Variance Board Meeting Minutes – Wednesday, April 04, 2007 Page 3 Discussion included the procedure for mitigating the storm water drainage with the City Engineer and at what stage the remedies were approved by staff during the Building Permit process and a Certificate of Occupancy was issued. Further discussion included mitigation remedies based on soils and slope of the property; impacts to adjacent properties; mitigation measures determined by looking at the increment of impervious surface above what’s allowed; dimensions of the lot used to determine total lot area and impervious coverage ratios; and the process the applicant would need to follow prior to any additional pervious coverage, other than a patio that would not require a permit, and applicable variance requirements. The applicants, Michelle and Christopher Grimes, were present. Discussion among the applicants, Commissioners and staff included continuation of the hip roof to the south; and ensuring that the applicant understood the potential mitigation requirement of a rain garden; and the applicant’s assurances that they had reviewed options with their contractor, and were supportive of a rain garden as an aesthetic feature in the yard. Public Comment No one appeared for or against. Chair Boerigter closed the Public Hearing. MOTION Member Doherty moved, seconded by Member Wozniak to adopt Variance Board Resolution No. 56 entitled, “A Resolution APPROVING a Variance to §1004 (Residential District) of the Roseville City Code for Michelle Grimes, 1741 Stanbridge Avenue (PF 07-016);” for a requested residential addition, based on the comments and findings of Section 5 and the conditions of Section 6 of the project report dated April 4, 2007; specifying that the size of the proposed addition must not exceed that illustrated in the plans reviewed with the application, and total impervious surface area on the property shall not exceed 35% of the lot area; and application of on-site mitigation of storm water as outlined in the staff report. Ayes: 3 Nays: 0 Motion carried. Acting Chair Boerigter advised the applicant of the appeal process timeframe. Miscellaneous Information Commissioner Doherty requested, and Commissioner Wozniak concurred, that staff provide photos of variance applications as part of the review materials, rather than just relying on aerials. Discussion among Commissioners and staff was held regarding storm water mitigation considerations and requirements for residential versus commercial properties and ratios calculated for accommodation on-site or off-site, in addition to impacts to adjacent neighbors and applicable conditions that may be applied in specific cases based on the health, safety and general welfare criteria.
