Nays: 0 4. Communications from the Public: None. 5. Consent Agenda: (The Planning Commission may decide upon the issues listed in the Consent Agenda with one motion, without further discussion.) None. Chair Traynor suggested moving item 7b to the front of the public hearing section so that the applicant and others present would not have to wait until after the SuperAmerica hearing. The Commission agreed. 7b. Planning File 3536: Request by Ms. Kara Rose, 998 Brooks Avenue, for a Variance to Section 1004.02D4 of the Roseville City Code to allow the construction of a deck and porch into the required 30 foot setback. Chair Traynor opened the hearing and requested the City Planner present the verbal summary of the staff report dated January 7,2004. Thomas Paschke, City Planner, explained that the applicant seeks approval of an 11 foot Variance to Section 1004.02D4 (Corner Lot Setback) of the Roseville City Code to allow the construction of a 14 foot deep deck and porch, 19 feet from the west (Aglen Street) property line. The Rose home was constructed in 1956 and lies on a parcel that averages 93.5 feet by 146.7 feet or 13,717 sq. ft. in size. The parcel has an impervious coverage allowance of 4,115 sq. ft. of which 2,608 sq. ft. is being utilized (house foundation & attached garage size of 2,128 sq. ft and existing driveway of 480 sq. ft). He explained the site slopes and the preservation of existing trees. Mr. Paschke further indicated that based on the information provided and the findings in Section 5 of this project report, the Community Development Staff recommends approval of an 11 foot Variance to Section 1004.02D4 (side yard adjacent a street) of the Roseville City Code for Kara Rose to allow the construction of a 14 foot by 14 foot porch and 14 foot by 10 foot on to the west side of the principal structure to within 19 feet of the property line at 998 Brooks Avenue, subject to the following conditions (in project report dated January 7, 2004): a. The porch and deck being limited to a depth of 14 feet (addition from principal structure towards property line adjacent Aglen Street) or an 11 foot encroachment into the required 30 foot setback. b. The parcel being limited to an impervious coverage of 4,115 sq. ft. c. Gutters installed along the eves of the porch to direct roof drainage to the west or north yard areas. d. The deck must remain an open-air deck - in the future no enclosure of this deck as a screen porch or expanded living area to the principal structure will be permitted. e. The review and approval of a building permit must be consistent with the approved plans and variance. 1. A property survey including property lines, existing features and the proposal may be required by the Building Official if adequate measurements cannot be found to establish the limits of the 11 foot encroachment. Chair Traynor asked if neighbor concerns had been expressed. Thomas Paschke explained one neighbor was concerned about the view of Bennett Lake and that he provided the gentleman with a copy of the project report. Kara Rose, 998 Brooks Avenue noted that no impervious surface will be constructed under the porch. Member Bakeman asked for details of lower doorways. Chair Traynor closed the hearing as there were no public comments. Motion: Member Peper moved, seconded by Member Ipsen, to recommend approval of an 11 foot Variance to Section 1004.02D4 (side yard adjacent a street) of the Roseville City Code to allow the construction of a 14 foot by 14 foot porch and 14 foot by 10 foot deck on to the west side of the principal structure to be placed 19 feet from the property line for Kara Rose, 998 Brooks Avenue, based on the findings of Section 5 and conditions of Section 6 of the project report dated January 7, 2004.
