i access to the proposed doorway. Even if that were not the case, our customers' privacy while tanning can hardly be assured while the doors to the tanning room remain unlocked to allow access at any and all times to the deck and stairs. Prcdictably, this will raduce my clienYs tanning bed income by 25%, which he, like most small business owners, cannot afford. That is a totally unacceptable solution, especially when there are alternatives that are aimost c�st free, far less burdensome and almost without cost and certainly feasible. My client and Enrapture have been at odds for some time over many issues, including Enrapture's elimination of my clienYs prior access to the existing fire escape on the west side of the building. That dispute is how the City of Everett became involved with this building in the first place. Now, it seems that the very person who is seeking the City tc provide him no less and no more than the protection that he had previously (and to which he is entitled) is being asked to carry virtually all of burden of the purported "solution". I submit that the "solution" �ubmitted by Enrapture in its plans is actually thinly veiled retribution for my clienYs persistence in the pursuit of his legitimate claims against them. li would be unbecoming for the City of Everett to be a part of it, though I am sure that until new, the City was unaware of the room configurations and the practical problems posed by the Enrapture proposai. A very feasible alternative that would be fa� less expensive, more efficient and �vithout placing a financial burden on my client (or on Enrapture) would be to convert th., existing locked common doorway between Tropitana and Cnrapture into an unlocked access poi it between the two suites, so that Tropitana and its customers would have access to the deck and the stairway. If this very feasible idea is adopted, there would be no need to extend the deck, build a doorway or eliminate one of my clienYs tanning rooms. It would be appealing to say: how can we force Enrapture to adopt this solution and give up its dominion over its leased space. However, wauldn't that be the case for Tropitana if the current proposal is adopted? I have enclosed photographs of the exterior deck and stairway as it exists today, as well as a photograph of the interior of my client's space showing where the proposed doorway would be cut through the exterior so as to virtually eliminate one tanning room. Another picture shows the common doorway between Suites 4 and 5. Finally, I have attached a marked copy of the current plan to show how emergency egress could be actualized through this common doorway. / C:1Documenls and Seltings\Itidba111Local Setlings\Temporary Intemel Fiies\OLK2C\tidball.doc 10110/06(I)#25397.001 y �
