�� . , � � � � October 24, 1986 � � � � � d � D � ocT �: �es M,►YOR'f � Honorable William Moor• tv�nMR �MA li201 Mayor City of E�erett City Hall , 3802 Wetmore Everrtt, WA 98201 D�ar Mayor Moore , I am writing this p�rsonal letter to you in order to accomplish two thin9si first to •xpress my personal feelings about the sub- Ject matter of the attach�d correspondence and secondly for this l �tt�r to act as one of the siqnatars to the attachcd correspond- •nc�. Th• subJect is th• n�w construction at 3415 8�11 A�enue and the � cod�s that are applicabl • to th• constructfan . Befare my wff• and I purchas�d our new hama at :'.3420 8�11 Ave. , ad�aining 3413 B►il Av�. un th• sauth , w� realized that some day a han• would b� con- atructed on th• th�n vacan! lot. We ch�cked throuqh th• real •s- tat• canpany and made t�i�phone ca11s and p�rsanal checks with the appropriat� city offices to asc�rtain ! f any buildfng plans had b��n submitted for that prap�rty, othrrwise knaun as Lots 28 and 29 of Block 2 of Rucker Park Addition. We w�r• aduised by all that 'no plans had b�en submitt�d and that a building permit had not b��n issued. N��erth�la:s, we kneu� thxt it would happen ultimat�ly and exp�ctad, erroneously as it turned out, that any construction wouid be in accord with th• general nature of the n�ighborhood. Further , as this is a uiew sensiti �e ar•ea, we �xp�cted that the builder would b� considnrat• of his nei9hbor's •xisting � lew. As noted In the attached hi �tory of the construction , it has not turned out this way. W� feel that the C( ty Zoning Code has b�en violated both as to intent, and spocifically. Whila it is rralized that a builder has co� '.aln le�ways, when • pr�s�ntatfon with specific drawingi is ma�� to a city body and the actual location of the building �arles greatly from that prasentation, we 4�e1 that a first v ( alatfon has occurred. Also, when a buiiding plan fs appraved for a � iew sensftive arta, ft �houid be subJect to close scruti�y and later follow-up to insure that it doas not unduly affect the npfghbors existing � fews. Further , that the style of the buliding ahould fit into, the general architecture of tne n� ighborhood. Laatly, the zoning code should be adhered to In a specific manner without altowing manipulation throuqh one m�ans or anothar . Examination of the photographs and drawings in the accompanying history will not create a fiattering impresslon of the execution of the zonfng code .
