BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT The regular June meeting of the Tukwila Board of Adjustment was called to order at 8:00 P.M. by Chairperson Altmayer with Board members Duffie, Crain and James present. Gary Crutchfield represented the Planning Division. Chairperson Altmayer noted that Mr. Reid Johanson, the newly- appointed Board member, was out of town and had notified her of his absence. Suggested the Board formally excuse Mr. Johanson's absence. Motion by Mr. James, seconded by Mr. Duffie and carried to excuse the absence of Mr. Johanson. Motion by Mr. Duffie, seconded by Mr. James and carried to approve, as pre- pared, the minutes of 3 February, 3 March, 7 April, 14 April, 20 April and 5 May 1977. OLD BUSINESS: Chairperson Altmayer, referring to the letter dated 25 April 1977 and addressed to the Mayor regarding undergrounding of utilities, asked if there had been any response as yet. Mr. Crutchfield explained that he was unaware of any activity resulting from the letter and that no written response had been received. Motion by Mr. Duffie, seconded by Mrs. Crain and carried to direct the Secre- tary to address a follow -up letter to the Mayor. Chairperson Altmayer asked if the trailer at West Coast Truck Lines had been removed yet. Mr. Crutchfield stated he had inspected the site last week and it was gone. 6230 Southcenter Boulevard ■ Tukwila, Washington 98188 • (206) 292 -2177 Board of Adjustment Minutes NEW BUSINESS: Page 2 2 June 1977 PUBLIC HEARING: VARIANCE at San Juan South Apartments Chairperson Altmayer opened the Public Hearing at 8:20 P.M. Mr. Crutchfield explained the nature of the variance request, pointed out the location of the proposal, and read the Findings, Conclusions and Recommendation contained in the Staff Report. Mr. Dick Hammons, representing the applicant, stated his feeling that the variance presented no hardship to other property owners. Were the site totally level and dry, they could get about 58 units on the site. They propose to maintain the existing slope on the west as well as the swamp which serves as drainage for the parcel to the north. If the front yard was granted a variance, they could get a five -unit building in. Stated he could agree with the rear yard requirement but felt the front yard should be reduced. Ms. Fran McDaniel, 6420 South 153rd, asked why 62nd Avenue was not being used. Mr. Crutchfield explained the public right -of -way platted for 62nd Avenue South many years ago did not respect topographical or geological conditions. Public Works has indicated that extension of 62nd Avenue is highly unlikely. Ms. McDaniel questioned the use of South 153rd Street as well as useable recreation area within the site. Stated if the children have no place to play, they play in the street and South 153rd is too narrow and dangerous already. Short discussion ensued between Ms. McDaniel and Mr. 'Hammons regarding site design and use. Mr. Crutchfield explained that the concerns expressed by Ms. McDaniel would be addressed under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) at such time as a permit is applied for but noted that these concerns are irrelevant to the variance application. Ms. McDaniel requested she be fully informed of actions under SEPA. Mr. James asked if the applicant had addressed alternative designs. Mr. Hammons stated yes but this was the only way they feel this building will fit.. Chairperson Altmayer asked about filling the swamp area. Mr. Hammons explained the functional characteristics of the swamp relative to drainage of the property to the north. Mr. Crutchfield reiterated Mr. Hammon's explanation. Mr. James stated he felt the building can be redesigned to fit the yard require- ments. Board of Adjustment Minutes ( There being no further audience comments, Chairperson Altmayer closed the Pub- lic Hearing at 8:50 P.M. Motion by Mr. Duffie, seconded by Mr. James and carried unanimously to deny the variance application based on the Findings and contained in the Staff Report. There being no. further business, motion by Mr. Duffie, seconded by Mr. James and carried to adjourn the meeting. Chairperson Altmayer adjourned the regular June meeting at 8:55 P.M.

