BICYCLE TRAIL REPORT
City Engineer Leif Larson reported on the bicycle trail standards. Each council
member was given a,revised Bicycle Path Study which included purposes, goals and
definitions; a trail plan with policies for planning,, locations, systems and design,
as well as coordination, feasibility, criteria for evaluation, and drawings showing
standards.- Engineer Larson stated that the trail plan and locations were -as' -pertains
to Edmonds, and the coordination with surrounding areas was taken into consideration.
He said the drawings showed routes passed by council, along with proposed future
routes. The standards included 6 categories: unimproved roadway, -roadway with storm
sewer, improved roadway sidewalk both sides, improved roadway sidewalk one side,
natural trail in parks, and a typical section. The City Engineer rioted that this
would all require continued study, particularly in the vicinity of crossing of the
arterials.
Rod Garretson, Recreation Director; told council that the Park Board basically was
in favor of the plans as presented, except felt an 8 ft. width would be more desirable
than the 5 ft. The Park Board also chose to retain a path on 220th, and are still
considering additional routes.
• Following some discussion, a motion was made by Councilman,Nelson, seconded by
Councilman Anderson to instruct the City Attorney to draft a resolution to amend the
comprehensive trail system in Resolution 260 by adding the proposed future routes as
presented under Table II. The motion carried. Table II included: Admiral Way - south
from Dayton Beach Rest Stop to Union Oil Beach; Dayton Street to Yost Park - east on
Dayton from Third Ave. S.,I'south on 6th Ave. to Maple, east on Maple from 6th Ave.
to Yost Park; Yost Park to Maplewood School - from Yost Park east on Main Street to
Maplewood, north on Maplewood to 200th Street W.,.east on 200th Street S.W. to

standards as contained in .the City Engineer's presentation of specifications. The
motion carried.
REPORT ON HORSES IN PUBLIC PARKS
Director Rod Garretson reported on the policy followed by the City regulating horses

M
•
in public parks. He read a letter stating that the Parks Advisory Board approves the
procedure followed, and he requested confirmation from council of a policy as follows:
1. Horses and recreational animals be permitted in Yost Park on the trail running
from Shell Valley to Main Street at Olympic Avenue, and in the undeveloped southeast
portion of the park.
2. Horses and other recreational animals be permitted to travel the length of Pine
Ridge Park,'using either existing trail, until definite plans for limited development
are decided.
3. Riding of horses and other recreational animals be permitted upon three City
beaches (specifically Brackett's Landing, Union Oil Beach, and Dayton Street Beach)
from October 1st through March 31st.
4. Riding of horses and other recreational animals be permitted upon City owned land
near the northwest corner of Perrinville.
5. Horses and other recreational animals will -use City streets for all other intra-
city travel.
6. Horses and other recreational animals and riding of horses and other recreational
animals not be permitted in all other City Parks.
Councilman Nelson asked the City Engineer for any comment -regarding use of the right-
of-way and/or asphalt areas by horses. Engineer Larson answered that the asphalt
streets were harder on the animals than on the street itself, although he personally
felt if better to separate horse trails from roadway. Councilman Welling commented
that he objected to the wording that said "tolerance policy" was followed in Yost
and Pine Ridge parks, when Director Garretson noted exclusion of horses from all
parks except the tolerance policy in these two. Councilman Welling stated that he
believed a policy should be made and then stick to whatever is decided.
Director Garretson asked for council committment of a more specific nature for Sea=
view and Sierra Parks, as required by the IAC. Councilwoman Shippen requested this,
and Mayor Harrison agreed that he would make a firm council committment listing the
in -kind labor, etc. for the IAC application follow-up.
REPORT ON BOY'S CLUB FIELDMOUSE
John Harter; Director of the Boy's Club, told council that they now had approximately
500 members, and were growing rapidly. He explained the recreational facilities
offered and the open door policy of the club. He then spoke of the need for work to
be done inside the building, and the use of the building by other groups.
M,A.A. Ron Whaley reported on his -investigation of the building. He noted that this
had been a W.P.A. project in 1937, and the building classified as temporary. In 1965
the City leased the building from Edmonds School District on a year to year basis,
and this had continued to the present time. In 1969 a letter was sent from the
Mayor to Wade Adams of the Boy's Club for their exclusive use of the building; that
they would pay a proportionate share for maintenance and upkeep costs, etc. Also
that the preschool and Arts Festival have limited use of the facilities., The rental
was set at $360 per year, UGN funded. However, because of lack of funds, the Boy's
Club has not maintained the building in a satisfactory manner. Neither has the city
been able to maintain it adequately, but has spent morerand more each year than has
been -realized from rental. M:A.A. Whaley recommended that -the minimum amount of
work, estimated to cost $2368, be done for repair and the building phased outc.over
the next year or so. He noted that this expenditure had not been anticipated for
the 1974 budget. He also noted that the School District would not participate, but
would rather -tear the building down. M.A.A. Whaley then recommended spending the
above amount, funded from Dept. 31 and the Boy's Club would help maintain the premises.
