EN STAFF REPORT TO HEARING EXAMINER SUBDIVISION VARIANCE #20-86 Date: June 12, 1986 Applicant: Dick Maultsby 23607 Highway 99 Edmonds, WA 98020 Location: 6005 Broadway Proposed Action: Variance to Section 5.C.0 4)(d) of the Subdivision Code to allow two lots within a proposed short plat to have a lot depth of less than 120 feet fronting on an arterial street. Zoning: R-3, Multiple-Family Low Density Residential zone, minimum lot size 5,000 square feet. Exhibits: 1. Staff Report 2. Vicinity Map 3. Plot Plan, Proposed Plat 4. Narrative Statement FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS: 1. There are exceptional circumstances or conditions such as: locations of existing structures, lot configuration, topographic or unique physical features that apply to the subject property which prohibit the applicant from meeting the standards of this Ordinance and would result in a better design. Finding: The applicant states: The property encompasses six existing lots of the Replat of Pinehurst Division "A". Since recordation of that subdiv'.iion (1913), the Broadway right-of-way was deeded, and McDougal Ave. was vacated, rendering the existing lots essentially unbuildable under current zoning regulations. When those road changes were made, it was presumably anticipated that some reconfiguration of the old lots would occur. The proposed four-lot plan will allow a more practical and efficient use of the property. Conclusion: The present lot configuration does not allow for a subdivision which can comply with the lot depth requirements of the oubdivision code without sacrificing the quality of the overall project design. 2. The authorization of the variation or modification will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property in the vicinity or zone in which the property is located.
