Planning File 3452: Request by John Williams for a VARIANCE to Section 1004.01A6 (Maximum Total Surface Area) of the Roseville City Code to allow for the construction of an addition (bedroom) to the rear of existing home at 1965 Chatsworth Street. Chair Duncan explained a conflict of interest and recused himself. Acting Chair Mulder, opened the hearing and requested City Planner Thomas Paschke provide a summary of the project report dated February 5, 2003. Thomas Paschke explained that Section 1004.01 A6 of the Roseville City Code (Maximum Total Surface Area) affords each single family residential property owner a 30% impervious coverage based upon the total lot size. In the case of the Williams property this allowance cannot exceed 3,115 square feet without an approved variance. The Williams home is a 1950 Bungalow situated on a 10,382 square foot lot. The home driveway pavement of 1,184 square feet; and an 80 square foot garden shed. Given these current site conditions the Williams have a current impervious coverage of 3,157 square feet or 30.4%, square footage meets the threshold allowance for 30% coverage. The proposed improvement, constructing a 16'x16' (256 square foot) bedroom and bathroom addition on to the rear of the home, would bring the total impervious coverage of the parcel to 3,413 square feet or 32%. Thomas Paschke explained that, based on the information provided and the findings in Section 5 of the project report, the Community Development Staff recommended approval of a 298 square foot (3%) variance to Section 1 004.01A6 of the Roseville City Code for John Williams to allow the construction of a 256 square foot bedroom addition onto the rear of his home at 1965 Chatsworth Street, subject to the following conditions: a. All existing and proposed building and site improvements shall not exceed a maximum impervious coverage of 3,413 square feet. b. The attached bedroom being limited to a maximum size of 256 square feet as indicated on the site plan. c. The bedroom addition to include a window along the north side of the structure wall and gutters to properly direct roof drainage away from the east property. The addition must match the existing building in color and/or materials. d. The review and approval of a building permit consistent with the approved plans and variance. e. No additional accessory buildings or expansion to the garden shed is allowed. Thomas Paschke explained that the staff recommended approval with five conditions in the staff report dated February 5, 2003. There were no comments from the public and the hearing was closed.
