Department 651-792-7070 February 11, 2004 Christopher & Noelle Olsen 2940 Old Highway 8 Roseville, MN 55113 RE: Detached Accessory Building Variance Request. Dear Christopher & Noelle: On January 15,2004, you submitted an application seeking a Conditional Use Pem1it and Variance to allow the construction of a 980 sq. ft. detached accessory building (garage) in the front yard of your parcel. This application was submitted after the application deadline for consideration at the Planning Commission's February 4,2004 meeting. A land use application must be submitted approximately one month prior to the Commission meeting so that the required review and public hearing notification can be completed in accordance with State Law. In the case of your application submittal, neither notification could be properly completed. I have reviewed your application and the information contained within, and have concluded that the application is complete and can be forwarded to the Planning Commission for consideration at their March, 3, 2004 meeting. You will receive further notice of this hearing/meeting as will your neighbors. It is suggested that you discuss your proposed intentions with your direct neighbors to familiarize them with your proposal. Your presence at the hearing is required and additional information must be submitted. Please see the following comments: · Your parcel is approximately 24,740 sq. ft. in size affording you 7,422 sq. ft. of impervious coverage. You indicate in your application submittal that existing impervious is 3,785 sq. ft. and would be 4,765 sq. ft with the proposed 980 sq. ft. detached garage, which total is well under the parcel's allowance. · Section 1004.0lA3 (Detached Accessory Building Size Limit) states: "Total detached accessory building area shall be limited to 40% of the required rear yard area, up to a maximum of 864 sq. ft. The 40% rear yard area limitation is calculated by taking the width ofthe subject lot or parcel and multiplying it by the required rear yard setback or 30 feet, then multiplying that number by .4 or 40%." Your rear yard area has been calculated to be 1,200 sq. ft., which exceeds the size allowed under a Conditional Use Permit (1,008 sq. ft.). 2660 Civic Center Drive .:. Roseville .:.
