mended him for his tong and distinguished service. Wally Tribuzio, Assistant Police Chief thanked

APPROVAL OF ADDENDUM TO CONTRACT WITH "MAKERS" TO PROVIDE FOR EXPANDED ECONOMIC SCOPE FOR WATER-
, . 1, D N N 0 .00
V Staff Report and Recommendation
Rob Chave, Planning Manager, said this was discussed at the June 9 Community Services Committee
Meeting. Mr. Chave said it is the desire of the Community Services Committee to replace the eco-
nomics portion of the study scope with a new, expanded scope, and add $16,000 to the total con-
tract amount to provide the needed supplemental funding. Mr. Chave said the Community Services
Committee feels it is important that the City receive a credible economic and fiscal evaluation
of the impacts on the business community should the present ferry dock be relocated. This scope
would include evaluating alternative ferry location sites based on impacts on retail and service
sales, and changes in business and traffic patterns. Mr. Chave said Staff also agrees with expand-
ing the scope.
Councilmember Earling, Community Services Committee member, encouraged Councilmembers to approve
the expanded scope so the City could thoroughly study the effect on the business community, if
the ferry dock was relocated.
Council President Palmer said he was present at the Community Services Committee meeting when
this topic was discussed and said that a representative from the Chamber of Commerce was present
and strongly supported the expanded scope.
Councilmember Nordquist, Chair of the Community Services Committee, recommended that the Council
approve the expanded scope.
Councilmember Petruzzi said he has paid particular attention to the discussions held by local
business people and said they are concerned about the adequacy of the economics analysis. Council -
member Petruzzi said the expanded scope will address those concerns.

Councilmember Dwyer asked if it was possible to have the economic portion of the Water-
front/Downtown Plan finished prior to the entire study. Mr. Chave said a majority of the economic
portion of the study will be done immediately. Councilmember Dwyer asked how soon the Council
would have the results of the economic portion of the study, so as to help them make a decision
on other items as a result of the balance of the Waterfront Study. Mr. Chave said the majority of
the survey work would be done in August. However, he said he would get together with the sub -con-
sultant to develop a more accurate time line, as well as providing within that time line, key
01-1 decision points or information points out of the economic scope.
COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT PALMER, FOR APPROVAL OF THE ADDENDUM
(�1�� TO CONTRACT WITH MAKERS TO SUPPLEMENT THE ECONOMICS SCOPE OF WATERFRONT/DOWNTOWN PLAN AND ALLO-
ATE $16,000 FROM THE COUNCIL CONTINGENCY TO PAY FOR THE EXPANDED ECONOMICS SCOPE. MOTION CARRIED.
Q� �G1EARING ON SIX -YEAR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
Staff Report
rBob Alberts, City Engineer, said each year, the City is required to prepare a Six -Year Transporta-
tion Improvement Program, hold a public hearing, and adopt the program by resolution prior to
July 31, 1992.
uory nyae, tngineering coordinator, reviewed the Six -Year Transportation Improvement Program with
the Mayor and City Council. Mr. Hyde said the program, with changes requested by the Council
would be incorporated into the Plan, and brought back to Council for final approval prior to July
31, 1992. Mr. Hyde reviewed the Traffic Signalization and Channelization Projects, as well as the
Roadway Construction/Restoration Projects and Street Improvement/Walkway Projects.
-Councilmember Petruzzi inquired on the entry for a fully actuated traffic signal for 212th and
St. S.W. and 72nd Ave. W. Councilmember Petruzzi said it is his understanding the Council did not
authorize a traffic signal at that location as of yet. Mr. Hyde said the Council directed Staff
to have funding in place, in case an actuated traffic signal is found to be needed. Mr. Hyde
clarified that even though the City applies for funding, it would have to come before the Council
for authorization before any funds are expended for any project.
Councilmember Dwyer clarified that Staff will be reporting back to the Council in the future on
the effectiveness of the four-way stop, and the .Council has not yet made a final decision on the
subject.
Council President Palmer referenced an entry in the Street Improvement/Walkway Projects, to con-
struct a walkway on at least one side of roadway on 76th Ave. W on Meadowdale Beach Road to North
Meadowdale Road. Council President Palmer said this has been on the list for a few years, and
feels it is imperative that this project be afforded a greater priority and acted upon as soon as
possible. Mr. Hyde said he has no problem with affording this greater priority on the list.
Mayor Hall opened up the public portion of the hearing
Public Testimony
Roger Hertrich, 1020 Puget Drive, referenced an entry in the Street Improvement/Walkway Project,
specifically, 102nd P1. S.W., Edmonds-Woodway High School to SR-104. The entry calls for widening
and construction of a walkway on one side of the road. Mr. Hertrich wants to make sure the neigh-
bors are consulted and informed of this proposed project. Mr. Hertrich said in the original plans
for the High School, there was an access road proposed on the back side of the school. Mr.
