An attempt had been made to redesign the project but some important items had been omitted. Mr. Herzberg submitted three options and enumerated.the items which would be included or omitted from each. The first was the option. as it had`gone out for bid, the second -was a redesign option, and the third was doing the work in two phases and enumerating that to be included in the first phase. The Senior Center Board of Directors had asked that Council action be delayed one week as a meeting was scheduled between them and the Staff on August 29 to review the situation and make recommendations.' Mr.*Herzberg noted, however, that the City's bond would run out September 1, prior. to the next Council meeting. Community Development Director John LaTourelle said a letter had been sent to.the Community Development Act Block Grant Policy Board asking them to reserve $15,000 for this, and he felt there was a good chance of getting it. Mr. Herzberg reviewed.all the items which would be included or omitted under each of the stated options.

COUNCILMAN NAUGHTEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN NORDQUIST, TO APPROVE SM-3-79, PURSUANT TO P.C. RESOLUTION 629. MOTION CARRIED. REVIEW OF SUNSET.AVE. ACTIONS AND REPORT FROM POLICE DEPT. (INCLUDING BUDGET IMPLICATIONS) • City Engineer.Jim"Adams- noted that the no parking restriction from Main to Bell was a hardship on the adjacent commercial area and that the one-way concept on Caspers causes difficulty for certain residents. He made several recommendations for further changes, including traffic islands which would cause.all ferry traffic to turn right to'SR 104, reinstating parking on the east side of Sunset from Main to Bell, reinstating two-way traffic on Caspers, maintaining no right turn from Sunset onto the -ferry dock, and maintaining the no right turn going east on Caspers at 2nd. Police Chief Marlo Foster said.approximately $12,500 had been spent on policing the waterfront from April to July and-that..$20,000 should be earmarked for waterfront policing next year. He did not believe the residents of Sunset could live with year-round no parking in front of their homes and he suggested that on October 1 Sunset Ave. north of Edmonds St. be declared a street park with normal closure of 10:00 p.m. That would permit the police to close the street to all but residents or bona fide guests at whatever time required if excessive traffic, noise, or illegal activities warranted. The discussion was opened to the public. Dorothy Zenk, proprietor of the Sail -In Tavern at Sunset and Main, asked that the four-hour parking be returned on Sunset, from Main to Bell, because the lack of parking was jeopardizing her business as well as that of Sebastian's restaurant. She also felt the City should have public parking for the customers of businesses in Edmonds. Councilman Carns responded that business firms that do not provide on -premises parkiing.'for',thei�r.�.customer.s,of.ten°.iiill arrange"for:,paid parking in a nearby lot for their customers, and that it is not the business of municipal government to provide parking for business firms. He noted that there is a Diamond parking lot within walking distance of the Sail -In Tavern and suggested that Mrs. Zenk may consider that option. Mary Johnson of 114 Caspers felt the one-way restriction on Caspers should be eliminated because of the inconvenience it was causing there for residents. Mary Duke of 529 3rd.Ave. N. agreed with the.channeling of traffic with islands as suggested by Mr. Adams, and in response to Mrs. Zenk's request for parking south of Bell, Mrs. Duke suggested that when the Sail-In's janitorial service is present that they be required to pick up the litter that is there when parking is allowed for customers. Fred Hedges of 376 Sunset asked that the one-way restriction remain on Caspers. He said the young.people are spotting the situation • now to see if there will be a weakening of the system and he was happy to put up with the incon- venience for the benefits which had been derived from the current restrictions. Mrs. James Amdal of 127 Caspers, where the one-way restriction begins, asked that it be removed, feeling the traffic would lessen with the fall season. She felt the public was being restricted from viewing the beach and should be allowed that enjoyment. Another lady said.it is a pleasure to be able to sleep at night now. She said they have a small problem .with parking for guests after 10:00 p.m. She suggested Sunset be one-way going north with parking.only on the east side as the young people would not have the protection of their cars for their activities on the west side of the street. A Mr. Walker who works at Sebastian's restaurant said he has a problem parking because he is at work at 8:00 a.m. and works until nighttime and has to keep moving his car. He asked if it would be possible for employees to have a. card to place in their car windows to allow them to park there. Ed Siegelbaum of 398 Sunset said there.is no way to visit someone on Caspers where it.is one way unless you turn into someone's driveway. He suggested each resident have cards for guests to place in their car windows, permitting them to park on Sunset. Les Hanvey of 608 Sunset commended the Council and the Police Department for their actions regarding Sunset and asked that all the restrictions remain. The public portion.of the discussion was then closed. Councilman Carns was agreeable to returning parking to Sunset between Main and Bell because of the businesses there and the fact that some people live on the west side of Sunset at that location and do not have off-street parking. But despite the.inconvenience to some because of the one-way restriction on Caspers, he felt that restriction should remain, the lessening of the cruising warranting.it, and any weakening of that restriction would .cause the return of problems. Councilman Naughten also agreed with reinstating parking on Sunset from Bell to Main, but he said employees should park elsewhere and walk. He was amenable to some.sort of.identification_for residents and guests. He felt that the proposed traffic island would.solve the cruising problem and would permit reinstating two-way traffi'c'on Caspers, and he suggested.this be reviewed at the first of October to determine the effectiveness of the change. Councilman Herb supported trying the Staff's recommendations and reviewing the situation again in October. councilwoman Allen felt the current restrictions had not been.given a fair trial, having August 28, 1979 - continued been in effect only.two weeks. She -felt they should wait until the first of October and then review the whole thing.. She noted that even though the problem,may have been alleviated on Sunset, she was sure it 'would move north. Councilman Kasper agreed,.say'i,ng'serious consideration should be given to the Staff recommendations,. but:not until the latter part of -September. He thought the Staff should consider..:what had..been.said th'is.even.ing and then present another proposal for Sunset in October. Councilman Carns did not favor parking, -passes and he'did-not..like the idea of no right turn on Sunset because people could not.go into Sebastians or Sunset Beach Park. COUNCILMAN CARNS MOVED, MOTION: SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN NORDQUIST.,: THAT THE CITY ATTORNEY BE INSTRUCTED TO DRAFT AN ORDINANCE TO REINSTATE FOUR-HOUR PARKING ON THE EAST AND WEST SIDES OF SUNSET AVE. FROM MAIN ST. TO BELL ST., THIS ORDINANCE_TO.BE ON NEXT WEEK'S CONSENT AGENDA. MOTION CARRIED. Several motions were attempted regardi.ng the installation of traffic islands but they were not successful, either being withdrawn MOTION: or rece.iv.ing no seconds. COUNCILMAN KASPER THEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILWOMAN ALLEN, THAT A REVIEW.O F THE:.SUNSET AVE. SITUATION BE.SCHEDULED FOR OCTOBER 2, 1979. MOTION CARRIED, WITH COUNCILMAN CARNS-VOTING.NO... A short recess was announced. DISCUSSION..OF.PROBLEMS ON OCEAN.:AVE. AND WATER ST. (PETITION RECEIVED) Assistant,Traffic Engineer Bill Ni'ms stated the.Staff's recommendations in response to the petition from residents..of Ocean Ave. and.Water St. The recommendations were to install a "Local Access Only" sign on.the north side of Water St.,,.just west of 9th Ave.; restrict parking on the west side of Ocean Ave.. to four-hour parking from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.. and no parking between 10:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m.; and not permitting parking on the east side.of.Ocean.Ave. at any time. The discussion was opened.to the public. Dale Howe of.19031 Ocean Ave. said that street is very narrow and there is no real point to park except for residents. Jack Schaeffer.of.19018 Sound View P1., adjacent to Water St.,. asked for the installation of signs to limit the speed. He said after midnight there is speeding from Ocean Ave. to Sound View Pl. and the police surveillance has been reduced in -.the past • year. :Fred Hallert of 19027 Ocean Ave. asked that there be no parking at all permitted on-Qcean Ave. Councilman Carns advised him'that those are public streets paid for by all of the citizens, so he could not agree to not allowing any parking. After some discussion of the various suggestions, MOTION: COUNCILMAN CARNS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN NORDQUIST, TO..INSTRUCT THE CITY ATTORNEY TO DRAFT AN ORDINANCE INCORPORATING THE RECOMMENDATIONS STATED BY THE.ASSISTANT TRAFFIC ENGINEER, AND THAT THIS ORDINANCE BE.PLACED ON NEXT WEEK'S CONSENT AGENDA. COUNCILMAN HERB MOVED TO' AMEND THE MOTION, Amendment SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN NAUGHTEN, THAT NO PARKING BE PERMITTED ON EITHER SIDE OF OCEAN AVE. Councilman (Failed) Kasper noted that this is a public view point and that implementation of the main motion should be tried with adequate policing to see if that will solve the.problem. He felt the elimination of all parking should only be a last resort solution. Mayor Pro tem Gould agreed and suggested it be placed on the October 2 agenda for review. THE MOTION TO.AMEND THEN FAILED, WITH COUNCILMEN HERB AND NAUGHTEN HAVING THE ONLY AFFIRMATIVE VOTES. THE MAIN MOTION THEN CARRIED. COUNCILWOMAN ALLEN THEN MOTION: MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN KASPER TO PLACE ON THE OCTOBER.2,. 1979 AGENDA A REVIEW OF THE PROBLEMS ON OCEAN.AVE. AND WATER ST. MOTION CARRIED.

