WHEREAS, the Roseville City Council received the Planning Commission's <br />recommendation on Monday, January 22, 2001; and <br />WHEREAS, the Roseville City Council made the following findings: <br />Section 1011 b.22A1(Non-Conformities) stipulates that non-conformities can <br />continue but are subject to applicable State Statutes and City Ordinance regarding <br />alterations, repair after damage, discontinuance of use, and intensification of use. <br />2. Section 1016.16 (Structure Design Standards) requires structures to be set back a <br />minimum of 75 feet from the ordinary high watermark (OHW). <br />3. Section 1016.26B1(Storm Water Management) requires all single family lots within <br />the Shoreland Management District to have no more that 25% impervious site <br />coverage. <br />4. Section 1004. 0205 (Dwelling Dimensions and Appearances and Height, Frontage, <br />Yard and Lot Area Requirements in R-Z Districts) requires a front yard setback of 30 <br />feet and side yard setbacks of IO feet. <br />S. The property owner did not create the hardship. The lot division occurred and the <br />structure was constructed and improved many years before the current owner <br />purchased the property. City records indicate the existing structure was constructed <br />in 1934 with sewer, water, foundation and a basement being installed in the early <br />1960's. The Roseville City Code was adopted in 1959 and the Shoreland Ordinance <br />adopted in 1974. <br />6. The economics of constructing an addition and remodeling versus constructing new <br />are quite different. The existing structure does not meet most building codes. <br />Remodeling would be costly and difficult. New construction would provide a modern <br />structure that meets all current building codes and the purpose and intent of the <br />Roseville Comprehensive Plan. <br />7. Requiring a setback of 75 feet from the OHW would be overly restrictive and out of <br />character with the adjacent homes. The parcel has a sharp (vertical) transition from <br />the road inward creating a unique physical feature that provides di�culties for <br />redevelopment and direct access. Access is currently (will remain) via a private <br />easement with the west property owner. The narrow width of the parcel limits the <br />type, style, and design options for a new home. Adjacent homes are located 38 feet <br />(east) and 60 feet (west) from the OHW suggesting the proposed new home be placed <br />49 feet (the average of adjacent lots) from the OHW and in a similar line to the <br />lakeshore. <br />3 <br />
