Exhibit No. 5: Photographs (Received December 10, 1998). C. Project Description/Background: The applicant, James Gorman, is requesting approval of an administrative variance request from the R-10 development standards to allow for the reduction of the required 10 foot setback for side yards along streets. The subject site is situated on a corner lot, bounded by North 6th Street on the north and Wells Avenue North on the west. The duplex, which has already been constructed, is setback 20 feet from the front property line, 20 feet from the rear property line, and 6 to 10 feet from both side property lines. The structure is designed with two units connected by vertical walls with the attached garages in the rear of the property setback 6 feet from the side property lines and the living spaces in the front of the property setback 10 feet. The R-10 zone requires a 10 foot setback for side yards along public streets. The garage encroaches into the required setback 4 feet for a length of 20 feet—totaling 80 square feet in area with a 6 foot setback from op the property line. In July of 1998, a building permit for the duplex was issued in error. It was not until 85% of the structure was complete that the City realized the problem and immediately notified the applicant of the situation. After review of the R-10 regulations, the applicant applied for a variance. The applicant states he will suffer an undue hardship if the variance is not granted due to the City's approval and issuance of the building permit for the structure. The applicant also contends that there are special circumstances with apply to the property and that the variances are necessary to accommodate a two-car garage for each dwelling unit in order to avoid on street parking. v2/ City of Renton P/B/PW Department Administrative Variance Staff Report WELLS AVENUE TOWNHOME VARIANCE LUA-98-178, V-A REPORT AND DECISION OF MAY 20, 1999 Page 3 of 6 FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & DECISION Having reviewed the written record in the matter, the City now makes and enters the following: D. Findings 1) Request: The Applicant, James E. Gorman, has requested approval for an Administrative Variance from the side yard along a street setback for his duplex located at 544 Wells Avenue North. 2) Administrative Variance: The applicant's administrative variance application complies with the requirements for information for a variance. The applicant's site plan and other project drawings are entered as Exhibits No. 2 thru 5. 3) Existing Land Use: Land uses surrounding the subject site include: North: Industrial Property (Boeing); South: Single family residential; East. Single family residential; and West: Multi-family residential. 4) CONSISTENCY WITH VARIANCE CRITERIA Section 4-31-19F.3. lists 4 criteria that the Zoning Administrator is asked to consider, along with all other relevant information, in making a decision on an Administrative Variance application. These include the following: The Zoning Administrator shall have authority to grant an administrative variance upon making a determination, in writing, that the conditions specified below have been found to exist: a. That the applicant suffers undue 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: The applicant contends the size of the lot, in addition to its location on a corner, limits the area that is available for construction of a duplex structure with attached garages. The subject site is 50 feet wide—similar to interior lots in the surrounding area, but substandard for corner lots. Current development standards require a minimum width of 60 feet for corner lots. This width allows for an adequate building area when maintaining required corner setbacks. The applicant's contention is that because the lot was created under previous development standards, it is not possible to comply with current standards that are meant to apply to lots that can feasibly satisfy the requirements. The R-10 standards require a 10 foot setback for side yards along public streets. A corner lot created under current development standards would arrive at a 45 foot wide building area when the required setbacks are deducted (e.g., 60 foot width — 15 feet [5 feet for interior side yard and 10 feet for side yard on street] = 45 feet). Whereas, a corner lot that is only 50 feet in width is left with only 35 feet of building area (e.g., 50 foot width — 15 feet = 35 feet). This 10 foot difference is significant to a lot's ability to accommodate a duplex with attached garages. The applicant states a minimum building area width of 38 feet is necessary for two attached garages and is not possible on the subject property given the required setbacks. In addition, the subject site is designated as Residential Options on the City's Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. The Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan contains a number of policies which encourage the design of housing types located in this designation to look like and be