Fi��din s: The Everett General Plan designates this property as 1.7, Multiple Family, 30-50 dwellings per gross acre. b. Conclusions: The proposed use of the subject property for residential purposes is consistent with the Everett General Plan. Criterion No. 6: The need fur the requested variance is not the result of a sel(- created hardship. a. Fin_ dings: The applicant has stated that the proposed building site for the garage is an effort to make the best use of a very irregular shaped lot with topographical differences. The majority of the subject site is only 30 feet wide. The applicant has stated that if all required setbacks were met, the building envelope they would be left with would only be fifteen feet in depth. The City standard for a parking stall is a minimum of 8.5 feet wide by 18.5 feet deep. Several strr�ctures within the neighborhood as well as the existing single family residence on the subject site faii to meet current City standards reiated to setbacks. If the proposed residence were expanded, or an attached garage were proposed, the structure would be ailowed to be constructed along the nonconforming setback line, without further review from the City. The proposed one foot setback from the eastern property line for a detached garage is necessitated by the lot configuration and is not the result of a self-created hardship. b. Conclusions: The proposed garage is being located such to take into account the limited buildable area on site. Due to the nairowness of the subject site, the requested variance is not the result of a self created hardship. NOW, THEREFORE, the Board of Adjustment of the City of Everett does hereby order that the requested variance be APPROVED to allow for a detached garage to be located 1 foot from the street side property line. The action o( the Board of Adjustment in APPROVING a variance shali be finai and conclusive, unless within twenty-one (21) days from the date of decision an aggrieved person or persons obtains a writ of certiorari from the Superior Court of Washington for Snohomish County for the purpose of review of the action taken.
