B. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner: The Boerigter property (site/structures) currently occupies 4,510 square feet of impervious area, which affords no additional coverage on the parcel. The parcel, a comer lot (14,928 sq. ft.), is just under the current Code requirement (12,500 sq. ft.). The parcel and situation is unique. Family needs and designs of homes and lots have dramatically changed in the past five decades, and in so doing have created certain conflicts with established codes of older communities. 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. C. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality: The improvements proposed though not a standard feature ofa 1950's home are standard in today's society. Specifically, a high percentage of homes built today include large master bedroom suites, living and/or great rooms for family and guest gathering, covered decks and porches, sidewalks, pathways, and patios. The design proposed for the Boerigter home will not be out of character or context of a home from the mid to late 1950's and more importantly in keeping with today's designs and family accommodations. The Community Development Staff has determined that this 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 findings in Section 5 of this project report, the Community Development Staff recommends approval ofa 1,780 square foot (12%) variance to Section 1004.01A6 and a 9 foot variance to Section 1004.02D5 of the Roseville City Code for Daniel Boerigter to allow the construction of 1,749 square feet of home improvements onto his home at 2080 Farrington Avenue, subject to the following conditions: A All existing and proposed building and site improvements shall not exceed a maximum impervious coverage of 6,259 square feet. B The structure improvements being limited to: a front porch that encroaches no more than 9 feet into the required front yard setback and is no more that 72 square feet in size; a living area addition limited to 1,125 square feet; a covered deck limited to 111 square feet; and sidewalk improvements limited to 441 square feet, as identified on the submitted site plan.
