Hearing planned on big garages
Large garages built in unincorporated Snohomish County face stricter regulations under a proposal before the Snohomish County Council.
A public hearing and possible approval of the rules is planned for 10:30 a.m. Wednesday at the County Council chambers, 3000 Rockefeller Ave., Everett.
The proposed restrictions were prompted by neighborhood complaints about a 10,000-square-foot garage built north of Lake Stevens. Builders plan to sell off each of the 20 bays for boats or RVs.
Future structures could face more scrutiny by county officials and be subject to design standards.
