STAFF FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS: A. Description of the Subject Property and Surrounding Area The subject property is an 11,600 sq. ft. lot located on the northeast corner of 216th St. S.W. and 90th Ave. W. The existing residence was built in 1955 and was a legal residence at that time. Subsequently, in 1956, the neighborhood was annexed into the City and the zoning regulations changed over the years making the home a nonconforming structure as to its street and side setbacks. There is a small existing older single family residence located on the property. Surrounding development is entirely single family residential. B. Official StretL Mak West - 90th Ave. W.

Special Circumstances Special circumstances appear to exist in this particular case. The house when it was built was a conforming structure. The need for the variance is necessitated through the change in zoning regulations. 2. Special Privilege The proposed variance does not appear to represent a grant of special privilege. The addition will conform with current zoning regulations. 3. Comprehensive Plan The Comprehensive Policy Plan map designates the subject property as Low Density Residential, as are all the adjoining properties. The proposed variance 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-8. The proposed variance does not appear to conflict -with the purposes of the zoning ordinance or the RS-8 zone district. 5. Not Detrimental The proposed variance does not appear to pose any significant impact to the public or to any near by private property or improvement. 6. Minimum Variance The requested variance does appear to represent a minimum variance request. V. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that V-6-86 be approved as it conforms to the requirements of Chapter 20.85.010 of the Community Development Code. q PLEASE PRINT YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS BELOW IF YOU WISH TO -SPEAK ON THIS ITEM AND/OR WISH TO RECEIVE A COPY OF THE HEARING EXAMINER'S FINDINGS OF FACT V-6-86 FRANK GAZEWOOD Variance to allow improvements to a nonconforming structure to exceed the 25% limitation to allow an addition to the resi'dence at 21529 90th Ave. W.

INTRODUCTION Frank Gazewood, 21529 - 90th Avenue West, Edmonds, Washington, 98020, and hereinafter referred to as Applicant, has requested approval of a variance to allow improvements to a nonconforming structure to exceed the 25 percent limitation. The specific request is to allow an addition to the residence at 21529 - 90th Avenue West, Edmonds, Washington, and more particularly described as: Rosewood Block 000 D-00, Lot 10, Snohomish County, Washington. A hearing on the request was held before the Hearing Examiner of the City of Edmonds on April 3, 1986. At the hearing the following presented testimony and evidence: Duane Bowman John A. Bauer Planning Dept. 4801 Aurora Ave. No. City of Edmonds Seattle, WA 98122 Edmonds, WA 98020 At the hearing the following exhibits were submitted and admitted as part of the official record of these proceedings: Exhibit 1 - Staff Report it 2 - Application/Declarations to 3 - Building Plans If 4 - 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 application is for the approval of a variance to allow improvements to a nonconforming structure to exceed the 25 percent limitation of improvements for a family -room addition to the residence located at 21529 - 90th Avenue West, Edmonds, Washington. The subject property is more particularly described as set forth above. (Staff report.) 3 Findings and Decision of the Hearing Examiner( the City Of Edmonds Re: V-6-86 Page 2 2. The subject property is an 11,600 square foot lot located on the northeast corner of 216th Street S.W. and 90th Avenue West, in the City of Edmonds. There is a residence located on the lot. The residence was constructed in 1955 and at the time of construction was a legal, conforming structure. In 1956 the property was annexed into the City of Edmonds. Due to the zoning regulation changes the residence on site has become a nonconforming structure as to street and side - setbacks. (Staff report.) 3. It is the intent of the Applicant to improve the residence by the addition of a family room. The proposed improvement would be on the eastern portion of the existing residence and would be a 300 square foot family room. (Staff report and Exhibit 3.) 