Rod Garretson noted that the city would probably make use of the lot for approximately 6 months of the year. Gordon Maxwell, representing the Port of Edmonds, stated that these parking arrange- ments were satisfactory to the Port with one proviso - that in the event permanent parking is needed for the fishing pier, the City, Port, and Dept. of Fisheries obtain the area north and • • west of Dayton -on the corner, as previously discussed.

Anderson, Chairman of the Edmonds Arts Commission, provided council with a present- ation of the Arts Commission proposed concert and lecture series of 1976-1977. He noted that they had done as best they could sith the budget monies, and the 8 events listed would hope- fully be held at the Driftwood Theatre on a monthly basis, starting in October and ending in May. Chairman Anderson added that some grant money was expected from the Washington State Arts Commission. Councilman Clement commented that this was an exciting program for the money to be spent. Mayor Harrison noted that it was a well rounded program.

Ron Whaley went over the status and financial report for the first quarter of 1976 for the Edmonds Junior High School. Council had been provided with copies. The report related to the present activities., financial flow and projected prospects for the balance of the year. Two exhibits were attached. Exhibit ''A" contained summary and projection of income anticipated; followed by a breakdown of expenses, both non -recurring and recurring; and Exhibit "B" was a revenue report of all users of the facilities at the Junior High excluding Recreation Department programs. There followed a lengthy discussion, covering corrections in addition of columns; concern on fuel cost; most qualified city personnel in each category going over the figures; and a sug- gestion that at the July review, in addition to this paper showing profit and loss, if a deficit is forecast, show where the money is,to come from, with the further suggesti.on that.it.not'be from the contingency fund. Also, it was mentioned by Councilman Gellert that he preferred a report by line item, as shown on the budget. Mayor Harrison then opened the subject to audience participation, and this then' -.combined the next agenda item on Policy at the Edmonds Junior High Field. Mr. Kirby White stated that he had written a letter to council, stating that the School District had told him that the maintenance of the Junior High playfield was one of the lesser in cost within District 15. He went on to suggest that the council table by motion to delay decision on charging $2.50 and hour for the field until a later date. When.questioned.by council, • Director Garretson answered that there was at present a charge for use of the Junior.High field only, not on other Edmonds fields. Gene Leach, President of the EdLyn Soccer Club, asked council to reconsider the fees. Director Garretson noted that when a field is reserved by any organized club, all city owned ball fields should charge a fee, as this excludes use at that time by the general public. Park Board members Dick Cole and Keith LaBelle were present and both stated that fees should be charged on all fields. This had passed by motion at the Park-,,.,-. Board meeting. The president- of South Snohomish County Soccer Association was present, and he spoke about their budget not being adequate enough to pay these fees, and they would not be able to use the Junior High.Field, thus denying kids use of these facilities. He stated that they had paid in the past a $10 per field fee to the School District for use during the year. The Soccer representatives' argument was that their game required no maintenance for the portion of the field used by them; that baseball, for example, necessitates mowing and other upkeep.. They told council that the soccer teams will boycott the Junior High field if they are charged these fees. Mayor Harrison suggested perhaps cutting the fees in half. The EdLyn Soccer Club president said they would be willing to pay the light bill, but no fees for the maintenance of the field. Mr. Kirby White told council that he would like to approach the clubs and come back with a proposal on what they would be willing to pay. Director Herb Gilbo from Public Works offered an explanation to council on the maintenance figures. He noted that the level of maintenance was excellent; that yes, it was possible, if requested by council, to lower the level of maintenance. Councilaan Clement asked when council could obtain a rundown on the different levels of maintenance, with other costs included. M.A.A. MOTION: Whaley said this could be ready next weel, and A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMAN ANDERSON, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN NORDQUIST THAT THIS ITEM BE CONTINUED TO APRIL 27 WITH INFORMATION TO BE FURNISHED AS NOTED BY THE STAFF. MOTION CARRIED. ACCESS TO MEADOWDALE AREA Access to the Meadowdale area had been continued from the March 23 meeting. City Planner Joe Wallis reported that council had referred this item to the Planning Commission on January 20, for.recommendation on an official street pattern. The Planning Commission had then decided on February 25 that the acceptable access be from the east along 172nd SW R/w, extending approximate- ly 200 feet from 68th W. City Planner Wallis then projected a map on the screen, showing the general area in question, and also showed a series of slides. City Engineer Leif Larson project- ed profiles to illustrate topography of the land. He advised council that the would recommend the best grade to the Steinman property as being from 68th W. There followed a lengthy. discussion, and the hearing was opended. Robert Peterson, 19725-48th W., Lynnwood, was the previous owner of the Steinman property, and said he also has property abutting 172nd. Mr. Peterson had a question on what would happen to the 260 feet of R/W on 172nd if the city were to vacate it. The City Attorney advised that this would be handled by a