4.0 REVIEW of REQUEST: 4.1 Section 1004.0 lA6 of the Roseville City Code (Maximum Total Surface Area) affords each single family residential property owner a 30% impervious coverage based upon the total lot size. In the case of the Williams property this allowance cannot exceed 3,115 square feet without an approved variance. 4.2 The Williams home is a 1950 Bungalow situated on a 10,382 square foot lot. The home has a footprint of 1,029 square feet; a detached garage (under constmction) of 864 square feet; driveway pavement of 1,184 square feet; and an 80 square foot garden shed. Given these cun"ent site conditions the Williams have a current impervious coverage of 3, 157 square feet or 30.4%, square footage meets the threshold allowance for 30% coverage. 4.3 The proposed improvement, constmcting a 256 square foot bedroom addition on to the rear of the home, would bring the total impervious coverage of the parcel to 3,413 square feet or 32%. SECTION 1004.01A3 Code Requirement 30% Impervious Coven e 3,115 s . ft Existing Condition Proposed Condition Variance Requested 3,157 s . ft. 3,413 s . ft. 298s .ft.-3% 5.0 STAFF COMMENTS/FINDINGS: 5.1 In 2002, the City issued a building permit to Mr. Williams for constmction of a new detached 864 square foot garage to replace an existing detached garage on the premises. The 864 square foot accessory building is the maximum permissible under the City Code. However, at the time the permit was taken out for the accessory stmcture, Mr. Williams was unaware of the impervious coverage requirement and that the new garage would raise the total surface coverage to the maximum allowed and preclude further additions ro added impervious surfaces. 5.2 In 2003 Mr. Williams applied for a building permit to constmct the bedroom addition onto the rear (west side) of his home. A review was completed by the Building Inspector and City Planner that determined the addition would exceed the allowable impervious coverage for the parcel by 298 square feet. 5.3 The current situation affords limited options for Mr. Williams. The Staff did consider suggesting a reduction in the detached accessory stmcture size; however, it was too far along in the constmction process. Another option afforded Mr. Williams is to reduce a portion of the driveway; however, it is not feasible to reduce the driveway by the 298, square feet necessary to allow the bedroom addition.
