I would have expected the Cfty to recognize this and at <br /> least be efficlent in thelr approach..., l had even hoped they would be <br /> helpful , We have been trying to sfmply get an approval to proceed for <br /> months, The rest of thfs proJect was completed long ago, and your depart- <br /> ment:, are still agonizfng over th(s simple structure, <br /> A chronology for explanatlon; <br /> - Mid January: finished the plans for this project. <br /> - immediately I took a set of drawings to Mr, Kozlovskl to exp�aln the <br /> approach and to avoid confusing pr-oblems (such as we are now experlencing), <br /> - Over the past three months I have talked at least six times to members <br /> of the building department, as well as to Mr,Kozlovski, Wayne Kir�s, <br /> and yourself. <br /> - April 4th I was notified of the necr•;sity of this statement for <br /> processing, <br /> This entire process has been frustrating and unnecessary, This is not <br /> the tirst time, nor am I the only one who has been hampered by an adver�ary <br /> approach taken by the buflding inspection and review departments, <br /> So�ne thinking needs to be given about the role of these departmen�s and <br /> thefr assistance and attitude towards the citizens who try to con�ribute to <br /> the improvement of the Clty, <br /> �� �� � =�it�r' <br /> �- <br /> Robert Haggard � n �C= '� ;a,; ��� � <br /> �� ' YJ, J <br /> 1� <br /> APR 1 G 1975 <br /> cc: Mayor Anderson <br /> Mrs, Beata Se i bo I d ,.•-•••••.._.._..__.___ ... . <br /> .....,... <br /> CITY OF EVERETT <br /> [ngineering Deph <br /> � <br />
