Building Official, Harry Whitcutt, reported that this ordinance is for the purpose
of adopting the 1975 National Electrical Code and repealing two sections of the
Edmonds Building and Pluinbing Code. Wewould be deleting a portion regarding
guardrails, and a portion which permitted plastic plumbing in buildings over
two stories in height. Councilman Welling asked Mr. Whitcutt to bring something
next week that would justify the required use of GFCI in the City of Edmonds
and why we have to abandon the plastic plumbing over two stories. Mr. Whitcutt
said that the matter regarding thermal insulation has been refered to the
Code Committee for their study and they will give resolution to the Council.

Commission Minutes which refer to this item.
PARKING QUESTION
Dave Larson, reported what has taken place up to this point. He said that Wade
James had made a survey to come up with.the average parking spaces required for
off-street parking. They determined that this would come to one parking space
for every 500 to 600 feet. Mr. Larson asked the Council to instruct the staff
to set.this matter for hearing before the Planning Commission. He said that the
Parking Committee would plan on making a presentation and recommendations. It
is their hope that refinements would ome out of these discussions. Councilman
Gellert said that he would like to have input from the Planner. Mr. Larson
pointed out that the Planner has been sitting in on these meetings. Mr. Larson
said the Committee felt that if youhave large parking requirements, it is a
self-deafeating thing::as you encourage more vehicular traffic. There was also
discussion on phasing out the grandfather clause. Mr. James said another thing
the Committee had discussed was to revise therear yard setbacks in the BC Zone,"
thereby automatically giving us parking space along the alley. They also talked
about setting a policy that no curb crossings be allowed. COUNCILMAN GELLERT
MOVED THAT WE REFER TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION SPECIFICALLY THE REQUIREMENTS TO
SET HEARINGS REGARDING THE PARKING SITUATION TO INCLUDE, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
PARKING DENSITY, REAR YARD REQUIREMENTS, THE PRESENT GRANDFATHER CLAUSE IN THE

ROT.T. C AT.T.
The regular meeting of -the Edmonds City Council was called to order by Mayor
Harve Harrison at 7:30 P.M. in the Council Chambers at the Edmonds Civic

OPERATION CLOSEUP
Mayor Harrison announced that some guests were present in the audience. There
were two students from Edmonds High School, Miss LeAnn Gould and Miss Janna
Cary, who were fortunate enough to attend Operation Closeup which is a week •
289
• long seminar in Washington, D.C. to learn about our Federal Government at close -
hand. The students were accompanied this evening by Tammi Mathews, Social
Studies Teacher and Bert Reese Oho is the Social Studies Coordinator for
District 415. Miss Mathews and Bob VanNess from Woodway High School briefed
the council on the program. Miss Mathews said that the purpose of the program
is to stimulate an interest, and ultimately they hope to incorporate this at the
local level by having class assignments on items being considered by our City
Council. Slides were shown of various sights in the Capital and various dignataries.
Mr. Reese said that he would like to anocurage the Council to offer suggestions,
and perhaps they would like to establish a little steering group in which a
council member or two and some students would like to explore ways in which the
students could have more encounters with local government. Mayor Harrison thanked
the group for its presentation.

