PLANNING DIRECTOR DECISION REVII#13-017 September 9,2013 The City of Everett Planning Director grants approval of a request by Kevin Wilson to construct a 990 square foot detached garage up to approximately 20 feet in height with a roof pitch of approximately 3:12 at 1226 Kossuth Avenue with the following conditions: 1. Any change to the design, materials, and/or roof pitch of the proposed accessory building requires Planning Director approval. The height of the accessory building is limited to a maximum height of 20 feet. If over 19 feet in height, a height survey will be required. 2. A covenant acceptable to the City Attorney's office shall be recorded on the title to the property prior to issuance of building permits stating that the property owner acknowledges the requirements of EMC 19.07.020, and stating that the use of any accessory structure is limited to accessory activities permitted by the zone in which the property is located, and that the accessory building shall not be converted to living area or used for any purposes which are not in full compliance with zoning and building code requirements. 3. The garage's siding and roofing material must be similar to what is used on the residence. 4. The addition to the residence, permitted under permit#C1302-005, must receive final inspection approval by the Building Department in order to construct a footprint of over 885 square feet of accessory building space. Chapter 7 of the Everett Municipal Code (EMC) states that the Planning Director may look at such factors as view obstruction, aesthetic impact on surrounding properties, and impact on neighborhood character. The Planning Director allowed the garage to exceed the 15-foot maximum height limit by approximately four feet based on the following: The subject property currently has an 1180 square foot single family residence on a lot that is approximately 13,500 square feet in area. A 210 square foot addition to the single family residence has been permitted and is being constructed. Up to 1000 square feet of accessory building footprint is allowed with the new addition being constructed. The proposed garage will be located behind the residence and accessed by an existing driveway. The building will have a minimum roof pitch of 3:12 and will use roofing and siding materials similar to those on the house. The garage should not obstruct views.
