<.,� <br />NARRATIVE STATEMENT <br />P.O. Box 509, <br />Everet�, Washington 98206 <br />August 7, 1987 <br />D�nnis Derickson, <br />Planning Dir.ector, <br />City of Eve'-ett, <br />City Hall, <br />Everett, Washington 98201 <br />SUB,TECT: Parking Variance <br />Dear Sir: <br />Pursuant to my conversations with your staff regarding the <br />eight (8) unit apartment house at 3306 Hoyt in Everett, we <br />are requesting a variance from the required 1'� spaces per <br />unit to 1 space per unit. <br />Our goal is to provide small, efficient, inexpensive and <br />convenient housing for the elderly citizens of Everett. <br />Our reasons for t?�ia request aris«� out of forty (90) yeax•s <br />and three (3) generations of family experience with over <br />2C0 apartment unirs in the Greater Everett area, witYi a <br />third (1/3) devoted to the elderly. <br />The reasons we need this variance are as foliow:;: <br />1. The building consists of one (1) bedroom - S00 <br />square foot unita designeci for the elderly an.d <br />similar in design and purpose to these succeras- <br />ful projects: the two (2) - eight (8) unit <br />buildings at 4122 and 4126 Hoyt; the sixteen <br />(1'0) unit project at 3327 Hoyt Avenue, both <br />proje.t:c requiring similar variances. <br />2. Otr experiencE: indicates that clearly one half (1/2) <br />of these citiz?ns neither own nor drive a car. ThiS <br />fact becomes more prevalent the closer they live to <br />Downtown. <br />Essentially by providing 1'� spaces per unit, cve <br />reduce our ability to landscape, increasc tY:e problem <br />of parked unuseable car=, R.V.'s, boats, etc. and <br />likely changing our tenant mix from elderly to younger <br />EXHIBIT 3 <br />NARFtATNL STATL•MGNP <br />
