PLANN/NG iINO ?au/A Roberts COAlMUN/TY DEf�ELOPMENT D�rector March 18, 2004 3��G O�"�� Bill Steffener C/o REMAX Northwest 2917 Pacific Avenue Everett,WA 98201 , RE: 1818-34`"Street/3400 Oakes Avenue Development Dear Mr. Steffener: This letter is in response to your recent conversation with City staff and information you have provided to the City. The subject property is zoned R3 Medium Density Mullipie Family. The R- 3 zone allows for a building density potential of 1 unit per every 1,500 square feet of land area. In order for a duplex lo be constructed on site the lot would need lo be a minimum of 3,00^o��'�a feel in area. On July 2, 1985 the Ciry of Everett approved a Nonconforming Building C'•.:; ! .;,;�..•, (NCB#7-85)for the subject property. The information provided by the owner at the tir+�E �aaa !'�.::. lhe lot was 25'wide by 119.87'deep for a total lot area of 2,996.75 square feet. A site pian wa� provided wilh the application, which documented the lot dimensions as well as the building setbacks on site, which have been eslablished as legal nonconfortning. The property dimensions provided by the owner at this lime are consistent with the infortnation contained on lhe oric�inal plat map on file with the City, which is available to review at our office. The Metroscan Property Profile you provided our office does provide information which states that the lot area is 3,049 square feet in area. However, there is a disclaimer contained on the Metroscan profile, which states the following: "Infortnation compiled from various sources. Real Estate Solutions makes no representations or warranties as to the accuracy or completeness of information contained in this report" If you believe the information contained on the original plat map is inaccurate, then you may provide the City with a record of survey,which demonstrates the proper lot dimensions. Since the information available to lhe City represents the lot as being only 2,996 square feet in area, ihe maximum density permitted on site is a single-family residence. The R-3 zone does not allow for commercial uses. If you feel the activities on site are of a commercial nature and date back to December 1, 1956 then the City could look at processing an application for a nonconforming use. If you have any questions about the contents of this letter, or you would like to discuss the nonconforming status of lhe existing structure please feel free to conlacl me at (425)257-7281.
