DETERMINATION OF THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR
Having been appointed Zoning Administrator by the Planning Director to decide the above-referenced
Administrative Adjustment, .and subject petition having been duly noticed as required pursuant to Section
18.12.080, I do hereby find:
1. That a waiver of minimum front yard setback is permitted in connection with an administrative
adjustment if the deviation (4 feet-4 inches) from the Code requirement (25 feet) does not exceed
20°~; and that the proposal is 82.6% of the Code requirement.
2. That opposition was received to this administrative adjustment during the 10-day notification
period which ended on July 16, 1999 and, therefore, it was advertised for a public hearing.
3. That this request is hereby granted because if this proposed garage were a "front-on" garage with
the door oriented to the street (nstead of a "side-on" garage) and the garage door were atoll-up
door, the minimum front setback would be 20 feet instead of 25 feet; and that only a portion of
this proposal encroaches into. the front yard (about 48 sq.ft.); and that a 25 foot setback will be
maintained near the east property line, which is the closest side property line.
4. That the petitioner agreed at the public hearing to providing a window in the wall facing the street
(similar to what exists and similar in design to the house's front window which also faces the
street) and to replacing the tree in the front yard if the proposed construction necessitates its
removal.
5. That 5 people spoke in opposition to this proposal at the public hearing; and that 3 letters were
received from area residents also in opposition to the proposal
Based on the evidence presented to me, I do hereby determine to grantAdministrative Adjustment No.
