PLANNING DEPARTMENT <br />CITY HALL <br />EVERETT, WASHINGTON <br />I, Lawrence H. Wicken owner of Lots 1&2 and 3-6 Block 2 of the <br />Queen Anne Addition to Everett am requesting a variance to the <br />present height limit for a single family residence of 28 feet <br />to the 1987 height limit of 35 feet. <br />A. The reason for the variance request is because the lot <br />elevation is approximately 10 feet below road and bridge <br />level. The lot is directly South of the bridge which is <br />between Glenwood and Greely on Mukilteo Blvd. <br />B. This variance is necessary for us to be able to build <br />up so the living area won't be louking directly at the <br />side of the bridge. Also this will enable us to have <br />a partial view of the sound looking towards the North- <br />west, from the upper floor. <br />C. Allowing this variance will not block anyones view. <br />The view from our site is to the Northwest. Directly <br />to the North is heavily treed property belonging to <br />Burlington Northern Railroad. To the East is a steep <br />unbuildable Ravine. To the South is treed property <br />belonging to Frans Thuyns. I talked to Mr. Thuyns on <br />this matter and he is not opposed to our requested <br />variance. <br />D. To my knowledge this variance will not adversely affect <br />the comprehensive general plan. <br />EXHIBIT 3 <br />NARRATIVE STATEMENT <br />
