1532 Grand Avenue Everett, WA 98201 March 17, 1986 ,iqiNnou0 Mr. Larry Crawford MAR 28 198 Public Services Manager __..__......_._._--- City of Everett 3200 Cedar Street C . OF EVERETT Everett, WA 98201 pct:ic Yorks Deo4 Dear Mr. Crawford: We are interested in putting a fence on a portion of the 16th Street public right-of-way abutting our property. The right-of-way borders Grand Avenue Park and we have been experiencing minor, but continual, problems since we moved into the house last summer. Please note on the enclosed drawing that the right-of-way is the only access to our garage, built sixty years ago. Earlier this month, as we discussed on the phone. a motorbike rider mistook the driveway for a roaJ and only missed going off the bluff by several feet. The circumstances were unusual (he was being pursued by the police) but his misjudgement could have cost him his life. A gate across the driveway would distinguish it from the roadway. A fence between the two properties would separate us from the patrons of the park who ride their bikes, throw papers, take pictures and walk their dogs in our back yard. Defining the yard will hopefully reduce the uncontrollable mob, extensive verbal abuse, trespassing and small fires we experienced last Fourth of July. In assessing the fee, please consider that the fence, at our cost, will be mutually beneficial: to the city by defining the driveway which caused an unsafe situation, to the park by solving our complaint against the trespassers, and to us by providing us with privacy and a better-defined driveway. Your help and understanding will be appreciated. If you need further information, you can call Gail during the day at 442-3433. Our home phone is 258-3191.
