IN THE MATTER OF VARIANCES FROM THE REQUIREMENTS)
FOR MINIMUM (1) FRONTAGE ON A PUBLIC ROAD AND ) FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS
(2) LOT DEPTH-TO-WIDTH RATIO. (VE-74-87);) AND DECISION
LANCE AND ELIZABETH ELLIOTT )
SUMMARY OF APPLICATION:
The app 1 i cant' s parce 1 of 1 and has on 1y 27 feet of cont inuous pub 1 i c road
frontage and has a lot depth-to-width ratio of approximately 12 to 1, whereas
the Spokane County Zoning Ordinance, respectively, in Sectjons 4.05.040 and
4.17.130 requires a minimum of 65 feet of continuous public road frontage and
that a parcel's depth be no more than 3 times the parcel's width. Authority
to consider and grant such a request exists pursuant to Sections 4.03.020 64.
and 4.25.030 b. of the Spokane County Zoning Ordinance.
LOCATION:
The parcel is generally located in the Spokane Yalley, south of and adjacent
to 4th Avenue and east of Bolivar Road in the NW 1/4 of Section 23, Township
25, Range 44. The Assessor's parcel number is 23542-9126. The parcel will be
addressed as E. 14118 4th Avenue.
DECISION OF THE ZONING ADJUSTOR:
Based upon the evidence presented and circumstances associated with the
project proposal, the Zoning Adjustor APPROYES the proposal, conditioned and
stipulated as set forth below.
PUBLIC HEARING:
A f ter exami n i ng a 1 1 ava i 1 ab 1 e i nf ormat i on on f i 1 e wi th the app 1 i cat ion and
visiting the subject property and surrounding area, the Zoning Adjustor
conducted a public hearing on September 9, 1987, rendered a verbal decision on
September 9, 1967, and a written decision on September llth, 1987
_ FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The proposal is generally located in the Spokane Yalley, south of and
adjacent to 4th Avenue and east of Bolivar Road in the NW 1/4 of Section 23,
Township 25, Range 44, and is further described as Assessors Parcel
#23542-9126, being more completely described in Zoning Adjustor File
#YE-74-87. The property is addressed as E. 14118 4th Avenue.
2. The proposal consists of a parcel which is both inconsistent with the
required lot depth-to-width ratio as well as the minimum frontage on a public
road. The applicants desire to obtain variances from each of those two
standards in order to locate a single family dwelling unit on the parcel of
land. The parcel is .54 acres, has 27 feet of frontage on 4th Avenue and is
approximately 12 times deeper than it is wide. The applicants purchased the
property, configured as it is, and wish to establish the privilege of locating
a single fami ly dwel l ing unit on the land. Prior to that a Certificate of
Exemption was issued for this parcel and two others as a result of minor lot
line adjustments, which created no additional lots for the area (see CE-51-85).
3. The adopted Spokane County Future Land Use Plan designates the area
of the proposal as Urban and the proposal is consistent with the County's
entire Comprehensive Plan, including the Future Land Use Plan.

4. The site is zoned Agricultural-Suburban which would allow the
proposed use upon approval of this application.
5. The existing land uses in the area of the proposal include green
houses, nursery uses and both small and large parcel residential development,
all of which are compatible with the proposal.
6. The applicant stated that there were at least two examples in the
area of similar situations; one of which was to the south of their property
fronting on Sth Avenue; and (2) another one located on Sth Avenue at the
Koeller residence.
7. The proposal is exempt from the provisions of Chapter 43.21C RCW
pursuant to WAC 197-11-800 (6) (b).
8. The applicant's have been made aware of the recortmendations of
various County/State agencies reviewing this project and have indicated they
can comply with those recorrmendations.
9. The parcel under consideration has been found to comply with state
and local subdivision regulations (see File CE-51-85A).
10. The proposed site plan indicates that setbacks, parking and height of
the structure(s) will conform to the Spokane County Zoning Ordinance.
11. No one appeared to oppose the proposal nor were any written cortments
adverse to the proposal received.
12. The proper 1 eg a 1 requ i rertents for advert i s i ng of the heari ng bef ore
the Zoning Adjustor of Spokane County have been met.
13. Any conclusion hereinafter stated which may be deemed a finding
herein is hereby adopted as such.
From the Findings, the Zoning Adjustor comes to these:
CONCLUSIONS
1. A Certificate of Exemption has been issued.
2. The variances will not authorize a use otherwise prohibited in the
zone.
3. With the conditions of approval set forth below, the variances will:
a) not constitute a grant of special privileges inconsistent with limitations
on other properties in the vicinity and similar zone; b) ensure that the
intent and purpose of the Zoning Ordinance is achieved with regard to
location, site design, appearance, and landscaping, etc; and c) protect the
environment, public interest and general welfare.
4. There are special circumstances applicable to the property, which
when combined with the standards of the Zoning Ordinance, create practical
difficulties for the use of the property and/or deprive the property of rights
and privileges common to other properties in the vicinity and similar zone
classifications. The segregation which created an irregular shaped parcel
occurred in 1974, before there were regulations against such a division. This
created a parcel which was not only irregular in shape, but was not easily
ut i 1 i zed. The mi nor 1 ot 1 i ne ad ju stment wh i ch occurred 1 ater, and for wh i ch
the Certificate of Exemption was issued in 1985, made the best available use
of the inadequately shaped parcel of land.
5. Granting the variances will be neither materially detrimental to the
public welfare nor injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity and
zone.
..FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND DECISION PAGE 3
VE-74-87; LANCE AND ELIZABETH ELLIOTT
6. Strict application of the zoning standards does create an
unreasonable burden in light of the purpose to be served by the standards.
7. The case for the variances was not supported by substantial reference
to or reliance upon legal or non-conforming precedent(s).
8. Granting the variances will not adversely affect the overall zoning
design, plan or concept for either the immediate area or the entire County.
9. The case for a variances was not based substantially upon a lack of
reasonable economic return nor a claim that the existing structure is too
sma 11.
10. Granting of the variances will not be inconsistent with the general
purpose and intent of the Comprehensive Plan.
11. The practical difficulty which gives rise to the variances request
did exist before the present owner acquired the property.
12. The granting of the variances wi 11 not result in defacto zone
reclassification.
13. The requested variances are not substantially for the purpose of
circumventing density regulations designed to protect the Spokane
Yalley-Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer.
14. While the project does not comply with every detail of the provisions
of the Spokane County Zoning Ordinance, the project does not violate the
spirit or intent of the ordinance.
15. Various performance standards and criteria are additionally needed to
make the use compatible with other permitted activities in the same vicinity
and zone and to ensure against imposing excessive demands upon public
utilities and these shall be addressed as conditions of approval.
16. The proposal will not be detrimental to the Comprehensive Plan or the
surrounding properties.
17. The Zoning Adjustor may require such conditions of approval as
necessary and appropriate to make the project most compatible with the public
interest and general welfare.
18. Any finding hereinbefore stated which may be deemed a conclusion
herein is adopted as such.
DECISION
From the foregoing Findings and Conclusions, the Zoning Adjustor APPROVES
the proposal, including acting on behalf of the Subdivision Administrator to
approve the associated Certificate of Exemption. The following CONDITIONS OF
APPROVAL ARE STIPULATED.
