d

Findings and Dec'L_lon of the
Hearing Examiner of the City of Edmonds
Re: V-30-85
Page 2
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The Applicant has requested approval of a variance to reduce fa
the minimum side setback on property located at 15714.75th
Place West, Edmonds, Washington. Specifically, the request
'is to reduce the minimum side setback on the subject property'
from ten feet to five feet. (Staff report.)
2. The subject property is a small, narrow lot located in the
north Meadowdale area of Edmonds. It is located on the west
side of 75th Place West. The lot consists of approximately
8,517 square feet of land. There is a small residence located !%
on the lot. (Bowman testimony and Staf..f report.) �
3. The property is atop a bluff directly above Burlington
Northern Railroad right-of-way and the Puget Sound. The
property on the west of the property slopes downwards from
75th Place West. (Staff report.)
4. It is the intent of the Applicant to construct an addition
to the south side of the existing house located on the lot..
In order to construct an addition the Applicant needs a
variance. (Staff report.)
5. The property is zoned RS-20. Section 16.20.030 of the Edmonds
Community Development Code (ECDC) requires that RS-20 pro-
perty have at least a ten -foot side setback and 35 feet of
total side setbacks on both sides of the property. It is
from this section of the ECDC that the Applicant seeks a
variance. (Bowman testimony and Staff report.)
6. In order for a variance to be granted within the City of
Edmonds the criteria as set forth in Section 20.85.010 of
the ECDC must be adhered to. These criteria include
A. Special circumstances relating to the property must
exist necessitating the variance;
B. The required variance must not result in a special
privilege being granted to the Applicant;
C. The variance must be consistent with the Comprehensive.
Policy Plan Map of the City of Edmonds,
D. The variance must be consistent with the purposes of
the zone district in which the property is located;
E. The variance must not be significantly detrimental to
the public health, safety or welfare, nor injurious to
the property or improvements in the vicinity of the same
zone; and,
F. The variance must be the minimum necessary to allow the
same rights enjoyeu by o.tiier properties in the same zone.
Findings and Deci:.,:on of the �.,.
Hearing Examiner of the City of Edmonds
Re:
V-30-85
Page 3
,,a
w��xe
7.
The lot is part of an old subdivision and is a narrow and.
01
steep lot. Any improvements that will be made to the.resi-�`
dence on the lot will require a variance because of the
restrictive RS-20's bulk and dimension requirements. (Bowman
testimony.)
l 8.
The Comprehensive Policy Plan Map designates the subject pro-
perty as Low Density Residential. (Staff report.)
9.
The requested variance will not be detrimental to other pro-
perties in the area and will not impact the public or nearby
`•
properties or improvements.. (Staff report.)
10.
The major problem with the granting of a variance is the
�.
exact location of the sanitary sewer line easement that
services the residence. The easement is described in
Snohomish County Auditors File as #AF-8310200222. Neither
the City nor the Applicant at the time of the hearing was
informed as to the exact location of this easement. (Bowman
testimony.)
11.
The City's representative submitted that if the sanitary
sewer line over the easement interferes with the addition
to the existing residence, the variance should be denied.
If it does not, the Planning Department recommended approval'
of the variance. (Bowman testimony.)
12.
The Applicant, in a letter addressed to the Hearing Examiner,
submitted that the "plumbing apparently is hooked up to a
line that is almost on the north property line." The Appli-
cant's representative submitted that he "assumed that the
easement is on the north property line." The addition that
is proposed for the residence and is the subject of the
variance request is to be located on the south portion
of the residence. (Exhibit 6.)
13.
The Planning Department of the City of Edmonds determined
after the hearing that the sewer easement is located on
(,
the north property line. As a result of this determination,
the Planning Department did not oppose the granting of a
�!
variance. (Exhibit 7.)
14.
No adverse testimony was received in this matter.
CONCLUSIONS
1. The application is for the approval of a variance to reduce
the required minimum side setback from ten feet to five feet
on property located at 15714 75th Place West, Edmonds,
Washington, and more particularly described as set forth above.

Re: V-30-85

2. In order for -a variance to be 'granted within the City of
Edmonds the criteria as forth in Section 20.85.0.10 of
the ECDC must be met. The application satisfies these
criteria.
3. Special circumstances exist for the granting of a variance.
Because the lot that is the subject of this request is part
of an old subdivision that is narrow and steep, it is not
necessarily conducive for development to RS-20 standards
if the lot were to be developed today. As a result of I the
narrowness and steepness any improvements require a variance.
These are sufficient special circumstances to warrant a
variance.
4. The granting of a variance will not be the grant of a:?
special privilege
5. The Comprehensive Policy Plan Map of the City.of Edmonds
designates the property as Low 'Density Residential The
request is consistent with this designation.
6. The request is consistent with the RS-20 zoning standards of
the City of Edmonds and the other zoning standards of the
City of Edmonds.
7. The requested variance will not be detrimental to other.
properties in the vicinity.
8. The requested variance in the setback is the ,minimum
necessary for the Applicant to develop the property in a
manner similar to other property owners in the vicinity.
DECISION
Based upon the preceding Findings of Fact and Conclusions; the
testimony and evidence submitted at the public hearing; and, the
impressions of the Hearing Examiner at a site view,.it is hereby
ordered that the requested variance be granted. The specific
request is to reduce the minimum side setback from ten feet to
five on property located at 15714 75th Place West, Edmonds,
Washington, and is granted subject to -the following conditions:
1. The. Applicant is to secure all necessary permits from the
City of Edmonds prior to the development.
2. All construction on the property must occur on the south
side and must not interfere with any sewer easement.
Entered this 23rd day of January, 1986, pursuant to the authority
granted the Hearing Examiner under Chapter-20.100 of the Community
Development Code of the City of Edmonds.
