I hope you will find the in- formation in this letter satisfactory to meet that requirement. If not, possibly you could draft an outline of an impact state- ment, using the information provided herein. I have been trying to run down the estimated 900 employees in the proposed building and haven't been able to come up with any- thing approaching that figure. First of all, this building is to be occupied mainly by professionals, either in the legal pro- fession or CPA's, etc., as well as para-professionals such as life insurance personnel and engineers. At least these are the requests for space that we are presently receiving. We have taken a typical lawyer's office and discovered that a firm occupying 4,100 square feet would have approximately 16 employees. That works out to about 260 square feet per person, which would make the occupancy of the building around 350 persons, based 4 •k;�� o.n 91,000 square feet of rentable .space within the building. 1' Assuming that this is a little lower density than throughout the e bt+ rest of the building, we have applied to this a factor of plus 25%, coming up with approximately 437 occupants. Let's round that up to 450, to be on the safe side. This is exactly one- half of the number estimated by your group. We have also studied the code for the City of Everett and have determined that under the code as we interpret it, it would be necessary to have 267 parking places for a building this size, if we were within the code area. We have further determined that there are 354 public parking spaces within 550' of the subject property. This does not in- clude any on -street parking but includes the Diamond Parking lot between Hoyt and Colby, and between Pacific and Hewitt.
