RE: Sight distance and sidewalk obstruction on SR-104 / Edmonds Way in Edmonds
To whom it may concern:
Our records indicate that you are the owner of the property at 10117 Edmonds Way (City of
Edmonds, WA). We have received a complaint that the vegetation on your property (along
Edmonds Way) is obstructing the sidewalk and limiting sight distance for drivers coming out of
the property just to your north (see picture attached). City of Edmonds staff has investigated the
matter and determined that this is indeed the case. This is in violation of City code, from which
the following is excerpted:
9.25.010 Violations.
A. It is unlawful for any person who either owns or has the right to possession, or both, of abutting real
property to permit the erection or maintenance of any sign, device, structure or vegetation in the following
circumstances herein set forth, and in the event of circumstances presently existing which by reason of
this section are now in violation of the Edmonds City Code, said person shall immediately remove the
same:
1. In such manner that it obscures or conceals any traffic control sign, signals or other device as
to interfere with the full and effective use and visibility of the same to the motoring or pedestrian public;
In order to reduce the hazard and enhance public safety, the City of Edmonds directs you to
remove or cut back your bushes to allow visibility in the future.
Please complete the modification and trimming by June 17, 2010. Your cooperation in bringing
your vegetation into compliance is appreciated. Please feel free to call me with any questions at
425-771-0220.
Sincerely,
