Attachment E 34 amount of time to complete given the level of detail required, its potentially large 35 scope, and the fact that the amendment is not the Engineering Division's highest 36 priority project; 37 b. The proposal is generally consistent with the Comprehensive Plan in that the 33 residential improvements conform to the size and scale of what is promoted by the 39 Comprehensive Plan's goals and policies for residential areas; 40 c. The proposal is consistent with the intent of the zoning ordinances because while the 41 new improvements will involve more "building footprints and paved surfaces" than 42 the code text strictly allows, the zoning ordinance's intent is to regulate impervious 43 coverage and the proposed impervious coverage is within the regulatory limit; 44 d. The proposal makes reasonable use of the subject property because the improvements 45 would appear and function like a typical residential property while the proper 46 installation and maintenance of a pervious paving system will mitigate excess storm 47 water impacts; 43 e. The property possesses the kind of unique characteristics that justify approval of the 49 requested variance in the substandard parcel has area, which has the effect of the 50 proposed improvements occupying a larger percentage of the property than if the 51 improvements were situated on a parcel of conforming area. Moreover, the proposal 52 is consistent with code requirements likely to be adopted in the near future, although 53 the exact timing of such a zoning amendment is uncertain, and 54 f. Although the proposed residence is larger than the historically small homes in the 55 area, many of those older homes were originally built as cabins and the scale of the 56 proposed development is consistent with that of the newer homes that are being built 57 to replace the older structures, so approval of the variance would not negatively alter 53 the character of the surrounding residential neighborhood. 59 NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, by the Roseville Variance Board, to approve a 60 variance to § 1004.08 of the City Code to allow the proposed excess paved surfaces and building 61 footprints at 365 S Owasso Boulevard, subject to the following conditions: 62 a. The driveway shall utilize materials and installation methods that are determined by 63 the City Engineer to achieve at least 50% perviousness as proposed and reviewed with 64 the variance application; and 65 b. Impervious surface area shall be limited to 25% of the parcel area, and the applicant 66 shall continue to work with Engineering Division staff to complete the Residential 67 Storm Water Permit process or otherwise comply with comparable City regulations in 63 place at the time of construction to install and maintain the pervious pavement. 69 The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Variance 70 Board Member and upon vote being taken thereon, the following voted in favor: , 71 and voted against; 72 WHEREUPON said resolution was declared duly passed and adopted.
