Derrickson <br /> Planning Director AP R 3 U �4 <br /> City of Evzrett <br /> Everett, wast,�ngton CITY OF E:'iRETT <br /> Re: Frank Stipek Planning aept <br /> EMC variance request <br /> Dear Mr. Derrickson: <br />' I have been following with interest [he various developrier,ts on the 7 acre <br /> property previously controlled by ourselves on the corner of 19th Ave. S.E. <br /> and 100th Ave. S.E. To this point in time, the various proposals I have been <br /> made aware of, involving a facility to house and car.e for the elderly have <br /> seemed reasonable to me and within the spirit of what we had proposed to do <br /> with the property. <br /> Your notice of hearing dated April 23, 1984, however, requests variances <br /> which I definitely take exception to. Specifically, I feel that the proposed <br /> development on this property should be kept within existing codes both for <br /> set back and building height. I think to allow variances at this point would <br /> constitute a significant betrayal of promises made to the community by the <br /> pl�inning department when the property was annexed in to the city of Everett. <br /> The basic purpose of these codes as I see it is to establish some ob�ective <br /> criteria whereby tue existing aesthetics of the community can be maintained <br /> as much as possible. I feel that multiple story structures particularly with <br /> elevator shafts which exceed existing height requirements would definitely <br /> viola[e those aesthetics. Changes in set back which are also designed to I <br /> fulfill similar criteria will also inevitably result in undesirable and <br /> unnecessary aesthetic changes. <br /> I think the general proposal of developing the property for the use of our <br /> senior citizens is a good one and such development is certainly needed in the <br /> Silver Lake Com�nunity. However, it must co-exist with the exi�ting residental <br /> nature of the area. I would therefore encourage you to use maximal discretion <br /> with the contract zoning wh3ch exists on the site and to be extremely wary of <br /> granting any variances of the exLsting code whatsoever. <br /> Respectfully, <br /> � � ��'"—'�. <br /> Dr. Kevin E.
