1 Extract of Draft Minutes from Planning Commission meeting of 9/4/02: 2 3 c. Plannin2 File 3424: Request by Susan McCloskey, 2525 County Road 4 C2, for a variance to Section 1004.01A6 (Maximum Total Surface Area) 5 of the Roseville City Code to allow construction of a connection to two 6 existing driveways. 7 8 Chair Duncan opened the hearing and requested City Planner Thomas Paschke 9 provide a summary of the project report dated September 42002. 10 11 Susan McCloskey submitted an application for an 800 square foot (5%) variance 12 to Section 1004.01A6 (Maximum Total Surface Area) to exceed the 30% 13 requirement by allowing the construction of a 700 (approximate) square foot 14 driveway that would connect two existing driveways on the premises of2525 15 County Road C2. Currently, the principal structure has attached garages that have 16 access to both Old Highway 8 and County Road C2. 17 18 The home and site were recently improved and the McCloskey's wish to connect 19 the drives to allow vehicles to move forward versus having to back out into 20 traffic. Further, Ms. McCloskey suffers from a physical disability and would 21 benefit from the connection. 22 23 The parcel is an odd shaped corner lot slightly over the 30% impervious coverage 24 threshold, so any improvement must receive a variance from Section 1004.016 of 25 the Roseville City Code. Thomas Paschke illustrated photos of the site. 26 27 Thomas Paschke described the 5,205 s.f. of impervious surface. 28 29 Staff recommended approval. There are safety issues on this corner and the 30 applicant has health issues which could create concern and variance 31 justifications. 32 33 Mr. McCloskey explained the house site issue and traffic during peak morning 34 and afternoon issues. This will be highly landscaped and will look more like a 35 garden path. Neighbors do not object. 36 37 Chair Duncan asked for details of the garages. 38 39 Member Stone asked ifnew landscaping and gardens will help absorb the runoff 40 from the new impervious surface (yes). 41 42 Member Bakeman asked if setback will be adequate to reduce cut-through across 43 corner. (Not straight, no incentive to do this). 44 45 There being no further comments, Chair Duncan closed the hearing. 46 47 Motion: Member Peper moved, seconded by Member Bakeman, to 48 recommend approval of an 800 square foot (5%) variance to Section 49 1004.01A6 of the Roseville City Code for Susan McCloskey, to allow a 50 driveway connection at 2525 County Road C2, based on the findings in 51 Section 5 and conditions of Section 6 of the project report dated September
