MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Mayor Haakenson advised it would be added to the agenda as Item 9B. 2. CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS Councilmember Wambolt requested Item F be removed from the Consent Agenda. COUNCILMEMBER WAMBOLT MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PLUNKETT, TO APPROVE THE REMAINDER OF THE CONSENT AGENDA. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. The agenda items approved are as follows: A. ROLL CALL B.

AUTHORIZATION FOR MAYOR TO SIGN PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACTS FOR BUILDING CODE PLAN REVIEW WITH BECK & ASSOCIATES, AEGIS ENGINEERING AND LANI O'CONNOR, CONSULTING ENGINEER. H. RESOLUTION NO. 1204 ADOPTING THE STRATEGIC ACTION PLAN FROM THE LAKE BALLINGER/MCALEER CREEK WATERSHED FORUM. ITEM F: REPORT OF BIDS OPENED ON AUGUST 5, 2009 FOR THE 2009 ASPHALT OVERLAY PROJECT AND AWARD OF CONTRACT TO CEMEX CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS PACIFIC LLC ($798,689.77). Councilmember Wambolt referred to the 5th & Dayton Street crosswalk rehabilitation, recalling that it was totally redone 3-4 years ago at the same time as 5th & Main. He observed the 5th & Dayton crosswalk had deteriorated due to the bus traffic that is not present at 5th & Main and asked whether this rehabilitation would result in a longer lifespan. City Engineer Rob English responded in the original replacement, a 4-inch concrete section was placed over the existing underlying concrete slab. In this project both the 4-inch section as well as the existing slab would be removed and replaced to provide a stronger base and more durability. Councilmember Wambolt asked whether Cemex Construction Materials Pacific LLC was the original contractor. Mr. English was uncertain; Mayor Haakenson did not believe they were the original contractor. Councilmember Wambolt observed the bids for that work were considerably higher than the engineer’s estimate. Mr. English agreed the engineer’s estimate for all the concrete work were low which was more pronounced in this project due to the amount of concrete. He noted the bids for the curb ramps were also higher than the engineer’s estimate for the same reason. COUNCILMEMBER WAMBOLT MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT WILSON, FOR APPROVAL OF ITEM F. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Mayor Haakenson introduced Interim Finance Director Lorenzo Hines. 3. PUBLIC HEARING ON INTERIM ZONING ORDINANCE NO. 3746 AMENDING THE PROVISIONS OF ECDC 20.12.090(B), AMENDING THE PROVISIONS OF ECDC 20.11.050, FORWARDING FOR REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY’S PLANNING BOARD A NEW PARKING STANDARD FOR THE HIGHWAY 99 CORRIDOR, PROVIDING FOR A SUNSET CLAUSE, AND FIXING A TIME WHEN THE SAME SHALL BECOME EFFECTIVE. Planning Manager Rob Chave explained the Council’s previous adoption of this Interim Zoning Ordinance required a public hearing. The Planning Board is reviewing the matter and will provide a recommendation to the Council. Mayor Haakenson opened the public participation portion of the public hearing. There were no members of the public present who wished to provide testimony. 4. PUBLIC HEARING ON ECC 7.200 (ILLEGAL DISCHARGES TO STORMWATER SYSTEM AND WATER COURSES). Stormwater Engineer Program Manager Jerry Shuster provided several reasons for adopting Edmonds City Code Chapter 7.2000: the Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit requires an Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE) ordinance for the City’s municipal separate storm sewer system Packet Page 5 of 487 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes August 17, 2009 Page 3 (MS4); the existing Code, adopted in 2003 needs to be updated to align with the Permit issued in 2007; and the storm drainage system is directly connected to creeks, Puget Sound, and Lake Ballinger and no treatment occurs prior to discharge to those surface water bodies. He provided an illustration of stormwater runoff that discharges into the stormwater system versus sanitary sewers that enter the treatment plant before entering Puget Sound. He explained the Permit requires, 1) development and implementation of an IDDE ordinance, 2) implementation of an on-going IDDE program to identify, investigate, terminate, clean-up illicit discharges and spills, including mapping of our MS4, and 3) informing public employees, businesses, and the general public of the hazards associated with illegal discharges and improper disposal. The development of an ongoing IDDE program includes mapping all outfalls to the municipal storm system, developing procedures for on-going, proactive IDDE program evaluation and assessment that includes illicit connections, and providing appropriate training for municipal field staff on identification and reporting of illicit discharges into MS4s. The IDDE ordinance will address prohibited discharges and connections, allowable discharges and conditional discharges. The requirements in the ordinance will also be integrated with the Plumbing Code and Health Code. Mr. Schuster described an illicit discharge as any discharge to the municipal separate storm sewer that is not composed entirely of stormwater with the exception of allowable discharges, conditional discharges and discharges pursuant to another discharge permit approved by the State. He provided the Phase II Permit definition of an illicit connection: any man-made conveyance that is connected to a MS4 without a permit, excluding roof drains and other similar type connections. Examples include sanitary sewer connections, floor drains, channels, pipelines, conduits, inlets, or outlets connected directly to the MS4. He provided the following examples: Allowable Discharges • Footing drains • Crawl space pumps • Air conditioning condensate • Springs • Flow from emergency fire fighting activities. Conditional Discharges • Public water supply (dechlorinated) • Swimming pool (dechlorinated) • Wash water (sweep first, no detergent) He referred to a summary of the code changes, pointing out most of the changes were in terminology to align the current code with terminology in the permit. The Department of Ecology also recommends prohibiting illicit discharges to the storm system as well as groundwater. He posed the following questions to illustrate activities that are/are not illicit discharges: • Is water from a roof drain illicit discharge? Not illicit. • Is water from power-washing driveways an illicit discharge? Conditional, illicit if washing motor oil, okay if washing natural materials. • Is water from a car wash an illicit discharge? Illicit, cannot allow soap and dirt to enter the storm system. Mr. Shuster advised a car wash kit was available free of charge from the City for charity car washes. He provided examples of common sources of illicit discharge: Packet Page 6 of 487 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes August 17, 2009 Page 4 • Illegal dumping practices (95%) • Broken sanitary sewer line (81%) • Cross-connections (71%) • Connection of floor drains to storm sewer (62%) • Sanitary sewer overflows (52%) • Failing septic systems (33%) • Improper RV waste disposal (33%) • Pump station failure (14%) Mayor Haakenson opened the public participation portion of the public hearing. Rich Senderoff, Edmonds, expressed support for the Council’s adoption of the ordinance to update the City’s Code regarding illegal discharges to the stormwater system and water courses. As a waterfront community, he recommended the City not wait for federal and state mandates to take the necessary steps to protect Puget Sound and the watershed from illicit discharges. In addition to clarifying definitions and options regarding enforcement of illegal discharges into the stormwater system, he recommended the City take an active role regarding education and raising awareness about urban runoff and impacts on the watershed and Puget Sound. He commented many members of the community believe all water entering the stormwater system is treated. He commended the Edmonds Backyard Wildlife Association for organizing volunteers to do stormwater stenciling to foster awareness regarding runoff. He suggested Council pass a resolution concurrent with this ordinance recommending residents and business owners voluntarily take steps to minimize urban runoff. He provided a list of ways to reduce runoff such as minimizing lawn watering, installing drip or soaker hose irrigation, replacing turf with drought-tolerant shrubs or groundcover, creating a rain garden, using only organic based fertilizers and minimizing commercial based herbicides, and planting native trees and shrubs. Dave Page, Edmonds, commented that 2,000 drains enter Lake Ballinger. He applauded the efforts of the Edmonds Backyard Wildlife Association and other organizations and cited the importance of continued vigilance regarding stormwater runoff. Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, referred to Section 7.20.120, Water Body Protection, that suggests property through which water passes not pollute, contaminate, induce new vegetation or retard the water flow. He questioned whether the ordinance provided the City the ability to address streams that had been manicured/altered by property owners. If the ordinance did not, he recommends the City determine how existing situations would be addressed. He questioned whether roof drains must enter the stormwater system or could drain onto the ground. He also asked if it was illegal for a person to wash their car on the grass due to the potential for oil to enter the groundwater. Hearing no further public comment, Mayor Haakenson closed the public hearing. With regard to Dr. Senderoff’s comments about public education, Mr. Shuster advised Edmonds was a member of a group of 45 communities in the Puget Sound region working with the DOE and EPA on a very large public education program, Puget Sound Starts Here, that will begin this fall. COUNCIL PRESIDENT WILSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WAMBOLT, TO ADOPT ORDINANCE NO. 3751 UPDATING EDMONDS CITY CODE 7.200 (ILLEGAL DISCHARGES TO STORMWATER SYSTEM AND WATERCOURSES). Council President Wilson commended Mr. Shuster for his efforts to bring the City into compliance with federal and state mandates. Packet Page 7 of 487 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes August 17, 2009 Page 5 Councilmember Bernheim also commended Mr. Shuster. He referred to the environmental agenda and the need to balance education and legislation. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 5. CLOSED RECORD REVIEW OF THE PLANNING BOARD'S RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE THE REZONE OF THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 7631 212TH STREET SW FROM RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY (RM-2.4) TO NEIGHBORHOOD BUSINESS (BN). THE APPLICANT IS OASIS, INC. Mayor Haakenson invited Councilmembers to make any disclosures under the Appearance of Fairness Doctrine. Councilmember Orvis advised six years ago he lived in Rustic Manor Condominiums which is approximately one lot away from this site. He advised that would not affect his ability to make a fair and impartial decision. Councilmember Plunkett disclosed in 2005 he accepted a $100 contribution from one of the parties of record, Clay Enterprises. As he did not feel he met the test of the appearance of fairness, he recused himself from the closed record review. Councilmember Plunkett left the dais and the Council Chambers. Mayor Haakenson asked whether any of the parties of record, Don Miller, Oasis, Inc., or Ken Clay, had any challenges to Councilmember Orvis’ participation. There were no objections voiced. Mike Clugston, Planner displayed an aerial photograph of the subject parcels, 6731 212th Street Southwest, just west of the intersection of 76th Avenue & 212th. He explained the record consists of Exhibit 1, minutes of the July 22, 2009 Planning Board public hearing; Exhibit 2, the staff report, and Exhibit 3, the list of parties of record. He explained there are currently four buildings, three rectangular and one round building, on the site that have existed since the 1960s. There is an existing conditional use permit (CUP) for the four buildings currently used as medical offices. The site is currently zoned RM- 2.4. The round building on the site is currently vacant. The applicant has applied to rezone the subject parcel from RM-2.4 to Neighborhood Business (BN) in order to use the round building as a retail pharmacy. Retail is not an allowed used in the RM zone. Should the rezone be approved, the applicant would likely install a drive-through window which requires a separate CUP. The Planning Board unanimously recommended the Council approve the rezone request, citing its consistency with the Comprehensive Plan land use designation for the parcel and because it met the six rezone criteria in the Zoning Code. Applicant Don Miller, GWC Land Development Consulting, Mukilteo, representing the applicant, Oasis, Inc., commented staff’s analysis was very complete. He explained the proposed rezone met the Zoning Code, implements the Comprehensive Plan and fulfills the applicant’s intent to allow operation of a retail pharmacy on the site. The applicant will submit a separate application for the drive-through window if the rezone is approved. Mayor Haakenson invited the parties of record to provide comment. None of the parties of record wished to address the Council. COUNCILMEMBER ORVIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WAMBOLT, TO DIRECT THE CITY ATTORNEY TO PREPARE AN ORDINANCE APPROVING THE CHANGE IN ZONING, AS RECOMMENDED BY THE PLANNING BOARD. Packet Page 8 of 487 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes August 17, 2009 Page 6 Councilmember Orvis commented the rezone would allow commercial uses on what was essentially a commercial site. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. (Councilmember Plunkett did not participate in the vote.) Councilmember Plunkett returned to the dais. 6. UPDATE ON THE SOUTH COUNTY SENIOR CENTER. David McNayr, South County Senior Center Executive Director, explained the Senior Center was a regional multi-purpose center providing programs and services for the senior population of South Snohomish County. Programs and services are grouped in three major activity categories: 1) health and wellness, 2) social services and community outreach, and 3) education, recreation and social activity programs. The current membership at the center totals approximately 1300 individuals and over 3,000 members and guests take part in activities at the center. The Center’s mission statement is to advocate for the senior citizens in the community and provide a variety of programs and services to help fulfill social service, recreational, educational, and health and wellness needs of the senior community, with a view toward broadening and enhancing the quality of their lives and stimulating creative imaginations. The Center is celebrating its 41st year of service to the community. The Center is a member of the Washington State Association of Senior Centers. It served as a national model for formulating the requirements for certification as a multi-purpose senior center. The SCSC serves the needs of the elder population of the community by providing extensive support for a very diverse target population that faces a multitude of issues including poor health, low and fixed incomes, lack of employment training and opportunities, inadequate housing options and lack of personal and family support. The SCSC functions as an access point for all community-aging services resources while providing support and services in a warm, welcoming and accepting environment. The SCSC’s overriding goal is to maximize the independence of senior citizens, reduce or eliminate the need for institutional care, while enhancing the quality of life. He commented on losses people experience as they age, commenting the need for programs and services increases each year because seniors are the fastest growing segment of the population. This trend will continue as people are living longer and healthier lives and because the baby boomer population has achieved senior status. Mr. McNayr provided an overview of the three program areas: • Health and Wellness Programs – includes fitness and exercise classes, health screening, surplus food clinic as a member of Food Lifeline, serve over 15,000 hot lunches in their dining room annually, loaned health assistance equipment, SHIBA advisers who provide free health insurance information to seniors, and an annual health fair • Social Services and Community Outreach – caregivers resource center, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, diabetes and sigh impaired support groups; senior employment service; information and referral services, Sound Thrift Store that offers low priced goods to seniors and the community and provides revenue for the Center’s operations; Country Boutique consignment store that provides extra income for senior crafters; AARP tax assistance, transportation assistance for low income seniors, community breakfasts; themed dinners and summer barbeques. • Education, Recreation and Social Programs – offer classes on a variety of subjects; locally planned trips using the Center’s bus or van or Community Transit, Sounder and Washington State ferry; and guest lecturers Packet Page 9 of 487 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes August 17, 2009 Page 7 Mr. McNayr explained future programs will be focused on health and well-being as the aging population continues to increase and live longer. One of the strategies for growth includes seeking younger seniors who have skills and abilities to share in classroom situations. He provided several examples of seniors who have been assisted by services provided by the Center including providing a meaningful place for seniors to meet new friends, health screening, nutritious lunches, use of the Center’s employment services to hire caregivers, volunteer opportunities that make seniors feel useful and needed, activities to keep seniors active and engaged, and referral to the Food Surplus Program. He provided a brief video illustrating seniors involved in activities at the Center. He emphasized the importance of the sustainability of the human spirit, especially for seniors. Mr. McNayr concluded the Center was once again thriving in a relaxed and fun atmosphere. They met their goal of raising $25,000 through the Young at Heart Campaign and civic and corporate partners have returned in record numbers. By November the Center will have a newly renovated front building entrance. Also in November, members will have the opportunity to elect seven new individuals to the Board of Directors. He commented the $60,000 in funding provided by the Center to the Center this year and in 2010 is much more than a grant. It is an investment in the lives of numerous seniors at the SCSC. He thanked the Mayor and Council for partnering with the SCSC. Councilmember Plunkett thanked Mr. McNayr, Board President Rose Cantwell and Board Members for taking on a large challenge and for creating a great deal of enthusiasm. Mr. McNayr invited the Council and the public to the Sound Singers’ beachfront luau on August 20. 7. PRESENTATION ON STEVENS HOSPITAL STRATEGIC PLAN. Sarah Zabel, Vice President/Chief Planning Officer, Stevens Hospital, introduced Hospital Commissioners Bob Meador and Chuck Day, consultant Howard Thomas, and Rick Canning, Chief Financial Officer/Chief Operating Officer. She provided an overview of Stevens Hospital: • Public Hospital District, governed by a Board of Commissioners, and have the ability to levy taxes to raise funds for the District • Third largest public hospital district in Washington • In 2009 Stevens Hospital will receive approximately $4.9 million in tax dollars from the community In 2005, the Board of Commissioners developed the first Strategic Plan which included a new mission and vision statement for the District. The mission was to improve the health and well-being of the community through local, high-quality and compassionate health care services. The vision was to be a trusted and financially strong provider of high quality health care services who collaborates with others to creatively respond to the health needs of a diverse community. The Commission also developed a series of goals which Stevens Hospital has largely been successful in meeting. Ms. Zabel identified several recent accomplishments: • Increase in the employee satisfaction ranking from the 4th percentile in 2006 to the 73rd percentile in 2008. Packet Page 10 of 487 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes August 17, 2009 Page 8 • Increase in operating income and net income, with the first positive bottom line in operations in 2008 since 1997 • In 2009 received a five star rating for the quality of joint replacement, treatment of stroke and treatment of pneumonia from HealthGrades • In 2008 became the first hospital in Washington state to receive the American Heart Association’s Coronary Artery Disease Gold Performance Achievement Award • The Mother/Baby Unit is in the top one percent in patient satisfaction of 1,000 hospitals across the country as rated by 640,000 patients in a survey conducted late 2008 by Press Ganey • CEP America awarded ED contract effective 7/1/09 • Rapid Medical Evaluation implemented in the Emergency Department • Center for Wound Healing and Hyperbarics • Digital Mammography • Opened 16 new Progressive Care Unit Beds A timeline was provided for the Strategic Planning process that began with a stakeholder input meeting and SWOT analysis in May, stakeholder input meeting initial strategy discussion in June, Board/Executive Team Draft Plan development in June, community review and input in July and August with Plan finalization and adoption anticipated in September. She advised the community review includes presentations to area City Councils as well as Town Hall meetings. Findings of the SWOT analysis included: • Strengths – recent accomplishments moving in the right direction, location, commitment to community. • Weaknesses – image issues and weak brand, financial challenges • Opportunities – capture market share in community • Threats – increasing competition from well capitalized competitors, unknown challenges of healthcare reform, economy Key strategy priorities include the following: • Community o Stimulate a sense of community partnership and ownership of Stevens Hospital • Service o Strengthen brand so that it is consistently recognized and respected in the community o Build a culture where providing patients and their families/support groups an excellent patient experience is an expectation at all levels of the organization o Improve cultural competence • People o Recruit and retain high quality physicians o Foster a culture of employee empowerment, involvement, and accountability • Quality and Safety o Provide excellence in quality and safety in all patient care environments and throughout the continuum of care o Meet Electronic Health Record mandates • Finance o Continue to improve financial performance o Meet our ongoing need for capital for facilities and technology o Monitor and adapt to reimbursement reforms • Growth o Perform a service line assessment to align community needs, quality needs, and growth opportunities Packet Page 11 of 487 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes August 17, 2009 Page 9 o Grow business volumes with targeted affiliations in numerous service areas Ms. Zabel advised a full list of the priorities as well as additional information was available on the StevensHospital.org website. She relayed a potential affiliation strategy or tactic appears in each of the strategic pillars. The Board of Commissioners is working with a consultant on what an affiliation could mean. Next steps include presentations and Town Hall meetings to gather input with Plan finalization and adoption anticipated for September. Councilmember Wambolt pointed out the Town Hall meeting held in Edmonds conflicted with the candidate forum and suggested scheduling another Town Hall meeting in Edmonds. She agreed that could be considered. Council President Wilson thanked the Board for including Councilmember Wambolt and him in the Strategic Planning process as well as engaging the public. Recalling that community partnership was a low priority in the key strategic priorities, he emphasized the importance of community partnership. Council President Wilson asked Ms. Zabel to address the potential for a levy. Ms. Zabel stated the Commission had considered a levy or bond. Original considerations were for a large levy ($400 million) to construct a new hospital; however, the shift in the economy required consideration of a lower amount ($50 million) that would allow Stevens Hospital to meet the community’s need for facilities by building a new Emergency Department and relocating other departments. She assured consideration of a bond/levy was in the conceptual stages. Council President Wilson suggested the Board consider Children’s Hospital as another potential partner. He relayed the Council’s appreciation to Stevens Hospital for making this presentation, recognizing Stevens Hospital is the City’s largest employer and the most important healthcare entity in South Snohomish County. 8. AUDIENCE COMMENTS Rich Senderoff, Edmonds, referred to Agenda Item 9A, suspending the application of the Community Development Code intended to protect critical area tracts. He was concerned with issuing a zoning moratorium to any pending subdivision, short subdivision or PRD parcel prior to revising or replacing the ordinance intended to protect critical areas. He questioned if development in critical area tracts previously protected would be allowed while an alternate recommendation or workplan was considered by the Planning Board. He questioned why the Council was considering an interim ordinance now when the ruling resulting from a reversal of a Superior Court decision on appeal was made over a year ago; why the Planning Board could not address the issues in the existing ordinance while maintaining the existing protections; and how critical areas, including native vegetation and wetlands in RS-12 and larger zones would be protected in the interim. He urged the Council to consider the importance of trees and wetlands to easing the burden of stormwater drainage system and protecting Puget Sound. Dave Page, Edmonds, referred to an inference made during a candidate forum that he was involved in a real estate transaction with Councilmember Wambolt and Al Dykes, assuring he had no real estate dealings with Councilmember Wambolt, Mr. Dykes or the former Safeway site. George Murray, Edmonds, referred to Councilmember Wambolt’s quote in the newspaper regarding candidates accepting donations from the Alliance for Citizens of Edmonds supporters. Mayor Haakenson cautioned the public not to speak regarding their support or opposition to a candidate. Packet Page 12 of 487 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes August 17, 2009 Page 10 Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, referred to Agenda Item 3, a public hearing on an interim zoning ordinance to extend design review, questioning why the interim zoning ordinance also included a review of parking standards on Highway 99. He referred to federal funds provided to the City for overlays, expressing concern that the engineer’s estimate was low for all projects, a total of a $200,000 difference between the engineer’s estimate and the bids. Mr. Page concluded his comments, recalling several speakers have voiced support for transparency and citizen oversight. After reviewing the budget every year and always receiving satisfactory answers to his questions from staff and the Mayor, he assured the City was very transparent. 9A. REVIEW AND POTENTIAL ACTION ON AN INTERIM ZONING ORDINANCE SUSPENDING THE APPLICATION OF CHAPTER 23.90.040(C), RETENTION OF VEGETATION ON SUBDIVIDABLE, UNDEVELOPED PARCELS. Planning Manager Rob Chave explained a recent court case in King County, Citizens Alliance for Property Rights v. Sims, invalidated King County’s set-asides in rural areas. The City has a similar provision in the critical area regulations, a 30% native vegetation requirement for subdivisions in the RS- 12 and RS-20 zones. The purpose of the interim ordinance will be to suspend enforcement of that portion of the critical area regulations while studying alternatives to achieve the goal of retaining vegetation on larger lots. He summarized the 30% requirement in the City’s code was not tied to an impact or a case- by-case decision-making process and thus was not defensible based on the recent King County case. The interim ordinance is narrowly tailored and does not impact streams, wetlands or any other critical area provision; it is only the native vegetation provision in the RS-12 and RS-20 zones. City Attorney Bio Park assured this was not a moratorium on enforcement of the critical area ordinance; it was only on the specific provision related to a 30% native vegetation requirement for subdivisions in the RS-12 and RS-20 zones. Because the language was not defensible based on the recent King County decision, best practice would be to send the provision to the Planning Board to draft more appropriate provisions. Mr. Chave advised the timing was important because subdivision applications are beginning to surface for the RS-12 and RS-20 zones. Councilmember Plunkett asked whether the interim ordinance could result in the problems Dr. Senderoff suggested. Mr. Chave assured it did not include critical areas for streams or wetlands. Councilmember Orvis pointed out Section 23.40.270 referenced in the proposed interim zoning ordinance was the entire critical area ordinance. Mr. Park requested an opportunity to investigate the correct code section proposed to be repealed. 9B. FURTHER DISCUSSION AND REQUEST FOR A LEGAL OPINION FROM THE CITY ATTORNEY REGARDING THE ISSUANCE OF THE 523 ALDER STREET ROOF PERMIT. City Attorney Bio Park pointed out this was a Special Council meeting versus a regular Council meeting. Case law recommends City Councils refrain from taking any final action on items not advertised on the agenda of a Special Meeting, therefore, he recommended the Council not take any final action on this matter at tonight’s Special Meeting. Councilmember Bernheim displayed the plans for the building at 523 Alder that were originally submitted by the applicant and approved by the Building Department. He observed the original plans include 4:12 pitches on the roof. He displayed the revised plans submitted recently that include a roof description of 1:12. He provided an excerpt of the code provision that requires all portions of the roof Packet Page 13 of 487 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes August 17, 2009 Page 11 above 25 feet shall have a slope of no less than 4:12. He observed the roof slope on the revised plans appeared to actually be ¼:12. COUNCILMEMBER BERNHEIM MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT WILSON, TO ASK THE CITY ATTORNEY TO DELIVER AN OPINION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THE APPROVAL OF THE PERMIT IN THIS CASE IS ACCORDING TO THE CODE. AND IF IT IS DEEMED ACCORDING TO THE CODE, HAVE A BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE APPEAL PROCESS FOR PERMITS ISSUED BY THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT FOR THINGS THAT DO NOT HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING. Councilmember Bernheim provided ten reasons for approving this motion: 1. Because it is a flat roof and the code requires that all portions of the roof above 25 feet shall have a slope of 4:12 or greater. 2. This was not built according to plan. The plan that was submitted was in accordance with the regulations but the builder decided not to construct the building in that manner. 3. It is a very large home, a substantial project with a substantial impact on adjacent neighbors. Adjacent residents claim they have lost thousands in the value of their homes. It is a potential theft of public space because the City’s regulations limit the height of buildings. 4. The project was inspected by a City Inspector who did not notice that the flat roof exceeded the 25 feet. 5. Plans were submitted and reviewed by the department, not acted upon and discarded. 6. On June 23, two Councilmembers assured the builder knew the City Code well and would not construct a building that would violate the code. He found that a dangerous attitude for government to have. 7. The flat roof that has been approved has been termed as a drainage collection device and approved as an exception to the flat roof. He questioned the installation of a drainage collection device on a roof, noting a roof is intended to shed water rather than collect it. 8. Allowing flat portions of roofs above 25 feet as drainage collection devices has been interpreted in many other projects in the City. However, there is no written documentation of that interpretation. 9. In his own case, a neighbor attempted this in his backyard a couple years ago and was questioned by staff in interpreting a similar provision, a contrary interpretation to the building at 523 Alder. 10. Everybody makes mistakes. It’s better to recognize that a mistake has been made and correct it as soon as possible. Councilmember Bernheim explained he would like to have a legal opinion regarding whether approval of this flat roof over 25 feet was consistent with the Code based on any reasonable legal interpretation that is not arbitrary and capricious. If it is decided it is legal in spite of all these circumstances, in light of the Title 20 discussion regarding appeal periods and how citizens participate, he was interested in the appeal period for permits that have no public review and issued by the Building Department. He referred to the Nycrum case, noting the basic principle of that case is if the City approves something, after a certain period of time, nothing can be done. Council President Wilson commented all the issues that have been raised through this process were important in the Council’s capacity as oversight. He appreciated the staff and Mayor’s diligence in answering questions and supported having as full a conversation as possible. He commented the $30 Councilmember Bernheim paid to obtain records from the City should be reimbursed. Councilmember Bernheim responded he may ask for reimbursement of future expenses but he was comfortable at this time paying it. Packet Page 14 of 487 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes August 17, 2009 Page 12 Councilmember Plunkett commented on the numerous forthright and civil emails between Councilmember Bernheim and administration over the past 4-5 days. He commented even with differences of opinion and interpretation, staff, the Mayor and Councilmember Bernheim have communicated very productively and positively. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 9A. REVIEW AND POTENTIAL ACTION ON AN INTERIM ZONING ORDINANCE SUSPENDING THE APPLICATION OF CHAPTER 23.90.040(C), RETENTION OF VEGETATION ON SUBDIVIDABLE, UNDEVELOPED PARCELS (CONTINUED). City Attorney Bio Park commented after reviewing the materials, he determined the City Attorney’s office had forwarded Planning Manager Rob Chave an incorrect ordinance. He suggested they provide a correct ordinance to staff this week. Mayor Haakenson advised this item would be rescheduled on next week’s agenda. Assuming the ordinance was intended to repeal the 30% vegetation provision rather than the entire critical area ordinance, Councilmember Bernheim asked whether the 10% open space requirement in the BD zone was also subject to a similar challenge. Mr. Park responded the reasonable interpretation was no, but the decision in the recent court case in King County, Citizens Alliance for Property Rights v. Sims, even setbacks could be vulnerable to challenge. He was doubtful the District 1 Court of Appeals intended to include setbacks and set asides that were part of regulating development. Mr. Chave commented in discussions with City Attorney Scott Snyder, things that were more traditional such as zoning setbacks or bulk restrictions were likely to be defensible and not covered by the decision. However, the decision was written broadly and language in the City’s Code that was similar to the King County set asides were vulnerable and should be reviewed. Councilmember Bernheim suggested rather than declaring a moratorium on the enforcement of the entire 30% vegetative set aside, simply retain Section C and remove the 30% set aside. This would retain the language that as a provision of this title, the Director may require retention of a certain minimum of native vegetation. He noted in the decision on the King County case, an individual examination of the situation validated the set asides and a blanket requirement that a certain percent be retained without consideration to how it was applied invalidated the set asides. He summarized a moratorium on the entire Section C would impose a broader moratorium than was required by the King County case. Councilmember Peterson asked how King County was responding to the decision. Mr. Park offered to research King County’s response and provide that information at next week’s Council meeting. 10. MAYOR'S COMMENTS Mayor Haakenson recognized City Clerk Sandy Chase for the successful shredding event last Saturday. He also thanked Edmonds-Woodway High School for the use of their site and the City of Lynnwood for their Citizen Patrol. 11. COUNCIL COMMENTS Council President Wilson reported he has been unable to fulfill his duties on the Community Transit Board and has stepped down from that position. He invited another Councilmember to take his place on that Board and briefly described the process for being appointed to the Board. Packet Page 15 of 487 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes August 17, 2009 Page 13 Council President Wilson expressed his thanks to Chief Information Officer Carl Nelson and Senior Executive Council Assistant Jana Spellman for updating the City Council web pages. He advised there is now a City Council home page with a great deal more information and each Councilmember will have his/her own webpage. Because there is not a comprehensive policy regarding the content of the individual webpages, he cautioned against including any campaign material, links to personal blogs, etc. Council President Wilson expressed his appreciation to Councilmember Bernheim for the motion to request a legal opinion regarding approval of the permit for the building at 523 Alder. He urged Council to bring any large questions to the Council for review to ensure the Council was in agreement that research by staff, consultants and the City Attorney was an appropriate expenditure of resources. Councilmember Wambolt recalled a citizen’s question whether the City could regulate the size of overhead cable installed by cable companies. He relayed City Attorney Scott Snyder’s response that the size of cable was not within the City’s regulatory authority; it was controlled by the FCC and the State Electrical Code. Councilmember Wambolt recalled there had been a number of citizen inquiries regarding when the sidewalk at 3rd & Dayton would be repaired. He reported new curbs and sidewalks would be installed around the building at 3rd & Dayton when Dayton was repaved from Sunset to 5th Avenue at the end of next month. The paving will be paid for via a grant the City received and the curb and sidewalks will be paid for by the developer. Councilmember Bernheim reported he has proposed an ordinance that would regulate the maximum campaign contribution for Mayor and City Council races to $750. He invited the public to provide comment in support or opposition to that amount or another amount. He noted his intent was not to have Council discussion regarding this prior to the election but he was hopeful it could be considered in the next 3-4 months. With regard to green branding and developing a reputation as a green City, Councilmember Bernheim commented it was the attitude of citizens that resulted in a green city, not the ordinances the City Council passed. He referred to Planet Power News, which he receives because he pays a higher price for solar/renewable energy, where it was reported Edmonds had 519 homes that participate in the program, nearly as many as Everett. He applauded the citizens of Edmonds for disproportionately supporting planet power. He hoped to increase participation in that program in the future. Councilmember Peterson expressed his thanks to the Edmonds Chamber of Commerce for another successful Taste of Edmonds and the tremendous amount of work done by the numerous volunteers. 12.

