NEW BUSINESS Historic Preservation Commission Meeting Minutes July 11, 2024 Pagel of 3 Packet Pg. 4 Comprehensive Plan Update Urban Design Planner Navyusha Pentakota gave an overview of how historic preservation is being incorporated into the upcoming Comprehensive Plan update and asked for HPC feedback. Commissioner Deiner-Karr commented that they were looking to relax some of the policies in order to bring in more homes on the Register. There was discussion about how the rules used to be very strict, but they are starting to relax them and look at more of a holistic picture of the houses that are being considered. Ms. Pentakota asked about incentives that could be used to get more buildings on the Register. Vice Chair Spencer spoke to the importance of letting people know that they could come off the Register in the future if they needed to; this would help allay fears of people who might think they would not be able to make changes to their homes. Commissioner Deiner-Karr recommended reviewing the form they have been using since the very beginning and criteria they are using. She noted that other historical districts and societies in the area have worked through a lot of these issues and are very helpful. She agreed that they need to be upfront with people about the pros and cons of being on the Register and ask people what their concerns are. She stressed that if people want off the Register, it is simple to have the Council approve that. She referred to Snohomish as an example of a city who is successfully getting people on their historic register. The are approaching property owners, telling them the benefits (especially taxes), and they have home garden tours and other events that include these homes. There was some discussion about having a historic district. Vice Chair Spencer brought up the Donovan District around the Providence Hotel in Everett where every home is part of the district. He thinks this is something Edmonds should explore. Commissioner Deiner-Karr noted they had talked about doing this along 4, but she encouraged them to look outside the core of Edmonds because there are a lot of historic homes throughout Edmonds. Ms. Brokenshire noted that they could recognize groups of houses as historic homes even if they aren't on the Register. There was discussion around the difference between a historic district and a historic neighborhood. There was a suggestion that next year's calendar could highlight historic streets or groupings. Ms. Brokenshire wondered about having a historic preservation event. There was discussion about the need for more of a budget to be able to handle plaques for more homes on the Register. Commissioner Preston suggested they could reconsider using sponsors for the calendar to make them self-sufficient. Ms. Brokenshire suggested applying for a grant. Commissioner Deiner-Karr noted that the City could consider hosting the annual state historic preservation meeting one year. There were recommendations to write articles or opinion pieces for My Edmonds News. Commissioner Deiner-Karr reported that the Edmonds in Bloom people put out a call for historic buildings who want to show their gardens for the tour next year. 2. Grant Update Ms. Brokenshire reported that they received the $15,000 grant from the State which will go towards assessing homes in the Firdale Village and surrounding area as a follow up from the 2011 study. She recapped the application process and discussed next steps. There was some interest in looking at the Sherwood neighborhood. Commissioner Deiner-Karr asked about using the students at UW again. Plaque Presentations Historic Preservation Commission Meeting Minutes July 11, 2024 Page 2 of 3 Packet Pg. 5 Ms. Brokenshire is working with the Mayor's office on setting up the plaque presentations. The Commission can start getting in touch with homeowners to set up times, and she will work on press releases. 4. Donovan Homes Vice Chair Spencer shared more information about the Donovan Homes District in Everett and recommended looking into doing something similar in Edmonds. 5. Commissioner Deiner-Karr noted that Snohomish County Historical Preservation has given a grant to Heritage in Lynnwood for digitizing and sharing historical information. 1. Calendar Discussion - Commissioner Deiner-Karr said she put a bunch of items onto the FTP site. Commissioner Kelly is working on getting all the information together to give everyone their assignment. COMMISSION CHAIR COMMENTS Vice Chair Spencer commented on eyesight challenges he is having. He hopes to get as many homes on the Register as possible while he is still able to see. COMMISSIONER COMMENTS Commissioner Preston suggested creating some marketing flyers to interest people in getting on the Register. Ms. Brokenshire suggested including a QR code link straight to the FAQ on that. Councilmember Dotsch suggested having a table at the farmer's market. Commissioner Kelly said she could put some flyers on the museum's table. Ms. Brokenshire gave an update on a property in process right now on A Avenue South and also the weir Commissioner Deiner-Karr apologized for not being in the meeting in person due to health issues. She talked to Michelle with the State about putting architectural features in the calendar. She will be sending some information they might be interested in. There was some debate about the historic dates to be included in the calendar. ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned at 6:41 p.m. Historic Preservation Commission Meeting Minutes July 11, 2024 Page 3 of 3 Packet Pg. 6 Historic Preservation Commission Agenda Item Meeting Date: 08/8/2024 Updating the Preservation Guide Handout and potentially the Walking Tour Handout Staff Lead: Amber Brokenshire Department: Planning & Development Prepared By: Amber Brokenshire Background/History In 2006/2007, the Historic Preservation Commission received a grant to print 5000 Preservation Guide brochures. The Walking Tour Brochure was developed in 2007. Staff Recommendation N/A Narrative Is there interest in amending/editing these and having them reprinted with updated information. We can include FAQ list on the Preservation Guide. The Walking Tour locations can be updated as well. If there is interest, I can prepare a grant proposal for the Hubbard Family Foundation Grant.

