June 17, 1967 towit: Mayor City of Port Townsend Port Townsend, Wash. 8 Dear Sir: I We purchased the Hamilton Addition and the Phoenix Addition except lots 7&8, of the city of Port Townsend, There.are several matters I would like cleared up. The owner of tþe land just north of the Hamilton Addition has placed a new fence in the middle of Howard St. from Hastings St. to our north line. He has cultivated the land right up to the fence. It is our desire to use Howard St. and grade it and possibly gravel it und run water main at least two thirds of the way thru our land. The land owner states he was given permis& on to build the fence in the middle of the right of way and is disturbed with our desire to build the road there. This is the most logical location to tap our land. \fuat can be done to get the owner to move the fence? If he refuses to move it do we have the right to remove its Does the city allow Trailers within the city if inspected septic tanks are enstalled? We have considered building loop roads east and west and estab¡ish trailer home sites on one to 3 or 4 ~ots if thi s is allowable. 'Ihe loop roads would both lead off of HO\vard st. If we did develop it like this we would want to leave the timer standing so it would more or less be like a park. There are several other matters to be discussed with you and your council if the two questions above can be ironed out. I Yours truly Ed Roberson Mayor SullivE).n .referred the above communication to the Street -Supt. From H. J. Carroll, Port Townsend, May 31,1967 to-wit: City Cl erk, Port Townsend, Wash.
