cannot to a use conditions allowed by the official controls: The Mead principal structure is currently non-confonning to Section 1004.02D4 of the Roseville City Code. Any modification to the existing footprint adjacent Western Avenue would require a variance. The Meade proposal seeks to make their home more livable and functional by adding a second garage stall and a second story bedroom. Based on our analysis of the situation the Community Development Staff has determined that the property can be made more livable, but put to a more reasonable use if the official controls are varied. B. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner: The Mead home was constructed prior to enactment of Section 1004.02D4, which creates a unique situation when considering major improvements to the principal structure. The Mead property also has topographic issues that lessen the ability to place a detached structure in the yard and construct a living addition elsewhere on the home. These facts limit any proposed structural modifications outside current footprints without an approved deviation (variance) from the City. 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 (structure placement prior to code and topographic issues). C. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality: The improvements proposed though not normal for a 1950's home are standard in today's society. Specifically, homes built today include certain amenities such as two stall garages and multiple bathrooms. The design proposed for the Meade home will not be out of character or context of a home from the mid to late 1950's. 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 of this project report, staff recommends approval ofa 1.5 foot variance for the garage to Section 1004.01All and a 13.5 foot variance for the living area above the garage to Section 1004.02D4 of the Roseville City Code for Mack Meade to allow principal structure and site improvements at 388 South McCarrons Boulevard West, subject to the following conditions: A The applicant locating the parcel's property pins and verifying the location of the existing principal structure, thus allowing the Community Development Depmiment to verify the distance required for the setback variance.
