COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI, TO APPROVE THE MINUTES OF JANUARY 12 WITH THE REQUESTED CORRECTIONS. MOTION CARRIED with Councilmember Hall abstaining as he was not present for the January 12 Council Meeting. PROPOSED ORDINANCE REDEFINING THE PURPOSES FOR WHICH THE EMERGENCY RESERVE FUND HAS BEEN ESTAB- LISHED. Councilmember Kasper said he will vote against this, as he said the proposed ordinance is too L� wide open and does not contain the essence of past Council discussions which are included in past Council Minutes. Councilmember Kasper feels the proposed ordinance does not adequately describe that it is for emergency budgeted items only, and believes it might be interpreted that it is available for unbudgeted items. Councilmember Kasper said he would like to change his affirmative vote on this proposed ordinance which was voted on at the January 12 meeting. As there was one typographical error in the proposed ordinance, COUNCIL PRESIDENT EARLING MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI, TO APPROVE ORDINANCE NO. 2912 DELETING THE WORD "RESERVE" IN SECTION 1, 5TH SENTENCE. MOTION CARRIED with Councilmember Kasper voting no. At 7:10 p.m., Councilmember Nordquist arrived. AUDIENCE As no member of the audience came forward, Mayor Hall closed the audience portion of the meeting. REPORT ON THE GENERAL FUND FINANCIAL POSITION FOR YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1992 Art Housler, Administrative Services Supervisor, presented the following tabulation which showed the City's financial position at year end: 40(71 Beginning cash, 1/1/92 $219,046 Revenue 11,618,535 Expenditures (11,953,38) Deficit (115,802) Loan from Emergency Financial.Reserve Fund 132,000 Ending Cash Balance $16,198 Mr. Housler said on January 12, the City Council authorized $14,222 of the ending cash balance be used for'Phase II of the Waterfront Study. The remaining balance of $1,976 will be returned to the Emergency Financial Reserve Fund. Mr. Housler reported that retail sales tax increased by only $156,087 over 1991. Of this amount, Honda and Top Foods provided $109,158. which leaves a net growth at 2.1%. Mr. Housler said he will be providing Councilmembers with an economic outlook the following week, which will review the circumstances causing the financial crisis. Mr. Housler also referenced a newly created form attached to the Agenda Memo in which Councilmember Petruzzi requested be used for better tracking the City's financial situation beginning with 1993. Council President Earling asked Councilmember Petruzzi if the form attached to the Agenda Memo contained all of the information he previously requested. Councilmember Petruzzi replied affirma- tively.I Councilmember Petruzzi reiterated his previous prediction that the City would end up approximately $1 million dollars short at the end of 1992, and the actual amount was in fact over $1 million dollars short. Councilmember Petruzzi asked Mr. Housler when the Council would be re- ceiving linformation on revenues for January, and Mr. Housler said he will be receiving the infor- mation on approximately February 10. HEARINGION PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL OF "BOWDOINWOOD" 6-LOT PLAT AT 9215 BOWDOIN WAY (APPLICANT: onv inunicnuirTi c hit) .._o0_Ta7 Jeff Wilson, Current Planning Supervisor, said on November 19, 1992, the Edmonds Hearing Examiner held a hearing on the proposed preliminary subdivision. of approximately 1.61 acres into six single-family building lots on property located at 9215 Bowdoin Way, approximately 1,300 feet east ofl the entrance to Yost Park. The subject property is located within an RS-8 zone. On December 7, 1992, the Hearing Examiner issued his report recommending approval of the application subject to the recommendations contained on pages 7 through 9 in his report, which is attached to the Agenda Memo. Mr. Wilson displayed an overhead view foi_1 depicting the subject property. Councilmember Palmer asked Mr. Wilson if it is Staffs' conclusion that the preliminary plat application is in full compliance with the City's tree and clearing ordinances, and.Mr.Wilson said atl this time, that is true. Mr. Wilson noted that specific projects or specific requests will be Ireviewed independently on a case by case basis to determine whether or not they exceed any of the City's thresholds. Testimodv of the Applicant Ray Johnson, Applicant, 9215 Bowdoin Way, had no testimony, but referred Councilmembers to the HearinglExaminer's report and recommendation. Public Ti.esti Sid Locke, 610 Pine Street, raised concerns about adequate fire protection in the subject proper- ty and asked if the project followed Growth Management mandates. Mr. Wilson, Planning Supervisor, said the proposed preliminary plat and accompanying information was sent to all affected depart- ments, such as Parks and Recreation, Fire Department, and Police Department, and any comments received from those departments are included in the Hearing Examiner's recommendations. As no other member of the audience wished to speak on this issue, Mayor Hall closed the public portion of the hearing. COUNCILMEMBER PALMER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI, TO APPROVE THE PROPOSED PRELIMI- NARY SUBDIVISION APPLICATION SUBJECT TO THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE HEARING EXAMINER LISTED