We kiave entered into a purchaee and eale agreement for the purchaee of a home located at 2208 Rucker Ave. currently owned by Kenneth and Renee Petereon. They have allowe3 us some time to determine the feaeilbily of operati.ng the home ae a ^bed and breakfaet" facilty beginning thia summer. Our preliminary discueaione with city etaff hae uncovered that the property ie currently zoned R-4, which we underetand will allow outright the proposed uee. Our primary concern aeide from the zoning iseue ie to determine the types of requiremente which the City may require as conditions of operation. We are specifically concerned with iteme euch ae water and eewer, building code iteme, fire marehal requiremente or any other which we may be involved with from the City's perepective. i ahould also let you know that an in-ground awimming pool exista in the back yard and we are aware that the Dept. of Ecology covere health and eafety iseuea for public use of a pool. We will also handle food handling and preparation requiremente through the Snohomieh Health Dietrict ae we underetand they have juriadiction in these areae. Interestingly, the home was built in 1908 by one of Snohomiah' s pioneer familiea, the Blackmane. The top etory of the home containe four bedrooms which will be used ae guest rooms for the B�B. Main level includes an office, living and dining rooms uaed for guesta and food service. A kitchen area, bath and two additional bedroome are located on the main floor which will be used for our personal living accomodatione. The basement area will be reatored as a game room, entertainment center, exercise and sauna roome. A bath and sewing/laundry room also are located on this lower level. Accese to the pool area in the rear of the home is from this lower level (entertainment room) . The outaide pool area will be landscaped and made into a aummer time activity center for our family and gueate. The garage located in the back yard ie no longer functional and will be lowered and remodeled into a two car garage for ourselvea and will also aerve as a aun deck for gueate. Every effort will be taken to maintain the anc�itectural character of the hietoric home in the garage remodeling.
