November 7, 1977 The regular meetinq of the Everett Board of Adjustment was held at 7 p,m, in City ttall Council Chambers, City Hall, Everett, Washington. Mr. Aussell presided; hfr, Kristiansen and Mr, Black were present; Mr. Herg and Mr. Haird were absent. .. Under old business, Ntr. Bliss Settergren was asking permission to construct a single family residence at approximately 4918 23rd Avenue W, and asking to build within ten (10) feet of the rear property line rather than the code,requirement of t�oenty-five (25) feet. Also permission to build within five (5) feet of the east side property line rather than the required seven and one-half (7-1/2) feet. Since Mr, Settergren's request at the October 3, 1977, meeting, some changes have been made. Fte is now requesting that he maintain his seven and one-half (7-1/2) foot side yard setback thereby meeting the code requirement, and also that he stay within fifteen (15) feet of the rear nroperty line rather than the twenty-five (25) feet tlie code requires. Chairman Russell asked that the minutes covering 67r. Settergren's request from the previous meeting be read. They were read and approved. Mr, Aplet represented bir, Settergren. tie presented to the Board prints showing the new location of the proposed residence and also the elevation shots which were rnquested from the previous hearing. He stated that the variance they were requesting aC this time was less tl�an they had requested before and also that they felt there would be very little vicca restriction from the surrounding neighbors with this ne�r proposal. There was some oppositi�n from the audience and thcir main concern was the variance principle being used. They felt that the twenty-five (25) foot setback for a front yard should be maint.ained. Also they felt there should be more information on the elevation <_hots that were presented by Mr. Aplet. Mr. Aplet then explained further tt.e elevation shots that he had tkaen. This seemed to answer the questions of the. audience. With no further questions, the 3oard then went into session to mal:e their decision. After visually viewing the subject property and considering all Chz tacts and testimony, it was moved by [•Sr. Kristiansen, seconded by Fir. IIlack and unanimously carried to grant the variance as it meets the approval of Section 19.70.060 of the Everett Municipal Code which states 1. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances . applyin9 to the subject property that do not apply generally . to other properties in the same vicinity or zone. 2, That such variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the appellant possessed by the owners of other properties in the same vicinity, 3, That the authorization of such variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to pro�ertics in thc vicinity,
