U.S. West NewVector Group, Inc. SPU 17-91 and Variance 3-92 Page -10- 12. The utility facilities will be landscaped and screened to make the project compatible with other properties. 13. Utilities cannot be undergrounded. 14. The variance is required to exceed the height standards for the subject property. In order for the variance to be granted, the criteria of EMC 41.130.0 must be satisfied. These criteria have been satisfied. 15. Because of the location of the pole and the need to serve a portion of the City of Everett, the site is reasonable. Because of the elevation being higher than other portions of the City, the variance request is justified. 16. The variance will not be detrimental to the property in the area or to the City as a whole. 17. The variance will allow the property the same general rights enjoyed by other properties in the area. 18. The variance is a minimum variance request. The granting of the variance is not inconsistent with the goals and policies of the Everett General Plan. 19. The variance is not the result of a self-created hardship. 20. The environmental review of the project has been done separate from this permit process. DECISION Based upon the preceding findings of facts and conclusions, the testimony and evidence submitted at the public hearing, and upon the impressions of the Hearing Examiner of the site view, it is hereby ordered that the requested Special Property Use Permit for the construction of a 126 foot, self-supporting monopole steel tower for up to 12 cellular panel antennas; the construction of a 360 square foot maintenance/storage building; and the placement of a four foot diameter microwave dish at the 90 foot level of the monopole is granted. In addition, the Applicant is also granted a variance to allow the height of the monopole to exceed the maximum building height for R-1 zoned properties. These permits are granted subject to the following conditions: 1. Any grading/fill on this site shall be done so as to not impact the surrounding properties. Any fill within the City must be outside environmentally sensitive areas and must meet all the requirements of Chapter 37 of the Zoning Code.
