It is further recommended that if it is determined that his past actions are not sufficient to reject the bid, that the City take extraordinary precautions. For example, the Performance Bond and Payment Bond provisions of the Street Imprcvement Contract should be CASH BONDSI Ben Holt is the builder, owner and operator of People's Storage located at 7909 South Broadway (the large yellow warehouses just north of the Everett Mall Way, I-5 off ramp). This site is being operated without an occupancy permit. The occupancy permit has been withheld because the site is not in compliance with Ordinance 555 and until recently, tt,e structure was without adequate fire protection as required by the Fire Code. It has been ,i two and a half year struggle to gain from Ben Holt, what every other developer in Everett performs as a routine matter. Numerous hours were spent in 1979 reaching a verbal agreement by Mr. Holt in November to provide the necessary fire protection and an L.I.D. Covenant. Currently, even after hours of additional meetings, letters and explanations, Mr. Holt still has not fulfilled his verbal agreement to comply with City Ordinances and Washington State SEPA regulations. It does not appear to be in the best interest of the City or the participants in the Everett Mall Way L.I.D., to award the contract 1:0 Ben Holt. There may be some special interest on Ben Holt's part that could result in a lesser prpduct, or inappropriate feelings toward; property owners on Everett Mall Way that elect..to comply with City Oreinam es . And, finally, it seems unfair to flaunt negative_ behavior in the face of property owners along Everett Mall that chose to be responsible developers in Everett. CHRONOLOGY OF 7909 50.
