<br />4.0 REVIEW of REQUEST: <br /> <br />4.1 Section 1004.01A6 of the Roseville City Code (Maximum Total Surface Area) affords <br />each residential property owner up to 30% impervious coverage on a lot/parcel, based <br />upon the total lot size. In the case of the Meyer property this allowance cannot exceed <br />3,598 square feet without an approved variance. <br /> <br />4.2 The Meyer home was constructed in 1955 and is situated on an 11,985 square foot <br />(estimated) parcel. The home has an estimated footprint of 2, 100 square feet; a detached <br />garage of 624 square feet; patio, and existing driveway of 848 square feet. This gives the <br />Meyer property an existing coverage of 3,572 square feet or 29.8%. <br /> <br />4.3 The proposed improvement would expand the driveway to the north approximately 10 <br />feet at the front (east) property line and 5 feet at the garage (west). The proposed <br />expanded driveway will be set back a minimum of 5 feet from the side yard (north) <br />property line. <br /> <br />4.4 The proposed improvements increase the parcel's impervious coverage from an existing <br />condition (estimated) 3,596 square feet (29.8%) to 4,483 square feet (37%), thus <br />requiring a variance of 887 square feet (the difference from allowed 3,572 to proposed <br />4,483). <br /> <br />4.5 Variance Conditions Proposed: <br /> <br />SECTION 1004.01A6 <br />Code Requirement <br />(lot covera e <br />30% <br />3,596 s . ft. <br /> <br />Existing <br />Condition <br />29.8% <br />3,572 s . ft. <br /> <br />Proposed <br />Condition <br />37% <br />4,483 s . ft. <br /> <br />Variance <br />Re uested <br />7% <br />887 s . ft. <br /> <br />4.6 In 1998 (effective Jan 1, 1999) the City of Roseville amended Section 1004 of the City <br />Code to include a maximum lot coverage limit of 30% for all single and two family <br />residential properties. This code modification was a direct result of changes in State Law <br />pertaining to storm water rate and quality control on residential lots (other uses have <br />different runoff ratios and requirements). <br /> <br />4.0 STAFF COMMENTS/FINDINGS: <br /> <br />5.1 The Meyer parcel has limited options when considering added imperious coverage. <br />Specifically, the parcel has a remaining 24 square feet of allowable coverage before the <br />parcel achieves the maximum (30%) and a variance is necessary. This minimal amount <br />will not afford Mr. Meyer the necessary means to expand the driveway and solve his <br />accessmg concerns. <br /> <br />PF3486 - ReA 061603 - Page 2 of 5 <br />