Hertrich said there is room for this access road which he feels would relieve traffic congestion
in other areas.
With no other member of the audience wishing to speak, Mayor Hall closed the audience portion of
the hearing.
Council Discussion
No action was taken on this item. The Six -Year Transportation Improvement Plan will come back
before the Council prior to July 31, 1992 for final approval.

City Attorney John Wallace suggested the Council discuss the next hearing on the Agenda before
this one, because if the Council granted the appeal on the latter hearing, it would render the
subject hearing moot.
COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER EARLING, TO REVERSE ITEMS 5 AND SIX ON
THE AGENDA. MOTION CARRIED.

Paae 3 June 16. 1992
ON HEARINGEXAMINER'S RECOMMENDATION REGARDING APP
OF ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
City Attorney John Wallace said the.opinion of the Responsible Official is to be afforded substan-
tial weight by the City Council. Mr. Wallace said if the Council does not find from all of the
evidence, that the Responsible Official has erred, the Council must uphold the decision. Mr..
Wallace said all testimony from interested parties must be made under oath, and Mr. Wallace admin-
istered the oath to all parties who were going to be giving testimony on this subject.
Mr. Wallace asked the Mayor and Council to reveal any ex-parte communications or appearance of
fairness problems. No such revelations were made by Mayor or Council.
Councilmember Dwyer referenced the petition given to the City Council and Mayor concerning the
subject property.
Mr. Wallace asked members of the audience if they had any challenges to any Councilmember partici-
pating in the hearing. No challenges were made.
Staff Report and Recommendation
Jeff Wilson, Planning Supervisor, said the applicant, Bruce Goodnight, submitted an application
to the Architectural Design Board for the construction of a 7-unit multifamily complex at 7801
and 7807 196th Street S.W. As the project contains more than four dwelling units, the project is
subject to the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), and the City must issue an Environmental
- Determination. On February 12, 1992, an Environmental Determination of Nonsignificance was issued
for the proposed development.
On February 24, 1992, an appeal of the Responsible Official's Environmental determination for the
Goodnight multi -family development was filed by Lawrence McLean (appellant). The appellant con-
tends that the environmental determination did not adequately address the potential impacts of
the development on the appellee's/applicant's site to the existing trees located on the appel-
lant's property adjacent to the proposed driveway.
On May 21, 1992, the .Hearing Examiner held a public hearing to solicit testimony regarding the
appeal of the Respohsible Official's determination. Upon review of all written and oral testimony
on the matter, the Hearing Examiner issued a recommendation on the .appeal on May 29; 1992, that
the determination of Nonsignificance issued by the Responsible Official on February 12, 1992, be
upheld.
In his recommendation, the Hearing Examiner concluded that the subject permit application had
received a thorough review by the.SEPA, the Responsible Official, Staff, and the Architectural
Design Board, and that conditions were applied that were designed to preserve and protect the
vegetation on the adjacent property which was the subject of this appeal.
Mr. Wilson recommended to the Council they they uphold the Hearing Examiner's recommendation
issued May 29, 1992.
Council Discussion
Councilmember Dwyer asked what measures are desired by the appellant that have not been imposed
to date. Mr. Wilson said the appellant does not feel there have been adequate studies by appropri-
ate qualified personnel as to the effects of the asphalt driveways on the trees. Councilmember
Dwyer asked how staff determined that there had been adequate review. Mr. Wilson. said the pro-
posed project has been reviewed by the A.D.B, as well as gone through the SEPA process and Staff
review. Councilmember Dwyer asked if there was a procedure that the City could impose on the
applicant that would guarantee that the proposed project would not harm the trees. Mr. Wilson
said bonding is possible, however, noted that this would not serve as a guarantee. Mr. Wilson
said there is no way to guarantee that the proposed design would not harm the trees.
Councilmember Petruzzi asked how close the trees are to the actual road, and Mr. Wilson said it
is his recollection there are two trees within two to three feet from the property line, and the
roadway is another three feet. from the property line on the opposite side of the applicant's side
of the fence.
FINAL COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES
Page 4 June 16, 1992
Council President Palmer asked Mr. Wilson to show the Council on an overhead projector, exactly
where the trees are located, along with their drip lines. Mr. Wilson obliged. Mr. Wilson submit-
ted three photos to the City Clerk showing the subject trees. The City Clerk marked the exhibited
Exhibit A. Mr. Wilson said the Applicant did have an arborist review the plans. It was noted that
although the trees are not on the applicant's property, the roots of the tree extend to the appli-
cant's property because of the close proximity to the property line.
Council President Palmer asked if the width of the paving is the minimum required, and Mr. Wilson
said that appears to be the case.
