to a option is has determined that the portion of the structure at 3075 Long Lake Road currently occupied by Hood Packaging can be put to a reasonable and practical use under the official controls, if a 20 foot VARIANCE to Section 1007.0lE is granted. B. The plight of the landmvner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner: The uniqueness may not lie with the property, but rather with the industry or industrial technique, in this particular case. The high- tech extruder takes hot plastic and molds it into a wide film as it travels upward in the interior of the extruder. The film cools it as it travels down where it is separated into two sheets. Each sheet of plastic film is then prepared into a large roll and readied for distribution. The state-of-the-art plastic film extruder raises the capabilities in throughput as well a quality, which changes are necessary to meet the needs of the customer and compete with the competition. There is no property "uniqueness", except that the existing roof height must be increased and the City Code prohibits a building height in an industrial district of more than 45 feet. The Community Development Staff has determined that the plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to manufacturing process and industrial technique not created by the landowner. C. The variance, if grcmted, will not alter the essential character of the locality: The improvement proposed, a roof height increase to 60 feet for a small portion of the structure, is not an uncommon height in industrial facilities (this is a height similar to a full grown street tree or about 6 stories). 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. I Based on the information provided and the findings in Section 5 of this project report, the Community Development Staff recommends approval of a 15 foot VARIANCE to Section 1007.0lE (Building Height) of the Roseville City Code for Hood Packaging and Investors Real Estate Trust to allow a small portion of the area leased by Hood Packaging, 3075 Long Lake Road to have a roof height of60 feet, subject to the following conditions: a. The increased roof height must be for only the area necessary to accommodate the plastic film extruder. b. The addition being constructed with similar building materials/color to that of the existing raised roof section and/or structure. PF3547 - ReA 022304 - Page 4 of 5
