I3or. 509, LvcretC, Washington 9820G Pursuant to my conversations with your staff regarding the eight (8) unit apartment house at 330G I�oyt in Everett, we are requesti.ng a variance from the required 1'p spaces per unit to 1 space per unit. Our goal is to provide small, efficient, inexpensive and convenient housing for the elderly citizens of Everett. Our reasons for this request- ar.ise out of forty (40) years and three (3) generations of family experience with over 200 apartment units in L-he Greater Everett ar.ea, with a third (1/3) devoted to the elderly. The reasons we need this variance are as follows: 1. The building consists of one (1) bedroom - 500 square fooL- units designed for the eldcrly and similar in design and purpose to these success- ful project5: the two (2) - eight (8) unit bu�ldings at 9122 and 9Z26 tloyl-; the sixteen (16) unit project at 3327 floyt l�venue, both projects requiring similar variances. 2. Our experience indicates tliat clearly one half (1/2) of these citizens neither own nor drive a car. This fact becomes more prevalent the closer they live to Downtown. Essentially by providing 1, spaces per unit, we reduce our ability to landscape, increase the problem of parked unuseable cars, R.V.'s, boats, etc. and likely changing our tenant mix from cldcrly to youngcr liXtIIBIT 3 NARRATIVG STATlih1ENT
