NOTICE
It is the responsibility of the permittee, not Spokane County, to see to it that the use described on the front of this permit
complies with applicable codes and requirements and that required inspections are requested. Failure to request required
inspections and obtain the necessary approvals prior to progressing beyond the point where inspections are required may
necessitate removal of certain parts of the construction at the owner's/permittee's expense. At a minimum, the following
inspections ARE REQUIRED by County Code:
1. FOOTING — when forms and reinforcement are in place and prior to placement of concrete.
NOTE: This inspection includes review of the structure's setbacks from property lines. Minimum setbacks are
established by County zoning regulations. Typically, side and rear yard setbacks are measured from property
lines, while setbacks for yards abutting streets are measured from the property line or the center line of the
roadway right-of-way, whichever provides the greater setback from the center line of the roadway right-of-way.
Curb lines and fence lines are not necessarily indicative of property lines. In some residential areas, the County
can own as much as 20 feet of right-of-way between your property and the actual improved street/curb. The
responsibility to comply with applicable setback provisions lies solely with the permittee — neither Spokane
County nor its authorized representatives assume any responsibility for the verification or location of your
property lines. Please verify their location prior to locating your structure. Failure to properly locate the structure
may require its relocation at the owner's/permittee's expense.
2. FOUNDATION—when forms and reinforcement are in place and prior to placement of concrete. (Blocking fora
manufactured home is required to be inspected prior to the installation of skirting.)
3. FRAMING — after all framing, bracing and blocking is in place, and prior to concealing.
4. INSULATION — prior to the installation of drywall.
5. PLUMBING — after rough -in, before covering, and final.
6. MECHANICAL — rough -in of piping, before covering, metal chimneys before concealment, and final.
7. FINAL — when complete and prior to occupancy and/or use. Please provide 24 hours notice.
NOTE: In addition to inspection of the structure, this inspection includes review of site improvements (typically
depicted on the approved site plan) required by ordinance or as a condition of approval of this permit. Items such
as the installation of fire hydrants, fire department access, on-site drainage ("208 swales"), road improvements,
parking, and landscaping are common requirements of a permit/site plan which must be completed prior to final
approval of a building or issurance of a Certificate of Occupancy.
In addition to the above any plumbing or mechanical systems or materials which would be concealed by framing, drywall,
concrete, etc., must be inspected prior to cover. Check with the department for "special inspections" in conjunction with
commercial projects.

SPOKANE COUNTY, WASHINGTON
IN THE MATTER OF A VARIANCE FROM )
MINIMUM FRONTYARD STANDARDS ) FINDINGS OF FACT,
FILE: VE -5-92 ) CONCLUSIONS,
APPLICANT: SUSAN ANDERSON ) AND DECISION
COMPANION FILE(S): CE -61-92 )
PARCEL NUMBER: 55181.2310 )
APPLICATION DESCRIPTION: The applicant proposes to build an addition onto the
front of the existing residence, creating an approximate 40 foot front yard setback from the
centerline of Sinto Avenue right of way; whereas, section 14.616.325. A.1. of the Zoning
Code of Spokane County requires a minimum front yard setback of 55 feet from the centerline
of the roadway right of way. Authority to consider such a request exists pursuant to section
14.404.080 of the Zoning Code of Spokane County and Spokane County Board of County
Commissioners resolution No. 89 0708, as may be amended.
PROJECT LOCATION: East central Spokane Valley, north of and adjacent to Sinto
Avenue and approximately 500 feet west of Barker Road, in the NE 1/4 of Section 18,
Township 25N, Range 45 EWM; 18505 E. Sinto.
OPPONENTS OF RECORD: NONE
PUBLIC HEARING AND DECISION: After consideration of all available information
on file, exhibits submitted and testimony received during the course of the public hearing held
on May 23, 1992, the Zoning Adjustor rendered a written decision on June / ? , 1992 to
APPROVE the application as set forth in the file documents and as conditioned below.