compatible single family development characteristics (see Policies LU-16.1, LU-41, LU-55). The Comprehensive Plan also encourages the placement of parking in rear or side yards, or even under structures (see LU-46b). The R-10 development standards implement these policies by requiring parking in the rear yard area when alley access is available and by allowing a reduced rear yard V2/ City of Renton P/B/PW Department Administrative Variance Staff Report WELLS AVENUE TOWNHOME VARIANCE LUA-98-178, V-A REPORT AND DECISION OF MAY 20, 1999 Page 4 of 6 setback for garages. These provisions accomplish an aesthetic streetscape by eliminating visible parking and also achieve single family characteristics by encouraging parking and storage in garages, similar to existing single family development. The subject site utilizes the existing alley to the rear of the property for access and places the parking for the units in the rear yard as required by the R-10 development standards. Under the strict interpretation of the zoning code, the attached 2-car garage on the north side of the property would have to be removed or altered. The removal of the garage would create an undesirable situation by exposing vehicles without a buffer to the adjacent heavily traveled street. The denial of the variance would also serve to undermine the intent of the Comprehensive Plan and R-10 development standards by reducing the single family character of the development and creating an undesirable streetscape pattern, rather than improve property values and housing supplies as the proposal intended. When considering the substandard width of the lot and its location on a corner, the strict application of the zoning code deprives the property owner of rights and privileges enjoyed by other property owners in the R-10 zone with lots that have reasonable building areas. If required to alter or remove portions of the completed structure, the applicant's hardship will be even greater and the development would lose its single family character if vehicles, storage items, etc. were no longer enclosed in a garage. In addition, the specific traffic controls surrounding the site also create special circumstances applicable to the variance as discussed below. 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: The intent of the side yard along a street setback is to allow for a clear line of sight around a corner. However, the traffic controls for the streets abutting the subject site do not necessitate a greater site line than what is proposed. Specifically, Wells Avenue North - which bounds the property on the west- limits traffic to a one-way north bound direction. North 6th Street—which bounds the property on the north — prohibits left turns at this intersection. As a result of these traffic controls, a clear line of sight for vehicles is necessary only on the corner opposite of the subject site. Although a clear sight line is important for pedestrian safety, the proposed setback is adequate for this purpose—especially when considering the site complies with the required setback for 40 feet of the structure's 60 foot length. Twenty (20) feet of the structure encroaches 4 feet into the side yard setback—totaling 80 square feet of building area. The actual area of encroachment is of a lesser proportion to the complying portion of the structure, so the disruption of streetscape patterns and unsightly conditions resulting from the proposal would be minimal. The approval of the variance would not result in any detrimental impacts to the public welfare or injuries to property values in the vicinity. 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: This criteria is not applicable to setback or area variances pursuant to Hoberg v. Bellevue, 76 Wn. App. 357, 884 P.2d 1339 (1994). d. That the approval as determined by the Zoning Administrator is a minimum variance that will accomplish the desired purpose: The applicant contends that there is no feasible option for accommodating the required two parking spaces per unit other than with the two attached two car garages proposed. One-third of the structure is setback 6 feet from the side property line along North 6th Street while the remaining two- V2/ City of Renton P/B/PW Department Administrative Variance Staff Report WELLS AVENUE TOWNHOME VARIANCE LUA-98-178, V-A REPORT AND DECISION OF MAY 20, 1999 Page 5 of 6 thirds complies with the required 10 foot setback. The proposal may be considered to be the minimum variance necessary to allow the encroaching 80 square feet of building area to remain as is. E. Conclusions 1. The subject site is located at 544 Wells Avenue North, within the Residential - 10 Dwelling Units per Acre (R-10) Zoning designation. 2. The R-10 zone requires a minimum 10 foot setback for side yards along public streets. Eighty (80) square feet of the structure has been constructed within 6 feet of the north side property line. 3. The analysis of the proposal according to variance criteria is found in the body of the Staff Report. F.

