Grove, III & Nancy B. Grove, trustees APPLICANT: Coleman Creek Construction DESCRIPTION: A request for a Conditional Use Permit to exceed the Maximum Pennitted Floor Area (MPFA) in the Historic District by 25 percent for the property at 104 Bush Street. The proposal involves a 70 square foot addition for a single car garage to be accessed from Bush Street. The application also includes a request for are Exception to Street Standards to allow a section of sidewalk to be installed curbside to allow the repair of a section of sidewalk raised by tree roots while seeking to preserve a 30- inch diameter Douglas Fir tree on the adjacent property. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION: Single -Family Residential; ZONING: R-1-7.5; ASSESSOR'S MAP: 39 lE 08AA; TAX LOT 4: 1000 SUBMITTAL DATE: September 28, 2020 DEEMED COMPLETE DATE: October 27, 2020 STAFF APPROVAL DATE: December 10, 2020 DEADLINE TO APPEAL (4:30 p.m.): December 23, 2020 FINAL DECISION DATE (4:30 p.m.): December 23, 2020 APPROVAL EXPIRATION DATE: June 23, 2022 DECISION Subject Property The subject property is located at 104 Bush Street, at the comer of Bush and High Streets, and is zoned Single -Family Residential (R-1-7.5). The property is in the Skidmore Academy Historic District, and is designated the "Schweiger House." It was constructed in 1992 after a smaller bungalow that had previously occupied the prominent corner location was removed. The property is considered to be "non- historic/non-contributing" in the Skidmore Academy District resource inventory. The photo (Exhibit S-1) below depicts the existing home and garage as they relate to the Bush Street streetscape: PA-T1-2020-00128 104 Bush Streetldds Page 1 Staff Exhibit S-1. Existing Garage Doors Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to Exceed the Maximum Permitted Floor Area (MPFA) The application requests CUP approval to allow the home to exceed the MPFA within the Historic District by the maximum code -allowed amount of 25 percent. The proposal involves a 70 square foot addition for a single car garage to be accessed frorn Bush Street. This addition would be 64" x I V to the Bush Street fagade, and would achieve the look of a smaller, single car garage by replacing the two garage doors now facing Bush Street with a single garage door and a separate, standard entry door as illustrated in Staff Exhibit S-2 below. Staff Exhibit S-,2. Proposed Addition & Change in Garage Face As noted above, the existing home was built in 1992 before the 'AdavInium House &ze'ordinance was put in place to establish MPFA limits for historic district properties. As constructed in 1992, the home included an attached two -car garage and already significantly exceeded the square footage limits that were subsequently adopted with the 'Alfaximum 11ouse Size' ordinance (i.e. the existing home has legal, non- conforming structure status with regard to the MPFA). A previous owner enclosed the attached two -car garage to create additional living space, without permits, prior to the current owners' acquisition of the property. However, the two garage doors facing Bush Street were retained. After purchasing the home, the current owners addressed the permitting requirements for this work. With the on -going restrictions due to the pandernic, the owners are now spending more time at horne and would like to have a garage as PA-TI -20?20-00128 104 Bush Street/dds Page 2 colder weather approaches but are trying to retain their existing living space. They have worked to achieve a design that will meet their needs while addressing the MPFA (i.e. within the 25% overage alloived with a CUP) on a non -historic, non-contributing home that is already legally -non -conforming with regard to the MPFA and which still has two prominent garage doors facing Bush Street where the Historic District Development Standards generally suggest that single -width garage doors more effectively retain the historic character of the surrounding neighborhood while double -width. garage doors detract frown that character. Requests to exceed the MPFA are reviewed in light of the Conditional Use Permit criteria and the Historic District Development Standards, with the I-listoric Commission to serve an advisory role to the decision makers. The Historic Commission was scheduled to consider this action at its regular meeting on November 4, 2020 however there was no quorum for this meeting. In staffs assessment, given that the existing home is non - hi storic/rion.-contributing and already exceeds the MPFA, that the addition proposed here is minimal, and that the removal of the double -width garage doors in favor of a single -width door is generally more in keeping with the character of the district and the neighborhood, staff believe that the request merits approval. A condition has been included below to require that the colors, materials, architectural details and trim match the existing building, Exception to the Street Design Standards The application also includes a request for an Exception to the Street Design Standards to allow a section of sidewalk to be removed and re -installed curbside to allow the repair of a section of'sidewalk raised by tree roots while seeking to preserve a 30-inch diameter Douglas Fir tree (Tree #19) on the property immediately uphill. The uphill neighbors have submitted a written statement in favor of the applicant's efforts to preserve the tree on their property. The application materials explain that the existing sidewalk is raised at least eight -inches, and the location of the tree relative