Councilmember Jaech inquired if Staff had checked the credentials of Gordon Kruse Construction.

Licensing. Councilmember Jaech inquired if Staff had spoken with anybody that they have worked
with. Mr. Alberts replied negatively.
COUNCILMEMBER JAECH MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH, TO APPROVE ITEM (G). MOTION CAR-
RIED.
PROPOSED ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING EDMONDS SISTER CITY COMMISSION [ITEM (J) ON THE CONSENT AGENDA]
Councilmember Hertrich said he felt that it would be inappropriate to vote on the ordinance until
the Council, as a whole, had an opportunity to discuss it. Mayor Naughten said the ordinance was
placed on the Consent Agenda because he thought issues of concern were resolved at the joint
U,J meeting with the Sister City Committee. Councilmember Hall recalled that Dolores Uhlman, Chair-
person of the Committee, had made a presentation, but the Council was under the impression that
the item would be brought back before them for further discussion.
COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, TO SCHEDULE FURTHER DISCUSSION OF
ITEM (J) ON MAY 23, 1989. MOTION CARRIED WITH COUNCILMEMBER KASPER AND COUNCILMEMBER WILSON
OPPOSED.
Mayor Naughten announced that Ms. Uhlman has been succeeded as Chairperson of the Committee by
Jack Dublin. He recognized both Ms. Uhlman and Mr. Dublin in the audience.
PROPOSED RESOLUTION 685 COMMEMORATING SOUTH COUNTY SENIOR CENTER'S 25TH ANNIVERSARY [ITEM (K)
N THE CONSENT AGENDAJ
Councilmember Nordquist stated that the City purchased the property on which the Senior Center is
.�� located 22 years ago. He said the service was a new concept at that time and the community ques-
boned its value. However, the Mayor and City Council were in full support. He said the Center
has become a home for senior citizens throughout Snohomish County and North King County.
Councilmember Nordquist read Resolution #685 into the record commemorating the South County Sen-
ior Center for 25 years of service to Snohomish County. He presented Russ Berg, Director of the
South County Senior Center, with the resolution.
Mr. Berg noted that the center has grown tremendously throughout the years and serves 6,000 sen-
iorsannually. Mr. Berg thanked the City for its support.
Mayor Naughten noted that Mr. Berg and his staff do an excellent job for caring for elderly citi-
zens at the Center.
AUDIENCE
Mayor Naughten opened the audience portion of the meeting.
Paul Fosso, 631 Elm. Place, said he and his wife have enjoyed the quality of life in Edmonds since
moving to the City two and a half years ago. He was, however, deeply concerned about dog depos-
its in, public areas throughout the City. He felt the City has done very little to enforce its
ordinances in that respect. Mr. Fosso requested the City to enforce its laws and to post
signage. He suggested that water lines be installed in the downtown area so that merchants have
the ability to wash off sidewalks in front of their stores if they wish to or that a City water
truck wash the streets and sidewalks at night.
Mr.. Fosso said he wrote a letter to Dr. Paul Beaver, Professor Emeritus, Tulane University, who
sent him information regarding the transmittal of parasites from dog feces to human beings and
sea life. He submitted the information to the Council and implored them to consider the issue
very seriously.
Mayor Naughten said the City has taken measures to control the situation by banning dogs from
City parks; adopting a "poop scoop" ordinance; adopting an ordinance allowing the City to fine
owners of dogs if they do not clean up their animal's deposits; and adopting a leash law. Mayor
Naughten said the City enforces its ordinances when Staff witnesses an event or they receive a
complaint. He said, however, the City is limited in its enforcement because of manpower limita-
tions.
Mayor Naughten closed the audience portion of the meeting.
HEARING ON APPEAL OF ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN BOARD DECISION ON SIGN ILLUMINATION FOR EDWARD D.
A �.13 JONES & CO. AT 405 MAIN ST. P- -89 DB- 5- 9 PPELL N ALAN E. L WR NC
�Planning Division Manager Mary Lou Block reported that on April 5, 1989, the Architectural Design
Board (ADB) granted approval for a proposed attached sign for Edward D. Jones & Co. at 405 Main
Street. The Board added a condition that the sign not be illuminated and the condition was ap-
pealed.
