Del Russell, President Board of Adjustment Public Works Department GATE October 1, 1979 CITY OF EVERETT. EVERETT. WASHINGTON Item V, Agenda of October 1, 1979 Board of Adjustment Hearing Having received the Board of Adjustment package on September 26, 1979, for the Variance Hearing on a request at Lot 31 plat of Ibberson Park for a front yard variance of one (1) foot from public right-of-way rather than 20 feet as required by Code has not provided adequate time for the City to do an adequate review. City Records indicate that right-of-way shown on sketch to the South of Lot 31 is not a public right-of-way. Ownership of the property may be attached to Lot 31 or it may not be attached to Lot 31. In any case our records indicate that it is not public ownership and side yard set backs of five (5) feet would properly apply. Public Works does not object to a side yard set back variance from five (5) feet to one (1) foot. HOWEVER West Ibberson Road is the front yard side. Lot 31 is not a corner lot and the plans submitted do not reflect the proper set back requirement of 20 feet from West Ibberson. This point becomes critical when looked at from the prospective that the existing right-of-way width of West Ibberson is 20 feet. When West Ibberson is improved - - the minimum necessary street improvement will need to be 20 plus a pedestrian facility. Fire Codes require 20 feet of unobstructed improved access. City of Everett Ordinance 555-78 that requires every developer to provide for street improvements will require that this site dedicate additional property to the City (actual standard application would be 15 feet of new right-of- way required). Public Works will require five (5) feet, less than five (5) feet will require City Council approval. Ordinance 555 requires set back from the new property line. Using the set back from the new line will present some special problems for the developer of that lot and a request for a Variance would be supported by Public Works up to five (5) feet from the new right-of-way. Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board grant the one (1) foot side yard variance and the applicant submit a new variance request for West Ibberson Road set back.
