Dear Mr. Harris, <br />I'm sending this in regards to a request by several neighbors <br />that want to have some trees removed from Dover Street. <br />My name is Norman Oss and I have lived at 4630 Darlington <br />Lane since 1977. My house is at the Northwest corner of Bailey <br />and Darlington. I back out of my driveway onto Darlington and go <br />down the hill to Dull where I turn right and go to Dover. I turn left <br />on Dover to enter Mukilteo Boulevard. I use this route as it is far <br />safer than the intersection of Bailey and Greeley where I have had <br />several close calls with speeding traffic going North on Greeley. <br />Over the years I have witnessed the growth and <br />encroachment of the mentioned trees into Dover Street. Many <br />times I have had to stop and back up to let a school bus proceed up <br />Dover as the trees have made the road so narrow at that point that <br />we can not pass without the school bus running through the <br />branches of the trees. <br />I have seen the litter of branches on Dover after a strong <br />wind storm and some of them have been too large in diameter to <br />drive over with my car. However, it doesn't take a strong storm; <br />just a high wind will cause branches to fall. During times of high <br />wind or strong storms I avoid Dover as I fear for my safety from <br />falling limbs. <br />I feel that it is only a matter of time until a large section of <br />one of those trees breaks off and crushes a school bus or goes <br />through the roof of the house at 1722 W. Mukilteo Boulevard. I'm <br />surprised that it hasn't happened alread�. <br />,, . <br />� ,,� . <br />Norman Oss <br />
