• City Planner Hoyt briefed the commission on Mr. Payin's request for
a 5 foot variance from the corner sideyard setback of 15 feet to
construct a new garage 10 feet from the corner sideyard property
line. This will replace a deteriorating existing garage that is
6 feet from the corner sideyard property line. Planner Hoyt
explained that unique hardships for granting this variance are
1) the garage access cannot be located 15 feet back from the corner
side property line because of a large maple tree behind the garage;
2) the garage access cannot be located on the west side of the
property because of the large maple tree behind the existing
garage; and 3) the garage access cannot be located onto the alley
because of an N.S.P. gasline release valve where the driveway would
located. She also explained that the large tree and the gasline
release valve met the following conditions for granting a variance,
15.03 (4) (c) for the enjoyment of the property and 15.03 (4) (g)
unique characteristics of the site.
Mr. Payin, property owner of 1463 California, said the garage would
be 22 feet x 22 feet, and that both the exterior paint and roof
design would match the house. The commission voted unanimously to
grant the variance because of the conditions stated above.

The Roseville police requested this parking change to maintain
consistency in parking regulations within the University Grove
neighborhood and, thus, make them easier to enforce. This is a
timely request because the public works department plans to replace
illegible signs- in this neighborhood this year. Planner Hoyt
stated residents were asked to contact her if they disapproved of
this change; no one contacted her. The commission unanimously
approved of the change in parking restrictions.

Commissioner Barry thanked Finegan, Daykin, and Planner Hoyt for
their time and hard work in drafting this policy. He stated the
committee was trying to establish a parking policy that would be
consistent throughout the City, but still be fairly flexible to
meet individual parking situations.
The residential parking permit section of the draft was discussed.
Chairperson Boche stated that this is the one area of the policy
which should have very rigid rules because if there should be
problems, it would most likely be in this section. Councilman Paul
Ciernia suggested it be emphasized that all avenues of residential
• parking have been explored and the residential parking permit is
the last resort. He also asked that the fact that Hollywood Court
residents had permits during the state fair be added. Chairperson
Boche suggested these two changes be put into the policy and it be
brought back to the next meeting.
UPDATE- -ON- -THE COMPREHENSIf7E PDAi~TN-ING- -PROCEa-S
Planner Hoyt reported the comprehensive planning process is moving
along rapidly. She stated Fred Hoisington, consultant, has asked
to be given approximately 1 1/2 hour at the August 27 planning
commission meeting to present his preliminary findings and discuss
the strategy for neighborhood meetings. He would like one
neighborhood meeting in September and one in October with
invitations and postcards being sent out and a notice placed in
FOCUS. After discussion by the Commission, it was decided the
meeting would be held on Monday evening, September 24 following the
planning commission meeting. The planning commission meeting time
would be changed to start at 7 p.m. with the neighborhood meeting
to commence at 8 p.m. Planner Hoyt will discuss an October date
with Consultant Hoisington.

Mr. Tennyson proposes to construct an addition to a single car
garage to make it into a double garage. In order to do so, a
variance of 6 feet in the frontyard setback requirement of 30 feet
is necessary and a second variance of 5 inches in the sideyard
setback requirement is also necessary.
Planner Hoyt briefed the commission on her discussions with Mr.
Tennyson's son, Rob, and her memorandum regarding his request
stating the trapezoidal shape of the lot makes it difficult to
construct a garage without infringing on the interior sideyard
setback. The planner felt the request for the sideyard variance
makes sense due to the angle of the line. However, she felt the
6 foot variance from the 30 foot frontyard setback may set a
precedent for reducing frontyard requirements throughout the
neighborhood and city.
Mr. Rob Tennyson presented a second plan (attachment 1) before the
commission. This plan required a 2 foot 8 inch variance in the
frontyard and a 2 foot 2 inch variance in the interior sideyard
setback. This plan significantly minimized the required variance
in the frontyard.
After a lengthy discussion, where the commission reviewed the
alternatives, as well as the alternative of increasing the sideyard
variance even more, which Mr. Rob Tennyson and Planner Hoyt said
would bring the structure almost to the property line and too close
• to the neighboring dwelling for fire safety. Commissioner Barry
moved to approve the variances requested for Plan B due to the
unique trapezoidal shape of the lot, which is criteria 15.03 (4) (g)
of the conditions for granting a variance (attachment 2). The
motion was unanimously accepted.

Planner Hoyt stated that the proposed revision to section 9-2.04
(2) (b) which reads,
"Area: Detached accessory buildings shall not occupy more than
35 percent of the area of the existing rear yard and shall be
no more than 1,000 sq. ft."
would allow too much area for detached accessory structure on
smaller lots, and that the "existing" rear yard might be reduced
after the accessory buildings were constructed. Therefore, it was
suggested to return to the recommendation made to the commission
last month which reads:
"Area: Detached accessory buildings shall not occupy more than
40 percent of the area of a required rear yard; and shall not
exceed a total of 1,000 sq. ft."

The public hearing was closed by Chairperson Boche.
Discussion followed. A motion was made and unanimously passed to
accept section 9-2.04(2)(c) which reads:
"Area: Detached accessory buildings shall not occupy more
that 40 percent of the area of a required rear yard; and shall
not exceed a total of 1,000 sq. ft."
