PROPOSED SALARY ORDINANCE FOR ALL EXEMPT'AND NONREPRESENTED EMPLOYEES Item G on Consent Agenda Councilmember Kasper noted this item required a decision on the part of the Council so it should not have been on the. Consent Agenda. Two exhibits had been included, Exhibit A, Schedule I, providing for the salary grid for a merit increase; and Exhibit A, Schedule II, providing for the salary grid for a cost -of -living increase. Both provided a 6% increase over the present grid, but under the merit increase grid (Exhibit A, Schedule I) several employees could not get an increase because they would have reached the top of their range. Finance Director Art Housler had asked for a decision as to whether the increase would be a cost -of -living increase or a merit increase. It also was noted that the exhibits had been reversed when provided in the Council packets. COUNCILMEMBER NAUGHTEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, TO GET THE MATTER CLARIFIED AND PUT IT ON NEXT WEEK'S AGENDA. MOTION CARRIED. City Attorney Wayne Tanaka stated that the policy.decision must be made regarding the minimum and maximum ranges. Councilmember Allen read aloud the motion by Councilmember Gould last week which was to clarify the intent of the Council. Mr. Housler stated that if it was intended that everyone possibly could receive a 6% increase then there were six people who could not because they would be over the top of the ranges on the grid. Item (G) on the Consent Agenda was not approved. This item will appear on next week's regular agenda. PROPOSED RESOLUTION OPPOSING METRO TRANSIT'S PROPOSED BUS YARD AT 205TH AND MERIDIAN [Item H on Consent Agenda Councilmember'Allen stated that the proposed resolution prepared,by the City Attorney was too nice, and although the things with which the City Council disagreed were stated it was done in too nice a manner, so it may not have the proper impact. Councilmember Kasper said he had not commented on • 1 1 1 0 • April 6, 1982 - conti.nued traffic at.the last discussion because he had the first time, and that was not included. He said"he had been caught amongst ten buses this morning on SR 520, and when they are returning to the barn they do not care who is in.the way. He also asked about the spot zoning issue,:but he noted 'that Assistant City Planner Duane Bowman had a number of items that he intended including in his presenta- tion at the Metro hearing, and he said that may be adequate. After some discussion as to possible actions, COUNCILMEMBER GOULD MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, TO MODIFY THE PROPOSED RESOLU- TION REGARDING THE CITY'S OPPOSITION TO THE BUS BASE TO BE LOCATED AT NORTH 2O5TFI TO INCLUDE STATE- MENTS THAT SPECIFICALLY SAY IT IS NOT THE MOST ECONOMICALLY EFFICIENT SITE Its THAT IT IS NOT COST EFFICIENT IN THE AMOU14T OF $200j000 PER YEAR; THAT THE WATER QUALITY OF THE LAKE IS SPECIFICALLY IMPACTED BECAUSE THEIR EIS DOES NOT SPECIFY HOW THE WATER QUALITY ISSUES WILL BE MITIGATED EITHER BEFORE OR AFTER THE BUS SITE IS INSTALLED; THAT SOME OF THE ADVERSE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AROUND LAKE BALLINGER INCLUDE THAT IT IS A BOWL REGION SUBJECT TO ACCUMULATION OF FUMES FROM THE DIESEL .BUSES; AND.THAT THE TRAFFIC IMPACT ON THE RESIDENTIAL AREA WOULD BE VERY SUBSTANTIAL AND THE CITY COUNCIL FEELS THE HIGHWAYS IN THAT AREA WILL NOT CARRY THE ADDITIONAL BURDEN. COUNCILMEMBER JAECH MOVED TO AMEND THE MOTION, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO INCLUDE THAT THE SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM IS IN QUESTION AND HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED BY THE CITY THAT WILL HAVE TO PROVIDE THEIR SERVICES, NAMELY EDMONDS. THE MOTION TO AMEND CARRIED. THE'MAIN MOTION, AS AMENDED THEN CARRIED, APPROVING ITEM (H) ON THE CONSENT AGENDA AND PASSING RESOLUTION 522. AUDIENCE Roger Hertrich, 1020 Puget Dr., stated that Olympic Elementary School is one of the schools on the list to be closed and that it is the only school located in the bowl area, and since there had been sentiments expressed in the past to encourage young families in the bowl area he asked if the Council would come out with a statement to urge keeping this school open and the effects of closing it. Councilmember Hall said she had received a telephone call from Ann Ginsberg in this regard, requesting that as many Councilmembers'as possible attend the hearing, on April 7. Councilmember Naughten thought every effort should be made to keep one school open in the bowl area. COUNCILMEMBER NORD- QUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, TO INSTRUCT THE CITY ATTORNEY TO DRAFT A RESOLUTION EXPRESSING THE CITY COUNCIL'S CONCERN