DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL
The applicants are requesting this variance to R110w their existing hedge to contintie at its sanIc
heigilt, The Iledge was planted to screen hcadlights and noise from traffic coming down 9Lh
Avenue N, after a tree was removed which had provided this function, but had also dropped
needles on tile sidewalk which had been a slipping hazard to joggers (see Exhibit A, AllaChrlient
fiEARING COMMENTS:
The followingis a summary of the comments offered at the public hearing.
From the City'
Meg GTuwell reviewed the staff repOrt. Sbe noted that:
The applicants don't want lights from cars in their house, and want tile variance to
allow a hcdge high enough to block those lights.
Hedge heights are, measured from the lowest grade and are allowed to be 6 feet in
height, The existing hedge is on a hill and is appT*oximatcly 9 feet high from the
uphill side and approximately 121/2 feet tall at the lowest grade.
many neighbors. have hedges over 6 feet in height, however, no height vadimces
for hedges have bccn granted in this neighborhood, It is believed most of tile
hedges whio are over 6 feet in height were there before the hedge height limit
was adopted and are now nonconfonning.
From the Applicant'
Debbie Johnson, applicant, said,.
A livge cedar ticc was located where the hedge is 11ow. The. tree encroached ovcr
thesidewalk and was very tnessy. It waS their respom4ibilitY Lo keep the sidewalk
clean.
The cedar tree and another tree which was located 0), the back of theii, Property
blocked the view of tile water from Mrs- Mfflrill's hOUSC.
from the con-u-nunity: I , said:
Janice Brown, daughter of Bonnie Merrill
Mrs. Merrill has owned the house since 1959,
When 9th Avenue was widened, 5 feet was, supposed to come fron) the Merrill side
and 15 fcct was supposed to come from the Johnson side. Actually, all of tile
property for the widening c-,une from die Merrill side an ' d thore is mom of a
problem with headlights on the Merrillside than on the John -Am side.

She understail& why the Johnsons wanted to take the tree down, but before the
hedge was installed her mother had a view and now the hedge blocks it so she
would like the hudge to be trimmed,
Bolinie Merr ill, neighbor, said:
Eighteen feetWas taken off her property for thest,-eet widening and rione was
taken off the Johnson property.
There is a 6 foot bigh limit on hedges and she doe-sn't know why it neods to be
higher,
0 She does not object to a 6 foot high hedge.
0 only two rooms from the Johnson house face the road, a bedroorn and the. kitchen.
0 The bcdgc is only planted in half of the JohnsoBs front yard, but it blocks the view
from her master bedrouni.
The hedge is flewbefe-mar wbefe the tree was,
Jane Jacobson, Edmonds resident, asked how much time was spent I in tlie rnastcr bedroom
looking at the view.
Response from the ApplicanC
Debbie Johnson said:
The hedge was planted where the tree was taken out,
An Engliph Laurel hedge is planted below the house which blocks headlights
coming from the other direction.
They could have planted a QIump of trees instead of the hedge and accornplished
the sanie, thing in that the trees would also block the lights from carg and 0-ie code
does not regulate the height of trees.
CORRF,SPONDENCE;
from members of the rneral publj
One letter was received c on this issue- Bonnie Merrill
submitted Exhibit B in which she objected to a variance which would allow the hedge to he 12
feet high as she feels it will affect her property value and block a view corridor.

FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS
A. SITE DESCRIPTION
1. Site Development And Zoning:
a. Facts:
plar in
1) Size: The, subjcot property is 12,000 square feet in area, rectnn6
shape with 110 feet of frontage- along 9th Avenue N. und a depth of
120 feet (see Exhibit A, Attachment 4). An access easennent runs
along the northern 20 feet of the lot..
2) Land Use The subject property is developed with a single-fainilY
residence.
3) Zoning: The zoning of the subject property is Single -Family
Reside,T)tial (RS-12) (see Exhibit A, Attachment 1).
4) Terrain and Vegetation; The subject sito slopes down to the west,
and is landscaped with trees and shrubs. The high point of the
property is along 9th Avenue N., and particularly along die southeast
corner. The hedge is growing along 9th Avenue N. and the south
property line on a slope to the wegt.
2. Neighboring Development And Zooing.
1) The pToperties to the north, south and east aTe zoned Single -Family
Residential (RS-12) (see Exhibit A, Attachment 1) and are deveioped
with single-family residences.
2) The property to the west is zoned Singlc-Farnily Residential (R.S-12)
and i& undeveloped (see Exhibit A, Attachment 1).
B. MSTORY
The applicants have stated that wben t1hey puTchased their home, a 120 foot high
tp
by 35 foot wide Ubanon or diadora cedar tree was growing in their frorit yard.
After they were iaformcd that somcono had slipped on the needler, the tree
dropped on the sidewalk, and that it was their responsibility to kccp the sidowalk
clean. they cut the tree down (see Exhibit A, Attachment 5). Becau.se 9th Avenue
N. slope& down steeply from the south, the headlights shine at the applilcanLs'
house where the tree used to stand, and the noise from traffic Was also greater
after the trco was mmoved. The applicants planted the hedge to block the
he,adhgbts and noise from cars along 9th-Avcnue N. In Octobu-r 1995 the
Planning Department received a complaint about the height of the hedge, stating
that the hedge blocked the complainant's view of Puget Sound (Exhibit A,
Attachment 6). Due toataff turnover and heavy workloads, the complaint was not
reseaTched until February 1997. At that tirne the hedge meaqured approximately 9

