IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION FILE: V-3-86
OF DAVID & RITA IRELAND FOR
APPROVAL OF A VARIANCE
DECISION: The variance is grantedsubject to
the conditions listed.
INTRODUCTION
David and Rita Ireland, 18905 - 84th Avenue West, Edmonds,
Washington, 98020, and hereinafter referred to as Applicants, have
requested a variance from the R-12 zone side setback standards
for property that is located at 18905 - 84th Avenue West, Edmonds,
Washington. The subject property is more particularly described
as:
Tract #10, Block 3, Oscar E. Jensen,
Seattle Suburban Tract, according to
plat thereof recorded in Volume 9 of
Plats, page 9, records of Snohomish
County, Washington.
A hearing.on the request was held before the Hearing Examiner of
the City of Edmonds on March 6, 1986.
At the hearing the following presented testimony and evidence:
Duane Bowman
Planning Department
City of Edmonds
Edmonds, WA 98020
Rita Ireland
18905 - 84th Ave. W.
Edmonds, WA 98020
At the hearing the following exhibits were submitted and admitted
as part of -the official record of t-hese proodedings:
Exhibit 1 - Staff Report
11 2 - Application/Declarations
of 3 - Site Plan
to 4 - Building Elevation
of 5 - Vicinity Map
After due consideration of the evidence presented by the Applicant;
evidence elicited during the public hearing; and, as a result of
the personal inspection of the subject property and surrounding
areas by the Hearing Examiner, the following Findings of Fact
and Conclusions constitute the basis of the decision of the
Hearing Examiner.
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The Applicants have requested approval of a variance from the
R-12 zone side setback standards for property that is located
a
.1
Findings and Decis( i of the
Hearing Examiner of the City of Edmonds
Re: V-3-86
Page 2
at 18905 - 84th Avenue West, Edmonds, Washington. Specifically,
the Applicants have requested a variance to reduce the required
10-foot south side setback to a 5-foot setback for the subject
property. (Staff report and Ireland testimony.)
2. The property is a 16,482 square foot lot that is located on the
east side of 84th Avenue West in the City of Edmonds. Located
on the property is an older,single-family residence with a
detached garage. (Bowman testimony and Ireland testimony.)
3. It is the intent of the Applicants to construct an addition to
the existing house. The proposal as submitted by the Applicants
would extend five feet into the allowed setback for RS-12 zoned
property. it is because of this extension that the Applicants
seek a variance. (Bowman testimony.)
4. 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 Edmonds
Community Development Code (ECDC) must be met. 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 propert-y or improvements in the vicinity of the
same zone; and,
F. The variance must be the minimum necessary to allow the
same rights enjoyed by other properties in the same zone.
(ECDC.)
5. The subject property and the surrounding properties are zoned
RS-12. (Staff report.)
6. The Comprehensive Policy Plan Map of the City of Edmonds desig-
nates the subject property as Low Density Residential. The
surrounding properties have the same Comprehensive policy Plan
Map designation. (Staff report.)
7. The Planning Department of the City of Edmonds submitted that
the proposed variance does not appear to pose any significant
impact to the public, nor to nearby private properties or
I

improvements. Further, the Planning Department submitted that
the requested variance appears to be the minimum necessary to
develop the property in a manner similar to other properties
in the area. (Staff report.)
8. The Planning Department submitted that the granting of a variance
will not be the granting of a special privilege because other
properties in the vicinity have five-foot side setbacks.
(Bowman testimony.)
9. The Planning Department submitted that they could determine no
special circumstances existing for the granting of a variance.
Howeverr the Planning Staff submitted that they would not op-
pose the variance request. (Bowman testimony and Staff report.)
10. The addition to the house is proposed to be constructed on the
south side of the subject property. It will be connected to
the existing kitchen and bedroom of the house on the property.
The proposed addition would be used for living and family -room
purposes. obviously, the proposed location is the most adequate
and efficient use of the existing structure on site. To place
the addition on the west side of the existing structure would
be placing the addition within the front setbacks and would be
an awkward improvement. To place the addition on the north
side of the subject property would effectively block the drive-
way to the garage. To place the addition on the east side of
the existing structure would create an abnormal design for the
house. Therefore, it appears that the only reasonable location
for the proposed addition is on the south side of the existing
structure. (Ireland testimony.)
11. No adverse testimony was received in this matter.
CONCLUSIONS
1. The application is for the approval of a variance to reduce
the required side setback for an R-12 zoned property located
at 18905 - 84th Avenue West, Edmonds, Washington. The specific
request is to reduce the required south side setback from 10
feet to 5 feet for the purpose of allowing an addition to be
constructed onto an existing residence on the property.
2. The criteria as set forth in Section 20.85.010 of the ECDC
are satisfied with the application.
3. Special circumstances exist for the granting of a variance.
Because of the small -�ize of the existing house and the size
of the lot, there is adequate room for the'addition to the
existing structure. However, the Applicants are limited in
the location of the proposed addition because of architectural
design and the location of the garage. Thus, circumstances
dictate that the most logical location of the proposed addi-
tion is on the south side of the existing residence.

Hearing Examiner of the City of Edmonds
Re: V-3-86
Page 4
4. The granting of a variance will not be the grant of a special
privilege to the Applicahts. Other properties in the vicinity
have similar setbacks.
5. The granting of a variance is consistent with the Comprehensive
policy Plan Map of the City of Edmonds that designates the sub-
ject property as Low Density Residential.
6. The subject property is zoned RS-12 and the requested variance
does not conflict with the purposes of the zoning ordinances
or the RS-12 zoned district.
7. The proposed variance does not pose a significant impact to the
public, nor to nearby private properties or improvements.
8. The requested variance is the minimum necessary forthe Appli
cants to develop the property in a manner similar to how other
property owners in the vicinity have done.
9. No adverse testimony was received in this matter.
DECISION
Based upon the preceding Findings of Fact and Conclusions; the testi-
mony and evidence submitted at the public hearing; and, upon the
impressions of the Hearing Examiner at a site view, it is hereby
ordered that the requested variance be granted. The specific
request is for a reduction of the side setback on property located
at 18905 - 84th Avenue West, Edmonds, Washington, and is granted
subject to the following conditions:
1. The south side setback shall be reduced to five feet.
2. The Applicants must secure all necessary building permits
and other permits prior to any construction on the subject
property.
3. The Applicants shall comply with all other zoning regulations
of the City of Edmonds.
Entered this 21st day of March, 1986, pursuant to the authority
granted the Hearing Examiner under Chapter 20.100 of the Community
Development Code of the city of Edmonds.