AND DISAPPOINTMENT IN THE CLOSING OF THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN THE EDMONDS AREA AND THAT EVERY EFFORT BE MADE TO KEEP IT OPEN AND TO PROVIDE THE KIND OF EDUCATION W{ICH IS NEEDED AND EXPECTED IN THIS AREA. MOTION CARRIED. Councilmember Gould suggested that it be read at the meeting the following evening. V HEARING ON APPEAL OF ADB RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL OF FREESTANDING SIGN AT 1233 OLYMPIC VIEW DR. Planning Director Mary Lou Block reviewed the item, noting that in July of 1981 Don VanDriel proposed a freestanding sign which was denied by the ADB, following which he had the sign redesigned, and that sign was approved by the ADB at their March 9, 1982 meeting. Ms. Block said the original sign was 14' high and was a readerboard sign, and the resubmitted sign was 9' high and was not a reader - board sign. It is to be located in a planter area fronting on Puget Dr. Natalie Shippen filed an appeal to the ADB decision stating her reasons to be: (1) The proposed sign does not comply with City policy as stated in 20.60.040 of the Community Development Code; (2) No effort was made to desi.gn a sign in compliance,with City policy, and (3) No changed circumstances exist which warrant an exception to City policy. Her letter said the BN zone was established to provide services for a limited, local population and, by definition, those services are not dependent upon pole signs to alert and attract passing traffic. She felt that businesses in the BN zone which require pole signs are located in the wrong zone and should relocate rather than expect the zoning regulations to accommodate them. The hearing was opened. The appellant, Natalie Shippen, said she did not believe the situation of the applicant or his 'tenants (with a three -lane highway and sidewalk) differed from any other in this area so if this was approved there would be no justification to deny a freestanding sign for an existing business or any future businesses, and business uses in this zone have expanded, so at that point if everyone is • justified in having freestanding signs, you have irr effect a.City policy that does.not apply to a particular BN zone. She said the only issue is whether the City policy is being taken seriously and is it being applied to all zones where the Code says it should.be applied. She said it is not a question of the attractiveness of the design, but it is a freestanding sign and contrary to City policy. Don VanDriel, the applicant, addressed each of the points.in Ms. Shippen's letter of appeal. Regarding the first point, he said the policy states freestanding signs will be approved only if the applicant candemonstrate to the ADB that no reasonable alternative exists to satisfy the identifi- cation needs of the business. He felt that he had done that at the ADB hearing and he thought he had followed City policy right to the letter. He noted that it states freestanding.signs are discouraged in the BN zone, and then it gives some of the criteria for allowing them, saying they may stand 14' high and be 48 sq. ft. in area. He said he did not ask for any variances or for Conditional Use Permits and that he previously had asked for a readerboard but had eliminated that. He noted that some people visiting from the east had commented that this was the only place where they had seer. a real estate office that did not have a readerboard sign. He added that the Planning Department and ADB had recommended that he lower his proposed 14' sign to 12', but he lowered it to 9', and he had located the sign exactly where the Code specified. He read from the ADB minutes wherein the Chairman, an architect, stated there was no good place to put the sign on the building and suggested that it be placed in the planter and scaled down some, and then Mr. Kinderfather had moved to approve it but that the overall height be reduced to 12' and that the use of the sign be restricted to the names of the principal occupants of the building.. With regard to the second item in Ms. Shippen's letter of appeal, Mr. VanDriel said efforts were made to design a sign in compliance with the City policy, and the large blue wooden shoe sign he has could have been put on the mansard roof facing both corners- -•whi ch would have been "Highway 99-i sh,','.�.