Council President Petruzzi stated this item will be removed from this evening's agenda and placed on the April 25 agenda for 10 minutes discussion. Because the agenda for April 25 is already full, he requested that the April 25 meeting begin at 6:45 p.m. Mr. Mar's second request was to add an item to the agenda in place of the one just removed. It is a request for the City Council to support in concept the Interlocal Agreement between the City of Edmonds and Snohomish County concerning the annexation of Snoline-Forshee and Gate -Eaton areas.

AUDIENCE Heather Bucklin, 545 Forsyth Lane, Edmonds 98020, stated she is present as a concerned member of the SEIU Local 6 Union. She reminded the Council that two weeks ago they submitted a petition to the City Council asking that the settling of a fair contract be expedited. At this time there has not been a meeting �J held between the City and the Union. Ms. Bucklin stated she hopes the contract can be settled as soon as possible considering the fact negotiations have been taking place for over 4 months. Brent Hunter, Personnel Manager, stated the City will be meeting with SEIU on Thursday. This was scheduled two weeks ago; the date was set by the Union representative. Kevin O'Morrison, 10120 240th Place SW in Ardenwood, requested that when Item 7 on the agenda, regarding annexation, is discussed he would like to be informed of what the procedures are for annexation. He would also like to know what are the advantages and disadvantages, and how such an annexation comes about. Mayor Hall suggested Mr. O'Morrison meet with Jeff Wilson, Current Planning Supervisor. Scott Snyder, City Attorney, explained that the meeting on tonight's agenda is a required meeting with the proponents of the annexation. The purpose of the item on tonight's agenda is to meet with the proponents of the annexation and to consider the boundaries of the proposed annexation. A public hearing will be held on May 2 which is for the purpose of hearing all points of view on the subject. Natalie Shippen, 1022 Euclid, Edmonds, inquired about the proposed additions to the existing ferry terminal. In an August 23, 1989 letter, the City stated its goal that the existing terminal not have a second slip, there be no dock expansion, and no overhead loading. A subsequent report that Ms. Shippen just received states there will be overhead loading improvements and that construction is to begin taking place in late 1995. She asked if the City Council has reversed its position on the decision that was made in 1989 that they would oppose view blockage in permitting an overhead loading ramp that is a permanent structure. Councilmember Kasper responded they have not changed the "four nos". Council President Petruzzi commented a factor that will come in to play is whether or not the City has any authority over this matter. Ms. Shippen requested that a public hearing be held on this matter. She does not believe that many residents are aware that a structure of this size is due to go in at the ferry dock beginning late this year. Paul Mar, Community Services Director, stated the report referred to by Ms. Shippen was submitted in May 1994. The particular project referenced will have to go through the permitting process, including shoreline permits. The anticipated schedule for that project is that construction would not happen until 1997. Approved City Council Minutes April 18, 1995 Page 3 Don Melton, 24232 100th West, Edmonds, asked if it would be possible to move Item 7 to the next part of the agenda. Mayor Hall responded that the agenda has already been approved. She anticipated it would be about 15 minutes before Item 7 will be discussed. Bette Bell, 21006 80th Place West, Edmonds, was present to speak about the Edmonds Summer Market. They have requested that the market location be changed due to unpredictable circumstances, and out of the need they feel for the market to have stability and continuity. The market was very successful last year and they would like to continue this as an Edmonds tradition. The area they would like to relocate to is at 5th Avenue between Main and Bell. It would not interfere with the intersection around Centennial Plaza. Ms. Bell further stated they would like to have permission to use the parking lot at the Financial Center which she understands is under a state of transition. They would like permission to use the area between 5th and Bell, and will work towards the use of the Financial Center parking lot. They also are aware that during the weekend of the Taste of Edmonds this area is not available, and it is their intent to not have a market that weekend. Council President Petruzzi informed Ms. Bell that this matter is on the Council Agenda for April 25. Farrell Golden, 18401 High Street, Edmonds, addressed the Council concerning trees on Olympic View Drive. She has noted a lot of trees marked for cutting by the PUD. Ms. Golden stated her neighborhood is e very concerned because it will look like a "clear cut". She requested the Council consider discussing this issue at a later date. l SV Paul Mar, Community Services Director, stated the trees were marked by the PUD for the purpose of studying the possibility of candidate trees to be cut down. The PUD, the Snohomish County Parks Department, and the City of Edmonds Public Works Department will meet in the next week to look at a plan in terms of orderly tree management in the Olympic View Drive area. Once a technical analysis has been done, there will be a meeting with the residents in the area to talk about what trees will be cut before anything happens. 