General Counsel, GA7X Corp. 13406 19 V Ave SE 500 West Monroe Monroe, WA 98272 Chicago, IL 60661 Re: Notice of Environmental Contamination - Harbor Square Property Dear Registered Agent: The Port of Edmonds hereby provides notice of a release of hazardous substances on property owned by the Port of Edmonds, Washington. 7he Port previously notified the Washington Department of Ecology and Unocal Corporation, and we understand that Unocal provided noti . ce to GATX and Joplin. Each of you is receiving this letter because you may have potential liability associated with the property. The property is located in the 100 block of West Dayton Street in Edmonds, Washington. Harbor Square Associates leases the land from the Port and owns the buildings and other site improvements. 'Me Port purchased the property from Union Oil Company in 1978. The property. is located near the crossing of a Burlington Northern Railroad line. Union Oil had leased some or all of the property to Great Northern Railway in 1945. It reportedly was used by Great Northern Railroad and Burlington Northern Railway until 198 1. The Port understands from Unocal that a predecessor to GATX Corporation leased the property from Unocal to operate a railroad car tank cleaning and maintenance facility located on a railroad spur track on the property. GATX apparently constructed some buildings on the site and conducted its business utilizing the railroad spur. Unocal apparently entered into an agreement with GATX and Great Northern Railway, which approved of the GAIX operations. In 1950, the GATX operation was expanded, an additional railroad spur was constructed, and the agreement among Unocal, GATX and the Railway was amended. GATX apparently operated at the property until December 1963. Ile Port also understands from Unocal that Unocal entered into a lease in 1958 with Earl L Joplin, dtb/a Joplin Paving Company, for the operation of an asphalt hot -mix facility on property fronting on Dayton Street, to the east of the GATX operation. Joplin apparently continued operations on the property until 1968. The Port discovered a release of hazardous substances at the property on October 9, 1991, when a laboratory report containing the results of a limited soil sampling and testing program showed the presence of total petroleum hydrocarbons in excess of Model Toxics Control Act Method A cleanup standards. This release was reported to the Department of Ecology pn January 3, 1992. Results of an expanded program of Soil explorations and groundwater monitoring well installation and.sampling indicatedareas of.potentiia.coneem on -site. Ihe por A has -incurred approximately. $55,000 in costs on a, Sampling program, Phase I environmental assessment, other investigations at the site, and . legal fees. The Port anticipates incurring additional costs in the future related to the remediatioli of the site. Ile Port is not making a demand against you at this time, but is notifying you of the Contamination and the possibility that you may be potentially liable for costs incurred or to be incurred by the Port.

C.S.3130 Traffic Study Review For The Port of Edmonds South Harbor Master Plan Dear Mr. Toskey,- We have reviewed the traffic study you sent us for this proposed port expansion project. This expansion project will add 15 new PM peak hour trips and 125 new average weekday trips to the area's roadway system. To mitigate these traffic impacts we recommend the port agree -to participate in the funding of the City of Edmonds Multi - modal project. This project includes relocation of the ferry terminal and it's.traffic flow. Thank you for the opportunity to offer our comments on the' traffic study for this port expansion project. Should you have any questioins, please feel free to contact Don Hurter (440-4664) or Ed Giraud (440-491�) of my Developer Services section. * Si e' OB RT HSON, P. E.

This letter is also a follow-up to a letter submitted by Makers on behalf of the Port of Edmonds dated July 17, 1996 which contained the Application for Shoreline Substantial Development Permit, SEPA Checklist, legal descriptions, Adjacent Property Owners Checklist, Critical Areas Checklist, City of Edmonds Environmental Assessment, Port of Edmonds Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance, and preliminary Architectural Design Board approval. This letter is also a follow-up to our recent discussions related to the Port of Edmonds application for a height variance related to a stack storage facility at the Port of Edmonds. As you requested in your August 7 letter, the Port of Edmonds is withdrawing its Environmental Determination as originally issued on July 22, 1996 for the new dry stack storage facility. The Port of Edmonds will also prepare appropriate environmental documents related to the latest version of the Port Master Plan. We are already committed to working with the City to ensure that the Port's Master Plan is compatible with the City's Comprehensive Plan and that any areas of disagreement are amicably resolved. The Port is committed to developing a dry stack storage project which is fully consistent with the current City Comprehensive Plan and documentation related to this project will be presented to the City within the next two to six weeks. The Port will also resubmit its application for a dry stack storage project that addresses all of the concerns of the City staff as well as the applicable concerns of various citizens. We will specifically address Marina Beach parking, traffic impacts, overall Port parking, and stream impacts. As agreed on August 14, 1996, the Port will provide draft copies of each application, permit analysis, or other appropriate document to the City staff for its consideration prior to official submittal. The Port is committed to working cooperatively with all elements of the City staff on this and other significant Port projects. I request that the City staff contact me if they have any questions or concerns related to any issues contained in this letter or in relation to other projects or information contained within various Port plans or documents.

While I acknowledge receipt and understanding of all the issues outlined in your letter, I do not necessarily agree with all of the conclusions related to those matters; however, it is extremely important that the Port and the City remain open to discussing all aspects of each of these issues. I believe that a proper discussion of various issues will result in improved understanding which will minimize our differences. In order to provide sufficient time for a comprehensive meeting to discuss all of these issues, I will extend the comment period and the period for the City to consider assuming SEPA jurisdiction to close of business August 15, 1996. I understand that you have established a meeting with the appropriate City parties at I p.m. on August 14. 1 will discuss all aspects of this issue with the Commission and the Port's legal counsel on August 12, 1996 and I will be prepared to discuss all related issues at the August 14 meeting.

