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. -F4R--~ _C~"r,,.d ;E_-FROM --'!ONE --HOUR - -PA~KTNG --$ - Ps: A~ - ~EN-BS-- AND -HOETDA~S'-'-1F0- !"PWO -HOB-~A3~KING- 8 -P, -M: • 1 UNT-Ib- F'fli~)Ri~LT-A~7~A1UR -T~JRNE- SflUTi~ -3'{>WARD HOYT: 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. Ii~ITRODU£T3{~N -OF THE DRAFT _OF L1'HE CiTY- -OF-_ FALCON--HEIfH~f'S _ -PA~2R~i~1G P{?Fs3-Cy . 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.

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.

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." 3 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."
