supportive. He explained the requested corner setback and the driveway setback. The structure was constructed in 1955 before the adoption of the City Code. There is an identified hardship, not created by the owner; an accessibility issue within the narrow garage; the storage space is not adequate. Staff recommended a variance to allow a garage expansion of five feet toward (east) Fairview Avenue, with little impact on health, safety and welfare. Member Olson asked if there was public comment (one positive response). She asked for details of the traffic and right-of-ways. Deb Bloom explained sight lines, impacts on future right-of-way, safety, pathway construction on Fairview Avenue and trees. Chair Rhody asked Thomas Paschke to explain what options are available for a two-car garage. Thomas Paschke suggested using the Housing Resource Center for further information on options. Member Duncan asked if Lundells had agreed to the five-foot setback (yes). No further public comment was offered; Chair Rhody closed the public hearing. Member Olson suggested that the five-foot doesn't really provide much benefit. Member Cunningham asked if there would be a rear yard setback issue (no). Member Duncan asked for clarification on the music room setback (30 feet). Member Olson asked for details on the lot coverage (less than 30% requirement). Motion: Member Rhody moved, second by Member Cunningham to offer Resolution No.3288 recommending approval with modifications, based on findings as stated in the project report dated February 14, 2001 for the request by Brad and Randi Lundell, 1828 Ryan Avenue, for the following variances: A. A 20 foot variance from Sections 1004.02D4 (Dwelling Dimensions and Appearances and Height, Frontage, Yard, and Lot area Requirements in R-1 Districts) for the pre-existing non-conforming principal structure allowing future structural improvements to a line 10 feet from the Fairview Avenue (east) property line near Fairview Avenue; and B. A 25 foot variance from Section 1004.02D4 (Dwelling Dimensions and Appearances and Height, Frontage, Yard, and Lot area Requirements in R-1 Districts) allowing a five foot addition onto the pre-existing non- conforming side wall of the attached garage bringing the structure to a line five feet from the east property line near Fairview Avenue; and C. A 23 foot variance from Section 703.04B4 (driveway setback from street right-of-way) allowing the pre- existing non-conforming driveway to remain in its current location, seven feet from the east property line, near Fairview Avenue. Said recommended approvals shall have the following conditions: 1. The overall dimension of the attached garage shall be limited to a maximum width of 17 feet or an eastward addition of five feet in garage width. 2. The proposed garage addition shall be set back a minimum of five feet from the east (Fairview corner street side) property line. 3. Any addition to the home or garage (southerly direction) shall not be located closer than pre-existing setback of 10 feet from the east property. 4. All roof drainage created by the addition and existing attached garage must be collected in gutters and channeled to the natural drainage way for the applicant's property (east). Ayes: 5, Rhody, Olson, Duncan, Cunningham, Mulder Nays: 0 Motion carried. This request will be forwarded to the Roseville City Council for action on March 12, 2001. Member Mulder asked for clarification as to how any city action may be considered differently for those hardships created by previous owners. New owners inherit the problem when they buy the house. The chimney issue should
