March 1, 1988 Mike Brown Metco Construction Inc. 17018 15th Ave. NE Seattle, WA 98155 Dear Mike: MAR 0 2 1983 CITY OF EVERETT Public Works Dept, CITY OF eve rett CITY HALL • 259.8755 EVERETT.

At the public hearing, you also indicated that you would be saving as much of the natural vegetation on the site, especially respecting the evergreen tree cover.