Mayor Harrison said that this could be done by city forces and without further council •
action.
REPORT ON DRIFTWOOD PLAYHOUSE
M.A.A. Ron Whaley reported that in June of 1968 the municipal lease -lease -back agree-
ment was signed with the Driftwood Players. He then pointed out several sections in
the lease agreement, namely sections 11, 16 and 17, stating return of the property
to the city, liability of the city, and repairs and maintenance. Mr. Whaley noted
that the city council, at its work meeting of May 6, 1969, said that the city would,
obtain some material, and put this on the parking lot to improve it. This was done,
and it was then the intention that Driftwood would then complete the gravel surfaced
parking lot and mark off stalls. He mentioned that there was lack of adequate main-
tenance by Driftwood as well as unauthorized work done in some areas. In June 1973
the Fire and the State Electrical Inspector brought to light specific items of
neglect. The Building Maintenance Dept. reported in June of 1973 on 15 items for
necessary maintenance. Mr. Whaley had then written to Mr. McNeil regarding the
Playhouse and calling attention to the obligations in the Agreement and indicating
the areas needing attention. Mr..McNeil and Wade James met with Mr. Whaley and said
they would go back and attend to these matters. However, he never heard from them
again. On January 21, 1974, the Dept. of Labor and Industries state.electrical
inspector again went to the Playhouse and it was the opinion that a yearly inspection
be made of the premises and that unqualified electrical work had been done and a
licensed;, bonded electrical contractor should be hired to do this work.
M.A.A. Whaley stated that he was concerned that the structure is not maintained in a
proper manner for public safety, and that without proper maintenance it might not be
0
•
here 20 years from now. He noted.that the city had appropriated $400 to the Drift-
wood Playhouse in.the 1974 budget to help with these problems, and he questioned the
attitude and cooperation of the Driftwood people. Wade James stated that the Players
had entered into a.maintenance agreement with Paul Roy to do the work. They had
budgeted $100 per month to pay for this. He noted that it was a matter of opinion
on the public safety issue and felt some -of the complaints were nitpicking. He -ad-
vised that hopefully they could take care of the housekeeping items on the list, as
a regular -program was underway now, but it would probably take 6 to 8 months to get
all these items taken care of. Mayor Harrison said he was glad to see this underway
and the City would make an inspection in 3 to 4 months to check on the progress.
Paul Roy, 844 Alder, stated he had built the building and the'structure itself was
soundly completed although there were some problems, but he nevertheless felt some
items were.being overdone on emphasis.
Councilwoman Shippen said the Driftwood Theatre was an asset to the City; that she
had been given many hours of pleasure attending the performances; and that she hoped
Driftwood would be cooperative, as she had been the one to ask council to consider
helping them'with funds from the 1974 budget.
Building OfficiAl Harry Whitcutt•told council that'if the parking lot were gravelled
and the parking layout completed, it would be acceptable. Councilman Welling said
he felt the electrical problems seemed to be serious ones and some program should be
undertaken to take care of these items first. Wade James answered that he was not
aware of electrical problems as some have been taken care of already, and there do
not seem to be any serious problems now.. He said he would be happy to go over the
premises with the state electrical inspector. Fire Chief Jack'Cooper advised the
• council that there was a serious problem when due to improper housekeeping and in-
adequate exiting, there could be loss of life in an emergency.
Mayor Harrison stated that the City would make an inspection of the premises after a
three month period to see if adequate measures have been taken.
REPORT ON STORM WATER PROBLEM - VICINITY WALNUT WEST OF 7TH. EAST OF 6TH
City Engineer Leif Larson reported that in 1965 the city comprehensive storm drain-
age plan was adopted, and that at this point in time it seemed to be,outmoded and
should be re-evaluated. This specific problem area is a spring area,.and tests have
been made to determine what procedure could be followed to alleviate the condition.
It has been determined that the existing -storm and sanitary sewers are not exfilt
rating'into.the subject area. Therefore, Engineer Larson recommended that a storm
sewer be installed from Alder Street to the alley to provide for surface drainage
and some.subsurface drainage at an estimated cost of $1,000. Study would continue
on,the underground water problem. Mr. William Gear, a property owner in the area in
question, stated that this would not solve the entire problem, but it was a big step
in,the right direction.
