B. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner: The Bean property (site/structure) is unique. It was constructed before the Village/City established a zoning code and was placed in a location that affords limited growth options. Family needs and designs of homes and lots have dramatically changed in the past six 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, ifgranted, will not alter the essential character of the locality: The improvements proposed though not a standard feature of a 1940' s home are standard in today's society. Specifically, a high percentage of homes built today include larger living, kitchen, dining and bedroom areas for family and guest gathering/socializing. The design proposed for the Bean's home will not be out of character or context of a home from 1940' 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, ofthe city or adjacent properties. 5.11 The City Planner did receive an email from the property owner to the north, 1768 Dunlap Street for which a response was remitted. The City Planner also received a forwarded email from the Beans regarding their request. Copies of these email and verbal comments from the Planning Commission hearing are attached for the City Council information. 6.0 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: 6.1 After further review it has been determined that under Section 1004.01E of the City Code would afford Mr. Bean an addition to a point 40 feet from the front yard property line, thus the proposal to construct an attached garage to a depth of 24 feet on to the existing home would be an encroachment of 16 feet. 6.2 Based on the infoffi1ation provided and the findings in Section 5 of this project report, the Community Development Staff recommends approval of a 16 foot (front yard) VARIANCE to Section 1004.01E and a 2 foot (side yard) VARIANCE to Section 1004.02DS of the Roseville City Code for Brian Bean to allow the construction a living area addition on to the west side of the existing home and a garage addition on to north of the home at 1760 Dunlap Street, subject to the following conditions: A. The proposed side yard addition (north) bein2 limited to an encroachment of 2 feet or to a point three feet from the property line. PF3459 - ReA 042803 - Page 5 of 6
