Dear Mr. Hahn:

RE: File #S-15-89
1408 Eighth Avenue S.
Please find a formal objection to granting a right of way construction permit to the
Paige Subdivision at 1408 Eighth Avenue S.
As of January 29, 1990, I became the owner of 809 14th Street S.W. I was unaware of
the subdivision plan until January 31, 1990, when I was contacted by P.U.D. about cutting
a large, healthy fir that is in a wind break cluster, and is either partially or
completely on my land. I was also suddenly told that high tension lines would be moved
three feet closer to my home. Ch. 15.25.010 (D) (10) states, "Undergrounding of
utilities should be explored and encouraged at the time of extensive street
improvements."
More evidence is emerging as to dangers of high tension wires to the health of those
constantly exposed. Cancer and danger during pregnancy are some possible effects. There
is a serious health issue here. The intent of the comprehensive plan in accordance with
State and Federal Regulations and court cases is clear-- Improvements are to benefit the
health and safety of residents.
The above serious impacts on my property are not shown in the preliminary plat
drawing and I query whether they were brought up at the hearing.
Secondly, a "greenbelt," consisting of eleven (11) trees with diameters of 9" to 14",
plus ivy, shrubs, and other oxygen -giving, pollution -absorbing vegetation is to be
completely destroyed due to widening of the street.
According to Chapter 15.25 this excessive widening could be considered an "over
improvement" in violation of expressed concern of citizens and intent of the Goals of the
Plan. Furthermore, it will encourage increased through traffic from Ninth Avenue to
Eighth Avenue.
"The right of all Edmonds residents to a high quality residential living environment
must not be sacrificed to accomodate street and highway expansion." Ch. 15.25B (2).
The excessive widening will have an adverse impact by stripping the corner of 14th
Street S.W. and Eighth Avenue N. of natural vegetation, disrupting an established
residential neighborhood which consist of six homes at this time, increasing impermeable
surfaces and raising questions of increased noise, traffic density, erosion and air
pollution from auto fumes with no balancing vegetation to absorb the toxic gases and
provide oxygen.
Mr. Peter Hahn
Page 2
I believe my property is adversely effected by this subdivision, and accordingly
request a Stop Work Order, and a serious exploration of alternatives to destroying eleven
trees (14th Street S.W.), plus two trees (8th Avenue) which equals thirteen healthy
trees.
Furthermore, there are aesthetic, visual privacy and economic consequences to my
property. I bought a new house for $210,950, plus closing costs on a corner lot of a
quiet street with lovely greenery facing the front on 14th Street S.W. Upon destruction
of the eleven trees and natural vegetation, my view will be asphalt, telephone wires, an
unpainted oversized garage, a camper, an older, small house, and all the traffic on
Eighth Avenue.
I was thrilled with the unique village aspect of Edmonds, and the apparent stability
of a small population --seemingly unlike the unbridled growth of Bellevue and Kirkland.
It is so unique that I paid a higher value than the neighborhood warranted (the house
appraised at $205,000) to be within walking distance of the waterfront (1.7 miles), and
because of the visual privacy of the lot. I believe the property will lose $10,000 to
$20,000 in value. Any action taken will create damages economically and to the health
and safety of occupants of the house at 809-14th Street S.W. and residents on 14th Street
S.W.
I expressly deny any permission to the city to take down the fir tree.;:, I clearly
have a substantial concern and a demonstrable interest. Given such adverse impact on my
property, I request notification in writing and notification of any impending action.
Shouldn't all private property owners' health, safety, aesthetic values, privacy, and
economic concerns be balanced equally when such a subdivision is solely for private gain,
adds density to traffic and population, and serves a questionable public service? "The
beauty of the natural growth provides pleasing vistas and helps to buffer one development
from another." Ch. 15.15.020A.
If the Goals and Intent of the Comprehensive Plan are ignored and there is unjust
enrichment to some citizens with health, safety, and quality of life detriments to
others, there is an unfair balance. The result will be a California shore town like
Santa Monica with apartments, condos, and homes sprawling over every square foot and
polluted air. I moved to the Pacific Northwest to escape the greed and overdevelopment
in the Northeast where I have seen lovely, historic communities become "Anywhere
America" --nondescript, having lost all character and sense of identity. Every decision
made by city officials impacts on the future quality of life in Edmonds, and every tree
cut adds to air pollution.
Please consider the following:
(1) Widening 14th Street S.W. only 24 feet to save eleven trees.
(2) Putting utility lines on 8th Avenue underground to save two more trees and
protect the health of the present and future occupants of 809 14th Street S.W.
Sincerely yours,
Rita F. Miller