feet from the uphill side. A letter was simt to thr, property owners informing thern
of the hedge height limit. The owners have chosen to request it variance to allow
thern to keep their hedge at the, height it is now.
C. STATE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT (SEPA)
1. Facts.. variances granted based on special circumstances are exenipt fruni
SEPA review (WAC 197-11-800(6)(b) and ECDC 20.15A.090),
D. EDMONDS COMMUNITY DEvELOPMtNT CODE (ECDC) COMPLIANCE
1. Critical Areas Compliance
a. F—actst 0. 15, B
1) Tills proposal is subject to review under ECDC Chi'Ptc't 2
(Critical Areas Ordinaricc).
2) The applicant has submitted a Critical Areas Checklist (CA-97-65) and
the, city has imaed a Conditional Waiver to the Critical Areas Study
requirement. This is because the site has an Erosion Hazard Area, so
any alteration must meet conditions designed to rcducc crosion,
including an erosion control plan, timing of the Project and trec
cloaxing permits for slopes exceeding 25 pe.rcent.
b. EgadniWa: The proposal coinPlies with the requirements of Lhe City's
Critical Areas Ordinarce.
Compliance with Chapter 17.30 -- Feoces and Hedges
a. Fact: Regulations regarding hedges in all zones are set foTLh in Chapter
17.30.
1) ECDC 17.30,000.0 States that 'Unless a vanance is fllrst obt,,ijiled, no
fence or hedge shall be more than six feet in height as measured frorn
the top of tho fence to the jowe.gt original grade."
2) F-CDC 17.30.010.A gives special height re.strictiorls for strects and
corners. '114sight shall normally be limited to thrcz feet Within 10 fect
of any strect right-of-way or at,=ss easeinent or 30 feet of any corner,
unless an exception is approvc-d,"
3) BCDC 17.30.010.8 gives the exception criteria: 'qf t1le city engineer
finds that no hazard to usf,-fs of the streat or to nearbY property will be
created, the city ellgifieer may approve a f6rice or hedge of up to Six
feet in height."
4)- The Engineering Division has stated in a nicinoranduni froni Gordy
Hyde, Engin.cering Coordinator, Illat no hazards are created by the
current hedge height (seesection H.E.I.a.).
b. _ConcltLsion: The city engineer, through his designee, has approved tile
proposed height, so if the variance criteria are -Met, the proposal will
col-nply with the requirements of the zoning ordinance.

I Compliance witb Requirements for a Virianct
1) Cbapter 20.85 of the BCDC sets forth the mechanism whereby a
provision of the Code may be Y&ried on a case -by -case- basii; if the.
application of the provision would result in an unuSICKLI and
urveasouable hardship. The criteria areas follows:
a) Special Circumstances: That because of special circurnstancei
relating to the property such as size., shape, topography, loc�iiion or
surroundings of the property, strict enforcement of the zoning
ordinance would deprive the owner of use rights and. privileges
pennittcd to other properties in the vicinity with the same Yoning.
Special circumstances should not be prcdi(;a(cd upon any factor
personal to the owner such as age or disability, extra expense
which may be necessary to comply with the zoning orriinance, the
ability to secure a scenic view. tile ability to mike more profitable
use of the property, not any factor resulting frorn tho action of the
owner or any past owner of the same property.
b) S2eciai Privilege: T hat the approval of the vari ance would not be a
grant of special privilege to the property in comparison with the
limitations upon other properties in the vicinity with the, saine
zoning.
c) oning Ordinanc : That the approval of
the variance will be consistent with the intent of the comprchcrisive
plan, the zoning ordinance, and the zoning disLfict in which the
property is located.
d) Not Detrimental: That the variance, as approved or condidonally
approved, will not be significantly detrimental to the public health,
safety and welfare or injurious to the propexty or i InProveme" ts ill
the vicinity and the same zone.
e) Minirrium Varia=: That the approved variince is the minimum
recessary to allow die owner rights enjoyed by other properties in
ttle vicinity with the same zoning.
2) The applicant has submitted declarations with their submittal which
address the decisional criteria as follows (see Exhibit A, Attachment
3):
a) The special cii-curnstances the applicants nictition include the
increased traffi c on 9th Avenue N. cau5ing more noise and los%
of privacy. Also because the cars come downhill frorn abovc
them the headlights shine in their windows.
b) The applicants point out that the city widened 9th Avenue N. in
1970 andsince then many neigbbors have planted hedge.; that

