4. DISCUSSION WITH THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION (EDC)
Economic Development & Community Services Director Patrick Doherty explained when the EDC was
revived by ordinance and codified in 10.75.010, it included a clause sunseting it at the end of 2015. The
Council 2015 retreat included discussion regarding the future of the EDC which led to tonight’s
discussion regarding the EDC’s achievements, role and purpose to date and its future.
Mike Schindler, Chair, EDC, thanked Mr. Doherty for his work on the website. Six years ago the Council
had the wisdom to set up a 17 member diverse of citizens to advise and recommend new strategies for
economic development as well as to identify new potential sources of revenue resulting from economic
development projects. At the time the City was facing economic shortfalls and in 2009 the Council passed
Ordinance 3735 amending the City code and enlisted 17 volunteer citizens with diverse knowledge,
experience, political viewpoints and networks to help the City reverse a declining stream of revenue. The
relationship between the electeds and the appointed has not always been smooth but today is a new day. A
focus on economic development and sustainability is always vital to a community regardless of shortfalls
or surpluses.
Chair Schindler explained tonight is a defining moment; the Council has several options to weigh and a
decision to make. The Commission understands some would like to see the EDC dispersed, some would
like to see the EDC continue and some would like it to break into smaller groups. The decision before the
Council is whether to 1) extend the sunset clause and allow the EDC in its present form to continue its
charge to help identify new sources of revenue and advise of ways to improve quality of life issues, 2)
divide the EDC into smaller commissions each with a specific focus but limited visibility on how its small
commission work fits into the overall economic development and workings of the City or 3) release the
volunteers and sunset the EDC in a time when many are soliciting more input from its citizens.
The members of the EDC believes it should continue as it is, a 17 member commission with diverse
backgrounds and ideas who are willing to aid the City with exploring ideas and strategies that will
enhance business, tourism and long range financial impacts for the City. He summarized the goal of the
EDC’s presentation tonight was to impart the EDC’s history, value and accomplishments, answer
questions and land on an agreed way forward in the next 30 days to continue or disband at year end.
Mr. Schindler reported on the following:
• What is economic development?
o According to the International Economic Development Council, economic development is
intended to achieve the following general objective: Improving the economic wellbeing of a
community through efforts that entail job creation, job retention, tax base enhancements and
quality of life.
o Economic development in Edmonds can be defined as “the city’s goals, policies and
strategies for growing the local economy in order to enhance the quality of life.”
• Leadership Unites in 2009
o Resolution 1198 was the foundation for the CEDC, originating from the Citizens Levy
Review Committee (group of 65) who recommended the formation of the CEDC
o June 2009 Edmonds City Council passed Ordinance 3735 which chartered the Citizens
Economic Development Commission
o The goal: to get outside citizenry input on how to improve revenue to the city.
o Advantages: Leverage knowledge base of Edmonds residents.
• EDC role

the public
o Each Commissioner is assigned a subgroup – they present to body each month on progress
made toward developing recommendations/tasks/goals
• What does our future look like?
o QUALITY OF LIFE IS CONTINUALLY AT RISK
o Communities are realizing that there is no such thing as a “static” or fixed economy, local
economies are always changing.
o Communities are impacted not only by local issues but by national and state economic cycles,
competition from surrounding cities for desirable businesses, local and regional land use
changes, residential and commercial real estate trends.
o Sustainable Economy IS ALWAYS IMPORTANT
o Successful communities acknowledge their past and allow for a vision for the future to guide
them through changes needed to prosper.
o Edmonds Economic Development Commission is focused on components of the vision with
input from all stakeholders
• EDC Commissioners provide value
o Elected Chair Mike Schindler and Vice Chair John Rubenkonig provide overall leadership of
the 17 volunteer commissioners.
o Three active subgroups in 2015: Strategic Planning, Business District Enhancement, Tourism
and Visitor Services (these aren’t codified subgroups – we can flex based on need or issue)
o Serve as ambassadors between citizens and elected officials
o Work closely with city staff, Planning Board, Port of Edmonds to vet ideas and dive deep into
topics to assist council with recommendations

Mayor Earling thanked the EDC for their work, noting many admire the work the EDC has done over the
past several works.
Members of the CEDC present introduce themselves: Chair Mike Schindler, Vice Chair John
Rubenkonig, and Commissioners John Dewhirst, Nicole Hughes, Darlene Stern, Darrol Haug, and Bruce
Witenberg.
Councilmember Buckshnis said the EDC has done a great job and she saw no reason for it to sunset. She
supported activating the Tourism Subgroup again, noting they could have assisted Mr. Doherty with the
125th anniversary celebration. She was also interested in a downtown boutique hotel, relaying her
understanding that the Harbor Inn is very busy. Vice Chair Rubenkonig, speaking for himself, said there
is value in a term limit for the EDC to allow the Council to revisit the role of CEDC. He also favored
more regular communication with Councilmembers and the Council as a whole.
Councilmember Mesaros echoed Councilmember Buckshnis’ comments, that the EDC is doing a good
job. There is value in a group of citizens discussing these issues, looking at opportunities and bringing
things forward to be pursued by others. He would vote to have the EDC continue. He also echoed
Councilmember Buckshnis’ comments about the need for another hotel close to the downtown core,
relaying he has family members in town this weekend for his mother-in-law’s memorial service and the
Harbor Inn is already sold out. Another hotel would be a nice feature in the downtown core.
Councilmember Nelson thanked commissioners for their service on the EDC. He anticipated there had
been some growth and changes in the six years the EDC has existed. He asked what other structural
changes the EDC would like the Council’s guidance on. Commissioner Dewhirst answered one of the
reasons the Tourism Subgroup took a hiatus was they have accomplished a lot, but a lot of the work was
studying issues that did not go anywhere, such broadcasting weddings for people unable to attend the
event. That still has great potential but no one wants to it take on. He also contacted several service
groups seeking ideas/topics that could be pursued. The items that remain are big things. The subgroup has
had an energy crisis/burnout and before tackling any of the big items, felt the issue of the sunset needed to
be addressed so that the members did not waste their time if the EDC was sunseted at the end of the year.
The most pressing items the subgroup has identified are related to infrastructure that supports tourism and
visitors. Without power and/or money, the subgroup has been trying to get people excited about a topic,

illustrate the benefits to the community and get someone to champion it. He compared it to a marriage
counselor who introduces topics, tries to get people together and then bows out and lets other people take
over.
Commissioner Hughes echoed Commissioner Dewhirst’s comments with regard to productivity and
output. Most commissioners enjoy the impact the EDC has on community and the potential to make a
difference in the viability and sustainability of the community. Two work lanes that need better
collaboration with the Council are, 1) things in the Strategic Action Plan (SAP) and 2) everything else –
new ideas, think tank ideas that may need resources to move forward. She suggested establishing a
stronger line of communication or process for pursuing new ideas.
Commissioner Witenberg said he is one of three commissioners who have been on the EDC since its
inception in 2009 and is very proud of its accomplishments. The Tourism Subgroup has done a
tremendous amount of work including a report on downtown restrooms; it is his understanding the
Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (LTAC) has appropriated some money for next year but other partners
need to be identified such as the Business Improvement District who has expressed interest. The Tourism
Subgroup did an extensive evaluation of a year-round farmers market; that is being pursued this year as a
holiday market in November and December. The Business Subgroup has discussed various business
incentives, some of which are not applicable in Edmonds but some may be useful in the study of Highway
99 and they would like to be involved in that process. Communication with Council is important and he
suggested the role of the liaison be more clearly defined and he/she be encouraged to participate in
conversations. Further, perhaps the Council as a whole could give direction to avoid the EDC hearing
only what 1-2 Councilmembers would like to see happen. He suggested quarterly meetings with
leadership of the EDC and Council and/or the liaison and the Economic Development Director.
Commissioner Haug referred to the goal at the outset; a group of 65 people discussing how to make the
City’s budget work. Due to budget shortfalls, economic activities were suggested as a way to increase
revenue. The EDC’s first report to Council in February 2009 showed the City’s expenses would exceed
revenues in 2013 by $400,000. Fortunately that did not occur but is anticipated to occur in 2015. During
that time, the SAP was developed. The EDC is a participant in 13 elements in the SAP and have not
finished that work. The City Council is the lead on major 3 items and a participant on 27 others items.
Because the Council does not have staff, it may be helpful for the EDC to look at those items and help the
Council understand citizen input.
Councilmember Petso, liaison to the EDC, said she would be happy to participate more at meetings and
she only needed permission to speak. She appreciated the definition of economic development as there are
a variety of definitions. Another definition is providing the infrastructure for economic activity to occur.
She hoped there would be discussion among the EDC about the definition and how it tracks with what is
being done. She viewed the Hazel Miller Plaza as economic development; the City provided public
infrastructure that increased business activity in that area and had a nice quality-of-life spinoff as well.
She suggested that kind of economic development was probably something the community could get
behind if everyone agreed that counted as economic development. The definition provided tonight began
with job creation followed by job retention, tax base enhancement, and quality of life. She was uncertain
whether tax base enhancement meant property tax or sales tax increases.
Councilmember Petso said she was responsible for the suggestion about possibly splitting into three
groups, financial planning, tourism, and business growth. The advantages she saw in splitting up the
group were increased focus on tasks as well as improved transparency. One of the things the Council
finds valuable is the ability to read about board/commissions’ discussions. If all the discussions occur in
subgroups, there is no ability to read about the subgroup’s discussion. She anticipated separating the
groups would highlight members’ focus and allow for more robust discussion.