Ms. Block noted that older signs along Main Street in the vicinity of the subject property are,
for the most part, illuminated. However, new signs in the area are not illuminated.
EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 2 MAY 16, 1989
Councilmember Hertrich inquired if internally illuminated signs are prohibited in the City. Ms.
Block replied negatively. Councilmember Hertrich inquired if front -lighted signs exist in the
general vicinity of the Edward D. Jones & Co. Ms. Block said she did not know.
Councilmember Hall noted that illuminated signs were not allowed in previous years. She said,
however, the Code has evolved into allowing neon and other lighted signs. She was concerned
about a consistency in the sign code. She inquired about the provisions of the Code. Ms. Block
said illuminated signs are not prohibited in the City but flashing or blinking lights are prohib-
ited. City Attorney Scott Snyder expounded further, at the request of Councilmember Hall, by
stating that the Code prohibits blinking, flashing, fluttering, moving signs; light sources which
exceed 20 watts cannot be exposed to any public street; and no illuminating source of fluorescent
light shall exceed 425 milliamps or a space closer than 8 inches on center. He said Staff has
the discretion when a sign is illuminated to refer that sign to the ADB.
Councilmember Hall asked why the sign in question was referred to the ADB. Ms. Block said all
signs are reviewed by the ADB unless the applicant chooses a lengthier form of approval.
ti
Alan Lawrence, Edward D. Jones & Co., 405 Main St., said the company is a national firm with 1400
offices throughout the United States. He said the sign in question is a professionally designed
sign and is used in all of the company's locations. He felt the sign would benefit the downtown
area by its professional appearance.
Mr. Lawrence submitted his company's brochure and 13 photographs (marked Exhibit #1) of signage
on Main Street from the Community Center to the waterfront which are, or were at one time, inter-
nally illuminated, as well as; a colored photograph of the proposed sign (printed in the bro-
chure). He.requested that he be allowed an opportunity to advertise his business as other busi-
nesses have in downtown Edmonds.
At the request of Mr. Snyder, a set of the photographs were placed on the•tabie near the doorway
for public viewing.
Councilmember Kasper inquired if the sign in question is parallel to the window. Mr. Lawrence
replied negatively. -He said the sign projects above the canopy and is within the height require-
ments of the code.
Mayor Naughten opened the public portion of the hearing.
Diane Monroe, 401 Pine Street, ADB member, said the Board approved a front -lighted sign and not
an internally illuminated sign. She said the Board is aware that corporate signs are limited in
their design but recommended that a unique design be considered.
Ms. Monroe noted that a number of the signs depicted in the photographs are not internally illumi-
nated, although they have that capability, and a number of signs that are illuminated were
grandfathered.,
Ms. Monroe said the Board has been more stringent in the last few years in trying to maintain the
pedestrian orientation of the downtown area. She said the Board discussed that aspect when re-
viewing the sign in question and did not feel that an illuminated box sign was necessary.
As a citizen, Ms. Monroe said she appreciates the existence of professional signage in downtown
Edmonds but was concerned that the area not be overpowered in scale with business logos.
Councilmember Wilson inquired about the rationale of the Board's decision. Ms. Monroe said the
Board took into consideration the pedestrian orientation of the downtown area as well as the size
of the area. She noted that the core of downtown Edmonds is only a few blocks long, and the
Board did not feel that an eight foot internally illuminated sign was necessary to attract the
attention of pedestrian traffic. Councilmember Wilson inquired why the illuminated sign for the
bank on 3rd Street was approved by the Board. Ms. Monroe said that sign was discussed at great
length. Councilmember Wilson expressed concern that the Board is not consistent and operates, at
times, outside of its purview. Ms. Monroe agreed that there is inconsistency in the Board's
actions, but she explained that four new members were appointed to the Board within the last year
and they are learning to work together and familiarize themselves with the Edmonds Community
Development Code. She noted that the City does not have a consistent policy of enforcing signs
that were erected without first obtaining ADB approval.
