September 10, 1984 <br /> 3827 N.E. 94th <br /> Seattle, WA 98115 <br /> L. N. Callahan ` <br /> Butlding Director <br /> City of Everett <br /> City Hall <br /> Everett. Washington 98201 <br /> RE: 1302 Chestnut <br /> Everett. Washington <br /> Dear Mr. Callahan: <br /> The property is sold sub�ect to the purchasers obtaining a building permit <br /> from the City of Everett � and of course, <br /> financing. The transaction has been in process for a mos ar. <br /> .��� <br /> One of the ma�or stumbling blocks to the developnent is your, the City <br /> of Everett's, unreasonable and infeasible requirement of developers to <br /> install streets, curbs and sidewalks on an individual basis. <br /> The cost of these improvements does not increase the profect's rent or <br /> value nor does it substantislly improve the neighborhood since the <br /> remaining area is unimproved. Therefore, you are only adding to the <br /> cost of the profect which, in this case. exceeds 530,000 an� renders <br /> the pro�ect infeasible. ---L__ � <br /> Due to the potential sale and eventual demolition, I .cannot rent the d <br /> structures nor can I protect �yself from the local residents. <br /> It would seem to me that the City of Everett would be eager to assist <br /> in the redevelopment of the sub�ect neighborhood instead of requiring <br /> uneconomical offsite improvements and thus discouraging upgrading of <br /> the rundown district. I <br /> The purchaser is �tr. William Rigg, who has a building permit application <br /> on record. A simple solution to the current impasse is obvious and will <br /> benefit all parties concerned, particularly the city of Everett. <br /> Your assistance will be appreciated. <br /> i' Sir�a�relY. <br /> .�C�� <br /> William M. Pattison � <br /> cc: Mayor William E. Moore ��i jv`S,c� � , :`--��` <br /> William Riyg <br />