to the driveway is such that attempting to ramp or float the sidewalk over the tree's root structure would make an impossible approach at the driveway as it would be too steep and would not have enough grade to make the transition gradual, Public Works and Engineering staff have met with the applicant on site and confirtned this assessment. With this in mind, the applicant has met on -site with arborist Chris John of Canopy LLC, who found the tree to be in good health but indicated that it will need relief from the current sidewalk impacts to ensure its longevity. Staff Exhibit S-3. Proposed Exception with Photo of Existing The application goes on to explain that the arborist has noted there will be no way to tell if roots can be cut to allow the sidewalk to be re -poured in place until the raised section of sidewalk can be removed and the roots assessed. The applicant suggests that the level of sidewalk upheaval indicates the roots will likely be too large to cut, and has requested that they be allowed to remove the raised section of sidewalk PA-TI-2020-00128 104 Bush Street/dds Page 3 to allow the arborist to assess the roots. An Exception has been requested, recognizing it is likely that the sidewalk will need to be meandered to curbside within the root zone to protect the tree while repairing the raised section of sidewalk. In staff s assessment, the presence of a large, healthy established tree on a neighboring property raising the sidewalk and preventing its repair represents a unique or unusual aspect of the site, and the relatively brief shift to curbside will result in a pedestrian facility that will be superior to the existing given that there is currently an eight -inch rise over a short distance and which will improve the comfort level for walkers. Given that the shift to curbside is brief, staff believe it is the minimum necessary to make the needed repair while protecting the tree and is consistent with the purpose and intent of the street standards. For staff, the arborist's assessment is key, and the Exception is provisionally approved here with the conditions that after removal of the raised section of sidewalk, the arborist assess the tree roots and provide a written report to the Staff Advisor making clear that the state of the roots will not accommodate cuts necessary to replace the sidewalk in its current location and that the shift to curbside within the protection zone is necessary for the tree's health longevity. In addition, a condition has been included to require that the arborist assess the impacts of the proposed driveway expansion on the 36-inch diameter Red Cedar tree (Tree 420) on the applicant's property and provide a Tree Preservation and Protection Plan which includes any recommendations necessary for protecting that tree, it's health and longevity during the proposed driveway expansion. The approval criteria for a Conditional Use Permit are described in AMC Chapter 18.5.4.050.A as follows: A Conditional Use Permit shall be granted if the approval authority finds that the application meets all of the following criteria, or can be made to conform through the imposition of conditions. 1. That the use would be in conformance with all standards within the zoning district in which the use is proposed to be located, and in conformance with relevant Comprehensive plan policies that are not implemented by any City, State, or Federal law or program. 2. That adequate capacity of City facilities for water, sewer, electricity, urban storm drainage, paved access to and throughout the development, and adequate transportation can and will be provided to the subject property. 3. That the conditional use will have no greater adverse material effect on the livability of the impact area when compared to the development of the subject lot with the target use of the zone, pursuant with subsection 18.5.4.050.A.5, below. When evaluating the effect of the proposed use on the impact area, the following factors of livability of the impact area shall be considered in relation to the target use of the zone. a. Similarity in scale, bulk, and coverage, b. Generation of traffic and effects on surrounding streets. Increases in pedestrian, bicycle, and mass transit use are considered beneficial regardless of capacity of facilities. C. Architectural compatibility with the impact area. d. Air qualify, including the generation of dust, odors, or other environmental pollutants. e. Generation of noise, light, and glare. f. The development of adjacent properties as envisioned in the Comprehensive Plan. g. Other factors found to be relevant by the approval authority for review of the proposed use. 4. A conditional use permit shall not allow a use that is prohibited or one that is not permitted pursuant to this ordinance. 