Iegal Description
e
Tracts 54, 55, 56 and 57, Edmonds Sea View Tracts, according to the plat thereof
't recorded in Volume 3 of Plats t; page 76, records of Snohomish County, Washington;
TOGETHER WITH vacated Forest Deli Drive lyin adjacent thereto; EXCEPT that
of said Tracts 54 and portion
55 described as follow : Beginning at the northeast corner
t of said Tract 54; thence N70°39'33W, along the north line of said Tracts 54 and 559
a distance of 687.50 feet; thence SO°19127"W, along the west line of said Tract 55,
r a distance of 570.00 feet; thence N82°19127"E, a distance of 125.00 feet; thence
N46°52'39"E, a distance of 277.14 feet; thence N79°21'12"E, a distance of 331.04 feet
E to an intersection with the east line of said Tract 54; thence NO°19127"E, along said
east line, a distance of 75.00 feet to the Point of Beginning.
point 3
f
By,not granting this variance, an unnecessary hardship will continue to the owner.
of this property which is beyond his control because he will not be permitted to
build one single family dwelling on his 8.26 acres of platted land. The fact that
{ public access to the property has never been developed because of the topography• !
In the area warrants that the only feasible means to obtain access hereto would be
via a private access route. The fact that 18 feet of pavement would be required
would not make it feasible to develop the property and the hardship would continue.
We have tried to secure access from our west to Excelsior Place, a public right-of-
way, which borders our property to the south; however, we were unable to get an
easement from one of the adjoining property owners. So our.last alternative was to
go to the adjoining property owners to our east to ask them if we could s share their, E
easement. They are willing to give access as the enclosed agreement states. So c
we are in turn applying for this variance to allow us the right to use the established
easement to gain access to our land -locked property, utilizing 12 feet of pavement i
Instead of the required 18 feet. To place all the burden on our property to.do the.
s
i paving, when the city has allowed others to build on the unimproved easement, would
constitute an unnecessary hardship which would be beyond our control.

