PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant is requesting SEPA Environmental Review, a Reasonable Use
Variance, and a Variance from setback regulations in order to permit a 405 sq. ft. deck addition with an attached 135 sq.
ft. aluminum drainage grate on the rear of an existing single-family home at 212 S 20th Pl (APN 8860500070) as
documented in Warning of Violation (WOV): CODE20-000309. The existing two-story home is approximately 1,910 sq. ft.
in size and was constructed in 2000. The site is located in the R -6 zoning district and Residential Medium Density
Comprehensive Plan Designation. Regulated slopes (<=90%) are located on the northern edge of the subject site and the
entire parcel is mapped with High Erosion Hazards and High Landslide Hazards. A small portion on the south end of the
subject property is mapped with Moderate Coalmine Hazards. The applicant is requesting a Reasonable Use Variance in
order to allow the proposed deck to remain as constructed on the geotechnically hazardous area and an Administrative
Variance in order to reduce the required setbacks for the deck expansion so that it would be allowed to extend to both
side yard property lines and within 7.5 feet of the rear yard property line. The single -family project is not categorically
exempt from Environmental Review as it requires the approval of a variance (RMC 4-9-070). No trees or vegetation
would be removed as a part of the project. The applicant submitted a geotechnical report and drainage evaluation with
the application.
