It was not clear in our initial review in 1986 of this conversion of a parking garage to an office whether the existing driveway curb cut was to be utilized. There was no mention of discontinued u_,e on the plans that were submitted to our department. It is not unconceivable that it was the owner's intention to utilize this area as a load -unload area for clients and supplies. Therefore, a requirement to remove this curb -cut was not included in the permit process. Likewise, it is possihle that the parking enforcement pers n could not tell if this driveway is utilized for load -unload, etc. Therefore, if the property owner Joes not wish to use this driveway then he is required by the Everett Municipal Code, as sighted above, to apply for a Public Works Permit and remove the driveway at his expense. If you have any questions regarding how to apply for the necessary permits, please contact our office at 259-8800. Sincerely, ALFRED R. THEAL, P.E.
