APPLICANT'S NAME: Amy Coffey
WHEREAS, application Case No. WA -19-01 was not eligible for administrative review; and
WHEREAS, the property has been posted the fifteen days required by law and in recognition
that there were no protests registered against it; and
WHEREAS, the relief applied for may be granted without detriment to the public welfare and
without substantially impairing the intent and purpose of the regulations governing the City of

TYPE OF VARIANCE:
Request for approval of three variance on property located in the Residential -One C (R -1C) zone
district:
• Request A: a five-foot (100%) variance from the five-foot side setback requirement for
the deck, resulting in a 0 -foot setback for the deck,
• Request B: a two -foot six-inch (50%) variance from the five-foot side setback for an
above ground pool resulting in a two -foot six-inch setback, and
• Request C: a two -foot two-inch (36.1%) variance from the maximum allowed fence
height of six -feet resulting in a privacy fence up to eight -foot two -inches in height. The
eight -foot two -inches at the high point is due to a change of grade.
FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
1. The variance would not alter the essential character of the locality.
2. The physical location of the home on the property and the topography both present a
particular and unique hardship.
3. The alleged difficulty or hardship has not been created by any person presently
having an interest in the property.
4. The request would not be detrimental to public welfare.
5. The therapy pool provides a reasonable accommodation for treatment of arthritis.
6. The majority of the variance criteria have been met.
7. Any other location would be more detrimental to the locality of the pool and deck.

8. The height of the west side privacy fence should cause no negative impact to the
property owner to the west as that house is a significant distance to the north of the
proposed deck and pool.

depicted in the application materials, subject to staff review and approval through
review of a building permit.
