PLANNING REPORT 0 DATE: 6 June 1984 CASE NUMBER: 1495-84 APPLICANT: Kelly McGurran LOCATION: West of Marion Street, Fourth Lot South of County Road C-2 (2849 Marion Street) ACTION REQUESTED: Approval of Side Yard Variance PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 1. Normally, approval of a side yard variance for a single family dwelling as proposed by this applicant is handled under the "Minor Variance" procedure in the City of Roseville. This procedure requires a written approval of the effected property owners, unanimous consent of the three ;person Minor Variance Board (three appointed City officials), and final approval of the City Council. Since this procedure was inaugurated, it has been capable of handling all minor variance proposals involving single family residences except two (one of which is this application). 2.' In the case of a side yard variance as is proposed here, one of the obviously affected property r-mers is the contiguous neighbor. In this case, that owner, at 2841 Marion, has refused to consent to the proposed variance. The applicant in this case, has a 13 foot, 5 inch wide attached garage. He proposes to expand it 7 feet, 7 inches in width to produce a 21 foot garage. This results in the garage being 8 feet, 3 inches from the side property line, whereas in this part of the City, 1Q feet is required. Thus, the variance is 1 foot, 9 inches. Ironically, most variances applied for involve intrusions into the side yard to a greater extent than that proposed here. The applicant has determined that in order to provide a double garage, an absolute minimum of 21 feet is required. Most double garages, if there is adequate room are constructed 24 feet wide. Many double garages are at 22 feet. The hardship here is that the house exists in its present location and in order to provide for an adequate double garage that works, 21 feet is a reasonable need. 3. In many parts of the City, where the land was platted prior to March of 1959, the required side yard setback is 5 feet. This policy has been followed in the City of Roseville since 1959 inasmuch as prior to that date, the required side yard setback (required side yard) 4as 5 feet. 4. Attached is a statement from the applicant and copies of drawings he has submitted. You will note that the applicant mentioned that the overhang can be 3 feet from the property line. This is not quite correct. Inasmuch as Roseville Ordinances allow an overhang to exist beyond the required setback line a maximum of three feet. Thus, with a 10 foot setback required, an overhang can be within 7 feet of the side lot line.
