Administrative Variance Report & Decision
LUAl5·000193, V·A
Page 2 of 7
The applicant, Eric Komarniski, is requesting approval of an Administrative Variance from RMC 4-2-llOA
in order to complete an addition to the existing single-family residence at 2121 Meadow Pl N (APN
0523059045). The proposal includes an addition to the front of the home that would encroach into the
front yard setback of the lot. The two-story addition, with a daylight basement, would be setback 13.35
feet from the north property line. The front yard setback is required to be setback a minimum of 25 feet
from the front yard (north propertly line) per Ordinance No. 5724 (Exhibit 6). The new addition would
comply with the side yard setback development standard on the west side of the lot by exceeding the
7.5-foot side yard setback requirement (8.51' setback from the west property line) of single-family
residences in the R-8 zone.
The existing single-family structure has the following approximate setbacks from the existing property
lines: front (north) 35 feet, side (west) 22 feet, rear (south) 18 feet, and side (west) 26 feet. The existing
home encroaches into the current rear yard setback of the R-8 zone.
The lot is one of four lots that maintain access by a private drive (Meadow Pl N). It is the furthest lot
from Meadow Ave N and is located at the end of the 400-foot private drive. On-site, there is a regulated
slope (>25% & <=40%) on the west third of the property that slopes to the west. The proposed 13.35-
foot front yard would face the side yard of the lot to the north (2719 Meadow Pl N).

2. South -Residential Single Family (RSF)
3. East -Residential Single Family (RSF)
4. West -Residential Low Density (RLD)
4-Zoning: The subject property is in the Residential -8 dwelling units per net acre (R-8) zone, which
is currently under interim zoning per Ord. No. 5724 and as amended by Cl-64 (Exhibits 6 & 7).
5. Topography: The site slopes to the west, and contains steep slopes along the west property edge.
6_ Lots and Building Size: The total area of the lot is 10,080 square feet and the finished building
size would be roughly 4,463 square feet.
I E-CONSISTENCY WITH VARIANCE CRITERIA:
Section 4-9-2508.5 lists 4 criteria that the Planning Director is asked ta consider, along with all other
relevant information, in making a decision on an Administrative Variance application. These include
the following:
The Planning Director shall have authority to grant an administrative variance upon making a
determination, in writing, that the conditions specified below have been found to exist:
1. The applicant suffers practical difficulties and unnecessary hardship and the variance is
necessary because of special circumstances applicable to subject property, including size,
shape, topography, and location or surroundings of the subject property, and the strict
application of the Zoning Code is found to deprive subject property owner of rights and
privileges enjoyed by other property owners in the vicinity and under identical zone
classification:
The applicant contends that special circumstances apply to the subject site as a result of the
location of the existing home to the four property lines and the private street. Setbacks required
in the interim R-8 zone are as follows: 25 feet front yard; 17.5 feet side yard along a street
(including access easements and increase to 25 feet per Cl-64); 7.5 feet side yards (combined 15
feet with not less than 5 feet on either side per Cl-64); and 25 feet rear yard. The front yard of the
subject property is oriented toward the north; two side yards are along the east and west sides of
the property; and the rear yard is located to the south. Therefore, the applicant is proposing to
reduce the required 25-foot front yard setback to 13.35 feet in order to keep the existing home
through a remodel rather than tear down the existing structure and construct a new home. The
applicant maintains that the main feature that the existing home lacks is a two-car garage. The
proposed plan includes an addition to the front of the house that would include a two-car garage
and some updating to the rest of the home. The applicant asserts that he wouldn't be able to add
a two-car garage without obtaining a variance from the setback regulations due to the current
position of the home on the lot; therefore, given the perimeters and existing conditions of the
site, applicant contends that the variance is necessary due to the parameters and existing
location of the home on the lot (Exhibit 3).

