He asked that the Councilmembers be named. Councilmembers Allen, Kasper, and Nordquist said they would be working on this. COUNCILMEMBER NAUGHTEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, TO APPROVE ITEM (B) ON THE CONSENT AGENDA, AS'AMENDED. MOTION CARRIED. n PROPOSED ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING TWO FIVE-MINUTE PARKING SPACES IN FRONT OF FINANCE BUILDING [Item C on Consent Agenda • Councilmember Nordquist thought this item should be deferred until after the hearing on the Bell St. triangle parking proposal this evening. THEREFORE., COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, TO DEFER ITEM (C) UNTIL THE FEBRUARY 9, 1982 COUNCIL MEETING. MOTION CARRIED. PROPOSED.ORDINANCE PROHIBITING PARKING ON 76TH AVE. W. FROM 216TH TO 218TH S.W. Item D on Consent Agenda Councilmember Nordquist noted that two or three residences will lose parking in front of their homes by this ordinance and he thought the adjacent medical.clinic should have been asked to offer parking to'those residents, especially on weekends and after business hours, since one of its doctors had made the request for the elimination of parking, and that this possibly should still be pursued. COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, TO APPROVE ITEM (D)ON THE CONSENT AGENDA, ADOPTING ORDINANCE 2262. MOTION CARRIED. AUTHORIZATION TO AMEND ORDINANCE 2244 REGARDING LOAD LIMIT RESTRICTIONS [Item (G) on Consent Agenda] Councilmember Nordquist asked for an explanation of this item. City Engineer Jim Adams stated that Load Limit signs exist on various streets and the restrictions have been enforced but there is no ordinance to back them. :Also, Ordinance 2244 restricts loads on SR 524, but the restriction has never been posted or enforced. This had been discussed at the Public Works Committee.meeting and they recommended that action be taken to correct this. Councilmember Kasper observed that with the highway construction this was no.time to limit where.trucks can go. Councilmember Nordquist said the purpose of the restriction was to direct the traffic from the ferry to leave Edmonds by SR 524 and that he would like to see that remain. Police Chief Marlo Foster said the State Highway Department would not let them post SR 524 or establish a truck route, so they could not enforce it. The Citv Engineer's recommendation had been to amend the ordinance to include the streets where the Load Limit signs exist without an ordinance to back them and to delete the streets which actually comprise SR 524. COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER ALLEN, TO APPROVE ITEM (E) ON THE CONSENT AGENDA, BUT OMITTING THE PARAGRAPH STATING"THE STREETS TO BE DELETED, AND INSTRUCTING THE • CITY ATTORNEY TO DRAFT AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE 2244.

AUDIENCE Lloyd Ostrom, 711 Puget Lane, spoke regarding House Bill 1018 being considered by the legislature and which would eliminate growth management fees in the State. He asked for the Council's thoughts since such action would cost the City in dollars. He noted that there is a lot of lobbying going on in Olympia, and he asked if the Council would go on record with a resolution opposing that bill. Council President Kasper said several officials would be going to Olympia on Thursday and he would try to obtain a copy of the bill to put in Friday's Council packet since no one had read it yet, and that he would also place it on the next Finance Committee agenda. John Beck, President of the Edmonds Chamber of Commerce, said one of the businessmen had asked why • the Community.Transit buses were being rerouted off of Main St. as he misses having people discharged from the buses in front of his business. Mr. Beck was told he would be provided minutes of the recent meeting when the Community Transit people addressed the Council on this subject. It was recalled that the congestion of the downtown area of Main St. was one of the reasons. (Community Transit's new 40' buses would have difficulty negotiating the fountain and the congestion of that area.) Glen Bogart, 21529 90th W., a merchant in Old Milltown, said when the buses were moved the bus stops also.were moved and some now are in prime parking places next to Old Milltown. COUNCIL - MEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, THAT A REPRESENTATIVE OF COMMUNITY TRANSIT BE INVITED TO.THE FEBRUARY 16,1982 COUNCIL MEETING TO EXPLAIN THE NEW ROUTING OF THE BUSES IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA, BOTH THE COMMUNITY TRANSIT BUSES AND THE METRO BUSES, AND THAT THE EDMONDS MERCHANTS BE INVITED ALSO. MOTION CARRIED. HEARING ON CONSIDERATION OF PAB'RECOMMENDATION TO DEVELOP A