AGENDA ITEM V A PUBLIC HEARING: VARIANCE at San Juan Apartments REQUEST: VARIANCE from Section 18.18.020 to authorize construction of structure within both the front and rear yard setback area. APPLICANT: Henry H. Ketcham, P.O. Box 12067, Seattle 98112 LOCATION: Small parcel located immediately north (behind) the existing San Juan Apartment complex at the northeast corner of South 153rd Street and 62nd Avenue South. SIZE: ±53,600 square feet ZONE: R -4 The applicant desires to construct a building which would intrude into the front and rear yard areas required by Section 18.18.020. To accomodate such construc- tion the applicant has requested the Board grant a variance from said required yards. FINDINGS: 1. The subject property is approximately 53,600 square feet in total area and is located immediately behind the existing 4 -plex development commonly known as the San Juan Apartments on South 153rd Street. (SEE, Exhibits "A" and "B ".) 2. The subject parcel is a separate and individual lot of record but both parcels are owned by the applicant. 3. The subject parcel is zoned R -4; hence, the required minimum yards are man- dated by Section 18.18.020 (TMC). The surrounding properties are zoned as depicted in Exhibit "C ". 4. The determination of which portion of a lot shall constitute the front yard is extrapolated from the definition of "front yard" (defined in Section 18.06.780) and is explained in Exhibit "D ". Board of Adjustment Staff Report F Page 2 2 June 1977 5. Section 18.18.020, referring to Section 18.18.040, requires that develop- ment in the R -4 zone provide at least 45 feet from the centerline of the street. 6. The 'street' which provides principal means of access to this lot is the private access road which lies in an east -west fashion along the common property line. Hence, the 45 -foot front yard is measured from the center- line of that private access road. 7. Section 18.18.020, referring to Section 18.18.060, requires that develop- ment in the R -4 zone provide at least 25% of the lot depth or 25 feet, whichever is less. This lot being 119 feet in depth, the minimum rear yard requirement is 25 feet. 8. Application of the required minimum yards results in a buildable lot depth of 73 feet. (SEE, Exhibit "E ".) 9. The applicant has requested a variance from these specific yard require- ments be granted due to the steep slope at the west end of the property and the swamp area located near the center of the lot. (SEE, Exhibit 10. The structure proposed for construction within the required yards is a six unit townhouse (two- story) building. CONCLUSIONS: Section 18.72.010 spells out six criteria for the Board's consideration, all of which must be deemed fulfilled if the variance is to be granted. Each is individually addressed below with respect to the Findings enumerated above. 1. The variance shall not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsis- tent with the limitation upon uses of other properties in the vicinity and in the zone in which the property on behalf of which the application was filed is located; CONCLUSION: The R -4 zone authorizes a maximum of 43 apartment units per acre. The yard requirements, or minimum distances from pro - perty lines, are intended to ensure that an adequate amount of open space is provided between buildings when all property is developed. This parcel of land adjoins a parcel with R -4 zoning in front of it and R -1 zoning to the rear. The R -4 construction on the lot in front conforms to both the front and rear yard requirements. Hence, this variance would con- stitute a grant of special privelege unless the natural char- acteristics of the subject lot dictate intrusion into the minimum yard requirements. 2. That such variance is necessary because of special circumstances relating to the size, shape, topography, location or surrounding of the subject property, to provide it with use rights and privileges permitted to other Board of Adjustment Staff Report Page 3 2 June 1977 properties in the vicinity and in the zone in which the subject property is located; CONCLUSION: The special circumstances asserted by the applicant are the swamp area and the steep hillside near the west property line. The swamp area does not, in fact, dictate that a building in the westerly portion of the lot intrude into the front or rear yard. Neither does the steep hillside dictate that a building intrude into either the front or rear yard. The only circum- stance which provides the basis for application is the appli- cant's desire to construct a six -unit building on a portion of the lot which will not accomodate a six -unit building without intrusion into the required yard areas. The real circumstance which precludes desired development within the yard require- ments is the depth of the lot; it simply does not provide enough depth to build the desired structure. 3. That the special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant; CONCLUSION: The swamp area and the steep hillside are natural characteris- tics of the property and certainly are not a result of actions by the applicant. They are not, however, the circumstances which present the basic problem to the applicant. The lot depth, as concluded in #2 above, is the actual circumstance which presents a difficulty to the applicant. This lot, in its present configuration, was created by the previous landowner and was purchased by the applicant. Both actions were done long after the R -4 zone was applied to the land. Therefore, the lot depth is a result of actions taken by the applicant. 