Curtis Thomson, attorney for the applicant, said the lot size is
50, x 110' and originally was two 30' lots. Ile said the sketch they
submitted with their application was in error in that it shows an
existing structure on this lot and the lot actually is vacant. He
had no rendering to display at -this time, saying the applicant had not
done any architectural or engineering work yet. He said the plan.was
to build two or three residential units in a duplex or triplex configura-
tion. 'He noted there was some question by an adjoining property owner
as to height and he said they would.have to comply with Code requirements.
He added that parking probably would come in from the alley.
he public
portion of the hearing was then closed. Mr. Hatzenbuhler commented that
a triplex would be in keeping with the surrounding area, and Mrs. Stole
noted that he was lacking only a very small portion of land. MR(_
JAMES A. ANDERSON - Variance from required total number of parking
spaces at 20822 76th Ave. W. (RML)
Mrs. Luster said the applicant was short one parking stall' There are
several large evergreen trees on the site that probably would have to
be removed if additional parking is required. The problem arose when the
applicant decided to move a fire hydrant which was planned for a planted
area. There was concern that it might endanger two large trees so the
decision was made to move it and in so doing a parking stall was lost.
Mrs. Luster indicated that one parking space had been approved by the
City although it was not a conventional parking space. On -street parking
is provided 200' from the complex which could alleviate any overflow.
Mrs. Luster recommended approval. The public portion of the hearing
was opened.
Don Westlin, architect for the development, said the site has a number
of existing trees including some evergreens up to 40'- 50' high. He
gave the same general explanation of how the .parking stall was lost,
and he said the site had 35 off-street parking stalls. The public
portion of the hearing was closed. Mr. Roy felt this sounded like a'
reasonable request. He said there is a lot of parking in. that area and.
he thought the request was worth granting to save a tree. MR. ROY MOVED,

The applicant was requesting a 9' variance from the required 25' setback. .
He wished to construct a carport attached to a house under construction.
The problem arose because of an easement onto his property. An 8''wide
access easement extends into the property for a distance of 16'. If the
variance were granted the applicant could build a two -car, carport in the
most accessible location on the property. The property slopes and it
might be difficult to locate a carport elsewhere. An adequate turnaround
area would be provided which would eliminate sight problems. Mrs. Luster
did not think it would.endanger the safety of others since the section
icant's
of the house and easement in question is located entirely on theapplicant's
that
property. She recommended approval. Mr. Roy noted that it appear
the proposed carport: was within the lines of the proposed house. The
public portion of the hearing was opened.
The applicant said the only people who might be concerned were his
neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Sharp, and he had discussed this with them and
they seemed to me amenable to the proposal. The public portion of the