�and-_ other; oc.cupants`.ofi�:the`.bui 1 di ng would like to put their signs on the building. He said everyone has.seen what happens to those buildings when that is allowed --they come_up with -plastic signs with all kinds of lighted colors -- and he did not want that on the building as it is an attractive building. He observed that he magi 0 420 April 6, 1982 - continued • have blended it into.the neighborhood too well. He said the appellant indicated he was using the highway as a need for the sign and that he was for the highway and she was against it. He did not understand that claim, saying he had never been for or against the highway but he was for the improvements --the sidewalks and getting rid of the dangerous curve at the end of the street for the safety of -the children. He said he was not using the highway as a need for the sign at all. And as to approval of his sign setting a precedent, he had driven around to the BN zones in the City and found that of 28 freestanding signs in BN zones 14 had been installed after the Sign Code was approved. He was told by the Planning Department that he had missed a lot of them as there are approximately 50 in the City. As to his sign setting a precedent, he said it was a rarity that companies did not have a freestanding sign: He noted that his building also has three sides that have entrances and if he were to put a sign on one side of the building that has an entrance the garbage collector and the people who park on that side would be the only people able to see the sign. He said the Planning Department and the ADB had recommended to him that the best looking sign under the circumstances of that area would be a sandblasted sign with gold leaf lettering to go with what he currently had on the building. He had a sign designed by a sign maker but was not satis- fied, so he changed sign makers and now had a sign which satisfied him. He noted that Mr. Mitchell, on the ADB, had been strongly against the original readerboard sign, but when the new proposal was presented he said he would like to.be the one to make the motion to approve the new design because he thought it to be an outstanding design which would be an asset to the corner. Mr: VanDriel said he understood Ms. Shippen's concerns and that she is a good "watchdog" for the community, but he asked that the Council deny her appeal. Mr. VanDriel was asked about his comment at the conclusion of the first ADB hearing that he would not put up the sign if he was restricted to using only the names of the principal occupants of the building. He responded that the sign was a readerboard type and he was frankly disappointed. He.felt it would not have been a well designed sign if he had to lower the first readerboard sign and he did not want that type of sign up with just the names of the tenants as it would not have looked good. He thought the one now proposed would look good, and he displayed a drawing of it. Roger Hertrich, 1020 Puget Dr., was concerned that no one in that area was aware of this sign action. He said the building is well designed and fits well into that small business district, and a great effort has been made to minimize the commercial look of it. He said he had never had any problem, even with the wooden shoe sign, but he did not see where a sign in that small parking strip benefits the area, and he noted there are small temporary signs that go out there sometimes. His concern was about more signs very close to the street. He thought there may be a better way to do it and keep it off the highway, which was the most important thing to him. He had been disturbed when he saw all the individual signs tacked up as it looked like Highway 99 to him. Ms. Shippen concluded that the Council should either uphold the City policy and so advise the Staff and the ADB, or else abandon it and treat everyone fairly. No one else wished to speak, and the hearing was closed. Councilmember Hall said she had served 1 1/2 years on the Sign Code Committee and had agonized over into it: She said she did a site inspection and found that it, and she saw some safeguards written this was not a pole sign. She thought Mr. VanDriel's sign to be badly needed and it appeared to her that it would be an attractive sign and accomplish its purpose, and she thought it to be a good compromise when taking the Code as written and using some common sense. Councilmember Naughten said the Code does indicate that freestanding signs are to be discouraged but it does not say they are to be abandoned. He said a sign.is supposed to identify and it appeared that this was the best way to identify the tenants of the building. He did not favor neon signs or signs with lights in them, and he was inclined to deny the appeal. COUNCILMEMBER NAUGHTEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, TO DENY THE APPEAL AND TO UPHOLD THE DECISION OF THE ADB. Council - member Jaech observed that arguments had been made that signs on the building would be of all sizes and colors, but she said they could be standardized as to sizes and colors. She asked whether the