2121 MEADOW PL N SETBACK VAR/A
Report of June 9, 2015
Economic Development Administrative Variance Report & Decision
LUAlS-000193, V-A
Page 4 of 7
As part of the remodel and addition, the applicant is proposing to remove the existing carport
and shed located along the east side of the structure in order to balance the impervious surface
of the new addition.
Staff concurs that the location of the existing single-family home, in relationship to the
configuration of the lot, creates a developable challenge when making an addition to the existing
single-family home. An addition to either the front of the house or a Iterative in place of the
carport and shed on the east side of the home would be limited without a variance. In either
case, the only way the applicant would be able to meet the setback requirements of the zone
would be through a 10-foot wide addition to the front of the house (north elevation) or roughly a
600 square foot building footprint to the east elevation (upon the removal of the existing
carport). Because of the location of the existing home, staff concurs with the applicant that
special circumstances apply to the subject property by adhering strictly to all of the yard setback
requirements. The relationship of the single-family home to the existing property lines restricts
the size, placement, and orientation ofthe addition to the house. Requiring the applicant to
comply with the front yard setback regulations would impose an undue hardship on the
applicant. As part of the addition, the applicant would adhere to the side yard setback
requirements along the west property line.
2. That the granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or
injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which subject property is
situated:
The applicant contends that the proposed front yard setback would not be materially detrimental
to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and zone in
which the property is situated. The front of the proposed addition to the existing single-family
house would be 13.35 feet from the north front property line and 8.51 feet from the west
property line. The proposed 13.35-foot front yard setback would abut the side yard of the
developed property at 2719 Meadow Pl N to the north (Exhibits 2 and 3). The northwest corner
of the addition would maintain an 18-foot setback from the existing residence located to the
north. The applicant maintains that he has reviewed the proposed plans with the neighbors and
has not received any negative feedback prior to submitting the variance application.
Staff believes that this would provide adequate building separation between the proposed
addition and the existing structures. In the field, the separation between the two structures acts
more like a side yard setback, which requires a minimum 15-foot separation for new
construction. Therefore, staff concurs with the applicant that the proposal would not be
materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the
vicinity and zone.
No comments were received from neighboring property owner to the north. During the public
comment period, the applicant experienced a major sewer blockage that required the applicant
to dig-up and repair the sewer line from the asphalt road, west of the property line. At the time
of the sewer repair, the site received heavy rain causing residue to filter down the slope onto the
asphalt road. Public comment relating to this matter was received in the form of phone calls and
emails (Exhibit 8).
The R-8 interim zoning ordinance (Ord. No. 5724) also limits building coverage to 40% and
maximum impervious surface is limited to 55% of the site. Based on the applicant's site plan, staff
estimates the existing single-family building footprint at 1,403 square feet. The addition would

Page 5 of 7
have a footprint of roughly 1,030 square feet for a total single-family building footprint of 2,433
square feet (Exhibit 3). With overhangs, the area was calculated to be 3,014 square feet (30%).
The existing asphalt driveway adds roughly 1,674 square feet to the overall impervious area;
upon the removal of the existing carport and the shed, staff estimates the impervious surface to
be approximately 4,688 square feet (46.5%). As demonstrated above, it appears the proposed
development would comply with both the building coverage and impervious surface coverage
standards of the zone.
3. That approval shall not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitation
upon uses of other properties in the vicinity and zone in which the subject property is situated:
The applicant contends that the proposed front yard setback variance would not constitute a
grant of special privilege. With the adoption of the R-8 zoning, a majority of the existing homes in
the Kennydale neighborhood fail to comply with the 25-foot front yard setback requirement.
Therefore, staff believes that approval of a reduced front yard setback would not constitute a
grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitation upon uses of other properties in the
vicinity and zone. Front yard setbacks within the immediate vicinity are consistently less than the
existing 25-foot front yard setback requirement.
4. That the approval as determined by the Planning Director is a minimum variance that will
accomplish the desired purpose:
The applicant contends that the request for a 13.35-foot rear yard setback is the minimum
variance needed to accomplish the goal of constructing a future two-car addition to the existing
single-family residence.
While a house with a smaller building footprint would satisfy the required front yard setback, the
requested 13.35-foot front yard setback is the minimum variance needed to accomplish the
applicant's desired purpose of constructing an adequately sized addition to the existing single-
family house. Staff concurs that the variance request to encroach 11.65 feet into the front yard
setback is the minimum variance to accomplish the applicant's desired purpose and, therefore,
supports the variance for less than the required 25-foot front yard setback in the R-8 zone.
IF. CONCLUSIONS:
1. Zoning: The proposed addition would meet the development standards of the interim R-8 zone
with the exception of the front yard setback for which the variance from RMC 4-2-llOA (under
interim zoning Ord. No. 5724) is being sought.
2. Administrative Variance: The applicant's proposal for a 13.35-foot front yard setback meets the
four criteria to be considered in making a decision on a variance request as specified in RMC 4-9-
2508.5: (a) That the applicant suffers practical difficulties and unnecessary hardship and the
variance is necessary because of special circumstances applicable to subject property, including
size, shape, topography, location or surroundings of the subject property, and the strict
application of the Zoning Code is found to deprive subject property owner of rights and privileges
enjoyed by other property owners in the vicinity and under identical zone classification; (b) That
the granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to
the property or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which subject property is situated; (c)
That approval shall not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitation

upon uses of other properties in the vicinity and zone in which the subject property is situated;
(d) That the approval is a minimum variance that will accomplish the desired purpose.
3. Existing Surrounding Land Uses: The proposal will not result in changes to existing land uses
which are single-family residential to the north, south, east, and west. Several houses in the
surrounding area have been constructed with front yards less than the required 25-foot setback.
4. Topography: The subject property slopes to the west. Portions near the west property line have
slopes over 25%. The project would not impact any protected slopes or result in extensive
grading.
5. Building Proposal: The proposal would result in a future addition to the single-family house
which would comply with the side yard development standards of the zone.
6. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the requested variance from RMC 4-2-llOA
(under interim zoning Ordinance Number 5724 and Cl-64) to allow a 13.35-foot front yard
setback (where a minimum of 25-foot setback is required) in order to accommodate a future
expansion of the existing new single family residence at 2621 Meadow Pl N.

