Box 21 Mukilteo, Wq ggz75 RE: Multipie Family Design Review of Proposed Four-Plex Iocated at 3826 Wetmore Avenue Dear Mr. Bolin: On January 19, 2001 you submitted a site plan for the development of a four-plex at the above address. Multiple family projects which contain over two units are subject to the multipie family development standards contained in Section 15 of the Everett Zoning Code. Planning Staff has reviewed the proposed four-plex for compliance with these standards; a summary of these findings is outiined below • Section 15.080.A req�ires pedestrian access be provided on site. The primary � entrence to a building which Faces the street, or for dwelling.units located on the ground floor whic�ti face the street shall be located on the fa�ade facing the street. Such entrances shali be prominent, visible from the street, and connected by a walkway to the public sidewalk. As shown on the site plan submitted, there is no entry to the units from the street side of the building. A prominent entry feature wiil need to be provided along the Wetmore Avenue frontage; stainvells enclosed within a structure are not considered to be prominent entry features. A sidewalk shail also be provided U•tiich will allow for access from the building to the existing sidewaik on Wetmore. • Section 15.090.A describes the fa�ade and roof line variations necessary for multiple family projects. Building facades which face tF,e street shall have windows and entries which face the street. • Section 1E.08C.8 states that lots which abut an alley shali be requirad to gain vehicular access from the alley. The driveway and garage entry should be relocated to access the ;ite from the alley. � Section 15.040.A requires that a minimum of 50 square feet of open space be provided per unit. This open space shall be provided in a courtyard, and be accessible, convenient, and functional to residents of the complex. As show� on the site plan submitted, the open space is accessed off of the rear. This location does not appear to be functional. It should be relocated to a more suitable location on site. If approved by Planning Staff, the open space requirement may be reduced by half, when located adjacent to the front or street side setback and visible from the street.
