4.0 REVIEW of REQUEST: 4.1 Mike Strub has submitted a proposal to construct a detached garage five feet from the property line adjacent Dellwood Street. The Strub home was constructed in 1979 and lies 17 feet from the Dellwood Street property line. 4.2 The neighboring home (1276 County Road B) was constructed in 1964 and lies roughly ten feet from the Dellwood Street property line. The neighboring home also has an existing detached garage, constructed in 1968, which lies one foot off the Dellwood Street property line. Through the project review, staff has determined that the detached garage (1968) was approved under the building permit process and did not receive nor was required to receive a variance. 4.3 The Strub parcel is designated Low Density Residential in the Comprehensive Plan and it is located in the R-1, Single Family Residence Zoning District. 4.4 The proposed improvement seeks a 528 square foot detached accessory building in the comer side yard of the parcel for the purpose of seasonal storage. The proposed detached accessory building would be placed in northwest comer of the parcel, adjacent the neighboring garage, but setback five feet from the Dellwood Street property line. 4.5 The Strub parcel is 10,184 square feet in size, affording 3,044 square feet of impervious area. The current principal structure, attached garage and driveway occupy an estimated 2,508 square feet of impervious area, which affords Mr. Strub approximately 536 square feet of impervious area before the maximum limit is reached. 5.0 STAFF COMMENTS/FINDINGS: 5.1 The proposed improvement to the Strub parcel attempts to meet the goals and objectives of the Housing Plan. Specifically, the Housing Plan encourages reinvestment into existing housing to provide increased functionality to retain families within the community to maintain a quality neighborhood. The proposed detached accessory building would complement the existing attached garage, which is not large enough to store Mr. Strub's seasonal items. 5.2 The Strub parcel has a low area that lies further east of the proposed structure in a location where the proposed building could meet the required 30 foot setback. However, this low area collects some of the neighboring properties drainage during rain events. Further, the acceptable location would eliminate a large portion of the back yard and block the adjacent property owner's view. This neighbor supports the proposal and opposes a proposal that places the building in the rear yard. 5.3 The Section 1004.02D4 of the Roseville City Code states: A side yard adjacent a street on a comer lot shall not be less than 30 feet (Ord. 275, 5/12/59 and amended in 1995).
