THESE MINUTES WERE APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL AT THEIR
JULY 26 MEETING.
Mel Critchley, resident of Edmonds, addressed the Council on train speed issues. Mr. Critchley
said after much work and perseverance, he received a copy of logged in train accidents which
occurred in Washington State this last year. Mr. Critchley said the stack of paper is 2' 1/4 inches
thick with train accidents, largely due to negligence and lack of training Mr. Critchley said he
originally asked for copies of logged in train accidents for the entire United States, however, the
paperwork would have reached 50' in height. Mr. Critchley urged the Council to keep this in
mind when WSDOT comes before the Council in the near future. Mr. Critchley said the big
concern, of which the City has no control is hazardous materials that trains will be carrying
through the City. Mr. Critchley said there is an enormous health and safety problem with this
issue.
Councilmember Dwyer said if there is Council consensus, he would like the Council President to
1 schedule some time on an upcoming agenda for Mr. Critchley's `s group to address the Council
on this issue. Councilmember Dwyer said the Council now receives information from Mr.
�e>�U Critchley during the audience portion which only allows him three minutes, and feels the group
should have more time on an agenda to address the Council. The Council was receptive to the
idea, and Council President Nordquist said he would schedule this on an upcoming agenda.

City CouncilApproved Minutes
July 5, 1994
Page 3
THESE MINUTES WERE APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL AT THEIR
JULY 26 MEETING.
The appellants (Dan & Janis McLain) have filed an appeal of the Hearing Examiner's decision to
overturn a staff interpretation of ECDC Section 17.40.030.0 (Nonconforming Lots") and its
application to the property located at 20710 82nd Ave West.
The appellants are appealing the Hearing Examiner's decision based primarily on concerns for
public safety in the area of the proposed development, 5 lots served by a small easement road
(including the appellants' property and the Alston & Wax parcels). The appellants raise these
concerns in light of the applicant's desire to develop a lot (Lot B) which is a legal
nonconforming lot (a lot which does not comply with the minimum lot area requirements for the
RS-8 zone.
Mr. Wilson said the issue which began this series of events was initiated by the Planning
Division's issuance of a letter of interpretation which informed the applicants that Lot B was not
a buildable lot, as it was under common ownership with an adjacent lot, and therefore, pursuance
to ECDC 17.40.030.C, the two lots are deemed to be combined to the extent necessary to bring
the nonconforming lot into conformance with the minimum lot area requirements for the RS-8
zone.
Mr. Wilson direction the Council to the Agenda Memo packet which contained extensive
background on this issue.
The recommended action from Staff is to consider the appeal of the Hearing Examiner's decision
and the non -conforming lot provisions outlined by Staff.
Councilmember Dwyer asked City Attorney Scott Snyder if the Council has to make findings
beyond the ownership interest question. Mr. Snyder said basically, the question before the
Council is the application of the staff s interpretation of the nonconforming lot provision of the
code. Mr. Snyder advised the Council against issues of ownership and said there is no proposal
before the Council to subdivide either property. Mr. Snyder said the sole issue is whether or not
under the facts presented, to uphold the staff interpretation of non -conforming lot provisions.
Councilmember Dwyer asked if anyone has the burden of proof. Mr. Snyder said the applicant,
in this case, the original appellant retains the burden of persuasion through the process as this is a
denovo hearing.
Testimony of the Applicant
Jeffrey Eustis, Attorney, spoke on behalf of his clients, Gary Alston and Larry Wax.
Mr. Eustis referred to a letter distributed to Councilmembers that evening. This letter was
marked Exhibit 1 by the City Clerk. The letter requested that the Hearing Examiner's decision
be upheld and that the Planning Department be directed to issue a building permit for the lot in
question.
Mr. Eustis said there is no legal basis for the Council to reverse the Examiner's decision. Mr.
Eustis said the McLains are concerned about the potential safety impacts of allowing a fourth
house on the private, 20 foot wide driveway that serves these residence. Mr. Eustis said although
these lots were created before being annexed into the City in 1958, the private driveway still

