Based upon the written request for a variance from the City's zoning code by: � Paul DiBianco 3601 Upland Ave. Everett, WA 98z04 hereinafter referred to as "Applicant," for a variance from E.M.C. 19.12.050(A), Front Yards, to allox: an addition to an existing single family residence that will be 49•6 feet from the centerline of Upland Ave. instead of 55 feet as required by Code. I on the following described property I See Attachment "A" � � i i commonly Vmown as: 3601 Upland _ I I The Board of Ad�ustment, following a public hearing on said application held on September 8, 1986 and further having revieaed all testimony, makes the following Findings, Conclusions and Order: FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS: 1. That there have been exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applying to the sub�eet property or as to the intended use ithereof that do not apply generally to other properties in the same vicinity or zone. Finding: The R-S code states that the front setback shall be a minim� of 55 feet from the centerline xhen rights-of-way are less than 60 feet and one-half of the right-of-way plus 25 feet when rights-of-way are 60 feet or more. In this case� Upland Avenue has a 40 foot right-of-cray ahich would require that the house be 35 feet from the edge of the right-of-way. Most streets in the A-S zone have 60 feet of right-of-way whieh rrould requii•e the house to be only 25 feet from the edge of rigbt-of-way. The addition will be 29.5 feet from the edge of the right-of-way, ahich is still greater than that required in other R-S areas xhere the, �; right-of-iray is 60 feet. � i, � Since this is an addition to an existing structure, the area for� � expansion was limited. Had this been a vacant lot, a considerable� ' number of building/desiBi alternatives would have been available. The� lot is also sloped toxard the side and rear and this also placed some� restriction on the design and lecation of the addition. ! The prop�sed design and location of the addition alloWs for best use of; available space while preserving the best floor plan for the intended' use by the family. It also provides for ample yard area for childreni at the rear of the house which Was something the applicant was trying; to preserve and maintain. I I, i' I I
