Mayor Naughten closed the audience portion of the meeting. HEARING OR.. APPEAL OF HEARING EXAMINER DECISION REGARDING VARIANCE FOR EXISTING DECK AT 8818 - dfl-, 188TH ST. S.W. PPELLANT/APPLICANT: LAWRENCE W. WRIGHT AP-2-90/V-36-89 Planning Division Manager Mary Lou Block reported .that on November 2, 1989, the Hearing Examiner held a public hearing on the variance request of Lawrence Wright to reduce the required rear and side yard setbacks on his property at 8818 - 188th Street Southwest to allow a sports court and deck. Ms. Block said the variances were requested after the City's Building Inspector had been out to the property to inspect another project on the site. She said the Inspector advised the appli- cant at that time that a permit was required for the sports court and deck, which had already been constructed. Ms. Block said it appeared to Staff that the sports court and deck might have qualified for a setback adjustment when they reviewed the permit application, but it became appar- ent later that the setback criteria could not be met and the applicant was advised to apply for a variance. Ms. Block said the sports court was constructed 4 feet from the rear and side property line, and the deck was constructed 7 feet from the side property line (or west property line). She noted that the setback requirement on the west property line is 10 feet, 25 feet from the rear property line, and 10 feet from the side property line. Ms. Block said the Hearing Examiner issued his decision on November 22, 1989 granting the request- ed variances for the sport court but denying the variance request for the deck encroachment. She said the applicant submitted a motion for reconsideration, which was denied by the Hearing Examin- er. Subsequently, the applicant filed an appeal seeking to overturn the Hearing Examiner's deci- sion. Ms. Block noted that a copy of the appeal letter, the Hearing Examiner's decision, a plot plan, and photographs of the deck were included in the Council packets. Ms. Block said it is the recommendation of Staff to uphold the Hearing Examiner's decision deny- ing the reduction of the side yard setback for the deck. Councilmember Hertrich inquired about fill on the site. Ms. Block said the Hearing Examiner was convinced that fill had not been brought onto the site from an outside location but had only been moved around on the site. Councilmember Palmer inquired if the height of the deck resulted from the movement of the fill. Ms. Block said the deck exceeds the height restriction because of the railing and other structures on the deck and not because of the finished grade. Larry Wright, the appellant, 8818 - 188th St. S.W., said the deck in question projects into the side yard setback by less than 2.5 feet, which is permitted by law provided that the deck is no more than 30 inches above ground level at any point. He said the deck was designed to meet that standard but because of the unevenness of the ground, the actual deck height in the side setback area varies from zero to six inches above the limit. He said if a variance is required at all, it is only for a 6 inch vertical exception. He noted that the entire section of the deck to which the variance applies is completed concealed from external view by a legal fence so there is no impact to adjoining properties. Mr. Wright said there are several structures within the neighborhood that were built without a variance. He said if those structures were constructed with a valid permit, then rejection of the requested variance would constitute a grant of special privilege to his neighbors; if they were not constructed with permits and his application is denied, he said he will be denied equal protection of the law unless the City also requires those nonconforming properties to comply with the zoning laws. Mr. Wright said the Planning Department wavered in its information and instructions to him, which contributed to the current problem. He said during initial planning phases for the project in question, he sought information from the City on what could legally be constructed in a side setback area and was quoted the "30 inch rule". On that basis, he said he designed the deck with the belief that it fully conformed to existing zoning laws without need for any -exception. He said, however, during construction a Staff member from the Planning Department made a site visit to his property and informed him that the deck would require a setback adjustment. Subsequently, he said the City reversed its position saying that the deck preserved no natural feature and EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 2 FEBRUARY 20, 1990 could have been built to meet the setback requirements and that the appropriate application was a variance application. He said Staff's decision overlooked an important purpose for the setback adjustment procedure, namely, to allow flexibility in setback requirements to allow creative de- sign. Mr. Wright noted