SUBJECT: McLaughlin sidewalk waiver request
Joyce & Merle McLaughlin have requested a waiver from the requirement
for a sidewalk at their building site on lot two of short plat S-10-90,
located at t 69101174th St. S.W.
In order for a sidewalk waiver to be granted, one of the following must
be shown: (1) a traffic or pedestrian hazard; (2) a physical
limitation due to slope, surfacing water or other physical
limitations; (3) a situation in which future street improvements would
make this improvement unusable; (4) evidence that another solution is
preferable for the time being and will not interfere with future
installation of a sidewalk at this location.
In this case the requested sidewalk waiver meets the aforementioned
criteria (2) for approval, as follows:
1. Traffic or pedestrian hazard. The proposed sidewalk would not
interfere with, nor impede vehicular or pedestrian traffic.
2. Physical limitation. The terrain slopes down from the road
steeply. Due to this limitation, it is not practically possible
to place a sidewalk on the north side of the street.
3. Consistency with future street improvements. Future street
improvements would not make a sidewalk at this location unusable.
4. Evidence that another solution is preferable at this time. At
this time it is preferable to require the applicant to sign a
waiver of protest of an L.I.D. in order to insure that this
property joins an L.I.D. when that option becomes available. The
signed waiver of protest must be recorded with the Snohomish
County Auditor, and a recorded copy must be retue'rred to the City
Planning Division.
Conclusion:
The terrain of the property on the north side of 174th St. makes the
placement of a sidewalk in that location practically impossible. The
terrain of the south side of the street also prohibits a sidewalk.
Therefore, the sidewalk on the north side of the street is waived, and
it is not required that the sidewalk requirement be moved to the south
side of the street.
In order to insure that this property joins in an L.I.D. to install
sidewalks when this method becomes available, the owner must sign an
L.I.D.waiver of protest. The si'g-ned waiver of protest must be
recorded with the Snohomish County Auditor, and a copy of the recorded
document must be returned to the City Planning Department.
