43rd & WLBY PARKING VARIANCE REQUEST August 8, 1989 We the appellants p:opose to construct a 1250.8 square-foot additio� to our present 12,400 square-foot building at the Southwest corner oi 43rd E� Colby. The City of Everett zoning r_ode, secti.on 19.40.020, requires such building *.o provide a parking place for ev��ry 200 square feet of gross tuilding area. The site now has 63 p2rking spaces. With the proposed new addition the parking space requirement would increase to 68. We request a variance allowing redu_tion of this number to 63. A. There are exceptional and extraordinary circumstance:s which apply to this property which do not apply to other mr.dical office buildings. The first exception is �hat this addition is designed to simply increase the size of one of the six offices in the building. It is not intended to draw n new practice to the buil.ding and indeed the number of practices using the parking lot will stay constant. There is no reason to anticipate a marked increase in patient volume and cars parki�d and therefore there should be no change in parkin� space availability. The second exceptional condition is that the bulk of the doctors practicing in this building practice a highly specialized form of medicine. Enclosed you will find a list of the building 's or_cupants and the hours that they average in the office ner week. Please contrast Dr. Joseph Reichmann, a busy family practice doctor, who averages 30 hours per week in the office, Drs . Spencer, Vandree, Cramer and Holle are intensivists whose work I takes them almost entirely to the hospital where they take care of very sick patients. Dr. Dorsett Smith acts as a consultant in Pulmonary Diseases und his practice is largely given to the disability assessment of patients with chronic pulmonary diseases. � Drs. Coopez and Stack are urologists who spend considerably less than half time in the office practice. � I A new medical practice called Objective Medical Assessments, Inc. will be assuming an oEfice in the building shortly. Dick Nelson of the lJest:ake Office Tower, 1601-Sth Ave., Suite 1600, Seattle, WA assures me that there will be less than 10 patient visits to I this office per day. Thus, one can see that with the exception of � Joseph Reichmann, that the physicians occupying this building are I practicing very few hours at their offices. The third exceptional condition is that our parking lot is not very busy. Gnclnsed please find survey� taken at various times during the recent past to demonstrate that our lot is not over- utilized.