PUBLIC PARKING AREA AT INTERSECTION OF 5TH AVE. AND BELL ST. Planning Director Mary Lou Block reviewed the previous activity which led to this proposal. The PAB's hearing on this was held November 25, 1981, the proposal being to modify the existing triangle park to add 25 parking stalls to those in existence around the triangle. The Chamber of Commerce Parking Committee had done extensive study on the downtown parking situation, which culminated in, this recommendation: After the PAB hearing the PAB supported the proposal. Ms. Block displayed diagrams of the proposal, as well as several other proposals which had been considered for the triangle. She noted that angle parking stalls would cut into the City property in front of the Finance Office. Angle parkingalso would face residences on the opposite side of Bell St. The cost estimate was $60,000 to implement the plan and it was proposed that the In -Lieu Parking Fund help to finance it. The hearing was opened. Mayor Harrison read a letter from Joseph Thomas, a resident of the condominium at 518 Bell St. which overlooks the.proposed site. Mr. Thomas'expressed a strong objection to the proposed parking concept. • Douglas Egan, another resident of the same condominium, had.provided a petition with over 100 signatures of citizens opposed to the concept. He said most of the curb parking in that area is vacant during the day and he felt the development was not justified. John Beck, President of the Chamber of Commerce, said he had been asked to read into the record their letter submitted last year supporting this proposal, which he did. Glen Bogart, 21529 90th W., stated that there is a parking problem and anything that can be found that is reasonable in price for parking.should be done. He did not think the landscaping of the triangle park would be sacrificed because the proposal would provide landscaping equal to what currently exists. He said there is no parking available from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., and he encouraged use of this location for parking to the maximum. Jim Morrow, 19243 94th Ave. W., said he is a property owner, merchant, landlord, resident, and voter in Edmonds. He also was Chairman of the Parking Committee. He addressed the petition submitted by Mr. Egan, taking issue with several points, and urging that the petition be discounted. He then reviewed the parking proposal as.made by the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Egan responded that the petition said citizens are opposed to spending public funds on the project. Armand Hoppel, another resident of condominium at'518 Bell St., distributed some photographs he had taken at different times of the parking on Bell St. in the area of the triangle which showed few parked cars. He commented that residentsat ground level next to the angle parking would have headlights shining into their homes. He felt this was not a -business zone but a commercial/residential zone --an integrated community, and he asked that the triangle park in that area not be destroyed to provide parking. February 2, 1982 - continued 3� David Earling, 8629 187th P1. S.W., in the business community for three years, said that as a downtown businessman he is concerned that there is the beginning of a parking problem and in 15 years -there will be a desperate problem. He urged the Council to look to the future and give this plan favorable conside'ration.'-He thought this was a low cost approach to begin to solve the long-term problem, and he said it would cost much more if delayed. Lloyd Ostrom, President of the Edmonds Council of Concerned Citizens, said he had been a member of the Parking Committee. He thought the people could accept some kind of a design for this site and said he would like to see more community involvement. Mr. Hoppel stated that at one of PAB hearings there had been the question of obtaining matching federal funds to develop this triangle as a multiple parking facility. Mr. Morrow responded that he had been called as having said there would be a potential of a deck on this facility but there is not a deck.and federal funds never were considered for this project. Gladys Tuson, 508 Bell St., said she had come to Edmonds in 1913 when 350 people lived here. She said her late husband had called Edmonds the city of love, but she did not think there was much love when they want to destroy it. She described many other places she had been which were enhanced by the many flowers growing and she said she did not want this triangle park destroyed. The hearing was then closed. Mayor Harrison said he thought the biggest problem downtown is employee parking, and he suggested that Bell. St. be opened