Mr. Lon M1tayberry CITY OF [VERETT Publi c Works Departn�ent rublic Works DepL City of Everett 3200 Cedar Everett, WA 98201 SUIiJECT: REQUEST FOR WRITTEN CLARIFICATION OF RIGIiT-OF-WAY USE PERI4IT AS DESCRIBED IiELOId. t4r. Piayberry: Per our telephone conversation today, I ain sending you the enclosed copy of my letter to City Planning of March 5 which specifically describes what my husband and I wish to do on our property at 3301 tJorton in Everett, Also enclosed is a copy of the letter I received frem Roberta Goodnow dated April 1 , 1981 wliich suggests that a right-of-aiay use permit is the best way for us to achieve this plan. I am not certain I agree eiith that. I have sane questi�ns. Two years ago when ��e �•+ent to the Public Works Office then at Roosevelt School �ye �aere told it would cost us for the right-of-�•+ay use permit, and also that we �aould have to pay to lease any city property we might use. It was hard to get a clarification. Someone at Public lJorks (I believe it was f4r. Fullerton) also told me by phone that it �vould cost us 5250 to apply to purcliase (vacate) this small strip of land, plus another $500 to have an appraisal done by the city for the application because, although �ae are an R-1 use in an area of R-1 usage, we are zoned R-3. Even then, we were told, it was hi9hly unlikely �ae would be allovied to purchase this land and would not have our j750 refunded. It was discouraging. I still want a garden in that spot; I still want it fenced. I am willin9 to work through this with the city as I think our plan is reasonable use of this small 12' x 46' plot. What I ask from your office at this time is „ritten clarification of what this right-of-way use permit will and/or will not exactly do. Is there any cost for the permit? Roberta says there is not. Is there any other hidden cost of such a use? Leasing? How much? What base? Please be very specific in your written answer. I �aant no surprises to surface after I haul brick and mortar for two months. Also, the permit says it is valid for 60 days. We �aant to fence and use this city-owned right-of-way for an indefinite period, not for 60 days. Please clarify in writing. I can be reached by phone at 259-5543, if absolutely necessary. However, I would prefer a �aritten response at your earlicst convenience. Sincerely, � � �� '.:c�=i- �- Marilyn Ferrier P.S. t+hile we' re at it. . . please also clarify, in writina, what would be needed to purchase (vacate�this sa land in view of the state law which says land should be returned to �ie tax roles if no use is planned. , Encs.