JULY 26 MEETING.
meets City standards. Mr. Eustis said there safety issues, as described by McClains' simply do
not exist.
Mr. Eustis said the issue of whether the lot in question lies in common ownership with the
property to the west is immaterial. By its terms, the common ownership provision in City Code
only applies to situations where common parcels have remained in common ownership for all
periods since the lots have been nonconforming. Mr. Eustis said the parcel in question has never
been in common ownership with the property to the west.
Mr. Eustis said to hold to the Planning Department's interpretation that this parcel is not
developable on account of common ownership would needlessly expose the city to damages. To
discriminate between properties on the basis of ownership has already been found to amount to a
violation of equal protection principles. Mr. Eustis cited a case "Grader v. Lynnwood".
Mr. Eustis displayed an enlarged copy of a boundary survey. This was marked Exhibit 2 by the
City Clerk and routed to the Mayor and Council for their review. Mr. Eustis displayed an
enlarged portion of City Code which addresses nonconforming lots. This was marked Exhibit 3
by the City Clerk and routed to City Council for their review.
Mr. Eustis displayed photographs showing the lot in question and the driveway that serves the
area. This.was marked Exhibit 3 by the City Clerk and routed to the City Council for their
review.
Testimony of the Appellant
Janis McClain, 20704 82nd Ave. West, said although she and her husband prepared a statement
which detailed their four concerns to the Hearing Examiner, he did not address any of these. Ms.
McClain said she believes the if this project is allowed to be built, lives are in jeopardy and to
ignore and not address this concern in the conclusion is doing a disservice to everyone who may
use 82nd Ave. West or their private road. Ms. McClain asked that her concerns be reviewed by
the City Council.
It was noted there were two additional letters submitted to the Mayor and City Council this
evening relating to this subject. They were assigned the following Exhibit numbers:
Exhibit #5 Letter from Fred and Mary Hawley, dated July 4th, who supports the Hearing
Examiner's decision;
Exhibit #6 Letter from Michael and Sue Ann Poole, dated July 4th who also support the
Hearing Examiner's decision.
Doug Purcell, Attorney, representing two of the neighbors, Ketty Branwell and Roy Robinson,
spoke on the issue. Mr. Purcell submitted a letter to the Mayor and City Council outlining what
they believe is the legal issue. A copy of the letter was given to Mr. Eustis. Mr. Purcell said his
clients are against building on the subject lot as they feel the lots are too small under the city's
current zoning.
Wilma Snyder, said this issue is very important to her as some of her property is involved in the
proposal. Ms. Snyder said it is her hope that the proposed construction will be able to go
forward, as it will financially assist her so she will be able to remain in her home.

THESE MINUTES WERE APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL AT THEIR
DULY 26 MEETING.
James Snyder, son of the previous speaker, spoke in favor of the proposed building. Mr. Snyder
gave the City Clerk a picture of the subject property and said it will cause no adverse impact.
Larry Wax, applicant spoke to the issue briefly.
Jeff Wilson, Planning Manager, spoke to Exhibit 2 supplied by Mr. Eustis. Mr. Wilson said
although he agrees with Mr. Eustis in that there was a very dramatic change in the language to
the code, however, stated it was not the intent to the change the code, but to instead clarify the
code language. Mr. Wilson said there were several public hearings and discussions held on this
one particular subject. Mr. Wilson said prior to the code amendment, the City did not allow any
development on legal nonconforming lots if they were under common ownership. Mr. Wilson
said there is a very conscious effort on the part of the Council to still protect against
development on substandard lots in the City, but also recognizing there was an opportunity to
allow for some level of development if they met the sliding scale on the threshold, in this case
80% of the RS-8 zone.
Council discussion and deliberation
Councilmember Petruzzi referenced a purchase and sale agreement in council packet dated
January 5, 1994 between Mr. Alston and Mr. Wax. Councilmember Petruzzi asked Mr. Wilson
how soon thereafter that Mr. Wax and Mr. Alston came to the City asking about this particular
lot. Mr. Wilson said original initial discussions were by John Bissell, and the earliest written
correspondence is dated March 11, 1994.
Scott Snyder, City Attorney, provided his remarks to the City Council.. Mr. Snyder said issues
of safety are irrelevant to the current proceeding as there is no subdivision of lots, and code
subdivision criteria is not being applied. Regarding Grader v. Lynnwood as cited by Mr. Eustis,
Mr. Snyder said this was a case in which a building permit was denied on one lot due to a
problem with an illegal condition on another lot. Both lots were owned by the same party, they
were contiguous - Mr. Snyder said it was not an adjudication of non -conforming lot provisions.
Regarding the definition of "since" in which Mr. Eustis has referred to, Mr. Snyder read three
separate definitions for this word, as found in the Webster Dictionary: (1) "From a definite past,
time, until now"; (2) Before the present time, and; (3) After a time had passed. It was noted by
Mr. Snyder that Mr. Eustis is defining the word "since" according to the first definition and staff
is defining the word consistent with definition (2) and (3).
Mr. Eustis was asked if he would like additional time to respond to the materials presented. Mr.
Eustis replied affirmatively.
Councilmember Dwyer asked Mr. Eustis if between now and Thursday of next week would be
sufficient time. Mr. Eustis replied affirmatively. Councilmember Dwyer said it is intent to
liberalize the rules so as to give Mr. Eustis additional time to speak and an opportunity to present
his case fairly. Councilmember Dwyer said it seems to him there is a good faith argument going
on. Councilmember Dwyer suggested Mr. Eustis be given an additional 10 minutes so he does
not feel he did not receive enough time to present his client's case.
Councilmember Petruzzi agreed.

