Member Mulder asked if there was discussion to narrow the driveway. If the driveway had to be redone, a permit would be required. Mr. Lindholm said the hardship is that he cannot park his current vehicles in the tuck-under garage. Member Peper asked for additional comments from adjoining neighbors (verbal support only). Member Mulder asked why the peak was oriented parallel to the north property line (same as three other neighbors). Member Cunningham asked for clarification on the amount of pavement. There being no further discussion Chair Duncan closed the hearing. Motion: Member Cunningham moved, seconded by Member Bakeman to recommend approval of a 533 square foot (5%) variance to Section 1004.01A6 of the Roseville City Code for Robert Lindholm, 2959 Matilda Street, to allow total impervious surface coverage on the parcel to be 3,827 sq. ft., subject to the findings of Section 5 and conditions of Section 6 of the project report dated June 5, 2002. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 Motion carried. e. Planning File 3400: Request by Robert Wilson for a variance to Section 1004.04D5 (Minimum Yard Requirements - Front Yard Setback) to allow the replacement of an existing carport and deck with an attached garage with living area above for property at 3107 West Owasso Boulevard. Chairman Duncan opened the hearing and requested City Planner Thomas Paschke provide a summary of the project report dated June 5, 2002. Robert Wilson has submitted an application for a 13 foot variance to Section 1004.02D5 (Yard Requirements - Front yard Setback) to allow the replacement of an existing carport with an attached two stall garage and living space (above) and a variance to Section 602.02 (Parking on Boulevard Prohibited) at 3107 West Owasso Boulevard. Robert Wilson currently has a carport that lies approximately 23 feet from the front property line. This location (non- conforming to Code) is not uncommon for the homes and detached accessory buildings that lie along this stretch of Owasso Boulevard. In April, 2002, Mr. Wilson applied for a building permit to replace their carport with a two stall ground level attached garage and a second story living space that would lie 17 feet from the front property line or a 13 foot encroachment into the required front yard setback. Thomas Paschke provided letters and comments to the Chair for the record. He recommended the 13-foot variance from Section 602. Chair Duncan read the Joseph Osterbauer, 3117 W. Owasso, opposition letter and J.R. Tate, 3125 W. Owasso, letter. Member Cunningham asked for clarification of the right-of-way and the size of the garage. Bob Matson, Matson Contracting, representing the owner, clarified that the footprint would be very similar to the existing carport. He noted that Mr. Wilson is also trying to reduce the driveway slope. Deb Bloom, Assistant Public Works Director, noted the steep slope, and this is a concern and can be corrected. Her only concern was obstruction of the pathway and roadway and those have been resolved. Member Cunningham asked if the house roofline would change? (No). Chair Duncan closed the hearing since there were no further comments. Member Mulder stated the challenge is the setback; the issue is that more space which could be added on the rear (west) side of the house rather than east side.
