Mr. Morganroth: My name is Brenda Wirick, I live at 1337 Blaine Ave. NE. My property doesn't directly back up to your listed property but I am concerned about the demolition of said
property.
No one let us know when the low income housing was torn down up on Sunset and our properties in my neighborhood as well as friends living south of the housing area were greatly impacted
by rodents. It has cost me thousands of dollars in damage and now I am faced with two barns and a house being torn down on the Aberdeen property.
Is there any way to prevent the same thing happening again. I am nearly 80 on a very fixed income and I can't afford to attack the situation again. I have grandchildren with pets that
I used to "babysit" for and I have told them because of the rat issue and 4 (at least) huge raccoons living in the row of trees to my north I won't take care of their pets. The row
of "trees" to my north was addressed by a City of Renton employee a few years ago and she said they are trees so they can remain as long as the owners want them to. However, the gentleman
behind me-next to the Aberdeen listed property, was told he had to cut down his hedge to a 6 ft. height within so many days following her order or he faced a $100.00 fine for every
week he didn't trim it down. You might want to take a look at this row of "trees" that have ruined the fence-not mine, that the trees have gone through. These trees were large enough
that the branches reached my house.
The property I am referring to was put on the market and the first day of showing, my family came over and completely cut off the side of the trees that were over hanging my property.
I spoke with the owner-off shore owner-and he said he wouldn't be doing anything with the trees. That property is a mess today.
How does one protect his property when those around him do not? Renton is very lacking in doing a good job of encouraging new buyers to town if messes are allowed to remain.
I am hoping you will look into some answers to my situation.
Thank you,
Brenda Wirick