Council President Fraley-Monillas said she was not expecting a Council decision tonight. She urged the
Council to think about the EDC long term and consider all the issues. When she met with Chair Schindler
and Vice Chair Rubenkonig to discuss the EDC, it was clear there was a lack of communication between
the Council and the EDC. Tonight’s meeting was intended to open up communication. She expressed
concern with the number of staff assigned to EDC; the City has numerous boards and commissions, all
with varying staffing levels. The City hired consultants to assist with newest board/commissions. Long
term the Council needs to consider where resources are placed; she was uncertain assignment of three
FTE to the EDC was beneficial to all boards/commissions as a whole. She also referred to burnout or
project overload on the EDC and hoped that could be resolved. As the development of the SAP included a
survey of Edmonds citizens, she felt the items in the SAP should be the EDC’s focus.
Councilmember Johnson said she first met Bruce Witenberg at the group of 65 looking into a levy lid lift,
which she, Mr. Haug and Councilmember Buckshnis were on and it was from that effort that the EDC
was born. Initially Councilmember Buckshnis was the Council liaison and she was the liaison from the
Planning Board and much good work was done. One of highlights of the EDC’s initial efforts was
development of the SAP. She asked what role the EDC wanted to play in the SAP, whether it was just
monitoring the City Council and EDC items or another role.
Commissioner Stern referred to Councilmember Petso’s comments regarding breaking the EDC into
smaller groups, pointing out business studies show that 50% of the value of the work is lost when a team
is broken up, the advantage of familiarity is lost and the learning curve for each group is increased.
Members new to one another do not understand when and how to communicate with each other. Breaking
up a group reduces the value of what can be realized as a whole. Research also shows many teams
struggle to tap the knowledge that each individual brings to the task because members don’t know who
has what information and unearthing the knowledge can take time and effort. Innovative solutions
typically come from new combinations of existing knowledge; this occurs when team members impart
specific knowledge but also integrate isolated pieces of information with other members of the team. She
found this true when she chaired the 4th of July Committee for the Chamber; she needed all aspects to
participate to integrate seamlessly for continuity and performance. That is lost if the team is separated.
Studies show it is more productive to keep a team together and that it results in a better outcome.
With regard to Council President Fraley-Monillas’ comment about the number of people who participated
in the development of the SAP, Commissioner Haug said 2,511 people participated, representing many
different interest groups and geographies in Edmonds including high school students who were separately
surveyed. The sample size for the polling was double what is necessary for +/- 5% accuracy. With regard
to Councilmember Johnson’s question, Commissioner Haug recalled at their retreat, the Council
established several subcommittees regarding topics the Council felt were important and some of the topics
dovetail with the SAP. The EDC could assist the Council with those topics, several of which are in the
SAP including developing ideas/choices for Council. He pointed out the SAP is divided into five basic
strategies; within each are approximately 80 elements. Each of the strategies and subcomponents form a
perfect foundation for public discussion. One of the Council’s interests expressed at the retreat was more
two-way discussion with the public. There is an ideal opportunity to craft community involvement around
those five strategies. The EDC could develop process to accomplish that, information that could covered
in the conversations with the public, etc. in order to engage the full public in the SAP update.
Councilmember Mesaros referred to Chair Schindler’s comment that this is a prime opportunity to begin
thinking about Five Corners such as was done for Westgate. He asked whether consideration had been
given to Perrinville or Firdale Village, relaying by chance he was in a meeting with the ownership of
Firdale Village and they commented on possible opportunities there. It may be a prime time to have those
discussions with the ownership. Chair Schindler said several commissioners have raised the issue of
Packet Page 9 of 259
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
September 8, 2015
Page 7
Perrinville and Firdale. The Business Enhancement Subgroup has identified the different business
districts and attributes of each; that information will be available on the City’s website. However, without
extending the EDC, many members are not willing to pursue long term strategies like Five Corners or
Firdale Village. Leveraging the commission’s efforts requires quarterly or more frequent communication
between the EDC and the City Council. As Commissioner Dewhirst mentioned, there are a lot of great
tourism-related ideas but someone needs to own them. The EDC can function as think tank but there
needs to be a flow of communication to determine what is important to the Council and the City as a
whole and to avoid pet projects.
Councilmember Buckshnis thanked Commissioner Stern for her about comments about teamwork and
synergy, reiterating she did not support breaking up the EDC. She recalled in the early days,
Councilmembers came to an EDC meeting. She suggested an EDC meeting be noticed as a Council
meeting so Councilmembers could attend. She also recalled the EDC used to have a communication
subgroup that provided quarterly updates to the Council. The early days of the EDC were quite exciting
such as the UW study of Westgate and development of the SAP.
Mayor Earling suggested the leadership of the EDC meet with Council President Fraley-Monillas, himself
and possibly another Councilmember to follow-up on this discussion. Based on the theme of
communication, he suggested beginning at the leadership level to discuss next steps. He also suggested
scheduling another quarterly meeting in January. Council President Fraley-Monillas pointed out at some
point the Council needs to determine whether to sunset the EDC and if it is not sunseted, what the
Council sees as the EDC’s role.
Councilmember Petso recalled a subcommittee was formed at the Council treat to discuss that. She asked
whether that committee had met and would provide a report to Council. Mr. Doherty said it became a
bigger issue and did not take the same shape/form as the other subcommittees which lead to Council
President Fraley-Monillas’ meeting with the EDC leadership. There are several opportunities at a future
study session to determine the direction the Council wants to take.
Council President Fraley-Monillas suggested the Council as a whole have a discussion regarding the pros
and cons of the EDC. She feared Councilmembers “getting into their corners” and not having a good,
thoughtful discussion.
Councilmember Petso offered to research who was on that subcommittee. Council President Fraley-
Monillas said Council Assistant Jana Spellman has that information.
Councilmember Johnson expressed appreciation for the EDC meetings she has attended; each member
has made a valuable contribution. She pledged to meet with her two appointees to get more insight into
the individual membership and suggested other Councilmembers do the same.
Mayor Earling commented this group has done yeoman work for the community and that needs to be
acknowledged. The best way to acknowledge it is to let the EDC continue and decide when to do another
review. He commented the Saturday Market was very busy this past weekend, acknowledging it was
partially the economy, and partially the market itself but more importantly it was the work of a lot people
such as following through on major projects to attract people to Edmonds, new businesses that have been
attracted. There is an energy and vitality downtown that did not exist five years ago, due in large part to
many people standing up and trying to move the ball forward and bring success. That is an element of
tourism as many of the people visiting downtown do not live in Edmonds and come for the Edmonds
experience. The EDC has brought forward many of the ideas, if not specific ideas that have manifested
themselves, but the collective energy that the community feels. He reiterated his commitment, as
presumptuous as it might be, to schedule a quarterly meeting in January.

5. AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Scott Blomenkamp, Edmonds, said following last week’s City Council meeting, he emailed
Councilmembers the MRSC Mayor and Council handbook. He pointed out contrary to Council President
Fraley-Monillas’ comment last week about the City Attorney’s ruling, the City Attorney does not make
rulings, he provides opinion and counsel. He also pointed out this is a meeting for the Council, not the
Mayor; the Mayor does not make motions and he does not adjourn the Council meeting. A motion from
the Council is required to adjourn the meeting. He questioned why the City was paying $41,000/month to
a law firm that provides a substitute that cannot answer direct questions about the City’s code after being
the City’s counsel for four years when it takes about 30 seconds and 8 mouse clicks to find the code and
read it.
Jess Grant, Edmonds, relayed the story of Lac-Mégantic. On July 6, 2013, engineer Thomas Harding
parked his freight train unattended on the main line near the small town of Nantes Quebec. He left the
first of five locomotives running to feed the air breaks and caught a taxi into town for the night. Minutes
later, the running locomotive caught fire and firefighters were called. They turned off the locomotive, put
out the diesel fire and returned to the station. At 12:56 a.m. the air brakes gave out and the train, and 72
cars of crude Bakken oil began to roll downhill towards to Lac-Mégantic, seven miles away. The train
gathered momentum and entered the small town at more than 60 mph. At 1:14 a.m. the train derailed
where the tracks crossed Main Street. People at a local bar saw the tank cars jump the tracks and fled the
scene as a blanket of oil generated a huge ball of fire. Tank cars ruptured and exploded as more than two
million gallons of crude oil escaped along the train’s trajectory downhill toward the lake and through Lac-
Mégantic’s historic downtown district. Heat from fire was felt over a mile away. Blazing oil flowed over
the ground and entered the town’s sewer system, emerging later as geysers of fire that spouted from
manholes and sewer grates. Not everyone escaped what survivors describe as a tsunami of fire.
Firefighters described the scene as a war zone; the fire was contained by late that afternoon. The local
hospital anticipated a large number of casualties but received no seriously injured patients as there were
no wounded, they were all dead. A total of 42 bodies were recovered and identified, 5 people remain
missing and are presumed dead; 2,000 citizens were evaluated, 30 buildings were destroyed and 115
business displaced, the municipal water system was shut down and even today downtown continues to
undergo decontamination. He asked what the Council was doing to ensure that Edmonds did not become
the next Lac-Mégantic.
Laura Johnson, Edmonds, explained her job as parent was to raise her children by providing a loving
and nurturing home, to ensure they were educated and have the tools to be productive members of society
and to do her best to protect them and keep them safe and healthy, a description she also applied to school
districts. Lately more of her energy has gone into protecting, she has been fighting to protect the health of
her children, the environment and the community from unnecessary and easily avoidable toxins and
carcinogens found in crumb rubber infill. Sometimes doing our job and serving those we are responsible
for requires doing things we’re not comfortable with, making hard choices, including keeping children
from a sport they love to protect their health, confronting a fear of public speaking and standing up to
school districts, point out wrongs and insist that corrections be made or take measures that risk
relationships in order to provide protection.
Ms. Johnson relayed that has learned most Councilmembers prefer an alternative, non-toxic infill on the
new fields; however, like her, they have been unable to influence the school to make a change. The
Council is charged with serving and protecting the citizens of Edmonds and unlike her, have other
resources at their disposal to protect citizens and the environment. She urged the Council to use them.
Some Councilmembers have stated the Council needs to sign the ILA in order to ensure protection in the
Packet Page 11 of 259
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
September 8, 2015
Page 9
future. A ban on crumb rubber would provide protection. Close to 1000 petition signers have asked for
that protection. Signing the ILA means the City has partnered on something many citizens oppose due to
fears that it is a health hazard and known environmental pollutant. By signing the ILA, the Council is
subjecting the City to future liability but not protecting the community. One Councilmember said let the
state take care of it, sign the ILA and move on. She questioned why there was a City Council if citizens
could not count on them to protect the community. She questioned whether the Council had done
everything to protect citizens from the breathable dust that will be produced which contains 11 known or
probable carcinogens and 20 toxins and irritants. The City had a chance to be proactive and prevent
environmental contamination; more could have been done to prevent unnecessary toxic exposure to
developing children and to provide protection by insisting on safe and healthy playfields in Edmonds.
Most schools and municipalities are now doing just that; in most communities this is not a controversial
issue, they are simply making a prudent decision to choose safer alternatives for their fields. Instead, for
the Edmonds School District and Edmonds, it has turned into a political game. She urged the political
game be put aside and do the right thing because the community deserves much better.
Darrol Haug, Edmonds, explained trees provide shade and oxygen but they also block views, fall down
on streets and can injure people. He recalled his involvement with a homeowners association where 200
dying trees on Main Street were taken down after 16 fell. The area was re-landscaped and won an award
from Edmonds in Bloom. During the past year he reported to the City that ten additional trees lying over
the street on utility lines should be addressed. Of the ten trees he identified, two have fallen prior to the
most recent windstorm. The remaining eight are leaning further toward the street. It is nearly impossible
to determine from the City’s website how to deal with dangerous trees due to the “save the tree mentality”
and “don’t take it down unless it’s going to kill somebody” but there is no good process in the code for
removing trees. He visited the Tree Board and asked to talk about safety and trees; they were not
interested, stating that was not their job. He suggested as the Council looks at the role of boards and
commissions, some of the roles be expanded, such as the Tree Board to look at all the elements of trees
not just the nice things like shade and oxygen but also the dangerous aspects. He relayed seeing two
trucks hit trees hanging over the street, one at 7th & Main and the other at 5th & Main.
6. STUDY ITEMS
A. AMENDING ECC 8.48, ADDING COLUMBUS DAY AS A HOLIDAY FOR PARKING
ENFORCEMENT
Police Chief Al Compaan explained this is an amendment to ECC 8.48 to add Columbus Day as holiday
for parking enforcement zone. This issue arises with some regularity; Columbus is an observed federal
holiday but is not an observed local holiday. Overtime parking enforcement on Columbus Day has
generated complaints in the past and at least one Councilmember fielded a complaint. An easy fix is to
declare Columbus Day a holiday for the purposes of parking enforcement.
Council President Fraley-Monillas said she fielded a complaint from citizen who received a ticket for
overtime parking on Columbus Day. She requested Council consider this amendment.
It was the consensus of the Council to schedule approval on next week’s Consent Agenda.
B. REPORT ON FINAL CONSTRUCTION COSTS FOR THE ANNUAL SEWER
REPLACEMENT PROJECT - PHASE 2
Public Works Director Phil Williams explained issues were encountered with the original scope of the
project due to sandy soils on Dayton. Various options were considered and a decision was ultimately
made that not enough information was available and that scope was removed from the project and an end
to the project was negotiated with the contractor. A total of six change orders, some additions and some
Packet Page 12 of 259
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes

