Sollecito Residence Utility Protection Side Roof Addition

The City of South Lake Tahoe is processing a minor variance request for the Sollecito Residence located at 1246 Stockton Avenue, a corner parcel bordered by Stockton Avenue and Fountain Avenue, to allow for the installation of five structural posts that extend 5 feet 6 inches into the required 15-foot side street setback. These posts will support a roof extension designed solely to protect existing utilities adjacent to the residential structure, without increasing the dwelling’s footprint or altering its permitted use. The project is classified as a categorical exemption under CEQA Section 15301, Class 1, which permits minor alterations to existing structures without requiring full environmental review. The planning department has posted the request on November 21, 2025, and the approval process is administrative, not a competitive procurement, meaning no contract value, pricing, or federal acquisition regulations apply. The request does not involve any federal contracting clauses, payment systems, inspection protocols beyond local code compliance, or socioeconomic certifications. The project is led by Anna Russell, the design professional, with Gretchen Schooleman, Assistant Planner for the City of South Lake Tahoe, serving as the primary contact for administrative review. All work, including inspections and acceptance, will occur on-site at the property address, and approval hinges solely on compliance with the local setback ordinance and the validity of the CEQA exemption. No formal contract, delivery schedule, packaging requirements, or financial terms are involved, as this is a land use variance application under municipal authority.
