AUTHORIZATION TO CALL FOR BIDS FOR BRICK MASONRY AT THE CENTENNIAL PLAZA [ITEM (I) ON THE CONSENT AGENDAJ Councilmember Kasper noted that there is only so much money available for all of the centennial �^' 4 projects. He noted also that this project will cost a great deal. He inquired what other events or projects the centennial committee is willing to give up if the funding falls short. Ms. McCrystal indicated that the proposed part could be scaled down, for one thing. She pointed out that they are seeking sponsors for many of the centennial events to cut down on the costs (i.e. summer concerts). Ms. McCrystal said the plaques being placed in the plaza will only be purchased when there is a sponsor for them. They have found four sponsors and are seeking eight more. Ms. McCrystal con- tinued to describe some of the projects the Centennial Committee is working on and how they are planning to fund each project. Ms. McCrystal indicated that the preliminary work, such as curbs, etc., were constructed by City crews and this has cut the cost of the project. She said the proposed costs do not include the work the City crews have already completed. Councilmember Kasper requested staff to provide the Council with updated information regarding the costs of this project. Ms. McCrystal said she could provide this information. Councilmember Hertrich requested cost figures for the in-house labor which has and will be provid- ed. Ms. McCrystal indicated that she has this information, but she did not bring it to the meet- ing. She said she would provide this information to the Councilmembers. * COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO AUTHORIZE STAFF TO CALL FOR BIDS FOR BRICK MASONRY AT THE CENTENNIAL PLAZA. MOTION CARRIED. AUDIENCE Natalie Shippen, 1022 Euclid, inquired when the landscape ordinance will be, coming before the Council. She noted that six months ago at a -public hearing, the Council requested a few minor changes to be made. She inquired if these changes were made and when the item would come before the Council for approval. r. Bowman explained that after the public hearing, the matter was referred to the staff to con - cult with the Architectural Design Board Landscaper to make these changes. These changes have been made and could be presented to the Council when the agenda is open. The Council agreed that this item should be placed on the next available agenda, upon discussing the issue at the next staff meeting. Ms. Shippen inquired if the Council has time at a future work meeting to bring themselves up-to- date on the ferry/van pool experiment. The Washington State Ferry System's answer to it's per- ceived commuter problem is more and bigger boats. That is why the pressure is on Edmonds to build another pier. This would be very expensive for the taxpayers and would have a bad impact on Edmonds. Ms. Shippen suggested there is a better solution to the problem, that being a commuter ferry/van pool. Community Transit completed a survey regarding commuter practices. She felt the City could benefit from getting a picture of what the -commuter problems are. She indicated that there is an experiment being conducted in Kitsap Transit whereby the State Ferry System purchased two vans. The Community Transit uses the vans to create ferry/van pools. She encouraged the Council to become informed on this issue. Councilmember Hertrich said he felt this item could be scheduled onto a Community Services Commit- tee meeting in the future. Ms. Shippen said the person to contact in Kitsap County is John Claussen at 478-6223 and the Community Transit contact person is Charles Pressgood at 356-3625. Councilmember Kasper referred Ms. Shippen to the Silverdale Passenger Only service symposium which is coming up on June 4 and 5. He will not be able to attend. Councilmember Kasper said the Transportation Commission has scheduled a tentative meeting on May 16. The tour will be in the afternoon. Anyone interested in this issue should attend this meet- ing. Councilmember Hertrich inquired if Ms. Shippen was aware that on April 24, the Council will be hearing the University of Washington Progress Report on the Waterfront Study. If she would like to have input with these people, he welcomed her to contact them through Mr. Hahn. Ms. Shippen said one of them did contact her and she forwarded her plan. She said she does not have too much hope from that study and the Council will not know much more than they know now. * See Council Minutes of April 24, 1990 EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 2 April 17, 1990 PRESENTATION OF OFFICIAL CENTENNIAL QUILT TO CITY OF EDMONDS FROM QUILTERS ANONYMOUS ,Allison Morrison, from Quilters Anonymous, introduced the women who cleverly designed and made ^12,tlt the Edmonds Centennial Quilt. She noted that there were twelve ladies who participated. She c� said they received donations from The Calico Basket. She said it was a pleasure to present the quilt to the City of Edmonds. She identified those participants who were present. The quilt was on display and photographs were taken. The ladies were thanked for their gift. HEARING ON PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION REGARDING PROPOSED CONTRACT REZONE FROM RS-20 TO RS-12 1. �.1I L n{Gv "r JI yr io cn rL. M. L111YU tSClWtt17 IYVKtt1 mtHUUWUHLt KU. HIVU lb'LIVU $l. S.W. � R- - Mc R L H L r. Bowman reviewed the history of this item with the Council. He reminded them of the public qxe, hearing on the street vacation request which is