Development Services Director Shane Hope relayed the Planning Board meets with the City Council
periodically to clarify items in the Work Program and discuss upcoming ideas and issues.
Chair Mike Rosen advised there is one vacant position on the Planning Board as well as the Student
Representative position. He explained the presentation will identify priorities, seek the Council's input on
those priorities and guidance on how the Planning Board can better serve the City in the future. He
reviewed:

Councilmember K. Johnson recalled priorities from past years that were not included in this list, specifically
updating the subdivision and PRD code. Vice Chair Crank responded the Board has discussed that and it
was included on the list in the past. The Planning Board looks forward to the new code writer assisting with
that and at the last meeting, that was included on the list per Councilmember K. Johnson's suggestion.
Councilmember K. Johnson commented another issue that is not identified is the Five Corners
Neighborhood Plan. She recalled efforts many years ago to update the code relative to Westgate and Five
Corners, but that does not seem to have been included as it has in the past. Ms. Hope answered the list
includes neighborhood center plans and although Fiver Corners is not specifically identified, the Planning

Board is very interested in addressing it. Councilmember K. Johnson wanted to highlight that so it did not
get lost in the shuffle.
Councilmember K. Johnson was uncertain the code writer would be undertaking the subdivision and PRD
code. She recalled there was some initially discussion at the Planning Board approximately eight years ago
and then was shelved for reasons she did not know. It may be appropriate to have a general discussion about
where we have been in the past, where are we now and what do we want to accomplish before the code
writer is expected to draft language.
Councilmember Buckshnis expressed her appreciation for the Planning Board's work and said she enjoys
reading their minutes. Her interests include the tree code, stormwater, watershed, climate and she recalled
the Council was provided the low impact development code for subdivisions several years ago. Although
some of the new tree code is good, it still does not address no net loss or net ecological gain. Her priorities
include the deteriorating watersheds which can be caused by the loss of trees, stormwater, and weather
events. She asked how that could be incorporated into the Planning Board's priorities. Chair Rosen
commented many of the priorities are related to the environment but their impacts on the environment are
not necessarily equal. There are many other items that have impacts such as transportation and land use as
well as other items the City does not control. He hoped the Planning Board's minutes reflect their passion
about protecting the environment and the character of the community, understanding and appreciating
property rights, ensuring they listen to the community and not creating unintended consequences. He
understood it was a balancing act.
With regard to the tree code, Chair Rosen relayed the Planning Board was also interested in the metrics that
would be used, the starting place for no net loss and recognizing that the tree code will be part of a process.
Councilmember Buckshnis commented she has seen unintended consequences over the past years while
awaiting the Urban Forest Management Plan (UFMP) and the tree code.
Councilmember Olson recalled the Planning Board leadership reached out to the Council so the Council's
priorities could be reflected in the list of priorities. Housing will be a significant part of this year's work;
implementing ideas so that there is a good outcome will be important. Ideas are often not necessarily good
or bad, it depends on how they are implemented. She recommended including in that conversation the issue
of variances and when they are appropriate. For example, there is not a lot of value to determining setbacks
or building heights if they will be waived during the process. She was interested in the Planning Board
discussing what has to exist for a variance or waiver to be approved.
Councilmember L. Johnson commented in reviewing the Planning Board's list, their environmental focus
is evident and she felt the Planning Board definitely considered her input. She expressed her full support
for the environmentally focused priorities specifically the tree code, UFMP update, and climate plan goals
including the EV charging. She asked for clarification on Priorities 4 and 7, how they are distinguished
from each other and where they overlap. Development Services Director Shane Hope answered the
Planning Board is still working on this. There has been some work done on low impact subdivision code
updates as well as more opportunities for a sustainable approach to subdivision codes. Priority 6, Low
impact / stormwater code review and update, has a climate, environmental and infrastructure impact.
Priority 7, Sustainable development codes review and updates, the intent is to ensure development codes
are sustainable such as net ecological gain. Those will be considerations as the code update occurs.
Councilmember L. Johnson said she also appreciated the increased youth involvement and looked forward
to hearing how that will be accomplished. Chair Rosen said increasing public engagement in general is of
interest to the Planning Board and he was pleased there was a new community outreach person at the City
and looked forward to collaborating with her and providing ways for the public to participate in ways they

are comfortable and specifically the youth. The Planning Board has had several conversations about how
to better involve youth and be more proactive.
Council President Paine commented a comprehensive tree code as well as a tree canopy assessment will
assist the Planning Board with their environmental focus. As there is a lot of concern about sidewalks, she
was glad to see that on the list of priorities. She appreciated the focus on infrastructure and accomplishing
it in an environmentally responsible way. She appreciated the Planning Board's review and discussion
regarding the tree code. Vice Chair Crank said the list of 11 priorities was not in priority order. In
developing the list, the Planning Board acknowledged limits in time and space and wanted to focus on items
they could touch this calendar year. The Planning Board also recognized there had been a significant change
on the Council since the last joint meeting so they wanted to leave space to include other topics and
reprioritizing items.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas said if she had been contacted, she might have suggested adding zoning
of the waterfront to the list of priorities.
Councilmember Distelhorst thanked Planning Board Members for attending and expressed his appreciation
for the conversation with Board Chair Rosen earlier this year. The priority list is fantastic and he wanted
the Planning Board to do all of it. He appreciated the discussion on intersectionality of some of the issues
and hoped the Planning Board would look at that beyond City boundaries. Some key state legislation has
looked at climate, housing, transportation and vehicle miles traveled — some have passed and some have
not. With regard to unintended consequences, some of the City's actions which may be seen as pro -
environmental in Edmonds can have impacts outside the City's borders. He was excited about taking a
regional, holistic approach to decisions on housing, transportation, and land use. Highway 99 would be
another priority as well as coupling bicycle storage facilities in multi -unit developments with the necessary
infrastructure improvements to ensure people feel safe riding. For example, it does not make sense to have
multi -unit developments on a very busy corridor with a speed limit of 40 mph where people cannot use
their bikes for transportation. He suggested that to be considered with a comprehensive lens rather than as
a one-off. Chair Rosen agreed most issues are not geographically restricted especially related to the
environment.
Councilmember Distelhorst said staff has been working on a regional DADU working group; nearly every
city in Snohomish County allows DADUs and Edmonds is the only that does not. He cited a DADU under
construction in Esperance.
Councilmember Buckshnis said funds were included in the budget to do a Comprehensive Plan review of
the waterfront. She recalled Edmonds Crossing is still identified several times in the Comprehensive Plan
and agreed the zoning of the waterfront needs to be reviewed. She asked if the Planning Board has any
interaction with other commissions. Board Member Pence said he is the liaison between the Planning Board
and the Economic Development Commission, primarily communicating the Planning Board's efforts such
as tree code.
Councilmember K. Johnson asked if the list of priorities were in a ranked order or a general list. Vice Chair
Crank said it is a list of priorities; they are not in a ranked order. Councilmember K. Johnson suggested
they could be called the Planning Board's work program rather than priorities. Chair Rosen answered the
intent of this presentation was to ensure the City Council agrees with the Planning Board's list, whether
anything needed to be added or removed. Ms. Hope relayed tree issues will be next on the Planning Board's
agenda.
Student Rep Roberts asked if the Planning Board saw any opportunity for collaboration between the Youth
Commission and the Planning Board on projects. Chair Rosen said the board recognizes it has not done a

good job accessing youth as a resource and they plan to do better. Vice Chair Crank said Planning Board
Member Daniel Robles reached out to the previous student representative for suggestions regarding what
the Planning Board was doing right, what they could do better, etc. The Planning Board is open to
collaboration.
Council President Paine suggested neighborhood plans would be a good opportunity for collaboration with
the Planning Board. She expressed her appreciation to the Planning Board for all the work they do. Chair
Rosen relayed the Planning Board's job is to ensure the City Council has information to make good
decisions. He asked if there was anything the Planning Board could do to better assist the Council.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas commented on the importance of communication, pointing out better
communication would be helpful for both the Council and the Planning Board. Meeting once a year does
not allow the members of the Council or the Planning Board to get into specifics. Chair Rosen welcomed
any specific input, relaying there has been discussion about using the three minute public comment to
provide brief updates regarding topics the Planning Board is discussing and/or preparing position papers to
draw attention to certain topics. He welcomed any specific suggestions for improved communication.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas suggested pairing Planning Board Members with Councilmembers to
provide periodic updates and/or gather feedback.
Councilmember Buckshnis said she thoroughly enjoys reading the Planning Board minutes and observed
the Planning Board meetings videos have been posted. She suggested utilizing the Development Services
Report as a way to communicate Planning Board issues to the City Council.
Councilmember L. Johnson expressed appreciation for Chair Rosen reaching out to her and felt the
priorities reflected her input. In addition to the Planning Board seeking input from Council, she said it was
also important for Councilmembers to reach out to the Planning Board for more information on topics they
are considering. She asked who she should reach out to. Chair Rosen said there is always benefit from
hearing directly from individuals; he appreciated one-on-one conversations. The Planning Board is a group
that works for the City Council and he did not want to imply that Councilmember could provide individual
direction. Vice Chair Crank appreciated the positive feedback on the minutes, commenting in a large part
because of Chair Rosen, Planning Board Members have been purposely verbose in the minutes to ensure
all discussions are being captured. Chair Rosen is very adept at summarizing the entire discussion and that
is included in the minutes.
Councilmember K. Johnson thanked the members for their service on the Planning Board. It is a very
important role for the City and having served on the Planning Board, she was aware at how much in-depth
work they do. It is appropriate for the Planning Board to assume that role because the Council simply does
not have the time. She appreciated the Planning Board's advisory role to the Council and that they take the
time to understand the issues and provide Council their input.
Councilmember Distelhorst recognized that Chair Rosen and other Planning Board Members have
professional experience in public engagement and public participation. He asked how the Council can
support the Planning Board in ensuring long term continuance of public participation. He appreciated
receiving more online surveys and household mailers from the City in the last six months than ever before.
He asked what the Planning Board needed to ensure the Council and staff could continue providing more
equitable public participation opportunities. Chair Rosen said he has heard from both the Mayor and
Councilmembers that public engagement as well as increasing engagement is a high priority. The days of
requiring the public show up in -person to a building is not in a comfort zone or convenient. The City needs
to have enough tools to allow people to engage in whatever way they are comfortable in engaging as well
as doing a good job informing them of those opportunities. The tools as well as the evaluation are important
to ensure the loudest voice doesn't always win as sometimes the majority voice is incorrect.

5. APPROVAL OF AGENDA
COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-MONILLAS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT
PAINE, TO APPROVE THE AGENDA IN CONTENT AND ORDER.
COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER K. JOHNSON,
TO AMEND TO ADD ORDINANCE NO 4217, AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS,
WASHINGTON, ESTABLISHING AN INTERIM EMERGENCY REGULATION TO PROHIBIT
THE REMOVAL OF CERTAIN LANDMARK TREES ON A TEMPORARY BASIS, SETTING SIX
MONTHS AS THE EFFECTIVE PERIOD OF THE INTERIM REGULATION AND
DECLARATION OF EMERGENCY, AS ITEM 8.2
Councilmember Buckshnis explained since she did not have the votes last week to get Ordinance No. 4200
on the agenda, she would like to introduce Ordinance No. 4217.
Council President Paine pointed out there is a public hearing next week on Ordinance No. 4217.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked City Attorney Jeff Taraday to opine on this. Mr. Taraday explained
the point of a public hearing on an interim ordinance is to determine whether the Council wants to continue
the interim ordinance or repeal it. The presumption is the interim ordinance is adopted without a public
hearing so the public hearing occurs after the fact to essentially confirm that the Council wants to leave the
interim ordinance in place.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked about adding another emergency ordinance.
Councilmember Buckshnis raised a point of order, stating she was adding this ordinance to the agenda for
discussion and perhaps an amendment. Mayor Nelson ruled point taken.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas said she was unclear how that affected the public hearing. Mr. Taraday
said he had not seen the ordinance that Councilmember Buckshnis requested be added to the agenda.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas observed Mr. Taraday had not written the ordinance. Mr. Taraday said he
had not.
UPON ROLL CALL, AMENDMENT FAILED (3-4), COUNCILMEMBERS K. JOHNSON,
BUCKSHNIS AND OLSON VOTING YES; AND COUNCILMEMBERS DISTELHORST,
FRALEY-MONILLAS AND L. JOHNSON AND COUNCIL PRESIDENT PAINE VOTING NO
COUNCILMEMBER OLSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS, TO
AMEND THE AGENDA, ADDING AS ITEM 8.2, UN -TABLE REIMBURSEMENT REQUEST
THAT WAS TABLED A FEW WEEKS AGO.
Councilmember L. Johnson expressed concern that requests have been made to add two items to the agenda;
it was her understanding when Councilmembers knew they planned to add something to the agenda, as a
courtesy they gave other Councilmembers a heads up and provided information so there was time to review
it in advance. She has done her due diligence to prepare for tonight's meeting and now is being asked to
consider two additional items for which she does not have material to consider. Assuming both
Councilmembers knew they planned to add these items, if she had been provided the information, she would
have spent time reviewing it prior to committees meetings. She summarized she was challenged and a little
frustrated by the last minute requests and it would be easier to consider these items if Councilmembers had
the courtesy of sending them out in advance.

6.1.a
Councilmember Distelhorst recalled the Rules of Procedure that were on last week's agenda and were tabled
for three weeks include a section on Councilmember reimbursements. His position for the last two months
has been a preference for a long-term policy that addresses Councilmember reimbursements rather than
one-off decisions because that would provide more long term benefit to current and future Councilmembers
rather than handling things in an ad -hoc fashion. He looked forward to discussing reimbursement policies
as part of the updated Rules of Procedure which will come back to Council in two weeks.
Councilmember Olson commented Councilmember L. Johnson made a valid point and she could have done
that but thought everyone knew she intended to bring this back and had asked for it to be on the agenda.
Councilmember Olson offered to withdraw the amendment and requested it be added to the agenda next
week as an un-tabled item. With regard to Councilmember Distelhorst's comments, she pointed out an
upcoming policy will not be retroactive to something that occurred in December. Whatever policy was in
place in December would be relevant to this reimbursement request.
COUNCILMEMBER OLSON WITHDREW THE AMENDMENT.
Councilmember Buckshnis explained the ordinance the Council passed was related to landmark trees and
Councilmembers should be aware of it. Council has every right to put whatever they want on the agenda;
she has been in meetings all day today so did not have an opportunity to send out information ahead of the
meeting. She assumed everyone knew it was coming since her request to extend the moratorium was not
approved.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas raised a point of order, stating Councilmember Buckshnis was discussing
a motion that was not approved. Mayor Nelson advised the Council has moved on to another topic.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas thanked Councilmember Distelhorst for reminding the Council that the
Rules of Procedure which include a reimbursement policy will be coming back to the Council.
MAIN MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
6. AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Mayor Nelson invited participants and described the procedures for audience comments.
Marjie Fields, Edmonds, was pleased the Council was continuing to improve the tree code and looked
forward to further progress at tonight's meeting. She was particularly concerned about large, old trees for
protecting watersheds and hoped there was some way of preserving trees doing important work in
mitigating damage to fragile watersheds such as Perrinville. She was also concerned that the code makes it
too easy for developers to ignore the tree retention requirement by just paying the fee for removing trees
and passing the fee on to the buyer which does not protect trees. She requested the Council reexamine the
fee -in -lieu provisions.
Robert Boehlke, owner of House Wares on Main Street for the last 22 years, said after listening to last
Tuesday's Walkable Main Street presentation and the subsequent discussion, he and several merchants who
were also in attendance felt they were unheard and invalidated. In their opinion, the survey as written was
skewed to favor Walkable Main Street and their objections were minimized. For that reason, they relayed
their concerns directly to the local community who are a critical component to the success of their
businesses. They composed a statement identifying their position and a compromise that all sides should
be able to accept, Save our Saturdays (SOS). Saturday is a very important day in the retail trade; their local
customers and fellow retailers depend on it. He suggested Sunday be designated Fun Day with a Walkable
Main Street. In response to a comment that few merchants were opposed to Walkable Main Street, an
impromptu canvas of fellow Main Street merchants immediately yielded 14 signatures from businesses on
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes

6.1.a
Main Street or directly adjacent which represents more than half of Main Street retailers. Others expressed
support after the SOS flyer was released. The proposal was presented to the media, copies sent to
Councilmembers and the Mayor and a public rally was held Saturday at the fountain. Community support
at the rally was overwhelming, very positive both online and in person and comments included shoppers
were deterred on the days Main Street was closed. He urged the Mayor and City Council to consider leaving
Main Street open to traffic, business parking and access on Saturdays and reserve Sundays for Walkable
Main Street.
Dave Teitzel, Edmonds, an Edmonds resident for approximately 40 years, said he and his family have
been happy to patronize a wide variety of local businesses for decades. Last year's pandemic caused a major
decrease in revenue for all restaurants and retail businesses and unlike Seattle, Edmonds has been fortunate
that most of its bars and eateries have remained viable through a combination of good management, CARES
Act funding and help from the City. He applauded the administration and Council's efforts in that regard.
Walkable Main Street was a good experiment during the pandemic to allow people to get out and safely
enjoy downtown and maintain proper social distancing. While Walkable Main Street was popular on
Saturdays and Sundays during the pandemic, the effects of the street closures on businesses have been very
uneven. Walkable Main Street has greatly benefit eateries and bars, but many downtown retail businesses
have reported negative effects from the program, experiencing revenue reductions on Saturdays of 30-50%
when Saturdays are downtown businesses' best retail sale days. Many downtown businesses are still reeling
from the pandemic restrictions and desperately need Saturdays sales revenue to allow them to remain viable.
Recognizing that the Council and Mayor had heard directly from a number of downtown businesses
expressing their concern, Mr. Teitzel strongly encouraged them to listen to the concerns of their
constituents, downtown businesses as well as their patrons. Maintaining the appeal of Edmonds requires a
vibrant array of restaurants, bars and retail businesses; all these businesses deserve the City's support. A
fair compromise to help all downtown businesses is to continue a Walkable Main Street program on
Sundays and allow Main Street to remain open to traffic on Saturdays. This compromise would enable retail
businesses to maximize Saturday revenue and still allow bars and restaurants to attract foot traffic. It is the
responsibility of elected officials to listen to their constituents; in this instance their constituents are asking
for a compromise regarding Walkable Main Street.
Jim Ogonowski, Edmonds, found the joint meeting with the Planning Board very interesting and he
appreciated the comments. He suggested the Council missed an opportunity to assist the Planning Board
by helping them prioritize their list of priorities. He was surprised not to hear anything about a vision for
the City, a vision that integrates housing, businesses, and environmental stewardship which all culminates
in the planning for the City. He was disappointed not to hear discussion about a vision such as a dense,
urban environment or a neighborhood suburban environment. He suggested the Comprehensive Plan be a
priority because that integrates the various topics. Until there is a vision for the City that encompasses the
Comprehensive Plan, "any path is going to get you there if you don't know where you're going." In his
opinion, the City did not know where it wanted to go and until the Comprehensive Plan was updated based
on today's environment, technology and resources, the City will continue to struggle with all the individual
topics such as tree code, housing code, etc. versus being part of an integrated plan.
Rebecca Anjewierden, owner of Rebekah's Boutique on Main Street, spoke regarding Walkable Main
Street, explaining she pays Main Street rent in order to attract drive -by and walking customers who are
drawn in by their windows. The closure of Main Street last summer cut her Saturday revenues in half and
she feared it would do the same this year. Her regular customers said they are not comfortable coming on
the weekends and will be avoiding Walkable Main Street. July and August are typically her biggest months
for selling clothing when people are out and about enjoying the beautiful weather. The closure of Main
Street eliminates a lot of parking and customers tend to go to the farmers market to get flowers and do not

6.1.a
return to shop downtown after walking 3-4 blocks to their purchases in their car. She did not agree with
Walkable Main Street and preferred the compromise to close Main Street on Sundays.
Joe Scordino, Edmonds, a 42 year resident, was pleased that the Council was considering fixing the tree
code tonight and hoped the Council's discussion was not cut off again as it had been at the last four Council
meetings. The Council should not adopt an inadequate tree code; it will only result in the loss of more
mature trees in total contravention to the Urban Forest Management Plan that the City spent considerable
time preparing and adopting. The Council needs to discuss and resolve public comments that have been
submitted over the past two months which to date it appears have been ignored. Tonight's action not to put
the Landmark Tree ordinance on the agenda is another example of the Council refusing to discuss serious
tree -related issues. It is the Council's job to discuss and resolve those issues and it should not continue to
be put off and ignored. Everyone knows that the tree code is very complicated and contentious but it should
not be judged by some Councilmembers by how many meetings it has taken to resolve. For example, the
fee -in -lieu provision in the current code is a mess; it is difficult to tell if and how it applies to developer
tree retention requirements. That is a fatal flaw and must be resolved and cannot continue to be put off. He
was disappointed the Council was not listening to the public; the Council was sent a letter yesterday
cosigned by 24 citizens asking to take this issue seriously and consider the comments that have been
submitted and concerns about retaining a green environment in Edmonds and he found it troublesome that
that was not being acknowledged. He hoped the Council read the letter and took it into consideration.

