BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT FINDINGS� CONCLUSIONS AND ORDER � � VARIANCE N0. 4-86 ) Rased upon the written request for a variance from the City's zoning code, specifically E.M.C. 19.14.040, made by Fred and Idary HoNe at 3�16 Tulalip� hereinafter referred to as "Applicant", the Hoard of Ad�ustmen�, following a public hearing on said application held on April 4, 1986, and further having reviewed all testimony, makes the following • Findings, Conclusic- , and Order: Requested Action: A variance from E.M.C. 19. 14.040� Gross Floor Area Ratio The Applicant is proposing to demolish and then reconstruct a nonconforming one-story singla family residence. The eristing structure is nonconforming as to north side yard setback uhich is five feet instead of the required six feet� front yard setback which is 13 feet instead of the required 20 feet� and lot size which is 4,500 sq. :t. instead of the required 7�000 sq. ft. The applicant has applied for a Nonconforming Use Permit to allow the neN structure to be rebuilt on the footprint of the old structure on the north� east and west. The building would be extended seven feet to the so�th which would not increase the nonconformity of the building as related to front or side setbacks. A second story will be added, i+hich along with the added seven feet to the south will increase square footage of the residence from existing 1,000 sq. ft. to 2,360 sq. ft. (1,480 sq. ft. on the first floor plus an 880 sq. ft. second floor). An existing 3�2 sq. ft. detached garage will remain, which along with the proposed 2�360 sq. ft. residence totals 2�702 sq. ft. of gruss floor area. Dividing the 2,702 sq. ft. by the 4,500 sq. ft. lot area gives a gross floor area ratio of .60 instead of the .30 allowed by code. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS: 1. Th2t there have been exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applying to the sub,ject property or as to the intended use thereof that do not apply generally to other properties in the same vicinity or zone. Finding: The house is on a nonconforming lot of 4,500 sq. ft. instead of the 7,000 sq. ft. required by the current code. The applicant wishes to add a second story to take advantage of the view to the west. The second story would be within the 35-foot height permitted in the zone and it app=ars that it would not block anyone's �iew. Conclusion: The size oC the lot dictates the need for the variance.