Councilmember Petruzzi asked how close to the property line is a road allowed to be built, and
Mr. Wilson replied five feet. Mr. Wilson said, however, the A.D.B. has the authority to make
adjustments to the width of the landscape areas between property lines.
Testimony of the Applicant
Bruce Goodnight, 727 Sprague Street, said he has done everything in his power to mitigate the
problems by hiring a licensed arborist to design aeration and a water system that will minimize
the impact on the trees by the construction.
Testimony of the Appellant
Lawrence McLean, 7732 195th S.W., said his concern from the beginning is that the trees in ques-
tion were never mentioned in either the environmental checklist of the environmental assessment
by the developer. Mr. McLean presented Exhibit B to the City Council which showed the same three
pictures earlier submitted by Planning Supervisor Jeff Wilson, as well as a Landscape Plan. The
City Clerk marked these Exhibit A. Mr. McLean reviewed the Landscape Plan with the Mayor and
Council. Mr. McLean said one of the trees has an 18 foot dripline which protrudes on the appli-
cant's site, and the other true has a 16 foot dripline which protrudes on the applicant's site.
Mr. McLean feels there hasn't been enough done to evaluate the site with respect to the trees.
Mr. McLean said he wants to know who would be liable for the trees should they die due to this
proposed development. Mr. McLean said the City Standards with regards to drip lines are not being
followed in this process.
Councilmember Earling asked Mr. McLean if the fence line has been surveyed, and Mr. McLean said
to the best of his knowledge it has not been.
Councilmember Dwyer asked Mr. McLean to explain how the proposal is inconsistent with the City's
standards. Mr. McLean said the Standards indicate that the tree's drip line will be maintained
and there will be no clearing, no mounding, or no heavy equipment within the drip line. Mr.
McLean said if the developer followed the tree development standards, then they wouldn't be plac-
ing the road three feet away from the base of the trees.
Mr. Wilson read the section in the code that Mr. McLean described as City Standards with regards
to drip lines. The section is entitled "Performance Standards for Land Development Permits", sub
paragraph h.
Council President Palmer clarified that at present, the Council is only reviewing the appeal of
the Hearing Examiner's recommendation regarding the SEPA review.
Councilmember Hall asked if the section that Mr. Wilson read applies to the subject property to
be cleared or does it apply to neighboring properties as well. Mr. Wilson said generally, the
Code is going to applied to the subject property, and the off -site impacts would be looked at
through the SEPA process.
Continued testimony of the Applicant
Bruce Goodnight, Applicant, said he would be willing to mitigate the situation by offering to
replant some new trees if the trees in question do die. Mr. Goodnight said he does not believe
the trees would die in light of the precautionary measures he is taking to protect them.
Public Testimony
Brian Goodnight, 727 Sprague Street, said he is the applicant's partner. Mr. Goodnight said the
applicant is trying to construct the best possible project for the site in question. Mr.
Goodnight said he realizes there is a problem with the trees, however, noted the roots of the
tree extend well into the applicant's property. Mr. Goodnight said he feels some middle ground
could be reached, as the property owner has rights to develop their property.
FINAL COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES
Page 5 June 16, 1992
Francis McLean, 7732 195th Street, said the trees in question are approximately 70 years old and
they cannot be replaced. Ms. McLean said it is upsetting to think that something might happen to
the trees.
As no other member of the audience wished to come forward, Mayor Hall closed the audience portion
of the hearing.
Council Discussion and deliberation
Councilmember Petruzzi asked the City Attorney if it would be appropriate to table the issue
until the next item on the agenda pertaining to the same subject is discussed. Mr. Wallace re-
plied affirmatively.
Councilmember Dwyer asked Planning Supervisor Jeff Wilson, to discuss the litany of requirements
that the City has in its power to impose with regard to tree clearing on the lot. Mr. Wilson
obliged. Councilmember Dwyer inquired if the ADB imposed the required standards on the subject
property. Mr. Wilson said he was not in attendance at the ADB hearings, so he could not provide
an answer. Council President Palmer said he he was very much involved when the section on tree
clearing was written, and he recalls one of the requirements of the section was that it would be
applicable and would be used by the ADB for any project that fell under their review. Council
President Palmer said unless something has changed in the Code he isn't aware of, the ADB should
have applied those standards.
COUNCILMEMBER DWYER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI, TO TABLE THE DECISION ON THIS ITEM
UNTIL AFTER TESTIMONY IS HEARD ON THE NEXT ITEM.
-Under discussion, Councilmember Dwyer said the reason he is making is the motion, is although
they are two separate items, the Hearing Examiner does reference the ADB's decision in several -
places and Councilmember Dwyer feels the hearing of the next item would help the Council reach a
decision. MOTION CARRIED with Councilmember Hall voting no.
