The property is <br />zoned R-1, Single Family Residential, and the Comprehensive Plan identifies the <br />property as Low Density Residential. <br />].? The variance request has been promptedby the applicant's desire to construct an addition <br />of approximately 15 feet by 18 feet in size that would reduce the setback from the <br />wetland to about 35 feet. <br />]_a The City Engineer is the City's designated administrator of the Wetland Conservation <br />Act; as such, she has determined that a natural wetland was present when the site was <br />developed in 1995-1996 and has been enlarged, to some degree, as a result of the use of <br />the wetland since then as a storm water retention pond. <br />1_� On October 4,2006 the Roseville Variance Board held the public hearing regarding the <br />request by Thomas McDaniel seeking a VARIANCE to § 1016.016 (Wetlands) of the <br />City Code to allow the construction of an addition onto the rear of his home. The <br />proposed addition would encroach approximately 15 feet into the required 50-foot <br />setback from a wetland. <br />l. 5 City staff recommended that the variance be denied because no undue hardship would be <br />imposed on the property owner if the requirements of the Code were strictly applied; <br />demonstrating such hardship is necessary for variance approval. <br />L.�, The Variance Board voted 3-0 to deny the request. <br />I.? Section 10 �4.04C of the City Code states that the City Council acts as the Board of <br />Adjustment in variance appeal actions and that an appeal must be acted upon by the City <br />Council at their next regular meeting. <br />PROJECT REVIEW HISTORY <br />� Application submitted: September 6,2006 <br />• Determined complete: September 8,2006 <br />* Sixiy�day review deadline: November 5,2006 <br />} Variance Board action: October 4,2006 <br />�'�3787_RCA_Appeai_102306 <br />Page 1 of 5 <br />
