5.4 Staff analysis of undue hardship factors is as follows: A. The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use ifused under conditions allowed by the official controls: The Golie property already exceeds the Code allowed 30% impervious coverage. Any structural addition/modification that would expand the footprint or any additional hard surface (asphalt, concrete, pavers) would not be allowed without a variance (in this case Mr. Golie installed a backyard basketball court). Further, the Golie proposal seeks to make their home more livable and functional by adding family room (porch) area. The Community Development Staff has determined that the property cannot be put to a reasonable use under the official controls. B. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner: The Golie property (site/structures) is unique in that impervious coverage occupies 32% of the parcel. The Golie's did not create this situation, but rather, a Zoning Ordinance text change in 1999 established a "lot coverage requirement. This fact limits any proposed structural modification outside current home/garage footprint or increased paved surface without an approved deviation (variance) from the City. The Community Development Staff has determined that the plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner. C. The variance, ifgranted, will not alter the essential character of the locality: The improvements proposed will add an amenity to the home that is characteristic to many homes built today. The design proposed for the Golie home will not be out of character or context of a home from the mid to late 1990's. The Community Development Staff has determined that this variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality, nor adversely affect the public health, safety, or general welfare, of the city or adjacent properties. 6.0 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: 6.1 Based on the information provided and the findings in Section 5 of this project report, staff recommends approval ofa 622 square foot variance to Section 1004.01A6 of the Roseville City Code for Tim & Leslie Golie to allow a porch addition to the rear (south) of their home at 592 Sextant Avenue, subject to the following conditions: A All building and site improvements shall not exceed 3,934 square feet of . . impervIOUS area. B The review and approval of a building permit consistent with the approved plans and variance. C The installation of roof gutters to properly direct roof drainage away from the adjacent properties.
