7. AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Ron Wambolt, Edmonds, relayed in studying the Police Department 2013 annual report and the 2013
budget, he learned, 1) the police responded to 21,789 dispatched calls for service in 2013 which includes
calls to Woodway, 2) the Police Department 2013 budget was $8.9 million, 3) applying 100% of the
department’s expenses to the 21,789 service calls equates to $408/service call, 4) $408 x 10 calls per
month to Woodway equates to $4,080/month. He concluded the charge should be something less than that
Packet Page 5 of 411
amount since Edmonds Police are not patrolling Woodway to do crime prevention, parking or traffic
enforcement, etc. To those that say the Edmonds Police is excessively diluted by calls to Woodway, the
annual report states there were 762 incidents for field service officers in 2013. Assuming the same now
would be true, Woodway’s 120 calls are only 16% of one of those officers. To those that say Woodway is
not paying enough; with an annual contract fee of $36,720, the 16% equates to an expense of $233,000 or
approximately double the cost of one officer. His understanding was if the Council decides to give up the
Woodway contract, the City would lose revenue but lose not any expenses. He urged the Council to retain
the proposed three year contract term because two years, which some Councilmembers favor, passes too
quickly. He urged the Council to make an unemotional and objective assessment of the issue and approve
the proposed Woodway Police contract.
Dave Page, Edmonds, relayed the study session seating arrangement looks terrible from the TV
audience’s point of view; and there is a loss of decorum when the Council is televised seated at the table.
With regard to Westgate, he recalled at the Town Hall meeting held by Councilmembers Bloom and
Petso, most of the people were opposed to the proposal or had a lot of questions. The Town Hall meeting
prompted him to do research that he had not done before. He recalled during the last election, people
spoke about keeping the town small which felt was a selfish stance and would require doubling taxes. He
agreed something needed to be done at Westgate and he applauded the planning that had gone into the
Westgate plan. He recalled some residents at the Town Hall meeting who said they were hearing about
the plan for the first time. He suggested residents stay informed about City business by reviewing meeting
agendas on the City’s website.
Carla Nichols, Mayor of Woodway, requested Council’s support of the proposed police contract for the
following reasons, 1) Woodway has appreciated the partnership with Edmonds, and 2) Woodway receives
excellent backup police service from Edmonds’ Police Department. When the Council last reviewed the
contract about two years ago, the City wanted a higher dollar amount which was done, a 400% increase.
The Council wanted an inflationary index to be included in the contract; the proposed contract includes a
CPI indexed increase. Woodway wants to have its own Police Department and does not want a full
contract with Edmonds. To the suggestion that the police contract be similar to the Fire District 1
contract, she explained FD1 provided all Woodway’s fire suppression and emergency medical services.
The Police contract is for officers to respond only to Priority 1 and 2 calls; Edmonds officers do not patrol
Woodway streets, do not do detective work, do not follow up after emergencies, and do not do traffic
control. Those tasks are all done by Woodway officers. Essentially Edmonds is receiving approximately
$40,000/year for mutual aid which usually is not a contract between municipalities. During the 21 months
of the current contract, the base level of 10 calls/month was exceeded in 3 months, calls were under the
base during 14 months and the most frequent call level was 7/month. She concluded the contract is
working and she requested the Council approve it as proposed.
8. PUBLIC HEARING ON THE 2015 PROPOSED CITY BUDGET
Finance Director Scott James reviewed where budget documents can be found on the City’s website via a
link on the home page to 2015 Budgeting. The link accesses the 2015 Proposed Budget, 2015 Decision
Packages, 2015 Preliminary Budget Book Changes, Department Budget Presentations, 2015 LTAC
Application, 2015 Council Allocation of $250,000 and 2012-2019 Forecast. He displayed two proposed
Council allocations from the $250,000:
Proposal # Description Cash Increase (Decrease)
1 Veterans Park Design ($10,000)
2 2 Train Trench Peer Reviews (Vancouver’s and Edmonds’) ($20,000)
Mayor Earling opened the public participation portion of the public hearing.
Packet Page 6 of 411
Catherine Gold, Edmonds, ceded her time to her husband. Charles Gold, Edmonds, referred to the
Tetra Tech study released today regarding the cost to build a train trench along the Edmonds waterfront.
He explained the real fight is to stop BNSF from double or triple tracking through Edmonds. He provided
two pictures of the view of Main Street looking west (created in 2012 for the Mayor’s save the beach
proposal), 1) existing or with a train trench, and 2) with a bridge, explaining if nothing is done and BNSF
surface double or triple tracks, the result will be the view with the bridge which is unacceptable. The only
thing the City has to offer BNSF that could be a better system and save Edmonds is a train trench. He
noted the existing view from Main Street looking west does not change with a trench; if the waterfront is
surface multi-tracked, the result will be bridges, overpasses and re-grading the approaches. He urged the
City Council to vet the train trench proposal and have it presented to BNSF. He expressed concern the
$10,000 non-transparent “quick and dirty” study that unnecessarily expands the scope to the south and
does not check basic facts, is full of errors and omissions and has cost estimates the consultant
characterized as inappropriate until a real design study is done. The study states due to the myriad costs
no accurate cost estimates can be done until a full design study is completed.
Mr. Gold referred to other projects in the CIP, explaining none them would be harmed by delaying until
the following year to allocate $50,000 - $100,000 for a study by Jacobs Engineering, an international firm
with a local office in Bellevue whose trenches cost less because of their experience which includes
building the Reno trench or BergerABAM as an alternate. Whatever funding source is used must allow an
immediate start because the opportunity to partner with BNSF is lost when they begin surface multi-
tracking. He expressed concern with the City government that is unable to act due to a short term and
narrowly focused political consideration. The result will be bridges unless the Council independently
commissions a qualified proper design study of the train trench as outlined in EdmondsTrainTrench.net,
preferably by Jacobs Engineering who built the Reno trench that has 12 bridges for $170 million 10 years
ago. Tetra Tech estimated a train trench in Edmonds with two bridges and half the length would cost
twice as much. Even allowing for soil conditions, he estimated the cost of a trench in Edmonds would be
close to half of what Tetra Tech has provided.
Kurt Greiner, Edmonds, expressed appreciation for the inclusion of funds for engineering wayside
horns at the Main and Dayton Street railroad crossings in the Mayor’s proposed budget and hoped the
Council would approve the $55,000 allocation. The installation of the horns will make crossings safer ,
reduce noise level from train horns approximately 98% in the affected area , improve property values near
the railroad, help businesses such as the Best Western hotel and the marina, and make the community a
better place to live although they will not help him due to his location. He cited an omission in the
proposed budget: funds for engineering and planning of the train trench. A report on the potential costs
was published by Tetra Tech today, a firm that specializes in coastal marine work but has never been
involved in building a train trench. The train trench is essential tabled until 2019-2020 in the proposed
CIP. BNSF has indicated they will install a second and perhaps third track through Edmonds and the
Tetra Tech report states the rail bed has already been widened for the second track. If the second tracks
are laid, in his opinion the trench was no longer a viable consideration. The train trench is an expensive
project, will get more expensive in the future and competition for money will increase as more cities ask
the state and federal government for money for similar work as train traffic increases. Edmonds Crossing
does not decrease the number of trains passing through Edmonds; it only moves the ferry traffic. A trench
has many benefits including trains no longer delaying ferry schedules and the large cost of moving ferries
Edmonds Crossing would be avoided. Time is of essence and he asked the Council to allocate $100,000
in the 2015 budget for the development of a plan with a company that has experience with trench projects.
Kevin O’Keefe, Edmonds, ceded his time to Mr. Gold. Mr. Gold continued his earlier comments,
expressing concern City government had not seriously, professionally and transparently looked into the
real design and cost of a train trench or compared the economic benefits of a trench versus an overpass.
The poorly done, erroneous study primarily supports an alternatives analysis that has now been put off
because it wasn’t honest to begin with. He asserted City government had done nothing to save the City
from surface multi-tracking. The $10,000 devoted to the cursory investigation and the timing of its release
Packet Page 7 of 411
along with changing the topic of the Town Hall from solving train crossing issues to a regional coal trains
meeting instead shows what goes on behind the scenes. Only by the Council hiring Jacobs Engineering or
BergerABAM can the City say they actually tried to preserve Edmonds’ signature value and quality of
life. One of the many omissions and errors in Tetra Tech’s report is the fact that BNSF has not yet double
tracked Edmonds and can use environmental mitigation funds toward the trench such as was done in Reno
where the railroad paid the first $60 million of the $170 million cost, creating a private-public partnership.
He thanked Councilmembers who care about Edmonds and their constituents to do the right thing.
Dave Page, Edmonds, commended Mr. Scott and the Mayor for the bottom line in the 2015 budget,
recalling the disastrous 2012 and 2013 preliminary budgets when many though a bond measure would be
needed. He was proud of the City for coming out of that mess and urged the City not to squander money,
noting possibly the City needed to spend money doing as the previous speakers suggested.
Hearing no further public comment, Mayor Earling closed the public participation portion of the public
hearing.
Council President Buckshnis relayed the Council will hold a study session on the budget next week. She
suggested the public contact Councilmembers with any questions.
9. PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PROPOSED 2015-2020 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN/CAPITAL
IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
Mayor Earling opened the public participation portion of the public hearing.
Charles Gold, Edmonds, displayed two photographs of the view of Main Street looking west, 1) the
existing/with a train trench, and 2) with a bridge. He suggested when considering a train trench, the future
economic value of Edmonds as well as the quality of life needs to be taken into account. He noted
photograph of a bridge would need to include a bridge over Dayton as well as Main as well as emergency
access. Placing the train in a trench below preserves Edmonds; everything at surface stays the same and
views are not blocked. The trench also protects the marsh by creating a tray to catch spills/drips from cars
and protects the town in the event of an explosion on the tracks. When he proposed this to the former
Community Services/Economic Development Director Stephen Clifton, who spent a great deal of time on
the Edmonds Crossing project, Mr. Clifton said the trench would be worth twice what Edmonds Crossing
was worth. The City is lucky BNSF has not yet double tracked; they could have any time since 2009. He
summarized the train trench was more important than any other project in Edmonds; not allocating
$50,000 - $100,000 for a genuine study with a firm that had experience was unconscionable.
Catherine Gold, Edmonds, thank Councilmembers for everything they what do to make Edmonds a
better place. Although the Tetra Tech study states a very high figure, she asked the Council to include
funding in the CIP for a new and complete professional quality bid study by one of the two experienced
international engineering firms that have built below water trenches, BergerABAM or Jacobs
Engineering. These firms have successfully negotiated similar engineering challenges at a lower cost and
have more knowledge and experience than Tetra Tech on building a below water trench. The potential
benefits of a train trench are enormous; the impact of surface multi-tracking would be horrendous. Time
is of the essence due to pressure from increasing commerce by rail requiring surface double or triple
tracking in the near future. Approximately $50,000 - $100,000 is needed to present a credible and
professional plan to the community and potential private-public funding partnerships with BNSF,
Washington State Ferries and WSDOT. With the projected cost information and a visualized design, the
City government, citizens and funding partners can evaluate the needed features to fit within a shared,
achievable budget while providing the maximum benefits to Edmonds safety, prosperity, quality of life
and value for the future of the waterfront as train traffic increases, no matter what cargo the railroad is
carrying. There are a lot of projects but nothing that rises to level of importance of the train trench and it
should be included in the CIP.
Packet Page 8 of 411
Hearing no further public comment, Mayor Earling closed the public participation portion of the public
hearing.
10. DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT FOR CG ZONES IN HIGHWAY 99 AREA AND
POTENTIAL ACTION
Planning Manager Rob Chave recalled during the Council’s previous discussion Councilmember Fraley-
Monillas presented alternative proposals which the Council elected to take additional time to review. The
packet includes two draft ordinances; the first ordinance, Exhibit 2, is the Council’s initial action which
removes the 2-floor commercial requirement in the Highway 99 CG zones and substitutes the equivalent
of 1 floor of commercial space arrayed as the proponent wishes on property. The second ordinance,
Exhibit 5 restores part of the Planning Board’s original recommendation including a flat parking rate of 1
space per 400 square feet of commercial. He pointed out a typo on page 313, line 32 of the packet, should
read: “Parking shall be provided as follows: (a) for non-residential uses, 1 space per 400 sq. ft. of leasable
building space; and (b) for non-residential uses, as required for RM zones.”
Mr. Chave relayed another amendment Councilmember Fraley-Monillas proposed, instead of the
equivalent of the ground floor dedicated to commercial, the commercial requirement would be removed;
any mix of residential and commercial uses would be allowed within building. A third amendment, found
on page 312 of the packet, would replace the sunset date with a reporting requirement, the Development
Services Director would report on development activity for the CG and CG2 on the anniversary of the
ordinance He pointed out the parking amendment proposed by Councilmember Fraley-Monillas is more
conservative than the Planning Board’s recommendation of 1 space per 600 square feet. Councilmember
Fraley-Monillas’ amendment also omitted the Planning Board suggestion for a site specific parking study.
Councilmember Petso observed page 304, the list of proposed amendments, contains language regarding
a site-specific parking study. Mr. Chase assured that language is not in the draft code.
Councilmember Petso commented the ordinance was initially unanimously adopted by Council in a
different format than is proposed tonight. One of the issues that the Council previously supported was a
sunset provision so that the ordinance automatically sunsets at the end of a year. She asked Council to
consider retaining that provision. She referred to examples where reporting requirements were not met
such as Fire District 1 was to provide quarterly reports, the Public Facilities District was to provide a
quarterly financial report to the Council Finance Committee beginning in 2002; the first report occurred
in August 2014. Although she could support retaining the reporting requirement, she also requested
Council consider including the sunset requirement, envisioning that would ensure the reporting
requirement was met.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT BUCKSHNIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-
MONILLAS, TO TAKE FROM THE TABLE THE MOTION FROM OCTOBER 7, TO APPROVE
THE ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 16.60 OF THE EDMONDS COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT CODE. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas explained the three items she proposed returning to the ordinance were
contained in the original ordinance considered by the Highway 99 Task Force, the Planning Board and
citizens in the area. To her surprise the ordinance was approved when she was out of town, stripping it of
several issues that are important for Highway 99 development. Highway 99 is very different than other
areas of Edmonds with regard to its commercial areas, livability, walkability and transportation. Her
proposal to remove the sunset provision was because development regulations are not typically sunseted.
If the matter is not taken up by the sunset date, it automatically reverts to the previous language. She
highly doubted much would occur on Highway 99 in a year. She was satisfied with a reporting
requirement and assured that review would occur as soon as she was on Council.
Packet Page 9 of 411
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas explained she proposed removing the requirement for commercial to
allow flexible development on Highway 99. With that flexibility, she hoped to see more development
occur and potentially the ability to create transit oriented living environments. She did not find it realistic
to require first floor retail in all development and preferred to allow developers to determine whether to
build commercial and/or residential. With regard to parking, she explained Highway 99 is different than
other areas of Edmonds; there is Swift and Community Transit service every 15 minutes, a new hub will
be constructed in Lynnwood, and there will be a connection to the Mountlake Terrace transit center. As a
result people living and working on Highway 99 do not need cars as much as in other areas of Edmonds.
She was interested in regulations that encourage development rather than deter it. The reason
development has not occurred on Highway 99 is because the zoning requires two floors of commercial.
Expansion in the hospital district also warrants changing development regulations on Highway 99. She
urged the Council to accept her proposed revisions to the ordinance.
Main Motion
COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-MONILLAS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER
PETERSON, TO APPROVE THE REVISED ORDINANCE NO. 3981, CONTAINED IN EXHIBIT
5, AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS, WASHINGTON, AMENDING EDMONDS
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE CHAPTER 16.60 TO AMEND USE REQUIREMENTS
AND MODIFY PARKING STANDARDS WITHIN CG DEVELOPMENTS.
Amendment #1 and Action
COUNCIL PRESIDENT BUCKSHNIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETSO,
TO AMEND TO REMOVE “NON” ON LINE 32 ON PAGE 313. AMENDMENT CARRIED
UNANIMOUSLY.
Councilmember Peterson commented one of intriguing changes Councilmember Fraley-Monillas
proposed was removing the commercial requirement which would allow purely residential. A necessary
element for businesses to succeed is a certain density of customers. He asked about striking a balance
between commercial and residential. Economic Development & Community Services Director Patrick
Doherty responded mixed use is not just what happens in one building but what happens in an area. A
mixed use building can achieve the mix but an area that is predominately commercial does not achieve
the mix. Given that the provision will be reviewed after 1-2 buildings occur, there is opportunity for the
development community to respond based on the market dynamics. Developers recognize when they
build housing, there is always some demand for goods and services on site. Some commercial is likely to
happen given the amount of development that is possible on some of the large lots on Highway 99. He
envisioned the market’s initial response would be residential development with complimentary retail that
may not necessarily equate to the full footprint of a large building.
Councilmember Peterson supported Councilmember Fraley-Monillas’ proposal to remove the commercial
requirement as it would create flexibility. With the opportunities for transit and the move toward young
people and retirees getting rid of their cars, this is a good opportunity for positive things to happen on
Highway 99. With regard to the one-year sunset provision, he said no developer would begin developing
a plan under that provision because they were unlikely to even get their architects in a room in one year.
He opposed the sunset provision and preferred an annual report. He acknowledged there have been errors
in the past related to reporting; those are lessons learned and it is up to the Council to work with staff to
ensure reports are provided. There has been great success in recent years with regard to reporting such as
the Public Works quarterly reports and he was confident staff would provide the reports.
Amendment #2
COUNCILMEMBER PETSO MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BLOOM, TO
AMEND THE ORDINANCE TO ADD A SUNSET PROVISION.
Packet Page 10 of 411
Councilmember Petso recalled a one-year sunset has been used in the past when experimental land use
changes have been approved like the 8-foot setback that allowed Key Bank to be constructed on Edmonds
Way. She preferred to include a sunset provision because it provides incentive for staff to remember to
provide a review. With regard to Councilmember Peterson’s comment that developers could not get their
architects in a room in a year, she assumed once an application was submitted, it would vest to the
regulations in place as of the date the application was received by the City.
Councilmember Johnson asked staff to comment on Councilmember Petso’s assumption that vesting
would occur on the date an application was submitted. City Attorney Jeff Taraday answered once a
developer submits a completed building permit application, they are vested. Whether the Council wants to
include a sunset provision relates not only to vesting but how much time it takes to reach the point of a
completed application.
Councilmember Peterson asked what is entailed in the submittal of a completed building permit
application. Development Services Director Shane Hope explained a completed building permit
application requires extensive work such as architectural plans; it is not just a preliminary site plan. A
completed building permit application usually takes a few months to put together in the best of times.
Councilmember Bloom expressed her support for the amendment, finding it reasonable to review a
significant development change in a year. She agreed a sunset provision will jog staff to ensure it is
reviewed in an appropriate and timely manner, particularly if there is an application in process to clarify
the issues.
Action on Amendment #2
UPON ROLL CALL, AMENDMENT FAILED (3-4), COUNCILMEMBERS BLOOM, JOHNSON
AND PETSO VOTING YES; AND COUNCIL PRESIDENT BUCKSHNIS AND
COUNCILMEMBERS FRALEY-MONILLAS, MESAROS AND PETERSON VOTING NO.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas commented this is only the first phase of the development of Highway
99; it will be a long term project to create a more vibrant area. Another issue being discussed is the
potential for affordable housing and low income housing along the Highway 99 corridor. Currently the
affordable housing is motels/hotels and trailer parks on Highway 99, which she pointed out is not
appropriate for families. Ms. Hope agreed it is a long term process; the intent was to do simple things
first, review the progress and consider other options. She noted some of versions of the ordinance may
have had another word missing; the sentence regarding the Development Services Director providing a
report should have the word “working” at the end.
Amendment #3
COUNCILMEMBER PETSO MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BLOOM, TO
AMEND THE ORDINANCE TO RETURN TO THE FLEXIBLE MIXED USE LANGUAGE
ADOPTED BY COUNCIL LAST YEAR AND NOT THE RESIDENTIAL ONLY LANGUAGE
THAT IS PRESENT IN EXHIBIT 5.
Councilmember Petso commented under either version of the ordinance, the proposal is to eliminate the
requirement for second floor commercial and only require first floor commercial along Highway 99. The
other aspect was allowing flexibility, not the typical Puget Sound area first floor commercial with
condominiums or apartments above. The concept was flexible mixed use that would allow a 2-story
commercial pedestrian mall on the front portion of the property with residential behind. Without this
amendment, residential only would be allowed on Highway 99. She was concerned that the ordinance
being amended was a commercial ordinance and it seemed grossly inappropriate to amend it to allow
residential only. She also felt this change was similar to a rezone and had the proper rezone procedure
been followed, one of the criteria for Council to consider would be whether the rezone maintains the
appropriate balance of land uses in the City. Edmonds is almost entirely residential now. Another of her
Packet Page 11 of 411
concerns was budgetary; she feared that one or more of the car dealers on Highway 99 would decide they
could cease selling cars and retire with the proceeds of developing their lot residential which would have
an enormous sales tax hit to the City for little apparent purpose. She preferred to restore the flexible
mixed use concept and not what is in essence a rezone to pure residential.
Councilmember Peterson commented this amendment seemed to be in conflict with the motion; the
Council was presented two ordinances, one with and one without the language Councilmember Petso
proposes to include. Councilmember Petso assumed she was allowed to propose amendments. Mr.
Taraday suggested Councilmembers consider amendments on their merits and vote them up or down.
Councilmember Peterson commented this is a great opportunity to take advantage of what is already a
mixed use zone by creating some much needed residential in an area that is lacking in residential
properties.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked whether the ordinance removes the ability for commercial
development. Ms. Hope answered it does not. Councilmember Fraley-Monillas clarified commercial
development would still be allowed and it was not just a residential ordinance. Ms. Hope agreed.
Councilmember Johnson relayed her understanding that any property two acres or more can have
residential in a mixed use property. This is a commercial corridor and the commercial quality needs to be
preserved and enhanced. She supported redevelopment near the Swift stations but she was uncertain she
supported wholesale redevelopment of the corridor that could include residential as that would not be
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.