B#12c The proposal states that public pedestrian access will be improved and retained along the waterfront and on the viewing platform. It needs to be assured through the permit process that the Port will insure the retention of the opening of the boardwalk, viewing area and pedestrian access to the Marina Beach Park. This areas should not be gated nor closed to the public for use. City Parks in Edmonds have an opening and closing time which is daylight to dusk but typically gates are not used to prohibit pedestrian access to public area. 12. Exhibit 'T" not in document; Exhibit "E" states "it is felt there is more than adequate on -site parking available." B#14f Exhibit 'T" not in proposal packet; Exhibit "E" does not provide enough data to make a determination of impact. Ile data appears to reflect a minimal need for more parking for the project and that the current parking in the area meets the need for the new project. This does not correspond to verbal conversations with the Port Manager which states that the Port will NEED to recover the dedicated parking stalls (22-26) currently dedicated for public park use at Marina Beach Park. 13. B#14g The response does not correspond with verbal conversations from the Port Manager. The report does not reflect the need to develop parking needs for the users of the planned project and the recovery of the areas from the dedicated public park use. Marina Beach Park is a 4.5 acres developed waterfront park located on Puget Sound, south of the Port of Edmonds Marina and west of the UNOCAL Oil Property. Marina Park is located adjacent to the proposed planned Dry Stack Storage improvements currently discussed in this application. Access to the site is off Admiral Way and through the Port of Edmonds. The site is currently owned by UNOCAL Oil but leased to the City for use as a public waterfront park. On the south side of the oil pipeline, additional flat unused shoreline exists, which is publicly accessed for waterfront park users. Facilities on the park site include a large open picnic area, a children's playground, portable restrooms, a beach volleyball couM a paved pathway, a car -top launch area and small parking lot. Because the park is heavily used in the summer months, the limited amount of parking and lack of permanent restrooms is often a problem. In the approved City of Edmonds Comprehensive Park, Recreation and Openspace Plan it notes that minor improvements are needed at the site which are a permanent restroom facility, new curbing and pave boat landing. Marina Beach Park is listed in the Comprehensive Plan as a "Waterfront Park". Waterfront parks are sites that permit the general public to physically reach or come very close to a saltwater shoreline. In Edmonds saltwater sites are very limited because of existing development. Because shoreline access is of limited quantity in Edmonds, waterfront parks should provide facilities and activities specifically oriented to that environment. Uses related to other park types should be located in another part of the city. Waterfront parks are sited as regional facilities" (page VI-5 City of Edmonds Park and Recreation Plan/Recommendations) On page VI-13 of the Comprehensive Park Plan it states "According to the Port's Master Plan much of the area used for parking is to be developed for boat storage. When that occurs there will be a major shortage of 7:77 z LU LIJ -J 0 tn UJ LU X: -J I-- Cn U.; LU LL. UJ z �- 0 Z �- UJ LU Cn, 0 LU U- 0 LU M parking at the Park. The City needs to work with the Port and examine other approaches to solving the parking problem." "Ibe overall intent of Edmonds should be to develop a continuous public shoreline access from Marina Beach Park at Edwards Point to Brackets Landing" "Waterfront parks serve regional needs" (page IV-16 of the Comprehensive Park Plan) and the Comprehensive Plan states that it is the recommendation that the standards of .6 acres per 1,000 population is the need in Edmonds. "The recommended standard of 0.6 acres per 1,000 population reflects the current interest and demand for additional waterfront sites in Edmonds. Using this standard, about 12.5 acres of additional waterfront park is currently needed." Marina Beach Park is listed in the Snohomish County Comprehensive Park and Opensapce Plan as a regional saltwater resource. (page 134) The plan states "to the extent practical, resource lands will be linked by all types of trail corridors to increase access to and through significant and visually interesting features" (pg. 133). Marina Beach Park is also listed in the Snohomish County Comprehensive Park Plan as a point on the "Puget Sound Marine Trail". This saltwater trail when fully developed in the State of Washington will provide cartop boating enthusiast on the Puget Sound waterfront trail opportunities and rest points extending from Edmonds to LaConner. The trail is promoted by the Washington Water Trails Association. (page 158) Hstorically, the City of Edmonds and the Port of Edmonds in the early 1980's worked cooperatively to develop Marina Beach Park as a public recreational benefit. The Port of Edmonds provided the property on the southern Port property to be developed and used for parking (22 stalls)for the park. The City and the Port cooperate on the operation of the facility and have an open relationship on the daily operation of the site. In response to the Port of Edmonds application for development of the dry storage facility, the following points need to be considered in relationship to the adjacent public park facility: • The need for the removal and use of the Port of Edmonds portion of the parking provided for or review. The approved Master Plan Marina Beach is not stated in the documents provided f designs do not indicate the removal of the current parking in Marina Beach, nor is there any written documentation of need nor reasons for the removal of the use of the current dedicated parking provided to the public recreational use at Marina Beach. • Exhibit D The Height Variance Application Declaration is the only document that makes any indication of the need for 26 stalls of parking for the proposed project. The only reference is a highlighted area and a written reference to 26 parking stalls. There are no written reasons for the need nor any explanations. The document continues to stress that parking is available at the Port and no more parking is needed for this project. Ile opposite is stated in question # 12 of the Environmental Checklist (page 3 of 14). The statement reads the boat storage facility "to be located at the existing boat storage shed location" no need is listed to recover the 26 parking stalls. Page 9 of 14 states that 4-8 people will be employed at the storage facility. • Verbal conversations with the Port Manager during this past month have made indications that there is a need for the removal of the parking dedicated to recreational use at Marina Beach as the new project proposal needs to have the stalls for employees and boat visitors to the dry stack storage. This is not reflected in the written documents nor in the approved Master Plan. (page 21 states parking to remain) • As part of the proposed project the Port has agreed to provide a public reWoom for public use. The addition of this element is beneficial to the recreationalist using the boardwak viewing areas and the adjacent public waterfront park. With the addition of a public restroom, the potential elimination of the portable restroorn will be beneficial to the public recreationlists. Verbal conversations with the Port indicate that they may also be interested in providing a public meeting room with availability to the public for use. Both of these facilities would be located on Port property and would be in the best interest of the City of Edmonds to have the public facilities maintained and operated by the Port of Edmonds. z In conversations with the Port Manager it was stated that the need for the removal of the parking dedicated for park use was to provide an area in preparation for the future phase LU Cr 2 development of the cast/west breakwater to provide for vehicle access to the water to < =) LU accommodate passenger/cruise vessels. The development of this option stated as a Phase III -J 0 project (page 22 of Master Plan) follows the bridging of the gap in the wave barrier where (n 0 small boats will be entering and exiting after the Phase 11 development. Ile Phase III Cn LU W development is not planned until 2004. The need to take parking from the current use results in (n U. 11 an impact to the park. This reasoning is not stated in the formal presented document nor in the 0 Port Master Plan. It was also stated verbally that the need to remove the current dedicated park parking was to provide a secure area for boat owners visiting the boat storage, and a potential for the owners to access their boats to work on them outside of the dry storage facility. In the drawing diagrams, LU the design indicates that in the south western comer of the upland project, boats are outside of z the facility. This may be a need but it is not stated in the presented documents nor in the �- 0 Z �- approved Master Plan. LU W If the removal of the dedicated public park parking (22-26 stalls) is justified and needed, the C3 vehicle entrance into Marina Beach Park becomes a dead-end. Currently the amount of cn, 0 dedicated parking and the parking configuration allows for vehicle egress out of the park. 0 W With the need to eliminate the parking on the north side of the park, the ability for recreational users to enter Marina Beach Park and then turn around and exit becomes impossible. To �!t 0 accommodate the impact, the City of Edmonds would need to diminish the park openspace Z .. z areas to provide for a turn around on the west end of the one row of parking stalls located at W (n the northern boundary of the site. 0 If the removal of the dedicated public park parking (22-26 stalls) is justified and needed, the z elimination of parking creates an impact on the park. The Port of Edmonds in verbal conversations has stated that they will provide 16 additional parking stalls on the cast side of the Boat Storage Facility on the western side of the extension of Admiral Way. They have also stated that they will make up the remaining deficit in the parking areas to the north of the dry boat storage area. It was stated that they would also provide directional signage to provide for the recreational user opportunities to be aware of the parking areas set aside for recreational user visiting Marina Beach Park. The additional 16 parking stalls are discussed in the presented documents but no indications of additional public park parking use is discussed as provided through the proposal. If the removal of the dedicated public park parking (22-26 stalls) is justified and needed the 0 elimination of parking creates an impact on the park. An option that could be designed by the Port is a joint use of the area between the southern boarder of the dry boat storage and the southern edge of the Marina Beach Park city parking stalls. This entire area could be configured to provide for joint parking use, the entrance and exit lanes could be designed, the public could access the public restroom on the SE comer of the building with ease and the secured gate could be placed between the joint parking lot and the boat owners outside work area. This design concept would provide a greater benefit to the area without adverse stress on the parking needs of the area.

