LANDSCAPING PLAN FOR 23329 HIGHWAY 99
Dear Mr. Tate:
Thank you for submitting the required landscaping plan for the non -permitted grading work that
had been done at your site last summer. The plan looks excellent and I think the landscaping
will be an attractive addition to the site. That said, I do have a concern about the northeastern
corner of the site where your northerly neighbor has used a portion of your parcel for access.
As it is, the plan shows landscaping all the way along the northern parcel boundary and does not
indicate that a portion: of it will be used as access. I was under the impression that your neighbor
had to use a portion of your parcel to get to the rear of his. If I am incorrect, please let me know.
However, if your neighbor will continue to use your parcel for access, please have an easement
produced describing what you are allowing the owner of the northern parcel to do on your parcel
and indicate the extent of the access on the landscaping plan. Include the County's easement
filing number on the landscaping plan. If access across your parcel is still needed, it is OK that
the proposed landscaping does not extend all the way along your northern property line. Just
indicate where the access will be, whether it will be paved or otherwise, and the extent of the
landscaping adjacent to the access.
The only other thing I will need to approve your plan is a cost estimate for the materials and
labor in order to determine the appropriate landscaping bond amount.
Please respond by Thursday June 25 in order that we can keep this process moving forward.
Please make all submittals to a Development Services Permit Coordinator, Monday through
Friday, 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. If you have any questions, please contact me at (425) 771-0220.
Sincerely,
Mike Clugston, AICP
