Mr. Graff presided; Mr. Berg and Mr. Bartlett were prasent; Mr. Paird and Mr. Cronin were absent. A hearing was held on a request by Alber� Leettola, 3410 Mukiiteo Boufevard for a variance trom Sec. 15.04.075 E.C.C., R-5, Single Family Suburban Residential Zonz, Subsection E, front yard requirements for permission to construct a single family residence to within 25 feet of the front property line, The existing zoning pro- visions require a minimum of fifty-five feet from the centerline of the road right- of-way. The proposed residence will be forty feet. Legal Description: A short description of the property is "a portion of Lots 13 and 17, Block 4, Shore Acres Addii�ion to Everett, as recorded in Volume 8 of Plats, Page 32, Records of Snohomish County, Plash- ington. A more extensive metes and bounds legal description is �� available in the Communiiy Development Department files. (Board of Adjustmeni File No. 260.) Address: 5002 Alki Drive Mr. George Ridderbusch spoke on behalf of this request. He will buy the property from Mr. Leettola if the variance request is approved, lie has had a house designed for the ,j property and if the variance was not granted, he would have to build under existing �,. conditions which would either require a substantial rill of the property or the construction ot a three story building "do�vn in a hole", wnich the applicant feared may not meet the height requirements of th� zoning code. Mr. Ridderbusch did not feel that either of these alternatives would benefit the neighborhood. Mr. Graff as!<ed if th�re would be any excavation associated wiih the construction of the house. Mr. Ridderbuscli respanded by presenting a site and grading Ulan showiny the finished contours after excavation. The plans show the topography remaining very much the same. Mr. Fobert W. Hall, 4924 Alki, then spoke regarding this application. Ne first ques- tioned the clarity of the legal ad and notice of hearing. He said that it �aas diffi- cult to tell exactly what the variancewasfor Mr. Graff asked Mr. Shockey to read the legal notice. !The legal ad is quoted verbatim at the beginning of the minutes.) Mr. Hall then indicated that Alki Drive apparently ran over a portion of his property and was not lined up with the right-of-way. He was concerned with what effect this would have on the location of the Ridderbusch house, Mr. Shockey explained that this would have no effect since the measurement for the front yard set back is from the right-of-way line and not from the s+reet iiself. Therefore,•regardless of where the street was located o� the right-of-way the front yard setback would always be the same.
