s . r I RESOLUTION NO. A Resolution Adopting the"Everett Harborfront Public Access Plan" as part of the City of Everett's General Plan WHEREAS, the City of Everett has a desire to improve the public access along the Everett Harborfront; and WHEREAS, Citizen input has been received through a public hearing and workshop process on the plan ideas; and WHEREAS, the City of Everett wishes to work with the Port of Everett to provide public access to the harborfront for the residents of the Port District and the City of Everett; and WHEREAS, the Port of Everett has adopted the Everett Harborfront Public Access Plan minus the 13th Street project, which will be revisited when the plans for the Yacht Club are developed. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: 1. The plan entitled the "Everett Harborfront Public Access Plan" is hereby adopted without the 13th Street project. There is a recognized need for public access in the North Marina Area and the City agrees with the Port Commission that public access at 13th Street will be revisited when plans for the Yacht Club are developed. The City recognizes the need for flexibility in regards to the 13th Street proposal in the plan and the potential relocation of Jordan Park. The City affirms the need for access to the water such as proposed with the 13th Street proposal, but is open to another location and concept. 2. The City of Everett is committed to continue to work cooperatively with the Port of Everett to provide public access for the public. 3. The gate from the Navy base to the Marina Village shown on page 23 is not meant to be a requirement of the Navy. If possible, it is desirable for the Navy to provide a gate on the north side of the base to provide access to the Marina area.
