Second, The city should not grant any approval or requests until the college and hospital <br />sit down like responsible adults to discuss their future needs for land in North Everett. <br />Without such cooperation, it is likely that we will be looking back at a destroyed historic <br />neighborhood and lament that it was caused simply by a shameful lack of <br />communication. <br />Third, and above all, every effort should be made to retain the Donovan homes on the <br />west side of Oakes Avenue to preserve the historic residential character on both sides of <br />the street. The hospital could then do what's necessary to rehabilitate and beautify the <br />homes it owns to prepare them for sale. <br />The hospital and its consultants have to care about the quality of this neighborhood and <br />be aware that it is not in their best interest to degrade its surroundings. If their plans can <br />serve to enhance and preserve the quality of life in the nearby residential areas of North <br />Everett, then and only then will they create the stable and supportive community in which <br />the hospital and its neighbors wish to live. <br />Thank you for this opportunity to comment. <br />Sincerely, <br />Board Members of Historic Everett <br />David Chrisman, Chair Shirley Small <br />Valerie Steel Jack O'Donnell <br />Judy Morrison Gail Chism <br />Bill Belshaw Christina Robertson <br />Patti Lohse Alieen Langhans <br />
