4.0 REVIEW of REQUEST: 4.1 Charles and Dianne Peck have submitted a proposal to construct a detached garage 14 feet from the property line adjacent to Dellwood Avenue. This location and predicament is similar to the neighbor's detached garage at 2875 Merrill Street. 4.2 The Peck home was constructed in 1945 and has no existing garage. The Peck parcel is 85 feet wide along Dellwood Street and 120 feet wide along County Road C2 (10, 200 sq. ft.). 4.3 Three other properties along County Road C2 have detached accessory buildings that lie within the required front yard. These include 2874 Huron Street (14 feet from the property line), 2875 Dellwood Street (6 feet from the property line), and 2874 Merrill Street (14 feet from the property line). 4.4 Most of the homes along the south side of County Road C2 were constructed in the early 1950's before the establishment of the City Code and before County Road was improved to its status. Homes along this section of County Road C2 were constructed in 1953 (1), 1954 (6), 1955 (6), 1966 (1), 1980 (1), 1983 (1), 1984 (1), and 1986 (1). 4.5 The Peck parcel is designated Low Density Residential in the Comprehensive Plan and it is located in the R-l, Single Family Residence Zoning District. 4.6 The proposed improvement seeks to construct a 642 square foot detached accessory building in the comer side yard of the parcel for the purpose of vehicle and seasonal storage. The proposed detached accessory building would be placed in northeast comer of the parcel, adjacent the neighboring garage, and setback the same 14 foot distance from the property line along County Road C2. 4.7 The Peck parcel is 10,200 square feet in size, affording 3,060 square feet of impervious area. The current principal structure and driveway occupy an estimated 1,764 square feet of impervious area, which affords the Pecks approximately 1,296 square feet of impervious area before the maximum limit is reached. 5.0 STAFF COMMENTS/FINDINGS: 5.1 The Section 1004.02D4 of the Roseville City Code states: A side yard adjacent a street on a comer lot shall not be less than 30 feet (Ord. 275, 5/12/59 and amended in 1995). 5.2 In October 2002 a similar proposal was requested by Mr. Mike Strub, 1275 Burk, in which the accessory building was approved at a distance of 5 feet from the property line adjacent to Dellwood Street 5.3 The proposed improvement to the Peck parcel attempts to meet the goals and objectives of the Housing Plan. Specifically, the Housing Plan encourages reinvestment into existing housing to provide increased functionality to retain families within the community to maintain a quality neighborhood.
