2/4/22,10:21 AM WestRock Construction Mail-Fw:Draft permit tracking#20-66051 Chris&Terrie Rae Anderson(Home Owners)-Everett,WA contractor's actions has possibly damaged our relationship with BNSF. For that I am sorry. I should note that Garin Schenk's email of Aug 5th did specify that the line was in place and requested direction on how to proceed: "We were able to get the Temporary Occupancy Permit(from the City of Everett) by providing a tightline from a catch basin at the top of the bluff to the base, as shown on the site plan. That line is currently in place. Given this information, please provide an instruction on how to best proceed." I am sorry I was not able to give this my full attention during our son's illness.When I received the documents outlining the BNSF requirements I honestly did not know how to proceed other than to try to do my best to meet those requirements which I could. Given all that, I need to ask what you would like us to do at this point? Do you want us to have WestRock pull the line back off the BNSF ROW?This can be done without entering BNSF property. I should point out that this will increase the possibility of slope erosion, increasing risk not only to our home but also to your tracks. Is there any way we can proceed from here to the satisfaction of BNSF that will allow us to obtain permanent occupancy for our home? On a related question, are the Homeowner's,Auto and Umbrella policies I sent acceptable? Thank you for your consideration.
