MOTION CARRIED. AUDIENCE Robert Rine II, 223 Dayton, #4, said he is disturbed that the Council has pledged their support for Proposition 1, supporting Snohomish County's endeavors to build a new juvenile justice cen- ter. Mr. Rine said the Council should instead pledge their support for youth programs aimed at helping youths rather than jailing them. Roger Hertrich, 1020 Puget Drive, expressed his concern with the increase in overhead wiring within the City of Edmonds. Mr. Hertrich y?b"' said recently, the telephone company has been expanding their service and as a result of this, vaults are being built for this purpose. Mr. Hertrich said on Olympic Avenue, south of 196th, there is huge V a vault with no screening whatsoever. Mr. Hertrich said he doesn't believe these projects are required to go through the ADB process, and feels they should. Mr. Hertrich believes the City should go back to regulating the utility and insist that the vaults are undergrounded. RECOGNITION OF MARC PETRELLA ON PROMOTION TO FIRE CAPTAIN POSITION Mayor all congratulated MarcjPetrella on his promotion. Fire Chief Buzz Buzalsky gave the badge to Mayor Hall, who in turn presented it to Marc Petrella promoting him to Captain effective Sep- tember 1, 1993. Chief Buzalsky said Mr. Petrella has been with the City since 1978,.and has since received vari- ous promotions. Chief Buzalsky noted many accomplishments Mr. Petrella has made, and congratulat- ed Marc on his promotion. Mr. Petrella introduced his wife and children to the Mayor and Coun- cil. The Mayor and City Council congratulated Marc on his achievements and promotion to Fire Captainl. UPDATE BY CONSULTANT BRUCE AGNEW AND COMMUNITY SERVICES DIRECTOR PAUL MAR REGARDING TRANSPORTA- TION ISSUES AND FUNDING FOR THE MULTIMODAL PROJECT "l a Mr. Agnew summarized the staff activity during the month of August on planning efforts related to the Mul'timodal Transportation Center project. The summary of of staff activity was included in Council packets for review. Mr. Agnew said he is in the process of setting up a meeting with Senator Patty Murray which should happen some time in September. Mr. Agnew said Senator Gorton has indicated that he would be able' to independently sponsor an appropriation item in the Senate Appropriation Bill if noth- ing is passed on the House side. Mr. Agnew's staff also indicated they would work with Senator Murray on a joint letter to Senator Frank Lowtenburg, Chairman of the Public Works Sub -committee on Transportation. Mr.- Agnew outlined the three step process regarding this project: 1) getting the project into the House Bill, which it looks like has met with success; 2) getting the project into the Senate Bill, and 3) Clear the conference committee. Mr., Agnew said the City probably won't know the fate of the project until late November, early December. c� HEARING ON PROPOSED PLANNING BOARD COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENTS REGARDING: SECTION �C fix. 18.40.030 - GRADING AND RETAINING WALLS; CHAPTER 20.20 - HOME OCCUPATIONS; FILE NO. CDC-92- %'� 237/CDC-6-91 _ �1 C) Grading and Retaining Walls 0� Jeff Wilson, Planning Supervisor, referenced a letter from Monte Clouston, citizen, concerning the revision of the code. Mr. Clouston asked the Council to increase the grading administrative authority of the City engineers to control the yardage moved during construction. Mr. Clouston that asked a conditional use permit not be required if the amount of yardage to be moved is 1000 yards or less. Mr. Wilson referenced Exhibit 1 in Council packets containing a draft code amendment that would G remove the requirement for a conditional use permit for grading while expanding the notice provi- I;A �: sions for SEPA. The intent is to provide greater notice for more development actions at the SEPA state of a development proposal, enabling public involvement earlier in the process. This would �G make the need for a conditional use permit for grading redundant, since the relevant issues should have been addressed through the SEPA and grading permit processes. A related issue is that fees for SEPA, determinations need to be addressed. Greater notice will require increased mailing and public notice costs, costs which staff feel should be borne by the permit applicant. No SEPA costs are currently recovered by the City, since the ECDC only enables staff to collect for SEPA review when SEPA does not accompany a permit application. Since all SEPA review accompa- nies a permit, no SEPA fees are ever collected. Mr. Wilson referenced and reviewed Exhibit 2 which contained Fee schedule alternatives for Council review. Home Occupations _01 '� Mr. Wilson referenced Exhibit 3 in Council packets, which contained a draft code amendment cover- t' ing home occupations. The purpose of the amendment is to allow residents to carry on home occupa- tions on their property while guaranteeing neighboring residents freedom from excessive noise, excessive traffic, nuisance, fire hazard and other possible potential negative impacts