RE: Sight Distance Obstruction on 98 1h Avenue West
Dear Mr. Sawyer:
GARY HAAKENSON
MAYOR
Our records indicate that you are the owner of the property at 22327-98 1h Avenue West. We
have received a complaint that the vegetation on the southwest comer of your property is making
it difficult for drivers on 98 th Avenue West to see to the east along 224th Street SW.
Specifically, the hedge is creating a sight distance problem. City of Edmonds staff has
investigated the matter and determined that the hedge in question does, in fact, create a sight
distance hazard per Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC), Street Obstructions,
Chapter 9.25 (copy enclosed).
In order to reduce the hazard and enhance' public safety, the City of Edmonds directs that you
remove or cut back the hedge two feet along its length on the side that faces 224'h Street SW.
This should create adequate sight lines for the users of the street to navigate the area more safely.
Please complete the modification and trimming by July 28, 2006. Your cooperation in bringing
your vegetation into compliance is appreciated. Please feel free to call me with any questions at
425-771-0220, Ext. 1328.
Sincerely,
Don Sims
Traffic Engineer
