APPROVAL OF MINUTES The minutes of the meeting of March 5 had been mailed and posted, and there being no omiss- ions nor corrections, they were approved as presented. HEARING: ON APPEAL FROM PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION #258 Hearing was held on the appeal from the recommendation of the Planning Commission in their Resolution #258, recommending denial of a proposed amendment to the zoning map to designate as BC (Community Business) property described in File R-16-67. City Planner Merlin Logan reviewed the facts on the area, and read the minutes of the Planning Commission on this hearing. Council hearing was then opened. Mrs. Neil, 230 3rd S., stated that the noise from the Public Works building and the smoke and odor from the Disposal Plant -made this area unsuitable for apartment building, and if the zoning could be changed to commercial, she could get back the value from her property which she felt was now devaluated by the city facilities. Mr. Jack Bevan, in the audience • also felt that this was essentially so. He added that the mortgage people shy away from the area because of the present zoning. No one else wished to comment, and the hearing was O closed. Councilman Haines said he was in favor of providing some relief to the owners of property that is located.next to the commercial buildings (city). Councilman Bennett wondered if something could be done with the maintenance yard at the Public Works building to give some relief from noise and confusion to the surrounding area, and he felt Planner Logan could perhaps take a look at the situation to see about screening, etc. Mrs. Neil, in the audience, had mentioned that her attorney was supposed to be present at this hearing, but that he had not appeared. Therefore, Councilman Bennett said he thought the owners should have a chance to have their -attorney present. Mayor Harrison suggested that perhaps a neighborhood business zoning instead of a commercial would be the best answer to the pro- lem. Following some lengthy discussion, it was moved by Councilman Bennett, seconded by Councilman Haines that this matter in File R-16-67 be referred back to the Planning Comm- ission to review the possibility of zoning it to neighborhood business, and waiving any time or fee requirements. Motion carried unanimously with five councilmen present and voting. HEARING: ON APPEAL FROM PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION #261. Hearing was held on the appeal from the recommendation of the Planning Commission in their Resolution #261, recommending denial of a proposed amendment to the zoning map to designate as RML property described in File R-20-67. City Planner Logan read the minutes of this hearing before the Planning Commission. Hearing was then opened. Howard Olds spoke for the proponents 6f the rezone for a planned unit development type of apartment complex which he stated was an ideal location for this, being on an improved arterial, and within walking distance of a shopping area, doctor's offices, and near the hospital. He felt the location met all the requirements for planned unit development.- Mr. Olds added that the proposed plan was for a 2 story townhouse garden court apartment, and that there were few parcels of land available that were big enough to take advantage of this type of development. A gentleman representing Environmental Properties, who build this type of Planned Unit Deve- lopment, was present and noted that besides one development in Bellevue, Environmental Pro- perties were also now building in Lynnwood. He added that the plans were for similar faci- lities in Edmonds if the rezone were granted. No one in the audience wished to speak against the proposal, and the hearing was closed. Councilman Slye and Kincaid noted that in the past, appeals for a rezone had been granted after the council had been shown proposed plans for the property, and that in some cases, the resulting use of the property was not in the least as it had been presented to council. Mr. Olds replied that he would be glad to sub- mit a contract setting the height, greenbelt, and setbacks for the development. Councilman Bemmett felt this request was premature at this particular time. Councilman Slye suggested that this be referred back to the Planning Commission with the contract and building plans from the proponents presented to them for further consideration. Following further discus- sion, it was moved by Councilman Bennett, seconded by Councilman Kincaid that the council approve the recommendation from the Planning Commission in their Resolution #261, and deny the appeal for rezone in File R-20-67. Motion carried with Councilmen Bennett, Kincaid and Nordquist voting in favor; Haines and Slye against. PROPOSED ORDINANCE ON PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION #248 (DOCES) The matter in regard to Planning Commission Resolution #248, contract with Doces for a re- zone to RML had been tabled from the meeting of March 5. City Planner Logan presented the contract from Doces, which had been studied by him and the Attorney. Mr. John Ehrlichman was present as attorney for Doces. During discussion and reviewing of the drawings for the proposed apartment complex, it was noted that one diagram showed 110 units and less setback, whereas the original brown drawing shown to council had approximately 91 units, and differ- ent setbacks. The parking spaces had been changed to leave some planned for the RML in the CG z one for the furniture building. As far as the contract was concerned, Mr. Ehrilichman noted that he had authority to speak for Mr. Doces. Following discussion, a motion was made by Councilman Bennett, seconded by Councilman Slye that this matter be continued to the April 2 meeting, when an appropriate drawing which will qualify under the code as to number of units, parking spaces and setbacks can be submitted, and the contract can then be affirmed when all the plans are approved by the City Planner. Motion carried unanimously. OMr. Ehrlichman stated that he would see that the 54 car spaces which were discussed would be left in the CG zone, and that the property line for the RML zone would be that shown on the original brown diagram, if the 1.75 ratio for parking spaces could not be met other- wise, and that fewer units would be built if need be to meet the parking space requirements. SECOND READING: PROPOSED ORDINANCE ON PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION #264 Second reading of a proposed ordinance on Planning Commission Resolution #264, to amend the zoning ordinance in regard to landscaping requirements for parking lots, was heard. Mr. Harry Skinner in the audience suggested several amendments to the proposed ordinance. Mr. Wade James stated that he felt the proposed ordinance in its entirety was unduly restric- 'tive, and needed more study. Mayor Harrison asked City Planner Logan to work with these architects on a possible revision of the proposed ordinance as now written. "It was there- fore moved by Councilman Kincaid, seconded by Councilman Nordquist that -,his proposed Ordinance be tabled to the meeting of April 16. Motion carried.
