IFi ndi ngs PUBLI C HEAR I NGS 1. Applicant proposes construction of a single-family dwelling at Lincoln Beach, Tract D of Block 143 and a portion of Block 142 of the Original Township of Port Townsend. A variance is requested to permit a front setback of seven feet rather than the required twenty feet. The property is lo~cated on Admiralty Inlet at Lincoln Beach, adjacent to Point Hudson. Although the lot measures 73 X 165 feet, only 98 feet of the depth of the lot remains upland of the required shoreline setback. The proposed dwelling is to be a rectangular, single story structure having 2,050 square feet of floor area, and is to be sited perpendicular to the shoreline. This configuration would leave approximately twice the required I side setbacks, preserving more neighborhood views of the shoreline than would a wider structure. 14. The front of the subject property has been determined to be the upland (south- ! western) side and is adjacent to a lot which is reserved for community uses II' by the covenants of the subdivision. 5. A twenty feet square portion of the western corner of the subject property is . also reserved by easement. ¡cone 1 us ions ! 11. The proposed variance would not amount to a rezone nor constitute change in I the district boundaries shown on the official zoning map. 2. The restraints imposed by the setback requirements of the Shoreline Master I Program, the easement reserved in the western corner of the property and the I reservation of community area abutting the front property line constitute i special circumstances which do not result from actions of the applicant and I which are peculiar to the subject property and are not applicable to other : lands in the district. 13. The variance requested would not confer a special privilege to the subject , property that is denied to other lands in the same district. 14. The granting of the variance would not be detrimental to the public welfare 01 I injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which ¡ the property is situated. 15. The reasons set forth in the above referenced application justify the grantin~ I of the variance and the variance is the minimum variance that will make possillile I the reasonable use of the land. ¡The variance will be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of Title 17 ¡(zoning) of the Port Townsend Municipal Code. i ¡ \ I 12.
