Plannin� File 3296: Zaun request for a six-foot Variance from Section 703.04B1a for property at 3 116 West Owasso Boulevard. Chair Rhody opened the hearing and requested Thomas Paschke to provide a verbal summary of the staff report dated June 12,200 1. Richard Zaun is requesting a six-foot variance from Section 703.04B la of the City Code to allow a driveway apron in the public right-of-way to be increased from the required 26-foot ma�mum width to a width of 32 feet. The proposed reduction of this setback requirement will enable Mr. Zaun to retain his driveway in its current location. The three findings recommended by the staff included: A. The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use tfused under conditions allowed by the o�ciat cont�ols: Mr. Zaun currently has a 32-foot wide apron that provides access to the detached garage (directly adjacent to West Owasso Boulevard) and driveway that extends towards the home which provides access and parking. Requiring an apron modification consistent with the City Code (26 feet in width) would prevent/critically limit access to the home and off-street parking. B. The plight of the land owner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the land owner: The City's Pavement Management Program and the reconstruction of West Owasso Boulevard has required Mr. Zaun to apply for a variance if he wants the e�sting (or similar) driveway apron width to remain. Mr. Zaun's driveway improvements were constructed prior to the City ha�ing a ma�num apron width requirement for the public right-of-way. C. The variance, ifgranted, will not alter the essential ch�acter of the locality: The proposed siY-foot variance to the required apron width in a public right-of-way will not alter the essential character or the locality, nor adversely affect the public health, safety, or general welfare, of the city or adjacent properties. The staff recommended approval (without conditions). Member Olson asked about the pre-e�sting driveway widths to the current City Code. Mr. Zaun said he had no further comment. Chair Rhody closed the hearing. �Totion: Member Rhody moved, second by Member Duncan, to recommend approval of the request by Richard Zaun for a six foot variance to Section 703.04B 1 a of the Roseville City Code to allow an increase in the required driveway apron within a public right-of-way from 26 feet to 32 feet for property located at 3 116 West Owasso Boulevard, based on the findings in Section 3 of the project report dated June 12, 2001.