7. APPROVAL OF THE CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS
8.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-MONILLAS AND SECONDED TO
APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. The agenda items
approved are as follows:
1. APPROVAL OF COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF MARCH 23, 2021
2. APPROVAL OF CLAIM, PAYROLL AND BENEFIT CHECKS, DIRECT DEPOSIT AND
WIRE PAYMENTS
1. PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO NEW TREE REGULATIONS
Development Services Director Shane Hope said tonight staff and Council will go through several
amendments that have been presented. The new tree regulations were intended to improve and strengthen
tree protection during development. Three Councilmembers worked with City Attorney Jeff Taraday,
Environmental Program Manager Kernen Lien and her to vet the remaining amendments. Mr. Lien will
review the amendments and Councilmembers will have the opportunity to make motions to include or
change the amendments.
Mr. Lien explained the proposed amendments have been inserted into the tree code that was adopted via
Ordinance 4218 in a redline/strikeout format. The redline/strikeout amendments without comments have
been voted on at previous Council meetings. He suggested starting with the first amendment in 23.10.060.
Council President Paine suggested beginning with the most contentious amendment that will require a fuller
discussion in 23.10.080 related to tree replacement and fee -in -lieu on page 11 of the ordinance. She referred
to the proposed amendment in 23.10.080.E, expressing concern it would diminish the effectiveness of the

fee -in -lieu and using it as an incentive. She anticipated this would be a very meaty topic and preferred to
handle it first.
Councilmember Buckshnis explained the reason the proposed amendment was in two colors was the
discussion began at the March 2nd meeting and then the meeting was stopped and the Council never returned
to this discussion. A subgroup was formed after a simple majority put the tree code on the Consent Agenda.
The subgroup considered the amendment shown in green. She agreed this entire section had not been
addressed since the March 2' meeting which ended abruptly.
Councilmember Olson asked if Mr. Lien could follow the amendments if they were handled in this order.
Mr. Lien assured he would be able to track the amendments. He explained he would focus on the
amendment highlighted in green; the yellow highlight was included because it was an amendment made
and seconded at a previous meeting but never discussed.
Mr. Lien presented the following amendment (shown in green highlight in the packet), that had been vetted
by the subcommittee:
Revise 23.10.080.E Tree Replacement Fee -in -lieu to read, "After providing clear documentation to
Development Services that all tree retention and/or replacement options have been considered and are
infeasible, including arborist reports as necessary, the developer shall pay a fee -in -lieu for each
replacement tree required but not replaced. ^ fee in lieu of tree r plaeement ,r be allowed, *eet to
for- eaeb f:eplaeemefit tfee r-e"ifed bu4 not planted on the appheation site E)r- an aff site leeati "
Mr. Lien explained this sentence recognizes there may be instances where the 30% tree retention standards
in 23.10.060.0 cannot be met; the trees are in the way of development. This sentences says when those
retention standards are not met and the required replacement ratios are not met, then a fee -in -lieu is required.
There are also amendments proposed with regard to how the fee -in -lieu is calculated.
Council President Paine expressed support for the proposed language because it is clear that each tree that
cannot be replaced or retained would be considered for fee -in -lieu after all the other options are considered.
She was not a fan of fee -in -lieu, finding it just the cost of doing business. However, she recognized
sometimes there are trees smackdab in the middle of a project and it would be infeasible to retain them.
This text makes it clear that any tree not retained or replaced can be considered for fee -in -lieu.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT PAINE MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER DISTELHORST,
TO ACCEPT THE LANGUAGE IN GREEN AS WRITTEN.
Councilmember K. Johnson said this language was developed by the subcommittee in collaboration with
Mr. Lien.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Mr. Lien referred to an amendment made at a meeting in March:
Add the following to 23.10.080.E.3 Tree Replacement Fee -in -lieu: "For each sign tree greater than 24" in
DBH removed, a fee based on an appraisal of the tree value by the city tree protection professional using
trunk formula method in the current edition of the Guide for Plant Appraisal shall be required."
An associated amendment was in made in 23.10.080.A.3 "For each significant tree greater than 14 inches
and less than 24 inches in DBH removed, three (3) replacement trees are required."
With those amendments, there is no replacement requirement for trees greater than 24 inch DBH, only the
appraisal and fee -in -lieu. Those two amendments were made due to the potential for a double dip if both

the appraisal and a fee -in -lieu was required based on replacement trees, there was potential to charge for
the 24" tree as well as its replacement.
Mr. Lien presented the following amendment proposed by Councilmember Olson:
Revise 23.10.080.E.1 Tree Replacement Fee -in -lieu to read:
1. Fee -in -lieu payments shall be deposited into the Tree Fund. The value of the payment shall be determined
as provided in subsections I.a and I.b below:
a. The afnetm4 of the fee shall be $1000 multiplied by the number of trees necessary to sa4isfy the 4
replaeemefA-comply with the tree retention requirements of this seetion and shall be deposited int
Gi ECDC 23.10. 060. C.1.
4.b. $350 multiplied by the number of trees necessary to satisfy the tree replacement requirements o ECDC
23.10.080.A beyond the retention standard ofECDC 23.10.060.C.1.
Mr. Lien explained this code is different than other jurisdictions' codes. Most other jurisdictions' codes
require fee -in -lieu to get to the replacement/retention standard. Edmonds' code goes beyond that; even
when the retention standard is met, the fee -in -lieu is still required for the replacement trees that could not
be planted on the property. This amendment has two different fees; if a development removes more than
the 30% and could not replant to reach 30%, the trees to reach 30% are charged at $1,000/tree. Once they
reach the number of trees required to be retained, then all remaining trees that were not planted are charged
at $350/tree, the cost to purchase and plant a tree.
Councilmember K. Johnson asked Mr. Lien to describe the Planning Board's position on the $350. Mr.
Lien answered the Planning Board's position is tied to the previous amendment. The first thing is to retain
as many trees as possible, the next step is to replant as many trees as possible, and the third step is fee -in -
lieu. With regard to the fee -in -lieu amount, the Planning Board considered several options, an alternate
replacement ratio, not requiring so many replacement trees and a different fee -in -lieu number instead of
$1,000. The Planning Board wanted the higher replacement ratio and the higher dollar amount as an
incentive to retain trees. The Planning Board's thinking was if developers have to pay more to remove and
plant trees, they will make greater efforts to retain trees.
Mr. Lien reviewed the following in the fee -in -lieu development examples:
Example 1
• Assumptions
o Appraisal for each 24" DBH Tree removed into Tree Fund
■ Assume $3,030 per 24" DBH in example
■ Average appraisal for tree inventory from the City of Renton which appraised 2,283 trees
(low $541, high $12,415)

Councilmember K. Johnson asked whether flexible layout design in the 10-lot subdivision and the
multifamily examples in order to save 24+ inch trees was incorporated into the code. Mr. Lien said he did
not run the flexible subdivision design in his example but that was something that could potentially be
applied. In the standard conservation subdivision design example, it is difficult to retain trees to the
maximum extent possible due to access easement requirements, utility easements, building footprints
outside the setbacks. Once the building footprint is filled, trees that were growing in a stand are now
vulnerable to windthrow and not the right tree in the right place anymore. A 10-lot subdivision could
definitely utilize flexible layout and staff would encourage it. The Conservation Subdivision Design was
adopted under Ordinance 4218 and the new section in the subdivision code 20.75.048.
Councilmember Olson said one of her motivations for this amendment was this code is different and special
from most jurisdictions in that it requires replacement and/or fee -in -lieu even for the ones meeting the
retention requirement. It is also true that the space where a building will be located is currently occupied
by trees and those two things are inconsistent. It is important that at the same time the Council is
incentivizing developers to retain all the trees they can, especially the big ones, to also not be punitive for
the trees that have to be removed for the sake of development on properties zoned for development.
Secondarily she had some concern and wanted Councilmembers to think about the unintended consequence
of smaller contractors who may not be able to front these enormous fees if the Council adopts something
that does not have an adjustment and is more reasonable.

6.1.a
In the context of meeting goals from the standpoint of maintaining tree canopy, Councilmember Olson
hoped the City would provide education/outreach to developers to get them to want to retain trees because
they are vested and care about the environment and the value of the trees from an environmental standpoint
even if it makes their job more difficult. She was concerned the outsized fees would prevent smaller
contractors from doing business in Edmonds and only the larger contractors, who would pass on the fees to
the home buyer, would be able to do business in Edmonds. She was uncertain that was on the Council's list
of goals.
Council President Paine said she would support the proposed Section a but not Section b.
Councilmember Distelhorst referred to the examples, expressing concern with how much the fee drops and
the possibility to incentivize the fee -in -lieu over retaining trees based on how low the fee would be. On the
flipside, he also had concerns with how high the impact fees are and passing them on to housing costs
especially when prices in Edmonds have increased 20% in the last year. He suggested that could be
addressed via housing policies versus reducing the fees which may have an unintended consequence if
developers simply pay the fee -in -lieu and not retaining any trees.
Councilmember Buckshnis commented this is a very complex code and she preferred to keep it simple. She
noted there are very few forested areas left so she did not envision small developers constructing homes
unless it was their own home. She pointed out 27 significant trees were removed for a 4,000 square foot
home. She preferred to retain the existing language.
Councilmember K. Johnson suggested dividing the question as she had heard comments in favor of Section
a and in favor of Section b.
Councilmember L. Johnson asked if Section a could stand without b. Mr. Lien answered they are tied
together and he did not think a could be included without b. He clarified the portion of a that could remain
was the reference to ECDC 23.10.060.C.1, but "comply with tree retention" did not make sense without b.
Councilmember Buckshnis preferred to retain the original language for a, but recalled in order to add b, the
language was added to a.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS AND SECONDED TO REMOVE
"COMPLY WITH TREE RETENTION" IN A AND TO REMOVE B.
Council President Paine raised a point of order, suggesting the Council vote on the original motion and then
address it through the amendment process. Mayor Nelson ruled point taken.
Mayor Nelson restated the motion:
TO ADD SECTIONS A AND B TO 23.10.080.E.1.
UPON ROLL CALL, MOTION FAILED (1-6), COUNCILMEMBER OLSON VOTING YES; AND
COUNCILMEMBERS K. JOHNSON, DISTELHORST, FRALEY-MONILLAS, BUCKSHNIS, AND

Mr. Taraday suggested Mr. Lien illustrate what the code language would look like without all those
amendments. Mr. Lien showed the code language without the proposed amendments:
23.10.080.E.1 The amount of the fee shall be $1000 multiplied by the number of trees necessary to satisfy
the tree replacement requirements of this section and shall be deposited into the City's Tree Fund.

6.1.a
Mr. Taraday said one of the things that the Council discussed during the last debate was the issue of
retention versus replacement. With the amendment that was just voted down, there was a clear implication
in the code, an implication that was voted down, that one could buy their way up to the retention
requirement. He was unclear whether in voting that down the Council was trying to direct staff that it does
not want developers to be able to buy their way out of the retention requirement or if it simply wants all
trees, whether they are trees to fulfill a retention requirement or trees to fulfill a replacement requirement,
to be paid a fee -in -lieu if not planted at the rate of $1000/tree. There are multiple ways he and Mr. Lien can
interpret the Council's deliberations and they are unclear what the Council's intentions are.
Councilmember L. Johnson said she was interested in drafting the language in a way that it does not allow
developers to buy their way out. Mr. Lien referred to the amendment in green approved earlier, "after
providing clear documentation to Development Services that all tree retention and/or replacement options
have been considered and are infeasible, including arborist reports as necessary..." pointing out that
language infers there will be situations where the 30% retention standard cannot be met. The language in
green acknowledges documentation will be required and after considering it, each tree not replanted per the
replacement standards is required to be paid at a ratio of $1,000/tree.
Councilmember L. Johnson asked Mr. Taraday to clarify what he was alluding to in his previous comments.
Mr. Taraday wanted to ensure, 1) that the Council understands this code, and 2) that staff understands the
Council. In listening to the debate, he was not clear on the Council's position with respect to the retention
requirement. Councilmember L. Johnson asked if the Council should vote on their intention so staff could
direct the Council on the way to meet it. She was unclear why Mr. Taraday was providing that advice and
what he was asking of the Council. Mr. Taraday said if the 1-6 vote that the Council just took was an
indication that they did not want developers to be able to buy themselves out of the retention requirement,
then the word "retention" in the green amendment needed to be removed via an amendment. If there are
circumstances as Mr. Lien just described where the Council recognizes there will be situations and is okay
with those situations after providing the requisite documentation where developers could buy their way out
of the retention requirement, then "retention" in the green amendment can remain.
Mayor Nelson declared a brief recess.
Councilmember Buckshnis suggested removing "tree retention and/or" in the green amendment,
commenting the Council seemed to be getting confused with tree retention and replacement trees. There
are requirements for tree retention and for tree replacement and she did not want developers to be able to
buy their way out.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS AND SECONDED TO REMOVE
"TREE RETENTION AND/OR" IN THE GREEN SECTION.
Councilmember Distelhorst asked if to address Mr. Taraday's concern, should "tree retention and/or" be
removed from the green section or should "or tree retention" be added to Section 1. Mr. Lien said having
retention in both places might be clearer. Mr. Taraday said there are a lot of options depending on what the
Council is trying to accomplish. If "retention" is removed from the green section as stated in the motion,
that means a developer cannot buy themselves out of the retention requirement and there will need to be
another process developed for what happens if the retention requirements cannot be met because, as Mr.
Lien stated, that is likely to happen on occasion. There are other possible ways to address that other than a
buy-out. Ms. Hope said it would be important to address what happens when tree retention is not possible.
Paying into a fund was one way to address that; if that was not allowed, another method needed to be
determined.
Councilmember Distelhorst asked if adding "retention" to Section 1 addresses that for the instances when
everything has been exhausted and there is no other option. Mr. Lien said even without adding it to Section
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
April 13, 2021
Page 17
Packet Pg. 20
6.1.a
1, it is addressed. It would add clarity if it was added to Section 1 as well. If a tree is removed, it will need
to be replaced to the standards in 23.10.080.A whether or not they met the retention requirements. If not
replanted, there would be a $1,000 fee. Deleting "retention and/or" as stated in the amendment will require
development of another process for properties that cannot meet the retention requirements.
Councilmember Buckshnis said Section E is titled Tree Replacement Fee -in -lieu, so she did not think it
should address retention because retention is addressed in 23.10.060 Tree Retention with Development.
She relayed Joe Scordino's comment that there are conflicts between the fee -in -lieu and tree replacement.
Councilmember K. Johnson said this was referenced as the amendment in green, but the code section on
the screen also contains underlined, strikethrough and highlighted text. Before the Council votes, she
wanted to be clear what it was voting on. Mayor Nelson clarified the amendment is to revise 23.10.080.E
to read, "After providing clear documentation to Development Services that all tree ten4ien wi&ef
replacement options have been considered and are infeasible, including arborist reports as necessary, the
developer shall pay a fee -in -lieu for each replacement tree required but not replaced."
Council President Paine suggested adding "for any tree not able to be retained, the amount of the fee shall
be $1,000 multiplied by the number of trees that were not retained..." to the tree retention section. Mr. Lien
said the tree retention section references the fee -in -lieu. Mr. Taraday said it did not. He pointed out the
significance of the proposed amendment would essentially be to direct staff to come up with some other
means of dealing with properties that do not meet the retention requirement. Ms. Hope said it is confusing
to say that someone could buy their way out of retaining trees. Clear documentation is required to show it
is truly infeasible; then if they meet that requirement, they pay a fee -in -lieu. A developer cannot just choose
to pay instead of replace.
Mr. Lien said with regard to infeasible, other changes were made to the tree retention and protection plan
regarding the documentation. He referenced language in 23.10.060.B.2.c.iv, "For trees not viable for
retention, a description of the reason(s) for removal based on poor health, high risk, of failure due to
structure, defects, unavoidable isolation (windfirmness), or unsuitability of species, etc., and for which no
reasonable alternative action is possible must be given (pruning, cabling, etc.)." That is part of the
documentation they would have to provide to show tree retention is infeasible.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Mr. Taraday interpreted this motion to mean the Council wanted staff to develop a different means of
dealing with properties that do not meet the retention requirement. One of the options would be to create a
process they would need to go through that would be more than an administrative process. For example,
something akin to a reasonable use exception where there is a public process and there is a fairly rigorous
standard that needs to be met. If they can meet the rigorous standard and there is a public opportunity to
contest the evidence, they would essentially get a variance of sorts from the retention requirement. That
would be one option that would be more than just a financial payment but a rigorous procedural requirement
that would subject the assertions of infeasibility to a high standard and a public process.
Councilmember L. Johnson asked how the public process would occur, whether it would come to Council.
Mr. Taraday responded it would probably go to the Hearing Examiner. It would depend on the type of
application, but it would likely not come to Council.
Councilmember K. Johnson commented over the past decade small and large developers have taken the
approach of clearcutting every tree prior to development which is not what the Council wants. The Council
wants to retain the largest trees and replace those that cannot be retained.

6.1.a
Councilmember Distelhorst asked for Ms. Hope's input, noting public processes have often been used to
block certain items. He had concern with that given that the Citizens Housing Commission
recommendations, provided after an 18 month process, include streamlining the permitting process and
simplifying code language related to housing and development. Ms. Hope agreed there is a tendency
sometimes for these kinds of public processes to play out in ways where people may expect that simply
showing up and protesting at a public meeting is the answer to stopping a development, when in fact the
Hearing Examiner has to go through a rigorous process of looking at the facts and criteria to determine
whether it is feasible or not. A developer would go through that process and receive a determination that
they have to replace the trees or do not have to replace the trees and would not have to pay into the tree
fund. It would be a very complicated process and although a developer would have to pay for the Hearing
Examiner process, there would need to be a process by which a developer paid additional money if they did
not meet the criteria. She was concerned that additional uncertainty would complicate things. Conversely
with a fee -in -lieu program, if a developer adequately demonstrates they truly cannot replace the trees, the
money goes into a Tree Fund that is used for tree activities and tree replacement.
Councilmember Olson said it was her fault the Council ended up on this journey. Mr. Taraday took the fact
that the amendment was voted down 1-6 as the Council was not supportive of a fee -in -lieu program, but it
may be that they were not in favor of the $350/tree. She asked if there was a way to assess where the Council
stands, whether they were fine with fee -in -lieu if it was more substantial. Mr. Taraday offered a hypothetical
question to the Council: imagine a scenario where a developer comes in for a five -lot subdivision and the
developer could meet the tree retention requirement if he only developed four lots, but to get the fifth lot,
he has to take down trees; it is infeasible to get five lots and meet the tree retention requirement. In that
scenario, would the Council want the code to say sorry developer, you only get four lots or say you get five
lots but you have to do something else instead? He said these are the type of real world examples that staff
will be faced with once applications begin to be submitted. The hypothetical he provided highlighted the
policy challenges and policy choices the Council has before it.
Councilmember Buckshnis said she clearly understood what Mr. Taraday was saying and she did not want
to add any language that provided any type of discretion for the fifth lot to happen. There is a tree retention
policy and a tree replacement policy and a fee -in -lieu. There is a price associated with replacement trees,
but it is not clear in the code whether retention or replacement takes precedence. There are conflicts between
the tree retention and fee -in -lieu and there is no indication which one supersedes the other. Councilmember
Buckshnis acknowledged she had had a long day of meetings and may not be articulating her concerns
clearly.
In regard to Mr. Taraday's hypothetical, Councilmember Distelhorst said in his view the key determination
would be what are the items for that fifth lot; there are a lot of variants that could be applicable that may
sway his opinion one way or another.
Council President Paine referred to the Planning Board's list of priorities, Items 4 and 7, Low Impact
Subdivision Code Update and Sustainable Development Code Review and Update. Using Mr. Taraday's
example, she would be satisfied to get the fifth unit if there was greener development put in place via the
code. She agreed if the developer had to be told sorry, you can get four lots but not five, and at the point
the Planning Board's priorities 4 and 7 can be completed, those are areas that can provide more wiggle
room and address retention aspects in this code once those items are completed.
Mr. Lien referred to the Conservation Subdivision Design in the code that allows for flexibility. In the
example Mr. Taraday provided, that would be one consideration — what else could be done to meet the
retention requirement. Even with that, there will still be instances where the retention standards cannot be
met. Another comment he has heard from Council tonight is that the retention language is in the wrong
place. Instead of developing an entirely new process, he suggested acknowledging in 23.10.060 that there

April 13, 2021

Packet Pg. 22
will be instances where tree retention cannot be met instead of in 23.10.080. As Ms. Hope pointed out, there
will still be a fee -in -lieu payment when the retention requirements cannot be met and that money can be
used for tree planting. Another amendment has been proposed to use the Tree Fund to purchase and preserve
forested properties and open space.
Councilmember K. Johnson said a developer doesn't have to build up to all the setbacks. If it means saving
trees, perhaps one of the considerations should be a smaller building footprint. Especially in areas that are
already downzoned, it is important not to build large buildings. She said that is done because they are spec
homes and the developer wants the maximum profit feasible. She has been told by developers that when
they market their homes, they want a clean landscape with nothing on it because that makes it more
appealing to home buyers. She contended that the code should keep as many native, large trees as possible.
Councilmember Distelhorst expressed support for Mr. Lien's comment about adding retention fee -in -lieu
language somewhere else to add the clarity that Mr. Lien and Mr. Mr. Taraday requested. Councilmember
Olson concurred.
Recognizing it was 9:34 p.m., Mr. Lien said this was not something staff could draft on the fly tonight. He
suggested the Council proceed with reviewing the simpler amendments and asked for direction regarding
adding language in 23.10.060 for instances when tree retention requirements cannot be met including
whether it is administrative process or a public variance process variance as Mr. Taraday outlined.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas commented that after working on this for 90 minutes, she was uncertain
the Council would make the best decisions by continuing to review amendments.
Councilmember Buckshnis offered to met with the subcommittee again to resolve the retention
requirements, pointing out 23.10.080.E was one of the original amendments proposed on March 2" d. Ms.
Hope suggested that would be more efficient than trying to resolve it tonight. If there was still the will to
review the simpler amendments, those could be completed tonight and staff could come back with
everything at the next available meeting. She was also tired after a long day of meetings.
Councilmember L. Johnson said she was aware that three Councilmembers worked with staff to review the
amendments. She asked if that was the subcommittee that Councilmembers and staff were referring to,
recalling she and Council President Paine also worked with staff early in the process. She asked who
constituted the subcommittee and expressed support for continuing to review the simpler proposed
amendments.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas said that was why she did not think it was best for the Council to continue
reviewing the amendments tonight. She started her Zoom meetings today at 2:30 p.m. and was reaching the
7' hour of meetings today. She encouraged Council not to continue with the review of amendments, fearing
it would "just go south."
Councilmember Buckshnis said she started her Zoom meetings today at 2 p.m. She offered to work with
administration, whether it was called a working group, a subcommittee or whatever. She was simply
offering her services as this was originally her amendment on March 2"a.
Councilmember Olson expressed support for continuing to review some of the easier amendments, recalling
Council President Paine had wanted to start with the meatier ones, but there are several that can be voted
on quickly.
Council President Paine agreed there were several amendments that could be addressed quickly. She
acknowledge everyone has had a long day, but extending the meeting slightly would allow the Council to

April 13, 2021

Packet Pg. 23
get through all the amendments and then figure out what to do about tree retention. She proposed the
Council start with the first highlighted amendment and work through them.
Councilmember Distelhorst agreed with Council President Paine and previous Councilmembers that there
were several amendments that should be quick and benign. He said he would refrain from comparing what
time he started work this morning.
Mr. Lien introduced the following amendment:
Revise 23.10.060.2.b.i to read: "Location of all proposed improvements, including building footprint,
access, utilities, applicable setbacks, critical areas, buffers and required landscaped areas clearly
identified..."
COUNCILMEMBER OLSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER DISTELHORST,
TO ADD "CRITICAL AREAS" AS SHOWN. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Mr. Lien introduced the following amendment, explaining he proposed it based on Council discussion:
Revise 3.95.040.0 to read: Monies deposited into the tree fund for a fee -in -lieu of tree replacements as
provided for in ECDC 23.10.080.E must be used to purchase trees for planting or acquiring and preserving
wooded areas and open space."
COUNCIL PRESIDENT PAINE MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER OLSON, TO ADD
"OR ACQUIRING AND PRESERVING WOODED AREAS AND OPEN SPACE" IN 3.95.040.C.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Mr. Lien introduced the following amendment:
Revise 23.10.100.C.2.f to read: "If illegal tree topping has occurred, the property owner shall be required
to have a certified arborist develop and implement a five (5) year pruning schedule in addition to monetary
fines and/or required tree replacement.
COUNCILMEMBER L. JOHNSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-
MONILLAS, TO ADD "/OR" IN 23.10.100.C.2.f. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Mr. Lien introduced the following amendment:
Revise 23.10.080.13.1 to read: "The tree is hazardous, dead, diseased, injured, or in a declining condition
with no reasonable assurance of regaining vigor, for reasons not attributable to the development."
Mr. Lien explained by adding this language, if a tree has to be removed due to damage associated with the
development, replacement would be required.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMEMBER OLSON AND SECONDED TO ADD "FOR
REASONS NOT ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE DEVELOPMENT" TO 23.10.080.B.1. MOTION
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Mr. Lien introduced the following amendment:
Add 23.10.070.C.6 to read: "Limit the time period that the critical root zone is covered by mulch, plywood,
steel plates or similar materials, or by light soils, to protect the trees critical root zone."
A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMEMBER K. JOHNSON AND SECONDED TO ADD
23.10.070.C.6 "LIMIT THE TIME PERIOD THAT THE CRITICAL ROOT ZONE IS COVERED

TO PROTECT THE TREES CRITICAL ROOT ZONE."