toall-day parking for employees. Councilmember Naughten observed that there will be `some shifting of City employees when the library moves, and he said that may open more parking. He said he was not convinced of the.need for parking • although he liked the concept. He said he would like to see the inventory the PAB is making. Councilmember Hall said the triangle was, put there for aesthestic reasons to be a park, and she asked why not leave the triangle space unrimmed by parked automobiles. She thought 7-9 spaces could be eliminated, and she thought there should be parallel parking adjacent to the residences instead of.angle parking because of the automobile headlights. Councilmember Gould observed that.there was ,input from the business community.that they.want more parking in the downtown area, and there also was a.group of citizens who do not want a lot of money spent on it and who are concerned about the impact on the area. He asked whether -it is needed now and if it could be done close to downtown at„low cost, with safer traffic flow, and with less direct impact on nearby residents. He noted that Mr. Thomas' letter had contained some ideas. Knowing that there will be some relocation of City employees, he thought they should wait until the end of this year to see the impact of that move, so he favored tabling the issue-at..this time and looking at it after the City move. Councilmember Allen asked if any consideration was given by the Parking Committee to a lid on the 4th and Dayton parking space. She said the parking problem is south rather than north, and she thought something creative could be done with the 5th and Bell triangle without making it_so objec- tionable to the neighbors. Mr. Morrow said they were talking about a permanent parking facility that cannot be taken away, and advised the Council that they must start thinking about permanent off-street/on-street parking. He objected to being put off by the Council. In answer'to a question, Ms.,Block stated that there is $18,500 in the parking fund and that an application for two more spaceshad.been.approved which would add $2,000. She.sai,d that „ additionally, they had received an application for three spaces which was received on the day of_the.action increasing the fee and the applicant thinks it should be under the old fee, but it would be $12,900 • if it comes in under the new fee, so that is a potential. . Ms. Block added that the..Planning staff had looked at Mr. Thomas' proposals and they were discussed at the PAB hearings. Councilmember.Hall did not think there would be enough impact from the City move to put this issue off, and Councilmember Gould responded that it would.cost $60,000 that the City.does not have. He also did not think it would have good traffic flow as there was not enough room. Ms. Block had indicated that it met Code, -requirements but it would.be tight: Councilmember Kasper thought the proposal was premature and that'.it should be tabled for nine months to a year because the City offices are moving and bus patterns are changing. Fie said that basically he was not in favor of tearing up 5th and Bell and eliminating a workable park. He thought there was a parking problem but that it would have to be solved with an off-street solution and that the on -street idea should be considered a safety valve not to be used yet. He thought more work should be done on this. He also noted that Community Development Refinancing may come.to the City from the legislature to help in acquiring parking. He thought this should be pursued but that it should be tabled for twelve months. COUNCILMEMBER'NAUGHTEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER ALLEN, TO PLACE ON THE MARCH 16, 1982 AGENDA A REVIEW OF THE OTHER CONCEPTS AND THE POSSIBILITY OF WORKING THEM INTO A'PARKING SOLUTION FOR 25 PARKING SPACES. Councilmember Jaech said everyone wants to preserve the uniqueness of Edmonds and she wanted to see alternatives to provide parking for.the future. Councilmember Gould asked that the following information be provided the Council: the actual costs for the alternatives, the number of spaces they would generate, actual size of the traffic patterns, and a Staff forecast of the impact on the immediate area by the proposed changes in City employee parking. THE MOTION CARRIED. A recess was announced. HEARING ON FOUR-WAY STOP AT 6TH AND MAIN ST. City Engineer Jim Adams described the intersection. Currently the Main St. traffic has the right- of-way, with stop signs on 6th...Average weekday volume. is 7420 vehicles in both directions, with 1,640 on 6th Ave.. Traffic accidents which have occurred at this intersection are -right-angle and left -turn type, six