nPr�i � , ��sa <br /> CITY OF EV�RETT <br /> Planning Department <br /> Land Use Section <br /> Dear Sirs : <br /> 1Ve are requesting a variance so we �nay add on a garage <br /> to our existing home. The proposed addition's N.E. corner <br /> tivould come ivithin 8 '8" of. the back property line (back line <br /> is radius) , and 8 ' 0" from *.he E. line . The existing house <br /> was built with a 10 ' 0" rear set-back, and since then , city <br /> set-backs have changed. Other residences in the immediate <br /> vicinity have similar set-backs due to the lack of depth <br /> in the properties . <br /> Acceptance of this request would enable us to park <br /> both our vehicles off the street , whereas at present , one <br /> car must be parked on 45th St:aet . <br /> 1Ye are a retired couple and realize that in time it <br /> may become increasingly more difficult to gain entry into <br /> our home walking up the slope from the road. Also , havino <br /> an attached �;arage would provide us with greater pe.rsonal <br /> safety and s�curity. <br /> One cannot help but see the advantages to the community <br /> and neighbors by having fewer cars parked on the road. This <br /> taould surely reduce the number of potential traffic accidents ; <br /> driver visiUility approaching Colby Avenue intersection via <br /> 45th Street would be greatly enhanced. <br /> Approval of this variance tivould not be ,ranting us a <br /> special priviledge nor caiise inconsistencies �aith other <br /> properties in the vicinity in which we live . Therefoxe , <br /> your thoughts and consideration in this matter will be <br /> greatly appreciated. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> / -. ` C.r� /� �< < <br /> ���.�X11 :�l.��/�.-C ( �-� -c l <br /> Theron Gilbertson <br /> TG : lc <br />
