5.7 Staff analysis of undue hardship factors is as follows: A. The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under conditions allowed by the official controls: The Sutliffparcel is unable to expand impervious surface coverage without a variance due to the parcel's current non- confonning overage. Requiring modifications to the proposal would reduce the functionality ofthe proposed addition and is not reasonable, nor practical. Further, the replacement of a 374 square foot accessory building with an 80 square foot garden shed is a reasonable and practical solution to reduce the total impervious coverage on the parcel. The Community Development Staff has determined that the property can be made more livable, useful, and put to a reasonable use under the official controls if the requested variance granted. B. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner: The Sutliff property (site/structure) is unique. It was constructed before the Village/City established a zoning code and before the City established lot coverage maximums. As well, home designs and family needs have changed dramatically both with society and for the Sutliffs. 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, ifgranted, will not alter the essential character of the locality: The improvement proposed for the Sutliff parcel will not be out of character or context of a home from 1950' s and more importantly in keeping with today's designs and family accommodations. 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 ofthis project report, the Community Development Staff recommends approval of a 522 square foot (5% - pre-existing and proposed overages) VARIANCE to Section l004.01A6 of the Roseville City Code for Daniel Sutliff to allow the construction of a living area addition and replacement of an accessory building with a garden shed at 922 Shryer Avenue, subject to the following conditions: A.
