ARLINGTON — Property owners near the Gleneagle housing development believe their property was jeopardized by the city of Arlington, the developers of Gleneagle, the Gleneagle Country Club Association and close to 30 other parties who have been named as defendants in a suit filed Jan. 5 in Snohomish County Superior Court.
Business partners Joe Holden and Lee McDaniel own an industrial use-zoned parcel at 18520 67th Ave. NE, downhill of Gleneagle, which experienced stormwater runoff from snow in December of 2008 and flooding in January of 2009. The property is leased to a company whose steel manufacturing process uses hazardous materials which must remain on site, and the partners’ lawsuit claims that such flooding prevents their property from being leased for this purpose.