11. POTENTIAL ACTION ON THE PLANNING BOARD'S RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE:
1) AN AMENDMENT TO THE EDMONDS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE CREATING
A NEW WESTGATE MIXED USE ZONE AND RELATED DESIGN STANDARDS; AND
2) AN AMENDMENT TO THE ZONING MAP CHANGING THE BN, BC AND BC-EW ZONES
IN THE WESTGATE COMMERCIAL AREA TO A NEW WESTGATE MIXED USE ZONE
DESIGNATION
Development Services Director Shane Hope explained the Planning Board’s recommendations are
incorporated into the proposal. Approximately 95% of the proposal reflects the Planning Board’s
concepts; approximately 5% has been refined since the Planning Board’s review to address issues raised
by the Council or at the public hearing.
Planning Manager Rob Chave explained:
• Planning Board recommended two distinct actions:
o Establishment of new zone (Westgate Mixed Use)
o Rezoning of commercial properties in the Westgate area to WMU
• Current draft reflects Council modifications and changes of detail but is still consistent with the
Planning Board’s original recommendations.
He relayed details of the Westgate code discussion:
Packet Page 12 of 411
• Council public hearings on August 4 and October 7
• Draft ordinance provided in tonight’s packet
• Attachments are the same as included for the October public hearing, with the same changes
highlighted in ‘red’ in Exhibit 2
• One additional change was made in response to a Council question that addresses more specific
standard for typical planting/sidewalk strip
He relayed two questions to be resolved:
1. Are the sidewalk/planting strip standards helpful?
• Intended to clarify the minimum standard, consistent with current Engineering ROW
standards.
• Complementary to the SR-104/100th Ave intersection requirements (3rd & 4th floor stepback,
additional landscape/entry feature)
2. Does the Council want a 12-foot setback (recommended by Planning Board) or a 20-foot setback
for buildings?
• Council has yet to vote on a setback standard.
• Testimony from Bartells indicating their support for a 12-foot setback.
He displayed and described a diagram with a 5-foot planting strip, 7-foot sidewalk, 10-feet from the back
of curb to the right-of-way line, and a 12-foot setback, explaining on the Walgreen’s site approximately 2
feet of the sidewalk was in an easement on the property. Under the current 12-foot setback requirement
(10 feet of right-of-way plus 12-foot setback), there is approximately 22 feet from the back of the curb;
the building must be constructed outside that 22 feet.
He displayed and described a second diagram illustrating the 20-foot setback the Council has discussed:
5-foot planting strip, 7-foot sidewalk, 10-feet from the back of curb to the right-of-way line, and a 20-foot
setback which provides a total of 30 feet from the back of the curb. With a 20-foot setback, it was likely
more of the amenity space would occur in that area.
Mr. Chave advised the sidewalk language was inadvertently duplicated on pages 414-415 in Section
22.10.025 and on page 389 in Section 16.110.025. He recommended the duplicate language be deleted
from Section 22.10.025
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas referred to the map with the number of stories in the quadrants, relaying
her understanding that the buildings in the Bartells quadrant along 100th Avenue were 3 stories. Mr.
Chave answered they have always been 4 stories Councilmember Fraley-Monillas recalled 4 stories were
not desirable on the corners of the quadrants to avoid a tunnel affect. Mr. Chave answered there are 2
provisions that address that, 1) the 30-foot stepback from the intersection for a 3rd or 4th story, and 2) all
4-story building that face toward 100th or SR-104 have a 10-foot stepback. Councilmember Fraley-
Monillas asked whether there were amenities required to obtain a 4th story. Mr. Chave referred to the
height bonus table to obtain a 4th story. The 4th story was not automatic; developers must do more than
one thing from the height bonus table.
Councilmember Johnson observed along the SR-104 corridor the current building setback is 20 feet. Mr.
Chave agreed, noting a couple BC zoned properties at the north end do not have any setback. Most of
Westgate is zone BN which currently has a 20-foot setback. Councilmember Johnson observed an interim
ordinance in place a couple years ago had an 8-foot setback. Mr. Chave advised only 2 building were
constructed under that interim ordinance, the bank on the corner which has an approximately 10-foot
setback, and the empty pad between SR104 and Walgreens which is proposed to be a large Starbucks
store. Councilmember Johnson observed in the Key Bank example the distance from the curb was not 30
feet, it was only 8, 10 or 12 feet. Mr. Chave explained the reason he cited 30 feet was the location of
buildings also needs to consider what is in the right-of-way. There is approximately 9-10 feet to work
Packet Page 13 of 411
with in the right-of-way and generally that is where the sidewalk and planting strip are located. The
setback begins at the right-of-way and moves back. With a 12-foot building setback there is 21-22 feet to
work with. With a 20-foot setback, there is approximately 30 feet to work with.
Councilmember Johnson pointed out that was unknown until all the right-of-way information was
available. It appears there was a 20-foot from the sidewalk building setback at Rosecourt and the other
senior facility. Mr. Chave commented the amount of right-of-way varies outside the central Westgate
area. It is generally about 80 feet; five 12-foot lanes leave approximately 9-10 feet of right-of-way.
Councilmember Johnson commented right-of-way widths was one of the results she looked forward to
from the transportation study. Her position has been that that information should be available before any
changes are made.
Councilmember Bloom referred to the 12 foot and 20 foot setbacks, relaying her understanding of Mr.
Chave’s explanation that the setback is from the right-of-way. Mr. Chave reviewed the drawing with a 20-
foot setback, identifying the right-of-way line, 10 feet within the right-of-way that is available for
frontage improvements, 20-feet begins at that line which is assumed to be the property line; a building can
be constructed outside that 20 feet. Under the proposed regulations, the building setback is 12 feet.
Councilmember Bloom relayed her understanding the right-of-way location is not known on all
properties. Mr. Chave answered most of the frontage along PCC, Walgreens and on the south side to the
east is consistently 10 feet. Most of the 100th is 9-10 feet. Councilmember Bloom asked about the
frontage on the southeast corner. Mr. Chave answered it varies as the paved surface wanders somewhat
within the right-of-way. Generally the right-of-way is 80 feet wide with 60 feet of pavement. Determining
the location of sidewalk relative to the right-of-way line in that location will arise during development.
Councilmember Bloom agreed with Councilmember Johnson’s position that the location of the right-of-
way should be identified before determining the setback.
Councilmember Petso observed the southwest corner, the one where the location of the right-of-way is
unknown, is where Bartells wants to move their store. Mr. Chave answered he knows where the right-of-
way is but cannot identify on a map exactly where it falls relative to the location of pavement.
Councilmember Petso observed with a 12-foot setback in the Walgreen’s area, there would be
construction that is 22-feet back from the current travel lanes. She asked the distance between the travel
lane and the building at the southwest corner with a 12-foot setback. Mr. Chave could not say.
Councilmember Petso asked if it would be less than 22 feet. Mr. Chave answered it entirely depends on
where the right-of-way is relative to the pavement.
Councilmember Petso asked about installing a deceleration lane or right turn lane with a 12-foot setback
near Walgreen’s. Assuming the width necessary for a deceleration or right turn lane was between 10 and
12 feet, Mr. Chave envisioned the sidewalk would curve into the other reserved area. Councilmember
Petso observed if there was a 10-12 foot deceleration/right lane, shifting the sidewalk over would place it
against the building. Mr. Chave answered the building would still be setback 12 feet regardless of what
occurred in the right-of-way. He assumed a pullout would be a short distance. Councilmember Petso
relayed her understanding of Mr. Chave’s explanation that somehow the sidewalk could be moved into
the 12 feet without being against the building. Mr. Chave agreed.
Councilmember Petso referred to the map illustrating the heights in the quadrants and asked where the 30-
foot circle was measured from. Mr. Chave answered it was measured from the property line.
Councilmember Petso remarked except at the southwest corner where it would be in a yet undetermined
location. Mr. Chave said the only thing he did not know was where the pavement was relative to the right-
of-way line. It is fairly consistently 10 feet but varies slightly at the southwest and northwest corners.
Councilmember Petso referred to the northeast corner, assuming there is 10 feet of right-of-way outside of
the pavement, she asked whether the 30 feet would be measured from there. Mr. Chave answered that is
Packet Page 14 of 411
where the setback would be measured from. There is 10 feet available in the right-of-way for frontage
improvements; then there is the building setback, 12 or 20 feet or something in between. The effective
amount of space for sidewalk, planting strip, etc. varies from 22 to 30 feet depending on the setback that
is selected. Councilmember Petso observed the 30 feet is not measured from the property line but from
the existing pavement. Mr. Chave answered it is measured from the back of curb.
Councilmember Mesaros asked Mr. Chave in his experience as a planner the real impact of 12 or 20 feet
setback in terms of what the development looks like. Mr. Chave answered the biggest difference is how
the space and the building is configured. The further back buildings are pushed, the more likely the
amenity space will be in between the building and SR-104 rather than on the back side where the parking
and most of the activities occur.
Councilmember Mesaros observed it would behoove the City to have a 12-foot setback which is really 22
feet from the pavement so the developer has more space behind the building for amenities. Mr. Chave
answered that was the hope; some of the pictures such as Orenco Station in Hillsboro where the buildings
are along a major travel way, most of the landscaping, pedestrian walkways, etc. are behind the buildings.
In Westgate, it was envisioned people would park behind the buildings and the goal was a friendly
experience on the interior of the quadrant so people would park once and walk to businesses instead of
driving. Generally the wider the street setback, the more likely it is the amenities will go there rather than
on the back.
Councilmember Peterson asked for a guess regarding the right-of-way on the southwest corner. Mr.
Chave answered the right-of-way is 80 feet across; generally the pavement is 60 feet wide with a few odd
configurations. There is 80 feet before the setback and the building; the general placement of building
will closely resemble the other areas. He could not be definitive about where the right-of-way lines were
in that area.
Councilmember Peterson observed that had been discussion regarding 12 feet versus 20 feet and asked
whether the Council could choose something in between. Mr. Chave answered yes. Councilmember
Peterson asked whether the setback had to be consistent throughout. Due to concern expressed about
crowding building at the corner, he asked whether the setback at the corner could be 15 feet which might
also address concerns about a future turn lane. Mr. Chave agreed an enhanced setback at the already
identified circle at the corner could be established.
Councilmember Johnson said she wanted to avoid the situation that occurred at Key Bank where there is
not a 5-foot planter strip or a 7-foot sidewalk for a total of 12 feet and the building setback is not 30 feet,
it is approximately 12-15 feet. She asked how that could be avoided on the Bartells corner without the
information from the transportation study. Mr. Chave answered the sidewalk on the southeast corner is
probably more than 7 feet but lacks a planting strip. He noted a planting strip cannot be provided at the
intersection; generally what is desirable is more sidewalk area. That is the goal with the upper stories
stepped back further, etc. The sidewalk in front of Starbucks is in the right-of-way; he was not certain
how much additional space was available.
Councilmember Johnson referred to the circle concept with additional building step back for the 3rd or 4th
story, recalling there was also a landscape emphasis at that key intersection. Mr. Chave answered
language is included in code regarding signature artwork, water feature, etc. within the setback area. The
additional step back for 3rd or 4th floors would result in lower buildings at the setback and additional step
back for taller buildings to create an open feel.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked what harm there would be in leaving the setback as it was while
the traffic study was being completed. Mr. Chave answered the biggest problem for property owners is
uncertainty. Bartells is in the process of purchasing property; they have a significant concern with a 20
foot setback. He was unsure how that would impact their decision to purchase property on that corner.
Packet Page 15 of 411
The study will be completed in early 2015, if a 20-foot setback is established, changing it would require
going back to the Planning Board, City Council, hearings, etc.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas expressed concern the Council was putting the cart before the horse,
noting the Council had allocated a lot of money for a traffic study. Mr. Chave clarified it is a corridor
study. He suggested the Council set a reasonable setback; the corridor study may determine that is
reasonable and no change is needed.
Main Motion
COUNCIL PRESIDENT BUCKSHNIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-
MONILLAS, TO ACCEPT THE PLANNING BOARD’S RECOMMENDATIONS WITH THE
EXCEPTION OF A 16-FOOT SETBACK INSTEAD OF A 20-FOOT SETBACK.
Council President Buckshnis commented the materials in the packet are extremely well done and she
thanked staff for talking with her. She commented on the circle at the intersection for art and development
that did not occur as envisioned such as Key Bank and the Compass apartments. There are enough
parameters in the document with regard to setback, height bonuses, green factor tools, etc. and a 16-foot
setback is in the middle. Mr. Chave commented regardless of the setback that is selected, the Council can
revisit it when the corridor study is complete.
Amendment #1
COUNCILMEMBER PETERSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER MESAROS,
TO AMEND TO KEEP THE 16 FOOT SETBACK FOR BUILDINGS AROUND THE CIRCLE IN
THE CENTER BUT REDUCE THE SETBACK TO THE EAST, WEST NORTH, AND SOUTH TO
12 FEET.
Mr. Chave described how that would accomplished; the language printed on Figure 22.110.010.B,
Building Height Limit and Setback Requirements, regarding the circle would be revised to include an
additional setback as well as amend the corresponding text in the code.
Councilmember Peterson said this will provide more space for something artistic at that corner as well as
address concerns about a tunnel effect or crowding at the intersection. A 12-foot setback would also
provide some of the very narrow lots due to the bluffs some flexibility. He concluded the additional
setback as well as the 5-foot planter and 7-foot sidewalk would allow for better design. A 16-foot setback
in the entire Westgate area would harm some of the outlying properties.
Councilmember Petso did not support a 16-foot setback in only the circle area and preferred at least a 16-
foot setback in the entire Westgate area. If a travel lane or a turn lane is added in the future, the buildings
will be in the way.
Councilmember Bloom did not support the amendment due to the feeling of a building that close as well
as losing the potential for adding a lane in the future. She referred to the feeling at the Lynnwood
Crossing where there are 12-foot sidewalks and at least a 30-foot setback.
Councilmember Peterson acknowledged a corridor study was coming up. He was concerned nothing
would be built if all planning decision were made based on traffic patterns 20 years and felt that was
being very short sighted. In discussions with WSDOT, they have no concerns or plans for additional lanes
or turn lanes in the future. Ideally the corridor study would have preceded the Westgate plan. He
originally was satisfied with a 12-foot setback but was willing to provide a larger setback at the center.
Although the focus has been on the center, there are some very important properties in the outlying parts
of the zone that will be very detrimentally affected by a 16-foot setback all around.
Packet Page 16 of 411
Councilmember Bloom relayed her understanding the traffic study did not say there would not be
problems in future. It said there would be an increase of approximately 400 vehicle and level of service D
would be maintained at the intersection. Mr. Chave recalled the study projected some increase in traffic
but found LOS in the area would not decline even if nothing was done such as turn lanes, widening, etc.
WSDOT has no interest in widening SR-104. In most communities with a highway like this running
through a key area such as Westgate, adding more pavement is detrimental because the result is not a
better LOS but more cars. The setbacks are not intended for additional paving but rather pedestrian,
bicycle, etc. amenities. He did not anticipate the corridor study would indicate a need for additional travel
lanes.
Councilmember Bloom reiterated the traffic study did not say everything would be fine in 20 years; it said
there would be more traffic and the LOS D would be maintained. She noted in same areas of the City
such as Perrinville, there are projects to raise LOS D to B. She questioned why maintaining a LOS D with
increased traffic was considered positive. Mr. Chave explained LOS D is the established LOS for that
intersection which is fairly typical for high volume, active intersections where a certain wait is expected.
Councilmember Bloom noted the corridor study will address not only LOS but also ingress/egress, bike
lanes, and other improvements to enhance the area. Under the current configuration it is difficult get into
Bartells, etc.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas relayed she visits Westgate almost daily. She was concerned a 12-foot
setback would produce the tunnel feeling she experienced in Redmond. She could live with a 16-foot
setback on all properties, noting a 20-foot setback was probably excessive. She asked Councilmember
Johnson her feeling about a 16-foot setback on all properties. Councilmember Johnson commented it was
a compromise but she still preferred to retain the current standards, wait 3-4 month to complete the
corridor study and make modifications based on data rather than hypothetical. The consultant indicated
they could complete the study within the first quarter next year. Councilmember Fraley-Monillas
suggested the Council approve the rest of the plan and wait to change the setback based on information
from the corridor study rather than picking numbers out of a hat.
Councilmember Mesaros commented an argument can also be made to approve Councilmember
Peterson’s amendment and then make changes as necessary when the corridor study is completed.
Councilmember Mesaros called for the question.
Action on Amendment #1
UPON ROLL CALL, AMENDMENT FAILED (3-4), COUNCIL PRESIDENT BUCKSHNIS AND
COUNCILMEMBER PETERSON AND MESAROS VOTING YES; AND COUNCILMEMBERS
BLOOM, FRALEY-MONILLAS, JOHNSON AND PETSO VOTING NO.
Amendment #2
COUNCILMEMBER PETSO MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BLOOM, TO
AMEND TO ADD A PROVISION THAT REQUIRED SETBACKS AREAS, WHETHER ON
PROTECTED HILLSIDES OR NOT, MAY NOT BE USED TO SATISFY MORE THAN 50% OF
THE AMENITY SPACE OR OPEN SPACE REQUIREMENTS.
Councilmember Petso explained the purpose of this amendment was to help avoid covering an entire
parcel with construction and to encourage some of amenity space to be set into the development and not
located directly on SR104. She recalled discussion regarding the Compass building and the fact that
sitting on a bench on SR-104 did not necessarily constitute an amenity for everyone. Having the setback
only count as 50% of the amenity space will ensure some of the amenity space will be provided elsewhere
on the site.
Packet Page 17 of 411
For Councilmember Bloom, Councilmember Petso explained Council President Buckshnis’ motion was
to adopt the entire plan with the exception of changing the setback from 12 to 16 feet. In the proposed
plan, the entire setback area can be counted as amenity space. Under her amendment, the setback could
only account for half the required amenity space. Councilmember Bloom expressed support for the
amendment as it will resolve some of the concerns Mr. Chave relayed that the developer would provide
all the amenity space in front.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked Mr. Chave for his input regarding the proposed amendment. Mr.
Chave referred to the discussion regarding amenity space on the McDonald’s property. Under existing
code 8,000 square feet of the property is reserved for open space. That increases to 31,000 under the
provisions as written. The required setback would not be sufficient to accommodate all the amenity space;
some would need to be provided in the back or inside the property. His concern with the proposed
amendment was taking away usable area for a building, parking, circulation, etc.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas provided an example using Councilmember Petso’s amendment; if
1,000 square feet of amenity space was required, only 500 could be in the setback and the other 500
would need to be provided elsewhere on the site. She asked whether it would simply be a wash if the
property were required to provide 1,000 square feet of setback. Mr. Chave explained if there was 1,000
square feet of setback area but only 500 could be used for amenity space plus an additional 500 square
feet of amenity space equated to 1,500 square feet instead of only 1,000 square feet.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked whether having all the amenity space in the setback would be
desirable. Mr. Chave answered it was unlikely a development could provide all the amenity space in the
setback but the bigger the setback area is, the more likely it will be used as amenity space. Using the
McDonalds example, the required amenity space is 11,400 square feet. Even with a 20-foot setback, there
is only 8,000 square feet in the setback for amenity space; another 3,400 square feet must be provided
elsewhere on the site. If the area for building, parking, circulation is significantly reduced, no
development will occur.
Councilmember Mesaros appreciated Councilmember Petso’s concern about having amenity space on
SR-104, relaying the best solution is a 12-foot setback so amenity space will be on the interior of the
property. Mr. Chave commented on the interaction between the setback and the right-of-way. Sidewalks,
planting strips, etc. can be located in the 10 feet of right-of-way; seating areas must be located on the
property which means they will not be right on SR-104.
Councilmember Petso asked whether the calculation regarding amenity and setback space done for the
McDonald’s had been done for any of the corner sites. Mr. Chave answered it had not. On the
McDonald’s site the open space can be provided on the slopes. The corner properties do not have slopes
so a combination of open space and amenity space needs to be provided on the property. Councilmember
Petso observed the Bartells corner would also has a wooded slope.
Council President Buckshnis called for the question.
Action on Amendment #2
AMENDMENT FAILED (2-5), COUNCILMEMBERS PETSO AND BLOOM VOTING YES.
Amendment #3
COUNCILMEMBER PETSO MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BLOOM, TO
AMEND THE COMMERCIAL PARKING TO REQUIRE 1 SPACE PER 350 SQUARE FEET OF
COMMERCIAL SPACE, NOT 1 SPACE PER 500 SQUARE FEET.
Councilmember Petso explained the purpose of the amendment was to help ensure viable commercial
activity remains at Westgate. She recalled the effective parking presently available at QFC or PCC was
Packet Page 18 of 411
approximately 1 space per 350 square feet. She preferred that ratio instead of 1 space per 500 square feet
which is even less parking than was approved for Highway 99, an amount she felt utterly inappropriate
for Westgate.
Councilmember Bloom expressed support for the amendment, recalling not having enough parking was
one of the concerns expressed by people who have issues with the Westgate plan. There are problems
with parking now and many are concerned about what the parking will be like if less is required.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked how 1 space per 500 square feet was determined. Mr. Chave
answered that was the amount recommended by the UW Team based on their experience. The leaders of
the UW Team included Julie Kreigh, an architect, and Jill Sterrett, a planner and private consultant. Those
ratios make sense when the existing parking is considered. He emphasized the parking requirements are
minimums; the fear with providing too much parking is areas are not utilized effectively. For example,
there are areas in Westgate where parking is tucked behind building to meet parking requirements but it is
not functional parking. The preference is for a blended rate to allow uses to share parking. The parking
standards in the current code date from the 1960s and 70s where the peak parking demand was used to
determine the parking standard. As a result, many legacy developments have large expanses of parking
that are not used on a daily basis. The intent in the Westgate plan was to allow parking from a variety of
businesses to overflow into other parking areas as parking demands ebb and flow.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas observed QFC has 1 space per 475 and PCC has 1 space per 486 square
feet. Mr. Chave answered that is parking provided on their property; they also use parking elsewhere in
the development which is why a blended rate makes sense.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas relayed she has been told developments such as QFC will build as much
parking as they need; they won’t under-build the parking because people won’t shop there. Mr. Chave
noted one of the reasons PCC located on that site was the substantial amount of parking in the area and
they likely have locked up the parking via lease agreements. He was not familiar with QFC’s lease
arrangement but their parking clearly overflows into other areas. One of the differences is property
ownership; QFC owns their property and will ensure whatever they do supports their business; the same
is true for Bartells.
Action on Amendment #3
UPON ROLL CALL, AMENDMENT FAILED (3-4), COUNCILMEMBERS BLOOM, JOHNSON
AND PETSO VOTING YES; AND COUNCIL PRESIDENT BUCKSHNIS AND
COUNCILMEMBERS FRALEY-MONILLAS, MESAROS AND PETERSON VOTING NO.
Amendment #4
COUNCILMEMBER PETSO MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BLOOM, TO
AMEND THE MOTION TO CHANGE THE PARKING REQUIREMENT TO 1 SPACE PER 400
SQUARE FEET RATHER THAN 1 SPACE PER 500 SQUARE FEET.
Councilmember Petso suggested Councilmembers who feel Westgate should have less parking than
Highway 99 indicate why. Councilmember Peterson responded developers are smart when building and
these are parking minimums not restrictions.
Councilmember Mesaros said another reason is Westgate is much more walkable than Highway 99. He
frequently walks from his home to shop at Westgate.
Council President Buckshnis said many employees park in the Westgate parking lot; changing that would
free up parking. In addition there will be less need for parking as lifestyles change and people walk and
take the bus more. She referred to areas such as Charlotte where there is a blended parking rate.
Packet Page 19 of 411
Councilmember Petso asked why it was presumed developers would be more clever at Westgate than on
Highway 99.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas expressed support for Councilmember Petso’s amendment, commenting
commercial areas should have similar parking requirements.
Councilmember Bloom expressed support for the amendment, commenting some developers may focus
on residential and, as has happened in downtown, retail and commercial is an afterthought and there is not
enough parking.
Councilmember Peterson commented he would have supported a less restrictive parking ratio on
Highway 99. Demographics have shown the younger generation and the retiring generation want to get
out of their cars, use public transportation and live in walkable neighborhoods. The whole point of the
Westgate plan was to create a walkable neighborhood. Forcing more cars, parking and asphalt into the
development is not looking at what’s happening in the real world. With the type of housing proposed at
Westgate, he was surprised Councilmembers were supporting this parking ratio.
Action on Amendment #4
AMENDMENT CARRIED (4-3). COUNCILMEMBERS PETERSON AND MESAROS AND
COUNCIL PRESIDENT BUCKSHNIS VOTING NO.
Mayor Earling declared a brief recess.
Amendment #5
COUNCILMEMBER PETSO MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BLOOM, TO
AMEND TO REQUIRE THE FIRST 45 FEET OF BUILDING DEPTH FACING THE STREET,
SIDEWALK, AMENITY SPACE OR OTHER PUBLIC AREA MAY NOT BE USED FOR
PARKING.
Councilmember Petso explained the purpose of this amendment was to avoid parking cars near public
spaces and encourage the use of such spaces for viable and diverse commercial activity.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked Mr. Chave to comment on the affect this would have. Mr. Chave
answered the amendment would remove any parking on the ground floor as most buildings would have
one of the items Councilmember Petso cited on the front of their building. The provision for 45 feet
comes from downtown where there is a uniform frontage. In Westgate some of the pedestrian activity will
be on the sidewalks on SR-104 or 100th; hopefully most of the activity would be on the backside.
Providing a sidewalk to link SR-104 to the area in back would remove another area for parking. In
essence the amendment would eliminate any parking on the ground floor which removes flexibility for
tuck-under parking on one side of the building. His overall concern with the amendment was eliminating
flexibility.
Councilmember Bloom observed the amendment prohibits parking in the first 45 feet on the street side.
Mr. Chave answered the amendment was not just the street; it was also sidewalk, amenity and other
public area. Councilmember Bloom assumed the purpose was so ingress/egress to parking would not
interfere with amenity space. Councilmember Petso envisioned amenity space configured as a plaza;
surrounding the plaza with a Starbucks might be cool but surrounding it with underground parking for the
residents would be less cool. She did not want to at a table next to tuck-under parking. Her intent was to
ensure street frontage was used for commercial space that complements the amenity space.
Action on Amendment #5
AMENDMENT FAILED (2-5), COUNCILMEMBERS PETSO AND BLOOM VOTING YES.
Amendment #6
Packet Page 20 of 411
COUNCILMEMBER JOHNSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETSO, TO
AMEND THE MOTION TO RETAIN THE CURRENT 20-FOOT SETBACK.
Councilmember Peterson raised a point of order, stating Councilmember Johnson’s amendment changed
the intent of the original motion. Mayor Earling ruled Councilmember Johnson’s motion changed the
intent of main motion. Councilmember Petso appealed the ruling of the chair, stating the main motion
combined adoption of the ordinance with a change to the setback from 20 feet to 16 feet which makes
Councilmember Johnson’s amendment in order. It was the consensus of the Council that Councilmember
Johnson’s motion was in order.
Councilmember Johnson explained the Council has two choices, 1) retain the current standard, wait for
the transportation analysis and then make a change, or 2) make a change now and when the transportation
analysis is completed, make another change. She suggested staying the course, maintaining the current
standards and changing it as necessary when the transportation analysis is complete.
Action on Amendment #6
UPON ROLL CALL, AMENDMENT CARRIED (4-3), COUNCILMEMBERS BLOOM, FRALEY-
MONILLAS, JOHNSON AND PETSO VOTING YES; AND COUNCIL PRESIDENT BUCKSHNIS
AND COUNCILMEMBERS MESAROS AND PETERSON VOTING NO.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas said she did not agree necessarily with the 20 foot setback but she felt
the transportation study should be completed first and it will be done within the first quarter of 2015.
Although making changes will require going back through the Planning Board process, that may be
required anyway depending on the findings of the traffic study.
Councilmember Peterson expressed concern if the Council approves a setback and the corridor study
finds a different setback is appropriate, the Planning Board process will have to start again. Although it
pained him to do so, he made the following motion:
Motion to Table
COUNCILMEMBER PETERSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-
MONILLAS, TO TABLE DISCUSSION UNTIL THE CORRIDOR STUDY IS COMPLETE.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
12. WOODWAY POLICE SERVICES CONTRACT
Police Chief Al Compaan advised the current agreement between the City and Woodway for police
services expires December 31, 2014. The draft contact adds a CIP escalator and changes the incremental
15 -minute billing rate the City charges Woodway for police services.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked if Chief Compaan had provided the rest of the statistics. Chief
Compaan answered he sent statistics for the past two years to Council this morning.
Councilmember Bloom observed the packet did not include information regarding the comparative
percentage of tax allocated to police services in Woodway versus Edmonds. She recalled that was
discussed when the Council last reviewed the contract and was part of the reason she voted against the
contract. Chief Compaan said he did not provide that information; it was his understanding Senior
Executive Council Assistant Jana Spellman was researching that for Council.
Councilmember Petso referred to an email she received from Councilmember Mesaros that contained
different terms than in the packet. She asked Councilmember Mesaros to comment on the status of his
proposal. Councilmember Mesaros relayed he had a very productive discussion with Woodway Mayor
Nichols last Friday but they were not able to reach agreement on the terms he suggested. He felt there was
Packet Page 21 of 411
more research to be done to reach an agreement between the City and Woodway including the statistics
and approach offered by Mr. Wambolt.
COUNCILMEMBER MESAROS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-
MONILLAS, TO APPROVE THE AGREEMENT AS PRESENTED BY CHIEF COMPAAN WITH
A 6 MONTH TERM TO PROVIDE TIME TO REVIEW STATISTICS AND NEGOTIATE
FURTHER WITH WOODWAY.
Councilmember Bloom did not support the motion for the same reason she did not support the previous
contract. She recalled the percentage of tax assessment for Woodway residents was much lower than
Edmonds residents were assessed for police services. She pointed out the former $36,000/year contract
and the current $40,000/year was not enough to cover an additional police officer. Minimally the contract
should fund one more officer when Edmonds is providing 18 hours/day of service to Woodway.
Assuming the motion passed, she was hopeful the issues she raised could be considered in the six month
timeframe.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas commented the City had not done a good job of determining the real
cost of the contract such as vehicles, training, supplies, etc. Further, the issue of development at Pt. Wells
and the potential for 5,000 more people is still up in air. She referred to her discussion with Chief
Compaan regarding the amount of crime and traffic from a development with 5,000 residents. She
suggested those issues be discussed with Woodway during the six month term of the contract.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT BUCKSHNIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER
MESAROS, TO EXTEND THE MEETING FOR 20 MINUTES. MOTION CARRIED (6-1)
COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-MONILLAS VOTING NO.
Council President Buckshnis recalled this same argument was made the last time the contract was
renewed, attempting to charge Woodway for a full-time contract when Edmonds provides part-time
services. She expressed concern with giving up the contract with Woodway when the revenue funds
approximately half of one employee. She did not object to a six month term to allow further research and
negotiation. She asked whether the Edmonds Police logged overtime when assisting in Woodway. Chief
Compaan agreed there had been little overtime; if an officer is reaching the end of a shift, he/she is
relieved with an oncoming officer. Under the terms of the contract, the City bills Woodway in 15-minute
increments for officer responses beyond the base 10 calls/month. Council President Buckshnis relayed the
City has been providing Woodway police services for 28-29 years; there is a great deal of social equity as
Woodway residents shop, dine, etc. in Edmonds.
Councilmember Peterson observed the contract states Edmonds responds to Priority 1 and 2 in-process
calls. He asked whether Edmonds responds to Priority 1 and 2 calls under mutual aid agreements the City
has with neighboring communities. Chief Compaan explained if Woodway has an officer on duty and
they assist Edmonds on a call, Woodway does not bill them. If Edmonds assists when a Woodway officer
is on duty, the City does not bill Woodway. Under the terms of the agreement, Edmonds bills Woodway
when they do not have an officer on duty. Councilmember Peterson asked if the City discontinued the
contract with Woodway and 911 received a call for a panic alarm which is a Priority 2 in-progress call,
would Edmonds police respond to that call. Chief Compaan answered yes if it is a life and death situation;
alarms are not typically life or death. He felt it best to have a written agreement for police and fire.
Councilmember Peterson assumed the Police Department would respond to certain calls whether there
was an agreement in place or not. Chief Compaan agreed. Councilmember Peterson was willing to
research issues further during the six months but felt the contract has served Edmonds and Woodway well
in the past.
Packet Page 22 of 411
Councilmember Johnson expressed support for the Woodway contract, finding it fair and equitable. As
Mr. Wambolt stated, the City would lose revenue by not approving the contract but would not lose
anything by approving the contract. She asked what happened when the current contract expired. Chief
Compaan said the Council could continue the existing contract for six months or adopt the proposed
contract for a six month period.
Councilmember Mesaros relayed the intent of his motion was to adopt the new contract with a six month
term. He relayed his intent was not to discontinue the contract with Woodway but to reach consensus on a
longer term agreement such as five years.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas observed in an emergency situation, Edmonds Police would respond to
Shoreline, Lynnwood, Mukilteo, Brier, etc. Chief Compaan agreed, under mutual aid. He noted some of
the smaller cities in northeast Snohomish County have contracts for police services with Snohomish
County. The proposed contract between the City and Woodway provides a higher level of service than
might be available under mutual aid.
To the comment that the City has nothing to lose by approving the contract with Woodway,
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas pointed out police officers could be doing other things such as crime
prevention if they were not responding to Woodway. Chief Compaan agreed when officers are called to
Woodway, they are not available to respond in Edmonds and it could cause a delayed response in the
Edmonds. He assured more emergent calls take priority whether in Edmonds or Woodway.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas requested any information that is available on Pt. Wells.
Councilmember Bloom expressed support for re-evaluating the contract in six months.
Mayor Earling asked whether Woodway was agreeable to a six month term. Councilmember Mesaros
answered he mentioned it in passing to Mayor Nichols but had not waited for a response.
MOTION CARRIED (6-1), COUNCILMEMBER JOHNSON VOTING NO.
13. PRESENTATION AND POTENTIAL ACTION ON THE PROPOSED EDMONDS DOWNTOWN
BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT WORK PROGRAM AND BUDGET FOR YEAR 2015
This item rescheduled to November 10 via action taken under Agenda Item 5.
14. LIGHTHOUSE LAW GROUP PLCC AGREEMENT RENEWAL
Council President Buckshnis explained the packet contains the old agreement and the new agreement.
The new agreement contains a new Section 4 whereby Lighthouse would pursue an hourly rate structure
if the City wanted to pursue litigation on small matters such as liens and utility bills. The Council can
approve the agreement as written, remove Section 4, or have it reviewed by another attorney.
City Attorney Jeff Taraday clarified what Paragraph 4 is intended to do. Under no circumstances would
Lighthouse bill the City on an hourly basis; Lighthouse’s contract with City would still be a flat fee.
Paragraph 4 would allow them to keep track of their time on hourly basis and bill/collect from a third
party under certain circumstances. For example, Lighthouse is asked to initiate a lawsuit to foreclose on a
$5,000 utility lien; if the court awarded attorney fees to the prevailing party, Lighthouse would receive the
attorney fees.
COUNCILMEMBER MESAROS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-
MONILLAS, TO APPROVE THE LIGHTHOUSE LAW GROUP AGREEMENT RENEWAL.
Packet Page 23 of 411
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas commented if the agreement is substantially same with the exception
Paragraph 4, it was not necessary to have another attorney review it.
Councilmember Petso said ordinary practice would suggest Mr. Taraday should not write his own
contract. When she was asked if outside counsel should review the contract, she said of course. However,
she would likely support the motion as the agreement had not been changed significantly and it was
doubtful the Council would support having it reviewed by another attorney.
Council President Buckshnis assured the only change was the addition of Paragraph 4.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT BUCKSHNIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER
PETERSON, TO EXTEND THE MEETING FOR 7 MINUTES. MOTION CARRIED (6-1),
COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-MONILLAS VOTING NO.
15. MAYOR'S COMMENTS
Mayor Earling reminded the Council was meeting on Monday, November 10 due to due to Veterans Day.
He reporting having a great time during trick or treat on Halloween until the rain started; then many
people discovered the awnings. He reported on last Saturday’s open house for Jacobsen’s Marine; a
fabulous facility and a great addition to the community.
In response to public comments, Mayor Earling explained the $10,000 analysis by Tetra Tech was
nothing more than preliminary work because the City had no idea about the engineering challenges. He
had not anticipated the analysis would provide hard costs but it provided some measure of what the
pricing might be. Staff is in process of scheduling a meeting with BNSF.
16. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Student Representative Eslami reported the Cross Country Team took the last spot for State.
Councilmember Petso congratulated the Cross country Team, noting they performed extremely well to
earn the last spot. She will work with staff to revise her proposed budget amendment regarding a peer
review of the Tetra Tech study as it was clear from the Mayor’s and the public’s comments that an
amendment funding a more in-depth study and peer review was necessary.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas reported on the Museum auction which Mayor Earling also attended.
She relayed that thoughts and prayers are with the families and students at Marysville-Pilchuck High
School. She has family that attends the school but they were not in the in cafeteria. She noted anyone with
children could have been one of those parents.
Councilmember Peterson reminded of the Veterans Day ceremony on November 11 at 11:11 at the
Veterans Plaza in front of Public Safety Building. He reported handing out upwards of 2,000 treats on
Halloween. He reminded tomorrow is Election Day and voters have until 8 p.m. tomorrow to drop off
their ballots at the Edmonds Library.
Councilmember Mesaros commented he was surprised at the number of people downtown on Halloween.
Mayor Earling remarked it was a smaller crowd than usual.
Council President Buckshnis reaffirmed her appointment of Nichol Hughes to the Economic
Development Commission. She reminded of the Five Corners Roundabout ribbon cutting on Friday.