4. PROCLAMATION ON "EARTH DAY" Mayor Hall presented the proclamation to Noel Miller, Public Works Superintendent. The proclamation recognized Earth Day as being observed annually to promote awareness of our planet's ecosystem and the importance of preserving its integrity through education and wise stewardship. Mayor Hall proclaimed Saturday, April 22, 1995 to be Earth Day in the City of Edmonds. Mr. Miller stated Steve Fisher, Recycling Coordinator, would have been present to receive this proclamation, however, he is involved with an Earth Day program going on at this same time. He highlighted further activities planned in recognition of Earth Day, including a forest ecology walk at Yost Park on April 22, and at the Underwater Park there will be a clean-up activity and marine life display on the same date. 5. PROCLAMATION ON EARTHQUAKE PREPAREDNESS Mayor Hall presented the proclamation to Lynn Gross representing ESCA. Mayor Hall proclaimed April 1995 to be Earthquake Preparedness Month in the City of Edmonds, and called upon all citizens to enhance their knowledge and awareness of proper safety measures to follow before, during, and after an earthquake. Approved City Council Minutes April 18, 1995 Page 4 Ms. Gross stated ESCA works all year to assist cities in becoming better prepared to deal with all types of emergencies, including earthquakes. As part of the renewed commitment for the month of April, and to show support for Earthquake Preparedness Month, there will be a large full-scale exercise occurring on April 26 in the South County area. The seven cities in South County, area hospitals, area school districts, public utility companies, and a variety of private businesses and organizations will participate in this exercise. Ms. Gross informed the public that on April 26 there will be a lot of emergency vehicles visible, and various information will be posted in a variety of areas throughout the neighborhoods. In addition, it is important that the community be prepared to deal with an. emergency. Citizens are asked to be aware that any city only has enough emergency resources to deal with day-to-day emergencies. Anytime something large occurs, cities will be overwhelmed with the things they need to respond to. Ms. Gross encouraged the public to be prepared to deal with their own emergencies for at least three days. 6. PRESENTATION OF RESOLUTION AND PLAQUE TO ROGER DALZELL IN RECOGNITION OF 30 YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE CITY OF EDMONDS Tom Miller, Police Chief, requested Roger Dalzell and his wife, Judy, step forward to receive the presentation. Police Chief Miller stated Mr. Dalzell is celebrating 30 years with the City as an employee. „n Mayor Hall presented Resolution No. 813 to Mr. Dalzell, The resolution commended him for 30 years of service and highlighted his career with the City. He started the Business Watch and Neighborhood Block Watch Programs, expanded the Crime Watch Program, and was selected in 1992 by the State of Washington Crime Prevention Association as its Crime Prevention Practitioner of the year. Police Chief Miller presented a plaque with the City seal to Roger Dalzell, Crime Prevention Officer, for 30 years of dedicated service, April 8, 1965 to 1995. Chief Miller informed all present that a reception will be held on May 8 at 3:00 p.m. in recognition of Mr. Dalzell. 7. MEETING WITH PROPONENTS OF PROPOSED EXPANDED ANNEXATION BOUNDARIES FOR THE SHERWOOD VILLAGE - WOODWAY MEADOWS - HOLIDAY HILL AREAS (FILE NO. AX-95-24) Jeff Wilson, Current Planning Supervisor, provided a history of the proposal. On March 21, 1995, the ,i Council met with the proponents and approved in concept the boundaries for an annexation in the 9s Sherwood Village, Woodway Meadows and Holiday Hill area. With that approval, staff was to bring back a resolution to authorize putting this matter on a ballot for an election method type of annexation. Subsequent to that meeting staff received several petitions signed by property owners living west of 100th Avenue West, but outside the original annexation boundaries, regarding expansion of the boundaries. After consideration of these additional petitions, Council set this meeting date to meet with all the petitioners to review and discuss any changes to the previously approved annexation boundaries. The purpose of this meeting is to discuss with the annexation proponents the following issues: (1) Whether or not the Council wishes to pursue annexation of the area; (2) Determination of the boundaries of the annexation area; (3) Zoning and Comprehensive Plan designation for the annexation area; and (4) Whether or not the proposed annexation area will be subject to the existing bonded indebtedness of the City. Mr. Wilson further reported a public hearing has been scheduled for May 2 at which time a resolution will be brought forth. At that meeting, it is intended to address questions regarding expenditures and revenues generated by the areas in order to look at a total impact cost of annexation. Approved City Council Minutes April 18, 1995 Page 5 Responding to questions of Councilmember Fahey, Mr. Wilson stated the total population of the original proposed area of annexation and the expanded area is about 1200 (500 from Sherwood Village, Woodway Meadows and Holiday Hill, and 700 from the expanded area). About 15% of the residents of the expanded area signed petitions. Dorothy P. Gross, Woodway Meadows, 10615 237th Place SW, provided some statistics. Woodway Meadows has 59 households with an estimated 105 voters. The petition submitted to Council on February 21 included 48 signers from Woodway Meadows. Subsequent phone contacts with residents have furthered strengthened the support for annexation. To date, 51 of the 59 households have been contacted (86%), and 74 of the estimated 105 voters (701/o) have been contacted. Most of the residents were clearly in favor of annexation. Ivar Eines, Sherwood Village, 10530 Nottingham Road, Edmonds, stated he is pleased to see that additional communities and local citizens want