Mr. Lawrence said the sign in question is extremely conservative and illumination is provided by
two 60 watt fluorescent bulbs. He said the sign is designed to have a presence and not be partic-
ularly eye catching. Mr. Lawrence felt that since the sign is above the canopy, it will not be
offensive to anyone walking down the street.

Councilmember Hall noted that McDonalds has geared its sign to fit the character of the communi-
ty. She felt that Mr. Lawrence's business would flourish just as well with a window sign that
was not internally illuminated. Mr. Lawrence said he understood that the Council wished to pre-
serve the character of the downtown area. He pointed out that his office will remain in Edmonds
permanently and is a long-term commitment to the community that will not be shaken by the retail
vacancies.
Mayor Naughten closed the public portion of the hearing.
At the request of Councilmember Hertrich, Mr. Snyder reviewed Chapter 15.15.030 (5) of the Policy
Plan as follows: "An establishment should rely primarily on the quality of its products and/or
services as promotion and not on attention -attracting devices directed toward the chance or
short-term customers; (B) Signs should be kept as simple as possible, relying on symbols to avoid
needless clutter and complexity. Signs should be related to the circulation element serving the
establishment; (D) as an extension of the geographic identifying system, the sign should provide
a business number... landscaping is to be provided".
Councilmember Kasper pointed out that the company is a new business in Edmonds. He said the
building does not have a lot of frontage because it is in the middle of the block and needs to be
identified.
Councilmember Hertrich did not feel that an internally illuminated sign was necessary, based upon
the Policy Plan.
COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, TO UPHOLD THE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN
BOARD'S DECISION REGARDING AP-13-89/ADB-25-89. MOTION CARRIED WITH COUNCILMEMBER KASPER AND
COUNCILMEMBER WILSON OPPOSED.
Councilmember Jaech expressed her appreciation to Ms. Monroe for the efforts of the Architectural
Design Board.
HEARING ON APPEAL OF HEARING EXAMINER DECISION REGARDING EXCAVATION AND GRADING OF APPROXIMATELY .
� 1,250 CUBIC YARDS AT 633-GLEN ST. AP-1 -89 CU- 2-8APPEAL NT: JACK V NDEM N;APPLICANT:
" - JAMES SMITH
('Uc Planning Division Manager Mary Lou Block submitted two polaroid photographs of the site taken
that day (marked Exhibit #1) to the City Clerk. She noted that copies of the Hearing Examiner
decision were placed on the table near the entrance for public review, and a site plan and build-
ing elevations were posted on the bulletin board.
Ms. Block reported that on April 6, 1989, the Hearing Examiner conducted a public hearing on the
application of James Smith for a conditional use permit to grade approximately 1,250 cubic yards
of earth at 633 Glen Street. The proposed grading is part of the development of the subject
property with'a 15 unit apartment building. Most of the grading will be done to create parking
underneath the proposed apartment building.
ft* Block said the Hearing Examiner issued his decision on April 19, 1989 granting the condition-
al use permit. On April 24, 1989, Jack Vandeman filed an appeal requesting review of the permit.
Ms. Block noted that a copy of the appeal, the Hearing Examiner's decision, and a site plan of
the proposed development were included in the Council packets.
Ms. Block said the matter under appeal is the conditional use permit for grading. Staff and the
Hearing Examiner have imposed conditions on the proposed development that will preserve the natu-
ral habitat in Shell Creek. Staff recommends that the Hearing Examiner's decision be upheld.
Ms. Block reviewed the site plan, noting that an existing residence will be retained and convert-
ed to a unit, and a concrete bridge will be constructed across Shell Creek to provide access to
the apartment complex.
Councilmember Hertrich inquired if excavation will occur around the creek. Ms. Block said not to
her knowledge. Councilmember Hertrich inquired if access could be provided from the east rather
than from 7th Avenue. Ms. Block said access to the parking area in that location would be so
steep that it would not meet Code requirements.
Councilmember Dwyer inquired about the status of the SEPA checklist. Ms. Block said a mitigated
Declaration of Nonsignificance was issued. Councilmember Dwyer inquired if that Declaration was
appealed during the appeal period. Ms. Block replied negatively.