4. Section 17.40.020 of the Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) sets forth the regulations for nonconforming buildings. Section 17.40.020(B) of the ECDC sets forth the restrictions in the maintenance and alterations of nonconforming buildings. Included in this subsection is part 4. which states that the cost in any one-year period of maintenance and alterations allowed by this section may not be more than 25 percent of the fair market value of the nonconforming building. It is from this section of the ECDC that the Applicant seeks a variance. (Staff report and ECDC.) 5. The most recent assessed valuation of the residence on the subject property was $37,700.00. It is the intent of the Applicant to improve the value of the structure by 31 per- cent, or approximately $10,000-00- In order to do so the Applicant must obtain a variance. (Bowman testimony.) 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 satisfied. 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, Findings and Decis.Lon of the Hearing Examiner of the City of Edmonds Re: V-6-86 Page 3 F. 'The variance must be'the minimum necessary to allow the same rights enjoyed by other properties in the same zone. (ECDC.) 7. At the time the structure was built it was a conforming struc- ture. Because of the annexation of the subject property and the zoning changes over the years a variance is now required to improve the property beyond the 25 percent limitation. These are special circumstance necessitating the granting of a variance. (Bowman testimony.) 8. A variance will not represent the grant of a special privi- lege. The proposed addition will satisfy all other zoning standards of the City of Edmonds. (Staff report.) 9. The Comprehensive Policy Plan Map designates the subject pro- perty as Low Density Residential. The requested variance does not conflict with the purposes of the Comprehensive Plan. (Staff report.) 10. The subject property is zoned RS-8. The surrounding pro perties are also zoned RS-8. (Staff report.) 11. The requested variance will not pose any significant impact to the public, or to nearby private properties or improvements. (Staff report.) 12. The requested variance is the minimum necessary for the Ap- plicant to properly develop the property. (Staff report.) 13. The Planning Department of the City of Edmonds recommended approval of the variance. (Bowman testimony.) 14. No adverse testimony was received in this matter. CONCLUSIONS 1. The application is for the approval of a variance to allow improvements to a nonconforming structure to exceed the 25 percent limitation of improvements for an addition to a residence located at 21529 - 90th Avenue West, Edmonds, Washington. 2. Because the Applicant proposes to provide alterations to the existing nonconforming structure on site and because these alterations exceed 25 percent of the fair market value of the nonconforming building, a variance from Section 17. 40.020(D)(4) of the ECDC is required. 3. In order for a variance to be granted within the City of Edmonds the criteria as set forth in Section 20.85-010 V. 11 a Findings and Decis --on of the Hearing Examiner of the City of Edmonds Re: V-6-86 Page 4 of the ECDC must be satisfied. The application satisfies these criteria. 4. Special circumstances exist for the granting of a variance. Because the structure was originally conforming and because annexation and zoning changes have rendered it nonconforming the Applicant must now seek a variance. 5. The granting of a variance will not be the grant of a special privilege to the Applicant. 6. The granting of a variance does not conflict with the purposes of the Comprehensive Plan of the City of Edmonds, or the Low Density Residential designation of the subject property. 7. The property is zoned RS-8 and the requested variance conforms to the zoning code of the City of Edmonds and particularly the RS-8 zoning designation. 8. The requested variance will not pose any significant impact to the public, nor to nearby private properties or improve- ments. 9. The requested variance appears to represent the minimum variance request. 10. The Planning Department of the City of Edmonds has recommended approval of the variance. DECISION Based upon the preceding Findings of Fact and Conclusions; the testimony and evidence submitted at the public hearing; and, upon the impressions of the Hearing Examiner it is hereby ordered that the requested variance be granted. The specific request is to allow improvements to a nonconforming structure located at 21529 - 90th Avenue West, Edmonds, Washington, to exceed the 25 percent limitations of.improvements for an addition to the residence and is granted subject to the following condition:: 1.

FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The Applicant has requested a variance to allow a proposed free- standing sign at the Edmonds Cemetery on the southwest corner.of 15th Street S.W. and 100th Avenue West, Edmonds, Washington, to exceed the permitted height and area requirements for signs within the City of Edmonds. (Staff report.) 2. The subject property is zoned RS-20. Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) 20.60.040(D)(2) allows freestanding signs in RS zones to have a maximum height of 3.5 feet. ECDC 20.60.040(B) allows freestanding signs to have a maximum area of 10 square feet. The Applicant seeks a variance from these two standards. (Bowman testimony and ECDC.) 3. The Applicant is seeking a variance to allow the freestanding sign to be 5 feet in height and 10.3 square feet in area. (Bowman testimony.) 4. In order for a variance to be granted within the City of Edmonds the criteria as set forth in ECDC 20.85.010 must be satisfied. 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. ) 5. The proposed freestanding sign will.be used to identify the -2- L1 HEARING EXAMINER RE: V-2-87 cemetery. The cemetery is below the street grade of 100th J�' Avenue West and is not easily located. The proposed freestanding sign will help identify the cemetery. (Staff report.) 6. The Comprehensive Policy Plan Map designates the subject pro- perty as Low Density Residential. The adjacent areas to the north, east and west are also designated as Low Density Residential, and the area to the south is designated as Commercial/Business. (Staff report.) 7. The subject property as noted is zoned RS-20. The areas to the north, east and west of the subject property are RS zoned properties and RR 8400 zoning. The commercial area to the south is zoned BN. The requested variance will not conflict with these areas. (Bowman testimony.) 8. The proposed variance does not appear to pose any significant impact to the public, nor to nearby private properties or improvements. (Staff report.) 9. The variance appears to represent the minimum variance request. (Bowman testimony.) 10. The Planning Department of tlYe City of Edmonds recommended approval of the variance. 11. No opposition testimony was*received in this matter. CONCLUSIONS 1 The application is for the approval of a variance for the allowance of a freestanding sign to exceed the standards as set forth in ECDC 20..60.040. Specifically, the request is to allow the height of the sign to exceed the minimum height of 3.5 feet by an additional 1.5 feet, and the area of the sign to exceed the 10-foot miiiimum area by an additional .3 feet. 2. The criteria as set forth in ECDC 20.85.010 have been reviewed and the proposal satisfies these criteria. 3. Special circumstances exist for the granting of a variance. Because the cemetery is a City landmark that must be identified, the proposed sign adequately provides direction to the location of the cemetery. This is a special circumstance warranting a variance. 4. The granting of the variance will not be the grant of a special privilege. 5. The requested variance will not conflict with the purposes of the Comprehensive Plan of the City of Edmonds. 6. The requested variance does not conflict with the purposes -3- HEARING EXAMINER RE: V-2-87 of the zoning ordinances or the RS-20 zone district where it will be located. It will provide a non-residential use which will complement and be compatible with single-family dwelling uses. 7. The requested variance will not be detrimental to the public nor to nearby private property or improvements. 8. The requested variance is the minimum variance request. r% Im /I Y C, Y.-% N1 Based upon the preceding Findings of Fact and Conclusions; the testimony 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 Applicant be granted a variance to allow a freestanding sign at the Edmonds Cemetery on the southwest corner of 15th Street S.W. and 100th Avenue West to exceed the permitted height and area requirements.