PRESENTATION ON THE 2010 CENSUS Marcel Maddox, Partnership Specialist, Seattle Regional Census Center, explained the Seattle Regional Census Center covered northern California, Oregon, Idaho, Washington and Alaska. The Packet Page 18 of 487 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes August 25, 2009 Page 2 census includes the decennial census that occurs once every ten years as well as ongoing surveys. The 2010 census will use a short form that contains only ten questions and take approximately ten minutes to complete. One of his responsibilities is to make presentations in Snohomish County describing the importance of the census and enlist cities’ support. The tagline for this census is that it is easy, safe and important. The census is easy because there are only ten questions and takes only ten minutes to complete. The census is safe because all census employees take a lifetime confidentiality oath which prevents the sharing of any personal information. The census is important because $300 billion in federal funds are distributed each year based on census information and political representation changes after each census. For example, without a complete and accurate count, federal funds received by Edmonds may not represent the growth and change in demographics that have occurred over the past ten years. One aspect of the support the Census Bureau enlists from the City is a Complete Count Committee, a group of individuals who advocate and work in concert with the Bureau to ensure the City’s concerns are addressed and who marshal the City’s resources in support of census. He assured the resources were not necessarily monetary, most were low or no cost such as adding census messaging to websites and utility bills, posting census posters in public facilities, etc. Councilmember Plunkett commented the public could access names and other personal information for the 1920 and earlier censuses. He recalled after 70 years the information became public and associated with names. Mr. Maddox answered 72 years was deemed the lifetime confidentiality oath. He agreed the public could access census information from 72+ years ago. Councilmember Plunkett commented the ten questions were less than previous censuses. He asked how many questions were on the previous census questionnaire. Mr. Maddox answered he was unsure the exact number of questions, explaining much of the information regarding income, etc. would be captured via the American Community Survey, part of the ongoing surveys. The decennial census questionnaire will be sent to everyone; the American Community Survey which contains many more questions is sent to a smaller, random sample and the information extrapolated to cover the entire area. Councilmember Plunkett asked if the U. S. Congress directed the Census Bureau to allow extrapolation or has it been determined that each individual person must be counted. Mr. Maddox responded the Constitution mandates that every person, regardless of immigration status, criminal history, etc., be counted which has been done since 1790. Councilmember Plunkett recalled there was a great deal of undercounting because many people did not participate and consideration has been given to assuming the number of people who were not counted. Mr. Maddox explained another of his responsibilities was to work with community and faith-based organizations, schools, etc. to partner with groups and communities deemed in the past as hard to count. He advised further information was available from their data specialist who could also provide a presentation to the Council. Councilmember Plunkett concluded there had been discussion whether under-represented individuals should simply be extrapolated because they could not be counted. Councilmember Wambolt observed the census information indicated census questionnaires would be mailed to households by U.S. Mail in March 2010 and that many households would receive a replacement questionnaire in early April. Mr. Maddox explained address canvassing, people checking addresses to ensure households were correctly identified, was the first major operation. Rural addresses and/or post office boxes are also identified for in-person questionnaire delivery. If a questionnaire was mailed and a response was not received, a second questionnaire would be mailed. The public will be asked to mail their census questionnaire on or by Census Day April 1, 2010. If a questionnaire is not received, a census Packet Page 19 of 487 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes August 25, 2009 Page 3 worker will make an in-person visit in the next major operation, Non-Response Follow-Up. The next major operation will be Group Quarters in which groups of unrelated people live together such as residents of dorms, adult family homes, assisted living, military, etc. are counted. Mr. Maddox asked whether the Council wanted to form a Complete County Committee and if so, a liaison needed to be appointed. Mayor Haakenson answered City Clerk Sandy Chase would be the City’s contact person. 4. PRESENTATION ON THE AQUATICS FEASIBILITY STUDY. Parks & Recreation Director Brian McIntosh explained the Aquatics Feasibility Study was commissioned to assist the City in determining the direction of its aquatic future due to the limited life expectancy of the current Yost Pool. He thanked the advisory team of citizens and staff, the consultants and the hundreds of citizens who pooled their expertise to produce the report. Keith Comes, NAIC Architecture, advised another member of the consultant team, Doug Whitaker, Water Technology, Inc., was unable to attend tonight’s meeting. He reiterated Mr. McIntosh’s thanks to the members of the Aquatics Feasibility Study Committee. He explained the study process included evaluation of the existing facility, site evaluation, market analysis, public process, project options and recommended options. Evaluation of Existing Facility  Yost Pool completing its 38th season  Costly maintenance issues  ADA accessibility issues  Antiquated mechanical systems  Aging pool house  Limited parking Aquatic Trends  Pools that appeal to youth of all ages - indoor/outdoor family aquatic centers  Competitive swimming and diving  Wellness & therapy  Zero depth  Spray play feature  Participatory climbable water play structures  Flow channel  Activity zone  Water slides Mr. Comes reviewed site options considered in the study: Yost Pool  Beautiful natural setting  Topography and trees  Easy access from neighborhoods  Expansion potential may be limited Former Woodway High School  Adequate site area Packet Page 20 of 487 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes August 25, 2009 Page 4  Displace current outdoor courts/fields  Requires partnership with Edmonds School District  Isolated from neighborhood  Not available at this time Harbor Square  Requires partnership with Harbor Square Athletic Club  Port of Edmonds supports idea  Urban location  Adequate site area  Cost may be reduced via partnership  Indoor pool at Harbor Square and outdoor pool at Yost Park Mr. Comes commented during the public process, they learned the physical attributes of a site were not necessarily the most important criteria; there was a very strong opinion that a pool should remain at Yost Park and there was likely to be very strong opposition if the report did not recommend a pool at Yost Park. As a result most of the options considered have a pool remain at Yost Park. Ken Ballard, Ballard King Associates, described their market analysis that considered demographics, existing aquatic facilities and market opportunities. Their demographic assessment considered not only the City of Edmonds but two larger service areas beyond the boundaries of the City, to the north and south as well as to the east. He explained this was done because the size of the market area will vary depending on the type of facility and where it was located. Their assessment considered population, age, income levels, ethnicity, etc. This provides information regarding the size of the market, orientation of the facility, rates of participation, and pricing of services. Their analysis considered utilization rates of Yost Pool as well as other amenities available in Edmonds and the immediate surrounding area. They visited nearly all public, non-profit and for-profit facilities in the area including private health clubs, Dale Turner YMCA, Shoreline Pool, and Lynnwood’s plans for a larger renovated aquatic facility. Their assessment revealed there is a market for an aquatic facility. He next reviewed key findings of a random, statistically valid, telephone survey conducted by Leisure Vision of Edmonds residents during the months of January and February (324 respondents). Mr. Comes reviewed the four concepts they developed and presented at a public meeting: Concept 1 - Outdoor only pool at Yost Park  Reuse existing lap pool  Replace pool mechanical systems  New leisure pool  Replace existing pool house  Add parking  Site impacts  Project cost budget: $8.2 million  Estimated annual tax impact to average home: $35.51  Annual operation subsidy: $0-$50,000 Concept 2 - Indoor only pool at Yost Park  Demolish existing pool and pool house  New indoor lap pool Packet Page 21 of 487 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes August 25, 2009 Page 5  New indoor leisure pool  Add parking  Site impacts  Project cost budget: $21.9 million  Estimated annual tax impact to average home: $95.40  Annual operation subsidy: $200,000-$300,000 Concept 3 - Outdoor and indoor pools at Yost Park  New indoor lap pool  New therapy pool and whirlpool  New outdoor leisure pool  Add parking  Site impacts  Project cost budget: $16.7 million  Estimated annual tax impact to average home: $72.61  Annual operation subsidy: $150,000-$250,000 Concept 4 + Concept 1 - Harbor Square & Yost Park  Partnership with Harbor Square Athletic Club  New indoor lap pool  New spray deck and outdoor lap pool  Includes outdoor pool at Yost Park  Project cost budget: $17.4 million  Estimated annual tax impact to average home: $75.49  Annual operation subsidy: $25,000-$125,000 Mr. Comes explained these four options were presented at a second public meeting. As a result of the discussion, they were asked to consider the following two concepts: Concept 5 - Yost Park  Replace the existing pool house at Yost Park  Renovate existing lap pool  $5 million project cost budget  Similar cost to option 1, result is a new 1970’s pool  No impact to annual subsidy  Does not address trends or recreation uses desired in the survey  Does not address desire for indoor pool Concept 6 - Do nothing  Yost Pool would eventually close within a few years Mr. Comes relayed their recommendation for Concept 3. This facility would provide the best balance for the City, includes capital recreation facilities highly desired in the survey, outdoor recreation amenities would be available during the summer, provides a different experience than is available in other communities, adds a warm water therapy pool, and maintains the facility in Yost Park. He relayed current lap swimmers expressed a desire to maintain outdoor lap swimming at Yost Park due to the beautiful setting; this option does not allow that but would allow year-round lap swimming. Packet Page 22 of 487 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes August 25, 2009 Page 6 He displayed conceptual images of a facility in Yost Park, explaining the intent would be for the natatorium to be transparent, allowing users inside to see the view and from the outside reflect the trees to minimize its impact on the natural setting. Mr. Comes provided a secondary recommendation, Concept 1. This facility has the lowest capital costs and operating subsidy, no competing outdoor recreation facilities, but has no indoor facility. Mr. Ballard commented recreation amenities and activities contribute to a strong community identity and quality of life. He identified the direct economic benefits of the four options (expenditures in addition to entrance fees to the facility): Option 1: $200,000 - $400,000 Option 2: $900,000 - $1.8 million Option 3: $600,000 - $1 million Option 4: $330,000 - $650,000 Mr. Ballard provided financing options for the four options with regard to principal, term, interest rate, annual debt, 2009 accessed value, rate per thousand, average home value, annual impact and monthly impact. He noted the cost of a facility could be reduced via partnerships, fundraising, grants and other sources such as the formation of a Parks & Recreation Service Area (PRSA). Councilmember Wambolt referred to the Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District near Beaverton, Oregon, commenting that may be an option for the Council to consider. For example, the costs of parks and recreation and the senior center, $3.5 million, could be transferred to a PRSA. This would remove those costs from the City’s budget, create a new taxing authority, and provide a consistent funding source for the senior center and parks. Mr. Ballard cautioned Oregon’s laws with regard to establishing Park & Recreation Districts were more liberal than Washington. That option was available in Washington in a slightly different format. There is a PRSA in the Northshore area that was established to support the Northshore Senior Center. PRSA’s tend to be for a single purpose and in most instances, a PRSA is formed to broaden the tax base for a facility such as was done in Northshore. In this area, it would be difficult to expand beyond the City’s current boundaries as most of the neighboring cities have aquatic facilities and likely would not be interested in joining a PRSA. Councilmember Wambolt commented the Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District only includes Beaverton and a small unincorporated area of Washington County. Councilmember Plunkett asked why the consultants were not enthusiastic about forming a special district. Mr. Ballard explained there were a number of complications and it took a great deal of time to establish a PRSA and get the funding in place. They have considered PRSAs in other areas of Seattle where it would be possible to expand the tax base. In Edmonds, a PRSA could remove the expense from the City and place it in a district but because the boundaries could not be expanded to increase the tax base, it would not reduce the cost to the taxpayer. Councilmember Plunkett summarized a PRSA was an option for a funding mechanism but there was a little difference between a PRSA or the City doing a levy. For Councilmember Plunkett, Mr. Ballard reviewed the estimated net subsidy (revenue less expense) for each option:  Current: $100,000  Option 1: $0-$50,000  Option 2: $200,000-$300,000  Option 3: $150,000-$250,000 Packet Page 23 of 487 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes August 25, 2009 Page 7  Option 4: $25,000-$125,000 Councilmember Plunkett asked whether outdoor lap swimming could be accommodated in Option 3. He referred to the outdoor Magnolia pool that includes recreation and lap. Mr. Comes answered it could be done. He explained the hardcore lap swimmers, swim teams, and fitness swimmers like a lower water temperature than the users of a recreation pool. Councilmember Plunkett assumed the lap swimmers at Yost Pool were casual swimmers and may not be as affected by water temperature. Mr. Comes agreed outdoor lap lanes could be added within the recreation tank without impacting the cost. COUNCILMEMBER BERNHEIM MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WAMBOLT, TO EXTEND DISCUSSION OF THIS ITEM FOR 10 MINUTES. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Council President Wilson asked where in the report the economic impact information was located. Mr. Ballard answered it was on pages 105-107. Council President Wilson asked how those numbers were determined. Mr. Ballard acknowledged it was difficult to do detailed economic impact projections at this point. They used assumptions based on the increase in admissions and a rate of approximately $10 per person. He cautioned the economic impact projections were very conservative at this point in the process. The economic impact for Option 2 (all indoor) was higher because it had year-round use and was a larger facility. He clarified the $10 per person was money spent on the trip to/from the pool and did not include the admission price. He advised the $10 was determined via reducing the amount cited by the Visitor’s Bureau for a more in-depth economic study for an aquatic facility in Bellevue. Mr. Comes commented a facility with outdoor recreation would be unique to this area and would attract residents who stay for a few hours as well as people who stay all day, buy lunch, etc. Council President Wilson asked whether Concept 4 +Concept 1 (Harbor Square) had been reviewed by the Harbor Square management. He recalled their desire during early conversations to retain the tennis courts. Mr. Comes answered they have had multiple conversations with Harbor Square ownership. Their architect prepared an option with a similar concept that eliminated more site area than Concept 4. Council President Wilson asked if cities in Washington typically used a 20-year bond that required a 60% voter approval rate or a 6-year bond that required a 50% voter approval rate. Mr. Ballard stated it would depend on the magnitude of the project. Most of the options were too expensive for a 6-year payback. In his experience, most indoor facilities were at least 15 years, a 20 year bond was provided as a baseline. He noted a 6-year payback would be tax intensive and approximately triple the per year cost to taxpayers. Council President Wilson asked whether quotas were used in the survey such as age or income. Mr. Ballard answered age and income information was used to ensure the responses met the demographics of the City. The randomness of the survey typically represents the City’s demographics. It was his understanding there was no weighting done in the survey. COUNCILMEMBER BERNHEIM MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WAMBOLT, TO EXTEND DISCUSSION OF THIS ITEM FOR 15 MINUTES. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Councilmember Bernheim commented the analysis and options were very good and would cost the average household between $30 and $100/year. He recalled a Planning Board Member and he visited the pool project at the private Klahaya Pool, commenting it was possible to spend less and obtain a very good project. Mr. Comes agreed, noting they did not want to provide too low an estimate. He pointed out the Klahaya Pool project was a pool-only replacement; the concepts presented included the replacement of a Packet Page 24 of 487 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes August 25, 2009 Page 8 6500 square foot pool house on a difficult site which accounts for a majority of the difference between the Klahaya Pool and the concepts they presented. Councilmember Bernheim commented consideration could not be given to only the cost of a facility, the resulting multi-faceted facility would provide a great benefit to the community that was not measurable in dollars and cents. The facility would provide a place for team sports, a place for teens and may also increase residents’ property values. Councilmember Peterson commented the site benefits of Yost Park were also drawbacks, specifically parking. A larger facility would require additional parking which would require removing trees. He asked whether any consideration was given to traffic impacts. Mr. Comes answered consideration of traffic impacts was not part of their scope of work. He agreed tree removal would be required as a pool would impact the topography. One of the priorities of any project would need to be maintaining as many trees as possible. He pointed out in the existing 65 parking stalls, users feel like they are parking in the woods and any parking expansion would need to maintain that character which would likely result a less efficient, more expensive lot. He pointed out in the aerial photographs of Yost Pool, the parking lot was not visible because it was covered by the tree canopy. He suggested the City also consider alternatives to reduce the parking impact such as allowing a reduction in parking due to bus service, bike parking, carpool spaces, etc. Councilmember Peterson asked if the parking would need to be doubled. Mr. Comes estimated twice the parking would be the minimum. The diagrams illustrate approximately twice the current 65 spaces. Councilmember Peterson suggested the transportation plan consider the impact of a facility on nearby intersections. Councilmember Plunkett observed the cost of Concept 1 was $8 million and Concept 3 was twice that amount. He anticipated Concept 1, outdoor lap and outdoor recreation, may satisfy the vast majority of Edmonds residents; however, the consultant’s recommendation was Concept 3 which includes indoor lap. He asked what was so compelling about indoor lap that justified twice the cost. Mr. Comes answered the survey results indicated 32% wanted an indoor option and 28% wanted both indoor and outdoor. Mr. Ballard noted in addition to the surveys, people at the community meetings expressed a desire for an indoor option. Councilmember Plunkett concluded the desire was not simply indoor lap, but an indoor option. Mr. Comes explained the indoor pool was designated as a lap pool; it could be used for lap swimming, lessons, recreation swimming, etc. 5. AUDIENCE COMMENTS Diane Buckshnis, Edmonds, expressed concern with the item on tonight’s agenda concerning an interim zoning ordinance suspending the application of Chapter 23.90.040(C), placing a moratorium on the retention of vegetation on land zoned RS-12 and RS-20, requiring the issue to be reviewed by the Planning Board and holding a public hearing. She was concerned the public was not aware of this code as it was not included in the agenda packet. With approval of this interim ordinance, the Council would instantly suspend the retention of a minimum of 30% native vegetation on subdividable and undeveloped parcels zoned RS-12 and RS-20 as well as eliminate the requirement for providing a vegetation management plan. She suggested the Council not approve the interim ordinance and instead refer it to the Planning Board for a public hearing to determine public sentiment. Rich Senderoff, Edmonds, referred to the interim zoning ordinance and the comments he provided at the last Council meeting, commenting none of the Council’s discussion regarding the interim ordinance resolved his concern that the ordinance was unnecessary. He was concerned to learn the ordinance was Packet Page 25 of 487 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes August 25, 2009 Page 9 referred to the City Attorney by the Planning Department a year after the ruling. He questioned the existence of a crisis when a year had passed before the City responded. He reiterated his recommendation that the Planning Board, followed by the City Council, address this issue with the existing code and protections in place. Next, with regard to the trees proposed to be removed near Horizon Bank, he suggested a more prudent and less costly solution would be to apply asphalt or concrete to minimize the sidewalk discontinuity that may create a trip hazard, a method used on Seattle streets. He referred to a meeting citizens had with Seattle arborist Nolan Rundquist and his statement that no tree exists that only grow down and not laterally; whether the sidewalk lifts is primarily related to the depth of the hardpan. He pointed out six of the seven spindly deciduous trees the City planted after removing brush and hydro seeding at the end of his street had died. Planting fir or cedar trees in this area would have been less costly, increased the survivability of the trees, minimized maintenance and provided more habitats. Dick Van Hollebeke, Edmonds, a member of the Aquatic Feasibility Study Committee, complimented the consultant team. He preferred Concept 3, the indoor and outdoor pool option, which would cost the average household $6.05/month. He suggested including maintenance in the bond issue, a cost of approximately $12-$15/year per household. He pointed out people live in Edmonds because 1) the beautiful area, 2) the people, and 3) amenities including the pool. He offered to spearhead the citizen effort to put a bond issue on the ballot. He suggested scheduling a public meeting to gather citizen input and a year from November place a bond measure on the ballot. Monda Van Hollebeke, Edmonds, offered to assist Dick with the citizen effort for a bond issue. Dennis Weaver, Edmonds, spoke in support of preserving Edmonds’ mature trees, specifically the canopy of shade trees west of Horizon Bank to 4th Avenue on the north side of Dayton. He noted Edmonds was the dream of many community designers - walkable, comforting, authentic, historic, and with character. He pointed out the environmental benefits provided by mature trees and suggested in view of the tight budget, the City restrict the expenditure of funds to the inexpensive grinding of sidewalk lips, leveling a sidewalk panel, or installing a small amount of asphalt versus the more expensive method of removal, restoration and replanting. He referred to the Council’s 2009 Sustainability Agenda, pointed out the City’s mature trees would assist with branding and marketing the City as a green destination. He commented City resident Barbara Mercer, before leaving for Europe, told him she expected to see the trees by Horizon Bank when she returned. Rebecca Wolfe, Edmonds, referred to the interim zoning ordinance regarding the retention of vegetation on subdividable or undeveloped parcels, pointing out the narrative description stated a recent court case in King County invalidated its set asides in rural areas. Edmonds is a city and should not be required to base its ordinances on decisions in rural King County. She referred to the statement that the City’s ordinance had some similarities to King County’s ordinance and questioned the City’s response to adopt a moratorium on a critical areas ordinance. She referred to the alternative approach, require site-specific critical area studies in lieu of a uniform percentage approach, asking what criteria would be used for a site-by-site review, preferring the Planning Board conduct their review before adopting a moratorium. She pointed out the top priority of the group that prevailed in the appeal, Citizens Alliance for Property Rights, was saving taxpayers money and not the environment. Al Rutledge, Edmonds, described the fire on the island in Lake Ballinger and the fire department’s response. He commented on ash from the fire on several homes, noting most homes on the lake have pumps that draw water from the lake. George Murray, Edmonds, complimented the presentation on Yost Pool, noting it was good to see people unite regarding an issue that was so important to the community. He expressed support for an indoor pool with a zero entry. He noted there may be funds available from health organizations that Packet Page 26 of 487 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes August 25, 2009 Page 10 underwrite pool programs. Next, he referred to a presentation he attended regarding the $1.3 million library levy on the November ballot. The library plans to reduce senior administrative staff salaries by 3% in 2010, freeze staff salaries in 2010, delay replacement of the library’s computer system, reduce replacement of manuals and materials, not fill open positions, and all non-library programs are being eliminated. He noted the presentation was well received because the library system was sharing the burden. Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, referred to the evaluation of the former Woodway High School in the Aquatic Feasibility Study. He suggested the City and School District administration reach an agreement to allow a pool on that site. He also supported an outdoor pool at Yost Park, recalling the study cited the popularity of the natural setting of the outdoor Yost Pool. Councilmember Plunkett referred to Mr. Van Hollebeke’s comment regarding including maintenance and operating costs in a pool bond and requested the consultants add a note to their report regarding the possibility of financing M&O. Parks & Recreation Director Brian McIntosh responded there would need to be two separate bond measures, contingent on the passage of each other, one asking for construction funds and a second for M&O. 6. INITIAL DISCUSSION ON ISSUES RELATING TO ROOF DESIGN STANDARDS. Planning Manager Rob Chave explained recent construction in a multi family zone raised a number of questions about how roof standards have been applied in the RM zones. As a result Building Official Ann Bullis and he reviewed 20+ years of history of multi family projects in RM zones in an effort to determine how roof standards have been applied and how the rules have been interpreted. He displayed an aerial photograph of a multi family building approved in 1989 that illustrates a roof that dips into the center portion of the building. In the center portion there are drainage features, flat roof sections, etc. that is below the highest portion of the roof but not necessarily below 25 feet. He displayed photographs of buildings constructed in the last 1990s that illustrate a pitch at the edge of the building and then the roof dips down, often into a series of peaks and valleys. This presents a challenge for getting rid of the water that collects in the valleys, necessitating the use of “cricket” features. Crickets are placed on top of the roof where there is a valley to collect and direct water toward a drain. The crickets are not typically 4-in-12, but as low a pitch as possible to still collect and move the water, often ¼-in-12. He noted the crickets were not technically part of the roof structure. He displayed several photographs of buildings with roofs that have peaks and valleys, many with cricket systems to collect and redirect water toward drains. When reviewing plans, crickets were sometimes shown on the plans and sometimes they were not. History reveals it is impractical to expect a roof on a large RM building to span its entire roof area with a uniformly pitched roof, complicated roof systems have been developed including internal wells and valleys;; crickets have been used to solve drainage problems arising from complicated roof designs. The Zoning Code states the following:  ECDC 16.30.030(A): Roof only may extend five feet above the stated height limit if all portions of the roof above the stated height limit have a slope of 4 inches in 12 inches or greater.  ECDC 21.85.070 Roof: Roof means the top covering of a building or structure The Zoning Code does not define a cricket and it appears they have been allowed for the past 20+ years. Another factor to consider is roofs must achieve a certain structural integrity and achieve their purpose - protect the structure and provide adequate drainage. He cautioned the City should not mandate designs Packet Page 27 of 487 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes August 25, 2009 Page 11 through zoning that are impractical to build, create structural or maintenance issues or add unnecessarily to the cost. Questions that arise from the current code include:  Dictionary definition of roof includes dormers, gables as part of the roof  Where does a roof start?  Pitch is specified in the code but roof form is not  Roofs have many forms and features - peak of the roof where planes meet  Non-structural drainage features such as crickets He suggested the City needed to get away from code provisions that did not achieve what the Council wanted to accomplish. He commented design features include appearance from the street; light, air, mass; materials; and interest and scale. With regard to what is good design and how it can be legislated, he suggested different standards be developed for different RM zones such as on Highway 99 and corridors, downtown and neighborhood centers as well as giving consideration to visual preferences. As an example he displayed an aerial photograph of two RM buildings with similar peak and valley roof systems and the same buildings as viewed from the street, one with few architectural details, the other with a great deal of architectural detail.. He concluded roof systems and design do not equate in the current code. Mr. Chave recalled the Comprehensive Plan was developed in the 1990s, citizens were asked to rate a series of building photographs. He displayed photographs of a 3 story multi family building and a 1½ story multi family building that residents rated positively and the same. He displayed photographs of a single family home, multi family building and a mixed use residential/commercial building that residents rated the same as the two multi family buildings. He summarized in many cases, use and scale were not the most important factor, people react primarily to design. Going forward he suggested the City focus on what they wanted the code to do and the rules should consider and be consistent between zoning requirements (height, bulk and scale), design (appearance), and building code (structure, maintenance). Currently these factors are not in synch. Another issue is single family in RM zones; in the BC zone single family structures are allowed but only to a height of 25 feet. In the RM zones, single family structures may be the same height as multi family structures and only single family setbacks are required which are typically smaller. Council President Wilson commented the purpose of this item tonight was to bring the Council up to speed with conversations staff has been having with Councilmember Bernheim regarding the building at 523 Alder. The September 22 agenda will include further discussion on the issues Mr. Chave identified. Councilmember Plunkett asked whether any changes would need to be reviewed by the Planning Board. Mr. Chave agreed they would. Councilmember Plunkett commented staff has accepted the cricket systems because they do not impact the streetscape. Mr. Chave agreed. He commented when Ms. Bullis and he reviewed the building plans, sometimes crickets were shown, sometimes they were not and often they were very difficult to discern in the plans. Typically the focus of staff and the ADB is on appearance and overall elevation and often the crickets were overlooked. Councilmember Bernheim asked whether literal enforcement of the slope requirement was impractical in every case. Mr. Chave answered the interaction of the building code, slope requirement and zoning led to impractical solutions and maintenance issues waiting to happen. Councilmember Bernheim referred to the photographs Mr. Chave displayed of buildings constructed as early as 1988, pointing out the current code was adopted by Ordinance 3627 in 2007. He asked whether the site development standard of 4-in-12 were in existence when the buildings Mr. Chave displayed were Packet Page 28 of 487 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes August 25, 2009 Page 12 constructed. Mr. Chave answered that provision in the RM zone has not changed since 1981. Councilmember Bernheim suggested if the literal wording of the law is disregarded, and the roof design of the building does not comply with the 4-in-12, then the developer is being allowed to construct a larger building than otherwise would be allowed. He commented the mass was as importance as the design. Mr. Chave responded mass and roof design are entirely different. Councilmember Bernheim asked if any buildings were built during this period that complied with the spirit of the 25+5 height limit. Mr. Chave answered some buildings clearly had simpler 4-in-12 roof designs. Councilmember Bernheim pointed out “structure” was not referenced in the code, only that all portions of the roof above the stated height limit have a slope of 4-in-12 or greater. With regard to different standards in different neighborhoods, he noted the RM and BD zones required all portions of the roof above 25 feet to be a certain manner and the BD5 zone required all parts of the building above 25 to be a certain manner. Mr. Chave clarified his intent was RM zones in different areas of the City. Councilmember Bernheim noted there were at least four variations of the roof requirement above 25 feet. City Attorney Bio Park reported the City Attorney’s office was asked to work with staff to develop a correct interpretation of the code. Therefore they looked at the plain language and asked staff what roof structure could be built applying the plain language of the code. Their response was it was impractical but it would not result in an absurd situation. They may be strange looking and not very efficient, but the plain meaning of the code could be interpreted to build a functioning roof. The City’s experience in interpreting the code, given that the definition of roofs does not include crickets and given that the definition of heights includes several exceptions to what can exceed the building height such as chimneys, vents and elevator penthouses, the fact that crickets were specifically excluded was an indication that the Council intended to exclude crickets. Councilmember Plunkett recalled when Mr. Chave referred to the plain meaning of the code, he mentioned impractical; Mr. Park said it the result would be strange. He asked for examples of building design that applied the plain meaning of the code. Mr. Chave answered they would be similar to existing buildings; the difference would be crickets may disappear. One solution would be to construct a roof such that the interior structure sloped. This would result in additional expense as each truss would need to be individually designed versus a set of uniform trusses. Councilmember Plunkett commented a significant increase in cost would be absorbed by the purchasers rather than the builder and could result in an increase in the cost of housing in the community. Mr. Chave answered it could, which was the importance of a design discussion and not considering one aspect in isolation. Once the Council determined what they wanted to achieve, the rules to achieve that could be developed. The problem now is the disconnect between the zoning code and the building code. 7. DISCUSSION AND POTENTIAL ACTION ON A PROPOSED RESOLUTION RELATED TO DELAYING THE REMOVAL OF TREES AT 5TH AVENUE AND DAYTON STREET, NEAR THE SITE OF HORIZON BANK. Public Works Director Noel Miller explained staff’s proposal was to replace the Plum and Sweet Gum trees in front of Horizon Bank with Bowhall Maples in accordance with the 2006 Street Tree Plan. In addition staff proposes to replace the Sweet Gum trees at the 5th and Dayton intersection with October Glory Maples in conjunction with the Daley Street overlay project. As part of the overlay, the curb ramps must be replaced at the intersection which will damage the tree roots and reduce the health of the trees. The trees are recommended for replacement due to the shallow and continued root growth which cause the sidewalks to uplift, increasing trip hazards and claims against the City. Staff recommends removal of Packet Page 29 of 487 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes August 25, 2009 Page 13 the existing street trees on Dayton and replanting with a tree species in accordance with the Street Tree Plan that will be less disruptive to downtown sidewalks. Staff is sensitive to the reduction of canopy; however, it would reduce trip claims, allow planting of trees whose roots that are less invasive and would eventually create an attractive canopy. Councilmember Wambolt asked why the trees on the Horizon Bank property were proposed to be removed. Mr. Miller answered staff planned to do the sidewalk improvements in conjunction with the Dayton Street overlay project. Based on experience with the street trees on Main Street as well as other streets in the downtown area, he anticipated the trees would lift the sidewalk in this area. Another solution is to install asphalt or concrete shims but the result would be an undulating sidewalk in the future. Councilmember Wambolt asked about the trees north of the sidewalk. Mr. Miller answered the Plum trees were in the City right-of-way, the Sweet Gum trees were along the Horizon Bank property. The Sweet Gum trees have a very shallow, fast growing root structure and tend to uplift the sidewalks. He acknowledged the trees may not be lifting the sidewalk dramatically now, however, based on their history, it would be efficient to address the Sweet Gum trees at the same time as the overlay. Councilmember Bernheim thanked staff for the materials included in the agenda packet. He pointed out none of presentations at the public hearings on the Street Tree Plan mentioned the downtown streetscape nor were there any public comments regarding the downtown streetscape. He noted the Street Tree Plan required a 3.5 inch caliper tree downtown; however, all the trees that have been planted are 1.5 - 2.5 inch caliper due to the unavailability of large trees or because the larger caliper trees will not fit within the utility vault. He noted a 2.5 - 3.5 inch caliper tree was nearly twice the size of a 1.5 inch caliper tree. His consideration when cutting trees was whether their removal would improve safety, preserve the canopy and retain the image that attracted visitors. He commented removing existing trees, flat sidewalks, replanting trees of a uniform size and looking forward to their growth in 7-8 years was one image; unless there was some urgency, he preferred the lower cost approach such as grinding uplifted portions of the sidewalk. He pointed out there would not be an appreciable increase in the City’s insurance premiums regardless of the decision regarding the tree replacements. He concluded it was unnecessary to remove the trees but it was part of an overall tree update. Councilmember Bernheim referred to a scientific study he provided that indicated downtowns were healthier economically when shoppers were surrounded by trees. He pointed out Kirkland, Issaquah, Seattle and many other cities were installing flexible sidewalks. Although they were a greater cost, the recycled tire material allowed the sidewalk to be constructed around the tree roof invasion which results a safe sidewalk and preservation of the tree canopy. He also noted WCIA indicated it was the City’s discretion whether to remove the trees. Mayor Haakenson summarized staff would continue to follow the adopted Street Tree Plan unless the Council provided specific direction not to or requested specific trees not be removed. COUNCILMEMBER WAMBOLT MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BERNHEIM, TO RETAIN THE THREE SWEET GUM ON THE HORIZON BANK PROPERTY AND NOT REMOVE THEM AT THIS TIME. Councilmember Bernheim explained it was not his intent to involve the Council in every tree removal and recognized it was an executive responsibility. He wanted to moderate the attitude that trees that were not causing an uplift problem should be removed as part of an overall update without first considering the possibility of a rubber sidewalk. He cautioned the City could not brand itself as a green city if they were continually removing trees. Packet Page 30 of 487 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes August 25, 2009 Page 14 Councilmember Plunkett thanked Councilmember Bernheim for his efforts, acknowledging it was administration’s responsibility to carry out the policy but it was the Council’s responsibility to set policy. If the Council’s policy was not to remove trees, that needed to be stated. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. COUNCILMEMBER BERNHEIM MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WAMBOLT, THAT THE COUNCIL ENCOURAGE THE ADMINISTRATION TO LOOK INTO ALTERNATIVES TO TREE REMOVAL INCLUDING RUBBER SIDEWALKS AND NEW TECHNOLOGIES AND IN THE COURSE OF CONSIDERING COMPLIANCE WITH THE STREET TREE PLAN, THEY CONSULT WITH NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES WHO ARE ACTIVELY IMPLEMENTING ALTERNATIVES. Mayor Haakenson suggested the Council review and revise the Street Tree Plan. Councilmember Bernheim pointed out the Street Tree Plan did not require removal of these trees. Council President Wilson inquired about Councilmember Bernheim’s intent with regard to encouraging consideration of alternatives. Councilmember Bernheim answered his intent was for staff to consider alternatives including new technologies such as getting an estimate for a rubber sidewalk. Council President Wilson asked Mr. Miller to comment on the use of rubber sidewalk material. Mr. Miller answered in certain situations a rubber sidewalk would be workable such as in a residential area where there is a curb planter strip that provides separation between the street tree and the sidewalk as there would be adequate space for contouring. This was problematic in areas where the sidewalk was lifting above the elevation of the curb as it created a higher drop from the curb into the street. Rather than a standard curb drop of 6 inches, the tree roots raise the sidewalk and increase the drop to 10+ inches. Installing rubber sidewalk material would not eliminate the increase in the drop. He agreed to keep the Council updated on staff’s contact with vendors and other cities. Council President Wilson asked when the Street Tree Plan was scheduled for review by the Council. Mr. Miller answered there was not a regular cycle for review but due to the number of issues that have arisen recently, he recommended placing it on staff’s work plan in early 2010. Council President Wilson suggested a moratorium on the removal of trees until the Council reviewed the Street Tree Plan. Councilmember Plunkett suggested the Council either propose amendments to the Street Tree Plan, or adopt a moratorium and in the meantime develop alternatives for a January update of the Street Tree Plan. Councilmember Peterson commented his concern with the moratorium was ADA compliance. COUNCILMEMBER BERNHEIM WITHDREW HIS MOTION WITH THE AGREEMENT OF THE SECOND. COUNCILMEMBER BERNHEIM MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WAMBOLT, TO ESTABLISH A MORATORIUM ON STREET TREE REMOVAL WITH A JANUARY DEADLINE TO REVIEW THE STREET TREE PLAN. Councilmember Bernheim clarified his motion would include trees proposed to be removed on Dayton. Mayor Haakenson noted the Dayton Street overlay was an opportunity to replace the trees; staff wanted to avoid digging up Dayton Street a second time to remove and replace the trees in the future. Mr. Miller advised there were three street trees in the parking strip west of the intersection and four trees at the Packet Page 31 of 487 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes August 25, 2009 Page 15 intersection, a total of seven trees. Mayor Haakenson advised the Dayton overlay has been delayed and was now scheduled to begin September 14. The sidewalk at 3rd Avenue will be replaced at the same time. Councilmember Bernheim requested the Plum trees be excluded and the Sweet Gum trees in the parking lot be retained. Mr. Miller clarified the Plum trees could be removed; however, the Sweet Gum trees at the intersection in front of the bank and the Red Twig restaurant needed to be retained as well as the Sweet Gum trees by the Horizon Bank parking lot. Councilmember Bernheim agreed. Mr. Miller commented the Plum trees may not be removed. Councilmember Wambolt inquired whether the ADA ramps could still be installed. Mr. Miller answered they could, the concern was the ramps would be damaged by the tree roots if the trees were not removed. Council President Wilson restated the motion as follows: PUT A MORATORIUM ON ALL STREET TREE REMOVAL IN THE CITY OF EDMONDS INDEFINITELY WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE THREE PLUM TREES ON DAYTON. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 8. REVIEW AND POTENTIAL ACTION ON AN INTERIM ZONING ORDINANCE SUSPENDING THE APPLICATION OF CHAPTER 23.90.040(C), RETENTION OF VEGETATION ON SUBDIVIDABLE, UNDEVELOPED PARCELS. Mayor Haakenson recalled several citizens voiced concern about the moratorium, why it took so long for the City to take action in response to the July 2008 decision and why there was now a rush. City Attorney Bio Park responded his understanding was staff had been discussing this with the City Attorney’s office for several months; the City Attorney has been analyzing whether the City’s ordinance was comparable to King County’s ordinance and recently concluded it was. He noted the application of King County’s ordinance to rural zoning was not pertinent to the court’s decision to invalidate King County’s ordinance. King County had established a set aside of up to 50% depending on lot size and there was no proportionality to the specific features of the property to support the set aside. Mayor Haakenson asked the risk to the City of referring the issue to the Planning Board without a moratorium. Mr. Park answered there were pending applications in the City that may be impacted by the City’s current 30% set aside. If the requirements were changed to site-specific critical area studies, a change to the code would be required and applications would be vested under the current code. The risk would be an applicant may challenge the City’s code under the King County decision. Planning Manager Rob Chave explained when the critical area regulations were adopted, they were believed to be defensible because RS-12 and RS-20 zones were in and around critical areas, establishing a nexus for the requirement versus King County’s rule which applied to all rural areas. Staff began discussions with the City Attorney when the ruling on King County’s set aside was made. One approach considered was rather than via critical areas was via the subdivision regulations, low impact development standards, etc. The difficulty now is an application has been submitted that would require retention of the 30% native vegetation under the current rules. For Councilmember Plunkett, Mr. Chave explained if the Council adopted the moratorium, the application would not be required to provide the 30% set aside. Without the moratorium, the existing rules would apply and retention of 30% native vegetation would be required. Mr. Chave recalled a previous applicant who later did not proceed with their application raised the question and said the City’s rule was inappropriate. Packet Page 32 of 487 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes August 25, 2009 Page 16 Councilmember Plunkett asked if the moratorium provided the best protection. Mr. Chave answered staff was convinced by the City Attorney’s office that a moratorium was the most prudent action to take. Councilmember Bernheim asked where in the materials the City Attorney provided that opinion. Mr. Chave answered it was verbal at this point. Councilmember Bernheim said he was unable to accept a verbal recommendation to abandon the critical areas ordinance. He asked if the existing ordinance allowed for an individual assessment of a subdivision based on critical areas. Mr. Park answered a change to the code to require individualized study/assessment would not apply to applications that were vested under the current code. COUNCILMEMBER ORVIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PLUNKETT, TO EXTEND THE MEETING FOR 15 MINUTES. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Councilmember Peterson commented if the moratorium were approved, an applicant would not need to retain 30% native vegetation; if the Council did not pass the moratorium and an applicant successfully challenged the code, they would not need to retain 30% native vegetation. Mr. Park commented it was very likely the City’s requirement could be challenged under the King County case in Superior Court. The strategy with regard to defending a challenge would need to be discussed in Executive Session. Councilmember Peterson commented if the code were not changed until the Planning Board had an opportunity to review the requirement and an applicant successfully challenged it, the City had a better chance of protecting its critical areas. Mr. Park responded a challenge would likely include takings and constitutional damages, etc. that may or may not be upheld. He summarized it was likely additional damages would be sought by a plaintiff. Councilmember Peterson asked whether damages were sought in the King County case and if they were significant. Mr. Park answered issues were bifurcated; first the adjudication of the merits and if plaintiffs prevail, damages are adjudicated separately. He offered to research the damages in the King County case. Councilmember Wambolt pointed out there would also be legal costs associated with a challenge. Mr. Park agreed, advising legal costs for such a case would not be covered by WCIA. Councilmember Wambolt asked if the City would be required to pay the plaintiff’s legal costs if a challenge were successful. Mr. Park answered yes if they prevailed on certain constitutional issues. Council President Wilson concluded the potential downside of any future litigation was outweighed by waiving the critical areas ordinance. COUNCIL PRESIDENT WILSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BERNHEIM, TO SEND THE MATTER TO THE PLANNING BOARD FOR REGULAR AND NORMAL REVIEW. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 9. COUNCIL REPORTS ON OUTSIDE COMMITTEE/BOARD MEETINGS Council President Wilson reported the Lake Ballinger Forum met today and are moving into the next phase which is to identify a governance structure to implement the Strategic Action Plan such as an Interlocal Agreement or creating a new agency or lake management district with its own taxing authority. Councilmember Plunkett reported the Historic Preservation Commission will be presenting properties to the Council for inclusion on the Historic Registry. 10. MAYOR'S COMMENTS Mayor Haakenson reported he will make a presentation on the Fire District 1 contract offer at the September 1 Council meeting. City Clerk Sandy Chase distributed a binder to each Councilmember Packet Page 33 of 487 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes August 25, 2009 Page 17 containing all the pertinent information. Mayor Haakenson advised documents would be available for citizen review at the September 1 meeting and links would be provided on the City’s website on September 2. He invited Councilmembers to contact him with any questions. Councilmember Plunkett asked whether the binder contained all the information the Council would need. Mayor Haakenson answered it did, including questions Councilmembers have asked in the past. 11. COUNCIL COMMENTS Council President Wilson thanked Mayor Haakenson for distributing the information regarding Fire District 1. He explained the schedule would include a presentation by City Attorney Scott Snyder on September 15 regarding other options for regionalization of fire service such as an RFA, reverse annexation and ways other communities have addressed the issue. Public comment will be accepted at the September 22 Council meeting. A joint meeting with the Council and Fire District 1 Commissioners is scheduled for the September 29 Council meeting. At the October 6 Council meeting, he invited the Mountlake Terrace Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem and City Manager as well as the Brier Mayor to speak to the Council regarding their experience as cities that contract with Fire District 1 for fire service. Public comment will be accepted on October 6 and again on October 20. The October 20 agenda will include a Council work session on the Fire District 1 proposal. He anticipated the Council may take a vote at the October 27 meeting with regard to contracting for fire service with Fire District 1. 12.