William Toskey Executive Director Port of Edmonds 336 Admiral Way Edmonds, WA 98020 Subject: COMMENTS ON PROPOSED NEW E\dPROVENENTS Dear Mr. Toskey: ENVIRONNIENTAL DETERMINATION FOR TBE DRY STACK STORAGE FACILITY AND MARINA The City has received the permit application and environmental determination for the Port's proposed new dry stack storage facility and marina improvements project. In our staff deliberations of the documentation provided, the City has found that the documentation is incomplete, the proposed project is not part of the Port's Master Plan chapter of the City's adopted Comprehensive Plan, and, most importantly, the Port's most recent adopted Master Plan has not been appropriately subjected to SEPA review per the state's process. As the City's responsible official for review of your application, I have discussed this matter thoroughly with all the City's key review parties, including Community Services Director Paul Mar. Our goal is to have an adequate environmental review done in a cost effective manner. As you are aware, the Port elected to act as lead agency in the environmental determination process. If the City were to decide that the Port either didn't adequately submit a complete environmental determination document or didn't adequately address key environmental issues, it could assume lead agency status in the environmental process. This action by the City would automatically that an Environmental Impact Statement be prepared, an effort which could cost our $60,000 to $100,000.

It needs to be assured through the pern-dt process -that the Port will insure the retention of the opening of the boardwalk, viewing area and pedestrian access to the Marina Beach Park. This areas shou)d not be gated nor closed to the public for use. City Parks in Edmonds have an opening and closing time which is daylight to dusk but typically gates are not used to prohibit pedestrian access to public area. 12. Exhibit 'T' not in document; Exhibit "E" states "it is felt there is more than adequate on -site parking available." B#14f Exhibit 'T' not in proposal packet; Exhibit "E" does not provide enough data to make a determination of impact. The data appears to reflect a minimal need for more parking for the project and that the current parking in the area meets the need for the new project. This does not correspond to verbal conversations with the Port Manager which states that the Port will NEED to recover the dedicated parking stalls (22-26) currently dedicated for public park use at Marina Beach Park. 13. B#14g The response does not correspond with verbal conversations from the Port Manager. 'Me report does not reflect the need to develop parking needs for the users of the planned project and the recovery of the areas from the dedicated public park use. Marina Beach Park is a 4.5 acres developed waterfront park located on Puget Sound, south of the Port of Edmonds Marina and west of the UNOCAL Oil Property. Marina Park is located adjacent to the proposed planned Dry Stack Storage improvements currently discussed in this application. Access to the site is off Admiral Way and through the Port of Edmonds. The site is currently owned by UNOCAL Oil but leased to the City for use as a public waterfront park. On the south side of the oil pipeline, additional flat unused shoreline exists, which is publicly accessed for waterfront park users. Facilities on the park site include a large open picnic area, a children's playground, portable restrooms, a beach volleyball court, a paved pathway, a car -top launch area and small parking lot. Because the park is heavily used in the summer months, the limited amount of parking and lack of permanent restrooms is often a problem. In the approved City of Edmonds Comprehensive Park, Recreation and Openspace Plan it notes that minor improvements are needed at the site which are a permanent restroom facility, new curbing and pave boat landing. Marina Beach Park is listed in the Comprehensive Plan as a "Waterfront Park". Waterfront parks Itwate are sites that permit the general public to physically reach or come very close to a sa r shoreline. In Edmonds saltwater sites are very limited because of existing development. Because shoreline access is of limited quantity in Edmonds, waterfront parks should provide facilities and activities specifically oriented to that environment. Uses related to other park types should be located in another part of the city. Waterfront parks are sited as regional facilities" (page VI-5 City of Edmonds Park and Recreation Plan/Recommendations) On page VI-13 of the Comprehensive Park Plan it states "According to the Port's Master Plan much of the area used for parking is to be developed for boat storage. When that occurs there will be a major shortage of 10 X Z �- LU Cc LU 0 Cn 0 (n LU LU -J Ln LL 0 LU 2 � -J LL D LU F- X Z F- F- 0 Z �- LU UJ U cn 0- 0 F- LU Lu LL 0 z Lu (n 0 z 0 parking at the Park. The City needs to work with the Port and examine other approaches to solving the parking problem." "The overall intent of Edmonds should be to develop a continuous public shoreline access from Marina Beach Park at Edwards Point to Brackets Landing" 'Vaterfront parks serve regional needs" (page IV- 16 of the Comprehensive Park Plan) and the Comprehensive Plan states that it is the recommendation that the standards of .6 acres per 1,000 population is the need in Edmonds. "T'he recommended standard of 0.6 acres per 1,000 population reflects the current interest and demand for additional waterfront sites in Edmonds. Using this standard, about 12.5 acres of additional waterfront park is currently needed." Marina Beach Park is listed in the Snohomish County Comprehensive Park and Opensapce Plan as a regional saltwater resource. (page 134) The plan states "to the extent practical, resource lands will be linked by all types of trail corridors to increase access to and through significant and visually interesting features" (pg. 133). Marina Beach Park is also listed in the Snohomish County Comprehensive Park Plan as a point on the "Puget Sound Marine Trail". This saltwater trail when ful[ly developed in the State of Washington will provide cartop boating enthusiast on the Puget Sound waterfront trail opportunities and rest points extending from Edmonds to LaConner. The trail is promoted by the Washington Water Trails Association. (page 158) Hstorically, the City of Edmonds and the Port of Edmonds in the early 1980's worked cooperatively to develop Marina Beach Park as a public recreational benefit. The Port of Edmonds provided the property on the southern Port property to be developed and used for parking (22 stalls)for the park. The City and the Port cooperate on the operation of the facility and have an open relationship on the daily operation of the site. In response to the Port of Edmonds application for development of the dry storage facility, the following points need to be considered in relationship to the adjacent public park facility: • The need for the removal and use of the Port of Edmonds portion of the parking provided for Marina Beach is not stated in the documents provided for review. The approved Master Plan designs do not indicate the removal of the current parking in Marina Beach, nor is there any written documentation of need nor reasons for the removal of the use of the current dedicated parking provided to the public recreational use at Marina Beach. • Exhibit D The Height Variance Application Declaration is the only document that makes any indication of the need for 26 stalls of parking for the proposed project. The only reference is a highlighted area and a written reference to 26 parking stalls. There are no written reasons for the need nor any explanations. The document continues to stress that parking is available at the Port and no more parking is needed for this project. Ile opposite is stated in question #12 of the Environmental Checklist (page 3 of 14). The statement reads the boat storage facility "to be located at the existing boat storage shed location" no need is listed to recover the 26 parking stalls. Page 9 of 14 states that 4-8 people will be employed at the storage facility. • Verbal conversations with the Port Manager during this past month have made indications that there is a need for the removal of the parking dedicated to recreational use at Marina Beach as the new project proposal needs to have the stalls for employees and boat visitors to the dry stack storage. This is not reflected in the written documents nor in the approved Master Plan. (page 21 states parking to remain) As part of the proposed project the Port has agreed to provide a public restroom for public use. The addition of this element is beneficial to the recreationalist using the boardwalk viewing areas and the adjacent public waterfront park. With the addition of a public mstroom, the potential elintination of the portable rewoorn will be beneficial to the public recreationlists. Verbal conversations with the Port indicate that they may also be interested in providing a �V. public meeting room with availability to the public for use. Both of these facilities would be located on Port property and would be in the best interest of the City of Edmonds to have the public facilities maintained and operated by the Port of Edmonds. Z In conversations with the Port Manager it was stated that the need for the removal of the Z parking dedicated for park use was to provide an area in preparation for the future phase UJ cc 2 development of the east/west breakwater to provide for vehicle access to the water to < accommodate passenger/cruise vessels. Ile development of this option stated as a Phase IH UJ -J 0 project (page 22 of Master Plan) follows the bridging of the gap in the wave barrier where 0 small boats will be entering and exiting after the Phase 11 development. The Phase IR UJ W X development is not planned until 2004. The need to take parking from the current use results in -J �- cn u. an impact to the park. This reasoning is not stated in the formal presented document nor in the W 0 2 � Port Master Plan. It 9 -J, * was also stated verbally that the need to remove the current dedicated park parking was to U. < ) I provide a secure area for boat owners visiting the boat storage and a potential for the owners to Ln a I access their boats to work on them outside of the dry storage facility. In the drawing diagrams, X LU. Z: the design indicates that in the south western comer of the upland project, boats are outside of z �- the facility. This may be a need but it is not stated in the presented documents nor in the J.-O Z �- approved Master Plan. W W If the removal of the dedicated public park parking (22-26 stalls) is justified and needed, the vehicle entrance into Marina Beach Park becomes a dead-end. Currently the amount of 0 ;: dedicated parking and the parking configuration allows for vehicle egress out of the park. 0 W LU With the need to eliminate the parking on the north side of the park, the ability for recreational X 11 Y, users to enter Marina Beach Park and then turn around and exit become's impossible. To �L- 0 accommodate the impact the City of Edmonds would need to diminish the park openspace .. z areas to provide for a turn around on the west end of the one row of parking stalls located at Lu cn the northern boundary of the site. If the removal of the dedicated public park parking (22-26 stalls) is justified and needed, the z elin-tination of parking creates an impact on the park. The Port of Edmonds in veribal conversations has stated that they will provide 16 additional parking stalls on the east side of the Boat Storage Facility on the western side of the extension of Admiral Way. They have also stated that they will make up the remaining deficit in the parking areas to the north of the dry boat storage area. It was stated that they would also provide directional signage to provide for the recreational user opportunities to be aware of the parking areas set aside for recreational user visiting Marina Beach Park. lle additional 16 parking stalls are discussed in the presented documents but no indications of additional public park parking use is discussed as provided through the proposal. If the removal of the dedicated public park parking (22-26 stalls) is justified and needed the o elimination of parking creates an impact on the park. An option that could be designed by the Port is ajoint use of the area between the southern boarder of the dry boat storage and the southern edge of the Marina Beach Park city parking stalls. This entire area could be configured to provide forjoint parking use, the entrance and exit lanes could be designed, the public could access the public restroom on the SE comer of the building with ease and the secured gate could be placed between the joint parking lot and the boat owners outside work 0 area. This design concept would provide a greater benefit to the area without adverse stress on the parking needs of the area.

