April 25, 2003 Paul & Sally Westermeyer 1240 Belmont Lane Roseville, MN 55113 RE: Setback Permit Application for Front Porch Addition. Dear Paul & Sally: Thank you for your recent application seeking a SETBACK PERMIT to allow the construction of a porch on to the front of your home. I would also like to apologize for not getting a response to you sooner. However, upon return from vacation on the afternoon of April 24, 2003, there were numerous items that required my immediate attention and I was unable to review and respond to your application request. That being said, I have reviewed your request to construct a six foot by eight foot porch addition to the front of you home and have the following comments: . A review of your parcel on our CitySight program concludes the current principal structure (home) is constructed approximately 24 feet from the front yard property line versus the 30 feet indicated your submitted site plan. . A Setback Permit can only be processed for an encroachment that extends to a point 24 feet from the front property line, which unfortunately is the estimated location of your existing home. Hence, at this point it has been determined that a variance is necessary in order for you to construct the desired six foot deep front porch. . Because our computer program in not exact, it is suggested that you locate you front property corner pins/markers and verify the exact distance you home (foundation) lies from the property line adjacent Belmont Lane. To assist you in location this distance I have reviewed the as-built drawing (Engineering Department) for your section of Belmont Lane and conclude that your property line lies approximately 13 to 13-1/2 feet from the back of the curb. Once you measure the 13-1/2 foot distance from the back of curb or your property line, you can then measure the distance the house foundation lies for that point. You can also measure at the property corners, and by using a metal detector, locate your front corner pins/markers. . Should you conclude that the home is setback greater than the 24 feet as determined by the City via the CitySight program, I will complete a site inspection and reach a final determination on the existing setback and provide you with a process to proceed with your desired front porch. 2660 Civic Center Drive .:.
