HEARING: PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT ROLL - MAIN STREET SEWERS •
Hearing was held on the preliminary assessment roll for Resolution of Intention #205, proposed
sewering of Main Street, vicinity of 9% - 11t'. Engineer Wayne Jones explained the scope and
cost of the project, started by a resolution of the Council. The City is trying to sewer areas
that have been bypassed before, and they are trying to keep costs even with other projects in
the City. City participation has dropped the assessment from $11.46 per zoned front foot to an
actual assessment of $8.50 per zoned front foot. The hearing was then opened to the audience.
Mr. J. F. Frederickson asked about along the creek bed. He said he could build on his lots if
he had a sewer. The engineer said at this time it would not be feasible as the line would have
to go all the way down the gully to 81b Ave. Mr. C. M. Gooby, 10A P1. N..said he was on the slope
below 100 P1. and would the sewer be low enough to serve his basement. He was assured that it
would be. Mrs. Samuel Drobner, 1043 Main Street, stated that she -has had to put in a new drain
field, and has to have her septic tank pumped every two years, and is very much in favor of the
sewer. Lloyd Engbretson, 1035 Main Street, has no problem, and was in favor of postponing the
project. Scott Fiscus, 101b Pl. N. said he did not need a sewer, however if it will help property
values then he was in favor of the LID. Mr. Gooby asked how prices compared, and was told that
$8.50 was an average cost per zoned front foot in the city. Mayor Maxwell stated that City
participation would be approximately $10,000.00. Mr. Frederickson said he thought all the lots
should be sewered, and not just part of the area. He was told that it would be more practical
to do the lots along the creek while doing Unit 2. There was no one else in the audience who
wished to speak and the hearing was closed. It was then moved by Councilman Tuson, seconded by
Councilman Olds that proposed Ordinance #1221 be passed, creating LID #153, severing Main Street,
in the vicinity of 9b and 111h, and that the Water and Sewer Dept. of the City of Edmonds will pay
any excess of $8.50 per zoned front foot. Motion carried.
HEARING: PETITION OF INTENTION FOR ANNEXATION - INTERSECTION HIGHWAY 99 & 1-W, 238o, 84%
The engineer stated that sewering of the property would have to be across Edmonds Way to existing
lines. Attorney Murphy said that the Councils' decision is only on whether to accept the .proposed
annexation with or without city indebtedness. Walt Mitchell, Olympic View Water District, was in
the audience and said that in any future annexations the City should discuss water problems with
the water district. He stated that Mr. Salmonson had told him that his real estate agent had told
him to annex the property if he wanted to get any rezones in the city. The City Attorney said the
annexation should not be accepted until after the election September 200. Hearing was then closed.
It was moved by Councilman Tuson, seconded by Councilman Olds that all property within the territory
hereby sought to be annexed shall be assessed at the same rate and on the same basis as property
within the City of Edmonds for any now outstanding indebtedness of said City, including assessments
or taxes in payment of any bonds issued or debts contracted prior to or existing at the date of
annexation.
HEARING: PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION #175 - FILE CP-8-66 - AMENDMENT TO COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Designating the west side of Second N. from Bell to Edmonds as single-family. A petition from 8
property owners involved asking for the change in the comprehensive plan. Mr. S. L. Saindon
requested that two of the council members abstain from voting because of a conflict of interest.
The Mayor read the minutes of the Planning Commission concerning the hearing on this property. Mr.
Ralph Stewart, 402 N. 2nd said that people moving in tb the area were proud of their homes, and
would like to see it kept that way, the high buildings cutting the view have no place in this
area. Mr. Saindon said that in many areas 35 feet is too high. If he were to build in this area
he would like to build low triplexes or duplexes in keeping with other homes. Councilman Tuson
said he had called Dr. Campbell, University of Washington, Dept. of Governmental Research and
his opinion was that he did not have a conflict of interest. Attorney Murphy agreed with this
opinion. Hearing was then closed. A motion was made by Councilman Kincaid, seconded by Council-
man McGinness that proposed Ordinance #1222 be passed amending the Comprehensive Plan of the City
of Edmonds, according to Planning Commission Resolution #1?5 from multiple to single-family on the
west side of Second North from Bell to Edmonds. A roll call vote was taken with Councilman Olds,
Slye and Bevan voting no, and Councilman Harrison, Tuson, McGinness and Kincaid voting yes. Motion
carried. Councilman Olds stated that he was opposed to changing the Comprehensive Plan at the
present time and that it must be thought out for future use. Councilman Slye asked the Engineer
•
to request the Planning Commission to study building heights and structural requirements.
HEARING: LINTON-LINKS APPEAL FROM PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION #176 & #1?7
Planning Commission recommended denial of change in comprehensive plan and rezone from RS-6 to RMH
property located north and northeast of Edmonds Junior High. A petition with signatures of 17 home
owners was presented, protesting the rezoning of this property to RMH. Attorney Bill Wilson showed
drawing of the property and explained the Comprehensive Plan calls for this area to be zoned multiple,
but that the Comprehensive Zoning plan does not. Minutes of the Planning Commission Hearing were
read by the Mayor. Gilchrist, South County Planner reported that he recommended the rezoning to
RMH as it seemed a logical extension of RM. Lem Everett, 403 3rd Ave. N. asked how close to the
Jr. High it would be built. The building inspector stated a total of 20 feet setback was required,
with a minimum of 5 feet on one side or other. Property owners feel that if one property is rezoned
it will soon go all the way to Caspers, and thdt it was a good home in a good location and why tear
it down. Mr. Linke, who owns the property said that it was not a desirable home site, that it was
noisy and kids were always running through the yard. A motion was made by Councilman Olds, seconded
by Councilman Bevan that an ordinance be drawn reversing the decision of the Planning Commission
on property described in Planning Commission Resolution #176 deleting the exception in the amendment
to the Comprehensive Plan. It was then moved by Councilman Kincaid, seconded by Councilman McGinness
that they lay the matter on the table for further study until October 4, 1966. A roll call vote was
taken, with Councilen Olds, Harrison, Slye and Bevan voting No, and Councilmen Tuson, McGinness
and Kincaid voting Yes. Motion failed. The question was then called for on the motion by Councilman
Olds, reversing the decision of the Planning Commission on property described in.Planning Commission
Resolution #175 deleting the exception in the amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. A roll call vote
was taken with Councilmen Tuson, Slye, McGinness and Kincaid voting No, and Councilman Olds, Harrison
and Bevan voting Yes. Motion failed. Councilman Olds: -,stated that he thought they could act on
amending the Comprehensive Plan at this time without acting on the rezone.
It was"moved by Councilman Slye, seconded by Councilman McGinness that the attorney be instructed to 0
303,
• draw an ordinance to amend the Comprehensive Plan according to Planning Commission Resolution #176.
A roll call vote showed Councilen Olds and Bevan voting No, and the other five councilmen voting yes.
Motion carried. It was moved by Councilman Slye, seconded by Councilmen Bevan that in view of the
fact the rezone does not conform to the Comprehensive Plan that Planning Commission Resolution #177
not be acted upon at this time. Motion carried.
PROPOSED RESOLUTION #139 - SOUTH END ANNEXATION.
Attorney Murphy reported on the Board of Review meeting. He also stated that Mr. Scott and Mr.
Gorton, counsel for Union Oil questioned the validity of an election tying Parcels "A" and "B"
together, and that keeping,.Area P•B" (Union Oil property) it might jeopardize the election. Councilman
McGinness moved, seconded by Councilman Olds, that proposed Resolution #139 be passed deleting Area
"B", and repealing Resolution #136. Motion carried.
