Subject:RE: property at 1400 Eberdeen Ave. NE
Hi Brenda,
Thank you for reaching out to provide comments on proposed project at 1400 Aberdeen Ave NE. I can sympathize with
you with regards to the rodent problem, as I’ve dealt with rodent problems in and around my own home, which was an
extremely frustrating situation. While we don’t have any specific measures that we require for rodent control when a
building it demolished, we can certainly ask the applicant to pay special attention to any rodent issues that crop up on
the site. I’d urge you to reach out to me directly with any issues that come up once the building demolition begins.
With regards to the hedge removal, we typically only require trimming or removal if we get complaints from a neighbor
or if the height is causing a safety issue. At this time, the new owner of the 1400 Aberdeen Ave NE site has not proposed
removing the trees at the rear of the site near your property. We encourage the retention of trees during development
in order to ensure some mature trees remain on the site after construction is complete. Any branches that extend onto
your property can be trimmed at any time.
If you have any other questions or concerns with regard to this property, please feel free to reach out to me at any time.
Thank you,

Subject: re: property at 1400 Eberdeen Ave. NE
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

Hi Michelle,
Thank you for your comments. I have added you as a party of record for the Vaughn Short Plat (LUA21-000136).
Assuming that the fence is part of the site, it would be removed as a part of the demolition. The applicant has proposed
a 10’ wide landscape buffer along the north property line which should provide a significant amount of screening. I do
not see a new fence shown on the plans, but it’s typical for developers to install a 6 foot privacy fence on the rear
property lines of new subdivisions, so I would expect the same in this case.
If you have other questions or concerns, please feel free to reach to me at any time.
Thank you,

Hello Alex,
We had a question regarding the plans for this project. We live on the north side and wondered if the old chain link
fence will be replaced with something that will provide more privacy between us and the new neighbors we will have.
Please add us as an interested party to this project.
Thank you,
