COUNCILMEMBER MARIN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT EARLING, FOR APPROVAL OF CONSENT AGENDA ITEM B AS AMENDED. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. The agenda item approved is as follows: Approve 2/01/02 (B) APPROVAL OF CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF FEBRUARY 1 AND 2, 2002 Minutes AS AMENDED Council President Earling expressed his appreciation for the concern shown him by the community in the past weeks following his heart event. He thanked the Council, employees, and Police Department for the flowers they each sent and thanked the many others for their thoughts, prayers and cards. He briefly described his heart event (not searing chest pain but his heart rate accelerated to 250 beats per minute for an unknown reason), stating his doctor indicated he could return to his normal schedule Is he felt comfortable doing. Amend cDC 3. PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE AN AMENDMENT TO EDMONDS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE SECTION 20.91.030, 20.91.030- Continuances AUTHORIZING THE COUNCIL PRESIDENT TO ALLOW PROCEDURAL CONTINUANCES DURING THE CITY COUNCIL'S CONSIDERATION OF A PARTICULAR ZONING ACTION Planning Manager Rob Chave explained this was an amendment to the Edmonds Community Development Code allowing the Council President to continue quasi-judicial matters that are On appeal to the Council. Continuances must be for just cause and every effort would be made to notify parties of the continuance. Mr. Chave advised the Planning Board recommends approval of the amendment. Councilmember Plunkett asked what happens now without the amendment. Mr. Chave answered an interim ordinance was in place. As an example, the item originally scheduled for tonight (Talbot Partners LLC) was continued at a previous meeting. Because this was a particularly contentious matter, the continuance avoided having people attend tonight's meeting expecting the item to be heard. Adoption of this amendment would make the interim ordinance permanent. City Attorney Scott Snyder explained the alternative was for the Council to make that decision on motion at the hearing. The interim ordinance was enacted to avoid the inconvenience to the public by coming to a meeting without knowing whether the item would be heard. Mr. Chave explained an example would be Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes March 19, 2002 Page 2 when one party of record was out of town and it would be difficult for them to argue for a continuance if they were not able to attend the meeting. Councilmember Wilson referred to draft language in Section 1 that specifically referred to closed record appeals, inquiring whether the intent was to include a provision for closed record meetings. Mr. Snyder answered Regulatory Reform had specific provisions for public meetings, a closed record hearing and an open record hearing. He said all matters appealed to the Council would be considered close record hearings under state law. With regard to the matter in the next agenda item, Mr. Snyder explained the application being considered was the sole remaining action that would come to the Council on recommendation. The recently enacted PRD ordinance would require an appeal to the Council. He noted this was a "one of a kind" item. He noted staff's task list for this year also included a revision of the City's hearing procedures. Mayor Haakenson asked Mr. Snyder to give further details about Regulatory Reform for the audience. Mr. Snyder explained for many years, the Edmonds City Council's policy was that the Council would be the "reviewer of last resort" — all development applications would eventually be heard by the Council. In the past, the City had a process that provided for hearings before the Architectural Design Board (ADB) or other City bodies including the City's Hearing Examiner. In the event of an appeal, there was a second round of hearings before the City Council. When Regulatory Reform was enacted, one of the key provisions was the limitation in any hearing process to one open record hearing — evidence was accepted at only one stage in the review process with the City. Under the current City structure and in compliance with Regulatory Reform, evidentiary hearings are held primarily before the Hearing Examiner and occasionally before other bodies such as the ADB. In addition to requiring consideration within a specified time period (120 days), Regulatory Reform also addressed the consolidation of permit applications. If there are a number of related actions such as SEPA review, ADB review, etc., those processes are consolidated with only one evidentiary hearing. Mayor Haakenson opened the public participation portion of the public hearing. There were no members of the public who wished to provide testimony and Mayor Haakenson closed the public participation portion of the public hearing. COUNCILMEMBER MARIN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER ORVIS, FOR APPROVAL OF ORDINANCE NO. 3394, AUTHORIZING THE COUNCIL PRESIDENT TO ALLOW PROCEDURAL CONTINUANCES DURING THE CITY COUNCIL'S CONSIDERATION OF A PARTICULAR ZONING ACTION. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. The ordinance approved is as follows: rd# 3394 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS, WASHINGTON, ADOPTING SECTION Amending CDC 20.91.030 OF THE EDMONDS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE CONTINUANCES AS A 20.91.030- ZONING REGULATION, AND FIXING A TIME WHEN THE SAME SHALL BECOME Continuances EFFECTIVE. 