from the EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES Page 2 September 7, 1993 maintenance of a commercial use within a residential neighborhood. The purpose of the proposed ordinance is to permit two types of home use occupations while prohibiting other commercial uses in residential neighborhoods. ,The amendment also makes clear that the applicant has the burden of proof in seeking a home occupation, and that home occupations are voidable and not transfer- able. For purposes of clarity, Councilmember Dwyer said it is his understanding that with regards to attorneys, medical professions, etc. the City has created a presumption that they are not permit- ted, but it is rebuttable if they can show that no traffic will come to their home. Mr. Wilson confirmed Councilmember Dwyer's comments. Public Testimony j Morris Melacoff, 19510 80th Avenue West, Apt. A, spoke highly in favor of the proposed ordinance on Home Occupations with one exception. Mr. Melacoff suggested that one section addressing tempo- rary and permanent keeping of animals and animal related businesses be moved to the section where it would require a conditional use permit, and not just be granted a business license. Roger Hertrich, 1020 Puget Drive, agreed with Mr. Melacoff on the above issue, and said the docu- ment has been improved considerably from 1993 when the Planning Board had no one in the audience to speak on either issues. Mr. Hertrich suggested these issues be granted a second public hearing to get more public involvement. Mr. Hertrich said he believes the existing ordinance relating to grading and the public hearing process is the correct one to retain, and believes the proposed ordinance erodes public involvement. Mr. Hertrich believes this stems from the Hearing Examiner wanting to eliminate part of the process that he has to deal with. Mr.. Hertrich believes the public is better served by the existing ordinance. Dick Thorpe, 820 Edmonds Street, spoke in favor of the proposed ordinance on Home Occupations. Mr. Thorpe said his wife is in the process of setting up a consultant business in their home which would generate no traffic, and was astounded by the lengthy process and requirements of notifications to neighbors. Vic Jose, 7512 208th Street. S.W., C-203, applauded the Council on the revised amendment to the City Code regarding Home Occupations. Mr. Jose said the one part of the proposal that causes him great concern is the City is saying a business license can be obtained if their is absolutely no impact and absolutely no traffic. Mr. Jose said on very rare occasions, he will have a customer stop by, and believes the issue of "zero tolerance" needs to be addressed. Councilmember Hall agreed with Mr. Jose that the zero tolerance issue should be addressed. As no other member of the audience came forward to speak on either issue, Mayor Hall closed the public portion of the hearing. Council Discussion City Attorney Scott Snyder said the structure of the ordinance pertaining to Home Occupations allows for businesses who attract no clients to their home to simply apply for a business permit. If a business is going to have clients coming to their home, they first apply for a conditional use permit. Mr. Snyder said the ordinance does not prohibit businesses who have customers to their home, it is simply a different process via the conditional use permit process. With regards to the grading ordinance, Councilmember Dwyer wanted clarification that there are no circumstances where a project would be presently publicized for review which would not also under the new ordinance be publicized for review. Jeff Wilson, Planning Supervisor, confirmed Council - member Dwyer's statement. Mr. Wilson said any development subject to a grading permit today would be subject to SEPA under the proposed code amendment. City Attorney Scott Snyder said the comment from citizen Mark Melacoff regarding businesses relat- ing to animal keeping was a good one and agreed it should be moved to the section requiring a conditional use permit. Mr. Wilson and Councilmembers agreed. Councilmember Hall said it almost seems unconstitutional that you can prohibit somebody from going to visit someone's residence for business purposes. It was noted that it is not prohibited, the business simply first has to register for a conditional use permit. Councilmember Hall sug- gested the ordinance be amended so that a business license would be allowed "if the home occupa- tion does not create traffic in excess to normal residential levels". Mr. Wilson said this would be too difficult to enforce, and Staff wants to make sure the appli- cants have a very clear understanding of what is and what is not allowed as a home occupation. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES Page 3 September 7, 1993 Regarding the fee structure and alternatives for SEPA determinations, Councilmember Palmer sug- gested the fee structure be adopted which used flat rate plus billable hours. Councilmember Palm- er said this fee structure would recover the actual staff costs. City Attorney Scott Snyder. suggested the only group of people who should not incur a fee would be those who are seeking Meadowdale permits, as they are paying for $10,000 to $20,000 for engineer- ing and design work, and should not incur any more fees. Councilmembers and Staff agreed. COUNCILMEMBER EARLING, MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PALMER, FOR APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSAL OF CODE AMENDMENTS REGARDING GRADING AND RETAINING WALLS 18.40.030, ADOPTING AT THE SAME TIME, THE FEE SCHEDULE AS SUGGESTED BY �OUNCILMEMBER PALMER, BEING THE FLAT RATE PLUS BILLABLE HOURS, AND TO EXCLUDE THE MEADOWDALE PERMIT LANDSLIDE HAZARD AREAS, THUS ADOPTING ORDINANCE 2950. MOTION CARRIED. COUNCILMEMBER PALMER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI, TO PASS THE HOME OCCUPATION RELAT- ED CODE AMENDMENT, THUS PASSING ORDINANCE 2951 WITH THE CHANGE DISCUSSED TONIGHT MOVING THE SEC- TION A-7 INTO THE B-2 AREA, WHICH IS THE ANIMAL RELATED SECTION OF THE ORDINANCE. Under discussion, Councilmember Hall suggested an amendment to the main motion. COUNCILMEMBER HALL MOVED TO AMEND THE MOTION TO THE EFFECT THAT THE HOME OCCUPATION IS ADVERTISED, INTENDED, AND/OR IN FACT ATTRACTS TRAFFIC WHICH IS NOT IN EXCESS OF THE NORMAL RESIDENTIAL LEVELS. COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI SECONDED BY MOTION for discussion purposes. Councilmember Petruzzi said he seconded'. the motion only because he wanted Councilmember Hall to have the opportunity to voice his concerns so the motion would not simply die for lack of second. Councilmember Petruzzi said he believes Councilmember Hall's proposed amendment would make it too difficult to enforce. Coun- cilmember Dwyer said a residential neighborhood exists for residential uses, and not business uses. Councilmember Dwyer said for those businesses who state they will have visitors for busi- ness purposes, they should have to go through the conditional use permit process to protect the residential neighborhood character. Councilmember Palmer agreed. THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT FAILED with Councilmember Hall voting yes, and Councilmember Nordquist, Councilmember Dwyer, Councilmember Palmer, Councilmember Petruzzi, Councilmember Kasper, and Council President Earling voting no. THE MAIN MOTION THEN CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. CONTINUED DISCUSSION ON CITY NEWSLETTER (cont'd from July 27, 1993) Councilmember Palmer referenced information in Council packets regarding a proposed City newslet- ter. Councilmember Palmer he and Councilmember Hall would like to see funding for a city newslet- �'ter included in the 1994 budget. The recommendation includes funding in the approximate amount of $6,000 per issue on a quarterly basis. Councilmember Palmer said the majority of each cover page likely will be devoted to current issues as well as information from the office of the Mayor and Council. Councilmember Palmer said recycling news could be integrated into the city newsletter, which would lessen the cost, as grant monies for recycling could be used. Councilmember Palmer said he recommends Mr. Steve Botkin prepare .the newsletter, as he does newsletters for several cities, including the City's recycling news. Councilmember Palmer noted Mr. Botkin has indicated he works as a temporary employee at the Seattle Times, which is his employer. Councilmember Palm- er said he has never met Mr. Botkin and has no business or personal relationship with him. The Council was receptive to the idea of a city newsletter., depending on the city's financial situation at the end of the year,and directed that the funds be included when preparing the 1994 budget. APPROVAL TO NEGOTIATE ADDITIONAL SCOPE OF WORK FOR DEMOLITION AT BRACKETT'S LANDING PARK SOUTH �C AND TO IMPLEMENT COST-EFFECTIVE METHODS TO ACCOMPLISH WORK AND DISCUSSION AND APPROVAL OF REFORMA- {"r J TION AGREEMENT TO MAINTAIN PARTY WALL {Bob Alberts, City Engineer, said on August 3, 1993, City Council approved the awarding of a con- tract to Gaston Brothers Excavating, Inc. and appropriated $65,000 from Fund 125 for demolition of all structures at Brackett s Landing park South. On August 31, the contractor was issued a Notice to proceed. Mr. Alberts said since this time, problems have arose, in which the neighboring party has dis- agreements on the structural integrity of the common wall. At the request of Councilmember Kas- per, Paul Mar, Community Services Director distributed a report of findings and the Party Wall Agreement to the Mayor and Council. Mr. Alberts said the owners of the adjoining structure has stated they believe the wall is a structural integral part of the building. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES Page 4 September 7, 1993 City Attorney Scott Snyder said the structural engineer who designed the building stated he de- signed the building with the intent that the wall take a certain portion of the load. Mr. Snyder said the city's structural engineer is stating the wall is not in any condition to do so. Council President Earling said when discussions first took place on this issue, some Councilmem- bers expressed concern over this potential problem, and asked why the City did not explore these potential problems in the beginning. Mr. Snyder said that Whitely Jacobsen stated he couldn't find any evidence that the wall was tied in, therefore, he didn't think it was necessary to support and it could be removed as part of the project. The City then gave notice based on the provision of the Party Wall Agreement, and the other party has come back with their concerns. Mr. Snyder said the Party Wall Agreement states that in order to maintain the Party Wall Agreement, they would have to pick up all the costs of repair of the wall, their position is "there is nothing wrong with the wall". Mayor Hall stated that Council President Earling and another individual related to the subject, have a business relationship, and said maybe Council President Earling is concerned that this has not taken the correct steps because of this business relationship. Councilmember Dywer said every time this subject has come up in Executive Session, Council Presi- dent Earling has mentioned the fact that one of the partners has a business relationship with him. Councilmember Dwyer said he has not seen anything in any of those Executive Sessions to lead him to the conclusion that to the extent that he has a concern about how this has been handled, that the existence of that business relationship played any role in his concern. Mayor Hall said Councilmember Dwyer is correct, however, stated the public has not been apprised of that. Councilmember Palmer said on the contrary, the information was made public every time Council President. Earling revealed the business relationship. Councilmember Palmer asked Mr. Alberts if a physical survey of the property was completed to make sure of its exact property boundaries. Mr. Alberts said he does not know. Councilmember Palmer asked City Engineer Bob Alberts if he has made an assessment of the structure. Mr. Alberts replied no. Councilmember Palmer asked Mayor Hall why the City Engineer has not been directed to make a review of the structure, the situa- tion, and give a recommendation. Mayor Hall said she did not tell him not to do so. Councilmem- ber Palmer asked Mayor Hall if Mr. Alberts should make a review and give a recommendation. Mr. Alberts said the reason the City took the course it did is because of Whitley's company does the plan reviews for structures for the city. Councilmember Palmer said he is interested to see what the city's engineer's assessment would be. Mr. Alberts said he would agree with Whitley. Council - member Palmer said since Mr. Alberts has not made an inspection, does he have anything to base his support of Mr. Whitley on? Mr. Alberts said no. Councilmember Hall asked to see the Party Wall Agreement. Mr. Mar distributed a copy to Council - members. City Attorney Scott Snyder said the Agreement was drafted in 1964 with one major flaw in that it does not anticipate a date that both parties won't use the wall. Council President Earling said in the Real Estate brokerage business, if there appears to be a problem that needs to be resolved, and on first flush the problem does not seem to be addressed, more answers have to be received until the problem is answered in all to all parties. Council President Earling said this is done on properties whether they are $400,000 or $130,000 proper- ties. Council President Earling said it seemed to him the same question should relate to a $2 million purchase. Council President Earling said he takes considerable offense at the Mayor's comments, as he has disclosed at public meetings and executive sessions, the business relation- ship. Council President Earling said he takes considerable offense at Mayor Hall's comments and it will not go unnoticed. . City Attorney Scott Snyder said it is his understanding that one of the brokers in Council Presi- dent Earling's business is a 13-1/2% ownership in the partner, which is not a controlling inter- est. Mr. Snyder said it is also his understanding that the compensation that is paid nor Council - member Earling' revenues receipts are in any way tied up with what this person does in a partner- ship. Mr. Snyder said this does not constitute a conflict of interest. As the Mayor and Council decided to hold an Executive Session to discuss this item further, COUN- CILMEMBER PETRUZZI MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PALMER, TO REMOVE THE REMAINDER OF THE AGENDA ITEMS FROM TONIGHT'S AGENDA. MOTION CARRIED. I . At 10:00 p.m, the Mayor and Council recessed to an Executive Session to discuss a Real Estate .�_ r) Matter, and adjourned the meeting thereafter, at approximately 10:32 p.m. ;A01 THE ORIGINAL SIGNED COPY OF THESE MINUTES, AS WELL AS A TAPED RECORDING OF ALL COUNCIL MEETINGS CAN BE LOCATED IN THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE.