6.1.a
Council President Paine asked how this differed from 23.10.070.B, Placing Materials Near Trees. Mr. Lien
answered B refers to parking equipment, storing building materials, etc. near trees; 23.10.070.C.6 is related
to limiting the time that tree protection measures would be in place during development refers.
Councilmember L. Johnson asked how limiting the time would be determined, whether it was enough to
say "limit the time" or was that too vague. Mr. Lien said every development would be different. Sites are
often developed in stages, so when work is completed in that area of the site, the protection measures can
be removed. Another section of the code refers to a preconstruction meeting; this section can be discussed
during the preconstruction meeting. Councilmember L. Johnson asked if it would be beneficial or redundant
to say, "limit as discussed during preconstruction meeting." Mr. Lien did not think that was necessary.
MOTION CARRIED.
Mr. Lien introduced the following amendment:
Revise 23.10.070 Tree Protection Measures During Development to read: "Prior to development activity
or initiating tree removal on the site, vegetated areas, individual trees and soil to be preserved in accordance
with ECDC 23.10.060.B shall be protected from..."
A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-MONILLAS MOVED AND
SECONDED TO ADD "IN ACCORDANCE WITH ECDC 23.10.060.B TO 23.10.070. MOTION
CARRIED.
Mr. Lien introduced the following amendment:
Revise 23.10.060.D.3 to read: "Priority Three: Alders and cottonwoods shall be retained when all other
trees have been evaluated for tension and are not able to be retained because of mature trees that are a all
hazard except where adjacent..."
A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMEMBER K. JOHNSON AND SECONDED, TO ADD
"BECAUSE OF MATURE TREES THAT ARE A FALL HAZARD" TO 23.10.060.D.3.
Councilmember Olson said she was part of the subcommittee and accepted this amendment at the time, but
when she studied the packet later, the intent of the amendment was unclear. Mr. Lien described how he
interpreted this amendment: priority three trees are listed as alders and cottonwoods which have their place
in the environment; alders are nitrogen fixing and are usually associated with riparian corridors or wetlands
but are not necessarily the best urban tree which is why they were give priority three status. This amendment
adds because they are fall hazards to the reasons that alders and cottonwoods shouldn't be retained.
Councilmember Olson said the amendment seemed to state it was because of the other trees that are fall
hazard that it may be possible to keep the alders and cottonwoods. Mr. Lien said the fall hazard is not the
other trees; the fall hazard applies to the alders and cottonwoods. Councilmember Olson said then they
should not be retained and they are not a priority at all if there is concern with them falling. Mr. Lien said
that would be one of the considerations for retention; if they are a fall hazard, they are not trees that a
developer will want to retain.
Councilmember Olson suggested moving "and subject to a fall hazard" to follow "except for when not
adjacent to open space, wetlands or creek buffers." Mr. Lien said that changes the intent; alders and
cottonwood are a priority three. Where they would not be a priority three is where they are adjacent to open
space, wetlands or creeks. Councilmember Olson relayed her understanding of Mr. Lien's explanation that
alders and cottonwoods would be a higher priority when adjacent to open space, wetlands or creek buffers.
Mr. Lien agreed.

Packet Pg. 25
6.1.a
Councilmember Olson asked if it clear as written for a layperson when she, as a layperson, did not
understand it. Mr. Lien referred to priority one trees in D.Ld "significant trees adjacent to critical area and
their associated buffers" and the exception in D.3 "except when adjacent to open space, wetlands or creek
buffers." When alders or cottonwoods are adjacent to open space, wetlands or creek buffers, they become
priority one trees.
Councilmember Olson suggested adding, "except for when the terms in priority one apply." Mr. Lien
responded he did not think that was necessary. Councilmember Olson said other Councilmembers were
indicating it was also confusing to them.
Council President Paine did not support the proposed change, primarily because if alders and cottonwoods
are present on a development site, it is probably in a wetland or riparian area or adjacent to one or adjacent
to one that is not functioning efficiently. She accepted them being priority three, but unless they go through
a hazard analysis, she would not support the proposed changed.
Councilmember K. Johnson said alders are part of the succession forest; once an area has been logged, they
are one of the first trees to come back. As Mr. Lien said, they are nitrogen fixing and they have many
advantages such as wildlife habitat and they mature around 40 years. Young alders and cottonwoods may
be a priority three but once they mature, they become a fall hazard. This is evident on Main Street on either
side of Yost Park and in residential areas near Yost Park. She concluded it was perfectly fine to have alders,
just not when they were fall hazards.
Mayor Nelson commented this seemed to be a controversial amendment. Councilmember K. Johnson
pointed out staff did not object to the proposed language.
COUNCILMEMBER OLSON CALLED THE QUESTION. CALL FOR THE QUESTION

20 MINUTES. MOTION CARRIED (5-2).
Mr. Lien introduced the following amendment:
Revise first sentence of 23.10.060.E to read, "In considering trees for retention, applicants and the City
shall avoid, to the extent known, the selection of trees that may beeeme hazardous beea se of wind gusts
that are mature and maybe be a fall hazard, including..."

CITY SHALL AVOID, TO THE EXTENT KNOWN, THE SELECTION OF TREES THAT MAY
BECOME HAZARDOUS BECAUSE OF WIND GUSTS THAT ARE MATURE AND MAYBE BE A
FALL HAZARD, INCLUDING..."
Councilmember Distelhorst said this seemed to make more sense because it was applied to all consideration
for tree retention versus alders and cottonwoods. Mr. Lien agreed.
Council President Paine did not support the motion, preferring a hazard tree analysis that was scientifically
valid.
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
April 13, 2021

Packet Pg. 26
6.1.a
Councilmember Distelhorst asked if the point raised by Council President Paine would be consistent with
this. Mr. Lien referred to language in 23.10.060.B.2.c.iv, "for trees not viable for retention, a description of
the reason(s) for removal based on poor health, high risk of failure due to structure, defects, unavoidable
isolation (windfirmness), or unsuitability of species, etc., and for which no reasonable alternative action is
possible must be given (pruning, cabling, etc.)." If the developer is claiming hazard tree, one of things
required for documentation of hazard trees is the arborist completes the Tree Risk Assessment form that
determines whether or not a tree is a hazard. If it comes back as high or extreme risk, then it is considered
a hazard.
Councilmember L. Johnson asked if this was approved, was it redundant or did it create another opening in
the code. Mr. Lien said all this amendment does is replace "that may become hazardous because of wind
gusts" with "that are mature and may become a fall hazard." It is very similar language, just a small tweak.
Councilmember Olson asked if Mr. Lien continued to support the statement that staff does not object or did
he feel it added no value. Mr. Lien said he still did not object to this amendment.
UPON ROLL CALL, MOTION CARRIED (5-2), COUNCILMEMBERS K. JOHNSON,
DISTELHORST, BUCKSHNIS, OLSON AND L. JOHNSON VOTING YES; AND
COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-MONILLAS AND COUNCIL PRESIDENT PAINE VOTING NO.
Mr. Lien introduced the following amendment, stating he preferred the revised language:
Revise last sentence of 23.10.060.E to read:
less of a buff-er- ffem other- tfees, gr-ade ehanges affeeting the tree health and stability, anWer- the presence
of buildings in elese pr-wdfait�- ILa revised building placement would result in the retention ofmore and/or

iusted to maximize the retention of such trees.
COUNCILMEMBER K. JOHNSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER OLSON, TO
REVISE LAST SENTENCE OF 23.10.060.E TO READ: "REMAINING TREES MAY BE
SUSCEPTIBLE TO BLOWDOWNS BECAUSE OF LOSS OF A BUFFER FROM OTHER TREES,
GRADE CHANGES AFFECTING THE TREE HEALTH AND STABILITY, AND/OR THE
PRESENCE OF BUILDINGS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY. IF REVISED BUILDING PLACEMENT
WOULD RESULT IN THE RETENTION OF MORE AND/OR HIGHER PRIORITY TREES, THE
DEVELOPMENT PLAN SHOULD BE ADJUSTED TO MAXIMIZE THE RETENTION OF SUCH
TREES. "
Councilmember Olson said this was a good amendment and thanked Councilmember K. Johnson for
suggesting it.
MOTION CARRIED.
Mr. Lien introduced the following amendment:
Move 23.10.060.D.2.d "other significant native evergreen or deciduous trees" to priority one.
Mr. Lien explained staff recommends against this amendment because other significant native evergreen
trees could also be located within healthy groupings, within the setbacks or have a screening or priority
function. If more and more is moved into priority one, it downgrades what the City is trying to retain such
as specimen trees, significant trees that form a contiguous canopy, significant trees on slopes greater than
15%, significant trees adjacent to critical areas and buffers, and other big significant trees 60 feet in height
or 18 inches in diameter. As more trees are added into priority one, a developer could argue saving one of
these other trees over a specimen tree. Moving more into the priority one degrades the trees that the city
really wants to save which was why he did not support this change.

6.1.a
Councilmember K. Johnson recalled the subcommittee had this discussion and did not reach an agreement.
Her focus is on the native evergreen and deciduous trees. She preferred they be encompassed in priority
one, pointing out they were not enumerated. For example, one of the priority one is "significant trees over
60 feet in height," and she assumed most of those were native trees. She wanted it to be clear that the City
wants to keep the native tree canopy.
Councilmember Buckshnis commented most of the trees being cut are conifers, at least in the areas she has
seen in the last 4-5 years. She understood Mr. Lien's opinion, commenting the goal is to keep, retain or
replace native trees because the City has been losing its canopy for years. She expressed support for the
proposed change.
Councilmember K. Johnson suggested inserting "significant native trees that form a continuous canopy" or
"significant native trees over 60 feet tall," then the priority three category would basically be the smaller
trees. Mr. Lien said smaller trees can form a contiguous canopy. Councilmember K. Johnson said it was
more important to maintain large conifers, bigleaf maples, etc., the trees that really represent the natural
forest.
Councilmember Olson raised a point of order, asking if the supportive comments from Councilmembers K.
Johnson and Councilmember Buckshnis could be treated as the motion and second. Mayor Nelson answered
no.
COUNCILMEMBER OLSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT PAINE, TO
MOVE 23.10.060.D.2 "OTHER SIGNIFICANT NATIVE EVERGREEN OR DECIDUOUS TREES"
TO PRIORITY ONE.
Councilmember Olson referred to D. Le, "significant trees over sixty (60) feet in height or greater than
eighteen (18) inches DBH" which addresses the spirit and core of Councilmember K. Johnson's
amendment. Mr. Lien point was this waters down the priorities. If the priority is the biggest trees, whatever
they are, she assumed those were the trees that Councilmember K. Johnson wanted to save. She agreed with
not adding to priority one because then nothing is specialized or differentiated. Contiguous canopy is one
of the biggest priorities from an environmental standpoint and usually it is comprised of bigger trees. She
did not support the proposed amendment even though she made the motion.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT PAINE CALLED QUESTION. CALL FOR THE QUESTION CARRIED.
UPON ROLL CALL, MOTION FAILED (3-4), COUNCILMEMBERS K. JOHNSON AND
BUCKSHNIS AND COUNCIL PRESIDENT PAINE VOTING YES; AND COUNCILMEMBERS
DISTELHORST, FRALEY-MONILLAS, OLSON AND L. JOHNSON VOTING NO.
Mr. Lien introduced the following amendment:
Add 3.95.040.A.6: "Purchasing and planting of trees by the City ofEdmonds including Planting street trees
within the right-of-waX."
COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT PAINE, TO
ADD 3.95.040.A.6: "PURCHASING AND PLANTING OF TREES BY THE CITY OF EDMONDS
INCLUDING PLANTING STREET TREES WITHIN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY." MOTION CARRIED.
Mr. Lien said an option for tree retention will be developed and returned to Council for consideration. He
suggested a subcommittee draft options.
Councilmember Olson asked if the Council needed to pass the code as amended so something better was
in place. Mr. Taraday said the Council has that option; there is an ordinance in the packet and the Council
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
April 13, 2021
Page 25
Packet Pg. 28
6.1.a
could pass that ordinance with the amendments that have been approved tonight. Alternatively, the Council
could wait until the tree retention language is drafted and approve everything at the same time.
Mr. Lien said if the ordinance is adopted with the changes that have been approved so far, if the tree
retention requirements could not be meet, the development would have to be denied because there is no
process for a site that cannot meet the tree retention standards. Mr. Taraday agreed, there was no escape
valve or pressure release mechanism for such developments.
Councilmember Olson said she could accept that since it would probably only be 1-2 weeks before it was
brought back.

10. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Councilmember Distelhorst said it has been somewhat heartening to see increased responsible gun
legislation taking place at the state and federal levels. He appreciated the moves being taken to address the
gun violence public health epidemic in this country. It seems there have been killings occurring daily over
the past couple weeks, including in this region. Having lived in multiple other countries that do not have
any such gun violence, he personally struggled to understand why society continued to accept this senseless
violence and killing, including the killing of Dante Wright.
Councilmember Distelhorst wished Happy Ramadan to those celebrating over the next month.
Councilmember Buckshnis announced her reappointment of Nicole Hughes to the Economic Development
Commission. She thanked everyone who has contacted her, commenting she will be busy reviewing 24
grant proposals that WRIA 8 received. She hoped Walkable Edmonds will be reviewed and that Mayor
Nelson will make the correct decision.
Councilmember K. Johnson expressed her concern about Walkable Main Street, commenting there had
been an outpouring of concern from local merchants and people who support them. The perspective of the
survey people who go to Walkable Main Street, not from businesses' perspective. The joint letters, protests
and local surveys have filled that void. She hoped Mayor Nelson listened to this new point of view.
Councilmember K. Johnson explained the reason she abstained from the vote regarding hazard pay for
grocery workers was it was a very last minute proposal which she had not been briefed on other than the
packet materials. It was presented as an emergency so it had to be voted on that night, but that negated the
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes

Packet Pg. 29
6.1.a
Council's 2-3 touch rule. She did not appreciate that the topic was proposed as a rush without opportunity
for proper vetting ahead of time. The packet contained one-sided information and did not address any of
the unintended consequences that have been cited by grocery workers such as a reduction in hours and loss
of benefits or questions such as would staffing levels change or would grocery prices increase. For those
reasons, she abstained from the vote.
Council President Paine thanked the Planning Board for their presentation tonight. She was glad the Council
was down to one final issue with the tree ordinance. This is the third meeting after it was anticipated all this
work would be completed, and that was due to a number of reasons including a lack of diligence on the
packet. She recognized the tree code was important to everyone and she encouraged Councilmembers to
ask questions of staff. She agreed the COVID numbers were going in the wrong direction and encouraged
people to continue wearing masks, to be safe and to enjoy the beautiful, sunny weather.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-MONILLAS AND SECONDED TO
EXTEND 5 MORE MINUTES TO 10:30. MOTION CARRIED.
Councilmember Olson acknowledged there are currently a lot of issues of public interest. She invited the
public to a mask -wearing, socially distanced "Talk Then Walk" on Wednesday, April 21 at 10 a.m. at the
85 Degree C Bakery and Cafe near Ranch Market. A half hour chat will be followed by a walk.
Councilmember L. Johnson announced her appointment of Keith Hamilton to the Economic Development
Commission. She referred to her expressed desire last week for the City to seriously consider Sundays for
Walkable Main Street, stating she stands by that request, especially considering the strong community
support for that compromise. She looked forward to the upcoming discussions regarding that topic.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas referred to a comment about reinstating the 2-3 touch rule, noting there
were suggested additions to the agenda that did not adhere to the 2-3 touch rule. There are no policies or
procedures regarding that issue, sometimes it is observed and sometimes it is not. She was hopeful the new
Council Rules and Procedures would include something specific. She announced Linda Carl who was
former Mayor Haakenson's executive assistant and who worked for the Snohomish County Executive's
office and the Health District, retired today. She wished her well.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas relayed she accompanied the Snohomish Health District's Health Officer
to meet the Washington State Secretary of Health Dr. Umair Shah and to visit the Edmonds College vaccine
site. She found Dr. Shah a very interesting man with a wealth of information. He came to Washington from
Texas and was appointed by the Governor in January. Dr. Shah congratulated Snohomish County for having
the most people vaccinated of any county and the numbers continue to be reasonable compared to many
other counties. She said people still need to wear masks, socially distance, get vaccinated and avoid large
gatherings.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas said public health is beginning to work on gun legislation as one of the
top public health issues because it is being coming more rampant and more people are dying from gun
violence.
Student Representative Roberts urged the public to continue wearing masks whether they are vaccinated or
not, to please get vaccinated if they can, and to stay safe.

Dear Mayor and Edmonds City Council,
I am both a resident and business owner in Edmonds. I am writing to urge your consideration of
having more public input for the "Walkable Mainstreet" plan. Any action or decision with this
sheer impact to the business district deserves a public process. I am a board member of the
Edmonds Chamber of Commerce and do not recall any requests for input regarding this plan. It
is also my understanding that this was not presented to the Economic Development
Commission either. The public survey was skewed both in the questions presented and in the
fact that it did not reveal to the public what the negative impacts are associated with the street
closure. I have shared this information to several neighborhood groups including the "My
Edmonds Moms" and every remark was overwhelmingly in support of a Sunday WMS. As the
public becomes more educated it would be prudent to re -survey and consider everyone's input.
Thank you for your time,

Subject: Tree Code
Hello City Council and fellow Tree Code advocates;
A couple more thoughts besides the Fees -in -lieu -of mess:
How will the Tree Code work in conjunction with the Critical Areas Code? If a proposed
development has critical areas on it, will the Critical Areas Code take precedence and the Tree
Code not be applicable? Or will the Critical Areas Code apply to the critical areas and the Tree
Code apply to the remaining portion of the property?
Under 10.80.D.4, the replacement tree specification new section D.4, what is the Urban
Growth Area ? Is that different then City of Edmonds boundaries? Should that definition,
Urban Growth Area, be in the Definitions section ?
You will need to develop a comprehensive tree replacement planting plan and area. You may
find this harder to do than you think. I would have the Parks Department give you all a
presentation on public open spaces, parks, and other City controlled areas where mass planting
of conifers could possibly occur.
Kernen; in the new draft that I read, it looks like section 10.060.F, Preconstruction Meeting, was
left out,,,?
In the Funding Purposes section 3.95.040; 1 think it should be stated that an aerial forest canopy
analysis should be funded for, at five year intervals.
It should be remembered that all loss of significant trees should be accounted for and replaced
with multiple of -kind replacement trees.
We just lost another 7 significant trees (9 total) last week on our block. That's' a total of
13 large conifers, in the last six months, on one block alone. No replacement trees are being
planted for any of those large conifers.
You all realize that the overwhelming majority of Edmonds residents do not have a view of the
water. We have a view of the trees. And that view is disappearing quickly!
We are counting on you to preserve our forest canopy.
Thank you

Subject: Fw: Fee -In -Lieu in Tree Code Must be Fixed
Greetings City Council and All;
I agree with Joe, the new fees -in -lie -of (FILO) section is real confusing. Section .080.E.
The change made last time you worked on was a mistake. It could have been a clerical
mistake. My notes say that you were changing it to $350 FILO for replacement trees for original
trees less than 10" DBH; and $1000 for replacement trees for original tree over 10"DBH... ??
But now, as it is written, it's : $1000 FILU for each retention tree not meeting
requirements and $350 for each replacement tree not meeting requirements. Is this what you
meant to say? I hope not.
Fees -in -lieu -of are a slippery slope . They can be taken advantage of by developers. The FILU
provisions should be strengthened, not weakened. A thousand dollars per tree is nothing to a
developer building a million dollar house.
Please keep the FILU provisions as was originally written. Or make them more stringent.
I have other comments but really wanted to amplify Joes' concerns on the the confusing
changes to the FILO provisions.
Thank you for your service;
Bill Phipps

Subject: Tree Code - Need for Section on Semi -Annual Reporting to Council
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
April 13, 2021
Page 30
Packet Pg. 33
6.1.a
The Tree Code needs to have a Section (e.g., 23.10.120) that addresses reporting to the Council
and the public on the "effectiveness" of the Tree Code in achieving UFMP and Comp Plan goals
and objectives.
This can be constructed similar to the Council Reporting in the Critical Areas Ordinance (Section
23.40.55) which states:
"The Director will provide a report to the City Council during the 1st and 3rd quarter each
year,
summarizing " ..............
The Council can discuss what metrics it would like to see in the semi-annual reports such as
number of parcels with tree removals, affected watersheds, percentage of trees removed on
each parcel, percentage of trees replaced, amount of in -lieu fees collected, effects of removal
on tree canopy, etc.
I'm sure the Council is aware of public concerns about the continuing loss of the "green
character" of Edmonds, and this semi-annual reporting will keep the Council and the public
informed on this important issue.

Subject: Co -Signed Letter on Unforeseen Outcomes of Council Action on Tree Code
Council,
To be perfectly clear, please consider mine to be an additional signature to the following letter:
Council Members,
We, the undersigned, are very concerned about the unintended consequences and likely
outcomes of the Council adopting the Tree Code as is without addressing the inherent issues
and complications that prudent City management would necessitate. Our questions reflecting
our concerns are:
Does the Council want to allow substantially more mature trees in Edmonds to be
removed (except for those in critical areas such as along streams and in City Parks)?
Does the Council intend to ignore the "no net loss" goal in the Urban Forest
Management Plan (which the City, Council and citizens worked on for three years)?
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
April 13, 2021
Page 31
Packet Pg. 34
6.1.a
Does the Council want to allow developers the discretion of determining "feasibility' of
cutting down all the mature trees on a parcel by simply paying a fee (i.e., cost of
business)?
Does the Council want to allow developers full discretion on replacement of significant
trees (i.e., what replacement species, where they are planted, etc.)?
Does the Council want to allow sensitive watersheds, such as the Perrinville Creek
Watershed, to be further degraded by allowing excessive removal of mature trees?
Does the Council want to give full power (i.e., discretion) to Planning Department
individuals WITHOUT OVERSIGHT regarding the numerous developer exemptions?
Does the Council intend to ignore the 'best available science' on the value of large trees
and the intertwined aspects of climate change, stormwater management, residential
flooding, wildlife corridors, over -development, societal benefits of a 'green'
environment, Puget Sound view properties and inherent property values, and the likely
outcome of mismanagement of sensitive watersheds (e.g., the demise of Perrinville
Creek)?
Does this Council really want to be responsible for diminishing the "green character" of
Edmonds that so many of its citizens identify with? Isn't preserving the "green
character" the intent of the UFMP and the Tree Code?
If your answer to any of the above questions is 'No' then we hope and expect you will agree to
devote the time needed NOW to work through the tree code issues and make 'prudent
management' changes to the tree code with an eye towards what the City intended in the
UFMP.
The unforeseen consequences of approving the tree code "as is for now" are too important to
ignore. From a tree's perspective, there is only ONE CHANCE to get this right.

