PUBLIC WORKS
Sometime late last year, a new bus stop wa.s located immediately in front of
. -,our business property at-15,33 Fifth Ave. S.t Edmonds.
In,odoing so, all of our four parking spaces along the curb wel-E! aliminated,
This did not seem fair to us and I believe it was in November that we contacted
Bobby Mills. We expressed our displeasure and gave him our reF-soning. He
promised to look into the matter and as yet we have heard nothing more 11'1-om
him since our initial. call.
There is a residence property and a crosswalk immediately to the south of us
on the East side of Fifth Ave. 3. There is also a vacant lot immediately to
the north of our street frontage. It would soem much more logical and appropriate
to us if the bus stop could be moved in either direction so an not -to hinder the
parking which always has been available to our clients in front of our office.
We would appreciate it if you could bring this matter to the attention of the
necessary department to review this problem and to work out the best solution
for all concerned.
Sincerely,
i��ton T. Ketcham
President

MEMORANDUM
Date: Date June 5, 1995
To: Street File
From: John Bissell, AICP, Associate Planner
Subject: Change of Color for the existing building.
�v`enue S�outh is' currently painted a yellow beige with
The existing buildi ' ngl—oca—ted at 533 5th
green trim and a green r—oof.--Th—e—p'-r-6-p-e-ft�o—wner requested that the City allow the paint color to
be changed to blue/gray with blue and white trim and a blue gray roof Because color is
considered in the criteria for the ADB to make a decision, color changes are typically sent to the
Board for review and approval.
ECDC Section 20. 10.010 describes the scope of the AD13 review. That code section does not
include change of building colors.
ECDC section 20.10.020 states that no person shall substantially change a development until the
proposed development or change.
ECDC Section 20.10.070 states that colors are elements of design and "should avoid. excessive
brilliance or brightness except where that would enhance design."
In this particular case the proposed paint colors are not excessively brilliant and therefore
appears not to be a substantial change to the building or building design. Therefore the applicant
was not required to appear before the ADB, and staff has permitted the color change.
