Thc sitc is currently developed with a single 13mily residence and attached one-car garage. The propcrty slopes up sh'lrply from south to north. The existing house is located at the top of the slope with the existing g;:lragc at stn:ct levcl. In f'vlarch 2008 the applicant submitted a building pennil application for a garage and porch addition to the existing single family residence located at 524 SW' 3 r t! Place. The plans submitted \vith tlwt <lpplication indicated that the footprint of thc proposed garage addition would not encroach into the 20-foot tront yard setbock required in the R-8 zone, On April 9, 2008 plans were approved and a building permit was issued. (,irading then occurred on-site in preparation for the construction ofthc garage and porch addition. On August 12, 2008, an inspection of the property was made, A Code compliance action was tiled against the applicant when it was discovered that the excavation was within the front yard setback. At that time a ·'Stop Work·· order was instituted and the applicant ceased work on the project. An Administrative Variance request for a O-Ioot front yard setback was tiled on August 20, 2009 to potentially provide a legal means for the applicant to complete the proposed garage and porch addition. City staff requested the applicant to have a survey madc of the subject property to ensure the accuracy of site plans. The survey revealed that the proposed project would encroach into the front yard setback and the existing one-car garage structure on the subject site encroaches approximately 2-feet into the public right-of-way on S\V 3rd Place. Subsequently, the applicant redesigned the project and on March 13, 2009 submitted plans which indicate a one-car garage addition without a porch. The entry to this garage would be angled from soutlnvest to northeast and would be accessed directly from SW 3" Place, The proposed addition would be entirely within the front yard setback and would range [rom 2-fcet to 12 feet from the front property line. A 12-inch roof overhang would also be constructed in conjunction with the proposed garage addition. This project would require a front yard setback Irom the requirements specitled in RMC 4-2-1 lOA. A 20-foot front yard setback is required for attached accessory structures in the R-8 zone, The applicant is proposing a one-car garage addition which would encroach into the front yard setback from a minimum of 2-i'cct to approximately IO-fect from the front property line, Administnltil'e Variallce Report LUAUS-IOf. }"-A.doc CilY (!FRl'lIl()fI J)e[I({FlIIICIlI of C(lIIIIIIII!!ill' (~ Ecollolllic OCl'r,;/(){J!!lelit OHL~EV SETBACK V,jRI.·I.YCE ,Hardl ~5. ]()()9 D.

The request is for a front yard setback ranging from 2-feet to approximately lO-feet. 5) Admini.,·trative Variance: The applicant's administr(ltive variance submittal materials comply' \vith the requirements nccessary to process a variance. The applicant's site plan and other project drmvings are proVided as Exhibits 2 through 6. 6) E'(istillg Lalld Use: Land uses surrounding the subject site include: North single family residellces (R-8 zoning); South -single f~1mily residences (R-8 zoning); r.ast -single f~llnily residences (R-8 zoning); West -single family residences (R-8 zoning). 7) ZOllillg: The site is located in the Residential-~ dwelling units per acre (R-~) zone. 8) Topography: The sile slopes sharply upward to the north. E. Consistency with Variance Criteria RMC 4-9-2508.5 lists tllur erileria that the Reviewing Ofticial is asked to consider, along with all other relevant information, in making a decision on an Administrative Variance application. The four criteria are: 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 surroundiugs of the subject property, and the strict application of the Zoning Code is found to deprive sUhject 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 which imposes undue I imitations. The suhject site is an 11 ,(JOO square foot parcel which slopes up sharply fi'OIn n011h to south. rhe existing single ramily residence is located at the top of the slope and the only feasible means of access to the garage is from street level along SW 3" Place, The applicant believes that because of the uphill slope upon whieh the residellce is located and the lack of access to the rear yard there is no other location on the subject site ior a garage addition. The applicant further contends that neighboring properties have two-car garages \vhich are accessible from the puhlic right-of-way. Staff agrees that the topography of the subject property precludes the location of a garage addition elsewhere on the site. Other property owners in the inunecliate vicinity have two car garages. The proposed addition would allow the applicant to garage two cars (one in the existing garage and one in the proposed garage addition).

