Chair Traynor opened the hearing and requested Dennis Welsch to provide a verbal summary of the project report dated September 7, 2005. Dennis Welsch advised that Rick Boschee has filed an application requesting creation of a flag lot similar to other flag lots along Lakeview Avenue. In order to create a “flag” shaped lot, he proposes a narrow (15 foot) driveway access point from Lakeview and a driveway setback of 2.5 feet along the thin portion of the flag lot. In addition, the 15 feet of frontage requires a 70 foot variance to the normal frontage of 85 feet. The parcel is 36,155 square feet (0.83 acres) divided into two parcels; one (with 12,000 s.f. of land) and including the existing home and a new garage (west parcel) and the second (with 24,000 s.f. of land) for a new home (east parcel) to be occupied by the family. The Boschee parcel has an existing width of 100 feet, a depth of approximately 361 feet, and a size of 36,155 square feet (0.83 acres) Source: County Records. The proposed parcels would have street frontages of 85 feet for the existing homestead and 15 feet for the new parcel; a depth of 150 feet for the existing homestead “A” and a varying depth of 215 feet for the new parcel “B”. Parcel “A” (the existing home parcel) would have an area of 12,750 s.f. for the existing homestead and 23,750 s.f. for new parcel “B”.

Parcel “A”, created for the existing homestead, would provide ample setback from side (10 feet on the north) and rear yard 50+ feet on east). New parcel “B” creates a “flag lot” that is 15 feet in width at the street, a deficiency of 70 feet from the 85 foot minimum width requirement. However, the new parcel depth and square footage exceed the requirements of the Roseville City Code. In addition, the proposed house would be setback 15 feet at minimum from the north side property line. The new house would be setback from the east the average of the house to the north and the house to the south. Based on the information provided and the findings in Section 5 of this project report, the Community Development staff recommended approval of the request by Rick Boschee for a 70 foot variance to Section 1004.016 and a 2.5 foot driveway variance from 1004.016 of the Roseville City Code and approval of a Minor Subdivision of 2808 Lakeview Avenue, subject to the following conditions: a.Minor Subdivision sizes for the two parcels from the large existing parcel at 2808 Lakeview Avenue, should meet minimum requirements including: http://www.ci.roseville.mn.us/council/planning/minutes/2005/pm050907.htm12/27/2005
