Re: Notice of Development Application & Decision
File # S-2002-43
Dear Ms Gruwell,
RECEIVED
APR 18 2002
DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
We have reviewed the application drawing dated 1/7/02 and the associated City of
Edmonds Engineering Requirements for th ' is project dated 3/22/02. In consideration of
the complexity of the various issues surrounding this particular short plat and the number
of unresolved issues which need to be addressed prior to approval of this short plat we
would like to request that the City schedule a public hearing as soon as possible to
address the issues related to this application and to provide affected parties an
opportunity to publicly share concerns as well as to allow City officials and the applicants
to publicly address these concerns and present relevant information and plan details.
We support the right of the Chapman'sto subdivide their property and are not opposed to
development of this property, however there are a number of issues that we are concerned
about, which have not yet been addressed by the applicants or the City and which need to
be resolved before this shortplat is approved.
Some of our specific concerns are as follows:
Improvements to Hillcrest Place: We understand that the City of Edmonds can no
longer require developers to make street improvements as has been the past practice of
the City. At the same time Hillcrest Place currently needs to be repaved to repair existing
cracks. Curbs, gutters and catch basins to collect runoff also need to be installed and
connected to the City storm sewer system at the intersection of Hillcrest and Main Street.
We are concerned that heavy equipment traffic associated with the construction of four
new homes plus an approximately 20% increase in daily traffic from the new homes
could severely accelerate deterioration of the public roadway on Hillcrest Place. We
would like the City to address these concerns and develop a plan and timeline to ensure
that these infrastructure improvements are completed prior to the creation of new lots and
construction of new homes accessed via Hillcrest Place . We are particularly concerned
about the costs of these improvements and who will be responsible for paying for street
rq� e- 1 A
0 0
improvements necessitated by increased street usage and construction activity. If costs
are to be bome by local residents we would like to know up front what these costs are
likely to be and how they will be apportioned as well as have an opportunity to comment
on them before the City approves the creation of new building lots accessed via Hillcrest
Place.
New Roadway proposed on our Private Property: We have reviewed the City of
Edmonds Engineering Requirements for this proposed subdivision and support the
requirements to widen and repave the access roadway across our property as well as to
install curbs, gutters and catch basins to collect runoff and route it into the city storm
sewer system. We would encourage the City to maintain these requirements as
mandatory conditions of the subdivision which will be binding on future owners and
developers. We are also concerned about speed and traffic control on this roadway.
Currently there is no signage or visible indication marking the end of the public street as
well as no turnaround space at the end of the public street at the Northwest comer of our
property. We are concerned that when the access road across our property is improved to
serve this subdivision that we will see an increase in unauthorized vehicle traffic crossing
our property both in search of a through route to Shell Valley as well as in search of a
safe and convenient turnaround point. We would urge the city to also require the
developer to install speed control signs limiting the speed of vehicles across our property
to no more than 15 mph as well as signage to clearly indicate the location of the end of
the public street in an effort to curb unnecessary vehicle traffic across our property.
Access Easement Maintenance Agreement: There has been some confusion over
easement maintenance agreements for both the existing 30' wide access easement across
the west 30' of our property and the 30' wide access easement across the subject
property. This is due to the fact that separate easement maintenance agreements exist for
each property despite the fact that the two easements connect to form a single continuous
gravel/asphalt roadway across the two properties. Responsibility for maintenance of the
easement across the subject property is covered by a maintenance agreement dated and
recorded in 1995to which we are not a party. Responsibility for maintenance of the
access roadway across our property rests solely with the owners of the Chapman property
in accordance with the latter of two different maintenance agreements both dated and
recorded in 1991. Since this proposed subdivision is to be accessed exclusively via the
access easement across our property it will be necessary for the applicants to determine
how these responsibilities will be apportioned amongst the owners of individual lots'
resulting from this subdivision. Our concern is that this detail needs to be addressed and
an amended easement agreement needs to be approved and recorded prior to recording of
the shortplat in order to allow continued legal access to each of the newly created lots.
We are prepared to work with the City and the applicants in order to ensure that this
matter is resolved properly and in a timely manner to avoid unnecessary delays to the
proposed subdivision.
