RE: Tree Obstruction on 234 1h Street SW
Dear Mr. Amdemichael,
Our records indicate that you are the owner of the subject property at 23420-96h Avenue West.
We have received a complaint that a portion of the cedar tree located on your property along
234 th Street SW is making it difficult to see along and pedestrians to move about along
234 1h Street SW. City of Edmonds staff has investigated the matter and determined that the tree
in question does, in fact, create a sight distance and pedestrian 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 is requesting that
you trim the tree back five feet behind the edge of pavement. Please complete the trimming by
August 16, 2001. If you are unable to complete the trimming by this date, City crews will
complete the trimming, and you may be charged for the cost of trimming and debris removal in
accordance with ECDC 9.25.
Your cooperation in bringing the tree into compliance is appreciated. Please feel free to call me
with any questions at 425-771-0220, Ext. 1328.
Sincerely,
DARRELL C. SMITH, P.E.
