Subject: LANDSCAPING MAINTENANCE BOND - FILE 4 BLD20100262
AUTOMOBILE INC. / DNA AUTO SALES INC., LOCATED AT 21210 HIGHWAY 99
To Whom It May Concern:
The building permit referenced above was for the change of use of the site at 21210 Highway 99 to an
automobile sales office in 2010. With that permit was a two-year bond for landscaping maintenance in
the amount of $687.54, which was posted on July 9, 2010. The bond is at expiration and requires that the
current landscaping at the site matches what was originally approved and installed.
Based on an inspection performed on July 30, 2012, it was noted that while some of the installed plants
appeared to be reasonably healthy, some were not and it looked like there bad not been any weeding or
maintenance done in most of the planting beds for some time. Refer to the approved landscape plan
(attached) for documentation of the approved landscaping within the landscape beds surrounding the
perimeter of the site as well as the landscape beds directly adjacent to the building.
In order to release the bond, maintenance of all of the planting beds on the site (including those adjacent
to the building and those around the perimeter of the site) must be performed. This maintenance work
must include weeding as well as replacement of any of the trees, shrubs, and groundcover designated in
the landscape plan that have not survived over the past two years. All required replanting must be of the
species and minimum size and spacing designated in the landscape plan.
Once the maintenance work and replanting of any necessary plants is performed, please contact me for
another inspection. If during the inspection, the appearance of the landscaping is found to match the
approved landscape plan, the $687.54 bond can be released.
Please perform the requested maintenance work and replanting, and contact me to schedule a
follow-up inspection by August 21, 2012. If you have any .questions, or to schedule the follow-up
inspection, please contact me at (425) 771-0220 or via email at machuga@ci.edmonds.wa.us.