4. REPORT ON CONTINUANCE GRANTED BY THE COUNCIL PRESIDENT FOR THE Continuance: FOLLOWING CLOSED RECORD MEETING: Closed Record Meeting — CLOSED RECORD MEETING REGARDING THE HEARING EXAMINER'S Talbot RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL OF AN APPLICATION BY TALBOT PARTNERS. LLC Partners FOR A NINE -LOT FORMAL PLAT AND PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT. X Cyrus (Property Location: 802X Cyrus Place / File Nos. P-01-78, PRD -01-79, and AP -01-165) Development Services Director Duane Bowman explained a continuance was granted by the Council President on March 5 in this matter at the request of Gerald Steel, the attorney representing the citizens Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes March 19, 2002 Page 3 group regarding the application by Talbot Partners LLC for a 9 -lot formal plat and planned 'residential development. One of the issues Mr. Steel raised was the need for a verbatim transcript of the Hearing Examiner's hearing. He explained the materials provided to the Council include minutes detailing the hearings on this matter; however, the minutes were not a verbatim transcript. Options for the Council include, 1) each Councilmember making a commitment to listen to the nine hours of testimony on seven tapes (approximate cost — $50 to purchase the tapes), or 2) have a verbatim transcript prepared from the tapes (approximate cost — $750-$1,000). Mr. Bowman explained the other issue before the Council was setting the hearing date. The applicant has indicated they would like to have the hearing scheduled as soon as possible. Mr. Bowman suggested scheduling the hearing for fifth Tuesday, April 30, or scheduling a special Thursday meeting to consider only this matter. City Attorney Scott Snyder explained this matter was continued and parties of record notified of the continuance. He cautioned the Council to limit their discussion to these two procedural issues — how to review the record and the date of the hearing. Discussion of any other substantive matters must be done in the presence of the parties of record. He advised on March 14, 2002, the applicant, a representative of the citizen's group, Council President Earling, and he participated in a conference call where it was pointed out the Council would be making a decision based on the Hearing Examiner's recommendation and it was important the Council have the entire record for review. Although the minutes are detailed, they include paraphrasing and summary and it is possible something has been improperly summarized. In view of the objection, Mr. Snyder recommended the Council listen to the tapes in their entirety or have a complete transcript available. Council President Earling disagreed with waiting until the end of April for the Council to consider this matter. He asked how long it would take to have a verbatim transcript prepared. Mr. Bowman advised approximately one week. Council President Earling suggested the Council consider this matter on April 9, prior to Council committee meetings. Councilmember Marin inquired about the tape quality. Mr. Bowman presumed the quality was good, noting persons speaking at the Hearing Examiner's hearing speak one at a time. Councilmember Wilson asked who would be responsible for the cost of the transcription. Mr.; Bowman requested the funds be appropriated from the Council Contingency Fund. Mr. Snyder reiterated this was a one -of -a -kind matter presented to the Council on a recommendation. He explained normally the appellant would pay and an appeal would have been filed; in this instance there was no appeal pending. He advised scheduling the matter for April 9 would allow adequate time for notification. Councilmember Dawson expressed a preference for a verbatim transcript, pointing out the ability to re- read sections if necessary which was difficult to accomplish when listening to a tape. She summarized although it was expensive to prepare, a verbatim transcript would create a better record. COUNCIL PRESIDENT EARLING MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER MARIN, TO CONTINUE THE HEARING TO APRIL 9 AND APPROPRIATE FUNDS FROM THE COUNCIL CONTINGENCY FUND TO PAY FOR THE VERBATIM TRANSCRIPT OF THE HEARING EXAMINER'S RECORD, TO BE PREPARED FOR THE COUNCIL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes March 19, 2002 Page 4 Mr. Snyder explained this was a quasi-judicial decision the Council would be making and reminded Councilmembers they were prohibited from discussing the content of a quasi-judicial matter. He noted some Councilmembers have received telephone calls from citizens or other persons regarding this hearing. Under the Appearance of Fairness Doctrine, any ex -parte contact should be revealed at the start of the hearing as well as the substance of any conversation so that the parties can address it. He suggested Councilmembers keep a log of telephone calls received. Councilmember Plunkett inquired who would be allowed to speak at the hearing. Mr. Snyder referred to a copy of a letter distributed to the Council that was sent to the applicant and the Talbot citizens group's attorney regarding a number of issues. The group's attorney requested a ruling