7.4 The residents and the Planning Commission asked questions of the City Planner to clarify history of the site, Code requirements, and the staff recommendation. Upon consideration of the information provided at the hearing, the Commission concluded that the request did not meet the necessary hardship test. 7.5 The Roseville Planning Commission voted (4-1) to recommended denial of the request for a 2-1/2 foot variance to Section 1012.02B2 ofthe Roseville City Code to allow a fence 6-1/2 feet in height in the front yard of property located at 1897 Shady Beach Avenue, based on the following findings: A. The property can be put to reasonable use under the official controls of the City. A 4-foot tall fence can provide the privacy desired by the applicant, without having a profound impact on the neighborhood. Landscape screening can be installed to augment the 4-foot tall fence. B. The property owner created the circumstance by his desire to construct a fence taller than allowed by Code. A 6-1/2 foot tall fence does not provide any more screening or blocking of potential headlight glare from Shady Beach Drive and the neighboring driveway than a 4-foot tall fence. C. The 6-1/2 foot tall fence does alter the essential character of this neighborhood. 8.0 SUGGESTED CITY COUNCIL ACTION 8.1 Adopt a resolution to deny (approve or approve w/conditions) the request by Brad Hoff for a 2-1/2 foot variance to Section 1012.02B2 of the Roseville City Code, based on the findings of the Planning Commission (11/14/Ol).