4. That the granting of such variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and in the zone in which the subject property is situated; CONCLUSION: Construction of a building which intrudes into the minimum front yard requirement would not necessarily constitute a detriment to the public welfare due to the amount of open space between the proposed building and the nearest existing building. Intrusion into the minimum rear yard requirement would, however, constitute a detriment to the public welfare as well as be injurious to potential improvements on the pro- perty to the north since such an intrusion would possibly re- duce the minimum open space between buildings on either side of the north property line and would, in fact, require the improvements constructed on the parcel to the north to locate farther away from its south property line than otherwise re- quired by the zoning code in order to attain the minimum dis- tance of separation implicit in the respective setback restric- tions. 5. The authorization of such variance will not adversely affect the implemen- Board of Adjustment Staff Report tation of the comprehensive land use plan; Page 4 2 June 1977 CONCLUSION: Insofar as the current Comprehensive Land Use Plan consists of nothing more than a map which indicates this particular parcel of land should ultimately support multiple - family residential land use, the variance would not adversely affect the Plan's implementation. 6. That the granting of such a variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant possessed by the owners of other properties in the same zone or vicinity. CONCLUSION: All properties classified R -4 enjoy the right to construct up to 43 units per acre within the confines established by the applicable yard requirements. The parcel immediately south of the subject parcel contains 24 units (this reflects 16.5 units per acre) and fully complements the required setbacks. Hence, this variance is not at all necessary to preserve a substantial property right of applicant which is enjoyed by other property owners. SUMMARY The subject parcel is proposed to contain 32 units (this reflects 26.5 units per acre) but does not respect the required setbacks. Reduction of the build- ing size to a four -unit building would reduce the total number of units to 30 (25 units per acre) and would fulfill the setback requirements while preserving those substantial property rights of the applicant enjoyed by other property owners in the same zone and vicinity. In short, the applicant can easily remedy the lot depth problem without undue hardship. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Board deny the variance request based on the Findings and.

GC /cw MEMORANDUM r OFFICe o C ri V T E,J 3- CM9 111,-A COMMUNITY OEVEL.OPMENT 18 May 1977 TO: FILE FROM: Gary Crutchfield, Assistant Planner SUBJECT: INTERPRETATION OF 'FRONT YARD' The application of front yard setback is inextricably intertwined with subdivision review and therefore must be established in a sound manner so as not to breed con- fusion on the part of Staff or the subdivision applicant. The question of what • constitutes the front yard arises primarily in residential short plats which con- tain private access roads. Section 18.06.780 defines 'front yard as "...an open unoccupied space extending from the principal street line to the nearest point of a roofed building on the lot..." (emphasis added). *Section. 18.06.660 defines the term 'street' as "...a public thoroughfare which affords the principal means of access to abutting properties." (emphasis added). A private driveway extending from . a typical public street, through the lot abutting the street (by way of easement), and providing access to a lot directly behind the front lot may be considered an extended driveway which does not afford access to properties abutting the second lot. Therefore, the front yard for the second lot should determined to be an open space extending from the lot line through which the driveway provides access from the principal street. In the event such a private driveway effectively serves more than the second lot, said driveway becomes the principal street which affords access to abutting properties. Hence, the front yard should be determined to be an open space extending from the driveway easement line (this would constitute a.yard extending from the principal street line as mandated by the definitions cited above). . • The following interpretations are hereby established to provide useful guidance in review of short plats portraying such circumstances. In the event a private access road provides the principal means of access to one lot and does not provide principal means of access to any other lots, the front yard shall be determined to'be an space extending from the lot line through which the private access road provides access from the principal street. In the event a private access road provides the principal means of access to more than one lot, the front yard shall be determined to be an open space extending from the private access easement line.

