na�r�r nrtarT ni�nrT <br />I{ennetli Carpenter <br />G427 Beverly Lane <br />�verett, Washington <br />Dear Mr. Carpenter: <br />On the �Jtl� day of NovemUer, 1970, you were issued a building <br />permit No. 12202 Uy the City of �verett Building Department giving <br />permission to erect a 72 ft. ham radio tcwer. On DecemUer 22, 1970, <br />Mr. James Davidson filed an appeaL beiore the City of �verett Board <br />/ <br />of Adjustment of the City Building Inspector's determination to grant <br />a building permit for the ham radio antenna tower.' On January 4, 1�J71, <br />at a hearing Uefore the City of �verett Board of Adjustment the Bosrd <br />of Adjustment made the following determinations: <br />1. The property is in an R-2 Zone where the height <br />of a building is restricted to 35 ft. <br />2. That Section 15. 04. 030 :B' (22) of the City of �verett <br />Zoning Code does not provide an exception for ham radio <br />antennas and tliat tlie terms "chimneys and steeples" in <br />aesthetic <br />15. 04. 030 B(22) are architectural appendages <br />and antennas are not. Thus, ihe code does not provide <br />any exc��ptions to height ]imitatic,r_s except as to such things <br />as are generically similar to chimneys and steeples, which <br />in the Board's interpretation, ham radio antennas are not. <br />Since the City of �verett Board of Adji:stment has determined that ihe City <br />Builrling Inspcctor's interpretation of the z oning code regarding issuance <br />of Permit No. 12202 is contrary to the tercns of tlie zoning code , <br />and hence illegal, and since Section ll5. 04. 360 of the City of �verett <br />Zoning Code grants the Board of Adjustrr<ent po�ver to reverse any <br />interpretation, order or determination of the City of �verett Building <br />Inspector, I am required to advise you tliat Permit No. 12202 is hereby <br />r�voked and that aince the Perinit has been determined illegally issued� <br />it is void,without legal effect,and has never conferred any legal rights <br />upon the permittee. <br />Ycura very truly, <br />iiie�f�uil in� ris°pector <br />cc, Prank Bennett, S�:cretary, �verett Bca rd of A�justment <br />
