Plannine File 3304: Overbye request for a 20 foot Variance from Section 703.04B1a for property at 29 16 West Owasso Boulevard. Chair Rhody opened the hearing and requested Thomas Paschke to provide a verbal summary of the staff report dated June 12, 2001. John Overbye is requesting a 20-foot variance from Section 703.04B 1 a 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 46 feet. The proposed reduction of this setback will enable Mr. Overbye to retain his driveway in approximately its current location. There is need to get around the garage to the house. The three findings recommended by the staff included: A. The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use fused under conditions allowed by the o�cial controls: Mr. Zaun currently has a 32-f0ot 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 Pa�ement 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 character 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. Staff recommended approval. Chair Rhody closed the hearing since Mr. Overbye had no additional information. He accepted the staff report. Motion: Member Rhody moved, second by Member Wilke, to reCOmmend apprOVal of the request by John Overbye for a 20 foot variance to Section 703.04B1a of the Roseville City Code to allow an increase in the required driveway apron with in a public right-of-way from 26 feet to 46 feet for property located at 2916 West Owasso Boulevard, based on the findings in Section 3 of the project report dated June 12, 2001.
