Resolution 5133 - Laserfiche WebLink

6. It is recommended that the support building to the community ice rink be constructed in such a manner as to provide an opportunity for the provision of public space on an upper level of that building. 7. Preservation of the Scottish Rite Building is not justified because of the costs required, the loss of flexibility in the design and planning of public open space along Hewitt Avenue and the incompatibility due to the difference in elevation between the Scottish Rite Building and the Special Events Center. 8. Preservation of all or any portion of the Moffat Building or the Stovies Stove Shop Building is not justified or required for mitigation due to the excessive costs required. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EVERETT THAT: 1. In reaching its decision and recommendation, the City Council reviewed the Application, Historical Commission's recommendation, minutes and transcripts and related exhibits, made appropriate inquires of the applicants, carefully considered the proposed design and testimony of the applicants, and carefully considered exhibits and testimony from the public during the public hearing with respect to the proposed design and appropriate mitigation. 2. The Everett City Council approves and hereby grants the Waivers of the Certificates of Appropriateness submitted by the Everett Public Facilities District and the City of Everett to allow demolition of the Moffat Building and Stovies Stove Shop building, both listed on the City of Everett's Historic Register, and hereby reverses the recommendation of the Historical Commission subject to the conditions set forth in Conclusion 5 above. 3. The City and the Everett Public Facilities District are authorized and directed to complete the acquisition of the Scottish Rite Building, to proceed with demolition, and to use the land for the Special Events Center. 11