that the City's determination of the need for a variance was communicated to him after the project was already completed. He said if he had been told about the City's requirement for a variance at the outset, or at least at the time of its earlier requirement of the setback adjustment, he could have designed the project in a different manner. Mayor Naughten opened the public portion of the hearing. No input was offered. Mayor Naughten closed the public portion of the hearing. Councilmember Kasper noted that the property in question is zoned RS-12 but the lot is only 10,000 square feet. Ms. Block said the lot is considered a legal lot unless the property owner owns contiguous property. Councilmember Kasper pointed out that the lot -is substandard. He inquired if the house was constructed prior to annexation. Community Services Director Peter Hahn said he was unsure but would research that issue. Councilmember Dwyer said he was mostly concerned about the applicant's statement that he would have designed the deck differently if he had known that a variance, rather than a setback adjust- ment, was necessary but did not learn that until after the structures were completed. Ms. Block said she did not believe anything would have been done differently because the structures were completed before the Building Inspector made an on -site visit to the property. Councilmember Hertrich noted that the applicant had stated in his appeal letter that the variance would be invisible, shielded from external view by a fence. Councilmember Hertrich inquired if a fence exists. Ms. Block said there is a six foot fence between the applicant's property and the property to the west. Councilmember Hertrich inquired if the fence conceals the deck from the next door neighbors' view. Ms. Block replied negatively. Councilmember Hertrich inquired if the deck would be visible to neighbors if it were constructed in accordance with the code. Ms. Block replied affirmatively. Ms. Block said the applicant's position that he would have done things differently if he had known a variance was necessary was a moot point because he should have obtained a variance prior to starting construction. Councilmember Palmer inquired if there is a requirement that the existing fence between the two properties remain. Ms. Block replied negatively. Councilmember Hertrich inquired if the City has granted variances to any of the adjacent neigh- bors that have structures within the setback area. Ms. Block said she was not certain without reviewing the City's records. Because the applicant had two and a half minutes remaining on his allotted time to present testi- mony, COUNCILMEMBER DWYER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST, TO REOPEN THE PUBLIC POR- TION OF THE HEARING TO ALLOW MR. WRIGHT TO USE HIS.TWO AND A HALF MINUTES. MOTION CARRIED. Mr. Wright said his contractor contributed to the problem because he did not obtain a building permit to construct the sports court and deck. Mr. Wright said changes could have been made to the deck without a significant cost to himself before the contractor was paid but now he has no leverage with the contractor.to require him to make those changes. Mr. Wright said changes can be made, if necessary, but he said it was his opinion that no external differences will occur as a result of those changes. Mr. Wright said the situation was created, to a certain extent, by interpretation of the Code by City Staff. He said'he would appreciate the concurrence of the Council in granting of the vari- ance to allow the property to remain as it is developed at the present time. Mayor Naughten closed the public portion of the hearing. Councilmember Palmer said his biggest concern was the Hearing Examiner's statement that there is a detrimental impact to the property to the west. Councilmember Palmer said he was not sure that the granting of the variance would address that issue. Councilmember Hertrich said although several properties in the immediate area have structures that do not comply with the Code, he was against granting the requested variance based on that premise. He noted that the deck was constructed without a building permit and, -therefore, the City had no opportunity to provide the applicant with the pertinent information before the deck was constructed. Councilmember Hertrich said a precedent would be set if the deck is allowed as it is presently constructed. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 3 FEBRUARY 20, 1990 COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER DWYER, TO DENY THE APPEAL. MOTION CAR- RIED. �y HEARING ON PROPOSED ORDINANCE 2755 ADOPTING THE NORTHWEST ENERGY CODE p Planning Division Manager Mary Lou Block reported that on January 31, 1990, the Washington State Legislature passed ESHB 2198 establishing a State energy code as part of the State Building Code. She said this measure mandates conservation and building standards which are essentially the same as those required under the Northwest Energy Code (NWEC). The bill calls for implementa- tion of the new energy code by each city, town and county of the State no later than June 1, 1991. She said the bill includes a provision allowing local jurisdictions to adopt the NWEC up until March 1, 1990. Ms. Block said from what Staff has learned, adoption of the NWEC will pro- vide the most benefit to the City. She said the only disadvantage of adoption the NWEC prior to the State energy code is the requirement that the City begin implementation prior to June 1991. She said the City will realize significant additional revenue for training and administration under the NWEC ($55,525) in comparison with funding under the State bill ($600). Ms. Block said local builders who construct electrically heated homes will receive $1,250 as an incentive from NWEC for any size home. She said the State bill's $900 incentive is limited to homes under 2,000 square feet, noting that the average size home in Edmonds is 2,882 square feet. Ms. Block said it is the recommendation of Staff to approve the proposed ordinance adopting the NWEC. Ms. Block noted that included in the Council packets is a summary of the two bills from the Wash- ington State Energy Office. Mayor Naughten opened the public portion of the hearing. Councilmember Kasper inquired about the cost differential per square foot to upgrade a home to the new energy standards. Dick Gorman, 18133 - 22nd Dr. S.E., Bothell, Energy Conservation Spe- cialist, P.U.D., said it will cost between $900 to $1,800 to upgrade a home under the NWEC, or approximately 50t to 60t per square foot, although it can be as high as $1.20 per square foot. Councilmember Hertrich inquired about: 1) the differences between the NWEC and the State code; and 2) why Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) is interested in pursuing energy conservation at a cost to them when the State code has been adopted and is essentially the same as the NWEC. Mr. Gorman said the main compromises that were made by the Governor's bill were to allow the use of an R-30 insulation in a single rafter vaulted ceiling as opposed to an R-38 called for by the NWEC, as well as an option to use 2x4 walls within insulated sheeting in an R-13 bat in lieu of a 2x6 wall with an R-19 insulation. Mr. Gorman said the Governor has directed that final ventilat- ing standards be developed in time for the State code to come into effect in 1991. Mr. Gorman said BPA's basic vested interest in conserving energy is an additional year and a half of generated savings that can be realized within Snohomish County. Councilmember Hertrich inquired about the difference between R-30 insulation and R-38. Mr. Gorman said the difference between an R-30 and R-38 ceiling is quite small and is only in the pennies. He said the impact, however, results from the energy savings that are realized from all of the homes that will be upgraded. Councilmember Hertrich inquired if the City could, if it opted to, implement the State code after December 31, 1991 if it decided to adopt the NWEC in the interim. Mr. Gorman replied affirmatively. Doug Herman, 321 - 3rd Ave. N., inquired about the rebate for builders under the NWEC. Community Services Director Peter Hahn replied $149,000. Mr. Herman said as a local builder, he would prefer that BPA funnel those monies back into their facility to update the hydroelectric power. Mr. Herman said the Governor has announced that ventilation standards will be reviewed over the next year and a half because he does not believe they are adequate at the present time. Mr. Herman said if the City adopts the NWEC, he, as a local builder, does not want to be held respon- sible for any liability related to ventilation problems in the interim. He believed that people will become ill if they live in homes constructed in accordance with NWEC standards. Mr. Herman noted that the State code will not become effective until June 1991, and he thought the NWEC should be reviewed further before the City opts-i6to that program. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 4 FEBRUARY 20, 1990 Councilmember Hertrich inquired if Mr. Herman believes it is dangerous to build homes without proper ventilation. Mr. Herman said adequate ventilation must exist in homes that are construct- ed to meet the energy conservation standards applied by NWEC. Councilmember Hertrich inquired if there are any regulations in existence that require a builder to provide a ventilation system. Mr. Herman said there are no regulations requiring mechanical ventilation. but he noted that the NWEC requires mechanical ventilation. Councilmember Kasper inquired about the cost to upgrade a home. Mr. Herman said it will cost approximately $1,000 to upgrade a 1,200 square foot home, and the cost to upgrade the average home in Edmonds will be between $2,800 and $3,800. Bjorn Thuesen, 322 Main St., said a majority of the homes that are constructed in the County