Presentation on the Proposed Edmonds Downtown Business Improvement District Work Program and
Budget for Year 2015
Recommendation
The Edmonds Downtown Business Improvement District Board is requesting that the City Council
approve the attached proposed work program and budget for year 2015.
Previous Council Action
On January 15, 2013 the City Council approved Ordinance 3909 establishing a business improvement
district within a portion of the City of Edmonds.
Narrative
Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) are designed to aid general economic development in business
districts and to facilitate merchant and service business cooperation. A BID is a local self-help funding
mechanism that allows businesses and/or property owners within a defined area to establish a special
assessment district. In Washington State BIDs are authorized by statute, Revised Code of Washington
35.87A.
The Edmonds City Council approved Ordinance 3909 on January 15, 2013 that established the Edmonds
Downtown Business Improvement District (EDBID). Consequently Edmonds City Code Section 3.75
provides the City's regulations and requirements related to the EDBID. Subsection 120 thereof requires
that the EDBID recommend and submit annual work programs and budget to the City Council for review
and consideration by October 1st of each year. The EDBID met this required deadline by submitting its
Work Plan and Budget for Year 2015 (Attachment 1) on October 1, 2014.

INTRODUCTION
The Edmonds Downtown Business Improvement District, now doing business as Ed! Edmonds
Downtown Alliance (the “Alliance”), was approved on January 15, 2013 under Ordinance 3909. The
following is the third year work program and plan for the district, effective from approval by Edmonds
City Council through December 31, 2015. It includes a description of the Alliance, proposed services,
sources of funding, annual budget and allocations.
PROPOSED 2015 SERVICES
The services to be provided in this plan include items required for the promotion and
enhancement of the Alliance and to meet the needs identified by members of the Alliance.
The services are not intended to take the place of, but add to or supplement those services
provided by the City and/or other Edmonds based organizations. The services will be
executed under the direction of the Alliance Members Advisory Board.
A. Non-profit Organization
The Members Advisory Board formed a non-profit organization incorporated under
Washington law and received Section 501(c)(3) status with the Internal Revenue Service
as a public charity. The Alliance will begin working with the City to discuss potential
contracting arrangements between the City and the Nonprofit Corporation for executing
Packet Page 102 of 411
Approved by board for submittal to Council 9/25/14
the responsibilities, including independent financial review. In addition, the Alliance
may engage the services of a local attorney and/or tax specialist, pro bono and partially
compensated, to assist with legal matters, including filing of taxes and reports for
Section 501(c)(3) status with the Internal Revenue Service.
B. Administration
The Alliance Board may contract with an individual(s) to provide general administration
regarding the operations and maintenance of the Alliance.
Operating expenses will include, but are not limited to, supplies and insurance, post
office box rental, mailings to members, and web domain and hosting fees. Legal,
accounting and professional services will be contracted on an as-needed basis. When
appropriate, pro-bono services will be used.
C. Assessment and Evaluation
The Alliance recognizes the important responsibility it has to its members to
demonstrate effective and efficient use of Alliance resources. As such, the Alliance will
include reasonable and appropriate program assessment and evaluation efforts within
its work plans. This may include internal and external initiatives such as member
surveys, market research, third party or independent impact analysis, etc.
D. Member Engagement and Outreach
Creating a collaborative and effective business district is a high priority for the Alliance.
Communications to members will take place regularly and in a cost-effective manner. A
member meeting will be held in April 2015 to elect board members and as a forum to
seek input into the mission and activities of the Alliance. The Alliance has moved to
electronic notifications, other than by request, the annual member meeting and ballot
mailings, to save member resources.
E. Friends of Ed! - Business and Civic Collaboration and Outreach
Partnering with existing organizations in Edmonds will help to strengthen the mission of
the Alliance and the shared objectives of our partner organizations. The Alliance will
continue to maintain a comprehensive list of organizations, known as the Friends of Ed!
and will coordinate a bi-annual meeting to discuss community priorities.
F. Marketing
Packet Page 103 of 411
Approved by board for submittal to Council 9/25/14
Currently, the Alliance is in the process of finalizing website design and branding and
implementing our umbrella share program. In 2015, the Alliance anticipates continuing
marketing outreach efforts internally and externally by exploring additional visual
branding campaigns and products. Ideas include: newsletter template, new business
welcome kit, print ads, window clings, tote bags, and a specific targeted marketing
campaign for “local first” advertising.
G. Professional Business Resources
Being mindful of by-appointment members’ needs, the Alliance will offer services as
determined to be beneficial to the members. Examples include, but are not limited to,
business directories, professional services, seminars, and assistance with social media,
search engine optimization, etc.
In 2015, the Alliance will begin planning, research and implementation of an electronic
physical downtown directory that includes all member businesses.
H. Parking
Members of the Alliance parking committee will continue working in concert with city
efforts related to parking.
Based on 2014 committee research, underutilized parking spaces and areas where
parking is difficult have been identified. Potential solutions to be explored in 2015
include: better signage and visual identification for existing public parking and after
hours parking lot availability.
The committee will continue to identify solutions, including better walkability and
education of business owners regarding employee permit parking areas.
I. Appearance and Environment
Research projects and costs related to enhancing the appearance of the Alliance District.
Projects may include, but are not limited to, the umbrella program, adding additional
garbage/recycling cans, identifying public restroom options, crosswalk safety and
beautification, installation of new and fewer 3 hour parking signs, improved alley way
appearance and walkability, programs to encourage building owners to think beyond
beige color palates for buildings and enhancing vacant storefront appearance.
Packet Page 104 of 411
Approved by board for submittal to Council 9/25/14
J. Small Grants Program
The Alliance is working on creating a pilot Small Grants Program to help harness the
power of our local business community. The program will utilize a grassroots
approach to identifying projects and allocating funds for approved grants as long as
they fall within the Alliance's mission and scope of work provided in Ordinance
3909. The Alliance board is working on finalizing the Grant criteria, eligibility, process,
requirements and timeline in 2014. We anticipate opening the program to eligible
applicants in 2015.
K. Research of Potential Boundary Adjustment
In coordination with the City and stakeholders, the Alliance Board will research the
potential of boundary adjustments to include some businesses not currently included in
the Alliance boundaries. The alliance will report its findings to the city council.
L. 2016 Work Plan and Budget
The Alliance Advisory Board will prepare a 2016 work program, plan and annual budget
to present to Edmonds City Council in October 2015.
II. PROPOSED SOURCES OF FUNDING
A. Assessments
Assessments will be collected in accordance with Ordinance 3909.
B. Grants and Donations
The 501(c)(3) organization formed by the Alliance may pursue and accept grants and
donations from private institutions, the City, other public entities or individuals and
other non-profit organizations, in accordance with State and Federal law.
III. ANNUAL BUDGET
A. Budgeted Revenue
The projected assessments collected for 2015 will be approximately $89,000.
B. Budgeted Expenditures
In accordance with the scope of work as approved in Ordinance 3909, it is anticipated
that the budgeted expenditures for the 2015 operating year of the Alliance will be as

the Alliance may choose to eliminate some expenditures in order to balance the
budget.

To the Edmonds City Council,
I am requesting the members of the Edmonds City Council (ECC) read and reply to the
following legal issue regarding the exclusion of the “condo group” from the Edmonds BID.
The law is specific and definitive: RCW 35.87A.010 (1) “To establish, after a petition
submitted by the operators responsible for sixty percent of the assessments by businesses and
multifamily residential or mixed-use projects within the area, parking and business improvement
areas, hereafter referred to as area or areas, for the following purposes…” (highlighted
emphasis added)
Nowhere within the RCW’s is an exemption authority defined, or granted, to anyone
under Washington State law. The law specifically states “and”, thus inclusive regarding
multifamily residential or mixed-use projects.
I am requesting in writing from the Edmonds City Attorney, to cite the RCW which
grants this, and his perceived authority under Washington State law, specifically the legal right
“to exclude”. This is a formal request from the City of Edmonds.
RCW 35.87A.080 “the legislative authority may make a reasonable classification of
businesses and multifamily residential or mixed use projects”. (highlighted emphasis added)
It is puzzling how one could advise the ECC, or allow to be advised to the ECC that a
“reasonable” assessment for the residential family units, within the BID area would be “zero”,
when legal application of existing Washington State law, defines that the benefit received by any
such class, need only be “indirect”.
RCW 64.34.304, “O”
“(1) Except as provided in subsection (2) of this section, and subject to the provisions of
the declaration, the association may:….…
(o) Join in a petition for the establishment of a parking and business improvement area,
participate in the rate payers' board or other advisory body set up by the legislative authority for
operation of a parking and business improvement area, and pay special assessments levied by
the legislative authority on a parking and business improvement area encompassing the
condominium property for activities and projects which benefit the condominium directly or
indirectly;” (highlighted emphasis added)
Packet Page 107 of 411
2
“Indirectly” is anything, measurable or non-measurable, identifiable, or non-identifiable.
The City Council was apparently advised in direct violation of RCW35.87A.010,
RCW35.87A.100 (4) and RCW64.34.304, to cite but a few State laws. Nothing within the law
allows an exemption, or a “reasonable” assessment of zero, or, even close to zero. The right to
determine a “reasonable classification” is defined within the body of RCW35.87A, an exclusion,
under the law is not defined as a prerogative option.
The RCW cited above regarding condo’s/multi-family, grants the power to join, start, or
be assessed by a BID, even if the measure of benefit to them is “indirect”, which is undefinable.
As such, it shall include anything “indirect”, such as property appreciation, enhancement of the
environment, living next to a thriving business district, enjoyment of life in the district, visual
appreciation, pride in the Edmonds business district, greater pride in Edmonds, anything…
unmeasurable, intangible… “indirect”.
To further illustrate failure to accurately follow State law: RCW35.87A.100 (4) ”A
statement that the businesses and multifamily residential or mixed-use projects in the area
established by the ordinance shall be subject to the provisions of the special assessments
authorized by RCW 35.87A.010;” (highlighted & underlined emphasis added) “Shall”, grants no
permissive interpretation of the RCW. The law is basic, the “condo group” was excluded, in
violation of Washington State law.
As I also have numerous Edmonds City documents which cite the “citizens” of Edmonds
will benefit from the EDBID, as such, the “condo’s” will also benefit from the assessment,
including a letter from the Mayor, and numerous EDBID documents to repudiate any claim to
the contrary. Including the Edmonds BID website itself which cites: “RESIDENTIAL
BENEFITS An attractive and thriving downtown is also a crucial element of a vibrant
residential community. People want to live in neighborhoods where public areas are
beautiful, streets are clean and where businesses prosper. A BID can provide services
that will communicate to residents that Edmonds is where they want to shop, eat, find
professional services and conduct business.” (typo’s from EDBID website corrected)
Thank you for your reply.
Respectfully,
Brent Malgarin.

To the Edmonds City Council,
Subject: Excessively high rate assessed on Edmonds BID “Members”
The following are facts, not opinion.
At the Edmonds City Council meeting January 15, 2013, page 6, “Ms. Stiller summarized the
goal was to create an affordable rate structure. The most any business in downtown Edmonds
would pay is $600/year. The proposed Edmonds assessments are about 10% of what the West
Seattle and University District BIDs assesses businesses. The idea is if everyone pays a little,
everyone will benefit a lot.” (highlight emphasis added) As a citizen I expect testimony
presented at a City Council meeting to be factual, under Washington State Law
RCW35.87A.060 it is classified as “evidence”.
Since the “University BIA” was cited as an example of a BID (they call theirs a BIA), let us
examine the facts, about the University BIA (UBIA).
First, they are assessing their multi-family and residential units, businesses and hotel/motels
just as the law mandates, RCW 63.34.304 “O”, which Edmonds did not do in violation of
several RCW’s.
The following is the University District BIA’s new 2014 application for the UBIA, their old
UBIA, city ordinance # 122212, 120304 and 118412, dating back to 1996, have always
included assessment(s) on all properties, businesses, and hotels/motels within their BIA area.
The other fascinating fact is they understand that the BID/BIA statute was never intended to be
a permanent cash generating machine, it has a term of length.
“PETITION TO ESTABLISH:
University District Business Improvement Area
TO THE CITY COUNCIL OF SEATTLE:
We, the owners and operators of the businesses, multi-family residential and
mixed-use projects (collectively, "Ratepayers") located within the proposed
District, hereby petition the City of Seattle to establish a five year
Parking and Business Improvement Area (BIA) as authorized by the RCW Chapter
35.87A, within the boundaries described in Exhibit A for the purpose of
providing programs and other services which improve the general economic
climate and enhance the environment of the University District in Seattle.
Packet Page 109 of 411
2
This proposal is intended to replace the existing BIA that was authorized by
the Seattle City Council on November 25, 1996 with Ordinance Number 118412.
The existing BIA has been doing business as the “University District BIA”
since that time. This proposal has two parts: first, to adopt a new business
plan for five years; and second, to expand the BIA’s boundaries to include
the entirety of the district.”
(highlighted emphasis added)
The following is from the University BIA website (udistrictpartnership.org).
“Business Improvement Areas (BIA) Legislation
The UDistrictFund will be governed pursuant to the Revised Code of the State of Washington,
Chapter on “Parking and Business Improvement Areas”, 35.87A." The law includes provisions
that:
•Allows BIAs to finance services ranging from security to cleaning, marketing to parking
management, planning to special events.
•Allows revenue for improvements and services to be raised from a special assessment
based upon benefits received from improvements and services.
•Requires petition support from property owners and/or businesses representing more than
60% of the assessments to be paid.
•Once the BIA is adopted, the assessment is mandatory to all Ratepayers according to the
BIA ordinance. A BIA is a private sector initiated mechanism to manage a downtown or
neighborhood business district. It is Funded by an assessment on properties and/or
businesses that is imposed by the City Council at the request of the Ratepayers. A BIA
assessment is similar to the “Common Area Maintenance” fees found in suburban shopping
malls, office parks, and planned residential communities. These funds are used to improve
specific areas through increased maintenance, additional safety initiatives, design
improvements, special events, transportation and parking, and other activities selected and
managed by the local BIA Board to benefit the district.” (highlighted emphasis added)
The following is the 2012 rate structure for the University BIA: From the Seattle City website,
old pricing (( )) and 2012 CPI adjusted pricing.
“I. Retail/commercial uses
Ground Floor.... (( $.114 )) $.12 sq. ft.
Upper Floor.... (( $.057 )) $.06 sq. ft.
Below Ground Floor.... (( $.057)) $.06 sq. ft.
II. Commercial Parking.... (( $5.72 )) $5.92 / space
III. Full Service Hotels/Motels .... (( $11.44 )) $11.84 / room
IV. Apartments.... (( $5.72 )) $5.92 / unit
V. Property Owners.... (( $.057 )) $.06 sq. ft.
(e) A minimum assessment of (( $110 )) $113.85 (( (One Hundred Ten Dollars) )) will
be applied to every business, organization, and property within the BIA boundaries.
(highlighted emphasis added)
(f) The total assessment upon any single business site within the BIA shall not initially
exceed (( $11,000 )) $11,385 (( (Eleven Thousand Dollars) )) annually.”
The maximum EDBID assessment on a business of 5000+ square feet is $600.00 per year,
which equates to $ 0.12 psf. Ms. Stiller gave testimony to the ECC that the EDBID was only
“10% of the University BIA”, when in fact it is exactly the same on a per square foot basis,
(exclusive of property owners and the others defined in the UBIA area).
Packet Page 110 of 411

When the UBIA minimum assessment is added with their assessment of 5000 sq. ft. their
combined total assessment would total ($113.85 + $ 486.12= $599.97 per year). Personal
communications with Sheila Hartshorne, City of Seattle BIA Director, “The $113.85 is the
minimum assessment, so if your square footage is over 949 sq ft you would be paying the
higher amount, either the minimum of $113.85 or $113.88 based on 949 sq ft. The $0.12/sq ft
is not in addition to the minimum assessment.”
Their assessment from 1-948.75 sq feet is included in the base rate of $ 113.85. The
University BIA can go up to $ 11,385.00 per year, that is achieved strictly by multiplication of
massive square footage and the inclusion of property ownership as they have some very large
buildings in the UBIA. The UBIA has a pedestrian and auto traffic count that makes
downtown Edmonds look like a small rural town outside Winlock, as such the UBIA can
support their level of assessment, Edmonds can not.
Let us examine our EDBID and the UBIA on a comparative square foot basis, an apples to
apples comparison. Another mathematical fact, if you take the UBIA minimum assessment of
$113.85 per business and divide it by $0.12 per square foot, this equates to 948.75 square feet,
which I will venture to say is larger than the vast majority of foot-prints (square footage) of
businesses within the EDBID. They also did not develop classes of businesses, from personal
experience, a wrongful death attorney makes more in one case, than 90% of most businesses in
Edmonds will make in a full year of gross sales, so why a decreased rate? An upstairs office in
the UnivBIA (450 sq feet) is assessed $113.85, in Edmonds it is $ 120.00 per year, fairly close.
The assessment level of 948.75 square feet in the UBIA is $ 113.85, in the Edmonds BID it is
$ 420.00 (“open door”) ($0.45 per square foot) or $ 180.00 (appointment)($0.19 per square
foot) for the same square footage!! In this particular example our “open door” is only 369%
more expensive. Our cheapest level of assessment is more expensive than their assessment at
948.75 square feet.
Let’s look at one more point, let’s assume the 313 businesses in Edmonds all paid the
University BIA minimum of $ 113.85, the total yearly assessment would be $ 35,635.05, not
the approximately $89,000+ the EDBID is assessing!
The assessments in Edmonds penalize small businesses owners and small offices:
“Open Door” “Appointment”
0-499 sq.ft is $ 0.73 per square foot 0-499 sq.ft is $ 0.24 per square foot
500-999 sq ft is $0.42 per square foot 500-999 sq ft is $0.18 per square foot
1000-1999 sq ft is $ 0.24 per square foot 1000-1999 sq ft is $ 0.12 per square foot
2000-4999 sq ft is $ 0.11 per square foot 2000-4999 sq ft is $ 0.06 per square foot
5000+ sq ft is $ 0.12 per square foot. 5000+ sq ft is $ 0.08 per square foot.
Do to the fact the City has never released any numbers, there is no way to make any
comparison, but there are not that many businesses of size (large square footage) in Edmonds, I
imagine this is why the excessive fee….. for being a small business. There is no other way to
say this, but the ECC accepted “facts” from people on an agenda, you were presented
mendacities, and it worked. Anything was said to get the City Council to vote...yes, and adopt
the Edmonds BID.
Packet Page 111 of 411

Now 23 businesses are threatened with, or being sent out for collections based on false
information? While some businesses in Edmonds pay 369% more than the University BIA?
How is that fair to businesses?
To all Edmonds City Council members, this is a prime example of reacting to a “feel good”
project, rather than doing any independent research. I know you have a lot on your plate, but
this was a tax on businesses, the livelihood of many people.
This unfortunate outcome has caused harm to every business in Edmonds, because a thorough
and accurate examination of the facts would have never allowed the Edmonds BID to be
enacted into Ordinance # 3909.
I have done my homework, months of it.
Many business owners are being harmed thru and from this mandated and egregious level of
assessment.
There is no remedy under the law, as the testimony given to the Edmonds City Council is
classified as “evidence” under RCW35.87A.060, and the “evidence” was nothing but a
mendacity, the Edmonds BID is based on lies. There is no remedy to correct this fact under the
law.
The only solution is the closure of the Edmonds BID.
Sincerely,
Brent Malgarin, G.G.