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS
1. The proposal is described above and detailed in documents contained in the file.
2. In compliance with RCW 36.70.450, the Planning Department determined that this
proposal is generally consistent, as conditioned, with the Urban category of the
Comprehensive Plan.
3. The site is zoned UR - 3.5, which allows the proposed use upon approval of this
application.
4. The existing land uses in the area of the proposal include single family dwellings,
several of which are closer to the street than the regulations requires, all of which are
compatible with the proposal. A visual inspection of the street involved shows that numerous
buildings are built substantially closer that the setbacks. Some of these are older buildings and
predate building permit records. The applicant submitted four building permits with the intent
to show, apparently, that variances or deviations have been granted. In fact, one was for a
corner lot in which a flanking street 15 foot setback was being used for an example (southeast
corner of Greenacres Road and Sinto Avenue). One was for an carport attached to a garage
and it was unclear as to the location with respect to any property dimension. The third was a
patio on an existing slab attached to a residence and there appeared to be no front yard setback
CASE NO. VE -5-92 SPOKANE COUNTY ZONING ADJUSTOR PAGE 2
involved at all. The final one was for a Waiver of Violation in which an illegal structure had
been build to within 19 and 1/2 feet from Sinto right of way. This variance would bring the
front of the building to within 20 feet of the front property line. There does not appear to be
lawfully established precedent to grant such a variance. On the other hand, the existing
residence already is closer than 55 feet to the center line of the roadway right of way, thus
being in violation. Apparently the older zoning ordinances in effect at the time of the
construction of most of the houses on this street had less of a setback thus placing most of
these buildings as nonconforming uses under the present Zoning Code.
5 . 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).
6. There are special circumstances which affect the subject property and make the
applicant's proposal reasonable in light of the variance criteria. The dwelling unit itself is
substandard in size, being about 950 square feet on the main floor with.a presently non-habital
(sleeping space) lower level. The house is designed so that the bedroom space is on the back
side of the house, with kitchen, dining room and living room space across the front of the
house. A garage exists to the west, thus prohibiting expansion to the west. A septic tank and
drainfield exists to the north (back yard), prohibiting expansion in that direction. A
Washington Water Power natural gas line exists on the east side of the house, thus
complicating expansion in that direction. The applicant claims that neither the kitchen, dining
room nor living room is singularly large enough for the 6 members of the family to occupy the
same room. Expansion of these three spaces toward to street by 10 feet, will nearly double the
capacity of the kitchen, dining room and living room area. The basement will also be expanded
and improved to the standards of sleeping space quality, thus providing a minimal size house
(about 1380 square feet on the main floor with a sleeping -space -approved lower level) suitable
for occupancy by a family of 6. Without this improvement, most families would find the
house and property disadvantaged.
7. A Title Notice for future acquisition of approximately 5 feet of the front yard should
be filed in order to comply with the Arterial Plan. Additionally, the applicant shall absolve the
County of any claims which may be brought by this applicant or any subsequent owners
regarding the presence of a road so close to the building if, in fact, additional right of way is
sought for expansion of Sinto Avenue. Future owners should be fully alerted to the possibility
of the expansion of Sinto Avenue and that Spokane County will not reimburse the owner or
future owners regarding functional obsolescence of the proposed building due to noise and
proximity of the road.
8. The applicant has been made aware of the recommendations of various County
agencies reviewing this project and has indicated those recommendations are acceptable.
9. The proper legal requirements for advertising of the hearing before the Zoning
Adjustor of Spokane County have been met.
10. No adverse testimony or written comments were received regarding the proposal.
11. 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.
RP -Decision VE -5-92 Anderson
CASE NO. VE -5-92 SPOKANE COUNTY ZONING ADJUSTOR PAGE 3
12. 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.
13. With the conditions of approval set forth below, the variance 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 Code is achieved with regard
to location, site design, appearance, landscaping, etc.; and c) protect the environment, public
interest and general welfare.
