AVENl1E Et'ERBTi� {�Aev1Na•iON Od¢oo September 14, 1976 Board of Adjustment c% Pianning Department City Hall Everett, Washington 98201 Gentlemen: Attached, you will find an application for a variance to alluw paving of less than the total area of a lot used for the sale of recreational vehicles located at 9129 Evergreen Way. I represent both the property owner, L. C. Tomlinson, and the tenant, Security Industries, Inc. , acting as their real estate agent. The variance is being requested as a precautionary step, because we and the owner are unabie to determine with any degree of accuracy when the previous tenant, a recreational vehicle storage operation, vacated the property. If the property was vacated in the previous year, it would not appear necessary to pave the lot at all because of the allowances for such a situation which is provided for in the zoning ordinances -- it being a similar useage which was previously allowed. However, the previous tenant vacated the property, or rather abandoned it, without giving notice to the property owner. Mr. Tomlinson, the owner, who is in his eighties, was in Hawaii at the time recovering from a serious illness and thus was unaware of the abandonment until his return. He is unable to determine the date. Phe new tenant, a very responsible manufacturer and retailer of recreational vehicies, naturally does not want to be in any jeopardy in their operation. They also naturally want to conform to the letter and spirit of the law with as little outlay of capital as possible because of their relatively short term control of the property. They have already spent considerable funds refurbishing, paving, and landscaping what was an eyesore in the neighborhood. They would appreciate any consideration which can be yiven to their request.