ISSUES AND PROPOSALS FROM COUNCILMEMBER BLOOM REGARDING
EDMONDS DOWNTOWN BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT (BID)
NOVEMBER 3, 2014
I will be proposing the following amendments to the BID work plan. I have copied Jeff as I will
ask for his confirmation that the COE is fully responsible for the functioning of the BID, since it
was formed by resolution of the Council, not by initiation of a petition by the business owners. I
have also blind copied Council, for their review.
(1) Review of fees assessed - not included in work plan.
Propose:
Amend the work plan to include a review of the equity of the fees assessed by the city of
Edmonds to the BID members, to be completed and presented to Council by June 2015.
Rationale:
• Council was told, when voting for the BID, that the fees assessed would be considerably
lower than those assessed by the U District. We have since been informed that the fees
are actually significantly higher than those of the U District.
• U District bases fees on actual square footage, not a range.
• BID business owners have expressed concerns about the fairness of the fees assessed,
given that a business owner who has a 500 square ft retail store, restaurant, or
professional service, pays the same as a business owner who has a 999 sq ft business.
Likewise, a square footage of 2000, pays the same as a business of 4999 sq. feet, almost
3000 sq feet more space.
• U District has a lowest rate of $113.85/ year. Ed! has a lowest base rate of $120

(2) BID Work Plan Item C “Assessment and evaluation,” and D “Member engagement and
outreach.”
Propose:
Direct the board to add clarity to this passage, specifically regarding efforts to obtain
anonymous input from BID members.
Rationale:
Some business owners have not felt comfortable expressing differences of opinion regarding the
BID to the board. Anonymous collection of information will allow sharing of differences of
opinion without fear of repercussion.
(3 ) Item B “Administration”
Propose:
Reduce the amount budgeted for Administrative services to $6000 for 2015.
• This will equal $500/mth. Contract for administrative services at the rate of $25/hr,
equaling 20 hrs/month, or approximately 5 hrs/week.
Rationale:
This will be more palatable (than the proposed $17,000) to business owners who opposed the
formation of the BID.
The amount allocated can be adjusted in future budgets.
(4) Collections issue- not an item in the work plan.
Propose:
An amendment to the work plan, to include a review of our collections policy to be presented in
advance of final approval of the 2015 work plan and budget.
Rationale:
We have sent 29 businesses to collections. We have received no information as to why these
businesses have failed to pay the assessed fees. Sending businesses to collections is, obviously, a
huge deal as it can seriously affect their future credit ratings.
We should be concerned about potential lawsuits related to collections.
(5) Item K. “Research of Potential Boundary Adjustment”
In coordination with the City and stakeholders, the Alliance Board will research the potential of
boundary adjustments to include some businesses not currently included in the Alliance
boundaries. The alliance will report its findings to the city council.
Propose:
Removal of Item K from the work plan.
Packet Page 117 of 411
Rationale:
A considerable amount of conflict continues among the BID membership. This conflict must be
addressed if we expect successful implementation of the policies of the BID (Alliance) board. It
is premature to research adding new members until current member input has been heard and
integrated into the BID work plan.
I ask my fellow Council members to consider these amendments to the BID work plan.
ADDITIONAL ITEMS
NOVEMBER 6, 2014
In addition to the five amendments I proposed, and Lora's amendment regarding use of only
donated money, not fees assessed to business owners, for the grant program, I propose the
following:
Council liaison(s) to BID be assigned to start asap.
From the inception of the BID, no Council member has served as a liaison to the BID. I suggest
that the Council president serve as the liaison, and a second liaison be assigned by the Council
president to also attend all board meetings.
Rationale:
The BID is one of the few, if not only, entities formed by Council that does not have a Council
liaison assigned to attend their board meetings. Given that the BID is also the only one of the
boards, commissions, etc, formed by Council that has authority over expenditure of funds, in this
case of business owner funds, a Council liaison, or preferably liaisons, should be required.
All other boards, to my knowledge, serve in an advisory capacity only. The only exception, again
to my knowledge, is the Public Facilities District overseeing the ECA. The difference is that the
PFD functions independently of Council. Council has no authority over the PFD decision
making, budget, etc, unlike the BID.

RE: Response to proposed 2015 Work Plan changes
We have reviewed the recommendations from Council Member Bloom sent in the
November 3rd email, and have provided our feedback on her suggestions below.
We have included her original proposals and have italicized our response after
each item.
(1) Review of fees assessed - not included in work plan.
Propose:
Amend the work plan to include a review of the equity of the fees assessed by the
city of Edmonds to the BID members, to be completed and presented to Council by
June 2015.
Rationale:
-Council was told, when voting for the BID, that the fees assessed would be
considerably lower that those assessed by the U District. We have since been
informed that the fees are actually significantly higher than those of the U District.
-U District bases fees on actual square footage, not a range.
BID business owners have expressed concerns about the fairness of the fees
assessed, given that a business owner who has a 500 square ft retail store,
restaurant, or professional service, pays the same as a business owner who has a
999 sq ft business. Likewise, a square footage of 2000, pays the same as a
business of 4999 sq. feet, almost 3000 sq feet more space.

SQUARE FOOTAGE OPEN DOOR BY APPOINTMENT
0 - 499 $360/year $90/quarter $120/year $30/quarter

1000 - 1999 $480/year $120/quarter $240/year $60/quarter
2000 - 4999 $540/year $135/quarter $300/year $75/quarter
5000 and over $600/year $150/quarter $360/year $90/quarter
Ed! Response:
Our focus when proposing the rate structure to Council was to keep our rates low
and affordable for businesses in downtown. With a range of $120 to $600 annually,
we feel we have accomplished this.
From records posted in 2012, the University District’s lowest rate is $113.85
annually, their highest rate is $11,385. Their published budget for 2015 is
$744,000. The U District’s BIA structure is very different from ours. For instance,
they charge $5.92 per parking space. They charge residents, businesses and
property owners. It is an apples to oranges comparison.
While we understand the concern regarding charging per square foot, there is a
small difference between each rate increase - $60 annually ($5 per month) per
jump in square footage category. We believe it would not be in the City’s best
interest to reassess all businesses based on square footage as the actual
discrepancy is very small.

The Alliance Board is recommending that no changes be made to our assessment structure. If City Council chooses to
amend the assessment structure provided in the ordinance, we will follow the City requirements.
(2) Item C Assessment and evaluation, and D. Member engagement and outreach.
Propose:
Direct the board to add clarity to this passage, specifically regarding efforts to obtain anonymous input from BID
members.
Rationale:
Some business owners have not felt comfortable expressing differences of opinion regarding the BID to the board.
Anonymous collection of information will allow sharing of differences of opinion without fear of repercussion.
Ed! Response:
We’re happy to accept anonymous feedback and can let members know that is an option. We accept feedback on a
regular basis and encourage our members to let us know their thoughts and come to our meetings to discuss ways to
improve, change or address their concerns. We also have a PO Box where members are welcome so make
suggestions or voice concerns. The Alliance Board does find that it is more helpful to address specific issues directly,
but we understand that anonymous feedback is easier for some members.
While our proposed assessment actions do not mention specific anonymous-feedback methods, we believe the
potential use of a “survey,” as mentioned in the work plan, could certainly allow for the inclusion of anonymously
collected input.
(3 ) Item B Administration
Propose:
Reduce the amount budgeted for Administrative services to $6000 for 2015.
-This will equal $500/mth. Contract for administrative services at the rate of $25/hr, equaling 20 hrs/month, or
approximately 5 hrs/week.
Rationale:
This will be more palatable (than the proposed $17,000) to business owners who opposed the formation of the BID.
The amount allocated can be adjusted in future budgets.
Ed! Response:
As of October 1, out of the amount budgeted; we have spent $883 on administration. The Alliance Board has been
extremely mindful of administrative costs and careful stewards of the costs of this program. Thus far, the majority of
our work has been completed through an impressive volume of volunteer hours by Members.
The $17,000 estimated in the budget comprises both administrative consultant/contract assistance as well as operating
expenses which include, but are not limited to, supplies and insurance, post office box rental, mailings to members, and
web domain and hosting fees. Legal, accounting and professional services are contracted on an as-needed basis.
Our administrative costs will increase substantially in 2015 due to our website, 501c3 and increased outreach meetings
with members and Friends of Ed!. We will continue to be extremely careful with our funds and utilize volunteers and
pro bono services when possible, but our budget is mindful of the real costs facing the organization to allow it to thrive
and continue successful campaigns. As such, we respectfully disagree that the administration budget should be
lowered to a level that would cover only a very minimal number of hours for a contractor to provide administrative
services as that would not cover the full requirements of the organization.
(4) Collections issue - not an item in the work plan.
Propose:
An amendment to the work plan, to include a review of our collections policy to be presented in advance of final
approval of the 2015 work plan and budget.
Rationale:
We have sent 29 businesses to collections. We have received no information as to why these businesses have failed to
pay the assessed fees. Sending businesses to collections is, obviously, a huge deal as it can seriously affect their
future credit ratings.
We should be concerned about potential lawsuits related to collections.
Ed! Response:
Per Ordinance 3909, as amended in Ordinance 3929, Section ECC 3.75.080, and as approved by Edmonds City
Council: the City Finance Director is authorized to use a City of Edmonds approved collection agency to collect any
Packet Page 120 of 411
Edmonds Downtown Alliance, PO BOX 284, EDMONDS, WA 98020
3
unpaid assessments. The Alliance made the decision to send a very small number of businesses with unpaid
assessments (less than 10% of membership) to collections. This decision was made after all businesses were sent
numerous letters, personal outreach and communication, and a final notice warning of collections. The decision was
not made lightly as we understand the effect this can have on future credit ratings, however, this is a legal assessment
that is owed by the businesses. The Alliance was given the ability to use a collection agency because there is very little
recourse available to collect the assessment if it is not paid. Allowing some members to not pay, while the vast
majority of the membership does, is not appropriate or fair to the greater membership.
Ultimately, it is not the Board’s decision to remove the option to utilize a collection agency. The Board has spent
countless hours reviewing the policy and has approved a decision to collect unpaid assessments per the Ordinance. If
City Council wishes to amend the Ordinance to remove that option, that will need to be addressed by Council directly.
(5) Item K. Research of Potential Boundary Adjustment
In coordination with the City and stakeholders, the Alliance Board will research the potential of boundary adjustments to
include some businesses not currently included in the Alliance boundaries. The alliance will report its findings to the city
council.
Propose:
Removal of Item K from the work plan.
Rationale:
A considerable amount of conflict continues among the BID membership. This conflict must be addressed if we expect
successful implementation of the policies of the BID (Alliance) board. It is premature to research adding new members
until current member input has been heard and integrated into the BID work plan.
Ed! Response:
This item was included in our 2013 workplan as it was a discussion point brought up in the public hearing during this
organization’s formation by the public and several council members. We removed it in the 2014 Work Plan because we
were focusing on building the foundation pieces of the organization. Research on this topic would allow the advisory
board to determine whether or not an adjustment makes sense based on support, economic feasibility and increased
benefit to the community, Ed! members and business owners. If we were to propose any Boundary Adjustments, our
research would include a show of support from potential Alliance members in any proposed Boundary Adjustment area.
The Alliance, per the Ordinance, does not have the ability to decide that a boundary adjustment will occur.
The Alliance would prefer to leave available the option to present the pros and cons of any well researched and
supported Boundary Adjustment to City Council for discussion, review and decision in 2015.
We hope this provides adequate detail and reasoning to aid in our discussion at the November 10 City Council session.
Please feel free to contact any Advisory Board Member or myself if you have additional questions.

Renewal of Interlocal Agreement for Jail Services with Yakima County

Council meeting.
Previous Council Action
NA
Narrative
The Edmonds Police Department currently has contracts with multiple jail facilities for the housing of
both short and long-term prisoners. Jail capacities vary and at times facilities are unable to accommodate
our needs for booking prisoners. In addition, costs vary from facility to facility with those on the east side
of the state generally being less expensive, especially for long-term commitments. Both the Lynnwood
City Jail and the Snohomish County Jail will be raising and/or restructuring their rates in 2015. In order
to have additional options for booking prisoners to address capacity issues, as well as to ensure that we
are being as financially responsible as we can be, we entered into an interlocal agreement with the
Yakima County Jail in June of 2014, for the housing of long-term commitments, similar to what we have
in place with Okanogan County. The agreement with Yakima County is set to expire on December 31,
2014. Staff wishes to continue our agreement with the Yakima County Jail for the housing of long-term
commitments. This agreement may be renewed for another one year period by written addendum. This
Inmate Housing Agreement Addendum is attached reflecting the amended duration period of January 1,
2015 through December 31, 2015 with no increases in fees; compensation (bed rates) shall remain the
same. The city attorney has reviewed the previously executed agreement and the attached Inmate
Housing Agreement Addendum and it has been approved as to form. Staff requests that Council approve
this matter authorizing the Mayor to so sign the Agreement addendum for continued services beginning
January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015.

Subject Title
Review & Potential Approval of Updated Right-of-Way Tree Management Policy
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the updated Right-of-Way Tree Management Policy as
amended by the Edmond's Citizens Tree Board.
Previous Council Action
The Edmonds City Council passed Resolution 418 on November 28, 1978, establishing guidelines for the
management of trees located in City rights-of-way. Parks, Planning, and Public Works Committee
reviewed the limitations of Resolution 418 in discussions with City staff about potential improvements on
August 13, 2013. On October 8, 2013, the full City Council engaged in a review and discussion of
Resolution 418 limitations and improvements and gave input to City staff regarding the initial draft of the
updated Right-of-Way Tree Management Policy. On October 15, 2013, the City Council unanimously
instructed City staff to refer the draft updated Right-of-Way Tree Management Policy to the Edmonds
Citizens' Tree Board for further review and refinement.
On November 7, 2013, the Edmonds Citizens' Tree Board began discussing the proposed updated
Right-of-Way Tree Management Policy. On December 5, 2013, the Edmonds Citizens' Tree Board
continued discussions within the Board and with staff regarding the improvements and limitations of the
updated draft Right-of-Way Tree Management Policy. On April 3, 2014, citizens presented the Edmonds
Citizens' Tree Board with examples of their concerns when working with the City regarding trees in
easements or rights-of-way. On May 1, 2014, citizens presented the Edmonds Citizens' Tree Board with
examples of their concerns when working with the City regarding trees in easements or rights-of-way.
On June 5, 2014, the Edmonds Citizen's Tree Board continued their discussions related to
recommendations for the draft updated Right-of-Way Tree Management Policy. On July 3, 2014, the
Edmonds Citizens' Tree Board reported that a subcommittee had developed draft recommendations for the
City's updated Right-of-Way Tree Management Policy. On September 4, 2014, the Edmonds Citizens'
Tree Board unanimously moved to accept the recommendations of the subcommittee and forwarded the
updated Right-of-Way Tree Management Policy back to City staff to finalize and then present to the City
Council for review and approval.

Narrative
Council Resolution 418 (11/28/1978) lists only three reasons why a tree located on "public rights-of-way"
or "other public property" can be removed or trimmed as follows:
1. The tree or trees present a safety or sight distance hazard, or
2. The tree root system causes blockage of underground utility systems or damages other public
improvements such as roadways, sidewalks, etc; or
3. The tree is damaged or diseased requiring its removal or trimming in the interests of the public health
safety and general welfare.
This policy (item 2 above) does not authorize the removal or trimming of any tree unless it is damaging
or interfering with the function of a publicly owned utility or infrastructure element. It is silent regarding
damage or interference to private property. Staff would recommend modifying or replacing Resolution
418 with language that would allow the Public Works & Utilities Director to authorize removal,
trimming, or replacement of trees when they are clearly affecting either public or private property or
systems.
Following previous review and input by the City Council, recommendations and alterations by the
Edmonds Citizens' Tree Board following considerable public comment, and finalization of language by
City staff, the City's Development Services and Public Works & Utilities Departments present the
attached Right-of-Way Tree Management Policy with a recommendation for adoption by the Edmonds
City Council.

PROCEDURES FOR OBTAINING PERMITTING AND APPROVAL FOR TREE REMOVAL OR TRIMMING WITHIN CITY OF EDMONDS RIGHTS-OF-WAY
Pursuant to Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) 18.00.040, this memorandum
is to clarify City of Edmonds regulations, policies, and procedures for the permit approval
process and permit issuance for tree removal or trimming within City rights-of-way.
These procedures shall apply to tree removal or trimming within City of Edmonds rights-of-
way by any individuals or entities other than the City of Edmonds. These procedures do not
apply to tree removal or trimming performed by the Public Works & Utilities Department or
Parks, Recreation, & Cultural Services Department in the course of routine maintenance or
repair of public-owned facilities or in emergency response to public safety situations.
§1 – Permit Required. A Right-of Way Construction Permit is required for any party other
than the City of Edmonds to perform any removal or trimming of trees located within City
rights-of-way under any of the following conditions:
Any removal or trimming of a “street tree” as defined in the City Street Tree Plan1.
Any removal of a tree as defined in ECDC 18.45.040Q2.
Any trimming of a tree over a height of eight feet (8’) above the ground as measured
from the downslope side of the tree.
Any trimming of a tree requiring or using equipment other than handheld
equipment.
Any trimming or removal of a tree in the City right-of-way that will result in any
branches or portions of the tree exceeding six inches (6”) in diameter falling within
the traveled way (e.g., street, sidewalk, etc.) of the City right-of-way.
Any trimming or removal of a tree exceeding six inches (6”) in diameter on private
property if the trees or branches will fall into the traveled way (e.g., street, sidewalk,
etc.) of the City right-of-way during the tree removal or trimming process.
Packet Page 163 of 411
§2 – Application. Right-of-Way Construction Permits for removal or trimming of trees in
City rights-of-way shall be applied for through the Public Works & Utilities Engineering
Division at City Hall. Only licensed and bonded contractors authorized to represent the
owners of the property abutting the City right-of-way upon which the trees are located, a
utility company, or the property owners in limited circumstances3 may apply for a Right-of-
Way Construction Permit for tree removal or trimming.
§3 – Necessary Criteria. City of Edmonds policy governing the removal or trimming of trees
is contained in City Council Resolution 418, ECDC Chapter 18.45 (Land Clearing and Tree
Cutting Code), and ECDC Chapter 18.85 (Street Trees). Removal or trimming of trees
located in City rights-of-way as described in §1 will be approved only if one of the following
conditions is met:
The tree or trees present a safety or sight distance hazard.
The tree root system causes blockage of underground utility systems or damages
other public or private improvements such as roadways, sidewalks, driveways, etc.
The tree is damaged or diseased requiring its removal or trimming in the interests of
the public health and safety.
The tree has outgrown its location, is nearing the end of its healthy life, and should
be replaced by a smaller, location appropriate tree.
*Removal or trimming of trees located in City rights-of-way designed to enhance views from
abutting properties will not be approved.
§4 – Review. Applications shall be reviewed by the Public Works & Utilities Department,
Development Services Department, and the Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Services
Department for compliance with this policy, with critical areas ordinances and land clearing
permit requirements, and also for impacts on City parks and urban design planning.
§5 – Replanting. Trees approved for removal are be replaced as follow:
Caliper4 of Tree Removed Replacement Recommendation
6” – 8” 1 tree
8” – 12” 2 trees
12” – 18” 3 trees
18” – 24” 4 trees
24” + 5 trees
Packet Page 164 of 411
Replacement species to be determined by a City staff/consulting arborist.
City staff/consulting arborist to review recommended tree replacement ratio and
make a final determination on appropriate replacement ratio for the site.
§6 – Approval. Right-of-Way Construction Permits for removal or trimming of trees in City
rights-of-way shall be issued by the Public Works & Utilities Engineering Division following
successful review and certification that the permit application meets all necessary criteria.
EFFECTIVE THIS ____ DAY OF ______________, 2014
PHIL WILLIAMS
PUBLIC WORKS & UTILITIES DIRECTOR

Information
Subject Title
Development Code Major Update
Recommendation
Ask questions and consider how to move forward with funding the Development Code Update—by
carrying forward 2014 funds into 2015 or also adding additional funds for examining and updating more
code chapters
Previous Council Action
Budget allocation in 2014 for updating the Development Code
Narrative
ISSUE
To provide an overview of actions taken in the last two years, as well as upcoming budget options, for the
Development Code Update (aka “rewrite”)
WHAT IS THE DEVELOPMENT CODE?
The Edmonds Community Development Code (or “Development Code”) consists of nine titles:
Land Use Plans and Policies
Zone Districts
General Zoning Regulations
Public Works Requirements
Building Codes
Review Criteria and Procedures
Definitions
Design Standards
Natural Resources
Each title has many chapters and each chapter has many sections. For the full list of existing chapters by
title, see the Table of Contents (attached, Exhibit 1).
WHAT HAS BEEN APPROPRIATED/SPENT IN THE LAST 2 YEARS?
The City Council appropriated:
$150,000 for a major update (aka a “rewrite”) of the Development Code over a 2-year period,
namely: $75,000 in 2014 and $75,000 in 2015
Packet Page 166 of 411
-- $40,000 of the $150,000 has been spent
$80,000 for updating the Critical Area regulations (and Best Available Science Report), over a
2-year period, namely: $40,000 in 2014 and $40,000 in 2015
-- A professional services agreement is in place for up to $80,000
-- Work is underway but the first $40,000 will probably not be entirely spent before the end of
the year
$25,000 for a “tree code” proposal in 2014
--A professional services agreement is in place that will use the $25,000 plus an additional
$10,000 grant by end of the year
WHAT HAS BEEN DONE DURING THE LAST 2 YEARS?
Below is a brief summary of activities related to updating various parts of the Development Code.
General Development Code Update Activities
Contract with Carol Morris, legal consultant, for $40,000, covering part of the 2013/2014 period,
resulting in:
--Consultant’s review of current code
--Memos with suggestions and questions
--A suggested reorganization for chapters (new names and different order for topics)
--Suggestions and approaches to increase legal certainty on certain processes, such as street
vacations; some of these will inform and be folded into the next phase of the Development Code
Update
New Development Services Director (hired April 1, 2014):
--Generally reviewed the Development Code
--Heard from others about perceived gaps and problems
--Reviewed work of consultant Carol Morris
--Determined that: (a) Morris’s work was useful in identifying various legal issues and options; and
(b) additional work was needed to prepare a code specific to Edmonds
Discussion of Development Code Update process and priorities with the Planning Board
--Subject of at least 3 meetings this year, including lengthy discussion at the Board's annual retreat,
plus additional meetings on specific code proposals
--Planning Board recommendation for principles and objectives. See Exhibit 2, attached.
Continuation of work to provide information and potential refinements regarding the draft
Westgate regulations
Minor Code amendment to City Council to clarify definition of legal lot and criteria for
determining “innocent purchaser.” (As directed by Council after a public hearing, ordinance
adoption is to be on Consent—scheduled for later this month)
Coordination between Development Services and Police Department on minor Code amendments
to clarify requirements related to animals, noise, and RV parking. (Final versions will be brought to
Council in near future.)
Issuance of RFQ (October 2014) for a consultant firm to work on next stage of preparing an
updated Development Code for completion and consideration in 2015
--Consultant selection and negotiation process underway
--Approval of professional services agreement to be brought to Council this month
Packet Page 167 of 411
Critical Area Regulations
Consultant selected and work underway
Project expected to be complete by June 2015
Tree Code
Work well underway and options for draft regulations being discussed by Tree Board
Draft recommendations and options to be presented to Council for discussion, probably early 2015
Other actions to follow, depending on Council direction
WHAT IS PROPOSED WITH CURRENTLY BUDGETED FUNDS FOR MAJOR CODE UPDATE?
Remaining unspent in the budget for the Development Code Update is $110,000 (which represents
the total $150,000 appropriated in 2013 and 2014, minus $40,000 spent for the legal consultant).
The remaining $110,000 is budgeted for a professional services agreement to prepare
Edmonds-specific draft regulations for the major Development Code Update project
--$25,000 – planned for expenditure in 2014
--$85,000 – proposed to carry forward as part of 2015 budget
Draft regulations are expected to cover:
--Subdivisions
--Planned Residential Developments
--General zoning requirements (e.g., nonconformances)
--Criteria and procedures for land use approvals, appeals, zoning amendments, and comprehensive
plan
--Off-street parking
--Bicycle facilities
--Street and sidewalk restoration
--Accessory dwelling units
--Multifamily residential
--Notice procedures
--Definitions
--Design review
--Other topics as further review allows
NOTE: Timeframe for developing this phase of the Code Update and having a public process for it is
November 2014 - December 2015
HOW AND WHEN COULD OTHER PARTS OF THE DEVELOPMENT CODE BE UPDATED?
Additional Code Update work requires resources. Rewriting the Code is no small task; it must be done in
a thoughtful, integrated way. If not everything can be done at once, the rewrite could be phased, as long
as a clear, coordinated approach is carried out.
Options include:
Option A – Complete the current code update project (carrying forward all unspent 2014 funds into 2015)
and, over the next few years, consider updates for other chapters, based on priorities and resources.
Option B – Same as Option A, plus: Add new resources in the 2015 budget to rewrite approximately 70
more chapters of the Development Code in 2014/2015. Note: Needed resources for professional services
Packet Page 168 of 411
is roughly estimated at an additional $300,000.
Option C – Same as Option A, plus: During the 2016 budget process, consider adding new funds to
rewrite other Development Code chapters.
Option D—Don’t complete the current code update project; consider any new proposals on an ad hoc
basis and avoid a more comprehensive review during the near future.

