PUBLIC HEARING
• PLN 2022-0027 City of Edmonds Parks Department Greenhouse Setback Variance
Staff Presentation: Mike Clugston, City of Edmonds Senior Planner, summarized the staff report. Staff is
recommending approval with conditions as noted in the staff report.
Applicant Testimony: Angie Feser, Director of Parks, Recreation, Cultural Arts, and Human Services, explained
that the purpose of the greenhouses is to support the beautification program. The existing greenhouses are failing
and need to be replaced. Funding is aligned, and the project is ready to go. The variance is basically replacing
the footprint of the existing greenhouses with one that is much more sustainable. She explained that if they were
to push the greenhouse any further north (in order to comply with the setbacks), they would no longer have any
vehicular access to the lean-to portion of the building where most of the equipment is stored.
Public Testimony: None
ADJOURNMENT:
The meeting was adjourned at 3:22 p.m.
