January 2, 1987 Washington Oregon Claim Service Seattle Office Attn: Bill Spearman P.O. Box 25549 Seattle, WA 98125 Subject: Claimant: George Winkles 6-4883 Dear Mr. Spearman: everett the Evergreen �m, oF everett Fcauc vo�..; oen.�rn�e�,r a_::ce��asrae=_r E;E�=-- ��:.s��,ev 983pt On April 22, 1986, an application was submitted to the City of Everett on behalf oP Mr. George Winkles by Cascade Construction Co., Inc. to construct a single family residence. A plot plan was submitted with the application that indicated the minimum yard setback of five (5) feet adjacent to the east property line. During the plan review it was noted that the setbact should be six (6) feet, this was in error and if a permit would have been issued this error would have been corrected and the minimum setback would have remained at five (5) feet. The statement oP Mr. Winkles that the City claims 7 feet of said property for drainage is not quite accurate, as .the City does not have an easement over this property and the drainage that is spoken of is a natural drainage course. Mr. Dan Mathias of the Public Works Department, o�i two occasions has attempted to inform Mr. Winkles oP this and also informed Mr. Winkles that he can put this drainage course in an adequate size culvert. If the drainage course were placed in an adequate culvert, the::e is the possibility that this area could be utilized for his driveway. After a visual inspection oP the proposed building site, we can not find any evidence of any preparation of the site for construction. Also, as no permits have been issued by the City of Everett, there has been no authorization by the City of Everett to proceed. iherePore, the applicant or his contractor has done so at his own risk.
