CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:
1) The proponent shall comply with the requirements of the Grant County Planning
Department, including but not limited to:
a) Prior to approval of the Building Permit on this parcel the applicant shall provide
evidence of a recorded and proven access from a public roadway to the subject
parcel.
3) The proponent shall comply with the requirements of the Grant County Public Works
Department, including but not limited to:
a) An Approach Permit shall be obtained prior to the issuance of a building permit.
FINDINGS OF FACT:
1. The application of UDC chapter 23.04 Zoning Districts would deny all economically
viable or beneficial uses of the property, absent a demonstration by the county that the
proposed use(s) are prohibited by the laws of nuisance or other pre-existing limits on the
property which prohibit such use(s).
2. There are not other reasonable uses to which the property can be put.
3. The proposed use or development does not pose an unreasonable threat to the harm
sought to be avoided by the application of this Chapter or the public health, safety or
welfare on or off the site for which the reasonable use exception is sought.
4. The inability of the applicant to derive reasonable use of the property is not the result of
actions by the applicant in subdividing the property or adjusting a boundary line thereby
creating the un-developable condition after the effective date of this chapter.
5. The use exception being sought is the minimum necessary to allow for reasonable uses of
the property.
6. Such use exception being sought is consistent with the general purposes of this chapter
and other chap�ers of the GCC and the public interest.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of County Commissioners
for Grant County, Washington approve by this Resolution and subject to conditions, a
Reasonable Use Exception granted to Joseph & Joan Van Steenkist to allow the residential
development of a 3.75 acre parcel, #16-0881-000, in the Rural Residential - 1 Zona located in a