Dear City Council,
I have been reading the concerns of the downtown businesses who found that closing Main
Street on Saturdays is a hardship.
I agree a good compromise would be Main Street open to traffic and parking on Saturday from
8am-5pm; and Walkable Main Street could be on Saturday night from 5pm-10pm and all day
Sunday. Friday night could be added in, unless it does cause a problem due to how early people
need to move their cars.
Thank you got listening,

Subject: Public Comment for April 13, 2021 City Council Meeting
For many years, I have railed against the provision of false, misleading, inaccurate, or
incomplete information to City Council and Hearing Examiners in advance of decisions. Despite
my efforts, it continues to happen. The Planning, Public Safety and Personnel Committee
agenda for Tuesday night, April 13, 2021, provides further proof of this. Please refer to page 16
of that Agenda Packet which contains the following three falsehoods:
WHEREAS, the initial planning board terms were staggered such that two positions would
expire after each of the first four years of the planning board; and
WHEREAS, the initial terms for positions 1 and 2, for example, would have started at midnight
on January 1, 1981 and would have expired at midnight on January 1, 1982; and
WHEREAS, any other interpretation of those initial term lengths would require a conclusion
that the initial terms for position 7 and the alternate position were intended to be five year
terms, a conclusion which is not supported by any evidence and which appears contrary to the
four-year length of all subsequent terms;
The TRUTH is that the initial planning board terms were staggered such that two positions
would expire after each of years 2-5 of the planning board; and
The TRUTH is that the initial terms for positions 1 and 2 started the very first second of January
1, 1981 and expired at midnight on December 31, 1982; and
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
April 13, 2021
Page 37
Packet Pg. 40
6.1.a
The TRUTH is that the initial terms for position 7 and the alternate position were five-year
terms that started the very first second of January 1, 1981 and expired at midnight on
December 31, 1985.
The evidence and the TRUTH are easily found on Page 1 of the December 16, 1980 City Council
Meeting Minutes. I have attached Page 1 for your convenience.
Why are falsehoods presented to decision makers in advance of decisions? Is there ever any
accountability when this takes place? Will the culture within Edmonds City government that
allows this conduct ever change?
There may be further problems with what is being presented to the Planning, Public Safety and
Personnel Committee agenda for next Tuesday night's meeting. Hopefully, whoever is
responsible for preparing the agenda item and the proposed Ordinance amending Chapter
10.40 of the Edmonds City Code will be asked to correct all falsehoods and provide complete
information.
I encourage City Council to implement policies and procedures to address all steps that must be
followed when it becomes known that false, misleading, inaccurate, or incomplete information
has been provided to City Council and Hearing Examiners in advance of decisions. Please
consider whether these policies and procedures should involve disciplinary action.
Thank you.

City Council Agenda Item
Meeting Date: 04/27/2021
Civic Field - Reject All bids
Staff Lead: Phil Williams
Department: Public Works & Utilities
Preparer: Phil Williams
Background/History
Construction of the new Park at Civic Field was initially put out to bid in May, 2020, during earlier stages
of the worldwide pandemic. The city received only two bids at that time. This may have been, in part,
related to the health emergency. In addition, both contractors omitted key information in their bid
submittals and the City determined their bids to be non -responsive. The re -bid was rescheduled to 2021
and staff restructured the bid documents into a lump -sum bid solicitation rather than a line -item bid.
Additional soil testing at the park site and additional design work were also completed on the Yost Park
stormwater mitigation system. That system will assist the Civic Field project in satisfying the full impact
of installing all of the required detention.
The project was again bid in March, 2021 and bids were opened April 8th.
Staff Recommendation
Reject all bids and instruct staff to re -bid the project after necessary changes to the Request For Bids
have been made.
Narrative
The history to date suggests bidders on this project still have confusion about what is and is not required
in the bid submittal.
Both the low -bidder and the second low -bidder have written letters to the City. One tries to make the
case that their bid is responsive in spite of the missing information. The other suggests the low bid
should be rejected. Attempting to award a bid to either one seems likely to lead to a formal bid protest
and possible lawsuit from the other. Resolving these competing claims would certainly be a longer
process and require more city resources than rebidding.
For this reason, it is recommended the City again reject all bids and re -bid as quickly as possible after
making some additional changes to the bid documents that clarifies exactly what is required to be
submitted and where it should be placed. That work is ongoing now.

Meeting Date: 04/27/2021
Paid Family & Medical Leave (PFML) Policy Changes
Staff Lead: Emily Wagener
Department: Human Resources
Preparer: Emily Wagener
Background/History
The City developed a Paid Family & Medical Leave (PFML) policy in response to the WA State's voter
approved Paid Family and Medical Leave Program. The City's policy allows employees to supplement
their PFML payments with their available paid leave as long as the combined total of payments does not
to exceed 100% of the employee's gross wages. After one year of administering this program, we have
noticed that, because of how PFML calculates leave payments, this 100% maximum negatively impacts
part time and lower wage employees. This effect is that part time and lower wage employees subject to
the 100% maximum do not receive enough in supplemental payments to continue to pay their benefit
premiums while on leave.
Staff Recommendation
We ask Council to approve the included policy changes.
Narrative
Staff requests to revise the current PFML policy to allow supplementation for a combined payment
maximum of 150% for those who are not able to cover their benefit payments while on leave at the
100% maximum. This will not only increase the benefit to the employee and allow them to continue to
pay for benefits while on leave, it will reduce the City's liability and need to collect premiums from
employees either while they are on leave or after they return. The administering PFML agency does not
identify a maximum employers can pay in supplemental wages only that they are categorized as
supplemental wages instead of regular wages.
Also included are general verbiage changes to clarify the policy with regards to maximum state benefits
and how HR calculates supplemental leave.
Please see the attached PFML Policy document with proposed changes in redline.

Appendix E
Washington State Paid Family & Medical Leave
Overview
Paid Family and Medical Leave is a mandatory statewide insurance program that will provide almost
every Washington employee with paid time off to give or receive care. If you qualify, this program will
allow you to take up to 12 weeks, as needed, if you:
• Welcome a child into your family (through birth, adoption or foster placement)
• Experience a serious illness or injury
• Need to care for a seriously ill or injured relative
• Need time to prepare for a family member's pre- and post -deployment activities, as well as time for
N
childcare issues related to a family member's military deployment. For specifics on military -connected
paid leave, visit www.dol.gov/whd/regs/compliance/whdfs28mc.pdf
z
U
v
If you face multiple events in a year, you might be eligible to receive up to 16 weeks, and up to 18 weeks o
if you experience a serious health condition during pregnancy that results in incapacity. a-
J
Payment of Premiums a
This program is funded by premiums paid by both the employee and employer. It is administered by the
state Employment Security Department.
Premium amounts for both the medical and family coverage are set by the state. Premium costs may be
shared between employer and employee but employers must pay a minimum of 33% of the total premium
for both family and medical coverage. Premium sharing for represented employees will be as agreed to
in their respective collective bargaining agreements. Premium cost sharing for non -represented
employees will be recommended by the Mayor as part of the annual budget process.
Any employee portion of the premiums will be deducted from the employee's paycheck on each pay
cycle. Supplemental wages as defined in this policy are not subject to premiums.
Applying for benefits
Starting January 1, 2020, employees who have worked 820 hours in the qualifying period (equal to 16
hours a week for a year) will be able to apply to take paid medical leave or paid family leave. The 820
hours are cumulative, regardless of the number of employers or jobs someone has during a year. All paid
work over the course of the year counts toward the 820 hours, including part-time, seasonal and
temporary work. While on leave, you are entitled to partial wage replacement. That means you will
receive a portion of your average weekly pay. The benefit is generally up to 90 percent of your weekly
wage, with a minimum of $100 per week and a maximum of $1,000 per week in 2020. Future maximum
benefits will be adiusted by the commissioner annuallv by September 30t" to be effective the followina
January 111. You will be paid by and must apply for benefits through the Employment Security Department
rather than by the City. For information on applying for benefits please go to paidleave.wa.gov.
Supplementing Washington Paid Family & Medical Leave with other accrued leave
The City allows the supplementing of paid leave with an employee's available accrued leave. Employees
who choose to supplement their paid family or medical leave payments must first use sick leave and then
may use other accrued leave once sick leave is exhausted.
Packet Pg. 97
7.1.a
HR will calculate the Employee's supplemental benefit amount by using the WA PFML online calculator. If
the employee disagrees with the calculation, they can provide their official benefit application approval
notice from the Employment Security Department for recalculation.
Employees may not normally use supplemental benefits to receive more than 100% of their gross regular
compensation (PFML benefit plus supplemental benefit). However, if an employee's calculated
supplemental benefit amount does not fully cover their regular pay -period deductions (such as medical,
dental, vision, FSA, etc.) the employee may use additional supplemental benefits, not to exceed 150% of
their gross regular compensation (PFML benefit plus supplemental benefit).
Employees must follow normal payroll procedures in order to use accrued leave as supplemental leave
while on Paid Family & Medical Leave.
Coordination with Shared Leave
Employees who wish to receive shared leave must also apply for paid family & medical leave benefits
through Employment Security. If approved for shared leave, the amount of leave awarded will be based
en the appreved payments from empleyment seGUFity Se that the empleyee will net FeGeiVe greater than
100 „f their regular GE)r~,peRsatiGR. calculated the same as if an employee used their own accrued leave
t
to supplement. V
Leave Protections o
a
Employees who return from leave under this law will be restored to a same or equivalent job if they meet 2
the following requirements: 1
a
• have worked for the City for at least 12 months, and
• have worked 1,250 hours in the 12 months before taking leave (about 24 hours per week, on
average).
You may remain on your City provided health insurance while on leave. If you contribute to the cost of
your health insurance you will continue to be responsible for that portion. The City will pay the full
premium for your health coverage while on you are on leave and you will be required to make
arrangements to repay this when you return to work. Should you fail to return to work, any amount paid
for your health care premiums on your behalf by the City will be deducted from your final paycheck.
No Discrimination or Retaliation
The City of Edmonds is prohibited from discriminating or retaliating against you for requesting or taking
paid leave under this law.

April 20th, 2021
Item Description:
The Street Department is requesting the funds to purchase a "mini excavator." A mini would provide our
sidewalk crew the ability to efficiently and safely demo and prep the job sites for a sidewlk pour. A large
portion of the crew's efforts are in doing this site preparation, often with a backhoe that is too large for the
site or by manually doing the work by hand. A mini fits into a parking stall or onto a sidewalk that is being
removed creating a job site compressed enough to not require traffic controls/flaggers thus reducing the
required manpower to accomplish the job. A mini is typically the first piece of equipmnet on a sidewalk
project and is almost always the last to leave. The purchase of a mini will allow for the sidewalk crew to be
more efficientproductive and safe.

City Council Agenda Item
Meeting Date: 04/27/2021
Code Amendment to Realign Planning Board Appointment Schedule
Staff Lead: Jeff Taraday
Department: Planning Division
Preparer: Rob Chave
Background/History
Under Chapter 10.40 EMC, an appointment schedule was established for the Planning Board, including
four-year terms for the seven members and alternate on a staggered basis, so that the term dates did
not require new appointments all at once.
Over the years, the actual timing of some appointments has gotten out of synch with the original
schedule. This may have resulted from off -schedule resignations and confusion about the remaining
terms for persons filling the vacant positions.
At the City Council's PSPP Committee meeting on April 13, the committee members reviewed the
proposal (Exhibit 1) and determined to place it on the Council agenda for further consideration.
Staff Recommendation
Discuss and adopt one of the proposed ordinance alternatives.
Narrative
Because the original (circa 1980) appointment schedule had gotten off track over the subsequent years,
staff is proposing to amend the code to correct the current problem and implement the code's original
intent. The Council's PSPP Committee reviewed an initial ordinance effecting this change. However,
there are at least two ways of fixing the problem and Staff has included the original ordinance reviewed
by the PSPP (Exhibit 1) as well as a second alternative (Exhibit 2).
Both amendment alternatives preserve key objectives behind the Planning Board schedule (a logical
order that has four-year terms provided on a staggered basis), and phase in a schedule for two positions
to be appointed or reappointed per year. In addition, none of the terms would need to be extended to
five years. The new alternative ordinance (Exhibit 2) maintains terms closer to the schedule originally
adopted by the Council in 1980, with one-year terms used to get the positions back on schedule.

WHEREAS, the original planning board appointments are reflected in the city council
meeting minutes of December 16, 1980; and

have through error or misunderstanding deviated from the design intended by Ordinance 2170,

alternate), only positions 5, 6, and 7 have expiration dates that would be consistent with the
original appointments; and
WHEREAS, the city council would like to move toward returning to the originally
intended staggered expiration of two terms per year; and
WHEREAS, there may be more than one way to accomplish that objective; and
WHEREAS, conforming all positions to expiration dates that would be consistent with
the December 16, 1980 original appointments would create five-year terms for positions 2, 3,
and 4; and

the originally intended two per year expiration; and

staggered state; and

WHEREAS, at the time of this ordinance, position 5 is vacant due to expiration of term;

Parks, Recreation & Open Space (PROS) Plan Update Consultant Agreement
Staff Lead: Angie Feser
Department: Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services
Preparer: Angie Feser
Background/History
The Parks, Recreation and Open Space (PROS) plan is a guiding master plan for operating, managing
and enhancing the Edmonds's parks, open space, trails, recreation facilities and recreation programs as
based on community engagement representative of the entire city. The PROS plan is a policy strategy
guide providing goals and objectives, recommended initiatives and capital projects, and prioritization
methods built on public process and also serves as a communication tool. With the City's long history,
there are numerous PROS plans, with the most recent versions in 2008, 2014 and a simple update in 2016.
Edmonds is due for a comprehensive update to reflect community changes sincethe previous plan
adoption. This plan update will focus on assessing the equitable geographic distribution and capital
investments in parks, recreation, and cultural arts facilities and as well as programs for all community
members.
The PROS plan must be updated every six years to remain eligible for state and federal funding. Due to
the State's two-year granting cycle, if this plan is not completed by the February 28, 2022 deadline, the
city will not be eligible to receive any park related state or federal grants until 2025.
The proposed agreement and related scope of work include the basic components to update the
existing PROS Plan:
1. Project initiation and management
2. Existing conditions and baseline analyses (review of existing plans and studies; demographics;
trends and profile; base mapping and spatial analysis; and park inventory and site
assessments).
3. Community engagement (public involvement plan; Parks & Planning Board sessions; random -
sample, statistically valid survey; community -wide online survey; virtual public meetings;
stakeholder interviews and forums; meeting in a box; social media content; and pop-up
meetings).
4. Community needs assessment (level of service assessment; recreation assessment and gap
analysis).
5. Preliminary PROS Plan (Capital Facilities Plan, administrative draft plan, SEPA checklist)
6. Review and approvals (Parks & Planning Board review, council review/approval, final
document)
In addition, and relatively unique to a traditional PROS Plan, there are additional services to provide
Packet Pg. 154
7.5
robust, multi -faceted Public Involvement Plan (PIP) to reach Edmond's traditionally under -served
community members who use languages other than English and people who have lower incomes.
Utilizing this approach both with the PROS Plan, combined with and overlapping outreach efforts for
the Highway 99 Renewal Plan, will create and develop working relationships that will build a
foundation with these communities located on the eastern portion of the City of Edmonds, who can be
underrepresented in city planning efforts.
Public Involvement Plan Services
The additional efforts to reach our Spanish, Korean and Chinese speaking population in meaningful
ways, requires translation of the statistically -valid survey, communications materials (handouts,
emails, etc.) meeting materials and on -site translators. Working with the Human Services Program
Manager, staff and a City Partnership Committee sourced from Community Based Organizations (CBO),
these outreach services will include:
1. On-line survey translated to three languages
2. Coordination with the Highway 99 Renewal Plan
3. Virtual Public Meeting live interpretation (2)
4. Drafting of email communications translated in three languages
5. "Meeting in a Box' - development of and training for a set of tools for city staff and the City
Partnership Committee members to engage business owners and residents on -site,
community -oriented in person meetings
6. Preparation of a social media toolkit with text and graphics in three additional languages
7. Multi-lingual staff member for pop-up event and related translated materials/display boards
The City Council approved the PROS Plan Update during the 2021 budget process. The basic work to
update the existing plan and the diversity, equity, and inclusion services necessary to equitably reach
and engage the entire population of Edmonds is $143,396 (base services plus one additional option of
virtual public meeting interpretation for two meetings).
The Professional Service Agreement with Scope of Work and Fees is attached.
Staff Recommendation
Staff is recommending the City Council authorize the Mayor to enter a Professional Services Contract
with Conservation Technix for the sum of $143,396 to provide consultant services to update the City's
2022 Parks, Recreation & Open Space Plan.
Narrative
Consultant Selection
A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) was issued with three qualifying consultants submitting by the
March 15, 2021 deadline. A team of staff members from Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services and
Development Services departments evaluated on the criteria of project understanding and approach;
demonstrated experience and expertise on similar projects; qualifications of key personnel and the
project team; successful past performance managing public process and communications and
technical capability; and overall quality of content and responsiveness to RFQ requirements. The firm,
Conservation Technix, was selected as most qualified.
The RFQ's project scope was developed with review and input from five city advisory groups to reflect
community priorities and interests on the focus of the planning work. A presentation included an
Packet Pg. 155
7.5
overview of the purpose of a PROS Plan, summary of existing plan components including goals and
objectives and then solicited feedback to incorporate in the RFQ requirements. The groups included
Mayor's Conservation Advisory Committee (January 14t"), Parks & Planning Board (January 27tn)
Edmonds Arts Commission (February 1"), Youth Commission (February 3rd) and Diversity Commission
(February 3rd). One priority was centered around equity and social justice as it related to involvement
with the PROS Plan development and how Edmonds under -served population should be included. (See
attachment "2022 PROS Plan Focus Recommendation Summary" for more detail).

City Council Agenda Item
Meeting Date: 04/27/2021
Findings of Fact to Support adoption of Ordinance 4217 Regarding Prohibition of Removal of Landmark
Trees
Staff Lead: Kernen Lien
Department: Planning Division
Preparer: Kernen Lien
Background/History
The City Council adopted Emergency Ordinance No. 4217 at the March 2, 2021 Council meeting. In
accordance with RCW 36.70A.390 and RCW 35A.63.220, the City Council is held a public hearing on
Ordinance No. 4217 at the April 20, 2021 council meeting.
Staff Recommendation
Adopt the findings of fact to support the adoption of Ordinance No. 4217 as provided in the attached
resolution.
Narrative
The City Council has been reviewing new tree -related regulations throughout the first quarter of 2021.
The primary focus of the updated tree regulations is retaining trees when a property is being developed
or redeveloped. During review of these regulations the City Council expressed a desire to broaden tree
regulations to apply to all properties, not just properties that are being developed. The City is beginning
a Stage 2 of tree regulations update that will apply to all properties, not just those that are being
developed. Ordinance No. 4217 was adopted as a 6-month ordinance to protect larger trees while the
City develops the next stage of tree regulations.
Ordinance No. 4217 applies to all properties within the City of Edmonds. The City Council wanted to
protect the largest trees while additional regulations are being developed. As such, this ordinance
applies to "landmark trees" which, for the purposes of Ordinance No. 4217, is defined as any tree with a
diameter at breast height (DBH) of twenty-four inches or more. The ordinance allows landmark trees to
be removed if they are documented to be hazard or nuisance trees or if tree removal is approved with
and permitted through a building permit, subdivision, or other land use approval.
Section 5 of the ordinance provides:
Pursuant to RCW 36.70A.390 and RCW 35A.63.220, the City Council shall hold a public hearing on
this interim regulation within sixty (60) days of its adoption. In this case, the hearing shall be held on
April 20, 2021 unless the City Council, by subsequently adopted resolution, provides for a different
hearing date. No later than the next regular Council meeting immediately following the hearing, the
City Council shall adopt findings of fact on the subject of this interim regulations and either justify its
continued imposition or cancel the interim regulations.
Packet Pg. 174
7.6
A public hearing was held on April 201h after which a majority of the Council directed the city attorney to
prepared findings of fact to continue the imposition of the interim regulations in Ordinance 4217. The
attached resolution provides the findings of fact for the continuation of this ordinance.

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS, WASHINGTON, HEREBY Cn
RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
a�
Section 1. ADOPTION OF FINDINGS. The city council hereby adopts as its findings of fact to 13
support the adoption and continuing effectiveness of Ordinances 4217 the Whereas clauses U_
contained in Ordinances 4217 as well as the following supplemental findings: c
A. It takes a long time for a tree to grow from its planted size to a size of twenty-four inch
DBH or larger.
B. The permanent landmark tree regulations to be adopted later this year may allow for
some removal of landmark trees in certain circumstances where removal is deemed
appropriate.
C. Careful thought and deliberation should be given to the crafting of those permanent
landmark tree regulations to ensure that any future removal of landmark trees is not
harmful to the public, health, safety, and welfare or that such harm is offset by other
competing societal values and benefits.
D. Extending the effectiveness of Ordinance 4217 for roughly another four months until
September 2, 2021 is reasonable considering how long it would take to replace landmark
trees that may be cut without sufficient justification if the ordinance were to be repealed
now.

