Site Description The proposed property is a 0.36-acre lot(Parcel 004336-000-052-04)located at 3615 Geyer Lane in Everett. Access to the lot is over an existing driveway that is largely located on an easement not currently owned by the Filippovs. Parcel 004336-000-052-06 (0.24 acre), an adjacent lot, is also owned by the Filippovs; however, the proposed project does not extend to this lot. The properties were previously developed to a home site. The home burned in May 2014. The property was purchased by the Filippovs in December,2015.