Exhibit No. 5: Photographs (Received December 10, 1998). C. Project Description/Background: The applicant, James Gorman, is requesting approval of an administrative variance request from the R-10 development standards to allow for the reduction of: (1) the required 10 foot setback for side yards along streets; and (2) the required 10 foot interior side yard setback for attached units. The subject site is situated on a corner lot, bounded by North 6th Street on the north and Wells Avenue North on the west. The duplex, which has already been constructed, is setback 20 feet from the front property line, 20 feet from the rear property line, and 6 to 10 feet from both side property lines. The structure is designed with two units connected by vertical walls with the attached garages in the rear of the property setback 6 feet from the side property lines and the living spaces in the front of the property setback 10 feet. The R-10 zone requires a 15 foot setback for side yards along streets. A reduction of this requirement to 10 feet is allowed for lots 50 feet or less in width. The R-10 zone also requires a 10 foot interior side yard setback for attached units. Four feet of the garages are located within the required setbacks on both sides of the property. In July of 1998, a building permit for the duplex was issued in error. It was not until 85% of the structure was complete that the City realized the problem and immediately issued a stop work order on the project. Upon finding out what the R-10 regulations were, the applicant applied for a variance. The applicant states he will suffer an undue hardship if the variance is not granted due to the City's approval and issuance of the building permit for the structure. The applicant also contends that the variances are necessary to accommodate a two-car garage for each dwelling unit in order to avoid on street parking. ADMVAR.DOC/ City of Renton PB/PW Department Administrative Variance Staff Report WELLS AVENUE TOWNHOME VARIANCES LUA-98-178, V A REPORT AND DECISION OF JANUARY 20,1999 Page 3 of 6 FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & DECISION Having reviewed the written record in the matter, the City now makes and enters the following: D. Findings 1) Request: The Applicant, James E. Gorman, has requested approval for an Administrative Variance for the side yard setbacks for his duplex located at 544 Wells Avenue North. 2) Administrative Variance: The applicant's administrative variance application complies with the requirements for information for a variance. The applicant's site plan and other project drawings are entered as Exhibits No. 2 thru 5. 3) Existing Land Use: Land uses surrounding the subject site include: North: Industrial Property (Boeing); South: Single family residential; East. Single family residential; and West: Multi-family residential. 4) CONSISTENCY WITH VARIANCE CRITERIA Section 4-31-19F.3. lists 4 criteria that the Zoning Administrator is asked to consider, along with all other relevant information, in making a decision on an Administrative Variance application. These include the following: The Zoning Administrator shall have authority to grant an administrative variance upon making a determination, in writing, that the conditions specified below have been found to exist: a. That the applicant suffers undue 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: Variance request#1 The size and shape of the lot in addition to its location on a corner limits the area that is available for construction of a duplex structure with attached garages. However, this is not a unique situation applying only to the subject property because all of the lots in the surrounding area are of the same size and shape. Therefore, there is not a special characteristic of the subject property which limits or restricts its use or deprives the property owner of rights and privileges that are enjoyed by other property owners in the vicinity. Furthermore, the construction of a nonconforming building on property lacking special or unique circumstances does not create a hardship. Although the building permit may have been issued in error, it is the applicant's responsibility to obtain and comply with all applicable development regulations. The applicant has submitted photographs documenting other property owners in the vicinity, under identical zoning classification, that have developed within a close distance to North 6th Street. However, the two lots presented (adjacent parcels east and west of the subject site) appear to meet the required 10 foot setback for side yards along streets allowed for lots 50 feet or less in width. ADMVAR.DOC/ City ofRenton PB/PW Department Administrative Variance Staff Report WELLS A VENUE VARIANCES LUA-98-1 78, I'A REPORT AND DECISION OF JANUARY 20,1999 Page 4 of 6 Variance request#2 The intent of the required 10 foot interior side yard setback was to address the need for a larger side yard for detached single family units with zero lot lines. However, the code provision has been incorrectly applied to attached unit developments. Furthermore, the requirement is more restrictive than the required setbacks in other multi-family zoning designations which allow duplex development. Therefore, the subject property owner would be deprived of rights and privileges afforded other property owners capable of developing duplexes. (Amendments to the R-10 zone, one of which reduces the interior side yard setback for attached units to 5 feet, are anticipated to be adopted by City Council by the end of this month.) 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: Variance request#1 The granting of the variance would not result in direct materially detrimental impacts to the public welfare. It may be considered injurious to property improvements in the vicinity and zone because it would allow for construction that differs from the standards that generally apply to all properties in the R-10 zone. This would set a precedent and create uncertainty about maintaining zoning standards which have been adopted to protect and enhance residential neighborhoods. Staff has received one letter in support of the proposal from the property owner directly west of the subject site. Variance request#2 The granting of the variance would not be materially detrimental to the public or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity since the majority of the properties are and can be developed with a lesser interior side yard setback. 