regarding who could speak at the Council's closed record meeting and Mayor Haakenson had informed the parties that participation would be limited to parties of record. Mr. Snyder noted the open public record hearing had been conducted and testimony concluded; that hearing was the opportunity for citizens to participate, to become parties of record, and to present their testimony. Under Regulatory Reform, there can be only one open record hearing; therefore, participation at the next hearing would be limited to parties of record. He explained the letter from the citizen group's attorney was forwarded to the applicant for response and the Mayor, as Chair, would make a pre -hearing ruling on that subject. In addition, as there was some question regarding who is a party of record, the tapes, materials submitted, and sign -in sheets are being reviewed to ensure all parties of record are notified and their right to participate preserved. He noted any member of the public who was not represented by the Talbot citizen group or the applicant could obtain a copy of the communications from the City Clerk. 5. AUDIENCE COMMENTS Carl Pearson, 16311 & 16319 75th Place W, Edmonds, requested Council action regarding the location Property on of City property on 164`" Street SW. He explained the City was an adjoining property owner to their 164 Street sw property. He expressed concern with the Planning Division's refusal to identify the boundaries of the City property. He explained for over two years they have asked the Planning Division to identify where the road is located but this has not been accomplished. The City's failure to understand or their unwillingness to state where the public property is located has resulted in the Planning Division's refusal to process routine applications due to what it claims is an uncertainty of boundaries. He clarified he was not asking the Council to make any determination regarding private property issues, only that the Council promptly and fairly state where the street and public right-of-way boundaries are located. He recommended the Council prepare or have prepared a legal description and survey on the City's property, known as 164h Street SW between 75th Place W and 72"d Avenue W, that is based on the relationship to the section line and document any private structures on the public property. He requested this information be provided to the Council and the community within 30 days. Property on John Edwards, 7317 164th Place SW, Edmonds, whose property also adjoins 164th Street SW, indicated 1641' Street the location of the road was questionable. He understood two surveys had been prepared that were in SW conflict. He said it appeared that possibly 9 -feet should be added to his property, instead when the road was developed, it may have encroached onto his property and a 12 -foot embankment was constructed. He asked the City to make a determination where the property line was. Perry on Ken Long, Western Engineers, indicated he was the surveyor of record who surveyed the Pearson `h Street property and the Nelson property and the centerline of 164th Street SW as he believed it to be. He noted there were several surveys, all with different opinions. He requested the Council make a decision Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes March 19, 2002 Page 5 regarding whether this was a straight road or an angle. His understanding was that it must be a straight road as it was originally platted. He entered materials into the record. Ray Martin, 18704 94th Avenue W, Edmonds, observed there had been a "blizzard" of new ordinances and revisions, as well as a continuance at recent Council meetings. He said features common to these actions included some were not sufficiently justified, some were short of common sense, and sometimes the Council was misinformed or misled by false statements. He referred to the proposed Board of oardIProposof ed Appeals, and the comment made by Councilmember Marin that it would benefit builders, pointing out [Appeals that under the new ordinance, builders must make appeals to Superior Court rather than to the Council. He recalled the City's former Board of Adjustments and did not want the Hearing Examiner process eliminated and the review returned to a Board of Appeals. He challenged Councilmember Marin's statement that the Board of Appeals was required by the Uniform Building Code. Fiancefor Roger Hertrich, 1020 Puget Drive, Edmonds, referred to the question he raised previously regarding °°°n'i° the City's contract with the Edmonds Alliance for Economic Development and his request that the City evelopment Attorney comment on whether the Alliance had complied with the contract. He explained there had been no response from the Council to his request. He noted there were other instances where the Council did not react to citizens' requests. Unless he received a reaction from the Council regarding his concerns, Mr. Hertrich felt it his duty to bring forth all public information regarding the original contract, how the decision was made, and the action the Council took based on an illegal meeting. Councilmember Plunkett advised Mr. Hertrich that a letter from the Alliance dated March 1, 2002, had been prepared and was available from the Council office. Property on Councilmember Plunkett asked Mr. Pearson if he had made a recent request or if the request