L the applicant's window view was considered a hardship while no hardship was acknowledged for � the adjoining neighbors (losing their view). Other locations on the site could be used (east side, � adjacent to garage) or through a tuck-under garage and a porch. A variance could also be granted � to the north without diminishing value of properties to the south. � � Member Stone asked if there are views from other rooms in the Berkner house (living room, front � porch, and driveway). � � Member B1ank asked if other property owners have objected (None on record). �S� II �� ]3 !� ]� i� �� ]R ]� �� �] �� �3 �� �� �� �r 2$ �� 3�] �L �� 3� 3� 3S �fi �� 38 3� �� �l �� �3 �� �5 �� �r �� �� 5�j Chair Mulder asked if trees were planted, instead of a porch, what would the reaction be. (Trees are acceptable.) Mr. Berkner suggested an alternative design with split entry or tuck-under garage. Kara Rose and Charlie Rose, 998 Brooks, stated that this was the only location that worked on this site. Mr. Rose checked on property values with the County and realtors and found no adverse effect. Seven contractors reviewed the Rose alternative, noting that the kitchen and dining room are on the west side of the house. He explained the 3-season porch and deck proposal, which does not extend beyond the back (south) wa11 of the house. Pictures of the fencing and foliage were explained. Summer pictures illustrate that the lake is not visible in the summer because of the thick woods. An uncovered deck can be placed on this site without a variance. Chair Mulder asked where the porch entry wi11 be for the porch (south side of chimney). Why not move porch north (structurally not stable). Mr. Berkner explained the view from his son's windows stating that trees in the park could be removed in the future to provide a better view of the 1ake. Chair Mulder noted that trees cannot be removed from the park because of shoreland regulations. Chair Mulder closed the hearing. Member Peper asked if values of nearby houses are the same, does the location change value? (Based on the sales value and square footage of house and 1ot). Member Ipsen questionedthe Berkner winter view and the summer foliage view. Thomas Paschke explained that the City has no regulationsprohibiting tree planting or obstructingviews, except in the street view triangle. Chair Mulder asked what is the rear yard setback (east, 30 feet; south 5 feet). A general discussion of setbacks ensued. Member B1ank commented that this proposal is not nearly as close as others in the neighborhood, and he would recommend granting a variance. Motion: Member Peper moved, seconded by Member Stone, to recommend approval of an 11 foot Variance to Section 1004.02D4 (side yard adjacent a street) of the Roseville City Code to a11ow the construction of a 14 foot by 14 foot porch and 14 foot by 10 foot deck on to the west side of the principal structure to be placed 19 feet from the property line for Kara Rose, 998
