PLANNING FILE 3798 VARIANCE to Roseville City Code, Request by Patricia Maylone, 699 Belmont Lane for a §1004.016 (Residential Dimensional Requirements) to allow an attached garage encroachment into the required front yard setback. Chair Bakeman opened the Public Hearing for Planning File 3798. Associate Planner Bryan Lloyd reviewed the request of Ms. Maylone for a variance to allow the expansion of the principal structure (i.e., attached garage) toward the front property line to increase the amount of living area and enclosed storage for vehicles and yard-care equipment. Mr. Lloyd noted that the proposed addition would extend to approximately eleven feet (11’) from the front property line. Staff recommended approval of the requested Variance, based on comments and findings outlined in Section 5, and the conditions of Section 6 of the project report dated December 6, 2006. Mr. Lloyd noted that, in 1984, a minor variance was granted to a nearby property (669 Belmont Lane) to allow the attached garage to extend to within seventeen feet (17’) of the property line in order to accomplish a similar goal of increasing enclosed parking. Mr. Lloyd further noted that the lot was created in 1955 with an area of approximately 10,900 square feet, smaller than current City Code for a corner lot.
