Augus;t 7, 1987 <br />Denni.s Derickson, <br />Planning Director, <br />City of Everett, <br />City Hall, <br />Everett, SVashin3ton 98?.O1 <br />SOBJE'CT: Parking Variance <br />Pear Sir: <br />Pursuant to my conversations with <br />eight (8) unit apartment house at <br />are requesting a variance from the <br />unit to 1 space per unit. <br />P.O. Box 509, <br />Everett, 47ashington 98206 <br />your staff regarding the <br />3306 Hoyt in Everett, we <br />required 1'� spaces per <br />Our goal is to provide small, efficient; inexpensive and <br />convenient hcusing for the elderly citizens of Everett. <br />Our reasons for this request arise out of forty (40) years <br />and three (3) generations af family experience with over <br />200 apartment units in the Greater Everett area, with a <br />thirc. (1/3) devoted to the elderly. <br />The xeasons we need thi� variance are as follows: <br />1. The building consists of one (1) bedroom - 500 <br />square faot units designed for the elderly and <br />similar in design and purpose to these success- <br />ful projects: the two (2) - eight (8) unit <br />buildings at 4122 and 4126 Hoyt; the sixteen <br />(16) unit project at 3327 Hoyt Avenue, both <br />projects requiring similar variances. <br />2. Our experience indicates that clearly one half (1/2) <br />of these citizens 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, we <br />reduce our ability to landscape, increase the problem <br />of parked unuseable cars, R,V.'s, boats, etc. and <br />likely changing our tenant mix from elderly to younger <br />
