Public Hearings 17 a. PLANNING FILE 14-021 18 Request by Andy Walz for a VARIANCE to Table 1004-1 of Roseville City Code to 19 allow a detached garage to encroach into the required front and side yard 20 setbacks; and a driveway to encroach into the required side yard setback at 39 21 South Owasso Boulevard 22 Chair Boguszewski opened the Public Hearing for Planning File 14-021 at 5:34 p.m. 23 Senior Planner Bryan Lloyd summarized the request as detailed in the staff report dated 24 September 3, 2014, and staff’s analysis of the variance request for reconstruction of a 25 modest two-car garage; based on the comments and findings outlined in the staff report, 26 and the site plan and written narrative detailing the proposal in Attachment C; and subject 27 to conditions as noted. 28 Mr. Lloyd noted the other variance request coming before the body tonight, and staff and 29 the property owners due diligence in attempting to provide a shared driveway that would 30 reduce impervious surfaces for these two separate proposals. However, Mr. Lloyd noted 31 that, due to the location of an existing fire hydrant in the middle of the only possible 32 location for a proposed shared driveway, it was found not to be feasible. 33 Specific to this variance request, Mr. Lloyd reviewed the4 property owner’s intent to 34 rebuild a detached garage crossing into public right-of-way close to the eastern property 35 boundary under current City Code requirements, and as detailed in the staff report. Mr. 36 Lloyd noted the existing conditions faced by the property owner, due to the age of when 37 the property was originally plotted and subdivided into its current configuration, creating 38 unique circumstances with this lake property not created by the landowner. 39 Mr. Lloyd noted the findings drafted by staff in their support of this requested variance. 40 Discussion 41 Chair Boguszewski noted the similar variance request in the next case at 385 S Owasso 42 Boulevard and conditions specific to paving the driveway, with the same condition not 43 applying to this variance request. 44
