MERRICK LENTZ ARC CT November 29, 1994 City of Everett Planning Department Land Use Section 3002 Wetmore Ave. Everett, WA 98201 Variance Request Narrative Statement: The owner of the Taco Time Restaurant located at the South East corner of 38th Street and Rucker Avenue is requesting a zoning variance. If granted, this variance would allow the owner to remodel and upgrade the existing building. This in turn will provide the city and the surrounding neighborhood with a more attractive, more successful restaurant. Key to the remodel effort is the addition of a drive through service window. A drive -through window will provide increased convenience for the restaurant patrons. In addition, drive -through service provides the safest, most convenient method for persons of disability to visit the restaurant. This project is located in a B-2 zone. Residential property is situated to the east, on the far side of an existing alleyway. These home owners have built sight obscuring fences that block the view of the Taco Time. This proposal meets all requirements of the current zoning code except for the drive through lane location and the location of the order station. Holding space for I I vehicles are proposed but this requires that the drive through lane to be closer than 100 feet from the adjoining residential property. A 5' high, sight obscuring fence is proposed along the top of the rockery that currently exists along the east property line of the restaurant. This will further mitigate the possible impacts of headlights from vehicles waiting in the drive through lane. Specific variance ple;nts: A. the swrrance will not be materially detrimental to the property in the area of the subject property or the Oty as a whole. Granting this variance will enable the owner to provide drive through service at the Taco Time Restaurant. In addition, remodeling the restaurant will provide a more attractive, convenient facility.
