Public works Based upon the written request for a variance from the City's zoning code by: Arlene M. Mattern 6320 Wetmore Everett, WA 98203 hereinafter referred to as "Applicant," for a variance from E.M.C. 19.14.050 (B), Side Yards, to allow construction of a carport that would have a zero foot s.ide setback instead of the six foot s�de yard setback required by code. On the following described property: Lot 3 and Lot 38 of the Plat of North Beverly Park Commonly known as: 6320 Wetmore The Board of Adjustment, following a public hearing on said ap- plication held on October 2, 1989 and further having reviewed all testimony, makes the following Findings, Conclusions and Order: ��1;1�F1�[� . , � � , ' � �riterion No. 1_;, That there have been exceptional nr extraordinary :ircumstances or conditions applyinq to the sub��ct property or as to the in- tended use thereof that do not apply generally to other proper- ties in the same vicinity or zone. a. Findina: The property consists of an existing sirn3le family residence on two approximately 6200 square foot lots that are being use�i as one lot with Wetmore Avenue on the east and Bev- erly Boulevard on the west. The rear of the lot is sroz•oximately five to six feet below Beverly Boulevard �� it is not feasible to obtain access f.rom Beverly Boulevar.d. ":.�r_e are currently two paved driveways off Wetmore Avenue, one on �.he north side of the house and c•fie on the south side. The one on the south side was put in fo� the applicant's daughter and the one on the north side is used by the Applicant and she wishes to put a carport over the portion adjacent to �he back door of the house in or- der Y.o have protection from rain, snow or ice when going to her �ar. It is not teasible to put the carport in the rear yard because there is a t�ao to four foot concrete wall directly at the rear of the house which alsa extends along the north property line, so it is not nossibla to extend the driveway to that area with- out some extensive excavation and it also would not meet her purpose of being able to go directly from the house to the car- port in orra�r to avoid rain, snow and ice. b. ConcJusion: The unusual and extraordinary circumstances ap- plying to this property are because there is an existing house on the lot which limits the design possibilities for the carport and there are some significant topographic changes on the lot that limit the driveway access. In addition, the desired use is to have an attached carport in order to have access to the ve- hicle without going out in extreme weather conditions.
