FINDINGS OF FACT 1. Legal: Lot 83,Wilson's Addition. 2. General Location: 10104 Willow Way, Pasco,WA 99301 (Parcel 118202025). 3. Property Size: .46 acres (19,824.17 square feet) 4. ACCESS: The property has access from Willow Way. 5. UTILITIES: Municipal water and sewer service are available from Willow Way. 6. LAND USE AND ZONING: The property is currently zoned RS-12 (Suburban) and is developed with a Single-Family Dwelling Unit (SFDU) and two outbuildings. Surrounding properties are zoned and developed as follows: Northeast RS-20 SFDUs Southeast RS-12 SFDUs Southwest RS-12 SFDUs Northwest RS-12 SFDUs 7. REQUEST: Applicant Tim Kasnick is requesting a variance from Pasco Municipal Code (PMC) 25.35.030 which allows detached residential garages as defined in PMC 25.15.090, provided they do not exceed 18 feet in height and 1,200 square feet in area. A greater height may be approved by special permit based upon the review criteria listed in PMC 25.200.080 and 25.200.090. Also, per PMC 25.165.030(3), in no case shall a detached garage be higher than the principal building. 8. HISTORY: On August 2nd, 2022 Applicant Tom Kasnick applied for a building permit (B22-2149)to construct a 23'5"tall detached shop/garage in the southwest corner of their property,between 11'6"and approximately 17' from the south property line, and 5' from the west property line, being approximately 112' from the front(Willow Way)property line. SP 2023-004 Kasnick Garage Page 1 of 6 9. On August 19, 2022 the building permit application was placed on hold via letter to Applicant stating"The average height of the structure cannot exceed 18'.This is measured from the midpoint of the slope of the roof." 10. Per PMC 25.35.030, detached residential garages as defined in PMC 25.15.090 are allowed, provided they do not exceed 18 feet in height and 1,200 square feet in area. A greater height may be approved by special permit based upon the review criteria listed in PMC 25.200.080 and 25.200.090. 11. Per PMC 25.15.040 B definitions: "Building height" means the vertical distance from grade plane to the average height of the highest roof surface. Said grade plane represents the average finished ground level adjoining the building exterior walls. Where the finished ground slopes away from the exterior walls, the reference plane shall be established by the lowest points within the area between the building and the lot line or, where the lot line is more than six feet from the building, between the building and a point six feet from the building. 12. Thus,the code-defined height of the proposed detached shop/garage as measured by vertical distance from grade plane to the average height of the highest roof surface would be 20'9,"or 2' 9"taller than code allows. 13. Also, per PMC 25.165.030(3), in no case shall a detached garage . . .be higher than the principal building. 14. On August 22, 2022 Applicant applied for a building Permit(B22-2324)for a 237"tall garage addition to their home which would increase the house height and thus accommodate the"no . . . higher than the principal building"limitation in PMC 25.165.030(3). 15. Both building permits (1322-2149 and B22-2324)have expired,pending resolution of the shop height special permit application. 16. Applicant applied for a Special Permit on February 22,2023 (see "Exhibit C");the application was received on February 24,2023. 17. Applicant has offered the following explanations for his request: 17.1 "We want to remodel our existing home to add a model train room, a sewing/craft room, a den/office&sunroom, and to remodel the kitchen; (this scope is covered by Bldg. permit B22-2324,which is already approved)." 17.2 In addition,we want to build a detached garage with lots of room. The footprint of the detached garage will be 24'x 36' (864 square feet), with two floors. 17.3 First floor will have a 9'ceiling with 8'garage door for access by a tall pickup, storage of canopy, wood working, auto maintenance, storage and maintenance of lawn and garden equipment, ladder storage, and other future projects, 17.4 Second floor will have an 8'ceiling for general storage of household items, Christmas decorations and lighting, canning jars,and all the stuff currently in our existing garage. 17.5 The design drawings accommodate these two floors,the trusses necessary to support the second floor,and the 5: 12 roof slope;the result is that the height is 20'-9";this is illustrated below: SP 2023-004 Kasnick Garage Page 2 of 6 17.6 Section 25.35.030 permits detached residential garages in R-S-12 Suburban Districts provided they do not exceed 18'in height [refer to Pasco Building Division letter from Troy Hendren,dated Aug. 19, 2022],but goes on to allow that a greater height may be approved by special permit based upon the review criteria in PMC 25.200.080 and 25.200.090. 17.7 This is the variance/special permit I request for building of my detached garage. (Please note that the design of our detached garage is compliant with PMC 25.165.030,i.e. it is not higher than the principal building.) 18. As per Pasco Municipal Code (PMC) 25.200.080, upon conclusion of the open record hearing,the Hearing Examiner shall make and enter findings from the record and conclusions thereof as to whether or not: 18.1 The proposal is in accordance with the goals, policies, objectives, maps and/or narrative text of the Comprehensive Plan; 18.1.1 Comprehensive Plan Housing Goal H-3 requires the City to "encourage housing design and construction that ensures long term sustainability and value. This goal is supported by Housing Policy H-3-B: "Maintain development regulations and standards that control the scale and density of residential housing to ensure compatibility with surrounding uses." The City development regulations and standards allow for taller shop/garage structures via the special permit process. 18.2 The proposal will adversely affect public infrastructure; 18.2.1 Public sewer and water services available along Willow Way have been designed to support residential uses. Detached shops and Garages are typical of residential development throughout the City. Permitting an increase in garage height by 2' 9'will have no impact on public infrastructure. 18.3 The proposal will be constructed, maintained and operated to be in harmony with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity; 18.3.1 The neighborhood is suburban in nature, intended for somewhat larger, single- and two-story homes on expansive lots; mature hardwood trees also populate the area, largely obscuring houses and outbuildings from neighboring lots. Large shops/garages for RV storage are fairly typical for the area. The proposed garage would be required to use exterior finishes and roofing to match the details on the applicant's home. These design standards will cause the garage to be built in harmony with the existing character of the neighborhood. 