PUBLIC WORKS & UTILITIES DEPARTMENT September 9, 2002 Gerald and Juanita Bauer 11927 48'h Drive, SE Everett, W A 98208 RE: 728 Caroline Street This letter is in reference to your concerns about the use of your driveway at the above referenced location. The use of your driveway would be a civil concern between two property owners. The adjacent property to the west of yours is under the ownership of the Anthony R. Galgano Family Trust, 715 Caroline Street. I suggest that you contact the owners of the vacant lot and ask them to discontinue this activity. Also you may want to consider placing some form of landscaping or a fence along the west property line. If you choose to install a fence within the city's right of way, you will need a right of way use permit from the Public Works & Utility Department. That portion of the landscaping or fence placed adjacent to the driveway would be limited 30" in height. I have enclosed a copy ofthe right of way use permit application. Feel free to contact me at 417-4807 if you have questions. Sincerely, J~~ Trenia Funston, Engineering Permit Specialist File: Address 321 EAST FIFTH STREET · P. o. BOX 1150.

We recently became aware that a gravel vehicle pathway has been constructed along the west side of our property through the vacant lot. Without our permission, our driveway is being used for access to this path. The path is used as a shortcut connecting Caroline Street with the alley to the south. We are concerned about this situation because of its affect on property values, quality of life for our renters, and the fact that, without an easement or permission, our driveway is being used for this purpose. We plan to build a better house on our property and move to Port Angeles in the future and do not want the current situation to affect our plans. We would appreciate your comments on how to resolve this situation. Thank you.