CLOSED RECORD REVIEW OF THE PLANNING BOARD'S RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE THE REZONE OF THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 7631 212TH STREET SW FROM RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY (RM-2.4) TO NEIGHBORHOOD BUSINESS (BN). THE APPLICANT IS OASIS, INC. Mayor Haakenson invited Councilmembers to make any disclosures under the Appearance of Fairness Doctrine. Councilmember Orvis advised six years ago he lived in Rustic Manor Condominiums which is approximately one lot away from this site. He advised that would not affect his ability to make a fair and impartial decision. Councilmember Plunkett disclosed in 2005 he accepted a $100 contribution from one of the parties of record, Clay Enterprises. As he did not feel he met the test of the appearance of fairness, he recused himself from the closed record review. Councilmember Plunkett left the dais and the Council Chambers. Mayor Haakenson asked whether any of the parties of record, Don Miller, Oasis, Inc., or Ken Clay, had any challenges to Councilmember Orvis’ participation. There were no objections voiced. Mike Clugston, Planner displayed an aerial photograph of the subject parcels, 6731 212th Street Southwest, just west of the intersection of 76th Avenue & 212th. He explained the record consists of Exhibit 1, minutes of the July 22, 2009 Planning Board public hearing; Exhibit 2, the staff report, and Exhibit 3, the list of parties of record. He explained there are currently four buildings, three rectangular and one round building, on the site that have existed since the 1960s. There is an existing conditional use permit (CUP) for the four buildings currently used as medical offices. The site is currently zoned RM- 2.4. The round building on the site is currently vacant. The applicant has applied to rezone the subject parcel from RM-2.4 to Neighborhood Business (BN) in order to use the round building as a retail pharmacy. Retail is not an allowed used in the RM zone. Should the rezone be approved, the applicant would likely install a drive-through window which requires a separate CUP. The Planning Board unanimously recommended the Council approve the rezone request, citing its consistency with the Comprehensive Plan land use designation for the parcel and because it met the six rezone criteria in the Zoning Code. Applicant Don Miller, GWC Land Development Consulting, Mukilteo, representing the applicant, Oasis, Inc., commented staff’s analysis was very complete. He explained the proposed rezone met the Zoning Code, implements the Comprehensive Plan and fulfills the applicant’s intent to allow operation of a retail pharmacy on the site. The applicant will submit a separate application for the drive-through window if the rezone is approved. Mayor Haakenson invited the parties of record to provide comment. None of the parties of record wished to address the Council. COUNCILMEMBER ORVIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WAMBOLT, TO DIRECT THE CITY ATTORNEY TO PREPARE AN ORDINANCE APPROVING THE CHANGE IN ZONING, AS RECOMMENDED BY THE PLANNING BOARD. Packet Page 78 of 487 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes August 17, 2009 Page 6 Councilmember Orvis commented the rezone would allow commercial uses on what was essentially a commercial site. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. (Councilmember Plunkett did not participate in the vote.) Councilmember Plunkett returned to the dais. 6. UPDATE ON THE SOUTH COUNTY SENIOR CENTER. David McNayr, South County Senior Center Executive Director, explained the Senior Center was a regional multi-purpose center providing programs and services for the senior population of South Snohomish County. Programs and services are grouped in three major activity categories: 1) health and wellness, 2) social services and community outreach, and 3) education, recreation and social activity programs. The current membership at the center totals approximately 1300 individuals and over 3,000 members and guests take part in activities at the center. The Center’s mission statement is to advocate for the senior citizens in the community and provide a variety of programs and services to help fulfill social service, recreational, educational, and health and wellness needs of the senior community, with a view toward broadening and enhancing the quality of their lives and stimulating creative imaginations. The Center is celebrating its 41st year of service to the community. The Center is a member of the Washington State Association of Senior Centers. It served as a national model for formulating the requirements for certification as a multi-purpose senior center. The SCSC serves the needs of the elder population of the community by providing extensive support for a very diverse target population that faces a multitude of issues including poor health, low and fixed incomes, lack of employment training and opportunities, inadequate housing options and lack of personal and family support. The SCSC functions as an access point for all community-aging services resources while providing support and services in a warm, welcoming and accepting environment. The SCSC’s overriding goal is to maximize the independence of senior citizens, reduce or eliminate the need for institutional care, while enhancing the quality of life. He commented on losses people experience as they age, commenting the need for programs and services increases each year because seniors are the fastest growing segment of the population. This trend will continue as people are living longer and healthier lives and because the baby boomer population has achieved senior status. Mr. McNayr provided an overview of the three program areas: Health and Wellness Programs – includes fitness and exercise classes, health screening, surplus food clinic as a member of Food Lifeline, serve over 15,000 hot lunches in their dining room annually, loaned health assistance equipment, SHIBA advisers who provide free health insurance information to seniors, and an annual health fair Social Services and Community Outreach – caregivers resource center, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, diabetes and sigh impaired support groups; senior employment service; information and referral services, Sound Thrift Store that offers low priced goods to seniors and the community and provides revenue for the Center’s operations; Country Boutique consignment store that provides extra income for senior crafters; AARP tax assistance, transportation assistance for low income seniors, community breakfasts; themed dinners and summer barbeques. Education, Recreation and Social Programs – offer classes on a variety of subjects; locally planned trips using the Center’s bus or van or Community Transit, Sounder and Washington State ferry; and guest lecturers Packet Page 79 of 487 AM-2473 2.G.

Continued Public Hearing Regarding Update of 2002 Transportation Plan Edmonds City Council Meeting Date:09/01/2009 Submitted By:Conni Curtis Submitted For:Robert English Time:45 Minutes Department:Engineering Type:Action Review Committee: Committee Action: Information Subject Title Continued public hearing regarding an update of the 2002 Transportation Plan. The amendments in the proposed 2009 Transportation Plan would: (1) Use a future planning year of 2025 instead of 2022. (2) Base concurrency analysis and recommendations on updated citywide travel demand forecasting model and updated level of service standards on state routes. (3) Incorporate results and recommendations of safety studies that have been completed between 2002 and 2009. (4) Give stronger emphasis to non-motorized transportation projects. Pedestrian and bicycle projects make up approximately 25% of Plan costs instead of approximately 5% in the 2002 Plan. (5) Utilize planning-level cost projections based on higher per unit prices to reflect trends. (6) Adjust references to the Edmonds Crossing Multi-Modal Plan. No City expenditures are proposed but the item is retained as a long-term project. (7) Update the traffic impact fee, increasing the fee from $764 per trip to $1,040 per trip. (8) Add a traffic calming program and ADA ramp transition plan as additional programs. Recommendation from Mayor and Staff Council approve the 2009 Comprehensive Transportation Plan and begin an investigation in 2010 for additional revenue from the Transportation Benefit District. Previous Council Action On February 19, 2008, Council authorized the Mayor to sign a Professional Services Agreement with ICF Jones & Stokes for the update of the Comprehensive Transportation Plan. On June 3, 2008, the consultant and staff updated City Council on the progress of the Plan. On May 12, 2009, a brief overview of the Plan and the City’s current financial situation with regard to funding proposed transportation improvement projects were discussed at the CSDS committee meeting. On July 21, 2009, the 2009 Comprehensive Transportation Plan was presented to Council. On August 4, 2009, Council held a public hearing on the Comprehensive Transportation Plan. Packet Page 82 of 487 Narrative On August 4, 2009, a public hearing was held on the proposed Comprehensive Transportation Plan Update. Following discussion of the Plan, Council requested staff provide responses to questions raised during the hearing and to continue the public hearing to the September 1st Council meeting. Attached are the responses to the questions raised during the public hearing. Several minor revisions have been made to the plan based on public comments. These revisions are identified in the attached set of redlined pages and also redlined in the full Plan. Staff recommends the Council approve the 2009 Comprehensive Transportation Plan and begin an investigation in 2010 for additional revenue from the Transportation Benefit District. Narrative from August 4th Council Meeting: The City of Edmonds is currently in the process of updating the Comprehensive Transportation Plan. Under the Growth Management Act, the City is required to perform a major update to the plan every six to ten years. Our last major update was prepared in 2002. The plan lists existing transportation conditions for all users (drivers, pedestrians, bikers and transit users) as well as possible improvements to these conditions. The main objective of the Comprehensive Transportation Plan is to identify improvements necessary to provide a system for all modes of transportation that will function safely and efficiently through the year 2025. The Planning Board held a public hearing on June 10, 2009 at which time the Board approved the Draft Comprehensive Transportation Plan and forwarded it to City Council with a recommendation for adoption. The consultant, ICF Jones & Stokes, and City staff have been working on the update over the last year. The consultant will provide a summary of the financial plan, the City's shortfall in transportation funding, and a potential source of new revenue (Transportation Benefit District). Staff recommends the Council approve the 2009 Comprehensive Transportation Plan and begin an investigation in 2010 for additional revenue from the Transportation Benefit District.

Evaluates traffic flow operations and pedestrian safety and access for the intersection, and makes recommendations for operational and safety improvements. Land Use Review The Edmonds Comprehensive Plan and ECDC guides development and growth within the city. Future transportation infrastructure and service needs identified in this Transportation Plan were established by evaluating the level and pattern of travel demand generated by planned future land use. Future population and employment projections for the region are established by the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC). Snohomish County works with local jurisdictions to determine the expected distribution of population and employment between cities and unincorporated county. The transportation analysis presented in this Transportation Plan is based upon these future population and employment projections. Within the City, the allocation of future housing and jobs growth was based upon the County’s “buildable lands” assessment (Snohomish County 2008), which estimates available land capacity for future development, according to the amount of vacant and under-developed (based upon zoning) land. Table 1-1 summarizes the existing and projected future land use growth, based upon these assessments. Table 1-1.

Require new development to consolidate and minimize access points along all state highways, principal arterials, and minor arterials. c. Place a high priority on consolidating existing access points onto all arterial streets in the city. This effort should be coordinated with local business and property owners in conjunction with improvements to the arterial system and redevelopment of adjacent land parcels. d. Design the street system so that the majority of direct residential access is provided via local streets. e. For access onto state highways, implement Chapter 468-52 of the Washington Administrative Code (WAC), Highway Access Management -- Access Control Classification System and Standards. Policy 3.16 Encourage underground parking as part of new development. Objective 4: Circulation. Circulation and connectivity throughout the city should be via the system of arterial and collector streets, bikeways and pedestrian paths. Local streets should be utilized for local property access and designed in a manner to discourage cut- through vehicular traffic. Policy 4.1 Encourage the efficient movement of people and goods through an effective and inter-connected collector and arterial street system. Policy 4.2 The use of dead end streets and culs-de-sac should be avoided. When unavoidable, the length of a dead end street, including cul-de-sac, should be limited to 600 feet, with a minimum 35-foot radius to back of curb on the cul-de-sac. Policy 4.32 Complete the arterial sidewalk system according to the following priority list: a. Arterial roadways without sidewalks or shoulders on which transit service is provided; b. Arterial roadways without sidewalks or shoulders on which transit service is not provided; c. Arterial roadways with shoulders too narrow or in or poor walking condition for pedestrians; d. Arterial roadways with adequate shoulders for pedestrians but without sidewalks; and e. The remainder of the arterial roadway system (e.g. roads with sidewalks along one side, or roads with sidewalks in disrepair). Policy 4.43 Design streets to accommodate emergency service vehicles.

Edmonds Main Street and 3rd Avenue Upgrade signal to reduce conflicts with trucks. Edmonds 1. Trigger year is the year by which travel demand forecasts indicates that the location will operate below adopted LOS standards, and thus be in violation of concurrency. Under the GMA, improvements must be in place within six years of the year that a concurrency violation is triggered. 2. Analysis indicates that restricting northbound and southbound traffic to right-turn-only (prohibiting left-turn and through movements) would also address the deficiency identified at this location through 2025. This could be implemented as an alternate solution, or as an interim solution until traffic signal warrants are met. 3. Analysis indicates that identified deficiencies could also be addressed by removal of parking along the entire length of 9th Avenue between the northbound approach of Walnut and the southbound approach of Main, and restriping and signing so that this section of 9th would be 4 lanes wide. This would result in two lanes of traffic at the northbound and southbound stop-controlled approaches of both intersections. This could be implemented as an alternate solution, or as an interim solution until traffic signal warrants are met. 2015 Operating Conditions with Improvements Projected intersection LOS under 2015 conditions, with recommended improvements in place, is summarized in Table 3-15 and illustrated in Figure 3-16. The table shows that recommended projects are expected to address deficiencies identified through 2015. Packet Page 95 of 487 Implementation and Financial Plan September 2009 6-11 evaluation of future conditions that result from the City’s adopted future land use plan, and priorities stated by Edmonds citizens. A six-year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is prepared each year, which identifies transportation projects needed to respond to planned growth of the community, and to meet safety and mobility objectives. The TIP integrates City transportation improvement projects and resources with other agencies in order to maximize financing opportunities such as grants, bonds, city funds, donations, impact fees, and other available funding. The TIP is maintained as follows: 1. Provide for annual review by the City Council as part of the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) contained in the Comprehensive Plan capital facilities element. 2. Ensure that the TIP: ƒ Is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan; ƒ Defines a project’s need, and links it to LOS and facility plans; ƒ Includes construction costs, timing, and funding sources; and considers operations and maintenance impacts where appropriate; and ƒ Establishes project development priorities. Table 6-4 summarizes the recommended Transportation Improvement Plan, 2010 through 2025, which is a comprehensive multimodal plan that is based on extensive public input and reflects a major update of the 2003 Plan. The table also identifies which projects are recommended for inclusion in the 2010-2015 TIP. Table 6-4.

of Transportation WSF Washington State Ferries WTP Washington Transportation Plan Packet Page 108 of 487 Table of Contents September 2009 ix Glossary Access The ability to enter a freeway or roadway via an on-ramp or other entry point. Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) A federal act that was passed in 1990 and amended in 2008. ADA requires jurisdictions to provide accessible sidewalks primarily through the installation of ADA-compliant sidewalk ramps. The design requirements address various areas of concern such as curb alignment with crosswalks, narrower sidewalk width, obstacles such as utility poles, placement of the sidewalk adjacent to the curb, or the slope of the ramps. Deficiencies in any of these areas could render a sidewalk or sidewalk ramp to be unsafe or inaccessible for the handicapped, or those who generally have difficulty walking. Arterial A major street that primarily serves through traffic, but also provides access to abutting properties. Arterials are often divided into principal and minor classifications depending on the number of lanes, connections made, volume of traffic, nature of traffic, speeds, interruptions (access functions), and length. Average Daily Traffic (ADT) The average number of vehicles that travel on a roadway on a typical day. Capacity The maximum sustained traffic flow of a transportation facility under prevailing traffic and roadway conditions in a specified direction. Capital Improvement Program (CIP) A long-range plan established by a city or county that encompasses its vision and future needs for capital facilities, including fire, police, utilities, and transportation. The CIP also establishes the jurisdiction’s project priorities and funding methods. Commute trip reduction (CTR) Efforts related to reducing the proportion of trips made in single- occupancy vehicles during peak commuting hours. CTR efforts may include carpooling, telecommuting, compressed work weeks, or using alternative modes to get to work (e.g. walking or biking). Washington State’s CTR efforts are coordinated through WSDOT and local governments in counties with the highest levels of automobile-related air pollution and traffic congestion. Qualified employers in these counties are required by law to develop a commuter program designed to achieve reductions in vehicle trips. Packet Page 109 of 487 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds x concurrency A requirement established by the Washington State Growth Management Act that adequate infrastructure be planned and financed to support a jurisdiction’s adopted future land use plan. For transportation, adequacy is measured by the impact on a jurisdiction’s roadway and/or intersection LOS. If an impact is anticipated to cause the adopted LOS standard to be exceeded, then the jurisdiction must have a strategy in place to increase capacity or manage demand (or a financial plan to put that strategy in place) within 6 years of the transportation impact. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) A major agency of the United States Department of Transportation responsible for ensuring that America’s roads and highways continue to be the safest and most technologically up-to-date. Functional classification A roadway category that is based on the types of trips that occur on the roadway, the roadway’s basic purpose, and the level of traffic that the roadway carries. The functional classification of a roadway can range from a freeway to principal arterial to minor arterial to collector to local access. Growth Management Act (GMA) Adopted by the Washington State Legislature in 1990, and subsequently amended to require all cities and counties in the state to do some long-range comprehensive planning. Requirements are more extensive for the largest and fastest-growing counties and cities in the state. Such comprehensive plans must address several required topics, including but not limited to land use, transportation, capital facilities, utilities, housing, etc. The GMA requirements also include guaranteeing the consistency of transportation and capital facilities plans with land use plans. Highways of Statewide Significance Highways identified by the Washington State Transportation Commission that provide significant statewide travel and economic linkages. Level of service (LOS) A measure of how well a roadway or local signalized intersection operates. For roadways, LOS is a measure of traffic congestion based on volume-to-capacity ratios. For local intersections, LOS is based on how long it takes a typical vehicle to clear the intersection. Other criteria also may be used to gauge the operating performance of transit, non-motorized, and other transportation modes. Local Improvement District (LID) Special assessment district in which infrastructure improvements, such as water, sewer, stormwater, or transportation system improvements, will benefit primarily the property owners in the district. Packet Page 110 of 487 Table of Contents September 2009 xi Traffic calming The combination of physical measures and educational efforts to alter driver behavior and improve conditions for non-motorized street users. Physical measures may include bulb-out curb extensions, chicanes, or traffic circles, among other things. Educational efforts may include pavement markings or increased police enforcement. Transportation Analysis Zone (TAZ) Areas with similar land use characteristics that are used in travel demand models to assess traffic conditions and operations. Transportation Benefit District (TBD) A geographic area designated by a jurisdiction that is a means to funding transportation improvement projects; funding sources can include vehicle license fees, property taxes or sales taxes. The City of Edmonds has already enacted a $20 vehicle license fee. Transportation Demand Management (TDM) A set of strategies intended to maximize the efficiency of the transportation network by reducing demand on the system. Examples of TDM strategies are encouraging commuting via bus, rail, bicycle, or walking; managing the available parking supply; or creating a compressed work week. Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) A long-range (6 years) plan established by a city or county that results from the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) process. The TIP establishes the jurisdiction’s transportation deficiencies, project priorities, and possible funding methods. Transportation System Management (TSM) A coordinated approach to the construction, preservation, maintenance, and operations of the transportation network with the goal of maximizing efficiency, safety, and reliability. These activities include making intersection and signal improvements, constructing turn lanes, improving signage and pavement markings, and collecting data to monitor system performance. Travel Demand Forecasting Methods for estimating the desire for travel by potential users of the transportation system, including the number of travelers, the time of day, travel mode, and travel routes. Washington Transportation Plan (WTP) A long-range (20 years) statewide transportation plan adopted by the Washington Transportation Commission. The WTP describes existing transportation conditions in the state, and outlines future transportation needs. Packet Page 111 of 487 Packet Page 112 of 487 September 2009 1-1 Chapter 1. Introduction The purpose of the Comprehensive Transportation Plan (Transportation Plan) is to guide the development of multimodal surface transportation within the City of Edmonds (City) in a manner consistent with the City’s adopted transportation goals, objectives, and policies (presented in Chapter 2). The Transportation Plan serves as the transportation element of the City of Edmonds Comprehensive Plan (Comprehensive Plan). It identifies transportation infrastructure and services needed to support projected land use within the city through the year 2025, in compliance with the State of Washington Growth Management Act (GMA) [RCW 36.70A, 1990, as amended]. Based upon existing and projected future land use and travel patterns, the Transportation Plan describes street, walkway, bikeway, and public transportation infrastructure and services, and provides an assessment of existing and projected future transportation needs. It provides a long- range Capital Improvement Program (CIP) that establishes transportation priorities, addresses transportation deficiencies and guides the development of the six-year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The Transportation Plan identifies safety and mobility improvements for streets, walkways, bikeways, neighborhood traffic control, and public transportation, as well as preservation, maintenance, and implementation strategies that include concurrency management and financing. The Transportation Plan establishes direction for development of programs and facilities that address the transportation needs for the city through the year 2025. Purpose of the Transportation Comprehensive Plan Based upon the directives of the City’s adopted transportation goals and policies, as well as the requirements of the GMA, the objectives of the Transportation Plan are as follows: ƒAddress the total transportation needs of the city through 2025. Packet Page 113 of 487 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 1-2 ƒIdentify transportation improvements necessary to provide a system that will function safely and efficiently through the year 2025. ƒEnsure consistency with the land use adopted in the adopted 2008 Comprehensive Plan. ƒContribute to economic growth within the city through an efficient transportation system. ƒProvide cost-effective accessibility for people, goods, and services. ƒProvide travel alternatives that are safe and have convenient access to employment, education, and recreational opportunities for urban and suburban residents in the area. ƒIdentify funding needs for identified transportation improvements and the appropriate participation by both the public and private sectors of the local economy. ƒComply with the requirements of the GMA and State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). ƒSupport improvements to major transportation routes outside the city that will reduce through-traffic in the community. Plan Background Reports, Plans and Records This Transportation Plan integrates the analysis and results of numerous plans and prior reports that have been completed for the City. Information was obtained from the following sources: ƒCity of Edmonds Transportation Element. 2002. Previous transportation plan that established citywide transportation goals and policies and infrastructure and service needs, which was updated for this Plan. ƒCity of Edmonds Comprehensive Plan. 2008. Current GMA plan that presents the City’s planned future land use through 2025, and plans and policies established by the City to support that land use. ƒSnohomish County Buildable Lands Report. 2008.

