After respectful consideration of the above referenced application including
-site inspection of the subject property, and after timely notification n
hearing,,, the Fort Townsend Planning Corrmission hereby submits to the City
Cunc i t the f l l owing findings and conclusions:
F indi of Fact
1. Applicant proposes a 576 sq. ft, addition to an existing 1538 sq, ft*
single-family residence. The present structure is legal, -non-conforming o
"grandfathered" under current zoning. There are three non-conformities under
the requirements of the existing -I zoning applicable to the property:
A. An 11 ft, front setback; a. 20 ft. setback is required.
B. A covered carport which extends to within 4 1/2 f t. of the rear (eas t
lot line sum to be the east fence line) ; all buildings must be a
minim of 5 ft. from side and rear property lines (PTMC 17a20,020)
.
O. An existing separation from the adjacent single-family dwelling to the
east of 7 1/2 ft; a n=mum of 10 ft. is required ( TG 17.2 0. 2 0 .
The proposed addition would extend to within 1.0 ft., of the rear (east) property
line, requiring a variance from the required 20 ft, setback,
2. The gear, (east) lot lime of the subject property abuts the + est sideyard of
the adjacent single-family residence.
3. The north sideyard of the su3eot property abuts the south wall of the
Pacific Northwest Bell facility at Van Buren and Lawrence. The Douse faces
west to Van Buren; Clay street borders the south sideyard*

. The proposed addition would leave a 16 ft. north sideyard and the existing
26 ft. south sideyard. The the total building footprint (including the
carport) would Doze 2114 sq. ft. , completer filling,, the allowed 3 lot
coverage of this 55 ft. X 11.0 ft. lot.

415 26th (SE corner of 26th and Discovery Rd.
Background
Applicant proposes a 640 sq. ft. garage within 5 ft. of the existing 1300 sq.
ft. single-family residence, requiring a variance from the required to ft.
separation between buildings.
f
The proposed garage would be constructed in the southwest corner of the
property; Discovery Road is to the west; there is a vacant lot to the south.
The east property line abuts ars existing single-family dwelling; 26th St.+
borders the property to the north. ;
The property is impacted by traffic noise from heavily-travelled Discovery Road
and, dine to the diagonal orientation of Discovery Road, the lot is irregularly
shaped. These two conditions make construction of the garage within the
separation requirements of the zoning code impassible Without removing
substantial section of the noise-bufferi