Page 10
reductions, resulted in a contract approximately $277,000 lower than the Council original authorized.
Staff is seeking Council approval to close out the contract.
It was the consensus of the Council to schedule approval on next week’s Consent Agenda.
C. PUBLIC WORKS QUARTERLY PROJECT REPORT
Public Works Director Phil Williams relayed all projects are moving forward; the phase the project is in
can be found in the second column from the right and comments in the last column on the right.
Councilmember Petso relayed a question she received today about tires in the water under the fishing
pier, noting the Council has learned a lot recently about tires whether shredded, crumb or deposited
whole. She asked whether the fishing pier rehabilitation project will include removing those tires. Mr.
Williams answered that is not in the scope of project. Councilmember Petso asked if the scope could be
changed to add that and was there a reason for not removing the tires. Mr. Williams answered anything
could be added to a project with additional resources. That project is tightly budgeted; the $190,000
design phase was supported by Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. Construction costs of over
$1 million do not include removing the tires. Some of the work included looking the pier supports; those
examinations have already been done via a boat and a diver doing a condition assessment on the piers
below the water level. Councilmember Petso asked if he had any idea of the cost or how hard it would be
to look into. Mr. Williams offered to talk with Jim Stevens and Carrie Hite who are most familiar with
that project. He summarized no one has looked at that and it would require a diver. Removing the tires
may be an opportunity for volunteer divers.
Councilmember Buckshnis observed the report indicates the spray park will be completed September
2015. Mr. Williams relayed it is still hoped to have it open this year; the project has taken longer than
anticipated and is about 40% complete. Public Works is managing that project for the Parks Department.
If the weather holds, Parks hopes to have an opening this year.
Council President Fraley-Monillas pointed out there are tires in the dive park, on the ferry dock, on many
boat docks as well as the fishing pier. Before it is assumed the tires need to be removed from the fishing
pier, she suggested talking with Department of Ecology (DOE) or other group about why tires are used in
these various applications. She clarified the tires were placed around the fishing pier, not thrown in the
water. Mr. Williams said that used to be a fairly common practice, building artificial reefs by chaining
tires together and putting them in the water. The tires are populated by sea life as they were intended to
do. Whether in hindsight and with the current science that was a good idea was unclear. Council President
Fraley-Monillas suggested he confer with Ms. Hite about contacting DOE. Mr. Williams agreed.
Councilmember Mesaros agreed with Council President Fraley-Monillas’ suggestion to determine why
the tires were put in place in the first place, what the strategy was and the latest thinking. He suggested
volunteers from the active dive community could inventory the tires. He questioned how the tires would
be disposed of if a decision was made based on sound judgement to remove the tires. Mr. Williams said it
may be determined the tires are doing exactly what was intended; colonization of smaller organisms
which smaller fish feed off and larger fish eat the small fish, etc.
D. PRESENTATION OF A SETTLEMENT, RELEASE OF LIABILITY, AND EASEMENT
AGREEMENT – 9232 183RD PLACE SW
Public Works Director Phil Williams explained this agreement has been in the works for quite some time,
approximately 30 acres of the City drains through this property owner’s side yard. Some of the drainage
comes from City streets and a great deal from private property; during large events it has caused damage
to his driveway and raising concerns about the structural integrity of his driveway and side yard. Staff
Packet Page 13 of 259
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
September 8, 2015
Page 11
negotiated an agreement with the property owner in lieu of him filing a lawsuit in an attempt to settle any
claim with the City. The City worked with a consultant to design a remedy; most of it will exist on private
property but will connect to the City’s stormwater system in the street. The property owner will hire a
contractor to build it, the City will inspect it and as long as all the improvements are built in accordance
with expectations, the City will pay the property owner for the City’s portion of the project and he will
release the City from future liability and maintenance on the improvements that will be on his property.
Staff worked with the City Attorney’s office on the agreement; it is a good resolution, keeps costs down
to the City and the homeowner.
Councilmember Petso asked if this would ordinarily be discussed in executive session instead of in open
session. Mr. Taraday answered there is no ordinary as this is a fairly unusual agreement. Mr. Williams
said this is the first agreement of this type. Councilmember Petso said the design is for a 25-year storm
event; her understanding is a 25-year storm event occurs far more frequently than every 25 years and a
bigger storm event such as a 100-year storm even could occur. She asked whether the property owner was
okay with designing for a 25-year storm event. Mr. Williams answered yes, and that is the proper level of
design, the same that most of the City’s storm system is designed to. Designing to 100-year storm events
the pipes become enormous, the basins are huge and it is not cost effective. The latest data was used in
calculating the design for a 25-year storm event and a fair amount of conservatism is built in. In addition,
some of the upstream drainage has been rerouted in another direction which should lessen the load on this
channel by a noticeable amount. He was confident what was designed would be successful.
It was the consensus of the Council to schedule approval on next week’s Consent Agenda.
E. INTRODUCTION OF PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION ON CRITICAL AREA
REGULATIONS
Senior Planner Kernen Lien explained review of the critical area regulations began in late 2014. In June
he provided a precursor of some items being discussed by the Planning Board. Over the past year, the
Planning Board has reviewed the critical area regulations over five meetings and at their July 22
forwarded a recommendation to the City Council. Tonight is an introduction; because the critical area
regulations can be technical, another work session in scheduled in two weeks followed by a public
hearing.
Aaron Booy, ESA, advised Jim Keany, ESA was also present tonight to answer questions. They have
been supported by a geologist with the Stratton Group. He reviewed the background and purpose
• GMA (1990) requires identification, designation, and protection of critical areas
• Purpose of the CAO (CAO) is to protect:
o Natural environment
o Public health and safety
o Once lost, function and value of critical areas very difficult to restore.
• Existing CAO –established from comprehensive update in 2004 and 2005
He described what critical areas are:
• Frequently flooded areas
• Geologically hazardous areas
o Landslide, erosion, seismic hazards)
• Fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas (FWHCAs)
o Streams
o Habitat for listed and sensitive fish and wildlife species
o Lakes < 20 acres
• Wetlands
Packet Page 14 of 259
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
September 8, 2015
Page 12
He reviewed how the CAO protects critical areas:
• Prohibiting, limiting and/or allowing certain activities
• Requiring buffers or setbacks around critical areas
o Landslide and erosion hazards
o Wetlands
o FWHCAs (streams)
• Requiring avoidance and minimization of impacts
• Requiring mitigation sequencing for impacts
o Avoidance
o Minimization/reduction
o Rectification
o Compensation (for unavoidable impacts)
o Monitoring
He described the CAO update process:
• GMA requires cities to update CAOs on the same 8-year Comprehensive Plan update timeline
• Consideration of Best Available Science (BAS)
• Revise code
o Public participation and review
July 22: Planning Board recommended update
Today: City Council review process initiated
• Adopt revised Code
He described what BAS is:
• Research and guidance
o Conducted by qualified individuals
o Documented methodologies
o Verifiable results and conclusions
• Published bibliographies; state guidance; primary research publications
• 1995 Amendment to the GMA requires consideration of “best available science” for protecting
critical areas
Mr. Booy reviewed the BAS Review and Update:
• BAS addendum (March 2015)
o Companion to 2004 BAS Report (EDAW)
o Focused on new science and guidance in last decade
• Wetlands
o Delineation and rating
o Buffer approach
o Alternative mitigation strategies; mitigation guidance
• Floodplains
o Climate change
o Coastal flood zones
• Geological hazardous areas
o North Edmonds Earth Subsidence and Landslide Area Summary Report (Landau 2007)
o Newly available LiDAR data
• FWHCAs
o Buffer approach
o Habitat connectivity
Packet Page 15 of 259
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
September 8, 2015
Page 13
Mr. Lien referred to Exhibit 2, 2015 BAS addendum and Exhibit 5, BAS and Gap Analysis Matrix. He
reviewed revisions to the CAO:
• Geologically hazardous areas
o Revising how landslide hazard areas are defined
o Updating geological report requirements
o Setbacks and buffers determined by geotechnical report
• Wetlands – ECDC 23.50
o Updating delineation manuals
o Revising Wetland Categories Consistent with latest criteria
o Buffer widths being revised consistent with Ecology’s guidance for small jurisdictions
(Ecology Publication #10-06-002)
o Mitigation Ratios per Ecology guidance (Ecology Publication #10-06-011)
o Stream and wetland buffer reduction
CAO allows buffer reduction via buffer reduction or buffer averaging
Current code allows buffer reduction to be combined with buffer averaging
New code does not allow them to be combined, only one allowed with buffering
averaging preferred
• Small Isolated Wetlands (changed from exempt wetlands)
o ECDC 23.50.040.J
o Based on language in the Guidance for Small Jurisdictions
o Category III and IV wetlands less than 1,000 square feet
o Exempt from buffer provisions
o Not subject to avoidance
o May be altered if lost functions are replaced
o Added habitat score
He identified changes proposed to ECDC 23.90.040.C
• Requires retention or establishment of a minimum of 30 percent native vegetation on
undeveloped or redeveloped property within the RS-12 and RS-20 zones due to the prevalence of
critical areas in those zones
• Similar to a King County provision that was struck down by the courts (Citizens Alliance for
Property Rights v. Sims)
• Provide more definition to specific habitat features to be retained
o Indigenous species
o Native trees of 10 inches dbh make up more than 70% canopy coverage
• Provisions may be waived for properties that do not support native vegetation
Mr. Lien explained Edmonds was developed in a large part before any critical area regulations or
environmental regulations were adopted. He provided an aerial image of a stream between two houses
and a photograph of the actual stream, noting this situation exists throughout the City. This particular
stream came to staff’s attention when a house two parcels away from the stream was prevented from
constructing an addition because it was within the stream buffer.
He recalled 1-2 years ago the Council considered an interim ordinance regarding physically separated and
functionally isolated buffers and development within the developed footprint. The ordinance stalled at the
Planning Board and was put on hold anticipating the critical areas update. He reviewed a new section
within Allowed Activities, ECDC 23.40.20.C.4 that would allow development outright on:
• Site separated from a critical area by legally established roads, trails and structures 12 feet or
more in width may be physically separated and functionally isolated
• The director may require a site assessment by a qualified professional to make the determination
Packet Page 16 of 259
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
September 8, 2015
Page 14
He described changes with regard to development within the previously developed footprint:
• Allow development within the legally established footprint of development
• “Footprint of Existing Development” definition 23.40.320
o “The area of a site that contains legally established buildings, concrete, asphalt, gravel, paved
roads, parking lots, storage areas or other paved areas, driveways, walkways, outdoor
swimming pools and patios.”
• Site new development as far away from critical area as possible
• Enhancement required at a ratio of 1:1
Using the photograph and aerial image he described a hypothetical addition of a 600 square foot garage
on the graved area adjacent to the stream, noting it would meet the definition of a previously developed
area. The addition would require a 600 square foot enhancement of the stream buffer. The intent of the
footprint of existing development was to have critical areas enhanced. In this instance if the 75 foot buffer
was strictly applied and no development was allowed, the stream buffer would not be enhanced. The
addition would not cause any more harm and allowing some development in the previously developed
footprint would improve streams and wetlands throughout the City in the long run.
He reviewed changes to the code regarding additions:
• Additions to existing structures within a buffer that increase the footprint of development
• Outside the inner 25% of buffer
o No more than 300 square feet addition within the inner 50%
Mitigate at a ratio of 3:1
o No more than 500 square feet additional within the inner 50%
Mitigate at a ratio of 5:1
He described changes regarding frequently flooded areas:
• Currently regulated by building code Title 19 ECDC
• Include new flood zones (Zones V and VE)
• Amend ECDC 19.00.025 requiring structures within the coastal flood hazard zones to be
constructed two feet above base flood elevation
o New FEMA flood zone map expands the flood zone along within the waterfront area
o Natural Resource Council 2012 study predicts an average sea level rise of 2 feet by 2100.
He commented on height implications of the requirement for structures to be constructed two feet above
the base flood elevation:
• Requiring structures to be constructed above the base flood elevation will impact overall
allowable height as allowed by zoning
• Maximum allowable height is measured from an average level of undisturbed soil
• Modified definition of height in ECDC 21.40.030 so structures within the coastal flood zones
measure height from two feet above base flood elevation
New section added to critical area regulations:
• ECDC 23.40.215 - Critical areas restoration projects
o Provide relief from standard critical area buffer for restoration projects that is not required as
mitigation for a development proposal
o Restoration project involve:
The daylighting of a stream, or
Creation or expansion of a wetland that would cause a landward expansion of the wetland
and/or wetland buffer
Packet Page 17 of 259
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
September 8, 2015
Page 15
He described restoration project relief:
• May apply a buffer that is not less than 75% of the standard buffer to the restoration project
boundary
• Request a buffer between 50% and 7% of standard buffer if:
o 75% buffer would significantly limit use of the property
o Minimum necessary to achieve restoration project
o There will be a net environmental benefit
o Granting relief is consistent with the purposes of the critical area regulations
Mr. Lien reviewed next steps:
• Comments from state and tribal agencies (Commerce, Ecology, WDFW)
• September 22 City Council work session
• October 6 City Council public hearing
• Consideration for adoption
Councilmember Buckshnis commended Mr. Lien on his presentation. She asked him to describe the
relationship between the Shoreline Management Program (SMP) and the Critical Areas Ordinance
(CAO). Mr. Lien explained the CAO is an outgrowth of the Growth Management Act (GMA) and the
SMP is an outgrowth of the Shoreline Management Act (SMA); the two do not mesh. Within shoreline
jurisdiction, 200 feet from the ordinary high water mark, the SMA rules; outside that area, the CAO rules.
He recalled during the SMP update, certain areas of the existing critical area regulations were excepted
out and provisions included in the SMP. One of the main provisions was regarding wetlands and Ecology
requested the Guidance for Small Jurisdictions be included. Ecology is in the process of reviewing the
City’s SMP and are about to send comments to the City. This CAO update addresses a lot of Ecology’s
concerns with the CAO. As changes are considered for the SMP, he suggested incorporating the updated
CAO.
Councilmember Buckshnis asked if BAS addresses temperature change. She referred to a newspaper
article by King County Councilmember Larry Phillips regarding how the increase in stream temperature
affects fish, habitat, etc. Mr. Lien answered one of the functions of stream buffers is to provide shade. Mr.
Booy agree with Mr. Lien, ensuring buffers are adequate to provide a forested canopy that provides
adequate shade to the stream is the primary consideration. That was considered when the City’s buffers
were evaluated against buffer guidance within BAS. The fact that Edmonds is a built out urban area,
ensuring residents are able to use their property and not creating a lot of nonconforming structures must
be balanced with BAS and guidance for providing riparian habitat along streams. They concluded the
stream buffers in the City’s existing regulations are adequate for providing an adequate, relative large
buffer, 75 – 100 feet for streams with salmon.
Councilmember Buckshnis referred to the mitigation approach and things the director can require and
asked if that director is Shane Hope. Mr. Lien answered yes, it refers to the Development Services
Director. Councilmember Buckshnis observed the review is administrative and asked if ever reaches the
legislative level. Mr. Lien answered not usually, an appeal of a critical area variance application could
come to Council on a closed record review.
Councilmember Petso pointed out the BAS document does not seem to support the physically separated
and functionally isolated exception and in fact on page 6 it admits it does not support it. She asked staff
and the consultant to show where the science supported that type of exception. Her interpretation of the
science was that bigger buffers were better and when there were imperfect buffers, the buffer should be
even larger. Mr. Lien read from page 6, in highly developed communities such as Edmonds, standard
buffer widths may be difficult to achieve. As noted in the 2014 BAS report, many streams and wetland
buffers extend into residential yards that have been previously developed and provide limited function in
Packet Page 18 of 259
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
September 8, 2015
Page 16
terms of wetland protection. Furthermore, some buffers are substantially developed and contain
impervious surface in commercial and residential areas. While not explicitly stated in BAS and buffer
guidance documents, a scientific judgment of these areas would conclude that they do not provide the
same function and value as a vegetated or undeveloped buffer due to physical separation.
Mr. Lien pointed out one of issues with BAS is where it was conducted. In large part buffer studies are
conducted in areas where buffers actually exist such as rural areas. There is no specific peer reviewed
study that looked at a physically separated and functionally isolated buffer but a buffer is something that’s
adjacent to a critical area and provides value. When it is physically separated and functionally isolated, by
definition, it is not providing those values. He concluded the BAS report does address physically
separated and functionally isolate buffers. Critical area regulations need to be balanced with the reality on
the ground.
Councilmember Petso referred to the in-lieu-of fee for mitigation, finding the BAS report more or less
says that doesn’t work and provides a lot of examples where it has failed. She asked why that would be
started in Edmonds. Mr. Lien disagreed the BAS report said that; what fails with regarding to mitigation
is requiring mitigation on sites that are not appropriate for mitigation. The fee in lieu of would allow off
site mitigation. Washington State Department of Ecology established wetland banking for offsite
mitigation, basically a fee in lieu of program, State sponsored banks, where an enhanced wetland is
created and credits established and development at another location can buy credits for that bank.
Councilmember Petso asked if any the methods allowed mitigation to occur outside the City. Mr. Lien
said no, offsite mitigation should occur within same drainage basin. In the example of wetland banks, it
could occur outside the City but the likelihood of that happening was slim because wetland banks are
usually set up within a certain basin. Edmonds was not likely to be in the service area of one of the larger
banks.
Councilmember Petso referred to Table XXI regarding proposed new buffer widths where the buffer is
based on the category and width is added based on habitat values. She asked why some pages were not
included in the ordinance. Mr. Lien clarified she was referring to the Guidance for Small Jurisdictions
which was not included in the Council packet. Table XXI lists a number of wetland types; Category 1
wetlands include bogs, natural heritage wetland, forested wetland, none of which exist in Edmonds. The
only Category 1 wetland identified in the 2004 BAS is the Edmonds Marsh which is an estuarine wetland.
Councilmember Petso said it appeared it may apply to the marsh. Mr. Lien agreed that was the only
Category 1 that applied to Edmonds and it could be added. Councilmember Petso observed the buffer is
150 feet which is significant different if that section is not included.
Councilmember Petso referred to incentives for critical area restoration and asked whether other cities
have done that successfully. Mr. Lien answered not that he was aware of. He based that on the SMA
provisions and not wanting to discourage a restoration project. He clarified that is not for mitigation
projects required for development but rather something that is being because someone wants to do a
restoration project. Councilmember Petso expressed concern it may not be written as tightly as it should;
for example it appeared if she agreed to expand a wetland near her property by one inch, she
automatically got a 75% reduced buffer which did not seem to match the intent. Mr. Lien offered to
research.
Councilmember Nelson referred to page 5 of the Gap Analysis Matrix, 23.40.220 Allowed Activities and
removal of invasive species, where it is proposed to add, “the application of herbicides, pesticides…or
other hazardous substances, if necessary…” He asked the rationale for adding that. Mr. Booy answered
per WDFW, Ecology, and King County guidelines for controlling invasive species, some are noxious and
persistent enough that chemical treatment is the recommended and preferred strategy such as Japanese
Packet Page 19 of 259
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
September 8, 2015
Page 17
Knotweed, Canary Grass, and Himalayan Blackberry. There are very tight guidelines regarding how
herbicides are applied to complete maintenance activities such as ensuring the herbicides are safe within
an aquatic environment. Councilmember Nelson asked whether the invasive species is more harmful than
the herbicide. Mr. Booy answered there is a balance; looking at the long term health of the system, if the
invasive species can be replaced with a native, forested community a lot more habitat value is provided.
Focused on habitat functions of the system, there is a reasonable expectation that there would be long
term good as long as the invasive species removal activities are consistent with available guidance.
Councilmember Nelson referred to page 24 of the Gap Analysis Matrix where the bald eagle is removed
because it has been delisted from the Endangered Species Act. He noted one of the things that nearly
wiped out bald eagles was pesticides. There is no reference to state and federal regulations that require
conferring with WDFW if development is done within 660 feet of a nest. Mr. Lien explained in the
existing code the bald eagle section 23.90.040 was specifically related to endangered, threatened and
sensitive species; the bald eagle no longer falls into that category. The regulations no longer apply since
the bald eagle was delisted.
Councilmember Nelson referred to the WDFW website which stated although the bald eagle is no longer
listed as state threatened specifies, it is still remains classified by WDFW as a state sensitive species and
because they are still vulnerable and may continue to decline, cities and counties may continue to protect
eagles under local critical area rules pursuant to the GMA. Mr. Lien agreed the City had that option.
There used to be 3-4 nests in Edmonds; in the past when development was proposed within that area,
developers were referred to the State for regulation. Since the bald eagle was delisted, this section of the
code has not been applied. Mr. Booy offered to research, noting in projects outside of Edmonds they have
looked at eagle nests through the WDFW requirements for certain kinds of activities such as pile driving.
Mayor Earling suggested Councilmembers refer any substantive questions to Mr. Lien prior to the next
work session.
Councilmember Mesaros suggested Council be provided the Washington State Noxious Weed Control
Board’s list of noxious weeds. He asked if there were other lists of noxious weeds. Mr. Lien explained the
noxious weed list the City uses is the Snohomish County Noxious Weed Board’s list because the State
Noxious Weed Board delegates to the County.
With regard to the bald eagle, Councilmember Mesaros suggested the code refer to the State regulations.
Mr. Lien encouraged Councilmembers to contact him with any specific issues they want addressed at the
September 22 meeting. He will provide additional information regarding bald eagles and restoration
projects. Council President Fraley-Monillas encouraged Councilmembers to refer questions to Mr. Lien as
only 60 minutes is scheduled for this item on September 22.
F. PRESENTATION OF AN AGREEMENT WITH QUIET ZONE TECHNOLOGIES FOR
THE WAYSIDE HORN PROJECT
Public Works Director Phil Williams explained the City solicited Requests for Qualifications/Proposals
and received three responses. A selection committee reviewed the responses and recommends Quiet Zone
Technologies as the preferred vendor. This is a professional services agreement as well as a design/build.
QZT will do the design of a trackside warming system at Dayton and Main Streets, a highly directional
sound generator that mimic railroad horns but in a small footprint that does not spread to the community
and reduces the footprint of the noise. It will be a welcome addition to Edmonds for anyone who lives or
recreates near the railroad tracks. The agreement for approximately $208,000 includes a management
reserve which can only be used by the vendor if specific tasks are authorized by the City. QZT’s portion
of the contract is approximately $189,000 split between the design and construction phases. The 2015
Packet Page 20 of 259
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
September 8, 2015
Page 18
budget includes approximately $55,000 for design and there is slightly over $40,000 in the contract for
design. The 2016 budget will include $300,000 for this project. The exact cost will be determined once
the design is complete. There will be additional costs beyond what QZT can provide because the first task
is Design Team Review, a meeting with BNSF, Federal Railway Administration, WSDOT and the City to
figure out how this will work. There will be a cost for BNSF to integrate the wayside horn into their
existing system and those costs will be passed onto this project. Those costs are unknown until the design
is completed.
Councilmember Mesaros observed there is $300,000 in the 2016 budget; both the horns and the design
are estimated at $208,000. Mr. Williams agreed.
It was the consensus of the Council to schedule this on next week’s Consent Agenda.
G. 2015-2017 TEAMSTERS COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT (CONTRACT)
This item was moved to next week’s Consent Agenda.
7. MAYOR'S COMMENTS
Mayor Earling invited Council and the public to the burial of a time capsule on Saturday at 11:00 a.m. at
the Historical Museum Plaza. Holy Rosary’s 4th grade class determined what to include in the capsule.
The official ribbon cutting for the Cascadia Museum at Salish Crossing will occur on Saturday at 9:45
a.m.
8. COUNCIL COMMENTS
With regard to dangerous trees, Student Representative Girouard explained she lives on Edmonds Way
and trees in their yard could potentially fall onto Edmonds Way. She recalled her family returning home
after a weekend away to discover one of the big evergreens in their backyard completely gone. They still
have no idea what happened to it.
Councilmember Nelson announced a 9/11 ceremony at Fire Station 17 on September 11 at 9:11 a.m.
Councilmember Petso recalled a question she asked last week arose again tonight, whether crumb rubber
could be banned from public property in Edmonds and whether the ban could be retroactive. She noted
the City Attorney answered this via email and said it may be attorney-client protected unless asked in
open session. City Attorney Jeff Taraday responded the answer is somewhat dependent on whether crumb
rubber is in fact harmful. If crumb rubber is in fact harmful, then yes, the Council can ban it because the
City Council is entitled to protect citizens from harm, which is what the police power is for. If crumb
rubber is not harmful, then banning it would potentially be seen by a court as an arbitrary regulation that
is unduly burdensome. He did not have enough knowledge to know whether crumb rubber was harmful or
not so it was difficult for him to say definitively that it could or could not be banned.
Mr. Taraday commented those who have expressed concern with crumb rubber seem to acknowledge they
cannot prove that it’s harmful but feel certain there is enough smoke that one day they will be able to
prove there’s fire. Assuming that for the sake of discussion there is probably a good argument to be made
that the City Council could, from a police power standpoint, ban something that may in fact down the
road be proven to be harmful without being able to show definitively that it is in fact harmful today.
Mr. Taraday explained the difficulty with retroactivity is that crumb rubber exists in a lot of places in
Edmonds, certainly around the Puget Sound area and the United States it is the industry standard. Nearly
every college, professional and high school football teams play on crumb rubber. To impose a ban
Packet Page 21 of 259
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
September 8, 2015

