• C� PLANNING DIRECTOR DETERMINATION Review Process 11 E13-98 INTRODUCTION: The City of Everett Planning Department received an application from Kathy Sedy, 11511 Marino Ave, Everett, WA 98204 for an approximately 10 foot by 20 foot two story addition to the existing single family residence which is located only 3 feet from the north side property line. The new addition will have the same setback from this north side property line as the existing house. The existing residence was originally constructed in 1910 and has been certified as a legal non -conforming structure. Section 38.040 allows for the Planning Director to permit the expansion of a structure which does not meet required setbacks or height, provided that the expansion does not make the setback or height more nonconforming; that the expansion complies with all other requirements of the zoning code ordinance; and that the nonconformity has been certified by the Planning Department. BACKGROUND: The property is located in the R-2, Single Family Residential Zone. The typical required setbacks from the side property line is 5 feet. The existing residence is located only 3 feet from the north side property line. It was originally constructed in 1910 according to the Snohomish County Assessor's records. The zoning code requirement for a minimum 5' building setback for structures from a side property line became effective December 31, 1956. FINDINGS: The existing residence does not meet the required 5 foot setback from the north side property line. This structure's setbacks have been certified as legal nonconforming setback (NCB #13-98). The applicant proposes to add on to the residence with the same setbacks from the north property line with no further encroachment. DECISION: The Planning Director has determined to allow for the proposed addition with the following conditions: Necessary building permits are to be obtained from the City of Everett's Building Department prior to construction. Right to Appeal: The applicant or ownar of property located adjacent to the subject property or any property owner who deems himself aggrieved and will thereby suffer a direct impact from the proposal may appeal the Planning Director's determination as to whether or not the proposal should be permitted. Any such appeal must be filed within fourteen (14) calendar days of the date specified below. Appeal forms are available from the Planning Department and must be submitted along with the required filing fee.