INTERIM REPORT FROM ENGINEER ON LAKE BALLINGER STORM WATER DRAINAGE
Engineer Larson reported that Lake Ballinger takes all storm water runoff from the
area and '.has increased with urbanization. He stated that the Snohomish County
Engineering Department is making a survey of this and upon completion, he will come
back to council with a report on their findings. Engineer Larson spoke of the
coliform counts and analysis and advised regarding the other agency reports on the
area. When too many nutrients are fed into the lake water itsupports more algae,
• and the agencies recommend that Lake Ballinger requires continued study to protect
it. Engineer Larson suggested that continuous street sweeping and cleaning of
catchbasins to protect the drainage waters into the lake would help to reduce the
contimination. He recommended that a study might be made to see if a certain per-
centage of the sewer utility charge could be used for this purpose. He then recom-
mended a continued follow-up with a report in 60 days of progress in the matter.
REPORT ON BIDS FOR AID CAR
Fire Chief Jack Cooper reported that bids had been opened on January 25 by the City
Clerk for an Aid Car unit. Bids had been received from GMC Truck and Coach Division,
SeaTac Ford Truck Sales, Inc., Chef's Campers, Inc., Ray Industries, Inc., Franz
Ridgeway Distributors, and Superior Northwest Coach, Inc. Bids had been submitted
on Section I for basic bid for van; Section II, conversion of van; Section III for
cbmplete unit; and Special Bid on unit available immediately.
After reviewing the bids, Chief Cooper recommended acceptance of Superior Northwest
Coach, Inc. bid in the amount of $14,248.88, including tax, for Section III with no
deviations from the specifications and a 60 day delivery date.
There followed discussion on cost of the original aid unit as compared to this new
unit; the extra items in the specs that were not items on the old aid car; and the
problem with the insurance collection in regard to the totally damaged van.
Chief Cooper advised that some citizens had in the past contributed money to the
Fire Dept. for the Aid Unit; that this had been placed in the Pioneer First Federal
Savings & Loan and with interest had some $3,000 available from these donations,
and that this could be used to help finance the new Aid Car. Councilman Nelson

u
questioned the new set of specifications being different from the old in requirements
for the unit. It was explained that cabinets had been added to the specs as well as
hot water unit, which was felt to be of importance in adequately administering aid
to victims in many situations. Chief Cooper advised that the City Attorney would
become involved with the insurance company in regrad to the old vehicle. He felt
a figure of $10,000 would.be a fair settlement on the damaged aid unit. On the
question of funding for the new unit, Chief*Cooper stated that some changes in.
priorities would have to be made by council., Councilman Nelson said he was.not aware
of"the need for some of.the additional items, and.what would the legal requirements
be. Chet Bennett, in the audience, told council that this unit was necessary, very
worthwhile, .and an important item for the city; that its job was.saving lives; and
that if the Fire Chief and Assistant Chief felt the need for these additional items,
it was fine with him, as he would not be.qualified to decide on the specific needs.
M.A.A..Whaley.suggested that this problem be deferred to the next week council
meeting for re -analyzing of priorities and funding. Mayor Harrison said he felt.the
need for a sophisticated unit for the city, and would recommend committing ourselves
to purchase of the vehicle and determine how to fund it at .our leisure.
Following some further discussion,. a motion was made by Councilman.Welling, seconded
by Councilman•Nordquist to accept the bid of Superior Northwest Coach, Inc. at a cost
of $14,248.88,'including tax, for purchase of the Aid Unit under Section III of the
specifications, and.the Mayor be authorized to enter into contract for..the vehicle.
Motion carried.
REPORT ON EXTENDED BIDS FOR OFFICE FURNITURE
Mayor Harrison advised that no new office furniture bids have.been received, and
specs would be ready next week when council will be.asked for authorization to
call for bids. •
DISCUSSION ON HAGER BUILDING - SECOND AND MAIN
The Mayor explained that a letter from the attorney for.Harbor Construction had
requested that their problem be heard before council tonight. Attorney Chester
Bennett, in the audience, introduced Richard Kelleher, attorney for Harbor Construc-
tion Company, who had asked Attorney Bennett to help look into this matter of height
of the building and help present their case before council: He then introduced
Doug Hager, owner of the Hager Building at Second and Main, and Bruce Beard, the
president of Harbor Construction Company. Attorney Bennett gave a short summary of
the history of the building on Second and Main, as well as mentioning the three other
buildings being planned for. construction by the Harbor Company in the city., These
buildings are the proposed Alaska Building, the -building at Laebugten Wharf, and the
planned warehouse on Fifth South. Mr. Bennett stated that he had permission from
the.people involved to suggest to council that the Alaska Building project and the
one for Laebugten Wharf be -formally submitted on February 4 to the Amenities. Design
Board for review on ideas on howw to create a situation compatible with the environ-
mental needs of the city. He also recommended that the Hager Building matter be
informally submitted to the Board to see what might be done to lessen the problem
raised by some people in the community.