Land Use Review The Edmonds Comprehensive Plan and ECDC guides development and growth within the city. Future transportation infrastructure and service needs identified in this Transportation Plan were established by evaluating the level and pattern of travel demand generated by planned future land use. Future population and employment projections for the region are established by the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC). Snohomish County works with local jurisdictions to determine the expected distribution of population and employment between cities and unincorporated county. The transportation analysis presented in this Transportation Plan is based upon these future population and employment projections. Within the City, the allocation of future housing and jobs growth was based upon the County’s “buildable lands” assessment (Snohomish County 2008), which estimates available land capacity for future development, according to the amount of vacant and under-developed (based upon zoning) land. Table 1-1 summarizes the existing and projected future land use growth, based upon these assessments. Table 1-1.

In addition to requiring consistency with the Land Use Element, the GMA requires that the following components be included in transportation elements: ƒInventory of facilities by mode of transport; ƒLevel of service assessment to aid in determining the existing and future operating conditions of the facilities; ƒProposed actions to bring these deficient facilities into compliance; ƒTraffic forecasts, based upon planned future land use; ƒIdentification of infrastructure needs to meet current and future demands; ƒFunding analysis for needed improvements, as well as possible additional funding sources; ƒIdentification of intergovernmental coordination efforts; and ƒIdentification of demand management strategies as available. [RCW 36.70A.070(6)] In addition to these elements, GMA mandates that development cannot occur unless adequate supporting infrastructure either already exists or is built concurrent with development. In addition to capital facilities, infrastructure may include transit service, Transportation Demand Management (TDM) strategies, or Transportation System Management (TSM) strategies. Under the GMA, local governments and agencies must annually prepare and adopt six-year TIPs. These programs must be consistent with the transportation element of the local comprehensive plan, and other state and regional plans and policies as outlined below. Washington Transportation Plan The Washington Transportation Plan (WTP) presents the State’s strategy for developing budgets and implementing over a 20-year planning horizon. The current WTP was adopted by the Transportation Commission in 2006 and covers the period 2007 to 2026. The WTP contains an overview of the current conditions of the statewide transportation system, and an assessment of the State’s future transportation investment needs. The WTP policy framework sets the course for meeting those future needs. The WTP Prioritized Investment Guidelines are as follows: 1. Preservation 2. Safety 3. Economic Vitality Packet Page 116 of 487 Introduction September 2009 1-5 4. Mobility 5. Environmental Quality and Health PSRC Plans The PSRC is the Regional Transportation Planning Organization for the area that includes Snohomish, King, Pierce, and Kitsap counties, and is responsible for overseeing six-year TIPs within the region. The PSRC works with local jurisdictions to establish regional transportation guidelines and principles, and certifies that the transportation-related provisions within local jurisdictions’ comprehensive plans are consistent with the Regional Transportation Plan and conform to GMA requirements. VISION 2040 VISION 2040 is comprised of the following four parts, developed to help guide the region as it experiences population and employment growth: ƒPart I: Sustainable environment framework – Provides the context for planning, development, and environmental management in the region. This framework describes the role that the environment plays – along with the benefits, challenges, and opportunities it provides – and how it affects prosperity and quality of life. ƒPart II: Regional Growth Strategy – Identifies an approach to promote a focused regional growth pattern. It builds on current growth management plans, and recommits the region to directing future development into the urban growth areas, while focusing new housing and jobs in cities and within a limited number of designated regional growth centers. Focusing growth in urban areas helps to protect natural resources and sensitive environmental areas, encourages a strong economy, provides more housing opportunities for all economic segments of the population, improves regional jobs-housing balance, and minimizes rural residential growth. The Regional Growth Strategy describes the roles of all communities in implementing VISION 2040. ƒPart III: Multicounty planning policies –Adopted under the state’s Growth Management Act, the policies are divided into six major sections: Environment, Development Patterns, Housing, Economy, Transportation, and Public Services. The policies are designed to help achieve the Regional Growth Strategy and address region-wide issues within a collaborative and equitable framework. They provide guidance and direction to regional, county, and local governments on such topics as setting priorities for transportation investment, stimulating economic development, planning for open space, making city and town centers more hospitable for transit and walking, and improving transportation safety and mobility. Multicounty planning policies lay the foundation for securing the necessary funding for services and facilities, and provide direction for more efficient use of public and private investments. Each policy section contains actions that lay out steps the region will need to take to achieve VISION 2040. Packet Page 117 of 487 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 1-6 ƒPart IV: Implementation – Describes several programs and processes, including a monitoring program that includes tracking action on agreed-upon steps, measuring progress over time, and determining whether the region is achieving desired results. This section includes specific measures that relate to the multicounty planning policies. The multicounty planning policies provide direction and guidance for maintenance, safety, clean transportation, supporting the regional growth strategy, and optimizing travel options. Policies are provided that relate to safety and security, reducing pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, increasing energy efficiency and the use of alternative energy, developing roadways as “complete streets” that accommodate different modes of travel, and advancing alternatives to driving alone. (Puget Sound Regional Council 2008) The City’s next major update to the Comprehensive Plan (due in 2011) will need to demonstrate how it is aligning with the VISION 2040 Regional Growth Strategy, including expanded provisions for addressing health and the built environment, design, and environmental planning (including climate change). The transportation element will be revisited at that time, to ensure consistency with the City’s update to its future land use plan and the VISION 2040 provisions. However, the updates reflected in this Transportation Plan, particularly the increased emphasis on non-motorized elements and alternative transportation modes, are consistent with the policy direction that VISION 2040 provides. Destination 2030 The central Puget Sound region’s current long-range plan, Destination 2030, addresses long-term transportation strategies and investments in King, Pierce, Snohomish, and Kitsap Counties. Adopted in 2001, Destination 2030 was developed to maintain and expand the regional vision of a growth management strategy, supporting compact urban areas connected by a high capacity transportation system. Destination 2030 focuses on preserving and managing the existing transportation system and ensuring the development of a balanced multi-modal transportation system that includes choices for private vehicles, public transit, ride sharing, walking and bicycling, and freight modes. Destination 2030 coordinates the diverse ambitions of the region’s counties, cities, towns, and neighborhoods, and emphasizes the connection between land use and transportation to reduce long-term infrastructure costs and provide better links between home, work, and other activities. Destination 2030 meets requirements governing Regional Transportation Plans in central Puget Sound. Destination 2030 was updated in 2007, satisfying new requirements and preparing for more extensive plan updates in 2010. The updates address emerging transportation trends and enhance the safety, security and special needs transportation aspects of Destination 2030. The improvements also add provisions related to congestion management, commute trip reduction, and environmental mitigation. Packet Page 118 of 487 Introduction September 2009 1-7 Transportation 2040 PSRC is updating the current regional transportation plan, Destination 2030. The new plan, Transportation 2040, will extend the region’s long-range transportation vision to the year 2040 and respond to the recently updated regional growth strategy, VISION 2040. The plan is expected to be adopted in 2010 (Puget Sound Regional Council 2009). Six alternatives—the baseline plus five action alternatives—have been created during the initial planning process and each includes a funding strategy. The alternatives consider two related approaches to transportation investment: improving efficiency and strategic expansion. Improving efficiency means that we make better use of the system to move people and goods and that we attempt to reduce the demands on the system during peak hour travel. Efficiency also depends on better use of land to reduce the need to drive and to increase bicycle and pedestrian options. The updated plan will continue to meet federal and state transportation planning requirements (Puget Sound Regional Council 2009). Snohomish County Countywide Planning Policies The Snohomish County Countywide Planning Policies are written policies used to establish a countywide framework from which the county and cities’ comprehensive plans are developed. The Countywide Planning Policies were originally adopted in 1994 and were last amended in 2008. Future amendments will be in response to changes in the countywide growth strategy, changes in the GMA, decisions of the Growth Management Hearings Board, and issues involving local plan implementation. Countywide Planning Policies include the following: x Policies to implement urban growth areas; x Policies for the promotion of contiguous and orderly development and provision of urban services; x Policies for rural land use; x Policies for housing; x Policies for the siting of public capital facilities of a countywide or statewide nature; x Policies for economic development and employment; x Fiscal impact analysis; x Policies for transportation. Transportation policies are intended to guide transportation planning by the county and cities within Snohomish County and to provide the basis for regional coordination with WSDOT and transportation operating agencies. The policies ensure that the countywide transportation systems are adequate to serve the level of land development that is allowed and forecasted. Packet Page 119 of 487 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 1-8 Edmonds Comprehensive Plan The most current update of the City’s Comprehensive Plan was adopted in December 2008. The Comprehensive Plan has the following purposes: ƒTo serve as the basis for municipal policy on development and to provide guiding principles and objectives for the development of regulations. ƒTo promote the public health, safety, order, convenience, prosperity and the general welfare and values of the community. ƒTo anticipate and influence the orderly and coordinated development of land and building use of the city and its environs, and conserve and restore natural beauty and other natural resources. ƒTo encourage coordinated development and discourage piecemeal, spot or strip zoning and inharmonious subdividing. ƒTo facilitate adequate provisions for public services such as transportation, police and fire protection, water supply, sewage treatment, and parks. (City of Edmonds 2008) The Comprehensive Plan serves as the City’s primary growth management tool. A community such as Edmonds, with attractive natural features, a pleasant residential atmosphere and proximity to a large urban center, is subject to constant growth pressures. Growth management is intended to provide a long-range strategy guiding how the City will develop and how services will be provided. GMA requires that jurisdictions plan to accommodate housing and employment forecasts for the next 20 years within Urban Growth Areas. The City of Edmonds’ share of regional growth by the year 2025 is 5,420 additional residents (approximately 3,079 residential units) compared to 2000. By 2025, total population is expected to reach 44,880 residents. An extensive public process was conducted for the 2004 comprehensive plan update. It included numerous public workshops, open houses, and televised work sessions both at the Planning Board and City Council. Three public hearings were held at the Planning Board and two public hearings were held at the City Council. The Comprehensive Transportation Plan serves as the transportation element of the City’s Comprehensive Plan. As discussed in the VISION 2040 discussion above, the City’s next major update to the Comprehensive Plan is due in 2011, and will demonstrate alignment with the VISION 2040 Regional Growth Strategy, including expanded provisions for addressing health and the built environment, design, environmental planning and climate change. Packet Page 120 of 487 Introduction September 2009 1-9 Public Participation The Comprehensive Transportation Plan has included a significant amount of community involvement at all stages of the planning and development process, starting with the original Plan development in 1995, and continuing in the major Plan updates that have been completed in 2002 and 2009. Original 1995 Transportation Plan When the Transportation Element was initially created in 1995, citizens were encouraged to participate through completion of questionnaires and involvement in public open houses. In addition, a six-member Citizen Advisory Committee was established to oversee all aspects of the plan as it was developed. The project was launched with a brochure mailed to each of the approximately 14,000 residences and businesses in the city. The brochure explained the purpose of the Transportation Plan, the planning process, the components of the plan, and public participation opportunities. The brochure also contained a mail-back questionnaire through which respondents could identify problems with congestion, speeding and safety, as well as any other traffic problems that they perceived. Approximately 150 citizens provided input by returning the questionnaires. 2002 Transportation Plan Update For the 2002 update of the Transportation Plan, the City implemented a community involvement strategy that included public open houses and the participation of the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) and Citizens’ Advisory Committee (CAC). Two public open houses provided a forum for the citizens to identify high priority transportation issues, and to review and provide comments on various components of the proposed Transportation Plan. Participants in the open houses provided suggestions for improving roadway infrastructure (i.e. signals, pavement marking, roadway width), transit, and pedestrian access; and identified issues related to roadway connectivity, speeding and cut-through traffic (with support for traffic calming), and access issues for disabled citizens. Two advisory committees, the TAC and CAC, were formed to oversee the 2002 Transportation Element Update. The TAC was made up in part by representatives from various City departments, including Engineering, Planning, Public Works, Parks, Fire, Police, and the School Districts. In addition, the TAC membership included representatives from WSDOT, Snohomish County, Washington State Ferries, Community Transit, Sound Transit, and the neighboring City of Lynnwood. Membership in the CAC included representatives from Bicycle Facilities, Parking, Development, as well as a wide variety of neighborhoods and corridors throughout the city. Packet Page 121 of 487 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 1-10 In addition to the jurisdictions represented on the TAC, the following agencies reviewed the Transportation Plan: the City of Mountlake Terrace, the City of Shoreline, the Town of Woodway, and PSRC. 2009 Comprehensive Transportation Plan Feedback obtained from open houses, citizen committee involvement, and intergovernmental coordination was very useful to the initial development and subsequent revision of the Transportation Plan, greatly enhancing its effectiveness. These efforts led to more realistic assessments of existing conditions and impacts of forecasted growth, as well as the identification of appropriate measures to address both current and future conditions. Public Open Houses Three public open houses were held at Edmonds City Hall to inform the community about the Comprehensive Transportation Plan and gather comments on transportation improvement priorities. The first open house was held on June 19, 2008. The purpose of this meeting was to introduce the project to citizens, share the existing transportation inventories and existing conditions analyses that had been completed, and gather input from participants on the transportation issues they felt are most important. The second meeting was held on March 5, 2009. The purpose of this meeting was to share the results of future conditions analyses, present the preliminary list of recommended transportation projects, present that preliminary cost and revenue projections, and solicit citizen input on project funding priorities. The third meeting was held on June 30, 2009. The purpose of this meeting was to share the recommended transportation projects, which had been refined to incorporate the feedback gathered on the preliminary list, and also to discuss the financial outlook for transportation capital projects and solicit citizen input on potential funding strategies. Each meeting began with a presentation by project staff, providing an overview of project objectives, and specifics such as the existing conditions assessment, potential transportation improvement projects, anticipated costs and available revenues, and potential funding opportunities. Following each presentation, participants were invited to view display boards and fact sheets, talk with project staff, and submit comment cards. Citizen comments helped guide the city staff to identify project priorities and viable funding sources, and finalize the recommended Transportation Plan. The public open houses were publicized through notice in the City newsletter, City website, advertisement on the local government channel, and meeting notification in the local newspaper. Public participation materials used for this update process are included in Appendix A. Packet Page 122 of 487 Introduction September 2009 1-11 Citizen Advisory Transportation Committee The City of Edmonds Citizen Advisory Transportation Committee is comprised of eight citizens who meet monthly with City engineering staff. The purpose of the Committee is to: ƒMonitor and make recommendations relative to motorized and non-motorized transportation issues, systems and funding; ƒContribute input to updates of the City Comprehensive Transportation Plan and monitor the efforts to implement the improvements detailed in the Plan; and ƒEnhance communication with the public with regard to transportation needs. The Transportation Committee provided transportation recommendations for updates reflected in this Transportation Plan. City staff worked with Transportation Committee members throughout the Plan development to update the City’s transportation goals and policies, discuss Plan elements, and determine how best to produce a balanced multimodal plan. Walkway Committee The Edmonds Walkway Committee is comprised of 12 citizen volunteers, who walk frequently and live throughout the city. Their role is to evaluate criteria such as safety and access to schools and parks; prioritize proposed sidewalk project based on the criteria; and to provide feedback and recommendations related to the City Comprehensive Walkway Plan. The Walkway Committee met monthly from March 2008 through September 2008 and provided walkway recommendations presented in Chapter 4 of this Transportation Plan. Edmonds Bike Group The long-standing group meets monthly to discuss bicycle transportation issues. Membership includes over 50 residents, with about 10 members who regularly attend monthly group meetings. Members represent Edmonds and Woodway and are interested in improving citywide bicycle infrastructure and conditions for bicycle travel. The Bike Group helped establish three bicycle loop trails as well as a bike map indicating existing local bicycle lanes and where lanes should be added as part of future roadway improvement projects. The Bike Group’s recommendations are also included in Chapter 4 of this Transportation Plan. Intergovernmental Coordination The following agencies reviewed this Comprehensive Transportation Plan: WSDOT, PSRC, Community Transit, Snohomish County, City of Mountlake Terrace, City of Shoreline, and Town of Woodway. Packet Page 123 of 487 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 1-12 Overview of the Transportation Plan Elements This Comprehensive Transportation Plan includes the following elements: ƒChapter 2: Goals, Objectives, and Policies – Presents the transportation goals, objectives, and policies that guide the assessments of existing and future conditions, and the development of the Recommended Transportation Plan. ƒChapter 3: Street System – Provides an inventory of existing streets, existing and projected future traffic volumes, assessment of existing and projected future roadway operations, safety assessment, standards for different street types, and recommended improvements to address safety and mobility needs. ƒChapter 4: Non-Motorized System – Provides an inventory of existing walkways and bikeways, assessment of needs, strategy for compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and recommended improvements to address pedestrian and bicycle mobility and safety. ƒChapter 5: Transit and Transportation Demand Management – Provides an inventory of existing transit facilities and service, including buses, rail and ferries; and presents strategies to support transit and commute trip reduction. ƒChapter 6: Implementation and Financial Plan – Provides a summary of the projects, project prioritization, total costs, and financial strategies and projected revenue for recommended improvements through 2025. Packet Page 124 of 487 September 2009 2-1 Chapter 2. Goals, Objectives, and Policies Assessments of existing and future conditions, as well as development of the Transportation Plan, are guided by transportation goals, objectives, and policies developed by the City. A major update of the goals, objectives, and policies took place as part of the 2002 update of the Transportation Element, under the direction of the Citizen Advisory and Technical Advisory Committees. The goals, objectives, and policies were further refined as part of the 2009 Transportation Plan, under the direction of the Citizen Advisory Transportation Committee. Goals, objectives and policies are defined under the following major categories: ƒState and Regional Context ƒStreets and Highways ƒPedestrian and Bicycle Transportation ƒPublic Transportation ƒStreetscape ƒCapital Facilities ƒTraffic Calming ƒAir Quality and Climate Change Under each category, the following information is provided: A.General consists of a general discussion of the context, issues and priorities behind the development of the goals, objectives and policies for that category. B.Goals are generalized statements which broadly relate the physical environment to values, but for which no test for fulfillment can be readily applied. C.Objectives are specific measurable statements related to the attainment of goals. Packet Page 125 of 487 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 2-2 D. Under each objective,Policies are listed that provide specific direction for meeting the objectives. The transportation element of the Comprehensive Plan is guided by the following transportation goals and policies, initially developed for the 1995 Transportation Element and updated in 2002 and 2009. Inevitably, conflict will occasionally arise between a transportation policy and real- world constraints and opportunities, or even between two policies. After the specifics of the situation and the purpose of the policies are fully understood, the conflict will be resolved using the best judgment of the City Council, as advised by City staff and the Citizen Advisory Transportation Committee. The following sub-sections define each of the Transportation Policies to guide the development of transportation in the city, within the broader framework of the Goals and Objectives. 15.25.000 State and Regional Context A.General: The combination of an increasing population, demand for transportation, and ever tightening limits on funding has led to a need to plan for future transportation systems that are more efficient movers of people and goods. Public transportation is expected to play an increasing role in the transportation system, and state and regional priorities are being shifted to encourage this goal. For this strategy to work, however, it also requires a commitment to maintaining existing transportation networks and investments, and to providing connections between different modes of travel. B.State Goal: Encourage efficient multi-modal transportation systems that are based on regional priorities and coordinated with county and city comprehensive plans. Regional Goal: Strategically invest in a variety of mobility options and demand management to support the regional system of activity centers. 15.25.010 Streets and Highways A.General. The street system in Edmonds is established on the Official Street Map and Arterial System Map. New right-of-way additions occur primarily in subdivisions. Within the city, three state highways, rail, and ferry facilities serve regional travel. A significant challenge facing the City is to bring substandard streets to City standards by providing such facilities as underground utilities, sidewalks, bikeways and landscaping. Key intersections that are operating at or beyond capacity must be improved. Feedback from citizens who participated in public meetings has clearly indicated concern about the types of potential transportation improvements, and the impact of improvements on existing neighborhoods. By placing an emphasis on providing facilities for bicycles, pedestrians, and buses, streetscapes can become a friendlier environment for all users. Packet Page 126 of 487 Goals, Objectives, and Policies September 2009 2-3 Speed and noise can be problems where arterial streets adjoin residential neighborhoods. Land use changes frequently occur where major arterial streets are improved. B.Goal I: Develop transportation systems that complement the land use, parks, cultural, and sustainability elements of the Comprehensive Plan. Goal II: Provide transportation services that enhance the safety of the community, maximize the use of the existing street system, and maintain the unique character of the city and its neighborhoods. Goal III: Implement transportation improvements in a way that minimizes adverse impacts on the natural environment, air quality, climate change, and energy consumption. Goal IV: Develop transportation improvements that support commuting in a way that discourages the use of local streets. Goal V: Prioritize and finance transportation improvements for the greatest public benefit, emphasizing transit, demand management, and maintenance of current facilities. Goal VI: Take a leadership role in coordinating the transportation actions of both local and non-local agencies. Seek to promote creative, coordinated solutions that do the following: ƒMeet transportation service needs; ƒLink local transportation networks with regional, state and national transportation systems; ƒIncrease use of public transit and non-motorized transportation; ƒReduce congestion; ƒReduce energy consumption; ƒProvide solutions consistent with the City’s land use and cultural goals, and sustainability initiatives. C.Objective 1: Community Standards. The goals of the Comprehensive Plan, the needs and desires of its citizens, the integrity of its neighborhoods, shopping areas, parks, recreation facilities, schools and other public facilities are the criteria for measuring the effectiveness and success of transportation programs and improvements. Policy 1.1 Locate and design streets and highways to meet the demands of both existing and projected land uses as provided for in the Comprehensive Plan. Policy 1.2 Locate and design street and highway improvements to respect the residential character of the community and its quality living environment. Policy 1.3 Minimize the adverse impact of street and highway improvements on the natural environment. Packet Page 127 of 487 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 2-4 Policy 1.4 Design streets to minimize environmental impacts on established neighborhoods. Policy 1.5 Develop roadway design standards with sufficient flexibility to reflect the differences in character and function of different roadways. Objective 2: Conservation. Streets, sidewalks and bikeways should be located, designed and improved in a manner that will conserve land, materials and energy. New streets must meet minimum City standards and code requirements. Streets and highways should be integrated into the total transportation system to facilitate the development of public transportation and increase mobility while reducing travel time and costs of construction and maintenance, in accordance with the following policies: Policy 2.1 Design streets with the minimum pavement areas needed, to reduce impervious surfaces. Policy 2.2 Include pedestrian and bicycle elements in roadway improvements to encourage energy conservation. Policy 2.3 Utilize innovative materials where feasible to reduce impervious surfaces. Policy 2.4 Design arterial and collector streets as complete streets that serve automobile, transit, pedestrian and bicycle travel. Objective 3: Design Standards. Design requirements for streets and alleys should be related to needs and desires of the local community within reasonable guidelines for safety, function, aesthetic appearance and cost. Each new street improvement should be scaled to the density, land use, and overall function that the roadway is designed to serve, in accordance with the following policies: Policy 3.1 Design local residential streets to prevent or discourage use as shortcuts for vehicle through-traffic. Coordinate local traffic control measures with the affected neighborhood. Policy 3.2 Periodically review functional classifications of city streets, and adjust the classifications when appropriate. Policy 3.3 Provide on-street parking as a secondary street function, only in specifically designated areas such as in the downtown business district and in residential areas where onsite parking is limited. Streets should not be designed to provide on-street parking as a primary function, particularly in areas with frequent transit service Policy 3.4 Encourage parking on one side rather than both sides of streets with narrow rights-of-way. Packet Page 128 of 487 Goals, Objectives, and Policies September 2009 2-5 Policy 3.5 Design streets to accommodate vehicles which use the street most frequently, rather than large vehicles which may use the street only occasionally. Policy 3.6 Relate required street widths to the function and operating standards for the street. Policy 3.7 Include analysis of geological, topographical, and hydrological conditions in street design. Policy 3.8 Encourage landscaping on residential streets to preserve existing trees and vegetation, increase open spaces, and decrease impervious surfaces. Landscaping may be utilized to provide visual and physical barriers but should be carefully designed not to interfere with motorists’ sight distance and traffic, pedestrian, bicycle, and wheel chair safety. Landscaping improvements should take maintenance requirements into consideration. Policy 3.9 Encourage underground placements of utilities at the time of extensive street improvement. Policy 3.10 Encourage placement of underground conduit for future installation of fiber optic cable at the time of extensive street improvement. Policy 3.11 Design street improvements so as not to impair the safe and efficient movement of pedestrians and bicycle traffic. Policy 3.12 Restrict access between non-arterial streets and the SR 99 commercial corridor to the extent necessary to prevent nonresidential traffic from entering residential areas, and to maintain efficient traffic flow and turning movements on SR 99. Policy 3.13 Design street improvements to encourage downtown traffic circulation to flow in and around commercial blocks, promoting customer convenience and reducing congestion. Separate through-traffic from local traffic circulation to encourage and support customer access. Policy 3.14 Carefully review parking requirements for downtown development proposals; to promote the development while still ensuring adequate balance between parking supply and demand. Policy 3.15 Provide access between private property and the public street system that is safe and convenient, and incorporates the following considerations: a. Limit and provide access to the street network in a manner consistent with the function and purpose of each roadway. Encourage the preparation of comprehensive access plans and consolidation of access points in commercial and residential areas through shared driveways and local access streets. Packet Page 129 of 487 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 2-6 b. Require new development to consolidate and minimize access points along all state highways, principal arterials, and minor arterials. c. Place a high priority on consolidating existing access points onto all arterial streets in the city. This effort should be coordinated with local business and property owners in conjunction with improvements to the arterial system and redevelopment of adjacent land parcels. d. Design the street system so that the majority of direct residential access is provided via local streets. e. For access onto state highways, implement Chapter 468-52 of the Washington Administrative Code (WAC), Highway Access Management -- Access Control Classification System and Standards. Policy 3.16 Encourage underground parking as part of new development. Objective 4: Circulation. Circulation and connectivity throughout the city should be via the system of arterial and collector streets, bikeways and pedestrian paths. Local streets should be utilized for local property access and designed in a manner to discourage cut- through vehicular traffic. Policy 4.1 Encourage the efficient movement of people and goods through an effective and inter-connected collector and arterial street system. Policy 4.2 The use of dead end streets and culs-de-sac should be avoided. When unavoidable, the length of a dead end street, including cul-de-sac, should be limited to 600 feet, with a minimum 35-foot radius to back of curb on the cul-de-sac. Policy 4.32 Complete the arterial sidewalk system according to the following priority list: a. Arterial roadways without sidewalks or shoulders on which transit service is provided; b. Arterial roadways without sidewalks or shoulders on which transit service is not provided; c. Arterial roadways with shoulders too narrow or in or poor walking condition for pedestrians; d. Arterial roadways with adequate shoulders for pedestrians but without sidewalks; and e. The remainder of the arterial roadway system (e.g. roads with sidewalks along one side, or roads with sidewalks in disrepair). Policy 4.43 Design streets to accommodate emergency service vehicles. Packet Page 130 of 487 Goals, Objectives, and Policies September 2009 2-7 Policy 4.54 Coordinate traffic signals located within ½ mile of each other to decrease delay and improve operations. Objective 5: New Development. Improve traffic safety and reduce congestion through appropriate street design and site layout during the development process. Policy 5.1 Require new development to dedicate adequate street rights-of-way for public streets as specified by City Standards. Policy 5.2 Use public rights-of-way only for public purposes. The private use of a public right-of-way is prohibited unless expressly granted by the City. Policy 5.3 Acquire easements and/or development rights in lieu of rights-of-way for installation of some smaller facilities such as sidewalks and bikeways. Policy 5.4 Convert private streets to public streets only when: a. The City Council has determined that a public benefit would result. b. The street has been improved to the appropriate City public street standard. c. The City Engineer has determined that conversion will have minimal effect on the City’s street maintenance budget. d. In the case that the conversion is initiated by the owner(s) of the road, that the owner(s) finance the survey and legal work required for the conversion. 15.25.020 Pedestrian and Bicycle Transportation A.General. Walking and bicycling are beneficial forms of recreation, transportation, and a means of maintaining physical fitness, in addition to an excellent means of exploring the community. Carefully targeted investments in the city’s non-motorized network have the potential to provide an enhanced level of accessibility and mobility to residents at a relatively low cost. With geographically strategic investments in facilities such as sidewalks, crosswalks, bicycle paths and bicycle lanes, many short trips that are currently taken by car could be shifted to walking or bicycling trips. Recreational walkways are discussed in the City of Edmonds Comprehensive Walkway Plan (summarized in Chapter 4 of this Transportation Plan) and incorporate existing sidewalks and natural trails. Sidewalks exist on many major streets but some improvements are needed as well as addition of these facilities on several important routes. Although bicycling has rapidly expanded as a recreational activity in the community, it is also an important means of transportation. For many people, it provides the only available form of local transportation. The Bikeway Comprehensive Plan (summarized in Chapter 4 of this Transportation Plan) provides guidance and prioritizes bicycle improvements throughout the city. Packet Page 131 of 487 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 2-8 Planning for and implementing a connected system of walkways and bikeways is a way to promote community health, as recognized in the “Community Sustainability Element” of the Comprehensive Plan currently being developed by the City. B.Goal VII: Improve non-motorized transportation facilities and services. C.Objective 6: Sidewalks. Provide safe, efficient and attractive pedestrian facilities as an essential element of the city circulation and recreation system. Safe walkways must be an integral part of the City’s street and recreation plans to encourage and promote walking for both transportation and recreational purposes.

The City is well served by public transportation providers including Community Transit, Sound Transit, Amtrak, Washington State Ferries and the Edmonds School District. Transportation options include bus, van, ferry, and rail. Public transportation provides a range of benefits for our community: ƒPrimary mobility for those who cannot drive, including many of our youth, seniors, and citizens with disabilities ƒMobility options for people who choose not to drive – either to avoid congestion, save money, or support the environment ƒPreserves the quality of our environment by conserving energy, supporting better air quality, and reducing congestion on our roadways Community Transit is the primary public transit provider in Edmonds, offering local and commuter bus services, specialized door-to-door transportation for persons with disabilities, commuter vanpools, carpool matching, park-and-ride lots, transportation consulting for employers, training programs for youth, seniors and persons with disabilities, and overall customer assistance. Sound Transit (Commuter Rail Station) provides rail and bus service between Everett, Seattle, and Tacoma. King County Metro does not provide local service within the city, but connections are available between Community Transit and Metro routes at the Aurora Village Transit Center. Additionally, the Washington State Ferry system provides ferry service between Edmonds and the City of Kingston on the Olympic Peninsula; and Amtrak provides intercity rail service. The Edmonds School District provides bus service to schools. Additionally, some school bus service is provided by Community Transit. The location of the city along Puget Sound with the convergence of the state ferry terminal, passenger rail service, a highway of statewide significance SR 104, bus service, and a pedestrian and bicycle network, offers unique opportunities for coordinated service as the hub of a public transportation network. The potential for multi-modal transportation facilities should continue to be examined and evaluated. B.Goal VIII: The public transportation system should provide alternatives for transportation that enable all persons to have reasonable access to locations of employment, health care, education, and community business and recreational facilities. Packet Page 135 of 487 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 2-12 Goal IX: Enhance the movement of people, services and goods. Transportation system improvements should encourage the use of travel alternatives to the single occupancy vehicle. C.Objective 9: Operations.

