Public Hearings 15 a. PLANNING FILE 15-021 16 Request by Zawadski Homes, Inc., in conjunction with property owner Adele 17 Kaufman, for a VARIANCE to Roseville City Code, Section 1103.06.H (Lot 18 Standards) and Section 1017.14.B ((Water Management Overlay District Lot 19 Standards) to allow the three lots of record to be platted into one lot of 20 substandard width with the remainder to be combined with the adjacent property 21 (PF15-021), currently addressed at 365 and 375 S Owasso Boulevard 22 Chair Murphy opened the Public Hearing for Planning File 15-021 at 5:34 p.m. 23 City Planner Thomas Paschke briefly reviewed the applicant’s request as detailed in the 24 staff report and related attachments dated November 4, 2015; and staff recommendation 25 in support of approval of the variance request as conditioned. 26 Member Gitzen questioned the make-up of the current and proposed parcels based on 27 the current Property Identification Number (PIN) at Ramsey County, with Mr. Paschke 28 advising that while under a single PIN combined for tax purposes, the lots had not been 29 legally configured into one lot, with the underlying three lots still of record and available 30 for development. 31 At the request of Member Gitzen, Mr. Paschke advised that in his research of a history of 32 the lot split off (Lot 8), he had found no record of the split and did not recall it during his 33 16 plus year tenure at Roseville, making him suspect it occurred sometime in the 1960’s 34 or at least prior to 1975 when the shoreland ordinance came into effect in Roseville. 35 At the request of Member Gitzen, Mr. Paschke stated that in reality, the two remaining 36 lots would most likely develop into one developable property (Parcel B combined with the 37 existing property) and the remaining parcel combined with another developable parcel 38 (Parcel A) for a new single-family home. 39 At the request of Member Gitzen, Mr. Paschke advised that, depending on the design 40 and development would determine if a variance would be required.