Mayor Naughten opened the public portion of the hearing.
Jerry Lovell, Lovell-Sauerland & Associates, representing the applicant, said he and the appli-
cant spoke with the Engineering Department and the Department of Wildlife and learned that access
could not be provided from Glen Street as the building as designed. He said access via 7th Ave.
N. with the bridge and a site plan were submitted to the City and the Department of Wildlife, who
gave a favorable response.
Mr. Lovell submitted five photographs (marked Exhibit #2) to the City Clerk which included the
stream as it exits the subject property and onto an adjoining property, as well as photographs
taken from Caspers Street looking up the street, which illustrated that the stream has been incor-
porated into the residential landscaping. Councilmember Dwyer inquired if the project design was
approved by the ADB. Mr. Lovell replied affirmatively.
In answer to questions raised earlier by Councilmember Hertrich, Mr. Lovell stated that the chan-
nel is approximately 24 to 30 inches in depth. He said the bridge will be constructed with a
foot of freeboard above the 100 year flood plain elevation. The footings, he said, are required
to be a certain distance out from the stream.
Councilmember Wilson inquired what design measures were taken to construct the bridge as aestheti-
cally pleasing as possible. Mr. Lovell said the bridge will be constructed as close to the creek
as- possible and will be precast in three .sections and placed on footings. He said the railings
will be wooden timbers to complement the design of the building.
James Smith, 18500 Olympic View Dr., said the site plan was drawn several times before the final
product was reached. He felt the proposal was very attractive.
Jack Vandeman, 616 Sater Lane, submitted information (documents referred to in his testimony,
which were marked Exhibit #3) to the City Clerk.
Mr. Vandeman said he Sent a letter to Governor Gardner regarding the proposed bridge and was
waiting for a reply.
Mr. Vandeman noted that the Council received twenty-four signatures of residents near the creek
desiring to preserve the creek and wildlife and opposing construction of the proposed bridge.
Mr. Vandeman said the Department of Wildlife has required a 25 foot setback. However, Richard
Johnson from the Department of Fisheries, recommended that a 25 foot setback from each bank be
provided plus a 15 foot building setback. Mr. Vandeman noted that either agency has authority in
this matter, but the applicant chose to go to the Department of Wildlife. He said the Department
of fisheries did not recommend that a bridge be constructed across Shell Creek if access can be
provided via Glen Street.
Mr. Vandeman urged the Council to reject the bridge proposal and/or postpone a decision until a
reply is received from Governor Gardner and until the Department of Wildlife and Department of
Fisheries resolves this matter.
Mayor Naughten opened the public portion of the hearing. No public input was offered.
Mr. Lovell said the applicant has been in contact with the State agencies and intends to adhere
to their regulations. He pointed out that the conditional use permit is for grading only and is
not associated with construction of the bridge. He said the plan for the bridge has not been
approved yet, although it is very likely that it will be approved.
Councilmember Hertrich inquired upon whose authority the applicant was relying with respect to
setbacks. Mr. Lovell replied the Department of Wildlife. He noted that he was advised by City
Staff only that afternoon that the Department of Fisheries had made a comment but he was not
aware of its content. Councilmember Hertrich inquired if the Department of Wildlife commented on
the distance for the footings of the bridge. Mr. Lovell said not to his knowledge. Councilmem-
ber Hertrich was concerned that approval of the bridge has not been given yet because he said the
site plan could be altered if the bridge is not incorporated into the design.
Mayor Naughten closed the public portion of•the hearing.
Councilmember Jaech inquired if the Department of Fisheries has indicated to the City that a
resolution has been reached between them and the Department of Wildlife. Ms. Block replied nega-
tively. She said she has had verbal communication with both agencies and learned that an applica-
tion could be submitted to either agency, and the Department of Fisheries indicated that they
would defer to the Department of Wildlife if an application was submitted to that agency.
EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 5 MAY 16, 1989
Councilmember Jaech inquired if the site plan would be altered if the standards of the Department
of Fisheries were applied. Ms. Block replied affirmatively. She said the building and parking
area would have to have a minimum 40 foot setback from the creek.
