APPLICATION SUMMARY FILE NAME: WHISTLER'S WALK FRONT YARD SETBACK ADJUSTMENT #28 CASE NO: Adjustment (VAR) VAR2003-00083 PROPOSAL: The applicant has requested approval for an Adjustment to the front yard setback to reduce the setback from 20 feet to 15 feet to accommodate construction on lot 9 of Whistler's Walk Subdivision. APPLICANT/ OWNER: Venture Properties Attn: Jim Delmore 4230 SW Galewood, Suite 100 Lake Oswego, OR 97035 LOCATION: 13745 SW 124th Avenue; WCTM 2S103CC, Tax Lot 06200. ZONING AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION: R-4.5: The R-4.5 zoning district is designed to accommodate detached single-family homes with or without accessory residential units at a minimum lot size of 7,500 square feet. Duplexes and attached single-family units are permitted, conditionally. Some civic and institutional uses are also permitted conditionally. APPLICABLE REVIEW CRITERIA: Community Development Code Chapters 18.370, 18.390 and 18.510. SECTION II. DECISION n Notice is hereby given that the City of Tigard Community Development Director's designee has APPROVED the above request subject to certain conditions of approval. The findings and conclusions on which the decision is based are noted in Section IV. NOTICE OF TYPE I DECISION VAR2003-00083- WHISTLERS FRONT YARD SETBACK ADJUSTMENT #28 PAGE 1 OF 3 CONDITION OF APPROVAL 1. The front yard setback can only be reduced 18.5 percent for a setback of 16 feet 3 inches. THIS APPROVAL SHALL BE VALID FOR 18 MONTHS FROM THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS DECISION. SECTION III. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Site History: The subject site is lot 9 of the Whistler's Walk Subdivision. No other land-use cases are associated with this parcel. Site Information and Proposal Description: The applicant has requested an adjustment to the front yard setback to reduce the setback from 20 feet to 15 feet to accommodate construction. SECTION IV. APPLICABLE REVIEW CRITERIA AND FINDINGS DEVELOPMENT ADJUSTMENTS: Section 18.370.020.B.1.a provides that up to a 25% reduction of the dimensional standards for the front yard setbacks required in the base zone may be approved as a Type I Development Adjustment. Section 18.370.020.B.2, Approval Criteria, provides that a development adjustment shall be granted if there is a demonstration of compliance with all of the applicable standards: A demonstration that the adjustment requested, is the least required to achieve the desired effect; According to the applicant, the earnest money agreement regarding the sale of the home was entered into by the applicant and homebuyer on the presumption that the front yard setback to the house was the same 15 feet as in other subdivisions. Pushing the home back in order to meet the required 20-foot setback will decrease the size of the backyards and may cause homebuyers not to proceed with the purchase of the home. The only portion of the proposed home that will extend into the required 20-foot setback will be the front porch. The applicant has asked for the entire 25 percent reduction. However, the site plan shows the front yard setback reduced to 16 feet 3 inches, which is the least required to achieve the, desired effect. Therefore, instead of granting a 25 percent reduction, the front yard setback may be reduced 18.5 percent to 16 feet 3 inches. The habitable portion of the main residence will meet the underlying setback requirement of 20 feet. Allowing the reduction for the front porch to be closer to the front lot line achieves pedestrian friendly development, which is an important aspect of neighborhood livability. NOTICE OF TYPE I DECISION VAR2003-00083- WHISTLERS FRONT YARD SETBACK ADJUSTMENT #28 PAGE 2 OF 3 The adjustment will result in the preservation of trees, if trees are present in the development area; No trees are associated with this request. Therefore, this criterion does not apply. The adjustment will not impede adequate emergency access to the site. The request is for a front yard setback adjustment. Access to the home will remain unchanged. Therefore, emergency access to the site will not be impeded. There is not a reasonable alternative to the adjustment, which achieves the desired effect. An alternative to granting the adjustment to the front yard setback would be constructing the home further back on the lot. However, the combination of preserving trees and the signing of earnest money agreements by future home owners, the adjustment is the most reasonable solution. Without the adjustment, the applicant may have to void the earnest money agreements which may cause the loss of current sales. Therefore, this standard has been satisfied. FINDING: Based on the analysis above, Staff finds that the development adjustment criteria are not satisfied. CONDITION:The front yard setback can only be reduced 18.5 percent for a setback of 16 feet 3 inches. SECTION V. PROCEDURE AND APPEAL INFORMATION A front yard setback Adjustment is a Type I procedure. As such, the Director's decision is final on the date it is mailed or otherwise provided to the applicant, whichever occurs first. The Director's decision may not be appealed locally and is the final decision of the City. THIS DECISION IS FINAL ON AUGUST 22, 2003, AND BECOMES EFFECTIVE ON AUGUST 23, 2003. Questions: If you have any questions, please call the City of Tigard Planning Division, Tigard City Hall, 13125 SW Hall Boulevard, Tigard, Oregon at (503) 639-4171.

Development adjustments 1. Sub point a. the Front yard setbacks can be reduced up to 25%. 2. The Approval criteria shall be granted if there is a demonstration of compliance with all of the applicable standards: a. A demonstration that the adjustment requested is the least required to achieve the desired effect. Comments: The Earnest Money Agreement was entered into by the Applicant and Homebuyer on the presumption that the Front Yard Setback to the house was the same 15 feet as in our other subdivisions in Tigard. Pushing these homes back will decrease the size of the backyards and may cause homebuyers not to proceed with the purchase of the home. We are only looking for an adjustment on the lots that we have sold the homes with the presumption of a 15' setback, and on two lots that are not deep enough for our standard home to fit b. The adjustment will result in the preservation of trees, if trees are present in the development area: Comments: No trees are affected by the request. c. The adjustment will not impede adequate emergency access to the site. Comments: This can only help the access to the site by allowing the home to be 5' closer to the street. d. There is not a reasonable alternative to the adjustment which achieves the desired effect. Comments: Applicant met with staff, who consulted with the Director of Planning and it was agreed that the Type 1 Adjustment was the best course of action. Without approval of the Adjustment, we may have to void the Earnest Money Agreement which will certainly cause the loss of a number of current home sales. 4230 Galewood St. Suite 100 Don Modssette Homes Lake Oswego, Oregon 97035 May 9, 2003 Regarding Property located at: Whistler's Walk / Lot # 9 13745 SW 124' Avenue Tigard, Oregon 97223 To whom it may concern, At the signing (purchase) of the earnest money the set back for the Whistler's Walk subdivision were assumed to be 15 feet to the house, 20 feet to the garage.
