Yeriel ROW paving 5-26-11.pdfMay 26, 2011 CITY OF EDMONDS 121 5th AVENUE NORTH • EDMONDS, WA 98020 • (425) 771-0220 • FAX (425) 771-0221 Website: www dedmonds.wa.us DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT Yeriel LLC 22325 76" Ave. W Edmonds, WA. 98026 Case: # COD2011-0062 Subject property: 22325 76"' Ave. W., Edmonds, WA. 98026 Dear Yeriel LLC., MIKE COOPER MAYOR The Order to Correct (enclosed) for paving the right-of-way (ROW) without a ROW construction permit was issued on April 13, 2011 and expired on May 2, 2011. At this point in the enforcement process, the City is obligated to issue fines of $100.00 per day that the violation exists. The City is hesitant to use the Notice of Violation fines in situations where a simple "after the fact" permit is required. The reasoning being that the City presumes that it makes more sense to allocate any funds toward violation corrections instead of adding costs to those corrections. In the majority of cases when a property owner is advised of a required permit, the property owner will choose the opportunity to comply rather than spend additional time and money in the enforcement process. In some cases, property owners will ignore City requests or simply not communicate. In these cases the City has no other option but to continue the standard enforcement process - 1) request, 2) Order to Correct, 3) Notice of Violation and fines. In these cases property owners find they owe hundreds, and in some cases, thousands of dollars in fines. Please be advised that once the Notice of Violation fines are issued I can not withdraw them and they are in effect until the violation is corrected. Accordingly, unless a complete ROW construction permit application is received by June 10, 2011, the City would be obligated to issue a Notice of Violation and the property owner will accumulate fines of $100 per day until the property is in compliance. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. Sincerely, Mike Thies Code Enforcement Inspector thies@ci.edmonds,wa.us C, Rob English, City Engineer Incorporated August 11, 1890 .qi,zfPr (.itc, - Hpkinnn ,lnnnn