Councilman Nelson questioned the drawings submitted by the architect, and•Mr. Beard
explained that the Walton & Pomeroy drawings were the originals. However, there
were subsequent mechanical drawings submitted to the city departments. City Planner
Joe Wallis stated that the plans for this building seen by the Planning Dept. at no
time showed the mechanical equipment on the roof. It was pointed out that the
mechanical equipment had been started without a permit, but they received one when
they were notified of this. Attorney Bennett said he was not suggesting lifting of •
the moratorium, just bring these before the Amenities Design Board. Councilwoman
Shippen raised the question of how many of these buildings in fact had permits and
would be required to go before this Board. Mayor Harrison said he felt this was a
fine proposal to submit three plans to the Amenities Board, and was confident that
a solution would come out of this.
Councilman Nelson suggested some sort of shield for the mechanical equipment on the
Hager Building roof, and Bruce Beard advised that he had thought of a louvered
screening. Councilman Nordquist stated that the City had tried to maintain an "old"
type atmosphere, and what made Mr. Beard put this type of building here? Mr. Beard
said his discussions with people and the attitude here made him feel that foot
traffic was the thing most needed,,so the -best type of building would bean office
building to create this, and clean, crisp, straight lines would be best. Ward
Phillips said that the people were concerned with the changing image of this town,
and -the Hager Building created a controversial issue in the city. From citizen in-
put, he found no interest in metal warehouses such as the one.going up next to Crow
Hardware, and what attitude would the Harbor Construction 'take on this. Mr. Beard
answered that both owners of these metal buildings have the need of -space to fill,
and he was confident that the tastes of the city could be fulfilled; that this was
not a serious problem; and that the Design Board suggestions would.be taken into
consideration. Mayor Harrison suggested a metal building.could be softened with
overhang and with addition of windows and doors.. Paul Roy stated that beauty was
in the eyes of the beholder, and some people like metal buildings.
These -buildings as mentioned will.be reviewed by the Amenities.Design Board as pro-
posed, and council took the matter under advisement. Ed Robinson thanked the
council for the.position taken and stated that in the long run whatever is decided
would be best for everyone concerned.

DISCUSSION ON BOAT LOFT, INC.
Bill Karr, owner of Boat Loft, Inc. on Admiral Way had written Mayor and Council to
request exclusion from the moratorium placed by council on building permit applica-
tions. He stated that he recognized the legality of the situation, but had a
specific proVII& and asked for relief. There followed discussion on the type of
structure which Mr. Karr was planning to erect, and that it was indeed in keeping
with the surrounding area, being exactly the same as the one already there on the
property, and to be placed in back of,, -,.the present building.
City Attorney Wallace advised that council was the only body which could grant an
exception to the moratorium. Councilman Nelson suggested that Boat Loft, Inc.
submit drawings, etc. and plans to the City Clerk before Friday.so that council
could receive them in the mailing of the council packets and use this for guide-
lines in order to decide on the request for exception next week. If Mr. Karr does
this, council will give him an answer at the next meeting. It was moved by
Councilman Nelson, seconded by Councilman Anderson that Boat Loft, Inc. be requested
to bring in their design plans to submit to the City Clerk prior to Friday in order
that council members might receive them for study and consideration for exception;
and that the same apply.to Dewey Leyda if he will also submit his plans for review
before next week. The motion carried.
REVIEW OF PROPOSED SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE
Attorney John Wallace advised council that this must be reviewed by the state for
conformity before council passage. He therefore suggested that they review -the
• proposed ordinance for input at -the meeting next Tuesday and following this, the
proposed ordinance will be sent to the state.

APPOINTMENT TO BOARD OF APPEALS
Mayor Harrison again placed the name of Wade James for appointment to the Board of
Appeals. Councilman Nelson asked that his motion to delay be brought back to
council for action on his original motion to confirm the appointment. Councilwoman
Shippen said she had a question on the Sail Inn Tavern parking not being adequate
and wished to have Mr. James comment on this, as well as on the parking spaces for
the building on Main Street. Mr. James answered that he had leased the extra needed
Spaces on Main Street from Bock; that it was a 5 year lease. Councilman Welling
asked what happens to the lease after the five years. Mr. James explained that he
would then be forced to find space within the required number of feet. He explained
that the spaces at the Sail Inn Tavern were an oversight on his part and the city's.