Common Sewer Easement on Chapman Property: We are concerned that the plan
drawing submitted to the City by the applicant does not include the existing common
sewer line on the northwest portion of the subject property. This 6" sewer line runs
TV) e- 2 /4
0 0
across the subject -property in an Easterly direction from the Tap on the City Sewer Main
near the Northwest Comer of the subject property to a point on the subject property near
the north property line where there is a cleanout and active 4" sewer lines from the
existing structure on the subject property as well as from the house on our property.
Since the existing structure on the sOject property is to be demolished we are concerned
that the 4" sewer line to this structure is properly capped and that the existence of the 6"
sewer line and easement for this sewer line be noted on the drawings and referenced in
the subdivision requirements to alert future owners to its existence and the need to leave
it intact during future construction.
Public Water Main Proposed to be built Across our Property: Currently there are
several easements across the west portion of our property. These include an easement to
Snohomish PUD for power lines, an easement to the City of Edmonds for a public sewer
line, an easement for ingress, egress and utilities to and from the individual properties
formerly owned by John and Martha Pierce, and an easement for ingress, egress and
utilities to and from the properties formerly owned by Stuart and Maybelle Chapman.
There is currently no easement for a public water main serving properties other than those
listed above. While we do not necessarily oppose construction of a public water main
across our property we will need more information and more details concerning the
intendeduse, maintenance and location of the proposed water main before we can grant
an easement for it.
New East-West Roadway on Subject Property: We have reviewed the City of
Edmonds Engineering Requirements for this roadway and support the requirement to
install curbs, gutters, catch basins and a stormwater detention system to be connected to
the city storm sewer system. We encourage the City to maintain these requirements as
mandatory conditions of the subdivision which will be binding on future owners and
developers. We are also concerned about the location of the roadway in relation to
current and future structures on our property. As drawn the plan calls for this roadway to
be located approximately 5' from the property line dividing our property and the subject
property. Since we already have a roadway across the west portion of our property, this
is a side property line for our property and the setback for future buildings is 7.5'.
Normally, City of Edmonds development guidelines require a 25 setback between
roadways and residential structures to provide separation between roads and houses. We
are concerned that in the future, setback requirements may restrict our ability to develop
our property by prohibiting locating of structures within 25' of the proposed roadway.
Even if a 25 setback is not required between future structures and the proposed roadway,
we are still concerned about the lack of separation and the impact of traffic noise on
structures close to the roadway. We urge the city to either, require the proposed roadway
to be setback a minimum of 17.5' from the property line to the north in order to provide a
25' separation between future structures and the roadway, or in the event that this proves
impractical, that the City instead provide us with specific written documentation that
should we seek building permits in the future for structures on our property that we will
not be restricted by setback requirements other than those that would apply in the absence
of the proposed roadway and also require the applicants to install visual screening and a
V,
3M
0 0
sound buffering wall or planter with a minimum height of 36" between the proposed
roadway and the property line.
Utilities easement to 88 th Ave W: The application drawings for this proposed
subdivision show a 15' utilities easement under the existing paved roadway which
provides access from 88 1h Ave W. to the house at 20910 88'h Ave. W. We have two
concerns relating to this roadway. The first is that we understand that this easement has
not yet been obtained from the property owners nor are we aware of any guarantee that it
can be obtained in the future. In the event that the City of Edmonds gives preliminary
approval for the subdivision before the easement has been obtained and the applicants are
unable to obtain the easement as drawn we ask that the city not allow any amendments to
the plan allowing an alternative utilities easement without first providing an opportunity
for public review and comment on the alternative proposal. Our second concern is that if
the easement is obtained and utilities and roadways are built as proposed, there is the
potential for unauthorized pedestrian, bicycle or even vehicle traffic to pass between 88th
Ave. and Hillcrest Place by*trespassing across roadways on our property, the subject
property and the access road for the Monroe property (20910 88 1h). We urge the city to
require a solid fence or some other form of barricade separating the subject property from
being accessed via 88 1h Ave. W. in order to prevent unauthorized entry across private
property between Hillcrest Place and 88 1h Ave. W. Please note that our concern here is
the potential for access between 88 1h Ave. W. and Hillcrest Place. We would not oppose
access for proposed lots 3 and 4 to occur from 88th Ave. West, provided that this does not
create a pathway for pedestrian or vehicle to pass between the two streets through private
yards and/or driveways. On the contrary, we would encourage the City and the
applicants to reevaluate the proposed plan and consider amending it to provide access to
lots 3 and 4 from 88 1h rather than Hillcrest in order to reduce traffic impacts on Hillcrest
and divert some of the new traffic onto 88th Ave. W. which already meets city standards
for paving and drainage. This alternative would allow the proposed new East-West
roadway along the north edge of lots I & 2 to be shortened since it would only need to
provide access to lot #2 thereby reducing cost and traffic impacts associated with this
roadway and may also provide more opportunities to save some of the large fir and cedar
trees on proposed lots 2, 3 and 4.