COUNCIL PARTICIPATION
Councilman Gellert stated that the Capital Improvements Committee met last
Thursday and realized the need for more community participation involving the
city staff members, Planning Commission, the four citizens' groups, etc. It
was suggested that there be three weekly meetings on the loth, 17th and 24th of
July.
Councilman Welling asked about the status of the new Public Works Building. The
City Engineer answered that the project is almost complete.
The Mayor said that he had a copy of a letter requesting participation of a member
of the City Council on a local government committee whose initial task will be
to review and comment on the Comprehensive Annual Services Program Plan required
by the Title 20 Amendment to the Social Security Act.. Council members had received
a copy and the Mayor asked them to give it some thought and let him know if they
are interested in serving.
AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION
Jim Sinclair, a resident on Talbot Road, said that there is apparently some
confusion over what is to be done about re -surfacing Talbot Road after the water
lines are put in. The City Engineer reported that as far -as the water line
installation is concerned, the places that were torn up to accomplish this, are
being repaired. He said that the City had proposed surfacing it this year, but
this was postponed until next year as there had been indication from residents
in the area tht they would rather have a more complete improvement such as what
is being done on Olympic View Drive. The council did, then, delay the work for
one year. Mr. Sinclair said tYat another survey has been taken, and of 79 people
who responded, 71 were for repair and resurfacing at this time. A great deal
of debate followed concerning the value of the surveys taken. It was thought
that this matter should be set as an agenda item so that the residents of the
area could come in and express their views. COUNCILMAN CLEMENT THEN MOVED,
SECONDED BYCOUNCILWOMAN BRUNS TO PLACE ON THE JULY 1 AGENDA FOR DISCUSSION
THE RE -SURFACING VERSUS A COMPLETE IMPROVEMENT OF TALBOT PARK ROAD. MOTION
CARRIED. Mr. Larson pointed out that the.purpose of that meeting is to be
sure that everyone knows exactly what is involved. He also pointed out that
anything that is done would be subject to the approval of the Budget by the
Council, and the availability of funds which could present a different picture
for next year.
Another gentleman, also Jim Sinclair, said that he would like to know about the
Seaview Water Tank. The Mayor reported that there had been a meeting last
Thursday evening in regard to this tank. Mr. Larson stated that the meeting
had been conducted by the Assistant City Engineer; Dick Allen, who had explained
the location of the 1 1/2 million gallon reservoir, and that there is also a
proposal for landscaping. There was also a consideration of installing tennis
courts in connection with the project. The Mayor said that the residents in
attendance at the meeting said that they did not want a fence, and no parking
and that the tennis court construction be held up for some three to five years
pending the growth of trees. Several people in the audience reiterated the
sentiments expressed by the Mayor. There was also a suggesten to move the
tank over 10' in order to save some of the trees. Mr. Larson said that they
will make the effort to move back 101, but it will depend on the�root system
of the trees. Ron Walls said that the general feeling of the people that
attended the meeting was to leave the area in as natural a state as possible
to protect the beauty of the area and to allow an ecologic system. To do so
they suggest that the area be claimed as a closed covenant, thus protecting it
from further development other than the water storage tank. He said that they
are fearful that if tennis courts are constructed, then a parking lot will
follow with a lot of traffic, etc. Mr. Larson reviewed the citizen concerns.
He said that there shold be a fence for security reasons. He said from the
standpoint of the health and welfare of the public he would have to recommend
to the City Council; and he would also go through the Washington State Public
Health Service; that the fence be installed for the�;;protection of the tank and
the water supply. There was some discussion on whether or not the development
there could be limited to just the water tank. The attorney said that this could
be done, and also could be undone at a later time. COUNCILMAN NORDQUIST MOVED,
SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN CLEMENT THAT THIS MATTER BE SET AS AN AGENDA ITEM FOR
JULY 19 TO CONSIDER THE USE OF THAT PROPERTY OTHER THAN A WATER TANK SITE.
COUNCILMAN GELLERT MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN NORDQUIST THAT THE REPORT ON
BIDS FOR THE SEAVIEW TANK AND THE ENGINEER'S REPORT ON THE NEED FOR A FENCE AND
ANY OTHER STRUCTURES ABOVE THE GROUND. MOTION CARRIED.

