3. AUDIENCE
Mayor Fahey opened this portion of the meeting to receive comments from the public. There was no one
present wishing to speak.
't 4. REPORT ON COUNCIL COMMITTEE MEETINGS OF MAY 14,1996
Councilmember Nordquist reported th I at the Finance Committee was looking into some form of taxation
Ince or revenue that could be generated from cellular towers and had received interest from other
jurisdictions. Councilmember Nordquist stated that he would be meeting with the FCC to discuss
transmission through cellular towers and would report the results of that meeting to the Council. The
other items discussed at the meeting are contained in the minutes included in this evening's packet.
Councilmember Van Hollebeke reported on the Community Services Committee meeting. (I) He stated
Comm. that Chris Chase, Developmental Director of Teen Hope, had made a presentation to the Committee
Services regarding what the organization does and how it is funded. They are going to each of the cities within
Comm.
the boundaries that they serve and asking for support. They will be coming back to ask for financial
support in the range of $2,500 to $10,000 for 1997. (2) Mr. Van Hollebekerepoited that the 3MT Task
Force also made a presentation about having an underground tunnel for pedestrians at the railroad tracks
at the present ferry site. Paul Mar offered to take the lead in organizing this project to see if this was a
realistic process. (3) Mr.' Van Hollebeke addressed the street banner policy and stated that the
Committee felt to make the policy fair to everybody that all non -City sponsored persons/organizations
that request usage of the banners would be required to pay 50%. of the City cost. (4) Mr. Van Hollebeke
also reported that there had been a great deal of audience participation regarding the Youth Fitness
Program proposal to use ' the old Public Works building. He stated it would not be appropriate for the
Council to make a commitment for using this building to any organization. until all of the other factors
have been studied and evaluated. The Committee did want to encourage the people running the program
to creatively look for alternative locations, and the Committee along with -the Parks Department would
try to look into ways to house them in some other facilities. (5) Regarding traffic control planned for
new annexed areas, Mr. Van Hollebeke stated they are looking at anticipating what the traffic flow will
be when new areas are annexed andhaving a plan in place ahead of time. (6) In fiollowing-up on
permitting and fee organizational impacts, Mr. Van Hollebeke stated this has to do with restructuring the
City Council Approved Minutes
May 20,1996
. Page 2
permit fee structure to bring it up to the 1994 Code. They also looked at factoring in 120% of the fee
structure for a commercial permit, and 90% of that fee structure for residential permitting. Further, they
are requesting an addition to their staff. It was demonstrated that the extra permit costs would off -set the
C)
cost of staffing.
Councilmember Myers spoke on behalf of the Public Safety Committee. He stated that the City Engineer
Public
Safe ty had brought a proposed ordinance prohibiting parking on narrow streets. The intent is to make sure there
Comm. is a large enough radius in cul-de-sacs and narrow streets for emergency vehicles to get in and out and
turn around. There was also a discussion on the policy on street naming. The safety aspect was
discussed. Jeannine Graf, Building Official, suggested that the street naming of new streets be taken out
of the Building Division and placed with the City Engineer because it was felt that was the proper place
for it; however, the individual house numbering would still be done by the Building Division. The other
action item discussed was the leasing of three motorcycles for $1.00/mo. for the next three years from
the Harley Davidson Company.
5. PROCLAMATION RECOGNIZING PUBLIC WORKS WEEK
Fp;b—,—,, Mayor Fahey stated tha t she regretted that the meeting was not being video taped, because it would be
I Works I nice to make all the citizens aware of Public Works Week and all the good work the Public Works
Department does. Mayor Fahey reflected on the Public Works Games that were held Friday, May 17,
between three Cities and invited the Councilmembers to participate next year. The Mayor also
acknowledged all of the important work that goes on behind the scenes to help the City run so smoothly.
She then presented and read into the record a Proclamation declaring the week of May 19 - 25 to be
National Public Works Week in the City -of Edmonds. The proclamation called upon the citizens to
familiarize themselves with the issues involved in providing public works services and to recognize the
contributions engineers, public workers and treatment plant workers make every day to the health, safety
and quality of life.