Objective 11: Access. Provide safe and convenient pedestrian access to bus stops, and inter-modal transfer locations, the rail station, and the ferry terminal. Policy 11.1 Place priority on coordinating bus routes and bus stop sites in City plans for street lighting improvements. Policy 11.2 Place priority on corridors served by transit for sidewalk improvements, especially in locations that connect neighborhoods, parks, schools and businesses to bus stops. Sidewalks should also be a priority on connecting roads within 0.25 mile of a transit corridor. Policy 11.3 Include boarding pads at bus stop sites as part of sidewalk construction projects, to allow for shelters. Policy 11.4 Work with Community Transit to provide additional passenger shelters and benches at bus stops sites within Edmonds. Objective 12: Roadway Infrastructure. Provide a roadway network that supports the provision of public transportation within the city. Policy 12.1 Design Arterial and Collector roadways to accommodate buses and other modes of public transportation (including the use of high occupancy vehicle priority treatments, transit signal priority, queue bypass lanes, boarding pads and shelter pads, and transit-only lanes where appropriate). Policy 12.2 Coordinate with local public transit agencies and private transit providers regarding road closures or other events that may disrupt normal transit operations in order to minimize impacts to transit customers. 15.25.040 Streetscape A.General. The City is a place with unique character and beauty. The street system has a tremendous impact on the scenic quality of our community and should complement our setting, while supporting our neighborhoods. B.Goal X: Incorporate streetscape design in the development and redevelopment of city streets to enhance the scenic beauty of, and help preserve, our neighborhoods. The Edmonds Packet Page 138 of 487 Goals, Objectives, and Policies September 2009 2-15 Streetscape Plan (City of Edmonds 2006), including the Street Tree Plan, shall guide the development of these design standards, which need to also recognize the unique neighborhood characteristics. C.Objective 13: Design Standards. Develop design standards that result in an attractive street system consistent with the character of the city. Policy 13.1 Crosswalks should be eight feet wide. Policy 13.2 Streetlights should be the main light source for public streets, with the following minimum standards: a. The intersection of arterial and collector streets should have a minimum of two standard street lights with additional street lights placed at a maximum of 250-foot spacing between intersections; b. The intersection of residential local streets should have at least one standard street light; c. Streetlights and poles should be of a high design quality, with specifications guided by the Edmonds Streetscape Plan. Policy 13.3 Street trees should be installed at 50-foot intervals or one per lot whichever is greater. Plant materials should be specified by the City Parks Department and maintained in conformance with City policies. Care should be taken in both the selection and placement of landscaping materials to protect existing scenic views and vistas. 15.25.050 Capital Facilities, Transportation A.General. The following goals, objectives and policies address capital facility planning and financing for projects contained in the transportation element of the Edmonds Comprehensive Plan. These criteria will serve to guide agencies planning public capital facilities and services in Edmonds. B.Goal XI: Provide adequate transportation facilities concurrent with the impact of new development. Goal XII: Coordinate the City’s transportation element plans with state, county, and local agencies. Goal XIII: Maintain a six-year TIP as part of the capital facilities plan of the Comprehensive Plan. Goal XIV: Prepare and maintain a TIP that is financially feasible and financially constrained. Goal XV: Ensure development pays a proportionate cost of transportation improvements required to mitigate impacts associated with the development. Packet Page 139 of 487 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 2-16 Goal XVI: Locate and design transportation facilities in keeping with the community character, and to be compatible with surrounding land uses and the environment. C.Objective 14: Inventory. Identify and define the transportation facilities in the city. Policy 14.1 Maintain an inventory of existing transportation facilities owned or operated by the City and State within Edmonds; include the locations and capacities of such facilities and systems. Objective 15: Level of Service. Establish level of service (LOS) standards for City owned transportation facilities in Edmonds and coordinate with the State on LOS standards for state owned facilities. Policy 15.1 The Highway Capacity Manual (Transportation Research Board, Special Report 209) is the City’s recognized source for roadway LOS definition and analysis techniques. The quality of traffic operation is graded into one of six LOS designations, A through F, with LOS A representing the free flow traffic operation and LOS F representing the worst levels of traffic congestion. Policy 15.2 Establish LOS standards which (1) measure the LOS preferred by city residents, (2) that can be achieved and maintained for existing development and growth anticipated in the land use plan, and (3) are achievable with the TIP and Comprehensive Plan. Policy 15.3 Minimum LOS standards are established as follows. LOS is measured at intersections during a typical weekday PM peak hour, using analysis methods outlined in the Highway Capacity Manual (Transportation Research Board 2000). For intersections of roads with different functional classifications, the standard for the higher classification shall apply. Facility Standard City Streets Arterials: LOS D or better (except state routes); Collectors: LOS C or better. State Routes1 SR 99 north of SR 104; SR 524: LOS E or better. 1. State routes for which a standard are designated Highways of Regional Significance, and are subject to City concurrency requirements. State routes designated as Highways of Statewide Significance (SR 104; and SR 99 south of SR 104) are not subject to concurrency and thus no City standard is defined for these facilities. However, to monitor operations on Highways of Statewide Significance, the City identifies existing or potential future deficiencies if LOS D is exceeded. Policy 15.4 When a lower order roadway intersects with one of higher order, apply the LOS standard for the higher order roadway (e.g., when a collector and arterial street intersect, the LOS for the arterial street will apply). Policy 15.5 Use LOS standards to (1) determine the need for transportation facilities, and (2) test the adequacy of such facilities to serve proposed Packet Page 140 of 487 Goals, Objectives, and Policies September 2009 2-17 development. In addition, use LOS standards for City-owned transportation facilities to help develop the City’s annual budget and 6- year transportation improvements program. Policy 15.6 Reassess the TIP annually to ensure that transportation facilities needs, financing, and levels of service are consistent with the City’s land use plan. The annual update should be coordinated with the annual budget process, and the annual amendment of the Comprehensive Plan. Policy 15.7 Work toward development of a multi-modal LOS standard that considers transit and non-motorized operations as well as automobile operations. Objective 16: Transportation System Efficiency. Implement a variety of strategies that respond to the demands of growth on transportation facilities while maximizing the efficiency of the existing infrastructure. Policy 16.1 Ensure city transportation facilities and services are provided concurrent with new development or redevelopment to mitigate impacts created from such development. Road improvements may be funded with mitigation fees, and provided at the time of or within six years of development. Policy 16.2 Maximize efficiencies of existing transportation facilities, using techniques such as: ƒTransportation Demand Management ƒEncouraging development to use existing facilities ƒOther methods of improved efficiency. Policy 16.3 Provide additional transportation facility capacity when existing facilities are used to their maximum level of efficiency consistent with adopted LOS standards. Policy 16.4 Encourage development where adequate transportation facilities and services exist or can be provided in an efficient manner. Prioritize location of large trip generators (e.g. community centers, recreation facilities, shopping, entertainment, public facilities, etc.) within 0.25 mile of Transit Emphasis Corridors as identified in Community Transit’s Six Year Transit Development Plan and Long Range Transit Plan. Policy 16.5 Work with Community Transit to encourage ridesharing at employment centers. Objective 17: Coordination. Coordinate transportation planning and programming with state, regional, county, and local agencies Packet Page 141 of 487 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 2-18 Policy 17.1 Coordinate with non-City providers of transportation facilities and services on a joint program for maintaining adopted LOS standards, funding, and construction of capital improvements. Work in partnership with non-City transportation facility providers to prepare functional plans consistent with the City Comprehensive Plan. Policy 17.2 Regularly coordinate with WSDOT, Washington State Ferries, Community Transit, King County Metro, Snohomish County, the Town of Woodway, and the Cities of Mountlake Terrace, Lynnwood, Shoreline, and Mukilteo, to ensure levels of service for transportation facilities are compatible. Objective 18: Financing. Establish mechanisms to ensure that required transportation facilities are financially feasible. Policy 18.1 Base the financing plan for transportation facilities on estimates of current local revenues and external revenues that are reasonably anticipated to be received by the City. Policy 18.2 Finance the six-year TIP within the City's financial capacity to achieve a balance between available revenue and expenditures related to transportation facilities. If projected funding is inadequate to finance needed transportation facilities, based on adopted LOS standards and forecasted growth, the City should explore one or more of the following options: ƒLower the LOS standard ƒChange the Land Use Plan ƒIncrease the amount of revenue from existing sources ƒAdopt new sources of revenue Policy 18.3 Encourage Neighborhood planning to afford neighborhoods the opportunity to form Local Improvement Districts (LIDs) to develop locally based improvements that exceed City standards (e.g. for parking, median strips, landscaping, traffic calming, walkways or other locally- determined projects). Policy 18.4 Seek to balance funding to support multimodal solutions to transportation needs. Objective 19: Revenue. Establish mechanisms to ensure that required transportation facilities are fully funded. Policy 19.1 Match revenue sources to transportation improvements on the basis of sound fiscal policies. Packet Page 142 of 487 Goals, Objectives, and Policies September 2009 2-19 Policy 19.2 Revise the TIP in the event that revenue sources for transportation improvements, which require voter approval in a local referendum, are not approved. Policy 19.3 Ensure that ongoing operating and maintenance costs associated with a transportation facility are financially feasible prior to constructing the facility. Objective 20: Concurrency. Ensure existing and future development pays for the costs of needed transportation improvements. Policy 20.1 Ensure that existing development pays for transportation improvements that reduce or eliminate existing deficiencies, and pays for some or all of the cost to replace obsolete or worn out facilities. Existing development may also pay a portion of the cost of transportation improvements needed by future development. Existing development's payments may take the form of user fees, charges for services, special assessments, and taxes. Policy 20.2 Ensure that future development pays a proportionate share of the cost to mitigate impacts associated with new facilities. Future development may also pay a portion of the cost to replace obsolete or worn-out facilities. Future development's payments may take the form of voluntary contributions for the benefit of any transportation facility, impact fees, mitigation payments, capacity fees, dedications of land, provision of transportation facilities, and future payments of users fees, charges for services, special assessments, and taxes. Objective 21: Partnerships. Seek to mitigate disproportionate financial burdens to the City due to the location of essential transportation facilities. Policy 21.1 Through joint planning or inter-local agreements, the City should seek to mitigate disproportionate financial burdens that result from the location of essential transportation facilities. Policy 21.2 Seek amenities or incentives for neighborhoods in which the facilities are located, to compensate for adverse impacts. 15.25.060 Traffic Calming A.General. Speeding is the single most received complaint regarding traffic. Locations include arterials, local access and commercial access streets, and in residential neighborhoods. Citizens have expressed concern about the safety of children walking along roadways or playing near the street, vehicles entering streets from driveways or at intersections, and cut- through traffic. The City should establish a systematic and consistent way of responding to requests for action, while respecting the City’s limited finances and staff resources. The City Packet Page 143 of 487 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 2-20 must also remain cognizant of the transportation system’s need to carry vehicles efficiently and effectively. B.Goal XVII: Respond to citizen requests concerning traffic speed and pass through traffic in a consistent, systematic and responsive manner, while maintaining the basic function of the Edmonds street system. C.Objective 22: Traffic Calming. Maintain a response system to citizen requests concerning traffic calming procedures by implementing the Traffic Calming program described in this Transportation Plan (see Appendix B). Policy 22.1 Use a formal written procedure for traffic calming requests, and an acknowledgement procedure for receipt of request. Policy 22.2 Use field investigation procedures that include short-term solutions. Policy 22.3 Use neighborhood speed watch program. Policy 22.4 Publicize the formal procedure for traffic calming requests (Policy 22.1) and neighborhood speed watch program (Policy 22.3). Policy 22.5 Use permanent traffic calming request procedures and evaluation procedures. Policy 22.6 Use permanent traffic calming design criteria. Policy 22.7 Use a permanent traffic calming authorization procedure. Policy 22.8 Use a permanent traffic calming implementation procedure. Policy 22.9 Traffic calming measures should be located and designed so as not to interfere with bus operation, travel speed, or on-time performance. 15.25.070 Air Quality and Climate Change A.General. The Washington State Clean Air Conformity Act establishes guidelines and directives for implementing the Federal Clean Air Act Amendments. The Washington Administrative Code requires local transportation plans to include policies that promote the reduction of criteria pollutants that exceed national ambient air quality standards. Environmental quality is recognized as a critical part of what people often describe as the “character” of Edmonds. In the “Community Sustainability Element” of the Comprehensive Plan, the City recognizes that global climate change brings significant risks to the community, and that appropriate transportation policies are required. B.Goal XVIII: Comply with Federal and State air quality requirements. Goal XIX: Promote transportation options such as bicycle trails, commute trip reduction programs, incentives for car pooling and public transit, in an effort to meet or exceed Kyoto protocol targets for reducing global warming pollution. Packet Page 144 of 487 Goals, Objectives, and Policies September 2009 2-21 C.Objective 22: Air Quality. Participate in efforts by Puget Sound agencies to improve air quality as it is affected by the movement of people and goods through and around the city. Policy 23.1 Strive to conform to the Federal and State Clean Air Acts by working to help implement the Metropolitan Transportation Plan of the PSRC and by following the requirements of Chapter 173-420 of the WAC. Policy 23.2 Support transportation investments that advance alternatives to driving alone, as a measure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and in turn reduce the effect of citywide transportation on global climate change. Packet Page 145 of 487 Packet Page 146 of 487 September 2009 3-1 Chapter 3. Street System This chapter provides an inventory of the existing street system, assessment of existing and projected future roadway operations, safety assessment, design standards for different street types, and recommended projects and programs to address safety and mobility needs. Roadway Functional Classification Existing Classifications All streets in the city have a designated functional classification. The functional classification of a street depends on the types of trips that occur on it, the basic purpose for which it was designed, and the relative level of traffic volume it carries. The different classifications of roadways serve different stages of a trip: ƒTraveler accesses roadway system from origin (access), ƒTraveler travels through roadway system (mobility), and ƒTraveler accesses destination from roadway system (access). The different types of roads that serve these functions are classified as follows. ƒFreeway – Multi-lane, high-speed, high-capacity road intended exclusively for motorized traffic. All access is controlled by interchanges and road crossings are grade-separated. No freeways pass through Edmonds, though Interstate-5 (I-5) runs to the east of the city limits. ƒPrincipal Arterial – Road that connects major activity centers and facilities, typically constructed with limited direct access to abutting land uses. The primary function of principal arterials is to provide a high degree of vehicle mobility, but they may provide a minor amount of land access. Principal arterials serve high traffic volume corridors, carrying the greatest portion of through or long-distance traffic within a city, and serving inter-community trips. Packet Page 147 of 487 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 3-2 On-street parking is often limited to improve capacity for through-traffic. Typically, principal arterials are multi-lane facilities and have traffic signals at intersections with other arterials. Regional bus routes are generally located on principal arterials, as are transfer centers and park-and-ride lots. Principal arterials usually have sidewalks and sometimes have separate bicycle facilities, so that non-motorized traffic is separated from vehicle traffic. ƒMinor Arterial – Road that connects centers and facilities within the community and serves some through-traffic, while providing a greater level of access to abutting properties. Minor arterials connect with other arterial and collector roads, and serve less concentrated traffic- generating areas, such as neighborhood shopping centers and schools. Provision for on-street parking varies by location. Although the dominant function of minor arterials is the movement of through-traffic, they also provide for considerable local traffic with origins or destinations at points along the corridor. Minor arterials also carry local and commuter bus routes. They usually have sidewalks and sometimes have separate bicycle facilities, so that non-motorized traffic is separated from vehicular traffic. ƒCollector – Road designed to fulfill both functions of mobility and land access. Collectors typically serve intra-community trips connecting residential neighborhoods with each other or activity centers, while also providing a high degree of property access within a localized area. These roadways “collect” vehicular trips from local access streets and distribute them to higher classification streets. Additionally, collectors provide direct services to residential areas, local parks, churches and areas with similar uses of the land. Typically, right-of-way and paving widths are narrower for collectors than arterials. They may only be two lanes wide and are quite often controlled with stop signs. Local bus routes often run on collectors, and they usually have sidewalks on at least one side of the street. ƒLocal Access – Road with a primary function of providing access to residences. Typically, they are only a few blocks long, are relatively narrow, and have low speeds. Local streets are generally not designed to accommodate buses, and often do not have sidewalks. Culs-de-sac are also considered local access streets. All streets in Edmonds that have not been designated as an arterial or a collector are local access streets. Local access streets make up the majority of the miles of roadway in the city. Figure 3-1 illustrates the basic tradeoffs that occur between mobility and access among the different functional classifications of roadways. Higher classes (e.g. freeways and arterials) provide a high degree of mobility and have more limited access to adjacent land uses, accommodating higher traffic volumes at higher speeds. Lower classes (e.g., local access streets) provide a high degree of access to adjacent land and are not intended to serve through traffic, carrying lower traffic volumes at lower speeds. Collectors generally provide a more balanced emphasis on traffic mobility and access to land uses. Cities and counties are required to adopt a street classification system that is consistent with these guidelines (RCW 35.78.010 and RCW 47.26.090). Figure 3-2 shows the existing road functional classifications for city streets. Packet Page 148 of 487 City of Edmonds Comprehensive Transportation Plan Figure 3-1.

The table compares the miles of roadway to Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) guidelines (FHWA 1989). The table shows that miles of minor arterial are slightly lower than FHWA guidelines, and miles of all other classifications are within guidelines. The total miles of principal and minor arterial are within guidelines for total amount of arterial. Table 3-1.

Evaluation of Road Functional Classifications Over time, changes in traffic volumes and shifts in land use and traffic patterns may cause the function of a road to change. Thus, it is important to periodically review the functions city roads serve, and evaluate whether any changes in classification are warranted. The following guidelines are used for evaluating the classifications. 1.Average Daily Traffic (ADT) – Roadways with higher functional classifications typically carry higher traffic volumes. On high volume roadways, the demand for traffic mobility is more likely to outweigh the need for access to abutting land. Conversely, where volumes are lower the access function of the street will generally be more important than mobility for traffic. Traffic volumes alone do not provide the basis for classification, but are used in conjunction with the other criteria listed below. However, the following ranges are used as guidelines: - Minor Arterial Street: 3,000 to 15,000 ADT - Collector Street: 1,000 to 5,000 ADT 2.Non-motorized use – The accommodation of non-automobile modes, including walking, bicycling, and transit use is another important measure of a road’s function. Roads with higher classifications tend to serve more modes of travel. The more travel modes that a street accommodates, the greater the number of people that street serves, and the more important that street is to the movement of people, goods, and services throughout the city. 3.Street length – A street that is longer in length tends to function at a higher classification. This is due to the fact that longer (continuous) streets allow travelers to move between distant attractions with a limited number of turns, stops, and other distractions that discourage them Packet Page 151 of 487 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 3-6 from using streets of lower classification. Longer streets generally supply a higher level of mobility, compared to other streets that provide more access. 4.Street spacing – Streets of higher classification usually have greater traffic carrying capacity and fewer impediments to travel. Fewer facilities are needed to serve the traffic mobility demands of the community due to their efficiency in moving traffic. This typically means that fewer streets of higher classification are needed, so there will be greater distances between them. The farther the distance of a street from a higher classification street, the more likely it is that the street will function at a similar classification. A greater number of streets of lower classification are needed to provide access to abutting land. Therefore, they must be spaced more closely and there must be many more of them. It is considered most desirable to have a network of multiple lower classification streets feeding into progressively fewer higher classified streets. Based on these guidelines, typical spacing for the different classifications of roadways are as follows: - Principal Arterials: 1.0 mile - Minor Arterials: 0.3 to 0.7 mile - Collectors: 0.25 to 0.5 mile - Local Access: 0.1 mile 5.Street connectivity – Streets that provide easy connections to other roads of higher classification are likely to function at a similar classification. This can be attributed to the ease of movement perceived by travelers who desire to make that connection. For example, state highways are generally interconnected with one another, to provide a continuous network of high order roadways that can be used to travel into and through urban areas. Urban arterials provide a similar interconnected network at the citywide level. By contrast, collectors often connect local access streets with one or two higher-level arterial streets, thus helping provide connectivity at the neighborhood scale rather than a citywide level. Local streets also provide a high degree of connectivity as a necessary component of property access. However, the street lengths, traffic control, and/or street geometry are usually designed so that anyone but local travelers would consider the route inconvenient. The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1973 requires the use of functional highway classification to update and modify the Federal-aid highway systems. Thus, the FHWA and WSDOT have adopted a federal functional classification system for city roadways. Allocation of funds, as well as application of local agency design standards, is based on the federal classification. Federal funds may only be spent on federally classified routes. Based upon the guidelines provided above, the following changes to functional classifications are recommended: ƒApply for the following federal functional classification upgrade from collector to minor arterial for the following two road segments: - 220th Street, 9th Avenue S – SR 99 Packet Page 152 of 487 Street System September 2009 3-7 - 76th Avenue W, 244th Street SW – 212th Street SW ƒApply for the following federal functional classification upgrade from local access to collector for the following six road segments: - Dayton Street, 5th Avenue S – 9th Avenue S - 200th Street SW, 88th Avenue W – 76th Avenue W - 7th Avenue N, Main Street – Caspers Street - 80th Avenue W / 180th Street SW, 200th Street – Olympic View Drive - 80th Avenue W, 212th Street SW – 220th Street SW - 96th Avenue W, 220th Street SW – Walnut Street ƒApply for the following federal functional classification downgrade from collector to local access for the following road segment: - Admiral Way, south of W Dayton Street Table 3-2 summarizes existing and recommended functional classifications for city streets.

From Edmonds, it runs north to Everett, and south through Shoreline to Seattle and the Tacoma metropolitan area. In 1998, the Washington State Legislature passed Highways of Statewide Significance legislation (RCW 47.06.140). Highways of Statewide Significance promote and maintain significant statewide travel and economic linkages. The legislation emphasizes that these significant facilities should be planned from a statewide perspective, and thus they are not subject to local concurrency standards. (WSDOT 2007) In Edmonds, SR 104 between the Edmonds-Kingston Ferry Dock and I-5, and SR 99 between the south city limits and SR 104 have been designated as Highways of Statewide Significance. The Edmonds-Kingston ferry route is considered to be part of SR 104, and is also identified as a Highway of Statewide Significance.

Traffic calming devices are currently in place at many locations throughout Edmonds. These measures have been installed as part of capital improvement projects, as opportunities were presented, and occasionally in response to citizen requests. The following types of traffic calming devices are currently present within the city: ƒBulb-outs – curb extensions that are used to narrow the roadway either at an intersection or at mid- block along a street corridor. Their primary purpose is to make intersections more pedestrian friendly by shortening the roadway crossing distance and drawing attention to pedestrians via raised peninsula. Additionally, a bulb-out often tightens the curb radius at the corner, which reduces the speeds of turning vehicles. ƒChicane – series of curb extensions that alternate from one side of the street to the other, which narrows the roadway and requires drivers to slow down to travel through the chicane. Typically, a series of at least three curb extensions is used. ƒPartial closure – involves closing down one lane of a two-lane roadway along with a “Do Not Enter” or “One Way” sign, in order to reduce cut-through traffic. ƒRaised pavement markers – 4-inch diameter raised buttons placed in design sequence across a road, causing a vehicle to vibrate and alert the motorist to an upcoming situation. Raised pavement markers may be used in conjunction with curves, crosswalks, pavement legends and speed limit signs. They are most effective when used to alert motorists to unusual conditions ahead, and are most commonly used on approaches to stop signs, often in situations where the visibility of a stop sign is limited. ƒSpeed hump – rounded raised area placed across the roadway, which is approximately 3 to 4 inches high and 12 to 22 feet long. This treatment is used to slow vehicles by forcing them to decelerate in order to pass over them comfortably. The design speeds for speed humps are 20 to 25 mph. ƒTraffic circle – raised island placed in the center of an intersection which forces traffic into circular maneuvers. Motorists yield to vehicles already in the intersection and only need to consider traffic approaching in one direction. Traffic circles prevent drivers from speeding through intersections by impeding straight-through movement. Table 3-5 summarizes traffic calming devices located throughout the city. Figure 3-6 shows the locations of these traffic calming devices. Packet Page 162 of 487 Street System September 2009 3-17 Table 3-5.

Parking is accommodated on the street and in private parking lots associated with existing development. Public parking is provided throughout the city at no charge to drivers. In the downtown area, parking is limited to three hours along most of the downtown streets, with certain stalls designated for handicapped parking, one-hour parking, and loading/unloading. The City has established an employee permit parking program to provide more parking to the general public in high demand parking areas by encouraging Edmonds' business owners and employees to park in lower demand parking areas. The permit authorizes permit employees to park for more than three hours in three-hour parking areas if the parking is part of a commute to work. A three-hour public parking lot is provided at the Edmonds Police Department/Fire Department. Supply is currently adequate to accommodate parking demand. The City will continue to monitor parking demand and supply and make adjustments as needed.

The Goals and Objectives of the Transportation Plan relate street design to the desires of the local community, and advise that design be at a scale commensurate with the function that the street serves. Guidelines are therefore important to provide designers with essential elements of street design as desired by the community. Essential functions of streets in Edmonds include vehicle mobility, pedestrian access, bicycle access and aesthetics. Street design guidelines for the City are based on the State of Washington Local Agency Guidelines for roadway design (WSDOT 2008) and ECDC Title 18. These guidelines specify that lane widths should be 11 to 12 feet depending on the location of curbs and percentage of truck traffic. Left-turn lanes increase capacity, reduce vehicular accidents, and improve access to adjacent property. Bicycle lanes should be provided along major traffic corridors, and when striped, should be a minimum of 5 feet in width. Sidewalk widths should be a minimum of 5 feet in low pedestrian volume areas, and a minimum of 7 feet in high pedestrian volume areas. Landscaped medians are especially important to soften wide expanses of pavement, to provide a haven for crossing pedestrians, and to provide aesthetic treatment to streets. The adoption of design guidelines is advantageous over the adoption of standards in that it allows a needed flexibility in design that may not be permitted by strict standards. Often when designing streets obstacles are encountered that require modification in design approach. Impediments might include topographic features that make road construction difficult or very expensive; inadequate available right-of-way to allow for all desired features; or environmentally sensitive areas that require modification to avoid adverse impacts. Additionally, funding or grant sources may require specific features or dimensions. Table 3-6 summarizes typical guidelines applied to the design of different types of roads in Edmonds. Figure 3-8 illustrates typical cross sections for each functional classification of road. Figure 3-9 illustrates the downtown area which sidewalks are required on both sides of the street.

The analysis of existing operating conditions on city roadways is based on this data. Level of Service LOS is the primary measurement used to determine the operating quality of a roadway segment or intersection. The quality of traffic conditions is graded into one of six LOS designations: A, B, C, D, E, or F. Table 3-7 presents typical characteristics of the different LOS designations. LOS A and B represent the fewest traffic slow-downs, and LOS C and D represent intermediate traffic congestion. LOS E indicates that traffic conditions are at or approaching urban congestion; and LOS F indicates that traffic volumes are at a high level of congestion and unstable traffic flow. Table 3-7. Typical Roadway Level of Service Characteristics Level of Service Characteristic Traffic Flow A Free flow – Describes a condition of free flow with low volumes and high speeds. Freedom to select desired speeds and to maneuver within the traffic stream is extremely high. Stopped delay at intersections is minimal. B Stable flow – Represents reasonable unimpeded traffic flow operations at average travel speeds. The ability to maneuver within the traffic stream is only slightly restricted and stopped delays are not bothersome. Drivers are not generally subjected to appreciable tensions. C Stable flow – In the range of stable flow, but speeds and maneuverability are more closely controlled by the higher volumes. The selection of speed is now significantly affected by interactions with others in the traffic stream, and maneuvering within the traffic stream required substantial vigilance on the part of the user. The general level of comfort and convenience declines noticeably at this level. D Stable flow – Represents high-density, but stable flow. Speed and freedom to maneuver are severely restricted, and the driver or pedestrian experiences a generally poor level of comfort and convenience- Small increases in traffic flow will generally cause operational problems at this level. Packet Page 170 of 487 Street System September 2009 3-25 Level of Service Characteristic Traffic Flow E Unstable flow – Represents operating conditions at or near the maximum capacity level. Freedom to maneuver within the traffic stream is extremely difficult, and it is generally accomplished by forcing a vehicle or pedestrian to "give way" to accommodate such maneuvers. Comfort and convenience levels are extremely poor, and driver or pedestrian frustration is generally high. Operations at this level are usually unstable, because small increases in flow or minor disturbances within the traffic stream will cause breakdowns F Forced flow – Describes forced or breakdown flow, where volumes are above theoretical capacity. This condition exists wherever the amount of traffic approaching a point exceeds the amount that can traverse the point. Queues form behind such locations, and operations within the queue are characterized by stop-and-go waves that are extremely unstable. Vehicles may progress at reasonable speeds for several hundred feet or more, then be required to stop in a cyclical fashion. Source: Transportation Research Board 2000 Level of Service Criteria Methods described in the Highway Capacity Manual (Transportation Research Board 2000) are used to calculate the LOS for signalized and stop-controlled intersections. Table 3-8 summarizes the LOS criteria for signalized and stop-controlled intersections. LOS for intersections is determined by the average amount of delay experienced by vehicles at the intersection. For stop- controlled intersections, LOS depends on the average delay experienced by drivers on the stop- controlled approaches. Thus, for two-way or T-intersections, LOS is based on the average delay experienced by vehicles entering the intersection on the minor (stop-controlled) approaches. For all-way stop controlled intersections, LOS is determined by the average delay for all movements through the intersection. The LOS criteria for stop-controlled intersections have different threshold values than those for signalized intersections, primarily because drivers expect different levels of performance from distinct types of transportation facilities. In general, stop-controlled intersections are expected to carry lower volumes of traffic than signalized intersections. Thus, for the same LOS, a lower level of delay is acceptable at stop-controlled intersections than it is for signalized intersections. Table 3-8. Level of Service Criteria for Intersections Average Delay per Vehicle (seconds/vehicle) LOS Designation Signalized Intersections Stop-Controlled Intersections A ” 10 ” 10 B > 10 – 20 > 10 – 15 C > 20 – 35 > 15 – 25 D > 35 – 55 > 25 – 35 E > 55 – 80 > 35 – 50 F > 80 > 50 Source: Transportation Research Board 2000 Packet Page 171 of 487 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 3-26 The Highway Capacity Manual methodology does not provide methods for analyzing delay, queues, or LOS of roundabouts. Therefore, LOS analysis for roundabouts is calculated using methods presented in a FHWA report that provides an approach for estimating the average vehicle delay at each entry point along the rotary (FHWA 2000). Utilizing this method, the LOS of the rotary is based upon the average vehicle delay at its most congested entry point. Because LOS thresholds for roundabouts are not provided in the FHWA report, the Highway Capacity Manual criteria for stop-controlled intersections (see Table 3-8) is applied, because drivers’ expectations for delay at a roundabout more closely resemble expectations at a stop sign than at a signal (e.g. a lower level of delay is considered acceptable). Concurrency and Level of Service Standard Under GMA, concurrency is the requirement that adequate infrastructure be planned and financed to support the City’s adopted future land use plan. LOS standards are used to evaluate the transportation impacts of long-term growth and concurrency. In order to monitor concurrency, the jurisdictions adopt acceptable roadway operating conditions that are then used to measure existing or proposed traffic conditions and identify deficiencies. The City has adopted LOS standards for city streets and state routes in the city that are subject to concurrency. Table 3-9 shows the City LOS standards. Table 3-9. Level of Service Standards Facility Standard City Streets Arterials: LOS D or better (except state routes); Collectors: LOS C or better. State Routes1 SR 99 north of SR 104; SR 524: LOS E or better. 1. State routes for which a standard is designated are Highways of Regional Significance, and are subject to City concurrency requirements. State routes designated as Highways of Statewide Significance (SR 104, and SR 99 south of SR 104) are not subject to concurrency and thus no City standard is defined for these facilities. However, to monitor operations on Highways of Statewide Significance, the City identifies existing or potential future deficiencies if the WSDOT standard of LOS D is exceeded. LOS is measured at intersections during a typical weekday PM peak hour, using analysis methods outlined in the Highway Capacity Manual (Transportation Research Board 2000) and discussed in the previous section. For intersections of roads with different functional classifications, the standard for the higher classification shall apply. Intersections that operate below these standards are considered deficient under concurrency. Deficiencies are identified either as existing deficiencies, meaning they are occurring under existing conditions and not as the result of future development, or as projected future deficiencies, meaning that they are expected to occur under future projected conditions. Concurrency management ensures that development, in conformance with the adopted land use element of the Comprehensive Plan, will not cause a transportation facility’s operations to drop below the adopted standard. Transportation capacity expansion or demand management strategies must be in place or financially planned to be in place within six years of development use. Packet Page 172 of 487 Street System September 2009 3-27 Transportation concurrency is a term that describes whether a roadway is operating at its adopted LOS standard. The adopted standard indicates a jurisdiction’s intent to maintain transportation service at that level, which has budgetary implications. If a city adopts a high LOS standard, it will have to spend more money to maintain the roadways than if it adopts a low LOS standard. On the other hand, a standard that is too low may lead to an unacceptable service level and reduce livability for the community or neighborhood. Under the GMA, if a development would cause the LOS to fall below the jurisdiction’s adopted standard, it must be denied unless adequate improvements or demand management strategies can be provided concurrent with the development. The key is to select a balanced standard—not so high as to be unreasonable to maintain, and not so low as to allow an unacceptable level of traffic congestion. Highways of Statewide Significance (in Edmonds, SR 104, and SR 99 south of SR 104) are not subject to local concurrency standards. However, WSDOT has established a standard of LOS D for these facilities. The City monitors Highways of Statewide Significance, and coordinates with WSDOT to address any deficiencies that are identified. Existing Level of Service Table 3-10 presents existing PM peak hour LOS for 24 intersections throughout the city. Existing intersection LOS is also shown in Figure 3-10. The analysis indicates that the following four stop- controlled intersections are currently operating below the City’s adopted LOS standard: ƒPuget Drive and 88th Avenue W ƒ212th Street SW and 84th Avenue W ƒMain Street and 9th Avenue N ƒWalnut Street and 9th Avenue S The intersection of 238th Street SW and Edmonds Way is operating at LOS F during the PM peak hour. It is located on SR 104, which is a Highway of Statewide Significance, and thus is under WSDOT jurisdiction and is not subject to City concurrency standards. However, the City still considers exceeding LOS E to be an operational deficiency, and will work with WSDOT to address issues at this location.