HEARING ON PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDTION TO DENYA REZONE AND A
COMPREHENSIVE PLANAMENDMENT AT 4114THAVENUE SOUTH (APPLICANT,
ROGER MONTGOMERY4EYe nos. R-94-26 AND CDC-94-27)
Jeff Wilson, Planning Supervisor, provided the staff report.
Mr. Wilson provided background information on this issue and displayed an overhead view foil
showing the subject property and surrounding property.
The applicant submitted concurrent applications to the Planning Division to amend the City's
current Comprehensive Plan designation for the property from "Commercial" to "High Density
Residential", and to rezone the subject property from RM-2.4 to RM-1.5.
On May 11, 1994, the applicant's requests were presented to the Planning Board in a public
hearing. After consideration o all the testimony, the Planning Board adopted recommendations to
the City Council to deny the requested Comprehensive Plan amendment and concurrent rezone
application. The primary reasoning for recommending denial of both of the requests is the
inconsistent nature of both the existing Comprehensive Plan map and zoning for the subject
property and its surrounding area. Furthermore, as the City is the latter stages of development of
the revised comprehensive Plan, it was deemed inappropriate to revise the current
Comprehensive Plan without the benefit of the thorough review and analysis which is currently
taking place with the current comprehensive Plan amendment process.
It is the recommendation of Staff to uphold the recommendations of the Planning Board and
deny the applicant's request for a concurrent amendment to the Comprehensive Plan and a
Rezone for the subject property.
City Attorney Scott Snyder said part of the GMA process will be to eliminate some confusion in
the future as to the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Map. It was noted that by January 1, 1995
the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Map must agree. At the present time, they do not.
Testimony of the Apj2 icant
Monty Montgomery, brother of the applicant said this process was started two years ago when it
began with the Planning Board. Mr. Montgomery said people are more concerned with
commercial versus building condominiums. Mr. Montgomery said it has been a long process
and they have been very patient and has been told numerous times to wait until the

Comprehensive Plan is completed. Mr. Montgomery said the property has been owned y the
family for several years and requested the concurrent applicants be approved.
Public Testimony
Ray Albano, resident of Edmonds stated his support for the change in zoning and said GMA is
going to require that the City take in more population, thus more housing is going to be needed.
As there was no other member of the public wishing to speak on this subject, Mayor Hall closed
the public portion of the meeting.
Councilmember Wilson said this is a difficult issue as the zoning that will be in that area has not
been ascertained yet. Mr. Wilson said this will take place during the GMA process which will be
completed by January 1, 1995 when the City must abide by legislation by adopting a
Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Wilson said other elements of the GMA state there must be more
employment opportunities as well as provide more housing. Mr. Wilson said staff is in the
process of studying the issue and said changing zoning in piece meal fashion would be difficult
and staff would rather address it wholly.
Council discussion and deliberation
The City Council discussed the applicant's dilemma, and discussed the pros and cons of
approving the concurrent applications. It was noted that by January 1, 1995 the Comprehensive
Plan and Zoning Code must match. Councilmembers understood there exists a "hodge podge" of
zoning in the area of the subject property, however felt it should be dealt with in the GMA
process.

issue and have talked to the same gentlemen. Mr. Mar said staff is looking into this to fix the
problem
Councilmember Kasper said 8th Avenue is very dangerous for people who are trying to cross. He
