BOARD OF ADJUS7'!lI:NT FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND ORDER VARIANCE NO. 12-90 Based upon the written request for a variance from the City's zoning code by: Charles Pancerzewski P.O. Box 885 Mukilteo, WA 98275 hereinafter referred to as "Applicant," for a variance from 3ec. 8 of the Zoning Code, side setback, rear lot coverage, ac- cessory building lot coverage and bulkheads in setback areas, to allow an addition to an existing structure that was iurmerly used as a garage that has a zero (0) foot north side setback instead of the five feet required by code. The north side of the garage would be extended an additional six feet along the property line. on the property commonly known as: 3307 Federal (Lot 4, Block 785, Plat of Everett, Division H) The Board of Adjustment, following a public hearing on said application held on June 11, 1990, and further having reviewed all testimony, makes the following Pindings, Conclusions and ��rder: +j�"NDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS: �yterion No. 1• Tha1: the variance is necessary because of exceptional or ex- traurdinary circumstances regardinq the size, shape, topcyraphy, or location of the subject property; or the loca- tion of a pre-existing improvement on the subject property that conformed to the zoning code in effect when the improvement was con�tructed. %•- gindinqs: The ^ubject property consists of a single fami- ly residence ann a detached structure on a 25 foot by 120 foot lot. Both structures are non-conforming for side setback since they were constructed in t!ie early 1900's prior to our current zoning code requi=ements. The detached structure is in very poor condition and ap- pears to have been used as a garage at some time since it has a garage door; however, it is apparent that it has not been used as a garage for a considerable length of time. The applicant is proposing to renovate the house and qa- rage. As part of the garage renovation, the applicant is proposing to put in a cement floor and a foundation on the west that will be used as a bulkhead for a fill to make a level rear yard. The structure will be extended an addi- tional six feet to make a total garage length of 24 feet to provide a more adequate space for vehicles and some storage space. The six foot �axtension would have a zero foot side yard on the north side the same as the existing garage. b. Conclusions: The unusual circumstances applying to this property are the narrow lot width and the fact that there are existing structures on the site
