Pagel of 3
Packet Pg. 4
Ms. Brokenshire reviewed the application for designation of the house located at 428 3rd Avenue North as
eligible for inclusion on the Edmonds Register of Historic Places. She discussed effects of listing on the
Register, designation criteria, historical integrity, designation categories, and historic association (style of
Merritt Homes/Dutch Colonial). Staff recommended approval of the home for the Edmonds Register of Historic
Places. There was some debate about the dormer change but general support for the home's inclusion on the
Register.
Brad Holden spoke in support of the application.
428 3rd Avenue North was unanimously recommended for approval to the Register of Historic Sites.
NEW BUSINESS
HPC Chair and Vice Chair Nominations
There was agreement to make future nominations for Chair and Vice Chair in January.
The Commission unanimously approved Chair Vogel and Vice Chair Spencer continuing in their roles.
2. HPC Member Update
New members were introduced above under Roll Call.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS/ACTION ITEMS
• Commissioner Raetzloff indicated he would be interested in resigning when his term was up but was
unclear when that was. Ms. Brokenshire explained that the Council reduced the number of
commissioners to seven so when a member's time is up, and they would like to resign, the Commission
would just go to seven members.
• There was some discussion about the HPC handbook and protocol for emailing without creating a public
meeting.
• Commissioner Deiner-Karr gave an update about information she had provided on the FTP site.
• The group discussed proceeding with work on the calendar as if there is a budget for it with hopes that
they will receive the State Historic Preservation Grant to be used for calendars and plaques. There was
some discussion about sponsorships for the calendar in the event that the grant money doesn't come
through. There was agreement to proceed as if they will have the money, but if needed they could hold
onto the calendar for publication in 2026.
• Plaques are ready for presentation but waiting for an official ceremony. There are enough plaques for
all the houses that are currently on the Register without plaques right now and still some left over for
new houses. Ms. Brokenshire will send out the list of houses that don't have plaques again. Chair Vogel
will head up planning for the press release and the plaque ceremony.
• Ms. Brokenshire will be gone in May, so it is likely that the May meeting will be cancelled.

Chair Vogel stated he is very happy to have a full commission. Thanks to Ms. Brokenshire for finishing the
handbook and for the fine presentation.
COMMISSIONER COMMENTS
• Commissioner Preston welcomed new members. He again suggested that all board members should
have an application packet to be able to give prospective new applicants for the Register. Vice Chair
Spencer said he has extras if anyone needs them. Digital application forms are also available for
download on the City of Edmonds Historic Preservation Commission site. Commissioner Preston
requested that all commissioners email him names of potential donors/sponsors for the calendar. He
also noted that the potential 90-day wait for demolition on homes on the Register needs to be clearly
disclosed to applicants. Ms. Brokenshire reviewed that process.
• Councilmember Dotsch welcomed the new members.
• Commissioner Trost was happy to be part of the Commission and is looking forward to working with
the group.
• Commissioner Brown was also happy to be part of the Commission and brought up a building where
the owner has concerns about being on the Register. There was discussion about the importance of
educating people about the process.
• Ms. Brokenshire invited commissioners to email her any edits to the handbook by May 9.
• Vice Chair Spencer welcomed new members and wished Ms. Brokenshire a wonderful vacation.
