Crty Planner <br />2660 Civic Center Drive <br />Roseville, NIN 55 113 <br />� � <br />�����' � <br />S�P 1 5 ZOOG <br />Re: David Mickelson Updated Variance Request, New Garage, Shoreland District, Lake Josephine (62- <br />57P), City of Rosev�lle, Ramsey County <br />DearMr. Paschke: <br />Enclosed with this letter is a September8, 20001etter from Sussel Construction concerning the possible <br />location of the Mickelson Garage. In an earlier letter, it was recommended that the Mickelson Variance <br />be denied as it was proposed because it was possible to reduce the amount of variance required for the <br />structure by movmg the �roposed garage closer to the house to a point where the new garage would be <br />flush with the existing driveway. <br />Mr. Mickelson has agreed to move the proposed garage closer to the house, but he has countered that it <br />is not possible to construct a garage without an apron. He further countered that the apron must be four <br />feet in width in order to ha�e proper drainage for the garage. Mr. Mickelson was told that his builder (the <br />Sussel Corporation) must send a letter to us m which it is stated that a garage cannot possibly be <br />constructed without a four foot apron. The builder's letter is enclosed with this letter. <br />Therefore, DNR Waters does not obj ect to constructing a garage that is located four feet from the main <br />body of the Mickelson Driveway with the condition that the building inspector of the City of Roseville <br />agree wrth the points that are made m the September 8, 2000 letter from the Sussel Corporation. We <br />further recommend that the planting of additional trees between Lake Josephine and the proposed garage <br />be made a condition of the Mickelson Variance. Please note that the new trees will not block the view of <br />Lake Josephine from the Mickelson home because the new garage will be blocking the view instead. <br />Thank you for giving the DNR the opportunity to comment on the Mickelson variance. We look forward <br />to receiving a written record of the decision that is made on the request. We also look forward to reviewing <br />future variances and conditional use permits for the City of Roseville shoreland and floodplain ordinances. <br />Please feel free to contact me, or Molly Shodeen, at 651-772-7910 should you have any questions <br />concerning these comments. <br />Sincerely, , <br />���u�� �� <br />/Joseph Richter <br />Hydrologist <br />Enclosure <br />c: Rice Creek Watershed District, Rate Drewry <br />DNR Information: 651-296-6157 . 1-888-646-6367 .