to join Edmonds. He shared information he researched regarding real estate taxes noting the taxes in Edmonds are lower than what is paid in the County. Mr. Eines did raise a concern that a new area is being suggested to be added to the annexation proposal submitted by his group, and he is not sure about the over all support that is there. He does not want to see his petition fail by taking in a larger group that he is not sure has the support. Mr. Eines suggested holding concurrent elections for annexation, one for the area already considered (Sherwood Village, Woodway Meadows and Holiday Hill), and a second annexation election for the expanded area. Mr. Eines said that if the Council decides to go with the larger area, he stated he will support it and will work to help all to become part of the City of Edmonds. James Reynolds, Holiday Hill, 10608 231st SW, Edmonds, commented if there is a mail ballot, he would hope the ballots could be counted separately for the originally proposed area of annexation and the expanded boundaries area. If it is not possible, he understands and will do whatever he can to have the whole area annexed. Gloria Sadler, Forest Glen, 24107 104th Place W, Edmonds, asked the Council to consider extending the boundaries of the Sherwood Village, Woodway Meadows and Holiday Hill annexation petition to include Forest Glen area. In the last vote for annexation about 4 years ago, Forest Glen had a higher percentage of yes votes than Sherwood Village. Ms. Sadler stated the new families in Forest Glen are young families and they are in favor of annexation. Earl Webber, Forest Glen, 10602 243rd Place SW, Edmonds, stated he is in favor of annexation. Betty Thompson, 10222 244th Street SW, stated she lives in an area known as Thompson's Addition, east of Forest Glen. She stated they have not had an opportunity to organize their area, but they did have people cover Ardenwood, Autumn Place, Thompson's Addition and Richmond Park Homes gathering signatures in a hurry in order to get on this agenda tonight. She would like to be a part of Edmonds and be able to participate in local government. Matthew Hume, 19706 20th Ave. NW, Shoreline, stated he is an intern for Congressman Rick White. He commented it would be economically sound and a good idea to bring this area into the City. It would bring down their property taxes and would hopefully remove a layer of government for the people. It would bring more local control to the area. Approved City Council Minutes April 18, 1995 Page 6 Bob Surface, 9917 242nd Place SW, in Autumn Place. He clarified that his neighborhood is in the proposed boundaries, and stated they do want to be annexed. Mr. Wilson stated it is staffs recommendation that the Council adopt the boundaries outlined on Exhibit 3 which includes the expanded boundaries; secondly the annexation area should be subject to bonded indebtedness of the City (the City does not have any bonded indebtedness); and third, the resolution that would come back would adopt comparable zoning and land use designations to those currently existing under the County. COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT PETRUZZI, THAT A RESOLUTION BE PREPARED TO INITIATE AN ELECTION METHOD ANNEXATION. THE RESOLUTION SHOULD CONTAIN A METHOD TO ESTABLISH THE BOUNDARIES OF THE ANNEXATION AREA AS SHOWN ON EXHIBIT 3; THAT THE ANNEXATION SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO THE EXISTING BONDED INDEBTEDNESS OF THE CITY; AND THE CITY SHOULD ADOPT COMPARABLE ZONING AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATIONS FOR THE AREA AS CURRENTLY EXIST UNDER THE SOUTHWEST SNOHOMISH COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN; AND THAT A HEARING DATE OF MAY 2 BE ESTABLISHED FOR THE PROPOSED ANNEXATION. Councilmember Earling inquired about the possibility of having a concurrent election for the two suggested areas. Mr. Wilson stated by treating the areas separately in a concurrent election, the Boundary Review Board (BRB) may be concerned that there is the possibility that only the expanded area would pass, and this would create an island. Council President Petruzzi asked if councilmanic bonds fall under bonded indebtedness? City Attorney Snyder stated councilmanic bonds are paid from general revenues and are not part of what is considered as the bonded indebtedness of the City. At the current time the City does not have any bonded indebtedness. Council President Petruzzi cautioned the proponents of the annexation area that the Aurora Marketplace Annexation is being challenged by Fire District 1, and that is as yet unresolved. This issue needs to come to a satisfactory resolution in order for the annexation to be viable. Councilmember Kasper asked that the comparable zoning be defined. Mr. Wilson stated generally the entire area is zoned single family. There is R-9600 in the County with the comparable in the City of RS-8. There is a PRD-8400 in the County with the comparable in the City of RS-8. Finally, there are two small commercial properties identified as NB (Neighborhood Business), and under the City the designation would be BN, a comparable neighborhood business designation. Councilmember Earling questioned how the BRB would view an application for annexation if only the original Sherwood Village, Woodway Meadows, Holiday Hill areas were included, and chose not to proceed at the same schedule with the other added section. Mr. Wilson stated his opinion that the City can justify the annexation of just the smaller area, that it does provide for logical boundaries, and that it helps to eliminate the irregular boundaries that exist. He believes it would be acceptable to the BRB. Mr. Earling commented he believes it might be better to pursue the first annexation and ask the people in the expanded areas to continue to organize and come