Tree Removal: We have three concerns regarding removal of the large fir and cedar
trees on this property. The first concern is the visual impact of removing too many large
trees which currently add much to the aesthetic quality of the entire neighborhood and
which can not be easily replaced once removed. We recognize that as a practical matter
some trees will need to be removed to permit development but we would encourage
efforts to preserve as many of the larger trees as possible on aesthetic grounds.
Our second and more serious concern is related to potential wind damage to trees and
houses on surrounding properties if too many trees are removed at one time on the
subject property. The stand of several large evergreens in the center of lot 2'and the
cedar trees around lot 4, are a particular concern since they have provided wind protection
to large trees to the north from prevailing southerly windstorms. We are concerned that
removing too many of these trees over the course of only a few years or less will not
'Pq,w- - 4 16
7
allow trees on surrounding properties to the north, including ours, enough time to
strengthen their root systems sufficiently to survive windstorms without the protection of
trees on the subject property. Since the trees to the north are also mature evergreens there
is the potential for a domino effect of large evergreens coming down in windstorms and
posing a serious threat to people, houses and property as they fall.
Our third and most serious concern related to tree removal, however, concerns the
unusual topography and subsoil conditions on this site and the effect of tree removal on
water runoff patterns. With the exception of a spruce tree and some other small non-
native ornamental trees on the west portion of the subject property, the trees on this
property and adjacent properties appear to be derived from naturally regenerated
'&volunteer" seedlings that have come up from seed after the area was twice logged. At
first glance it seems a little puzzling that there should be such a preponderance of cedar
trees amongst the Douglas fir and hemlock trees that would typically be the dominant
species on a hilltop location such as this. Naturally occurring cedar trees are generally
restricted to marshes and swampy locations or in and along the bottoms of ravines. In the
process of serving as caretaker of the subject property for Maybelle Chapman for over terl
years and as owner of the adjacent property we have observed first hand that during the
winter months the surface layer of soil over both properties quickly becomes saturated
during the winter months and does not quickly dry out except under and near the drip
lines of the larger trees. In excavating for the foundation of our own home and utilities
on both properties in 1992 we discovered that both of these properties have a shallow
layer of loose topsoil with a uniform depth of around 36". Beneath this topsoil layer is a
highly compact and nearly completely impervious layer of ancient glacial till material.
Since both of these properties are almost perfectly level rainwater falling on the surface
layer is apparently absorbed in the topsoil and since the site is level and the water can not
penetrate into the underlying material the surface material becomes saturated and trapped
water must flow laterally through the surface layer onto steeper surrounding properties.
The cedar trees on this property are apparently thriving on this captured water just as they
would if they were located in a swampy ravine bottom. Since the root systems of cedars
and to a lesser extent fir and hemlock trees play an important role in retaining stormwater
and releasing water they don't consume into surrounding soil gradually over a period of
time we urge the city and potential developers to exercise extreme care and to consult
with experts in hydrology and geology before disturbing the root systems of these larger
trees. Since the subject property is perched on a level plateau adjacent to a steep bluff
which drops precipitously beginning at the west property line, there is potential for
serious problems if tree removal increases the rate of groundwater movement off of the
subject property and into the top of the adjacent slope. In spite of the fact that the
foundation of our house is properly equipped with foundation drains and despit� the fact
that roof, driveway and sidewalk drains on our property are properly connected to
tightlines which carry water into detention tanks and drain trenches well away from the
building, we nonetheless experience occasional minor problems with water from
surrounding soil seeping under concrete footings and accumulating in the crawl space
under our house during periods of heavy rain. This unexpectedly high water table on a
hilltop location and the presence of the unusually dense and impervious glacial material
just below the surface of this site should be taken as warning signs of potential
/6
groundwater problems in the future. Given the proximity of this site to steep slopes and
the potential magnitude of the damage which could occur from destabilization of the
steep slopes to the west and landslides involving the houses below, we urge the city to
take this matter seriously and to protect the public interest by seeking expert guidance on
this matter before allowing removal of these trees and if it is indeed necessary to remove
these trees to take action to prevent potential problems before they occur. rather than after
irreparable damage has occurred.
