All councilmen were present. APPROVAL OF MINUTES • Minutes of the council meeting of July 19 had been posted and mailed, and since there were no omissions nor corrections, they stood approved as presented. 302 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 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 roll call vote showed Councilen Olds and Bevan voting No, and the other five councilmen voting yes. Motion carried.
