Page 2 of 2 3. The proposal is in harmony with the purposes and intent of the zoning ordinance. The proposal is 36 consistent with the intent of the zoning ordinances because the proposed combination of zero-foot 37 and 10-foot side yard setbacks maintains a separation between structures equivalent to the sum of the 38 two required five-foot setbacks. 39 4. The proposal puts the subject property to use in a reasonable manner. The proposal makes 40 reasonable use of the subject property because it conforms to the zoning code in all respects except 41 for this reorganization of side yard setback distances. 42 5. There are unique circumstances to the property which were not created by the landowner. Although 43 the subject property is not unique, the pertinent zoning requirement is the unique circumstance 44 driving this variance request. Specifically, the standard minimum setbacks for lots within a medium-45 density residential development fails to account for the possible variations of such development. For 46 example, the lot lines in some townhome developments may coincide entirely with the dwellings’ 47 foundations, technically presenting zero-foot setbacks on all sides of the lots even though the 48 distance between structures may well exceed the sum of the minimum setbacks. 49 6. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. Because the proposed 50 residential density is well within the permitted limit and the homes will be separated by a distance 51 that conforms to the standard setbacks, the variance, if approved, would not negatively alter the 52 character of the locality. 53 NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, by the Roseville City Council, to approve the 54 proposed requested variances on Lots 2-16 and Lots 18-20 of The Enclave at McCarrons Lake, based on 55 the public record and City Council deliberation, with the following conditions: 56 a. The side yards opposite a zero side yard setback shall have setbacks at least 10 feet in width. 57 b. The homeowners’ association shall prohibit new structures and additions to the principal 58 structures that reduce such a side yard setback to less than 10 feet. 59 c. For all zero-setback homes, the developer shall record easements on the abutting lots providing 60 homeowners access to those lots to allow proper maintenance of their homes. 61 WHEREUPON said resolution was declared duly passed and adopted. 62 RCA Attachment F Page 6 of 8