Underground Electrical Service: We support the installation of underground wiring
whenever possible both because of the aesthetic value to the entire neighborhood and
because of the enhanced safety and reliability of underground electrical service during
winter storms. Unfortunately this street was originally serviced exclusively by overhead
connections. Gradually as homes have been remodeled individual connections, including
ours, have been converted from overhead to underground at owner expense.
Unfortunately, poles and overhead wiring still remains in place beyond the end of the city
street in order to service older homes. The power pedestals shown on the application
drawing are apparently proposed power pedestals since they do not currently exist on site.
NVe would object to the precise location of one of the power pedestals if built as shown
on the drawing since it would block acces's to.our driveway. Assuming the proposed
location can be adjusted slightly to avoid the middle of our driveway, we support the
installation of underground power lines running from as far north as possible between the
public street and the subject property. Out hope is that at some point in the future once
t�e remaining three residences beyond the end of Hillcrest Place have converted to
btderground service that the overhead power lines beyond the end of the city street can
removed and all homes beyond the end of the street can enjoy the benefits of
tTderground power service. We urge the city to prohibit the use of overhead lines. to
carry power from the public street right of way to the subject property before going
4qdprground and urge the city to instead insist that the wiring for these new lots run
underground all the way from the end of t4e. public street to each ne* w lot.
We will appreciate your consideration of #19se comments and concerns and ask that you
please advise us in writing of any action 4kqn or decisions made concerning this
subdivision as well as the dates and locations of any public hearings scheduled in
connection with this application.
Sincerely,

Re: Short Plat Application for 20915 11illcrest Place; File No. S-2002-43
Dear Ms. Gruwell:
We reside and own the house at 20910 88th Place West, which is located immediately
adjacent to the proposed Lots 3 and 4 of the proposed subdivision. We are generally
supportive of this application.
However, we are concerned about the close proximity and rather modest setbacks shown
on the 'proposed preliminary plat map. We believe a reasonable condition should be
imposed to require that the setback areas be fenced and landscaped with screen trees
and/or hedges along the common boundaries between our lot and Lots 3 and 4.
We also note that a 15-foot wide'easement for a water line and a storm line are being
proposed to run within our backyard and down our driveway. While we believe we
should be able to reasonably negotiate the necessary terms for such easements with the
owner of this plat, we also believe these easements should not be required to become
ease ments dedicated to the public. We believe that these easements should be kept
private easements, With maintenance. obligations to be assumed by a homeowners
association comprised- of the owners of.the 4 lots to be- servedb theselines.
Y.
Please send any decision and/or written communication concerning the above referenced
matter to our address at: 20910 88h Place West, Edmonds, WA 98026.

DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
We are writing in regard to a proposed development designated. S-0243, concerning the
estate of Maybelle Chapman.
Our home fronts on Hillcrest Place and a portion of the proposed plat abuts the back of
our property. We have lived at this location for 41 years. We have no objection to the
desire of the Chapman family to divide and sell their property, but we do have concerns
about its potential effect on the neighborhood and specifically on Hillcrest Place. We and
other neighbors have some questions we would like addressed, and we request that a
public hearing on the proposal be held.
Our own principal concerns include the amount of additional traffic that will use Hillcrest
Place and whether the City is planning an easement that would connect the Chapman
development with 88d' Street, thus creating a circular traffic flow. It is our understanding
that there are some errors on the diagram of the proposed plan which indicate the
presence of power pedestals and water mains where they do not in fact exist. There are
drainage problems on properties at the top of the hi 11 and we fear that the removal of a
significant number of large trees on this property would exacerbate this.
We also understand that the City may wish in the near future to enlarge the water mains
on Hilicrest Place and perhaps resurface that street installing new curbs, gutters, and
catch basins. We would like to know what those plans might be and how the costs would
be borne. Will there be additional expenses for property owners fronting on Hillcrest at
that time? It is our understanding that when Maybelle Chapman wished to develop her
property a decade ago, she was told that the developer would have to take care ofsuch
matters, and we would prefer that that be the case at this time as well.
0 0
These are among the concerns that we have. Please notify us in writing of any action that
is taken and of a possible hearing on the proposal.
Thank you for giving these concerns your attention.
