January 24, 2005 <br />Planning Commission <br />Department of Planning and Community Development <br />City of Everett <br />2930 Wetmore Avenue, Suite 8-A <br />Everett, WA 98201 <br />To Whom It May Concern: <br />CITY P i On n E nn � RE M' <br />As a resident of the Donovan District, I am writing to express serious concern over the <br />Providence Everett Medical Center's proposed action to demolish a block of Donovan homes to <br />expand the hospital campus. <br />My main concern stems from the very real possibility that property values will be adversely <br />affected by the hospital's expansion plans: <br />Will my home maintain an adequate resale value to warrant the work that my wife and I <br />have put into restoring the home? <br />I am aware that the neighborhood was designated as a historical neighborhood. How is <br />the hospital able to destroy homes that have supposedly been "protected" by this <br />classification? <br />Will the home be easily sellable — with a hospital or parking lot across the street — should <br />my wife and I decide to relocate? <br />Furthermore, the next logical question that stems from the hospital's desire to expand in the <br />direction of my own home is: "WILL MY HOUSE GO NEXT?" What — if any — are the City's <br />plans to protect the remaining homes from expansion efforts? <br />Sincerely, <br />1 <br />Samuel Stothers <br />1305 Oakes Avenue <br />Everett, WA 98201 <br />(425) 339-0979 <br />• <br />
