Notice of Application Comment (received by email on July 28, 2014):
Hello,
Thank you for this opportunity to address my concerns regarding the proposed construction of eight
town homes at the west side of 51st Ave. S. between Hazel St. and S. Fountain St. in Tukwila.
I live across the street from the proposed town homes. Of most concern is the existing condition of the
road on which all the trucks carrying heavy equipment will be traveling back and forth on 51st Ave S.
The concrete slabs on the road are buckling and cannot support the extra weight. The vibration of the
rattling slabs caused chunks of my chimney to fall off. Also, Metro discontinued its articulated bus
service along the top of 51st Ave. S. because of the weight's damage on the road. Will Abbey Road
Group Land Development Services Company be a good corporate citizen willing to repair the road
damage done by all the construction trucks going back and forth?
My other concern which I'm sure is shared by my neighbors is how tall the construction will be. We
don't want the town homes' occupants to be able to peer into our backyards. There was no mention of
the height of the town homes in the Notice of Application we received.
I urge you to do the necessary due diligence regarding the above points before the actual construction
takes place.
Thank you,
Kevin Fleming
