additional info for Issue ID: 12164843. this is another tree that was taken down mid-Feb. '22 with the newly cut trees in background.

Is this even legal? We live on Mandus Olson Rd off New Brooklyn and a neighbor (Evergreen Acres) at 8929 Mandus Olson rd NE has been hosting events at their property lately. Many cars (close to 40 or 50) were parked on the street this weekend, on both sides of the road, obstructing traffic and limiting passage to a single lane.
Additionally we’ve heard that they are planning more events on a regular basis. Their website indicates that they may be planning to develop an event center of some sort.
Can someone please check into this to alleviate this problem if possible. Or steer us to somebody who can
Thank you

Clear cutting for “the view”: Clear cutting and destruction of trees and vegetation of critical bank area within 200 feet of water on shoreline property. Clear cut native trees, destroyed the natural ecological systems on the bank. Cut down established trees- Western Hemlock, Pacific Ninebark, and Big Leaf marble trees that were approx 30 feet tall (or more) were observed to be removed. They left the logs on the bank in areas susceptible to land slides, in addition to the destruction of the natural ecosystem. Displaced animals (river otters, deer, raccoons, etc), confirmed by West Sound Wildlife Shelter (involved because displaced river otters came into residential area after the clear cutting).
Violation of Section 16.12.030.B.3 – Vegetation Management of the Bainbridge Island Municipal Code.

New neighbors on corner of Taylor and Ronald have erected a fence within public right-of-way on south side of Ronald Ct. and possibly on Taylor Ave as well. Also looks like they have been filling in drainage swale on south side of property. Area is very wet for 9 months of the year and this could cause hydrologic/flooding problems for their house as well as nearby homes.

The dog barks at all hours of the day and night. We, along with a number of our neighbors on the west side of Manzanita Bay, have filled out barking logs and have mailed them to Animal Control. The dog can even be heard all the way on the west side of Battle Point Park.
We were told by BIPD to report this issue by calling 911. We did and animal control was notified of the issue. Animal Control told us to contact our City Councilmember even after a number of the homeowners in our neighborhood have mailed in the required backing logs. On a separate occasion, we spoke to a BIPD officer at Battle Point Park. He informed us to make contact with the owner.