was made 1641s Street two years ago. Mr. Pearson responded he has been making requests monthly. He explained two years SW ago, he had a pre -application meeting with the Planning Division who told him what needed to be done to prepare an application, including a survey that would be submitted with the application. He was told to have a private surveyor conduct the survey and he hired Ken Long, Western Engineers, to do the survey. He was told the survey would be used to establish the property lines. He noted over several years, a variety of surveys had been conducted in that area but none matched; thus it was nearly impossible to have a uniform survey that resolved all the problems. He submitted the survey on January 12, 2001, however, the recorded survey was rejected by the Planning Division who stated it was incomplete and that it was an improper survey. He questioned the process and appealed the staff decision to reject the survey to the Hearing Examiner. During the June 7, 2001 Hearing Examiner appeal and many times since, he asked where the City road was located so that he could give instructions to his surveyor regarding how to document it on the survey. He summarized he has asked numerous times over the past two years in writing, on the telephone, at hearings, etc. where the City road is located. Mr. Snyder agreed with Mr. Pearson's statement that there are numerous properties in the Meadowdale area whose surveys do not align. He noted this problem has been before the Council a number of times and this was not the first request to be made to the City to locate property markers. He disagreed with the comment that this was a simple matter, pointing out it was far from simple and should not be handled via an impromptu public hearing. He offered to provide the Council a complete report to allow the Council to make a decision how far to go to resolve a widespread property problem in the Meadowdale area at public expense. He noted whatever decision was made, it would have to be confirmed in Superior Court and would require title action. Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes March 19, 2002 Page 6 Mr. Snyder pointed out Mr. Pearson has received several determinations with regard to his applications from the Hearing Examiner that have not been appealed. He suggested staff provide the Council a report, possibly at a committee meeting. If a public hearing was desired, he suggested it include all property owners in that area. lliance for Councilmember Petso recalled there had been repeated requests to have the City Attorney review the [Economic City's contract with the Alliance and asked Mr. Snyder to do this. Mr. Snyder agreed to review the evelopment tY hy 3' � contract. 6. REPORT ON CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE MEETINGS OF MARCH 12, 2002 ublic Safety Public Safety Committee Committee Councilmember Petso reported staff presented a proposed contract for conductingentry level firefighter testing. She noted this was cost neutral but would improve the City's applicant pool when hiring new firefighters. This item was approved on tonight's Consent Agenda. Community Community Service/Development Services Committee Services/ Councilmember Marin reported the committee discussed the Team Edmonds marketing proposal. Team Development Services Edmonds will provide an update on their marketing efforts to the Council in April. Next, the committee Committee discussed an amendment to the employee parking permit; staff was directed to bring the revised ordinance to Council with the committee's support. A presentation was made to the committee regarding disabled parking in downtown. The findings will be submitted to the City's Traffic Engineer and if time allows, he will review the material, return it to the CS/DS committee and the parking committee and eventually to the full Council. The committee then reviewed the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and committee members expressed their appreciation for the excellent work staff presented. Finance Committee finance Councilmember Orvis reported a presentation was made to the Finance Committee regarding a proposed ommittee merger of AT&T Corporation and Comcast Corporation. The only issue was the City Attorney is currently negotiating with AT&T regarding providing additional video equipment. Next, the committee considered a request by the Police Department for approval to pay a 2001 invoice for traffic collision reconstruction software from the 007 Fund. This will be presented to the Council as a budget amendment. The committee then continued theirdiscussion regarding the Edmonds Historical Museum who is gathering further information from the Edmonds School District as well as on how to dispose of items in storage. The committee then discussed a potential future benefit for City employees but it was determined there was some risk to the City and there was little interest in this benefit. Councilmember Orvis reported the committee discussed GASB 34 and the firm the City was using for consulting. The next agenda item was an update of staff's development of a utility financial plan which is scheduled for completion in May 2002. The final agenda item was a discussion of potential revenue sources. Staff is gathering additional information and this discussion will be continued at the next Finance Committee meeting. 7.
