On August 5, 1992, the Appellant made a building permit application for an 840 <br />square foot addition to the building on-site. The proposed improvements, as <br />submitted by the Appellant, are expected to be $33.799. This is less than 50% of <br />the fair market value of the property on-site as determined by the 1991 tax <br />assessment of the property. The 1991 tax assessment on the property is $219,200. <br />5. The City of Everett Rublic Works Department decided that street improvements are <br />hould ha�e been madean 1989 a d mu t nowlbe made wi h the 1992 Provements <br />improvements. <br />6. The City submitted that EMC Chapter 13.68, the enabling legislation for street <br />improvements, does not have an expiration date for compliance. It was the City's <br />argument that because the City failed to require the initial street improvements <br />during the 1989 remodel, they can be required with the second buildinn permit. <br />7. The Appellant submitted that the fair market value of the property in 1989 was much <br />greater than the assessed value as determined in 1987. The Appeilant submitted a <br />statement from the Baytown Escrow Company indicating that in 1989 the subject <br />property sold for $392,455.07. According to an escrow statement submitted by the <br />Appellant, the value of the property should be based on the total amount paid for the <br />site. (It is noted that the le�al description of the property that is identified in the <br />escrow statement is not the same legal description as the property that is identified <br />in the 1989 construction permit.) <br />•���_ • <br />A 0�a 1. The Hearing Examiner of the City of Everett has jurisdictional authority to hold a <br />hearing and to issue a decision on this administrative appeal. <br />�` 2, Street improvements are required in the City of Everett for any additions, alterations, <br />��+► or repairs within any iwelve-month period which e:xceeds 50% of the current market <br />value of an existing building or facility on the property. This is required pursuant to <br />EMC 13.68.020. <br />���1. <br />3. The City has not proven the fair markeC' value of the property as of October 31, <br />1989. The City relied upon 19871ax assessments but did not provide updated <br />values resulting from appreciation of the property for 1989. <br />4. The Appellant submitted that th2 property value exceeds the tax assessment for <br />1987. The difficulty with the Appellant's information is that the escrow statement <br />that he provided was not applicable to the subjer,t property. <br />