Harry Whitcutt stated that this was correct. Councilwoman Shippen then questioned
Mr. James on how he would lean in regard to interpretation of the,city code. He
answered that he would probably tend to be more liberal than some, and he felt strict
adherence to building codes is folly for everyone. Harry Whitcutt told council that
despite some differences of opinion between him and Mr. James, he nevertheless felt
he would be an excellent member for the Board of Appeals.
Councilman Nelson then asked that his motion, made and seconded at the last meeting,
be acted upon. Councilman Anderson asked for the question, and a roll call vote
showed Councilman Nelson voting in favor of confirmation, the four remaining members
against, and the motion failed to carry.
Councilman Welling noted that he recognized Wade James as a hard worker and substan-
tial member of the community, but that he had a rather liberal attitude and was very
honest about it, and that he felt a member of this -board should be someone who would
adhere to the rules as set forth.
Mayor Harrison then offered the name of Earl Morris for appointment to the Board.
The Mayor stated that Mr. Morris had been a partner with Dan Miller for a number of
years and did considerable work in this area. He also ran an antique shop in the
location where the flower shop -is now. Mr. Morris lives in north Edmonds. There
was council discussion, and the opinion seemed to be that it would be of advantage
to be able to interview prior to confirming appointments to these Boards and Com-
missions. It was then moved by Councilman Welling, seconded by Councilman
Nordquist to consider the confirmation of the appointment of Earl Morris to the
Board of Appeals'at next week's meeting, and send an invitation to Mr. Morris to
appear before council at that time. Councilwoman Shippen stated that she agreed
that it -was no longer sufficient for a person to be of good character and a good
citizen, but that each should have the necessary qualifications -for serving on
important Boards and Commissions. Mayor Harrison asked the City Clerk to see
that the interview of Mr. Morris is placed first on next week's agenda. On call
for the question, the motion carried.
CLAIMS FOR DAMAGES
The City Clerk presented two claims for damages filed during the week., They were
from C-K Color Labs, 550 Main, for damages and loss due to dirty water, and from
Robert R. & Donna Johnson for backup of sewer from a line located on city property
resulting in damage in,a house owned by them on 78th Place West. Council
•
•
acknowledged receipt of these two claims and referred them to the City Clerk for
processing.
MISCELLANEOUS
Councilman Welling stated that he would like to see a review of the city's policy
for insurance on equipment.
There was no further business to come before council, and the meeting was adjourned
at 11:45 P.M.

Earl Morris, architect, was interviewed by members of the council. Following
this, a motion was made by Councilman Nordquist and seconded by Councilman
Winters to confirm the appointment of Earl Morris to the Board of Appeals. Carried.
COUNCIL PARTICIPATION
Councilman Nordquist asked that the CDC Minutes indicate who was present at
the meeting.
Councilman Nordquist asked the Fire Chief if anything has been done with regard
to the accident claim for the aid car. Chief Cooper answered that the file has
been turned over to the City Attorney. Mr. Wallace said that he has just reviewed
the file and he briefly explained what has taken place to date.
Councilman Welling inquired about minutes of the Board of Appeals Meetings.
Building Official Whitcutt stated that the Building'Department secretary takes

Mayor Harrison said that the members of the Blue Ribbon Committee were anxious
to get started and he asked that Councilman Nordquist set a date for the first
meeting of that committee.
AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION
Jim Mueller asked if there would be a report on the Harbor Building. Attorney
Wallace stated that at the last council meeting Chet Bennett had made a proposal
on behalf of Harbor Construction Company, and that the council had indicated
that they would like to considet that proposal. This proposal was an agreement
to submit all three of the proposed buildings to be constructed by Harbor
Construction to the Amenities Design Board for review. This was with the
stipulation that the two new buildings, Laebugten Wharf and the Alaska Publishing
Warehouse, would be subject to the new regulations that are proposed for the
Amenities Design Board. Neither party would be bound by the Design Board's
review as to the existing Harbor Building and either party would be free to
pursue whatever course of action after that review by the Design Board as to
the Harbor Building that they felt they should take. Following further discussion
on this, a motion was made by Councilman Gellert and seconded by Councilman
Anderson to request the representatives of Harbor Construction and the Hager
Building to reduce their offer of January 29th to writing and then the city accepting
the offer on that basis. This offer should be reduced to writing by the next council
meeting. Motion carried. ,