Noel Miller, Public Works Superintendent, received the proclamation and thanked the Mayor and
Council.
6. AUTHORIZATION TO SEEK ARTIST FOR CITY HALL PUBLIC ART
Artistfor Arvilla Ohlde, Parks and Recreation Manager reviewed the process that would be used to select an
City Hall artist for the art work in the new City Hall entry/lobby. She stated that the selection jury would consist
Public of the Mayor, a City Councilmember, Edmonds Arts Commission, a citizen -at -large and a professional
Art
arts consultant or artist, with staffing by Christine Weed, Arts Coordinator. The Arts Commission
approved the project budget, timeline and prospectus. The artist will be approved by t4e Arts
Commission prior to presentation to the City Council for approval for the Mayor to sign the artist
contract.
Council President Earling inquired as to the distribution/notification list for this project. Arvilla Ohlde
stated that generally the State Bids List is used as part of the State Bid Process; another way is by
publication in newspapers and sending out notification to artists that have shown interest in previous
years.
Mayor Fahey asked if there was a limit on the number of finalists. Ms. Ohlde stated that anyon e can
apply and it is narrowed down to three.

Oppeal of 7. HEARING ON APPEAL OF ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN BOARD DECISION TO DENY
ADB REQUEST TO MODIFY THE APPROVED DESIGN PLAN FOR A 12-UNIT MULTIFAMILY
Decision DEVELOPMENT (FILE NO. ADB-95-31) TO ALLOW THE COMBINATION OF TWO
AP-96-56 BUILDINGS INTO ONE (P—roper1y address: 8104 - 242nd Street SW. Appellant/Applicant: Robert
I I Koo, Tristar Enterprises, Inc. File No. AP-96-56)
Mayor Fahey described the hearing parameters in terms of the amount of time allocated to participants.
She opened the public hearing and asked Council if anyone needed to make any comments or
observations related to this matter. Councilmember Van Hollebeke reported that he has worked with Mr.
Robert Koo, the Appellant/Applicant, on one or two committees in the past. He has not had any contact
with Mr. Koo for several months and he has not discussed this project with him.
Mayor Fahey asked if there were any objections to any Councilmember participating in this hearing. No
objections were raised.
Current Planning Supervisor Jeff Wilson stated that the original project was approved in May of 1995
to allow the 12-unit buildings comprised of 5 separate structures. Adjacent to the east property line there
were to be three two -unit structures, and adjacent to the west property line there were two structures, one
two -unit structure and one four -unit structure. Using the overhead projector, Mr. Wilson further
described -the project and surrounding area. The area is a mixture of multi -family development primarily
to the west on 242nd Street. On the eastern half of 242nd Street and adjacent to the Applicant's property
is existing single-family residences. In April of 1996 the Applicant came before the Architectural
Design Board (ADB) to request a modification to the approved plan. They wanted to modify the western
buildings to go from two buildings (one four -units and one two -units), to one six -unit building. The ADB
.held a hearing on the matter and looked at the adopted City policy, specifically Section 20.10.070(A)(4)
which states that "long, massive, unbroken and monotonous building shall be avoided..." and Section
20.10.070 (A)(6) which states that "size and height of buildings should be compatible with existing
character and views of the surrounding area." The ADB felt that the proposed modification was
inconsistent with these standards. The Board denied tile proposed change.
Responding to que stions of Councilmember Petruzzi, Mr. Wilson stated there is a single-family
residence to the east of the property; there is also a single family residence on the west side of the
property. Councilmember Petruzzi inquired what . was north and south of the single-family residence on
the east. Mr. Wilson answered that south of it was the SR-104 right-of-way, and the property was
located east of the Burlington Coat Factory. He stated that this was in an area of focus when working on
the Comprehensive Plan updating process because the very eastern half of the street is all developed as
single-family and the western area is zoned for multi -family. Through that process it was. maintained as
a multi -family area; the boundary between single-family and multi -family ' is the eastern property line of
Mr. Koo's property. Councilmember Petruzzi remarked that the one single-family home is actually in a
multi -family zone. Mr. Wilson stated that he thought the property did have the ability to be developed
multi -family.
