<br />ROSEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> <br />page# 2 <br /> <br />Wednesday, March 1, 1989 <br /> <br />Dahlgren summarized the site location, surrounding lot sizes and <br />the proposed subdivision. Dahlgren pointed out that if the City <br />denied the variance, the property owner could be denied <br />reasonable use of the existing 50 foot lot which could be <br />considered a taking. <br /> <br />Schultz summarized the proposal pointing out that it would be a <br />good proposal for the neighborhood. <br /> <br />Johnson asked if Mr. Schultz would live on the site. <br />replied that he would not. <br /> <br />Schultz <br /> <br />Berry questioned if there was room for a turnaround which would <br />be required because the site is on victoria Avenue. Dahlgren <br />responded that there was room to provide one on the site. <br /> <br />Goedeke asked if a variance would be necessary because the <br />existing driveway appeared to be right on the lot line. Dahlgren <br />replied that 5 foot setback is normally required and if the <br />Planning Commission approved this proposal, they would be giving <br />implicit approval to the variance. <br /> <br />DeBenedet asked if the City would be on firm ground if it denied <br />the variance. Dahlgren responded that the decision would <br />ultimately be subject to a judges opinion but because it would be <br />possible to build a house on a 50 foot lot, it could pose a <br />problem in a variance denial being upheld. <br /> <br />DeBenedet asked if a 40 foot house could be built on a 50 foot <br />lot with 5 foot setbacks. Dahlgren replied yes. <br /> <br />Moeller asked what the dimension of the new property line to the <br />existing house would be. Schul tz answered that no survey had <br />been done but it would be approximately 10 feet. Moeller stated <br />that if it turned out to be less than 10 feet, than the proposal <br />doesn't work. Dahlgren agreed that it would then be a different <br />proposal. <br /> <br />Moeller asked how good were the applicants measurements. Schultz <br />responded that they were based on a stake that he found along <br />victoria. <br /> <br />Goedeke stated that it would be difficult to approve this without <br />a survey and without accurate measurements. <br /> <br />Pat Maglich, 966 Lydia Avenue, asked how many trees would be <br />removed and pointed out that there is an existing drainage <br />problem in the area and that the trees offer some protection from <br />