Section 2. CONTINUANCE OF MORATORIUM. In light of the findings of fact adopted in
Section 1, above, the effectiveness of Ordinance 4217 shall continue and not terminate until

Section 7. Declaration of Emergency_. The City Council hereby declares that an
emergency exists necessitating that this Ordinance take effect immediately upon passage by a
majority vote plus one of the whole membership of the Council, and that the same is not subject
to a referendum. Without the immediate adoption of these interim regulations, the City faces the
possible removal of landmark trees. Therefore, the interim regulation must be imposed as an

of landmark trees. This Ordinance does not affect any existing vested rights.
Section 8. Publication. This Ordinance shall be published by an approved summary
consisting of the title.
Section 9. Effective Date, This Ordinance shall take effect and be in full force and
effect immediately upon passage, as set forth herein, as long as it is approved by a majority plus

canopy around the trees which he assumed was relative to the DBH size, but he doubted they actually
measured the tree crown diameter. Surveyed locations of tree are not always required and he assumed the
tree canopy diameter would be estimated.
Councilmember Distelhorst relayed his understanding that it would be a best guess rather than a
measurement. Mr. Lien displayed a site plan that illustrate tree locations with the DBH with some sort of
canopy around it. He pointed out a 40" tree and the canopy, a smaller tree with a smaller canopy, an 18"
tree with a slightly bigger canopy, and a grove of trees and their canopy. Site plans typically show a
canopy but he assumed it was an estimate rather than measured.
Councilmember Distelhorst observed that would be acceptable under Council President Paine's
amendment. Mr. Lien said he would expect to see that but rather than estimated crown diameters it would
be a little related to what was actual on the ground.
COUNCILMEMBER OLSON MOVED TO ADD "ESTIMATED" PRIOR TO "TREE CROWN
DIAMETER." COUNCIL PRESIDENT PAINE ACCEPTED THAT AS A FRIENDLY
AMENDMENT.
Councilmember K. Johnson said she will vote against the amendment for the simple reason that the tree a
crown for conifers is insignificant compared to the drip line which show the broadest part of the tree.
Confers' more global shape is equivalent to the crown line of tree. She viewed this as an added step that -W
developers did not need to provide as the current regulations were adequate. For trees more closely a
associated, the site plan illustrates protection for groups of trees. Q-

9. NEW BUSINESS
ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING EMERGENCY INTERIM REGULATIONS RELATED
TO LANDMARK TREES
Development Services Director Shane Hope explained the packet contains an emergency interim
ordinance for six months that can be revisited prior to six months. The intent of the ordinance is to apply
not only to development but apply broadly to all private properties and prohibit the removal of trees
greater than 24" diameter at breast height (DBH) during the interim period unless they are hazardous. The
intent of the ordinance, proposed by Council President Paine and Councilmember L. Johnson and
supported by Mayor Nelson, was to recognize the Council intends to revisit private property tree
regulations. As that will take several months to complete, the emergency interim ordinance will preclude
cutting of those trees during the interim period.
Ms. Hope explained the ordinance also sets a public hearing date of April 20, 2021 to discuss continuing
or changing the ordinance. If approved by a super majority, the ordinance could go into effect

7.6.c
immediately upon adoption. She referenced Section 3 Prohibition, which states, "For as long as this
ordinance remains in effect, it shall be unlawful to direct any act of tree removal toward a landmark tree."
A landmark tree is defined as 24" DBH unless it meets the definition of a hazard tree or nuisance tree.
Councilmember K. Johnson asked how the ordinance will be enforced. She recalled driving down the
street recently and seeing that a row of trees had been removed from the backyard of a house and asked
how that will be prevented. Ms. Hope agreed that was the most challenging issue with this prohibition. If
a tree code is adopted in the future that applies to all properties, it will also raise issues related to review
criteria, enforcement, etc. and will require extra resources. There are definitely fewer 24" DBH trees so it
will not necessarily affect all the properties in the City. Enforcement would be via seeing it or someone
reporting it. If the emergency interim ordinance is adopted, the City will try to get the word out but
violators could be subject to penalties.
Councilmember K. Johnson said she often hears chainsaws in her neighborhood and trees greater than 24"
DBH being topped or cut down. She pointed out once you hear a chainsaw, it is too late as the tree is
already being cut down and they usually start at the top and work their way down unless they are logging
it for the wood. She suggested once this is adopted, sending a notification to the major tree companies so
they know not to cut those trees in Edmonds without permission.
Council President Paine said she was glad to have this emergency interim ordinance drafted that protects
and preserves landmark trees which are the biggest. She was hopeful it would maintain the status quo and
allow the subdivision tree code to be completed as well as put together the resources and planning for an
0.
effective urban forestry program, look at canopy data through the canopy study and develop a thoughtful
3
tree code via an extensive public process like was done in 2015. The ordinance will provide that time and
0
prevents impacts on the tree canopy. A lot of the tree canopy has been removed in the last couple years
and it would be a shame to lose more. The ordinance will provide time for a more thoughtful tree code
that covers all properties.
c
Councilmember Buckshnis said she was excited about this, but it should not use a definition that is not in
ii
the code; she suggested rather than "landmark tree," using "significant tree", and instead of 24" DBH,
°-
using 12" DBH because a 12" DBH is 60 years old. She agreed with Councilmember K. Johnson's
concerns and referred to an application for tree and vegetation removal that the applicant applied for after
w
the fact to remove 2 hazard trees and 11 additional trees. She emphasized tree are being cut down and she
preferred to err on the side of caution and use language already in the code. She concluded this is a great
step and she applaud the Council for taking it.
Councilmember L. Johnson thanked the Administration for hearing their concerns and for working with
them to put this together. At the bare minimum, this will protect old growth trees that could never be
replaced and grown to the size they are in our lifetime. This is the minimum that can be done; it is really
important and should have been done a while ago to protect those trees.
Councilmember Distelhorst thanked Mayor Nelson, Council President Paine, Councilmember L. Johnson
and the Administration for their work on this. He appreciate the landmark tree and the focus on the 24"
DBH. He feared going down to 12" DBH would be more difficult and may be too broad a focus for an
emergency ordinance. As with the moratorium, his preference is not to legislate via emergence ordinance
and moratorium in general. He hoped having this in place for six months provided the time necessary for
public outreach and a process by the Administration and whatever resources the Administration needed to
complete that work and to work with residents to have a fuller code and ensure the Council did not
continue to legislate via emergency ordinance and moratorium.

Councilmember Olson said her concern with things that arise on short order is the unanticipated
consequences. She asked if this would apply to someone doing a renovation on their property or was that
covered in another way related to the development aspect. She asked if there could be an exception or
caveat that would allow a Council hearing for a tree that someone feels they need to address in the six
month period and would provide some flexibility for things that may arise that the Council is not thinking
about right now. Ms. Hope said the ordinance does not cover trees going through a permitted
development process because that has different requirements. This is related to other areas where people
are choosing to cut trees for various reasons. As written, the ordinance would apply to roughly 90% of
properties in the City.
Mr. Lien clarified it would not impact trees being removed with a reviewed development. This ordinance
does not apply to any tree removal associated with a permit through a building permit, subdivision or
other land use approval. It is intended to preserve large trees on developed single family properties while
the other regulations are being developed. He concluded trees reviewed with a development proposal
could still be removed.
Council President Paine said she asked similar questions of Ms. Hope regarding a smaller tree diameter. a
The challenge is there is not enough code enforcement as well as seeking a balance between preserving 13
large trees and hoping to have good compliance with the understanding the City is seeking greater tree a
canopy and the ability to monitor it. She had inquired about 12" or 16" DBH and was convinced the 24" m
DBH during the interim period would be more successful and not overstrain resources. r-

a
Councilmember Buckshnis relayed her understanding that trees associated with a permit for a short plat or 3
subdivision could be removed because the moratorium ends March 10'. She expressed interest in c
extending the moratorium because she was uncertain the code would be approved by March 10'. She
concluded if a developer submitted a permit for a subdivision for a property with a lot of trees, they could
be removed regardless of size after March 1 Ot' when the moratorium expires. Mayor Nelson said the issue
before the Council is the emergency interim ordinance, not the emergency moratorium. S
Councilmember Buckshnis pointed out Mr. Lien's statement that this ordinance would not apply to tree
removed as part of a subdivision. She asked whether subdivisions should be included in this emergency
ordinance since the moratorium ends March 10'. Mr. Lien answered the thought was that the regulations
that the Council reviewed in the previous agenda item would be adopted; the new Section 23.10
referenced in the emergency ordinance has regulations that preserve trees with development. If that
regulation is not adopted by the time the moratorium expires (Ordinances 4200 and 4201), the regulations
would revert to the current tree code. This ordinance may need to be amended if it is adopted prior to the
other ordinance because it specifically references Section 23.10.
City Attorney Jeff Taraday explained when the emergency interim ordinance was drafted, it was assumed
the tree code would already be adopted and this would be next. Realizing the Council potentially wants to
make more amendments to the tree, he proposed adopting the tree code tonight with the amendments that
were made and come back next week and continue to make amendments. The result would be instead of
making amendments to a draft code, the Council would be amending an already adopted code. That
would address the concern about the moratorium expiring. He believed if the Council waited until next
week, the moratorium would be expired at the time of next week's Council meeting.
Council President Paine said as she understands the emergency moratorium, when the conservation
subdivision code is adopted, the moratorium will expire. Ms. Hope answered yes, the way it is currently
written. Mr. Taraday said there is a repealer section in Section 4 of the tree code ordinance that expressly
repeals the tree moratorium because the new tree code goes into effect. An argument can be made [Mr.
Taraday discontinued participation in the virtual meeting].

COUNCILMEMBER L. JOHNSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER
BUCKSHNIS, TO EXTEND FOR 15 MINUTES. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Councilmember Buckshnis said Mr. Taraday and she have been discussing the fact that approving the tree
code repeals Ordinances 4200 and 4201, the moratorium on subdivisions and short plats. If the Council
approves the tree code as Mr. Taraday suggested, she has more amendments that she feels would solidify
the tree code. She was leery of approving the tree code tonight.
Ms. Hope said the tree ordinance in the packet specifically repeals the moratorium which otherwise would
expire March 10'. If the Council adopts tree regulations as amended, and comes back next week to make
further amendments, that may be preferable to extending or creating a new moratorium.
Mr. Taraday said there is language in Ordinance 4200 that tries to avoid this situation from occurring by
stating something like the ordinance will not be presumed to have been repealed or expired but the
Council will do that by ordinance. He was uncertain that language had been tested in court; it was
included as a potential safety net. He would prefer not to rely on that language and would rather the
Council not accidentally allow the moratorium to expire.
Ms. Hope said by adopting the proposed tree regulations with the amendments approved tonight, the
moratorium would be ended, but next week Council could consider making additional amendments to the
adopted tree code. That would prevent the unintended expiration of the moratorium expiring or creating a
new moratorium on the fly. Mr. Taraday agreed.
Councilmember K. Johnson said the Council has gotten off subject. The issue before the Council is the
emergency ordinance and the Council should make a decision on that before deciding on other things.
Councilmember Buckshnis explained if the Council approves this emergency ordinance tonight, it refers
to definitions in the tree code which haven't been approved. If the Council approves the tree code, it
removes the moratorium. She asked if the Council could approve the tree code and remove Section 4. Mr.
Taraday said Section 4 of the tree code ordinance could be removed. He did not want to represent to the
Council that the moratorium was bulletproof and remained in effect by virtue of removing Section 4
because Ordinance 4200 specifically states it is a 4 month moratorium and the 4 months expire on March

COUNCIL PRESIDENT PAINE MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER OLSON, TO
MOVE FORWARD WITH THE INTERIM EMERGENCY TREE ORDINANCE FOR
LANDMARK TREES AND MOVE BACK TO DISCUSSING THE CONSERVATION
SUBDIVISION CODE WITH THE AMENDMENTS MADE SO FAR AND COME BACK NEXT
WEEK.
Councilmember Distelhorst relayed his understanding that the emergency ordinance references code that
does not yet exist until the Council adopts the tree ordinance which is why the tree ordnance needs to be
adopted first. Mr. Taraday said the ordinances certainly were not intended to be adopted in the order that
is currently being considered but a few minutes' difference would not be a problem.
Councilmember Olson suggested an option would be holding an emergency meeting on Friday afternoon
to discuss the remaining tree code amendments and the existing moratorium issue. Mayor Nelson said he
was not available on Friday. Councilmember Olson said the Council could have a meeting without the
Mayor. Councilmember Fraley-Monillas said she also was not available.

REGULATIONS, NEW CONSERVATION SUBDIVISION DESIGN REGULATIONS, AND
ESTABLISHING A NEW TREE FUND.
Councilmember Buckshnis said she was leery of doing this when it was not complete. There have been
examples in the past where there has been an attempt to bring ordinances forward and the minority could
not get it done. She hoped there was a promise that additional amendments could be considered, noting
she has about nine more amendments.
COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT PAINE,
TO AMEND BY REMOVING SECTION 4, "ORDINANCES 4200 (MORATORIUM) AND 4201
(ASSOCIATED INTERIM REGULATIONS) ARE HEREBY REPEALED."
Councilmember Buckshnis hoped the Council would spend quality time to consider all the amendments
and address the moratorium next week or when it expires. She felt it was premature to have Section 4 in
the ordinance.
As City Clerk Passey began to take a roll call vote (Councilmember K. Johnson abstained and
Councilmember Distelhorst voted no), Councilmember Olson raised a point of order that the original
moratorium stated the moratorium would expire when the tree code was passed or when it expired,
whichever came first. Ms. Hope recalled it stated a 4-month period which would be March 10' unless
Council acted to repeal it sooner. Mr. Taraday read from the ordinance, "The moratorium imposed by this
ordinance shall commence on the date of adoption of this ordinance. The moratorium shall not terminate
until four months after the date of adoption unless it is repealed sooner. The Council shall make the
decision to terminate the moratorium by ordinance and termination shall not otherwise be presumed to
have to occurred." He explained that is the language he referred to earlier as untested. He suggested if the
Council's intent is not to have the moratorium repealed right away, amending Section 4 to read, "The
effectiveness of Ordinance 4200 shall be extended to March 24, 2021" which would give the Council two
more weeks to resolve anything outstanding in the tree code.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas agreed with waiting two weeks, anticipating at 10:14 p.m., the Council
could be meeting half the night trying to make all the amendments.

Mayor Nelson reported today the President and Governor announced additions to those eligible for
immediate access to the vaccine - school educators and licensed childcare workers. As more people
become eligible, hopeful the availability of vaccines will also increase. The numbers in Snohomish
County continue to drop, yesterday's report was 109 cases/100,000 (previously 119/100,000). That is still
not enough fast enough so he encouraged the public to continue wearing masks, washing hands, and
watching their distance.

City Council Agenda Item
Meeting Date: 04/27/2021
Introduction Regarding Private Code Amendment to ECDC Section 20.75.045.13, entitled Unit Lot
Subdivision - Applicability
Staff Lead: Mike Clugston, Planning
Department: Planning Division
Preparer: Michael Clugston
Background/History
A private developer, represented by Citizen Design Collaborative, has proposed to add the Downtown
Business zones to the areas in Edmonds where the unit lot subdivision process can be used (File
AMD2020-0003). Unit lot subdivisions are currently only allowed in the General Commercial, Multiple
Residential, and Westgate Mixed Use zones. While this change would apply to all the Downtown
Business (BD) subdistricts, Citizen Design would like to use the process at the site of their proposed 14-
unit townhome project at 614/616 51" Avenue South, which is currently under review by the
Architectural Design Board.
Staff Recommendation
Listen to the introduction, ask questions, and schedule a public hearing on the proposed amendment.
Narrative
The unit lot subdivision (ULS) process was adopted in 2017 to provide opportunities for dividing fee
simple ownership of land to create townhouses, rowhouses and similar fee -owned dwelling units as an
alternative to both condominium ownership and traditional single-family detached subdivision. A ULS
does not permit uses or densities that are not otherwise allowed in the zoning district in which the
subdivision is proposed. Each project where a unit lot subdivision is used is first reviewed and approved
to verify compliance with all applicable building, fire, public works, and zoning codes. The ULS then
follows and inserts property lines between dwelling units, typically along shared walls and enclosing a
small private yard.
Because the requested code amendment is a Type V legislative decision, the Planning Board reviewed
the change in accordance with ECDC 20.80.020.
When staff introduced the applicant's BD -zone proposal to the Planning Board on February 10, 2021, it
included an additional option for discussion. While the applicant's proposal would allow the unit lot
process to be used in one additional zone, it seemed reasonable to further broaden the applicability to
include any zone where multifamily residential is allowed on the ground floor. For example, ground
floor multifamily is also allowed in the Office -Residential and Firdale Village Mixed Use zones. Rather
than listing specific zones where the unit lot process may be used, it would be more efficient to broaden
the definition to include all zones where ground floor multifamily is allowed rather than wait for
Packet Pg. 191
7.7
additional code amendments that might arise in the future. The Planning Board moved both options to
public hearing but initially indicated a preference for the broader language.
At the public hearing on March 24, 2021, staff provided a map showing the existing zones where the ULS
process is allowed, the proposed zones where ULS would be allowed if the code amendment is adopted,
and the location of the five (5) unit lot projects that have received approval or are currently under
review. The Board took testimony and discussed both options but had some concerns about whether
there was a difference in the quality of construction between buildings built for condominiums versus
those built for unit lot subdivision. It was ultimately determined that buildings in both types of
ownership must meet adopted building codes and the Planning Board recommended the applicant's BD -
only amendment to Council.

20.75.045 Unit lot subdivision.
A. Purpose. The unit lot subdivision process provides opportunities for dividing fee simple
ownership of land to create townhouses, rowhouses and similar fee -owned dwelling units as an
alternative to both condominium ownership and traditional single-family detached subdivision.
Unit lot subdivisions determine compliance with the relevant dimensional standards of ECDC
Title 16 by analyzing whether the parent lot complies, but not requiring that each newly
created lot within the unit lot subdivision (the unit lot) complies, with those dimensional
standards. A unit lot subdivision does not permit uses or densities that are not otherwise
allowed in the zoning district in which the unit lot subdivision is proposed.
B. Applicability. The provisions of this section apply exclusively to the subdivision of land for
single-family dwelling units, townhouses, and rowhouses and may be applied only in the
following zones: multiple residential, downtown business, general commercial, and Westgate
mixed -use. A single lot within a unit lot subdivision may contain multiple dwelling units when
the unit lot contains all such dwelling units within one building. Flats are permitted as an
element of a unit lot subdivision only when a single lot within a unit lot subdivision contains the
entire building in which flats are located.
C. Association with Site Development — Application Timing. In the case of a vacant lot or a
redevelopment site, a preliminary unit lot subdivision can only be submitted in conjunction
with or preceding a development site plan as required by Chapter 20.10, 20.11, or 20.12 ECDC,
or in the case described in ECDC 2O.1O.O2O(B)(3) submitted in conjunction with or preceding a
building permit. For existing developed sites, a preliminary unit lot subdivision application may
be submitted at any time. If the subdivision involves creating unit lot lines within common
walls, a building permit application is required in order to verify that the walls meet the
separation requirements in effect at the time of the subdivision application.
D. Conformance with Standards of the Parent Lot. The parent lot must comply with and is
vested to the applicable development standards (ECDC 2O.75.O3O(E)) in effect at the time a
complete application for preliminary unit lot subdivision is submitted. As a result of the unit lot
subdivision, the individual unit lots within the subdivision may be nonconforming with respect
to the bulk and dimensional standards required by ECDC Title 16.
As with dimensional standards, compliance with access standards, including but not limited to
fire lanes, drive aisles, turnarounds, and access of/to the parent lot from/to the street will be
evaluated based on the parent lot's compliance with such requirements, and not based on
whether individual unit lots meet such standards.
E. Future Additions and Modifications. Subsequent platting actions, additions or modifications a
to the structure(s) may not create or increase any nonconformity of the parcel lot. Changes
requiring permitting that affect only the interior of building units will be evaluated for
compliance with the requirements only for that unit. Any exterior changes will be evaluated for x
compliance by considering whether the parent lot would still comply with applicable w
development standards. Any application for such external changes will require authorization of

all owners of affected unit lots or approval of the HOA where changes to commonly owned
tracts are proposed.
F. Homeowners' Association Ownership of Common Areas. Any commonly used areas or
facilities within a unit lot subdivision, including but not limited to common access, garage or
parking areas, common open space or recreation space, common courtyards, commonly used
stormwater facilities or side sewers and other similar features, must be owned and maintained
by a homeowners' association with the right to assess the individual unit lot owners as
necessary to properly maintain and repair such areas. Appropriate documentation regarding
the rights of the homeowners' association must be submitted for recording with the final plat.
G. Maintenance Agreements for Building Exteriors. Maintenance agreements must be executed
and recorded as an element of the final unit subdivision plat or short plat for maintenance of all
building exteriors except in cases where all dwelling units are detached. The maintenance
agreement must require equal participation by all owners within any one building and must be
recorded on the final unit lot plat. The requirement does not apply to detached single-family
dwelling units. Common wall construction must meet currently adopted building codes.
H. Parking on Different Unit Lots Allowed. Within the parent lot, required parking for a dwelling
unit may be provided on a different unit lot than the lot with the dwelling unit as long as the
right to use that parking is formalized by an easement on the final plat.
I. Notice of Unit Lot on the Final Plat. The fact that the unit lot is not a separate buildable lot
and that additional development of the individual unit lots may be limited as a result of the
application of development standards to the parent lot must be noted on the final plat.
J. An application for final unit lot plat will not be accepted until all foundations, including
common wall foundations, are installed and located on the face of the final plat by the land
surveyor of record.
K. Review. Unit lot subdivisions of four or fewer lots are processed and reviewed as short
subdivisions while five or more lots are formal subdivisions pursuant to Chapter 20.01 ECDC
and the requirements of this chapter. [Ord. 4173 § 1 (Att. A), 2020; Ord. 4154 § 4 (Att. C), 2019;

REVIEW OF INTERIM ZONING ORDINANCE (#4210) AMENDNG EDMONDS COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT CODE (ECDC) 17.75, ENTITLED "OUTDOOR DINING," AND A RELATED SECTION IN
ECDC 17.70
Mr. Chave reviewed that the City Council adopted Ordinance 4210 on December 15, 2020, as an interim ordinance. The
main affect was to change the Outdoor Dining Permit from what had been a Conditional Use Permit (CUP), which required a
hearing by the Hearing Examiner and a lengthy review process, to an Administrative Approval that could be done by staff.
Because Ordinance 4210 is an interim ordinance that expires after six months, the Board is being asked to review it and
provide a recommendation about whether it should be adopted for a longer period of time or permanently.
Chair Rosen asked Mr. Chave to articulate between the "Outdoor Dining" use that is the subject of the interim ordinance and
"Streeteries." Mr. Chave explained that a variety of activities are allowed within the rights -of -way, but streeteries are a new
type of use that came about during the pandemic. They are basically the temporary use of rights -of -way to help businesses
survive. Because streeteries are allowed in ECDC 18 (Engineering and Public Works Standards), they are not something the
Planning Board reviews or makes recommendations on. Ordinance 4210 relates to on -site outdoor dining, which typically
occurs as an extension or accessory to a restaurant in an enclosed building. Sometimes it takes the form of patio dining or
outdoor open decks.
Board Member Robles asked if Ordinance 4210 would apply to the temporary structures (tents, etc.) that have expanded into
parking spaces. Mr. Chave answered that the ordinance is not applicable to tents and other structures that are located within
the rights -of -way. However, it could allow outdoor dining to be located in on -site parking areas, as long as the parking
spaces are not part of a business's required parking.
Chair Rosen asked how the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirement could potentially be impacted by outdoor
dining areas. Mr. Chave answered that the applicant would still have to comply with all of the building code requirements,
including making sure that access was ADA compliant.
Board Member Pence asked if there have been any applications for outdoor dining since Ordinance 4210 was passed in
December. Mr. Chave said he believes so, but he would need to ask the Building Official for this specific information.
Board Member Monroe referred to ECDC 17.75.010(2), and asked how the 4-foot wall, hedge or fence was arrived at. He
also asked how they arrived at the 50% or 30-seat limit. Mr. Chave said these requirements were part of the previous code
that had been in place for many years. The substantial change was not requiring a CUP for the use.
Board Member Pence observed that eliminating the CUP requirement from ECDC 17.75.020 would make ECDC 17.75.020
(Secondary Uses Requiring a Permit) functionally the same as ECDC 17.75.010 (Permitted Secondary Uses). If that is the
case, then ECDC 17.75.020 could be eliminated entirely. Mr. Chave agreed it might be possible to combine the two sections.
However, the language related to building and fire permits in ECDC 17.75.020 would need to be added to ECDC 17.75.010.
He commented that there has been some debate and uncertainty about when and how the building and fire permits apply.
Board Member Pence said he believes in having codes as neat and tidy and easy to follow as possible, and having two
separate sections that are functionally indistinguishable is not good bill drafting. He suggested that the permanent ordinance
combine the two sections in a way that accomplishes the intent. The remainder of the Board concurred.
Mr. Chave said the intent of the ordinance is to make it clear that outdoor dining must be the secondary rather than
predominant use of the property and that some buffering would be required. Chair Rosen referred to ECDC 17.75.010(A)(5),
which appears to be motivated by safety. If the intent is to separate vehicles from patrons, perhaps it should be spelled out
that the barrier must be suitable to protect the safety of the diner.
Mr. Chave advised that a public hearing on the ordinance is tentatively scheduled for March 24r''.
CODE AMENDMENT TO BROADEN APPLICABILITY OF THE UNIT LOT SUBDIVISION PROCESS
Mr. Clugston explained that this application is a privately -initiated Development Code amendment. As a Type V application,
the Planning Board conducts a public hearing and makes a recommendation to the City Council. He explained that the
Planning Board Minutes

