Owen CIO Bettina Ricker Windermere Liberty Lake 1429 North Liberty Lake Drive Suite A Liberty Lake, WA. 99019-8522 RE: 2020 S. Bums Rd. Spokane Valley, WA 99037 Parcel# 45261.0918 Dear Mr. Owen: I am writing in response to your letter dated January 14, 2008 requesting information about the non -conforming status of a duplex located on the above referenced parcel. I have reviewed the building file and below you will find details about all building permits on file for this residence: 8/12/83- Residence w/garage 5/3/89- Patio Cover 10/1/92- Sewer Connection 6/21/95- 28 X 40 2 -story garage 6/21/95- Sewer connection for future bathroom in garage As you can see, there are no permits on record for the construction of a second dwelling unit on this lot. Chapter 19.20.060 of the City of Spokane Valley Uniform Development Code defines a legal non-confolluing use as: a. Any use, which does not conform with the present regulations of the zoning district in which it is located shall be deemed a non-confomiing use if it was in existence and in continuous and lawful operation prior to the adoption of these regulations; b. Any permanent structure in existence and lawfully constructed at the time of any amendment to this Code, which by such amendment is placed in a district wherein it is not otherwise permitted and has since been in regular and continuous use; c. Any permanent structure lawfully used or constructed that was in existence at the time of annexation into the City and which has since been in regular and continuous use..... Because there are no permits on record for the construction of a second dwelling unit, this structure does not qualify as a legal non -conforming structure. The property is currently zoned R-3, Single Family Residential. The R-3 zone permits duplexes with a minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet. In order to make the lot/existing structures conforming, the owner must obtain permits and land use approval for the second structure and request an administrative exception for the lot size. If the current property owner can provide evidence that a building permit was issued for the second unit, city staff will be happy to review it. In the meantime, the second residential unit is not legal. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 688-0175 or cjanssen@spokanevalley.org. Sincerely, Christina J. Janssen Assistant Planner City of Spokane Valley GuAL432-1, January 22, 2008 Delbert W.