HEARING: PLANNING COMMISSION RES. 4472-BLDG. HEIGHT AMENDMENT ZO-8-75
City Planner, Joe Wallis, reported that this matter was brought to the Council
by the staff after the first experience they had in applying the last building
height amendment. He said the intent at that time was to allow the variance to
take care of any hardship condition that was imposed by that particular ordinance.
The original ordinance provided for the datum point to be the setback point of
the yard. This amendment would retain the building area allowable, building
volume allowable, undisturbed woil definition and add to that a building
height rectangel. He said the building height rectangle is defined as the
smallest rectangle enclsoing the building lines of the proposed structure.
He illustrated this with the use of a sketch projected on the screen. Mr. Wallis
pointed out that previously they were working toward the mid -point of the gable
and now they working toward the ridge of the gable. There was considerable
discussion. The,public portion of the hearing was then opened. There were
comments from several people in the audience with regard to what is now allowed
with respect to actual height of buildings, with alswers from the Planner.
Wade James said that perhaps a "view zone" could be established where this
could be applied; as there are many lots in Edmonds where view is not a consideration.
Capt. Shields commented thatl-he felt it would be impossible to write an ordinance
that would cover every lot in Edmonds. The public portion was then closed.
•
Councilman Anderson said that it appeared there was no consensus and he was not
ready to take any action. Councilwoman Shippen asked if we could explore the
"view zone" consideration to see if this is at all feasible. The attorney
suggested exploring the possibility of some specialization of the variance criteria
MOTION:
for building heights, instead of using the old general criteria. COUNCILMAN
ANDERSON THEN MOVED, SECONDED BYCOUNCILMAN NORDQUIST TO CONTINUE DISCUSSION ON
THE BUILDING HEIGHT AMENDMENT AT THE WORK MEETING OF JULY 29TH. MOTION CARRIED.
Councilman Nordquist at this time pointed out that there was 70 minutes left to
meet the appointed cut-off time, and perhaps certain items should be selected
MOTION:
to be taken care of this evening. COUNCILMAN NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY
COUNCILMAN ANDERSON TO PROCEED THROUGH ITEM 415 AND TO INCLUDE ALSO ITEMS #19
AND #20. MOTION CARRIED.
MOTION:
COUNCILMAN NORDQUIST THEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN ANDERSON TO SET ITEMS
167 17 AND 18 FOR THE JULY FIRST AGENDA. MOTION CARRIED.
AMENDMENT TO OFFICIAL STREET PLAN TO REMOVE SHELL VALLEY ROAD
City Planner, Joe Wallis, projected a map on the screen, and reviewed the history
with regard to this proposed amendment pointing out that it came about as a
result of the proposed Shell Valley PRD. He explained"several alternative
treatments, however, Councilman Gellert stated that he would hesitate to make
a decision on this without first considering the PRD. MR. Wallis commented that
if the PRD was acceptable then the Official Street Map would have to be amended
to coincide with the PRD. Councilman Anderson commented that a public access
street is not what he would want in that area, and would rather encourage
development towards pedestrian and equestrian traffic. There was a suggestion •
MOTION: that the PRD be heard ahead of this item. COUNCILMAN,=ANDERSON-MOVED, SECONDED
BY COUNCILMAN NORDQUIST THAT THE ORDER BE CHANGED ON THE AGENDA, AND THAT ITEM
#91 SHELL PARK PRD BE CONSIDERED AT THIS TIME. MOTION CARRIED.
PRELIMINARY APPROVAL - SHELL PARK PRD
Mr. Wade James, the architect for the project, reported that since the last
presentation approximately five acres has been added to the original proposal.
This was the Church property to the west of the development. The proposal is
for 64 units contained within 44 lots in this 15 acre development. Four of the
lots will have multiple units. He said they have conformed almost exactly to
the Official Street Map in maintaining the use of the Shall Valley Road. He
said that they have grouped the houses in such a way that they have about three
acres of open space. In the upper right hand corner of the plan they have set
aside a tree protection area as there is a fine stand of evergreens there. It
was pointed out that the road is a 30' right-of-way on their side and presumably
would be 30' on the other side. There would be 22' of paving. Councilman Gellert
said he had walked through the valley and asked if any consideration had been
given to building on the hillside and leaving the valley portion as a park.
Jurgen Sauerland, the engineer, said that residents present at the first hearing
indicated that they wanted a road through there, particularly since they had paid
sewer assessments and the road was on the Comprehensive Plan. In view of the
concerns expressed, they went back and worked with many of the residents and
came up with the present plan which was more acceptable to the residents.
Assistant Fire Chief, Ralph Klein, said that he department would have to take
exception to the 22' paved street and the 20% grade as there would be a problem
to get fire apparatus in there to service the area. Mr. Sauerland said that he
has discussed with the City Planner a proposal for placing parking bays to allow
for off-street parking for units facing Pioneer Way. He said they have worked
r1
U
•
very diligently to establish the grade to some liveable means, and 20% is the
best they can come up with.. The City Engineer pointed out that the 20% is not
the only critical factor, it is that you must have an alternate way out. Chief_
Klein said that if the street was developed as it"was originally shown on the
Comprehensive Street Plan; that is all the way out to Main Street, they would have
ho objection. He also said that the plan which was reviewed by his department,
didnot include any off-street parking bays, so they could not consider this at
this time. He pointed out that the Fire Chief had recommended a 14-15% maximum
acceptable grade. Councilman Nordquist pointed out that the council is charged
with protecting the safety of the residents so these grades must be considered.
Nick Halliday, Puget Sound.Development Corporation, said that the engineer has
worked very hard to get the grade down, and the alternative seems to be to use
the Shell Valley Road. Councilman Welling said that there is no rule that says
every piece of property must be developed, He said that this property is very
steep and perhaps we would be wrong to go'in there and build expensive homes.
He said until that road is built out to Main Street, we have many problems.
Councilman Clement said that personally he would favor a pedestrian access which
would necessitate a 13-15% maximum grade at the entrance. There was considerable
further discussion. Mr. Jaeger, on 90th W., thought that this plan is the best
solution for that piece of property.' Mr. Wallis said that he feels a commitment
was made when the sewers went in, and that time and time again he has heard the
residents ask when is the road going in so that they can develop their property.
Mr. Jaeger said that he has walked around the property and talked to almost all
of the residents and that they have no major objections. Councilwoman Shippen
said that she liked the idea of terminating the road'at the hammerhead. The
City Engineer pointed out that the Shell Valley Road was never put through because
MOTION:
of financial reasons. COUNCILWOMAN BRUNS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN CLEMENT
TO GIVE PRELIMINARY APPROVAL .TO THE SHELL PARK PRD, BECAUSE OF THE REASONS STATED
PREVIOUSLY. COUNCILMRN CLEMENT THEN AMENDED, WITH A SECOND BY COUNCILWOMAN BRUNS
THAT THERE BE A PROVISION WORKED OUT FOR ALTERNATE EXIT AT LESS THAN 15% GRADE
•
FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLES BEFORE FINAL APPROVAL. He said that he did not know what
the solution would be, maybe even a dirt road with a gate across it that only the
AMEND:
Fire Department has a key to. THE AMENDMENT WAS THEN VOTED UPON AND FAILED,
COUNCIL MEMBERS CLEMENT, ANDERSON AND BRUNS VOTED "YES", AND THE OTHERS VOTED
"NO". THE MAIN MOTION ALSO FAILED, WITH COUNCIL MEMBERS CLEMENT, GELLERT AND
BRUNS VOTING AGAINST AND THE OTHERS VOTING IN FAVOR. Councilman Anderson said
he would be willing to look at the road being scaled down. Councilwoman Shippen
said that she really does not want to see the road go through to Main Street.
MOTION:
SHE THEN MOVED TO APPROVE THE PRD WITH THE CULDESAC ENDING AT THE RIGHT ANGLE
AND PROCEEDING WITH THE NARROWER ROAD. Following some discussion, Mrs. Shippen
MOTION:
re -worded her motion. COUNCILWOMAN SHIPPEN MOVED, SECONDED BY QDUNCILMAN ANDERSON
TO TERMINATE PIONEER WAY IN A CULDESAC AND.PROCEED WITH A NARROWER ROAD THROUGH
THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE PRD. THIS MOTION FAILED FOLLOWING A ROLL CALL VOTE

