January 15,2004 City ofRoseville (Community Development Department): 2660 Civic Center Drive Roseville, MN 55113 To: Thomas Paschke (Community Development Department) Re: Interest in Detached Accessory Building (garage). Thank you for your quick response to our request. Enclosed are the applications for a variance and for a conditional use permit. In response to your comments, here is our information: - You noted that based upon our lot being 24,740 square feet our lot afforded 7,422 square feet of impervious coverage. Including the driveway, walkways, current footprint of the house and attached garage and the footprint of the proposed structure, the impervious coverage is estimated to be 4,765 square feet. This is below the afforded amount of 7,422 square feet. Therefore, we will not be requesting a variance from this section of the city code. -Our proposed structure will be over 864 square feet but less than 980 square feet. We will be requesting a conditional use permit. As to the criteria that conditional use permits are judged against, here is our response: a. Impact on Traffic-Our proposed structure will most likely be set back at least 30 feet from the curb (this will be further determined with the assistance of city engineers). This structure will not interfere with traffic or the field-of- view of drivers entering into our driveway or onto Old Hwy. 8. b. Impacts on parks, streets and other public facilities-We do not foresee any impact on any of the above. We plan on using the existing driveway, and its current street access, to gain access to the new structure. c. Compatibility of the site plan...- We plan on making the structure similar in nature to the existing house and attached garage. Part of the reason we purchased this property was the uniqueness of the home, both inside and out. We plan to add to the unique nature of our home. d. We feel that such an addition to this property will add to the market value. e. There should be no negative impact on the general public health, safety and welfare. f. We hope that home-improvement, investing in one's property and taking pride in home ownership are all part of the city ofRoseville's Comprehensive Plan.
