<br /> <br />March 27, 2003 <br /> <br />Mr. Roland Gisvild <br />970 Transit Avenue <br />Roseville, MN 55113 <br /> <br />RE: Applicationfor Variance to Required Front Yard Setback. <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Gisvold: <br /> <br />Thank you for your recent application regarding constructing an attached garage in a portion of <br />your front yard. In review of your request, I have determined that additional information is <br />necessary. Specifically, you need to provide additional information/analysis regarding the site <br />and/or parcels "hardships". The one provided does not explain in detail why it is impossible, nor <br />does explain whether options exist, and if not why as well. I suggest that your explain why the <br />addition cannot be constructed onto the rear ofthe home and other options considered that also <br />do not work, as well as the parcels characteristics that limit the addition to the front yard <br />location. . <br /> <br />I have estimated that your current garage sets back 38 feet from your front property line, which <br />requires an 18 foot variance from Section 1004.02D5 of the Roseville City Code. I have based <br />this variance length on the desired 24 foot garage depth, which structure would lie 12 feet from <br />your front property line. <br /> <br />Based on the magnitude of the front yard encroachment, I would encourage you to discuss the <br />proposal with your neighbors and get their reaction. I will create a file for your request, but <br />cannot process or forward through the Planning commission/City Council process until further <br />reasoning is provided. <br /> <br />In summary, your variance application is incomplete and will not be acted upon until f11rther <br />receipt of "hardship" information. Should you have any questions or comments, please feel free <br />to call me at 651-490-2236. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />C)~of ROSEVILLE <br />L.. .~ <br /> <br />Thomas Paschke <br />City Planner <br /> <br />2660 Civic Center Drive .:.