5. For the purposes of reviewing conditional use permit applications for conformity with the approval criteria of this subsection, the target uses of each zone are as follows.... b. R-1. Residential use complying with all ordinance requirements, developed at the density permitted by chapter I&Z5 Standards for Residential Zones.... PA-T1-2020-00128 104 Bush Streetldds Page 4 The approval criteria for an Exception to the Street Design Standards are described in AMC Chapter 18.4.6.020.B.1 as follows: a. There is demonstrable difficulty in meeting the specific requirements of this chapter due to a unique or unusual aspect of the site or proposed use of the site. b. The exception will result in equal or superior transportation facilities and connectivity considering the following factors where applicable. i. For transit facilities and related improvements, access, wait time, and ride experience. ff. For bicycle facilities, feeling of safety, quality of experience (i, e., comfort level of bicycling along the roadway), and frequency of conflicts with vehicle cross traffic. iii. For pedestrian facilities, feeling of safety, quality of experience (i.e., comfort level of walking along roadway), and ability to safety and efficiency crossing roadway. C. The exception is the minimum necessary to alleviate the difficulty. d. The exception is consistent with the Purpose and Intent of the Street Standards in subsection 18,4.6.040.A. In staff's assessment, the application with the attached conditions complies with applicable ordinances and meets all required criteria. Planning Action #TI-2020-00128 is approved with the following conditions. Further, if any one or more of the following conditions are found to be invalid for any reason whatsoever, then Planning Action #TI-2020-00128 is denied. The following are the conditions and they are attached to the approval: 1) That all proposals of the applicant shall be conditions of approval unless otherwise specifically modified herein. 2) That the plans submitted for the building permit shall be in conformance with those approved as part of this application. If the plans submitted for the building permit are not in substantial conformance with those approved as part of this application, an application to modify the Conditional Use Permit approval would need to be submitted and approved prior to issuance of a building permit. 3) That the building permit submittals shall include color, material, architectural and trim details demonstrating that the addition will match the existing house. 4) The prior to the issuance of a building permit or commencement of any sitework other that removal of the raised section of sidewalk, the project arborist shall assess the roots of Tree #19 which are raising the sidewalk and provide a written report to the Staff Advisor making clear that the state of the roots will not accommodate cuts and excavation necessary to replace the sidewalk in its current location and that the shift to curbside within the tree's protection zone is necessary for the tree's health longevity. (If the tree roots are found to be able to accommodate the cuts necessary to re pour the sidewalk in place, then the requested Exception is denied.) In addition, the project arborist shall assess the impacts of the proposed driveway modifications to Tree 420 on the applicant's property, on the north side of the driveway, and provide a Tree Preservation and Protection Plan which includes any recommendations necessary for protecting that tree, it's health and longevity during the proposed sitework.

Imitations of Historic Features Findings: Proposed remodel will keep the existing decorative details and will not introduce any new details or imitate styles, motifs, or details of historic buildings. 12. Additions Findings: EXCEPTION REQUESTED. While exploring design ideas we tried to work a design to add to the rear of the building so as to avoid an addition to the facade of Bush St. This would have included returning the original garage that was converted into living space back to the garage and then recreate the living space to the rear. However, due to the narrow lot and required set back at the rear of the building, combined with limited access for construction made the project not feasible. Especially since the addition would take the place of an existing patio that has been heavily landscaped and is the only "usable" outdoor area in the back yard due to grade. Thus, the only possible solution was to come out towards Bush st. s?sa" C. Rehabilitation Standards for Existing Buildings and Additions 2. Rehabilitation Standards. a.

Exception to Street Standards 18.4.6.020 B.1. Summary of the request by owners to alter sidewalk: Regarding the possible relocation of the sidewalk at 104 Bush st., below is a drawing showing the conceptual request for bringing the sidewalk "out of path." Condition: Sidewalk is raised at least 8 inches at current sidewalk. Location of the tree is such that "ramping" over the root structure would make an impossible approach at the driveway as it would be too steep, and we don't have enough grade to make the transitional gradual. Steps taken so far: 1. On site meeting with clients who are vested in keeping the tree alive and looking for resolution to keep the sidewalk safe. 2. On site meeting with arborist Chris John of Canopy LLC. Chris reported the tree is in good health but will need relief from concrete to ensure its longevity. He stated that there will be no way to tell if we can cut roots at the sidewalk location until we remove the sidewalk and dig up. But, its likely the level of upheaval suggests the roots will be too large to cut. Recommendation was to remove the sidewalk and assess with a greater possibility than not that the sidewalk would need to be relocated. 3. Met with clients again who did not feel good about demo until we have solid permission from the city to relocate as the job affects the neighbors to the south as well. 4. Met onsite with Carl Johnson from public works. Many ideas kicked around but relocating sidewalks seems the only viable solution to keep the tree. Carl reported that he was ok with it if the planning department was. 5. Spoke on the phone with Aaron from the planning department who did some leg work and reported that I would need to provide additional information: Site map, narrative, ideally written report from the arborist, and a request. A. Applicability. Chapter 18.4.E applies to all new development, including projects subject to Land Division (Subdivision or Partition) approval and developments subject to Site Design Review, where public facility improvements are required. All public facility improvements within the City shall occur in accordance with the standards and procedures of this chapter. B. Exceptions and Variances. Requests to depart from the requirements of this chapter are subject to chapter 18.5.5 Variances, except that deviations from section F18.