Ayes: Rhody, Duncan, Olson, Cunningham, Wilke, Traynor Nays: None Motion carried 6-0. b. Planning File 3300: Goodding request for a 10 foot Variance from Section 703.04B1a for property at 3180 West Owasso Boulevard. Chair Rhody opened the hearing and requested Thomas Paschke to provide a verbal summary of the staff report dated June 12, 2001. John Goodding is requesting a 1 O-foot variance from Section 703.04B1 a of the City Code to allow a driveway apron in the public right-of-way to be increased from the required 26-foot maximum width to a width of 36 feet. The proposal would allow Mr. Goodding to retain his driveway. The three findings recommended by the staff included: A. The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under conditions allowed by the official controls: Mr. Zaun currently has a 32-foot wide apron that provides access to the detached garage (directly adjacent to West Owasso Boulevard) and driveway that extends towards the home which provides access and parking. Requiring an apron modification consistent with the City Code (26 feet in width) would prevenUcritically limit access to the home and off-street parking. B. The plight of the land owner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the land owner: The City's Pavement Management Program and the reconstruction of West Owasso Boulevard has required Mr. Zaun to apply for a variance if he wants the existing (or similar) driveway apron width to remain. Mr. Zaun's driveway improvements were constructed prior to the City having a maximum apron width requirement for the public right-of-way. C. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality: The proposed six-foot variance to the required apron width in a public right-of-way will not alter the essential character or the locality, nor adversely affect the public health, safety, or general welfare, of the city or adjacent properties. The staff recommended approval of the request. Member Olson asked if a vehicle can be parked in front of the existing garage, perpendicular to the street. Member Wilke asked for details of the replacement materials (similar to present materials). Mr. Goodding had no further comment; Chair Rhody closed the hearing. Member Wilke asked about details of the hydrant location. Motion: Member Rhody moved, seconded by Member Traynor, to recommend approval of the request by John Goodding for a 10 foot variance to Section 703.04B1 a of the Roseville City Code to allow an increase in the required driveway apron with in a public right-of-way from 26 feet to 36 feet for property located at 3180 West Owasso Boulevard, based on the findings in Section 3 of the project report dated June 12, 2001. Ayes: Rhody, Traynor, Olson, Cunningham, Wilke, Duncan Nays: None Motion carried 6-0.