Chairman Bailey welcomed the audience and explained the functions of the Board, the
procedure for handling of the hearings, and the method of appealing decisions of i
the Board.
I APPROVAL OF MINUTES i
Minutes of the regular meeting of September 21, 1977 had been distributed. The
Deputy City Clerk said it had been called to her attention that there was an
omission on page 4 of the minutes in the hearing of V-41-71. It should be inserted
just prior to the last motion on V=41-71 that the Chairman said he would entertain
a motion and City Attorney John Wallace said that any motion made should specifically
address the criteria. Mr. Roy then made his motion. A MOTION WAS MADE BY MRS. STOLE,
j SECONDED BY MR. ROY, TO APPROVE THE MINUTES OF SEPTEMBER 21, 19779 AS AMENDED. MOTION.- �
CARRIED. 3
CORRESPONDENCE
k
A letter had been received from Diane Steinke tendering her resignation from the .
i Board, effective immediately.
I �
Before starting on the agenda, Mr. Robinson called attention to the criteria posted 5
on the bulletin board which were very difficult to read. He said it should be
possible for the people in the audience to read these, and if they are not posted in
a more legible manner there should be individual sheets to distribute to the audience x
with all of the criteria for variances and Conditional Use Permits listed. It. was
suggested that the criteria also be posted closer to the audience. firs. Block
said she would see that this matter gets attention. }`
AGENDA z
V46-77 CEDRIC LINDSAY - Variance to allow more than three homes on a private e
road north of 196th S.W. and east of Olympic View Dr. (Tract 56 & 57
and a portion of Tract 54 & 55) (RS-12)
V-5547 CEDRIC LINDSAY Variance of 6' from paving requirement on private road. J
north of 196th S.W. and east of Olympic View Dr. (Tract 56 & 57 and a r
portion of Tract 54 & 55) (RS-12)'
MR. ROY MOVED, SECONDED BY MR. HOVDE, THAT V-46-77 AND V-5547 BE
CONSOLIDATED FOR ONE PUBLIC HEARING, RECOGNIZING THAT SEPARATE MOTIONS
WILL BE REQUIRED FOR THE ACTION ON EACH ITEM. MOTION CARRIED.
Mrs. Block said this had been presented at last month's meeting and the
Board had asked for a more complete and accurate presentation. The Code
requirement is that no more than three homes are permitted access on
a private road, and there are five homes presently being served by this
easement. It is considered to be the most feasible access to the
applicant's property by both his engineer and by the City engineeer.
The proposal is for one residence on an 8'4 acre tract. The applicant
agreed to .covenant that only one home would be placed on the tract to
access from this easement. In view of the topography, the location indi-
cated is the best building site on the tract. Pars. Block said strict
enforcement of the Code would prohibit development of a house on the
property without installation of a public road. She said the topography
and the road placement are the primary special conditions and are not
the result of actions by the applicant, and the parties most closely
involved have granted permission for the applicant to use the road. The
applicant would be required to meet the standards of a private road,'
including the paving requirements,providing a turnaround,and conformance
with the Fire Code requirements. Mrs. Block recommended approval, subject
to improvement of the road to private road standards and a covenant to
preclude future homes on this site until public ac:-ess is provided. She said
several communications had been received regarding this item. There was
a letter from Frederick Knouse saying he did not oppose the application
as long as the applicant would covenant to put only one single family
residence on the site and would agree to the improvement requirements.
She distributed copies of a letter from Donald and Mildred Bauman of
9109 196th S.W., which spoke to the initial division of the land into
four tracts and their concern about adding more traffic on this road.
She read correspondence from the Engineering Department indicating that
access to this site was not feasible except by the private road, and
from the Fire Department indicating the need for fire hydrants because of
the length of the road.
Regarding the application for the variance from paving requirements,
Mrs. Block said the improvement is required to bring the road up to
private road standards. The other property owners had not paved the
th were enjoying rights the applicant did not. The special
access, so ey
conditions were not the result of actions of the applicant. Although y
cost could not be a factor in the Board's consideration of this applica-
tion, the applicant had used it as a reason for his application. Both n'
the Fire Department and Engineering Department indicated that 12' of
pavement was not adequate in this situation, and they both recommended
m on uirement Mrs Block•did not
15 - 16 of usable access as a mire mu q
recommend approval of the variance requested, but she said she would
recommend approval of a lesser variance --to allow paving of 15' - 16'
in width. The Chairman then allowed time for the Board to read the
letter from the Baumans which had been distributed earlier. Mrs. Block
called to attention that there was an agreement between all the parties
involved in this easement,and a cost -sharing provision for the paving was
included. The public portion of the hearing was opened.
John Anderson of Reid, Middleton & Associates, representing the applicant,
displayed a map of the area which reflected portions of rights -of way
which are not open or are not feasible to open. He noted that Excelsior
P1. could not be opened because of topography. He said the applicant had
attempted to get an easement to Excelsior P1. via 94th P1. 14. and had also
attempted to get access from 194th Ave., but was unsuccessful in both
instances. Mr. Anderson showed slides of the area and of the existing unpaved
road. He reviewed the proposal and said it would improve the existing access
and upgrade neighboring properties. He said the applicant was willing
to compromise and pave the road for a 15' width as recommended by the
Fire Department. Cedric Lindsay, the applicant, said the property had
been in his family a long time and that he had spent 1'2 years investigating
every access possible as the land had become landlocked. He said the
covenant agreed to would restrict the density and the land would be kept
for a long time in its present natural state. He felt,however, that it
would be a hardship not to be able to develop it at some future time.