height of the sign had been addressed from a traffic standpoint --would it cause traffic obstruction. f1s. Block said that had been discussed and the location may be adjusted a few feet to the east to be • sure that there will be no obstruction. She displayed a transparency of the site and demonstrated that there woul.d be no obstruction. Councilmember Gould said the basic philosophy he has behind the Sign Ordinance is that when one looks down the streets of the City it should not look like Highway 99 where all one sees is signs with neon lights. He thought the current proposal in this case was a dramatic change from the original sign and it appeared to him that it probably would blend in with the building about as unobtrusively as any other sign so it probably would look nicer than another alternative. A ROLL CALL VOTE WAS TAKEN ON THE MOTION, WITH COUNCILMEMBERS NAUGHTEN, HALL, KASPER, GOULD, AND NORDQUIST VOTING YES, AND WITH COUNCILMEMBERS JAECH AND ALLEN VOTING NO. MOTION CARRIED. REVIEW.OF DOWNTOWN PARKING CONCEPTS Planning Director Mary Lou Block noted that the PAB had recommended developing the intersection of 5th Ave. N. and Bell St. into a public parking area, and the City Council, after holding a public hearing, postponed a decision on that proposal until the Staff could provide some additional informa- tion on possible parking alternatives, their costs, and a forecast of City employee parking for the Civic Center. The Engineering Department prepared three parking alternatives: Alternative A is a simple plan for restriping the area north of the Bell St. triangle, creating 7 new parking spaces and costing approximately $1,567. Alternative B is a slightly more elaborate version of Alternative A, including substantial landscaping in permanently constructed planters, and costing approximately $7,187. Alternative C is a combination of all of the layouts proposed throughout the study, indi- cating the maximum number of on -street stalls that could be created in this area and which could be implemented in increments. The total estimated cost for full development would be $104,865 and would create 40 additional spaces. Currently 64 parking spaces are available for City employee vehicles in the Civic Center complex, with approximately 44 being occupied. When the Engineering and Public Works departments move to this complex a total of 60-64. spaces will be needed. Cost breakdowns were provided for the three alternatives, and Councilmember Gould observed that Alterna- tive A would have negligible cost as most of the work would, be done by City crews who would be doing • April 6, 1982 - continued` something else if they were not doing this. 'Councilmember Naughten presented findings of the Public Works/Community Development Committee and the Edmonds Chamber. of Commerce Parking Committee. He read their report aloud as a first reading for consideration. They had considered the problem in the Central Business District of business employees parking on the street in the prime CBD locations, reducing the amount of available customer parking.. Their survey indicated that 65 parking spaces currently.are provided for business employees and that.78 additional spaces are needed (not including Old Milltown). Their proposal included a parking plan, revision of parking hours in the CBD, and a long-term policy plan for the In -Lieu Parking Fund. Councilmember Nordquist thought the Parking Committee should be included with the Planning Director, the Finance Director, and the. City Council for continuing review of the plan. Councilmember Gould was very impressed with the report, and he thanked Jim Morrow, Chairman of the Parking Committee, ,for the work. Councilmember Hall agreed, and she read aloud a letter from Doug Egan on the subject of the Bell St. triangle parking area where he said there seldom were cars parked. COUNCILMEMBER NAUGHTEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER GOULD, TO HAVE A HEARING ON THIS SUBJECT ON APRIL 27, 1982. Councilmember Kasper requested that the Council be furnished for that hearing the exact dimensions of the one-way traffic lanes. Councilmember Naughten asked whether funds could come from the In -Lieu Parking Fund, and Ms. Block noted that the ordinance had been amended to accommodate that. COUNCILMEMBER NAUGHTEN THEN WITHDREW HIS MOTION ON THE FLOOR IN ORDER TO ALLOW JIM {MORROW TO SPEAK. Mr. Morrow said the Parking Committee had two ideas in mind, one being to find a current solution and the other a long-term recognition of the need to keep abreast of the parking situation. He said the active participation of the employers, managers, and employees in the City will be necessary in order to implement