Travel Demand Forecasting Model For this Transportation Plan, a travel demand forecasting model was developed to analyze future travel demand and traffic patterns for the weekday PM peak hour, which is typically the hour in which the highest level of traffic occurs, and is the time period in which concurrency assessment is based. The major elements of the model include: ƒTransportation network and zone development ƒExisting land use inventory ƒTrip generation ƒTrip distribution ƒNetwork assignment ƒModel calibration ƒModel of future traffic conditions. These elements are described in the following sections. Transportation Network and Zone Development The analysis roadway network is represented as a series of links (roadway segments) and nodes (intersections). Road characteristics such as capacity, length, speed, and turning restrictions at intersections are coded into the network. The geographic area covered by the model is divided into transportation analysis zones (TAZs) that have similar land use characteristics. Figure 3-11 shows the TAZs that were developed for the Edmonds model. The PSRC regional transportation model was used as the basis for both transportation network and TAZ definitions. For the more detailed Edmonds model, some larger TAZs from the regional model were subdivided into smaller TAZs, and the roadway network was analyzed in greater detail. Consistency with the regional model allows land use and roadway information that was updated in the development of the Edmonds model to be easily transferred to PSRC for the next update of the regional model. Existing Land Use Inventory Existing land use was based on a citywide land use inventory completed for this project in 2008. In order to establish an accurate base map of existing land use, land use was confirmed using assessor records, supplemental aerial photos, and field verification. For the model area outside the city limits, land use was based on regional population and employment inventory provided by the PSRC. The land use is summarized by TAZ, as shown in Figure 3-11.

The trips are estimated using statistical data on population and household characteristics, employment, economic output, and land uses. Trips are categorized by their general purpose, including: ƒHome-based-work, or any trip with home as one end and work as the other end; ƒHome-based-other, or any non-work trip with home as one end; ƒNon-home-based, or any trip that does not have home at either end. The trip generation model estimates the number of trips generated per household and employee during the analysis period for each of these purposes. The output is expressed as the total number of trips produced in each TAZ and the total number of trips attracted to each TAZ, categorized by trip purpose. Trip Distribution The trip distribution step allocates the trips estimated by the trip generation model to create a specific zonal origin and destination for each trip. This is accomplished using the gravity model, which distributes trips according to two basic assumptions: (1) more trips will be attracted to larger zones (the size of a zone is defined by the number of attractions estimated in the trip generation phase, not the geographical size), and (2) more trip interchanges will take place between zones that are closer together than the number that will take place between zones that are farther apart. The result is a trip matrix for each of the trip purposes specified in trip generation. This matrix estimates how many trips are taken from each zone (origin) to every other zone (destination). The trips are often referred to as trip interchanges. Network Assignment The roadway network is represented as a series of links (roadway segments) and nodes (intersections). Each roadway link and intersection node is assigned a functional classification, with associated characteristics of length, capacity, and speed. This information is used to determine the optimum path between all the zones based on travel time and distance. The trips are distributed from each of the zones to the roadway network using an assignment process that takes into account the effect of increasing traffic on travel times. The result is a roadway network with traffic volumes calculated for each segment of roadway. The model reflects the effects of traffic congestion on the roadway network. Model Calibration A crucial step in the modeling process is the calibration of the model. The modeling process can generally be described as defining the existing roadway system as a model network and applying trip patterns based on existing land use. The model output, which consists of estimated traffic volumes on each roadway segment, is compared to existing traffic counts. Adjustments are made to the model inputs until the modeled existing conditions replicate actual existing conditions, Packet Page 178 of 487 Street System September 2009 3-33 within accepted parameters. Once the model is calibrated for existing conditions, it can be used as the basis for analyzing future traffic conditions and the impacts of potential improvements to the roadway network. Model of Future Traffic Conditions Future travel demand is based on projections of future land use patterns and community growth. Based on population and employment forecasts, the City provided these growth assumptions for the next 20 years. The growth assumptions represent the higher end of possible ranges, resulting in a more conservative assessment of the impact of future land use on traffic conditions. For the model area outside the city limits, future land use projections were based on PSRC forecasts. Using the same general process described for modeling existing conditions, the forecasted land use data is used to estimate the number of trips that will be generated in future travel. These trips are then distributed among the TAZs, and assigned to the roadway network. The result is a model of projected future traffic conditions, under the projected future land use scenario. For future analysis under 2015 conditions, a straight-line growth between existing and projected 2025 traffic volumes was assumed. This is based on the assumption that steady growth between existing and planned 2025 land uses will occur. 2015 Conditions without Improvements Table 3-11 presents projected PM peak hour LOS for city intersections by 2015, with existing transportation infrastructure in place. Projected 2015 LOS at the analysis intersections is also shown in Figure 3-12. The following locations are projected to operate below the City’s adopted LOS standards under the 2015 conditions, if no additional improvements are made to the transportation system: ƒOlympic View Drive and 76th Avenue W ƒPuget Drive and 88th Avenue W (deficient under existing conditions) ƒ212th Street SW and 76th Avenue W ƒ212th Street SW and 84th Avenue W (deficient under existing conditions) ƒMain Street and 9th Avenue N (deficient under existing conditions) ƒWalnut Street and 9th Avenue S (deficient under existing conditions) ƒ220th Street SW and 76th Avenue W Analysis indicates that the intersection of 238th Street SW and Edmonds Way will operate at LOS F in 2015. As it is located along a Highway of Statewide Significance, this intersection is not subject to City concurrency standards. However, the City still considers exceeding LOS D to be an operational deficiency, and will work with WSDOT to address it.

Safety also involves ongoing coordination with emergency service providers to ensure access for their emergency equipment. Recommendations to address safety issues are based on assessment of historical collision data, focused sub-area or corridor safety studies, or on citizen feedback. These assessments are described in the following sections. Collision History For this Transportation Plan update, historical collision data provided by WSDOT for the years 2005 through 2007 was compiled and evaluated (WSDOT 2008). All locations at which an average of five or greater collisions occurred per year were evaluated more closely. Table 3-13 presents the three most recent years of collision data for locations at which collision incidents averaged more than five per year (WSDOT 2008). The table shows that the five highest collision intersections are all located along SR 99, with the highest number occurring near the intersection of 220th Street SW and SR 99. An intersection that carries higher traffic volumes is more likely to experience a higher level of collisions. To account for this, and to allow collision data to be more accurately compared, the rate of collisions per million entering vehicles was calculated for all locations that had averaged five or greater collisions per year. Typically, a collision rate at or greater than 1.0 collision per million entering vehicles raises indicates that further evaluation may be warranted. Table 3-13 presents the collision rate per million entering vehicles at high collision locations; and they are shown in Figure 3-14. The locations with the rates at or above 1.0 collision per million entering vehicles are as follows (from the highest rate to the lowest rate): ƒ220th Street SW and SR 99 ƒMain Street and 3rd Avenue ƒ244th Street SW and SR 99 ƒ238th Street SW and 84th Avenue W ƒ76th Avenue W and SR 99 ƒ212th Street SW and SR 99 ƒSR 104 and 100th Avenue W ƒ220th Street SW and 84th Avenue W ƒ216th Street SW and SR 99 ƒ212th Street SW and 76th Avenue W Packet Page 185 of 487 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 3-40 At high collision locations that are also concurrency locations, capacity improvement projects designed to address operational deficiencies should also serve to improve safety conditions.

High Collision Locations 00.51 Miles Source: City of Edmonds (2008); WSDOT (2008); Snohomish County (2008) City Boundary Railroad Water Feature Collisions per Million Entering Vehicles 1.00 - 1.49 1.5 or Higher Packet Page 187 of 487 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 3-42 SR 99 Traffic and Circulation Study The City conducted a focused assessment of the SR 99 corridor in 2006 (Perteet 2006). Collaborating with community, business, and agency stakeholders, the study sought to evaluate current and future transportation needs along the corridor, identify multi-modal solutions, and identify high priority projects for incorporation into the City’s TIP. Two high priority improvement projects were identified, that are incorporated into this Plan: ƒSR 99 at 228th Street SW and 76th Avenue W – Construct connection of 228th Street SW between SR 99 and 76th Avenue W (three lanes with curb, gutter, bike lanes and sidewalk). Install traffic signals at 228th Street SW/SR 99 and 228th Street SW/76th Avenue W. Install median on SR 99 to prohibit left turn movements at 76th Avenue W. ƒSR 99 at 216th Street SW – Widen to allow one left turn lane and one through lane in eastbound and westbound directions, with 100-foot storage length for turn lanes. Residential Neighborhood Issues Residents periodically express concerns about speeding or a high level of cut-through traffic on residential streets. ƒCut-Through Traffic – Over time, drivers will tend to find the most efficient route between their origin and destination. When congestion occurs on arterials and collector routes motorists begin to use local access streets as cut-thorough routes. Maintaining the efficiency of arterial and collector routes is the most effective way to avoid or reduce cut-through traffic. However, even with optimally designed and managed road networks, there are times when drivers will use residential streets as shortcuts. ƒSpeeding Traffic – Vehicles traveling well above the speed limit on residential streets reduces safety and is of concern to residents. Although some motorists will typically drive above the posted speed limit, the deviation above the limit is typically 5 to 10 miles per hour (mph). This deviation is anticipated and routinely reflected in the safety design of streets and posted speed limits. Speeding more than 10 mph over the speed limit sometimes occurs on older residential streets that have wide travel lanes and an abundance of vehicle parking, which can encourage speeding because the motorist perceives the street is safe and intended for higher speeds. When the cut-through traffic becomes a significant portion of the overall volume on a residential street, traffic calming measures may be effective in directing traffic to another route. The speed of motorists along residential streets can also be addressed by traffic calming. Traffic calming devices are physical devices installed on neighborhood residential streets, to reduce cut-through traffic, and/or discourage speeding. Traffic calming devices are currently in place at many locations throughout Edmonds (see Figure 3-5). These measures have been installed as part of capital improvement projects, as opportunities were presented, and occasionally in response to citizen requests. However, the City does not currently have a formal traffic calming program. Packet Page 188 of 487 Street System September 2009 3-43 Recommended Road Projects and Programs Capital Improvement Projects Proposed improvements are presented in Table 3-14, and illustrated in Figure 3-15. Projects are categorized as concurrency projects, state highway projects, or safety projects. Concurrency Projects Capital roadway improvement projects were developed to address intersection deficiencies under existing conditions and under 2015 and 2025 projected conditions. These projects are needed to improve operation and capacity at intersections that currently operate or are projected to operate at levels below the City’s LOS standards. Concurrency projects applied to the 2015 conditions are those needed to address existing and 2015 deficiencies. Under the 2025 conditions, all recommended concurrency projects are applied to intersections that are expected to exceed the LOS standards. State Highway Projects Intersections located on SR 104 are not subject to City’s LOS standards; however, capital roadway improvement projects were developed to address intersections operations at the following locations: ƒ238th Street SW / Edmonds Way ƒ244th Street SW / 76th Avenue W The City will work with WSDOT for implementation of these improvements, or alternative projects to meet the same mobility objectives. Safety and Other Projects Capital roadway improvement projects were also developed to address vehicular and pedestrian safety on city streets. The City has conducted the circulation and safety analysis for SR 99. According to the study, improvement projects were recommended at the following locations, which are expected to improve the vehicular and pedestrian safety at these locations. ƒ228th Street SW / SR 99 / 76th Avenue W ƒSR 99 / 216th Street SW Improvements are also recommended on the following streets to improve the vehicle and pedestrian safety. ƒ238th Street SW, between Edmonds Way and 84th Avenue W ƒ84th Avenue W, between 212th Street S and 238th Street SW ƒSR 99 illumination Packet Page 189 of 487 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 3-44 ƒShell Valley ƒMain Street and 3rd Avenue In addition, the City considers improvement to all modes (bicycle, pedestrian, and transit) in the design of road projects; so all proposed road improvements, even those that are listed primarily as concurrency improvements, will also include elements to support and promote alternative mode operations and safety.

Trigger year is the year by which travel demand forecasts indicates that the location will operate below adopted LOS standards, and thus be in violation of concurrency. Under the GMA, improvements must be in place within six years of the year that a concurrency violation is triggered. 2. Analysis indicates that restricting northbound and southbound traffic to right-turn-only (prohibiting left-turn and through movements) would also address the deficiency identified at this location through 2025. This could be implemented as an alternate solution, or as an interim solution until traffic signal warrants are met. 3. Analysis indicates that identified deficiencies could also be addressed by removal of parking along the entire length of 9th Avenue between the northbound approach of Walnut and the southbound approach of Main, and restriping and signing so that this section of 9th would be 4 lanes wide. This would result in two lanes of traffic at the northbound and southbound stop-controlled approaches of both intersections. This could be implemented as an alternate solution, or as an interim solution until traffic signal warrants are met. 2015 Operating Conditions with Improvements Projected intersection LOS under 2015 conditions, with recommended improvements in place, is summarized in Table 3-15 and illustrated in Figure 3-16.

The program is designed to assist residents and the City staff in responding to neighborhood traffic issues related to speeding, cut-through traffic, and safety. Implementation of a traffic calming program allows traffic concerns to be addressed consistently and traffic calming measures to be efficiently developed and put into operation. In establishing a neighborhood traffic calming program, the City must take into account the restriction that no deviation from WSDOT design standards is permitted on principal arterials, minor arterials and collector streets without express approval of the WSDOT local programs engineer (RCW 35.78). This limitation does not apply to local access streets, which are defined by RCW 35.78.010 as streets “…generally limited to providing access to abutting property… tributary to major and secondary thoroughfares… generally discouraging through traffic…” Therefore, only local access streets are generally eligible for traffic calming programs. The two main purposes of traffic calming techniques are to: ƒReduce the use of residential streets for cut-through traffic, and ƒReduce overall speeds along residential roadways. A key component of any successful traffic calming program is citizen initiation and ongoing resident involvement. The traffic calming process begins when residents gather eight or more signatures on a petition, requesting that the City initiate a study. The City then undertakes a comprehensive traffic study, gathering data on vehicle speeds, traffic volumes, collision history, and nighttime lighting conditions. If the study reveals a need for traffic calming per the criteria set forth in the Edmonds Traffic Calming program (Appendix B), a three-phase approach to remediate traffic issues is used. The first phase is the start of the process, with the residents filing a petition and the City reviewing whether or not the application qualifies. Phase 2 focuses on solutions that can be quickly deployed, including education, signage, striping modifications, and more police enforcement. If a follow up study indicates that these solutions are not sufficiently effective, Phase 3 traffic calming measures are considered. Phase 3 measures, which are generally more costly and require more time to deploy, might include physical devices such as curb bulbs, chicanes, and traffic circles. The need for citizen involvement greatly increases in Phase 3, because each potential solution requires resident approval prior to implementation. Preservation and Maintenance Programs and Projects The City’s transportation infrastructure is comprised primarily of streets with pavements, sidewalks, illumination, and traffic control, including traffic signals, signs, and pavement marking. Transportation infrastructure requires maintenance, repair, rehabilitation, updating, and replacement to maintain serviceability, reliability, and safety, and to protect the public’s investment. Maintenance of existing infrastructure enables efficiency of transportation operations, and reduces the need for more expensive capital improvements. Packet Page 200 of 487 Street System September 2009 3-55 Maintenance of the City’s transportation infrastructure is provided primarily by the City’s Public Works Department. Activities include the following. ƒAnnual Street Overlays – The projects include spot repairs of failed pavement, full surface and taper grinding of pavement, curbing and sidewalk repairs, and minor storm water system modifications. The projects also incorporate traffic calming measures. In coordination with this transportation plan, future projects will include retrofit of curb ramps for ADA compliance, and may include delineating bike lanes and other bike route improvements (see Chapter 4 for a more detailed discussion). Selection of projects includes reviewing the capital improvement plans for water, sewer, and storm to determine if utility improvements are programmed within the roadway segment under consideration. If there are, the projects schedules will be coordinated. The Principal Arterial, Minor Arterials, and Collectors are all rated once every 2 years as part of the WSDOT Pavement Condition Survey. Those streets are assigned a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) ranging from 0-100: -71 – 100: Excellent (only routine maintenance necessary: activities are performed to maintain a safe traffic condition and include pothole patching, patching around utility structures, and crack sealing). -50 – 70: Fair (Repair activities are done within the initial 10 year life of a new pavement helps to prevent potholes from occurring. These activities may mean placing a new surface (2 inches or less) on an existing road way to provide a better all weather surfaces, a better riding surface, and to extend or renew the pavement life). -25 – 49: Poor (Rehabilitation work generally consists of the preparatory work activities and either thin or thick overlay. Preparatory work may involve digging out defective asphalt, base and sub base. A rehab project typically extends the roadway life between 10 –15 years). -Less than 25: Fail (Reconstruction is required as a majority of the pavement or underlying base course has failed and can no longer serve as competent foundation for flexible pavements like asphalt). Under existing conditions, 70% of city arterials and collectors are in Excellent to Fair condition, based upon these guidelines. The remaining 30% are in Poor to Fail condition. Under the ideal cycle, roads with functional classification of collector or above receive an overlay once every 20 years; and local roads receive an overlay once every 25 years. ƒCitywide Street Improvements – The City implements minor maintenance projects to increase roadway life. Projects may include spot repairs of failed pavement, curbing and sidewalk repairs, and minor storm water system modifications. ƒCitywide Signal Improvements – As traffic signals age, their functionality becomes more limited and they become more difficult to maintain. The City regularly upgrades traffic signals to maintain functionality, and to incorporate new technology. Packet Page 201 of 487 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 3-56 ƒCitywide Cabinet and Controller Upgrades – A signal controller is located in a controller cabinet at each traffic signal, and determines phases and cycle length for the signal it operates. Signal controllers are comprised of many types and many manufacturers, and as they age, their functionality becomes more limited and they become more difficult to maintain. The City regularly upgrades signal controllers to maintain functionality, and to accommodate modern traffic control equipment. ƒArterial Street Signal Coordination Improvements – Coordinate traffic signals located within 1/2 –mile of each other, to maximize the operating efficiency of the overall roadway system. ƒThe following specific maintenance projects are also currently planned: -Puget Drive/Olympic View Drive Signal Upgrades – Rebuild signal -238th Street SW/100th Avenue W Signal Upgrades – Rebuild complete signal system and install video detection Packet Page 202 of 487 September 2009 4-1 Chapter 4. Non-Motorized System This chapter provides an inventory of existing pedestrian and bicycle facilities and an assessment of existing deficiencies and improvement needs. The chapter also highlights strategies for compliance with ADA, and provides recommendations for other improvements to address pedestrian and bicycle mobility and safety. Comprehensive Walkway Plan In 2002, the City of Edmonds completed its Comprehensive Walkway Plan. The plan included goals and objectives for non-motorized transportation in the city, in addition to a walkway inventory, a review of facility standards, and recommendations for walkway projects. The goals and objectives include: ƒGoal: Improve non-motorized transportation facilities and services. ƒObjective: Sidewalks. Safe and attractive pedestrian facilities should be provided as an essential element of the City’s circulation and recreation system, as established in the City of Edmonds Comprehensive Walkway Plan. ƒObjective: Sidewalk Construction Policy. Clarify when sidewalks should be constructed as a condition of development. The following inventory has been updated from the 2002 Walkway Plan, and the existing facilities have been evaluated for ADA compliance. Walkway Inventory Pedestrian facilities within the city include sidewalks, walkways, roadway shoulders, and off-road trails. Those facilities are typically more concentrated in areas with high pedestrian activity, such as the downtown area, commercial and business centers, near schools and other public facilities. Figure 4-1 illustrates the locations within Edmonds that have pedestrian-intensive land uses. Packet Page 203 of 487 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 4-2 Figure 4-2 illustrates the existing sidewalks and walkways within the city. The figure shows that the sidewalk system is most complete inside the core area bounded by SR 104, 92nd Avenue W, and SR 524. Outside of this area, sidewalks are primarily located along roads classified as collectors or arterials. Raised and striped walkways are generally associated with schools and provide safe walking routes. The federal ADA was passed in 1990 and amended in 2008. ADA requires jurisdictions to provide accessible sidewalks primarily through the installation of ADA-compliant sidewalk ramps. The design requirements address various areas of concern such as curb alignment with crosswalks, narrower sidewalk width, obstacles such as utility poles, placement of the sidewalk adjacent to the curb, or the slope of the ramps. Most of the city’s sidewalk ramps were constructed in the 1980s or later. As pedestrian improvements are made along roadway corridors, the City has upgraded sidewalk ramps or installed new ones in accordance with current standards.

Sidewalk ramps were assessed to determine if landing areas and detection warning meet current ADA guidelines. The curb ramp inventory is provided in Appendix D. Of approximately 350 intersections in Edmonds, 42 intersections were found to fully meet ADA standards, and 24 intersections partially met ADA standards. Recommended Walkway Improvements This section presents recommended walkway improvements, which consist of new sidewalk connections to improve pedestrian mobility and safety, and upgrades of curb ramps to conform to ADA standards. Walkway Prioritization Process Major gaps in the city walkway system were identified by the Walkway Committee. To address those gaps, the Committee developed criteria to evaluate and prioritize walkway improvement projects. These criteria were used to prioritize improvements to walkway sections that were identified based on input from public meetings, Walkway Committee meetings, and deficiencies determined from a review of the existing city walkway inventory. The criteria were weighted according to their importance. A system of points was developed to evaluate each proposed project against each criterion. The result was a weighted average score that helps to compare and prioritize proposed projects. Table 4-1 describes the walkway prioritization criteria and their relative weights and point systems. Table 4-1. Prioritization Criteria for Walkway Projects Criteria Weight Description Points Pedestrian Safety 5 How safe is the route for pedestrians?

(Beyond 650 feet from a public transit route.) Availability of Existing Infrastructure 1 Is there existing infrastructure along this route that will significantly reduce project costs? 3 There is existing curb and gutter 2 There is partial curb and gutter 1 There is no curb and gutter Walkway sections were analyzed separately depending on the section length. Walkway sections longer than 1,000 feet are defined as “long walkways” and walkway sections shorter than 1,000 feet are defined as “short walkways”. Using the weighted and scoring criteria, projects with more than 50 points were designated as Priority 1, and projects with 50 points or less were designated as Priority 2. Table 4-2 summarizes the walkways that were considered for walkway improvements by the type of projects (i.e., short walkway or long walkway). The projects are listed in ranked order by the total points and by priority level. Figure 4-3 shows the locations of the walkway projects. Projected costs of the recommended walkway projects are provided in Chapter 6 (Implementation and Financial Plan) of this Transportation Plan. A more detailed summary of each project’s limits, existing conditions, and point tally is provided in Appendix D. Table 4-2.

Project L12 is an L-shaped project in which sidewalks are proposed on either side of Andover Street (the north-south leg), and on the north side of 184th Street SW (the east-west leg). Pedestrian access to transit stops is a critical element of the walkway improvement program. The City will continue to work with Community Transit to ensure that access to transit stops is as convenient and safe as possible. Community Transit offers its support in securing funds related to improving access to the existing transit system and transit facilities. In addition to the projects listed in Table 4-2, a variety of non-motorized enhancements are scheduled as part of the 4th Avenue Corridor Enhancement project. The City also plans to make improvements to pedestrian lighting throughout the city, with a project currently planned on Main Street between 5th Avenue and 6th Avenue. Additionally, the City is planning to update all pedestrian signals to the “countdown” signals, in accordance with the standards set in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (FHWA 2001) by 2013.

Citizen request for curb ramps should be addressed as they occur, and should be accommodated close to the time of the request unless there are circumstances which would cause them to be deferred, such as a pending construction project that would provide the ramps in a short time frame. Priorities for future sidewalk new ramp installations or ramp upgrades are determined based on the following priority order: 1. Downtown intersections receive priority over other locations; 2. Arterial streets receive priority over local access streets; 3. Intersections receive higher priority if they are near: a. Community centers, senior centers, or health facilities b. Transit stops, schools, or public buildings c. Commercial areas and parks. Implementation of the curb ramp upgrade program will need to occur over time, due to the costs of those upgrades. As part of asphalt overlay projects, all ramps adjacent to the paving work must be upgraded to meet ADA standards and new ramps installed where none exist. Sidewalk ramps will also be installed as part of street reconstruction and sidewalk construction projects. Private redevelopment will also fund some ramp upgrades as part of required frontage improvements. Appendix C provides a complete list of the intersection locations and the prioritization criteria. Bikeway Comprehensive Plan The City updated its comprehensive Bikeway Plan in 2009. The Bikeway Plan outlines a list of improvement projects for the bikeway system; and prioritizes bikeway projects, bicycle parking, and bikeway signage. Before signing the routes, problem catch basin grates are replaced, sight distance problems are addressed, and potholes and other safety hazards are corrected. Additionally, the Bikeway Plan includes maintenance of bicycle facilities. Per RCW 35.75.060 and 36.82.145, all bicycle facilities must comply with Chapter 1020 of the WSDOT Design Manual (WSDOT 2009) which is consistent with the Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities (AASHTO 1999). In addition to making project recommendations, the Bikeway Plan states several goals for the bicycle network in Edmonds. These goals are: ƒGoal 1: To promote more bicycling. ƒGoal 2: To provide safer streets and paths for those who bicycle in Edmonds Packet Page 213 of 487 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 4-12 ƒGoal 3: To provide better access to recreational opportunities for those who bicycle ƒ Goal 4: To provide better access to schools for those who bicycle ƒGoal 5: To provide better access to businesses for those who bicycle ƒGoal 6: To provide better access to transit for those who bicycle ƒGoal 7: To provide access to bicycling opportunities in other jurisdictions ƒGoal 8: To consider bicycle facilities and program in all City transportation programs and funding ƒGoal 9: To provide enhanced parking facilities for those who bicycle, making the mode more convenient ƒGoal 10: To provide maintenance provisions for City bicycle facilities The following inventory and recommended bicycle network improvements may be considered as complements to the Bikeway Comprehensive Plan. Bicycle Facility Inventory Figure 4-4 shows existing bicycle facilities within the city, which include bicycle routes, bicycle lanes, trails, and bicycle parking facilities. Bicycle routes are designated along vehicle travel lanes that are shared between bicycles and motor vehicles with signing. Bicycle lanes are dedicated lanes within the traveled roadway that are reserved solely for bicyclists and distinguished through the use of pavement markings. Bicycle lanes may be located adjacent to the curbs or parking lanes. Trails are physically separated from vehicular traffic, and are shared with pedestrians and other non-motorized users. The Interurban Trail, which links the cities of Seattle, Shoreline, Edmonds, Mountlake Terrace, Lynnwood, and Everett, runs through the southeastern portion of Edmonds. Upgrades to the trail are included in the City’s capital improvement program. Trails are also located along the city’s beaches and within city parks. There are also easy connections for cyclists to ferries, Sound Transit’s Sounder service, and Community Transit. Bicycles are allowed on all of these systems; WSF provides a reduced fare (relative to motorized vehicle fares) for bicycles, Sound Transit provides bike racks, and all Community Transit vehicles have bike racks.

The Bikeway Plan prioritizes bikeway projects, bicycle parking, and bikeway signage. The types of bikeway facilities that are recommended projects range from shared-use paths to bike lanes to bicycle parking. Shared-use or multiuse paths are physically separated from motorized vehicular traffic. They are designed and built primarily for use by bicycles, but are also used by pedestrians, joggers, skaters, wheelchair users (both non-motorized and motorized), equestrians, and other non-motorized users. The desirable width of a shared-use path is 12 feet; the minimum width is 10 feet. Bike lanes are established along streets in corridors where there is current or anticipated bicycle demand and where it would be unsafe for bicyclists to ride in the travel lane. Bike lanes delineate the rights of way assigned to bicyclists and motorists and provide for movements that are more predictable by each. The minimum width for a bike lane is 4 feet. However, when parking is permitted along the bike lane, an additional width of 1 to 2 feet is recommended if parking is substantial or the turnover of parked cars is high. With curb, guardrail, or barrier, the minimum bike lane width is 5 feet. Signed shared roadways are shared roadways that have been identified as preferred bike routes by posting bike route signs. A signed shared roadway bike route is established by placing the Bicycle Route signs or markers along the roadways according to guidelines set forth in the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (FHWA 2001). The Bikeway Plan categorizes bikeway projects into small bikeway projects and large bikeway projects. The distinction between these two categories is the funding sources. The small bikeway projects can be funded entirely through dedicated City funding; large bikeway projects will require grant funding and may be tied to a major roadway transportation project. Projected costs of the recommended bikeway projects are provided in Chapter 6 (Implementation and Financial Plan) of this Transportation Plan. Small Bikeway Projects Bicycle Loops Figure 4-5 shows three bicycle loops of various difficulties and lengths that are recommended along roads that have low speeds and low vehicle volumes. The Edmonds Bike Group helped establish these three bicycle loops. ƒThe short bicycle loop has an easy level of difficulty and a distance of 5 miles. ƒThe medium bicycle loop is a medium level of difficulty route; it follows a similar route as the short bicycle loop, but has an additional 2 miles for a total length of 7 miles. Packet Page 216 of 487 Non-Motorized System September 2009 4-15 ƒThe long bicycle loop is a scenic route designed for experienced cyclists. The total distance for the long bicycle loop is 20 miles with a portion located in the Town of Woodway. Shared Use Lanes Shared use lanes, or “sharrows,” are commonly used to indicate where on the roadway a cyclist should ride, and also to remind motorists to share the lane with bicycles when present. Sharrows consist of a roadway striping treatment, with chevron arrows and a bicycle symbol placed on the outside portion of the travel lane. Approved by FHWA as an experimental treatment (Pedestrian and Bicycle Information Center 2009) and expected to be included in the next edition of the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices, sharrows are a way for many jurisdictions to create low-cost and safe bicycle facilities. The City intends to create sharrows as necessary as it completes roadway projects. Bicycle Parking In planning for bicycle parking, both public and private property needs must be considered. The recommended standard for new commercial developments is one bicycle rack for every 12 vehicle spaces provided. The City considers the following criteria when reviewing the suitability of new bicycle racks: ƒThe bicycle racks shall be as convenient as the majority of automobile parking spaces provided. ƒAll racks shall be securely anchored to the ground or building structures. ƒBicycle racks shall be in a visible location, close to the building entrances. ƒBicycle racks must be designed to accommodate U-shaped locks. (U-shaped locks are designed to allow the lock both wheels and the bicycle frame to a stationary object.) Figure 4-6 shows the proposed bicycle parking locations identified in the City’s Bikeway Plan.

