older homes due to short platting. Although exact measurements could not be obtained, some of the older homes have existing outbuildings which do not appear to meet current setback requirements.

Criterion No. 6: The need for the requested variance is not the result of a self-created hardship. a. Finding's: The applicant states that the need for the requested variance is not the result of a self created hardship. The spa is only being put in because their doctor recommended that his wife could be able to delay and reduce the effects of rheumatoid arthritis by "exercising" in warin water. Installation of a hot tub would have avoided variance needs but would not provide for "exercise" area. Given the size of the spa and the 30' length of the gas truck filling hose, the spa was placed facing north. To avoid all unnecessary heat loss, and exc.ss strain on the pumps, the boiler was placed in the only sensible place. There was really no choice for the boiler placement. b. Conclusions: The location of the propane tank is not the result of a self created hardship. Its location is restricted due to the limited access to the rear yard area and the needs of the re -filling and servicing trucks in addition to the Fire Department locational requirements. NOW, THEREFORE, the Board of Adjustment of the City of Everett does hereby order the requested variance be GRANTED.