POLICY /CODE
INTERPRETATION#: Cl-64
MUNICIPAL
CODE SECTIONS: Ordinance 5724 Interim Zoning Standards, and 4-2-llOA, Development
Standards for Residential Zoning Designations (Primary and Attached
Accessory Structures)
REFERENCE: N/A
SUBJECT: Side Yard Setback Requirements adopted under Ordinance 5724
BACKGROUND: Interim zoning standards were adopted under Ordinance 5724, which
superseded adopted development standards for the R-8 zone. These
interim development standards included increasing the required 5-foot
side yard setback to 7 .5 feet and increasing the required 15-foot side
yard along a street setback to 17.5 feet. These interim standards were
adopted in anticipation of the City Council rezoning certain R-8 zoned
properties to a new R-6 zone. The new R-6 zone and associated
development standards were adopted under Ordinance 5744 amending
RMC 4-2-llOA, Development Standards for Residential Zoning
Designations. Ordinance 5744 requires the following side yard setback:
"combined 15 ft. with not less than 5 ft. on either side", which provides
more flexibility than the 7 .5-foot side yard setback adopted under
Ordinance 5724. In addition, the side yard along a street setback was
increased to 25 feet.
JUSTIFICATION: The interim standards adopted under Ordinance 5724 were adopted
quickly to prevent the development of R-8 zoned properties to R-8
development standards, when R-6 development standards may be more
compatible with surrounding development patterns. The standards
adopted under Ordinance 5744 were thoroughly vetted through the
public process including the Planning Commission and City Council,
whereas the interim standards were quickly adopted with less public
input. Therefore, projects which are vested to the interim standards
under Ordinance 5724 should be subject to the side yard and side yard
along a street setback requirements adopted under Ordinance 5744.
DECISION: Projects vested to the interim zoning standards adopted under Ordinance
5724 shall be required to comply with the side yard and side yard along a
street setback requirements adopted under Ordinance 5744.

RE:2621
Good to get more information on that property. The neighbors to our West believe that the asphalted area is their property and had a limited easement for
Sally's access. It is their understanding that the easement ended when she passed. Someone would have to review the easement language to fully understand
the reality of what the current standing is.
Our variance application would not be effecting anyone not directly to our West or North. We are only able to go North for a 2 car garage without coming even
closer to the property lines. So, we believe, given the limited options for us, the least obtrusive way to build would be to the North. Our setbacks to the West
and East will be within the current code. Since our addition is on the North side of our property, it will only effect one of the properties around us.
With the weather turning drier, we should have very little run-off from our excavation before the vegetation begins to grow back. But, we will get out and clean
off the asphalt this weekend and put up the silt fence just to make sure things are in good shape from now on.

Hi Eric,
Thanks for the email. I had some correspondence from neighbor Marleen and Sally's daughter Autumn (copied above) inquiring about the variance
you folks have to build the new garage, and mentioned the mud.
Yes, my family walks this route on a daily basis (to/from the school bus). We watch over and take care of Sally's house since her family isn't
local. Her address is actually 1305 N. 28th St., not 26th, so this has always been the main access to her home. I have not heard anything about
closing the access.
EXHIBIT 8
Sally's family would like any additional information that might affect her property. Her home is not for sale, and no decisions have been made about
the future.
Thanks for reaching out, Eric. We will all learn together!

Hey Marcie,
I heard there was some dirt/mud below our home at 2621 that made that asphalt slippery. We had a major sewer blockage that required immediate
resolution. We had to dig up the sewer line from the asphalt road below It happened to have rained considerably after we were done that caused
some residue to filter onto the asphalt. Will put up a silt fence along the asphalt to mitigate any run-off while the grass and shrubs re-grow on the
hillside.
Is that an area you are walking regularly? It's my understanding that it is private property and may likely be closed off soon with the passing of Sally
Scott. We are working with the surrounding neighbors to determine the best approach to the use of this area. Your input would be appreciated.
I' II gel that silt screen up ASAP.