Ray Gould of 19225 92nd W., abutting property to Tract 54, pointed out
on the map the location of his home and said this application had attracted
a lot of interest in the neighborhood. Mr. and Mrs. Knouse had gone to
see him because they would be out of town at the time of this hearing,
and he had received several calls from other people in the area. They
considered this to be a special piece of land and wished to keep it in
its natural state. He called attention to the Edmonds Policy Plan which
stated a goal that the City should assure that areas of steep slopes
reflect a high quality of site development. He said this area is desig-
nated as an environmentally sensitive area on the Policy Plan flap. He
called attention to another goal which states that open space must be i
seen as an essential element and that all feasible means should be used
to preserve it. He said the Policy Plan also addresses watersheds,which
this property is. He said everyone agreed that the primary interest
was to see the property kept in its natural state as much as possible,
and that it appeared reasonable to grant construction of one single-
family residence. However, he said there should be the condition that
the covenant would run with the land stating that only a single residence
will be built on the 814 acres, and that the covenant should be recorded.
He asked that the feelings of the neighbors be considered and that the
recommendation of the City Engineer be followed as to the width of the
paved road. Lou Bratz, real estate broker and agent for the buyer and
seller of this property, said that because of the topography he thought
most.of the site would always stay in its natural state. He said there
is about 22 acres of buildable land there and he felt it would be
confiscation to require a covenant that only one house would be built
on an 84 acre tract. Mr. Gould responded that the City has a Policy Plan
that indicates environmentally sensitive areas should be preserved, and
he suggested Mr. Lindsay explore the possibility of the City's ownership
of the property. Mr. Lindsay said he had spoken to City representatives
six or seven years previously about the possibility of this being a park
but he said he does not have the financial resources to give it to the
City so he would have to hold it and pay taxes on it. He said he did
not see the rationale that the local neighbors had that he should keep the
property himself at his expense. Mary Van Meter of 9107 206th S. W. said
she had looked at this property for over two years and she and her husband
were not used to small lots and wanted this upon which to build their home.
She said they did not intend to build on it for several years. But she
said she did not feel, in all fairness, that they could restrict their
heirs to having to pay taxes on 8,14 acres in perpetuity. She said they
had no intention of harming the property environmentally. City Attorney
Wayne Tanaka pointed out for the Van Meter's benefit that any variance
granted them would lapse after one year if a building permit were not
obtained. � After some discussion of that possibility the public portion.
of the hearing was closed.
Mr. Robinson commented that it appeared the Staff recommendation had been
misunderstood in that Mrs. Block recommended approval on the basis that
there would be a covenant on the property that there would be only one
single family residence as long as there was only the private road for
access. Mr. Gould had suggested the covenant be forever. Mr. Hovde
added that the applicant is asking for access to the property so when
the owner does build he has a legal easement for access and if at some
time a public road were put in the restriction would be ended. After
further discussion, A MOTION WAS MADE BY MR. ROBINSON, SECONDED BY MR.
HOVDE, TO APPROVE V-46-77 BECAUSE IT HAD .BEEN -RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL
BY'THE STAFF AND BECAUSE IT DID NOT APPEAR TO BE DETRIMENTAL :TO THE.
NEIGHBORHOOD, PROVIDED THAT AN ADEQUATE ,'WIDE`DRIVEWAY IS'PROVIDED AND THAT
IT`I5 SURFACED, THIS APPROVAL TO BE.CONDITIONED UPON THE ACTION ON. ,
.V-55-77; FURTHER, THIS APPROVAL TO BE SUBJECT TO A COVENANT RUNNING WITH
THE LAND THAT ONLY ONE SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING MAY BE BUILT ON THE PROPERTY
SO LONG AS ACCESS IS GAINED FROM THE PRIVATE ROAD FOR WHICH THE APPLICATION
WAS MADE$ AND, AS FURTHER SUPPORT FOR THE MOTION, IT HAD BEEN SUCCESSFULLY

