4.0 REVIEW of REQUEST: 4.1 Section 1004.01A6 of the Roseville City Code (Maximum Total Surface Area) affords each residential property owner a 30% impervious coverage based upon the total lot size. In the case of the Prokop property this allowance cannot exceed 3,036 square feet without an approved variance. 4.2 The Prokop home is a 1966 rambler situated on a 10,120 square foot lot. The home has a footprint of 1,488 square feet (28 feet by 40 feet); an attached 352 square foot (16 feet by 22 feet) garage; patio, driveway, and in-ground pool pavement totaling 1,888 square feet; and a 140 square foot pool equipment storage structure. Given these current site conditions the Prokop's have a current impervious coverage of 3,868 square feet or 38 %. 4.3 The proposed improvement, elimination of the existing 352 attached garage and replacing it with a larger, more functional attached garage of 913 square feet and 148 square feet of additional driveway area, brings the total impervious coverage of the parcel to 4,577 square feet or 45 %. 4.4 A recently approved variance for John & Laura Huppertz allowed their improvements (attached garage, pool, mudroom, expanded kitchen and large family room) to increase from a Code allowance of 3,208 square feet to 4,329 square feet or an increase of 1,121 square feet or 10%. The Huppertz parcel was 10,694 square feet or 574 square feet larger that the Prokop parcel. 4.5 The current proposal places the attached garage to within 4 feet of the property line or an encroachment of 1 foot into the required 5 foot side yard setback. The City could process this encroachment under a Setback Permit, but that process can only begin after the variance approval and which process will take an additional 3 to 4 weeks. 4.6 The Community Development Staff has reviewed the side yard setback issue and has determined that there is no evident impact to the adjacent property. 5.0 STAFF COMMENTS/FINDINGS: 5.1 The Prokop's purchased the home in 1986 and have out grown some of the homes features, mainly the attached 352 square foot single stall garage. The Prokop's have three vehicles that they desire to place within the new garage and they also have a need for storage and a work area. 5.2 The proposed garage will be used to store four total vehicles, one (collectable) on a hydraulic lift above one of the three vehicles they use daily. The rear of the garage will be used for storage and a work space. A rear access door will be provided out to the patio/pool area. PF3443 - ReA 121602 - Page 2 of 5