Wils?n-, Current Planning Supervisor PORT OF EDMONDS "DRY STACK STORAGE" CHRONOLOGY Chronology of relevant events related to Port of Edmonds development activity, especially the proposed "Dry Stack Storage'facility. Date Issue/Action November 13, 1995 Letter sent to the Port outlining concerns with the Ports compliance with the State Environmental Policy Act. Letter generated as a result of Port taking action on a project and issuing an Environmental Determination without providing the City to comment on the action as required under the Act. April 25, 1996 City staff conducted a pre -application meeting for the Port of Edmonds and their consultants regarding the proposed "Dry Stack Storage" facility. At this time City staff outlined potential issues, including the potential environmental impacts of the project, and discussed the process the Port would need to proceed through to requests permits for the project. Staff included in this meeting: Jeff Wilson, Paul Mar, Jim Walker, Steve Bullock, Rob Chave, Jeannine Graf, Ann Bullis, Sharon Nolan, Gordy Hyde, Don Fiene, Public Works staff, and Fire Dept staff. May 21, 1996 Both Steve Bullock and I met with the Ports consultants on the proposed "Dry Stack Storage' facility, Makers, and outlined concerns regarding the draft environmental checklist the Port had prepared for the proposed "Dry Stack Storage" facility. Concerns related included: traffic, consistency with height regulations, view blockage, parking, consistency with the City's adopted Comprehensive Plan - Downtown/Waterfront Plan. June 13, 1996 Staff (Paul Mar, Jeff Wilson, Steve Bullock, Gordy Hyde & Jeannine Graf) toured the Port of Edmonds site with Bill Toskey, then attended a meeting at the Port of Edmonds with Bill Toskey and the Port's consultants to further discuss the proposed "Dry Stack Storage!' facility. During this time, City staff again stated its concerns with the City of Edmonds ce Planning Division - W POECHMN.M)C Owl& 0 proposed project, questioned the method the Port was going to utilize to process SEPA, offered to work with the Port on resolving Z environmental issues prior to issuance by the Port of an environmental determination, and raised many other issues related to the proposed Lui cc 2: project.

Prior to this point, the PI i g LJ- (n 31 a Division was not invited to participate in the review or comment on the LU document prior to its adoption. Z July 18, 1996 The Port of Edmonds submits an application for a consolidated permit ;-- 0 Z I-- review of the Port's proposed "Dry Stack Storage" project. Based on LU W, prelin-dnary review, the Port will need to obtain the following permits: Shoreline Substantial Development Permit Shoreline Variance for height in order to allow a 45-foot tall building (max. 35-feet allowed under the State Shoreline Management Act), zoning variance for a 45- LU foot tall building (max, 30-feet allowed), Architectural Design Board review' " Included in the permit application was the environmental ZI determination issued by the Port on July 15th.