back with the proposition when they are more fully confident that their areas are interested in annexing also. Councilmember Fahey concurred with comments made by Councilmember Earling. City Attorney Snyder stated the City Council has already authorized the preparation of a resolution for the Sherwood Village, Woodway Meadows and Holiday Hill areas. If the Council wanted to separately Approved City Council Minutes April 18, 1995 Page 7 authorize a preparation of a resolution for the expanded boundaries, Mr. Snyder suggested bringing back that resolution plus a resolution of intent of the Council stating in a straight forward fashion to the Boundary Review Board that it would be the City's intent to annex the first area if it passed, to annex both areas if passed, but the City would not exercise its option to annex the expanded area alone if only that annexation passed. AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION COUNCILMEMBER EARLING MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST, TO AMEND THE MOTION TO HAVE TWO RESOLUTIONS BROUGHT BACK TO THE COUNCIL REQUESTING AN ELECTION: ONE RESOLUTION FOR AREA "A", AND A SECOND RESOLUTION FOR AREA "B"; THERE WOULD BE SEPARATE PUBLIC HEARINGS THAT EVENING; ALSO BRING BACK A RESOLUTION OF INTENT ON THE PART OF THE CITY COUNCIL STATING THE CITY WOULD ANNEX AREA "A" IF IT PASSES, ANNEX AREAS "A" AND "B" TOGETHER IF IT PASSES, BUT WOULD NOT EXERCISE ITS OPTION TO ANNEX AREA "B" IF IT PASSED ALONE. THE AMENDMENT INCLUDES THE THREE ELEMENTS OF THE MAIN MOTION. Councilmember Hall expressed concern that if an overwhelming amount of votes was received in Area "A", it would be very helpful to Area `B". He would not like to jeopardize that by bifurcating the areas. Councilmember Earling stated the reason for the amendment is to acknowledge that Area `B" has not yet had the same opportunity to organize; also, while there may be a stronger yes vote in Area "A", they are out -numbered by about 200 in Area `B". Councilmember Petruzzi stated he will vote for the amendment but it will be reluctantly; he believes there will be an overwhelming approval in Area "A" that could help carry Area `B". City Attorney Snyder suggested bringing back a package to the Council that contains Resolutions for Areas "A" and `B", along with a Resolution of Intent, and an option to annex all of the areas. He further suggested advertising it for public hearings for "A",. `B", and "All of the Above", thus giving the opportunity for the Council to make that decision after the public hearing on May 2. VOTE ON THE AMENDMENT MOTION CARRIED. VOTE ON THE MAIN MOTION MOTION CARRIED. COUNCIL PRESIDENT PETRUZZI MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER MYERS, THAT THE CITY ATTORNEY BRING BACK IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE OTHER RESOLUTIONS AN ADDITIONAL RESOLUTION FOR THE ENTIRE ANNEXATION AREA AND TO PUBLISH NOTICE OF THAT AS WELL. MOTION CARRIED. The meeting recessed at 8:45 p.m. and reconvened at 8:52 p.m. 8. HEARING ON APPEAL OF ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN BOARD DECISION (FILE NO. ADB- „J� 95-18) TO DENY THE INSTALLATION OF A FREESTANDING SIGN. WHICH INCLUDES CHANGEABLE MESSAGE PORTION FOR A NEW BUSINESS LOCATED AT 7711 LAKE BALLINGER WAY (Appellant/Applicant: The Carpet Shop / File No. AP-95-33) Mr. Wilson stated the matter before the Council is an appeal by a decision made by the Architectural Design Board (ADB) related to an application for a freestanding sign. On March 1, 1995, the ADB reviewed the proposal and basically did not find fault with the proposal for the freestanding sign, however, using the criteria of the Edmonds Community Development Code did find concern related to the visual Approved City Council Minutes April 18, 1995 Page 8 clutter that might be created by the proposed sign. This was mainly created by the expansive amount of white surface area on the sign face itself. The ADB found concern about the amount of light or glare that would be generated by that white surface area as well as the visual clutter that the blank area might create. Therefore, the ADB moved to deny the request for the freestanding sign. Mr. Wilson also referred to a letter turned in to the City Clerk's Office on April 17. It has been presented to the Council tonight and was not included with the original packet. The letter is from a business owner in the vicinity stating support for the ADB's original decision. Mayor Hall opened the hearing at this time. Jim Sterling, 14533 Wallingford N., Seattle, is the President of The Carpet Shop. He stated the overall size of the sign is only 4 feet by 8 feet; it is not a large sign. The portion of the sign that is a reader board only constitutes about two-thirds of the sign. The business is located on the outskirts of Edmonds; it is not in a cluttered area. Mr. Sterling feels very strongly there is a need for this sign. In order for The Carpet Shop to continue with success will be dependent upon this type of advertising. Stephen Sullivan, 7215 175th Street SW, stated he is speaking as a citizen of Edmonds, a business owner in Edmonds, and also the Chair of the Architectural Design Board. City Attorney Snyder cautioned that Washington law limits the Council to consideration of the Board. An individual member of a Board, even a Chairman, cannot interpret or provide background, guidance, or state an opinion as to the reasoning of the Board. Mr. Snyder stated Mr. Sullivan could provide feelings as a public citizen. Mr. Snyder instructed the Council to discount any statements that would be seen as interpreting the decision of the Board. Mr. Sullivan commented he believes Edmonds is renowned in the region as a place of beauty and quality. Any business that operates in Edmonds derives value from the association with the quality of the community