RE: Sight Distance at Olympic Avenue and Daley Place
Dear Mr. Anderson,
Our records indicate that you are the owner of the subject property at 516 Olympic Avenue. We
have received a complaint that a portion of the tree on your property at the comer of Olympic
Avenue and Daley Place is making it difficult to see southbound traffic on Olympic Avenue.
City of Edmonds staff has investigated the matter and determined the tree 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 is requesting that
you trim the tree back directly behind the "25 mph" sign, to provide clear sight distance for .
driver and pedestrian public as described in ECDC 9.25. The tree should be trimmed back to the
edge of the street right-of-way. At a minimum, we would like the tree trimmed three feet behind
the "25 mph" sign and to a height that matches the top of the sign.
Please complete the trimming by August 10, 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 fi7ee to call me
with any questions at 425-771-0220, Ext. 1329.
Sincerely,
DARRELL C. SMITH