retroactively the Council would probably need to demonstrate more than just the possibility that it could
be harmful because a retroactive ban that forced someone to remove crumb rubber from existing locations
would be have a much greater burden on those who are currently using crumb rubber than a prospective
ban would. The courts would look at that and ask whether that is an unduly burdensome regulation and to
overcome that hurdle, the Council may need to demonstrate a much greater risk of harm from crumb
rubber than it would with a prospective regulation.
Supposing crumb rubber cannot be proven harmful to human health at this time, Councilmember Petso
asked whether a ban could be substantiated with regard to the environment or does the Council’s police
power extend only to human health. Mr. Taraday answered the police power definitely extends to the
environment as well.
Council President Fraley-Monillas said the Council could technically ban crumb rubber on any City
owned land and not bring up any appeal issues. Mr. Taraday answered if it was only on City owned
property and City projects, the Council was not regulating in the same way as telling others what they can
do.
Council President Fraley-Monillas said the resolution regarding Councilmembers’ participation by phone
will be on next week’s agenda. The delay has been to allow research into who has called in, dates, length
of participation, etc.
To Jess Grant who commented on the tanker accident in Lac-Mégantic, Canada, Council President
Fraley-Monillas said she participates on King County Executive Dow Constantine’s Safe Energy
Leadership Alliance (SELA). They have sent letters to the United States Army Corp of Engineers, the
Lummi Nation, and others. regarding oil and tankers. SELA brought together more than 165 state, tribal
and local elected officials from five states and British Columbia to raise awareness of the scope of the
health, safety, economic, cultural, and environmental impacts of coal export and oil transport proposals
across the region. SELA is meeting in two weeks in Vancouver. On September 17 there will be a coal
train alliance meeting in the Plaza Room.

