7 Your block of Dunlap has a minimum front yard setback requirement (Section 1004.02E) of 40 feet from the front property line. The current code requirement for most parcels in Roseville and any new parcels created is a 30 foot setback (Section 1004.02D5) from the front property line. 8 Staff considers your block of Dunlap to have irregular differences in setback depth because there is no true standard. Almost every home constructed on the block has a different setback. 9 The construction of a detached accessory structure (double or triple) would more than likely require a variance to Section 1004.02A6, Maximum Total Surface Area. 10 Section 4.8 makes the assumption that the existing garage will be reused as a workshop. Unfortunately this assumption was made in error. The garage will be replaced. 11 The addition will be approximately 50 feet long from east to west, with multiple windows. The garage is only 24 feet in depth. The addition would extend 24 feet forward from the existing home, which is the approximate distance forward from your home. 12 The Roseville City Code only requires enforcement of a front yard setback from a distance of 40 feet, regardless of the distance a home or homes are setback. Specifically, in the case of the homes in your general vicinity, all have a predominant setback established at the current distance the homes lies from the front property line, but the City Code is only enforceable from 40 feet. Section 4.1 of the report states what is required under the Code language. 13 A setback permit is an administrative variance that requires notification of neighbors directly adjacent to and/or impacted by an improvement request and an administrative hearing. A setback permit is required to meet certain criteria, reviewed by staff, for approval to be granted. Conditions can and usually are placed on all setback permits issued by the City. This process, because it is administrative, takes approximately three weeks. A variance requires the proof of a hardship, unique circumstance, and or characteristic. The term "hardship" or "undue hardship" typically refers to physical characteristics of the property, such as shape, soil conditions, or extreme topography. Neither mere inconvenience, nor reduction in value alone, is sufficient to justify a variance. The inability to put property to its highest and best use is not considered a hardship or practical difficulty. The problem that justifies the variance must be caused by conditions beyond the control of the applicant. The applicant cannot create the condition that requires the variance.