in the past three years. The driver on 6th Ave. has difficulty turning on Main St. or crossing it because of the heavy Main St. traffic. In addition, Main St. from 6th.Ave. to February 2, 1982 continued Is 7th Ave. has a grade of approximately 6% which tends to increase.the,speed of westbound vehicles. Increased activity at the Anderson Center has generated additional. traffic at this location and the City has received citizen inquiries regarding traffic and pedestrian safety at .the intersection. Mr. Adams recommended a four-way stop, -including an overhead four-way flashing red beacon signal and stop signs similar to that at 3rd Ave. and Dayton St. The cost should not exceed $1,500 and although it is not in.the 1982 budget Mr. Adams said the funds could come from money allocated to miscellaneous sidewalk construction. The hearing was opened. Edmonds Police Officer Vernon Elder said he travels this route frequently and is aware of the problems. He agreed that the topography of Main St. is a major problem and he noted that with the number of cars parked on either side of Main St. vehicles going north or south have extremely limited visibility of oncoming east/west traffic. He said cars going west on Main St. pick up speed because of the grade and also some stop or almost stop at 6th, thinking _there is a stop there.: He commented that although there may not have been many accidents there, there have been many near - accidents, and -there is a lot of pedestrian traffic at the crosswalk there.,Also, he.noted that emergency vehicles use that route. Ted Kopp, 9702 227th P1. S.W., concurred with Officer Elder's comments, saying you have to keep braking coming down the hill. His office is between 5th and 6th Aves. and he said the parking is always heavy there because the employees who work along there park there. He recommended removing the parking restrictions from Bell St. so employees could park there. Glen Bogart, 21529 90th W., said -stop -signs alone at that intersection would not be adequate because they would not be seen. He thought a light was also needed.. The hearing was closed. COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NAUGHTEN, TO INSTALL A FOUR-WAY STOP LIGHT AT 6TH AVE. AND MAIN ST., WITH STOP SIGNS ON ALL CORNERS AND WITH THE NECESSARY TRAFFIC MODIFICATION • SIGNS. MOTION CARRIED. HEARING ON AMENDMENT TO OFFICIAL STREET MAP TO ADD PROPOSED STREET EAST AND NORTH OF INTERSECTION.OF 8TH AVE. AND DRIFTWOOD LANE (ROWE/ST-9-81) The proposed amendment would add.a cul-de-sac north and east of the intersection of 8th Ave. N. and Driftwood Lane. The Hearing Examiner conducted a public hearing on Decemberz.15*,.1981.- and his report recommended approval of the proposal, subject to.conditions listed in his report. Ms. Block reviewed his report, copies of which had been furnished to the Council. She noted that there are several easements involved and that the intent was to provide a public right-of-way instead of easements for -access to all the properties involved, including Mr. Rowe's. Two road designs had been submitted, with the applicant.prefering that designated -Alternative "B." There had been some opposition at the hearing from neighbors Propst and Underhill. It was the conclusion of the Hearing Examiner, however, that the addition of the proposed road appeared to be consistent with the Compre- hensive Policy Plan Map of the City, the location appeared to be within reason and did not appear to conflict with any of the transportation systems.within the. City, and that the character of the proposed street and its extent or size appeared to be,within reason.. Conditions of his recommenda- tion for approval were that Alternative "B" should be the road adopted and that the recommendation for approval was only for the requested amendment to the Official Street Map and did not address any issue of eminent domain for putting the proposed street on the official City map, nor did it address the issue of.hecessity of -the proposed street. The hearing was opened. John Henry, 421 12th N., attorney representing Frank and Ann Underhill, said his clients were opposed to the proposal, as were the Propsts and Taylors. He said his clients do not want a public road there, and that the Hearing Examiner had not considered the noise, traffic, drinking 'parties,' 'or other problems associated with public streets and that the road should be left i'n the hands of the' owners and that they should be'allowed to control the traffic. Julie Rowe, 711 Driftwood Lane, was representing the applicant, her father. She said this would be a deadend street and there is no parking there so there is no place for the public to go. She said her