FINDINGS OF FACT 1. Arturo Nicasio Juarez and Elvia Nicasio(Respondents)are the owners of property at 2330 Melvin Avenue SE,Everett, Washington(subject property),which is in an R-2, Single- Family Detached Medium Density zone.

(Exhibit#12, Snohomish County Assessor's Record, dated October 19, 2022 with structural information) (Exhibit#13, Go Sync Map) (Testimony of Code Enforcement Officer Cunningham) 2. Following a referral from City of Everett Permit Services about work done without permits, City of Everett Code Enforcement Officer Don Cunningham researched available public records and determined that prior to the Respondents' purchase of the property in 2015, the residential structure had been heavily altered from a single level, 800 square foot single- family residence (SFR)with two bedrooms,one bathroom, and an unfinished basement to a two story, 1,800 square foot structure with four bedrooms,two bathrooms, a covered patio and rear porch addition. The alterations to the SFR included: new electrical wiring, plumbing, drywall,and insulation. The previous owner had applied for and was issued a building permit(B0803-041) in 2008 to replace and extend a patio roof, but the permit expired without receiving final approval. Permits were never gained for the rear porch addition,which is evident in a comparison of 2001 and 2020 aerial photographs of the property. The Respondents had applied for and were issued an electrical permit(E2004- 090) in 2020 to provide electrical service to a detached gazebo in the rear yard;however, this permit expired and the work was never finally inspected.
