COMPANION FILES: FINAL PLAT #315 } AND DECISION
(Sky View Acres)
ADDRESS: E. 12103 - 26th Ave PARCEL NUMBER: 28544-0919
APPLICATION DESCRIPTION:
1) The applicant proposes to locate an attached garage addition to an existing single family
dwelling 43 feet from the oenterline of the roadway right of way (18 feet from the front property
line); whereas, section 4.05.110 a. 1. of the Spokane County Zoning Ordinance requires a 55 foot
setback (30 feet from the front property line) from the centerline of the roadway right-of-way; and
2) to locate the attached garage 3 feet from the side property line; whereas, section 4.05.110 a.
2. of the Ondinance requires a 5 foot side yard set back.
, Authority to consider such a request exists pursuant to Section 4.25.030b. of the Spokane
. County Zoning Ordinance.
; PROJECT LOCATION: Generally located on the northwest corner of Whipple Road and
. 26th Avenue in the SE 1/4 of Section 28, Township 25N, Range 44 EWM, Spokane County,
Washington. The property is addressed as East 12103 26th.
OPPONENTS OF RECORD: NONE
PUBLIC HEARING AND DECISION:
After considerarion of all available information on file, exhibits submitted and testirnony
received during the course of the public hearing held on August 27, 1990, and the Zoning
Adjustor rendered a written decision on September 620a-1 , 1990 to APPROVE the
aPPlication.
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS
1. The proposal is generally described above.
2. The adopted Spokane County Comprehensive Plan designates the area of the
proposal as Urban. The proposed uses are generally consistent with this category.
3. The site is zoned Agricultural Suburban, which allows the proposed use upon .
approval of this application.
4. The existing land uses in the area of the proposal include similar residential
development, all of which are compatible with the proposal. Most houses in the area have
double car garages; whereas, the applicant's house has only a single car garage.
5. The applicant's house was small, constructed originally (within three years of the
subdivision's finalization) to the 40 foot front yard, 12 foot side yard and 20 foot flanking
smeet yard requirements of the final plat dedication. These setbacks substantially exceed the
! •
CASE NO.VE-56-90 SPOKANE COUNTY ZONING ADJUSTOR PAGE 2
Zoning Ordinance requirements, both in 1956 and now. The 1956 file contains no hint as to
why these setbacks were specified. With a drainfield at the rear of the dwelling and a
previously constnicted dwelling addition on the east side of the corner lot, no room exists for
expansion. In order to have interior space comparable to other dwellings, front/side yard
expansion is the only space left to consider.
6. Although only one variance is of reconi in the subd.ivision, numerous garages and
portions of dwelling units are in the front yards of 26th Avenue. Most houses of the last 15-20
years also violate the dedication setbacks described in #5 above.
7. Granting these variances from provisions of the Zoning Oniinance does not grant
relief from the setbacks set forth in the dedicadon of the plat. But, obviously few if any parties
have been concerned about plat dedicarion language.
. 8. The proposal is exempt from the provisions of the Washington State Environmental
- Policy Act, Chapter 43.21C RCW pursuant to WAC 197-11-800 (6) (b).
. 9. The applicant has been made aware of the recommendations of various County
agencies reviewing this project and has indicated those recommendations ane acceptable.
10. The proper legal requirements for advertising of the hearing before the Zoning
Adjustor of Spokane County have been met.
11. No adverse tesrimony or written comments were received regarding the proposal.
12. With the conditions of approval set forth below, the variance will: a) not constitute
a grant of special privileges inconsistent with limitadons on other properties in the vicinity and
similar zone; b) ensure that the intent and purpose of the Zoning Ondinance is achieved with
regard to location, site design, appearance, and landscaping, etc; and c) protect the
environment, public interest and general welfare.

regulations of the zoning classification for a parricular (the subject) piece of property. This
property, because of special circumstances applicable to it, is depnved of privileges commonly

what, how, and why you propose your ap plicadon is clear. Attach an additional page(s) if needed.
This property needs Lo have a two vehicle gara,;e to be compatible
with otner single family dwellings in the neighborhood. It runs tne
ri6k of oecomirlg a rental property with the small garaoe and narrow
driveway. It would up~rade the property and have more curb appeal.
as well. .
T:e uacxyard aoove~round pool requires equipment that takes up
storaee spaca at least 8 moncris a year. The yard and 6arden equipment,
snowblower, freezer etc. cause extreme overcrowding.
Eventually I would like to bring the utilites upstairs into the
existini garage for added convenience and resale value. This is a
vz~-y well built house (built in 106U ) with hardwood (oak) floors
and wooden Pel1a wir,dows. I hope to put vinyl siding on the new
garage and eventually the entire house.
You are invited to present additional photographs, diagrams, maps, charts, etc. in support of
this application (we have the equipment to display video tapes). No such additional material
is required and in any case it must be BRIEI' and descriptive of issues which need to be
considered in relation to this requested variance. If you have questions about the procedure
to be followed feel free to contact the Spokane County Planning Department (456-2205).