Mr. Petruzzi further inquired about the single family residence on the east side in terms of fencing or
shrubbery. Mr. Wilson stated it is required that landscaping be put in along the eastern property line as
part of the ADB review.

Councilmember Petruzzi noted that a letter was received this evening from Joseph M. Hendricks who
lives on 242nd Street SW. Mayor Fahey stated this letter was received in her office this afternoon; a
copy of the letter was provided to Mr. Koo.
Mr. Terrence Watson, 19537 55th Ave. NE., Seattle, Architect, represented Mr. Koo. Mr. Watson
supplied sets of drawings to Council and stated there was three items he wanted to draw to the Council's
attention. The first was that this is a very isolated change and it only effects the western pa�t of the
property. Secondly, the reason the change is needed is that the original design of the project had a single
stairway between the basement garage and the main floor of each pair of units. This created the situation
if there were to be locks on the doors and keys were forgotten it would be possible for someone to
become locked in the stairwell. Third, Mr. Watson also mentioned that the second lot west of this
property is a seven -unit building and they felt they are consistent with what's going on in the
neighborhood.
Mr. Robert Koo, 561 12th Ave. N., Edmonds, pointed out that on both sides of his property single-
family residences do exist, however, on the next lot over there is a seven -unit building. South of SR-104
it is all commercial with businesses such as Scott's Restaurant, Cocoa's, a tire store and car dealership.
COUNCILMEMBER MYERS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCELMEEMBER VAN
HOLLEBEKE, TO EXTEND THE HEARING BY ANOTHER 7 MINUTES.. MOTION
CARRIED.
Councilmember Nordquist inquired as to where the back door was located in the units.* Mr. Watson
stated that the units have a front door on the first floor, access through the basement from the garage and
access out on to the deck. Councilmember Nordquist said that a person would have to go out the front
door or open the garage door in order to exit. Mr. Watson agreed with this, and suggested that in a fire
emergency people might consider going off the deck and that this was not an unusual arrangement.
Council President Earling asked Mr. Wilson to clarify the zoning. Mr. Wilson stated ' that the present
zoning to both the east and west sides of Mr. Koo's is zoned multi -family RM 1.5. Both of the single-
family residences are on property zoned multi -family and have the ability to be redeveloped as multi-
family. Council President Earling asked if the property to the west of Mr. Koo's property was
approximately the same square footage lot as Mr. Koo's. Mr.. Wilson stated he had not researched that
property.
Councilmember Van Hollebeke stated he had walked the site on this date. City Attorney Phil Olbrechts
advised that under the Appearance of Fairness Doctrine, site visits are discouraged for quasi-judicial
matters. Mr. Van Hollebeke indicated he was not aware of this; he did not speak to anyone, but only
looked at the site.
Mayor Fahey opened the public portion of the hearing; no one wished to speak and the public portion of
the hearing was closed and the matter was remanded to Council.
COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILmEMBER MYERS, TO
EXTEND THE HEARING FOR 5 MINUTES. MOTION CARRIED.
Councilmember Petruzzi commented be believes the developer is attempting to'mitigate neighbor
concerns on the east side by putting up three separate buildings on that side. Regarding the west side, the
City Council Approved Minutes
May 20,1996
Page 5
reason for joining the two buildings is acceptable to him. He believes the ADB was attempting to stay
within the Code. In this case, in Mr. Petruzzi's opinion, the joining of these two buildings does not
constitute long, massive, unbroken, monotonous building concerns. Mr. Petruzzi also feels the height of
the building is consistent with the surrounding area. Councilmember Myers also agreed he did not have
a problem with the request.
