COVENANT FOR LOTS $, 6, 7 & 8 OF BLOCK $ IN THE WEYMOUTH AND

The City Council of the City of Port Townsend, Washington, does resolve as follows:
WHEREAS, Lots 5-8 of Block 5 in the Weymouth and. Dyer Addition to the City of Port
Townsend is zoned R-l; and
Section 17.16.010 of the Port Townsend Municipal Code (PTMC) defines an R-1
zone as primarily a single-family residence district and including the customary
accessory secondary uses; and
WHEREAS, Chapter 17.08 defines an accessory building as subordinate, the use of which is
incidental to the use of the main building on the same lot; and
WHEREAS, on September 26, 1994, Robert and Evenell Monica applied for a permit, building
permit #9410-01, to construct a boat storage shed; and
WHEREAS, a boat storage shed is considered an accessory use in an R-1 zone and therefor
must be situated on the same lot as the primary residence; and
the proposed boat storage shed was located on a lot separate from the main
residence and therefor required a restrictive covenant to combine the four lots into
one building site; and
WHEREAS, a restrictive covenant tying together lots 5-8 was recorded with the Jefferson
County Auditor on October 25, 1994; and
WHEREAS, a moving permit was obtained by Robert and Evenell Monica onMay 17, 1996, to
remove the boat storage shed from said property; and
WHEREAS, an inspection by the City Building Inspector on May 21, 1996, verified that the
boat storage shed has been removed from said property; and
WHEREAS, the restrictive covenant is no longer required under the Zoning Code (Title 17,
PTMC),
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Port Townsend
that it authorizes the Mayor to sign a revocation of restrictive covenant releasing lots 5 & 6 from
the provisions of a single building site with lots 7 and 8, Block 5, Weymouth and Dyer Addition
to the City of Port Townsend in substantially the same form as the attached.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Port Townsend this 3rd day of June 1996.
