� Board of Adjust�oent Meeting 1 ' January 11, 1982 Page -3- Item 2 - Culmback Bld�. Gerry Ervine reviewed the Staff Report as follows oii the application by Dale -� Miller, 1139 34th Ave., Seattle, WA 98122, for a Variance from Section 19.40.020 � of Everett AAunicipal Code, Off-Street Parking, for provision of 4 off-street parking spaces instead of the required 50 in conjunction with the renovation of the existing Culmback Bidg. at 3015 Colby Ave. Legal Description: Lots 8 and 9, Block 717, Plat of Everett. Address: 3015 Colby Ave. Zoning: B-3, Centra! Business zone The existing building is of historic significance and was constructed at the time when no off-street parking was required. it was built in 1924 and has functioned as a retail use without off-street parki�g for 56 years. The historic significance of the building is an extraordinary circum;tance that does not generally apply to other property in the area, and so the Variance is necessary for preservation and enjoyment of substantial property right. The Variance would not be detrimental to public welfare since the building has been in use for 56 years without a substantial impact on adjacent properties. The City's 1972 Halprin Plan calls for improving and utilizing structures of particular architectural and historic interest in the downtown area rather than removing them. I� Dale Miller, the applicant, spoke, saying his major concern is that in their � application they had asked for a variance of 0 parking spaces rather than the 4 parking spaces as contained in the staff report to the Board of Adjustment. The � plans they had submitted showing 4 parking spaces in the basement were conceptual only and they had found that they cannot get 4 legal parking spaces in that area. Mr. Miller has a purchase agreement on the property. David Branvold, the property owner, also spoke against requiring 4 parking spaces instead of the 50 as required by Code. Mr. Branvold also questioned Condition No. 6, that participation in the program to fund the North End sanitary sewer interceptor be required. Mr. Ervine responded that all new and converted buildings are required by City ordinance to pay for the new sewer interceptor lines, and that the condition was put as part of the Variance as a disclosure for the app!icant. Frank Wilson stated that since the varianca had been advertised for provision of 4 off-street parking spaces instead of the required SO, that was what the Board would have to rule on tonight. Mr. Zook made a motion to approve a Variance for 4 parking spaces rather than the required 50 with the Conditions as listed in the Board of Adjustment Report, and with the stipulation that the application fee would be waived if the applicant wishes to reapply for 0 parking spaces rather than the 4 as granted tonight. Frank Wilson seconded the motion and the motion was unanimously passed. The meeting was adjourned at 8:25 p.m. .r .� ^ �i ! i P '� � Dennis L. Derickson Secretary L J