Zoning and other codes provide only limited protection since these typically deal with general form, height, and bulk issues — but not the special architectural styles, features and materials that many older structures provide. Registering your historic building helps preserve the historic context, and encouraging others to do the same will help assure that the "small town" feel of Edmonds will continue to be available for all to enjoy. Lill . tm,4111 111 ► istering Special Property Tax Valuation In 1985, the Washington State Legislature passed a law that allowed a local option of "special valuation" for certain historic properties within the state. Special valuation has been available to properties on the Edmonds Register of Historic Places since January, 2002. Under special valuation, qualified rehabilitation costs are deducted from the assessed value of the property for 10 years. This means that you may qualify for a financial break after the restoration of your property. Eligibility To qualify for special property tax valuation, the property must meet the following criteria: • It must be listed on the Edmonds Register of Historic Places, or the National Register • It must undergo substantial rehabilitation at an expenditure of at least 25% of the assessed value of the structure • The work must have been conducted within 2 years prior to application • The rehabilitation work must comply with the Washington State Advisory Council's Standards for Rehabilitation and Maintenance Above:The Skaggs Safeway Store appears on the corner of 5th and Main in this c.1926 photo, with the 1910 Carnegie Library to the left). Both buildings are successful examples of the "adaptive reuse" of historical buildings for modern enterprises. Left Top: A view up Main Street, circa 1938. Left Bottom:TheAuditorium of the Edmonds High School was renovated in 2006 as the Edmonds Center for the Arts. Built in 1939 with assistance from the Public Works Administration (PWA), it is one of the few examples of the Art Deco Style in Edmonds. Unfortunately, the adjacent 1909 school building was not saved. Commitment Property owners who use special tax valuation must sign an agreement with the Edmonds Historic Preservation Commission that guarantees they will meet the following standards for ten years: • The property must be maintained in good condition • Further improvements or changes to the property must be approved by the Edmonds Historic Preservation Commission. The Commission is committed to helping all property owners achieve their goals while meeting preservation standards Nonconforming Building Restoration/Special Restoration Code/Historic Reconstruction Code Special building codes may be used in the remodeling or alteration of historic buildings. In addition, there is more flexibility granted to buildings on the Edmonds Register of Historic Places when portions of the building don't conform to existing zoning height and bulk standards. The Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) normally requires that buildings that do not meet current zoning standards (such as height, setbacks, etc.) cannot be reconstructed if they are damaged or destroyed by more than 50% of their replacement value -- they have to meet current codes. However, buildings listed on the Edmonds Register of Historic Places are exempt from this requirement -- they can be rebuilt even if they do not meet current zoning bulk requirements (ECDC 17.40.020). Development Flexibility In the Downtown Business Area, expansion or remodeling of buildings listed on the Edmonds Register of Historic Places can benefit from special exceptions to some of the downtown zoning regulations. For example, historic buildings can be exempted from building step -back or open space requirements, and there is no parking required for any uses located in an historic building.

Only 271 of these libraries remain intact and Edmonds is fortunate that it now houses the Edmonds -South Snohomish County Historical Society and Museum. It is on the National Register of Historic Places and the Washington Heritage Register. 1 rr lut Built by Arthur Mowatt in 1891, an owner of a local shingle mill, this house sits on one of the original k on Edmonds Street platted by one of Edmonds' founders, George Bracket.
