Cogdill: �j]V � x H�, In April of this year I contacted Gerry Ervine to work out a r �y deal concerning trees. The Etvines had asked the Barhanoviches g y H (neighbors immediately south ) if they would fell a tree which � b� was on the Barton/Barhanovich property line which shaded the � c�� Ervine 's property . 4�ne deal we struck was that if Ervine would fell a view blocking t�ee and do some trimming, we would fell y p N the tree shading theit back yard. We fell our tree in late April . Gerry says he has no current plans to fell his agreed- u�on tree. I mentioned to Gerry that we were putting in a swimming pool at about the same time as the tree conversation and asked if he �vere concerned about the cetaining wall as it was leaning �� eastward prec:ariously. He asked if when the pool were dug that �a � �he contractor could look for underground cables or deadheads and/or pull the wall uprighl. There was no discussion of wall ownership al- this point. (�.� P�ol excavation began in June at whicl� time the City of Everett physically inspected the area and decreed that the leaning wall needed to be resolved. Priur to this, Gerry and I discussed the �� wall and its ownership with no eesolution. I offered to split the cost of a survey and the cost of a new wall, if necessaey . The response was in the negative . �( ( On the evenin9 of July Sth , 1990, our pool contractoe , Chuck Beaver� and I met with GerCy to discuss action on L-tie wall . IIeavers had an engineer-approt�ed plan to correct the wall 1(�j problem. The plan was to support the wall wi.th beams from the Ervine side, excavate all eartli from our side, upright the wall , place ecology blocks on the footings , and tie the wall into the � ecolo9y blocks . If the wall could noL- be upriyhted, it would be �.� � secured with plates and cables Co the ecoioyy blucks .