father only wants to subdivide his property and that this should enhance the area as the road servicing the community is very poor and has no turnaround. Mr. Henry responded that if it goes to a public street the other owners will have no control. The hearing was then closed. In answer to a question, Ms. Block said the Taylor property has adequate area to subdivide but the* topography is very steep. It was noted that 11 lots would be served by the proposed road. COUNCIL - MEMBER ALLEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO APPROVE ST-9781, ADOPTING THE FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF THE HEARING EXAMINER. MOTION CARRIED. HEARING ON PRELIMINARY 6-LOT PLAT (NORTHWOOD DEVELOPMENT/P-6-81)' This item was heard by the Hearing Examiner on December 17, 1981. The proposed subdivision is at approximately9525-Forest Dell Dr. Ms. Block reviewed.the Hearing Examiner Report, copies of which had been .furnished to the Council. He had recommended approval, subject to certain conditions. Ms. Block noted -that the topography is very steep on all the lots and there is a stream on the edge of the site. The applicant intends to stay back from the stream with his development. Some of the setbacks will be.reduced.in accordance with Chapter 20.50 of the Community Development Code in order to keep the building pads off the steeper portions of the lots and on Lot 6 to keep out of the wet area near the creek.. Other conditions stated were for erosion control and protection of Northstream Creek. A question was asked about the center line of the street, and Ms. Block said the Hearing Examiner had not said where it should be, only that -it should be.overlayed. The hearing was opened. Tom Lambrecht, manager of Northwood Development, said one of the biggest concerns was the grade on Forest Dell Dr., which is approximately 12%. He said topography and soils were studied and many of the conclusions of the Hearing.Examiner were taken from Northwood'.s reports, so they concurred with 38 • February 2, 1982 - continued them. fie said their soils engineer concluded that the site could be developed essentially as planned, provided erosion control cautions are taken. He noted that the lot line of Lot 6 had been adjusted because of the stream. He said they had volunteered to overlay Forest Dell Dr. and one of the neighbors was concerned that.this would drain into his basement so they proposed a berm to preclude that happening. Archie Brown, 1450 Olympic View Ave., south of Forest Dell Dr..(the neighbor who was concerned about flooding of his basement), said his only objection was to the overlay of Forest Dell Dr. as it will be 10' south of the north property line. He thought the center line should be moved to the center line of the dedicated street. Mr. Lambrecht said they realize there is a stream that crosses there and they will not be increasing the runoff rate. He thought the issue seemed to be more of where the street alignment will be, but drainage would not be affected. Mr. Brown thought they could put in two 'extensions of the culvert and fill more so they.could move the center line. He said he was not concerned about the runoff, he just wanted the street moved a little. He said there will be a lot of traffic there and it would.be better if moved over 2'- 3'. The hearing was then closed. COUNCILMEMBER ALLEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO APPROVE P-6-81, ADOPTING THE FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF THE HEARING EXAMINER. Councilmember Gould noted that one of the conditions was that the particular issue of the drainage along the Brown property must be approved by the City Engineer's office, so he concluded that the problem of drainage there was addressed. Councilmember Kasper said he would vote in favor of the motion because they had been given assurance by the Staff that the drainage will be controlled on the site. He said they must rely on the engineers for the determination on the center line. He noted that this is a severely difficult plat to develop and would require very good development. THE MOTION CARRIED. COUNCILMEMBER ALLEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, THAT BECAUSE OF THE LATENESS OF THE HOUR THE LAST THREE AGENDA ITEMS BE CONTINUED TO FEBRUARY 23, 1982.

COUNCIL Councilmember Nordquist said there is a record of a contract with Reid -Middleton to make a study regarding secondary sewage treatment, and he asked the Council President to follow up on it, referring to Council minutes of November 25, 1975. Councilmember Nordquist said he had received pages 18, 19, 20, and 21 of some unidentified document in his packet and he did not know what it was.