as a whole. He feels it is the responsibility of the ADB to protect that ideal. The Board represents a cross-section of citizens and design professionals. Their job is to make subjective judgment as to what constitutes adequate quality and while these judgments are subjective, Mr. Sullivan does not feel they are arbitrary. He does not feel the decision of the ADB will hinder this business because they have applied the same standards and guidelines as they have applied to proposals in the past. Mr. Sullivan believes the ADB is protecting the environment that drew this business to Edmonds, and for that reason he asked the Council to uphold the decision of the ADB. Matt Hume, 19706 20th Avenue NW, commented restricting the use of the sign is another layer of government and government restriction that is not needed. People should be able to practice their business freely and anything they can do to bring in customers they should be allowed to do. There being no one else present wishing to address the Council on this matter, the public portion of the hearing was closed. Responding to questions, Mr. Wilson stated staffs role before the ADB is to point out whether a project is consistent or inconsistent with policies and criteria established for ADB review. The ADB draws their own conclusion and decision on applications. Mr. Wilson stated this application did meet the height, bulk and sign area standards. There were certain elements that did not comply with adopted criteria and policies. Council President Petruzzi pointed out the ADB was split on this issue. Two votes were in favor of the sign, two votes against, and due to the tie the Chairman voted no. The concern seemed to be not so much Approved City Council Minutes April 18, 1995 Page 9 with the sign but to the fact it is a reader board. Mr. Petruzzi read the comments from ADB Boardmembers from the minutes of their meeting. He agreed with the comments made by Boardmembers Leasure and Young (in not opposing the reader board sign). Councilmember Kasper inquired if there were other reader board signs in the area. Mr. Wilson responded he is not aware of any new sign proposals in that area requesting reader boards during the last year. Councilmember Fahey concurred with the comments of Council President Petruzzi. She feels the only distinction that was made was the fact the letters were removable rather than permanent. She raised concern over the sign policies. She feels they are appropriate in the "bowl" area; however, she has difficulty in putting obstacles in the way of businesses trying to locate in the community on corridors where this type of signage is appropriate. She believes the ADB has been put in a difficult position because they are interpreting policies that are in place and they cannot be faulted for their interpretation. COUNCILMEMBER FAHEY MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCHLMEMBER KASPER, TO OVERRULE THE DECISION OF THE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN BOARD. ROLL CALL VOTE: KASPER - YES; FAHEY - YES; HALL - YES; EARLING - YES; PETRUZZI - YES; �a MYERS - YES; NORDQUIST - YES. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 9. HEARING ON APPEAL OF THE HEARING EXAMINER'S DECISION TO DENY APPROVAL OF A VARIANCE TO REDUCE THE REQUIRED STREET SETBACK ON THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 7309 164TH STREET SW (Appellant/Applicant: John Gough / File No. AP-95-39 / V-95-9 Mr. Wilson stated this matter is an appeal of a decision by the City's Hearing Examiner. Specifically there was a request filed by Mr. John Gough for a vacant piece of property located at 7309 164th Street SW for a variance to allow a reduction in the north property line setback. The reduction in the setback was from 25 .feet down to 17 feet for a potential building of a single family residence. On March 6 the Hearing Examiner issued a decision to deny the requested variance. The appellant filed a letter of appeal dated March 15, 1995. Mr. Wilson reported that based on the building setback lines there is close to 5,000 square feet of buildable area on the property. Staffs recommendation to the Hearing Examiner was for the denial of the request in that it did not meet the variance requirement stipulated under the Edmonds Community Development Code. The applicant had not provided any basis to show that reasonable use of the property would not be permitted. The recommendations of the staff and concurred by the Hearing Examiner through the hearing was that this was not the minimum variance necessary in order to allow reasonable use of the property, and furthermore that the variance itself would be a grant of special privileges, not given to other parcels or property owners in the vicinity. It was felt there were other reasonable alternatives to granting the variance as requested by the applicant. Responding to questions, Mr. Wilson stated to the best of his knowledge no other variances in the neighborhood have been granted to allow any intrusion in to the required street setback of 25 feet. City Attorney Snyder brought to the attention of Council and the applicant that the Council is required to find that every one of the criteria are met in order to grant a variance. The Council has to find that special circumstances exist. Section 20.85.010(A)(2) of the Findings make it clear that special circumstances should not be predicated upon any factor personal to the owner, nor any factor resulting from the action of owner, or any past owner of the same property. It would appear that the application for this variance is predicated upon lot size. The Washington Court of Appeals and the Washington Supreme Court have held Approved City Council Minutes April 18, 1995 Page 10 that the action of the subdivider in creating the lot is one of these factors which is created by the chain