The large bikeway projects include bicycle lanes or bicycle routes that can be added as part of future roadway improvement projects. The large bikeway projects are concentrated around two major efforts: creating a north-south bicycle connection between downtown Edmonds and the Interurban Trail, and creating an east-west bicycle connection between the northern and southern portions of Edmonds. The north-south bicycle projects include: ƒ84th Avenue W, 238th Street SW - 212th Street SW ƒ80th Avenue W, 220th Street SW - 206th Street SW ƒ76th Avenue W, 224th Street SW - N Meadowdale Beach Drive The east-west bicycle projects include: ƒEdmonds Way/Sunset Avenue, Edmonds Street - city limits ƒ224th Street SW, 100th Avenue W - the Interurban Trail Other large bikeway projects include: ƒOlympic View Drive, Puget Drive - 76th Avenue W (less steep route) ƒ3rd Avenue N, Main Street - Caspers Street ƒCaspers Street, 3rd Avenue N - 9th Avenue N ƒ9th Avenue N, Caspers Street - Puget Drive Interurban Trail The City is planning to complete the 1.4-mile link of the Interurban Trail between the cities of Shoreline and Mountlake Terrace. The planned alignment runs roughly parallel to 76th Avenue W, south of 228th Street SW. The “interurban corridor” is a former inter-city rail line, part of a nationwide system of similar lines that operated from the 1890’s to the 1930’s. This vital project is significant because it is the “missing link” north and beyond to Everett and south through the recently completed Shoreline Interurban Trail to Seattle and beyond. Locally and regionally this community supported trail will provide safe passage and a healthy alternative to connect homes, work, services, recreation sites and other modes of transportation. The trail lies along view corridors of Lake Ballinger with waterfront access and a respite stop with shelter and information kiosk at 76th Ave and McAleer Way. For consistency in style, the City’s proposed design follows the lead of surrounding communities matching them in 12-foot width, design, historical elements, signage and landscaping. Shared road portions along busy 76th Avenue West and the quieter residential 74th Avenue West will be reconfigured and improved to add dedicated bicycle lanes. Traffic calming techniques will be installed at road crossings as well as appropriate signage.

Transit and Transportation Demand Management This chapter provides an inventory of existing transit facilities and services, including buses, rail and ferries. Strategies to increase transit use including Transportation Demand Management and other transit improvements are then presented. Existing Transit Service Community Transit Community Transit, the major provider of public transit for Snohomish County, operates three types of transit service in the city: ƒFixed bus route service ƒRideshare services ƒDial-A-Ride Transit (DART) paratransit service Fixed Route Bus Service Fixed bus routes are local or commuter services that operate on a standardized schedule. Figure 5- 1 shows the bus routes that serve the city. Table 5-1 summarizes local bus routes serving the city, which provide two-way service between destinations in the city and surrounding areas, from morning through evening. Table 5-2 summarizes commuter bus routes serving the city, which provide service to major employment destinations in Snohomish and King Counties. Commuter routes typically operate only during the weekday morning and evening peak commute periods. Every Community Transit bus is equipped to accommodate wheelchairs. All buses are also equipped with bicycle racks.

King County Metro Transit King County Metro does not provide local service within Edmonds, but connections are available between Community Transit and Metro routes at the Aurora Village Transit Center just south of the city. Sound Transit Express Bus Sound Transit (ST), which provides regional bus service to the urban portions of Snohomish, King, and Pierce counties, does not have an established express bus stop in Edmonds. However, ST express bus service is available at transit centers or park-and-ride lots in the vicinity of Edmonds (Swamp Creek, Lynnwood Transit Center, Mountlake Terrace Transit Center) and can be accessed by Community Transit. Packet Page 227 of 487 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 5-8 Park-and-Ride Facilities The primary commuter parking facility in the city is the Edmonds park-and-ride lot located at 72nd Avenue West and 213th Place SW. This facility, which has a capacity for 255 cars, is owned by WSDOT and operated by Community Transit. This facility offers bus service to Lynnwood, downtown Seattle, Redmond, Everett, Shoreline and Seattle’s University District. The average utilization rate of this facility is 71% (Community Transit 2008). Many routes also serve the Edmonds Senior Center, Edmonds Station and Edmonds Ferry Terminal. Parking available in the vicinity of these facilities includes a total of 220 spaces near the ferry terminal and 179 spaces at the Edmonds Station. Edmonds Community College also serves as a transit hub, but no public parking is available at this location. Table 5-3 summarizes the park-and-ride lots that serve Edmonds. Table 5-3.

Other transfer hubs include Edmonds Community College and Mountlake Terrace Transit Center. These Community Transit routes connect with King County Metro service at Aurora Village, Mountlake Terrace, and Bothell; Everett Transit in the City of Everett; the Washington State Ferry at the Edmonds and Mukilteo Terminals; with Sound Transit at various park-and-ride lots in the south Snohomish County; and Island Transit in the City of Stanwood. Rail Service Passenger rail service in Edmonds is provided by Sound Transit’s Sounder commuter rail and Amtrak’s intercity rail. The rail station is located at 211 Railroad Avenue and can be accessed by Community Transit. Packet Page 228 of 487 Transit and Transportation Demand Management September 2009 5-9 Sounder Commuter Rail The Sounder commuter rail line operates between Seattle and Everett, with stops in Edmonds and Mukilteo. Through a partnership with Amtrak, Amtrak trains are also available for commuters along this route. Sounder operates four southbound trains during the morning commute period and four northbound trains during the evening commute period. Amtrak operates one additional train in each direction during both the morning commute period and the evening commute period. Amtrak Service Amtrak operates two routes with stops in Edmonds: the Amtrak Cascades and the Empire Builder. Amtrak Cascades Edmonds serves as a stop along the Seattle – Vancouver route. Service is daily, with two northbound trains (8:07 am and 7:07 pm) and two southbound trains (10:21 am and 9:19 pm) stopping in Edmonds per day. From Edmonds, one of the two northbound trains terminates in Bellingham while the other terminates in Vancouver, British Columbia. One southbound Cascades train originates in Bellingham while the other begins in Vancouver, BC. The Cascades route’s northbound service provides connections to Everett, Mount Vernon, and Bellingham in Washington State, and Surrey, Richmond, and Vancouver in British Columbia. Southbound service terminates in Seattle. Travelers who wish to take rail south to destinations between Seattle and Portland are best served by traveling to Seattle to take the Seattle–Portland route. Empire Builder The Empire Builder provides cross-country service between Seattle and Chicago. Its route traverses the states of Washington, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois. Service is daily, with one eastbound train departing from Edmonds each evening (5:17 pm). One westbound train arrives in Edmonds each morning (9:05 am). Washington State Ferries The Edmonds-Kingston ferry route connects the northern portion of the Kitsap Peninsula and the Olympic Peninsula with northern King and southern Snohomish Counties. The route is 4.5 nautical miles long, and takes approximately 30 minutes to traverse. The Edmonds-Kingston route operates seven days per week year round, with average headways ranging between 35 and 75 minutes. In 2006, the Edmonds-Kingston route carried 4.3 million people, at an average of 12,200 passengers per day (WSF Origin Destination Onboard Survey 2006). A 2006 Washington State Ferries (WSF) survey indicates that in-vehicle boardings were the most prevalent, with about 87 Packet Page 229 of 487 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 5-10 percent of passengers boarding in this manner on the average weekday. Walk-on passengers constituted 13 percent of all passengers on an average weekday. The WSF survey indicates that during the PM peak period (3 PM to 7 PM), approximately two-thirds of the total passengers on the Edmonds-Kingston route are traveling west to the Kitsap / Olympic Peninsulas from Edmonds, and about one-third are traveling eastbound to Edmonds from the west. Transportation Demand Management TDM consists of strategies that seek to maximize the efficiency of the transportation system by reducing demand on the system. The results of successful TDM can include the following benefits: ƒTravelers switch from driving alone to high-occupancy vehicle modes such as transit, vanpools, or carpools. ƒTravelers switch from driving to non-motorized modes such as bicycling or walking. ƒTravelers change the time they make trips from more congested to less congested times of day. ƒTravelers eliminate trips altogether either through means such as compressed work weeks, consolidation of errands, or use of telecommunications. Within the State of Washington, alternative transportation solutions are necessitated by the objectives of the Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) Law. Passed in 1991 as a section of the Washington Clean Air Act (RCW 70.94), the CTR Law seeks to reduce workplace commute trips. The purpose of CTR is to help maintain air quality in metropolitan areas by reducing congestion and air pollution. This law requires Edmonds to adopt a CTR plan requiring private and public employers with 100 or more employees to implement TDM programs. Programs provide various incentives or disincentives to encourage use of alternative transportation modes other than the single-occupant vehicle. The City promotes TDM through policy and/or investments that may include, but are not limited to, the following: ƒParking management; ƒTrip reduction ordinances; ƒRestricted access to facilities and activity centers; and ƒTransit-oriented and pedestrian-friendly design. The City can support the CTR Law and regional vehicle trip reduction strategies by working with employers to encourage the reduction of commuter single-occupant vehicle use. Community Transit assists employers in developing plans that meet specific trip reduction needs as required by the CTR Law. Flex time, parking management, vanpooling, and carpooling are some of the available options. Community Transit offers free Employee Transportation Coordinator Training Packet Page 230 of 487 Transit and Transportation Demand Management September 2009 5-11 Workshops for employers affected by CTR. Transportation consulting services are also available to interested employers not affected by CTR. Community Transit also conducts community outreach programs that fall within the realm of TDM. There are three employers in Edmonds that participate in the CTR program: the City of Edmonds, Stevens Hospital, and Edmonds Family Medicine Clinic. Each employer measures its progress toward its goal of reducing single-occupant vehicle trips by conducting an employee survey every other year. Community Transit assists in this effort, and reviews the results to see if the employers are in compliance with CTR goals. Future Transit Improvements Chapter 2 of this Transportation Plan identifies a number of specific goals, objectives and policies aiming at enhancing transit options and operations in the City. One of the City’s goals is to “prioritize and finance improvements for the greatest public benefit, emphasizing transit, demand management, and maintenance of current facilities”. Bus Shelters and Benches Providing additional shelters and benches at bus stops has been identified as a high priority for the City. At all appropriate locations, sidewalk improvement or construction projects will include the creation of boarding pads to allow for shelters. The City will continue to work with Community Transit to ensure that bus stops and shelters fit in with the local street design. Community Transit is also committed to expanding the number of locations with stop shelters, adding 25 new locations each year (on the entire system) in addition to maintaining and replacing existing shelters. Table 5-4 lists the top priority locations identified by the City for bus shelters and seating. Table 5-4.

A Simme-Seat is a double seat that is attached to a bus stop pole. Transit Emphasis Corridors Community Transit’s Six Year Transit Development Plan and 20 Year Long Range Plan describe a network of Transit Emphasis Corridors on arterial streets and highways connecting urban centers in Snohomish County. SR 99 and 196th Street SW are Transit Emphasis Corridors in Edmonds. The long-term vision for these corridors is coordinated land use, infrastructure, and transit planning that will encourage transit market development and will enable effective service by Community Transit. The Transit Development Plan calls for increasing the frequency and span of local service providing east-west connections across south Snohomish County between Mill Creek, Lynnwood and Edmonds including the 164th St SW and 196th St SW transit emphasis corridors. Swift Bus Rapid Transit This process is moving forward on SR 99 with the implementation of Swift Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), which will begin service in fall 2009. Swift will operate throughout the day, seven days a week, providing service between Shoreline and Everett. Swift will operate with 10-minute frequency from 5:00 am to 7:00 pm, and with 20-minute frequency from 7:00 pm to midnight and on weekends. Swift BRT will serve landmark stations located at approximately one mile intervals along the route. The City worked closely with Community Transit on the Swift BRT alignment Packet Page 232 of 487 Transit and Transportation Demand Management September 2009 5-13 and station locations. There are two stations located along SR 99 in Edmonds: at 238th St SW and at 216th St SW. Local service on Route 101 will continue to operate in the corridor. Additional Fixed Route Transit Service The City will continue to coordinate with Community Transit regarding additional bus transit service on Olympic View Drive or east of 76th Avenue N. In addition, the City has adopted a policy (see Policy 8.12 in Chapter 2) to explore future funding for a city-based circulator bus that provides local shuttle service between neighborhoods (Firdale Village, Perrinville, Five Corners, Westgate) and downtown. Edmonds Crossing Multimodal Facility The City is also a partner in the Edmonds Crossing multimodal ferry, bus, and rail facility. Sound Transit is planning to relocate Edmonds station as part of the larger Edmonds Crossing Multimodal project being led by WSDOT. The location of the preferred alternative for the multimodal project in the Final Environmental Impact Statement would relocate the station south of Edmonds marina, near Point Edwards. The project would also improve traffic circulation in downtown Edmonds by eliminating at-grade railroad crossings. The Washington legislature approved $4 million for the project during the 2007-2009 biennium. However, funding for the remaining $122 million is not secured. Packet Page 233 of 487 Packet Page 234 of 487 September 2009 6-1 Chapter 6. Implementation and Financial Plan This chapter provides a summary of the projects, project prioritization, total costs, projected revenue, and implementation strategies for recommended improvements through 2025. Project Costs Preliminary costs for proposed transportation projects were estimated at a planning level, based on 2009 dollars. Estimates were based on typical unit costs, as applied to each type of improvement, and are not the result of preliminary engineering. Annual programs such as asphalt street overlay show projected expenditures beginning in 2010. These planning-level estimates of probable cost were the basis for the financial plan. Table 6-1 summarizes the estimated costs for the recommended transportation projects and programs through 2025. The table shows that the cost of fully funding all operations, safety, and maintenance projects and programs through 2025, as presented in this Transportation Plan, is $103,046,300.

Packet Page 239 of 487 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 6-6 Revenue Sources Current Sources of Revenue Revenue sources available to the City for financing the transportation improvements are listed below. ƒGrants – State and federal grants may be obtained through a competitive application process. Grant sources include the following: -FHWA – The federal government has funds that are made available to the State of Washington and local agencies from federal gas taxes. The allocations are based on the competitive evaluation of specific projects against other projects within the State and region. To be eligible for funding, a project must be located on a route designated as arterial or collector in the federal classification (see Figures 3-2 and 3-3). Grant programs include Congestion Mitigation Air Quality, Intersection and Corridor Safety, Surface Transportation Program (STP) Regional, Transportation Enhancement Program (statewide), and direct allocations. -Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development – Federal funds are distributed as Community Development Block Grants through Snohomish County. Grants are competitive based on the merits of the projects and are targeted to benefit low income areas. Typically, a project must be located in a census tract or block with a majority of residents with low to moderate income. Through the grant amounts are relatively small they can be used on local streets in residential areas for sidewalk and sidewalk ramp construction. -Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) – The Transportation Improvement Board provides grants using the State’s portion of the gas tax. Projects are selected on a competitive basis and programs vary from sidewalks to corridor improvements. To be eligible a project must be located on an arterial or collector. The TIB is an independent state agency that distributes grant funding, which comes from the revenue generated by three cents of the statewide gas tax, to cities and counties for funding transportation projects. The TIB provides funding to its urban customers through three state-funded grant programs: x Urban Arterial Program (UAP)– best suited for roadway projects that improve safety and mobility. x Urban Corridor Program (UCP) – best suited for roadway projects with multiple funding partners that expand capacity. x Sidewalk Program (SP) – best suited for sidewalk projects that improve safety and connectivity. -Additional State Grants – Other grants available at the state level include, but are not excluded to, Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety and Safe Routes to Schools. Packet Page 240 of 487 Implementation and Financial Plan September 2009 6-7 ƒTraffic Impact / Mitigation Fees – Impact fees were recently instituted within the City and are paid by developers to mitigate the impacts on the transportation system. ƒReal Estate Excise Tax –This is a tax on all sales of real estate, measured by the full selling price, including the amount of any liens, mortgages and other debts given to secure the purchase at a rate of 1.28 percent. The City is eligible to receive proceeds from the tax if they have planned under the Growth Management Act. The funds must be used for capital improvements. The State and Counties receive 0.78 percent and the City 0.5 percent. ƒMotor Vehicle Fuel Tax – The motor vehicle fuel tax is collected by the State and 2.4 cents per gallon are distributed to cities for roadway construction purposes. The money is distributed based on the population of each city. ƒGeneral Fund – The General Fund includes a broad range of taxes and fees such as sales tax and building permit fees. These revenue sources may be used for all City activities. ƒJoint Agency Funding – Edmonds adjoins unincorporated Snohomish County and several other cities. When projects are located in two more jurisdictions, resources are combined to fund them. ƒGeneral Obligation Bonds – These are bonds issued by the City that are financed through future anticipated tax revenues. ƒParks Funding – Funding provided through the City Parks Department, to be used jointly with transportation funding for pedestrian and bicycle projects. Table 6-2 summarizes potential revenue projected through 2025, based upon current sources and funding history. Table 6-2. Potential Revenue Source Amount Grants (unsecured) $12,080,650 Traffic Impact / Mitigation Fees 6,353,485 Real Estate Excise Tax 4,000,000 Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax 2,000,000 Transfers from Other Funds 2,062,650 Utility Resurfacing 1,795,488 Joint Agency1 8,000,000 Interest Income 511,331 Development Sidewalks 23,021 Parks Funding – Interurban Trail 1,326,000 Parks Funding - 4th Ave Enhancement 2,365,000 Miscellaneous 193,306 TOTAL $40,710,931 1. Assumes joint funding with Snohomish County for the recommended 84th Avenue improvement. Packet Page 241 of 487 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 6-8 Based upon the total costs of recommended projects summarized in Table 6-1, and the potential revenue based upon current sources and funding history, the estimated total revenue shortfall through 2025 is $62,335,369. Other Potential Financing Options The City will continue to explore new options to fund transportation projects and programs that are important to citizens. Options that could be considered include the following: ƒTransportation Benefit District – A Transportation Benefit District (TBD) can fund any transportation improvement contained in any existing state or regional transportation plan that is necessitated by existing or reasonably foreseeable congestion levels. The legislative authority of a city to create a TBD by ordinance is set forth in RCW 36.73. Projects covered by a TBD can include maintenance and improvements to city streets, county roads, state highways, investments in high capacity transportation, public transportation, transportation demand management and other transportation projects identified in a regional transportation planning organization plan or state plan. A variety of revenue options are available. An annual vehicle license fee of up to $20 per license can be passed by the City of Edmonds TBD, and is not subject to voter approval. The legislation also allows a TBD the ability to collect additional annual vehicle license fees up to a total of $100 per license per year in addition to sales and property taxes, subject to voter approval. The City has already enacted the $20 per year vehicle license fee, which is slated to fund City Street Operations only. Additional TBD funding above the amount of the TBD in Edmonds would be subject to voter approval. If additional TBD funding were implemented, the City would work with PSRC to incorporate projects into the regional transportation so that they would be eligible for funding. The regional and state plans have already identified a broad range of local transportation improvements as priorities, and the multi-modal mobility and safety projects presented in this Transportation Plan are consistent with those priorities. ƒLocal Improvement District/Roadway Improvement District –LIDs, enabled under RCW 35.43, are a means of assisting benefitting properties in financing needed capital improvements. A special type of LID is a Roadway Improvement District (RID). LIDs may be applied to water, sewer and storm sewer facilities, as well as roads; but RIDs may only be applied to street improvements. LIDs and RIDs are special assessment districts in which improvements will specially benefit primarily the property owners in the district. They are created under the sponsorship of a municipal government and are not self governing special purpose districts. To the extent and in the manner noted in the enabling statutes, they must be approved by both the local government and benefited property owners. ƒAdditional Grants – Revenue projections summarized in Table 6-2 assume that the City will be able obtain future grant funding at levels consistent with what has been obtained historically. It may be possible for the City to obtain higher levels of grant funding than what has been historically obtained. However, state and federal grants are obtained through a Packet Page 242 of 487 Implementation and Financial Plan September 2009 6-9 highly competitive process, and other municipalities are also likely to increase their requests for grant funding to address their own revenue shortfalls, so it is likely that only a small portion of the City’s revenue shortfall could be covered through additional grant funding. ƒBusiness License Fee for Transportation – Cities have the option of including a fee to fund transportation projects, as part of business license fees. This is typically an annual fee that is charged per full time equivalent (FTE) employee. In order for this type of fee to be successful, cities typically collaborate very closely with business owners, to identify projects and programs for funding that would be of most benefit to local businesses. Table 6-3 summarizes potential levels of revenue that could be obtained by these additional sources, if they were approved by the City Council and by citizens. The table shows that the transportation funding shortfall could be covered by a combination of these optional revenue sources. Table 6-3. Potential Revenue from Additional Optional Sources Source Amount TBD license fee at $80 per license per year1 $ 46,592,000 Local Improvement District / Roadway Improvement District2 15,743,369 Additional grants3 Additional joint agency funding4 Business license fee for transportation $62,335,369 1. Assumes 36,000 vehicles (40,000 population x 0.91 vehicles per capita) for 16 years. The total amount shown is that portion above the $20 portion that has already been passed and committed to fund transportation operations. 2. Enacted to pay for specific projects with the district that is defined. Any funding obtained through an LID or RID would lower the fees needed from the other optional sources. 3. Obtained through application process for specific projects. Any funding obtained through additional grants would lower the fees needed from the other optional sources. 4. Obtained from adjacent jurisdictions in which specific projects are co-located. Several recommended projects are located in areas also under the jurisdiction of the cities of Mountlake Terrace, Lynnwood, Shoreline, Snohomish County, and/or WSDOT. Project Prioritization Program Priority Although all projects and programs presented in this Transportation Plan are important to the City, they can only be implemented as funding becomes available. Guided by feedback from citizens, and also by state laws, the following priority order has been established. 1.Maintenance and Preservation – The City is committed to maintaining existing transportation facilities in which substantial public investment have been made, and which are critical to maintaining transportation mobility and safety. This has also been identified as the top priority by citizens. Packet Page 243 of 487 Comprehensive Transportation Plan City of Edmonds 6-10 2.Safety Improvements on City Streets – Road safety projects are also identified as a high priority by citizens. Some concurrency projects also address safety issues; however, additional safety projects will be a high priority if additional funding is obtained from alternative sources. 3.Concurrency – GMA requires that projects needed to maintain concurrency must be in place within six years of the time that they are triggered by development. If concurrency projects are not implemented, new development that those projects would support cannot be approved. Thus, concurrency projects must be implemented to support planned land use identified in the Comprehensive Plan. 4.Walkway Connections – Completion of walkway connections is consistent with the City’s policies to support a strong pedestrian network, and has also been identified as a high priority by citizens. Completing walkway connections will be a high priority if additional funding is obtained from alternative sources. 5.Curb Ramp Upgrades – ADA requires that the City have a program in place to retrofit curb ramps that do not meet ADA standards. The City will continue to implement curb ramp upgrades in conjunction with street construction and maintenance projects, but completion of the Curb Ramp Upgrade Program by 2025 will require additional funding over current projections. 6.Bicycle Route Signing and Facility Upgrade – The City will continue to incorporate bikeways into street improvement and maintenance projects where feasible, whether they consist of separate bicycle lanes, or marking for shared bicycle/vehicle lanes. However, completion of the Bike Plan, including signing and provision of bicycle parking, will require additional funding over current projections. 7.Improvements on SR 104 (Edmonds Way) – Operational deficiencies have been projected for SR 104. As a Highway of Statewide significance, this road is not subject to local concurrency rules. The City will continue to coordinate with WSDOT to address problems as they are identified, but will not be able to fund improvements on this road unless additional sources of funds over current projections are obtained. 8.Traffic Calming Program – The City will continue to address neighborhood traffic safety issues on a case by case basis as they are identified; however, implementation of the full Traffic Calming Program will require additional funding over current projections to be obtained. Implementation Plan Transportation Improvement Plan 2010-2025 The Comprehensive Transportation Plan serves to guide the development of surface transportation within the City, based upon evaluation of existing conditions, projection and Packet Page 244 of 487 Implementation and Financial Plan September 2009 6-11 evaluation of future conditions that result from the City’s adopted future land use plan, and priorities stated by Edmonds citizens. A six-year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is prepared each year, which identifies transportation projects needed to respond to planned growth of the community, and to meet safety and mobility objectives. The TIP integrates City transportation improvement projects and resources with other agencies in order to maximize financing opportunities such as grants, bonds, city funds, donations, impact fees, and other available funding. The TIP is maintained as follows: 1.Provide for annual review by the City Council as part of the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) contained in the Comprehensive Plan capital facilities element. 2.Ensure that the TIP: ƒIs consistent with the Comprehensive Plan; ƒDefines a project’s need, and links it to LOS and facility plans; ƒIncludes construction costs, timing, and funding sources; and considers operations and maintenance impacts where appropriate; and ƒEstablishes project development priorities. Table 6-4 summarizes the recommended Transportation Improvement Plan, 2010 through 2025, which is a comprehensive multimodal plan that is based on extensive public input and reflects a major update of the 2003 Plan. The table also identifies which projects are recommended for inclusion in the 2010-2015 TIP. Table 6-4.

Contingency Plan in Case of Revenue Shortfall Some revenue sources are very secure and highly reliable. However, other revenue sources are volatile, and therefore difficult to predict with confidence. To cover the shortfall identified in the previous section, or in the event that revenue from one or more of these sources is not forthcoming in the amounts forecasted in this Transportation Plan, the City has several options: ƒChange the LOS standard, and therefore reduce the need for road capacity improvement projects. ƒIncrease the amount of revenue from existing sources. ƒFind new sources of revenue which could include additional federal and state grants, additional TBD funding, business license fee for transportation, and/or LID/RIDs. ƒRequire developers to provide such facilities at their own expense. ƒChange the Land Use Element in the Comprehensive Plan to reduce the amount of development, and thus reduce the need for additional public facilities; or to further concentrate growth along higher capacity roads that are served by transit.

Implementation of a traffic calming program allows traffic concerns to be addressed consistently and traffic calming measures to be efficiently developed and put into operation. In establishing a neighborhood traffic calming program, the City must take into account the restriction that no deviation from Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) design standards is permitted on principal arterials, minor arterials and collector streets without express approval of the WSDOT local programs engineer (RCW 35.78). This limitation does not apply to local access streets, which are defined by RCW 35.78.010 as streets “…generally limited to providing access to abutting property… tributary to major and secondary thoroughfares… generally discouraging through traffic…” Therefore, the City’s traffic calming program focuses on local access streets. The Traffic Calming Program consists of a three-phase process: Phase 1 Petition and Review for Qualification): To begin the process, residents submit a petition for local street traffic concerns, and the City reviews the application and investigates the site to determine if the application qualifies for the Traffic Calming Program. Phase 2 (Education and Enforcement) focuses on education and enforcement solutions, including educational flyers, police enforcement, neighborhood speed watch, signing, and striping modifications. If those solutions are not effective in reducing speed or cut-through traffic, then the process moves on to Phase 3. Phase 3 (Installation of Traffic Calming Device) consists of working with residents to identify the appropriate traffic calming device to be installed, which could include traffic circles, chicanes, and narrowed lanes. If approved by residents in the affected area, the device is planned for installation. Packet Page 279 of 487 Exhibit A illustrates the three-phase process. Each phase of the Traffic Calming Program is summarized in the following sections. Due to economic considerations, city streets that are ineligible for the Traffic Calming Program include: 1. Streets classified other than local streets, including dead-end streets. 2. Streets scheduled for resurfacing within the next two years. 3. Streets with grades, curvatures or other physical conditions where addition of any device would create unsafe conditions. 4. Streets not meeting average daily traffic requirements (see Phase 1 Qualification section).

Staff reviews traffic calming devices for funding, priority, technical feasibility Staff develops traffic calming solutions with police and fire departments’ approval August 2009 Exhibit A. Traffic Calming Program Process Program applies to neighborhood residential through streets. Packet Page 281 of 487 Phase 1 – Petition and Review for Qualification Phase 1 of the program includes resident petition to begin the process and City review for qualification of the application. Phase 1 consists of the following steps: Citizen Action Re uest and Petition The program begins when a resident turns in a “Citizen Action Request Form” and a “Petition Form” to show neighborhood consensus of the traffic concerns. The Citizen Action Request Form, as shown in Exhibit B, identifies the type of traffic concerns, such as cut-through traffic, vehicle speed, and safety concerns present in the neighborhood. The Petition Form, as shown in Exhibit C, indicates neighborhood consensus that the traffic concerns should be studied. A minimum of eight adult resident signatures from separate addresses on the subject street will be required prior to going forward with the program. City Staff Review City staff will research the issues and acknowledge the requestor if the petition is a candidate for the program. The issues must be on a local access (non-arterial/non-collector) street. If the traffic concern is on an arterial or collector, City staff will inform the Police Department of the concern and ask for additional enforcement. City staff will also acknowledge the requestor if the issues have been previously reviewed and action was taken; if previous investigations have deemed the problem unsolvable, and if the problem is part of an ongoing investigation/action. Site Visit and Data Collection City staff will schedule a meeting with the residents at the problem location to investigate the traffic concerns. City staff will survey traffic signing, pavement markings, sight distances, parking, and road conditions along the subject street. If there appear to be simple solutions to the issues, such as brush trimming, speed limit signs, or channelization, City will implement them as soon as feasible. If the issues are not easy to identify from the site survey, City staff will collect baseline traffic data (traffic volume counts, cut-through traffic, travel speed, and historical accident data) for problem clarification and for future evaluation. Packet Page 282 of 487 ualification City staff will compare the baseline traffic data to the following criteria to determine if the petition qualifies for the program. The criteria to determine if a petition qualifies for the program include the following: The average daily traffic volume on the subject street must be between 500 and 3,000 vehicles per day, because average daily traffic below or above these limits is not suitable for a neighborhood traffic calming device. If the traffic concern is related to safety, there have been at least 3 reported collisions in the past 3 years at the same location. If the traffic concern is related to cut-through traffic, the peak hour (AM or PM, whatever is higher) cut-through traffic is greater than 25% of total traffic and greater than 15 vehicles per hour. If the traffic concern is related to speeding, the daily 85th percentile speed (the speed below which 85% of the cars are traveling) is 8 mph over the posted speed limit. If the baseline traffic data show that the criteria are not met, the City will inform the requestor, record the request and continue to monitor the situation. Packet Page 283 of 487 Exhibit B.

The Traffic Calming process involves active participation of our community. The decision making process may re uire us to set and attend neighborhood meetings and conduct further petition campaigns. Name Address Phone Signature Make additional copies as necessary. Packet Page 285 of 487 Phase 2 – Education and Enforcement Phase 2 of the program focuses solutions that include education of drivers on existing traffic regulations, and a focus on enforcement of those regulations. During this phase, neighborhood concerns are addressed by informing drivers of safety issues, by using traffic enforcement techniques, or by adding signs or pavement markings to change driver behavior. These solutions can be an effective way to address speeding within neighborhoods by residents themselves. The City can implement these less restrictive solutions more easily and quickly than physical traffic calming devices. It is recognized, however, that these solutions may produce benefits that are only temporary, and that conditions need to be monitored. Phase 2 consists of the following steps: Development of Solutions If the application is qualified for the program, then City staff will use the baseline traffic data, along with insights and suggestions from area residents, to determine which solutions will be used to improve the traffic issues. Table 1provides a comparison of advantages, disadvantages, and effectiveness of potential Phase 2 solutions. Implementation Once the solutions are determined, they will be implemented with the assistance of the neighborhood residents. The solutions would be implemented for at least three months to provide a traffic adjustment period. Evaluation Eight to fourteen months after the Phase 2 solutions have been implemented, conditions will be evaluated by City staff based on new traffic, speed, and accident data. The results will be compared with the previous data to measure the effectiveness of these traffic calming solutions. There are three possible outcomes based on the results: If the daily 85th percentile speed is 5 mph or less over the posted limit; or if peak hour (AM or PM) cut-through traffic is at or less than 25% of the total traffic or less than 15 cut-through vehicles, no further action will be taken. If the daily 85th percentile speed is at or below 10 mph but above 8 mph over the posted limit, another Phase 2 solution will be developed and implemented. The City staff will meet with the requestor and neighborhood residents to review if other solutions would be more effective. The application will move to Phase 3 if it meets the following conditions: The daily 85th percentile is over 10 mph greater than the posted limit; or The peak hour (AM or PM) cut-through traffic is greater than 25% of the total traffic and greater than 15 vehicles per hour.