Mayor Hall and the City recessed for five minutes at 8:55 p.m. and reconvened at 9:00 p.m.
HEARING ON APPEAL OF THE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN BOARD DECISION ON A NEW 7-UNIT APARTMENT AT 7801
Mayor Hall asked the City Council to reveal any ex-parte communications or appearance of fairness
revelations. No such revelations were made. Mayor Hall asked members of the audience if they had
any challenges to any Councilmember participating in the hearing. No challenges were made.
Staff Report and Recommendation
Jeff Wilson said the essence of this appeal by the appellant is the concern of the appellant that.
the trees on his property were not mentioned in any of the environmental check lists or environ-
mental assessments.
Councilmember Petruzzi referenced a letter from Mr. McLean to Ed Somers, Associate Planner, list-
ed as Exhibit 1 within the Agenda packet. Councilmember Petruzzi said Mr. McLean contends that
the ADB ignored his concerns concerning possible damage to the trees, as well as a possible bond
to insure the contractor's actions does not kill the trees. Councilmember Petruzzi asked if any
action has been taken to date to address those concerns. Mr. Wilson said he was not in attendance
at ADB meetings concerning this issue, therefore cannot give an answer.
Testimony of the Applicant
Bruce Goodnight, 727 Sprague Street, said he has tried to mitigate all of the concerns of the
neighbors. Mr. Goodnight said the property in question has been zoned multi -family since the
early 1960's, and feels every property owner has the right to develop their property for what it
is zoned for.
Testimony of the Appellant
Lawrence McLean, 7732 195th Street S.W., said he is not opposed to the zoning of the property.
Mr. McLean said he is opposed to the specific design, as he does not feel it is compatible with
the narrowness of the lot. Mr. McLean said he and the majority of the Copperfield Village Condo-
minium dwellers feel the 66 foot wide lot is to narrow for the proposed design. Mr. McLean said
the ADB did not do anything to rectify the potential damage to the trees on his property. Mr.
McLean feels the arborist's recommendations have not been incorporated into the plan. Mr. McLean
FINAL COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES
Page 6 June 16, 1992
said he and the majority of the Copperfield Condominium owners, by petition, are asking that the
City revoke the permit to build, and ask the developer to design a more appropriate structure.
Mr. McLean referenced Exhibit B from AP-92-72, which was earlier presented to the City Council.
City Attorney John Wallace noted that Exhibit B from AP-92-72 is incorporated as Exhibit B in the
present proceeding as well.
Public Testimony
Alex Muir, 7821 196th Street S.W., resident of Copperfield Village Condominiums, said the pro-
posed project will severely impact the privacy of the condominium dwellers. Mr. Muir said the
condominium dwellers are not against development on the property, however, they do feel the nar-
rowness of the lot makes the design of the project in question incomparable and inappropriate.
Councilmember Earling asked Mr. Muir on the number of units contained within Copperfield Village
Condominiums, and Mr. Muir replied 12.
Brian Goodnight, 727 Sprague Street, said the subject property is actually zoned for a 9-plat,
and it has been scaled down to a 7-plat. Mr. Goodnight said the applicant has worked diligently
to come up with a good design and at the same time, mitigate potential problems.
With no other member of the audience wishing to come forward, Mayor Hall closed the audience
portion of the property.
Council Discussion and Deliberation
-Council President Palmer said the petition refers to an encroachment of roots, chimneys and pati-
os into the setback. Council President Palmer said his recollection is that sections of the Code
would address those particular items, and asked Jeff Wilson, Planning Supervisor for confirmation
of this statement, and Mr. Wilson confirmed the statement.
Council President Palmer said property owners have specific rights to use and enjoy their proper-
ty. Council President Palmer said it is the opinion of the licensed arborist that the trees will
survive, although they might incur some stress. Council President Palmer said half of the drip
line of the largest tree exists on Mr. McLean's property, which represents 50% of the area that
the tree can be irrigated from. He said there is a five foot strip designated on the applicant's
strip which will also be irrigated so the tree would receive water it might not have other wise
received from natural rainfall that would have gone outside the dripline. Council President Palm-
er said the proposal states that the asphalt paving area is proposed to be 24', but Staff has
stated that normal street width for a two -directional lane is only 22'. Council President Palmer
said he would like to see the City reduce the 24' paved area to 22' to provide an even greater
degree of natural earth and protection for the trees in question. Council President Palmer said
the project encroaches on the appellant's property, however, the appellant's trees encroach on
the applicant's property. Council President Palmer said the Council has to weigh both of these
issues. Council President Palmer said it appears there is enough pervious surface on both proper-
ties so as to guarantee that the trees have a better chance of survival.
Councilmember Hall doesn't see how making the strip two feet wider would help the trees at all.
