IIEARING G�I�h1INER DL•'CISZON <br /> RE: AP-N2-89 4/27/89 <br /> Page 10 <br /> 2 . The Everett Municipal Code (EMC) does not require notice be <br /> given to other property �wners of any requests for boundary line <br /> adjustments. No notice was required to be given to the Appellants <br /> of the Applicant' s request. <br /> 3. EMC 18 . 80. 010 provides property owners with standing the <br /> right to appeal preliminary determinations related to boundary <br /> line adjustment approvals. No appeals were filed within the ten <br /> (10) working days of the October 31 , 1988 Planning Department <br /> decision. <br /> 4 . At the conclusion of the ten (10) working days allowed for <br /> appeal of the October 31 , 1988 decision of the preliminary appro- <br /> val of the Planning Department granting the boundary line adjust- <br /> ment, the Applicant had a vested right to proceed under that <br /> approval. <br /> 5. The City' s reaffirmation, issue3 on February 3, 1989, of the <br /> preliminary approval for the boundary line a3justment was not <br /> necessary and only allowed a circumvention of the procedure in <br /> order to allow appeals after the appeal deadline had expired. <br /> 6 . The Hearing Examiner has no jurisdiction on the appeal <br /> because the appeal period has lapsed. <br /> II. BoundarY Line Adiustment <br /> 7 . Notwithstanding the above Jurisdictional Conclusions, the <br /> boundary line adjustment requested by the Applicant is consistent <br /> with the City of Everett' s law as set forth in the Hearing Exami- <br /> ner decision of June 3 , 1986. The lots created are certified lots <br /> even though they do not meet minimum lot requirements. <br /> S. Aecause the Applicant filed the application between the <br /> period of the Hearing Examiner' s June 3 , 1988 decision and the <br /> date of the City Council's passage of the ordinance allowing <br /> merger within the City of Everett, the Applicar.t has a vested <br /> right to the boundary line adjustment as approved by the City in <br /> the October 31, 1986 approval. <br /> 9 . No additional lots are created by the lot line adjustment. <br /> DECISION <br /> Based upon the preceding Findings of Eacts and Conclusions of Law, <br /> the testimony and evidence submitted at the public hearing, and <br /> upon the impressions of the Hearing Examiner at a site view, it is <br /> hereby ordered that the [iearing Examiner of the City of Everett <br />