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: Variance request#1 Approval of the subject variance application may be considered a grant of a special privilege because it would provide an exception from a zoning standard that limits most properties in the vicinity of the subject property. The applicant's submittal includes photographic documentation of adjacent properties and their setbacks from North 6th Street. While the adjacent properties have structures which are near to the street, they appear to comply with the 10 foot reduced setback for side yards along streets applying to lots 50 feet or less in width. The granting of the variance would allow the applicant to utilize a required yard area that is unavailable for use by other properties. ADMVAR.DOC/ • City of Renton P/B/PW Department Administrative Variance Staff Report WELLS AVENUE TOWNIIOME VARIANCES LUA-98-178, V-A REPORT AND DECISION OF JANUARY 20,1999 Page 5 of 6 Variance request#2 The majority of the properties in the vicinity are allowed an interior side yard setback of 5 feet - for both the R-8 zone, as well as for detached units in the R-10 zone. Therefore, the granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations upon uses of other properties in the vicinity and zone in which the subject property is situated. d. That the approval as determined by the Zoning Administrator is a minimum variance that will accomplish the desired purpose: Variance request#1 Sixty percent of the existing structure is setback 6 feet from the side property line along North 6th Street where a minimum setback of 10 feet is required. The structure is 38 feet wide at its greatest width, leaving only 12 feet to divide between the two side yards. The proposal may be considered to be the minimum variance necessary to allow the structure to remain as is. The applicant contends there is no feasible option for accommodating the required two parking spaces per unit other than with the two attached two car garages proposed. The R-10 zone requires parking to be located in the rear yard when alley access is available, but does not require parking to be covered or inside a structure. If made to comply with the required setback, the current design of the structure would allow for either one attached two car garage and two outside spaces where the former garage was located, or create a three car garage with one outside space. Variance request#2 The approval of the variance - the reduction of the interior side yard setback for attached units to 5 feet- is the minimum variance that will accomplish the desired purpose. E. Conclusions 1. The subject site is located at 544 Wells Avenue North, within the Residential - 10 Dwelling Units per Acre (R-10) Zoning designation. 2. The R-10 zone requires a minimum 10 foot setback for side yards along streets for lots 50 feet in width or less and a 10 foot interior side yard setback for attached units. The structure has been constructed within 6 feet of each side property line. 3. The analysis of the proposal according to variance criteria is found in the body of the Staff Report.

An appeal of the decision must be filed within the 14 day appeal period (RCW 43.21.C.075(3); WAC 197-11-680). An appeal to the Hearing Examiner is governed by Title IV, Section 4-8-11.B, which requires that such appeals be filed directly with the Hearing Examiner. Appeals must be made in writing on or before 5:00 PM on February 4, 1999. Any appeal must be accompanied by a $75.00 fee and other specific requirements. THE APPEARANCE OF FAIRNESS DOCTRINE provides that no ex parte(private one-on-one) communications may occur concerning the land use decision. The Doctrine applies not only to the initial decision, but to Appeals to the Hearing Examiner as well. All communications after the decision/approval date must be made in writing through the Hearing Examiner. All communications are public record and this permits all interested parties to know the contents of the communication and would allow them to openly rebut the evidence in writing. Any violation of this doctrine could result in the invalidation of the appeal by the Court. ADMVAR.DOC/ J,�v. (ADJACEAT PRoPE2TY) 540 WELLS AVE N.

The Applicant will suffer undue hardship if the variance is not granted. The new duplex town home construction , authorized by City Building Permit#B980315 in August 1998, is by now 85% complete. The applicant is the owner of the property in question, and is the builder-developer. The construction is financed by a construction or builders loan from a local bank, to which the applicant makes monthly payments. Moreover, both dwelling units have been sold, with earnest money deposits made by each buyer. The scheduled closing date is 30 December. It would be an extreme financial and legal hardship to the applicant if the variance is not granted, nor handled expeditiously, and the construction not finished nor the sales of the units completed. The minor administrative variance from the 15—foot setback along arterials is necessary because of special circumstances that apply to the property. The duplex under construction provides a two-car garage for each dwelling , which avoids on street parking. Each garage is nineteen(19) feet wide; this is a minimum to accommodate 2 cars. Together, the two garages, situated side by side and sharing a common wall, are thirty-eight (38) feet wide. The width of the building lot is 50 feet wide. It seemed that the duplex could be built on the lot with 6-foot setbacks from the property lines on both sides. A 15-foot arterial setback meant that the building lot minimum width would have to be 60 feet—which was impossible, or the duplex garages would have to be 30 feet wide, which would not be feasible for parking 4 cars. The requested variance is needed only along 