of title. John Gough, the Applicant/Appellant, used the overhead projector in describing his request. His property is the smallest lot in the development; it is under -size. It does not meet the minimum lot size requirements for the area.. The curvature of the cul-de-sac reduces the depth of the lot by 15 feet. Mr. Gough referenced the following criteria used to evaluate a variance request: (1) hardship beyond the control of the applicant; (2) uniform application of zoning causing burden on one property; and (3) special circumstances include size, shape, public structures and usage. In his opinion, the cul-de-sac is for public use and because of the cul-de-sac his lot is further restricted. Mr. Gough stated the criteria says that if one lot is not shown the privileges enjoyed by others it is a reason for requesting a variance, and this is what he is basing his variance request on. The other lots in the neighborhood have rectangular lots and are much easier to develop. Larger lots do not have to sacrifice anything to a cul-de-sac. Mr. Gough further stated his request would not grant a special privilege; it would eliminate a denial of a privilege that others are enjoying in that area. It would not pose any health, safety, or other problems to the community. It would not affect and harm the neighbors. None of the neighbors have objected. He further indicated his request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Mayor Hall opened the public portion of the hearing. Dick Sanderson, 7219 164th Place SW, indicated he was not sure how the variance request would impact the other lots on the same side of the street, in particular with regard to view for the other properties. If the variance request is granted and the building is moved to the back, he suggested the proposal be looked at in terms of the impact on view for the neighbors. Mayor Hall closed the public portion of the hearing. Mr. Wilson stated there are other options to developing the site. The initial responsibility of an applicant is to design a proposal that meets the criteria and setbacks established by the City that apply to all property owners. With a building pad of 5,000 square feet, a reasonable structure can be designed to fit on that site. Council President Petruzzi commented that based on the testimony before the Council, he feels it is clear that the appeal will fail to meet three of the criteria. The applicant states in his declaration that land was taken from his lot for public use without any off -setting consideration. Mr. Petruzzi stated this lot has been given consideration for loss of land by gaining access to the property via the cul-de-sac. The applicant has a buildable area of approximately 7,496 square feet which is adequate space for a single family home. Finally, the applicant can redesign this site to conform to existing set back requirements and still have a reasonable use of the property. Mr. Petruzzi stated he believes the appeal fails in regard to special circumstances, special privileges, and also in the criteria of minimum required. The request is not the minimum required necessary for accommodation of the home; the applicant has the option of redesigning the site plan to meet current set back requirements. He stated he agrees with the analysis of staff and the Hearing Examiner in regard to special privileges. COUNCIL PRESIDENT PETRUZZI MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO DENY THE APPEAL AND UPHOLD THE HEARING EXAMINER'S DECISION TO DENY APPROVAL OF A VARIANCE TO REDUCE THE REQUIRED SET BACK ON THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 7309 164TH PLACE SW (APPLICANT: JOHN GOUGH, FILE NO. V-95-9, APPELLANT: JOHN GOUGH, FILE NO. AP-95-39). Approved City Council Minutes April 18, 1995 Page 11 Councilmember Hall suggested that if the house was redesigned by expanding the house to the west, more square footage could be obtained. If there was another request for a variance and it included only the short intrusion into the setback on the south side of the lot, he would be in favor of considering it. Councilmember Earling commented this is an unfortunate situation where there is a terrific floor plan for the owner of the property that will not fit on his lot. The Council cannot put themselves in the position to compromise the requirements of the City for this purpose. MOTION CARRIED. 10. CONTINUED DISCUSSION ON THE TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN (Continued from 4/4/95) Rob Chave, Planning Manager, discussed Level of Service (LOS). Mayor Hall noted it was 10:00 p.m. and it would be necessary for the Council to make a motion to extend the meeting. COUNCILMEMBER MYERS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO EXTEND THE MEETING. MOTION CARRIED. Mr. Chave used the overhead projector to illustrate the different Levels of Service for traffic. Levels of Service range from A through F, with A being the least traffic. The Level of Service proposals in the City were for arterials at LOS "D". He stated they are wanting to be sure the City does not get into a Level of Service " B" and "F". In looking through the tables in the Bell -Walker Study, with no action it is projected there would be some intersections and road segments that would hit that Level of Service "F". With the recommended plan and the few improvements that are there, it brings the Level of Service up. ' Mr. Chave explained that in looking at the Transportation Plan, it is important to view it as a system, not a list of streets. This is critical in understanding how Level of Service and how the transportation system functions. The Level of Service is a projection; it is a measure of standards that are being set. However, it is a constant planning process and it is subject to change. Councilmember Kasper commented the issue of width of streets