SUBJECT: AV 92-1 - EDWARDS/AMOS ADMINISTRATIVE VARIANCE
During project review of the subject application, which was deemed complete on February 14,1992, the Planning Department has identified the following issues of concern
which must be resolved prior to scheduling the project for Planning Director decision:
1. The Edward's residence 6' masonry fence in the front yard setback exceeds the
maximum fence height of 42". Additionally, there is a motorhome (recreational
vehicle) parked in the front yard setback in violation of Chapter 21.44.06(2) of the
Zoning Ordinance (copy attached). Separate administrative variance applications
may be submitted for each of these violations, however, findings required for
approval of a fence variance include: 1) there are exceptional or extraordinary
circumstances or conditions applicable to the property or to the intended use that
do not apply generally to other properties in the same vicinity; 2) the requested
variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property
right possessed by other property in the same vicinity but which is denied to the
property in question; 3) the granting of this variance will not be materially
detrimental to the public welfare in which the property is located. Based on staff's
site inspection, these findings would be difficult to make since fences in the vicinity
appear to conform to the 42' maximum height standard and the 6 wall appears
to interfere with sight distance. These violations must be resolved through removal
or application for and approval of administrative variances for the fence and
motorhome prior to Planning Director decision regarding the subject request for
an administrative variance allowing a reduced side yard setback.
2. A conflict exists with the proposed boundary and sewer lateral serving Lot 720.
This must be resolved through a private easement prior to approval of an
adjustment plat.
In addition, the City may request, in the course of processing the application, that you
clarify, amplify, correct, or otherwise supplement the information required for this
application.
