19727 15th Ave. iQ.C1. <br /> Seattle, [Ja 98177 <br /> Sune 13, 1986 <br /> City of Everett Planning Commission <br /> � � � � 8 � � � <br /> City Ha11 <br /> Everett, i�a 982G1 JI;N 2 8 1986 <br /> appea'. ietter: CITY OF E'• ���TT <br /> Planning DePt• <br /> I 'm appealing from the city' s administrative decision based on Everett <br /> :iunicipal Code ( E.bI.C. ) 19.70. 020 as amended which determined that the <br /> Board of Adjustmcnt' s order dated `�[arch 11 , 1968 allowing a duplex on my <br /> lct at 20a D:agnolia, Everett, SJa, was no longer effective. <br /> I respectfully ask that the Board' s order of �farch 11 , 1968 be re- <br /> instated �or the following reasons : <br /> I purchased this property with the understanding that I could build a <br /> duplex on it, and the variance zras then obtained. City officials did not <br /> inform me that there oras any time limitation, nor does the Boar�' s order of <br /> March llth contain any indication that there i.s a time limitation. I had <br /> no idea there �oould aver be any change in the terms of the order. I noia <br /> understand that the ordinance oras anended in 1984, but there ought to be <br /> some "grand father" rights that are excluded. <br /> Because of the adverse economic conditions following m� purchase of <br /> the property, my building plans were deferred. P7hen I applied for a build- <br /> ing permit, I �aas shocked to learn that the variance only lasted one year. <br /> I shc.ld point oi:t that the neighborhood remains essentially as it iras <br /> back in 1968, so a re-instatement of the variance would not adversely affect <br /> anyone. I sincerely believe a duplex on this property caould be a better <br /> use of the property than a single family home. The t�oography of the area <br /> and the presence of the Se�ae .r Department ' s lift station oniy about fifteen <br /> or tcaenty feet from the westerly boundary of my property make= �t some�ahat <br /> undesireable for a tamily home; consequently it is better suited for rental <br /> property. <br /> A den;al of my aZ peal coould saork a real hardship on me �aithout any <br /> real benefit to anyore else. <br /> I appeal to you on the basis of fairness and equity to re-instate the <br /> variance to per7it constructior. of a duplex on my property. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> Alfred Norby <br /> EX�#lB 6T � 3 <br />
