Ayes: 3 Nays: 0 Motion carried. c. PLANNING FILE 07-035 Request by Curt Dubbeldee, 2373 Victoria Street, for a VARIANCE to Roseville City Code, §1004 (Residential Districts) to allow an addition to the attached garage that would encroach into the required side yard setback and add to the existing impervious coverage that is more than the City Code allows. Chair Boerigter opened the Public Hearing for Planning File 07-035. Associate Planner Bryan Lloyd reviewed the request for variances to City Code, Sections 1004 (Residential Districts) and 1012 (General Requirements) to allow construction of a residential addition; with the proposed addition encroaching two feet (2’) in to the required side yard setback and increase the impervious surface area on their lot by approximately 1900 square feet for an overall total of 4,155 square feet. Mr. Lloyd noted that the existing improvements on the property included a house with a one-car, attached garage setback approximately eight-five feet (85’) from the front property line and a long horseshoe-shaped driveway. Mr. Lloyd advised that the encroachment could have been reviewed and approved administratively were it not for the amount of impervious surface area on the property. Mr. Lloyd reviewed lot and impervious surface areas; and noted that the applicants have indicated that the existing concrete apron/carport is wide enough to serve the proposed garage addition without the need for an expanded driveway. Staff recommended APPROVAL of the request for a two-foot (2’) side yard setback VARIANCE set forth in City Code, Section 1012.01B (Supplemental Lot Requirements) and a 600 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 2373 Victoria Street; based on comments and findings outlined in Sections 5 and 6, and detailed conditions of Section 6 of the project report dated July 11, 2007. Discussion included existence of a shed on the property, and subsequent removal to further reduce impervious surface coverage on the property. Applicant, Heather Dubbeldee, 2373 Victoria Street N Ms. Dubbeldee expressed the applicant’s willingness to work with the City Engineer on stormwater management, including creation of a rain garden or directing rain gutters as appropriate. Ms. Dubbeldee advised that the garden shed had not been included in the impervious surface calculations, as it did not have a solid foundation. However, Ms. Dubbeldee noted the applicant was willing to remove the existing shed. Public Comment Stan Morass, 841 Grandview Avenue