Authorization for Mayor to sign a Settlement, Release of Liability, and Easement Agreement – 9232 183rd Place
SW.
Recommendation
Authorize Mayor to sign the Settlement, Release of Liability and Easement Agreement.
Previous Council Action
On September 8, 2015, staff presented this item to Council and it was forwarded to the September 15,
2015, consent agenda.
Narrative
The private parcel at 9232 183rd PL SW hosts an open channel pipe system that carries stormwater runoff from approximately
30 acres, including some City right-of-way (Exhibit A). The parcel and the upstream area were annexed to the City in 1963
from Snohomish County. Most of the existing drainage system was installed prior to the annexation.
The current resident purchased the property in or before 1985. At that time, an open stormwater drainage channel crossed
through the property. In approximately 1985, the current owner altered the course of that drainage channel by relocating it and
enclosing it in a pipe in order to construct a garage. The relocated drainage channel/pipe now occasionally floods in and around
owner’s garage. The owner has asserted the occasional floods have caused cracks in the property’s driveway.
The owner claims that the City improperly determined the size of the stormwater pipe at the time the channel was relocated.
The City disputes that it had any involvement in or responsibility for the sizing or engineering of the pipe at the time the
channel was relocated. There is no documentation that the City was involved in the sizing or engineering of that pipe. The City,
while denying responsibility and liability for any of the flooding problem on the Property, would still like to resolve the
flooding matter amicably and so it does not cause damage to adjacent or upstream properties.
The City and owner met in 2013 to discuss a possible solution to the problem the City summarized that meeting and some
related follow up activity from that meeting in a letter dated March 17, 2015, attached hereto as Exhibit B.
The parties now intend to move forward with a resolution as substantially described in the March 17, 2015 letter. This
Settlement, Release of Liability, and Easement Agreement (Exhibit C) is intended to resolve this issue to the
satisfaction of both parties.
The $25,000 included in the Agreement will come from the Stormwater Utility Fund (422) under the capital project “City-wide
Drainage Replacements.” The approximately $5,000 the City spent designing the storm replacement will also come from the
same fund.

herein by this reference as if set forth in full, the terms of which are made terms of this
agreement except to the extent that they conflict with the terms expressly set forth below; and
WHEREAS, the parties now intend to move forward with a resolution as substantially
described in the March 17, 2015 letter; and
WHEREAS, the City retained CHS Engineers, at its own expense, to design
improvements to the stormwater infrastructure on the Property (the Improvements), which

would have capacity to handle even larger storm events; and
WHEREAS, the parties intend for the conditions and covenants contained in this
Easement and Agreement to run with the land in perpetuity, and to be binding on all
subsequent owners and occupants of the Property; and
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties, by executing this Agreement, have agreed to the
following terms in exchange for the consideration described below:
TERMS
Section 1. The City shall pay the Grantor the actual cost of the City-approved
Improvements PROVIDED THAT such payment shall not exceed Twenty-five Thousand
Dollars ($25,000.00) even if the actual cost exceeds that amount. In exchange for this
payment, the City will receive the Easement, release and waiver, and other terms and
covenants required of Grantor under this Agreement. Payment shall be made within 30 days
of completion of the construction of the City-approved Improvements by the Grantor.
Section 2. The Grantor hereby conveys to the City, and the City hereby accepts, a
perpetual, nonexclusive Stormwater Easement over the Property hereinabove described, of the
nature and character, and to the extent hereinafter described. The portion of the Property
burdened by the Stormwater Easement shall be the area reasonably necessary to allow the
existing stormwater channel and pipe system to cross the Property and the area reasonably
necessary to allow the City to access the Improvements for the purposes of inspecting and, if
it elects to do so, maintaining or repairing the same. Notwithstanding the grant of this
Stormwater Easement, the Parties hereby agree and acknowledge that it shall be the Grantor’s
responsibility, not the City’s, to regularly inspect and maintain the Improvements and keep
them functioning properly. Grantor shall also be obligated to make repairs to the
Improvements if and when such repairs are needed. The granting of this Stormwater Easement
to the City in no way shifts the inspection, maintenance, and repair burdens from the Grantor
to the City. The restrictions, conditions and easements imposed upon the use of the Property,
the acts which the Grantor, the City, and their respective successors and assigns, covenant to
do and refrain from doing upon the Property, and the acts which they covenant to permit to be
done upon the Property shall be as follows:
A. The foregoing Recitals are agreed to and incorporated herein, and shall be binding
upon the parties.
B. The City may, at its option, construct, enhance, install, maintain, repair, replace and
use the Improvements described in Exhibit C.
C. The City may continue to convey stormwater in a channel and/or pipe across, over,
under, and through the Property.
D. Grantor shall, at its own expense, obtain permits for and construct the Improvements
described in Exhibit C. Construction shall be completed no later than _September 30
Packet Page 127 of 259
2016. Any design changes to the Improvements that the Grantor plans to construct must be
approved in writing by the City prior to construction of said Improvements, PROVIDED
THAT if changes need to be made during construction that would typically be made in the
field to account for conditions that could only be discovered during construction, approval
of such changes may be obtained by submitting an as-built plan within ten days of the
completion of construction.
E. The Grantor, its successors and assigns, warrant that the Property shall be used and
maintained in such a manner as not to damage the Improvements or otherwise interfere
with the continuous flow of stormwater across, over, under, and through the Property.
F. Any written notices required by this Agreement shall be sent to the City, c/o Public
Works Director, 7110 210th St SW, Edmonds, WA 98026; or if to the Grantor, c/o Owner,
9232-183rd PL SW, Edmonds WA 98020.
Section 3. The Stormwater Easement and the conditions and covenants set forth herein
shall run with the Property and the benefits and burdens shall bind and inure to the benefit
of both of the parties, their successors and assigns, in perpetuity, and shall constitute a
covenant running with the title to the Property.
Section 4. The written provisions and terms of this Agreement, together with any
Exhibits attached hereto, shall supersede all prior agreements of any officer or
representative of the parties, and such statements shall not be effective or be construed as
entering into or forming a part of or altering in any manner whatsoever, this Agreement or
the Agreement documents unless expressly incorporated herein.
Section 5. Grantor, on behalf of its heirs and assigns, hereby waives and releases the
City, its officers, employees, agents, and assigns, from all past, present, and future claims
for damages to Grantor and the Property which may be related to and/or caused by
stormwater crossing, over, under, and through the Property. This scope of this release and
waiver includes, without limitation, claims for damages caused by or related to improper or
negligent design of the Improvements, claims for damages caused by or related to
increases in the volume of water passing through the channel/pipe from upstream, and
claims for damages caused by or related to the failure of the Improvements to prevent
future flooding of the Property.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be executed this __
day of __________________, 2015.

Information
Subject Title
Authorization for Mayor to sign an Agreement with Quiet Zone Technologies for the Wayside Horn
project
Recommendation
Authorize Mayor to sign the Agreement.
Previous Council Action
On September 8, 2015, staff presented this item to Council and it was forwarded to the September 15,
2015, consent agenda.
Narrative
Main St. and Dayton St. are two at-grade railroad crossings with on-going noise from the train horn with
the more than sixty daily train crossings from Sounder Commuter, Amtrak, and Freight (BNSF) trains.
The Wayside Horns would help reduce noise levels throughout the Edmonds Downtown area.
On July 7, 2015, a Selection Committee interviewed three project teams. The team from Quiet Zone
Technologies was selected by the Committee based on their experience with similar railroad projects. Staff
and the consultant have agreed on a scope of services and fee proposal in the amount of $48,223 for design
and $140,905 for installation of the horns and supporting equipment. A 10% management reserve for
services not identified in the scope of work is included in the agreement. The 2015 Budget includes
$50,000 to fund the design phase. The proposed 2016 Budget will include $300,000 in funding to pay for
the remaining costs including installation and BNSF costs to coordinate and complete the project. The
City will request an estimate from BNSF during the Diagnostic Team Review (Task 1) to determine their
cost to complete the installation.
The design phase is scheduled to start in October 2015 and the installation is scheduled to be completed by
December 2016. The initial fee for the agreement is $208,042 and includes the 10% management reserve.

THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into by and between the CITY OF
EDMONDS, a Washington municipal corporation (hereinafter the CITY) and QUIET ZONE
TECHNOLOGIES (hereinafter QZT).
WITNESSETH: THAT WHEREAS, the CITY has determined that it requires detailed
information relating to the possible installation of wayside horns at two (2) at-grade railroad
crossings along the BNSF Railway Corridor (Main Street Crossing #085445K and Dayton Street
Crossing #085439G) (the Wayside Horns Project) before deciding whether to proceed with such
an installation; and
WHEREAS, in the event that the CITY decides to proceed with the Wayside Horns
Project, it requires detailed information relating to the design and installation of the Project; and
WHEREAS, the CITY has sought proposals for the design and installation of the
Wayside Horns Project; and

the materials, supplies, tools, equipment, labor and other services necessary for the design and
installation of the Wayside Horns Project, and agreed to accept as payment in full therefore the
sums set forth in QZT’s proposed schedule of values; and
WHEREAS, the said proposed scope of work and schedule of values, copies of which
are attached hereto as Attachments A and B respectively, and incorporated herein by this
reference, full y and accurately set forth and describe the terms and conditions upon which QZT
proposes to furnish said materials, supplies, tools, equipment and labor, and perform said work,
together with the manner and time of furnishing the same;
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED that, in consideration of the terms and
conditions contained herein and in the attached, which are made a part of this Agreement, the
parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:
1. SCOPE OF WORK. QZT shall do all the work and furnish all the materials,
supplies, tools, equipment and labor necessary for the design and installation of the
Wayside Horns Project in accordance with and as described in the proposed scope of
Packet Page 139 of 259
Page 2 of 8
work (Attachment A), and shall perform and make alterations in, or additions to, the
work provided under this Agreement and every part thereof, as requested by the CITY.
2. CONTRACT PRICE. QZT shall perform the work set forth in the proposed scope
of work for the prices set forth in the proposed schedule of values (Attachment B).
Payment shall be made only for authorized work, and only after the work is accepted by
the CITY. The costs records and accounts pertaining to this Agreement are to be kept
available for inspection by representatives of the CITY for a period of three (3) years
after final payment. Copies shall be made available upon request.
3. TERM OF AGREEMENT. The term of this Agreement shall commence upon
execution by the parties. QZT agrees to commence work under this Agreement for the
design and installation phases of the project on dates to be specified in written "Notices to
Proceed" to be provided by the City, and to fully complete the project no later than
December 31, 2016.
4. CHANGES/MANAGEMENT RESERVE FUND. The CITY may make changes to
the scope of work by negotiation of a formal written task order agreement at a mutually
agreed adjustment in the contract price. A management reserve fund (MRF) is being
established for the design and installation phases, to be used to allow QZT to perform
additional work outside of the Scope of Work set forth in Exhibit A. The maximum
MRF for both phases is set up as 10% of the cost of each phase. The CITY cannot
authorize the use of, and QZT cannot utilize, the MRF until a task order agreement is set
up. To set up a task order agreement, the CITY and QZT must negotiate the scope,
schedule and budget for the increase in direct salary and overhead costs, or the increase in
additional work, to use all or a portion of the MRF.
5. PROJECT CLOSE-OUT. QZT agrees to comply with all project close-out
requirements of the CITY, to include testing of equipment and maintenance training. All
materials installed in connection with the Wayside Horns Project will become the
property of the CITY upon project close-out.