He doesn't.think this is a decision the Council should make since they are not experts in this
area.
Councilmember Petruzzi said he is hearing through testimony, that the corrective measures recom-
mended by the arborists have not been fully addressed.
Councilmember Dwyer said he does not fault the applicant for not mentioning the two trees for the
fact that they are not on his property. Councilmember Dwyer said, however, a property owner has a
right not to suffer a direct loss as a result of what happens adjacent to his property. Council -
member Dwyer said in this circumstance, he views the situation where in essence, because the
trees are so close to the property line, they are trees which are required to remain. Councilmem-
ber Dwyer said if the City is not going to interpret the Code to allow one person to destroy what
their neighbor owns, then there is in essence a requirement that the trees remain. Councilmember
Dwyer said it does not make sense in this case, that there should be any less requirement placed
on dealing with trees than if they were on -site. He said there has been less required with regard
to preserving the two subject trees than there would have been required if the two trees would
have been four feet in a different direction. Councilmember Dwyer said these trees are of the
type that the City does require to remain when they choose to. He stated what should have hap-
pened is that the arborist's recommendations should have been implemented in their entirety and
all of the requirements that would have been imposed and in addition to that, if the trees had
been on site and required to remain, it should have been required in this instance.
Councilmember Hall said this issue has already been reviewed by the ADB, Hearing Examiner, and by
FINAL COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES
Page 7 June 16, 1992
Staff. Councilmember Hall said the Council should be careful in overturning decisions by these
bodies as they are the experts. Councilmember Hall said all of these bodies have said that the
trees can be saved, and feels the Council should simply uphold the Hearing Examiner's decision.
Councilmember Earling said the Growth Management Act will dictate that cities will have to find
ways to deal with mitigation. He stated the subject property is a tough piece of property to
develop and feels the developers have made a sincere effort to design an appropriate building,
and have also attempted to mitigate certain circumstances. Councilmember Earling agrees with
Council President Palmer that the 2' strip should be widened to accommodate the trees. He said he
would like the Council to find a way to work with the builder and still recognize the plight of
the adjoining residents.
Councilmember Petruzzi said Councilmembers are not arborists and by arbitrarily moving a line 2'
might not be accomplishing anything. Councilmember Petruzzi said he doesn't feel there is any-
thing wrong with upholding the appeal with specific instructions to the ADB to work towards a
negotiated mitigation.
Councilmember Hall feels the Hearing Examiner and the ADB have taken the testimony of the
arborist into consideration when they approved the project, and feels the Council should listen
to the experts.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT PALMER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER EARLING, THAT THE DEVELOPER BE REQUIRED
TO REDUCE THE PAVED AREA WITHIN THE DRIP LINE OF THE TREES SUCH THAT THEY WOULD BE PROVIDE A
SEVEN FOOT UNPAVED AREA FROM THE EAST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY INWARD AND THAT THE UNPAVED AREA BE
FULLY IRRIGATED. FROM THAT POINT OUTWARD, THE SYSTEM OF AGGREGATED PAVERS RECOMMENDED BY THE ADB
WOULD CONTINUE TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL AREA WHERE WATER CAN REACH THOSE TREES.
Under discussion, Councilmember Hall asked Council President Palmer how far the pavers should go,
and Council President Palmer said they should go to the full recommendation of the arborist.
Councilmember Dwyer said if he voted in favor of the motion, would there be anything that would
keep someone from driving a bulldozer within three or four feet of the tree, and Council Presi-
dent Palmer said he would be willing to include this language in the motion. Councilmember Dwyer
said one of his primary concerns is the City didn't impose any requirements with regard to what
happens during construction. Council President Palmer said he is willing to receive input from
Staff on whether they feel this could be accomplished.
As there was a motion on the floor, COUNCILMEMBER DWYER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER
PETRUZZI, TO SUSPEND THE RULES TO ALLOW COUNCIL TO RECEIVE INPUT FROM STAFF. MOTION CARRIED.
Jeff Wilson, Planning Supervisor, clarified that Staff cannot determine whether ADB has followed
the ar'borist's report, as the applicant has not yet submitted a building plan. Mr. Wilson said
Staff will review the site plan when submitted to see if they have followed all of the mitigation
measures. Mr. Wilson said it is appropriate to incorporate language stating that best management
practices should be followed in terms of methods to control the grading and site work around the
trees or to preserve the trees during construction.
Mayor Hall asked Mr. Wilson if at any point, did anyone consider having the lot line surveyed.
Mr. Wilson said to the best of his knowledge it wasn't, as it isn't normally required.
Council President Palmer said he is willing to include in his motion THAT USE OF BEST MANAGEMENT
PRACTICES DURING CONSTRUCTION AROUND THE TREES AS OVERSEEN BY THE STAFF SHOULD BE UTILIZED. THE
SECONDER AGREED.
