Placing the 16 foot dining room addition onto the home creates an encroachment of 6 feet. The existing coverage (2,846 square feet) has been determined to be a legal pre-existing, non-conforming condition as it existed prior to the Code amendment in 1999. Based on the information provided and the findings in Section 5 of the project report, staff recommends approval of a 6 foot rear yard variance to Section 1 004.02D5 and a 4% impervious coverage variance (195 sq. ft.) to Section 1004.01 A6 of the Roseville City Code for John & Martha Seal, subject to the following conditions: a. All building and site improvements shall not exceed 3,054 square feet of impervious area. b. Verification by the property owner on a site plan of the exact distance the existing stricture lies from the rear property line. c. The dining room addition being limited to a 16 foot extension of the existing principal structure, as indicated on the plans, which addition would encroach 6 feet into the required 30 foot rear yard setback. d. The review and approval of a building permit consistent with the approved plans and variance. e. The installation of roof gutters along the southern side to properly direct roof drainage away from the adjacent property. Martha Seal, 3110 Evelyn Street, agreed with the project report findings and commended the City Planner for work done. Member Mulder asked how many lots along Evelyn are of this size and of this nature with impervious surface coverage. Thomas Paschke indicated many of the lots were in the same situation as the Seal property since the 1999 Code amendment. Member Stone asked for clarification of the size of the variance being requested for lot coverage (3%, plus the 1 % variance being requested, totaling 4%). Patrick C. Hollister, 1950 County Road D West, indicated his support for the two variances and felt this was an investment in the neighborhood (he complemented Commission and staff with the card notification process and assistance given to him by Thomas Paschke in clarifying the request). There being no further comments, Chair Duncan closed the hearing. Motion: Member Mulder moved, seconded by Member Peper, to support the request for the two variances and recommend approval of a six foot rear yard variance to Section 1004.02D5 and a 4% impervious coverage variance (339 square feet) to Section 1 004.01A6 of the Roseville City Code to allow the addition of a dining room for John & Martha Seal, 3110 Evelyn Street, based on the findings in Section 5 and conditions of Section 6 (as indicated above) of the project report dated November 6, 2002. Ayes: 7 Nays: 0 Motion carried. Member Mulder reminded the applicant that it would not be possible to put up any additional storage buildings on this property. b. Planning File 3436: A request by Thomas Metz for a Variance to Section 1009.03M (Ground Signs - Setback) to allow the installation of a replacement sign for the Midland Grove Condominium complex located north of County Road B. Chair Duncan opened the hearing and requested City Planner Thomas Paschke provide a summary of the project report dated November 6, 2002. Thomas Paschke advised that Tom Metz (Gaughan Companies) applied for a 15 foot variance to Section 1 009.03M of the Roseville City Code to allow the installation of a 4' by 12' ground mounted sign replacing a 4' by 16' existing sign at the property line. This proposal is an encroachment of 15 feet into the required 15 foot setback. The sign represents the identification of Midland Grove Condominiums (MGC), a 174 unit complex that is located north of County Road B; directly east of Cleveland Road; and southeast of the on ramp to Trunk Highway 36. Midland Grove Condo's is tucked back from the main thoroughfare and any sign placed on the premises faces