Harve Harrison at 7:30 P.M. in the Council Chambers at the Edmonds Civic Center.
All council members were present.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES
The minutes of the meeting of Jun e17, 1975 has been posted, mailed and distributed.
Councilman Anderson noted that the 2nd motion on page 2 does not indicate that
it carried & that the 3rd motion was incompltete and should have the following
phrase added, "...be given on July lst." (This was to indicate that the report
on the bids for the Seaview tank and the report firm the engineer on the need for
a fence or any other structure, be heard on the same night). Councilman Gellert
noted that there was a mixup on the 4th page with respect to the roll call vote
taken on the first motion and amendment. It should have read,"The main motion -
failed, with council members Clement, Gellert and Bruns voting in favor and the
others voting against." The minutes were then approved as corrected.
Councilman Gellert mentioned that a Western Sun article mentioned that an item
was to be placed on the July 2nd agenda, when it should have said July 1st, and
wondered if this correction could be made.
Mayor Harrison said that in view of the face that we had been criticized for too
much citizen participation, he wondered if the council would like to re -affirm

out to everyone on Talbot Road, and to tohers in the area served by Talbot Road.
Councilman Nordquist said that he has asked the City Attorney to write to the
City of Lynnwood with regard to thei, recent modification of the sauna ordinance.
He also asked the attorney to acquire copies of the sauna ordinances from the
County and Mountlake Terrace so that they can be compared with ours. The attorney
will then review them and suggest any changes that may be necessary.
Councilman Nordquist stated that he had attended a meeting of the Snohomish
County Transit Board. He said that he had passed out some information to the
council members showing them what the financial standing is at this time. He said
that if we continue operating at a deficit, service would probably terminate by
the end of July. He said that a resolution was passed at the meeting this 0