withhold payment from QZT for any defective or unauthorized work. Defective or
unauthorized work includes, without limitation: work and materials that do not conform
to the requirements of this Agreement, and extra work and materials furnished without
the CITY’S written approval. If QZT is unable, for any reason, to satisfactorily complete
any portion of the work, the CITY may complete the work by contract or otherwise, and
QZT shall be liable to the CITY for any additional costs incurred by the CITY.
Packet Page 140 of 259
Page 3 of 8
"Additional costs" means all reasonable costs incurred by the CITY, including legal costs
and attorneys’ fees, beyond the maximum contract price under this Agreement. The
CITY further reserves the right to deduct the cost to complete the work, including any
additional costs, from any amounts due or to become due to QZT.
7. WARRANTY. QZT shall correct all defects in workmanship and materials within
one year from the date of the CITY’S acceptance of the work. When defects are
corrected, the warranty for that portion of the work shall extend for one year from the
date such correction is completed and accepted by the CITY. QZT shall begin to correct
any defects within seven (7) days of its receipt of notice from the CITY of the defect. If
QZT does not accomplish the corrections within a reasonable time, the CITY may
complete the correction and QZT shall pay all costs incurred by the CITY to accomplish
the correction.

agrees to hold harmless and indemnify the CITY, its officers, agents and employees from
any and all claims, liability, loss, or damage(s), including costs and reasonable attorneys’
fees for defense of the same, that the CITY may suffer as a result of claims, liability, loss,
or damages to any and all persons or property, costs, or judgments against the CITY
which result from, arise out of, or are in any way connected with the work to be
performed by QZT under this Agreement. With respect to the performance of this
Agreement and as to any claim against the CITY, its officers, agents and employees,
QZT expressly waives its immunity under Title 51 of the Revised Code of Washington,
the Industrial Insurance Act, for injuries to its employees and agrees that the obligation to
indemnify, defend and hold harmless provided for in this paragraph extends to any claim
brought by or on behalf of any employee of QZT. This waiver is mutually negotiated by
the parties. This paragraph shall not apply to damage resulting from the sole negligence
of the CITY, its agents and employees. To the extent any of the damages referenced by

agents or employees, this obligation to indemnify, defend and hold harmless is valid and
enforceable only to the extent of the negligence of QZT, its officers, agents and
employees. QZT shall comply with all applicable sections of the applicable Ethics laws,

Subject Title
Closed Record Review of the Planning Board's recommendation to approve an application by Merlone
Geier Partners to rezone a portion of a 9.1 acre property at the northwest corner of 220th Street SW and
Highway 99. The property is currently zoned General Commercial (CG2) with the western half of the
property encumbered by a contract rezone (R-02-90). The rezone request would remove the contract
rezone and its restrictions on the western half of the property and leave the property under the CG2 zone.
(File #PLN20150024).
Recommendation
Direct the city attorney to draft an ordinance approving the property owner's request to remove the
contract zoning on the western portion of the property.
Previous Council Action
None
Narrative
The applicant is requesting to remove the contract zoning and its restrictions on the western half of the
property to permit further development of the property. The contract zoning currently restricts any type of
change to the western portion of the property. If removed, the underlying zoning of General Commercial
(CG2) will remain in place.
A site-specific rezone is a “Type IV-B” application. Staff makes a recommendation to the Planning Board
who conducts a public hearing and forwards a recommendation to the City Council. The Council holds a
closed-record review of the project and makes the final decision.
The full record of the Planning Board's review is contained in the attached exhibits. The recommendation
of the Planning Board for approval is contained in the board's minutes (Exhibit 1).

PUBLIC HEARING ON APPLICATION BY MERLONE GEIER PARTNERS: The applicant is proposing to rezone
a portion of a 9.1-acre site at the northwest corner of 220th Street SW and Highway 99. The property is currently
zoned General Commercial (CG2) with the western half being encumbered by a contract rezone (R-02-90). The
rezone request would remove the contract rezone and its restrictions on the western half of the property and leave the
property under the CG2 zone. (File Number PLN20150024)
Mr. Conrad presented the Staff Report, noting that the property is located at 21900 – Highway 99 (Corner of 220th Street
S.W. and Highway 99), which is the former location of the Top Foods Grocery Store. He provided a zoning map to illustrate
the location and zoning of the subject property and adjacent properties. He noted that properties to the east and south are
zoned for commercial uses and include a fast-food drive in, coffee shop, casino, gas station and car dealership. The Edmonds
Swedish Hospital Campus is located to the north on property that is zoned CG and located within the Medical Use (MU)
zoning district. Property to the west is zoned CG2 and Multi-Family Residential (RM 2.4). An office building is located on
the CG2 zoning, with an apartment building located on the RM 2.4 zoning.
Mr. Conrad reviewed that a retail building was developed on the 9.1 acre site in 1992, following the City Council’s 1991
approval of a contract rezone for approximately 5.5 acres of the western half of the property from Multi-Family (RM 2.4) to
CG2 to accommodate development of the approximately 88,300 square foot grocery store. The contract rezone stipulated
conditions related to traffic mitigation that included upgrades on 220th Street SW and 7th Avenue West, as well as traffic
impact fees. The contract also placed restrictions on the hours of construction, hours of operation, and hours for delivery
trucks. Lastly, the contract included restrictions relative to the site plan and built conditions. While conditions relative to the
hours of operation and traffic mitigation have been met, the land use conditions significantly limit further development of the
property. The current property owner is seeking to remove the contract zoning but maintain the underlying CG2 zoning.
Mr. Conrad provided a Google Earth map to illustrate the condition of the property in 1990 and noted there were older
residential homes nearby and stands of significant trees. The hospital campus to the north was much smaller, and the
property to the west was developed as multi-family. Based on the character of the area in 1990 and public feedback, the
Planning Board and City Council put contract zoning in place on the western portion of the property to limit development and
meet the Comprehensive Plan goals that were in place at the time.
Mr. Conrad provided a Google Earth map to illustrate the current conditions on the property, noting that the hospital campus
has expanded to the northern boundary of the subject property and there are significantly more office-type uses to the west.
A car dealership and gas station have also been developed since the subject property was developed in 1992. Based on the
current character of the area, as well as the goals and policies called out in the City’s current Comprehensive Plan, staff is
recommending that the Planning Board forward a recommendation to the City Council in support of the applicant’s request to
remove the contract zoning on the western portion of the property, which would remain as CG2 zoning. The proposed
change would allow the property owner to further develop the site consistent with the zoning regulations and development
standards currently in place.
Board Member Stewart noted that 10 significant trees are discussed in the Environmental Checklist, but they are not
identified on the site map. She requested more information relative to the trees. Mr. Conrad advised that six trees are located
in the parking area and four trees are located along 220th Street SW. Board Member Stewart asked if the trees along 220th
Street SW are located on the subject property or within the City’s right-of-way. Mr. Conrad said he believes the trees are
located on the subject property. He noted that, as per the contract rezone, improvements on 220th Street SW maximized the
right-of-way to accommodate the sidewalks and the required street trees had to be planted on the private property.
Board Member Stewart emphasized that the City encourages developers to retain trees to the maximum extent feasible, and
she hopes consideration will be given when the plans are drawn up. She noted that the trees appear healthy.
Board Member Rubenkonig noted that the Staff Report refers to the existing trees as mature trees that were retained when the
site was developed in 1992. However, it is important to keep in mind that there were more trees on the site before it was
developed. In the contract rezone, the City Council specifically called out the remaining trees as trees that should remain on
the site after development. She summarized that the conditions of the contract rezone relative to traffic mitigation and hours
of operation have been met over the past 24 years. The only thing that would change if the contract is removed is that the
Packet Page 155 of 259
DRAFT
Planning Board Minutes
July 22, 2015 Page 3
trees would be removed in order to build as planned. She suggested the Board consider how the site has maintained its
integrity for the past 24 years and the presence the trees add to the parcel.
Brian Dickerson, PacLand, said he was present to represent the applicant, Merlone Geier Partners, and the architect, McG??
Architects. He thanked Mr. Conrad for his thorough Staff Report and indicated support for the staff’s recommendation of
approval. He referred to the criteria the Planning Board and City Council must consider when reviewing rezone applications,
and said he believes the application meets the criteria due to changes that have taken place along the Highway 99 Corridor
over the last 24 years. The proposed application would retain the underlying CG2 zone, but eliminating the contract would
allow for further development of the property that is consistent with the City’s goals for development along the corridor. He
noted that changes in the area include additional development, roadway improvements, and better transit service. He believes
the proposed rezone would be compatible with the surrounding uses, and he foresees additional development along Highway
99 consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan goal of encouraging a variety of mixed commercial uses. He provided a
map of the subject property, identifying the location of the existing building, as well as the property that is currently governed
by a contract rezone. He summarized that eliminating the contract would provide for better utilization of the parking lot and
would be compatible with the surrounding area, as well as the goals and policies called out in the Comprehensive Plan for the
Highway 99 Corridor.
Chair Tibbott asked if Mr. Dickerson has any thoughts on how the property might be developed if the contract is lifted, other
than as a “new shops building.” Mr. Dickerson suggested that would be a better question for the applicant or property owner
to answer.
Chair Tibbott opened the public hearing. No one in the audience indicated a desire to provide comment, and the public
portion of the hearing was closed.
Mr. Lien explained that the current application is a site-specific rezone request, which is a Type IV-B (quasi-judicial)
decision. The application was submitted by the property owner and was not initiated by the City. He explained that quasi-
judicial decisions involve discretionary judgment by the decision bodies. The Planning Board is being asked to conduct a
public hearing and make a recommendation to the City Council. The City Council will consider the application in a closed-
record review and make the final decision. The record on the application is established by the Planning Board. When the
City Council considers the Planning Board recommendation, they can only consider what was discussed at the Planning
Board hearing and no new information can be considered. He reminded the Board of the decision criteria for rezone
applications found in Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) 20.40.010, and noted that the Staff Report addresses
how the application is consistent with each criterion. When the Planning Board formulates its recommendation to the City
Council, it should make mention of whether or not the application is consistent with the criterion. He emphasized that
appearance of fairness is also important. Board Members should disclose any contact they might have had with the applicant
or any other appearance of fairness issues.
Vice Chair Lovell asked the purpose of the proposed new shops building. Ross Vontver, Merlone Geier Partners, said the
proposed building is intended to house small shops, and small shop owners have expressed an interest in locating in the new
building. If the proposed rezone is approved and the building is constructed, it is likely that three tenants could be
accommodated in the approximately 6,000 square foot building.
Vice Chair Lovell noted that the site is currently classified as part of the Medical Use (MU) District. Mr. Lien agreed that the
parcel is located within the Highway 99 Corridor and MU District. Vice Chair Lovell pointed out that CG2 zoning within the
MU District allows for greater building height and massing. It also has fewer restrictions relative to retail uses on the ground
floor, and allows for a mixture of uses that includes residential. He asked if the property owner has given any thought to
incorporating residential uses to a greater degree in future development. Mr. Vontver answered no. He explained that the
new tenant for the existing building is Winco, and their parking requirement is such that they would only agree to allow the
proposed 6,000 square foot building.
Vice Chair Lovell voiced concern that there would still be too much parking area even if the contract is lifted and a new
building is constructed on the site in conjunction with the existing building. He asked if a study has been done by Winco to
clearly establish the amount of parking needed. Mr. Vontver answered affirmatively. Vice Chair Lovell recalled that, over
the years, there have been a number of comments that there is a sea of parking available at this site that is not fully utilized.

