Variance Board Meeting Minutes – Wednesday, December 06, 2006 Page 2 Mr. Lloyd advised that the required front yard setback on the property is thirty-three feet (33’), pursuant to City Code; and noted that the grade at the back of the principal structure appears to be approximately eight feet (8’) higher than the grade at the street; and with the location of the structure on the property, expansion of the garage toward the rear or side was not feasible to increase the existing garage size. The applicant intends that the garage addition would be constructed of materials to match the existing home, including a ‘hipped” roof like that of the main structure. Patricia Maylone, Applicant Discussion was held verifying the physical location of the garage front setback, using street view photographs. Commissioner Doherty questioned whether the new construction would alleviate the need for the existing accessory structure in the back yard. Ms. Maylone advised that most of the storage items could be relocated to the new garage. Commissioner Doherty suggested that an additional condition be applied to the Variance, given the age and condition of the existing accessory structure, for removal of the existing shed once the new garage is constructed. Commissioner Doherty questioned if it was Ms. Maylone’s intent to add pavement up to the end of the garage. Ms. Maylone advised that she was planning on having concrete installed up to the garage, including a walkway alongside the driveway. Commissioner Boerigter questioned the calculations on impervious surface changes. Mr. Lloyd advised that, based on site conditions and property line delineations, indications were that there was minimal change in impervious surface and no concern of exceeding the maximum allowable impervious coverage. Richard Sather, 691 Belmont Lane (next door neighbor) Mr. Sather, expressing concern with his visibility to the pond, clarified total height and building elevations for the new construction. Mr. Lloyd advised that height would be per City Code, with a hipped roof, similar to the existing structure. No one else appeared for or against the project at the hearing. Chair Bakeman closed the Public Hearing. Commissioners Doherty and Boerigter expressed their support for the variance request. MOTION Member Doherty moved, seconded by Member Boerigter to adopt Variance Board Resolution No. 49 entitled, “A Resolution Approving a Variance to §1004 of the Roseville City Code for Patricia Maylone, 699 Belmont Lane (PF 3798);” allowing for the construction of an attached garage at 699 Belmont Lane in a location eleven feet (11’) from the front property line, which is 18.7 feet closer to the property line than Code permits; based on the comments and findings of Section 5 and the conditions of Section 6 of the project report dated December 6, 2006; amended to include a condition that the existing accessory structure (storage shed) be removed upon completion of the construction of the new garage.
