VARIANCE BURDEN of PROOF Form NAME: Arthur T. Ladd & Stewart G. Ailor
r 1LE NUMBER
Introduction to this form:
A "variance" is the means by which an adjustment is made in the application of the specific
regulations of the zoning classification for a particular (the subject) piece of property. This
property, because of special circumstances applicable to it, is deprived of privileges commonly
enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and in a similar zone classification. This adjustment
remedies the difference in privileges. A variance shall not authorize a use otherwise prohibited in
the zone classification in which the property is located.
The following questions will help to determine the outcome of your request. Your request
requires accurate and complete responses. First circle either the "yes" or the "no" answer(s)
following the questions below as they apply to your situation and then explain as needed (in the
space provided) to make your unique situation clear. Certain phrases from the Spokane County
Zoning-Code section on-variances are included in these questions: Tney are underlined. . .
If your request is a ROAD FRONTAGE VARIANCE please answer only questions A,B,C,D,
and E.
A. Will this variance permit a use which is otherwise prohibited in this zone? Yes No
Explain: S. 1511/1513 Duplex was completed in 1968 under the land use Inning
allowable at the time. The owner wants to rebuild the duplex garages for continued
utility by his tenants after the County road widening project diminishes current
B. Are there special circumstances (lot size, shape, topography, location, access, garage uses.
surroundings, etc.) which apply to the subject property and which may not
not apply to other properties in the vicinity? s No
Explain : The County road widening protect (CRP 2298) practically eliminates
off street parking in duplex driveways . The planned sidewalk will be within
5 feet of the existing garages also creating a dangerous back out problem for tenants
and pedestrians, many of whom will be children walking to Univcrsity Elcmcntary across
from this property.
C. Is the subject property deprived of privileges commonly enjoyed by other
properties in the vicinity and in a similar zone classification? Y s No
Explain : Loss of the existing double garage u.tj lity (S. 1513 University unit)
and off street driveway parking (S. 1511 & 1513 University) . In addition owners
will loose front yard buffer with new right of way 5. 5 feet from duplex (see plans) .
The duplex will be less desirable to renters and it's rental & resale value will suffe
D. Will this variance be harmful to the public welfare or to other properties in
the vicinity and a similar zone classification? Yes No r
Explain: No. Existing duplex utility will be maintained through a garage retrofit
Vehicular and pedestrian traffic will be aided with the County road project planned:
Widened road (4 lane) , turn lane at arterials, sidewalk & crosswalk, traffic lights.
E. Are there other similar sirua ' s in the vicinity in a similar zone classification? e-, No
Are they permitted uses ?(...yes No Are they "nonconforming" uses? Yes i No
Explain: CRP 2298 road project has put numerous properties nn University Rnad
into a non-conformance category; Referring to the attached County CRP-2298 plan,

#4,#5,#32, #14, #20, #42, #18 and #48 all are non conforming to front set back code.
F. Could the subject property be put to a reasonable and permitted use by you or
another person without the requested variance? Yes No
tiff£ CXPLANiT10 AJ
Explain: The property could be put to limited use at a greatly diminished utility
and loss of rent base due to County Road project changes impacting the duplex. The
owner is attempting to keep the property desirable through retrofitting.
G. If this request is granted, will the subject property be more environmentally sensiti
energy conserving, or will it promote the use of an historic property? No
Explain: The owners are architects and have designed the garages and landscape
to blend in with the existing residential style of the area. The retrofitting is
intended to compliment and enhance the utility of the existing duplex.
Over please
Rev: 5/22/90 Page 1
H. If this variance is granted, will the broader public need or interest be served? Yes No
Explain: Absolutely, for without the right of way from the owners, vehicular and
pedestrian safety will be put at risk at 16th and University. The owners plan to
remove the existing double garage at S 1513 thus opening up visibility at the N.H. corse
I. Will this variance be inconsistent with the purpose of the zoning which applies
to the subject property?
Yes No
Explain: Residential use of the neighborhood will be maintained unaffected by
the planned garage retrofitting. Without the retrofitting, the owners may be forced
to sell outright to the County who could then resell the property "as is" after the
road project, or demolish it elimating (2) viable rental units from the housing market.
J Will approval of this variance grant to the subject property the privileges of a different
zone classification (in other words would this be a "de facto" zone change)? YesNo
Explain: The property use remains status quo. This should not set a preceedent
for land use at it is unique to this property coused by the County road project.
K. Will this variance be inconsistent with the general purpose and intent of the
Comprehensive Plan?
