Ms. Bradshaw entered the staff's Findings and Conclusions into the record and summarized the Staff Report. Mr. Nesheim opened the public hearing. Gary Bryan, 3316 - 53rd Avenue N.E., Tacoma, applicant explained the reason for requesting the variance at this time due to his selling of the property and the subsequent problems in obtaining title insurance. Shirley Segal, 5651 South 144th, Tukwila, sited her concern with a possible precedent set for small lots. Mr. Bryan indicated that the lot created would meet the minimum lot width of 7,200 square feet. Robert Norris, 2416 Alvarado Drive, Bellingham, asked about the property being a nonconforming lot. Ms. Bradshaw explained that, as it exists with two houses on one lot of record, it is a nonconforming lot. It would be less nonconforming to have the two existing single - family houses each on their own lot of record. MRS.

Dear Board Members: We no not believe a variance of the code is appropriate in this instance. The proposed contractor's yard is directly adjacent to our building which we have developed to high quality standards. The purpose of such screening is to shield the unsightly yard and equipment from both adjacent property owners and passersby. The image of our building from the freeway would be significantly compromised if a directly adjacent construction yard was largely visible. We, therefore, urge your denial of this application. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Lawrence M. Shaw President LMS /pfm xt3 AGENDA ITEM CITY OF TUKWILA PLANNING DIVISION STAFF REPORT BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT 86 -36 -V: Sound Utilities INTRODUCTION The Board of Adjustment is being requested to vary the screening requirement around a contractor's storage yard. FINDINGS A. The applicant is proposing to screen three of the four sides of the subject lot. B. The applicant is requesting a variance from Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC) 18.52.040(2) Outside Storage: Outdoor storage shall be screened from abut- ting public streets and from adjacent properties. Such screens shall be a minimum of eight feet high and not less than sixty percent of the height of the material stored. C. The applicant is proposing to locate a contractor's storage yard per TMC 18.40.020(3), which permits storage yards subject to the screening require- ments of Chapter 18.52 in the M -1 district. D. The subject property is located north of S. 131st Place, southeast of 44th Place South and generally east of State Route 599 (Exhibit 1). E. The applicant is proposing a chain link fence around the four sides of the property with a black plastic screening material to be used on three sides (Exhibit 2). F. Front yard landscaping is being provided as required per TMC 18.52.020. G. The property is bounded by an office /warehouse facility across 44th Place and a nonconforming contractor's yard along the applicant's southeast.prop- erty line. Properties on the other side of 131st Place are undeveloped and /or residential. As the applicant has stated, State Route 599 bounds the property along the east side. H. The Board of Adjustment shall use the criteria of TMC 18.72.020 in its deci- sionmaking. The applicant has submitted Schedule F in response to the fire criteria (Exhibit 4). PLANNING COMMISSION 86 -36 -V: Sound Utilities STAFF REPORT Page 2 CONCLUSIONS A. TMC 18.72.020(1): The variance shall not constitute a grant of special priv- ilege inconsistent with the limitation upon uses of other properties in the vicinity and in the zone in which the property on behalf of which the appli- cation was filed is located. The City has not to date granted any variances from this section of the code regarding screening of storage yards. Work on the adjacent storage yard was started illegally although a building permit has since been submitted and is currently being processed. The intent of the requirement is to provide screening from adjacent rights - of -way. The opaque screen along the SR 599 side would be ineffective because the state highway is above the subject site. Therefore, a variance would not be a grant of special privilege. B. TMC 18.72.070(2): The variance is necessary because of special circumstances relating to the size, shape, topography, location or surrounding of the sub- ject property in order to provide it with use rights and privileges permit- ted to other properties in the vicinity and in the zone in which the subject property is located. The variance is being requested because the applicant feels that the eleva- tion of the adjacent state highway would render a screening material on the rear fence as ineffective. This is a special circumstance that is unique to the property. The code requirement would be irrelevant and the variance appropriate. C. TMC 18.72.070(3): The granting of such variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improve- ments in the vicinity and in the zone in which the subject property is situated. The granting of the variance would not appear to significantly change the views of the property from the north side. As the applicant has stated, the State highway is elevated above the top of the fence line and the vantage from the right -of -way will be from above. Therefore, staff does not feel that granting the variance would be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to surrounding properties. Partial screening of the yard could be accomplished with a natural evergreen screen that has a tall average height. D. TMC 18.72.070(4): The authorization of such variance will not adversely affect the implementation of the comprehensive land use policy plan. Granting the variance would not appear to adversely affect implementation of the Comprehensive Plan. E. TMC 18.72.070(5): The granting of such variance is necessary for the pres- ervation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant possessed by the owners of other properties in the same zone or vicinity. PLANNING COMMISSION 86 -36 -V: Sound Utilities STAFF REPORT Page 3 A property right of the applicant possessed by the owners of other. proper- ties in the same zone would perhaps be the right to not screen a storage yard. The intent of the code is to provide screening of storage yards. Because of the location of the subject lot and the adjacent right -of -way, the code's requirement is ineffective. A substitute for a solid fence would be an evergreen tree that would normally exceed the height of the required fence and grow to at least eye level of the passing vehicles. In addition, the code requires that sixty percent of the height of the stored items be screened. Several large construction vehicles are proposed to be parked on the site. A height limit of 13.4 feet would be allowed given the current height of the fence. The Board may wish to grant the variance and stipulate that the height of any stored items be limited re- gardless of the surrounding fence due to the adjacent highway and the lack of screening on the one side. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Board adopt the Findings and Conclusions of the Staff Report and approve the requested variance, subject to a natural evergreen screen. EXHIBITS 1.
