Upon a motion by Board Member ABBOTT, seconded by Board Member HOVLAND, the
following resolution was stated:
WHEREAS, the applicant was denied permission by an administrative officer; and

from the decision of an administrative officer; and
WHEREAS, the property has been posted the required fifteen days by law and there were no
protests registered against it; and
WHEREAS, the relief applied for may not be granted without detriment to the public welfare
and without substantially impairing the intent and purpose of the regulations governing the City

WA-98-15 be, and hereby is, DENIED.
TYPE OF VARIANCE: Request for approval of a 9% building coverage to the 25% maximum
building coverage requirement for the purpose of building a single family home.
FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
1. This request for 1,141 square foot variance would seem unreasonable given the
described hardships and/or circumstances i.e., errors by design professionals.
A 3,176 square foot structure may be completed without need for a variance.
Approval of this request does not comply with the intent and purpose of the
Residential-One Zone District and the low density residential character.