Sincerely,
Charles P. LeWarne

There are several issues and concemis Mich we feel have not been addressed related to the Notice of
Development Application & Decision, dated April 4, 2002, File #S-2002-43. We have also made calls
into the City to try to have questions anw&yed, but have riot received calls back. Therefore we are
respectfully requesting a public hearing to address these issues,
Our concerns include, but are riot limited to the following:
Safety
• Children play on Hillcrest Race with bikes, skateboards etc. The lowvolume of traffic is well suited
to allawfor their safety.
• Speed bumps would need to be installed to ensure children's safety at low speeds.
• This is a residential dead end street, increased traffic flow Yould diminish the. character of the
neighborhood and value of the e)dsUng homes.
Traffic
• VMll speed bumps or other speed control mechanisms be put in place?
• Concern over increased traffic looking for access to 88th Avenue or Shell Park
Noise
Mitigation for the noise impact from development needs to be developed and a plan needs to be
communicated.
How will the demolition and debris removal of the current residence be handled? How will noise,
dust, dirt be contained as to riot impact adjacent lots, Le.: asbestos and other potentially
hazardous materials? We assume the cunent and most strict lam regarding the handling of these
materials Wll be follaAed as put forth by statute.
0 How will construction noise be mitigated?
Imawements & Repairs
Maintenance of riot only the new street assess for the 4 lot subdivision, but also the maintenance
of the access road along this property needs to be confirmed and documented. Increased traffic is
anticipated to cause additional maintenance needs.
0 Page 2 April 14, 2002
• WII the increased traffic cause additional repairs and upgrades to Hillcrest Race? Who will bear
the cost? Will it be in theforTn of a LID and hawwill allocation, if any, be determined.?
• Will the street be widened? Will curbs, gutters, catch basins be installed?
• Will sewer, vwAer and other utilities be hooked up in such a way to riot negatively impact
neighboring home usage or aesthetics?
• VVIII improvement fees (inducing LID fees) be paid prior to constnxbon?
• A plan for cunwrt and future imprwements as a result of increased use needs to be established
and agreed to.
• What assurances to e)dsbng homeowners will be in place to assure demolition damage does not
occur? Is there a claims process?
Effors on Short Plat Sury
We are ooricemed about the number of emis cuffently showing on the short plat application. The
mm include, but may not be limited to; the ownership of 21P1 1 Hillcrest Place is incon*ect; there
are power peds showing on the drawing Mich do not qqst, theV%48ter main showing on the
drawing does riot e)dst, the drawing does riot show the road improvements to the city street or the
easement.
Water Use
It is our understanding that there is only a 44nch water pipe serving Hillcrest. Can an additional 4
homes be supported? What will the impact to cunvnt residents be? Who will be responsible for
any necessary upgrades?
Drainane & VVInd Damaae
0
• Hillcrest Place is very near Yost Park and as such has a number of environmental ooncems.
• This area is very wet. Our own residence has had water drainage issues and continually has "wer
spats in the yard. What will the impact of tree and ground cover removal be on an already
sensitive area?
• \AAII removal of tees on the sub -division cause added wind damage to neighboring residences?
• VMII there be a storm water fie in to a city drain system?
• Increased water run off is a concem.
Easements
Any easement from 8EP Avenue should only be for utilities to protect the Dead End status and low
traffic volumes of Hillcrest Race.
What will happen to the overhead power and phone lines cunently on the street.? If they need to
be moved to underground, who will bear the cost? Are there adequate pow transformers to
cover the development and riot negatively impact the neighbodmod?
Phone lines are barely oavefing the cuffent load; What is the impact of the neighborhood
development on the phone quality and service?
0 Page 3
April 14,2002
• The easements in place are over private property for private use only. What is meant by easement
for a "Publid' v%fter line as show in the drawings?
• VVIII changes to easements be communicated?. VVIII a hearing or notice period occur if there are
any proposed changes?
• What are the planned setbacks? VVIII they be allowed to ch;3nge? VMII there be notification and
opportunity for hearing if there are changes?
Written Plan of Resolutions
• What type of aesthetics and visual landscaping will be done to minimize impact to neighbors?
• What is the timing of this project?
• Is there a time limit that the construction must be completed within to minimize impact to
neighbors? There should be a sunset clause at Mich point the shortplat becomes null and void if
conditions are riot met within a specific period of time.
