era. However, the parcel is narrower (75 feet) and smaller (10,013 sq. ft.) than the current code prescribes. In addition, current improvements pre date accessory building and lot coverage requirements that have been established to balance impacts. That being said, there are limited options offered to Mr. Davis to resolve his storage space needs. The Community Development Staff has determined that the plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner (modest home on large parcel). 5.12 The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality: Although a large detached accessory building (garage) is not a design feature of the late 1950's, there appears to be a need for similarly sized structures in the neighborhood. Most of the homes that lie adjacent to Veteran's Park on the east side of Griggs Street have detached garages in the rear yard with sized ranging from 572 sq. ft. (Davis) to near 800 sq. ft. The reduced size proposed by staff (960 sq. ft.) can be designed to be compatible with the neighborhood with a roof design and windows that minimize massing impacts. The Community Development Staff has determined that a 470 sq. ft variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality, nor adversely affect the public health, safety, or general welfare, of the city or adjacent properties. 6.0 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: 6.1 Based on the information provided and the fmdings in Section 5 of this project report, the Community Development Staff recommends approval of a CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT (garage size) in accordance with Section 1004.01A4; approval of a 60 sq. ft. VARIANCE (rear yard are) to Section 1004.01A3; and a 470 sq. ft. VARIANCE to Section 1004.01A6 (impervious coverage) of the Roseville City Code for Michael Davis to allow the construction of a detached accessory building in the rear yard at 2730 Griggs Street, subject to the following conditions: A. A maximum detached accessory building size of 30 feet by 32 feet or 960 sq. ft. B. A maximum impervious coverage of 3,474 sq. ft. or 34.6%. C. A maximum accessory building height of 15 feet to the mid-point ofthe roof truss. D. The detached accessory building being limited to the storage of residential vehicles, lawn and garden items, seasonally used recreational vehicles or items (snowmobiles), household items, and a dog kennel. E. Submittal of a scaled site plan indicating existing and proposed conditions consistent with the above variance conditions. F. Windows being placed on the north and south building wall to break-up the building PF3518 - RPCA 090303 - Page 5 of 6