Pursuant to Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 67.28.1817 all cities of greater than 5,000 population
that impose a lodging tax must appoint a Lodging Tax Advisory Committee to provide recommendations
on the usage of lodging tax revenue for the purposes of tourism promotion. The City of Edmonds
Lodging Tax Advisory Committee met three times in 2014 (July 21 and October 21 & 27, 2014) to
review the lodging tax revenue projections, consider applications for use of lodging tax monies for
tourism events and promotional activities, and prepare their recommendations to City Council, as
required by RCW 67.28.1816.
With lodging tax revenues on the rise, the current projection for lodging tax revenue in 2015 is $90,000.

Discussion on the Proposed 2015-2020 Capital Facilities Plan/Capital Improvement Program.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the 2015-2020 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and an ordinance be
prepared to adopt the 2015-2020 Capital Facilities Plan as amended by the City Council.
Previous Council Action
On September 23, 2014, Council reviewed the process to approve the Capital Facilities Plan and Capital
Improvement Program.
On October 28, 2014, Council reviewed the proposed Capital Facilities Plan and Capital Improvement
Program.
On November 3, 2014, a public hearing was held to receive public comment.
Narrative
The City's Capital Facilities Plan (CFP) is a document updated annually and identifies capital projects for
at least the next six years which support the City's Comprehensive Plan. The CFP contains a list of
projects that need to be expanded or will be new capital facilities in order to accommodate the City's
projected population growth in accordance with the Growth Management Act. Thus, capital projects that
preserve existing capital facilities are not included in the CFP. These preservation projects are identified
within the six-year capital improvement program (CIP) along with capital facility plan projects which
encompass the projected expenditure needs for all city capital related projects.
CIP vs. CFP
The CFP and CIP are not the same thing; they arise from different purposes and are in response to
different needs. While the CIP is a budgeting tool that includes capital and maintenance projects, tying
those projects to the various City funds and revenues, the CFP is intended to identify longer term capital
needs (not maintenance) and be tied to City levels of service standards. The CFP is also required to be
consistent with the other elements (transportation, parks, etc) of the Comprehensive Plan, and there are
restrictions as to how often a CFP can be amended. There are no such restrictions tied to the CIP.
The proposed 2015-2020 CFP is attached as Exhibit 1. The CFP has three project sections comprised of
General, Transportation and Stormwater. The proposed 2015-2020 CIP is attached as Exhibit 2. The CIP
Packet Page 220 of 411
has two sections related to general and parks projects and each project list is organized by the City's
financial fund numbers. Exhibit 3 is a comparison that shows added, deleted and changed projects
between last year's CFP/CIP to the proposed CFP/CIP.
The CFP and CIP were presented and a public hearing was held at the Planning Board meeting on
September 24, 2014. The Planning Board recommended the CFP and CIP be forwarded to the City
Council for approval. The draft minutes from the Planning Board meeting are attached as Exhibit 4.
Attached is the Sunset Walkway cost information for the trial project and project design costs to
date. The City has received $78,527 in reimbursement for design costs from the federal grant through the
second quarter of 2014. The PSRC TAP preliminary cost estimate for the $2,099,000 figure in the
proposed CIP/CFP in 2018 is also attached for reference. The difference between the cost estimate and
the number in the CIP/CFP is an estimate of inflation from the date of estimate to the assumed date of
construction (2018). The TAP estimate did not include costs for design and construction of water and
sewer utilities that may be built, if the project goes forward.

completed in 2009. Six scenarios were presented and the plan recommended by the
consultants was a year round indoor pool with an outdoor recreational opportunity in the
summer. The project is dependent upon a public vote.
PROJECT BENEFIT/ RATIONALE: The current Yost Pool, built in 1972, is nearing the end of
its life expectancy. The comprehensive study done in 2009 assessed the needs and wants of
Edmonds citizens in regard to its aquatic future as well as the mechanical condition of the
current pool.

PROJECT NAME: SR-524 (196th St. SW)/ 88th
Ave. W Intersection Improvements
ESTIMATED PROJECT COST: $1,115,000
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Install traffic signal at the intersection of 196th St. SW @ 88th Ave.
W. The modeling in the 2009 Transportation Plan indicated that restricting northbound and
southbound traffic to right-turn-only (prohibiting left-turn and through movements) would also
address the deficiency identified at this location through 2025. This is same alternative as one
concluded by consultant in 2007 study but not recommended by City Council. This could be
implemented as an alternate solution, or as an interim solution until traffic signal warrants are
met. The ex. LOS is F (below City Standards: LOS D). (ROADWAY ROJECT PRIORITY in
2009 Transportation Plan: #8).
PROJECT BENEFIT/ RATIONALE: Improve traffic flow characteristics and safety at the
intersection. The improvement would modify LOS to A, but increase the delay along 196th St.
SW.
SCHEDULE: The intersection LOS must meet MUTCD traffic signal warrants and be approved
by WSDOT since 196th St. SW is a State Route (SR524). No funding is currently allocated to
this project (pending grant funding).

PROJECT NAME: Edmonds Marsh/Shellabarger
Cr/Willow Cr – Daylighting
ESTIMATED PROJECT COST: $7,233,000
Edmonds Marsh as seen from the viewing platform. Previously restored section of Willow Creek. Source:
www.unocaledmonds.info/clean-up/gallery.php
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Build on the feasibility study completed in 2013 that assessed the feasibility
of day lighting the Willow Creek channel. The final project may include 23 acres of revegetation,
construct new tide gate to allow better connectivity to the Puget Sound, removal of sediment, 1,100
linear ft of new creek channel lined with an impermeable membrane. Funds will be used for study and
construction but exact breakdown cannot be assessed at this time.
PROJECT BENEFIT/ RATIONALE: The daylight of willow creek will help reverse the negative impacts
to Willow Creek and Edmonds Marsh that occurred when Willow Creek was piped. It will also help
eliminate the sedimentation of the marsh and the transition to freshwater species and provide habitat for
salmonids, including rearing of juvenile Chinook.

PROJECT NAME: Perrinville Creek High Flow
Reduction/Management Project
ESTIMATED PROJECT COST: $2,270,000
Perrinville Creek Channel illustrating the channel incision that
will be addressed by restoration.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: A flow reduction study began in 2013 that will develop alternatives
to implement in the basin. Projects are expected to begin the design and/or construction
phases in 2014. It is expected that this project will be implemented with the City of Lynnwood
(half the Perrinville basin is in Lynnwood) and Snohomish County (owner of the South County
Park). Projects will likely be a combination of detention, infiltration, and stream bank
stabilization. A $188,722 grant from the Department of Ecology is contributing funds to the
2013-2014 Study.
PROJECT BENEFIT/ RATIONALE: Urbanization of the Perrinville Creek Basin has increased
flows in the creek, incision of the creek, and sedimentation in the low-gradient downstream
reaches of the creek. Before any habitat improvements can be implemented, the flows must be
controlled or these improvements will be washed away.

PROJECT NAME: City Park Revitalization
ESTIMATED PROJECT COST: $1,335,000
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Revitalize City Park play area with new play equipment and addition
of a spray park amenity to be used in the summer. Spray parks have become very popular in
many communities as replacements for wading pools that are no longer acceptable to increased
health department regulations. These installations create no standing water and therefore require
little maintenance and no lifeguard costs. Staff will seek voluntary donations for construction
costs.
PROJECT BENEFIT/ RATIONALE: This project combines two play areas and the completion of
the master plan from 1992. This is very competitive for State grant funding, as it will be using a
repurposing water system. This will be a much valued revitalization and addition to the City’s
oldest and most cherished park.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF AGENDA
The agenda was accepted as presented.
AUDIENCE COMMENTS
No one in the audience indicated a desire to address the Board during this portion of the meeting.
DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR REPORT TO PLANNING BOARD
Ms. Hope referred the Board to the written Director’s Report. In addition to the items outlined on the report, she announced
that the public has invited to a free program that asks the question, “What Does a Vibrant City of the Future Look Like?”
The event is being sponsored by Community Transit, Puget Sound Regional Council, and 8-80 Cities and will take place on
September 25th at the Lynnwood Convention Center starting at 6:30 p.m. Gil Penalosa, Executive Director of the Canadian
non-profit organization 8-80 Cities will speak about how to create vibrant cities and healthy communities for everyone. She
encouraged Board Member to attend.
Board Member Lovell requested a status report on the Shoreline Master Program (SMP). He recalled that the Council is
currently considering a modification to the Board’s recommendation that would increase the setback area for development to
150 feet and the buffer area to 50 feet. Ms. Hope emphasized that the City Council has not taken final action on the SMP yet,
but the majority appear to be leaning towards a greater setback. Board Member Lovell advised that the Port of Edmonds has
Packet Page 363 of 411
DRAFT
Planning Board Minutes
September 24, 2014 Page 2
gone on record in opposition to the increased setback and indicated they would likely take legal action if the greater setbacks
are adopted. Ms. Hope said staff indicated support for the 50-foot buffer, as recommended by the Planning Board and
supported by Best Available Science. Board Member Stewart clarified that the City Council is proposing the increased
setback requirement on a 2-year interim basis. At the end of the two years, the setback could be renegotiated.
Chair Cloutier noted that the City Council is also considering significant modifications to the Board’s recommendation
related to Highway 99 zoning. Ms. Hope acknowledged that the Council conducted a public hearing and voted to amend the
recommendation, but they will not take formal action until a revised ordinance is presented to them at a future meeting.
PUBLIC HEARING ON THE 2015-2020 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN (CFP) AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT
PROGRAM (CIP) (FILE NUMBER AMD20150006
Mr. English explained that the CFP and CIP are different documents and have different purposes. The CIP is used as a
budgeting tool and includes both capital and maintenance projects. The CFP is mandated by the Growth Management Act
and is intended to identify longer-term capital needs (not maintenance) to implement the City’s level of service standards and
growth projections. The CFP must be consistent with the other elements of the Comprehensive Plan, and it can only be
amended once a year. He provided a graph to illustrate how the two plans overlap. He advised that the CFP is comprised of
three sections: general, transportation and stormwater. The CIP has two sections related to general and parks projects, and
each project is organized by the City’s financial fund numbers. He announced that, this year, the 125 funds were combined
to include both transportation and parks projects to be consistent with the City’s budget.
Mr. English noted that a description of each project was included in the draft CIP. He reviewed some of the projects
identified in the CIP and CFP, as well as the progress that was made over the past year as follows:
The 5 Corners Roundabout Project is nearing completion. This significant project is intended to improve the level of
service (LOS) of the intersection and improve air quality by moving traffic more efficiently through the intersection.
The City Council approved a $1.6 million budget for a Street Preservation Program in 2014. This has enabled staff to
overlay two streets and apply chip seal applications to three streets. Staff is proposing a budget of $1.56 million for the
Street Preservation Program in 2015.
The 228th Street Corridor Improvement Project will start in 2015. As proposed, 228th Street Southwest will be extended
across the unopened right-of-way to 76th Avenue West, and the intersections at Highway 99 and 76th Avenue West will
be signalized. 228th Street Southwest will be overlaid from 80th Place West to 2,000 feet east of 72nd Avenue West, and
76th Avenue West will be overlaid from 228th Street Southwest to Highway 99.
Chair Cloutier questioned if the proposed improvements would extend all the way to the border of Mountlake Terrace.
Mr. English answered affirmatively and noted that Mountlake Terrace is also planning improvements for its portion of
228th Street Southwest.
Intersection improvements at 76th Avenue West and 212th Street Southwest are currently under design and the City is in
the process of acquiring additional right-of-way. Construction is planned to start in 2016.
76th Avenue West will be restriped between 220th Street Southwest and Olympic View Drive. The section that is
currently four lanes will be reduced to three lanes, with a bike lane. Pre-design work for this project will start in 2015,
with construction in 2016.
Design money has been identified to start the process of looking at the potential of creating a quiet zone or a trackside
warning system at the Dayton and Main Street railroad crossings. A consultant contract was recently approved, and a
kick-off meeting is scheduled for next week.
The Sunset Avenue Walkway Project has received a lot of discussion at the Council level in recent months. The Council
recently approved a temporary alignment for the walkway as a trail and these improvements will likely be finished
within the next week or two.

A sidewalk will be installed on 15th Street between SR-104 and 8th Avenue utilizing grant funding from the Safe Routes
To School Program. The project should be completed by November of 2014.
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) curb ramps will be installed on 3rd Avenue, and the project will be advertised
this week.
A sidewalk will be installed on the north side of 238th Street Southwest from 100th Avenue West to 104th Avenue West.
Stormwater improvements will also be included with this project, which will be funded via a Safe Routes To School
Grant and Utilities Fund 422.
A walkway will be constructed on the south side of 236th Street Southwest from SR-104 to Madrona Elementary School.
Sharrows will also be added along this stretch. This project is also being funded through the Safe Routes to School
Program.
10,000 feet of water main was replaced in 2014, and two pressure reducing valves were replaced. The City just
completed 2,000 feet of street overlay where water mains were previously replaced. In 2015, they plan to replace 7,000
feet of water main, as well as some pressure reducing valves.
The 4th Avenue Stormwater Project is in progress and is intended to address flooding issues in the downtown caused by
heavy rains. This project should be completed within the next month.
The vactor waste handling facility was completed this year, and they are working to replace the filtration pipes.
The City will build on the study completed in 2013 that assessed the feasibility of daylighting the Willow Creek channel
as part the Edmonds Marsh Project. Daylighting the creek will help reverse the negative impacts to Willow Creek and
the Edmond Marsh that occurred when Willow Creek was piped.
A lift station and other new infrastructure will be installed at Dayton Street and SR-104 to improve drainage and reduce
flooding at the intersection.
A flow reduction study has been completed for the Perrinville Creek High Flow Reduction/Management Project, and the
project is currently at the pre-design phase.
Sewer main on Railroad Avenue was replaced in July, and more work is scheduled in 2015. By the end of 2014, the City
will have replaced over 6,000 feet of sewer main in several locations. In 2015, staff is proposing 1,500 feet of cured-in-
place pipe application, 4,000 feet of sewer main replacement, and improvements at the Wastewater Treatment Plan.
Board Member Lovell noted that Meadowdale Beach Road is in poor condition, and it does not make sense to install a
sidewalk before the roadway has been repaved. Mr. English pointed out that repaving Meadowdale Beach Road is identified
as a project in the Roadway Preservation Program. If funding is available, it will move forward in 2015. He cautioned that
the street may need more than an overlay to address the problems.
Vice Chair Tibbott asked Mr. English to describe the differences between the cured-in-place pipe application and replacing
sewer mains. Mr. English said that the cured-in-place application is a trenchless technology that the City has used on a few
projects in the last several years. If a pipeline is cracked but has not lost its grade, you can apply a new interior coating. This
can be done by accessing the manholes within the pipe without having to excavate or cut the street. Staff has spent a
significant amount of time this year collecting data on the existing condition of the pipes to identify those in which the cured-
in-place option would be appropriate. Vice Chair Tibbott asked if the cured-in-place application would address root
problems. Mr. English answered that the application is a good way to take care of roots. Depending on the age of the pipes,
they are most likely to connect at the joints, which provide a pathway for roots. The cured-in-place application would be a
continuous inner lining for the pipe so the potential for roots to find gaps or cracks goes away once it is installed.

Vice Chair Tibbott asked Mr. English to describe how the Dayton Street Lift Station would work. Mr. English explained that
there are a lot of different inputs into the stormwater issues in this location such as the Edmonds Marsh, Shellebarger Creek,
and stormwater runoff. In this particular case, when the tide elevation is high, the water cannot drain into the Sound and
flooding occurs at the intersection of Dayton Street and SR-104. The marsh does not drain as well, either. The proposed
project will re-establish the flow through the marsh, and install a lift station that will mechanically lift the water during high
tide so it can be discharged to Puget Sound.
Board Member Stewart referred to the Sunset Avenue Walkway Project and asked about the definition for “multi-use
pathways.” Mr. English answered that there is not really a definition for multi-use pathways. The concept is based more on
width. Ten feet is the standard width for a multi-use pathway, but some are as narrow as 8 feet or as wide as 12 feet. The
goal is to have walkers and bikers use the route together. Board Member Stewart asked if it would be possible to allow some
wheeled access on the pathway, while bikes are routed to the sharrows on the roadway. Mr. English agreed that would be
possible. He noted that while the sharrows for north bound bikers are not in place, bikers going south can use the trail that is
striped.
Board Member Stewart asked if the City would consider green infrastructure as a method of stormwater improvement such as
rain gardens, bioswales, and pervious pavement. Mr. English said they are considering a few green options for stormwater.
For example, the Shellebarger Creek High Flow Reduction Study recommends building bio-retention facilities within the
residential areas. These projects are about 90% designed, and the City plans to apply for grants to build them in 2015. There
is also an infiltration facility at Sea View Park to take some of the high flow off Perrinville Creek. Two previously
mentioned projects utilize infiltration methods versus collection and putting the water into the Sound. Board Member
Stewart suggested that these efforts should be noted in the plans.
Board Member Rubenkonig said she enjoyed the project descriptions. She particularly found the history to be helpful in
understanding how each project originated. She would also like each project description to reference the plan that supports it
and explained why it was proposed. She noted that some of the descriptions provide details about the size of the projects
(i.e. length, square footage, acreage, etc.) She found this helpful to make a connection between a project’s size and its
anticipated cost. She suggested that this information should be provided for each of the project descriptions. Mr. English
agreed that more information could be provided in the project descriptions related to size, but the City does not yet have this
detailed information for some of the projects in the CIP.
Board Member Rubenkonig pointed out that walkway projects are referred to as both sidewalks and walkways. She asked if
there is a reason to make this distinction. Mr. English agreed that the terms could be more consistent. The City secured grant
funding for three sidewalk projects from the Safe Routes to School Program. His guess is that throughout the application
process, the projects were probably identified as walkways as opposed to sidewalks.
Ms. Hite advised that approximately $120,000 is set aside each year in the CIP for park maintenance items. She explained
that although it is not common for cities to use Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) funds strictly for parks operations and
maintenance, the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) allows it. However, this provision will sunset at the end of 2016.
Unless it is extended for an additional time period, the City will have to be creative in 2017 to fill the funding gap.
Ms. Hite provided a brief overview of the accomplishments in 2014 related to parks, as well as projects anticipated for 2015:
A new play area was installed at City Park. However, because of issues with drainage and the existing water table, the
spray pad had to be redesigned. Permits for the project were submitted earlier in the week, and the goal is to obtain the
permits and get the project out to bid before the end of the year so construction can start in February or March. It is
anticipated the spray pad will open by Memorial Day 2015. She briefly described some of the features of the new play
area and spray pad.
The Dayton Street Plaza Project has been on the City’s plan for the past few years, and demolition work started this
month. She provided a schematic design of the project for the Board’s information.
Some historic preservation plaques were installed on the 4th Avenue Cultural Corridor, as well as other locations
throughout the downtown. In addition, the Arts Commission has been working on a temporary installation on 4th
Packet Page 366 of 411
DRAFT
Planning Board Minutes
September 24, 2014 Page 5
Avenue to bring visibility to the corridor. They are holding public meetings regarding the project at this time. However,
the City does not currently have funding to create permanent features along the corridor.
The City has set aside $655,000 in the CIP and the School District has agreed to contribute $500,000 for redevelopment
of the Woodway High School Athletic Field. In 2013, the City received a $750,000 state appropriation from local
representatives, as well as a capital grant of $2.5 million from Verdant Health Care. They now have a total of $4.2
million for the project. In addition to a sports field for soccer, softball, lacrosse and ultimate Frisbee, the play area will
be upgraded and a new walking path will be provided to connect to the oval track around the football field. The project
is currently in the design phase. The district will construct the project and the City will maintain it and have operational
control of the fields. The redeveloped facility is set to open in September of 2015.
The Yost Pool boiler was replaced in 2014. In addition, new plaster was applied to the bottom of the pool, and a new hot
water tank was installed. They just recently discovered that the spa has a leak that will cost about $100,000 to fix, and
this money was built into the 2015 budget.
The Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department is working in partnership with the Stormwater Division on the
Marina Beach Master Plan, which will include daylighting of Willow Creek. Burlington Northern Santa Fe installed a
culvert that can be used for this purpose, and they are currently considering two different alignment options, both of
which will have impacts to Marina Beach Park and/or the dog park. Staff will work with the design team and the public
to come up with the best solution, and they are hoping the work can be completed by next September.
The Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan and Community Cultural Plan were updated this year.
The Anderson Field Amphitheater and Meadowdale Club House Playfield will be replaced in 2015.
The City is working in partnership with the City of Lynnwood and the Edmonds School District to further develop and
maintain the Meadowdale Playfields. They are looking at installing turf on the fields so they can be used year round.
The School District has allotted $1 million for the project, and the Cities of Edmonds and Lynnwood have agreed to
contribute, as well. They have applied for a grant to help fund the project, and they are hoping to have enough money
put together to start within the next three years.
The City has an aggressive goal to acquire waterfront property and has set aside about $900,000 from a Conservations
Future Grant and REET dollars for this purpose. The City has been negotiating with a property owner, and she is
optimistic that an agreement can be reached.
Rehabilitation of the Fishing Pier has been on the City’s radar since 2009. The facility is located on property owned by
the Port of Edmonds, but the facility is owned by the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife (WSDFW).
The City maintains the facility. While the pier looks nice on the outside and is safe, it was constructed 35 years ago and
the salt water environment has caused significant deterioration. WSDFW has offered to give the pier to the City, but the
City would like the rehabilitation work to be completed before ownership is transferred. The City is working in
partnership with the WSDFW to obtain the needed funds, which is estimated to cost about $1.5 million. About $200,000
has been allocated to the project, and the WSDFW has submitted a grant request to the Washington State Recreation and
Conservation Office (RCO) for $1.3 million. The grant scored well, and they are hoping it will be funded so the project
can move forward in 2015.
The City has been working with the Edmonds School District to acquire the Civic Center Playfield. An appraiser was
hired to come up with an appraisal that is acceptable to both parties, and third-party appraiser was also hired to confirm
the findings. The City submitted a grant request for $1 million to the RCO, and the project scored within the range of
projects that were funded last year. However, if there are cuts in the RCO’s budget, the grant may not be funded. If the
City is able to complete the acquisition in 2015, some money will be set aside in 2016 to do a master plan.

Board Member Lovell asked if the City would continue to maintain the Civic Center Playfield in its current state until such
time as it is acquired and redeveloped. Ms. Hite answered that short-term goal is to acquire the property and maintain it as is
until a master plan has been completed and the park is redeveloped.
Board Member Lovell asked if the senior center was identified on the CFP as a placeholder or if the City will dedicate
funding for the project. Ms. Hite said this project will require a partnership with other entities. The City will support the
project as much as possible, but it will not be a City project.
Vice Chair Tibbott asked if the City will partner with the Edmonds School District to redevelop the Civic Center Playfield.
Ms. Hite answered that the City is now pursuing a complete acquisition of the site. The district has indicated it does not have
a developer. Ms. Hite agreed that is possible, but the current lease, which runs through 2020, gives the City the first right to
purchase.
Vice Chair Tibbott asked if the new sports field at the Old Woodway High School would be turf. Ms. Hite answered
affirmatively. She explained that this is something that is desperately needed in the area. Because the City does not have any
turf fields at this time, the season is limited to just over four months each year. The City will continue to maintain its grass
fields, but having an amenity that allows year-round play is important to the parks system.
Vice Chair Tibbott noted that some parks in the City are underutilized. When it comes to thinking of bigger projects like an
aquatics center or acquiring property, he asked if the City has considered selling some of the underutilized park land to
provide funding for new parks and/or needed improvements. Ms. Hite answered that the City currently has a good balance of
neighborhood, community and regional parks, and there are still some deficiencies near Highway 99. They have not
considered the option of selling park land because they do not feel there are surplus parks in the system. All of the parks are
utilized, and even those that just provide green space are desirable to the community.
Board Member Robles referred to Ms. Hite’s report that the City obtained the services of a third-party appraiser to study the
Civic Center Playfield. He asked if the City also uses third-party consultants to conduct condition assessments and feasibility
studies or is the work done in house. Ms. Hite answered that this work is contracted out, and the various grant guidelines
have very rigid rules for assessments and appraisals for parkland acquisition.
Board Member Stewart noted that rest room repairs are identified for Brackett’s Landing. She asked if the City has
considered turning the restrooms over to a concessionaire. Ms. Hite said the City has a program for encouraging
concessionaires in parks, but none have located at Brackett’s Landing to date. Every January, the City sends out a Request
for Proposals, inviting vendors who might want to operate a concession stand in a City-owned park. In total, concessions
brought in $10,000 last year to help with parks. She expressed her belief that the program is a win-win. It provides
additional amenities in parks, as well as funds for park improvements.
Board Member Stewart asked if the City has considered meters in parking areas that serve City parks. Ms. Hite said this
option has been discussed, but it has not received a lot of support from the City Council. If the Board is interested in
pursuing the option, she can facilitate the discussion.
Board Member Stewart noted that the project description for the Sunset Walkway Project indicates that a sidewalk will be
provided on the west side. She asked if this is the same project identified in the CFP. Ms. Hite answered affirmatively,
noting that the $200,000 identified for the project in 2018 will come from the Parks Fund. However, most of the funding for
the project will come from grants and the City’s street improvement fund.
Board Member Stewart referred to the Fishing Pier and Restroom Project and noted that no funding has been set aside for the
Beach Ranger Station, which is old and very small. Ms. Hite agreed that there has been no discussion about replacing the
station, and it was not included as a project in the PROS Plan. However, staff could explore this option further as directed by
the Board.
Board Member Stewart referred to Page 48 of the draft CIP, which talks about Miscelleneous Unpaved Trail/Bike Path
Improvements. He asked if the City’s website provides a map showing where the bike paths are located within parks. Ms.
Packet Page 368 of 411
DRAFT
Planning Board Minutes
September 24, 2014 Page 7
Hite said there are not a lot of bicycle trails through parks, but the City’s goal is to provide exterior connections. These are
not currently listed on the City’s website, but they could be added.
Board Member Stewart observed that, although the draft CIP identifies $1.4 million for waterfront acquisition, the allocations
would be spread out over a seven year period. She suggested the City look for opportunities to partner with non-profits and
apply for grants to obtain additional funding. When land becomes available, the City must move quickly. Developers have
ready cash and the City doesn’t, and that can result in missed opportunities. Ms. Hite agreed that the City needs to create
new funding sources so they are ready to move forward when opportunities come up. The goal is to continue to add money
to the fund each year, but there are also competing priorities for the available park dollars. She emphasized that waterfront
acquisition is identified as a high priority in the PROS Plan, and maintaining a separate fund for this purpose should also be a
priority.
Once again, Board Member Rubenkonig asked that each project description reference the plan/plans that support it and
explain why it was proposed. This allows the community to have a clear understanding of why the project is identified as a
priority for funding. She also asked that the descriptions provide details about the size of the project.
Board Member Rubenkonig asked if the 4th Avenue arts walk, which starts at Main Street, extends all the way to 3rd Avenue.
Ms. Hite answered that it ends at the Performing Arts Center.
Ms. Hite said that in addition to the projects identified in the CFP, members of the Economic Development Commission have
requested that the City study the option of installing a restroom in the downtown area. She suggested that the concept could
be identified in the CFP as a potential project for the City Council’s future consideration. She acknowledged that there is no
money available for a restroom right now, but including it on the CFP allows the City to explore funding opportunities. She
noted that the community has also indicated support for a public restroom in the downtown. The Board indicated support
for the concept, as well.
Mr. English reviewed the schedule for moving the CIP and CFP forward to the City Council for final review and approval.
He noted that the plans were introduced to the City Council on September 23rd. Both documents, along with the Board’s
recommendation, will be presented to the City Council for a study session on October 14th. From that point, the City Council
will conduct a public hearing and take final action. Once approved, the CFP will be incorporated into the Comprehensive
Plan.
Mr. English thanked the Board for providing comments. The documents are large and he appreciates the Board’s thorough
review and thoughtful comments.
Board Member Rubenkonig pointed out that impact fees were not identified in either plan as a potential funding source for
transportation and walkway improvements. Mr. English said this revenue stream is identified in the CIP under Fund 112. He
explained that the City has both transportation and park impact fee programs, and funds are collected when development
occurs within the City. However, it is important to understand that the money can only be used for certain projects. For
example, transportation impact fee dollars can only be used to address concurrency or LOS.
Board Member Rubenkonig asked if some of the funding for the 5 Corners Roundabout Project will be used to study how
well the roundabout is working to determine if it meets its LOS expectation. Mr. English explained that projects of this
magnitude that are funded with federal dollars take quite some time to close out. The money identified in 2015 will be used
for this purpose.
Chair Cloutier opened the public hearing. As there was no one in the audience, the hearing was closed.
BOARD MEMBER LOVELL MOVED THAT THE BOARD FORWARD THE 2015 – 2020 CAPITAL
IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM AND CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR REVIEW
AND SUBSEQUENT ADOPTION, AS WRITTEN, WITH THE RECOMMENDATION THAT THE CITY
COUNCIL TAKE UP THE MATTER OF A POTENTIAL PUBLIC RESTROOM IN THE DOWNTOWN. VICE
CHAIR TIBBOTT SECONDED THE MOTION.