60% of the length of the building lot adjacent to N. 6th Street. The lot is 100 feet long. The structure is 60 feet long, consisting of the garage which is 20 feet long and the living area which is 40 feet long. Along the garage, the existing setback is(o feet ( !v' ), and along the living area, it is/O feet ( /O' ). Along the other three sides of the property, the minimum required setbacks are met. The variance being sought is minor. It applies to a little more than half the length of only one of the four sides of the subject property. When the applicant requested a building permit, it was unmindful of the 15-foot setback required along arterial streets. In the permit application it showed a 6-foot setback. During its review, the City Public Works Department did not advise the applicant at the time of the 15-foot setback for arterials. It issued the building permit, with the 6-foot setback along North Sixth Street. The applicant then proceeded with the purchase of the lot, and began construction of the duplex, which is now nearing completion. �N�G Q Ovj \ 1C) <'. 0✓ �� Ali I Justification for Variance Request: 544 Wells Ave N., Renton, WA Building Permit B980315 Along the north side of the property, along North 6th Street, there is a sidewalk between the gutter and the property line. The actual set back of the duplex from the street curb and gutter line is 12 feet at the garage and 16 feet at the living area. Strict application of the Building Code regarding the setback along arterials would deprive the applicant, who is the property owner, of rights and privileges enjoyed by other property owners in the vicinity. There are other nearby residential properties along N. 6th Street which have setbacks from the arterial much less than the required 15 feet. To the west, across Wells Ave N. is an 8 unit 2 story apartment with 6 feet of setback along N. 6th St. (address is 806 N. 6th St.). To the east, the residence behind the duplex, at 547 Pelly Ave N., has a 10-foot setback from the arterial, N.6th St. Those property owners are under an identical classification as the duplex. Moreover, those owners have the right to use more of their properties to situate their buildings. B. Granting the minor administrative variance as requested will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which the subject property is located. The existing arterial setback of the applicant's duplex matches or exceeds the setbacks of the adjacent properties along the arterial, N. 6th St. When completed, the aspect of the new duplex along N. 6th St. will be comparable to the other residences in the vicinity. There is no impact to traffic on the adjacent streets from situating the duplex closer to N. 6th St than the 15-foot setback. For motorists entering N. 6th St. from Wells Ave N., there are several hundred yards of clear site distance in either direction along N. 6th St. This distance is in no way reduced or impeded by the smaller setback of the subject duplex. C. Approval of the Variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitation upon uses of other properties in the same vicinity and zone as the subject property. The setbacks of the properties adjacent to the duplex along the arterial, N. 6th St., are much shorter than 15 feet; they are comparable to the existing arterial setback of the applicant's duplex. With the smaller arterial setbacks, those adjacent property owners have the right to use more of their properties to situate their buildings than is being granted to the applicant. Approval of the variance will grant the applicant the same property rights and privileges currently enjoyed by the adjacent property owners. D. Approval of the Variance will be the minimum that will accomplish the desired purpose. The desired purpose is to create a high quality affordable infill duplex development that increases density while maintaining the single-family character of the neighborhood. This is an objective that enhances the neighborhood, the community, and the City of Renton, as well as the applicant. 2 Sent by: CONSTRUCTIONEERING 4256437276 12/10/98 1 :5 Job 444 Page 3/3 PAUL NELS CARLSON CO.

REQUEST: We request an administrative variance from the side lot setback requirements along arterial streets and interior lot lines for new residential construction.The particular site is 544 Wells Avenue North. Renton. We also request expeditious handling. Both units of the duplex have been sold, with a 30 December closing scheduled. 2. ITEMS INVOLVED: A 15-foot set back along arterial city streets,and a 10-foot set back along interior property lines are currently required for new residential construction. When it was issued,the building permit(4 B980315)authorized a 6-foot actual set back at the new construction from the property line to the side of the structure and 4 feet-6 inches to the eaves(overhang).The owner-applicant requests a minor Administrative Variance be granted to authorize the existing set backs. 3. SYNOPSIS: The new construction at 544 Wells Ave. N. is a residential duplex. It is at the corner of Wells Ave. N. and N. 6th St.,an arterial.The building permit B980315,issued on 23 August 1998 for the construction, shows 6-foot setbacks along N. 6 'St. and along the interior side property line. When it submitted the building permit application, the applicant was unaware of the 15-foot arterial and 10-foot interior side setback requirements. During the permit review process, no mention was ever made of the 15- foot and 10-foot setbacks,and the permit was duly issued. Assured of being able to build,the owner- applicant then closed the real estate purchase of the building lot and proceeded with construction. On 23 November 1998,a city management official noticed the new construction with less than the required setbacks. By then the construction was 85%completed. The owner has a small fortune invested in the land and the construction. It would be an extreme hardship on the owner if the Variance is denied. A full justification for this Administrative Variance Request is attached. Thank you for considering this request. Sincerely. 4) -� • L. pMENT Paul A. Reh, Jr. P.E.
