Ayes: 3 Nays: 0 Motion carried. Chair Boerigter advised the applicant of the appeal process timeframe. b. PLANNING FILE 07-031 Request by Thomas Gross, 2613 Fry Street, for a VARIANCE to Roseville City Code, §1004 (Residential Districts) to allow a residential addition that would create more impervious coverage on the property than the City Code allows. Chair Boerigter opened the Public Hearing for Planning File 07-031. Associate Planner Bryan Lloyd reviewed the request to allow construction of a residential addition, with the proposed addition encroaching two feet (2’) into the required side yard setback and increasing impervious surface area on the lot by approximately 1,200 square feet for an overall total of 3,500 square feet. Mr. Lloyd advised that Section 1004.01A6 (Supplemental Lot Requirements) require a five foot (5’) principal structure setback from the side property line. The proposed two foot (2’) encroachment could be accommodated with a Setback Permit, which was how Mr. Gross initially sought approval of the encroachment, except that the resulting impervious coverage necessitated a variance. Mr. Lloyd noted that the subject property is ten feet (10’) narrower and nine-hundred feet (900) square feet smaller than the Code requires, with the existing house on the property having a livable area of approximately 980 square feet and an attached, single-car garage. Staff recommended APPROVAL of the request for a two-foot (2’) side yard setback VARIANCE required in City Code, Section 1012.01B (Supplemental Lot Requirements) and a 350 square foot VARIANCE from the impervious surface area limit, established in City Code, Section 1004,01A6 (Maximum Total Surface Area), to allow construction of the proposed residential addition on the property at 2613 Fry Street, based on the comments and findings outlined in Section 5, and detailed conditions of Section 6 of the project report dated July 11, 2007. Discussion included impervious surface coverage as it related to removal of the garden shed; and size of the existing home. Applicant, Thomas Gross Mr. Gross requested clarification on removal of the garden shed and that it be subject to removal six (6) months after construction is completed to allow for ongoing storage during that time. Commissions concurred that this was an appropriate request. Chair Boerigter closed the Public Hearing, with no one appearing for or against.