-4.6.-04d Street Design Standards are subject to 18.4.6.020.13.1 Exceptions to the Street Design Standards, below. 1. Exception to the Street Design Standards. The approval authority may approve exceptions to the standards section. in 1$.4.6.040 Street Design Standards if all of the following circumstances are found to exist. a. There is demonstrable difficulty in meeting the specific requirements of this chapter due to a unique or unusual aspect of the site or proposed use of the site. Findings: Given the downhill slope and the raised sidewalk from the tree roots, there is no way to meet the specific requirements of this chapter unless and arborist can see the roots in the pathway at time of demolition. Carl Johnson from Public works has reviewed and agrees, b. The exception will result in equal or superior transportation facilities and connectivity considering the following factors where applicable. i. For transit facilities and related improvements, access, wait time, and ride experience. Findings: Not applicable ii. For bicycle facilities, feeling of safety, quality of experience (i.e., comfort level of bicycling along the roadway), and frequency of conflicts with vehicle cross traffic. Findings: Bicycle riding is currently not safe unless the tree is cut down and grade of sidewalk is evened out or if the planning department grants the "out of path" sidewalk. iii. For pedestrian facilities, feeling of safety, quality of experience (i.e., comfort level of walking along roadway), and ability to safety and efficiency crossing roadway. is Findings: Pedestrian walking is currently not safe unless the tree is cut down and grade of sidewalk is evened out or if the planning department grants the "out of path" sidewalk. c. The exception is the minimum necessary to alleviate the difficulty. Findings: If the exception were granted the difficulty of creating a safe sidewalk would be alleviated. d. The exception is consistent with the Purpose and Intent of the Street Standards in subsection 18.4.6.040. . Findings: As noted in 18.4.6.040 A: "Sidewalks are shaded by trees for pedestrian comfort." 18.4.6.040 A also notes: -All streets have park rows and sidewalks on both sides In certain situations where the h sical Leatures o the land create severe constraints or natural features should be preserved, exceptions may be made. Exceptions could result in construction of meanderinz sidewalks, sidewalks on only one side of the street, or curbside sidewalk segments instead of setback walks. Exceptions should be allowed when physical conditions exist that preclude development of a public street, or components of the street. Such conditions may include, but are not limited to, topography, wetlands, mature trees, creeks, drainages, rock outcroppings, and limited right-of-way when improving streets through a local improvement district (LID). As the request is within the intent of what is being asked for I believe we should he granted permission to explore the situation. New Request is for the city to grant the permit for repair of the sidewalk. With a permit in place we can remove the sidewalk and dig up the roots. At the point at which the roots can be seen, arborist, Chris John of Canopy LLC, can write a summary report detailing if the sidewalk can stay on path without harming the tree or if the sidewalk must be relocated to meet the intent of 18.4.6.040. The owners do not feel comfortable leaving the sidewalk as is because of the public safety hazard. However, they do not feel comfortable repairing the sidewalk if the "out of path" exception would not be granted leaving the only solution for safety is cutting the tree down. Essentially, the owners are requesting that if the permit is issued and the arborist report comes back stating the sidewalk must meander, the owners need assurance from the city that they request be granted.

G:lconun-devlplanningTonns & }iandoutslZoning Permit Applica9on.doc 104 Bush finding of facts We propose a seventy square foot single story garage addition attached to the existing house. This will require a CUP to exceed MPFA in the historic district. The MPFA is 1935 square feet. The existing house is 2349 square feet, exceeding MPFA by twenty-one percent. The garage addition would increase the excess to twenty-five percent. At first glance the house appears to have a double car garage; the previous owners had converted the garage into living space, leaving the garage doors visible on the exterior, but walling them off on the inside. The new owners would like to have a garage but would prefer not to lose all the living space that the former garage provides. The space is used as a family room currently. The new garage addition is for one car and provides a small area for storage and workspace. We propose to re -purpose 177 square feet of the current family room as a part of the garage and storage area. The use of this existing space helps us to meet the setback requirements and keeps the scale and bulk of the addition to a minimum.
