<br />approval of a 2 foot 6 inch fence height variance to Section 1 012.02B3 of the Roseville City Code to allow
<br />construction of a 9 foot high fence at 303 S. Owasso Boulevard, subject to the following conditions:
<br />
<br />a. The extended fence is a maximum of roughly 828 feet in length and 9 feet in height to exclude deer and protect
<br />landscaping as illustrated in site plans.
<br />b. The review and approval of a building permit consistent with the approved plans and variance.
<br />c. The fencing material used for the proposed fence must be installed within the property owner's parcel in
<br />accordance to Section 1012.02C1 (Location).
<br />
<br />Member Mulder asked if neighbors had commented. (Thomas described the calls received).
<br />
<br />Mr. Anderson said in 1995 when Owasso Hills began, the deer shifted to Ladyslipper Park. He has lost many
<br />hybridized, specialized plants to the deer. He said there were three styles of fence including a four board fence, a
<br />screen fence, and a mesh fence. He explained the new fence proposal. He said he talked to neighbors and MN
<br />DNR regarding catching the deer. A deer hunt would involve many cities in the area. He can find no other method
<br />to prevent damage.
<br />
<br />Marliss Ustad, 3058 Farmington Ct., adjacent neighbor, said there are so many deer in the area it has become
<br />difficult to keep the deer away. The fence will divert deer and decrease property value of adjacent homes. The wire
<br />fence would go on top of the wood fence.
<br />
<br />Member Traynor asked if the fence could be screened or beautified. Mr. Anderson said that if the deer problem can
<br />be solved or removed, he would take the fence down.
<br />Member Ipsen asked where the fence is current located (around the entire yard).
<br />
<br />There being no further public comment, Chair Duncan closed the hearing.
<br />
<br />Motion: Member Peper moved, second by Member Bakeman, to recommend
<br />approval of a fence height Variance to Section 1 012.02B3 (Side or Rear Yard Only) of the Roseville City
<br />Code, based on the findings of Section 5 and conditions of Section 6 of the project report dated September
<br />3, 2003.

<br />c. Planning File 3518: Request by Michael Davis, 2730 Griggs Street, for a Conditional Use Permit in
<br />accordance with Section 1004.01A4 and a Variance to Section 1004.01A3 Detached Accessory Building
<br />Size) and Section 1 004.01A6 (Maximum Total Surface Area) of the Roseville City Code to allow the
<br />construction of a 30 foot by 34 foot (1,020 sq. ft.) detached accessory building.
<br />
<br />Chairman Duncan opened the hearing and requested City Planning Thomas Paschke to present verbal summary
<br />of the staff report dated September 3, 2003.
<br />
<br />City Planner Paschke explained that Michael Davis, 2730 Griggs Street, seeks approval of a Conditional Use
<br />Permit and a Variance to Section 1 004.01A3 (Detached Accessory Building Size) of the Roseville City Code to
<br />allow the construction of a 1,020 sq. ft. detached accessory building in the rear yard.
<br />
<br />Michael Davis has submitted a proposal to construct a detached accessory building on his lot. The structure, a 30
<br />foot by 34 foot (1,020 sq. ft.) detached garage would be located in the general location of the existing detached
<br />garage on the premises. The City Code limits detached accessory buildings to a maximum size of 1 ,008 sq. ft. and
<br />impervious coverage to 30% of the lot area. In this case, the proposed 1,020 sq. ft. detached accessory building is
<br />12 sq. ft. more than allowed by the Code with a Conditional Use Permit, and the total impervious surface coverage
<br />for the parcel upon completion of the proposed improvements is estimated at 3,534 sq. ft. or 530 sq. ft. above the
<br />parcels allotment.
<br />
<br />The Davis home was constructed in 1954 and lies on a 10,013 square foot (75 feet by 133.5 feet) lot. The lot has
<br />an impervious coverage allowance of 3,004 sq. ft. and a rear yard allowance of 900 sq. ft. The parcel currently
<br />includes a house foundation size of 1 ,091 sq. ft.; an existing detached accessory building side of 572 sq. ft.;
<br />existing driveway of 1 ,423 sq. ft.; all totaling 3,086 sq. ft. or 82 sq. ft. more that the City Code allows for the Davis
<br />parcel. The Davis parcel is 10,013 square feet in size, affording 3,002 square feet of impervious coverage. Built
<br />before the 30% surface coverage requirement, the existing improvements (principal structure - 1,091 sq. ft.,
<br />driveway - 1,423 sq. ft., detached garage 572 sq. ft.) exceed the requirement of the Code by 82 square fee
<br />(currently 31 %).
<br />Mr. Paschke reviewed the development proposal with regard to the criteria in Section 1013.01.0 (Conditional Use
<br />Permit) of the Roseville Zoning Ordinance and has concluded the proposal meets these criteria. Specifically, a
<br />detached accessory building is a permitted use in an R-1 District. The proposed detached garage will not create
