Narrative Statement I i q , Parcel Map �I' BACKGROUND' I ' �� ' � � The Applicant has obtained building permits and constructed a Ifoundation for a single family residence on a 65 foot by 150 foot I �' Illot. In response to a request by a concerned citizen, an ; inspection was done by the Planning Department. It was found Ithat a tributary of North Creek runs along the north side of the '; property and the foundation did not meet the 30 foot setback from the edge of the stream as required by code. A Stop Work order was issued by the Buildinq Permit Department j I iThe site plan submitted with the Building Permit application did I not show the stream as required in the City of Everett Minimum Fequirements Checklist for obtaining Building permits. Building �, Permits would not have �een issued if the site plan had shown the location of the stream, and the Applicant would have been asked to redesign or apply for a variance prior to issuance of permits. I FrNDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS: i I �� Criterion No. 1: I� That there have been exceptional or extraordinary circumstances�, or conditions applying to the subject property or as to the in-� tended use thereof that do not apply generally to otherl properties in the same vicirity or zone. a. Findina: When obtaining the building permits the builder. was not aware that it was necessary to show the stream oni the site plan and was not aware of the 30 foot setback, requirement. The checklist for Building Permit Application has now been revised to require the signature of the applicant verifying that he has read the checklist and is aware of all the requirements. The Applicant states they have spent $30,000 to date on this project and conforming to the 30 foot setback ; requirement would make the lot unbuildable since the lot is 65 feet wide and a 30 foot setback on o[�e side and a six foot setback on the other would only leave a 27 foot wide area to construct a house.