"POINTED -OUT THAT THIS IS AN ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE LAREA, IT HAS BEEN
A.WATERSHED, AND IT IS OPEN SPACE. 4FURTHER, MR. I ROBINSON FELT IT WOULD
BE'UNFAIR TO EXPECT'THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY TO CONTINUE THE TAX BURDEN
OF'HAVING A LANDLOCKED PIECE OF LAND WHICH THEY COULD NOT OFFER FOR`SALE.
NOTION CARRIED.
Regarding V-55-779 Einer Johnson of the Fire Department said their
consideration as to the width of the road was based on the width of their
pumpers that would respond to a single family house fire. He said to
negotiate the curves the 8' wide pumper needed a good margin of asphalt
to allow for error under emergency conditions, that if the pumper should
go off the road it could result in loss of life or property. He said
the Fire Department recommended at least 15' wide paving and the Engineering
Department would like to see it 16' wide.. MR.-HOVDE THEN MOVED, SECONDED
BY MRS. STOLE, TO APPROVE V-55-779 GRANTING A'.VARIANCE DOWN TO 151'OFfPAVED''
SURFACE; TO CITY SPECIFICATIONS, AND INCLUDING A'STANDARD"HAMMERHEAD
TURNAROUND ON THE PROPERTY AT THE END OF THE EASEMENT ROAD.MOTION 'CARRIED:'
PUGET SOUND COLLEGE OF THE BIBLE - Conditional Use Permit for Auditorium
Use at 410 4th Ave. N. RS-12
Mrs. Block showed slides of the site and said a Conditional Use Permit
is required because the property had changed hands. The Conditional
Use Permit is granted to an entity at a particular location but when that
entity changes a new permit is required. Performances have been given
in this auditorium for many years, with the only problem being the parking,
which is on -street parking. Sound Expression Theater, one of the users
of the auditorium, anticipates approximately 250 persons in attendance
at each performance, which would generate approximately 150 cars. Although
this may cause inconvenience to adjoining property owners, the use is not
frequent and it provides a public service. The use is compatible with
school activities and the residential character of the surroundings.
Mrs. Block indicated that in discussions with the Fire Chief as to any
complications that may arise because of the parking it was felt that the
greatest cause for concern was that the fire lane is sometimes blocked
to the fire hydrant available to the building. She proposed that one of
the conditions of approval would be to renew the striping around the fire
hydrant and keep it maintained; also, sawhorses might be placed in front
of the hydrant during performances to eliminate last-minute parking there.
The Engineering Department had indicated that the neighborhood on -street
parking would be inconvenient but there are sufficient on -street parking
spaces for the anticipated 150-160 cars. Mrs. Block recommended approval.
The public portion of the hearing was opened.
Merl Beagle, Businesss Manager for Puget Sound College of the Bible, said
that when the College purchased the school there was a great deal of
concern expressed that SET and other such groups should be able to continue
using the auditorium, and they were seeking this permit to accommodate that
concern. The public hearing was then closed.
MR. VISSER MOVED, SECONDED BY MR, ROY, TO APPROVE CU-59-774 BECAUSE IT IS
A CONTINUATION OF AN EXISTING CONDITION, AND AS LONG AS IT IS IN COMPLIANCE
WITH THE CITY FIRE CODE. MOTION CARRIED. A short recess was announced.
JERRY KITZING —Conditional Use Permit for manufacturing of .cable assembly
at 407 Howell Way (BC)
Mrs. Block said light manufacturing is an allowed use in a BC zone with a
Conditional Use Permit. The use, however, must be within the enclosed
area and the area must be vented and meet Fire Code and Health Department
requirements, which the applicant had agreed to do. Parking is provided
in front of the building and is adequate for the number of employees.
The applicant had agreed not to employ more than eight people at this

Dear Joe
A S It I. ,.` • _ - ' r `'
Lit
I`' There needs tq be, 'some clarification ,as to; the,'
i
proper interpretati`on•,tI
of Section 12'ie,160-110 of the
f Edmonds Citv.Code. The'con
fusion arose in connection 1'
1 ,= with the Cedri.cl: Lindsay .request .for a ;variance from <oj

` requirement that only three homes he served bv,a,

_',.. y
r M Since the two variances asked for by the Vani4e tens t f5 �-
are so interrelated, the only reasonable interpretation
`' .,' to be given to 'Section 12.16.110 •is that if the VanMeters,
within one year_, obtain the permit to improve the road,'
tzeir rights to the access'` variance, c s well as the width

applicant's property by both his engineer and by the Cityengineeer•
The proposal is for one residence on an J3'.c acre tract: The applicant " '
• agreed to covenant that L.
only ona dome i•rould he placed on the tract to
access from this easement. In view of the topography, the location indi-
cated is�the best bui1di"gosito on the tract. `;itrs. [31ock said strict L.
enforcement of the Code would prohibit development of a house on the' jPoo-

property
and the road placement ,the primary special conditions and are not
the result of actions by;the,applicant, and the parties most closely {

Ray Gould of 19225 92.nd 11•, abutting property to Tract 54, pointed out I
on the map the location of his home and said this application had attracted
a lot of interest in the neighborhood. Mr. and Mrs, Knouse had gone to
j see him because they would be out of totter at the time of this hearing,
and he had received several calls from other people in the area. They
considered this to he a special piece of land•and wished to keep it in i
its natural state. Ile called attention to the Edmonds Policy Plan which
stated a goal that the City Should assure that areas of steep slopes of
reflect a high griality of- `.site development.'. lie. said this area is desig-
Hated as an enviro►tmental.ly'sensitive area,on the Policy Plan Map. He
called attention to mother goal which states the -it open space must be
seen as an essential element and that all feasible means, should be used
to preserve it. 41e-said the Policy Plan also addresses watersheds,tahich 1
t this property is. Fie said everyone agreed that the primary interest
i was to see the property kept in its, natural, state as much as possible,' i
•and that it appeared reasonable'to'gr.ant construction of one single
family residence. However, he said there should'be' the condition that to
the covenant imriid riin frith file land stating that: only `a single residence '.
