Wheeler ; P.O. Box 564 I Mukilteo, WA 98275 i hereinafter referred to as "Applicant." i For a varianco from Section 8, Front Yards, to allow construc- tion of a sinqle family structure on each of the followinq three parcels with a front setback leas than the twenty feet required by code. This same variance was qranted by the Board of Adjustment on June 8, 1988; however, buildinq ;�ermits were not obtained within one year of that date and so the variance expired. On the property commonly known as: Parcels 1 and 3 of BI,1� N8708115004 and Lots 37,38,�9 and 40 of Hewitt Heights Addi- tion, all on the south side of Anqle Lane. The Board oY Adjustment, followinq a public heering on said application held on May 7, 1990, and further havinq reviewed all Lestinony, mekes the followinq Findings, Conclusione and �rder: FIIODIIfGa l�w+ COIICL�4ION9: Critarion Ao. i• That the variance is necessary because of exceptional or ex- traardinary circumstances reqarding the size, shape, topography, or locetion of the subject property; ur the loca- tion of a pre-existinq improvement on the subject property thnt conformed to the zoning code in eftect when the improvement wes construct�d. i a. p�pq� The subject property c�nsists of three separate i parcels• with extreme topographic chenqes. Each of the three lots has a lavel area that varies from zero to twen- ty-nine feet so�!tri of tha edge of Angle Lane right of way. The remainder of the lots drop off rapidly to the bottom of a steep ravine. The Applicant is proposing to utillze the level area on the front of each lot to provide bearinqs for footinqs, garaqe slabs, driveways, and provide for off-street park- inq for two cars. Bocause of the extreme slope of the lots, it will be necessary to conatruct the homes on pil- ing foundations. Anqle Lane has 40 feet of right of way and the 30 foot street improvement utilizes only the northern portion of the riqht of ay, so there is l0 feet of unimproved right of way abutting the subject lots that will provide a set- back from the street if the variances are granted. b. Conclusion: There are unusual circumstances applying to the subject lot because of the topography and the fact that there is unused riqht of way on Anqle Lane.
