The Community Development staff recommends approval of a 892 s.f. lot size variance to Section 1004.016 (Residential Dimensional Requirements) for new Parcel "B", and, approval of a minor subdivision to allow the creation of one substandard residential parcel for property located at 1822 Dale Court. The recommendations are based on the findings in Section 5 of the project report dated August 3, 2005 and are based on compliance with the following conditions: The City policy is to require payment of the Metro Area SewerAvailability Charge (SAC) upon the issuance of a building permit. In this case, a$1,500 SAC fee is required and will be collected with the issuance of a building permit for Parcel " B. The applicant must record the finro lot minor subdivision survey within 60 days after the approval of the City Council. Public utility and drainage easements of 5 feet are required on the sides and rear lot line. For Parcel "B", the applicant must apply for and receive a Dale Court driveway access permit from the Roseville Public Works Director prior to issuance of any building or grading permit. The existing looped driveway must be removed as part of the building permit, or the owner of Parcel B must provide an access easement for continued use of the driveway by the owner of Parcel A. It the looped drive is to remain, the access easement must be submitted as part of the building permit application. A grading plan, soil borings, and the survey ("B" above) illustrating lot lines and house setbacks must be submitted with the building permit application. VUthin thirty (30) days after approval by the City Council, the applicant shall supply the final survey to the Community Development Director for review and approval. A certificate of survey shall be required on all proposed parcels. After completion of the review and approval by the City Manager, the survey shall be recorded by the applicant with the Ramsey County Recorder within sixty (60) days. Failure to record the subdivision within sixty (60) days shall nullify the approval of the subdivision. (Ord. 1171, 9-23-1996) Member White asked if a variance could be requested by the future owner (yes). I s there a house plan to approve with this request? (No, not at this time). Member Boerigter asked for clarification of the conditions which would be placed on the future house He asked if the lot size variance was unusual in Roseville (no). Where would the access point (driveway) be located? (on Dale Court). What is the lot coverage? (less than 30%). Member White asked if the new owner of the lot is almost required to get a variance (no) because the Planning Commission is validating the need for a variance by approving the lot. Member Wozniak asked if the conditions prohibiting a variance could be stated. (cannot prohibit a future owner from requesting a variance). Member poherty expressed concern that the next buyer will not understand the restriction of this lot. Member White asked if the Commission could describe his requirements to build within the setback triangle on the lot. Todd Iliff, representing the ownerand family, explained the proposal to sell the lot. He said safety and sight line issues are not major concems when turning on to Dale Street. The design of the home, reasonably sized, would be consistentwith the neighborhood. He did hire an architectwho tested a number of housing shapes. Member White described a similar home on Como Avenue. Member Bakeman asked for sewer and soil boring information on the site. Mt. Iliff explained that there has been no problem on the site for the past 30 years.