are heated with gas because it is more economical. Mr. Thuesen said it appeared to him that the Council was not well prepared to vote on the issue because they received information just that afternoon and had not had an opportunity to review it yet. He believed the City would find itself in a position in the future of rethinking its action if it adopts the NWEC at the present time. Mr. Thuesen asked the Council to give builders an opportunity to adjust to the new energy stan- dards, preferably until July 1991. Mr. Thuesen inquired about the payback period for energy savings under the NWEC. Mr. Gorman said BPA, in conjunction with the energy offices of the different states within the four -state region, conducted a research and development project. He said the data for costs to construct a home and the energy savings that were generated through several seasons were analyzed, and the payback period for cost effectiveness was determined to be seven years. Mr. Gorman said a positive cash flow is realized from the first day of occupancy, however. He said the normal savings on an energy bill in a home with NWEC standards is approximately 40% over the existing 1986 energy code. Councilmember Dwyer inquired about Mr. Gorman's response to Mr. Herman's statement that people will become ill in homes constructed under NWEC standards. Mr. Gorman said to his knowledge, there has been no change in the Uniform Mechanical Code for ventilation in housing since it was designed in the 1950's. He said BPA is the only entity in the United States that has addressed the issue of indoor air quality. He said they have the only passive design available at the present time that will exhaust pollutants from a home under a passive mechanism while bringing fresh air back into the home at the same time. Councilmember Dwyer inquired if anyone has experi- enced illnesses in the jurisdictions that have adopted the NWEC. Mr. Gorman said not to his knowledge. Peter Held, 1410 - 51st Pl. S.W., Everett, P.U.D., said the super good cents program is the NWEC. Councilmember Hertrich asked what difference it would make to local builders if the City adopted the NWEC at the present time as opposed to adopting the State code in 1991. Mr. Thuesen said it will allow builders time to adjust to the new standards. Mr. Thuesen said some of the issues are livability in a home and health -related issues. He said homes constructed under the NWEC standards will have smaller windows. He pointed out that people in the Northwest like to have as much natural sunlight in their homes as possible. Mr. Thuesen reiterated that much more discussion needs to take place before the City adopts the new energy conservation standards. Councilmember Hertrich said he did not find that the State code enacted less stringent standards because of the climate of the Northwest. He said the NWEC and State code are essentially the same, and local builders will be required to apply the new standards in a very short time even if the City does not adopt the NWEC. Councilmember Dwyer inquired when the NWEC would become effective if the City adopts it. Mr. Hahn replied in four to five months. He noted that the bill has been under discussion for seven years and is not a new concept to builders. He said the standards applied to super good cents homes are virtually identical to standards of the NWEC and so a number of local builders have had experience in that respect. In response to a concern regarding the need for additional inspectors, Ms. Block said the City does not intend to hire additional inspectors for the sole purpose of implementing the NWEC. Councilmember Palmer inquired if the passive design is constructed in the super good cents homes. Mr. Gorman replied affirmatively. He explained how the passive design operates, noting that the total cost to install that system in a home is under three hundred dollars. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 5 FEBRUARY 20, 1990 Mayor Naughten closed the public portion of the hearing. Councilmember Hertrich said he was originally opposed to adopting the NWEC because he thought the State would adopt standards that were significantly different but that has not been the case. He believed the City and local builders will have sufficient time to adjust to the new standards. * COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO APPROVE THE ORDINANCE 2755 ADOPTING THE NWEC.

Councilmember Kasper said t,/ the expenses typically cost between $1500 and $1600. He said he would pay for any expenses in excess of that amount with personal funds. Councilmember Hertrich inquired how the City will benefit from his trip. Councilmember Wilson said Councilmember Kasper's ability to perform for the community will be improved, in general. COUNCILMEMBER JAECH MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WILSON, TO APPROVE COUNCILMEMBER KASPER'S TRIP TO THE NATIONAL LEAGUE OF CITIES CONFERENCE IN WASHINGTON, D.C. MOTION CARRIED.
