encompasses approximately 5.2 acres, is zoned R-1 , Single Family Residential, and the Comprehensive Plan identifies the property as Low Density Residential. Advent Lutheran Church desires to tear down their existing 308 square foot shed constructed in 1954 and replace it with a 30-foot by 40-foot (1,200 square feet) accessory structure. The new structure would better serve the Church and its auxiliary uses storage space needs. Staff recommended approval of the variance and the conditional use permit with conditions. Chair Mulder asked that a CUP condition be added to review the fire and building code compliance with the school on the premises. Pastor Tom Bassich agreed with the Chair regarding fire and building code and will also install windows as per the staff recommendations. Member Wilke asked if there was a driveway needed (there are existing driveways and parking). Chair Mulder asked for details regarding the requirement for windows. Windows may create a safety issue. There being no further comment, Vice Chair Jim Mulder closed the public hearing.

(c) Planning File 3341: A request by Clinton Freeman, 1296 Woodhill Drive, for a variance to Section 1 012.02B2 of the Roseville City Code for allowance of a fence in a front yard greater than four feet. Chair Jim Mulder opened the hearing and requested Dennis Welsch to provide a verbal summary of the project report dated September 12, 2001. Dennis Welsch explained that Mr. Freeman owns the home located at 1296 Woodhill Drive. The property is zoned R-1, Single Family Residential District with a Comprehensive Plan Designation of LR, Low Density Residential. The Freeman property is surrounded by residential homes on the north, south, east, and west. To the southeast lies Howard Johnson Park. The request includes a variance from Section 1 012.02B2 of the Roseville Zoning Ordinance to increase the height of a fence in a front yard to six feet. The Freeman lot is a corner lot with frontage along Woodhill Drive and Huron Street. The Freeman home is addressed off of Woodhill Drive, which under City Code is a side yard. The front yard, as prescribed by the City Code, is that which fronts along Huron Street. In the case of the Freeman's the true front yard is used as a side yard. The Freemans desire privacy and sound screen for their home and would like to construct a six-foot tall fence from their south property line to the home. The fence would be set back approximately nine feet from the front property line adjacent to Huron Street. Based on the comments and findings outlined in Section 3 and 4 of the project report, staff recommended approval of the request for a two foot height variance to Section 1 012.02B2 of the City Code, to allow the construction of a six foot tall fence in a portion of the front yard of property located at 1296 Woodhill Drive.