Board Member Rubenkonig said she supports the motion, but questioned if it would be appropriate to also include the
changes she requested earlier regarding the project descriptions. Mr. English indicated that staff would add additional
information to the project descriptions wherever possible, recognizing that some of the details are not yet available. The
Board agreed that the issue did not need to be addressed in the motion.
THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
CONTINUED DISCUSSION OF COMPREHENSIVE PLAN HOUSING ELEMENT UPDATE
Ms. Hope said the purpose of tonight’s discussion is to talk more about the 2015 Comprehensive Plan update, and
specifically the Housing Element. She recalled that, at the Board’s last meeting, staff reported that the City is partnering with
other cities and Snohomish County in the Alliance for Housing Affordability (AHA), a group formed from Snohomish
County Tomorrow. Through this effort, an affordable housing profile has been created for each of the participating
jurisdictions. She introduced Kristina Gallant, Analyst, Alliance for Housing Affordability, who was present to walk the
Board through the findings of the Edmonds’ Affordable Housing Profile.
Kristina Gallant, Analyst, Alliance for Housing Affordability, provided a brief overview of the AHA, which consists of 13
cities in Snohomish County, Snohomish County, and the Housing Authority of Snohomish County. She reminded the Board
that there is a Growth Management Act (GMA) mandate for cities to plan for housing to accommodate all segments of the
population. The purpose of the AHA is to allow participating cities to share resources and get the help they need in a cost-
effective way. The AHA was formed in November of 2013, and since that time she has been working to assess existing
conditions and prepare profiles for each of the participating cities.
Ms. Gallant explained that, when talking about affordable housing, people typically think about heavily subsidized housing,
which is an important element, but not everything. If housing is affordable, but not appropriate for the community, it does
not work. It is important to address the different needs and preferences of each community such as adequacy of safety,
proximity to transportation, jobs, and affordability.
Ms. Gallant provided an overview of the Edmonds Housing Profile, particularly emphasizing the following key elements:
There are currently 39,950 residents living in the City, and Edmonds is projected to accommodate nearly 5,000 new
residents by 2035. This is a dramatic change over the stable population levels the City has seen over the past 20
years. The increase would require 2,790 additional housing units, which is near the City’s estimated capacity of
2,646 units.
The 2012 population includes 17,396 households with an average household size of 2.3 people compared to 2.6 for
the County. The average family size in Edmonds is 2.8 compared to 3.12 for the County.
Housing in Edmonds is mostly comprised of single-family homes, but most growth will need to be accommodated
in multi-family development. About 31% of Edmonds residents and 33% of County residents currently live in
rented homes, and the proportion of homeowners remained relatively constant between 2000 and 2010, increasing
slightly from 68% to 69%. About 36% of Edmonds population lives in multi-family homes compared with 31%
across the County.
The City’s median income ($73,072) is relative high compared to other cities in the region, and home values are
general higher, as well.
A significant number of the homes in Edmonds were built between 1950 and 1959 compared to the County overall.
Currently, 38% of Edmonds households are estimated to be cost burdened, which means they spend more than 30%
of their monthly income on rent or home ownership costs.
According to 2013 Dupre and Scott data, Edmonds rental housing market is generally affordable to households
earning at least 80% Average Median Income (AMI). Households earning between 50% and 80% AMI will find the
majority of homes smaller than five bedrooms affordable, as well.
A limited supply of small units is affordable to those earning between 30 and 50% AMI, but market rents are not
affordable to extremely low-income households.

Planning Board Minutes
September 24, 2014 Page 9
A lack of affordable rental housing for extremely low and very low-income households is very common. Some kind
of financial assistance is typically required in order to operate a property and keep rents low enough in today’s
housing market.
Assistance can be ongoing to make up the difference between 30% of tenants’ income and market rents. Other
options include capital funding that reduces the overall project costs (considered workforce housing), making it
possible to keep rent levels down.
Edmonds currently has 303 units of subsidized housing with a range of rental assistance sources. It also has 201
units of workforce housing distributed across three properties. These units received some form of one-time subsidy
(i.e. low-income tax credit, grants, etc.) in exchange for rent restrictions, but they do not involve rental assistance
and rents are not tailored to individual household incomes. In addition, the City has 16 units of transitional housing.
However, with 5,322 households earning less than 50% AMI, there is still a need to increase the supply.
In 2012, the median sale price for a single-family home in Edmonds was $339,975. This would require an annual
income of at least $75,796, which is just above the City’s median income ($73,072).
Affordability for 2013 cannot be calculated at this time, but average assessed values suggest that home prices are
rising as the housing market continues to recover following the recession, and affordability is retreating.
Edmonds has the third highest average assessed 2014 home values in Snohomish County ($351,100), which
represents a 10.7% increase over 2013.
Edmonds has one of the highest percentages of elderly residents among Snohomish County cities; 25% of the
households have individuals 65 years or older. In addition to having generally lower incomes, seniors will require
different types of housing and services if they desire to age in place.
Ms. Gallant advised that the City has already taken a number of steps to promote affordable housing, and there is a range of
options it can consider to respond to the continuing needs of the community. In addition to promoting, adjusting and
providing incentives for housing policies where appropriate, the City should continue to monitor and evaluate its policies to
make sure there are no unnecessary regulatory barriers to affordable housing. The Housing Profile is meant to be a resource
for the City as it moves through its Comprehensive Plan update. The AHA’s goal is to continue to work with participating
cities from a technical advisory standpoint, researching what is needed to help establish goals for housing, identifying
potential methods for implementation, and identifying funding sources that are available to support infrastructure related to
housing.
Board Member Robles asked what can be done to promote house-sharing opportunities in Edmonds. He suggested that this
opportunity is not always about making money; it is about people trying to hang on to their homes. Ms. Gallant replied that
many cities have ordinances in place that allow accessory dwelling units, but they vary significantly. It is important for cities
to review their provisions for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) to make sure they are easy to understand and that the
requirements and processes are not so onerous as to be cost prohibitive. The AHA’s goal is to work with participating cities
to develop better policies and make sure there are no unnecessary barriers. At the same time, they must be cognizant to
balance the new policies with the other needs of the City.
Board Member Rubenkonig pointed out that ADUs were not addressed in the AHA’s report. Ms. Gallant agreed that data
related to accessory dwelling units was not included in her report, and she would definitely like to research this opportunity
more.
Board Member Stewart complimented Ms. Gallant for a great report and a good start for metrics. However, she agreed with
Board Member Rubenkonig that, at some point, the City must include ADUs in the metrics. She also suggested the City
consider expanding its ADU provisions as a type of housing option to help the City meet its growth targets. She expressed
concern that the numbers provided in the report is based on the number of bedrooms and size is not factored into the
variables. Ms. Gallant agreed that the data is not as detailed as it could be, but it is intended to start the conversation.
Vice Chair Tibbott asked if the AHA has studied whether or not it is less costly to develop high-density residential versus
low-density residential units. He said it would be helpful to have information about the average cost of producing the various
types of affordable housing compared to the outcome. Ms. Gallant said she would like to study per unit development costs at
some point in the future. In general, the housing costs are reflected through the rent and home sales, and there is a lot of
debate about whether high density produces more affordable units. Increasing the supply over the long term is what needs to
happen. When there is a choke point in the supply, housing prices will rise.

September 24, 2014 Page 10
Vice Chair Tibbott recalled the Board’s previous discussion point to the fact that just building small units does not mean they
will be affordable. He noted that using lower cost finishes is one approach that can reduce the cost of the units, but he
questioned if it would be possible to produce enough of these units in Edmonds to make a difference. He asked if any
thought has been given to lowering development costs or allowing different types of development so developers can produce
more affordable units. For example, the City could consider reduced permit fees or tax incentives. Ms. Gallant said the
AHA is interested in researching this issue.
Ms. Hope explained that the next step is for staff to review the current Housing Element and come back to the Board with a
revised version that incorporates the new information contained in the Housing Profile and other census data. She explained
that one aspect of updating each Comprehensive Plan element is to identify a performance measure that will be meaningful,
yet easy for the City to replicate with data annually. In addition, an action (implementation) step may be identified to help
achieve progress on certain issues. Staff is recommending that the performance measure for the Housing Element be a set
number of residential units permitted each year. The exact number could be filled in later in the year when data is ready.
This information would enable the City track its progress in allowing housing that will accommodate expected growth. Staff
is also proposing that the action item for the Housing Element be to develop a strategy by 2019 for increasing the supply of
affordable housing and meeting diverse housing needs. She explained that there are many different ways to address
affordability and several tools can be utilized to encourage affordable housing while looking at the overall housing needs.
The proposed performance measure can get at the overall supply of housing units in Edmonds, but it is more difficult to
measure affordability.
Chair Cloutier expressed his belief that counting the number of bedrooms is the appropriate approach since the goal is to
provide “beds for the heads.” The City could easily collect data for this metric. However, the affordability aspect is more
market driven than the City can control and it would be very difficult to measure. Board Member Robles suggested that one
option would be to offer a micro-tax incentive to encourage developers to report correctly.
Board Member Rubenkonig observed that the Growth Management Act deals with affordable housing as more population
based. However, population translates into housing, and that is why it is a good proxy for population. You have to have
housing for people to live in. The Growth Management does not define affordable housing, and it does not provide specific
policies on how to encourage more affordable housing.
Board Member Robles asked if the City can track ADUs. Ms. Hope answered affirmatively, as long as they have a valid
permit. However, it would be very difficult to track rooms for rent.
Board Member Stewart asked if a three-bedroom unit would be considered three units. Ms. Hope answered that it would
only count as one unit. Board Member Stewart pointed out that household size has decreased in Edmonds in recent years, but
the size of the units has increased.
Board Member Lovell recalled that the City has fairly stringent building restrictions with respect to ADUs. If they are
serious about meeting the Growth Management Act (GMA) targets and accommodating an increased population, this issue
will have to be addressed. He noted that the Board has been talking about the growth targets and opportunities for affordable
housing for a number of years, but the City Council has a history of not taking action to accommodate mixed-use
development with higher densities. While it is fine for the Board to discuss the issue again and put forth plans, he is not
convinced anything will change in the near future unless the makeup of the City Council changes dramatically.
Mr. Chave clarified that ADUs are not considered multi-family apartments or second dwellings. The definition remains
single-family. Extended family members and/or parents could live in a permitted ADU, as long as all the occupants in both
units are related. It gets more complicated when unrelated people live in the units. The definition of "family" says that up to
five unrelated people can live on a single-family property. For example, a family of four could rent to a single person or a
family of three could rent to two people. In addition, ADUs must be attached to the main unit, and there are size limitations.
There has been a steady uptick of ADUs in the City, particularly involving large, older homes. He noted that no permit
would be required to rent a room to someone. The key distinction is whether or not there are separate living units.

Planning Board Minutes
September 24, 2014 Page 11
Ms. Hope added that the City has made the choice not to count ADUs as separate housing units. She suggested this is a
lesser issue compared to the policies that guide the use. Mr. Chave explained that if ADUs are counted as separate units,
requirements such as impact fees would come into plan. Chair Cloutier suggested that ADUs could be counted differently for
the metrics versus the code.
The Board expressed general support for the proposed Housing Element performance measure and action step. However,
they expressed a desire to forward with developing a strategy for increasing the supply of affordable housing and meeting
diverse housing needs sooner than 2019 if resources are available.
Board Member Rubenkonig said she likes the term “housing options” rather than “lower-income housing.” She wants to
know that people can remain in the community of Edmonds at different stages of their lives. Although sometimes they can
afford larger houses, they need smaller units.
Board Member Stewart expressed concern that the older homes in Edmonds are being torn down and redeveloped into units
that are three times more costly than the prior home. She would like the City to offer incentives to property owners to retain
their existing homes. The City must offer a variety of housing options to serve the citizens. Ms. Hope agreed and said the
issue would be addressed as part of the strategy.
Board Member Lovell referred to an article in THE SEATTLE TIMES titled, “Builders Say Land in Short Supply.” This
article applies directly to the Board’s current discussion. Until cities find ways to accommodate more multi-family housing,
the demand will remain high in the future, and the prices will continue to increase. Right now, the City does not have a great
track record for accommodating this kind of development. The City is already built out, and the only way to accommodate
more people is to allow more density.
PRESENTATION ON DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS AND ACTIVITIES
Ms. Hope and Mr. Chave made a brief presentation on development projects and activities. Ms. Hope noted that the same
presentation was made to the City Council on September 23rd. The purpose of the presentation is to recreate the story of
everything that has happened related to development in the City over the past several years, particularly highlighting the
present activity. She advised that the Development Services Department is comprised of the Engineering Division, the
Building Division and the Planning Division. Its goal is to provide assistance to people interested in improving or developing
their property via discussions, data, handouts, permitting and inspections. She reported that she has received number
compliments on the quality of service that staff provides. While not everyone is always happy, staff tries hard to be
courteous, respectful and helpful. Staff members work in different ways to serve the community. For example:
Field inspections are performed by building inspectors, engineering inspectors and planning staff. Not counting site
visits, more than 6,000 inspections have been performed over the last year.
Staff members meet together in teams to coordinate on different projects and activities.
Staff also meets with applicants and developers to provide pre-application assistance for development projects that
are being planned.
Ms. Hope advised that the Planning Division is responsible for a number of different types of permits, including short plats,
variances, and other permits related to planning and land-use codes. A number of different planning permits were approved
over the past seven months. She provided a graph to illustrate the number of permits and revenue generated from January
through August in 2001 through 2014. She noted that the data reflects the economic climate over the last several years.
There as a big jump in development permits in 2006 through 2008, but permitting dropped off quickly after that. As the
economy improves, the City is once again seeing an increase in the number of permits.
Ms. Hope said the Building Division is responsible for certain types of permits, as well, some of which are reviewed by the
Planning and Engineering Divisions, as well. These projects added $38,000 to the City of Edmonds in terms of values and
buildings. It is anticipated that upcoming key projects will double that number in just a few months. Mr. Chave noted that
Swedish Edmonds Hospital’s project was not factored into those numbers yet, and it should add $28,000 in value.

Ms. Hope reported that the City issued significantly more solar panel permits in 2014 compared to 2012 and 2013, and most
of those permits were applied for on line. Mr. Chave advised that the City’s Building Official has been working with other
cities, including Seattle, Bellevue and Ellensburg, on a program to encourage solar installations using grant funding from the
State Department of Commerce. The program has been implemented in a few cities as a pilot to figure out how to streamline
and reduce the costs of solar permitting. A few incentive programs were rolled out recently in Edmonds. He summarized
that it is through a combination of programs that the City is seeing a significant increase in the number of solar permits. This
speaks directly to the work they have done to improve the process and provide more information. The City will continue to
work hard to encourage solar in the community, and he anticipates the numbers will continue to increase.
Ms. Hope reported that for the period between September 1, 2013 and August 31, 2104, the Engineering Division issued 591
engineering permits, for total permit fees of $93,285.44. They also performed 1094 inspections, for total inspection fees of
$124,815.82. In addition, they completed an estimated 1,200 reviews of plans.
Ms. Hope provided a map identifying the location of key development projects in Edmonds. Mr. Chave explained that the
Development Services Department currently has a total of 544 active issued building permits. These building permits are
typically issued early in the year and take time to progress through. There is still a tremendous amount of work to be done on
most of them. Mr. Chave specifically noted the following:
There are currently 52 active new single-family residence permits. This is a significant increase, and one
particularly large project is a 27-lot subdivision in the southwest part of the City that is starting to develop.
Swedish Edmonds Hospital recently completed its three-story parking garage. This was an $8.4 million project with
over 108,000 square feet of space. They are currently working on an expansion that will add a 94,000 square foot,
state-of-the-art facility valued at about $28 million. This project was not reflected in the numbers provided earlier.
Clearing and excavating work is currently taking place for a new mixed-use building in the downtown that will
include a somewhat down-sized post office. The project will provide 94,256 square feet of space, with 43
residential units, the post office, and retail space. The project is valued at $7.2 million.
The Community Health Clinic is a new 24,750 facility that houses a medical and dental clinic. The project was
completed in July of 2014 and is valued at $2.6 million.
The Salish Crossing Project will be a complete remodel of the “old Safeway site” into five new tenant spaces and a
museum within the existing building. Parking lot and pedestrian improvements are also proposed as part of the
project.
The Jacobsen’s Marine Project will create a new 10,120 square foot marine service building valued at $810,000 on
Port of Edmonds property. This will be a big deal in terms of retail sales, as the company is a significant seller of
boats and marine supplies.
Prestige Care is developing a new 48,782 square foot skilled nursing facility on 76th Avenue West. The project is
valued at $6.9 million. The new building will replace the existing facility.
Excavation work is going on now for the 5th Avenue Animal Hospital, which will be a 10,562 square foot veterinary
clinic that is valued at $891,000. The new building will help fill the gap between the strong retail uses on the south
end of 5th Avenue and the downtown retail area.
The City is transitioning to new technology, particularly on-line permit applications and digital permit reviews.
Chair Cloutier thanked Ms. Holt and Mr. Chave for the report, which he found to be enlightening and helped him understand
the big projects that are occurring in the City.
REVIEW OF EXTENDED AGENDA
The Board did not review their extended agenda.
PLANNING BOARD CHAIR COMMENTS
Chair Cloutier thanked the Board Members for enduring a long meeting. There was a lot on their plate and the issues are
important. He also thanked Vice Chair Tibbott for presenting the Planning Board’s quarterly report to the City Council.

PLANNING BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS
Board Member Rubenkonig said she enjoyed being able to download the meeting packet. Mr. Chave explained that he will
work with the City Clerk to learn how to in bed page numbers into the documents so they are easier for the Board to use.
Board Member Stewart referred to the two links to videos that were forwarded to Board Members by Ms. Hope. The first
video is general about the value of comprehensive plans and important issues to consider when updating them. The second
video is called “Planning Roles and Citizen Participation.” She said she reviewed both videos, and she encouraged the other
Board Members, as well as City Council Members, to do the same. She particularly recommended the second video, which
shows some striking parallels to not only the Planning Board’s role, but how they interact with the City Council.
Board Member Stewart reminded the Board of the tour of the marsh and Shoreline that is scheduled for October 4th from
10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. The tour will be led by Keeley O’Connell and a representative from the Tribes. Participants
should meet in front of the Harbor Square Athletic Club. She explained that the tour is part of her citizen project called
“Students Saving Salmon.” In addition to the students, members of the Planning Board, City Council and Mayor’s Climate
Protection Committee are invited to attend.
Vice Chair Tibbott pointed out that if the City is expected to accommodate an additional 5,000 residents before 2035, this
equates to about 250 addition people per year. If this number is divided by the average household size of just over two, the
number of new units needed each year is 125. This year the City added just 33 new single-family residential homes and no
duplexes or multi-family units. Mr. Chave clarified that the post office project will provide an additional 43 multi-family
residential units for a total of about 76 new residential units. It is likely the number will grow before the end of the year. The
best report to look at will be the year-end report that captures all the projects that were completed in 2014. He suspects the
final number will be about 100, which is a good year for the City.
Vice Chair Tibbott provided a brief review of the quarterly report he presented to the City Council on behalf of the Board.
He reported that several City Council Members said they read the Board’s comments and recommendations and they
appreciated their work. One City Council Member was somewhat critical of the one meeting the Board held when there was
not a quorum of members, yet they reported information that was put together that evening. He didn’t go into the details
about the nature of the meeting, but the City Council Member expressed concern that it seemed like the Board was pushing
forward an agenda that neither the City Council nor the City staff was ready for. Mr. Chave clarified that there was some
confusion about the timeline. The City Council had actually talked about the Highway 99 stuff at their retreat before the
Board met with the Highway 99 Task Force. The Board’s discussion was a follow up to the points made by the City Council.
He did not feel the Board was out in front of the City Council in this situation.
Board Member Lovell asked if any progress has been made to fill the vacant Planning Board position. Mr. Chave answered
that Mayor Earling is in the process of interviewing four candidates.

Council held its first study session on October 14, 2014 (minutes attached).
October 28, 2014 Council Meeting: Due to the lateness of the hour the Continued Discussion on Study
Sessions was rescheduled as an item for this agenda.
Narrative
At the City Council Meeting on September 23, 2014, a Study Session example format was tested. This
discussion is to set a policy on the format of these types of meetings. Items to consider now will be:
1) Start time of meetings – consistent with Business Meetings or change meeting time altogether? Study
Meeting dates set at 6PM unless executive session and if executive session, meeting will start after 6PM
executive session. Regular Meetings to start at 7PM. Compromise? Does Council want all meetings to
start at 6:30?
2) Configuration of tables, some Council Members do not want their back to the audience and others want
to have an informal set-up where discussion can easily occur which means having Council Members face
each other.
3) SPEAKING into the microphone. This needs to happen. Many complaints as some Council Members
were not heard.
4) All presentations need to be available for the public to see. As an example, the insurance switch was
handled at the table with Council but no overhead was shown for the public.
5) Round-robin – Doesn’t have to be round robin per se but Council Members are allowed one or two
questions and then another Council Member is allowed to answer questions.
6) Timing for discussions – with Westgate, there was maybe 15 minutes afforded for questions; do we
want to have at least one-half hour set aside for discussions?
Packet Page 390 of 411
7) Understood that all items that are moved, are moved onto Consent for the next week, unless specified.

