1 a. Planning File 3426: Request by Mike Strub for a 25 foot Variance to Section 2 1004.02.D4 of the RosevilIe City Code to allow for construction of a detached accessory 3 building at 1275 Burke Avenue. 4 5 Chair Duncan opened the hearing and requested City Planner Thomas Paschke provide a summary 6 of the project report dated October 2,2002. 7 8 Thomas Paschke explained that Mike Strub submitted a proposal to construct a detached garage 9 five feet from the property line adjacent to Dellwood Street. The Strub home was constructed in 10 1979 and lies 17 feet from the Dellwood Street property line. 11 12 The proposed improvement seeks a 528 square foot detached accessory building for the purpose of 13 seasonal storage. The proposed detached accessory building would be placed in the northwest 14 comer of the parcel, adjacent to the neighboring garage, but set back five feet from the Dellwood 15 Street property line. 16 17 The Snub parcel is 10,184 square feet in size, affording 3,044 square feet of impervious area. The 18 current principal structure, attached garage and driveway occupy an estimated 2,508 square feet of 19 impervious area, which affords Mr. Snub approximately 536 square feet of impervious area before 20 the maximum limit is reached. 21 22 Based on the proposal by Mr. Snub, a variance is necessary to Section 602.06 because there will 23 not be adequate depth (20 feet) behind the property line to allow vehicle parking on the driveway. 24 Notwithstanding, staff has determined that a condition must be placed on this proposal to ensure 25 that vehicle parking is limited to inside the accessory structure, due to the close proximity to the 26 public right-of-way and street. 27 28 The site is "LR" on the Comprehensive Plan and R-1 zoning. 29 30 The adjoining neighbors to the north did receive a variance for a similarly placed garage. Paschke 31 explained that Mr. Snub's rear yard property is used as a low area for surface water storage. He 32 noted that over 25 nearby properties have similar garage placements; this has occurred over time, 33 has had many constraints including storm water. 34 35 Staff recommended approval with conditions. 36 37 Member Pepper asked if the applicant's garage is two stalls (yes). The applicant, Mr. Strub, said 38 the staff report was accurate. Bob and Shirley Cobert (neighbors) recommended approval. Other 39 emails supporting the request were received by staff (Paschke). 40 41 Member Stone asked ifthere will be increases in storm water (yes). Thomas Paschke noted there 42 still is porous surface in the yard. To move the garage further into the yard may require a 43 pavement variance. 44 45 There being no further comments, Chair Duncan closed the hearing. 46 47 Motion: Member Traynor moved, seconded by Member Bakeman, to 48 recommend approval of a 25 foot variance to Section 1004.02D4 and Section 602.06 of the 49 Roseville City Code for Mike Snub, to allow construction of a detached accessory building at 50 1275 Burke Street, based on the findings in Section 5 and conditions of Section 6 of the project 51 report dated October 2, 2002. 52 53 Ayes: 5 54 Nays: 0 55 Motion carried. 56
