Board of Adjustment Minutes February 4, 1980 Page 3 A hearing was held on the application of Robert Olson, 3408 Gorin Place, ver111 as ington or a variance rom ec ion 19.48.030 of the Everett Municipal Code, Conversions in an R-3 zone, 8.030 graph A, Requirements for Lot SPara- ize and Yards, for permission to allow a conversion from a duplex to a triplex on a lot width of 37h feet rather than the Code requirement of 50 feet, and a building that is two (2) feet from the north side property line rather than the Code requirement of five (5) feet. Also: From Section 19.48.030 of the Everett Municipal Code, Conversions, Paragraph D, for permission to provide four (4) off-street parking spaces for a triplex rather than the Code requirement of five (5) off-street parking stalls. Legal Description: Lot 24 and the south half of Lot 25 Block 433 Plat of Everett Address: 2118 Hoyt Zoning: R-3 Multiple Low Density Residence Mr. Olson represented himself and had the following statements to make: 1. There are many older homes in the area that have been converted to apartments. 2. The existing floor plan is obsolete now and the building is difficult to heat. 3. A triplex is more economically feasible with the alter- ations that need to be done to bring the building up to any type of safety codes. Some neighbors were against the granting of the variance for the following reasons: 1. The aforementioned dwelling is too cramped for three units and would cause overcrowding. 2. The houses in the area are older and built closer together and,even though the zoning is R-3 Multiple Family Low Density Residence and allows apartments, the houses are single family and duplexes. 3. There are security problems now and it seems that because Hoyt Avenue is a one-way street, there is more alley traffic which seems to promote more vandalism.
