Property owner proposes hillside excavation and street completion to gain highway access
Summary
Visitor Noah Coppess told the council he plans to excavate a hillside over the next 24 months to create space and proposed using the excess dirt to finish the street west of his property so he could access the highway from both sides; the council took no formal action at the Feb. 9 meeting.
Noah Coppess told the Stanwood City Council he plans to excavate a hillside on his property within the next 24 months "to have more space" and proposed using excess dirt from that excavation to finish the street west of the property so he could gain access to the highway from both sides.
Coppess presented the concept to the council during the visitor portion of the meeting but the transcript records no motion, formal proposal review or council direction at this meeting. The item was recorded as a public comment and will require follow up if the owner pursues engineering, right‑of‑way work or any zoning permits.
If Coppess pursues roadwork tied to private development, city review and approvals would be required; no such approvals were requested or granted on Feb. 9.