Councilmember Jaech said she would like to continue the Council- discussion for one week until a
statement is received from the Department of Fisheries regarding the setbacks.
COUNCILMEMBER JAECH MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST, TO CONTINUE THE COUNCIL DISCUS-
SION UNTIL MAY 23, 1989 IN ORDER TO PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR COMMENT FROM THE TWO STATE AGEN-
CIES WITH RESPECT TO SETBACKS.
Councilmember Dwyer did not feel that a dispute between the two agencies had any bearing on the
conditional use permit for grading. He noted that environmental concerns should have been raised
during the SEPA review, and design questions may still arise from an ADB appeal and can be ad-
dressed at that time. Councilmember Jaech said the grading plan will be affected if the Depart-
ment of Fisheries standards are applied.
Councilmember Wilson inquired if a problem would be encountered if the City required the appli-
cant to make an application with a specific agency. Mr. Snyder said both the Department of Wild-
life and the Department of Fisheries received notification of the project and had an opportunity
to comment during the SEPA review period but neither made any negative comments. He said the
applicant has the authorization to proceed once he receives the stream use permit from one of the
State agencies unless the other State agency appeals the decision or brings injunctive action to
restrain the developer from proceeding.
At the request of Councilmember Wilson, Ms. Block read a letter from the Department of Fisheries
in response to the SEPA checklist which stated, in essence, that.a minimum setback should be 25
feet from the stream plus an additional 15 foot building setback, and all storm water discharge
from the site into Shell Creek should be biofiltered to a minimum of 200 feet of properly de-
signed grassy swail. Bridge construction and storm water discharge into the creek will require
hydraulic project approval.
A ROLL CALL VOTE WAS TAKEN. MOTION CARRIED WITH COUNCILMEMBER HALL, COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH,
COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, AND COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST IN FAVOR; COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, COUNCILMEMBER
DWYER, AND COUNCILMEMBER WILSON OPPOSED.
COMMITTEE REPORT ON RIGHT-OF-WAY REALIGNMENT OF 75TH AVE. W., BETWEEN NORTH MEADOWDALE RD. AND
162ND. ST. S.W.
10.1
� Roger McCorkle, 2122 N.E. Burkins Way, Citizens Committee, said the Committee has concluded that
realigning the originally proposed eight -block area is not feasible after speaking with residents
of the area, and they now propose a two -block area on 74th Pl. W. between 162nd S.W. and North
Meadowdale Road. He said realignment of that portion of the roadway will: 1) identify 74th P1.
W. and 75th P1. W. boundaries; 2) give individual property owners clear title to their bounda-
ries; 3) solve the problem of three structures within the right-of-way on 74th P1. W.; 4).place
the City's utilities within a legal easement; and 5) solve the 80 foot right-of-way problem and
identify where it actually exists.
Bob Anderson, 7370 North Meadowdale Rd., said the Committee felt it was impossible to solve the
problems with the original proposal for an eight -block area and now proposes the two -block area.
Dr. Anderson said the right-of-way on 75th Pl. W. is 95 feet wide and 3 structures on 74th P1. W.
lie within the right-of-way. He said future problems could arise if development occurs within
the right-of-way.
Councilmember Hertrich inquired if development of Dr. Anderson's property will be a problem if
the right-of-way is not realigned. Dr. Anderson replied affirmatively.
Councilmember Hertrich inquired what the Engineering Department thought about the recent propos-
al. City Engineer Bob Alberts said Reid, Middleton & Associates have been Staff's advisors on
the project. He said they felt the proposal for the two -block area could be accomplished, and
they will submit information to the City on how the survey can provide that.
COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED TO DISCUSS THE ISSUE ON JUNE 13TH WITH THE COUNCIL AS A WHOLE. MOTION
r FAILED FOR LACK OF A SECOND.
Discussed ensued with respect to scheduling the continued discussion. The Council concurred to
discuss the issue at the beginning of the May 13th committee -meeting.
