Mr. & Mrs. Barton N. Evans 1710 28th Street Anacortes,WA 98221 Upnorth26@comcast.net Mr. Gary Barnett Assistant City Engineer City of Ancortes P.O. Box 547 Anacortes, WA 98221 Dear Mr. Barnett: Subject: 28th Street Improvement and ROW Acquisition Thank you for the time you have spent listening to our concerns about the planned extension of 28th Street. As you know, we support the extension and improvement of this street. In working with you, our emphasis has been on a safe street for pedestrians and to manage vehicle speeds through our neighborhood, while minimizing the effects of a new road on all the adjacent residents. The City has agreed with us on the following road design items,which are schematically shown on the attached drawing dated 7.23.03. • Keep the road narrow by placing sidewalk and curbs together. • Create a three-way stop at the H Avenue and new 28th Street intersection. • Shift the road south adjacent to our parcel to emphasize the curve in the road to reduce downhill speeds. • Install a stop or yield sign at the cul-de-sac. • Install a raised island of striped asphalt or standard raised concrete driveway across the entrance to slow down traffic to the multifamily development in the cul de sac. • Reduce the width of the roadway to create a"traffic choker" effect across the front of 1710 and 1718 28th Street. Total width of street, curbs and sidewalk shall be no more than 33 feet. This will help manage vehicle speed. In consideration for our grant of 20 feet of property across the south portion of our two lots (and a 30 foot by 3 foot triangle across the southeast part of 1710 as needed) the City will: • Prepare, approve, and record a new property short plat of 1718 28th Street to create a new 90-foot by 134-foot lot on the western portion of the property. Stake all property corners in the field.