7.7.b
Citizen Design Collaborative is proposing to add the Downtown Business (BD) zones to the areas in Edmonds where the
Unit Lot Subdivision Provision is applicable. He reviewed that United Lot Subdivisions are currently only allowed in the
General Commercial (CG), Multiple Residential (RM), and Westgate Mixed use (WMU) zones. He said the applicant has
submitted a parallel application for design review for a 14-unit complex at the old Baskin Robbins and Curve site. The
proposal is to construct residential and live/work units on the site and then apply the Unit Lot Subdivision Provision on top of
the buildings once constructed. However, this isn't currently allowed because the property is located in the BC zone.
Mr. Clugston said there have been a number of Unit Lot Subdivision Projects over the last several years in the RM, WMU
and CG zones that have worked out very well. Staff believes the proposed amendment makes sense in those areas in the BD
zone where multifamily residential is allowed on the ground floor. The amendment might also be applicable to other areas of
Edmonds, and staff is suggesting the Board consider the option of making the amendment more general to cast a broader net
to include all zones where ground -floor multifamily dwelling units are allowed. This would include Office Residential,
Firdale Village Mixed Use and Downtown Business zones, as well as any future subarea plans that allows ground -floor
residential units.
Board Member Pence noted that Unit Lot Subdivisions were only written into the code in 2017. He asked why the provision
was written so narrowly to apply only to a limited set of zones. Mr. Clugston said he doesn't recall exactly why. But,
generally, the RM, CG and MU zones were areas where they anticipated that Unit Lot Subdivisions would occur first. Five
of the six projects were in RM zones. Based on these projects' success, staff believes it makes sense to allow them in the
other zones, too. Mr. Chave said, sometimes, there are unusual configurations of property, and you don't always see how a
multifamily use that fits this kind of development could occur. That may be why they missed applying the use more broadly.
Board Member Pence agreed that application of the provision should be broadened as recommended by staff.
Chair Rosen asked the worse concern staff can imagine someone might raise at the public hearing. Mr. Clugston said he
can't think of one at this point. The look of the development on the ground would not change, as Unit Lot Subdivision would
simply drops property lines on walls. It is an alternative to the condominium process, and he felt it makes sense to allow it
wherever ground -floor multifamily units are allowed.
Vice Chair Crank said the only concern she foresees is about the look and feel of the downtown core. She noted a recent
story that was posted on MY EDMONDS NEWS about the design of the proposed project has already caused a stir. Mr.
Clugston said the proposed amendment is a separate issue from the design. Whether or not the amendment is adopted, the
applicant could build the units as long as Design Review and Building Permit approval are obtained. The question is how
ownership will be divided up. The applicant could construct the units and then go through the condominium process, and the
City would have no say whatsoever. If the amendment is adopted, the applicant would go through a separate process (Unit
Lot Subdivision). In either case, the look of the buildings would not change. He agreed that this is something that would
need to be clearly explained at the public hearing.
Board Member Cheung asked if the proposed amendment could result in parking impacts. Mr. Clugston answered no, and
advised that parking would be addressed as part of the Design Review and Building Permit processes.
Board Member Monroe asked for reasons why developers might want to use the Unit Lot Subdivision option as opposed to
the already established provisions in the code. Mr. Clugston answered that, currently, there is no provision in the code that
would allow the applicant to do a subdivision. Right now, Unit Lot Subdivisions are only allowed in RM, CG and WMU
zones. The applicant is requesting an amendment to allow the use in the BD zone to specifically take advantage of the fee
simple option as opposed to the condominium process or rentals. Board Member Monroe asked why Unit Lot Subdivisions
are an advantage over the condominium process. Mr. Clugston said his understanding is that the condominium process is
more difficult, is not a public process, and it is hard to get insurance for the units. The zero -lot -line process used in other
cities is the process that a lot of developers use to create fee -simple lots.
Board Member Monroe reviewed that the adoption of the proposed amendment would not change the density allowed, the
look and feel of development or the parking requirements. He noted that condominiums haven't been built in Washington for
a number of years because of insurance issues, and the Unit Lot Subdivision Provision would make it easier for developers.
He said anticipates that the greatest concern that might be raised at the public hearing is that the amendment would density
Edmonds and particularly the downtown core. Vice Chair Crank agreed with that concern.
Planning Board Minutes
February 10, 2021 Page 3
Packet Pg. 196
7.7.b
Board Member Pence suggested one reason developers do not like to do condominiums has to do with builder's liability.
Under Washington's Condominium Law, builders have a very long period of time when they are liable for defects in the
buildings, and they have been hit with some major lawsuits by homeowner associations. With Unit Lot Subdivisions, all of
these issues go away.
Board Member Robles noted that builder's liability lasts for eight years. In addition, there are building envelop laws
associated with condominiums. You can't simply flip a building from an apartment to a condominium. You have to make
sure that the building is structurally sound and that the building envelope, itself, meets a new standard. The windows have to
retain certain energy requirements and other requirements would apply, as well. He voiced concern that the proposed
amendment would be a quick way for developers to get around a significant amount of regulation associated with the
condominium process.
Board Member Cloutier observed that once a property is subdivided, each new division would have to meet all of the
standards for construction. Mr. Chave said Unit Lot Subdivisions should be thought of as a different form of ownership:
condominium versus subdivision. The standards and requirements would be the same for either.
Chair Rosen asked if the potential concerns that the amendment would change the character or increase density could be
considered fatal flaws that lead the Board to recommend denial. Mr. Clugston emphasized that the amendment would not
result in changes in the character of an area or increased density. He referred to the "Purpose" section, which clearly states
that "Unit Lot Subdivision does not permit uses or densities that are not otherwise allowed in the zoning district in which
they are proposed. "
Board Member Monroe said he appreciates that the proposed amendment would not change density. However, it should be
noted that the current condominium law is holding back densification. By removing that dam, they could see a tidal wave of
redevelopment in the downtown. He said he isn't a huge fan of the proposed amendment, as it will not do anything to
address housing for the "missing middle." It seems it will simply make rich people richer. He suggested it is disingenuous to
imply that the City isn't making it easier to develop this type of unit in downtown Edmonds.
Board Member Pence agreed that the code change related to ownership options would make the construction of town homes
a more attractive option for developers. However, it is important to consider that town homes are, by definition, a low to
moderate density development for a downtown area. If they receive push back from the public, he doesn't believe it will be
well-grounded.
Vice Chair Crank asked if a Unit Lot Subdivision would include the ground floor. If so, could commercial be part of that
ground -floor level? Mr. Clugston explained that the subdivision could apply to a live/work unit where the ground floor is a
commercial use, with residential uses above. But primarily, the developments would be entirely residential.
Board Member Pence asked if ground -floor commercial is required in the BD zone along 5' Avenue, or is it just an option
the developer is choosing. Mr. Clugston answered that commercial is required on the ground floor along certain street fronts,
including 5' Avenue. The applicant's solution is to develop live/work units, where there is a commercial use on the ground
floor with residential above where the operator or owner of the business would live. Board Member Pence noted that some
cities require the occupant of the ground -floor space to have a business license to establish the voracity of the business use so
it doesn't become just another town home. He asked if the City would require a license. Mr. Clugston agreed that would be
something to consider, as it makes sense to have the uses separated in some way.
Board Member Monroe commented that the intent of the first -floor commercial requirement is to activate the space. Spaces
that are occupied by businesses that do not invite the public in goes against the intent of the zoning. Mr. Clugston advised
that any commercial use can be located on the ground floor in theory, and there is currently a broad range of businesses in the
downtown area (office, service, retail, etc.). Mr. Chave added that, historically, live/work units are found back east. When
the country was young, that was fairly typical. The use is not quite as common in the western United States because
developers tended to build out because there was so much space. However, with the new urbanism that has occurred over the
last two decades, live/work situations are becoming more common. They are seeing more demand or interest from people
Planning Board Minutes

7.7.b
who want to live close to where they work. Board Member Monroe commented that if the live/work units must be owner -
occupied, people would have to move if their businesses close down.
Vice Chair Crank said she plans to seek feedback from a friend who owns live/work space in Seattle. His optician business is
on the ground floor, and he lives above.
Vice Chair Crank asked if the proposed amendment would override the ground floor commercial requirement in the BD1
zone. Mr. Clugston answered no.
Chair Rosen asked if the Board would have an opportunity to weigh in on how the regulations associated with Unit Lot
Subdivisions are enforced. Mr. Chave said the proposed amendment is related solely to the Unit Lot Subdivision provision,
and is unrelated to the ground -floor commercial use or other zoning requirements.
Board Member Cheung asked if the owner of a live/work unit could use the ground floor space for a business, but rent out the
upper floor to someone else. Mr. Clugston noted that the City hasn't permitted any live/work unit development to date. The
use and owner -occupancy requirement will need further thought. However, that is a separate question from the proposed
amendment.
Chair Rosen suggested the Board Members keep the questions raised in their minds as they become further informed at the
public hearing on March 24r''. In preparation for the hearing, he suggested that the Board provide feedback to staff about
whether the amendment should be geographically specific to the BD zone or opened up to a broader area.
Board Member Monroe voiced concern that the amendment might be more difficult to adopt if it is applied broadly. Mr.
Clugston didn't believe that would be the case because Unit Lot Subdivisions are already allowed in many other parts of the
City. The amendment would simply allow a developer to drop property lines down on a use that is already allowed in the
zone.
Vice Chair Crank said she is open to consider a broader application of the amendment to other zones in the City, but she isn't
ready to recommend its application in the BD zone at this time.
Chair Rosen asked if the applicant could develop the same project under the current zoning if the amendment is denied, and
Board Member Monroe answered that the project would not likely pencil out.
Board Member Cloutier requested that staff provide the Board with a before and after map to illustrate the areas that would
be impacted by the proposed amendment based on the two options.
Chair Rosen asked if the Board could recommend denial of the amendment now. Mr. Chave answered no and explained that
the Planning Board must conduct a public hearing before making a recommendation to the City Council.
The Board indicated general consensus that the amendment should be presented in the broader context at the public hearing.
The description for the hearing should make it clear how the amendment evolved, and that it is being sparked by a very
specific request for a very specific property.
BOARD MEMBER PENCE MOVED THAT THE BOARD RECOMMEND THAT THE PROPOSED
AMENDMENT MOVE TO A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE BASIS OF THE BROADER APPLICATION. BOARD
MEMBER ROBLES SECONDED THE MOTION, WHICH CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
APPOINTMENT OF NEW STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE
Chair Rosen asked about the process for appointing a new Student Representative to the Board. Mr. Chave said staff would
advertise the position next week. He recalled that, in the past, the Board set up a subcommittee to interview the candidates
and make a recommendation to the Board. The Board agreed to follow that process, with Board Member Robles taking the
lead.

PUBLIC HEARING ON CODE AMENDMENTS TO BROADEN APPLICABILITY OF THE UNIT LOT
SUBDIVISION PROCESS (FILE NUMBER AMD2020-0003)
Mr. Clugston advised that this is a code amendment request from a private applicant, Citizen Design Collaborative, who has
proposed a 14-unit townhome project at 614/615 5t1i Avenue S that is currently under review by the Architectural Design
Board. He explained that Unit Lot Subdivisions (ULS) are currently only allowed in the General Commercial (CG),
Multifamily Residential (RM), and Westgate Mixed -Use (WMU) zones. The applicant's proposed amendment would expand
Staff subsequently proposed an alternative amendment that would further broaden the applicability language to include any
zone where multifamily residential development is allowed on the ground floor. He pointed to the following attachments that
were included in the Staff Report:
• Attachment 1 — Cover letter from the request from the applicant, Citizen Design
• Attachment 2 — Draft code amendment
• Attachment 3 — Minutes from the Planning Board's February 10, 2021 meeting
• Attachment 4 — A Map of ULS applicability in Edmonds
Mr. Clugston reviewed that the ULS process was adopted in 2017 to provide opportunities to divide fee -simple ownership of
land to create townhouses, rowhouses and similar fee -owned dwelling units as an alternative to both condominium ownership
and traditional single-family detached subdivisions. At that time, it was felt that the ULS process would apply best to the
CG, RM and WMU zones. When the proposed amendment came in, staff agreed that the ULS process could work well in the
BD zones, and felt it could be further broadened to include the Office Residential (OR) and Firdale Village Mixed Use
(FVMU) zones. He recalled that staff discussed both options with the Planning Board at their February 101 meeting, and the
Board determined it would be appropriate to move the broader language to a public hearing.
Mr. Clugston said that, as he prepared for the hearing, he noticed that some additional clarity was needed. As a result, he
proposed the following small change to the language the Board considered at the last meeting.
• ECDC 20.75.045(B) — Applicability. The first sentence would be changed to read, "The provisions of this section
apply exclusively to the subdivision of land for single-family dwelling units, townhomes, and rowhouses in any zone
where ground floor dwelling units or live/work units are allowed. " Live/work units are considered a residential
building type according to the Building Code, and the change makes the language more specific as to where a ULS
could occur.
Mr. Clugston referred to the map (Attachment 4) showing the zones where ULS is currently allowed, the proposed zones
where ULS would be allowed if the code amendment is adopted, and the location of the five ULS projects that have received
approval or are currently under review. He summarized that the amendment would encompass the BD zones, as well as a
few parcels in the OR and FVMU zones. He said staff believes the proposed amendment would create the ability for some
interesting new projects in those areas. He reminded them that all projects would require design and building permit review
before a ULS could be applied over top of them, and a ULS would not change density or allowed uses. It is simply a way to
create fee -simple lots that have townhouse -type units on them.
Chair Rosen opened the public hearing.
Craig Pontius, Citizen Design Collaborative, said Mr. Clugston did a great job presenting the proposed amendment. He
said the intent of the amendment is to provide an alternate means of ownership for project types that are already permitted
under the code. Presently, the ECDC allows the construction of live/work units and townhomes in the BD zones, but they
cannot be subdivided and sold fee simple. This requires them to be condominiumized instead. The intent is to provide some
flexibility to property owners in the zone in terms of how the ownership structure of a given project will be put together.
Dr. John Hogue, Edmonds, said he is a member of the City's Economic Development Commission (EDC), and serves on
the EDC's Neighborhood District Subcommittee, of which Firdale Village is one. However, he was present to speak only as
a private citizen. He said he is opposed to expanding the ULS provision to the BD, OR and FVMU zones, as he felt it would
further erode existing commercial space set aside for businesses and stifle job creation and business recruitment for the City.
If the City truly wants live/work in Edmonds, he suggested they stop prioritizing housing at the expense of commercial space.

7.7.d
He recalled that, at the last Planning Board meeting, Mr. Clugston stated that ULS has worked very well in the Westgate
Mixed Use (WMU) zone. However, this is highly debatable, as two commercial spaces are still vacant two years after
Westgate Village opened. The housing above restricts the types of businesses that can use the commercial space. Because
the housing is maximized, the footprint of the ground floor commercial space is minimized, and the commercial spaces at
Westgate Village are small. The lack of tenants is not due to the pandemic; it is due to incentivizing housing. He expressed
his opinion that the WMU zoning has not worked well at all, and he is afraid the same situation will play out in the BD and
FVMU zones if they start to incentivize housing de facto by making it easier to do a ULS.
Michelle Douch, Edmonds, said she has followed this process, along with the Housing Commission's work on the Housing
Action Plan. She recalled that, as originally proposed, the amendment would only apply to the BD-3 zone. She only recently
learned that it has been expanded to include the entire BD zone, as well as the OR and other zones where ground floor
multifamily residential is allowed. She is concerned that the proposal would change the zoning in multiple areas of the City
under the cover of a single project. She feels that transparency is lacking for the community to know this is happening. The
intent of the Housing Strategy is to create neighborhood village plans, transitional zones, etc. that allow for this type of
development, which means there will be other smaller areas in the City that would be allowed to have tract townhome
development. Because the proposed amendment would be applied to a much greater area of the City, she suggested that the
process be slowed down to allow for greater public involvement. They should consider its impacts beyond just this one
project.
Mr. Pontius clarified that the proposed amendment is intended to modify an ownership model rather than allowable uses.
Regulations related to parking, design, etc. would remain unchanged. The amendment is intended to address how the
property is owned post construction, and the City would retain its ability to limit uses in a given zone, require design review,
etc. The ULS would occur after all of the permits have been reviewed and approved, rather than something that is done to
establish properties in order for entitlement to take place later. Again, he said anything that is constructed would have to be
compliant with the current code, but it could be divided and sold off.
As no one else indicated a desire to testify, Chair Rosen closed the public portion of the meeting.
Board Member Cloutier observed that a lot of the public concern appears to be that the number of residential units allowed to
be developed would increase if the amendment is approved. However, based on the Board's discussion at the last meeting,
the density would not change. The number of residential units allowed would not change. The only thing that would change
is the manner in which ownership of the units is handled. Mr. Clugston agreed that is correct. Board Member Cloutier
summarized that, if approved, the amendment would not make more units available for residential use than is allowed under
the current code. Mr. Clugston again agreed that is correct.
Board Member Robles said he understands that condominium development is required to pass certain standards in terms of
building envelope, ceilings, windows, etc. He asked if the ULS process would enable developers to skirt these standards or if
the standard of build would be the same. Mr. Clugston said he is not familiar with specific condominium requirements, but
the Building Division will review all projects to make sure they comply with the applicable building requirements. While he
is not an expert on these requirements, it is likely the International Residential Building Code would apply.
Again, Board Member Robles observed that the requirements to build a condo include some stringent building standards, and
that adds cost to construction. There is also some associated construction liability. He asked if these requirements would be
equally applicable to ULS ownership as they are to condominium ownership. Mr. Chave said his understanding is that the
multifamily building code standards are applicable to all multifamily development, regardless of ownership. However, he
acknowledged that there may be some differences as far as insurance rates, liability, etc.
Board Member Monroe asked what problem the proposed amendment is trying to fix. He also questioned if the amendment
would allow developers to skirt quality standards. He voiced concern that the Board doesn't have enough information, at this
time, to consider the full consequences of the amendment. Mr. Chave said the only difference would be that of ownership. It
would be a choice of whether a person wants to own the entire unit separately (fee simple) or be part of a larger condominium
organization. Board Member Monroe commented that there are liability requirements that protect condominium owners that
would not be required for ULS. He asked if that would have an effect on the quality of construction. Mr. Chave explained
that a condominium association would have certain rules for how they operate, and a single owner would operate differently.

In terms of liability, there might be differences in insurance, whether it is joint insurance for the entire building versus an
individual unit, but this would not impact the building standards that apply. He concluded that only the Building Official
could provide a definitive answer to address this concern.
Chair Rosen suggested the Board could delay its recommendation until the Building Official could answer the Board's
questions and concerns, or they could make a recommendation now that is contingent upon the Building Official's response.
Board Member Monroe asked why the condominium model has largely failed in Edmonds. If the answer is tied to liability or
quality, he felt the Board should explore the issue further before making a recommendation. Mr. Chave responded that
staff s understanding is that the proponents would prefer to do a ULS. If that doesn't work, they will simply go ahead with a
condominium. Board Member Monroe asked how many condominiums have been constructed in the City over the past 15
years, as his understanding is that condominium development in the State of Washington has been arrested due to liability
and quality issues. Mr. Chave said there were particular issues in the 1990s with how certain materials were being used or
applied and that is where the issues of liability lawsuits and bank reluctance came into play. A lot of condominiums were
being built using this cheap and easy method of construction, but these problems have largely been solved over the
intervening years. But again, he said he isn't an expert in this field. He suggested the Board ask the applicant to respond to
why he is interested in doing a ULS as opposed to a condominium.
Mr. Pontius said he can't speak to this issue directly. The decision was made by the developer, and he was directed to pursue
the option. His somewhat limited understanding is that, from the developer's perspective, the target market prefers the fee -
simple ownership model to the condominium -association model. Board Member Monroe asked how many condominiums
the developer has constructed in the State of Washington over the past 15 years. Mr. Pontius said he has only been in the
profession for the past 7 years, so he hasn't done very many. He said he could follow up with his colleagues to see how
common they are. His firm typically does apartment buildings that are sometimes condominiumized and sometimes held for
rental. This decision is made by the owner later in the process. However, their townhouse developments are usually ULS
rather than condominiumized.
Vice Chair Crank said she would prefer to delay the Board's recommendation, as she feels that some subject matter expertise
is missing in order for her to make a definitive recommendation. On a larger scale, she said she is feeling quite
uncomfortable making a recommendation for the whole when the amendment was submitted to address one particular
project. She doesn't want to make a blanket recommendation based on one particular project only to find out later that it isn't
appropriate for some areas.
Board Member Cloutier voiced concern that these questions were not raised at the last meeting, and Board Member Robles
answered that they were. Board Member Cloutier said he did a quick search and there are no different rules for construction
of condominiums. A condominium is a method of ownership of an apartment, townhouse or other building envelope. The
building envelope and how it is subdivided is what determines the rules for construction in the code. Condominium
associations can establish their own rules, but that is not the Board's concern. The Board's concern is about the use of land.
In this proposal, the use of land would not change in any way except how it is owned. He questioned how changes in how
the land is owned would impact the community.
Board Member Robles observed that there is a litany of requirements associated with converting apartments to
condominiums, including the air tightness, insulation, window quality, door quality, water vapor penetration through the skin
of the building, sealants, etc. It is barely feasible, particularly since the new condominium laws were enacted in 2015 to
protect the owners. The Planning Board's mandate is to do what is in the best interest of the citizens. The laws are there for a
reason, and he isn't entirely sure they have fleshed out the cost and benefit to society in having this one project influence
other future projects. While he is not recommending denial at this time, the Board needs some definitive answers to address
the concerns.
Mr. Chave said the Board could recommend approval of the amendment for must the BD zones, consistent with the
applicant's original request. The only reason staff suggested the larger applicability was the desire to avoid piecemeal
changes over time. He commented that converting rental units to condominiums is an entirely different issue because it
involves a single property owner dividing the building into individual ownerships. With ULS and condominiums situations,
there are separate owners for each unit and the building standards do not vary. When converting an older rental building, the