That the granting of the variance will not he materially detrimental to the puhlic welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which subject property is situated: The applicant states that the granting of the variance would not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in thc vicinity and zone in th8t the proposed garage \vould provide additional oiT-street parking which \vould promote traffic safety Staff supports the new garage addition and has determined that it would not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the propel1y or improvements in the vicinity and zone. This is because the proposed angled entry would aid in maneuverability in the public right-ol~way and would not contribute to a haz8rclous condition. e. 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 propcrty is situated: Given the topographic constraints of the property, staff believes the approval of the variance request \vould not provide the applicant \-'lith special privilege inconsistent with the limitation upon uses of other propcliics in the vicinity or lone. The subject property currently has a one-car garage; approval of the proposed addition \vould give the applic(lnt an oppOliunity to have a two-em garage \vith additiollal storage 8rca \vhich \V(JUld be consistent \,,:ith other property owners in the neighhorhood. Other garage requests under similar circumstances \vould likely be granted. d. That the approval as determined by the Administrator is a minilIlum variance that will accolIlplish the rlesired purpose: The applicant cDtltcnds that the request is a minimum variance needed in order to provide off-street parking for one vehicle. Staff supports the request i.lS the minimum variance and believes that it is consistent with the current character of the residential neighborhood in which it exists. Staff recommend~ as a condition of the variance approval that the applicilnt record a restrictive covenant which limits the propo~cd garage addition to that which is sho\vn in Exhibits 2 and 3. The restrictive covenant shall state that the proposed garage addition shall be approximately 40-l'ee1. 6-inches in length. The westerly wall of the proposed addition shall be approximately 49-feet from the easterly property boundary. I he addition sl18l1 be no closer than 2-feet to the front property line for approximately 20-fcet as mcasured from its wc~tern-most \\'a1l and then angling northeast to approximately 10-fcet from the front propel1)/ line. A roof overhang is pcnnittcd to cllcronch to within I-foot ofthe tron! property line; under no circumstances may the southerly wall orthe structure extcnd out to the roof overhang. F. Conclusions I. The variance encompasses the reduction of the ti-ont yard setback from 20-fcct to betwcen 2-fcct and approximately 10-feet for the construction of a garage addition in association with an existing single f,"nily residence as depicted on Exhibits 2 (Strcet Level Addition Plan) and 3 (Ohlsen Garage-Site Plan)_ 2. The proposed front yard setback variance mcets the four criteria to be considered in making a decision on a variance request as specified in RMC 4-9-250853. The steep uphill slope from south to north creates special circumstances on the subject site which imposes undue limitations on thc property; thc 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 the subject property is situated in that angled garage entry would aid in the maneuverabil ity of vehicles and not impose a safety hazard in the public right-of-way; because other properties in the area havc two-cm g8rages the gmnting of the variance does not constitute a grant of special privikge inconsistent v./ith the limitation upon use of Administmfi)'c Variance Rcporl LUAUS-JUI, J/-A.doc Citl" oj' Rellfoll DCjl(/J"{/ilcl/I oj' C"Ollllllllllitl' & [COII{)llIic Dv\ 'l'I()/)IJJl!lIf .! rilllilli,\/mii 1"(' J (/riOIlCL' /?cprJr/ & Dec/.)/oll UIILSES SETBACf( kARIA:VCE _________________________ ----'U AII8-/III_, _1'_-,1_ ,\4arch } 5. }()()f.)

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.