Vice Chair Lovell provided pictures he took of the subject property to illustrate the location of the existing building, as well
as the existing trees and landscaping. The pictures also illustrated the development that has occurred on surrounding
properties since the subject property was developed in 1991, including a gas station, casino and car dealership. He also noted
that a major mixed-use development has been proposed southeast of the subject property. He pointed out the trees that are
located in the interior landscape area, as well as the trees that are located along 220th Street SW, and requested clarification
about which trees would be retained as per the proposal. Mr. Dickerson answered that the trees within the planting strip on
the west side of 220th Street SW would be retained and potentially added to. However, the interior trees, as well as most of
the trees within the planting strip along the east side of 220th Street SW would likely have to be replaced to accommodate
construction of the new building. Mr. Lien reminded the Board that the design standards for the CG2 zone require a four-
foot, fully-landscaped planting area along the street.
Board Member Stewart recognized that the proposal is a rezone application and not a project application, and tree location
and size will be required as part of the development permit application. However, she suggested that it would be helpful for
the applicant to identify the existing trees and their diameter on the site plan when the proposed rezone application is
presented to the City Council for review.
Board Member Stewart asked staff to clarify the difference between Mixed-Use (MU) and General Commercial (CG2)
zoning. She said her understanding is the MU provides more flexibility for residential uses. Mr. Lien clarified that the MU
designation to the north actually identifies the Medical Use District and not mixed-use zoning. He emphasized that
residential uses are also allowed in the CG2 zone.
Mr. Lien clarified that the current contract on the site not only addresses the existing trees, it was written to be a binding site
plan that only allows the grocery store use. As per the contract conditions, no other commercial structure can be built on the
site regardless of whether the trees will be retained or not.
Board Member Stewart asked about the height limit for buildings in the CG2 zone, and Mr. Lien answered that the height
limit is 75 feet; but the subject property is located within the Highway 99 Corridor, which has been designated as “high-rise
node.”
Board Member Robles asked if something other than Winco could have located on the site if the request to lift the contract
had been submitted and approved two years ago. Mr. Lien answered affirmatively. Board Member Robles observed that
lifting the contract would enable the site to be redeveloped in a number of different ways should Winco decide to vacate the
property at some point in the future. Mr. Lien agreed that lifting the contract would enable the property to be redeveloped
consistent with CG2 zoning, with no restrictions.
Board Member Rubenkonig observed that the Planning Board Agenda lists the application as a “citizen request.” This was
confusing to her because, although the applicant is the property owner, he/she is not a citizen of Edmonds. Mr. Lien noted
that there are very few choices to check on the Staff Report memorandum, and “citizen request” was the most appropriate.
Board Member Rubenkonig noted that there are several issues identified in the Staff Report that should be discussed as part
of the record:
• Page 4 of the Staff Report makes it clear that housing is a permitted use in the CG2 zone.
• Page 5 of the Staff Report states that removing the mature trees would be an impact of removing the contract zoning as
proposed by the applicant.
• Page 7 of the Staff Report states that the contract needs to be terminated in order for the southern section of the site to be
developed. However, if other parts of the site were developed, the contract would not have to be dropped. The rezone
request is really a site-specific situation because the building could be located elsewhere on the parcel without requiring
termination of the contract rezone.
• Page 2 of Attachment 2 points out that the conditions for the contract rezone have been met, but the termination of the
contract would eliminate the protection of the mature trees along 220th Street SW. She understands that the Design
Standards will require that the site be landscaped in a certain way, but she questioned if there is any way the City could
require that the trees be protected as part of the development proposal. Mr. Lien answered no. He reminded the Board
Packet Page 157 of 259
DRAFT
Planning Board Minutes
July 22, 2015 Page 5
that they are reviewing a contact rezone application and not a building proposal. Board Member Rubenkonig said her
intent was to point out the connection between terminating the contract and protecting the mature trees.
• Page 9 of Attachment 5 notes that 10 existing trees, as well as various shrubs and groundcover, would be removed in the
parking lot landscape area to accommodate the proposed development.
• Page 7 of Attachment 9 goes back to 1991 and shows the high regard for the existing trees on the landscape plan as the
contract rezone was considered in order to allow the existing grocery store building.
Board Member Rubenkonig asked staff to share their thoughts as to how protection of the mature trees could be considered in
light of a possible motion on the part of the Board to terminate the contract. Could they put a condition on the termination of
the contract? Mr. Lien pointed out that putting a condition on the termination would be essentially establishing another
contract rezone, and that is not the request that is currently before the Board for consideration. Board Member Rubenkonig
asked if the Board could recommend denial of the application based on the need to protect the mature trees that were called
out for protection in 1991. Board Member Lovell reminded the Board that they are being asked to consider the request to
remove the contract and rezone the property to CG2. He asked if the Planning Board would have an opportunity to review a
future development proposal for the site. Mr. Lien answered that development proposals are not reviewed by the Planning
Board.
Mr. Lien reminded the Board of the criteria that must be considered when reviewing rezone applications (ECDC 20.40.010).
He stated the criteria as follows:
A. Comprehensive Plan. Whether the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
B. Zoning Ordinance. Whether the proposal is consistent with the purposes of the zoning ordinance, and whether the
proposal is consistent with the purposes of the proposed zone district.
C. Surrounding Area. The relationship of the proposed zoning change to the existing land uses and zoning of the
surrounding or nearby property.
D. Changes. Whether there has been sufficient change in the character of the immediate or surrounding area or in City
policy to justify the rezone.
E. Suitability. Whether the property is economically and physically suitable for the uses allowed under the existing
zoning, and under the proposed zoning. One factor could be the length of time the property has remained undeveloped
compared to the surrounding area, and parcels elsewhere with the same zoning.
F. Value. The relative gain to the public health, safety and welfare compared to the potential increase or decrease in value
to the property owners.
Chair Tibbott expressed his belief that the proposal to remove the contract is completely consistent with the current level o f
development along Highway 99 and the surrounding area. There has been a great deal of change over the last 25 years, and
he expects even more change in the next 25 years. It makes sense to remove the contract and bring the entire parcel under
one zoning designation. He said he believes the proposed new shop building will make the area even more walkable and
interesting for those who might be on the sidewalk. It is close to the southern walkway and he would like to think by
removing the contract, the owner might also consider opportunities for more intense development on the property that would
make it not only more walkable, but also add the possibility of additional residents. He said he finds the proposal completely
consistent with the rezone criteria.
Chair Tibbott said that while it is somewhat disturbing to think that some mature trees will be lost, he is confident that
whatever is developed on the site will have adequate design review and preserve as much of the landscaping as possible. He
said he envisions that a project would result in even more landscaping than what currently exists on the site.
Vice Chair Lovell expressed support for removing the contract, as well. However, it is important to keep in mind that what is
there currently may not be there 10 years from now. Whatever is developed on the site in the future must be consistent with
the CG2 zoning, which allows flexibility for redevelopment for the good of the Highway 99 Corridor and the City as a whole.
The proposed change is warranted in light of the changes that have occurred within the hospital district, as well as the
extensive development that is planned for the southeast corner of 220th Street SW and Highway 99. He said he believes
further development of the site would result in a positive impact for the area.

Board Member Rubenkonig commented that, although not required, the applicant chose to submit a site plan as part of the
rezone application. She asked the applicant’s representative to explain why other locations on the subject property were not
pursued. Mr. Vontver explained that during the lease negotiations, Winco flat out denied the property owner the ability to
construct a building in any other location other than the one identified on the site plan. As per the agreement, the building
must be constructed in the proposed location or not at all. He noted that Winco voiced concern that a building closer to
highway would block the view corridor and make the grocery store less visible from the street. Board Member Rubenkonig
asked if any internal locations were considered. Mr. Vontver explained that buildings located within the interior of the site
can be very disruptive to the grocery shoppers’ experience. It also makes parking more difficult. Board Member
Rubenkonig asked if it would be possible to place the new building in the southwest corner of the property. Mr. Vontver
answered that the property owner is bound by the current lease with Winco, which will only allow one new 6,000 square foot
building in the location identified. He explained that, originally, the property owner was unaware of the contract and
believed the entire site was zoned CG2. It wasn’t until later in the process that they discovered that the overlay needed to be
addressed through a rezone application.
Board Member Robles asked if Winco might look more favorably on a different location for the building if the tenants of the
new building were complementary to Winco’s product. In other words, would Winco be willing to make concessions if the
tenants of the new building drew additional customers to the site. Mr. Vontver explained that there were no prospective
tenants when the lease was being negotiated with Winco. The only thing they knew was that the zoning allowed for retail
uses, which is consistent with the type of shopping center development and the zoning. The leasing activity for the new
shops building has taken place after the lease with Winco was signed. Board Member Robles expressed his belief that the
contract should have been removed two years ago before the property owner entered into lease negotiations with Winco. Mr.
Vontver agreed. Board Member Robles commented that the proposed change is good. However, when the proposal is
presented to the City Council, it would be wise for the applicant to address common citizen concerns about tree location, lack
of intensity in the development and the order of events that determined the location of the building.
Again, Mr. Lien reminded the Board that, with the current contract rezone, the proposed new shops building could not be
located anywhere on the site. The contract rezone only allows for the existing grocery store building. Vice Chair Lovell
asked about the length of the lease between Winco and the property owner. Mr. Vontver answered that the lease is for 40
years.
BOARD MEMBER LOVELL MOVED THAT THE BOARD FIND THAT FILE NUMBER PLN20150024
(REQUEST TO REMOVE THE CONTRACT ZONING AND ITS RESTRICTIONS ON THE WESTERN HALF OF
THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 21900 HIGHWAY 99) MEETS THE CRITERIA FOUND IN ECDC 20.40.010 AS
OUTLINED IN THE STAFF REPORT DATED JULY 22, 2015, AND FORWARD A RECOMMENDATION OF
APPROVAL TO THE CITY COUNCIL. BOARD MEMBER CHEUNG SECONDED THE MOTION, WHICH
CARRIED BY A VOTE OF 5-0-1, WITH BOARD MEMBER RUBENKONIG ABSTAINING.
Board Member Rubenkonig explained that she chose to abstain from the vote because she felt the process was incomplete.
Vice Chair Lovell commented that it probably would have done well for the applicant not to show a plan, but just ask for the
rezone to accommodate Winco. He said he believes the application will study options for constructing the building without
removing all of the trees. However, that is not a subject of the application before the Board. Mr. Vontver said the applicant
appreciates the sensitivity about trees. They are stuck in a hard place because they signed a lease with the grocery store
tenant before they knew about the contract restrictions.
PRESENTATION OF DRAFT COMPLETE STREETS SR-104 CORRIDOR ANALYSIS
Mr. Hauss presented the draft Complete Streets SR-104 Corridor Analysis that was prepared by consultants from Fehr &
Peers. He advised that the analysis was presented to the City Council on July 14th and another meeting will be scheduled at a
later date. He advised that the study focuses on a five-mile stretch of principal arterial from 76th Avenue West to the
Edmonds Ferry Terminal. Due to the various modes of transportation interfacing along this regional corridor (higher than
average daily traffic, multiple bus stops, high pedestrian activity along certain sections, and bicycle connections), many
deficiencies exist. The purpose of the analysis was to develop a corridor master plan that identifies safety, access

