and yard belongings. Staff has determined that it is reasonable to afford the Prokop's a garage width of 24 feet (standard double stall garage width) given the negligible encroachment of .15 feet to 1.14 feet. The Community Development Staff has determined that the property cannot be put to a reasonable use under the official controls if a variance is granted. B. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner: The Prokop property (site/structures) is unique in that impervious coverage occupies 38% of the parcel. The Prokop's did not create this situation, but rather a Code amendment in 1999 turned their then conforming parcel into a non-conforming parcel. These facts restrict any development on the parcel that increased impervious coverage without an approved deviation (variance) from the City. Further, the existing home is slightly skewed on the parcel, which hinders placement of additions at right angles or parallel to existing property lines or required setbacks. The Community Development Staff has determined that the plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner. C. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality: The improvements proposed though not a standard feature of a 1966 home are standard in today's society. Specifically, 99% of homes built today include a two or three stall attached garage. The design proposed for the Prokop home will not be out of character or context of a home from the mid to late 1960's. The Community Development Staff has determined that this variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality, nor adversely affect the public health, safety, or general welfare, of the city or adjacent properties. 6.0 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: 6.1 Based on the information provided and the findings in Section 5 of this project report, the Community Development Staff recommends approval of a 15% variance (1,541 square feet) to Section 1004.01A6 and a 1 foot variance to Section 1004.02D5 of the Roseville City Code for Richard & Joan Prokop to allow the construction of a 913 square foot attached garage and 148 square foot driveway addition at 700 County Road B2, subject to the following conditions: A All existing and proposed building and site improvements shall not exceed 4,577 square feet of impervious area. B The attached garage being limited to a maximum size of 913 square feet as indicated on the survey. C The attached garage not encroaching more that .15 feet on the north and 1.14 feet on the south of said structure as per the survey. PF3443 - ReA 121602 - Page 4 of 5
