IV COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE PUBLIC None. V VARIANCES V-82(6)6 - THOMAS R. DEENEY. Request for a variance to reduce the 8' side yard setback to 5'; to extend an existing garage. Location: 1138 Highland Avenue. (Continued from June 7, 1982.) Thomas Deeney submitted supplemental information, in- cluding a signed covenant with the property owner imme- diately east creating an II-foot easement, thereby maintaining 18 feet between the structures. Chairman Pazan opened the public hearing. Mr. Deeney explained that there are drain and sewer lines crossing the rear of the property, limiting loca- tions for a detached accessory garage. The covenant will be filed when the variance is approved. Chairman Pazan closed the public hearing. . The Board discussed the location of the existing struc- ture, the age of the house, and possible alternative locations for the requested construction. BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT JUly 12, 1982 Page 2 . Mr. Lacey moved to deny the requested variance, because there are no special circumstances relating to the property, it would be a grant of special privilege; and there may possibly be no detrimental effect to the area. Mr. Rexroat seconded this motion, which passed 2 - 1, with Mrs. Tinkham voting "No". V-82(6)8 - RONALD E. BRADSHAW. Request for a variance to increase the present 31.4% lot coverage to 34.8%; to permit construction of 336 square-foot addition to the recreation room area. Location: 1638 West Twelfth Street. (Continued from June 7, 1982.) Mr. VanHemert distributed a copy of a letter received from Ken Williams, attorney for Mr. Bradshaw. Chairman Pazan opened the public hearing. . Ken Williams said the proposed addition will not alter the appearance of the house; will not violate the set- back requirement; and will not affect the neighbors. Special circumstances include the excessive eave over- hang, the long, narrow house and narrow lot. The addition will increase the value of Mr. Bradshawls house, which will increase the value of the neighbor- hood. Chairman Pazan closed the public hearing. The Board discussed this request, the prior request, and the large eave overhang at some length, following which Mrs. Tinkham moved to grant the variance because it does not hurt anything in the area. Mr. Lacey seconded. On call for the question, Mrs. Tinkham voted "Yes" with Messrs Rexroat and Lacey voting "NO". The motion failed. Mr. Rexroat moved to deny the variance, as it would be a grant of special privilege not enjoyed by other proper- ties in the neighborhood. Mr. Lacey seconded this motion, and on call for the question, the motion passed, 3 - 1, with Mrs. Tinkham voting "No". V-82(6)3 - CITY OF PORT ANGELES. Request for a variance to reduce the required setback of 351 to 01 in the PBP Zone; for the purpose of constructing an addition to an existing building. Location: The Vern Burton Memorial Gymnasium at Fourth and Chase Streets. . Mr. Carr reviewed the Department Report and exhibited the site plan and model for the proposed facility. Chairman Pazan opened the public hearing. BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT July 12, 1982 Page 3 . Howard Doherty had several questions regarding landscap- ing, which Mr. Carr answered. Chairman Pazan closed the public hearing. Mr. Lacey moved to grant the variance as it appears to be within the guidelines of the Zoning Ordinance: the variance will not be a special privilege and it will not be detrimental to the public welfare and there will be no safety problems as adequate rights-of-way will be maintained. Mr. Rexroat seconded this motion, which passed unanimously, with Mrs. Tinkham abstaining. VI STAFF REPORTS Mr. Carr reviewed the State legislation referred to by Ken Williams in his presentation. VII REPORTS OF BOARD MEMBERS Mr. Lacey suggested adding a lot coverage increase to the consideration of decks by the Planning Commission. VIII ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at 9:25 P.M. .