Building Official will look much more carefully at how the building complies with the current building codes. With new
construction, developers would have a choice as to the type of ownership they are building for, but the constructions
standards would remain the same.
Board Member Cheung observed that the proposed amendment would not prohibit condominium development. It would
simply open it up to allow townhome development, too. Mr. Clugston said it would allow both fee -simple and condominium
ownership. Board Member Cheung questioned the Board's interest in deciding whether one ownership option is better than
another. He said he doesn't know how allowing only condominium ownership would benefit the City. Unless he hears that
the City has a special interest in only allowing condominiums, he is ready to forward a recommendation to the City Council.
Board Member Robles said his concerns are related to building standards. If he was assured that the building standards
would be the same for either condominiums or ULS, he would support the proposed amendment. Board Member Cheung
noted that staff has indicated that the only change would be related to ownership and all other building standards would apply
in either case. Board Member Robles said he wants to make sure that is, in fact, the case. He wants assurance that the
proposed amendment would not open the door for a developer to build a lower -quality project than what would be required
for a condominium development.
Board Member Monroe didn't disagree with the comments provided by Board Members Cloutier and Cheung. However, he
felt it would be entirely appropriate for the Board Members to consider the potential consequences. They should
acknowledge that condominiums are more difficult to build because they come with strings attached and developers can be
held responsible for poor quality. These same requirements would not apply to ULS projects. The amendment would make
ULS projects easier to build, and they could presumably have worse quality. Even if the quality were the same, there would
be no recompense to sue the developer once they are done.
Vice Chair Crank said she is hesitant to make a blanket recommendation based on one particular project. She would feel
better about making a recommendation now if the Board had the ability to come to consensus on the original amendment that
would apply only in the BD3 zone.
Chair Rosen reviewed the Board's potential options as follows:
• Continue the hearing to a future date and request more information from staff.
• Make a recommendation on the original amendment proposal, which would only apply to the BD3 zone.
• Make a recommendation on the broader amendment, as presented in the Staff Report.
• Make a recommendation on either the broader amendment or the original amendment, but make it conditional
Board Member Cloutier referred to Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 64.55 (Multifamily Construction Defect Claims),
which applies equally to condominiums, apartments, etc., and simply address how a building is constructed. Again, he said
there are no separate laws that only apply to condominiums. In a transfer of ownership, the code name is condominium and
the exact same building requirements apply. He said he doesn't see any reason to object to the proposed amendment or
postpone a recommendation. He suggested that the Board consider two recommendations. First, they could make a
recommendation on the applicant's original proposal, which would only apply to the BD3 zone. Second, the Board could
make a recommendation on whether or not the proposed amendment should be applied more broadly, as recommended by
staff.
BOARD MEMBER CLOUTIER MOVED THAT THE BOARD TAKE ACTION ON THE APPLICANT'S
ORIGINAL PROPOSAL FIRST, AND THEN CONSIDER ITS BROADER APPLICATION TO OTHER ZONES IN
THE CITY AS A SEPARATE DISCUSSION. VICE CHAIR CRANK SECONDED THE MOTION, WHICH
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Mr. Clugston clarified that the applicant's original proposal was to apply the ULS process in all of the BD zones throughout
the downtown area. It was not specific to the applicant's property or even just the BD3 zone. Staff s proposal was to expand
the amendment to also apply to the OR and FVMU zones.
Planning Board Minutes

7.7.d
VICE CHAIR CRANK MOVED THAT THE BOARD RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE APPLICANT'S
ORIGINAL PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO APPLY THE UNIT LOT SUBDIVISION PROCESS IN ALL OF THE
BD ZONING DISTRICTS. BOARD MEMBER CHEUNG SECONDED THE MOTION.
Board Member Robles asked why the applicant's proposal was so broad to include all of the BD zones. Mr. Clugston said
the applicant requested to change the applicability of the ULS process to add the BD zones. It was not specific to the BD3
zone. Again, staff suggested that the amendment be expanded to include the OR and FVMU zones.
Board Member Monroe said he has environmental concerns regarding the proposed amendment, as well as how it might
impact the City's housing strategy. He is also concerned about the points raised by Dr. Hogue about its potential impact to
commercial development. The Board has an opportunity to postpone its recommendation to allow more time to get it right.
Board Member Cloutier again asked how the amendment would change the density allowed, the number of units or housing
availability. The only change would be to ownership. The issue to be addressed in the housing strategy is having units that
are affordable, and the amendment would not have any impact. He suggested that the Board Members should have raised all
of these issues and requested additional information at their earlier discussion in February. It is not acceptable to raise these
concerns late in the process because it appears to be throwing up roadblocks as an excuse not to get things done.
Once again, Mr. Clugston referred to the map (Attachment 4) and pointed out that the ULS process can be applied in all of
the red areas, which is a mixture of RM zones primarily along 212t' Street SW, 76r' Avenue W, 196t1i Street SW and
Edmonds Way, as well as the WMU zone in the Westgate area and the CG zones along Highway 99. There haven't been any
ULS projects in that WMU zone yet, but there have been some in the RM and CG zones throughout the City. The applicant's
request is to add the BD zones, and staff added three parcels zoned OR and the FVMU zone. He concluded that the process
is already used in a number of locations, and it is just one more option in the toolbox that developers have.
Board Member Robles asked why the amendment was not initiated by staff or the Housing Commission. If it is such a great
underlying strategy for the City, it should come from the City staff rather than from a developer. He cautioned that it isn't
possible to understand all of the condominium laws based on one Google search. There is more to it than that. Again, he
asked why staff didn't propose the amendment. Mr. Clugston said the original application of the ULS process came through
a private -developer request in 2016-17, and the Board reviewed and recommended approval of the request to apply the ULS
process in the CG, WMU and RM zones. While staff could have proposed an amendment to apply the ULS to additional
zones, it wasn't on their radar until it was brought up by a private developer to address his project in the BD3 zone. In both
cases, the ULS amendments were proposed by developers. Mr. Chave added that it is also a question of timing. Staff has a
lot of code amendment issues on their plate, and it hadn't occurred to them to propose the change. The developer felt it was
important enough for their project to submit a development code amendment.
Board Member Robles said he supports approving the change for just the project area, but the Board needs to have a broader
discussion, as well as more information, before it can be applied to other zones in the City.
Board Member Cheung commented that the fact that staff recommended a broader application of the amendment leads him to
believe that they think it is a good thing that will allow developers more options. Board Member Monroe asked if staff s
intent is to encourage more development in the BD, OR and FVMU zones. Mr. Chave disagreed that the proposed
amendment would encourage more development. From staff s perspective, it would provide more housing ownership
options, which is a good thing. Staff doesn't believe the only choice for multifamily housing should be apartments or
condominiums. It makes sense to allow developers to sell individual units, and it is actually quite common for the townhouse
model where units are set up on individual lots. That is basically what the applicant is proposing. In the applicant's case, it
would also allow live/work units where the ground floor space is commercial, with residential above. However, each unit
would still be owned separately.
Chair Rosen recognized that the City is currently undertaking a larger discussion about housing, and the proposed
amendment could have potential impacts on that strategy, as well as how the public is engaged in the discussion.
CHAIR ROSEN MOVED THAT THE MOTION BE AMENDED TO APPLY TO THE PROJECT AREA ONLY.
Planning Board Minutes

7.7.d
Mr. Chave cautioned that the Board could recommend approval of the amendment for the BD3 zone only, but it cannot
recommend changing the zoning for an individual property when talking about the overall zoning code.
CHAIR ROSEN MOVED THAT THE MOTION BE AMENDED TO APPLY ONLY TO THE BD3 ZONE
SPECIFICALLY. BOARD MEMBER CHEUNG SECONDED THE AMENDMENT.
Board Member Cloutier questioned if the Board Members have a clear understanding of exactly which properties in the
downtown are zoned BD3. If not, then he cautioned against singling them out for the change. Chair Rosen said his motion to
amend was intended to draw a smaller circle around the proposal.
THE MOTION TO AMEND FAILED BY A UNANIMOUS VOTE.
THE MAIN MOTION WAS APPROVED BY A VOTE OF 4-2, WITH CHAIR ROSEN, VICE CHAIR CRANK,
AND BOARD MEMBERS CHEUNG AND CLOUTIER VOTING IN FAVOR AND BOARD MEMBERS MONROE
AND ROBLES VOTING IN OPPOSITION.
Mr. Chave advised that the Board's recommendation will be presented to the City Council for a public hearing.
PUBLIC HEARING ON AN AMENDMENT TO EDMONDS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE (ECDC)
17.75, ENTITLED "OUTDOOR DINING," AND A RELATED SECTION IN ECDC 17.70
Mr. Chave reviewed that the City Council adopted Interim Ordinance 4210 on December 15, 2020, partially in response to
the limitations placed on dining during the pandemic. For several months, outdoor dining was the only way to accommodate
patrons, other than take out. It was noticed that the City's codes pertaining to outdoor dining were extremely restrictive and
required a Conditional Use Permit (CUP), which could take two or three months to process. The ordinance clarified the
conditions pertaining to outdoor dining and streamlined the process for approving this type of use on a commercial property.
Specifically, it eliminated the CUP requirement entirely, but still required that outdoor dining located directly adjacent to
residentially -zoned properties must comply with the landscape requirements in the existing code or be screened by a building
and/or 4-foot wall, hedge or solid fence.
Mr. Chave advised that, previous to the interim ordinance, seating was limited to 10% of the existing interior seating or 12
seats, whichever was greater. This typically equated to just a few tables, and anything beyond that required a CUP. The
interim ordinance increased the seating capacity to 50% of the existing interior seating or 30 seats, whichever was greater. In
addition, a requirement was added that any dining area adjacent to vehicle parking had to be separated by landscaping, curb
stops, wall or other suitable barrier. Although the CUP requirement was eliminated, the interim ordinance clarifies that
building and/or fire permits would still be required for some elements associated with outdoor dining such as canopies,
electric heaters, etc. He concluded that the proposed amendment would make the interim ordinance permanent.
Chair Rosen opened the public hearing. As no one indicated a desire to provide testimony, Chair Rosen closed the public
portion of the hearing.
Mr. Chave recalled that, at the Board's last discussion on the proposed amendments, Board Member Pence suggested that
some of the provisions in the ordinance could be combined for greater clarity. He observed that ECDC 17.75.010 deals with
the land use standards, ECDC 17.75.020 talks about when a building or fire permit would be required, and ECDC 17.75.030
talks about buildings and structures having to comply with the building and fire codes. Perhaps the latter two could be
combined, but ECDC 17.75.010 addresses something totally different. Again, he said the way the ordinance is currently
constructed is fine, but it might make sense to combine the last two sections. Vice Chair Crank said she would support
combining ECDC 17.75.020 and ECDC 17.75.030.
BOARD MEMBER CLOUTIER MOVED THAT THE BOARD FORWARD THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO
ECDC 17.75, ENTITLED "OUTDOOR DINING," AND A RELATED SECTION IN ECDC 17.70 TO THE CITY
COUNCIL WITH A RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL AS PRESENTED IN THE STAFF REPORT AND
AMENDED TO COMBINE ECDC 17.75.020 AND ECDC 17.75.030. VICE CHAIR CRANK SECONDED THE

MEMORANDUM
April 22, 2021
Edmonds City Council
Mike Clugston, Senior Planner
Are there differences in construction between condominium -
owned buildings and fee -simple -owned buildings like those
constructed as part of unit lot subdivision projects?
This question came up at the March 24, 2021 Planning Board public hearing on the unit lot
subdivision applicability amendment. Some Board members were concerned that
condominium projects would be held to a higher building code standard than a fee -simple unit
lot subdivision project.
The City's Building Official, Leif Bjorback, confirmed that all multifamily development projects,
whether ultimately rented or owned as a condominium or fee -simple, are reviewed against
either the International Building (IBC) Code or the International Residential Code (IRC). There is
a difference in which code applies, however. Party walls for condominiums are constructed to
the standards of the IBC while fee -simple party walls like for unit lot projects are typically built
to IRC standards, which are more robust than those under the IBC.

DESIGNING INSPIRED SPACE
PROJECT Unit Lot Subdivisions in BD Zones Code Amendment
TO CREATE COMMUNITY
SUMMARY
Citizen Design appreciates the opportunity to propose this code text amendment to
the Edmonds Community Development Code [ECDCL We believe that the proposal
is consistent with the applicable portions of the 2017 Comprehensive Plan and will
be in the best interest of the City and its residents.
Specifically, the proposal would amend ECDC Section 20.75.045.B to add the
Downtown Business [BDl zones in the list of zones in which unit lot subdivisions
[ULS1 are allowed. Thiswould a[low zero- lot -line development, such as townhouses,
to be subdivided for sale. Under present code, such developments must be held in
common, condomiumized or permitted as Planned Residential Developments.
If adopted, it is anticipated that the proposed amendment would encourage
townhouse development due to the relative ease of selling unit lots versus
condominium units. Such development could only take place in zones where it is
currently allowed as the proposed amendment is limited to ULS applicability.
We trust that this narrative and the attached supporting documents provide
sufficient information to review the proposed amendment. If any questions arise,
please feel free to contact our office.
Humbly Submitted,
Citizen Design
CRITERION 1: CONSISTENCY WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The proposed amendment affects properties with several Comprehensive Plan
designations. These include Retail Core, Arts Center Corridor, Downtown Mixed
Commercial, Downtown Convenience and Downtown Mixed Residential. All of
them are located within the Downtown/Waterfront Activity Center overlay per the
2017 Comprehensive Plan Map.
The 2017 Comprehensive Plan lists several framework goals for Activity Centers.
These include pedestrian orientation, mixed uses, community character, and
providing balanced redevelopment. [2017 Comprehensive Plan, pp. 43-441 More
specifically, the Plan's Goa lA.6 states that the City's objective is to Ipjrovide greater

residential opportunities and personal services within the downtown, especially to
accommodate the needs of a changing population." [Ibid., p. 461 Similarly, Goal EA
specifically calls for "...a mix of uses downtown which includes a variety of housing,
commercial and cultural activities." [Ibid., p. 481 In addition to the Activity Centers
goals discussed above, the Land Use Element includes several goals specific to
residential development. Residential Goal B states, "A broad range of housing
types and densities should be encouraged in order that a choice of housing will
be available to all Edmonds residents..." [Ibid., p 671 The proposal supports this
call for a variety of housing types by allowing townhouse -style construction to be
subdivided for sale, thus encouraging townhouse development. When combined
with the apartment and single-family residential typologies already present, this
contributes to the variety of options available to residents.
It is to be noted that the proposed amendment affects only the use of the ULS
process. All proposed developments will also need to comply with applicable
zoning code in effect. Thus, adoption of the proposed amendment will not permit
townhouse construction in areas where it is not currently allowed. Since this is
the case, the proposed amendment is expected to have a neutral effect on the
compatibility of existing and proposed development. This is in accordance with the
2017 Comprehensive Plan's Housing Goal F, "Provide for a variety of housing types
that respects the established character of the community." [Ibid., p. 941 It is also
in accordance with the 2017 Comprehensive Plan's Economic Development Goal
B, which calls for "...balancing the needs for housing, commerce and employment
development with neighborhood character, amenitites and scale.- [Ibid., p. 1121.
CRITERION 2: RELEVANCE TO PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE
The proposed amendment is expected to encourage the development of
townhouses and their sale to individual owners. This may result in an increase
in owner -occupied housing. Such housing is typically well -maintained as the
occupants have a clear incentive to do so. The presence of housing more generally
in mixed -use districts can also increase public safety via the "eyes on the street"
effect. Although the proposed amendment will not allow housing to be constructed
in areas where it is not already allowed, it may encourage such development.
CRITERION 3: PUBLIC BENEFIT
The primary public benefit to the City as a result of adopting the proposed
amendment is its encouragement of owner -occupied, townhouse -style housing.
This has the potential to further diversify the City's existing housing stock, which
is in alignment with several of the City's goals in the 2017 Comprehensive Plan.
Under present code, a project which seeks to establish the equivalent of unit
Lots is required to follow the Planned Residential Development [PRD1 process.
This process is more labor intensive for both the City's Development Services
Department and the project proponent, and it is designed to allow the potential
for alternative development standards. Not all projects require this flexibility,
and allowing the use of the ULS process instead may reduce the burden on the
Development Services Department.

2. COMMITTEE BUSINESS
Presentation of a Settlement Agreement for Dayton Street Pump Station Project
Mr. English explained the bulk of construction work was completed in early 2020. During pump startup
and testing, it was determined the three pumps provided by the contractor (Grundfos) were drawing
more electricity than specified by the construction contract. Grundfos offered to design new motors that
would draw the electricity specified in the contract specifications. The settlement agreement will, 1)
provide three pump motors (two installed and one backup) at no cost, installation and testing, and 2)
pay the cost of additional power associated with the pumps currently in operation. Staff has negotiated
the attached draft settlement agreement with the pump manufacturer (with approval of the contractor);
the City Attorney is working to finalize the agreement. Once complete, staff recommends placing the
agreement on the Consent Agenda for approval. Mr. English responded to questions regarding other
associated costs (none).
Action: Future Consent Agenda once the settlement agreement is finalized.

4. Presentation of a Local Agency Professional Services Agreement with CM Design
Group, LLC for the 76th Ave Overlay Project
Mr. English recalled earlier this year the Council approved an Interlocal Agreement with the City of
Lynwood for this project, a 2" grind and overlay and updated pedestrian curb ramps on 76th Ave between
196th and Olympic View Drive . Edmonds secured a federal grant in 2018 to fund a significant amount
of the Edmonds portion of the project. The City published an RFQ in accordance with the City's
Purchasing Policy to design the project, three firms responded and the selection committee chose CM
Design Group. A contract fee of $150,529 was negotiated which included a 10% management reserve
($13,684). However, this federal contract does not allow a management reserve so it will be removed,
reducing the contract fee amount to $136,844. The cost of this project is shared with Lynnwood;
Edmonds' portion is $88,523 and Lynnwood will pay the difference. One of the reasons Edmonds'
portion is larger is 10 of the 14 ramps are on the Edmonds side. The ramps require additional design
effort and federal documentation related to the grant. Edmonds' cost will be paid by the grant and a
local match funded with REET.
Questions and discussion followed regarding appreciation for upgrading the ADA facilities, there being
no requirement for Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) firms, DBE firms that will be involved in
the project, changing the channelization, and benefits of combining the project with Lynnwood. Staff
was asked to follow up with Councilmember Distelhorst regarding DBE firms.

by Councilmember Fraley-Monillas.
2. COMMITTEE BUSINESS
1. Interlocal Agreement with the Housing Authority of Snohomish County (HASCO)
Ms. Hope explained HASCO currently owns and operates three properties in Edmonds. The Interlocal
Agreement would allow HASCO the ability to provide additional housing in Edmonds should the
opportunity arise and having an ILA in place would allow them to move forward more quickly with any
such opportunity. The Edmonds Citizens Housing Commission recommended the City enter into an ILA
with HASCO. Councilmembers Distelhorst and Councilmember Olson, who served as liaisons on the
Housing Commission, assembled information for this agenda item.
Ms. Hope reviewed:
• 3 HASCO sites in Edmonds
• What the draft ILA does not do
o There are no preferences, incentives, or concessions
o No code, zoning or density changes
o Does not guarantee more HASCO properties
o No City financing for possible properties as part of this ILA
• What is included in the draft ILA
o Establishes HASCO as the City's official housing authority
o Allows HASCO to operate within geographic limits of the City, like any other property owner
o Creates partnerships for
■ Research on housing statistics relevant to the City and Snohomish County, as well as
information on best practices in affordable housing
■ Coordination on possible regional partnerships with neighboring jurisdictions, non-profit
organizations, or other groups as the parties deem appropriate
■ Regular communications between appropriate HASCO and City staff to provide
information on existing housing programs available to City residents
Recommendations from recent studies focused on housing development

regional partnerships with other organizations or neighboring cities
o Creates opportunity to explore long-term solutions
Action: Presentation to Council on April 27t" with action
2. Code Amendment to Restore Planning Board Appointment Schedule
Ms. Hope explained over the years some Planning Board appointments have gotten out of synch with
the original schedule established in the code in the 1980s. Mr. Taraday explained the packet contains
an ordinance with redlined changes. Since the packet was prepared, significant information was brought
to his attention that changed his interpretation of the ordinance. The scenario originally created in the
code contemplated two positions would rotate off the board every year. Over the years, terms have
gotten off that schedule and the proposal is to return to that schedule. His approach was not to have
term exceed four years. In addition to term length, other minor revisions were made to replace outdated
language.
Questions and discussion followed regarding the original intent to have two positions rotate off per year
versus this proposal which has four terms ending in 2022, how the terms got off track, changing the
roster and not the ordinance and allowing positions to self -correct, scenario where positions would have
5-year terms, intent of the ordinance to return to 4-year terms with 2 positions rotating off every year,
past practice of having the alternate fill the vacant position for the remainder of the unexpired term,
concern no changes to the ordinance were necessary, and the date that terms expire.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas suggested Councilmember K. Johnson confer with Mr. Taraday
Discussion regarding this agenda item continued following the conclusion of Agenda Item 6.
Action: Presentation to full Council on April 20t"
3. New Building Division Job Description
Mr. Bjorback explained this is a request to approve the creation of a new job description for a non -
represented Permitting Supervisor. A supervisory position is needed due to increased procedural and
technological demands on permit staffing. Staff worked with Ms. Neill-Hoyson on the new job
description. Any increase in salary will be offset by continued high levels of revenue from building
permits. He responded to questions regarding this being as an internal promotional opportunity, and
staff that the position will supervise. Councilmember K. Johnson requested a copy of the department
organizational chart.
Action: Consent Agenda with organizational chart
4. Renewal of Interlocal Agreement with Edmonds School District for Issuance of
Keys to Access School Buildings in Emergencies
Chief Bennett relayed this is the renewal of an ILA for issuance of keys to officers for Edmonds School
District buildings in case of an emergency and outlines how officers can use the keys. She responded
to a question regarding the policy defining when officers can enter school district buildings.