9. DISCUSSION REGARDING CITY COUNCIL MEETING FORMAT
Development Services Director Hope explained at a Council retreat in May there was discussion about
ways to make Council meetings more efficient and effective and allowing more dialogue between
Councilmembers prior to voting on an item. One idea that was briefly discussed was the possibility of two
study sessions per month alternating with two business meetings per month. At business meetings, the
Council would take official action. Study sessions would be an opportunity for Councilmembers to have
dialogue, ask questions, etc.; votes would not be taken at study sessions. Under the proposal both
business meetings and study sessions would be recorded and televised. Typically at a study session the
Council would be seated around a table instead of seated at the dais. Many other cities in this area have a
similar format; it works well to get things done and provides an opportunity for conversation.
Ms. Hope explained by including all Councilmembers in the conversation, separate community meetings
would not be needed as all information can be presented to the Council in a transparent, public process.
An exception could be made for the Finance Committee to address routine business as the Council may
choose. She summarized alternating study sessions and business meetings would be a more efficient way
for the Council to have dialogue. Although the exact details do not have to be included in the code, if the
Council chooses this format, some minor amendments to the code will be necessary. If the Council is
interested in this format, she suggested providing direction to the City Attorney to craft an ordinance for
consideration at a future meeting.
Councilmember Mesaros observed under this proposal, the Finance Committee would meet before one of
the study sessions. He felt the committee meetings were quite efficient and typically lasted only an hour.
He suggested holding the other two committee meetings at the same time as the Finance Committee
meeting. For example, start at the committee meetings at 6:30 p.m. and begin the study session at 7:30
p.m. That would allow the committees to discuss some items that would be scheduled on the consent
agenda. Ms. Hope agreed that was an option. One of the rationales behind not having committee meetings
was it was difficult to be fully functional for another, longer meeting after a committee meeting.
Secondly, committee meetings are often discussion on items that still need to be discussed by the full
Council, resulting in repetition.
Councilmember Mesaros commented that was an agenda management issues; items that require
discussion by the full Council would not go to committee. The committees could review items that were
typically scheduled on the consent agenda. If an item needed to be reviewed by the full Council, it could
be discussed at a study session. He acknowledged sometimes the full Council will discuss an item that
could have been on the Consent Agenda. Councilmembers can always request an item be moved from the
Consent Agenda to the full agenda.
Council President Buckshnis expressed support for the proposed format. She noted there are items that
some Councilmembers want discussed by the full Council. To ensure transparency, she preferred to have
the Council’s discussions televised. A determination can be made by the Council President, Council
President Pro Tem and the Mayor regarding items to be placed on the Consent Agenda. She suggested
trying this format; if it doesn’t work, the format can be changed back. She referred to last week’s agenda
as an example of how many items ended up on the agenda, several that Councilmembers did not want
moved to the Consent Agenda. She summarized eliminating committee meetings will minimize
repetition.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas said she liked this idea because the Council was able to have a full
discussion. Sometimes when things are discussed by a committee, by the time it comes to Council, the
other Councilmembers may not know the reason the committee supported or did not support an item.
Having two study sessions and two work sessions and eliminating two committees will make the
Packet Page 393 of 411
Council’s job easier. She did not find the Public Safety & Personnel (PSP) or the Planning & Public
Works (PPP) Committees very effective as often staff gives a full report to the committee and then give it
again to the full Council. She was uncertain how items would be scheduled on the Consent Agenda as
there are different opinions regarding what should be on the Consent Agenda and what should be
presented to the full Council. Ms. Hope said the Q&A in the Council packet includes criteria for items
that would be on the Consent Agenda although she understood that could differ between
Councilmembers.
Councilmember Petso agreed with Councilmember Mesaros, stating she found the committee structure
incredibly efficient. If two committee members listen to a presentation such as regarding a lift station and
determine it can be on the Consent Agenda, that saves the Council time and does not damage
transparency. Councilmembers also have 10-12 days’ notice before an item appears on the Consent
Agenda and can pull it for further questions if necessary. She was also very concerned with splitting the
committees; if the motivation was to include all Councilmember to improve transparency, clearly the one
committee that should no long exist is Finance. It is important Finance Committee items be done in the
open and in the public and not by a small group of Councilmembers behind closed doors and placing
items on the Consent Agenda. She recalled an example of that in the past with the contingent loan
agreement with the Public Facilities District, a $4 million guarantee by the City, that was placed on the
Consent Agenda and did not want to risk that again. If the Finance Committee morphs into a Long Range
Financial Task Force she felt that needed to be done in the public. Long Range Financial Task Forces
inevitably conclude a levy will be needed in the future and a levy requires the participation and
endorsement of all seven Councilmembers. She preferred to retain the current committees or eliminate all
of them. Her preference was study sessions and the current committees; the committees could regulate
what needs a study session.
Councilmember Johnson was an advocate of this proposal, advising she has seen work effectively in other
jurisdictions. One of the big advantages is the format; having the Council seated at the table allows
conversation amongst Councilmembers and staff presenting information and it will be easier to see the
screen. This is an effective way to do business; change is difficult and there is a tendency to do things the
way they have always been done. She supported having study sessions, acknowledging there will be a
transition period to sort things out but in the end it was worth trying.
Councilmember Peterson commented one of the most dangerous phrases in the English language is we’ve
always done things that way. He supported the proposal, finding it an excellent idea. The proposed
criteria will determine what is scheduled on the Consent Agenda. In his early years on the Council, many
items were on the Consent Agenda that had not been reviewed by committee. That changed after some
surprise items on the Consent Agenda; the proposal will address that without the unnecessary minutia in
committee meetings. The Council can add additional guidelines and Councilmembers have the ability to
pull items from the Consent Agenda. The proposed format allows Councilmembers to ask questions of
staff, adds transparency and assists staff, the public and councilmembers. It will provide greater
opportunity for the public to see more of what is going on and gives Councilmember a better
understanding of the details.
Councilmember Bloom said she emailed Councilmembers a proposed hybrid approach but was unable to
find it now. She suggested Senior Executive Council Assistant Jana Spellman find the email with her
suggested approach. Councilmember Bloom explained she averaged the number of committee items and
found an average of 17.2 total items per month. The PSP Committee has a lot fewer agenda items,
Finance and PPP Committees have the highest number of agenda items. Her analysis also considered
public comments at committee meetings. She found that public comment at committees was more
intimate and allowed conversation.
Packet Page 394 of 411
Councilmember Bloom suggested holding committee meetings before meetings and two work sessions to
discuss all the items the Council typically considers and are most likely not to be scheduled on Consent
Agenda. She also suggested holding committee meetings following one Council meeting per month to
discuss items that seem to be Consent Agenda items. This approach would cover all the bases. She was
concerned with eliminating the PPP Committee as reviewing the volume of agenda items would be an
enormous burden on the full Council. She preferred to have the PPP Committee screen those items.
Councilmember Bloom was also concerned the proposal to continue the Finance Committee, comprised
of the Council President and two other Councilmembers, places an additional responsibility on the
Council President. An option would be to eliminate the PSP Committee since most of the items are on
Consent and those that are not, require discussion by the full Council such as the ethics policy and code of
conduct. If the PSP Committee were eliminated, Councilmembers with the exception of the Council
President, could be divided among the two remaining committees. She requested the Council consider
this hybrid approach and for the information in her email to be provided the next time the Council
discusses this topic.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas did not support having committee meetings following Council meetings.
Often the Council meets as early as 6 p.m. for an executive session; having a committee meeting
following a Council meeting would be very difficult. She suggested dissolving the PSP and PPP
Committees and holding the Finance Committee meeting prior to a Council meeting and filming it.
Councilmember Mesaros clarified his proposal was also a hybrid; the committees would be retained and
meet at the same time as the Finance Committee. To avoid repetition, the committees can consider items
that will be scheduled on the Consent Agenda, items the full Council should discuss will not be reviewed
by a committee.
Councilmember Petso endorsed Councilmember Mesaros’ approach which would retain the committees.
Another option is to shift park-related items to the PSP Committee to better distribute agenda items,
noting Ms. Hite already attends the PSP meetings to present items related to personnel.
Council President Buckshnis assured it was not her intent to have Finance Committee meetings that were
secret or behind closed doors. She agreed with Councilmember Fraley-Monillas’ suggestion to have
Finance Committee meetings filmed. She suggested retaining the Finance Committee because of the four
cities listed, three kept their Finance Committee. She felt it was more effective to discuss long range
financing, budget forecasting and policy discussions in a smaller group setting and then forward it to the
full Council. She included the Council President in the Finance Committee to add a third member. She
supported trying the alternating study session with only the Finance Committee and if a Councilmember
had an issue with a Consent Agenda item, it could be pulled.
Council President Buckshnis said in Council Presidents, Councilmembers and Mayors in other cities
agree this is a more efficient method; it avoids duplication of work and information and allows for better
communication between Councilmembers and with the public. If the public is uncomfortable with being
filmed during a Council during study sessions, their comments can be audio recorded rather than filmed.
Councilmember Peterson said he was initially undecided about keeping the Finance Committee; it makes
sense as it is the basis of a lot of decisions. With only the Finance Committee, it can be televised and
additional Councilmembers can attend the Finance Committee meeting if they wish because the meetings
are noticed as open public meeting. Televising the Finance Committee meetings also allows the public to
see the steps in the process. If all three committees are retained, there is no way to televise all three.
Packet Page 395 of 411
Councilmember Bloom asked how the Finance Committee meeting could be televised. Councilmember
Peterson explained their meeting would be held before the work session. If all Councilmembers can
attend the Finance Committee meeting and it is televised, Councilmember Bloom pointed out the items
could just be discussed at a full Council meeting. She supported having two work sessions per month.
However, during the budget process it was her understanding the Council President found it difficult to
schedule agenda items and she anticipated it would be even more difficult if action would not be taken at
two meetings per month.
Councilmember Petso agreed with Councilmember Bloom’s comment regarding scheduling in the final
quarter of year. She experienced that last year and recalled Councilmember Peterson chastising the
Council with the phrase, “we’re running out of Tuesdays in this calendar year.” If the Council chooses to
change the format, she suggested beginning in January.
Council President Buckshnis recalled last year there was a closed record review that consumed a great
deal of the Council’s time. She has worked with Mayor and Directors on the extended agenda and
preferred to try the proposed process beginning in October. She reiterated her support for retaining the
Finance Committee, pointing out three of four cities have a Finance Committee and it is important to have
policy discussion and long term planning in a committee meeting.
Mayor Earling advised the discussion will continue next week. Council President Buckshnis relayed the
agenda item next week will include action.
Mayor Earling declared a brief recess.
10. DISCUSSION OF PLANNING BOARD'S RECOMMENDATION FOR PROPOSED ZONING
CHANGES RELATED TO WESTGATE
Planning Manager Rob Chave provided background on the Westgate code discussion:
• Public hearing on August 4, 2014
• Staff has reviewed the hearing record and follow-up discussion on the draft code. As part of that
review, staff suggested:
o Make sure that the code is consistent with the expressed intent
o Remove inconsistencies
• Approximately a dozen issues were combined into seven discussion topics:
1. Commercial requirements
• Clarifying the various building types to include commercial requirements, especially
regarding the commercial mixed use types
Building Type Residential Uses Office Uses Retail
1. Rowhouse Any floor Not allowed Not allowed
2. Courtyard Any floor Ground floor only Ground floor only
3. Stacked dwellings Any floor Ground floor only Ground floor only
4. Live-work Not ground floor Ground floor only Ground floor only
5. Loft mixed use Not ground floor Any floor Any floor
6. Side Court Mixed use Not ground floor Any floor Ground floor only
7. Commercial Mixed use Not ground floor Not ground floor Any floor
8. Assuring commercial space
• Adjusted the building type location diagram (page 8) to be more consistent with the
overall intended commercial mixed use chapter of Westgate. (The old diagram is
included on page 9 for reference, but will be deleted if the new diagram on page 8 is
preferable.
Packet Page 396 of 411
is considering, it is the intensity of adjacent land uses. Ecology suggested the interim designation to allow
the City and the Port to determine reach agreement on development in Urban Mixed Use IV environment.
The Port has expressed support for a 50-foot buffer. Ecology’s letter recommends the Council consider
changing the proposed marsh buffer to a 50-foot minimum width with an interim designation and add
additional language that recognizes the final buffer and setback will be determined within the Harbor
Square redevelopment process.
Councilmember Mesaros asked whether the setback had to be 50 feet or 150 feet or could it be 75 feet.
Mr. Lien answered it can be whatever the Council sets. The 50-foot setback recommended by the
Planning Board was considered to be consistent with the no net loss requirement. The 150-foot setback
originally came from Small Jurisdiction Wetlands Guidance where Category 1 wetlands such as the
Edmonds Marsh have a 150-foot buffer. Ecology noted through their SMP handbook that a setback alone
without a buffer requirement would meet the SMA requirement. Setting the setback at 50 feet is wider
than the current 25-foot open space requirement in the current contract rezone. Councilmember Mesaros
pointed out this proposal doubles the existing requirement. Mr. Lien agreed.
Councilmember Peterson expressed concern with the 150-foot setback particularly with the
redevelopment that is occurring at the Antique Mall property. He asked whether the Port could do any
stormwater mitigation in the Antique Mall parking lot with a 150-foot setback. Mr. Lien answered that
would be considered a restoration project and would be allowed with the 150-foot setback.
Councilmember Peterson commented if a restaurant moved in, a view of the marsh would be
advantageous. He asked whether a deck could be constructed on the back of one of the buildings. Mr.
Lien answered not within the 150-foot setback. Councilmember Peterson referred to one of the building
where 3/4th of the buildings was in the setback and asked whether a roof penetration could be done to
install a hood. Mr. Lien answered improvements can be made within the existing building footprint but
the nonconformity cannot be expanded by adding anything in the setback area.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas referred to language in the letter from Ecology that states within this
designation the Council has approved a 50-foot buffer with a 100-foot setback. The purpose of the interim
designation is to give the Port and the City time to negotiate development plans for the Harbor Square
property. Ecology agrees with the concept of an interim designation for this property. Ecology is available
to help reach agreement on this important decision. Mr. Lien responded that was the reason for his
concern with the interim designation; Ecology suggested the interim designation assuming the City and
the Port are working together. Councilmember Fraley-Monillas observed the City and Port have not been
working together. Ecology’s offer to help reach an agreement is an important step in determining the best
setback and buffer. Mr. Lien agreed that could be worked on during the next two years.
Council President Pro Tem Johnson raised an issue that was discussed at the Planning Board; an area of
the 25-foot open space area between Harbor Square and the marsh that has been graveled and used for
temporary parking. She asked what steps have been/will be taken to restore that to open space and remove
the temporary parking. Mr. Lien answered no steps have been taken to remove the gravel parking next to
Harbor Square Athletic Club.
Councilmember Petso observed the letter from Ecology was dated spring 2014, the decision on the Port
plan was fall 2013. Mr. Lien answered the decision on the Port Master Plan was the end of 2013; he
acknowledged it has been awhile since this was discussed.
Mr. Lien advised a public hearing is scheduled on September 16.
11. DISCUSSION REGARDING CITY COUNCIL MEETING FORMAT
Packet Page 397 of 411
Development Services Director Shane Hope recalled the Council’s discussion last week as a follow up to
discussion at a retreat regarding ways for the Council to work together better and options for dialogue
without voting. The proposal is to alternate study sessions and business meetings and not have
committees other than a Finance Committee to address routine or designated business. Not having
committee meetings would allow all Councilmembers to hear presentations and Q&A and not have it
done twice, once at a committee meeting and again at a Council meeting.
Councilmember Mesaros reiterated he was in favor of this format. However, if the Finance Committee
continued to meet, he recommended the other two committees also continue to meet. If the purpose is to
allow the full Council to discuss items, he recommended not having any committee meetings. If finance is
such an important topic, the full Council should be provided the information at a study session that would
have been provided at a Finance Committee meeting.
Councilmember Bloom agreed with Councilmember Mesaros’ suggestion. If the intent was for the
Finance Committee to meet at 6 p.m. and have the regular Council meeting start at 7 p.m., the Council
meeting could simply start early and all Councilmembers could attend. Her primary concern with
eliminating all the committees is her research found an average of 17.2 committee meeting agenda items
per month. The committees screen items that come to the Council on a regular basis and schedule them on
the Consent Agenda which she felt was very efficient; Councilmembers have the option of pulling an item
from Consent. Some items reviewed by committee should go to the Council such as the Public Works
Quarterly Report. Rather than eliminating all the committees, she suggested the Council decide what
items should regularly come to the Council to prevent them from being reviewed in committee and by the
full Council. She was inclined not to change the Council meeting format unless all the committees were
eliminated.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT PRO TEM JOHNSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL
PRESIDENT BUCKSHNIS, TO DIRECT THE CITY ATTORNEY TO CREATE AN
ORDINANCE TO BRING BACK TO THE CITY COUNCIL TO AUTHORIZE STUDY SESSIONS
FOR THE COUNCIL’S FUTURE FORMAT SO THAT THERE WOULD BE TWO BUSINESS
SESSIONS AND TWO STUDY SESSIONS PER MONTH.
Councilmember Petso asked for clarification regarding what would happen with the committees under
Council President Pro Tem Johnson’s motion. Council President Pro Tem Johnson answered time will tell
what works best. She wanted the Council to have better dialogue with staff in the study session. She
recalled Finance Director Scott James said the Finance Committee meeting does not necessarily have to
be held Tuesday at 6 p.m.; it could be held at any time. Mr. James’ interest in retaining the Finance
Committee was not to do the regular work the committee is doing now but to have a long term strategy.
That could include all or some of the Council.
COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-MONILLAS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER
PETERSON, TO AMEND THE MOTION TO REMOVE ALL COMMITTEE MEETINGS.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas suggested starting without committee meetings and add them if
necessary. With regard to the Finance Committee, she felt it would be beneficial for all Councilmembers
to hear what occurs in the Finance Committee meetings. She suggested 15-30 minutes could be spent
during a study session to discuss Finance Committee meeting topics. She supported the study
session/business meeting format because she liked to hear why items were scheduled on the Consent
Agenda or the full agenda, noting it seemed to differ based on the Councilmembers on the committee or
even staff assigned to the committee; there was no consistency. She anticipated the Council may be able
to review agenda items more quickly with this format.
Councilmember Peterson suggested the first half hour of the first study session of the month consider
Finance Committee meeting topics.
Packet Page 398 of 411
In response to Councilmember Fraley-Monillas’ concern with why some items are scheduled on the
Consent Agenda and others are schedule for full Council, Councilmember Bloom relayed her
understanding that items that would be scheduled on the Consent Agenda would not be presented to the
full Council. The Council President would determine which items would be scheduled on the Consent
Agenda. Councilmember Fraley-Monillas suggested that could be worked out, perhaps by a smaller
subgroup; she supported abolishing the committees. Councilmember Bloom referred to the average of
17.2 items per month discussed by committee which equated to 8 items per study session in addition to
regular agenda items.
Mayor Pro Tem Buckshnis commented there are some routine things that are always scheduled on
Consent. Each meeting will have an agenda that includes a Consent Agenda each meeting.
Councilmembers can pull items from the Consent Agenda.
AMENDMENT CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
MAIN MOTION AS AMENDED CARRIED (6-1), COUNCILMEMBER PETSO VOTING NO.
For Mayor Pro Tem Buckshnis, Mr. Taraday explained the motion directed him to prepare an ordinance.
The Council did not need to wait until the effective date of the ordinance to implement the new process.
Under the current code, the Council has four meetings per month; the Council can decide to the two of the
meetings be study sessions and two be business meetings.
Mayor Pro Tem Buckshnis suggested the first study session be held on October 14.

For Council President Buckshnis, Mr. Taraday explained there is a difference between applying for and
accepting a grant. The City is not under any obligation to accept grant funds once it a grant is awarded
although the City would look bad to the granting agencies and potentially lose credibility if it rejected
grants on a regular basis. He has noticed the Council and administration may not be on the same page
about how to pursue grant funds and that a great deal of the frustration and tension regarding projects
often stems from a grant application. It is a chicken and egg problem, what authority if any should the
administration have to pursue grants; whether a project needs to be on a particular list in order to pursue a
grant. There is legitimate policy debate the Council needs to have regarding these questions.
Mr. Taraday commented another issue is prioritization of projects and who should prioritize projects, the
Council or administration, and can the administration pursue a grant for any project in the CFP. In reality,
administration has a better handle on what projects they can obtain funds for. The Council may have its
prioritized list but there needs to be better dialogue between the Council and the administration regarding
projects administration thinks funding can be obtained for which may not necessarily match the Council’s
prioritized list.
Council President Buckshnis commented using $10,000 to leverage $320,000 was a no brainer. She
agreed there may need to be a policy because this issue keeps coming up.
Councilmember Mesaros referred to Council President Buckshnis’ question and asked about the current
policy with regard to this set of facts. Mr. Taraday answered the Council currently adopts the budget at
the fund level which gives the administration the authority to reallocate funds as long as it does not
overspend the appropriation for a given fund. For example, the crosswalk, he supposed the fund language
was lenient to enough allow for some reallocation within the fund.
Councilmember Mesaros relayed his understanding that the City did not receive a grant from the State for
the crosswalk. Mr. Williams agreed, adding the City did not apply for a grant. Councilmember Mesaros
summarized therefore the project did not have to be on the CFP or CIP because it was not a City project.
Councilmember Petso said she understood that staff can reallocate within the fund but she was not aware
that staff could reallocate money to projects that are not on CFP, CIP or TIP. Mr. Taraday answered it
depends on how the documents are drafted; he has not been asked to analyze whether the way the current
budget is adopted gives the administration flexibility to reallocate funds to projects that are not otherwise
on the list.
If the Council approves a project such as a walkway and realistically funding is easier to obtain if the
project is converted into a multiuse pathway, Councilmember Petso asked whether that decision should
come back to Council or does approval of a walkway also approve a change in a project to cater to a grant
opportunity. Mr. Taraday answered there was a policy question and a legal question. Legally it depends
on how detailed the description of the project is. For example if the capital budget says in 2014 the City
will spend money on these and only these capital projects and those capital projects are very carefully
detailed in a manner that do not allow a change such as from a walkway to a multiuse path, it could not be
done without a budget amendment. He did not know if that had been done in the past.
Mayor Earling declared a brief recess. Council President Buckshnis distributed a suggested format for the
study session.
10. STUDY SESSION REGARDING THE PLANNING BOARD'S RECOMMENDATION FOR
PROPOSED ZONING CHANGES TO WESTGATE
Council President Buckshnis relayed tonight is a trial run; there will be a format in place for the next
study session on October 14. She described tonight’s format: a presentation from staff, followed by a
Packet Page 400 of 411
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes

Page 11
round robin of questions where each Councilmember is allowed three questions, and continuing until all
questions have been answered. If time permits after all the questions have been answered, the Council can
have a global discussion.
Planning Manager Rob Chave commented on the process to date including a Council public hearing on
August 4, 2014. He provided examples of recent changes/adjustments:
• Clarified standards for amenity space and open space, for example clarified 15% minimum for
each, clarified where these can be located
• Additional design standards for buildings
• Incentives for large retail spaces
With regard to traffic and setbacks:
• Traffic study shows no overall impact on level of service. Any future development will be
analyzed for detailed traffic impacts (e.g. turning movements, access points)
• 12-foot setback preserves options; SR-104 study in last 2014/early 2015 will identify any
additional recommendations for ROW improvements
• Setback requirements can be revised if needed
With regard to parking:
• Parking standards are minimums
• Added an increased parking standard (1.75 spaces per unit) for residential units that exceed 900
square feet. Achieves two goals:
o More residential parking for larger units (that may accommodate more residents per unit)
o Provides an added incentive for smaller units
• Proposed overall blended parking rate for commercial space is 1/500 square foot
• Existing grocery stores have a range 1 space per 350-370 square feet. Peak use is PM peak hour;
much less during other parts of day
• Current usage assumes a shared parking area, not just provided onsite (e.g. QFC property has 1
space per 475 square foot)
• Comparisons with other cities show blended parking rates vary widely many at 1/500 (Mountlake
Terrace, Bothell, Issaquah, Redmond, Kent), others at 1/400 (Bothell, Kent) or more. Some have
no commercial requirement (Everett, Renton). Rates also vary by location within jurisdictions
• Residential parking generally varies from 0.75 or 1.0 per unit to sometimes more for larger units
Regarding lots and setbacks:
• Commercial areas provide street and residential setbacks, but not other setbacks
• Provides flexibility for locating and linking businesses
Mr. Chave displayed and described an aerial photograph of the existing QFC and PCC buildings on lot
lines. He explained commercial areas provide setback in two ways, 1) from residential areas, and 2) from
streets. There are no side setbacks or minimum lot sizes in commercial areas. He noted the QFC and PCC
buildings were set on several of their lot lines. QFC owns their property; PCC leases their property.
He displayed an aerial photograph of the McDonalds site and described the amenity/open space versus
setbacks. He provided details regarding the McDonald’s property:
• 190 feet deep
• 400 feet wide
• Approx. 50 foot old front setback (actual - which includes 5-foot landscaping strip)
• Approx. 50 foot non-developed slope area
• 76,000 total lot area
Packet Page 401 of 411
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
September 23, 2014
Page 12
• 11,400 - 15% amenity space required
• 11,400 - 15% open space
• 20,000 protected slope area 26.3% of total site
• 4,800 front 12-foot setback 6.3% of total site
• 8,000 front 20-foot setback 10.5% of total site
• Development scenarios Existing Code New Code
o Minimum landscape/open/amenity area 8,000 31,400
o Are available for building 62,000 44,600
o Total potential floor area 124,000 133,800
With regard to amenity vs. open space:
• Clarified the intent to provide both amenity and open space within the area, with a 15%
independent requirement for each
• Amenity space must be public, while open space can be public or private. In either case, each has
its own requirement
• Note: No other zone in the City has anything like these requirements
With regard to commercial requirements:
• Clarified the various building types to indicate commercial requirements, especially regarding the
commercial mixed use types:
Building Type Residential Office Uses Retail
1. Rowhouse Any floor Not allowed Not allowed
2. Courtyard Any floor Ground floor only Ground floor only
3. Stacked Dwellings Any floor Ground floor only Ground floor only
4. Live-Work Any floor Ground floor only Ground floor only
5. Loft Mixed Use Not ground floor Any floor Any floor
6. Side Court Mixed Use Not ground floor Any floor Ground floor only
7. Commercial Mixed Use Not ground floor Not ground floor Any floor
He displayed the original and a revised building type map. With regard to building design, he explained:
• A series of design standards have been added, addressing such things as massing and articulation,
orientation to the street, ground level details, pedestrian facades, blank walls and ground floor
ceiling heights.
• Note that any 4th story “must be stepped back 10 feet from a building façade facing SR-104 or
100th Avenue West” (page 27)
Mr. Chave displayed illustrations in the plan, largely taken from the commercial building standards for
downtown. With regard to large format retail, he explained:
• Incentives have been added for large-format retail uses (e.g. groceries, drug stores)
1) Adding bonus points for large-format retail in the height bonus table (p. 38)
2) A potential for 5 more feet of building height to accommodate the need for higher ceiling
space in a large format retailers (the extra 5 feet is only available when a large format retail
space is provided in building (page 6/7)
• Intent is for large format retail to be retained; note existing leases/ownership and Bartell’s interest
in expanding their investment
Mr. Chave displayed a Height Bonus Score Sheet that identified amenities already required and items that
qualified for height bonus.

