Regarding extending Pasco Ave NE: By connecting Pasco AVE NE
to Cypress Lane you are providing car access to a road that was
designed to service only 5 properties to 15 new homes (for a total of
20 properties.) Pasco Ave NE is little more than a driveway. Two cars
cannot pass each other on the road as it currently exists (it's only wide
enough for one car.) Even if widened to its full potential, it is
unusually narrow. In addition, I was told many years ago that it was
too narrow for the county to maintain as a road (I had the road put in
when I built my house in 2006 when it was not part of the city of
Renton and have been maintaining it.) It is unfair to put that new
traffic on a road designed to service only 5 properties and maintained
by homeowners. I understand the plan is to connect the road for two
reasons. Below are the two reasons and my suggested alternatives: 1.)
Extending Pasco Ave NE makes it more convenient for the last two
properties on Pasco Ave NE that are currently undeveloped to get
utilities. I would like to propose two options: a. A fire truck gate be
installed at the current end point of Pasco Ave NE to prevent any new
traffic burden on Pasco Ave NE. b. Since the 4 properties between
Pasco Ave NE and Orcas are owned by one person, easements could
be established to connect the last 2 properties to utilities on Orcas. 2.)
Extending Pasco Ave NE allows the last two properties to support a
fire truck turnaround. I would like to propose three options: a. Install
a fire truck gate be at the current end point of Pasco Ave NE to
prevent any new traffic burden on Pasco Ave NE. b. Require the new
properties to install fire sprinklers in their homes as I was required to
do in my home c. Require the new properties to orient their home to
allow a fire truck to do a 3 point turn as the first house on Pasco Ave
NE has done I would like to also add that by extending Pasco Ave
NE, you’re creating more impervious services and eliminating the
opportunity to plant or maintain vegetation/trees in that stretch of
land. Thank you for allowing me to provide feedback.
