651-792-7074 . fax: 651-792-7070 January 23, 2004 Steve & Janet Hanon 2458 Sheldon Street Roseville, MN 55113 RE: Proposed Attached Garage Addition. Dear Steve & Janet: Thank you for your recent submittal seeking information regarding a proposed addition to your existing attached garage. I have the following comments: . Section l004.0lE (Exception) reads: If, after May 2l, 1959, existing houses on 50% or more of the frontage on any block have a predominant front yard setback different from that herein specified, all buildings hereafter shall not be interpreted so as to require a front yard of more than 40 feet in depth. . Staff interprets the above code section in the following manner: Each home with a greater front yard setback than the current 30 foot requirement is located at its predominant setback. . Your home was originally constructed in 1955 and lies approximate 45 feet from the front (west) property line, thus required setback that the City can apply to your property based on Section 1004.OlE is a 40 foot front yard setback. . Section 1004.02D5 stipulates that your side yard setback must be a minimum of 5 feet from the north property line. . The City Code allows an attached garage without living space above to be placed 3 :-:-:~ into the required front yard setback or in the case of your parcel an attached garage without living space above could be constmcted 37 feet from the front property line. . I have estimated that your garage lies lO feet from the north property line, which affords you room for your propo:o.eJ dJJition. Should there be a greater distance separating the garage from the side yard property line, such as the 12 feet you indicate on your drawing, you would be able to widen your proposal as long as it does not encroach into the required 5 foot setback. 2660 Civic Center Drive .:.
