Port Angeles, washington
March 18, 1985
Continuation of March 11, 1985, Meeting
I CALL TO ORDER

1985.

III SUSPENDED
IV VARIANCES
V-85(3)6 - GENE BREITBACH. Request for a variance in
the 13-foot required side yard adjacent to a street to
six feet, to allow construction of a single-family
residence in the RS-7 single-Family Residential
District. Location: Northwest corner of Vashon and
Peabody Streets.
Mr. VanHemert reviewed the Department Report, noting that
the view of the Harbor from the house to the south may be
blocked by a new structure on this lot, but the variance
requested would only have a marginal impact on view
obstruction. Chairman Lewis opened the public hearing.
Gene Breitbach, 1212 Craig Avenue, stated that he was
unaware of the setback requirements when the lot was
purchased. Mr. Lacey asked if the applicant had attempted
to purchase additional land from the property owner to the
west, to which Mr. Breitbach answered "No". Chairman Lewis
closed the public hearing, noting that no one else was
present.
After substantial discussion of alternatives to a structural
intrusion into the side yard adjacent to the street, Ms.
McPhee moved to grant the variance, provided that there be
no second story in the varied side yard, and that there be
no change in the front, interior side, and rear yard as
shown on the submitted site plan, unless approved by the
Board. Mr. Lacey seconded the motion, which failed, 1 - 4,
with the Chair abstaining.

After additional discussion, Mr. Lacey moved to grant a side
yard variance of four feet into the side yard adjacent to
Peabody Street, to create a 9-foot setback, with the condition
that the driveway adjacent to the alley serving the house to
the east be undisturbed, citing the following findings of
fact:
1. The lot grade and slope are special circumstances.
2. No neighboring buildings are affected.
3. No sight distance obstruction is created at the
intersection of Vashon and Peabody Streets.
Mr. Rexroat seconded the motion, which passed 3 - 1. Ms.
McPhee abstained.