CON- TAINED IiN EXHIBIT 2 OF THE AGENDA MEMO PACKET. MOTION CARRIES. i I I L�"in.NDS CITY COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES Page 2 January 19, 1993 i EXECUTIVE SESSION As City Attorney Scott Snyder requested an Executive Session to provide the Mayor and Council 9551 Ortj with some legal facts regarding pending or threatened litigation, The Mayor and Council recessed at 7:25 p.m. to the Executive Session and reconvened in Council Chambers at 7:40 p.m. HEARING ON APPEAL OF HEARING EXAMINER'S DECISION TO DENY AN APPEAL OF STAFF'S DECISION TO GRANT A ONE-YEAR EXTENSION TO A SFTRACK AOMIUMFNT AT 794 FI M PI ACF IAPPPI I ANT- rPFrnPV TFDMAN/ADDI TrANT- Council President Earling said he would not participate in the hearing, as Leora Smith, who is not a party in this hearing, but is the previous property owner of the subject property, is an adjacent neighbor and client of Edmonds Realty. Council President Earling left the Council Cham- bers for the duration of the hearing. Staff Report Jeff Wilson, Current Planning Supervisor, said Gregory Terman (the appellant) is appealing the Hearing Examiner's decision of November 19, 1992, to the City Council. The Hearing Examiner's decision was to deny Mr. Terman's appeal of a staff decision approving a one-year extension to the approved Setback Adjustment for Winston Johnson for the residence located at 729 Elm Place. Mr. Wilson said the specific matter that was appealable was the issuance of an extension to an approved setback adjustment permit. The issue of whether or not the original setback adjustment permit should have been approved was not appealable. After review of the facts and testimony, the' Hearing Examiner concluded that: "The appellant failed to present any testimony or evidence with regard to the time extension for the setback adjustments. The appellant's appeal related to the issuance of the permit,"'and not the time extension. Mr. Wilson said it is the recommendation of Staff to deny Mr. Terman's appeal of the Hearing Examiner's decision. Testimonv of the ADDlicant John Kennedy, representative and son-in-law for the applicant, 617 Dayton, Suite 7, said the applicant is unable to attend the hearing as he had prior employment obligations. Mr. Kennedy said he would present his case, on behalf of the applicant, and asked to reserve a portion of his time to be used after the appellant's testimony. Mr. Kennedy said all of the affected property owners were aware of the original variance, includ- ing Mrs. Leora Smith who owned the property before hand. Mr. Kennedy said he believes the appel- lant is appealing the issue of an extension on that original variance. Mr. Kennedy said the appel- lant has not offered any evidence clearly stating why the extension should not be granted. Testimony of the Appellant. Gregory Terman, 745 Elm Place, distributed to the Mayor, informational materials he compiled. The Deputy City Clerk marked this "Exhibit A". Mr. Terman said according to the Edmonds Community Development Code section 20.95.0508, an exten- sion is granted by the Planning Department "based upon the staff report". Mr. Terman said thus it seems logical that in appealing an extension decision one might address errors, omissions or changes in the facts, findings or conclusions of the staff report. Mr. Terman said as dictated by that section of the ECDC, a setback, is granted in part, based on its not interfering with sur- rounding views. Mr. Terman said in the staff report, two of the five conclusions state that the setback adjustment would preserve area views. Mr. Terman reviewed the two conclusions with the Mayor and Council. Mr. Therman said his property would definitely incur view impaction, and dis- tributed three photos to the Mayor and City Council. The Deputy City Clerk marked these Exhibit B, C, and D, respectively. Mr. Terman said because of the steep slope of the rear of the subject property, the adjusted 7-1/2 setback allows the maximum height of the Johnson's proposed house to be 3 feet higher than the normal 15' setback would allow and could completely obliterate his Olympic Mountain View. Mr. Terman asked the Council to deny the extension to the approved setback adjustment permit. Public Testimony Leora Smith, 633 Main Street, said she sold the property to the Johnsons. Ms. Smith said she is in favor of the setback extension, and asked the Council to deny Mr. Terman's appeal. At 8:10 p.m., Councilmember Dwyer arrived. Terry Patterson, 721 Elm Place, said Mr. Johnson has done everything within his power to mitigate any possible problems or concerns. Mr. Patterson said Mr. Johnson has worked extremely well with neighbors, and feels the Council should deny Mr. Terman's appeal. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES Page 3 January 19, 1993 Continued testimony of the Applicant Mr. Kennedy, representative for the applicant, said the applicants stand to experience financial difficulties due to the delay in this project. Mr. Kennedy said when the applicant sold their former home, they had two years to reinvest funds. Mr.Kennedy said as that time frame is drawing near, the Johnsons will incur additional tax burdens if they are not able to have their home built in the near future. Mr. Kennedy said Mr. Therman does not have any testimony or facts which should prevent the extension of the setback. Council Deliberation City Attorney Scott Snyder noted that Councilmember Dwyer is not participating in the subject hearing .as he was not present for all of the testimony. Mr. Snyder said the information provided by Staff indicates that on September 18, 1990, the origi- nal setback adjustment was granted. Mr. Snyder said the original approval placed no time limit on the date in which a building permit needed to be obtained in order to take advantage of a setback adjustment. Mr. Snyder said City Ordinance does not have an expiration limit on setback adjust- ments. Mr. Snyder said in his opinion, the City is without legal authority to prevent Mr. Johnson from constructing a house in accordance with the past setback adjustment. Mr. Snyder said one of the rules of zoning interpretation is unless a restrictions on property are in derogation of common law property rights,and have to be strictly construed, any ambiguities are resolved in favor of a property owner. Mr. Snyder said in this case, the Johnsons would have had no notice by City Ordinance or by the decision which granted the setback adjustment that there was a time limit in which the had to act. Mr. Snyder said the City in the past, has not had a time limit on setback adjustments. In light of the Hearing Examiner's report, COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI MOVED TO DENY THE APPEAL AND UPHOLD THE STAFF DECISION TO GRANT A ONE YEAR EXTENSION TO THE SETBACK ADJUSTMENT. MOTION DIED for lack of second. I City Attorney said he has no problem with the way Councilmember Petruzzi worded his moti.on, in that it denies the appeal, upholding the application. Councilmember Petruzzi said he agrees with the fact there is no time limit, as he is just looking at the process. Councilmember Hall suggested the Council simply make a motion to deny the appeal, rather than making mention of a time limit. Councilmember Palmer said he agrees with Councilmember Hall's point, as the applicant was never under any obligation to abide by the Staff interpretation that was made on June 1st, a year and a half after the original determination was made. Councilmember Palmer said Staff may have errored in processing an application for an extension when one was not necessary. Mr. Snyder suggested the Council deny the appeal based on the City's lack of legal authority to retroactively impose a time limit. COUNCILM;EMBER PETRUZZI MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, TO DENY THE APPEAL BASED ON THE CITY'S LACK OF LEGAL AUTHORITY TO RETROACTIVELY IMPOSE A TIME LIMIT. MOTION CARRIED with Council - member Dwyer abstaining as he was not present for the full hearing. Councilmember Dwyer said he previously notified Council President Earling of his late arrival. COUNCILMEMBER PALMER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, TO DIRECT STAFF TO RETURN TO THE' APPLICANT 50% OF THEIR FEE IF THERE WAS ONE COLLECTED. MOTION CARRIED with Councilmember Dwyer abstaining for reasons stated above. I Council President Earling returned to Council Chambers. PRESENTATION OF DRAFT REPORT ON PHASE I OF SPECIAL SPACE NEEDS STUDY BY ARAI/JACKSON. S Mr. Steve Arai of Arai/Jackson said the draft report for Phase I of the Space Needs is complete P u- and a copy of the report has been distributed to the Council. Mr. Arai presented the findings of Phase I'of the report via an oral presentation and overhead transparency presentation. Mr. Arai distributed informational materials to the Mayor and Council entitled "Civic Center Space Needs - Summary Results". Included in Mr. Arai's presentation, were the following facts: 1. Present space deficiency is 25,289 g.s.f. 2. Present civic center is at 49% of industry space standards for professional office/law enforcement/civic uses. 3. Present total gross area per employee averages 223 s.f., which meets only 59% of accepted average of 380 g.s.f. per employee for professional office use. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES Page 4 January 19, 1993 4. Of total need of 67,522 g.s.f.by year 2002, 37.5% is to correct deficient space (existing shortfall) 5. Edmonds has the lowest city hall gross s.f. per 1,000 population 6. Edmonds has a high citizen -to -employee ration, 148:1. Mr. Arai discussed several scenarios in which a new Civic Center could be constructed and illus- trated these with overhead transparencies. Following Mr. Arai's presentation, he asked that Council write down their questions concerning the Draft Report and forward them to Bob Alberts, City Engineer. Mr. Arai said Councilmembers were also welcome to contact him directly. Bob Alberts, City Engineer, commended Staff in keeping the cost down on this report, as they provided the majority of the input. Mr. Alberts said a committee was formed which met regularly for several months to produce the information compiled by Mr. Arai. Councilmember Dwyer said it is time that the Councilmembers discuss amongst themselves, which direction the City is realistically going to go in and define it. Councilmember Dwyer said he has concerns that figures and office space requirements are being based upon a projected population of 60,000, resulting in a 3-story building to -house 35% more employees. Councilmember Dwyer said until the Council discusses exactly what is going to happen and what is going to be planned for regarding the City's growth, this is simply