Resolution PZ 95-4: Amending KMC 14.20.320 Definitions (tabled from last meeting) MOTION AND VOTE: PHIL BRYSON MOVED TO BRING RESOLUTION PZ 95-4 FROM THE TABLE. RON GOECKE SECONDED. Chairman Walker noted this was anon-debatable motion and called for the question. VOTE: Bryson Goecke Toppa Werner-Quade Mahurin Glick Walker YES YES YES YES YES YES YES MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. Chairman Walker introduced the item and asked for a staff report. Bob Springer, Building Official, reported this was just an item to clear up confusion that had caused problems in the past. The problem occurs when new construction is built in an area where there might be a street in the future. If the road is developed the home would then be in anon-conforming situation. Phil Bryson asked if it would be appropriate to clarify that this was a substitute resolution for the original, which was tabled. Chairman Walker felt it would be. Planning and Zoning Commission February 8, 1995 Page 2 ~ MOTION: PHIL BRYSON MOVED TO APPROVE SUBSTITUTE 95-4 SUBSTITUTE. KAREN MAHURIN SECONDED. DISCUSSION: Teresa Werner-Quade noted the new definition which read "two platted right-of ways, two government easements, or any combination thereof." She said she had a problem with the government easement portion as some of the government easements are very old and will probably never be needed or developed. She did not feel it was fair the owner should forfeit an additional 10 feet of property due to a government easement, in addition to the 50 feet that is already in place. She felt this was excessive for something that may never exist. She asked if alleys fell under this ordinance. Bob Springer said no. Teresa Werner-Quade asked if structures which are already built would need to get encroachment permits. Bob Springer felt that would not be required. Werner-Quade asked if it would be from the adoption of this ordinance forward. Bob Springer said yes. Phil Bryson felt it was immaterial whether or not the easement is utilized at the time of construction. The purpose of the easements is to provide access and frontage to lots that may or may not be developed. Therefore Bryson felt the resolution was appropriate. Chairman Walker felt that in place construction would require an encroachment if the owner of the home goes to sell the property. These ordinances are just a clarification, in Walker's opinion it does not change the fact of an encroachment. Bob Springer clarified that he had spoken with the Attorney about the resolutions, so in the future when people go to build they will know, from the new definition, that they are building on a corner lot.

ST a p p Planning and Zoning Commission February 8, 1995 Page 4 ~ Bob Springer explained that during the construction of this house an encroachment was created. By replatting the lot the encroachment can be eliminated. DISCUSSION: Ron Goecke expressed concern that the builder has been in the area long enough to know what the setbacks are, and therefore this encroachment should not have occurred. Goecke hoped the Building Official would crack down on these types of situations. Bob Springer said in the process of pouring footings on some houses there is a tremendous amount of overburden which is piled along the property lines, which make it difficult to determine where the property line is in relation to the footings. Sometimes the surveyors stakes get removed and so the builder must wait until the overburden is cleared to determine where the footings are in reference to the property line. Karen Mahurin asked if the replat would work in this situation because the builder owns both lots. Bob said yes. Mahurin noted this could be a severe problem if this were not the case.
