Subject: RE: Routine trimming of two dogwood trees at 530 Homeland Drive
Hi Katherine,
You state in your email that the proposed work is considered routine landscape maintenance
and is exempt from tree cutting permit requirements pursuant to ECDC 18.45.030.C, as you
will be reducing the crowns of the two trees only to the level that they were reduced to
three years ago. Although the work is exempt from permit requirements, the City cannot
authorize work on another owner's property and you will need to make sure you receive any
necessary permission from the property owner of 530 Homeland Drive.
Thank you,
Jen

Subject: Routine trimming of two dogwood trees at 530 Homeland Drive
Dear Ms. Machuga,
We quote from the letter received from Ms. Tamara Khashen, absentee owner of 530 Homeland
Drive:
"This letter is in response to your request to trim down two dogwood trees in the backyard
of our property in Edmonds, so as not to obstruct your view on your property...
We have no objection to having the two trees trimmed as long as we we are not in
violation of any city codes or ordinances restricting the cutting of trees on this
property...
It should be understood that we are speaking of croppng the tops of the two trees and
under no circumstances should the trees be removed or any surrounding vegetation be
disturbed."
As you suggested, we have affirmed with our landscape maintenance service, Gold Leaf
Landscaping, Inc. which has many customers in Edmonds, and is knowledgeable about current
Edmonds property codes, that cropping overgrown tops of the trees back down to where
they were trimmed three years ago is simply overdo routine landscape maintenance, and is
an exemption to tree cutting restrictions as specified by City Code 18.45.030C "routine
landscape and garden maintenance".
Thank you for clarifying that trimming these trees to their previous trimmed height is in
compliance with current city codes. We appreciate your diligence on behalf of us and our
neighbors whose western views have been impacted by unmaintained tree heights.
Please confirm that this information has been received.
With appreciation,

Subject: Property owner's permission re tree cropping on 530 Homeland Drive
Hello Jen,
Thanks for your email response. I inadvertently omitted the date November 1, 2009 from
the property owner's letter quoted in the first paragraph of my email. We do have the
property owner's permission to crop the two dogwoods as long as it complies with Edmonds
city codes, which it does as routine landscape maintenance. Thanks again for clarifying
city code re this routine activity.
With appreciation, Katherine T. Hood

Dear Resident:
LARRY S. NAUGHTEN
MAYOR
PETER E. HAHN
DIRECTOR
The City of Edmonds is currently engaging in a program to improve its
wastewater treatment system. One of the major parts of the program is
reducing the volume of flow into our treatment plant. A major item
contributing to this problem is the infiltration of stormwater runoff
from roofs, drains, etc. into our sanitary sewers.
A series of tests were completed by an independent engineering firm.
They pumped smoke into sewer lines and recorded where it was escaping,
thereby locating the stormwater infiltration sources.
Your property has been identified as having a roof drain connected to
the sewer and the City requires, per the Community Development Code,
Chapter 18.10, Section 18.10.030, that this problem be corrected.
Please contact myse,lf or Everett Akau of our Water/Sewer Section by
July 24, 1987 to provide you with further information and to answer
your questions. Member of the staff will be glad to advise you as to
your best solution.
Your assistance in disconnecting this source is requested no later than
August 7, 1987.
Sincerely,
Archie Brena

Dear Sir:

The City of Edmonds is currently experiencing a serious storm
water problem. Our sewage wastewater treatment system is being
overtaxed by large volumes of storm water from roofs, drains,
driveways, and parking lots. If this water is not eliminated from
the system, the sewage treatment plant will require expansion. much
sooner than it otherwise would.
A series of tests were completed, identifying your property
as one of the infiltration sources. This storm water must be
removed from the sanitary sewer system as soon as possible. The
attached drawings indicate several solutions to this problem, one
of which should be applicable to your property.
The City has established this as a top priority project, and
your cooperation is urgently needed. Please contact Dan Smith or
Jerry Hauth at 771-3202 for assistance prior to installation of
your modified system.
Sincerely,
ADAMS, P.E.
City Engineer