going to be another study that gets placed on the shelf. Councilmembers agreed that the present City Hall is not adequate due to many factors in- cluding cramped work space, inefficient work space, poor ventilation, etc. Councilmember Petruzzi said the City has to concentrate on todays needs first. DISCUSSION ON COMMUTE TRIP REDUCTION ORDINANCE AND TRIP REDUCTION PLAN Bob Alberts, City Engineer, said in 1991, the Washington State Legislature enacted the Commute Trip Reduction Law to improve air quality. The City is required to have, in place, an ordinance and affect any present or future employers with one hundred (100) or more full-time employees located at one work site within the City limits whose work hours begin between 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. In 1992, a Transportation Demand Management Subcommittee of Snohomish Tomorrow was formed to prepare a "model" Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) Plan with goals, objectives, and policies meet- ing the law requirements to be used in all jurisdictions' CTR plans. Also, a Trip Reduction Imple- mentation Plan for Snohomish County (TRIPS) committee was also active in 1992 to assist the Coun- ty, cities, and affected employers with the CTR plans. Community Transit was the lead on this effort. The TRIPS committee members have been working with the one employer in the City, Stevens Hospital, to understand the requirements of a CTR Plan and requirements for their own CTR Program. Councilmember Kasper said the City should be required to adopt this plan, as the City has over 100 employees. Mr. Alberts said the City is exempt as 100 employees are not housed together in one building. Councilmember Kasper feels the City should abide by the plan anyway. Mr. Alberts said Stevens Hospital has been very cooperative regarding this subject. Councilmember Petruzzi feels the 60 page document is beaurucratic, and asked Mr. Alberts what would happen if the City simply adopted the concept and did not approve the entire 60 page Plan as policy. City Attorney Scott Snyder said non -approval of this item could affect future grant money requests, as in 1993, block grants will have this policy as a stipulation attached to it. Mr. Alberts said this will appear on next week's Consent Agenda. Mayor Hall asked Councilmembers to save this packet item for next week. MAYOR Mayor Hall said she recently attended a Mayor's meeting in Everett. Mayor Hall said Jim Justin from AWC was present and talked about the legislative session. Mayor Hall said on Friday, January 22 in Olympia, there will be a hearing at the Senate Law & Justice committee regarding Adult Entertainment and Senator Gary Nelson's Bill. COUNCIL Council President Earling reminded the Council of the Communications Workshop on January 30, 1993 at the law offices of Ogden, Murphy and Wallace. Council President Earling discussed an upcoming absence and said Councilmember Nordquist would t serve as Council President Pro-Tem. COO'�� Council President Earling said he would like to hold a local retreat to discuss City business, and discussed various dates with the Council. Council President Earling asked Council if Satur- day, March 13, 1993 would be available, and the majority of the Council replied affirmatively. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES Page 5 January 19, 1993 Councilmember Nordquist referenced the Mayor Staff Meeting Minutes, and questioned the leasing of an arealat Five Corners for an antenna to U.S. West. Paul Mar, Community Services Director said the item will come to the Council at the appropriate time. Councilmember Nordquist said the City has hadlother requests for this purpose and the City has not granted the request because of the City's specific needs. Councilmember Dwyer said he was down on Olympia last Friday, and he talked with a surprising number of North King County and Snohomish County legislatures who wanted to talk about Burling- , ton-Norihern. Councilmember Dwyer asked if the City has learned if AWC included in its �legisla- v3N tive packet, the Council's request of having the Council Secretary work directly for the Council. 0 Mayor Hall said that item was dropped. Councilmember Dwyer said he would like to invite someone from AWC` to come before the Council to talk to the Council about why it was dropped. 1' v Council ember Palmer said CT was provided a presentation by Burlington Northern and asked if that same presentation would be made to the Council. Council President Earling said he would schedule that some time in February. Councilmember Palmer referenced a memorandum from the City Clerk regarding a correction to the December] 22, 1992 Council Minutes. COUNCIL PRESIDENT PALMER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI,, TO AMEND THE DECEMBER 22, 1992 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES TO INCLUDE THE SEND HALF OF A MO- TION THAT WAS NOT PRESENT IN THE ORIGINAL APPROVAL MINUTES. MOTION CARRIED. The second half of ^� the motion is as follows: "IN DOING THAT, THE COMBINED VALUE OF THOSE REDUCTIONS IS $3009880; THAT, COMBINED WITH THE ADDITIONAL $24,000 OF REVENUE THAT WE HAVE NOW SHOWN ON THE COVER MEMO FROM STEVENS HOSPITAL, PUTS US WITHIN $7,120 OF REACHING THE $332,000 FIGURE; AND THAT REMAINING \V� $79000 BELIEVE, WILL BE MADE UP BY THE REVISIONS TO THE SNO-ISLE CONTRACT IN THOSE SAVINGS.