DECISION
From the foregoing Findings and Conclusions, the Zoning Adjustor APPROVES
the proposal as generally set forth in the file documents, subject to compliance with the
following
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
I. GENERAL
1. The following conditions shall apply to the applicant, owner and successors in
interest and shall run with the land.
2. Failure to comply with any of the conditions of approval contained in this decision,
except as may be relieved by the Zoning Adjustor, shall constitute a violation of the Zoning
Code for Spokane County and be subject to such enforcement as is appropriate.
3. The Zoning Adjustor may administratively make minor adjustments to site plans or
the conditions of approval as may be judged by the Zoning Adjustor to be within the context of
the original decision.
II. PLANNING DEPARTMENT
1. This parcel shall not be further subdivided unless consistent with RCW 58.17,
the various county subdivision regulations and the Spokane County Comprehensive Plan for
the area.
2. The applicant shall develop subject property generally in accordance within the
concept presented to the Hearing Body. Variations, when approved by the Planning
Director/designee, may be permitted, including, but not limited to building location, landscape
plans and general allowable uses of the permitted zone. All variations must conform to
regulations set forth in the Zoning Code for Spokane County, and the original intent of the
development plans shall be maintained.
RP -Decision VE -5-92 Anderson
CASE NO. VE -5-92 SPOKANE COUNTY ZONING ADJUSTOR PAGE 4
1. The Spokane County Planning Department shall prepare and record with the
County Auditor a Title Notice specifying a future land acquisition area for road right-of-way
and utilities. The reservedfuture acquisition area Title Notice shall be released, in full or in
part, by the Planning Department. The notice should be recorded within the same time frame
as an appeal and shall provide the following:
a, At least 5 feet of reserved future acquisition area for road right-of-way and
utilities, in addition to the existing and/or newly dedicated right-of-way along
Sinto Avenue. NOTE: The County Engineer has required 0 feet of new
dedication.
b. Future building and other setbacks required by the Spokane County Zoning Code
shall be measured from the reserved future acquisition area.
c. No required landscaping, parking, '208' areas, drainfield or allowed signs should
be located within the future acquisition area for road right-of-way and utilities. If
any of the above improvements are made within this area, they shall be relocated
at the applicant's expense when roadway improvements are made.
d. The future acquisition area, until acquired, shall be private property and may be
used as allowed in the zone, except that any improvements (such as landscaping,
parking, surface drainage, drainfield, signs or others) shall be considered interim
uses.
4. The above Title Notice shall be amended to cover Engineer's Conditions of
Approval No. VI.1.
III. DEPARTMENT OF BUILDINGS
1. The issuance of a building permit by the Department of Buildings is required.
2. Requirements of Fire District No. 1 need to be satisfied during the building or
occupancy permit process.
IV. DIVISION OF UTILITIES
None is needed.
V. HEALTH DISTRICT
None is needed.
RP -Decision VE -5-92 Anderson
CASE NO. VE -5-92 SPOKANE COUNTY ZONING ADJUSTOR PAGE 5
VI. DIVISION OF ENGINEERING AND ROADS
1. Sinto Avenue is currently substandard in regards to right of way width. A Local
Access street should be 50 feet in width, with an improved surface of 36 feet. This would
mean that an additional 5 feet of right of way in the future would be required to being Sinto
Avenue into compliance with the Spokane County Road Standards. Five feet of right of way is
not being requested at this time because of the nature of this land use action.
2. The applicant is advised that Spokane County will not reimburse the owner or
future owners regarding functional obsolescence of the proposed building due to noise and
proximity of the road.
NOTICE: PENDING COMPLETION OF ALL CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL WHICH
NEED TO BE COMPLETED PRIOR TO PERMIT ISSUANCE, PERMITS MAY BE
RELEASED PRIOR TO THE LAPSE OF THE TEN (10) -DAY APPEAL PERIOD.
HOWEVER, THE COUNTY HAS NO LIABILITY FOR EXPENSES AND
INCONVENIENCE INCURRED BY THE APPLICANT IF THE PROJECT APPROVAL IS
OVERTURNED OR ALTERED UPON APPEAL.
