�: City of �erett Planning De�rt�n�nt V1IRIANCE APPISCATION STATET�IP 1. A�rariance of the 10 foot side set-back to a 5 foot side set-back due tn the fact that the lot is 25 feet wide. This variance �uld allow a 15 foot wide by 32 £oot garage. We would also need a variance of the free space of 50� in order to build this size garage. 2. Due to the fact this is a corner lot there are additional set-back requirmients. Most lots either are wider or 2 lots or already had garages built befere these r�uir.emerits.:bec�v� effective. 3. The ��ariance requestEd will not be detrimental to public welfare be- cause it will not be obstructinq any street exoess or view. It �.ould be located in the back of the lot on the alley. 4. If the variance is not grantecl, that wvuld prevent us fran buildi.ng a garage that is cost effective, a 10 foot garage c.vuld be more expen- sive to build because it �,ould have to be stick framed. That size �,ould not allow an additonal storage. A 10 foot garage sv�uld be very inadequate width to park and be able to use for storage. It would not be an asset, it would not be worth resale what it would cost to build. The exi:;ting house has no storage capacity. There needs to be stnrage added, In a neighborhood in the cit� itens need t�i be storecl behind closecl, 'locked doors to eliminate unsightly jimk piles and theft. Because the zoning has changed over the years fn�n 25 foot lots to larqer :it can be a real financial hardship on those people v,fio awn 25 foot lots and are restricteci fran sane of the benefits other people have. 5. There c,vuld be no imm�sistencies other properties have been granted variano� to build such structures.
