4 The existing land uses m the area of the proposal include residences, an auto service
station and a school, all of which are compatible with the proposaL
5 The prroposal is exempt from the provisions of the Washington State Environmental
Pohcy Act, Chapter 43 21 C RCW pursuant to WAC 197-11-800 (6) (b)
6 The need to grant these vanances is a result of a Spokane County road project
which requires acquisinon of land on University Road and 16th Avenue Tius acquisition
renders both exustmg garages and driveways nearly useless The property is substanfaally
burdened (by acqwsitaon) with view restnctions, loss of off-street parking area and loss of
pnvacy The proposed garages' locations and the fence overcome the pracucal d~ff'iculties by
allowuig internal pnvacy; in the case of the fence and adequate garages and driveways, while
not unduly compronusing the size of the back yard.
7 There are sp=al circumstances applicable to the property which, when combmed
with the standards of the Zonuig Orduiance, create pracncal difficulties for the use of the
property and/or depnve the property of nghts and pnvileges common to other properaes in the
vicmity and sunilar zone classYfications
8 Cnanting the vanance will be neither matenally detnmental to the pubhc welfare nor
mjurious to property or unprovements in the vicuuty and zone
9 Stnct apphcation of the zonuig standards dces create an unreasonable burden in
hght of the purpose to be served by the standards

concept for either the unmedsate area ar the entire county
11 No adverse testimony or wntten comments were received rega,rding the proposal
12 The apphcant has been made aware of the recommendaaons of vanous County
agencies reviewing ttus project and has indicated those recommendations are acceptable
13 The proper legal requvements for adverasing of the heanng before the Zorung
Adjustar of Spokane County have been met.
14 The Zonuig Adjustor may requue such conditions of approval as necessary and
appropnate to make the project most compatible vvith the pubhc interest and general welfare
15 Vanous performance standards and cntena are addinonally needed to make the use
compatible with other permitted activities m the same vicuuty and zone and to ensure against
imposmg excessive demands upon pubhc utdities, and these shaU be addressed as condstions
of approval
16 Wrth the conditions of appmval set forth below, the vanance wffl a) not constitute
a grant of special pnvileges inconsistent with lurutations on other propertLes m the vicuuty and
smular zone, b) ensure that the mtent and purpose of the Zotung Code is achieved vvith regard

Spokane County is causing an und4e hardship to the property owners through its road
widening project (CRP 2298) The off street parking in the driveways will be eliminated
and safe garage use will be curtailed by the road project Privacy and security of the
duplex units will be impacted negatively by the sidewalk and road location of CRP 2298
The owners wish to relocate and rebuild the garages and driveways to the duplex units
and redesign the front yard landscaping to maintain the properties deairability as a rental
As the owner lfves right next to this duplex, he has much invested in the overall desirability
of both of his properties The duplex is an important part of his retirement nest egg He
built it and does not want to sell it at this time in spite of the road project
The Public interest is best served with retrofitting the garages at S 151111513 University
Leaving the duplex "as is" creates a visibility problem at the N E corner of lbth & University
and a access safety problem for duplex tenants in parking and garage use as to pedestrian and
vehicular accomodation Retrofitting the garages eliminates the sight hazard at this corner
and maintains the viabilitq of the owners long term investment in this property

this application (we have the equipment to display v,deo tapes). No such additjonal materlal
is required and in any case if must be BRIEF and descriptlve of issues si+hich need to be