Councilman Nordquist noted that at Port Ludlow -they had discussed encouragement of development -on Highway 99 by eliminating the height restriction. THE MOTION THEN CARRIED, WITH • COUNCILWOMAN ALLEN VOTING NO. Community Development Director John LaTourelle then stated that the. ADB was established by the Council as the agency to pass on those matters that have to do with view blockage, design, and impacts of the building, and that appeal procedures to the Council were established. He did not believe it was appropriate for the Council to pick'out.one specific class of development on which the Council would make that decision. Having voted on the affirmative side of the motion, MOTION: COUNCILMAN HERB MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN KASPER, TO RECONSIDER THE LAST MOTION SO THAT THE HEIGHT LIMIT.WOULD BE 35' IN THE CG ZONE BUT THAT COULD BE WAIVED BY THE ADB.

COUNCILMAN NAUGHTEN THEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILWOMAN ALLEN, THAT THE BUILDING HEIGHT LIMIT IN THE CW ZONE BE 30', WITH GREATER HEIGHT BEING ALLOWED BY ADB REVIEW. . Mr. LaTourelle recommended that there be no maximum.height for structures with ADB review. He noted that some time in the future there could be -the need for structures, not necessarily buildings,..which may.need to exceed an established height -limit, e.g., lifting equipment and oil tanks. He suggested excepting structures from that review,.making it apply to buildings only. Councilman Herb did not like having no height limit on the waterfront.
