Morgan: /�/ As you are aware, the City of Everett has been conductin9 an Environmental Check- list Revie `o o construct a 12 unit, 3 story addition to the oxist g 747 apartment complex ocated adjacent to Deverly L�ke in South Everet•.. The rev ' has been completed and it has Ucen determined that the current sitc plan which has been submitted is u�acceptable. The city will be unaUle to grant Duilding Permits for this propo=al. This determination was made on the basis of information generated during r�ur revicw of your environ- mental checklist, including several site inspecCiens and specific comments sub- mitted by ceveral City departments. Copies of these conunents are included for. your information. Substanfive authority to deny or condition an action is granted the responsible official (the Planning Director) in Section 16 <�L Ordinance 5�2-79, the City'� implenentiny ordinance for the State Gnvironmencal Policy Act. The denial is basr_d on specific adverse i.mpacts which would occu�- if khe project were to be imT�le- mented. I'i.�dings regazdin9 these adverse impacts are listed below: Thc Ci.ty of Everett requires all new develcpm�nt to mect appropri.atc naCion,�1 fire st�ndards which ir.cludes fire access standards in Section 13.208a as follows: "Every building hereaftet wnstrucCed shall be accessiUle to fir�• departtnent apparatus by way of access �roaiways M•ith all-w.:3ther driving surf�c�• of not less than 20 feet of unobstructed widCh, wit:h adequate turning radius ca�ablc of supporting thc ir.posed loads o£ firc aPpzrat:us and having a ninimu�� of 13 feet 6 indies of vert:ical clearance." Field mcasurements have indicaY.ed an approximately 12 ft. wide accecs curreuCly exisCc to thi� site (mea_;ured from property line fence to Che face of e�:i�ting patio fencing attached �o the apartment structures). Provisi.on oC a 20 ft. wide a:cess a•ithin the existinq property Hculd result in the elimination of subscai�cial rock�:ries, landscaping, and paCios from tiie existing aparCment compleX. The resulting access road would pasc withJn five fect of t:he taindows of tLc exicting 9roun�l level units. Variance from the requirements of the uniform fi.re code is allnwable o�ily for singlo family develogment N•hich a�ould allow a mor.imum of cnc �3u��lex buildi.nct on this site.
