is most the proposed new parcel. The other similar lots at 2445 Pascal Street, Simpson Street, 2419 Pascal Street and 2405 Pascal Street are similar in shape and size (legal confonning) to the lot created for the existing home. Though the property in its current state can be put to a reasonable use under the Official Controls, the property is under utilized as was the case of the above identified addressed properties. The Community Development Staff determined that the vacant property can be put to a reasonable and practical use under the official controls if the appropriate variances are granted. 5.9 The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner: The Trudeau situation is unique. Most double frontage parcels in Roseville abut the rear yard adjacent to collector or arterial roadways such as County Road B or C. However, few lots have double frontage along local streets. In the past five years, the City has approved land division for a few double frontage parcels (such as Burke Street), but none that included variances. The Community Development Staff determined that the plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner. 5.10 The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality: Although approving this variance would create a parcel that has less depth and square footage than others in the general vicinity, it is not a departure from past council action. Four parcels have been created since the land was platted, which do not meet the requirements of the current Code and are similar in shape and size to the Trudeau proposal. The Community Development Staff determined that a lot depth and lot variance for each parcel, 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 The Community Development Staff recommends approval of a 16.6 foot lot depth and a 1,664 sq. ft.lot size VARIANCE to Section 1004.016 (Residential Dimensional Requirements) for Parcel "A", and a 10 foot lot depth and a 994 sq. ft. lot size VARIANCE to Section 1004.016 (Residential Dimensional Requirements) for Parcel "B", and a MINOR SUBDIVISION (Three Parcel Minor Subdivision) to allow the creation of two substandard residential parcels for property located at 2485 Pascal Street, based on the findings in Section 5 of the project report dated June 2, 2004 with the following conditions: a. The City policy is to accept park land or cash in lieu of land dedication for the creation of new lots. In this case no park is planned near of on this site, therefore, cash will be accepted in lieu of parkland dedication. The dedication fee is $1000.00 for the newly created Parcel "A". The fee will be collected prior to issuance of a building permit on said Parcel "A". PF3571 ReA 061404 Page 4 of5