are over the 6 foot limit, so the approval would not be a grant
of special privilege.
r,) Approval will allow.for a single-family use, consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan.
d) The applicants state they are trying to protect their single-
f�nWy home from the glare and noise of 9th Avolluc N.
e) The applicant:3 feel that the hedge is a benefit to the
neighborhood over the 120-foot tree which had been in that
location, since the treve blocked more views than the hedge
does. and because the tree had dropped needles oil the
sidewalk, which was a safety hazard to pedestrians.
f) The applicants feel this is the minit-nurri. variance needed, as it
-is the proper height to block the headlights of cars coming
down 9th Avt�nue N. ard is just in the area left when the, tree
was cut down.
3) Traffic volumes On this segment of 9th Avenue N. are about 6300
vehicles per day, according to Gordy Hyde, Engineeting Coordhwtor.
4) The ordinance which set a limit on hedge heights was passed in 1978,
eight years after the widening of 9th Avenue N. mentioned above.
b. Qneluslon .
1) The traffic along 9th Avenue N. and the slope down die hill LOWards
this house provide no more In the way of spc6al circumstances then
exist on many other hills in Edmonds, If the City Council imended to
exempt properties on hills from the hedge height requirements it is
believed that they would have specified so in the ordinance. The
Examiner believes, howrYer, that the Council intended the hedge
height regulation to be i1nplemented throughout the city, especitilly in
areas where there are hills in order to protect vWws.
2) Several property owners along 9th Avonue have hedges which are over
6 feet in height so granting the variance would not appcar to be a
,qpccial privilege. However, it is unknown when these other hedges
were planted, Staff thinks they were planted in the 1970s and could
have been over 6 feet in height before the hedge heiglit regulation,,;
were arioptcd. Therefore, they would be legal nonconforming hedges
and should not be used as a basis for granting a variance under the
present regulatioris, If they were planted after the hedge height
regulation was adopted, they are in violation of the regulation and
again should not be used as a b-mis for granting approval of a variance.
Rather, a violation i.% the baiis for code enforcement lction� Stuff
indicated at the hearing that no other hcdgr, height Yaritinces have been
JUN-19-97 THU 12:57

granted in this area. Therefore, the approval of a variance to allow a
121A foot WSh hedge would be a grant of special privilege.
3) Approval of the proposed variance would not change the use of tile
property, which is consistent with the intent of the Zoning Code and
the Comprehensive Plan designation of the site (see also Section F
below).
4) The complaint which was received (see Exhibit A. Attachment 6)
states that the hedge blocks a view of the PUgeL Sound, but the
applicant and the former owner boch assen that thc removal of the tree
which the hedge is replacing actually improved views in tile area, and
that the current hedge blocks views less than the tree did (see Exbibit
A, Attachment 5), The reason for replacing the tree wilb the hedge
was that the trez was droppiog needles which were a hazard to the
health of joggers who slipped on them, so the hedge is an improvement
in that respect. In sum, it appears that tile replacement of the tree with
the hedgge is an improvement for public safety and a benefit for
properties in the area.
5) The applicants have been trimming the hedge at the height it is now
,and intend to keep it that height, because it is the height needed to keep
headlights from shining in their windows. On a level lot, a 6-foot high
hedge would be adequate to keep headlights from shining in ground -
level windows. In this case, a 6-foot high hedge which is trimmed
parallel to the ground should also provide some relief from car
headlights
E. TECHNICAL COMMITTEE
1. Review by City Departments
a. Fact: The variance application has been reviewed and evaluated by the
Fire Department, Public Works Division, Engineering DivisioD, and the
Parkg and Recreation Division. The only comi-nents; received were from
the Engineering Division, who commented,
"The Engineering Division has no requirements to impose at Lhis time.
The sight distance restriction in this case is not created by the height of the
hedge, The hedge should not be allowed to grow out into the public right-
of-way. The applicant will necd to comply with all the terms of ft,'Y future,
permits. )I

DECISION
Before a variance can be approved, it must Meet all of the adopted criteria, Based upon the
foregoing findings and conclusions, this raquast does not meet all of Lhe criteria, and
therefore, the request for a variance, to increase the.1naximurn allowed hedge height frorn 6
feet to 12 V2 fe�t is denied. The top of the hedge may be parallel with the ground und the
hedge height shall not exceed an average of 6 feet above the ground, If the applicants desirc
the top of the hedge to be level then the he-dge shall be limited to a he . ight of 6 feet from the
lowest point of the slope.

