Variance Application 9205-01 -Elizabeth Berman. Ms Bloomfield reviewed the findings, conclusions and conditions of the Planning Commission recommending approval of the variance. Mayor Clise opened the hearing to the Public. Elizabeth Berman, the proponent, was recognized and spoke in favor of the variance. Loren Knutson, a neighbor, was recognized spoke in favor the variance. There being no further testimony, Mayor Clise closed the hearing to the Public and turned to the Council for disposition. After discussion, Councilmember Camfield made a motion that the Council adopt the following findings, conclusions and conditions and approve Variance Application 9205-01 which was seconded by Councilmember McCulloch and passed unanimously by roll call vote. Findings: 1. The proposes to build three single-family residences with a 5- foot side setback and a 10-foot side setback on thrE~e lots located in the P-I zoning district. The Port Townsend Municipal Code (PTMC) requires 10-foot setbacks on each side in the P-I zoning district. 2. The lots are bordered to the east by Kuhn street, to thl9 north by 58th Street and to the south by 57th Street. The lots are legally described as Lots 1, 7 and 8 of Block 42 in the California Addition to the City of Port Townsend. The remainder of the subject block is developed with single--family residences. The block to the north which is also zoned P-I is the site of a county park. The surrounding blocks tot he west, east and south, which are all zoned R-I, are also developed with residences. 3. The applicant proposes three re~idences with 5-foot interior side setbacks to the respective western property lines. The side setbacks from abutting Kuhn Street are proposed to be 10 feet. 4. Although it is difficult to accurately establish the location of the lot lines for the remainder of the block, the existing residences appear to have been built to the 10-foot !;etback requirement of the P-I zoning district. The surrounding neighborhood is developed to the R-I zoning requirements. Conclusions: 1. The proposed variance would not amount to a rezone nor constitute change in the district boundaries shown on the official zoning map. 2. Because of the more restrictive setbacks on a P-I lot and because surrounding properties are all developed as residential, a literal interpretation of the provisions: of the Port Townsend Municipal Code would deprive the property owner of the rights commonly enjoyed by other properties similarly situated in the district under Title 17 (Zoning). 53 54 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR SESSION OF AUGUST 3, 1992, Cont. 3. with the conditions prescribed below, and because other residences in the surrounding properties within the R-I zone are developed to the setbacks ~equested, and because the subject block is developed exclusively as residential, the variance would not, if granted, confer a special privilege to the subject property that is denied to other lands in the same district. 4. The granting of the variance would not be detrimental to the public welfare and injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which the property is situated. 5. The reasons set forth in the above-referenced application justify the granting of the variance, and the variance is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of the land. 6. Because the granting of the variance would be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of Title 17 (Zoning) of the Port Townsend Municipal Code, the City Council grants the variance as conditioned. Conditions: 1. If the subject lots are developed for any use other than residential, this variance shall automatically become null and void. 2. The height limit on the subject lots shall be 30 feet. UNFINISHED BUSINESS Ordinance Establishing Garbage Deposits. ORDINANCE NO 2310 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 3.36.040 OF THE PORT TOWNSEND MUNICIPAL CODE TO ALLOW THE COLLECTION OF REASONABLE ADVANCE DEPOSITS FOR GARBAGE FEES BY THE CLERK/TREASURER.