FINDINGS OF FACT 1. on February 20, 1987, the Applicant was granted a variance to allow a free-standing sign at the Edmonds Cemetary on the southwest corner of 15th Street SW and 100th Avenue W to exceed the permitted height and area requirements. The variance that was granted was subject to the following conditions: 1) The maximum height for the free-standing sign shall not exceed five (5) feet. 2) The maximum area for the free-standing sign shall not exceed 10.3 square feet. 2. Subsequent to the hearing, the Applicant discovered an error in the original application. The Applicant has indicated that the area of the sign requested was 10.3 square feet, when in fact he had intended to apply for a sign of 20.3 square feet. As a result -the Applicant requested an amendment to the original variancb. 3. The original Hearing Examiner packet was admitted as Ex- hibit 3 to the hearing, and the Hearing Examiner's deci- sion was admitted as Exhibit 4. A complete review of these documents has been made in light of the requested. amended variance and it is determined that the amendment does not significantly change any of the findings crr conclusions that were reached in the original decision. 4. The requested amendment is consistent with the original conclusions and decision and it does, in fact, satisfy all of the criteria as set forth in ECDC 20.85.010. 5. No adverse testimony was received at -the hearing. - 2 - -2-87 HEARING EXAMINi RE. v CONCLUSIONS 1. The application is for approval of an amendment to a variance. The original variance granted was for the allowance of a free-standing sign to exceed -the standards as set forth in ECDC 20.60.040. The specific variance granted has been identified in the findings. 2. The criteria as set forth in ECDC 20.85.-OlO have been reviewed and the proposed amendment satisfies these criteria. 3. The satisfaction of the criteria as set forth in the con- clus,ions of the original variance approval are applicable to the amended variance request. Based upon the preceding Findings of Fact and Conclusions; the testimony and evidence submitted at the public hearing; and upon the impressions of the Hearing Examiner at a site view, it is ordered that the Applicant's original variance of February 20, 1987, be amended. The amended variance allows a free-standing sign at the Edmonds Cemetary, southwest corner of 15th Street SW and 100th Avenue W to exceed the permitted height and area requirements. The amended variance is granted subject to the following additions: 1. The maximum height for the free-standing sign shall not exceed five (5) feet. 2. The maximum area for the free-standing sign shall not exceed 20.3 square feet.

Mr. Scott Chapinan Gentlermn: On January 13, 1987 we mt,to discuss how power could be provided by the City to the school sign. Through our discussion there were two way§,in which the City could do the work. One way was to get a variance to go overhead and the second way was to bore under the street. Upon review of both options the variance would be tlie most cost effective and would create less complications and da:mage to other facilities. I have filed for a variance through t:he Community Services Director, Mr. Peter Hahn. It requires that we post the area for 10 days to allow public input before we start work on the project. If no protest is received we will have the work scheduled to start inm-ediately. Should we meet with protest we will look at the second option of boring under the street. The cost-cestimate for each is as follows: Option #1- Obtain Variance to go Overhead Materials: 14-5 50 Cord 150' @ .85/ft. 82.50 1 breaker - 15 amps 6.00 cable ties 6.00 conduit - 1/2 gal. - 40 ft. 16.00 2 electrical boxes @ $1.00/ea. 2.00 GrIC 12.00 Cord 3.00 Plug 5.00 photo cell 15.00 nlisc. 10.00 NET AMOUNT $157.50 SATES TAX 12.29 TOTAL FOR NATCRIALS $1.69.79 PUBLIC W013KS PLANNING PARKS AND RECREATION ENGINEERING Variance January 28, 1987 Page 2 Labor: 4 manhours @ $20.00/hr. $ 80.00 Vehicle Rental - 4 lirs. @ $6.00/hr. 24.00 Overhead on Labor - 20% 16.00 Total Material Cost from pg. 1 169.79 TOTAL COST ESTIMATE - OPTION 1 $289.79 Option 2- Bore Under Street Material: 80 ft. 1 1/2" conduit PVC @ $1/ft. $ 80.00 Materials listed from Opt. 1 167.79 Labor: 32 manhours @ $20.00/hr. 640.00 Vehicle Rental - 8 hrs. @ $6.00/hr. 48.00 Compressor Rental - 8 hrs. @ $4.00/hr. 32.00 Bore Hog Rental - 3 hrs. @ $30.00/hr. 90.00 Overhead on Labor - 20% 128.00 TOTAL COST ESTIMATE - OPTION 2 $1,185.79 I realize that the cost estimate for option 2 is very high, but the estimate is fairly accurate as this would Lx-� an extremely hard job to do. This cost could go higher if the Lx)r:e cam up through the asphalt or dove deeper which would force us to dig up the street. We could possible break or cut through a utility which would drive the cost up even higher. It's for t:hese reasons that we recommend option 1 and will proceed with seeking a variance. We will tie into the electrical meter at the crosswalk for the sign lighting. The City of Edmonds pays $12 - $14 every two months for this utility and we would require Woodway High School to pay 50% of the utility bill for the number of months the sign is in use. If you should have any questions please contact me at 771-3202, ext. 296. In the meantime �,A- will 1--.eelp you 1-10tified on the status of the requested variance. Sincerely, BOBBY R.