Preliminary review of the environmental checklist submitted by the Port as part of their application 4 packet has resulted in the following issues and concerns: 0 1 . The environmental determination references the Port revised Master Plan as supporting the proposed project. The "revised" Master Plan, adopted July 8th, has not been adopted by the City as part of our Comprehensive Plan, an environmental determination as required by State law does not appear to have been completed, and if it had, the City had not been notified. 2. Ile environmental checklist submitted with the application references a traffic study that has t 0 not been completed, and would not be completed prior to the end of the 15 day cornment period.

Your letter indicates that the Port has completed a SEPA checklist for some project, and that if the City wishes to review the document, we may request it. I believe this is in violation of State law. The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), which provides the ability for certain quasi - public agencies to act as the agency with jurisdiction for the environmental review process and issue their own environmental determination, sets forth very specific requirements 'and obligations under the law. One of the most critical requirements for an agency issuing an environmental determination is to inform and provide copies of the environmental checklist, supporting studies (if any), and the envirom-nental determination to other agencies with jurisdiction and the Department of Ecology.. The City� being the local permitting authority (agency with jurisdiction) for building permits, land use permits, and Shoreline Permits, is an agency that you must provide a copy of all Frivironmental documents and the environmental determination for any project which requires the issuance of a determination. Furthermore, this information must be provided in a timely fashion after issuance of the determination, and with a minimum 15 day comment period (required by law) for all agencies with jurisdiction to review and comment on the project. The City, or any other �gency with jurisdiction, may assume. jurisdiction under SEPA if it does not believe that the enviromnental review process was properly followed by your agency. If the City or other agency does assume jurisdiction pursuant to SEPA, an Environmental Impact Statement is required. The concern here is that the Port has now submitted several projects which fall both under jurisdiction of the SEPA and the Shoreline Management Act, and the Port has only partially VJP0R7J.DW,&AUG-% CORRMAGENCY followed the required procedures for environmental review pursuant to the SEPA. Without the required timely notifications and f ull transn-dttal of documents, the City will be left with no choice but to assume urisdiction and require the completion of an Environmental Impact Statement. z This will have to occur by November 22nd, if the Port does not properly complete the environmental review process as required by SEPA. LU: =r With regards to your request that the City waive the requirement for a Shoreline Substantial LU U� .-J Development Permit. for your most recent proposal to pave an undeveloped area within an area 0! U 0: under shoreline jurisdiction, the City does not have the ability to simply waive the requirement for Cn LW (n a permit unless the project meets one of the specified exemptions provided for under the Shoreline LU -J �-iij Management Act. To the best of my understanding of the proposed project, it does not appear to Cn U. I meet any of the specified exemptions under the Shoreline Management Act. LU 01 When the appropriate permit materials and environmental review documents and determinations are properly submitted to our office in conformance with all applicable local and state regulations, (n 01 the City will consider the permit applications complete, and will initiate processing of said Uiz applications. 1 z 1--, 0 If you have any further questions regarding this matter, 'please do not hesitate to contact me at �i 1--, 771-0223.

Toskey: I have just reviewed your new permit application which was submitted in the late afternoon on July 19th, including the environmental determination issued by the Port for the proposed Dry Stack Storage facility and other Marina improvements. I The Port, acting in the role,of lead agency, issued a M[itigated Determination of Nonsignificance on July 15, 1996, with the 15-day comment period expiring on July 29, 1996 (see Enclosed). The actual determination was not delivered to the City of Edmonds until late afternoon (approximately 3:00 PK on Friday July 19th, thus effectively eliminating half of the mandatory review time for other agencies with jurisdiction. The Port, as Lead Agency, is responsible for following the procedural requirements of the State Environmental Policy Act when issuing an Environmental Determination. Specifically, pursuant to WAC 197-11-340(2)(b): "Ae responsible official shall send the DNS and environmental checklist to agencies with jurisdiction, the department of ecoloV, and affected tribes, and each local agency or political subdivision whose public services would be changed as a result of implementation of the proposal, and shall give notice under 197-11-510. " Furthermore, pursuant to WAC 197-11-340(2)(d): "The date of issuefor the DNS is the date the DNS is sent to the deparhnent of ecology and agencies with jurisdiction and is made publicly available. " Additionally� it is unclear when the Port actually sent copies of the M[itigated Determination of Nonsignificance to the other fisted agencies and tribes in order to allow them to comment. Furthermore, based on the list provided on the second page of your detennination letter, it does not appear that the Tulalip Tribe was listed for notification. Therefore, given that the determination was not officially transmitted to the City of Edmonds until July 19th, I am requesting that the Fort, as Lead Agency, provide written %PORT-I.D006-AUGM coRRMAGENCY I rn u-I 0 Uj 2 � LU: z ;7- 0' z J.-: LU Ui: 0 0— LU W m U�I 21 LU U) X 0 z 0 -LY'A - %Jv' 'Luu 12M15'Huc, ly1ftmcnO, bnuln -1 Ower, Second Avenue, Seattle, WA 98104 "Poitr-1.00MAMN CORRWAGENCY Page 2 Oft 0 June 17, 1996 Paul Mar City of Edmonds 250 Fifth Ave N Edmonds, WA 98020 WA Dear Pau This let er is a follow-up to our joint meeting on.7une 13. 1 thank you for your participation and willingness to involve appropriate City staff to assist in a full range of discussions related to the Port's future plans, particularly the stack storage facility. I believe the meeting was very helpful to Port staff and consultants and we will work very hard to meet the City's expectations in the permit application process. Specifically, we will make the following commitments to help move this project along: Consider providing restr oons, for the Marina Beach Park. patrons. Modify the parking in the south Port area to provide designated spaces for Marina Beach patrons sufficient to compensate for the loss of parking on Port property. Provide clear walkway and pedestrian facilities from Marina Beach Park north to Olympic Beach Park. Work with the City staff to prepare vegetation, architectural features, and structural adjustments to mitigate the visual impacts of the facility. Provide additional documentation showing the view impacts from various locations throughout the Edmonds bowl. Continue to develop requirement documentation for the' facility and the impacts of feasible alternatives. Incorporate City building code requirements into the various features of*the complete storage facility. 0 Prepare permits, design documents, and the construction packages in an expeditious manner in order to minimize the impacts during construction. Conduct technical one-on-one meetings with appropriate members of the City staff and ensure that all prepared documents and permits meet the City's expectations.

