Case #11: Request for Interim Use Permit to Maintain Two Dwellings on One Parcel; Case of Scott and Carri Edgerton Community Development Director Frolik advised that the City Code states there shall not be more than one main building on a lot unless otherwise provided for in City Code. Mr. and Mrs. Edgerton have purchased the property at 7031 173''d Avenue N.W. The home on the property was constructed in the very early 1900's and the Edgertons are proposing to demolish the home and construct a new home on the property. They would like to live in the existing home while the new one is being constructed. In accordance with City Code, the City should not issue a building permit for a home on a property that already has a dwelling. The Edgertons were advised to apply for an Interim Use Permit that would enable City Staff to issue a building permit for a second home on the property. The Planning Commission met on September 15, conducted a public hearing and recommended Council approval of the permit. City Staff and the Planning Commission are recommending reducing the 10 day waiting period to 8 days and approving the Interim Use Permit, which has been included in the Interim Use Permit. Carri Edgerton, 7031 173rd Avenue, stated the house was built in 1927 and is livable but old so they would like to build a new home. Community Development Director Frolik reviewed the timeline, advising that the approval requires that the new home be constructed within 6 months, that the applicants take occupancy of the new h. ome within 30 days of issuance of certificate of occupancy, and the existing home be demolished and removed within 60 days of the issuance of certificate of occupancy for the new home. In the event the weather conditions are not conducive to backfilling the previous house foundation and septic system, the Building Official will have the authority to grant a maximum 60 day extension. Any extensions required beyond that time frame must be approved by the City Council. Counci Imember Elvig asked Ms. Edgerton if she is comfortable with that timeframe. Ms. Edgerton stated she is and advised that they have already contracted to take care of the building demolition and septic system. Motion by Councihnember Elvig, seconded by Councilmember Cook, to adopt Resolution #03- 09-261 Adopting Findings of Fact #0650 Relating to a Request from Scott and Carri Edgerton for an Interim Use Permit to Maintain Two Dwellings on One Parcel for a Temporary Period of Time and to adopt Resolution #03-09-262 Approving the Issuance of an Interim Use Permit to Scott and Card Edgerton, based on Findings of Fact #0650, and Declaring Terms of Permit to Maintain Two Main Buildings at 7031 173I'd Avenue NW for a Temporary Period of Time. Counci hnember Zimmerman asked if the Building Inspector checks for asbestos. Ms. Edgerton stated they had that checked as well as a lead inspection. There was no asbestos and Icad was below acceptable levels. She stated that the furnace regulator has mercury and the contractor who will demolish the home will address that issue.