tied to the rezone request. He pointed out on a transparency map where the property is located and what portion of the property is proposed as a donation to the City in exchange for the.vacated right-of-way. Mr. Bowman said the proposed contract rezone would zone the area to RS-12 according to the to s of the proposed contract (i..e., the remaining land must be developed into no more than four lot Mr. Bowman said the Planning Board recommends the Council approve the contract rezone request. He said he discussed the contract with the City Attorney who suggested some minor wording changes which need to be made. Councilmember Hertrich inquired if the land which is proposed to be dedicated to the City has been tested by a soils engineer. Mr. Bowman said the soils tests have been completed on the entire site by Mr. McCorkle. This area is somewhat more wet than the other areas to be used for building sites. However, because this area is intended for passive use, it will be suitable to the City's needs. Mr. Bowman noted that the soils engineers have indicated that this area is dryer than most other lots in the Meadowdale-area. Mr. Bowman said he has copies of the geolo- gist's report for the area. Councilmember Kasper referred to the Planning Board minutes which were included in the Council's packets in which Mr. Lewis states that: "He has a strong belief that any action by the Board tonight is premature and might "taint" how the Council decides upon the vacation of properties. The applicant does not own all of the property he is requesting for rezone until the Council approves the vacation request." Councilmember Kasper inquired if it is legal to rezone the prop- erty before the vacation request is granted. IMr. Bowman indicated, and the City Attorney concurred, that the applicant does not have to own the entire property before requesting a contract rezone. Councilmember Palmer inquired what effect the rezone would have on the existing LID. Mr. Bowman explained that one condition of the contract rezone is that the applicant be required to compen- sate (based on the original LID plus inflation since closure of the LID) for the additional hook- up. He noted that when the LID was created, this property was only set up for three hookups. Mr. Bowman pointed out that the rezone approval does not guarantee building permits and subdivi- sion approval on that lot. The applicant must prove his project can meet the conditions of Chap- ter 19.05 of the Edmonds Community Development Code.. In reference to the proposed contract, Councilmember Nordquist inquired if it is legal to include condition three which states that the City agrees to dedicate the existing vacated westerly 30 feet of 75th Place West, adjoining the easterly boundary of lots 1 through 7. City Attorney Snyder indicated that if the City Council approves the contract rezone, it and the ordinance of vacation would go back on the agenda to be passed at the same time. They should be approved at the same meeting. The public hearing was opened. Roger McCorkle, 19811 Third Avenue N.W., Seattle, said the City seldom has the opportunity to obtain community park land and not have to put out a lot of money to purchase it. Mr. McCorkle said the property being dedicated to the City is appraised at $220,000. The right- of-way area which they are asking the City to vacate is not appraised at that high amount. He explained that they feel that to make the trade equal, the City can grant them a contract re- zone. Mr. McCorkle noted that all the property owners in the vicinity have indicated they are in favor of the rezone with the exception of two: one is on vacation and the other did not want to sign, but has shown no sign of opposition to the rezone request. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 3 April 17, 1990 Mr. McCorkle said the community would like to have the opportunity to participate in the planning process for the park and also requests the City to consider naming the park after Captain Haines. Captain Haines developed the wharf. Byron Hanson, 20146 25th N.W., Seattle, read a dedication to his great grandfather, Herbert F. Haines for his contribution to the City of Edmonds and particularly to the wharf. He said it would be a tribute to dedicate and name the park after Herbert and Beula Haines, the ones who crated the landmark. Councilmember Hertrich asked many square feet the applicant will dedicate to the City and how many square feet the City will vacate for the applicant's use. Mr. Bowman said the square foot- age is very close. The City would receive 13,037 square feet and the applicant would receive 13,964 square feet. Councilmember Hertrich inquired which lots in the :are' are smaller than 20,000 square feet. Mr. McCorkle said he used the LID roster to study the size of each lot in the area. He found 27 lots under 20,000 square feet and 21 lots over 20,000 square feet. Mr. McCorkle indicated that many of these properties are down around 6,000 square feet per lot. He noted that these smaller lots were grandfathered into the Code. Mr. Bowman clarified that the City allows the small lots to be build on if they are held under separate ownership: These lots are, however, required to meet the RS-20 building standards. Because of this requirement, the City has experienced several requests for variances in this area because the result is a small building pad. Mr. McCorkle indicated that the sizes of the proposed lots are around 15,000 square feet. He reviewed the proposed lot