I have been retained by Mr. Johnson to resolve a problem he is
having with the County Building Department. My clients applied for
a permit regarding several additions to their home in 1981. Permit
#81A-8364 clearly states that the permit included the addition of
the family room. Upon completion of the family room in 1985, Mr.
Johnson called the building department for an inspection of the
final addition under the 1981 permit. Mr. Johnson had no response
from the building department. Clearly, the inspector in 1984
incorrectly closed the permit since the family room had not been
completed.
Mr. Johnson has tried for several months to obtain a variance for
the family room addition. According to the Spokane Municipal Code,
11.19.520, Yards Assessory Uses, assessory structures for R-1 zones
must set back at least "sixty feet from the front property line."
The addition to the Johnson's residence in question does meet these
set back requirements. There is a twenty five foot radius on the
side corner lot with respect to the addition in question. Bill
Moser stated that the radius was adequate to permit the administra-
tive variance, however, Jeff Forry has stated to my clients that
they will never get a variance on their property. In fact they
have received a different answer from every person in the building
department that they have contacted regarding this family room
addition.

Please advise me as to whether this problem can be solved
tratively. My clients want to sell their home as soon as
and do not want to have problems with title insurance.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. If
any questions, please contact me.
Sincerely,
O'COYNE & PHILLIPS, P.S.
