Case: # COD20190128Subject Property: 20019 81st W, Edmonds, WA. 98020
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Hosey,
The City received a complaint regarding nuisance items outside at the subject property. The subject property was inspected on October 21, 2019. At that time there was abandoned debris
and salvage stored in the yard.
The Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) addresses nuisance violations as follows (in part):
6.20.041 Aesthetic nuisances.
The following nuisances are aesthetic in nature and can negatively impact neighborhood property values and foster blight. The following actions and/or conditions shall be a public nuisance
when located in any front, side or rear yard or vacant lot:
A. Any junk, trash, or litter.
B. Salvage materials or lumber not neatly stacked.
C. Any broken, soiled or discarded furniture, household equipment or furnishings.
D. Any junk vehicle, vehicle parts or other articles of personal property which are stored, discarded or left in a state of partial construction or repair.
E. Any accumulation, stack or pile of building, landscaping or construction materials which are exposed to the elements or are in disarray and which are not directly associated with
a project on the premises for which a current building permit has been obtained; or, with respect to a project which does not require a permit, that is in progress or which is scheduled
to begin within 10 business days. Construction materials include but are not limited to metal, wood, wire, drywall, electrical components, and any supplies, equipment or other items
utilized for painting, landscaping, logging, roofing, masonry or plumbing.
F. Any shopping carts, except where such shopping carts are owned and/or utilized for their designated purpose upon the underlying premises.
G. Exceptions. The nuisances enumerated in subsections (A) through (D) of this section shall not apply to items or materials when:
1. Wholly enclosed within a building; or
2. Located in a rear yard and screened from adjacent properties and the public right-of-way by a five-foot opaque fence or by a vegetative barrier that is between five feet and eight
feet in height and provides a visual barrier equivalent to an opaque fence. Corner lots and flag lots which have no rear yard may establish a screening area which qualifies for this
exemption in a side yard. [Ord. 3741 § 1, 2009; Ord. 3720 § 4, 2008].
Corrective action required:
Please remove any debris and salvage from the yard by November 6, 2019.
