Center Feasibility Analysis, May 14, 2001, prepared by Shockey Brent; the Everett Special Events Center Transportation and Parking Analysis, October 12, 2001, prepared by Perteet Engineering; the draft (June 2001) and final (July 2001) Supplemental Environmental Impact Statements for the Special Events Center; the testimony provided at public hearings before the City Council and the Public Facilities District with respect to site selection. 5. The City of Everett has since acquired, by acquisition or condemnation, or now holds the right to acquire, all of the properties on Site 5 for development of the Special Events Center. 6. Since August 1, 2001, the Public Facilities District has entered into certain contractual arrangements, selected and retained a design-build team, selected a final design for the Special Events Center, and otherwise is in the process of full and final development and construction of the Special Events Center. 7. The Moffat Building (1908-1910 Hewitt Avenue) and Stovies Stove Shop (1922 Hewitt Avenue) were both listed on the City of Everett's Historic Register in 1988 by the Everett City Council on the recommendation of the Historical Commission and were granted special valuation. "Special valuation" is the revision of the assessed value of a historic property which subtracts, for up to ten years, such rehabilitation costs as are approved by a local review board. 8. The design and construction of the Special Events Center on Site 5 will require the demolition of the Moffat Building and the Stovies Stove Shop Building. 9. Demolition of buildings listed on the Everett Historic Register requires review and recommendation by the Everett Historical Commission and the issuance of a Waiver of a Certificate of Appropriateness by the City Council for each of the buildings. 10. The City of Everett, as landowner, and the Everett Public Facilities District, as land lessee and project developer, submitted an application to the City's Historical Commission, asking that it recommend that the City Council issue a Waiver of the Certificates of Appropriateness for the Moffat Building and Stovies Stove Shop Building, to allow demolition of those buildings for development and construction of the Everett Special Events Center. 11. The Historical Commission conducted a public hearing on Wednesday, November 14, and Wednesday, November 28, 2001, to consider the Application for Waivers. 3