Councilmember Dwyer asked if this is to address his concern that the trees would be protected
during construction, as if they were on site. Council President Palmer said he would have to say
no to this, as what Councilmember Dwyer is describing could set up a situation where nothing
would be allowed within the drip line including the pavers under the existing line.
As a procedural matter, COUNCILMEMBER DWYER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI, TO EXTEND
THE MEETING. MOTION CARRIED.
Councilmember Dwyer clarified that the pavers that Council President Palmer is describing are the
pavers on the ground and not machinery. Council President Palmer replied affirmatively. Council
President Palmer said machines may have to do some leveling for the pavers to be installed, but
in doing that, they, have to use the best possible management practices to save the trees as over-
seen by the staff.
Councilmember Hall called for the question. Councilmember Petruzzi said he would like Councilmem-
ber Hall to withdraw the question so he could continue discussion. As the question was called

for, and Councilmember Hall did not withdraw the question, Councilmember Dwyer said he would vote
no so Councilmember Petruzzi could talk. COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI, COUNCILMEMBER DWYER, COUNCILMEM-
BER NORDQUIST VOTED NO, COUNCILMEMBER HALL, COUNCILMEMBER EARLING, AND COUNCIL PRESIDENT PALMER
VOTED YES. As there was a tie vote, MAYOR HALL VOTED YES, AND THE MOTION THEN CARRIED.
Councilmember Petruzzi said he had asked to be recognized, and the question was still called for.
Councilmember Petruzzi said he is offended that he wasn't given the opportunity speak before the
question was called for, as he requested. Councilmember Petruzzi believes the Council should not
be making decisions that an arborist should make, however, because he was seeing a deadlock of 3
to 3, and because Council President Palmer had put in that the system of aggregate pavers go to
the full recommendation of the arborist, that he would would vote yes for the motion. Councilmem-
ber Petruzzi said he was going to challenge the staff that the full recommendation of the
arborist be carried forward.
Council President Palmer asked the City Attorney if the Council now had to make a motion formally
upholding the appeal. Mr. Wallace said the motion made by Council President Palmer simply modi-
fies the Hearing Examiner's Recommendation, and directs Staff to prepare Findings and Conclusions
to bring before the City Council at the next meeting.
COUNCILMEMBER DWYER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT PALMER TO REINSTATE THE RULES. MOTION
CARRIED.
COUNCILMEMBER DWYER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST, TO TAKE ITEM 6 OFF THE TABLE.
MOTION CARRIED.
COUNCILMEMBER DWYER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI, THAT THE APPEAL OF THE ENVIRONMEN-
TAL DETERMINATION (SEPA) ISSUED FOR A 7-UNIT APARTMENT AT 7801 and 7807 196TH STREET SOUTHWEST
(APPELLANT: LAWRENCE MCLEAN; APPLICANT/APPELLEE: BRUCE GOODNIGHT/FILE N0. AP-92-72) BE DENIED.
MOTION CARRIED.
HEARING ON APPEAL OF HEARING EXAMINER DECISION REGARDING VARIANCE AT 7522 156th STREET SOUTHWEST
(APPELLANT: RICK WUR EMAN E /A LIC RIG M E _ _6 _ _
Councilmember Dwyer referenced a letter indicating that the Applicant and Appellant have reached
an agreement on this appeal as well as the appeal on the next agenda item. Councilmember Dwyer
inquired on the process the Council should follow if the Council decides to let the two parties
settle the matter outside the hearing process.
City Attorney John Wallace said the hearing process could be adhered to and the letter of agree-
ment could act as a modification to the Hearing Examiner decision. Mr. Wallace said the other
option is to remand it to the Hearing Examiner so the agreement could be reviewed.
Council President Palmer said he is concerned that the agreement may not meet the requirements of
City Code, and said that other property owners and potentially other undeveloped properties could
be affected by the agreement. Council President Palmer asked Staff for their opinion on the pro-
posed agreement.
Jeff Wilson, Planning Supervisor, said Staff hasn't had ample time to review the document and
recommended proceeding with the hearing so all questions could be answered. It was noted it was
advertised as a public hearing, and citizens had signed up to speak on the issue who were not
participants of the proposed agreement. Mr. Wilson recommended both hearings (Items 7 and 8), be
combined as they both relate to the same property.
Mr. Wallace said if the Council decided to proceed with the hearing including the letter of agree-
ment, the City Council would have to find that the agreement between the two parties met the
criteria of the Code, and not approve the agreement just because the two parties have agreed.
Mr. Wallace said the letter should be treated as a joint request from the applicant and appellant.
