- • s Meg Haley To: Ted Budden Cc: Paul McKee Subject: RE: Code Enforcement Violation Citations for 3231 Broadway RE: 3231 Broadway Hi Ted, In response to Kevin's question this morning, I recommend that the owner obtain a certificate of occupancy for the building by submitting a permit application with plans by a Washington State licensed architect, per RCW 18.08.410 (7) since the occupancy affects the life safety of the building. The occupancy of the building has at times been unlawful, per IPMC 108.1.4, based on field observations by the City of Everett on 4/23/14. On 10/30, a permit application with plans was submitted by an architect, permit BW1410-004, but they are incomplete. When I spoke to Mr. Haugen about the lack of information on the plans on 12/3/14, Mr. Haugen thought the city was only requiring a permit for alterations to the exit stairs and fire escape,which were also incomplete. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Work without permits Over time, the building use has changed from single tenant occupancy in the 1970's to a multi-tenant mixed-use occupancy, sometimes without permits for the required life safety alterations. � In 1995,the City sent a letter requesting a permit submittal for a Certificate of Occupancy without receiving a response from the owner (attached). � On 3/17/2014, the owner of White Heron Winery, Cameron Fries, was seeking a tasting room with access to the basement: "The idea with the downstairs area is that we would move the tasting area down there for some live music, both areas would not be used at the same time. I'll be surprised if the downstairs will hold more than 100 people." • On 4/23/2014, City of Everett and the owner did a walk through and observed that the basement has been occupied and arranged for unpermitted assembly uses in the last several years,to include two stages, based on a walkthrough with on April 23, 2014. • On 5/14/2014,the owner of White Heron Winery, Cameron Fries, was still seeking a tasting room on the first floor with limited access to the basement. • On 12/3 and 12/4/14, Eric Moran with Control Dynamics Inc. was trying to obtain permits for office and medical marijuana uses in the basement. You may also want to check with Steve Ingalsbe regarding the historical parking requirements on the basement floor and within the site. He is researching whether a variance will be required, or whether only warehouse use will be allowed in the basement by the Planning Department. gest, n�teg MeC] �"�8�2y� RA � VI@v� i�Zvi��s/�Y�C✓��tPC� � PEr�ti.l`.SE�rti�i,:v_5, C�tl� Cf EV?'rEt` � =:2G0 CZdG!��5: � E��rott� V�,�A�82C�� 425-257-8813 � mhaley@everettwa.qov � l��tT:�iv�,��.cC.e��e�,et�.�si�.�->�def��t!t.c�stix��=�1-=c From: Kevin Fagerstrom Sent: Tuesday, December 09, 2014 7:50 AM To: Ted Budden; Meg Haley Subject: 3231 Broadway 1 / �/� ;