cases of voice vote, it shall be sufficient for the Chair to announce, and the
record to reflect, whether the motion carried or failed. Regardless of method of
voting, each council member shall have the right, before the next matter is
considered, to explain the reasons for his or her vote and such a request shall
be regarded as a matter of privilege.
5.5.7 A Councilperson may only abstain from voting when he or she has a direct
personal or pecuniary interest not common to other members of the Council,
which is fully expressed to all other members of the Council during the Council
meeting.
Rule 5.6 SUSPENSION OF RULES
These rules may be temporarily suspended for a particular matter by five votes.
Rule 5.7 RECONSIDERATION
A council member may move reconsideration of an item voted on during an
administrative session at that day's legislative session or at the next briefing session.
All legislative decisions of the City Council regarding ordinances, resolutions and
hearing items are final. When permissible, a council member may re-submit a
subsequent ordinance or resolution to repeal or modify a prior city council action.
Rule 5.8 PARTICIPATION BY TELEPHONIC COMMUNICATION
A Councilperson may participate telephonically in all or part of a Council Meeting if:
1. prior approval is given by the Council President for good cause, whose approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld,
2. all persons participating in the meeting are able to hear each other at the same
time, such as by the use of speaker phone and
3. the Councilperson participating telephonically shall have reviewed all of the
applicable material and participated in the relevant portion of the Council
Meeting related to the topic to which the Councilperson is voting on.
Any technical prohibitions or difficulties that prevent all parties present at the Council
Meeting from adequately communicating with one another will negate any
authorization previously given by the Council President.
RULE 6 – ADJUDICATIVE APPEALS AND HEARINGS
Adjudicative hearings are quasi-judicial hearings involving named parties. Testimony
during adjudicative hearings is limited to the parties involved in the hearing. Public
testimony is not accepted in adjudicative hearings. Where procedures for appeals and
hearings have been established by ordinance, the Council shall follow those

end: “In the event that a Board member is unable to abide by the Code of
Conduct policies, the Board, with a super majority vote, can recommend removal
of the board member to the County Executive Mayor, for action by the City
Council.”
With regard to the Bellevue Code:
• Retain numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 10 (eliminating 7, 8, 9 and 11).
With regard to the Kirkland Code of Conduct:
• It was agreed to also retain the first two paragraphs with the following change:
remove the first sentence that states “The Code of Conduct is supplemental to
the Kirkland Municipal Code and the Code of Ethics.”
B. Consideration of Council Comments Regarding Code of Ethics.
Councilmember Bloom recalled comments previously received from Councilmembers
related to disclosure of financial information. Councilmembers did not want board and
commission members to have to disclose financial information.
Councilmember Bloom also recalled that Councilmember Johnson did not want the
policy to go “backwards.” Councilmember Peterson stated that he would not want an
Ethics Policy to affect previous Councilmembers who did not have an opportunity to vote
on it. He would not want it to be retroactive.
Councilmember Bloom referred to the Bellevue Code of Ethics under 1.E. where it states
the complaint must be filed within two years of the date of the occurrence or occurrences
alleged to constitute a violation of the Code of Ethics. Councilmember Peterson stated
he reads this to mean moving forward; not retroactive. It was agreed by
Councilmembers to ask the City Attorney to look at this.
Councilmembers next discussed the complaint procedure. It was noted that Bellevue
has an Ethics Officer and Kirkland uses a Hearing Examiner. Councilmember Peterson
commented that he likes the idea of having an Ethics Officer, noting the Hearing
Examiner deals mostly with land use issues. Councilmember Bloom commented that
given the issues related to staff availability and Hearing Examiner availability, she
believes the Code should be modeled after Bellevue (versus Kirkland). Councilmember
Peterson agreed.
Councilmembers agreed to use the Bellevue Code of Ethics (eliminate Section B that
begins on page 5 – except for number 9. Number 9 deals with “Nepotism” and the
committee would like this included in the Code of Ethics.)
C. Discussion regarding Council attendance via speaker phone.
Councilmember Peterson stated that in reviewing the sample procedures included in the
packet, he thought the procedures from Spokane was the simplest and gives some
latitude to the Council President and the council member who would be calling in. The
other procedures seemed to be more detailed and included limiting the participation by
phone to only one item.
Packet Page 243 of 259
Public Safety & Personnel Committee
September 10, 2013
Page 3 of 4
Councilmember Bloom expressed concern with limiting participation to one item noting
that the Councilmember who is calling in needs to be able to hear such things as
“Audience Comments” that may include comments that would be important to hear for
the topic of interest. Councilmember Peterson agreed that the meeting should be
attended as a whole, but pointed out in reality it may not be possible.
Councilmember Peterson suggested under “Code of Conduct” to add “attendance for
entire meetings; expected to show up on time and be available for the entire meeting.”
Councilmember Bloom commented that she prefers the Bothell policy. Councilmember
Peterson agreed except recommended removing the limit to one agenda item.
It was the recommendation of the Councilmembers to adopt the Bothell policy with the
major change of not limiting to one agenda item and change the language that refers to
City Manager form of government.
Councilmember Bloom noted that the Bothell policy refers to “rare occasion.” She
suggested this be defined and would like it to be limited as much as possible. She
suggested putting a cap on how many times it can happen.
Councilmembers recommended converting the Bothell policy to an Edmonds policy;
consider what “rare occasion” means to see if it would be desired to limit how many
times someone can call in; if there is a public hearing associated, being able to listen to
the entire public hearing is mandatory.
D. Public Comments
Ken Reidy, Edmonds, commented that he believes it is important that City Council
members hear public comment before a vote is taken.
He wanted to thank the committee for looking at the Code of Ethics and Code of
Conduct issues. As a citizen, he believes these issues need to be looked at more
broadly than only boards, commissions and council. He believes it should apply to staff,
Mayor and City Attorney. He has a hard time seeing how the Mayor can enforce a Code
of Conduct because of his relationship with the staff.
Mr. Reidy provided examples of why a Code of Conduct and Code of Ethics is important.
He referred to an email from the City Attorney replying to an email from Jeannie
McConnell telling her that there is no rush to respond to Mr. Reidy’s request in the email.
He read an email that was sent by Mayor Haakenson to Michael Plunkett dated October
29, 2009. The email was sent from a private email account by Gary Haakenson. A
summary of the email includes: The email states that the Hearing Examiner was set to
hear the Reidy/Thuesen case on November 4. The email references an executive
session that was scheduled related to the case and also states a full discussion agenda
item was scheduled by DJ to talk about the Reidy/Thuesen issue. The email includes
the statements “If he persists and puts it on the agenda, you may want to rally three
other votes to remove it from the agenda on Tuesday night if you think its wise. Just
trying to keep you in the loop as to what he is doing. Why he is doing it is beyond me
but if he’s working with Reidy….it must be to get at you somehow.”

COUNCIL PRESIDENT PETSO MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS,
TO DELETE “OR THE CITY” FROM ITEM 3 IN THE FIRST SECTION. MOTION CARRIED
UNANIMOUSLY.
Councilmember Bloom referred to the final paragraph, “Violations of this Code of Conduct should be
raised with an appropriate individual: the group leader, a relevant staff member, a City Council member
or the Mayor. Persistent violations could lead to an effort to remove the individual from the group.” She
recommended clarifying that this applied to a violation of the Code of Conduct by a City Board,
Commission, Committee, or Work Group and not an elected official.
Councilmember Johnson pointed out the resolution addresses the Code of Conduct for the Mayor, City
Councilmembers, and members of all City Boards, Commissions, Committees, or Work Groups .
Councilmember Bloom explained this was added at the request of Councilmember Peterson due to his
interest in a means to remove a committee or board member due to a Code of Conduct violation.
Councilmember Buckshnis suggested adding “with the exception of Councilmembers and the Mayor.”
Council President Petso suggested deleting the phrase and revising the resolution in the future. She
commented on the difficulty developing a generic phrase because all boards, commissions, committees
and work groups have different processes for removal and appointment of members.
COUNCILMEMBER BLOOM MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS, TO
DELETE “VIOLATIONS OF THIS CODE OF CONDUCT SHOULD BE RAISED WITH AN
APPROPRIATE INDIVIDUAL: THE GROUP LEADER, A RELEVANT STAFF MEMBER, A
CITY COUNCIL MEMBER OR THE MAYOR. PERSISTENT VIOLATIONS COULD LEAD TO
AN EFFORT TO REMOVE THE INDIVIDUAL FROM THE GROUP.” MOTION CARRIED
UNANIMOUSLY.
COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT PETSO,
TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 1306 AS AMENDED, A RESOLUTION OF THE EDMONDS CITY
COUNCIL IMPLEMENTING A CODE OF CONDUCT FOR THE MAYOR,
COUNCILMEMBERS, AND ALL MEMBERS OF CITY BOARDS, COMMISSIONS,
COMMITTEES, OR WORK GROUPS. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
7. DISCUSSION AND POTENTIAL ACTION ON RESOLUTION ADOPTING POLICY
REGARDING COUNCILMEMBER PARTICIPATION BY SPEAKER PHONE OR OTHER
TECHNOLOGY
Council President Petso relayed the Public Safety & Personnel Committee has been discussing this issue.
An issue was raised whether a Councilmember may phone in and participate in only a portion of a
meeting. She referred to a language added by the Committee, Item 3 highlighted on Attachment 3,
“Councilmember must call in for the full meeting including audience comment, and.” She felt it was
acceptable for a Councilmember to phone in as long as they participated in all relevant portions of a
meeting.
Councilmember Buckshnis explained she has participated in Council meetings by phone, but found it
very difficult due to the 5 second delay in the video. If the consensus was to include Item 3, she preferred
not to allow Councilmembers to participate by speaker phone or other technology.
Council President Petso preferred to allow Councilmembers to participate by speaker phone and
supported deleting Item 3. The resolution states the Councilmember must participate in the relevant
portion of the Council meeting. For example, if audience comments pertained to the item and the
Councilmember did not hear them, it would not be appropriate for the Councilmember to participate.

Instead of requiring a Councilmember to call in for the full meeting, Councilmember Bloom suggested if
there was an audience comment related to the item, the Council President be responsible for conveying
the comment to the Councilmember calling in.
Councilmember Johnson was opposed to allowing Councilmembers to participate via speaker phone and
having their vote counted. She pointed out Council President Petso, Councilmember Bloom and she have
perfect attendance. She recognized there would be times when a Councilmember was unable to attend a
meeting but felt it was a Councilmember’s job to attend and participate in Council meetings.
Councilmember Bloom observed without Councilmember Johnson’s vote, the resolution would not pass.
Councilmember Buckshnis spoke in favor of a Councilmember participating via speaker phone; it was up
to a Councilmember to decide whether they wanted to call in while on vacation, etc. She preferred to
delay approval of the resolution until all Councilmembers were present.
Mayor Earling commented he has served on many boards and commissions and all have allowed
members to participate via phone.
8. MAYOR'S COMMENTS
Mayor Earling reported the staff holiday breakfast was attended by 85-90 staff members and
Councilmember Peterson. He also reported on Fire District 1’s art auction; the proceeds benefit the
Edmonds 9/11 memorial. Donations are being accepted for the memorial.
9. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Councilmember Bloom reminded of the Port’s Holiday Lights at the Docks through early January. The re
are activities at the Edmonds marina tonight; the Seattle Christmas Ship departed from the marina at 7:00
p.m.
Councilmember Buckshnis reported the Senior Center is a cold weather shelter. She relayed that Betty
Mueller passed away and that former Finance Director Shawn Hunstock got married.
Councilmember Johnson announced the Historic Preservation Committee’s dedication of the Larsen
building, west of the library parking lot entrance on Main, on Friday at 10:00 a.m.
Council President Petso offered condolences to Betty Mueller’s family. She explained Ms. Mueller was
very active in the City including the bond measure to construct the Public Safety building and the Police
and Fire Foundations.

City Staff Present:
none
The Meeting was called to order at 6:00 p.m. Councilmember Peterson was selected as chair.
A. Discussion and potential action on resolution adopting policy regarding Councilmember
participation by speakerphone or other technology
Councilmembers Peterson and Fraley-Monillas agreed that this item should go back to full Council for
approval with some discussion on a few items:
1)That no teleconference can be used for any quasi-judicial proceedings.
2)If calling in for a public hearing, that the Councilmember must call in for the entire public
hearing, including any public comment.
3)Council can determine if a Councilmember must call in for the entire meeting, but both
Councilmembers Peterson and Fraley-Monillas felt that should not be the case.
4)Both Councilmembers Peterson and Fraley-Monillas felt it was ultimately the Council
president's responsibility to approve any requests from Councilmembers to call in, noting
there had been no excessive use, and certainly no abuse of calling in to meetings in the
past.
Councilmembers Peterson and Fraley-Monillas briefly discussed the search for a consultant for Council
training on conflict resolution. Councilmember Fraley-Monillas planned to contact state agencies for
information. Councilmember Peterson planned to write Jeff Taraday to ask a question regarding
executive session.
There was no audience comment and no one else in attendance.
Action: Send to full Council for discussion and approval.