Mayor Hall said the citizens who have signed up to speak on this issue should be allowed to ad-
dress the issue. Mayor Hall said if the Council wishes to remand the issue back to the Hearing
Examiner, it should be done so after citizens have a chance to speak.
COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT PALMER, TO REMAND THE PROPOSED SETTLE-
MENT AGREEMENT CONTAINED IN THE LETTER OF JUNE 11, 1992 ADDRESSED TO MAYOR LAURA HALL AND EDMONDS
CITY COUNCIL, SIGNED BY THE REPRESENTATIVES FOR THE APPLICANT AND APPELLANT, BACK TO THE HEARING
EXAMINER FOR CONSIDERATION.
Under discussion, Councilmember Dwyer, said he does not think this is a wrong decision, however,
would like to hear the testimony of those people who signed up. COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI WITHDREW
HIS MOTION, AND THE SECONDER AGREED.

Public Testimony
Keith Dubendorf, 15600 70th Ave. West. said if the variance is allowed, it would encroach on the
view corridor.
Councilmember Petruzzi said the applicant and appellant have proposed an amicable agreement, and.
Mr. Dubendorf said he is not aware of the contents of the agreement.
Mark Clark, Attorney with Wurdeman & Tesch, said he is filling in for Rick Wurdeman, who is the
representative for the Appellants. Mr. Clark said the applicant and appellants have a reached an
amiable agreement which is described in the June 11 letter. Mr. Clark said the agreement appears
to allow the view corridor to remain intact.
City Attorney John Wallace asked Mr. Clark Attorney for the Appellant, if he objects to remanding
the entire matter to the Hearing Examiner, Mr. Clark replied negatively, however, Mr. Clark feels
the proposal is consistent with the Hearing Examiner's decision.
Mr. Wallace asked Beth Clark, Attorney for Mr. Summers, if she had any objections to remanding
the entire matter to the Hearing Examiner. Ms. Clark encouraged the Council to make a decision
tonight, in order to avoid further delays. Ms. Clark said the agreement proposal is consistent
with the Hearing Examiner's decision. In addition, Ms. Clark said, Mr. Summers has added a cap
on the height limit in order to protect the view corridor as well as the pedestrian corridor.
Betty Rusnak, 15620 72nd Ave. West, said she lives south of, this property and has not heard any-
thing about the proposed agreement. Ms. Rusnak said her concern is that the only open spot where
156th comes straight through the bluff. Ms. Rusnak said this area must remain open so emergency
vehicles have access.
Craig Summers, 16228 70th Place W., Edmonds, Applicant/Appellant, feels adequate public postings
of the hearings would have rectified the lack of information. Mr. Summers said the proposed agree -
meet was agreed upon by the three neighbors who are mostly closely affected by the view impact.
Mr. Summers said he would like the City Council to make a decision, and not remand it to the
Hearing Examiner. Mr. Summers said the City Council does have the capability to make a decision
based upon the information provided.
Councilmembers discussed the proposed agreement, and decided to proceed with the public hearing
and not remand it to the Hearing Examiner.
COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER DWYER, TO REINSTATE THE RULES. MOTION
CARRIED.
In light of this, COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI WITHDREW HIS MOTION TO REMAND THE ISSUE TO THE HEARING
EXAMINER AND PROCEED WITH A PUBLIC HEARING. THE SECONDER AGREED.
Under discussion, Council President Palmer said he is uncomfortable with the fact that some mem-
bers of the audience are not aware of the contents of the proposed agreement between the appel-
lants and the applicant. Council President Palmer said there isn't a Staff report that says the
proposed agreement meets with Code requirements 100%. Council President Palmer said Council
doesn't know what the Hearing Examiner recommendation would have been to whether he feels the
proposed agreement is within the parameters that he set. Council President Palmer said he would
vote against the motion for that reason.
Mayor Hall said the proposed agreement could be read into the record.
Councilmember Dwyer said his concern is that the City is forever asking people to resolve their
problems outside of the hearing process. Councilmember Dwyer said in this instance, the applicant
and appellants have solved their differences at some expense. Councilmember Dwyer said he is
concerned with remanding it to the Hearing Examiner which would essentially undo their work and
make them incur additional expenses. MOTION CARRIED with Council President Palmer voting no.
Mayor Hall asked the City Council to reveal any ex-parte communications or appearance of fair-
ness. Councilmember Petruzzi said Beth Clark, attorney for Mr. Summers, works for a law firm who
does approximately 90% of the legal work for his place of employment. No other revelations were
made.
Mayor Hall asked members of the audience if they challenged the participation of any Councilmem-
ber. No challenges were made.

Staff Report and Recommendation
Jeff Wilson, Planning Supervisor, asked the City Council if both hearings (Item 7 and 8) could be
combined. City Council replied affirmatively.
