RE: STEINMANS MEADOWDALE ESTATES (6880 172 St SW)
RELEASE OF LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE BOND
Dear Mr. Steinman,
It is time for the landscape maintenance bond for Steinmans Meadowdale Estates to be
released. Today I visited the site to verify that the overall landscaping improvements
have been maintained. As the planner who originally processed the subdivision
application, it was exciting for me to see the site developed. It looks so nice, and the
homes are beautiful. Mr. Merle Steinman would be so pleased.
The landscape bond amount is for $3,000. In order for the City to release the bond, a few
improvements need to be made. Please refer to the list below:
1.Seating Area. At the north end of the subdivision, the landscape plan specifies a
seating area with benches, just north of Lot 5. Please install 1 to 2 benches.
2.Swings. At the north end of the subdivision, just north of Lot 6, the plan shows a
platform with swings. The platform has been installed, but there is no equipment
on the platform. If you think something other than swings would be more
appropriate for the location, please let me know what you would prefer to put in
its place.
3.Trail in NW Corner. The trail within the northwest corner of the subdivision is
somewhat overgrown. Please cut back the vegetation as needed.
4.Community Gardens. At the time of inspection the community gardens appeared
to be somewhat overgrown with weeds. It is unlikely that any plants will need to
be replaced; just some minor maintenance to the area would be appreciated.
Once you have made the changes, please contact me, so that the bond can be released. I
can be reached at 425.771.0220 ext. 1330 or via e-mail at ktaylor@ci.edmonds.wa.us. I
work a part-time schedule, and am typically in the office Mondays, Wednesdays, and
every other Friday. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Kathleen Taylor
Associate Planner