configuration with the Council. Mr. Palmer clarified that the applicant should understand that in regards to the dedication of the three lots to the City for parks purposes, this would become a City park for the use of any- body in the City. The impacts of the park come with the dedication of the land. He noted that many times, the neighbors feel the neighborhood parks are only for the neighborhood. Mr. McCorkle said he understands this, which is why the neighbors are requesting to be included in the planning process and in naming the park. The Council discussed the proposed access points and Mr. Bowman pointed out that the access loca- tions will be reviewed as part of the subdivision process. Mayor Naughten noted that the Council must first decide if they want to approve the rezone. The other issues, such as access, will come up in the subdivision approval process. The Council discussed the proper way to proceed with making a decision on the proposed contract rezone. City Attorney Snyder said he has some problems with the wording of the proposed con- tract. He recommended the findings and ordinances approving the contract rezone be placed on the consent agenda immediately following the ordinance of vacation. This would allow the two actions to take place on the same evening, one right after the other. COUNCILMEMBER PALMER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, THAT THE COUNCIL ADOPT THE PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION REGARDING PROPOSED CONTRACT REZONE FROM RS-20 and CW to RS-12 ON PROPERTY LOCATED WEST OF 75TH PL. W., LYING BETWEEN NORTH MEADOWDALE RD. AND 162ND ST. S.W. AND DIRECT THE CITY ATTORNEY TO PREPARE THE APPROPRIATE ORDLNANCE: MOTION CARRIED. HEARING ON PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION REGARDING PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO EDMONDS COMMUNITY / All" Mr. Bowman explained that he put together some examples to demonstrate what the results of the Planning Board recommendation would be. He also gave a brief history of the item. Mr. Bowman said the Board's recommendation allows for a fence of up to six feet high. If there is a retaining wall under three feet, the maximum total structure must be no higher than six feet. If the retaining wall is over three feet high, the Planning Board proposed a maximum fence height of four feet. This would prevent someone from falling over the fence. If a person wishes to build higher fences than those proposed, a conditional use permit would be required. Mr. Bowman said the Planning Board also proposed that six feet be the maximum height allowed for a hedge. In extreme cases where there is a large rockery with landscaping at the bottom, the landscaping can grow up to a maximum of four feet above the rockery. The Board is proposing a change to the definition of a hedge. He read the Board's proposed definition of a hedge. He said the proposed definition would help the Hearing Examiner enforce the Code and clarify the situation. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 4 April 17, 1990 Councilmember Kasper inquired if approval of this Code amendment would require everyone with a row of trees over six feet high to top their trees. He noted that it has been shown that topping trees is not good for them. City Attorney Snyder said the City has had a six foot height regulations for hedges for 34 years. It is not a new concept. Mr. Palmer said that while the City may have had an ordinance in effect for 34 years, they have not had the same definition for a hedge. He inquired if this amendment would apply to new plant- ings only. Mr. Snyder said the City can generally not grandfather items without a permit. He said hedges have not required a permit in the past so their may be certain situations where peo- ple have trees that are over the height which should be grandfathered. This will have to be determined on a case by case basis. For clarification, Councilmember Hertrich inquired if a person has a lot with just trees located on it and these trees touch each other and mingle together to block the view, could this person be required to cut his trees to six feet in height. He inquired if the definition should be used only for those trees placed along the border of the property or the setback area. Mr. Snyder said Councilmember Hertrich is correct, the hedge issue is not addressed in terms of setbacks, but the definition refers to a row or border which acts as a screen. In terms of using the setbacks in defining a hedge, there is the possibility of a neighborhood spite situation. A neighbor could place a screen of trees on his property inside the setback which could block his neighbors view just to be spiteful. The proposed definition of a hedge would control these types of situations. Mr. Bowman explained that it is impossible to address every possible instance which may come up, but the City can create a logical basis for decisions to be made. Mr. Bowman felt the proposed amendment would do just that. Mr. Snyder said the proposed definition uses the words, "closely spaced plantings of trees or shrubs in a row or rows." The definition applies some human agency in setting up the screen. Councilmember Hertrich said he still has some concerns about the proposed definition. In regard to the ordinance, Councilmember Hertrich suggested the City Attorney include as a "Whereas" that what is being considered has to do with view blockage. Mr. Bowman said that sun- light.and privacy have also created problems. Councilmember