Councilmember Vv%ite stated that he saw the gap between the buildings as a haven for misdeeds, noting
it creates an alley way, and with the side elevations no one would be able to observe anything in that
area.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT EARLING MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER MYERS, TO
APPROVE THE ACTION REQUESTED BY MR. KOO. MOTION CARRIED.
8. HEARING ON' ADMINISTRATIVE AMENDMENTS TO THE EDMONDS COMMUNITY
Hearing- DEVELOPMENT CODE AS REQUIRED BY THE WASHINGTON STATE REGULATORY
Regulatory
Reform REFORM ACT IN ORDER TO STREAMLINE THE LAND USE PERMITTING PROCESS BY
THE IMPLEMENTATION OF MEASURES SUCH AS LIMITING TIRE NUMBER OF PUBLIC
HE RINGS FOR PROJECT REVIEW, CONSOLIDATING PERMIT PROCESSING AND
PLACING TIME LIMITS UPON PROJECT REVIEW
City Attorney Phil Olbrechts addressed the Council and reviewed the process involved for interim
ordinances. He indicated that there are two ordinances before the Council. The ordinances seek to
accomplish meeting the requirements of the Growth Management Act for interim ordinances which
includes adopting findings justifying the interim ordinance, and proposes amendments. Mr. 01brechts
stated that the interim ordinance contains amendments to the Edmonds Community Development Code
(ECDC) which are so pervasive that it is difficult at the outset to determine whether it will really work
once it is in place. The findings also provide justification for some of the exemptions.
Mr. 01brechts reviewed with Council some of the permits which would be completely or partially
exempt. The reason the amendments were needed is because it was not practical for the Building
Division to process permits in the time limits required by the Regulatory Reform Act. This is consistent
with the experience of other cities. Also, the Engineering and Building Divisions requested that other
types of permits required by the Building Code be exempt because those permits are issued so quickly
that the Regulatory Reform Act actually slows the process down. %
The City Attorney also discussed the permits that are partially exempt. They would be exempt from all
of the requirements of the Regulatory Reform Act except for two. (1) They still have to be processed
within 120 days; and (2) the applicant must be told they have a complete permit application within 28
days. Those two requirements by state statute are still in place under partial exemptions.
Regarding complete exemptions, Mr. 01brechts stated that under Regulatory Reform it is allowable to
completely exempt development permits from all requirements if there are special circumstances that
justify those exemptions. In the findings, special circumstances have been listed.
Mr. 01brechts also indicated that in adopting the interim ordinance an amendment to the sign code that
had been previously made was left out. It is necessary to put that amendment back in. This is the second
ordinance before the Council this evening.
Mayor Fahey opene d the hearing to public participation; no one wished to testify. Mayor F ahey closed
the public portion of the hearing and remanded the matter to Council.

AU HORIZATION TO PLACE PROGRAMMERIANALYST POSITION IN NON -
REPRESENTED SALARY SCHE DULE %
Brent Hunter, Personnel Manager, stated this is a request to take the City's programmer/analyst
position fTom a union position and place it in the non -union salary schedule. Mr. Hunter reviewed the
history of having gone before the State Public Employee Relation Commission to seek the removal of the
programmer/analyst position from the bargaining unit; He was notified earlier this month that the
position was removed on the basis of confidentiality. Mr. Hunter stated that moving this position to a
non -represented position would not grant an automatic raise, but would. allow for a performance pay
increase. If the performance pay increase is granted it would come out of the Director's budget. He
further noted the position has changed and a new job description needs to be 1�oked at, although no
change in grade is proposed.

Councilmember Nordquist noted concern about statements made during the hearing earlier this evening
regarding the plans for the multi -family building which did not have back doors and the only alternative
for exiting besides the front doors or garages would be to jump off the deck. He pointed out this could
be a very difficult situation to be in.
Student Representative Nick Zitzmann agreed with Councilmember Nordquist about the back door
situation. Mr. Zitzmann then requested the Council look into having a traffic light put in at Edmonds
Way and 23 8th Street due to increased traffic.
With no further business, the meeting was adj ourried at 8:2 8 p.m.
