2. Safety Again - Except for the periodic police squad car (running a speed trap), very few vehicles park on the east side of Dale Court near its intersection with Dale Street. However, if a home were to be constructed on the subdivided parcel, then street (parallel) parking might become more common and this would force vehicles approaching Dale Street from further toward the center of the street. On Dale Street. south-bound vehicles turn right onto Dale Court and there is not a lot of passing space if a vehicle waiting to turn north onto Dale Street is nearly centered at this (Dale Court) entrance. 3. Principle - Granting approval to this request sets a bad precedent and opens a Pandora's Box for future "slice and dice" development in this neighborhood by allowing construction on substandard lots. The Roseville Community Development Department recommended the approval of a minor subdivision and a lot size variance to allow for creation of a buildable parcel at 1822 Dale Court Excerpts from this approval read: 4.6 Based on this proposal, Parcel "A" meets the minimum width (85 feet) requirement and the minimum square footage (11,000 s.f.) requirements of Section 1004.016 of the Roseville City Code (see attached land division sheet). Parcel "Bn - the triangle - does not meet the lot size for a comer lot which must be 12,500 s.f. 5.3 Other lots/parcels in the neighborhood have been split in recent years. Specifically, in May 1983 the City approved a lot division at 1748 AIta Vista, creating the lot at 1747 Dale Street (pF 1425) and in July of 1984 the City approved a lot division at 1766 AIta Vista creating the lot at 1765 Dale Street (pFI513). PF636 of 1971 created the four lots at 1800, 1804 and 1808 AIta Vista and 1781 Dale Street. and PF1292 of 1981 created the 6 lots at 1812, 1816, 1820, 1822 AIta Vista and the 2 vacant lots adjacent to Dale Street. It is worth noting that none of the lot divisions received variances from width, depth and/or lot area requirements of the RosevilJe City Code. Pf 3626 (Beauclaire), 1758 AIta Vista, recently (Apri~ 2005) was approved as a minor lot split and a width vanance. .uet .-\- ,;nn~ c>u~t arc. - reno: or ;:~OJ~ :..!':=~:I ;tco~;.=j :~:..JI:~ Ff":-:.:&!.-! -- :~-: ~.;; :~: :~6 ==' ::(,~: La: '>::; 155:4 . - ~;.(,:.)~:: :1.6:~ ;.f . , 5(') f La: : ;n(: ..'

Recent trends have been toward building larger homes which is fine so long as there is some proportionality to the lot on which it will be built in order to maintain the character of the neighborhood. Constructing an even moderate-sized home on an undersized lot is not consistent with existing residential housing in this locality For reasons of safety and maintaining some sense of housellot-size proportionality, please give serious consideration to denying the subdivision request. 2
