File 3518: Request by Michael Davis, 2730 Griggs Street, for a Conditional Use Permit in accordance with Section 1004.01A4 and a Variance to Section 1004.01A3 Detached Accessory Building Size) and Section 1004.01A6 (Maximum Total Surface Area) of the Roseville City Code to allow the construction of a 30 foot by 34 foot (1,020 sq. ft.) detached accessory building. Chairman Duncan opened the hearing and requested City Planning Thomas Paschke to present verbal summary of the staff report dated September 3, 2003. City Planner Paschke explained that Michael Davis, 2730 Griggs Street, seeks approval of a Conditional Use Permit and a Variance to Section 1004.01A3 (Detached Accessory Building Size) of the Roseville City Code to allow the construction of a 1,020 sq. ft. detached accessory building in the rear yard. Michael Davis has submitted a proposal to construct a detached accessory building on his lot. The structure, a 30 foot by 34 foot (1,020 sq. ft) detached garage would be located in the general location of the existing detached garage on the premises. The City Code limits detached accessory buildings to a maximum size of 1,008 sq. ft. and impervious coverage to 30% of the lot area. In this case, the proposed 1,020 sq. ft. detached accessory building is 12 sq. ft. more than allowed by the Code with a Conditional Use Permit, and the total impervious surface coverage for the parcel upon completion of the proposed improvements is estimated at 3,534 sq. ft. or 530 sq. ft. above the parcels allotment. The Davis home was constructed in 1954 and lies on a 10,013 square foot (75 feet by 133.5 feet) lot. The lot has an impervious coverage allowance of3,004 sq. ft and a rear yard allowance of 900 sq. ft. The parcel currently includes a house foundation size of 1,091 sq. ft; an existing detached accessory building side of 572 sq. ft.; existing driveway of 1,423 sq. ft; all totaling 3,086 sq. ft or 82 sq. ft. more that the City Code allows for the Davis parcel. The Davis parcel is 10,013 square feet in size, affording 3,002 square feet of impervious coverage. Built before the 30% surface coverage requirement, the existing improvements (principal structure - 1,091 sq ft., driveway - 1,423 sq. ft., detached garage 572 sq. ft.) exceed the requirement of the Code by 82 square fee (currently 31 %). Mr. Paschke reviewed the development proposal with regard to the criteria in Section lO13.01.D (Conditional Use Permit) of the Roseville Zoning Ordinance and has concluded the proposal meets these criteria. Specifically, a detached accessory building is a permitted use in an R-l District. The proposed detached garage will not create additional traffic or the need for additional public facilities. With proper exterior building treatment, drainage, and landscaping, the building will not have an impact on surrounding property or values. There appears to be no impact on general health, safety, and public welfare. In addition, the project complies with the Comprehensive Plan designation as low-density residential uses. The City Planner reviewed the development proposal with regard to variance standards and determined that it is difficult to justify a departure from the strict application of the City Code allowing the applicant to construct the proposed detached 1,020 sq. ft detached accessory building. However, there is justification for reducing the size of the replacement garage to a size closer to the 900 sq. ft rear yard maximum afforded the parcel. Specifically, a 32 foot by 30 foot (960 sq. ft.) detached accessory building designed with attic trusses would reduce overall impervious coverage by 60 sq. ft. and be nearer to the rear yard allowance, but more importantly, the design would still afford Mr. Davis a three car garage with ample interior storage area for the items indicated.
