SR 104 - C.S.3130 - Contract 9349
Edmonds Ferry Terminal Landscaping
& Rest ooma in 111ni-pant - GC 2970
Following our awarding a contract to Spragues' Inc. for the construction and
landscaping of restroom facilities in Edmonds we were advised by representa-
tives of the City that it would not be possible to construct the mini -park
as previously agreed upon between the City and the State.
The City is unable to make available a portion of James Street for the con-
struction of the restroom facilities, as agreed to in GC 2970, due to legal
objections by the abutting property owners lying to the south of James Street.
We have looked at the various alternatives for the most appropriate ;redesign.
Recognizing the desire of the Council that we investigate a co-olete reversal
of the restroom facilities, and consider placing them on the north end of the
site, we have concluded that the most reasonable modification would be to move
the restroom facilities northerly off of James Street. The restrooms would
still be on the southern portion of the mini -park site. To move the restrooms
further to the z.orth ,could create a substantial increase in cost, as a result
of major modifications in the utilities.
I have previously discussed with Mr. Ron Whaley, City Supervisor, the necessity
that the City stand any costs associated with the redesign of the facilities,
since it was through no negligence on the part of the State that this change is
necessary. it appears, hc.rever, since we now would leave Jamea Street antouched,
that there would be some savings in the total cost resulting from the do uctioa
of 60 ft. of landscaping and fencing. This 911imination would offset the cost
of the redesign.
We prOpose to proceed with the plan as modified. and are attaching a copy of it.
For the record, I ' ould appreciate your Supplying as with a letter of approval
of the revised plan. All other conditions covered by our previous agreement will
resin in force.

To His Honor, the Mayor
and the City Council 8 COUNCIL
Edmonds, Washington ENDA
Gentlemen:
Just to get things on the record --
We are owners of that piece of property abutting James
Street on the south side of that street between Second
Avenue and the new ferry holding lanes. It has come to
our attention that the city has discussed vacating the
end of James Street to the extent of around 50 or 60
feet of its length beginning at the holding lanes and
east to the James Street intersection with the alley
running from James to Main between Second and the holding
f lanes.
We have been advised that work is under contract to place
public restrooms in the to -be -vacated end of James Street
between our property and the south end of the city owned
strip of property lying to the north of James Street be-
tween the alley and holding lanes. It is also our under-
standing that at this date actual vacating of the street
end of James has not been effected, but that there has
been an understanding between council and engineering to
go ahead with extending the park area southward across
James Street for the purpose of installing the aforemen-
tioned restrooms along with development of the park area
to the north.
We feel we must register our objection to this taking of
James Street from street uses because our property has
frontage on James Street, and park use or any other use
by the city of the street end of James at this location
would be denying frontage access to the fifty or sixty
feet of James Street that is equal to the depth of pro-
perty acquired by the city between the alley and the
holding lanes and would possibly seriously depreciate
the values and or use of our property.
We would suggest that the city had adequate property to
the north of James between alley and holding lanes to
Page .
provide restroom and landscaping space without blocking
off a substantial portion of our property from its pre-
sent street access.
Engineering was to meet with us this week to discuss this
matter and other problems arising out of our need for
developing parking space and for securing improved main-
tenance of the now sadly deteriorated James Street be-
tween Second Avenue and the present alley. For the re-
cord, we are also owners of the Alaska Northwest Publishing
Company building lying to the north of James Street on
Second Avenue and running back to the alley. We employ
an average of forty people and they and various delivery
trucks create a lot of traffic on this stub of James.
Present condition of James here is pretty rough and could
stand a great deal of upgrading.
Also for the record, it should be stated that all city
employees have been most courteous and the real purpose
of this letter is to place ourselves in proper legal
record position to dispute the city's assumptive use of
James Street as presently contemplated. It is hoped that
consultation at an early date will resolve any problems
we might have before they become fact.

Dear Mr. Murphy:
In accordance with your instructions, we have recorded the
Tdarranty Deed from Sparkman & McLean Company to the City of Edmonds
on February 8th and the title insurance policy has now been issued.
I an, forwarding a copy of your closing statement, recorded
Warranty Deed and Title Insurance Policy. I have not yet disbursed
the proceeds of the sale to Spariznan S: McLean Company as I want
you to approve the documents before I release the funds.
The 1971 taxes were pro -rated as of July 1, 1971; however, as
the transaction did not close until 1972, does the City still pay
the pro -rate from July 1, 1971? Also the Title Insurance Policy
contains an exception regarding the rights of the State of Washington
to limit, restrict or prohibit vehicular traffic.
I presume the tax pro -rate is acceptable, as is, and that paragraph
one in the title insurance policy is also acceptable, but I would like
your confirmation on these two items prior to disbursing of funds.
Re have notified the Snohomish County Treasurer to delete the
property from the 1972 tax rolls.
Very, &uly yours,