Project: 32 unit Apartment Complex for Tukwila, Wa. Developer: K and K Construction Co., Seattle, Washington Gentlemen: We propose a change and ask your approval on the front /rear yard orientation regarding Building 'A' as shown on the Site Plan as presented. Our variance request is based on two existing site problems within the property. 1 .Steep slope at west end of property. 2. A large swamp area located in the central portion of the property. We request that the parking area (west side) be classified a the front yard and the 90 feet wide area to the east (between buildings -swamp area) classified as Building A's rear yard and the 8 feet side yards be allowed on the north and south sides of the building. Our proposed change allows us to grade the west portion of the lot to accept .: .; a sloping parking lot and the 90 feet clear area to the east allows us to escape having to build on a swamp area. With this front /rear variance approval we can an would thoroughly landscape the central landscape area with rockery, plantings, trees, etc., along with proper overflow control with drainage piping from the swamp area. Building 'A' as shown in profile drawing will have the Townhouse type concept where we place the Living /Dining /Kitchen on the top floor and bedrooms on the lower level to accomodate the sloping terrain at the west end of the property. In conclusion, with these changes permitted, we feel we can make the entire project (including the existing 24 unit apartment complex to the south on this Owner's same property) into a delightful open area feeling and thoroughly landscaped for all living within.

CALIFORNIA 2 June 1977 CITY OF TUKWILA PLANNING DIVISION BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT STAFF REPORT AGENDA ITEM VI A Undergrounding of Utilities 8:00 P.M. Attached is a letter directed to Mayor Bauch concerning undergrounding of utilities as requested by the Board of Adjustment at the meeting conducted on 20 April 1977. 25 April 1977 Dear Mayor Bauch: The Honorable Edgar D. Bauch Mayor, City of Tukwila 14475 -- 59th Avenue South Tukwila, Washington 98168 QTY of ir LEK Wt LA OFFICE of COMMUNITY OEVELOPMENT • The Board of Adjustment has, over the past two years, considered several applications for variance from Chapter 13.08 of the Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC). That Chapter mandates all extensions, duplications or rebuilds be installed underground after the effective date of the 1967 ordinance. Said Chapter further provides that all overhead electrical transmission facilities existing at the time of the ordinance (1967) be placed underground within five (5) years (1972). In most instances, a variance applicant needs a variance from undergrounding requirements due to the cost of such. For example, a new industrial company moves into a vacated industrial building. The new company needs three -phase electrical service to sufficiently operate its equipment whereas the former building tenant did not. To provide such, the utility must extend an addi- tional transmission line from the nearest transformer. In this case, the nearest transformer is a quarter -mile away. The utility, in conformance with Chapter 13.08 (TMC), informs the new building tenant that placement of the additional transmission line, underground, will cost in the neighborhood of $40,000 AND that the business which requires the increased service must pro- vide full payment of such cost prior to installation. While the effect of such costs for electrical service can be devastating to small businesses, the granting of variances is equally subvertive to the goal of the particular ordinance. Hence, the dilemma in which the Board, Staff and businesses alike find themselves. The Board, after lengthy discussion with Staff, has concluded the effect of piecemeal enforcement to be unfair in many instances but at the same time acknowledges that the ordinance goal may never be achieved without a mechanism by which to apply the restrictions. The Board does not debate the general welfare considerations implicit in underground utilities. However, the achievement of such goals must be accom- plished with respect to the individual who must ultimately assume the cost if we are to continue our encouragement of commercial and industrial develop- 6230 Sou thcent.<:r Itt v Tukwila, t/: shin7to: rPtiFf a (206) 242 -2177 The.Honorable Edgar D.
