February 24, 1989 City of Roseville Minor Variance Committee Dear Sirs: I am requesting a minor variance to have the driveway on the west side of my property reconstructed in the same location when they reconstruct Ruggles Street this summer. This driveway is presently not within code because' it does not extend at least 20 feet onto my property. My main driveway is . located on the east side of my property and s a single car driveway. I believe i`. would cause me a. hardship if this second driveway could not be reconstructed in approximatly the same location its in now because of the following reasons: 1) To make this driveway conform to Rosevilles code, I would have to extended the driveway approximatly IS feet into my property. To accomplish this, I would have to remove a very atractive and valuable 10 trunk (6" to 10" Dia. trunks) mature Birch tree clump and a mature 30 foot high Pine tree. 2) If I have to abandon this driveway and only have the single width main driveway to use for my two vehicles, I will have to park one vehicle behind the other. In addition to moving vehicles because one is blocking the one used, there is the problem of: having the last one in the driveway not start while having the one that's blo�:ked start. 3) To relocate this second driveway to a location adjacent to my main driveway on the East side of my property is not desireable because it would be located on top ,-if the natural gas service line that runs to my house. NSP has dug holes on this line two or three times in the last couple of years. A second car parked in a driveway adjacent to the main driveway would interfere with people walking on the entrance sidewalk to my house (mailman uses it every day).
