WASHINGTON 98203 <br />© (� 'CITY , <br />'"r77i <br />May 8, 1978 <br />City of Everett Engineering Department <br />City of Everett City Hall <br />3002 Wetmore <br />Everett, Washington 98201 <br />Attention Mr. Lloyd Henning - City Engineer <br />Subject: Fire Hydrant Ordinance No. 493-78 <br />Dear Lloyd; <br />I am writing this letter in accordance with the provisions in ordinance <br />No. 493-78 that states: <br />" ANY PERSON WHO OWNS OR IS IN POSSESSION OF ANY PROPERTY MAY <br />MAKE A REQUEST TO THE CITY ENGINEER FOR A VARIANCE FROM <br />SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS PROVIDED FOR HEREIN UNDUE HARDSHIP OR <br />UNREASONABLE APPLICATION OF THIS CHAPTER ...............

The buildings themselves <br />could he easily served by a standard 2" water service. The buildings will be <br />sold separately, and I know that I can not insure the care and maintenance of <br />continued <br />