'." ,i; Dec. 2, 2008 Gerald Wasser, Associate Planner Renton Department of Community and Economic Development 1055 South Grady Way Renton, WA 98057 Subject: Setback Variance request for the Ohlsen residence at 524 SW 3'd Place. Dear Gerry, Thanks so much for your patient deliberation concerning our Setback Variance request. While I fully acknowledge that I submitted plans that were inaccurately drawn, I have to admit, I'm still surprised that no one from the City had advised me on the proper approach -the Variance process -even though I had sought the City's input and direction from the beginning. While we await the completion of our property survey, please take a few minutes to review this brief outline of events -not because I think I can prove negligence on the part of the City, but simply to ask for grace and mercy in your final decision. I'd like to do two things: 1. Make sure you understand how we got so far on our project before being stopped, and, 2. Offer a solution that I hope will be acceptable to the City. 1. First is a brief account detailing why I think I was coached by City officials into submitting inaccurate drawings, and how I was repeatedly encouraged by City inspectors that this approach was acceptable. Oct 2007 • I met with Lorraine (last name?) to ask for guidance on our proposed garage and to determine what restrictions there might be, if any. • I showed her a drawing of the proposed garage addition, and for reference, brought along a set of professionally drawn approved plans from our 1995 remodel. • Lorraine pulled out an aerial photograph of the Earlington neighborhood and located our property and said, "Oh, you live in THAT neighborhood" • The aerial photograph clearly shows that the existing garage is built near the property line, and that my proposal would follow the property line as well. • I said, "We want to put the garage addition right here," pointing to the area on the aerial photograph. "Will that work?" • She looked again at my 1995 plans and began folding them up and said, "If I were you, I'd put these away... Now I'm not telling you to lie, but. .. " She didn't explain why she said that, but it seemed like she was trying to be "helpful" in some way. She continued, "Draw plans that meet Code and we'll see what we can do" • Not once did she imply that there were challenges of any kind with our site, our setbacks, or the right of way, nor did she ever mention the word, "Variance." January 2008 • Half way through the drawing prooess, I returned for consultation and direction with my partially completed plans in hand. I drew them "to code" as best I knew, including a provision for the 20-foot setback in the front yard. • This time, Craig (last name?) and Lorraine both came out. Craig made several comments about the level of detail that I still needed, several suggestions for framing, and for re-using some of the "boiler plate" information from the 1995 plans. • Lorraine said only two things: "I really like those kinds of garage doors," and "Oh good - you've got your 20-foot setback." March 2008 • I submitted a complete set of plans and paid the required fee, knowing that if the City wanted to check for site plan accuracy, they had immediate access to the same aerial photograph. April 9, 2008 • After making a few minor corrections that Craig requested, I received the approved plans and building permit. It seemed apparent to me that the City chose not to enforce setback requirement. July 8,2008 • First footing inspection. Rob Schuey examined the entire, unaltered set of plans while on site. He approved footing for concrete pour. Made no mention of the required setback, or plan accuracy. July 23, 2008 • Side Sewer inspection. Inspector STP (name?) examined related drawings and asked where the property line is. I pOinted and replied, "Somewhere around here." He approved side sewer. Made no mention of site plan accuracy. July 25, 2008 • Called Mike Allen and asked for advioe regarding sewer line re-Iocation. He arrived and gave useful information that I immediately employed. • July 29,2008 • Second Footing inspection. Entire, unaltered set of plans were made available to inspector Rob Schuey. He examined forms and re-bar and approved for concrete pour. Made no mention of site plan accuracy. July 29, 2008 • Plumbing inspection for sewer drain and related pressure test. Mike Allen inspected and approved. Made no mention of site plan accuracy. August 9, 2008 • Third Footing inspection. Entire, unaltered set of plans were made available to inspector Mike Allen. Examined concrete forms and re-bar and approved. Made no mention of site plan inaccuracy. August 12, 2008 • Received a "Stop Work" order and stopped work immediately. August 13,2008 • Met with Neil Watts and was told, "The only way I can see through this is to apply for a Variance." I asked, "Why didn't someone tell me this last October?" He replied, "I don't know." I briefly explained that it seemed like I was coached into drawing the plans this way, beginning with my first meeting with Lorraine, and he said, "Let's just leave that behind us and go forward from here." • Lorraine appeared and began walking me through the procedures of the Variance application. When she finished, I asked her if she remembered our first conversation. • She replied (I think in jest), "I don't remember what I said yesterdayl" Then, "I can't really see myself saying that to you. I have respect for the code and usually go by the book on this kind of stuff. But I can see myself saying, 'Put those (1995) plans away.'" • I certainly don't claim to be a mind reader, but I do think that her willingness to "cover up" whatever inaccuracies she saw make it clear that she ;s indeed accustomed to occasionally exercising some latitude in setback enforcement. 2. Second, attached is a suggested re-configuration that will satisfy our needs for covered, off-street parking, and hopefully, will also satisfy the City's desires. As you look at it, please note that: • In spite of the appearance of a garage with 4 parking spaces, the reality is that it will only accommodate 2 average vehicles, with storage space in between. • Because of the narrow space fronting the middle section of our home (15 feet), the only places to locate the two vehicle parking spaces are at each end. • Every other property in the neighborhood, except ours and the four adjacent properties just like it, have both the topography and access to rear and side yards for at least a two-car garage, and in some cases, a three-or four-car garage. • Leaving the middle storage section uncovered would be an aesthetic disaster and, frankly, would just look goofy, certainly doing nothing to improve the overall appearance of the Earlington neighborhood or Renton's image. I look forward to speaking with you or your representatives again once our survey is complete. Respectfully, 4Jt., (--';<---'-'-''1<..../ '----..,.

