City of Everett Engineer -2- b7a;� 13, 1�82 abuts shall be improved at the owner's expense in accordance with specified requirements. Those requirements are that business and commercial land uses shall construct street and alley improvements together �aith necessary appurtenances unless the City Engineer allows "interim improvements as defined in the ordinance or a variance from the �� requirements of the ordinance. The City Engineer may grant interim improvement permission where he is satisfied that adequate improvements exist exc�pt for nom- inal lacking of street widths or where plans for more compre- hensive improvements exist �•:hich would alter the ultimate improve- ments required to be con5tructed on the public right of way. It is submitted that the City Engineer should find that interim improvements on 75th Street ar.e sufficient for the reason that adequate improvements of 75th Street now exist except for nominal lacking of street widths. 75th Street was recently caidened when the shoppiug cc�nter to tl'�e south was develcped and there is no figure of vehicle use of 75th Street that �vould indicate it is needed to be widened further at this time to acco*nmodate traffic using the same. Ultimate improvements �vo11d require an additionaJ. ten feet of width and curbs, gutters and sidewalks and it is our understanding that such would not be constructed in the near future Uy the city even though it had ownership of the land upon which such construction would occur. The ordinance further provides that all interim improvements allowed would require a property owner to provide a power of attorney in support o£ a local improvement district for construc- tion of street and alley improvements together with necessary appurtenances. Although the applicant, Horizon �nterpri.ses, Inc., is a lessee for a term of years of the s'�aject property and not the owner thereof, it is willing �.o sign SL:CI1 acquiesence and covenani and can secure similar signature of the otaner of the property, its landlord. The ordinance zurther provides in subsection "c" thereof that all owners of property shall dedicate additional rights of way as necessary to complete the required street improvements in accord- ance with city standards. This requireraent of the ordinance cannot be met because the owner of the property, the landlord, values the necessary ten feet i�o be deeded to the city at approximately $15,000 as a present value,
