ITEti 6: Applicant: Robert La Grandeur 1213 Wetmore Everett, Washington 98201 Project Location: Lot 11, Plat of Nassau View Tracts Zonin : R-1 Variance Requested: Variance from E.M.C. 10.14.050(B) , Side Yards, to allow a zero-foot side yard on the north side where the property abuts unused public right-of-way. Pearl Maddy sunmiarized the staff report (see Variance File No. 40-86) and presented slides of the property. Pearl reported that she had received a phone caJ.l that afternoon from the person who own� the property to the north of this property. He is concerned because he was going to propose that the rest of the City ROW should be vacated. He hoped that tn=. vacated right-of-way would accrve to his property rather than � to Lot 11 �ince Lot 11 has already benefitted from some vacated right-of-way. However, this is a legal matter which this Board cannot address. In order for a street vacation to occur, 75$ of the abutting property owners must agree to the vacation. According to the City's property manager, approximately 50 feet of right-of-way abuts the property and wou'.d be eli.gible for vacation. About 20 feet of right-of-way was vacated and accrued to the subdivision at the time of subdivision. This area is steep and the City has no plans for a street there. Robert La Grandeur, the applicant of 1213 Wetinore, stated that this information concerning a possible street vacation was new to him, and that he was not aware that a previous vacation had accrued to the plat. Bill Lucas of 4002 Nassau Place, who lives directly across the street, stated that he has known Mr. La Grandeur for many years and he would make a good neighbor. He £eels the right-of-way would never be used. He favors the variance but he wants Mr. La Grandeur to remember that 15 feet is 15 feet. Burl Long, of 9100 N. Hollywood in Sremerton, the owner of Lot 18, stated that he had oic!ced up an application for a road vacation last week and he wi11 be submitting an application to vacate the northern portion of the right-o£-way.