The final planning phase is complete and the Port is preparing to begin construction of a 500-boat indoor dry storage facility. The project, which has been a key part of the Port's long range plan for several years, will be con- structed at the south end of the marina where the existing boat sheds are located. The type of facility being planned is brand new to the Pacific Northwest and will provide a significantly higher level of service than existing dry storage facilities in the area. The estimated cost of the building and support facilities is $4 million and the target completion date is about a year away. In a detailed report, the market research firm of BST Associates stated that demand for such a facility is very high, particularly for vessels in the 24-32 foot range. They said it should reach capacity within two or three years. Port executive director Bill Toskey explained, "With the expanding population in our service area and with no substantive increases in moorage capacity for many years, I believe that the Port of Edmonds has a responsibility to address all options that could increase boating opportunities:" A complete package Besides the building itself, the facility will comprise a new double launcher and staging float, replace- ment and relocation of "A" dock, Commissioners: Dan Prinz, Ben Cain, Don Stay H.wt!171, and a new bulkhead with prom- enade, similar to that constructed four years ago in the north marina. The project also includes parking lots, landscaping, utilities, walk- ways, storage lockers, wash -down facilities, fire alarm and fire control systems, a small Port office, and restroom facilities. In addition, there is an option of adding 10,000 square feet of commercial space at the north end of the building. As with existing moorage at the Port, tenants will be charged according to the size of their boats. A tenant will be able to call in from home, ask to have their boat launched and —by the time they arrive —find it in the water and ready to go. The new facility has been in the planning process for several years. It is the first phase of the recon- struction and renovation of the entire south marina and part of a continued on page 4 e�- < I..:, =Z. �- UJ Cc LIJ 0 U) a U) LU LU LL; 0' U.1 2�1 g:31 Lt <i M z �._ 0 z I— W LU 0-1 a �- LU UJI = U F_ z L Li in 0 z 0.1 t 0 J A 4 Stack Storage continued from page I sequence of events that will eventually increase the Port's moorage capacity by 30 percent. According to Toskey, the Port currently has approximately 320 boats in dry storage spaces. Engineering studies have shown that the existing Boat Loft and storage sheds do not use the Port's land resources efficiently. With the new facility the Port will increase dry storage capacity from 320 to 500 boats and free up 101/, 12% more usable land. In February the Commission decided to move forward with the planning phase. Dry storage for lower maintenance Each current dry moorage tenant will be offered space in the new facility. In addition, Port Comn-ds- sioner Don Stay said that some wet moorage tenants may want to relocate to the new facility to reduce maintenance on their boats.The fully enclosed building will cover approximately the same area as the existing four rows of sheds and will allow all the existing parking to remain. Inside, boats will be stacked four high. Spaces will be provided for tenants to work on their boats. There will be facilities for engine flushing and hull rinsing, a fish cleaning station, restrooms and showers, sewage pump -out stations, storage and locker -rooms and a small meeting room. Rates in the new facility will be a few dollars cheaper across the board than the Port's current covered accommodations. Tenants with boats currently moored or stored out in the open, however, will find the price of being under cover *is somewhat higher than they have been paying. Financially self- supporting Financially, the project is de- signed to be self-supporting. It will be funded with new issue revenue bonds. The only tax money used Will be for features specifically for the general public, mainly the public boardwalk and pedestrian access bridge around the launcher. This will be fully ADA accessible and will allow the public to watch the launching process from an elevated vantage point. In early March the Port held a public meeting with current and prospective tenants of the facility. The various criteria and opera- tional issues were detailed by Port staff. All questions and objections were addressed and, most impor- tantly, the Port and its engineers were able to get direct input from users on design modifications and operational changes.The most intensive period of construction activities will take about four months and will be done in the .off'season. All preliminary work and approvals are expected to be completed by September and the entire project is scheduled to be operational by May 1997. Launch Package Those who regularly use the Port's boat launching facility have an opportunity to save money. A new launch card gives the user six launches for the price of five. Additionally, trailer and vehicle parking —normally two dollars —is free to card holders. The cost of the card, as with individual launches, depends on the length of the boat According to Port marine services manager Dave Howard, the promotion has worked out well during the off season. Not only does it encourage greater use of the Port, but "it allows us to give a special thank you to our regular customers, especially seniors," he said.

Subject: ENVIRONNffiNTAL DETERMINATION FOR CONSOLIDATED PERMIT 0—� APPLICATION FOR NEW DRY STACK STORAGE FACILITY AND MARINA a k= t EvIPROVENMNTS LU Lu� , U- 0 z Dear Mr. Toskey: Lu (n I have just reviewed your new permit application which was submitted in the late afternoon on 0 July l9th, including the environmental determination issued by the Port for the proposed Dry Stack Storage facility and other Marina improvements. The Port, acting in the role of lead agency, issued a Mitigated Determination of Nonsigrilficance on July 15, 1996, with the 15-day comment period expiring on July 29, 1996 (see Enclosed). The actual determination was not delivered to the City of Edmonds until late afternoon (approximately 3:00 PM) on Friday July 19th, thus effectively eliminating half of the mandatory review time for other agencies with jurisdiction. The Port, as Lead Agency, is responsible for following the procedural requirements of the State Environmental Policy Act when issuing an Environmental Determination. Specifically, pursuant 0 to WAC 197-11-340(2)(b): "7he responsible official shall send the DNS and environmental checklist to agencies with jurisdiction, the department of ecology, and affected tribes, and each local agency or political subdivision whose public services would be changed as a result of implementation of the proposal, and shall give notice under 197-11-510. " Furthermore, pursuant to WAC 197-11-340(2)(d): "Yhe date of issuefor the DNS is the date the DNS is sent 'on he de a inien e ' g" a� a enc 'es wi h and is made publicly available. g ar e Port actually sent copies of the Mtigated Determination of to p r 0 co t when fi an r I t I the isted agencies and nbes in order to allow them to comment.

Therefore, given that the determination was not officially transmitted to the City of Edmonds until July 19th, I am requesting that the Port, as Lead Agency, provide written %PORT - I.Doco-JuEm 0 Incorporated August 11, 1890 * CORP"AG&VCY Sister Cities International — Hekinan, Japan j, clarification that the official date of issuance is July 19th, and the 15-day comment period shall run from that date. Therefore, with the date of issuance being July 19th, the official 15-day comment period does not expire until August 2, 1996, or 15 days after all affected agencies were issued this environmental determination. Your written response should also be z forwarded to all agencies, tribes and parties listed on the second page of your determination letter. LUUj;; cc 2� As the City has not been left with a great deal of time to review and comment on the Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance issued by the Port of Edmonds, I am requesting that you L4 U� U 0: provide a written response by 4:00 PM on July 23rd to the City's request for an extension to the Cn all .11 comment period until August 2nd.