This request was routed to me by the Mayor. In a recent meeting with Mrs. Kathy Parker and student body representative Scott Chapman from Woodway High School, I explained the procedure of undergrounding and that it was a requirement by the City of Edmonds and also the alternative of going overhead. The cost estimates for both are attached. Chapter 18.05, section A -III of the Edmonds City Code covers the requirements for this project. We are proposing an increase of the present cable size by more than 10%. We are going from a 3/8" to a 5/8" cable. Section 18.05.010, pg. 124 A-1 will be complied with. The extension from the city light to the school light will be made underground. The existing cable and wire are both 3/8" each. The new wire would replace the 3/8" wire, which has only one pair of wires when two pairs are needed to provide one leg to the school light reader board. I hereby req I uest a variance to replace the existing cable which will allow Woodway High School to tie into our service by extending the existing service underground to their sign. The Woodway High School A.S.B. will pay all expenses for this project. /cr 61-11V C^44�- Attach.

Hardship is created due to the ravine which is located to the south and west of our 1:roperty. Our house is now situated where sane yard is usable. 2. How does your property differ from other property in the same vicinity? Ravines are common to this area. However, in 1948 when our house was built it was built where its located because at that time there was no road to the north side of it. The road ended at our driveway. �3. Will this variance be detrimental to the public or damaging to other property or improvements in the vicinity? The variance we are requesting does 1,1ot pertain to the public and there is no damaging effect to any of our neighbors. out of the nine property owners listed adjacent to our Froperty;six have been contacted and are all very much for our plans - Some have written letters which are enclosed with this material. The other three neighbors were not home. 4. What hardships will result to you if the variance is not granted? Will these hardships have been caused by your own action? If the variance is not requested we will not be able to being our house up to cD toda�s standards. Our home now remains a single -glazed non -energy efficient, non -insulated structure. These hardships are not caused by our own action. 5. Can you make reasonable use of your property without the variance? We cannot make reasonable use of our property without the variance due to the afore meintioned ravine situation. Our request does follow the City of Edmonds requirements in all ways. 0 OLTMAN RESIDENCE 176th St. SW, Edm. Variance Requested - Set -Back Variance: Existing home is located 7 1/21 from street or north side of property line. Home was built in 1948, existing lot conditions (ie) ravine to south and west; existing place- ment of home to allow maximum usable yard. Home is last structure on street end of 176th St. SW south side. Before 1975 the street end was at the home dkiveway, development of the north side of 176th St. SW moved the street end approximately 751 to the west. The 176th St. SW address was annexed into the City of Edmonds approxi- mately 11 years ago. lie are now subjected to the City of Edmonds requirement for a 25' set -back from the road. our request takes into account these procedures, we wish to remodel our home Our plans show and will conform to the City of Edmonds building code requirements. clearly our intent only to build within the 251 set -back. Given the formula for average height requirements our project will not exceed the maximum allowable. We are limited to developing our project in the area shown by the afore mentioned ravine situation common to this area. After consulting with our neighbors there is a positive attitude since our project would niether block or impair anyone since our home is of 1948 vintage it remains to this date a single glazed non -energy efficient, non -insulated structure. The remodel will give us the opportunity to bring the home up to todays standards besides upgrading the neighborhood.
