Regular Variance Board Meeting Minutes – Wednesday, April 6, 2016 Page 2 and required ratio for the cooperative building itself was to utilize both halves of the site. Mr. 48 Hall advised that the only other solution would be to push the building well northern the site 49 and closer to Woodhill Drive, eliminating a considerable portion of the building and ultimately 50 making the project unfeasible. 51 2) Mr. Hall further reported that they were utilizing two sides of the building, with the majority of 52 traffic coming off Victoria Street and utilizing the main entrance into the building. However, for 53 the two north wings of the proposed building, Mr. Hall advised that this secondary access 54 point for visitors or second vehicles would better serve residents without asking them to walk 55 a considerable distance. Mr. Hall advised that the intent was to create a buffer with 56 landscaping and pond to minimize visual aesthetics. 57 Member Boguszewski clarified, as noted in the applicant’s Statement of Intent, that the 58 agreement with the City of Roseville to provide parking for the ballfields necessitated having this 59 number of stalls on the north and south sides of the lots; but without that shared parking 60 requirement, the number of surface stalls could easily be reduced. 61 Member Boguszewski noted that without granting the variance, placement of the building further 62 south would be counter to the City’s intent to avoid massing so close to the street in a residential 63 area. Member Boguszewski opined that this justified the variance. 64 At the request of Vice Chair Daire, Mr. Hall confirmed that the total number of stalls totaled 113 65 on the site. Mr. Hall advised that with the majority of their projects, they attempted to provide 50% 66 additional surface stalls per unit, with on underground parking stall available for each unit. 67 Vice Chair Daire closed the Public Hearing at 5:39 p.m.; no one spoke for or against. 68 MOTION 69 Member Boguszewski moved, seconded by Member Gitzen to approve VB Resolution No. 70 120 (Attachment D) entitled, “A Resolution Approving VARIANCES to Roseville City Code, 71 Sections 1004.06H (Surface Parking), at 934 Woodhill Drive for United Properties (PF16- 72 009);” allowing United Properties to construct the front parking lot as proposed in the 73 plans submitted for the Applewood Pointe of Roseville at Central Park, subject to 74 comments, findings and conditions as outlined in the staff report dated April 6, 2016. 75 Ayes: 3 76 Nays: 0 77 Motion carried. 78 5.
