Dear Mr. Freeman,
The City received a complaint regarding junk vehicles outside at the subject property. You may not have
been aware of City regulations regarding junk vehicles and nuisance items.
The subject property was inspected on August 17, 2006. At that time there were three junk vehicles at the
property. The Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) addresses junk vehicles and nuisances as
follows:
“Junk vehicles” are defined in ECDC 20.110.20.C as a vehicle meeting any two of the following
requirements: (bold added)
1. Is three years or older;
2. Is extensively damaged, such damage including but not limited to any of the following: a broken
or missing window or windshield or missing wheels, tires, motor, drive train, brakes or transmission;
3. Is apparently inoperable;
4. Is without valid current registration plates;
5. Has a fair market value equal to the value of the scrap in it.
Corrective action required:
Please contact me at your earliest convenience by August 30, 2006 to advise your compliance
schedule.
Please enclose in a building or remove the junk vehicles or demonstrate that the vehicles are
currently licensed and operable by September 10, 2006. Please note that a tarp is not considered
enclosed.
At your convenience and request, I can meet you at the subject property to review the violations. If you
have any questions or need any information please call me at 425-771-0220 x1716. Thank you in advance
for your cooperation and assistance.
Sincerely,
Mike Thies
Code Enforcement Inspector
