REVIEW 4.1 College Avenue. parcel is located within Comprehensive Planning District 2, where it is designated as Low Density Residential, LR and is zoned R-l, Single Family Residential District. 4.2 Mr. Albertson owns two parcels, Lot 6 and Lot 7, Block 10, Arden Hills No.3. Each lot is 100 feet wide by 200 feet deep, for a total lot size of 40,000 sq. ft. The 100 foot by 200 foot lot size is the predominant lot size in the neighborhood. To the west, across the Northwestern College Campus is Lake Johanna. 4.3 The proposal by Mr. Albertson would create two parcels. Parcel "A would include the existing home and be 131 feet wide by 200 feet deep or 26,200 sq. ft. Parcel "B" would be 69 feet wide by 200 feet deep or 13,800 sq. ft. Based on this proposal, Parcel "B" does not meetthe minimum width (85 feet) requirement of Section 1004.016 of the Roseville City Code, requiring a 16 foot width variance. 4.4 No new street or utility construction is necessary to serve the proposed division. Sewer and water laterals and utility easements are necessary for the vacant developable parcel. 5.0 STAFF COMMENTS/FINDINGS: 5.1 The Albertson home, built in the 1950' s, is approximately 92 feet long from the north side of the attached garage to the south side of the house. The attached garage is skewed on the property and takes advantage of the slope on the property (built at a lower elevation than the house). A breezeway like corridor connects the garage to the single level rambler house. 5.2 The placement of the home on the property was done in such a manner that the house portion of the structure is 20 feet over the northern property line of Lot 7. This existing condition makes it impossible to add a second house without actually removing the attached garage and moving the home to the north 21 feet (necessary placement to afford the creation of an 85 foot wide parcel with the home lying 10 feet from the newly created property line). 5.3 The property could be divided in such a manner that a parcel with 85 foot of width at the front property line could be created. The new parcel would be considered conforming and buildable. However, the shape of such a parcel would intrude into what is considered the existing home's front yard. 5.4 Section 11.0404 E states: Three Parcel Minor Subdivision: When a subdivision creates a total ofthree (3) or less parcels, situated in an area where public utilities and street rights of way to serve the proposed parcels already exist in accordance with City codes, and no further utility or street extensions are necessary, and the new parcels meet or exceed the size requirements of the zoning code, the applicant may apply for a minor subdivision approval. In this case proposed Parcel "A" meets all requirements of the City Code. PF3556 RPCA 040704 Page 2 of 5