18.4 The location and height of proposed structures and the site design will discourage the development of permitted uses on property in the general vicinity or impair the value thereof; 18.4.1 The neighborhood was established in the mid-90s and is mostly built out. As such, any building activity that might have been discouraged by such a structure in times past has already taken place. Applicant has fizrnished no evidence that other taller-than-code detached shop/garages have been permitted by the City in or around the vicinity of this property. The RS-12 zone allows homes to be constructed up to thirty five (35) feet tall measured at the roof mid-point. The 35-foot height limit to the mid-point of the roof SP 2023-004 Kasnick Garage Page 3 of 6 could very well result in a home which is forty (40) feet tall measured at the peak. There are a number of detached shops or garages in the neighborhood. The shop would be located in the southwest corner of their property, between 11'6" and approximately 17' from the south property line, and 5' from the west property line; the setback from the front (Willow Way) property line would be approximately 112.' The height of the proposed detached shop/garage as measured by vertical distance from grade plane to the average height of the highest roof surface would be 20'9," or 2' 9" taller than code allows. 18.5 The operations in connection with the proposal will be more objectionable to nearby properties by reason of noise, filmes, vibrations, dust,traffic, or flashing lights than would be the operation of any permitted uses within the district; and 18.5.1 It is unlikely that there will be any difference in terms of use between a garage that is 18 feet tall verses a 20'9"tall garage. The Hearing Examiner sees no reason why structure height would increase the potential for objectionable effects such as noise, fumes, vibrations, dust, traffic or flashing lights. The use of the site will remain low-density single-family residential. 18.6 The proposal will endanger the public health or safety if located and developed where proposed, or in any way will become a nuisance to uses permitted in the district. [Ord. 4433 § 9, 2019; Ord. 3354 § 2, 1999; Code 1970 § 25.86.060]. 18.6.1 Requirements of the International Building Code will ensure the garage will be built to conform to all public health or safety standards. The building code standards coupled with setback requirements will ensure the garage will not be a nuisance to the neighborhood. 19. As per PMC 25.200.090, [i]n addition to making and entering conclusions from the record for special permits based on the criteria in PMC 25.200.080 the Hearing Examiner shall consider the following for special permits dealing with increased heights and/or floor area for detached shops and garages: 19.1 Will the shop/garage match the principal structure in design and exterior treatments such as roofing materials, siding, color, window and door openings, eave overhangs, fenestrations and other architectural features, 19.1.1 Residential detached shops and garages are required to be compatible and consistent with the house on the lot. That means either the garage needs to have similar siding and roofing materials matching the home or in the case of pole buildings eave overhangs are required along with colors that are similar to the house. As a condition of approval the Hearing Examiner has the authority to approve additional architectural features to help offset the additional height. 19.2 Will the existing topography and elevation of the site and surrounding property exacerbate or attenuate the height of the proposed shop/garage; 19.2.1 The site is relatively flat and more or less level with the grade of Willow Way. There are no features on the site that would tend to exacerbate the proposed height of the garage. 19.3 Will the proposal include landscaping features or berms to ameliorate the height and/or floor area of the shop/garage; SP 2023-004 Kasnick Garage Page 4 of 6 19.3.1 There are no landscaping features indicated on the proposed site plan however, the existing trees on the lot will screen the proposed garage somewhat from adjoining lots. 19.4 Will the shop/garage be erected on the property utilizing minimum setbacks; 19.4.1 Based on the site plan the garage placement will meet or exceed all minimum setbacks for the RS-12 zone. The garage will set back approximately 112' feet from Willow Way, 11'6" to 17' feet from the south property line, approximately 130 ` from the east property line and 5 feet from the west property line. 19.5 Is the site larger than the minimum lot size requirement for the zoning district. 19.5.1 The RS-12 zone requires parcels be a minimum of 12,000 square feet. The site is 20,000 square feet; nearly twice the minimum area. 20. Public notice of this hearing was sent to property owners within 300 feet of the property and the Tri-City Herald on March 17, 2023. 21. An open record public hearing after due legal notice was held April 12, 2023, with the staff and the public appearing in person, and the Hearing Examiner appearing via Zoom videoconference. 22. Appearing and testifying at the hearing was Tim Kasnick. Mr. Kasnick testified that he was the Applicant and property owner. Mr. Kasnick testified that he was in agreement with all the proposed conditions of approval and representations set forth in the staff report. He also testified that the correct address for the property is 10104 Willow Way. He agreed that the new garage would not contain any living space such as a bedroom or kitchen. He stated that there would be a bathroom on the main floor for his convenience while working in the shop. He stated that the property would not be used as an accessory dwelling unit. 23. No members of the public testified at the hearing. 24. The staff report, application materials, agency comments and the entire file of record were admitted into the record. 25.

The two sets of balloons were filled with Helium and each set was connected to a string and a brick. The two sets of balloons were configured as follows: • One set of balloons was measured from the top of the uppermost balloon down a string and marked at 18', and secured to a brick • The other set of balloons was measured from the top of the uppermost balloon down a string and marked at 20'-9", and secured to a brick The bricks were the moved around the area where the detached garage foundation is planned, and photos were taken, some from the sidewalk in front of the house and some from the street.
