310 1st Ave. South, #332
Seattle, WA 98104
Dear Mr. Ojala:
LARRY S. NAUGHTEN
MAYOR
PETER E. HAHN
DIRECTOR
Some weeks ago, you visited the building department inquiring about
requirements for obtaining a building permit for Jean Riggle on her
property at 15714 75th Pl. S.W., Edmonds.
During your visit, we discussed the two variances that were granted on
Ms. Riggle's property. The first variance, file #V-30-85, reduced
the required south side yard setback to five feet. A second variance,
file #V-17-86, reduced the required street setback along 75th P1. W. to
zero feet for a proposed carport.
Unfortunately, I discovered that no action was taken on the earlier
variance. The Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC), under Section
20.85.020 (C) states that "...the approved variance must be acted on by
the owner within one year of the date of approval or the variance shall
expire and be null and void..." The effective date of approval of
variance, #V-30-85, was February 6, 1986. Since no application for an
extension or building permit was received by the city by February 6,
1987, that variance has expired.
The second variance, #V-17-86, will expire on August 18, 1987, unless
you file an application for a building permit or request an extension
before that date.
The plans that you brought in also reflected a new deck and porch that
would follow the existing nonconforming north side yard setback. Since
no variance has been granted for these structures, they are not allowed.

IV. STAFF FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS:
A. Description of the Subject Property and Surrounding Area
The subject property is a small narrow lot located in the
north Meadowdale area of Edmonds, on the west side of 75th
pl. W. There is an existing small residence located on the
property.
On January 23, 1986, the Hearing Examiner granted a variance
to the applicant to reduce the required side minimum side
setback to 5' to allow an addition onto the existing
residence, under file #V-30-85. The Applicant is now
seeking a variance to allow the construction of a carport on
the upper plateau of her lot.
Surrounding development is single family residential.

1. Special Circumstances
Special circumstances do appear to exist in this
particular case due to the topography of the lot.
2. Special Privilege
The proposed variance does not appear to represent a
grant of special privilege. The property to the south
has developed covered parking into the public right-of-
way.
3. Comprehensive Plan
The Comprehensive Policy Plan map designates the
subject property and surrounding area as Low Density
Residential.
The proposed variance, as conditioned, does not appear
to conflict with the purposes of the Comprehensive
Plan.
4. Zoning Ordinance
The subject property, as well as the surrounding area,
is zoned RS-20.
The proposed variance, as conditioned, does not appear
to conflict with the purposes of the zoning ordinance
or the RS-20 zone district.
5. Not Detrimental
The proposed variances does not appear to pose any
significant impact to the public or to any near by
private property or improvement.
6. Minimum Variance
Given the circumstances, the requested variances do
appear to represent a minimum variance request.
V. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
It is the recommendation of the staff that V-17-86 be approved,
subject to the following condition:
1. The Applicant obtain and comply with all building permit
requirements.
Staff Report
Page. 3

2. In lieu of dedication of the 10' required by the Official
Street Map, the Applicant file a conditional deed, approved as
to form by the City Attorney, with the Snohomish County
Auditor stating that the 10' of right-of-way along 75th P1. W.
shall be dedicated to the City of Edmonds at the time of
filing of a resolution of the City Council requiring the
widening of the said road. Further, that the conditional deed
shall provide a clause requiring no compensation for removing
the proposed parking structure.

OF THE HEARING EXAMINER OF THE
CITY OF EDMONDS
IN THE MATTER OF THE APP.LICAT'ION FILE: V-17-86
OF JEAN RIGGLE FOR APPROVAL OF A
VARIANCE
DECISION: The variance is granted subject to
the conditions listed.
INTRODUCTION
Jean Riggle, 15714 - 75th Place West, Edmonds, Washington, 98020,
and hereinafter referred to as Applicant, has requested approval
of a variance for property located at 15714 - 75th Place West,.,,,,
Edmonds, Washington, and more particularly described as:
South 15 feet of Lot 5 and North 30 feet
of Lot 6, Block 28, Together with a portion
of 75th Avenue West, Lying adjacent, Vol. 5,
Page 38, Snohomish County, Washington.
The specific variance requested is for the reduction of the
required 25 foot street setback to a zero foot setback to allow
the construction of a carport on the subject property.
A hearing on the request was held before the Hearing Examiner on
July 17, 1986.
At the public hearing the following presented testimony and
evidence:

Findings and Decision of the
Hearing Examiner of the City of Edmonds
Re: V-17-86
Page 2
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The application is for the approval of a variance for the
reduction of a street setback from the allowed 25-foot street
setback to one of zero feet. The subject property is located
at 15714 - 75th Place West, Edmonds, Washington, and more
particularly described as set forth above. (Staff report.)
2. The subject property is zoned RS-20. Section 16.20.030 of the
Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) establishes that
RS-20 zoned property shall have minimum street setbacks of
25 feet. It is from this section of the code that the Appli-
cant seeks a variance. (ECDC.)
3. Section. 20.85.010 of the ECDC sets forth the criteria for the I:
granting of a variance. These criteria include:
A. Because of special circumstances relating to the property,
the strict enforcement of the zoning ordinance would deprive
the owner of use rights and privileges permitted to other
properties in the vicinity with the same zoning.
B. The approval of the variance would not be a grant of special
privilege to the property in comparison with the limitations
upon other properties in the vicinity with the same zoning.
C. The approval of the variance will be consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan of the City of Edmonds.
D. The approval of the variance will be consistent with the
purposes of the zoning ordinance and the zone district
in which the property is located.
E. The variance as approved or conditionally approved will
not be significantly detrimental to the public health,
safety and welfare or injurious to the property or
improvements in the vicinity and same zone.
F. The requested. variance is the minimum necessary to allow
the owner the rights enjoyed by other properties in the
vicinity with the same zoning.
(ECDC.)
4. The subject property is a small narrow lot that slopes to the
west significantly. On the site is an existing small resi-
dence. The Applicant is seeking a variance to allow a carport
to be constructed adjacent to the small residence. (Staff
report.)
5. Because of the steepness of the slope and the narrowness of
lot, the only reasonable location for the placement of the
proposed carport is on a plateau that is within the required
25-foot street setback. The Applicant desires to construct

CONCLUSIONS
1. The application is for a variance for a reduction of the
street setback on property located at 15714 - 75th Place West,
Edmonds, Washington. The specific request is for a reduction
of the 25-foot street setback to a zero -foot street setback.
2. The application satisfies the criteria for the granting of a
variance as set forth in Section 20.85.010 of the ECDC.
3. Special circumstances exist for the granting of a variance.
Because of the steep slopes on the lot and the narrowness of
the lot the Applicant is restricted in the placement of a
carport.
4. The granting of the variance is not the grant of a special
privilege. Other variances have been granted in the area
and another property has been allowed to be developed partially
in the right-of-way.
5. The granting of a variance will not be inconsistent with the
purposes of the zoning ordinance of the City of Edmonds and
in particular the RS zoning ordinance as set forth in
Section 16.20.000 of the ECDC.
6. The requested variance is consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan of the City of Edmonds and in particular the goals and
purposes as set forth in Chapter 15.20 of the ECDC.