their plans. COUNCILMEMBER NAUGHTEN THEN RESTATED HIS MOTION, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER GOULD. MOTION CARRIED. Councilmember Gould asked how they would know if the plan works when it is done and whether there would be a follow-up survey. Mr. Morrow responded that his question would be addressed by the -Committee. CONSIDERATION OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE REGARDING REQUIREMENTS FOR PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES City Engineer Jim Adams said the proposed ordinance encompasses State legislation which went into effect January 1, 1982, and he recommended adoption. COUNCILMEMBER NAUGHTEN MOVED, SECONDED FOR DISCUSSION BY COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST, TO APPROVE ORDINANCE 2285, ESTABLISHING PROCEDURES FOR SELECTING PROFESSIONAL CONSULTANTS. Councilmember Nordquist said he would feel more comfortable if the Consultant Selection Committee (defined in 2.80.020 A. 'on page 2 of the proposed ordinance) included the Council President as well as two Councilmembers because he thought the Council should have a majoritY in a decision making process. He did not want three Staff members overruling two Counci.lmembers on a decision. COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED TO AMEND THE MOTION TO INCLUDE THAT THE WORDING IN 2.80.020 A. BE CHANGED TO STATE ". . . AND TWO MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL PLUS THE COUNCIL PRESIDENT." He went on to say that if the Mayor did not have a vote then he would be comfortable. City Attorney Wayne Tanaka stated that the committee makes a recommendation to the Council who can reject it or accept it, and if the Council rejects it the committee comes up with another recommendation. Councilmember Kasper thought it best to leave composition of the committee as proposed in the ordinance, saying there would be only two Council people voting on it and that way the Council would have full latitude when the recommendation went to them. After this discussion, COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST-S"MOTION TO AMEND WAS WITHDRAWN. The definition of "Responsible City Offical" in the ordinanace was briefly discussed, following which THE MOTION CARRIED, WITH COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST VOTING NO. REVIEW REPORT OF HUBBARD MEMORIAL COMMITTEE Parks and Recreation Director Jim Jessel reported that the committee, composed of several friends of Larry Hubbard, had met and discussed several places which might be appropriately named for him. They came to a consensus that the most appropriate memorial would be something dealing with the cemetery, but they thought the cemetary should not be named for him until it is developed to a point where it can be used for new.plots. It was suggested that the cemetery be named: "EDMONDS MEMORIAL CEMETARY, Dedicated in Memory of Larry Hubbard." Mr. Jessel said the committee did not recommend any major improvements to the cemetery until the trust fund is arranged for it, and Mayor Harrison said it will take about a year to settle the estate and set up'a trust fund. Councilmember Hall noted that the Juvenile.Diversion Committee is always looking for projects and she thought this would be a good one if the City could provide supervision. Mr. Jessel said it had been a unanimous decision of the committee that the cemetery be named for Mr. Hubbard and that it not be named at least until it is cleaned up and defined. In conjunction with that, he said if the cemetery is named for Larry Hubbard'he would recommend that the naming of..the Dayton St. Park no longer be delayed so.the construction of the sign can be finished (that park had been suggested to be named for Mr. Hubbard). COUNCILMEMBER NAUGHTEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST, THAT THE NINTH AVE..CEMETERY BE NAMED FOR LARRY HUBBARD AND THAT THE SIGNING BE ACCOMPLISHED WHEN THE MONEY IS AVAILABLE TO UPGRADE THE CEMETERY. MOTION CARRIED. The subject of a cemetery commission again arose, and Mr. Jesse! said when that commission is established he would like.to take the members on a tour of other cemeteries in the State which are administered by municipalities. COUNCILMEMBER ALLEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, TO DISCUSS A PROPOSED ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING A -CEMETERY COMMISSION ON MAY 11, 1982. MOTION CARRIED. COUNCILMEMBER NAUGHTEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO NAME THE DAYTON ST. PARK. MOTION CARRIED. COUNCIL REVIEW OF MEMBERSHIP CRITERIA FOR PLANNING ADVISORY BOARD The Council had, been furnished the portion of the City Code pertaining to the PAB. Councilmember