T� BOARD �OF ADJUSTM�t4T raom R�ID H. SIIOCKEY OA7E JANUARY 6, 1975 SUOJECT STAFF REVI�f9--VARIANCE REQUEST CITY OF [VCRETT. EVLREIT. WASHINGTON DAVID BRANDVOLD--4900 VISTA PLAC� " (Page 3) • VII. STArF CObibfENTS: This request represents only one step idr. Brandvold must exercise in tlie develupment of this preperty. As r�quired by State law, the City must still revie�-� the proposed as a short plat before the parcel can be split ancl permits issued. In this regard there are several issucs �ohich must be discussed betcaeen the City and D1r. Brandvold such as utilities, drainage, dedications, etc. The one issue under the jurisdiction oF the Board is that of the easement for access to the mose westerly lot. 'P!iis Staff review is restricted solely to that suUject. All comr.ients received bacY, from City Departments indicated no proUlems with the eas�ment, per se. While the Staff is generally'opposed to random application of easements as a substitute for public streets, it would appear that a justi- fiable hardship er.i.sts, that being th� location of a house in the path of an extended Right oF Way along 49th Street. There must Ue assurances, ho�rever, that tl�e easement will alv�ays be open and unobstructed and that the most oresterly property is easily located ay emergency equipment.
