<br />IS <br />heightened coverage requirements being adopted This <br />requirement restricts the ability of this property owner from expanding the footprint of <br />the principal structure to gain the necessary space to create a more accessible and useful <br />garage. The City Planner has determined that constructing a garage addition into the <br />predominant front yard setback and increasing impervious coverage is a reasonable and <br />practical solution (as proposed) to the Hanon's unique situation. The Community <br />Development Staff has determined that the plight of the landowner is due to <br />circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner (change in Code <br />regulating lot coverage). <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />5.1 0 The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality: The slight <br />expansion of the attached garage toward the front yard property line and the slight <br />increase in lot coverage will go generally unnoticed, given the minimal size of each. The <br />Community Development Staff has determined that a 6 foot addition to the front <br />(west) of the attached garage, a 4 foot addition to the side (north) of the garage, and <br />a slight driveway addition, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the <br />locality, nor adversely affect the public health, safety, or general welfare, of the city <br />or adjacent properties. <br /> <br />6.0 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: <br /> <br />6.1 The Community Development Department recommends approval of a 304 sq. ft. (3%) <br />V ARIANCE to Section 1 004.01A6 (Maximum Total Surface Area) and a 2 foot <br />VARIANCE to Section 1004.0lE (Exception) of the Roseville City Code for Steve <br />Hanon to allow an addition to the existing attached garage and driveway at 2458 Sheldon <br />Street, based on the findings in Section 5 and the following conditions: <br /> <br />a. The attached garage addition being limited to a size of248 sq. ft. <br /> <br />b. The attached garage addition encroaching no more than 2 feet into the 40 foot <br />front yard (regulatory setback distance) and/or lie a minimum of38 feet from the <br />front property line adjaeent to Sheldon Street. <br /> <br />c. The attached garage addition being set back a minimum of 7-112 feet to the side <br />yard (north) property line as indicated on the submitted survey. <br /> <br />d. Impervious coverage being limited to 3,450 square feet, a 304 sq. ft. increase <br />(33% total) in the parcel's allowable coverage. <br /> <br />e. Gutters installed along the eves of the accessory garage to direct roof drainage to <br />the front and rear yard (if possible), specifically away from the adjacent <br />residential property to the north. <br /> <br />PF3554 - RVBA 040704 - Page 5 of 6 <br />