OF THE HEARING EXAMINER
CITY OF EDMONDS
APPLICANTS: Randy and Debbie Johnson
CASE NO.: V 91-64
LOCATION: 643 - VIM Avenue N
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS
A. The applicant filed a request for reconsideration dated June 27.1997 (Reconsideration
Exhibit A).
B. City of Edmonds staff did not respond to the request for mronsideraEion
C. The. following represents the Examiner's response to each major point raised in the.
request for reconsideration:
ParagMh 1:
There are many hedges in Edmonds planted after 1978 which are over the allowed height.
Response
As pointed out in Conclusion D.3.b.2) on page 7 of the June 19, 1997 Hearing Exanflner
report, hedges planted in violation of the hedge height regulations are in violation of the
regulations and should not be used as a basis for gmnting approval of a variance
application, Rather, a violation is the basis for code enforcement action.
Paragraph 2
The tree which was removed was a public safety hazard. Ninth Street is an urban arterial
and with the tree removed, living along the stiect is like living in a fish bowl. The
applicnnt's should not be penalized for removing a public safety hazard.
Response,,.
There is no intcnt to penalizc the applicdnt's for.rernQving a public safety hazard.
Conclusion D,3.b.4) on page 8 of the June 19,1997 Hearing Examiner report said "it
appears that the replacement of the tree with the hedge is an improvement for Public
safety and a benefit for properties in the area."

Paragra
A six foot high hedge will r)ot provide relief from car lights leaving Olen Street or tile
neighbor's driveway.
Respon5
A reduction in the height of the hedge will probably not provide much relief frorri car
liy,hts leaviDg Glen Street, particularly if they turn north due to the d1f('crcncc in clevatioii
between Glen Street and the applicant's home. Glen Street is a short, clead-eildArect
which serveq a relatively small number of homes. howevar, the Exaflilner did 1101 consider
lights from any Cars CCrning from Glen Street when the original decision was mil(le.
Paragraph 4:
Staff informed the applicants that view was not an issue so no view defense wm, pin-lued.
There was no view from the Merrill home, before the hedge was planted due to the, large
tree which existed in front and a large. fir tree and cherry trees which exis(ed in back of
the applicant's house.
EUP-0 B 56 .1
Conclusion D.3 b.4) on page 8 of the June 19, 1997 Hearing Examiner report cone luded
that based on assertions from the applicant and the forTner owner of the house currently
occupied by the applicant that the current hedge, blocks views less than the old cedar tree
in front and the old fir tree in back did, View blockage by the current hedge was not a
significant issue in the Examiner's decision.
Paragnap 5-
Several points were raised:
An average of 10 feet was taken from the, applicant's property in 1970.
There are four roorM in the front of the applicant's home.
The hedge was planted whcrc tho tree existed.
It seems crazy to cut down the hedge if a compromise, can't be reac,hed and then
replace it with lots of large trees and bushes.
Respons
All of the points raised above are acknowledged. However, beforca variance call be
granted, an application for a variance must meet all of the criteria found in Chapter 20.95,
In this case, the Examiner originally concluded that the special CirCLIinstance test Was nat
met, and the Examiner was not colivinced that a 12Y2 foot higii hedge is the minimurn
necessary to allow the applicants rights enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity where
the zoning roquirements have bacri met. In reconsidering this case, the Exatniner now

concurs that a 5pecial circum5tance does exist due to the potenti a] for car I ight-q froill Glen
Street, however, the Examiner still belicycs a hcdge height of over 12 feet ib excessive
-n nor
and is not the mininiurn necessary. After further review of this case, the Exai i
believes a hedge height of 8 feet would provide reasonable relief From car lights from
Glen Street and the original, decision should be modified to allow an 8 foot high hedge,
RECONSIDERATION DECISION
The decision of the Hearing Examiner Report dated Junc 19, 1997 is hereby modified to road:
After reconsideration, the request to increase the height or the hedge, to 12 �i feet is denied,
however, a hedge height of 8 feet shall be allowed. if the applicants desire the top or the hedge
to be level, then Lhe hedgeshall be hipited to a height of 8 feet from the lowest Point or the slope.
Otherwise, the top of tile hcdgc� may be parallel with Lhe ground and the hedge 11cight sliall n0t
exceed an average of 5 feet above the ground,