title company, and the City Engineer noted that if city council action did vacate, the city would retain utility easements. Mrs. Lewis, Meadowdale Beach Road, told council that this entire neighborhood has a stake in what happens on this whole question of access for Mr. Steinman. Nick Steinman showed council on the topography map the access to Meadowdale Beach Road that Mr. Steinman had put in, and said he felt this was preferable to the Planning Commission suggestion. Mrs. Gibson, who said she lived two houses down from Mrs. Lewis, told council that Mr. Steinman had mentioned that he would clear the road at the "landing" on Meadowdale-Beach Road, and this would be across from her property. She was against this proposal. Don Tapley, 19016 83rd W., advised council that rather than create another road at the top of the Steinman property, why not leave the present one, since the trees are already gone. Ron Steinman said that the vehicles going up the road from Meadowdale Beach Road do sink deep into the sandy soil as mentioned, but some asphalt paving would remedy this, and the road is not that steep. The hearing was then closed. MOTION: Following some further discussion, A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMAN GELLERT, SECONDED BY COUNCIL- MAN CARNS TO UPHOLD THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION IN RESOLUTION 504, FOR THE STREET PATTERN IN THE AREA BOUNDED BY 172ND STREET S.W. R/W ON THE NORTH, 68TH AVE. W. ON THE EAST, AND MEADOWDALE BEACH ROAD ON THE WEST AND SOUTH, MAKING ACCESS FORM THE EAST OFF 68TH AVENUE WEST. MOTION CARRIED WITH COUNCILMEN GOULD AND CLEMENT VOTING AGAINST. Councilman Clement commented that he felt the best access was from the other side, but he was concerned about the handling of the whole situation from the beginning. MOTION: IT WAS THEN MOVED BY COUNCILMAN CARNS, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN GELLERT THAT BECAUSE OF COUNCIL ACTION ON PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION 504, COUNCIL DENY THE APPLICATION FOR INVASION OF RIGHT- OF-WAY SUBMITTED BY MR. MERLE STEINMAN FOR 172ND FOR 290 FEET EAST OF MEADOWDALE BEACH ROAD. MOTION CARRIED. City Attorney John Wallace adviced Mr. Steinman, when he complained that the would not have use of that road, that he had invaded the city right-of-way without permission in the first place, and therefore the -road was not legally put in. UESTION OF COUNTY SEWER CONNECTION TO CITY LINES City Councilman Gould introduced Dale Hoggins, 21826 95th Avenue W., who stated that he is just a block outside city limits, having septic tank problems, and would like to connect to city sewer. Mr. Noggins said he favored annexation to the city if it were possible; that he would have been annexed with the previous "Bellins Gardens" annexation off 220th, but that some neighbors on one side of the street in his area were against it. Therefore, all were left out of that annexation. City Engineer Larson noted that it was the policy of the city, set by previous councils, not to allow connection to city sewers unless you were inside city limits or a public facility, such as a school or hospital. He explained that there were three options open: the election method of annexation; the petition process with 10% letter of intent and then signatures of 75% of assessed valuation; or the third method open to code cities,.which can initiate annexations in cases where 80% of the boundaries are contiguous to city limits. Annexation could be done by resolution of council, and in septic tank cases could go on the health hazard. It was brought to council attention that the county had recently refused a building permit in that area because of the perc test, and that it would be well for the Health Department to take a look at the septic problem. MOTION: COUNCILMAN NORDQUIST MADE.A MOTION SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN GELLERT THAT THE CITY CONTACT THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND ASK THEM TO REVIEW THE SEPTIC SYSTEM IN THE AREA BOUNDED BY 220TH, 96TH, 95TH, AND 217TH, AND ASK THE HEALTH DEPT. FOR A REPORT BACK TO EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL. THE MOTION CARRIED. Councilman Nordquist said he would write the request, and expected a report would be ready for the council meeting of May 4. STREET USE PERMIT APPLICATION - CHEZ CLAUDE RESTAURANT An application had been received for a street use permit from Chez Claude Restaurant for outside dining for the summer months. City Engineer Larson projected a drawing of the concept on the screen. The area proposed for use would include half of the sidewalk and a portion of the parking area in front of the theatre. The Engineer noted that the application had been reviewed and approved in concept by the ADB and the Park Board. The Police Dept. had no objection; Public Works was concerned only with maintenance of the proposed planters; and the Fire Dept. had report- ed that there was nothing in the code to prevent this concept. Approval was therefore recommended. There was,some discussion on the area now being used as a safety zone. Mayor Harrison said he felt this would add a great deal of interest and excitement to the downtown area. The recommenda- ation was that the permit be approved on a trial basis for the summer, subject to the applicant providing the City with a certivicate of insurance to indemnify and hold the city harmless from all claims and/or property damage, naming the city as an also insured, and as discussed by council, MOTION: that approval would be obtained from'the Snohomish Health District. A MOTION WAS THEN MADE BY BY COUNCILMAN GELLERT, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN HERB TO APPROVE THE APPLICATION FOR STREET USE PERMIT FROM CHEZ CLAUDE RESTAURANT FOR OUTSIDE DINING FOR THE TRIAL BASIS DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS, SUBJECT TO THE INSURANCE PROVISIONS AS INDICATED IN THE ABOVE RECOMMENDATION, AND SUBJECT TO APPROVAL FROM SNOHOMISH HEALTH DISTRICT.
