RE: PLN -2010-0060
Dear Mr. Clugston:
DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
We live at 557 Paradise Lane, across the street and about one half block down from 620
Edmonds Way. This property is within view from our house, in fact the empty lot just
west of the bank property has trees that help buffer and separate this business property
and SRI 04 from our single family neighborhood.
We have concerns with the request being made for several reasons. We are concerned
that moving the bank building closer to the single family neighborhood could be
detrimental to property values with a business more visible from our homes. I was told
that the building would no longer be one story but would have a partial second story thus
making it more visible. Another concern is removal of trees on this property or the
vacant property next to the bank—I believe it is owned by the bank. The trees buffer the
single family neighborhood from the business and also from the noise and view of SRI 04.
Again, removal of trees could potentially lower single family property values since the
highway could be viewed and more noise heard.
We appreciate the opportunity to voice our concerns.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
4'irAj
