Variance Board Meeting Minutes – Wednesday, June 06, 2007 Page 2 Discussion included clarifying when the neighbor’s basketball court, fencing and netting had been installed (summer of 2006); impervious surface excesses of the basketball court defined as “playground equipment,” with no permit necessary; drainage concerns; and installation of a curb along adjoining property lines to correct runoff concerns. It was the consensus of the Variance Board members that staff provide opportunity for review by the Planning Commission in the future for permitting requirements relative to impervious surface restrictions and calculations. Acting Chair Boerigter closed the Public Hearing, with no one appearing for or against. Commissioner Doherty spoke in support of a fence, even though not a proponent of tall fences, if for no other reason that aesthetics and visual impacts to the Hornbaker’s side yard with the adjoining fence and netting. The applicant, Mrs. Hornbaker, noted that the basketball hoop was located on the side of the court, rather than the end of the court, thus exasperating the problem of balls coming over the net into their yard. Acting Chair Boerigter spoke in support of the application as well, opining that it was unfortunate that the adjacent property owner hadn’t attempted to resolve the situation on their own. Commissioner Martinson concurred with Commissioners Doherty and Boerigter. MOTION Member Doherty moved, seconded by Member Boerigter to adopt Variance Board Resolution No. 60 entitled, “A Resolution APPROVING VARIANCES to Section 1012 (General Requirements) of the Roseville City Code for Ronald and Susan Hornbaker, 2994 Aldine Street (PF 07-025); allowing for a 1.5-foot VARIANCE TO Section 1012.02B(3) Side Yard Encroachments) and a 4-foot VARIANCE to Section 1012.02B(2) (Front Yard Encroachments), based on the comments and findings outlined in Section 5, and detailed conditions of Section 6 of the staff report dated June 6, 2007.