PROJECT NARRATIVE C!TY Qi" RENTON
PLANNING DIVISION
NAME
2621 Meadow Pl N
Lot Size 10080 square feet
Lower Kennydale Neighborhood in Renton, Washington
This remodel project will require a general Residential Building Permit along with all the
associated permits for a Single Family Residence project including Plumbing, Electrical,
Low-voltage, Gas piping and Fire Sprinkler system. The zoning for this property and all
surrounding lots is R-8 currently under an interim zoning ordinance No. 5724. It is
currently, and will continue to be used as a single family residence with a house and
carport built in 1960.
We are proposing to remodel an existing house by primarily adding a two-car garage to
the North. This addition will have a garage to the East and a kitchen area to the West.
There is a gradual slope to the West on the property which will provide a daylight
basement room, and we are planning to put a second story above the garage/kitchen
for a master bedroom and offices. The scope of the remodel will include changing the
existing house structure removing a "mid-level" floor (approx. 400 sq.ft.) and putting a
new roof on the house. There will be a fire sprinkler system installed throughout, along
with upgrades and retrofitting as per engineering specifications. Prior to the completion
of the remodel, the existing carport and attached shed will be removed.
An initial estimate of the cost for this remodel project is around $225,000 including the
addition of a new water line from the public street. These costs will be effected by any
additional engineering requirements not currently being considered. The value of the
structure when completed should be between $750-799,000 under current market
conditions.
There no particular special features on this site with regards to steep slopes, wetlands,
stream, vegetation or soil conditions. The soil is typical for the area with some clay and
sandy loam which absorbs water and drains easily. There are a few trees of size on the
property, but none that should be affected by our addition as far as we can tell without
knowing their root structure. There is no plan to remove any trees at this time. No fill
will be involved in this remodel, a small amount (5-10 yards) of soil may be removed
during excavation of the foundation.
The property is accessed by a private drive (Meadow Place North) and is located at the
end of that drive, just over 400 feet from the main street (Meadow Avenue North).
There is no plan to provide public rite of way improvements due to being at the end of
a private drive. A new water line will be required to provide sufficient water for a whole
house sprinkler system.
VARIANCE LETTER F-~ THE CITY OF RENTON PANING DIVISION
My wife and I purchased the home at 2621 Meadow Place North in Renton in May of 2014
with the express purpose of updating the home and living there for many years. We both find
that remodeling instead of tearing down and building new is so much more rewarding and
maintains some of the characteristics of the existing home for neighborhood. We completed a
remodel to another home a few blocks away in 2008 and look forward to completing another at
this new location in the same neighborhood. So, even before we sold that home, we began
the process of drawing up the plans for the remodel to the 1960 original floor plan. The main
feature this property lacked was a two-car garage. A single family home that is considered
"updated" and desirable in this neighborhood must have an attached two-car garage. So, we
planned an addition with that two-car garage and some updating to the rest of the home.
There is only a small carport on the property that is barely wide enough to accept two cars
without any walls or much room between the cars. Enclosing this structure is not an option.
Expanding the structure (away from the house) towards the East would not be feasible as it
would then not conform to any setback. The best way to create a reasonable two-car garage
would be adding to the North of the home and remove the existing carport with attached shed.
After considerable months of effort and expense, we had a working set of plans with
engineering ready for the permit process. And then we found out that the zoning had just
changed and our plans were no longer compliant with the interim zoning.
After months of consideration and discussion about possible options and configurations, we
believe the only way to provide this property with an attached two-car garage is by obtaining a
variance of the front setback regulations. Due to the current positioning of the existing home,
there isn't sufficient room to add a two car garage without encroaching into a setback. Given
that reality, without the granting of a variance for the addition, we would not be allowed to have
a two-car garage. This would significantly diminish any value added to updating the existing
home, creating a hardship to our efforts.
This property is located over 400 feet from any public street and is 10,000 square feet in size.
Even with the addition, we would be over 15 feet from our Northern neighbors' home and
compliant on the sides. And, we will be removing the existing carport and shed to the East
which helps balance the impervious surface of the new addition. The effect to the neighbors
and neighborhood is negligible given the private nature of the drive, and the fact that we are at
the very end of that drive. We have reviewed our plans with all close neighbors and have not
received any negative feedback. This variance will not effect the use, view or create any
limitation of other properties in the vicinity of our home.
We reduced the overall width of the garage to less than 23 feet from the preferred 24 feet to
reduce the extension into the setback. Any smaller size would make the interior of the garage
very tight and shear panels on either side of the garage door more difficult and expensive to
engineer. And, we stepped the non-garage area of the house (to the West) in by 4 feet to
reduce the setback encroachment along th~ rest of the addition.
As you can see, the homes along this lane were not built with any survey or property line in
mind. The neighbors home abuts our property line and with property line angled, the our
existing house (and new addition) does not set parallel to that line. This makes the setback
distance vary, with the average being around 15 feet. Given the expressed requirement of a
two-car garage, the difficulty of using any existing structure for that purpose, and the private
nature of the location, we are requesting a variance of the front yard setback of 25 feet, to the
measurements noted on the site plan. RECEIVED
Sincerely,
Eric Komarniski
