BEFURE THE EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL
Applicant: Larry Nordby, Request for Variance File No.: V-94-125
UICMODUCTION
Loren Nordby (hereinafter referred to as "Appellant"), 23901 - 76th Avenue West, Edmonds,
Washington, appealed the decision of the Hearing Examiner issued on August 31, 1994
denying the Appellant's request for a variance to reduce the street setback from 25 feet to 71/2
feet in order to construct a 14-ft. x 20-ft. detached garage on property located at 23901 - 76th
Avenue West, Edmonds, Washington. I
A hearing on the request was held before the Edmonds City Council at the City of Edmonds,
Washington, on October 18, 1994. The City Council's decision is based upon the record of that
proceeding and the record of its Hearing Examiner.
FINDINGS OF FACT
I . The Appellant is Loren Nordby, and the subject property is located at 23901 -
76th Avenue West, Edmonds, Washington. The property is zoned Single Family, Residential,
RS-8, and is legally described as follows:
LK Ballinger Land Co. Subdiv. I BLK 006 D-02
Space 65 ft. of E 125 ft. of LT 4.
2. The Appellant requests the City Council overturn the decision of Hearing
Examiner, James Driscoll, that was issued on August 31, 1994, denying the Appellant's
application for a variance. The requested variance was for the reduction of a required 25-foot
street setback to one of 71h feet. Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC), 16.20.030,
sets forth the 25-foot street setback. The variance request was made for the purpose of
developing a 14-ft. x 20-ft. detached garage on the subject property.
3. ECDC Chapter- 20.105 allows the Edmonds City Council to dec* ide upon appeals
to decisions made by the Edmonds Hearing Examiner. ECDC Chapter 20.105 requires the
Council to consider the appeal on a de novo basis including review of the record. The Council
shall review the proposal using the same criteria and findings set forth in the ECDC for the
original decision.
10127/94
PA086387. I SX/FO006.150.071
4. In order for a variance to be granted within the City of Edmonds; the criteria of
ECDC 20.85.010 must be satisfied. A summary of these criteria is:
A. - Because of the 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 limitation 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 of
the rights enjoyed by other properties in a vicinity with the same zoning.
5. The sub ect property is a flat parcel of land that is landscaped with ornamental
vegetation. It is a 62-ft. x 125-ft. parcel that is developed with a single family residence. There
is an attached single family garage on site. The lot is of a type commonly known as a flag lot.
6. It is the intent of the applicant to develop the detached garage for the purpose of
storing a boat and yard tools.
7. The City of Edmonds Planning Department submitted that no special
circumstances exist for the grant of a variance. According to the City, the property is
comparable in size to other properties in the area and has a flat topography. No unique qualities
exist.
8. The City submitted that the variance would be the grant of a special privilege
b e*cause other properties of comparable configuration and zoning designation have the same
developmental limitations.
9. The City submitted that the requested variance is not the minimum necessary for
the applicant to develop the property in a manner similar to other properties. According to the
City, the garage can be located at the front of the property where it would be more than 15 feet
10/26/94
PA086387. I SX/FM. 150.071 2
M
from the existing house. Further, the City submitted that the existing two -car garage can be
used for storage purposes. This garage can be used for storage purposes while still satisfying
parking requirements.
10. The applicant submitted that he would suffer a hardship if the variance is not
granted. Without the proposed structure being built, he will not have a covered area for his
boat. The applicant submitted in this application that he did not "feel" that he can make
reasonable use of the property without the variance. In t ' he applicant's letter of appeal, the
applicant stated that in order to place the proposed garage at the ' front of the property as
suggested by the City, the applicant would have to remove a 30-year-old dogwood tree.
Placement of a garage in this location would also create access problems with the existing
garage. The applicant also asserted that a two -car garage is not adequate for parking two cars,
storing an antique automobile, a boat and yard tools. Finally, Appellant submits that no variance
is required. Because the lot is a flag lot without actual street frontage, Appellant asserts that the
lot has no required "street setback. "
11. Staff responds that the Code has been uniformly interpreted to require all single
family residential lots exop comer lots to have a street or front yard setback, or rear yard
setback and two side yard setbacks. See ECDC 16.20.040(E). This interpretation was
confirmed in written form in about 1991 and has been uniformly applied to require a street
setback of all lots. Flag lots owners are permitted to designate a front yard or street setback at
the date a building permit is submitted. The requested variance would be within an area
previously designed as the appellant's front yard.
CONCLUSIONS
I . The appeal requests reversal of the Hearing Examiner's decision to deny approval
of the variance for the reduction of the street setback for the property at 23901 - 76th Avenue
West, from 25 feet to 71/2 feet. It is the intent of the applicant to use the reduced street setback
to construct a detached garage. The criteria for review of Hearing Examiner decisions are set
forth in ECDC Chapter 20.105 and have been identified in Finding No. 3.
2. The applicant has failed to satisfy the criteria for a variance.
3. Special circumstances relating to the size, shape, topography, location and
surroundings of the property do not exist. The requested variance would not be consistent with
other properties of similar design and configuration. All other flag lots are uniformly required
to comply with front yard setbacks. The variance would be a grant of special privilege since
the need for boat storage is not something related to the relevant characteristics of the property
and relates to circumstances personal to the owner.
10/26/94
PA086387. I SX/FO006.150.071 3
4�
4. There appears to be adequate room for storage on site. There is already a two -car
garage. With the addition on the garage the applicant would be granted a privilege that the other
property owners in the area do not have.
5. The requestedvariance is not the minimum necessary to allow the applicant the
rights enjoyed by other property owners in the vicinity.
6. The variance as approved would be significantly detrimental to the public health,
safety and welfare because it could create an exception for all similarly situated properties and
thereby impinge upon necessary open space for the City of Edmonds.
DECISION
Based upon the preceding Findings of Fact and Conclusions and the testimony and evidence
submitted at the public hearing it is hereby ordered that the decision of the Hearing Examiner
for this case issued on August 31,.1994 be affirmed. The reasons for this decision are set forth
in the Conclusions in this document as well as the Findings.
ENTERED this 4th day of November 1994, pursuant to the authority
granted the City Council under ECDC Chapter 20.105.