YesNo
Explain The site has been a duplex since 1968 and is grandfathered in for
that use and designed exclusively for that use. Building design and landscaping
is consistant with the residential neighborhood. The owners live next door to duplex
for 30 years and keep it is good condition.
L. Is this variance required for a reasonable economic return from the subject prope
or is the existing structure too small?
ID No
Explain: The duplex has been economically viable since 1968. The County's road
project will eliminate off street parking, garage use and put the sidewalk right
next to the building. This in turn will greatly impact rentability and resale value.
The rental income was to be the owner's retirementi'nest egg/f
M Did the practical difficulty which caused you to apply for this variance exist
before you owned the subject property?
Yes 0,
Explain: This duplex did not have set back problems prior to the County acquiring
2,759 sq. ft. for road right of way. It has been economically viable since 1968.
N. If approved, would this variance affect land use density regulations which exist
to protect the Rathdrum/Spokane Aquifer?
Yes eo
Explain:_ On the contrary, this duplex is scheduled , to be connected to the County
sewer system which will be installed concurrent with the road widening project.
The septic system will then be abandoned to code. Drainage is engineered for CRP 2298
for optimum runo contro .y po ane oun y via i s roa. p oj -
The following space is for further explanation. Your application will get better consideration if
what, how, and why you propose your application is clear. Attach an additional page(s) if needed.
Spokane County is causing an undue 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 desirability as a rental.
As the owner lives 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 retrofittin the
Leaving the duplex "as is" creates avisibility g garages at S. 1511/1513 University
and a access safety problem for duplex tenants inr parking and garage selem at the N.E. e r as to pedestriof 16th & an and rsity
vehicular accomodation. Retrofitting the garages eliminates the sight hazard at this corner
and maintains the viability of the owners long term investment in this property.
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 BRIEF 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).

STEWART G. AILOR )
COMPANION FILES: AEE-103-91 ) j
ADDRESS: 1511 AND 1513 S. UNIVERSITY
PARCEL NUMBER: 45213.9213
APPLICATION DESCRIPTION: The applicant is requesting permission to build an
attached two-car garage at 1513 S.University with a front yard setback of 16.5 feet from the
front (16th Avenue)property line; whereas, section 14.616.325.A.1. of the Zoning Code of
Spokane County requires a front yard setback of 25 feet from the property line. Additionally,
applicant requests permission to build an attached one-car garage at 1511 S.University with a
flanking street yard setback of 20 feet from (University Road) property line; whereas, section
14.616.325.A.3. of the Zoning Code of Spokane County requires flanking street yard setback
of 25 feet from the property line. Furthermore, the applicant requests permission to construct a
6 foot tall sight-obscuring fence in the flanking street yard (University Road); whereas, section
14.810.020.1. requires that no sight-obscuring fence more than 36 inches in height may be
erected within the flanking street yard of any lot used for residential purposes. Authority to
consider such a request exists pursuant to section 14.404.080 of the Zoning Code for Spokane
County and Spokane County Board of County Commissioners resolution No. 89 0708, as
may be amended.
PROJECT LOCATION: Located in Spokane Valley, on the northeast corner of University
Road and 16th Avenue in the SW 1/4 of Section 21, Township 25 N, Range 44 EWM; 1511
and 1513 E. University Road.
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 October 9, 1991, the Zoning Adjustor renders a written decision on h2.`i t h
C-1-361 , 1991 to APPROVE the application.
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 Zoning Adjustor determined that this
proposal is generally consistent, as conditioned, with the Urban category of the
Comprehensive Plan.
3. The site is zoned Urban Residential-3.5 (UR-3.5), which allows the proposed use
upon approval of this application.
CASE NO. VE-25-91 SPOKANE COUNTY ZONING ADJUSTOR PAGE 2
4. The existing land uses in the area of the proposal include residences, an auto service
station and a school, all of which are compatible with the proposal.
5. The proposal is exempt from the provisions of the Washington State Environmental
Policy Acg, Chapter 43.21C RCW pursuant to WAC 197-11-800 (6) (b).
6. The need to grant these variances is a result of a Spokane County road project
which requires acquisition of land on University Road and 16th Avenue. This acquisition
renders both existing garages and driveways nearly useless. The property is substantially
burdened(by acquisition) with view restrictions,loss of off-street parking area and loss of
privacy. The proposed garages' locations and the fence overcome the practical difficulties by
allowing internal privacy; in the case of the fence and adequate garages and driveways,while
not unduly compromising the size of the back yard.
7. 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.
8. Granting the variance will be neither materially detrimental to the public welfare nor
injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity and zone.
9. Strict application of the zoning standards does create an unreasonable burden in
light of the purpose to be served by the standards.