While I have on one hand no problem with their garage project, I do have concerns about the future" look" of our neighborhood. Two blocks to the west of us a developer put in new housing and the city required sidewalks to be installed and the street widened, but only in front of one house. Mrs. Anarde had issues with the city, and the developer and her property was impacted by what happened. The end result is an eye sore in the center of our neighborhood. I am not opposed to progress, however I would like to see" forward thinking" on the part of the developers and the city. After all, when the project is completed, neither the developers or the city officials live in our neighborhood. With that said, we have a developer who has an access easement from SW 3 rd PI and between two houses, directly across the street from the Ohlsens. I have been told a fire hydrant must be brought into the area of the easement along with probable sidewalks. I would have no problem with the fire hydrant or sidewalks as long as the entire block was made to look the same. I would not like to see a repeat of what happened next to Mrs. Anarde. Also question the safety of people driving up the easement and out onto SW 3rd PI. due to poor visibility and the zero set back variance and the inevitable cars parked in front of the Ohlsens new Garage. I also question if the overhead utilities have any bearing on the Ohlsen project, and is the close proximity to the new garage structure a safety concern? If sidewalks were to be constructed in this neighborhood, would the zero setback the Ohlsens are asking for deter that development? With the Ohlsens Variance my question is, if approved, what impact will that have on the future development of our neighborhood, and what precedent will that set for future developers to do what they want in terms of turning our neighborhood into an eye sore for their personal profit? As higher density housing is allowed in the neighborhood, it will bring along with it more and more traffic possibly requiring widening of the street or sidewalks or both. I would really just like to see a certain amount of congruency remain when these projects are complete. I have far less concern about the Ohlsen project than the impact of outside developers in our neighborhood. I sincerely hope the Ohlsens and the city can come to terms and Alex and Pam will be able to accomplish their goal.

Application for Administrative Variance August 18,2008 Gerald Wasser City of Renton Planning Department Renton City Hall -6th Floor 1055 South Grady Way Renton, WA 98057 Alex and Pam Ohlsen 524 SW 3,d Place Renton, WA 98057 Permit # 8-080093 425-228-7104 alexgsurf@aol.com Re: Administrative Variance Request Dear Gerald: We would like to hereby request approval of an Administrative Variance for the completion of our three-vehicle Garage and Porch Addition being built within the front yard setback of our property Property Specifics: Built: 1937 Bought by Ohlsen's: 1987 Zone: R-8 Parcel Number: 2143700245 Size: .25 acres Current Setback Requirements: Minimum Front Yard (as of 1995): 20' Minimum Side Yard: 5' Minimum Rear Yard: 20' Justification We believe it would be in the best interests of the City of Renton and the Earlington Neighborhood to approve this variance for the following reasons: 1. Undue Hardship • The lack of secure, off-street parking on the north side of SW 3'd Place has resulted in numerous criminal incidents on our family vehicles over the past 21 years in the form of: o Five incidents of vandalism, break-ins and theft o Two incidents of stolen vehicles o One incident of hit-and-run accident o Once ticketed for parking our boat and trailer in the public right of way, even though no other off-street parking is available. o Police reports have been filed and are on record for each of the criminal incidents. . • Because of the steep uphill slope upon which our house is built, and the lack of access to the rear yard, adding a garage elsewhere on our property impossible, depriving us of rights and privileges enjoyed by our neighbors. (Please see enclosed photos for examples of neighboring garages) • Most of the neighboring houses in our immediate neighborhood have either existing garages, ample off-street parking, or the space and topography to add garages within build-able areas of their lots. 2. Not Materially Detrimental • The granting of this variance will in no way be materially detrimental to the welfare or property of neighboring residents, but will, in fact, improve them -in terms of traffic safety, increased space for emergency vehicles, and property values. 3. No Special Privileges • Approval will not constitute a special privilege that neighboring homeowners with similar limitations cannot also enjoy 4. Minimum Variance Required • Being allowed to build within the Front yard Setback to the property line is the minimum variance that will accomplish our desired purpose: Even with the variance, our finished two-car garage depth will be only 18' 6", though the standard depth for residential garages is 20' 0". Finally, for the most part, my family and I have loved living in Renton on Earlington Hill since 1987, and have spent the last two decades investing in both the people and properties here. In fact, in 1982 we planted a church in the Fairwood area (outside Renton's city limits) but named it "Renton Christian Center", because of our deep commitment to the welfare of our city We continue to pastor there today, and as long as we have the opportunity, will keep investing heavily in the people and purposes of Renton and the surrounding areas.

Telschow: In response to your proposed remodel of the subject property, it appears the existing attached garage does encroach into the front yard setback for the R -8 zone. Any repairs or alterations to the attached garage would be a percentage of the overall cost of the house remodel. Based on your submitted plans, it has been determined that the proposed remodel of the attached garage will not cause the structure to become further nonconfonning llllder the City of Renton Municipal Code. The construction costs provided for the proposed overall remodel was less than 50% of the assessed value of the structure. Therefore the site improvements qualify under the requirements of the City of Renton Municipal Code Section 4~ 1 0-050(3){b) "Nonconfonning Structure". A copy of the section is enclosed. As this proposal meets the above sited code criteria, an Administrative Determination is not necessary.