Naughten said he would encourage the Mayor to appoint people.to the board keeping in mind the geographical location of their residences in order to get equal representation on the board. Floyd E. Smith, 814 Dayton, was concerned about that.request. He felt that indicated the members could not be trusted if they all came from the same area. He said it is a disgrace to tell the PAB April 6, 1982 - continued You do not trust them because three or four of them come from the bowl area and that the Council - members are not required to come from different geographical locations so the PAB should not have that requirement. Councilmember Naughten said it was not his intent to say anyone could not be trusted, but the Council was suggesting that, all things being equal, there be some geographical distribution. Capt. Smith said that when he served on the PAB he tried to view things for the betterment of the City and.he.did not use his residential location as his viewpoint. Councilmember Nordquist responded that people from different areas sometimes can provide more definitive facts about their particular area.. COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO ACCEPT THE COUNCIL REVIEW OF THE PAB. MOTION CARRIED. COUNCIL Councilmember Nordquist requested a report from the Safety Engineer in view of the fact that there had been numerous traffic revisions in the recent past. As the City currently did not have a Safety Engineer, Mayor Harrison appointed Jim Adams to that function. Councilmember Nordquist noted that a letter had been received from Mae Schoenrock, Director of the Sno-Isle Regional Library, asking whether telephones are included in the contract for the library -- or, who will buy the telephones.. After some discussion, COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, THAT SNO-ISLE REGIONAL LIBRARY CONTINUE TO TAKE CARE OF THE TELEPHONE INSTALLA- TION AND MONTHLY BILL FOR THE LIBRARY. MOTION CARRIED, WITH COUNCILMEMBER ALLEN VOTING NO. Councilmember Hall said -Library Board Chairman Ann Wermus,.who is on the Dedication Committee for the library, had suggested October 10 for the dedication ceremony. City Engineer Jim Adams reported that there had been no problem with progress on that project and it was expected to be completed and accepted by the Labor Day target date. It was noted that October 10 will be on a three-day federal holiday so it may not be a convenient date, and Councilmember Hall said she would relay that infor- mation. Councilmember Naughten noted that there was a request from the Town of Woodway for animal control service, and he asked if the needs of the City of Edmonds were being met. He did not know if Edmonds had the means to extend this service to another municipality and still afford Edmonds proper service. Councilmember Kasper said they did not know what the real cost would be, and he thought the proposed fee was a low figure. He doubted that Edmonds had the manpower to do it. COUNCIL - MEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, TO REFER THIS TO THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE, WITH A REPORT FROM THEM ON JUNE 1, 1982. MOTION CARRIED. Councilmember Allen noted that the Police Chief had requested a 90-day extension of the Contract with Woodway High School for police response (contract expired April 1) because of the petition for annexation which has been received. COUNCILMEMBER ALLEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO APPROVE THE EXTENSION. MOTION CARRIED. Councilmember Allen had received several calls from people about the completion of the 196th St. improvements, and one of the concerns.was walkways. She asked.if it could at least be smoothed out until the completion. City Engineer Jim Adams responded that he would be meeting with the project engineer within the next few days and will go out with him to see what can be done. He also said he had prepared.a letter to the State expressing the Council's concern that the completion has not been accomplished. Councilmember Allen noted that there was a memo from the Police Chief reporting that Officers Gannon and Kennedy had rendered CPR to a heart attack victim which had saved his life, and his wife sub- sequently had made a donation to the Medic 7 Aid Car Fund in the name of the Edmonds Police Officers Association. Councilmember Allen said she appreciated being apprised of this. Councilmember Naughten asked about the timetable on installation of the traffic light on Edmonds Way, and City Engineer Jim Adams responded that he hoped it would be accomplished this year. There was no further business to come before the Council, and the meeting adjourned at 9:55 p. r IRENE VARNEY MORAN, Cit Clerk HARVE H.
