(Requirements e�zual to or less �han �h?sa are alread� in existance in s,�me Snohomish CuuntY developments) i.+) I feel that the �resent determinati�:n or th2 east border baing declarec�. the �ront of the aroae:t_ peaalizes lut 9 t�=cause there is no access available L•o the pr•o?ertY from this direction at all. Tlie ,�roposed road extension of :iarbeck Ava is �ust t.hat, oropos�d and non-asistatit `_� serva thi.s property. Public works inEormed me it had �p!o time t�ble for cnis road when T_ in�uired at the be7inning of 1987. ;�) Undar pressnt z�rii;ig �E RS. 12.SU0 s4 ieet of land is required for a resid�ntial lot. Lot 9 CORt31T�5 oniY 11.911 sq feet b>r_ausa part of it �.aas dadica�ed for the road ri.eht-�f-�.aay by a9reameut of the cit? and tiis �3eveloper. I was told b; a city plannine denartment employea �hat tnis pre;ented no problem, however, to obtaining a building permit be�aus•� the condition er.isted as a benefi� to t.he city. The problem :_*eated, h�w�ver, is that tha lot is alrea3y at 3i.ssdvantage by ha�•`�4 6£38 s4 feet less oY space than do all the o�her lots. (3) All other lots of Narback Park have a0 feet of road �ronta4e which allows a Elexibili.�: of home desi3n and access to �.hat homa. Lot 9 has aprroximatell ZO teet of sccessibility and zc thez land lockad on all remainin4 bordars. (9) This prop�rty is wt�si�.ie��d view pr�perty, as 3t'P. all the other 2cts of 'ha surroundi;x� area. f� 'I'o ta;;e advanta3e of the view, it :s nace�s:3rY r.o build ths iront orientation of the home facing Lhe north (,�r lown the atre�ti. If the gar:ge were to be placed to ba uaeabls from the a�cistin� a�proach as platted, and the axisting setback of. 25 Feet were rn=t, I:aould find the livin� part of my housa with verY little of che view (Pe;haps 100) left accessiple becaasa of �l:e a•c+stlr:a neusa cn lot 7. (5) After confnrring �uith the plannin9 d�partmenr_ Edrlier this Year I se� siiout to h3V3 a house 3esic7na� (3� $C@3C expense) and in the. most reasonable fashion, iwith t:�e l+vir.g areas in the view zor.e instead oF ths garay3). I arrived 3t an a3reement with ?9r. Bi�eloa, cha owner of iot 8, on �ranting an easement of in4re�s and egress over the drive area of his nr�perty. It was afr�r all of this had been und:rtak�n ? dis�ove:•ed that i had heen misinformed an mY previuus inauirY to thn piannins department as tr, the rear setback rectuirments for thls lot. i had Pre.vicuslY been in'rurmed C713L 20 feet was re4uired and was sub:.e�ue:r.tly to:.d "No. someone must 7ave madta mistake, it's �5 feet". This creates a ma7or problem as the house is now too lo�g. The other Nart of the problem with conformii:4 to the east setback of ZS f=et is th� curving lot li�ie created by the road right-oF-way. I am ia comoliance with it in the back, out noc in the fr�nt. (Please note alot map ror clarification of this point).