Councilmember Peterson referred to Mr. Chave’s statement that parking requirements are minimums. In
the example of Bartell’s, if they feel they need more parking to redevelop they will provide it to enhance
their business. Mr. Chave identified a lot behind Bartells that was provided in anticipation of a new
building. Bartells provided more parking than they needed in anticipation of that additional development
which did not occur due to the economy.
Councilmember Peterson commented there is a certain point in development where the developer makes
their decision; if the City does not overly restrict, the market will dictate what is required. Mr. Chave
answered one aspect of the market is the developer’s experience or the store’s experience with the type of
parking they need. A second factor is the bank/investor looks closely at the market, access and parking.
The final phase is ensuring the proposal meets the City’s parking standards. If the parking standards are
too tight, it can halt the process at the beginning particularly with infill in existing areas. In Bartell’s case,
they have a well-defined site and parking; they have a strong interest in providing sufficient parking for
their store.
Mr. Chase commented another significant issue is the existing investments and ownership patterns.
Bartells is in the process acquiring the entire corner; they currently only own store. QFC owns their
property and have a strong interest in providing sufficient parking. QFC did a significant interior remodel
approximately five years ago and is a very successful store even with PCC across the street. He did not
fore see any of the main anchors, PCC, QFC or Bartells, moving out any time soon because they very
successful.
Councilmember Petso asked if there was any requirement that the entire first floor of the Type 7 buildings
be commercial versus tuck-under or semi-underground parking. Mr. Chave did not recall any specific
numbers.
Councilmember Petso asked why amenity space was allowed to be in the setback area or six feet
underground or six feet above ground. If the amenity space was in the setback area, she feared it may be
close to the road. If the amenity space is underground or above ground, it may be nearly inaccessible and
potentially invisible to passersby. She asked why that type of the amenity would be desired. Mr. Chave
answered the reason for the six-foot requirement was to bring it down, close to the ground. In areas that
have this type of amenity space such as plazas, there are frequently multiple levels, integrated seating, or
a multi-functional plaza that serves as an outdoor amphitheater. The intent of the six feet was to make it
pedestrian scale but also provide flexibility with regard to how the space was arranged. A requirement for
ground floor would not provide for that type of varied areas.
With regard to the setback, in the McDonald’s example, Mr. Chave explained if there is a 12-foot front
setback there is already a reserved area behind near the slope; adding the amenity space leaves very little
site area. The area cannot be used for parking and a McDonald’s is not going to have parking under the
building which may rule out a use like a McDonald’s. Many sites will be hard pressed to satisfy the
amenity space requirement even if the amenity space is in the front. If a walkway is provided near the
right-of-way, for example the new landscaping/walkway area in front of Walgreens, the walkway is wider
than the usual 4-5 feet. Near Walgreens there is a 5-foot planting area and a 7-foot wide walkway. The
right-of-way was only 10 feet; in order to construct the additional walkway, an easement was obtained
from the property owner to expand the walkway. The sidewalk does not count as amenity space; they still
have to provide the 15%.
Councilmember Petso asked why language was added during this latest update that the buildings may not
stand in isolation (page 193), noting it would seem to contribute to the side-lot to side-lot corridor effect
down SR-104 and along 100th. Mr. Chave recalled that language was added to clarify that buildings need
to be connected to the other buildings, sidewalks and walkways and not standing in isolation. Mr. Taraday
Packet Page 403 of 411
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
September 23, 2014
Page 14
recalled that was added to clarify other language. Councilmember Petso asked why that was desirable, to
have buildings connected along the stretch. Mr. Chave clarified it was not buildings physically connected
wall to wall, the intent was connectivity between the buildings such as walkways, pathways, connected
drives, etc. He suggested clarifying the language if that was not clear.
Council President Buckshnis said having the amenity space stratified is great, referring to downtown Lake
Oswego. She asked whether there was an art aspect to the amenity space. Mr. Chave answered language
could be included that encourages art as part of the amenity space or added to the score sheet.
Council President Buckshnis relayed she understood the concept of not having buildings stand in
isolation. Mr. Chave commented the concept will fail if there is a building in a large parking and no way
to get to from that building to buildings nearby. Council President Buckshnis commented PCC was very
successful, they have a 30 year lease but their building is isolated. Mr. Chave agreed it was somewhat
isolated but they have areas in front. The intent with redevelopment is things like changes in the paving
and trees planted along walkways to identify the location of the walkway. Businesses like PCC may be
willing to partner with the City.
Council President Buckshnis referred to the old fashioned sidewalks along SR-104. She asked whether
the plan includes streetscapes with trees between the roadway and sidewalk to separate pedestrians from
the traffic. Mr. Chave agreed yes, referring to the newer scheme in front of Walgreens and the
multifamily development near Compass that separates pedestrians from the roadway.
Councilmember Johnson commented last week the Council authorized the SR-104 which has a Westgate
emphasis. She asked how the results of the Westgate Transportation Study will be incorporated into the
City’s Comprehensive Plan. Development Services Director Shane Hope explained the SR-104 study will
occur late 2014/early 2015. By that time she assumed the code would be adopted along with the minor
changes to the 2014 Comprehensive Plan. The analysis will then come back for review by the Planning
Board, Transportation Committee and City Council and elements will be incorporated into the
Comprehensive Plan via the Transportation Element or other plans such as the Streetscape Plan. Any
potential code changes could also be adopted at that time. Councilmember Johnson commented it was
important for the public to understand the two will eventually be connected.
Councilmember Johnson commented the purpose and intent of the Westgate code calls for designing a
landscape emphasis at the primary intersection of SR-104 & 100th/9th. Regardless of whether the existing
20-foot setback is retained or the proposed 12-foot setback adopted, she asked how the landscape
emphasis will be achieved at the intersection. Mr. Chave commented the additional stepback which will
result in the buildings being quite low. It may be worthwhile to add language regarding signature plaza
spaces and water features in addition to landscaping. He agreed that was an important concept, visitors
should have a feeling that they have arrived somewhere.
Councilmember Johnson observed SR-104 has a natural environment notable for tall stands of evergreen
trees. She asked how the green factors score sheet could be modified if there was a desire for greater
emphasis on native trees. Mr. Chave responded one of the reasons for the protected slopes was due to the
location of the large evergreens. An option would be to increase the points in the table for native
vegetation. There is a significant bonus for protecting existing trees. Councilmember Johnson observed
the bonus is 1 for bio-retention, .8 for protecting large existing trees and .1 for native. She suggested
increasing the bonus for native trees. Mr. Chave commented on the interaction between the protected
slopes and the emphasis on protecting trees in general; the bonus could be increased for protecting native
species.

Councilmember Bloom observed the proposal was to allow 4 stories on the Bartell property with a 12-
foot setback and an additional 5 feet in height would be allowed for 15,000 square feet. Mr. Chave
agreed. Councilmember Bloom observed the building could not subdivided below 15,000 square feet of
retail space for the life of building. She asked how that would be enforced. Mr. Chave said it would need
to be provided upfront and the City sees all tenant improvements; any tenant improvement that would
divide the space below 15,000 square feet would be denied. Mr. Taraday advised there would likely be
something recorded against the title of any property taking advantage of the 15,000 square foot height
bonus to create a permanent record on the title that so all future permit applications would be reviewed in
light of that restriction.
Councilmember Bloom observed commercial mixed use was allowed on all properties, other uses are
sprinkled throughout and some quadrants only allow a portion of commercial mixed use for example
QFC. There was concern expressed at her Town Hall meeting about a tunnel effect if every property were
developed commercial mixed use and located 12 feet from the road. Mr. Chave said the idea of tunnel
was the vertical space relative to the horizontal space. He referred to downtown where there is a 60-foot
right-of-way, an average of 30 foot building on both sides with no setbacks. At Westgate there is an 80-
foot right-of-way, 12-foot setback and 35 foot buildings with the potential of an additional l0-15 feet of
height. He summarized in terms of scale to the right-of-way, the buildings in Westgate were similar to the
overall proportion of downtown. He did not see that as having a tunnel effect.
Councilmember Bloom asked if there was a reason for allowing commercial mixed use on every property
when QFC and PCC were not likely to redevelop. Mr. Chave commented there was a misconception
about what that means, pointing out QFC, PCC, McDonalds are commercial buildings although they are
different shapes and sizes and if they had residential, they would be commercial mixed use. The idea is
not one size fits all; commercial mixed use buildings will each look different, especially at the
intersection where a stepback is required on a 4-story building. That combined with the design standards
that require differentiating the ground floor from the upper floors, the appearance of separate sections
even in a larger building, etc. that will interact to mitigate the fear of a tunnel look to the development.
Councilmember Bloom commented Mr. Barber, who owns Bartells, was at the Town Hall meeting and
was very concerned about the parking. Recalling a conversation she and Councilmember Petso had with
Mr. Doherty, Ms. Hope and Mr. Chave, she asked whether the plan could start with the Bartells quadrant,
work on that quadrant with Bartells, and do the other quadrants later once the SR-104 transportation study
is completed since they are unlikely to redevelop. Ms. Hope responded anything is possible. Her
understanding was there has been a deliberative process over 3-4 years to look at all 4 quadrants and how
they affect each other. Although each quadrant could be considered separately, there is value in having a
plan that works reasonably for all four quadrants and fine-tune it based on development that occurs in one
of the quadrants.
Councilmember Bloom relayed concerns expressed at the Town Hall meeting included traffic patterns,
crossing SR-104 and 100th, parking, ingress and egress, existing parking difficulties at QFC, and driving
from QFC to PCC. She summarized pedestrian crossing is not convenient and that is something the SR-
104 study will consider. Ms. Hope responded some of the traffic issues have been studied and it may be
that perception is not the same as what is actually proposed. The SR-104 analysis will be done within a
few months and a lot of the concerns will be addressed.
Councilmember Mesaros observed QFC’s existing parking is 1/475 square feet. He inquired about PCC’s
parking ratio. Mr. Chave answered it is approximately 1/350 square feet in the area immediately in front.
Most commercial areas have blended/spill over parking. Councilmember Mesaros inquired about
Goodwill’s parking ratio. Mr. Chave answered it is shared parking.

Councilmember Mesaros said he has heard canyon-effect mentioned and appreciated Mr. Chave’s
comparison of the right-of-way and buildings in Westgate to downtown. He asked whether the proposed
zoning allow would allow 4-story buildings all along the corridor. Mr. Chave identified areas where 4, 3,
and 2 story buildings would be allowed, noting it is not a uniform 4 stories.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas observed heights up to 4 stories would be allowed at the cross of the
quadrants at Edmonds Way and 100th/9th. Mr. Chave identified 2 sides where 4-story buildings would be
allowed and 2 sides where 3-story buildings would be allowed. Councilmember Fraley-Monillas observed
it could potentially feel like canyon or tunnel in the center. Mr. Chave did not think so, particularly with
the stepback at the intersection.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas commented she liked the walkability of University Village, recalling the
series of roads through University Village in the past. She asked the timeframe for making a decision on
this plan. Mr. Chave envisioned Thanksgiving. He feared if a decision was delayed too long, it would take
a backseat to the budget.
Councilmember Peterson agreed it is not comfortable walk on the sidewalk on SR-104 but the concept via
redevelopment in 20-30 years is to create internal walkability and a pedestrian friendly shopping and
living experience. Mr. Chave agreed, noting the raised sidewalks in U-Village clearly identify the
pedestrian areas.
To Councilmember Bloom suggestion to do one quadrant at a time, Councilmember Peterson asked
whether that would be a radical change to the Planning Board’s recommendation and require restarting
the public process and holding another public hearing. Mr. Taraday answered worst case scenario another
public hearing would need to be held to ensure the GMA requirement for public participation was met. As
a practical matter, because the other properties are unlikely to redevelop it may not matter whether a plan
for the entire area is adopted and tweaked later or only a plan for the quadrant that is likely to develop
sooner. Mr. Chave explained it was within the Council discretion to do a phased approach; however, it is
unknown what the property owners outside the SR-104 & 100th/9th intersection are considering. The City
is limited in what it can do to improve the flow and access until some redevelopment occurs.
Council President Buckshnis asked whether there were grant funds available for overpasses between the
quadrants. She referred to overpasses in Charlotte. Ms. Hope answered there are no grants available in
Washington for that at this time. She agreed connectivity between the quadrants was an important
element. Mr. Taraday suggested an overpass could be added to the amenity score sheet for a height bonus;
it was more likely to occur that way rather than via grant funding. Council President Buckshnis asked if
there was a percentage of residential in the plan. Ms. Hope answered for example residential cannot be on
the first floor. Some property owners may prefer office space to commercial.
Council President Buckshnis asked how Councilmembers should inform staff of additional incentives.
Ms. Hope suggested sending information to staff to allow further research. Council President Buckshnis
suggested adding art.
Councilmember Johnson observed properties in the Westgate area have varied height limits depending on
the location and topography. She asked the Planning Board’s rationale for four stories in the QFC
quadrant where there is flat topography. Mr. Chave displayed the height map, explaining there are no
slopes in the QFC area but the cemetery separates the site from the surrounding area. Four stories were
not allowed in the northeast due to its small size.
Councilmember Johnson referred to the intersection analysis done by Jennifer Barnes in June 2013 for the
SR-104/100th intersection. She asked Mr. Chave to contrast that analysis with the new transportation
Packet Page 406 of 411
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
September 23, 2014
Page 17
study of Westgate with regard to the forecast years, land use assumptions and the scope of work. Mr.
Chave answered Ms. Barnes supplemented the analysis in the Transportation Plan where the planning
horizon is 2025, analyzing overall volumes, turning movements, levels of service, signalization, etc. The
2015 update will expand the horizon to 2035. The UW’s analysis assumed 4-5 stories; the impact of the
current 2-4 story plan will be substantially less.
Councilmember Johnson observed Ms. Barnes’ analysis was of the intersection; the transportation study
will consider other components. Mr. Chave agreed, especially the SR-104 study.
Councilmember Bloom referred page 7c regarding building not standing in isolation, specifically the last
sentence that states, will achieve these connectivity and space-shaping goals more effectively by allowing
such an exception in light of the established building and circulation pattern, provided that vehicle
parking shall not be located between the building and the public street in any instance. She asked whether
the eventual goal was no parking in front of QFC or PCC and for buildings to be located up to the street.
Mr. Chave answered the intent is to form the spaces for parking and pedestrian circulation in the area
internal to the quadrant by the placement of the buildings. The old strip mall model is parking lot in front
with buildings set back with a sign identifying the tenants. When buildings are closer to the sidewalk,
they provide a presence at the street front.
Councilmember Bloom observed the goal of the plan was for all buildings to be close to the street. Mr.
Chave answered all the buildings would not be at the street because the property configuration of some
would not allow the buildings to be placed at the street. The general principle is to have the buildings at
the street. If the buildings are not at the street, there will be limited ability to create interconnected spaces,
aisles and driveways behind the buildings.
Councilmember Bloom asked whether there was any accommodation made for bike trails. Mr. Chave
answered they are not precluded, they could be provided as part of the connections but would be limited
by space. The emphasis is along 9th because it is a challenge to provide a bike trail to the east. The north
and east connectors in the City’s existing bike plans are further north. The language regarding internal
circulation could be expanded to emphasize bikes.
Councilmember Bloom referred to language in the plan regarding units less than 900 square feet, a
percentage allowed to be over 1600 square and encouraging affordable housing. She emphasize that was
not affordable housing; affordable housing was when a person paid no more than 1/3 of their income for
housing. As it appeared there was interest in providing affordable housing at Westgate, she asked why
actual affordable housing was not included in the plan. Mr. Chave explained the City did not have an
affordable housing program; there was no zoning regulation to require affordable housing in a
development. He and Ms. Hope have discussed developing that type of program but it would take a
couple years including working with the Housing Authority and the new Affordable Housing Alliance
(AHA) of Snohomish County. If such a program were developed, it could be added to the Westgate plan;
another potential location is nodes on Hwy 99 that are close to transit.
COUNCILMEMBER BLOOM MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT BUCKSHNIS,
TO EXTEND THE MEETING TO 10:15 P.M. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Councilmember Johnson referred to the proposal to maintain 15,000 square feet for the life of a building
and observed that would preclude the old Albertsons from being dividing to provide space for a pet store
as well as prohibit the former Safeway from being developed as Salish Crossing. She questioned whether
that was a good idea. Mr. Chave answered the developer would have to be seeking the fourth story for
that requirement to be imposed. Second, it would only require 15,000 square feet; for example if the old
Albertsons had 20,000 square feet, they could designate 15,000 for PCC and the remainder for other
stores. Mayor Earling suggested for future study session discussions, staff be seated at the table.

Councilmember Petso advised she would email staff with a number of requests for future presentations.
She suggested deleting the provision that allow using a portion of the sidewalk in the public right-of-way
for outdoor seating, temporary displays, etc. Although currently allowed downtown, it would not make
sense on SR-104. Council President Buckshnis commented it may not be appropriate on SR-104 but it
could be appropriate in other areas in Westgate.
Councilmember Petso suggested a requirement that the first floor be devoted to retail and not parking. As
examples she referred to the Compass Apartments where parking is provided in back under the units and
a building in Shoreline near Costco where there most of the ground floor is parking. She feared turning a
vibrant business district into parking holding up residential. Council President Buckshnis referred to the
parking configuration allowed downtown. Councilmember Petso answered there is already a walkable
pedestrian area downtown. She relayed comments about why the City wants to create a second walkable
pedestrian area. She wanted to ensure Westgate retained legitimate commercial uses on the first floor.
Councilmember Johnson inquired about parking on 9th in front of the cemetery, assuming it was employee
parking. She asked whether consideration had been given to offsite parking for employees to better
accommodate customer parking. Councilmember Fraley-Monillas commented it is also commuter parking
for people taking the bus because there are no time limits on the parking in that area.
Council President Buckshnis clarified smaller units can be affordable housing. She envisioned a walkable
neighborhood with residential away from SR-104. Councilmember Bloom pointed out affordable housing
has a specific definition, there is no guarantee a 900 square foot unit is affordable. She agreed with
Council President Buckshnis’ suggestion to have residential setback from SR-104 but that was not what
this plan proposed. The plan allows commercial mixed use everywhere and only one of the residential
uses, rowhouses, was strictly residential; everything else is mixed use including the live-work. She
preferred to designate where residential is allowed and that it be setback and private. This plan allows
buildings up to 4 stories of mixed use at the Bartell and QFC mixed use with 3 stories of residential and 1
floor of commercial and parking to accommodate the uses. Council President Buckshnis did not support
designating where specific building types could be located.
Councilmember Peterson referred to the presentation by Mark Smith, AHA, who pointed out there are a
number of striations to affordable housing including what the private sector provides and what the City
could provide via an affordable housing program. Mr. Smith indicated Edmonds is woefully inadequate in
both regards; the affordable housing the private sector provides is typically smaller units. Encouraging
smaller units in Westgate and throughout the City is an excellent way for the private sector to provide
affordable housing. If housing was restricted to specific areas such as rowhouses that are private, it
automatically increases the footprint and the price and would eliminate the sector of affordable housing
that can be provided by the private sector. The more the location of housing is restricted, the worse the
opportunity for providing any type of affordable housing. This type of development is needed throughout
the City; there are opportunities in Westgate, downtown, Hwy 99 and Five Corners.
Councilmember Petso agreed small units are not affordable housing and recalled Mr. Smith saying that.
There may be less construction costs but the smaller size does not make them affordable housing
particularly for families who cannot live in a small unit. She relayed the public wants to identify the
places at Westgate where they are willing to accept taller building and residential units and not interfere
with other areas at Westgate; that is not what this plan does.
11. REPORT ON OUTSIDE BOARD AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS
Due to the late hour, this item was postponed to a future meeting.

He provided the following comparison:
Benefit Standard Cigna
Life and AD&D $0.195 and $0.045 $0.18 and $0.022 Cigna matching rate of $0.29
per unit for dependents
MEBT Life $13.50 ($75k benefit) $13.94 (100k benefit) Cigna matching rate of $0.54
for disabled lives
Long Term Disability $0.595 $0.49
Total Cost
Differential
-11.9% ($15,713)
Councilmember Petso relayed her understanding that the Cigna plan provides greater benefits, less cost
and a three year rate guarantee; there are no hidden fees or fine print. Mr. Robertson agreed it seemed too
good to be true. Typically when a firm has a monopoly and no competition, their fees are higher. The
person who designed and programmed the policy that most municipalities in Washington participate in at
Standard, left Standard and went to Cigna.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT BUCKSHNIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER
PETERSON, TO FORWARD THE ITEM TO THE CONSENT AGENDA FOR APPROVAL.
MOTION CARRIED (4-0). (Councilmember Johnson was not present for the vote.)
5. PROCLAMATION FOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH ~ YWCA WEEK
WITHOUT VIOLENCE
Mayor Earling read a proclamation declaring October 2014 as Domestic Violence Awareness Month and
the third week of October as YWCA Week Without Violence.
Mary Ann Dillon, Senior Regional Director, YWCA Snohomish County, on behalf of the YWCA,
thanked the City Council and Mayor Earling for raising awareness about domestic violence via the
proclamation. She noted there were several members of the YWCA in the audience as well as Dr.
Suzanne Poppema, President, Zonta Club of Everett. Zonta is a women’s organization that works on
many women’s issues including eliminating human trafficking locally, nationally and internationally.
Ms. Dillon explained recent incidents involving NFL players and domestic violence has put the spotlight
on the problem and has men and women participating in important dialogue about domestic violence.
There are great opportunities to keep the conversation going and make systemic changes. She commented
a week without violence would be 7 days, 168 hours, 10,080 minutes free of domestic violence, sexual
assault, early childhood enforced marriages, etc. She thanked the Council and Mayor for their
commitment to ending violence and the making community safer for all.
12. DISCUSSION REGARDING STUDY SESSION FORMAT
Council President Buckshnis recalled in a test of the study session format a couple weeks ago the Council
used a round robin, three question format. She asked for Councilmembers’ input regarding how study
sessions should be run, the configuration, whether to have a time limit on questions, a round robin with a
limit on the number of questions, etc., noting the microphones needed to be improved.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas suggested Councilmembers take turns asking questions to ensure
everyone is able to participate. She noted typically the first person asks multiple questions. She preferred
Councilmembers ask one question at a time unless there was a follow-up or clarification question.
Councilmember Petso disagreed with Councilmember Fraley-Monillas. Her understanding of a study
session format was to promote interactive discussions in a less structured atmosphere. At the study
Packet Page 409 of 411
session regarding Westgate, the meeting included questions in a much more structured format than when
Councilmembers are seated at the dais and there no discussion. She envisioned a less formal study session
would provide opportunity for more dialogue and discussion.
Council President Buckshnis commented there was discussion at the end of the study session regarding
Westgate. The length of the agenda that evening also limited the amount of discussion regarding
Westgate. She favored the round robin format because it allowed each person to speak.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas commented she liked the more informal setting with Councilmembers
seated at the table; her preference was to allow all Councilmembers to ask questions and participate in the
process versus one Councilmember with a lot of questions monopolizing the subject matter.
Councilmember Peterson said he also likes the informal nature of sitting at a table but he has heard from
citizens who watch the Council meetings that they are not able to engage due to the poor sound quality
and the camera angles. The Council needs to balance what makes them comfortable with the public’s
ability to engage in the discussion. The technology is not currently set up to accommodate the format with
Councilmembers seated at the table. He suggested gathering feedback from people who watch the
Council meetings.
Councilmember Johnson said it was beneficial to have rules for study sessions; the Council can make
them up as they go or rely on Roberts Rules of Order although Roberts Rules may be too restrictive. She
suggested either establishing a time limit or a number of questions. She suggested playing with the table
layout, recalling the original configuration did not have Councilmembers in a line and allowed them to
see each other. Councilmember Fraley-Monillas commented the problem with the current configuration is
some Councilmembers have their backs to the audience.
Councilmember Johnson said she can see the screen better from the table; it is nearly impossible to see
the screen when seated at the dais. She noted it would be helpful to provide Councilmembers with
presentation materials. Councilmember Petso noted she could see the screen better from the dais than
from the table.
Council President Buckshnis summarized for future study sessions:
• Work on a different table configuration
• Round robin with 1-2 questions each
Council President Buckshnis asked whether Councilmembers wanted discussion after each question.
Councilmember Petso commented it depends on the issue. For Westgate, it may have been more
productive to allow discussion after each question was raised. For items on tonight’s agenda that
previously would have been handled by committee, few questions arose. She summarized less formality
would be preferable.
Councilmember Johnson asked whether Councilmembers wanted to start meetings at 6:00 or 7:00 p.m.
She preferred all the meetings start at 7:00 p.m.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas said either 6:00 or 7:00 p.m. was acceptable. With regard to the number
of questions, she said to drive democracy the number of questions cannot be limited. She suggested a
Councilmember who had a number of questions could continue to ask questions after other
Councilmember’s questions had been answered.
Council President Buckshnis commented she was surprised by the 6:30 p.m. start time tonight. She
preferred to start meeting at 7:00 p.m. because that was what citizens are used to. Unless there were
Packet Page 410 of 411
objections, she will continue with a 7:00 p.m. start time and, when necessary, hold executive sessions
prior to Council meetings.
Mayor Earling commented staff’s understanding was study sessions would start at 6:00 p.m., if there was
an executive session, the meeting would start at 6:00 p.m., followed by the executive session and convene
the study session at the conclusion of the executive session. There may be an advantage to starting the
study session earlier; for example, tonight’s agenda was a 4-hour meeting.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas suggested all Council meetings could start at 6:00 or 6:30 p.m. to avoid
confusion.
Mayor Earling summarized Council President Buckshnis will take the Council’s comments and present a
recommendation at the next study session.
13. PRESENTATION REGARDING FIRE DISTRICT 1
Mayor Earling explained the invoice was provided at an initial meeting with Fire District 1 (FD1) on
August 21. Several subsequent meetings have been held including a meeting with Brier’s Mayor,
Mountlake Terrace’s City Manager and himself where it was agreed the three cities’ Finance Directors
would meet to discuss concerns with the billing. Following that meeting the Finance Directors met with
FD1’s Finance Director. During these meetings, further information has been requested from FD1. He
met with Chief Widdis and Commissioner Chan last Friday where it was agreed the timing and the way
the information regarding the increase was presented was handled poorly by FD1. It was also agreed to
have further discussion on issues of concern to Edmonds and likely all three cities.
Following tonight’s presentation and discussion, there will be a follow-up meeting this week with the
three cities’ Finance Directors, Brier’s Mayor, Mountlake Terrace’s City Manager and him. He will be
seeking a meeting with the three cities and FD1 late this week or early next week. He summarized there
has been a good dialogue to this point.
Fire District 1 Chief Ed Widdis commented he provided this same presentation to Mountlake Terrace,
illustrating the benefits of contracting with FD1. The primary reasons Edmonds contracted with FD1
were:
• More efficiencies
o A 12-station fire department
o A larger group of employees to pool from
o More specialized equipment
o More resources for the community
o Re-classed the City fire service from a Class 4 to Class 3
• Save Money (He displayed the following spreadsheets):
o City Revenue – Edmonds Fire (2010-2016)
o Edmonds Fire Budget (2010-2016)
o Contract Cost
Edmonds Fire Revenue Loss (Woodway and Esperance Contracts)
Costs Transferred to District
o Estimated 5-year outlook (2010-2014)
Estimated savings via contracting : $5.8 million
Actual 5 year savings: $6 million