is not addressed; noting the State mandates 44' width for an arterial. He referenced an exception by ordinance was required to build 9th Avenue N. as a collector street; it was the only way funds could come in. He stated a collector street has a Level of Service "C", and this is the only Level of Service that calls out a speed limit of 25 to 30 MPH. He stated 9th Avenue N. would not qualify for an arterial without ripping it up. Responding to concerns of Councilmember Kasper regarding State standards, Mr. Chave stated his opinion it is not necessary to echo exactly what the State classifications are. What they are trying to do with the classification system is to try and clarify to the citizens what the plan will do. He does not believe it will effect funding. Gordy Hyde, Engineering Coordinator, responded to further questions of Councilmember Kasper. He stated 3rd Avenue South is designated as an arterial street on the Federal Aid Urban System Map all the way into Woodway. Councilmember Kasper pointed out it is designated as a collector on the new map. Mr. Hyde stated a collector is an arterial by the Federal Aid Urban System. Approved City Council Minutes April 18, 1995 Page 12 Council President Petruzzi commented he wanted to make it very clear that Edmonds is a "24ane" city and not a "4-lane" city. The Council is trying to contain traffic and not accommodate it. 11. UPDATE BY COMMUNITY SERVICES DIRECTOR PAUL MAR REGARDING TRANSPORTATION ISSUES AND FUNDING FOR THE MULTIMODAL PROJECT Paul Mar, Community Services Director, reported that on April 27 there will be an open house/EIS scoping ^, meeting for the Multimodal Terminal project. He displayed some graphics that will be presented at that 4 meeting. Mr. Mar remarked that last August the Oversight Committee gave several policy directives. First of all, it said that the Point Edwards site would be the preferred site from the Oversight Committee perspective for the Multimodal Terminal project. Secondly, the back-up site would be the mid -waterfront site. Also, based on the consultant's analysis, looking at the access to either the Point Edwards site, the back-up site at mid -waterfront, or the Main Street site, that the access road would go over UNOCAL and then go along the waterfront. Mr. Mar displayed several diagrams dealing with access at SR-104 at Pine Street, traffic flow, the Multimodal Terminal itself, and the ferry dock. The diagrams included drawings of the Multimodal Terminal at Pt. Edwards, the mid -waterfront site, and the Main Street site. Mr. Mar stated the consultants working on the project are treating the interim ferry improvements as an entirely separate project. As part of the initial effort of Phase One, Washington State Ferries, the City, and CT agreed that it was more cost effective to have this consultant team do the preliminary assessment of the interim ferry improvements. That was done during Phase One, and is in the Task 3 report that was submitted. From that time forward regarding interim ferry improvements, the Washington State Ferries has been the lead agency on that issue. Going into the next phase of the development of the overhead loading system, they will have to follow all of the public hearing and permitting requirements. At this point they are negotiating a contract with a design team. Mr. Mar stated once the scope of work is developed he will share that information. It is anticipated construction would begin in 1997. Responding to questions concerning the easement near the ferry dock, Mr. Mar stated he will have information available for the May 2 update. 12. REQUEST TO SUPPORT IN CONCEPT THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF EDMONDS AND SNOHOMISH COUNTY CONCERNING THE ANNEXATION OF @y' SNOLINE-FORSHEE AND GATE-EATON AREAS Mr. Mar stated the Snoline-Forshee and Gate -Eaton annexation areas were brought before the Council last November and Resolutions 801 and 802 were approved by Council. Staff sent the Notice of Intention for the annexation of those two areas in December. On January 31st the City signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the County. The MOU was to develop specific interlocal agreements for each of the annexation areas. On February 5, Fire District 1 filed an appeal on these two annexation proposals. q�Tonight, Council is requested to express support for the concept of the Interlocal Agreement. The County Council is anticipated to show the same support at their meeting tomorrow morning. City Attorney Snyder recommended the Council approve the Interlocal Agreement in concept. COUNCIL PRESIDENT PETRUZZI MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER MYERS, / TO APPROVE THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT IN CONCEPT. MOTION CARRIED. Approved City Council Minutes April 18, 1995 Page 13 13. UPDATE ON FINANCIAL CENTER ACQUISITION PROCESS Mr. Mar stated tomorrow morning he will give the consultant the notice to proceed to do the visual inspections on the Edmonds Financial Center for the structural, mechanical and electrical issues in the building. That study should be available for Council review by the end of the month. Responding to questions concerning the toxic waste study, Mr. Mar suggested putting out an RFP or short list to begin the process. Council President Petruzzi asked this to be done. Mr. Petruzzi suggested Mr. McCloud of Ogden, Murphy, Wallace may have some information available to assist Mr. Mar. Mr. Mar further reported the Planning Board will review the Capital Facilities Plan concerning the acquisition of this property on April 19. 