5.2 Section 1004.02D5 (Dwelling Dimensions) requires a minimum principal structure setback of 30 feet from the front property line. The Sierferman proposal seeks to add a covered entry above the front stoop, which is considered a component of the principal structure and is required to meet the 30 foot front yard setback. The proposal to create a principal structure addition that would lie 21.5 feet from the front property line requires an 8.5 foot variance. 5.3 The Roseville City Code permits second stories and would permit an 18 foot by 18 foot (324 square foot) family room addition, as well as the side entry. These improvements increase the impervious total for the parcel to 3,340 square feet or within the 30% threshold and do not require a variance. 5.4 Since the public hearing notice was mailed to adjacent residents, the City Planner has received a number of questions, comments, and concerns regarding the Siefernlan proposed improvements. Some of these have been valid, while others are outside the control of the Community Development Department, the Planning Commission and the City Council. For instance, it is not our option to detemline whether a second story addition is necessary (it is allowed by the City Code), but rather whether there are addition impacts based on the Code and Ordinances and if so do they warrant support for a vanance. 5.5 In the case of the Sieferman proposal, the difference from what the City Code allows and that which is proposed includes: " A front covered entry of roughly 90 square feet with an 8.5 foot encroachment into the front yard and 15 additional square feet of impervious area. Currently the area where the porch is proposed has roughly 75 square feet of concrete steps and sidewalk. A porch is considered a component of a principal structure and must meet the same or 30 foot setback. However, a covered overhang constructed as an integral component of the home or with a post at the required setback, could extend 3 to 4 feet from the home, which extension is considered a roof eve and is not subject to the required front yard setback (Section 1012.0281) II A 22 foot by 22.5 foot (500 square feet) family room addition that is 171 square feet greater than the parcel is permitted (3,340 sq. ft. permissible versus a proposed 3,511 sq. ft.). II A future in-ground pool encompassing 332 square feet of additional impervious coverage. .. That being said, the proposed improvements create an impervious coverage difference of 466 square feet or lot coverage of 35.2%. PF3481 - ReA 06/16/03 - Page 3 of 8
