4. The floor area of the accessory dwelling unit shall not exceed 40% of the total floor area of the structure, or 800 square feet, whichever is less. The existing structure combined with the new addition is approximately 2,700 square feet in area. The proposed accessory dwelling unit is approximately 793 square feet in area. 5. The total number of persons who may occupy the principal and accessory dwelling units combined shall not exceed the number of persons that are defined by this Title as a "family". The applicant has stated that five persons are to be living on site, which falls within the City's definition of"family". 6. Three off street parking spaces shall be provided for the principal and accessory dwelling units. When the property abuts an alley, the off-street parking space for the swelling unit shall gain access from the alley, unless topography makes such access impossible. The new garage has the ability to park five cars, and there will be an additional parking stall to the east of the new structure for a total of six off street parking stalls on site. There is a topographical change between the grade of the alley and the subject site, which makes access off of the alley difficult. Upon review by the City it was determined that access off of Main street would be more appropriate for the proposal. 7. The single family appearance and character of the dwelling shall be maintained when viewed from the surrounding neighborhood. Only one entrance to the residence may be located on any street side. The subject site is a corner lot with street frontage on both S. 3rd Avenue (west side) and Main Street (south side). Access to the accessory dwelling unit will be taken from a stairwell located on the north side of the property. 8. Only one electric and one water meter shall be allowed for the entire structure, serving both the principal and accessory dwelling units. Permits to obtain additional meters are required prior to installation. Additional permits shall not be authorized for this site by the Planning Department. 9. The secondary and principal dwelling unit shall comply with all applicable requirements of the Uniform Building Code as adopted or amended by the City. Permits are required by the Building Department for any changes, alterations or additions to insure compliance with the Uniform Building Code prior to issuance. Prior to any new construction on site a building permit must be applied for and approved by the City of Everett Building Department. 10. The owner of a single family residence with an accessory dwelling unit shall file a Owner Occupancy Certificate no later than April 1st of each year. The owner has submitted an Owner Occupancy Certificate which will be required to be updated each year within the timeframe established above. 11. A permit for an accessory dwelling unit shall not be transferable to any lot other than the lot described in the application.