A commitment for mitigation and solving the many issues listed needs to be completed and
provided to impacted homeowners along 6e Avenue and Hillcrest Place.
We respectfully request resolution of the outstanding oonoems listed above. As previously noted, we
request a public hearing to address these issues.

Short Plat Concerns
Utilities easement to 8 81h Ave. W purchased and recorded — what is to prevent
change to an alternate plan after approval without opportunity for public
comment.
Utilities easement to 88h Ave. W — gate or provisions to prevent
pedestrian/vehicle traffic between 88 1h and Hillcrest through private driveways
is needed.
Noise along new road on subject property and access road — inadequate
setback from adjacent residences and lack of provisions for noise barriers.
Lighting along new roadways — security and safety concerns.
Underground power — location of transformers & pedestals, relocation of
existing overhead and underground lines serving adjacent residences,
relocation/hookup costs for adjacent homeowners, lack of coordinated long-
term plan for entire street.
Speed control on new road on subject property & existing access roadway
across 20909.
Traffic on private roads beyond end of city street — cars looking for access to
Shell Park, or 881h as well as drivers not recognizing end of street and
continuing beyond in search of turnaround point.
Aesthetics and lack of visual landscape screening of adjacent backyards from
new road.
Repairs/repaving needed on Hillcrest to accommodate construction vehicle
traffic and increased vehicle usage when new residences are built — who will
pay for this? City? LID? Existing homeowners?
Catch basins along Hillcrest and storm sewer connection at Main Street —
needs to be done to protect road/prevent runoff before Hillcrest Place is
subjected to increased traffic or heavy construction equipment usage. When
will this be done? How much will it cost? How will it be paid for?
Curbs and gutters along Hillcrest Place — will the city provide thickened
asphalt edges during repaving or will vertical curbs be required. If vertical

I am responding to a Notice of Development Application & Decision, dated April 4, 2002,
File #S-2002-43. As a resident on Hillcrest Place, I have met with some of my neighbors and
have several concerns about the proposed development of a 4-lot subdivision on our street. I
moved here from Florida just a little over a year ago, and chose Edmonds and my particular
street and house because of its quiet, trees, lack of traffic and being a dead end street. I have
grave concerns that the proposed development well may change all of that.
Nevertheless, assuming that the development will probably go through, I have specific concerns
related to that. I am attaching a separate sheet outlining these concerns. Some can easily be
addressed satisfactorily. Others could conceivably remain in a "gray area" as far as assuring us
in specific terms how they will exactly be handled. Obviously, many of the items will require
substantial monetary costs, and I would like to know how these costs will be assessed, i.e. who is
going to pay for road/sewer improvements. Unfortunately, whenever a development -takes place,
trees are removed and one of the beauties of our neighborhood is the great number of very old
trees. They not only are of aesthetic value, but greatly affect drainage and wind damage.
This is a close-knit street with many children who feel safe playing in their neighborhood.
Obviously, four new houses would mean probably at least 8 additional cars and a substantial
increase in traffic. It is of prime importance to me and my neighbors that this not become a
through street, connecting to 88th Place.
I respectfully request that a Public Hearing be held so that our concerns may be aired and
satisfactorily addressed. I would also appreciate being notified in writing what action is to be
taken in regards to these concerns.
Sincerely yours,
JAaxew C�1. wa�r��

I am responding to a Notice of Development related to the file number (S-20 243). 1
am a resident on Hillcrest Place. Even thought my home is on the cof ill
Frest alid
Main I have some concerns-. 'I have met with some of my neighbors and have gone
over some of the concerns they have to the proposed development of a 4-lot
subdivision on our street. I have been living here for 27 years. Children have alway:
played on this quiet street. We, the neighbors have always been very closely united
and law abiding people. We all are concerned for a healthy, safe, and quiet -
environment. It is also a pathway for many wild animals that venture up from the
ecology park. We have raccoons, squirrels, quail, possums, and many different kinch,
of birds. I would not want to see them run over by on going traffic not familiar with
this area. It would not be in my interest if I were to have to pay higher taxes, etc.,
because someone sold their property for a comfortable profit. This has always been a
very private, quiet road which enhances the sale of my property smice I already am o,l
a main street. I am in agreement with the attached concerns my neighbors have.
There has been a request for a Public Hearing to be held in regards to these conceni,
listed and many more concerns not yet spoken of I would like to support this requ( st.
Sincerely,