Mr. Wilson said the Applicant had applied for a variance to allow for a new single family resi-
dence to encroach into the street setback adjacent to 156th Street S.W., to reduce the required
25' setback to a 10' setback to allow for the construction of the residence. Mr. Wilson said the
Hearing Examiner's decision on the variance application was issued on March 9, 1992, granting a
variance to reduce the street setback from the 25-feet to 20-feet. Mr. Wilson said the Applicant
appealed that decision, as he contends the Hearing Examiner erred in his Findings and Conclu-
sions. Since then, the proposed agreement has been reached, and is before the Council at present
for possible resolution to the matter. Mr. Wilson read the letter dated June 11th into the
record. The letter outlined the proposed agreement/settlement between the Applicant and the Appel-
lants. The letter was addressed to Mayor Hall and Councilmembers, and was signed by the legal
representatives of the parties involved.
Testimony of the Applicant
Beth Clark, attorney for the Applicant, gave a brief description of the property in question. Ms.
Clark said there is less than 25% of the site that can be used as a building pad. Ms. Clark said
the only relatively level buildable part of the site is adjacent to 156th, and that is why the
request for a variance from 156th. Ms. Clark said after the Hearing Examiner issued his decision,
the Applicant appealed the decision, as he wanted the original variance request, and the neigh-
bors appealed the decision, as they felt even a 5-foot variance would obstruct the view. Ms.
-Clark said at that point, they all sat down and came to the proposed agreement/resolution which
is presently before the City Council. Ms. Clark for a decision from the City Council.
Testimony of the Appellant
Mark Clark, attorney for the Appellants, said the agreement/resolution is consistent with the
Hearing Examiner's determination. Mr. Clark asked the City Council to approve proposed agreement.
Public Testimony
Keith Dubendorf, 15600 70th Ave. W., said many people enjoy the view corridor and feels a wall
within 10 feet of the right-of-way would be detrimental to the view.
Mark Clark, Attorney for the Appellants produced a photo, marked Exhibit 1 by the City Clerk.
The photo showed the view looking west on 156th.
Craig Summers, 162228 70th Pl. W., Applicant, said Don Carlson, Architecture, is present to show
the Mayor, City Council, and interested parties, an overlay of what the footprint looks like of
the proposed development. Council President Palmer said the Hearing Examiner states in his deci-
sion that the structure on site will have a building envelope of over 6,000 square feet. Mr.
Summers clarified his intent is to build a home of approximately 4500 to 5000 square feet. Mr.
Summers said the footprint of the proposed strucutre is 3000 square feet, and said the informa-
tion cited by the Hearing Examiner is incorrect.
Mr. Phillips, citizen of Edmonds, said he is unaware of any agreement that is being proposed. He
is pleased to hear, however, that an agreement has been reached. Mr. Phillips said he was under
the impression it was a 6000 square foot house, as defined by the Hearing Examiner. Mr. Phillips
said he is only concerned that the right-of-way be preserved.
Betty Rusnak, 15620 72nd Ave. W., said she has no objection to the structure. Ms Rusnak said she
was concerned over the future of the strip of land at the end of 156th. Ms. Rusnak said she feels
this should be left open.
Council President Palmer said according to the Hearing Examiner's report, there is 11,000 square
feet of buildable land, and the Applicant is proposing to build a 3000 square foot footprint for
the structure. Council President Palmer asked the Applicant for a reason why he is requesting a
setback if he is only utilizing a small portion of the total amount of land. Craig Summers, Appli-
cant, cited various reasons including that three out of four sides of the subject property are
limited by steep ravines.
Council President Palmer asked the Applicant if he is willing to have the agreement be a covenant
running with the land. Ms. Clark, Attorney for the Applicant, replied affirmatively. Ms. Clark
said the Applicant is also willing to withdraw the street vacation, so it could be taken off the
table for the benefit of the neighbors who are worried about the on -going public access.

Councilmember Earling said he would like to know where the appellant's homes are located with
relation to the applicant. Mr. Summers obliged. Don Carlson, the architect for the Applicant
showed the Mayor, City Council, and interested parties three drawings which showed various as-
pects of the subject property. These drawings were marked Exhibit 2, 3, and 4 by the City Clerk.

and time period for fire works. Council President Palmer said there are still requests from the
community that they be outright banned. Council President Palmer asked the City Attorney if the
City is allowed to make a total ban. Mr. Wallace, City Attorney said the City cannot ban the
sale, however, the City can ban the ignition or discharge or fireworks because of the fire dan-
ger. Mr. Wallace said the Fire Chief could declare an emergency and ban the ignition or discharge
of fireworks. Mayor Hall said she would monitor the situation.
Councilmember Petruzzi said he feels the City should now take a definitive position on banning
the discharge and ignition of fireworks because of the extreme fire danger.