(4) If after following 197-11-080 and 197-11-335 the lead agency reasonably believes that a proposal may have a significant adverse impact, an EIS is required. (5) A threshold determination shall not balance whether the beneficial aspects of a proposal outweigh its adverse impacts, but rather, shall consider whether a proposal has any probable significant adverse environ- mental impacts under the rules stated in this section. For example, proposals designed to improve the envir ' onment, such as sewage treatment plants or pollution control re- quirements, may also have significant adverse environ- mental impacts. WAC 197-11-335 Additional information. The lead agency shall make its threshold determination based upon information reasonably sufficient to evaluate the environmental impact of a proposal (197-11-055(2) and 197-11-060(3)). The lead agency may take one or more of the following actions if, after reviewing the checklist, the agency concludes that there is insufficient informa- tion to make its threshold determination: (1) Require an applicant to submit more information on subjects in the checklist; (2) Make its own further study, including physical in- vestigations on a proposed site; (3) Consult with other agencies, requesting informa- tion on the proposal's potential impacts which lie within the other agencies' jurisdiction or expertise (agencies shall respond in accordance with 197-11-550); or (4) Decide that all or part of the action or its impacts are not sufficiently definite to -.allow environmental analysis and commit to timely, subsequent cnvironmen- tal analysis, consistent with 197-11-055 through 197- 11-070. WAC 197-11-340 Determination of nousignificance (DNS). (1) If the responsible official determines there will be no probable significant adverse environmental impacts from a proposal, the lead agency shall prepare and issue a determination of nonsignificance (DNS) substantially in the form provided in 197-11-970. If an agency adopts another environmental document in sup- port of a threshold determination (Part Six), the notice of adoption (197-11-965) and the DNS shall be com- bined or attached to each other. (2) When a DNS is issued for any of the proposals listed in (2)(a), the requirements in this subsection shall be met. (a) An agency shall not act upon a proposal for fif- teen days after the date of issuance of a DNS if the proposal involves: (i) Another agency with jurisdiction; (ii) Demolition of any structure or facility not ex- empted by 197-11-800(2)(f) or 197-11-880; (iii) Issuance of clearing or grading permits not ex- empted inPart Nine of these rules; or Ov) A DNS under 197-11-350(2), 197-11-350(3) or 197-11-360(4).

I believe the meeting was very helpful to Port staff and consultants and we will work very hard to meet the City's expectations in the permit application process. Specifically, we will make the following commitments to help move this project along: • Consider providing restrooms for the Marina Beach Park. patrons. • Modify the parking in the south Port area to provide designated spaces for Marina Beach patrons sufficient to compensate for the loss of parking on Port property. • Provide clear walkway and pedestrian facilities from Marina Beach Park north to Olympic Beach Park. • Work with the City staff to prepare vegetation, architectural features, and structural adjustments to mitigate the visual impacts of the facility. • Provide additional documentation showing the view impacts from various locations throughout the Edmonds bowl. • Continue to develop requirement documentation for the* facility and the impacts of feasible alternatives. • Incorporate City building code requirements into the various features of the complete storage facility. 0, C31, Z < X Z: �_ Lg O� Lu..

I am concerned with some of the material contained in this document. My concerns pertain specifically to those matters relating to Aesthetics and Water as contained in the Environmental Checklist and the Exhibits contained therein.. I wish to express my concerns as to the aesthetics of this project, first. The photographs con- tained on Page 6 of the Mtigated Determination of Nonsignificance and Page 19 of Exhibit ##D11, as well as the artists line drawing on Page 9 of the same exhibit, were taken from a position di - redly in front of my residence located on Alder Street between 5th and 6th Avenues South. My present view of the Port of Edmonds includes the piling structure which comprises the 2-Hoist launch facility for dry storage tenants. I estimate this structure to 201 in height. The height of the proposed structure is projected to be 45, over two times the height of the present structure, and of a closed, warehouse -type construction, This would significantly affect the view of the water- front and Puget Sound, for not only myself, but also for 2000-3000 other residents of thePort District. Comparison of this structure to that of a petroleum storage facility is not a valid com- parison. A petroleum tank would probably be 69-80'in width and.of cylindrical configuration and represent less than 3000 sq.ft. of view incursion. The proposed Dry Stack Facility, on the other hand, would create an Eastern wall profile of 320X45, or over 14,000 sq.ft. of flat surface, plus the roof areas, of view blockage. Shielding the structure with 441 trees would only add to the mass of the project. The City of Edmonds adopted the 30'height restriction many years ago to insure that the magnificent vistas offered in the Citys natural bowl setting can be enjoyed by the maximum number of its citizens. I feel these codes should be respected. Secondly, I have concerns as to the quality of the work done by your consultants in preparing this application. In the SEPA Check List, under Article 3. WATER, a. Surface (1); the wetland whose "name unknown" is known the Edmonds/UNOCAL Afirsh and the consultants could have most likely found this out by touring the interpretive trail located on the east side of the r The Edmonds/UNOCAL Marsh has been identified as a Category I wetland and designated as a wildlife sanctuary. Extreme care should be exercised in any development plan by the Port. Wet- lands enhancement was also cited as a goal in the Edmonds DownlownlWater ront Plan, 1995, J the formulation of which, the Port was a participant. I understand that through the restoration ef- forts of the local Chapter of Trout Unlimited; an annual run of salmon has been re-established. These efforts must be considered as well. Thank you for considering my concerns. Sincerely, 'e�u— �- J'�� Steplien E. Beck, r. CC: Paul Mar, City of Edmonds 4 0 ac -4. 1.- X Z. LLJ cc LU L) -i U 0 (n 0, C/) LU LU LL LU 0, < DI 5!

RE: PORT OF EDMONDS PROPOSED BOAT STORAGE BUILDING Dear Mr. and Mrs. Kribs: I am writing you in response to your letter regarding height limitations in Edmonds and assume you are referring to the boat storage building proposed by the Port of Edmonds. if not, I apologize. Nevertheless, as the following would apply to any person desiring to build over the current height limits, I would like to clarify the regulatory process in the Port project and the way the City operates in its role as the review agency. Anyone can make a request for a variance regarding restrictions currently in place in the City's land development codes. There are clearly defined criteria that establish the basis on which a variance can be granted. I have enclosed copies of the criteria for your reference. The Port, like any other entity, can pursue this course of action. I The decision to grant a variance to City codes is made by the Heating Examiner based on meeting the criteria. A public hearing is always held and citizens can give testimony as to why the criteria have not been met or why the variance should not be granted. Once the Hearing Examiner has made his decision, anyone who participated in the process� including the applicant, can appeal the decision to the City Council. In this case, if the Examiner denied the variance, the Port could appeal and would become the appellant. If the Examiner granted the variance, anyone who was opposed and participated could appeal the decision. During the course of the appeal, the City Council would hold a public hearing on the record established by the Hearing Examiner. At the close of the heating the Council would issue a decision on the appeal. At this time, the Port has just submitted the environmental determination and permit application documents, including variance requests. The first step in the process is for the City, as well as all other affected agencies, to review this information and to communicate their concerns. 0 Incorporated August 11, 1890 9 Sister Cities International — Hekinan, Japan t r Letter to Louis & Dorothy Kribs August 6, 1996 Page 2 I would encourage you to contact the Port directly with'Your concerns. I can also assure you the z City will notify you when hearings related to this matter are scheduled.