5. Human Services Program Manager Job Description Revision
Ms. Feser relayed effective April 1, 2021 the Human Services Division was relocated to the Parks,
Recreation & Cultural Services Department and the Human Services Program Manager now reports to
the Director of that department. The proposed revision to the job description reflects the change in staff
reporting.
Questions and discussion followed regarding the Mayor's decision to relocate the Human Services
Division, employees who will be relocated to the Frances Anderson Center, potential facility
improvements to accommodate staff at the Frances Anderson Center, and advice from legal counsel to
have any changes to job descriptions approved by Council
Action: Consent Agenda
6. PFML Policy Changes
Ms. Wagener explained the City developed a Paid Family & Medical Leave (PFML) policy in response
to the State's voter approved PFML Program. The City's policy allows employees to supplement their
PFML payments with their available paid leave as long as the combined total of payments does not to
exceed 100% of the employee's gross wages. After one year of administering this program, it was
discovered this 100% maximum negatively impacts part time and lower wage employees due to how
PFML calculates leave payments. The effect is that part time and lower wage employees subject to the
100% maximum do not receive enough in supplemental payments to continue to pay their benefit
premiums while on leave. Staff requests revising the current PFML policy to allow supplementation for
a combined payment maximum of 150% for those who are not able to cover their benefit payments
while on leave at the 100% maximum.
Action: Presentation to full Council.
Discussion continued regarding the Code Amendment to Restore Planning Board Appointment
Schedule (Agenda Item 2.2) related to allowing five year terms, allowing terms to self -correct by doing
nothing, language in the code that terms are limited to 4 years, concern doing nothing ignores the 4-
year term limit in the code, requirement for some type of legislative action to address the issue, ability
for Planning Board members to serve more than one term following reappointment, and how
appointments are made.

streaming equipment, Mr. Mclalwain reported TJ Loehman prepared an analysis of the cost of
using the equipment which can be used in preparing presentation budgets as well as passing
those costs on to rental clients. He will provide updated numbers to several committees who are
working on that.
6. PFD Board Business
2021 Operating Budget — Q1 Modification Update
Mr. Keller provided an update on the process, relaying he is working with department directors to
gather information on additional expenses and revenues. He anticipated presenting a first draft at
the Board's March meeting.
7. Finance, Facilities & Operations
• Finance Report — January 2020 DRAFT
Mr. Keller reviewed the Statement of Revenue, Expenses and Changes in Net Position (Income
Statement, highlighting the contribution received from the City; rental activity in the gym by sports
groups, the church and the school; payroll slightly higher due to a greater level of activity expected
in February and anticipated matching revenue; and tax revenues performing above expectations.
Cash Management — Jan -June 2021 — Tool Presentation
Mr. Keller reviewed the EPFD/ECA Monthly Cash Flow Projections for 2021 (tracking cash and
expenses by month and YTD total), a tool developed at the Admin & Finance Committee. He
highlighted total revenue receipts, expenses, net increase cash, non -operating revenue (sales tax
revenue and debt service payments) and total operating and debt service cash. The report
anticipates a return to operations in September and shows expenses related to presentations and
a list of potential initiatives to eliminate negative cash position.
Discussion followed regarding the conservative, middle of road approach to estimates; greater
than expected January revenue; estimates in the report related to Center Stage/spring fundraising
event and the Gala; potential 2021 special donor pandemic contribution; and potential initiatives
to address an anticipated $170,000 shortfall.
• SBA Opportunities: Shuttered Venue Operating Grant Update
Mr. Keller relayed he has been provided preliminary guidance and checklists for the application
and is working to gather that information. The portal to apply has not yet opened; he is monitoring
it daily. An SBA representative assured that the PFD/ECA qualified for this grant as a government
entity and primary operator of the venue, unlike the PPP program. This grant would allow a
request up to 45% of lost earned revenue comparing 2020 to 2019 (not including contributions).
• Streaming Equipment Update
Mr. Keller reported the final critical components were received by Morgan Sound and installation
is scheduled on March 15 with testing that week. Discussion followed regarding ECA technical

• Long Term Vision and Planning
Mr. Mclalwain reported the Steering Committee has had two meetings to review the draft vision
originally created by David Schaefer and Mike Rosen. The committee is wordsmithing, asking
questions, getting to a place of clarity regarding the future and what the north start looks like. He
thanked Board President Brewster and others for recent work to update the existing mission,
vision and values.
Board President Brewster relayed the committee takes this effort seriously and has spent 2-3
meetings on it. He thanked David Schaefer for accommodating this effort in the Steering
Committee's regular work. The committee is getting close to bringing to the boards a vision
concept that will drive the business and take the ECA into the future on solid footing.
9. Marketing & Business Development
• CRM Migration, New System (Audience View)
Mr. Mclalwain reported CRM migration is underway; he recognized Jim Kristian, who worked hard
with Vendini in the past to improve reporting mechanisms and is working on the switch to
Audience View, learning the system and training staff. He reported on ticket sales via Audience
View, updating the seating chart due to renovation of the theater, reporting provided by Audience
View, flexibility to explore dynamic pricing, and Audience Views' marketing tools. Data from the
old fundraising system has not yet been migrated to Audience View; it will be exciting to have the
ability to see and manage a patron's full history in one system. He summarized migration requires
patience, and it was fortunate this could be done during a slower period, providing an opportunity
to work out the kinks.
Discussion followed regarding completing migration by reopening, anticipation the kinks in the
system will be worked out by early May, plans to migrate donor data after the May fundraising
event, plans to begin promoting the 21/22 season in spring/summer, timeframe for having the
system operational for marketing, perfecting the ability to sell tickets first, and Audience View
assisting with transforming ticket buyers to package purchaser to donors.
10. Programming
• Programming Taskforce
Mr. Mclalwain reported the team met recently to discuss the great work being done in committees
and task forces as a result of the 2020 retreat to identify ways to generate new revenue in early
2021 until the ECA can reopen safely, securely and in a better financial position. That led to
conversations in committees regarding fundraising, ticket sales, and new activities in 2021 before
audiences return to the venue for live events. He proposed to the team the idea of developing a
single theme, tagline, brand, a way to tell a story that encompasses the May event, summertime
events and then pivoting to the Gala in September to celebrate the end of those activities and the
reemergence of the 21 /22 season.
Mr. Mclalwain was hopeful this could include a revival of the seat naming campaign. Only about
10% of the seats were sold in a past effort to sell the naming rights for the auditorium seats. A
new campaign could encourage people to put their own name, a quote, a family member's name,
a beloved artist, a local hero during the pandemic, etc. on a seat. At $1,000 each, the seat
campaign has the potential to generate a great deal.

Board President Brewster reported on July/August events that will include live performances on
the lawn, virtual only performances, and a combination of live and virtual speaking engagements.
After considering up 50 ideas, the Programming Taskforce narrowed them to these. The
Marketing & Business Development Committee focused its meeting on an umbrella vision for this
new programming that encompasses regular summer programming, the seat campaign and other
efforts to announce the ECA's reemergence in the fall.
11. Hosting
Mr. Mclalwain reported the Board Governance Committee is working on committee development.
He hoped to expand the Hosting Committee due to several people expressed interest in a recent
survey. Board VP Liaw looked forward to bringing the energy from Programming, Marketing &
Business Development and Philosophy Committees to the Hosting Committee.
12. Philanthro
• Current Grant Requests
Mr. Mclalwain reported staff is working on several important grant requests; he recognized
Christina Kourteva for her efforts. He announced the Hazel Miller Foundation had approved a
$50,000 request and may invite the ECA to submit a special grant request for $10,000 directed
at dementia inclusion work which could include Window to the Arts.
• Spring Event (Center Stage Replacement)
Mr. Mclalwain commented the organization entered 2021 unsure whether there would be a May
event. The Philanthropy Committee is focused on a single event/story that is not Center Stage
but in a similar timeframe, great energy and a kickoff. The committee has not begun planning as
they are awaiting a theme. The event is envisioned as a 45-60 minute online experience, with live
broadcasts from the stage, prerecording testimonials/performances and a story to make it exciting
and engaging.
Discussion followed regarding efforts to drive philanthropy via individual doors, other fundraising
campaigns, bandwidth of two development staff working half-time, energy/effort to cultivate
relationships with current donors, and the options of reaching out to individual donors instead of
an event.
13. Inclusion & Accessibility, Education & Outreach
Development of Equity Statement — Process, Timeline
Mr. Brewster reported a task force within Inclusion & Accessibility, led by Diana White and Liz
Dawson, is focused on producing an equity statement.
• Equity Training: Next Steps
Mr. Mclalwain reported following staff equity training, Michelle Osborne and he discussed the
transformation of the organization, the way it does business and interacts with the community,
how to ensure everyone who walks in the door feels welcome and ownership, the progression of
the training process and policy development, how to transform the way the organization hires and
retain employees, the next evolution of the land acknowledgement, access for people with
disabilities, etc. Ms. Osborne suggested determining what the organization wants to accomplish

over the next several years and send her an RFP and she will respond with ideas for pacing and
engaging in a variety of activities/training to ensure it there is a well thought out, holistic approach.
Ms. Osborne also mentioned as cisgender white male in his position, he needs to recognize due
to his own privilege and position that he may not see or respond to things that need to be done.
She recommended considering a mentor on retainer to coach him to be a better manager of his
team. Discussion followed regarding support for the RFP that Ms. Osborne suggested and mentor
for Mr. Mclalwain, importance of equity training, and potential grants to fund equity training.

• Steve Woodard — Councilmember, Forum Chair, Mountlake Terrace
• Laura Reed — Stormwater Program Manager, Mountlake Terrace
• Patrick Johnson — Stormwater Technician, Edmonds

• Ken Courtmanch — Parks Supervisor, Mountlake Terrace
High lake levels — resources are available
Patrick Johnson, Edmonds Stormwater Technician, discussed the fact that there has been an
unusually large amount of rain in the past few weeks, a condition that City of Edmonds is
describing as an "atmospheric river." Due to the extensive flooding experienced in other parts
of Edmonds, he was surprised that the number of residents who have called or emailed with
flooding concerns has been lower than in past years. He suggested that this may be due to a
combination of factors, including dry periods between storms, the weir being kept clear of
debris, and the September 2020 lily removal with burlap barrier to prevent regrowth at the
lake outlet.
Packet Pg. 231
8.2.c
Patrick then invited residents to comment on flooding that they have experienced. Warren
McAndrews, Edmonds resident, stated that he had observed flooding was a foot higher last
year during heavy rains. Julie Rose, Edmonds resident, commented that her crawl space and
lawn were flooded, and that lake residents with fixed docks had to make some adjustments to
prevent damage, but that it was "a lot less scary" than last year's high water on Lake Ballinger.
Laura Reed, Mountlake Terrace Stormwater Program Manager, said she would gather data
on high water levels at the McAleer Creek weir to present to the Forum at the next meeting.
III. Updates on maintenance of McAleer Creek for lake flood prevention
Laura Reed, Mountlake Terrace Stormwater Program Manager, briefed the Forum on the
following activities by Mountlake Terrace Operations Crews to keep McAleer Creek between
Ballinger Lake and 1-5 clear of obstructions that might cause flooding.
McAleer Creek is walked weekly all year to look for obstructions, and more frequently during
wet weather. This winter 3 beavers have been relocated and 1 beaver dam has been removed.
The 1-5 culvert is being checked during high water periods, upstream and downstream. The
water flow appears to be moving quickly out of Lake Ballinger and through McAleer Creek.
IV. Improvements to Ballinger Park —fishing pier, boat launch, viewing platform, creek restoration
Jeff Betz, Mountlake Terrace Recreation and Parks Director, provided the following updates:
•Environmental and recreation improvements are at the 90% design phase for the fishing
pier, boat ramp, boat dock/launch, and shoreline improvements on east side of Lake
Ballinger.
oJeff anticipates construction will be able to start July 1- August 31. This is the period
where construction is allowed to occur in order to protect fish. The Lake Ballinger
swimming beach would be closed during construction.
eThe restroom at the Lake Ballinger swimming beach has been installed with final concrete
work scheduled for next couple of months.
eThe design of the new asphalt pathways is being finalized and will be going out to bid
soon.
•Grants have been submitted for the Ballinger Park west side project aspects. Jeff Betz
provided the following updates:
o Early indications of grant applications indicate this project has scored well, so
the project may receive funding. The final decision is anticipated by June,
2021.
o Premera will donate $100,000 towards project.
o Viewing platform
■ New viewing platform is not yet funded. Community involvement for
Packet Pg. 232
8.2.c
project will be 2022. If funded, the viewing platform would be
constructed in summer 2022 or 2023.
■ The viewing platform design will need to be vetted by residents and
project aims to hear from all voices on the location and design.
■ The Parks department is aware that there are concerns from residents
about the viewing platform. Warren McAndrews, Edmonds resident,
confirmed this understanding.
■ The Ballinger Park/Hall Creek Restoration project is a different project
on the north end of the lake.
o The next step in the process is to hire an engineering firm to help with the
project including community meetings where residents will review 30, 60, 90%
designs.
o Ed Boehmer, Mountlake Terrace resident, asked: Will the beach area closure
force people to the north end of the park to recreate? Is that acceptable?
■ Jeff Betz stated that more signage will be added in the NGPA (native
growth protection area) and more education will be provided to
people on where to swim.
o Warren McAnders asked: Can we install split rail fencing to protect new
plantings?
■ Jeff Betz replied that we can but not near the Hall Creek area. Once
plantings go in during the Hall Creek project the plants will be
protected.
V. Announcements
• Kari Quaas, Snohomish Conservation District Community Engagement Project Manager,
stated that the annual Snohomish Conservation District native plant sale is taking place now,
along with a youth art contest.
• Angela Ewert, representative for Snohomish County Councilmember Jared Mead, stated that
Councilmember Mead wanted to attend the Forum meeting but was unable due to an emergency
wisdom tooth extraction.
• Diane Buckshnis, Edmonds Councilmember asked if the ILA (interlocal agreement) needed to be
revised each time a new member joins.
• Laura Reed replied no, the ILA is drafted to allow latecomers to the group. The Forum is
expected to add the City of Shoreline and Snohomish County soon.
• John Featherstone, Shoreline Surface Water Utility Manager, expects that the Forum ILA will be
signed by the City of Shoreline on January 25t" during the next council meeting.
VI. Public Comment
• Ed Boehmer, Mountlake Terrace resident, thanked to Jeff Betz and Parks folks for trimming up trees
and increasing the feeling of safety in Ballinger Park.
• Mark Phillips, Lake Forest Park Councilmember asked: Does Mountlake Terrace use Beavers
Northwest to relocate the beavers? This is a company that relocates beavers from places they are
not wanted to places they are wanted.
Packet Pg. 233
8.2.c
• Laura Reed committed to discussing the organization and beaver removal with Tim Nye,
Mountlake Terrace Storm Supervisor, and getting back to the Forum on the result at the
next meeting.
• Kari Quaas stated that Snohomish Conservation District can also connect the Forum with
other resources for beaver relocation.
• Julie Rose, Edmonds resident, stated that there was a plan in the early 2010s that outlines steps to
flood mitigation. She asked if the Forum can get updates on where we are in this plan.
• Laura Reed confirmed with Julie that she was referring to the 2009 Greater
Ballinger/McAleer Creek strategic action plan, and committed to reviewing the plan and
presenting what has been accomplished since the plan was written and what remains to be
completed at the next Forum meeting.

• Prior Action Items Review
Mr. Keller reviewed progress on action items from the previous meeting and identified outstanding
items (see Action Items 1 & 2 below).
6. PFD Board Business
7. Finance, Facilities & Operations
• Finance Report — February 2020 DRAFT
Mr. Keller reviewed the Statement of Revenue, Expenses and Changes in Net Position (Income
Statement), highlighting the increase in expenses with corresponding increase in revenues, net
positive operating surplus compared to budget, unanticipated grant revenue, intergovernmental
tax revenue that exceeded budget, and net surplus positive compared to budget.
Discussion followed regarding increase in payroll due to rental event, implementing new
equipment and updates in preparation for reopening, and unanticipated grant revenue related to
completion of theater project (reimbursement received in 2021 instead of 2020).
Mr. Keller reviewed the Statement of Net position (Balance Sheet), highlighting assets trending
slightly ahead due to foundation donations, lower accounts payable, and significant payments
made on credit cards since the last meeting.
• Monthly Cashflow Analysis Report
Mr. Keller described the purpose of this report and highlighted updates made to the report related
to total operating and debt service cash at year end, increased revenues, and potential
revenues/savings the report does not include (Shuttered Venues grant, renegotiation of bond
sale, not making a bond interest payment, partnerships, additional development activity, etc.). He
summarized there were a lot of options for closing the gap a net positive by year end was likely.
Questions and discussion followed regarding transfer in and out from non -operating during lean
periods, future transfers back into non -operating, rental assumptions, sales tax revenue that will
exceed debt service in the future which provides opportunity to discuss what to do with those
funds over time, language in the ILA with Snohomish County that states debt service is paid first,
and the potential need to revise the ILA language if the funds are used in a more programmatic
manner.
Board suggestions included: 1) italicizing or providing a background color for projected months to
differentiate between actual and projected, and 2) showing actual and projected transfers back
into non -operating.
• Report to City of Edmonds Finance Committee - Recap
Mr. Keller reported the March 91h meeting with the City Council Finance Committee where the
PFDs financials were shared was a very positive meeting. The PFD was invited back to discuss
future business plans through COVID and the bond refinancing. Discussion followed regarding a
request to Inform board members of Finance Committee meeting dates/times, link on the City's
website to the March 9th Council Finance Committee meeting, date of next meeting with the
Council Finance Committee (April 13th), topics to be discussed with the Finance Committee and

preference the PFD Board sees the bond refinancing information before is presented to the
Council Finance Committee.
• SBA Opportunities: SVOG Update
Mr. Keller announced the portal will open April 8t"; staff is finalizing the numbers and submission
materials. This grant would allow the PFD to capture approximately 45% of the revenue earned
in 2019 compared to the impacted period in 2020 and could be up to $700,000. Mr. Mclalwain
advised there are different rounds of funding depending on the amount of revenue lost; the first
round is for a 90% loss and the second round is a 70% loss; the ECA's loss is 70-75%.
Questions and discussion followed regarding the timeline for application submittal and decisions,
maximum funding levels, potential additional funding from Congress, and a request to update the
board regarding progress/status on the SVOP grant including when the grant is submitted and
which round ECA qualifies for.
• Streaming Equipment Update
Mr. Mclalwain reported streaming equipment was received and installed last week following a
delay due to COVID-related manufacturing issues. Last Saturday's Kidstock! Danny's Dance
Party was streamed via the new equipment with the help of a third party contractor (previous cost
of $1500-$1600 to bring in equipment was reduced to $750). Staff is analyzing how to manage
the equipment financially, the equipment capabilities, the best platform to use, and whether
anything is missing. The purchased equipment included a stationary camera that can be
controlled remotely, but 1-2 mobile cameras will need to be rented on occasion until they can be
purchased in the future. The church has offered loan their camera to the ECA at no cost but it will
also be necessary to occasionally rent additional equipment.
He described the platforms being considered; negotiating/contracting with artists and revenue
sharing for view -from -home tickets; developing descriptions of equipment, how rental clients can
utilize the equipment, cost, scalability, etc.; potential for streamed tickets; the need for more
bodies to operate cameras; and plans to utilize the steaming equipment this summer for six of the
nine events.
Discussion followed regarding the Hosting Committee's concern about timing and missing
opportunities, benchmarks for actively marketing the streaming opportunity, determining costs
and confirming abilities before marketing, developing a timeline for marketing materials, showing
the Kidstock! event to potential rental clients, opportunity to market ECA within the Mandolin
platform, cost and percentage of ticket sales Mandolin charges, and what other presenting venues
are doing.
• 2012 Bond Refinancing Update & Next Steps
Mr. Keller reported he is waiting on bond refinancing scenarios from financial adviser Piper
Sandler. Once a group of staff and committee members have reviewed the information and
developed a strategy, a presentation will be created to seek guidance and preferences from the
PFD Board.
• 2021 Operating Budget — Q1 Draft Modification Presentation
Mr. Keller advised the 2021 Operating Budget Q1 draft modification was reviewed by the Admin
& Finance Committee yesterday. The committee will review it again and incorporate more

feedback before requesting PFD Board approval next month The report includes the original
budget, revised budget, net change, and comments. He highlighted increased renal activity,
additional foundation money, revenue from the seat campaign, Center Stage replacement event,
increased expenses due to summer series, assumption staff will return to 3/4 time over the summer
and full-time in September, updated tax revenues based on actuals from the prior year, and final
net position of $28,000 more than original budget. Approval of 2021 Q1 Operating budget will be
on next month's agenda.
8. Executive Report / Steering Committee
• Long Term Vision and Planning
Mr. Mclalwain reported the Steering Committee is continuing the process of developing a vision
and mission that more accurately reflects the balance between hopes and dreams for the future,
reinforces the strategic business plan approved in 2018, and updates the values. He thanked
ECA Board VP David Schaefer and ECA Board Member Mike Rosen as well as the entire Steering
Committee for keeping that process on track. He anticipated the committee will be close to
bringing something to the ECA and PFD boards following their next meeting. The document being
developed will help the organization respond to opportunities, create internal programs, etc.
Board President Brewster explained in the past, the organization did not have a clear way to
evaluate opportunities and compare them with the strategic business plan which led to a process
of re -envisioning the mission, vision, guiding principles and values to better align with the strategic
business plan as well as evaluate opportunities and partnerships.
9. Marketing & Business Development
• Promotion of Spring and Summer Programs
Mr. Mclalwain reported the tentative date is Wednesday, May 26th. He envisioned an hour long
event that will focus on, 1) the reemergence of summer programs and getting back to live
performances, 2) education and outreach, and 3) elevating equity and inclusion work.
10. Programming
• Spotlight Summer Series
Mr. Mclalwain highlighted performers confirmed for the summer series and Board President
Brewster identified potential speakers. Discussion followed regarding the intent to bring
programming back to the community in a budget neutral position, using the summer to test drive
the equipment and the process of getting people in and out of the building, sponsors of mystery
and canceled shows, and differences between the May event and Center Stage.
11. Hosting
• Update
Board VP Liaw reported the Hosting Committee, joined by other board members, have been
discussing revenue sources, when to begin marketing, rental rates, and developing a framework
for negotiating and evaluating requests to be more strategic. The committee also plans to discuss
community partnerships, and a scholarship process for rental clients.

9. Philanthropy
• Spring Event (Center Stage Replacement)
• "Next Stage" Seat Campaign
Mr. Mclalwain relayed the seat campaign is being revived as part of the effort to generate new
revenue in 2021. The campaign invites the community to put a name on a seat and support the
organization with a $1000 investment. Seats can be named to honor a family member or loved
one, a hero during the pandemic, a favorite quote, a favorite artists that has appeared on the EC
stage, etc. Staff is developing marketing materials and a promotion plan, anticipating the
campaign will begin after the May event and continue until December 31, 2021. There are
currently 166 named seats, leaving over 500 available for investment.
• Grants
Mr. Mclalwain reported Christina Kourteva is working to redirect grants received from TourWest,
for artists unable to appear at the ECA, to new artists. ArtsWA has received additional funding
and support for COVID-related opportunities and partnership and programming opportunities. The
Hazel Miller Foundation provided a $50,000 grant and invited the ECA to apply for additional
support; they are very interested in the dementia inclusion series. The ECA received $10,000
from NEA for a dance program that did not happen and NEA offered a waiver to use those funds
for general operations. The Susan Elizabeth Foundation, which provided a multiyear grant to
create and fund a portion of Mr. Keller's position, is offering an opportunity for an equally creative
and capacity building item.
13. Inclusion & Accessibility, Education & Outreach
Development of Equity Statement
Board President Brewster reported a group of committee and non -committee members, led by
Diana White and Liz Dawson, is working on an equity statement modeled after the Edmonds
School District statement but appropriate for the PFD/ECA. It is important that this organization
be recognized as a place of equitable treatment and consideration for the entire community. Mr.
Mclalwain said one of the examples being considered is the Cuyahoga Arts Council which has a
succinct and clear statement along with specific categories, action items and measurable
outcomes over time.
• Equitable Treatment/Conditions — Artists and Audiences
Mr. Mclalwain reported artists who are thinking about touring the country are nervous and
concerned about moving between venues and traveling. Some have new specific COVID-related
contract riders related to who is backstage, sanitation and security, etc. which require additional
planning and investment in the backstage area. The same consideration needs to be given to
audiences; the lobby has been updated with barriers, equipment, dots on the floor, etc. but it will
take a lot of care, patience and time to get patrons in and out of the facility.
Mr. Mclalwain reported another new expectations in the riders is related to equity, for example
gender neutral restrooms and other matters related to transgender rights/needs which may
require some structural investments. This is a movement occurring nationwide that the ECA
needs to be part of. He anticipated large grant requests related to infrastructure issues such as
an elevator and gender neutral restroom reconfigurations.

Board President Brewster commented it was highly appropriate that the organization address the
issue of gender neutral restrooms and provide an open and accessible experience to all. He cited
the Starbucks on Pike & Borden and the new Hugo House on Capitol Hill as examples of gender
neutral restrooms. He acknowledged that will require investment in design and construction at the
ECA and needs to be seriously considered in the next 1-2 years. Board Member Willcock
suggested putting this on the Facilities and Operation Committee agenda.