Nordquist strongly suggested that because there are some questions the Council should address, this discussion should be considered as a first reading and any questions should be directed to the City Attorney or other parties involved and brought back to the Council for a second reading. COUNCILMEMBER DWYER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PALMER, THAT THE COUNCIL ACCEPT THE PLANNING BOARD'S RECOMMENDATION WITH REGARDS TO THE DEFINITION AND CHANGES FOR HEIGHT RESTRICTIONS FOR FENCES. MOTION CARRIED WITH COUNCILMEMBER KASPER OPPOSING THE MOTION. COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH, THAT THE HEDGE PORTION OF THE AMENDMENT BE CONSIDERED A FIRST READING AND THAT A SECOND READING BE SCHEDULED FOR JUNE 19, 1990. MOTION CARRIED. City Clerk 'Parrett inquired if the second reading meant that she should advertise the meeting for a public hearing. The Council instructed her to advertise the meeting as a public hearing. INITIAL DISCUSSION OF HIGHWAY 99 INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT q Mr. Hahn said that in late 1989 Edmonds and Lynnwood agreed to have Lynnwood submit a preliminary 91 application to the Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) for 80 percent funding of the widening of Highway 99, estimated to cost $12.5 million. This money has been made available for this project from TIB. He said TIB will contribute $10 million dollars to the project. Half of the local share of $2.5 million will come from the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT). Mr. Hahn referred the Council to the letter from WSDOT committing the state to providing $1.2 million for construction only. The reason WSDOT does not want to be included in the interlocal agreement is timeliness. It will take too long for the state to review the interlocal agree- ment. Mr. Hahn said WSDOT had already allocated the $1.2 million to be used to repave the exist- ing Highway 99. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 5 April 17, 1990 Mr. Hahn said the participating jurisdictions have been meeting to move the project along. They have met with TIB staff and they indicate that time is an important factor. At present, the entities are ready to select an engineering consultant, to refine cost estimates, and to enter into an interlocal agreement. Mr. Hahn indicated that staff is seeking the Council's input on the draft interlocal agreement. He stated that the present cost estimates are probably low. They were done quickly to get the application in to the TIB. The actual amount will be closer to $14 million. Councilmember Hertrich asked what WSDOT had projected for Highway 99 improvements. He inquired if there is a possibility of getting more paving money to help complete the project. Mr. Hahn noted that WSDOT is already funding half of the local costs. He said he will continue to look for other funding sources. Councilmember Hertrich inquired if the Engineering Department has been able to review the pro- posed interlocal agreement. Mr. Hahn said he provided the City Engineer with this information and he felt the agreement would be fine. Councilmember Palmer inquired if the interlocal agreement would commit the City to more than their share of the $1.25 million. He inquired if their could be a cap placed on the dollar amount the City would be responsible to provide. Mr. Hahn said, in all likelihood, the costs will be more than $12.5 million. Until the bids are out the City will not know how much it will cost. The City must commit to the project as de- scribed. Mr. Hahn said any improvements which go beyond the scope of those described in the interlocal agreement will not be included in the formula of distribution. The agency requesting the changes must provide the funding. Mr. Hahn informed the Board that Community Transit (CT) has contributed $200,000 to the project. The Council discussed the letter from Duane Berentson requesting that in exchange for the $200,000 contribution, the City study the possibility of including High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) treatment along Highway 99. Mr. Hahn said this would involve the consultant taking into account a specific study being done by CT and Metro on HOV treatment along Highway 99. This analysis would look at the benefits to the cities involved. Mr. Hahn said the state encourages the cities to study this information to increase the carrying capacity for the roads. Councilmember Palmer noted that $200,000 would not go far in studying the HOV treatment along Highway 99. Councilmember Kasper felt CT's investment would probably be more than $200,000. They have money in the long range fund.for CT for such things as HOV studies. Mr. Hahn noted that any turnout lanes along Highway 99 will cost about $30,000 each. These extra lanes would have to be payed for by CT. To address Mr. Palmer's concerns about the possibility of the the cost being much more than antic- ipated, Mr. Hahn referred the Council to Item 8 of the Interlocal Agreement. This requires that any costs above the $12.5 million, must be approved by all parties. Councilmember Nordquist inquired what the impact will be to the business owners along Highway 99. He inquired if public hearings would be held to provide an opportunity for these people to present their views. Mayor Naughten said the Highway 99 Task Force has held two public hearings. It is the general feeling of the people along the Highway that for only a small portion of the costs, they will get curbs, better streets, etc. Mr. Hahn said the total share for the City is 1.7 percent. They are not intending to charge the merchants along the Highway anything. However, each jurisdiction can decide how they will obtain the funding. Councilmember Kasper, in summarizing, said any changes in the agreement must come back to the Council for approval. Mr. Hahn said that is his understanding. After staff has established the initial dollar amount, there will be no new information until the predesign is finished at the end of the year. The .new cost estimates will brought back to the Council as soon as they are available. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 6 April 17, 1990 Councilmember Kasper said it is his observance in past interlocal agreements, that they seem to run out of money when they get to the Edmonds area. He felt the City needs to watch this project closely to insure the City gets equal treatment. Mr. Hahn thought there was a possibility that it would start with the Edmonds segment. Councilmember Palmer inquired if credit will be given for existing improvements. Mr. Hahn said existing improvements will be taken into account. Councilmember Palmer recommended that a specific dollar cap be placed in the interlocal agree- ment. He said he would like to include a statement that the City will not spend any more than "X" number of dollars. The City can always change their minds if the improvements will cost more than the cap amount. Mr. Hahn suggested that they include a statement that the parties reserve the right to withdraw from the project if the cost after preliminary engineer studies exceed the estimated costs by more than 25 percent. The Council scheduled this item on the May 1 agenda. Mr. Hahn indicated that he would have more information regarding costs by that time. MAYOR i Mayor Naughten said he selected the firm of Peale and Segelbaum for the City Prosecutor posi- Pt,09A�tion. He inquired if the Council would like to interview them before they are actually hired. The Council agreed that they should interview these individuals and scheduled the interviews to take place on April 24, 1990 at 6:45 p.m. Mr. Snyder said he would provide the Council with the proposed contract prior to the April 24 meeting. Mayor Naughten said he has formed the Citizen's Committee for Hutt Park. He indicated the indi- viduals chosen to participate on that Committee. They are to have a recommendation for the Coun- p cil within two months of their first meeting. Mayor Naughten inquired if the Council would like to make an official response to Admiral Par- ker's letter. Councilmember Kasper said he had not even seen the letter before the information °Y,nA, was out to the press. Mayor Naughten said the letter arrived too late to include it with the 00 Council packets for the April 10 meeting. It was included in the current Council packets. Councilmember Hertrich said he has requested Mr. Hahn to provide him with copies of the work which was done with the State's consultant so the Council can see how limited a job they did. The Council could then make any comments they wish. He suggested that all Councilmembers receive copies of this study. Councilmember Dwyer suggested this item be placed on an agenda as soon as possible so the Council can respond. The Council scheduled May 1, 1990 for a review of the State's ferry study. Councilmember Kasper said he is encouraged by the fact that Admiral Parker did not say it cannot be done. He only stated that it is an expensive solution. Mayor Naughten announced that the AWC convention is coming up in Wenatchee and they are looking for voting delegates. Councilmember Nordquist said he would be a delegate and Councilmember Hertrich said he may be able to attend. Mayor Naughten said Willis Tucker is asking the local jurisdictions what they feel about the following local options: 1. Vehicle registration fee of $15. 2. Increase the gas tax. Councilmembers Dwyer and Palmer did not see much public support for the local options of a gas tax or the registration fee. The Council concurred that the City is generally opposed to addi- tional local options at this time. Mayor Naughten announced that the Perrinville Post Office is back on track and they will let hi►r know when the ground breaking will be. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 7 April 17, 1990 COUNCIL Councilmember Palmer said it was his pleasure to be part of the delegation which went to Japan for the opening of the Branch Campus of Edmonds Community College in Kobe, Japan. They had won- derful hosts and it was a nice dedication. The campus is something to be proud of. Councilmember Kasper asked Councilmember Hertrich to consider going to the Silverdale "passenger ferry only" seminar in June. Councilmember Hertrich did not feel he would receive any additional information from this seminar as he had been involved with the PSCOG study. Councilmember Dwyer said the Easter Egg Hunt was a success. There was an enormous number of children. He said this event, for some people, is the only contact they have with their City. Councilmember Hertrich said he was privileged to go with Mayor Naughten, Arvilla Ohlde, and Mr. Hahn to visit the pool in Newport Hills. He said he was impressed with the simplicity and the amount of lighting available. He felt it would be worth the-Council's time to review this struc- ture. The meeting adjourned at 9:00 p.m. THESE MINUTES ARE SUBJECT TO APRIL 24, 1990 APPROVAL. ACQ ELINE G. PARRETT, City Clerk. LARIRY S.
