VARIANCE APPLICATION - 592 SEXTANT AVENUE WEST <br />We are requesting a variance from the City of Roscville's requirement that each <br />residential properiy ha�e no more than 30% of the lot covered with impervious surfaces. <br />Our plan to do a 360 s.f. family room addition to the rear of our house will not be allowed <br />because of this restriction. We feel that this qualifies as a hardship situation because this <br />rule will prevent us from using our own property in the manner that we would like. W e <br />love the neighborhood that we live in, and want to be in this house for a very long time. <br />It is our opinion that this addition to our e�siting home will fit in with our area and we <br />expect that our neighbors will not ha�e a problem with the addition as proposed. While <br />we recognize and respect the authority that the City has to impose this 30% rule, we will <br />be very disappointed if we are not allowed to expand and improve our home as we see fit. <br />It should be noted that the addition will have adequate gutters and downspouts installed <br />to direct water i'uu0ff to the rear of our property, and not directly onto a driveway or <br />sidewalk that leads to the street. Although this situation is due in part to the fact that we <br />areona minimum sized lot (11,040 s.f.), we don't feel that this new room will in anyway <br />overwhelm the feeling of the neighborhood, nor create a flow of water that will adversely <br />affect the e�sting storm water system. We therefore respectfully request that the City of <br />Roseville grant us this variance in order to obtain the necessary building permit and <br />commence construction of this new family room <br />