13A. ADULT ENTERTAINMENT ORDINANCE City Attorney Snyder stated since 1989 the City has off -and -on considered amendments to its Adult Entertainment Ordinance in part spurred by the efforts undertaken in neighboring cities in Mountlake Terrace and Lynnwood. Those cities have now enacted very restrictive adult entertainment provisions. In addition, because of changes in the law and the overturning of a portion of King County's adult entertainment ordinance, both Snohomish County and King County now have moratoriums in place. The other major communities from Everett on the north to Renton on the south have either restrictive provisions in place or moratoriums. The purpose of a zoning moratorium is to set aside a period in which no license or approval for the establishment of an adult entertainment business would be granted in order that the City as a part of its ongoing review of its Comprehensive Plan and its Zoning Ordinance can consider amendments to its own Adult Entertainment Ordinance. The ordinance in question would establish a limited moratorium under State law for a period of six months subject to a public hearing within sixty days at which time the City Council would be obligated to adopt findings to support a moratorium and pending the ongoing efforts of the Planning Board. In order for the moratorium to be extended to any future time an additional public hearing would be required. City Attorney Snyder stated an ordinance has been prepared. It is subject to be introduced with the insertion of June 6, 1995 as the hearing date. COUNCIL PRESIDENT PETRUZZI MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER MYERS, THAT THE CITY COUNCIL PASS A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS, WASHINGTON ESTABLISHING A MORATORIUM ON BUSINESS LICENSING, BUILDING PERMITS, AND OTHER FORMS OF DEVELOPMENT PERMITS WITH REGARD TO ADULT ENTERTAINMENT, AND PROVIDING FOR AN AUTOMATIC EXPIRATION OF THE MORATORIUM UNLESS EXTENDED PURSUANT TO PUBLIC r� HEARING. A HEARING DATE IS SET FOR JUNE 6,1995. MOTION CARRIED. 14. MAYOR Mayor Hall asked City Attorney Snyder to address the Wolfstone letter. Mr. Snyder stated there is a letter in the Council's packet from an attorney regarding an appeal of a staff decision not to site the City for growing a hedge on a small piece of property next to a condominium complex. Mr. Snyder requested authorization to respond indicating the execution of prosecutorial discretion is not an appealable issue under the City's Community Development Code. In this case, the staff has consistently recommended to the condominium owners that the City's policies regarding tree cutting have been established by the Council and have suggested that the condominium owners bring their issue to the Council at one of its Committee Meetings to discuss the policy. Mr. Snyder would like to see this issue addressed by the Approved City Council Minutes April 18, 1995 Page 14 condominium owners coming forward and addressing their concerns to Council versus a convoluted appeal procedure. It was Council consensus that Mr. Snyder write a letter addressing this issue. Mayor Hall stated she would like to review the letter. Mayor Hall reported there was a successful Business Watch held this morning in the Westgate area. ,( Further, Mayor Hall reported she addressed the volunteers of Stevens Memorial Hospital this evening. 15. COUNCIL Council President Petruzzi informed the Council there will be a satellite broadcast at 16 locations. It is called "Resolving Municipal Disputes When Talking- Makes Things Worse". The closest one will be in Kirkland on Thursday, April 27 from 7:30 - 8:30 p.m. Councilmember Myers will be attending. If any other Councilmembers would like to attend, call the Council Office to make a reservation. Councilmember Hall announced there will be a Miss Edmonds Pageant on May 6 at Edmonds-Woodway High School. He requested that the Council consider sponsoring the event in the amount of $1,000, as this person will be representing Edmonds for an entire year at civic events as well as the Seafair Pageant. Council President Petruzzi stated he believes this may need to go through the Finance Committee. Councilmember Hall expressed concern there may not be time to go through the Committee system on this matter. He believes it is a worthwhile event and something that deserves support. Councilmember Nordquist stated a memorandum from the South County Senior Center has been received requesting a 25-passenger bus. He suggested this matter go to the Finance Committee. Further, Mr. Nordquist stated the Governor was about to sign a Bill leaving the Snohomish Health District as a separate entity. Councilmember Earling noted on next week's agenda it is planned to discuss procedures on audience Ileparticipation. He hopes the discussion will be broadened to include the formatting of the meetings, and establishing agenda times. He has an ongoing concern with the length of the Council meetings. Councilmember Fahey mentioned the Community Services Committee Minutes and stated a concern over the cost of the Stormwater Ordinance. Further, Ms. Fahey offered her support for funding the Miss Edmonds Pageant. She pointed out the Pageant offers a scholarship for further education. Paul Mar, Community Services Director, informed the Council the City is serving Aurora Marketplace in terms of permits and rezones. Staff has been notified that an applicant will be coming through, and the Fire District is appealing the proposal for a change in the zone. Under normal circumstances staff relies on the City Attorney's staff to help, but in this case there is a conflict of interest involved. Mr. Mar is looking for l guidance from the Mayor and Council in terms of how to tap legal services to help on the planning issues yk / until the whole Fire District issue is resolved. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 11:03 p.m THE ORIGINAL SIGNED COPY OF THESE MINUTES, AS WELL AS A TAPED RECORDING OF ALL COUNCIL MEETINGS, CANXE FOUND IN THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE. _ Laura ' , Hall!
