IV COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE PUBLIC None. V VARIANCES V-84(5)8 - JAMES O. SULLIVAN. A variance request to reduce the 251 rear yard setback requirement to.71 and the 71 side yard to 31 to allow the construction of a second story addition to an existing residence; and a variance of the 71 side yard setback to 21 to permit the construction of an attached carport. Location: 1221 West Fifth Street Mr. VanHemert reviewed the Department Report. Chairman Rexroat opened the public hearing. Mr. Sullivan explained that the variance is no longer needed for the carport as it will be placed in the interior of the lot. He also distributed photographs. Mr. Sullivan felt that the second story will neither block views from other properties or cast a shadow. Chairman Rexroat closed the public hearing. Mr. Pazan moved to deny the variances because there is sufficient space on the lot. Mr. Lewis seconded the motion, which passed 3 - 1, with Chairman Rexroat voting "No". After further discussion, Mr. Pazan moved to withdraw the . . . BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT June 4, 19B4 Page 2 motion. Mr. Lewis seconded and the motion passed unanimously.

V-84(6)lO - JAMES HOPPER: A request for a variance in the requirement in the Residential Trailer Park (RTP) District that only one sign per trailer park is permi tted, not to exceed l2 sq. ft., to allow the installation of two 96 sq. ft. signs. Location: 112 Highway 101 West. Mr. Carr presented the Department Report. Chairman Rexroat read a letter from Mike Libera and opened the public hearing. Mr. Hopper, 112 Highway 101 West, described the surrounding land uses and that many neighbors are in favor of the signs. He added that recreational vehicles can slow down sufficiently to enter the mobile home park, and new signs will increase its visibility. Mr. Hopper then reviewed the history of the Park. Mr. Lacey asked about the billboard recently installed east of Port Angeles. Mr. Hopper stated that it is too expensive and does not do the job. Ron Richmond, a neighbor immediately south of the RV park, stated that recreational vehicles have encountered turning problems when entering the trailer park; however, the proposed signs may be a bit large. Chairman Rexroat closed the public hearing. The Board discussed the effect of large signs on the traffic problem adjacent to the mobile home park. Mr. Lewis moved to deny the variance for the following reasons: 1. Nonconforming signs are now too large. . . . BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT June 4, 19B4 Page 3 2. A special privilege would clearly be granted. 3. Recreational vehicles can slow down and turn into the park without the proposed signs. 4. There are no compelling reasons to grant the variance.

Mr. Lewis seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. V-B4(6)9 - HAROLD LAYMAN: A request for a variance in the lot size from 7,000 sq. ft. to 5,719 sq. ft. and a front yard variance from the required 251 to 41 to allow the creation of a building lot.
