Roseville Planning Commission File # 3465 Kenneth Berger request for variance to Section 1004.01A9 (Prohibited Location) To allow Construction of a detached accessory building in the front yard. Roseville Planning Commission meeting Wednesday 5/07/2003 6:30 P. M. Roseville City Hall, Roseville, Minnesota My name is George John Reiling. I currently reside at 3071 N. Victoria Street (immediately north of the 3063 N. Victoria Street property currently requesting a variance to Code Section 1004.01A9 (Prohibited Location) to allow construction ofa detached accessory building in the front yard of3063 N. Victoria Street, Roseville, Minnesota 55113. I purchased the 3063 N. Victoria Street property in 1990 as an undivided parcel of approximately one acre, which included the current residence located at 3063 N. Victoria Street. I purchased the property at 3063 N. Victoria Street with the intention to subdivide the lot into two parcels- One the existing home and a smaller lot (3063 Victoria) and a new northerly parcel (upon which my current home at 3071 N.Victoria Street currently exists. During late May, 1991 the RoseviIIe City Council granted myself a lot subdivision into two parcels-the existing home at 3063 Victoria and a new parcel to the North (3071 Victoria) As a condition of the subdivision and variance to allow construction of a new residence within 30 feet of the easterly property line of the new lot at 3071 Victoria, the Roseville City Council required myself to have a Registered Land Surveyor prepare a detailed drainage/grading plan for both lots (3063/3071 Victoria) as a condition of issuance of a building permit for the structure which now exists at 307 I Victoria (northern parcel of subdivision) I submitted a detailed drainage/grading plan for both lots (3063/3071 Victoria) to the City of Roseville during early November, 199 I (prior to the issuance of a building permit for 3071 Victoria). During early November, 199 I the City of Roseville approved the drainage/grading plan for 3063/3071 Victoria and issued a building permit for my current home at 3071 Victoria. I subsequently sold the existing home and lot at 3063 N. Victoria to Mr. Kenneth Berger with a closing date of May 28, 1993. A condition of the purchase agreement for 3063 Victoria was that I was to grade the lot of3063 Victoria to the grading plan dated 11/91 at my own expense. This grading was accomplished (with some difficulty due to an extremely wet summer) during the summer of 1993. As you will note on the variance application, the area in which Mr. Berger proposes to place a 600 sq. ft.+ garage plus additional hard surface area drains both toward Victoria Street (Green arrows) and also across the front of both lots (3063/3071 Victoria) to a catch basin located in the front yard of my property at 3071 Victoria Street. Since virtually one-half of the front lot area of3063 N. Victoria St (approximately .25 acre) drains toward Victoria Street and into the above mentioned catch basin in front of 307 I Victoria, I believe there may be an adverse effect on the drainage pattern, should a 600+ sq. ft. garage plus additional hard surface area be placed in the front yard of 3063 Victoria Street as proposed by Mr. Berger. It would seem to be a prudent course of action to require the water which drains off the north roof of the proposed garage and hard surface area also be directed toward the west (and downhill) as was required in Staff Recommendation (Section 6.1 E) through the use of grading and/or guttering as was required for the southerly parcel (Staff recommendation 6. I E) I alluded to this concern when I met with the City Planner, Mr. Thomas Paschke at the Roseville City Hall on Monday 4-2 I -2003, shortly after receiving the variance notification card. I would also question Staff Recommendation 5.4 that there would be no impact or change current drainiage patterns on the parcel, since the construction of a 600+ sq. foot garage and additional hard surface area would now be located in what is currently a wide open drainage area. (See proposed drainage/grading plan dated 10130/1 99 I) Thank you for your consideration into this matter. George 1. Reiling 307 IN. Victoria StreetI' Roseville, MN 55 I I3
