The property owner requesting this subdivision and new driveway purchased this lot knowing it was accessible via Nile Ave NE, not NE 6th which is part of an established neighborhood. It is not part of the Shamrock Heights neighborhood and our HOA is no longer allowing new homes into the association. The current owners began construction over year ago doing partial work only to leave unfinished messes behind. They have not taken care of their land and have already left our neighborhood with an unappealing entrance landscape. Their lack of yard maintenance has caused significant issues of drainage and rodents to the homes on Mt. Baker Ave NE that back up to the property. There is also an issue with the large retaining wall and how this will be maintained and secured for the current properties backing the proposed driveway and property. In addition, NE 6th St already has limited parking and issues with traffic cutting through the neighborhood along with excess speed. Adding another home access to our neighborhood streets will continue to add to this current issue. Shamrock Heights was designed as a green neighborhood and our HOA maintains common green spaces and parks. Opening the neighborhood streets invites non-HOA members to utilize our private facilities without responsibility to support the maintenance. It would be nice to see this current property owner step up and take responsibility for their current property to relieve the homes that are affected by their lack of maintenance. Adding another home and using our neighborhood streets to do so is not in the best interest of our community.