The Council recessed to an Executive Session at 9:05 p.m. to discuss legal matters and reconvened
at 9:37 p.m.

Mayor Naughten noted that the City's first ever Waterfront Festival was held on May 13th and 14th
and approximately 20,000 people attended.
Mayor Naughten reminded the Council to tell the Council Resource person if they plan to attend
the Washington Cities & Towns meeting on May 25th.
Mayor Naughten proclaimed that National Tourism Week and Snohomish County Tourism Week are the
third week in May, and Public Works Week is May 21st through May 27th. The public is invited to
the Public Works Department on May 24th at 3 p.m. He also proclaimed May 17th as Transit Appreci-
ation Day.
COUNCIL
Council President Kasper said he received a letter from the School District thanking the Council
for the dinner.
Council discussion ensued with respect to the dinner work meeting on May 30th. It was the consen-.
sus of the Council to hold the dinner work meeting, tentatively scheduled on May 30th.
Council President Kasper noted that a meeting has been scheduled on July 5th, Wednesday, because
July 4th is a holiday. He noted that July 3rd was considered but many of the Councilmembers may
wish to take a four -day weekend. COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WIL-
SON,-TO SCHEDULE THE MEETING ON JULY 5, 1989, PLACE TO BE DETERMINED. MOTION CARRIED.
Council President Kasper noted that an ordinance regarding the Council President Pro Tem has not
been adopted yet. City Attorney Scott Snyder noted that the ordinance will appear on the Consent
Agenda next week. It was the consensus of the Council to appoint Councilmember Hall as Council
President Pro Tem on May 23, Councilmember Wilson on June 6, and Councilmember Nordquist on June
13th.
Student Representative Dave Berdine said he will not be in attendance at next week's meeting
because he will be at a State park serving as a camp counselor.
Councilmember Wilson thanked the Mayor and Staff for doing an excellent job at the Boundary Re-
view Board.
Councilmember Hertrich noted that the City may be able to receive a grant for a recycling pro-
gram. He asked Community Services Director Peter Hahn to explain that to the Council. Mr. Hahn
said the City has a good possibility of receiving up to $50,000 in grant monies from the County
to provide a contract person to study a comprehensive recycling program for the City. He said he
filled out an application and is waiting for the Mayor's signature. COUNCILMEMBER JAECH MOVED,
SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH, TO AUTHORIZE STAFF TO SUBMIT THE APPLICATION TO THE COUNTY.
MOTION CARRIED. (COUNCILMEMBER HALL DID NOT VOTE BECAUSE SHE LEFT THE ROOM FOR A MOMENT AND RE-
TURNED AFTER THE VOTE WAS TAKEN.)
Councilmember Hall felt the City should pursue Mr. Fosso's request to enforce its laws more
strictly with respect to its "poop scoop" ordinance and other related ordinances. Councilmember
Hertrich agreed and felt informational signage would help.
Councilmember Hall said the City has commenced a program called "Elder Alert". She said an or-
ange tube containing medical information inside for elderly person is placed in their refrigera-
tor and a sticker on the door of the refrigerator alerts emergency medical personnel of their
medical condition in the event that they are unconscious. Councilmember Hall said the tubes and
stickers are available at Aldercrest, the Senior Center and the Fire Department.
Councilmember Nordquist said he will be in Chicago and San Antonio next week and will not be able
to attend the Council meeting.
Councilmember Nordquist noted that Parks & Recreation Division Manager Jim Barnes submitted his
notice of resignation. He wished him well. He inquired if the Council wished to review the job
description for that position next week.
Mayor Naughten adjourned the meeting at 9:58 p.m. Because Councilmember Dwyer had some informa-
tion he wanted to relate to the Council, COUNCILMEMBER HALL MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER
NORDQUIST, TO REOPEN THE MEETING. MOTION CARRIED.
Councilmember Dwyer noted that on behalf of the Boy's Club, Ms. Allen submitted a list of repairs
to the Club to the Council at their suggestion. He requested a consensus of the Council to have
Staff ascertain the costs for items 5, 6, and 7 (new shed door, replace a broken window, and
