4.0 PROJECT SPECIFICS: 4.1 Dennis & Patricia Humphrey desire to divide their 1.15 acre parcel (154 feet by 324 feet) into two parcels. One parcel would include the existing home and the second parcel would be used to construct a new home for the Humphreys. 4.2 Section 11.0404 E states: Three Parcel Minor Subdivision: When a subdivision creates a total of three (3) or less parcels, situated in an area where public utilities and street rights of way to serve the proposed parcels already exist in accordance with City codes, and no further utility or street extensions are necessary, and the new parcels meet or exceed the size (area) requirements of the zoning code, the applicant may apply for a minor subdivision approval. 4.3 Section 1004.02D5 requires each residential parcel/lot in Roseville to have a minimum width of 85 feet along a public street, a width the Humphrey proposal cannot achieve, thus a variance is necessary. 5.0 STAFF FINDINGS: 5.1 Section 1004.02D5 single family residential lots/parcels in Roseville to have a minimum width of 85 feet, a minimum depth (interior) of 110 feet, and an area of 11,000 square feet. 5.2 The Humphrey parcel has an existing width of 154.47 feet, a depth of322.5 feet, and a size of 49,817 square feet ( 1.15 acres). The proposed parcels would have widths of 114 feet for the existing homestead and 40.47 feet for the new parcel; a depth of 160 feet for the existing homestead and a varying depth of 322.5 and 162 feet for the new parcel; and the parcels would have an area of 18,240 square feet for the existing homestead and 31,577 square feet for the new parcel. 5.3 The parcel created for the existing homestead would provide ample setback from side (15 feet on the west) and rear yards 80+ feet on north). The new parcel creates a "flag lot" that is 40 feet in width, a deficiency of 45 feet to the 85 foot minimum width requirement. However, the new parcel depth and square footage exceed the requirements of the Roseville City Code. 5.4 The Humphrey parcel is the largest in the neighborhood except for the Minnesota Islamic Cemetery (northeast). The Humphrey parcel is also the only parcel in the neighborhood that can adequately accommodate two residences. The proposed division and proposed home location would have little impact on neighboring properties given the deep lots that lie to the west and north, as well as the home locations along Burke Avenue. 5.5 A number of adjacent property owners have contacted the City Planner to ask specific questions and state their support for the Humphrey request.
