4.0 VARIANCE REQUEST BACKGROUND: 4.1 Section 1004.0lA6 of the Roseville City Code (Maximum Total Surface Area) affords each residential property owner up to 30% impervious coverage on a lot/parcel, based upon the total lot size. In the case of the Seal property this allowance cannot exceed 2,715 square feet without an approved variance. 4.2 The Seal home was constructed in 1977 and is situated on a 9,050 square foot parcel. The horne/garage has a footprint estimated at 2,000 square feet, a driveway area of702 square feet, and a patio of 144 square feet. This gives the Seal property an existing coverage of 2,846 square feet or 131 square feet (1 %) over that allowed by the Code. The excess has been determined to be a legal pre-existing non-conforming condition, because it existed prior to the Code (Section 1004.0lA 1 - 15; as amended in 1999). 4.3 The proposed 13 foot wide (north/south) by 16 feet deep (east/west) dinning room addition (208 sq. ft.) would be constructed on to the southeast corner of the home adjacent to the existing dining room and kitchen. 4.4 The proposed dining room addition would increase the principal structure size to 2,208 square feet and create a total impervious coverage of 3,054 square feet or 34%. The existing and proposed condition exceeds the Code requirement by 339 square feet. 4.5 In 1977 Cave's North Boundary Addition was approved by the Roseville City Council. This subdivision plat, however, appears to have been approved with a substandard dimension. Specifically, parcels in the plat either do not meet the minimum required depth, width, or both, which in the case of the Seal's property creates a lot with only 9,050 square feet. In addition, lots to the east, facing Prior Circle, have nearly 200 feet of depth and structures that are setback over 60 feet from the cornmon rear property line. 4.6 The City Code, established in 1959 and amended in 1962 (Section 1005.02D5) requires a minimum depth of 110 feet, a minimum width of 85 feet and a minimum lot size of 11,000 square feet. A search of the records pertaining to this action does not indicate any formal action by the City Council regarding a variance to width, depth, or lot size, but may have been considered an implicit variance as part of the subdivision approval. 4.7 City records indicate that the existing principal structure lies between 40 and 42 feet from the rear property line. Placing the 16 foot dining room addition on to the home creates an encroachment of 6 feet. 4.8 A 144 square foot patio has been included in the impervious coverage total.