Variances do not permit property to be used in a manner other than provided in the Community Development Code. This process is intended to review situations where uniform zoning application would unduly burden one property more than the other properties in the area. Criteria The Hearing Examiner has authority to grant a variance, where practical difficulties, unnecessary hardship, or situations inconsistent with the general purpose of the Community Development Code might result from the strict application of certain provisions. Variances may -be authorized when literal and strict interpretation would cause undue or unnecessary hardship. A hardship is not a problem that you create yourself. For instance, if you build your house in such a manner that you cannot expand the living room without encroaching on a required side yard, you have created that situation. Hardship speaks to whether you would be deprived of property rights common to the general vjcinity and zone. NO VARIANCE MAY BE APPROVED UNLESS ALL OF THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS CAN BE MADE: 1. Special Circumstances. That, because of special circumstances relating to the property, the strict enforcement of the zoning ordinance would deprive the owner of use rights and privileges permitted to other properties in the vicinity with the same zoning. Special circumstances include the size, shape, topography, location or surroundings of the property, public necessity as to public structures and uses and environmental factors such as vegetation, streams, ponds and wildlife habitats. Special circumstances should not be predicated upon any factor personal to the owner such as age or disability, extra expense which may be necessary to comply with the zoning ordinance, the ability to secure.a scenic view, the ability to make more profitable use of the property, nor any factor resulting from the action of the owner or any past owner of the same property. 2. Special Privilege. That the approval of the variance would not be a grant of special pri'vilege to the property in comparison with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity with the same zoning. 3. Comprehensive Plan. That the approval of the variance will be consistent with e ComprehensT—ve Plan.

I am appalled the City of Edmonds may alter or abandon existing building height limitations in order to accommodate the Edmonds Port District. Having a storage building exceeding height limits and blocking views, just to accommodate storage for pleasure boat owners is indeed an ill conceived idea. Since when do the citizens of Edmonds have to suffer the loss of the panoramic view so unique to this city to provide dead storage in the Port District7 Those of us who live within the Port District are taxed to support the District Once a change Is made we will find a solid wall of apartments and condominiums lining the waterfront area. Let the Port abide by the rules as they now exist and reject their request. Raising the height to forty five feet would be the forerunner to other changes in our City's Comprehensive Plan. Send the message to the Port that they must abide by the existing regulations as everyone else is required to do. They should be setting an example as good neighbors for all Edmonds citizens, not advocates for a privileged few that want to store a boat. Many of us are not in favor of altering or changing the height limitations for any reason. It is requested that you as Mayor and members of the C4 Council hold fast to existing regulations on the present height limitation. ncerely, Ji King,,,- 713 Laurel Street Edmonds, WA 98020-4027 (206) 770 0856 -J.

SHORLINE/BROCHURE 111-92 X RECEIVED To: Mr. Al Hooper, Executive Editor July 21,1996 The Edmonds Paper .11) L 2 2 1996 550 Main Street #B OFFICE OF THE MAyOR Edmonds, Wa 98020 LUUJ Dear Mr. Hooper, LU -j U 0 cn 0, The Edmonds Paper, dated June 26 to July 9, 1996 contained an article on rn W: Ui page nine about the Port of Edmonds commissioners desire to exceed the height -j W LL limitations by fifteen feet to construct a new boat storage facility. Ui 0 g =i - Two primary quotations in the article were by Port Director Bill Toskey " because open space is in this by LL <i :) sparse area, and we can use every inch" , and Port President Dan Prinz "thinks Ln Cc$ who it might be time for the Edmonds City Council to reevaluate the X LU �- :r, existing policy governing height limitations." Z If we accept Bill Toskey's suggestion that space is tight, we should start erecting Ui Uj, five to ten story apartments, condominiums, office towers and the like. That would solve his problem of using our space to the most effective use. Dan Prinz's comment 0 underlines the theory that if rules and regulations prohibit us from doing what we want, a L— LU Lu then obviously we need to change them. The last thing we need is a boat storage U facility that flaunts and violates the building codes that make Edmonds an attractive �L- 0: place to live and do business in. Z: Lu rn, Developers have invested millions in building facilities for condominiums and 0 Z retail businesses, and have kept these structures within the city height limitations. It would have been much more economical for them to build higher buildings on the same real estate, but they honored the restrictions and resisted from clamoring for deviations to the height regulations. Property owners have also invested many millions, (collectively) in purchasing properties such as homes, apartments and condominiums, in the Edmonds area on the premise that existing height restrictions would be enforced, and with the assurance that water front or territorial views would not be blocked by buildings erected some day that were higher than the codes existing when they bought. 0 I strongly urge the Port Commissioners to rethink their current philosophy, and build iomething within existing codes. I further urge the Mayor of Edmonds and the City Council to put a stop to any violation of existing building codes, which when enforced, protect the large investments made by developers and property owners. t 0 Arthur H.

Once the Hearing Examiner has made his decision, anyone who participated in the process, including the applicant, can appeal the decision to the City Council. In this case, if the Examiner denied the variance, the Port could appeal and would become the appellant. If the Examiner granted the variance, anyone who was opposed and participated could appeal the decision. During the course of the appeal, the City Council would hold a public hearing on the record established by the Hearing Examiner. At the close of the hearing, the Council would issue a decision on the appeal. At this time, the Port has just submitted the environmental determination and permit. application documents, including variance requests. The first step in the process is for the City, as well as all other affected agencies, to review this information and to communicate their concerns. I would encourage you to contact the Port directly with your concerns. I have forwarded your letter to the Port.

Variances do not permit property to be used in a manner other than provided in the Community Development Code. This process is intended to review situations where uniform zoning application would unduly burden one property more than the other properties in the area. Criteria The Hearing Examiner has authority to grant a variance where practical difficulties, unnecessary hardship, or situations inconsistent with the general purpose of the Community Development Code might result from the strict application of certain provisions. Variances may 'be authorized when literal and strict interpretation would cause undue or unnecessary hardship. A hardship is not a problem that you create yourself. For instance, if you build your house in such a manner that you cannot expand the living room without encroaching on a required side yard, you have created that situation. Hardship speaks to whether you would be deprived of property rights common to the general vicinity and zone. NO VARIANCE MAY BE APPROVED UNLESS ALL OF THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS CAN BE MADE: 1. Special Circumstances. That, because of special circumstances relating to the property, the strict enforcement of the zoning ordinance would deprive the owner of use rights and privileges permitted to other properties in the vicinity with the same zoning. Special circumstances include the size, shape, topography, location or surroundings of the property, public necessity as to public structures and uses and environmental factors such as vegetation, streams, ponds. and wildlife habitats. Special circumstances should not be predicated upon any factor personal to the owner such as age or disability, extra expense which may be necessary to comply with the zoning ordinance, the ability to secure a scenic view, the ability to make more profitable use of the property, nor any factor resulting from the action of the owner or any past owner of the same property. 2. Special Privilege. That the approval of the variance would not be a grant of special privilege to the property in comparison with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity with the same zoning. 3. Comprehensive Plan. That the approval of the variance will be consistent with e Comprehensi've Plan. .4. X �- LU, cc UJ L) -J 0 (j) LU Lu 3: -J �- LA. 0 LLI 2 �J 9 J!

That the variance as approved or conditionally approved will not be signif cantly detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and same zone. 6.
