File 3478: Request by Bernard and Kathy Laur, 600 Sextant Avenue, for a VARIANCE to Section 1004.01A6 (Maximum Total Surface Area) to allow construction of a 15 foot by 15 foot four-season porch on the rear of the home. Chair Duncan opened the hearing and requested City Planner Thomas Paschke provide a summary of the project report dated June 4, 2003. Bernard & Kathy Laur have submitted a proposal to construct a 225 square foot three season porch on to the southeast comer of their home. The proposed porch would meet the required side yard and rear yard setbacks applied to this parcel and the porch addition would occupy existing green area. The proposed porch would extend from the existing home to the pool surround (concrete walk). The proposed 225 square foot three season porch addition increases the parcel's impervious coverage to 4,171 square feet, thus a variance is necessary before the Laurs can obtain a building permit. The Community Development Staff finds the site is unique because of the construction that occurred prior to the adoption of the 30% impervious surface requirement. The Laurs had already expanded their surface area with a large house footprint, pool and pool deck, and a large driveway. This unknowingly precluded many future site options. Consequently, the staff recommends approval of859 square foot (8%) lot coverage variance to Section 1004.01A6 of the City Code for Bernard & Kathy Laur, 600 Sextant Avenue, subject to conditions. The staff recommended approval with conditions. Mr. and Mrs. Laurs had no questions. There being no further questions, Chair Duncan closed the hearing. Motion: Member Peper moved, seconded by Member Traynor, to recommend approval of an 859 square foot (8%) VARIANCE to Section 1004.01A6 (Maximum Total Surface Area) of the Roseville City Code for Bernard & Kathy Laur, to allow construction of a three season porch at 600 Sextant Avenue, based on the findings in Section 5 and conditions of Section 6 of the project report dated June 4, 2003. Ayes: 6 Nays: 0 Motion carried.