Packet Page 288 of 487 Packet Page 289 of 487 Phase 3 – Installation of Traffic Calming Devices Phase 3 of the program involves modifying the physical geometry of the roadway to install traffic calming devices. Traffic calming devices are much more expensive and more restrictive to local traffic than the education and enforcement solutions in Phase 2. Because of this, traffic calming devices require a much greater level of resident involvement and agreement for implementation. Phase 3 consists of the following steps: City Staff Review If the petition qualifies for a traffic calming device, City staff will conduct a preliminary review with the following tasks. City staff will score the petition by using the Scoring Criteria shown in Table 2. Because traffic calming devices are much more expensive to implement than Phase 2 solutions, the City will use the score to decide the priority to fund a traffic calming device. Applications will be processed in order of priority, in accordance with available funding. City staff will identify the technical feasibility and constraints of potential traffic calming devices. The following are technical aspects that will be considered when reviewing the proposed placement of a traffic calming device: Traffic rerouting. It must be assured that the problem will not shift to adjacent streets. Adequate provisions should be made for buses (school, metro, para-transit), garbage collection, moving vans, construction equipment, pedestrians, and bicyclists, where traffic calming devices are installed. Emergency response times and the need to move vehicles through the area should be considered. The cumulative effect of traffic calming devices on emergency vehicle response times should also be considered. Drainage. It must be assured that devices will allow adequate drainage. If curbs and gutters are not present, the design of individual devices may need to be modified to restrict drivers from using the shoulders to avoid the devices. Proximity to other traffic calming devices and intersections. Roadway surface conditions. Traffic calming devices should be installed on paved roadways with good surface conditions. Roadway grade. Some traffic calming devices should not be used on grades exceeding 8%. Effect of the devices on street sweeping and other maintenance activities. Potential loss of on-street parking. Potential increase in noise levels due to the device. Potential changes to community character. Sight distance obstructions related to landscaping, fences, roadway alignment, grade, etc. Packet Page 290 of 487 Potential impact to residential driveways. City staff will define the study area to ensure it includes all residents that could be affected by a traffic calming device. Table 2. Scoring Criteria for Traffic Calming Devices Criterion Points Average Weekday Daily Traffic (AWDT) 500 – 1,000 vehicles/day 1 1,001 – 2,000 vehicles/day 2 2,001 – 3,000 vehicles/day 3 Traffic Speed (85th Percentile) 5.1 – 8.0 mph above posted limit 2 8.1 – 10.0 mph above posted limit 4 More than 10 mph above posted limit 6 Cut-Through Traffic 25% - 49% of AWDT 1 50% - 74% of AWDT 2 More than 74% of AWDT 3 Accident History of Past 3 Years 1 accident/year 3 2 accidents/year 4 3 accidents/year 5 More than 3 accidents/year 7 Parks / Schools Greater than 6 blocks 1 Between 3 and 6 blocks 2 Within 3 blocks 3 Street Conditions Sidewalks on both sides of street 1 Sidewalks on one side of street 2 No Sidewalks 3 Packet Page 291 of 487 Development of Traffic Calming Solutions City staff will hold a public meeting for all residents within the study area. In conjunction with neighborhood volunteers, City staff will organize the meeting and ensure the neighborhood residents are notified of the meeting. The meeting may include following discussions. Review the effectiveness of Phase 2 solutions. Discuss the funding and priority of the application among other traffic calming applications within the City. Discuss possible traffic calming devices and advantages, disadvantages, and special concerns of these devices. Discuss the entire process for Phase 3 implementation. Establish workgroups to allow residents to work out the solutions with the help of City staff. Include the Fire and Police Departments to discuss possible reduction in response times with traffic calming devices, cumulative effect with existing devices, and other issues relating to specific concerns of the neighborhood layout. The workgroups will discuss the problems and alternative solutions with their neighbors and report their findings to the rest of the group and City staff. The City staff will evaluate technical feasibility of the traffic calming devices that are selected by the neighborhood workgroups. The City staff will then determine the preferred traffic calming device with the approval from the Fire and Police Departments. Table 3 provides a comparison of advantages, disadvantages, and effectiveness of potential traffic calming devices. Approval for Preferred Device When a preferred traffic calming device is selected, the City staff will send out a voting sheet to each of the affected residents. For a traffic calming device to be implemented, 60% of the households, based on returned ballots, must approve the installation of the proposed traffic calming device. Installation of Traffic Calming Device Once funding is available for the application, the City will begin the design and construction of the approved traffic calming device. Tasks before the construction of the device are discussed below. Baseline Data Collection Before the installation of the device, City staff will collect baseline traffic data within the study area for future comparison and effectiveness evaluation. This traffic data will be used to evaluate whether traffic shifted from the subject street to adjacent streets and to what extent the traffic Packet Page 292 of 487 shifted after a device was installed. The baseline data will also be used to evaluate the effectiveness of a device by comparison to future traffic data. Installation of Temporary Device A temporary device may be installed for traffic calming measures, such as diverter, full closure, and partial closure. If appropriate, the City will install a temporary device for up to 6 months to provide a trial period. If proposed by the City, the City will evaluate the effectiveness of the device and examine whether traffic shifted from the subject street to adjacent local streets. If more than 150 vehicles per day have been added to an adjacent street as a result of the traffic calming device, the City may modify the traffic calming solution. Maintenance of Landscaping Landscaping can be included in the installation of some traffic calming devices. However, neighborhood volunteers must sign up to maintain the landscaping. Otherwise, decorative paving will be used. In some areas of the City, landscaping is provided through the flower program. Evaluation If proposed by the City, 6 to 12 months after the traffic calming device has been installed, City staff will collect traffic data on surrounding streets to ensure the device did not shift traffic from the subject street to adjacent local access streets.

Packet Page 295 of 487 Removal of a Traffic Calming Device If the device is determined to be a safety issue, the device will be removed immediately by the City at no cost to the residents. If the device is determined to be ineffective, it may be removed by the City if it conflicts with the installation of future traffic control devices at no cost to the residents. However, if residents wish to remove a traffic calming device after it is installed following the steps of this program, residents shall be petitioned for 60% agreement, and residents shall pay for the removal.

Bertrand Hauss and the consultants for the project have done a good job of involving relevant City agencies (including Planning) during the process of developing the plan update. This has provided an ongoing process for checking consistency with the planning efforts lead by these other agencies. For example, Planning’s involvement has focused on assuring that the underlying assumptions and baseline data in the Transportation Plan reflect current land use and buildable lands data. To the best of my knowledge, this cross-checking and incorporation of input from other departments and plans has been done effectively. In direct terms, the Transportation Plan update provides updated data and analysis based on existing City plans (including current data on land use, buildable lands, parks, utilities, public facilities, and economic development priorities). The Transportation Plan also anticipates some of the work being done by the Planning Board and other City agencies on sustainability and transit- oriented and non-motorized priorities. This is an important aspect of the Transportation Plan update; it not only reflects current plans but also seeks to be consistent with emerging City plans and priorities. In technical terms, the Transportation Plan update appears to be solidly based on current transportation and concurrency methods and techniques. The Plan provides a thorough analysis of level-of-service and funding options, which should support clear decision-making during the planning period. MEMORANDUM Packet Page 329 of 487 1 1/ Response to Lora Petso’s letter: The response to each comment is provided in the same order it was provided in the letter: a. General concern about the policy changes in the Plan Overall, the updated Transportation Plan does not reflect a shift in the City’s transportation policy direction. Staff worked with the Transportation Committee to update the transportation policies, over the course of four committee meetings. In general, the Committee’s review and update of the policies sought to (1) tighten the language so that it is more specific, and also grammatically consistent; (2) remove redundancies; (3) reflect programs or initiatives that the City has implemented since the last Plan update in 2002; and (4) remove policies that are actually development standards, and are more appropriately placed in the City’s development regulations, as codified in Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) Title 9 (Streets and Sidewalks) and Title 18 (Public Works Requirements). For the fourth category listed above, it has been determined by staff that some of the standards reflected in the 2002 Plan are not covered in ECDC, and that it will not be feasible to amend the ECDC prior to adoption of the Comprehensive Plan amendments. In this case, the policies that cover these areas have been put back into the Transportation Plan as a stop- gap measure; but staff will move these standards into the ECDC as part of a comprehensive review and update of the code. In addition to the revisions listed above, the goals, objectives and policies were renumbered so that they could be more easily cited (e.g. under the 2002 Plan, numbering of goals, objectives, and policies restarted at “1” under each policy section, so there were numerous policies with the same policy number. For the 2009 update, policies were renumbered consecutively from section to section, so that each policy now has its own unique number). Responses to specific policy concerns that have been raised are addressed in section (f) below. b. General concern about procedures for adopting Comprehensive Plan Procedures set forth by staff for adopting the Transportation Plan are consistent with the requirements of the Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA). The Transportation Plan serves as the transportation element of the City Comprehensive Plan. The GMA allows cities to adopt amendments to their comprehensive plans once per year. Thus, the updated Transportation Plan will be adopted toward the end of this year, at the same time as any other 2009 amendments to the Comprehensive Plan. Staff is requesting that the Council approve (but not adopt) the Transportation Plan at this time, with intent to adopt as part of the overall annual Comprehensive Plan updates. This is mainly because work on the Transportation Plan, which began last year, is ahead of the other proposed amendments. Staff thought it would ease the process for the community and Council to review the Transportation Plan Packet Page 330 of 487 2 earlier (because it is ready for review, and includes a lot of information), and then be able to focus on the other proposed amendments later. However, if it is shown that anything in the other proposed Comprehensive Plan amendments would affect the recommendations in the Transportation Plan, there will be time to make any needed adjustments to the Transportation Plan prior to adoption. Regarding change to level of service (LOS) standards, one reduction is reflected in the 2009 update, which is a change in the standard for SR 524 from LOS D to LOS E. This is a result of feedback provided on July 2nd, 2009 by WSDOT after their review of the Public Review Draft of the Transportation Plan. The additional public hearing (scheduled for September 1) was requested by staff to allow sufficient public review of this change. Additional information about LOS standards is provided below. c. Concern about use of REET revenue to fund transportation projects The Transportation Plan does not recommend any changes in the use of Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) funds for transportation; but revenue projections do reflect REET as a source of funding as it is reflected in current City policy. Under current City policy, the first $750,000 of REET revenue collected each year is dedicated to parks, and additional revenue collected beyond that level goes to transportation. This has resulted in a wide variance in REET funds that have gone to transportation over the years, from a considerable amount in real estate ‘boom’ years, to little or no funding in other years. The revenue projections in the 2009 update reflect a conservative level of future REET funding for transportation, based upon typical levels that have been generated across the past 10 years or so. d. Concern about establishment of a business license fee to fund transportation projects The business license fee is not identified as a specific source of funding in the Final Transportation Plan. It is mentioned as one of the options that are ‘out there’ but it is not an option that the staff recommends pursuing at this time. In early drafts of the 2009 update, calculation was provided to show what the order of magnitude could be for this type of fee. However, the calculation was dropped from the final recommended Plan since it is not part of staff’s recommended revenue source. It is still mentioned in the Plan as a theoretical revenue source that is an option for the City to pursue in the future (along with other potential sources such as Local Improvement Districts, joint agency funding, and additional grant funding). e. Concern about Point Wells To clarify, because the Point Wells site is under Snohomish County jurisdiction, it is the County that has completed the initial analysis of the site, to support a programmatic EIS on the proposed land use change. As discussed during the 8/4/09 City Council meeting, the Point Wells analysis was not included in the City’s modeling because the proposed change in land use designation at that site has not been adopted by Snohomish County. Reflection of adopted land use plans in transportation analysis is consistent with GMA requirements. In addition: Packet Page 331 of 487 3 • The proposal before the County is a requested change in land use designation, not a site proposal. The purpose of the programmatic EIS prepared by the County for the Point Wells request was to help inform the County Council’s decision on whether to approve or reject the proposed land use designation; and as such, the transportation analysis assessed the high end of what could occur under the proposed change in designation (which does identify potentially a high level of transportation impacts in Edmonds, Woodway, and Shoreline). However, for the purpose of the City’s Transportation Plan, which is to identify projects that the City desires to fund over the next 16 years, it would be premature and highly speculative to try to ‘guess’ what will occur at this site beyond the adopted land use. • If the County approves a change in land use designation at the Point Wells site, whatever development is specifically proposed at the site is still subject to the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) before any development can occur. As part of this process, the County’s programmatic EIS indicates that a high level of coordination with affected jurisdictions would need to occur – this would include identifying impacts and appropriate mitigation for a specific site plan – with the developer responsible for mitigating its share of transportation impacts. The City’s current Transportation Plan would provide a solid basis to allow such coordination to occur, because it shows what the City expects transportation conditions in Edmonds to be without a change in land use at Point Wells. The Transportation Plan provides the City with a baseline that will allow comparison of additional impacts of development at this site, which in turn would clarify the share of mitigation within the City for which the developer would be responsible. However, we do recognize that the County’s Comprehensive Plan amendment process is occurring concurrent to the City’s, and it is possible that a change in land use designation could be adopted by the County by the end of this year. In this case, development at the Point Wells site cannot occur right away for the reasons stated above, so the City will have time to incorporate this change into its next Comprehensive Plan update, which is scheduled for 2011. This illustrates why comprehensive plans are continuously reviewed and potentially updated every year, even though they are long-range planning documents. f. Concern about specific policy changes (1) Cul-de-sac policy This policy was not dropped because anyone disagrees with it, but because it is a design standard that more appropriately belongs in the City’s development code. This standard distance came from the American Institute of Certified Planners (AICP), a nationwide institute providing standards for planning practice. Additionally many local jurisdictions are currently using 600’ as their standard maximum cul-de-sac length. However, upon review by staff from the Development Services Department, it has been determined that this standard is not covered in the ECDC, so it has been added back into the Transportation Plan as a stop- gap measure, as discussed in section (a) above. Packet Page 332 of 487 4 (2) Street right-of-way requirements for new development The comment references Policy 5.2 in the previous plan, but to clarify, the policy mentioned is actually Policy 5.1. This policy is also numbered 5.1 in the update. Right-of-way requirements for new development are specified in the Standards Details, which are codified in the ECDC. Right-of-way requirements for specific development proposals are not dictated by the Comprehensive Plan. Thus, the reference to the Transportation Element was removed for consistency with city procedures and to eliminate confusion. (3) Sidewalk location policies, and locations of proposed new sidewalks The previous Policy 1.2 (“Sidewalks should be located in areas where there is sufficient pedestrian traffic”) and Policy 1.3 (“Sidewalk design should be related to the function and the anticipated amount of pedestrian traffic”) were replaced with numerous policies (numbered 6.1 through 6.19) that are consistent with the spirit of the original policies, but provide much more specific direction. Sidewalk projects were identified and prioritized through an extensive process that was conducted by the citizens’ Walkway Committee. The Walkway Committee consisted of 12 members who live in across the different geographical areas of the city, who walk the city regularly. Table 4-1 in the Transportation Plan summarizes the prioritization criteria that were established (which are a refinement of the criteria presented in the 2002 Plan). The criteria place the highest emphasis on safety, connectivity, and level of pedestrian activity. Appendix D of the Transportation Plan summarizes the scores for each of the projects on the list. Proposed sidewalk projects were presented at Open House #2 (on 3/5/09), and again in the proposed priority order at Open House #3 (on 6/30/09). Some projects were added based upon feedback received on the Public Review Draft Transportation Plan, prior to Open House #3. All potential projects were evaluated very thoroughly by the Walkway Committee members. Regarding the priority of specific projects, N. Meadowdale Beach Road is one of the only remaining collectors in the City without sidewalks. This addition would create a pedestrian connection between 76th Avenue W (sidewalk currently under construction) and Olympic View Drive (sidewalk recently added during Phase 1 of OVD project). Pine Street is also included in the Walkway Plan and was ranked lower than the previous project because of lower vehicle speeds and stop-controlled intersections. Olympic Avenue has an existing walkway with rolled curb on the east side of this street. This stretch has high pedestrian volume with access to Yost Park and Edmonds Elementary School to go along with high vehicular activity. Additionally a roadway classification upgrade (from local to collector) is recommended for Olympic Avenue. (4) Sidewalk construction policies Similar to the cul-de-sac policy, the sidewalk construction policies were initially dropped from the Draft Transportation Plan because they are development requirements that more appropriately belong in the City’s development code. However, upon review by staff from the Development Services Department in June 2009, it was determined that these Packet Page 333 of 487 5 requirements are not covered in the ECDC, so they were added back into the Transportation Plan as a stop-gap measure, as discussed in section (a) above. These are included as Policy 7.1 through 7.4 in the updated Transportation Plan. (5) Goal to establish level of service standards The goal to “Establish appropriate levels of service for transportation facilities to adequately serve existing and future developments” was removed because the LOS standards are actually established under Policy 15.3, so it was considered redundant. (6) LOS Policies Transit policy: The 2002 policy indicated that a maximum distance of ¼ mile access to transit is “desirable”, but that ½ mile is “acceptable”. Since the City does not control where transit is provided, the purpose of transit policies in the Transportation Plan is mainly to communicate the City’s priorities to the agencies that provide transit service – for local bus service, this is Community Transit. It was determined by the Transportation Committee that presenting “desirable” verses “acceptable” distances to transit did not provide very strong direction regarding the City’s priorities on access to transit – so the policy was revised to state only that “A desirable maximum distance is ¼ mile.” (Policy 9.2 in the updated Plan). LOS standards for roads: The following information was provided at the August 4 City Council Meeting City Local Streets The purpose of the City’s concurrency standards is to maintain mobility on city streets, in line with current levels of development. Since the primary function of local streets is to provide access, and not serve a high level of mobility, the project team determined that it is not appropriate to define a concurrency standard for local streets. In addition to concurrency objectives being counter to the function of local streets, it is simply not practical for the City to monitor LOS on all local streets (which make up about 76% of the streets in the City) for the purpose of concurrency. For these two reasons, the LOS B standard that was defined for local streets in the 2002 Plan was dropped. However, even though a standard was defined in the 2002 Plan, no concurrency locations in that plan consisted of the intersection of two local streets –so this decision does not affect the analyses or conclusions of either version of the Plan. Please note, also, that the addition of the Traffic Calming Program in the 2009 update does address the potential for operational issues on local streets in a way that correctly lines up with their purpose, and thus is much more effective than concurrency for monitoring and addressing traffic operations on local streets. If local streets are experiencing traffic volumes that are too high or speeds that are too fast, this program lays out the steps that the City will take to address those issues. We feel that application of a Traffic Calming Program is superior to concurrency in addressing traffic issues on local streets. Packet Page 334 of 487 6 The concurrency standard of LOS C for collectors and LOS D for arterials is the same in the 2009 update as it was for the 2002 Plan. State Highways Any state highway not designated as Highway Statewide Significance (HSS) is automatically considered as a Highway Regional Significance (HRS). Local jurisdictions may choose to include them in their concurrency program. In Edmonds, SR 524 and SR 99 north of SR 104 are HRS. In the 2002 Plan, SR 524 was held to the City’s arterial standard of LOS D – and no standard was applied to SR 99. In 2005, PSRC developed LOS standards for HRS facilities, in collaboration with local jurisdictions within the region. As they were emerging, the HRS standards were often treated as suggestions, with many local jurisdictions maintaining their locally adopted standards on these facilities. However, in its review of the June 2009 draft, WSDOT directed the City that the PSRC standards must be applied to HRS facilities. Thus, the 2009 update applies the PSRC standard of LOS E to these facilities. (7) TIP policy section dropped The TIP section was dropped from the policies because the requirements are dictated by state law, and the policy section was just a repeat of those requirements. In addition, the 2010-2015 TIP is included in the Implementation section of Chapter 6. However, to clarify how the annual TIP process ties to the overall Transportation Plan, this information, which was removed from the policies, will be added into the Implementation Section of Chapter 6. (8) Disagreement with project priorities Walkway project priorities – please see response (f.3) above. Roadway project priorities – Table 3-17 summarizes the prioritization criteria that were developed for roadway projects. The criteria place the strongest weight on safety and compliance with concurrency, with additional weight given for projects with high grant eligibility, high magnitude of improvement (e.g. improve a greater number of traffic movements), and/or provide multimodal improvements. With regard to the extension of 228th Street SW in Ballinger, it was added in the updated Plan after being ranked as the #1 project in the SR 99 Study conducted by the City in 2006. This project received the highest safety score and also ranks high because of grant eligibility with the regional magnitude of the project. It would help reduce the intersection delay to many intersections east of SR 99 along both SR 104 and 220th Street SW. It also adds pedestrian connection and provides a safe direct access for Edmonds residents to the Mountlake Terrace Transit Center from SR 99. (9) Omission of inter-jurisdictional efforts on SR 99 and Point Wells development This section specifies the inter-jurisdictional coordination needed by the City to implement the projects and recommendations presented in the Transportation Plan. For the reasons stated earlier, it is premature to incorporate potential future development at Point Wells into transportation recommendations or into the implementation plan. Packet Page 335 of 487 7 10) Road resurfacing projects The resurfacing of road projects is explained in more detail on pages 3-52 and 3-53. The selection of projects depends on the review of pavement survey conducted every 2 years as part of the WSDOT Pavement Condition Survey. All principal arterials, minor arterials, and collectors are assigned a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) from 0 to 100 based on the quality of the pavement. Additionally, Public Works will respond each time a citizen concern is received regarding pavement defects on a local street. The complaint will be assessed and prioritized with regard to public safety. Those issues that are capable of resolve using city forces are dealt with. Those that are too large are added to future overlay considerations. The utility projects are also taken into account, whether a water, sewer, or storm project is programmed in the near future. The final selection of projects is based on the proximity of those different projects. The budget shortfall has limited the number of overlay projects over the last couple of years. During the next overlay program, all roadway segments will be considered based on pavement condition and proximity to the utility projects. 11) Future planned development included in model The summary in Table 1-1 originally included projected development in the unincorporated Esperance area that is surrounded by the incorporated City. The table has been corrected so that it only includes projected development (residential and non-residential) within the city limits, which does match up to the land use element of the Comprehensive Plan. 2/ Response to Roger Hertrich’s comments: a. Questions the use of concurrency to classify streets, anticipating streets with a higher level of service classification would receive the most money The GMA requires that cities and counties each adopt a concurrency management system, but leaves it to the local jurisdictions to determine what their concurrency requirements will be. In the City’s adopted program, concurrency is not used to classify streets, but the street functional classification does determine its concurrency requirements (defined in Policy 15.3 in the updated Plan). Under the city’s concurrency system, higher classified streets actually have a lower standard than lower classified streets. However, it is often true that improvements to higher classified streets are more costly than improvements to lower classified streets. This is in part why the concurrency requirements are often lower on higher classified streets. The other part of the reason is that drivers tend to accept higher levels of congestion on higher classified streets. b. Questions the high level improvement that is projected with a traffic signal installed at various locations For the stop-controlled intersection of 196th and 88th, the existing LOS is: - northbound: LOS C - southbound: LOS F LOS F is projected in both directions by 2015. Packet Page 336 of 487 8 In developing transportation improvements to address identified deficiencies, it is the goal to identify the least expensive level of improvement needed to address the problem, while still meeting overall mobility objectives. Since installation of a traffic signal is “all or nothing” (as compared to a widening, which is typically proposed only in the direction of traffic movements that are experiencing problems), it can end up adding more capacity than is needed to meet concurrency, which is the expected case at 196th and 88th, and also at Caspers and 9th. In each of these cases, no lower level of project improvement that would allow all traffic movements (such as adding lanes in certain directions) was identified that would solve the identified concurrency deficiency. However, at 196th and 88th, an alternate project that allows right-turn only out of 88th has been identified in the Plan as another option that would allow the intersection to meet concurrency requirements. While this solution does restrict the mobility of some movements by prohibiting northbound and southbound left turns / through movements, it is expected to address the LOS deficiency with less additional capacity. c. Concerns about proposed future signal at Main and 9th The intersections of both Main and Walnut with 9th Avenue are operating at LOS E under existing conditions, and are projected to operate at LOS F by 2015. Similar to the discussion above, it is not the goal of concurrency to improve to anything higher than LOS D, but installation of a traffic signal would add capacity to both intersections beyond that required to meet concurrency. The project team did evaluate a “non-traffic signal solution” at the intersections of 9th with Main and Walnut. Under this solution, parking would be removed along the entire length of 9th Avenue between the northbound approach of Walnut and the southbound approach of Main, and so that this section of 9th would be 4 lanes wide. This would result in two lanes of traffic at the northbound and southbound stop-controlled approaches of both intersections. While it not common to see two lanes at stop-controlled approaches, it is not unheard of. Because it would likely take drivers a little time to adjust to this configuration, staff initially opted for the more conventional traffic signal solution. However, this solution will be added to the Plan as an alternate improvement to address deficiencies at these two locations. d. Recommend using safety as the basis for prioritizing projects Safety is a strong consideration in prioritizing the City’s projects, as is specified in Table 3-17. In fact, three of the top five projects listed in Table 3-18 are identified in the Plan primarily as safety projects. However, safety is not the only consideration. The GMA requires that jurisdictions identify and fund projects that are needed to maintain their adopted concurrency programs (projects must be funded, or have funding identified, within 6 years of the year that they are triggered). In many cases, concurrency projects would also improve safety conditions at the locations where they are implemented. Packet Page 337 of 487 9 e. Question about the traffic concerns / congestion issues to / from Ferry Terminal and Sound Transit Station (not referenced in Plan) The Edmonds Crossing Multimodal Facility is mentioned in Chapter 5 of the Plan and the policy section. This project is still planned as a long-range project (in Washington State Ferry plan) and addresses many safety improvements, such as a better separation between all the different modes of transportation. Additionally, WSF recently chose the Kingston to Edmonds route to participate in the reservation pilot program. The main purpose of this program is to reduce ferry queuing with a reservation system. The pre-design study began in July and an implementation date could be as early as 2011. If implemented, congestion along SR-104 during ferry queuing peak hours would be significantly reduced. Traffic generated by the existing ferry terminal was taken into account in the modeling and LOS analysis that was completed for the Plan. 3/ Response to Al Rutledge’s comments: a) Concerns about SR 99 @ 220th St. SW not being mentioned in plan The intersection of SR 99 and 220th is addressed in the plan, and included in the 2016-2025 Transportation Improvement Plan. The proposed improvements consist of widening the westbound right turn lane of 220th and the southbound left turn lane of SR 99. Since this intersection is along a Highway of Regional Significance (HRS), the intersection was analyzed against a concurrency standard of LOS E and therefore not meeting those by 2025 with LOS F. b) Question about Edmonds Way @ 238th St. SW (during TIP Public Hearing) This intersection is also identified in the plan, and included in the 2016-2025 Transportation Improvement Plan. The existing LOS is F (see Figure 3-10). Since the intersection is along a Highway of Statewide Significance, (HSS), the intersection isn’t subject to concurrency and thus no City standard is defined. The improvement consists of installing a traffic signal (along with meeting one of the traffic signal warrant per analysis and WSDOT approval) – or the City would need to coordinate with WSDOT to determine an alternative solution to the operational issues that have been identified. 4/ Response to Council President Wilson’s comment: - Question about providing additional traffic signal warrant studies at 196th @ 88th Staff has evaluated the accidents that have occurred at this location from 2008 (end previous study) to the present. The Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) states that a traffic signal can be warranted (Warrant 7) at an intersection if: “5 or more reported crashes, of types susceptible to correction by a traffic control signal, have occurred within a 12- month period”. During that time period, only 4 accidents have been recorded at or near the Packet Page 338 of 487 10 intersection and none are characterized as correctable by the installation of a traffic signal. Therefore, the intersection currently doesn’t warrant a traffic signal based on the Crash Experience Warrant. Since the existing LOS is F (below PSRC Standards as along SR 524), the City will continue to monitor the intersection to explore if any other warrants may be met (such as volume warrant). Additionally, an alternative was identified in the Plan by limiting northbound and southbound movements to right turn only – analysis indicates that this would address the LOS problem without installation of a signal. If you have any additional questions prior to the upcoming Transportation Plan Public Hearing (09/01/09), please address them to the City Engineer, Mr. Rob English at: english@ci.edmonds.wa.us.

Continued Public Hearing for Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program Edmonds City Council Meeting Date:09/01/2009 Submitted By:Conni Curtis Submitted For:Robert English Time:15 Minutes Department:Engineering Type:Action Review Committee: Committee Action: Information Subject Title Continued public hearing for the Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program (2010-2015) and proposed resolution. Recommendation from Mayor and Staff Council approve the Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program (2010-2015) and adopt the proposed resolution. Previous Council Action On August 4, 2009, Council held a public hearing on the Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program (2010-2015). Narrative On August 4, 2009, Council held a public hearing on the Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The Comprehensive Transportation Plan was used to develop the Six-Year TIP. Since the Comprehensive Transportation Plan public hearing was continued to the September 1st Council meeting, it was determined that a second public hearing on the 2010-2015 TIP would be held during the same meeting. Narrative from August 4th Council Meeting: The Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a transportation planning document that identifies funded, partially funded, and unfunded projects that are planned or needed over the next six calendar years. The TIP also identifies the expenditures and secured or reasonably expected revenues for each of the projects included in the TIP. RCW 35.77.010 and 36.81.121 require that each city update and adopt their TIP prior to adoption of the budget. A copy of the adopted TIP will be submitted to the Puget Sound Regional Council and Washington State Department of Transportation. The Comprehensive Transportation Plan update prepared during 2008-09 was used to develop the proposed 2010-2015 TIP. The TIP document includes a current project list with updated project costs and funding from the Plan. Due to a shortfall in transportation funding, the TIP includes new revenue from the Transportation Packet Page 340 of 487 Benefit District (TBD) beginning in year 2013. The future TBD revenue is based on a $40 increase to the current $20 vehicle license fee authorized by the TBD earlier this year. Any increase above the current $20 vehicle license fee would require voter approval. Staff recommends the TBD begin a comprehensive investigation in 2010 to determine whether the TBD revenue should be increased and a timeline for implementation, if an increase is pursued. A number of unsecured State and Federal transportation grants have been programmed in the TIP. Most transportation grants are competitive, and the success of how many grants are secured in the future will depend on other transportation needs and funding requests in the region. Staff recommends the Council approve the Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program and adopt the Resolution.

Discussion Regarding new Yacht Club Development Edmonds City Council Meeting Date:09/01/2009 Submitted By:Rob Chave Submitted For:DJ Wilson Time:15 Minutes Department:Planning Type:Action Review Committee: Committee Action: Information Subject Title Discussion regarding new Yacht Club development. Recommendation from Mayor and Staff N/A Previous Council Action None. Narrative Dick Potter will be presenting a request from the Yacht Club for Council to consider. The request is for the Council to refer a proposal from the Yacht Club to amend the CW zone and the Shoreline Master Program (part of the Comprehensive Plan) to the Planning Board for consideration this year. Normally, an application for a comprehensive plan amendment is considered in the year following a formal application; due to timing of its project, the Yacht Club is requesting the city to consider its request during this year (2009) rather than waiting until 2010.

Creation of a New Mixed Use Zoning Classification for Firdale Village Edmonds City Council Meeting Date:09/01/2009 Submitted By:Rob Chave Time:30 Minutes Department:Planning Type:Action Review Committee: Committee Action: Information Subject Title Public hearing on the Planning Board recommendation to approve the creation of a new mixed use zoning classification for Firdale Village to implement the Comprehensive Plan. (File No. AMD-2008-10 / Applicant: Shapiro Architects) Recommendation from Mayor and Staff (Final action on the proposal is not being requested at this time: there will be another public hearing addressing refinements to the accompanying design guidelines for the new zone.) Previous Council Action A public hearing was held by the City Council on July 21, 2009. The City Council adopted updated Comprehensive Plan guidance for the Firdale Village neighborhood center in 2006. Narrative This is a follow-up public hearing on a proposal by A. D. Shapiro Architects, representing the owners of the Firdale commercial center, to create a new mixed use zoning classification to implement the direction of the Comprehensive Plan for the Firdale Village neighborhood center. The proponents have developed a zoning classification and design guidelines proposal that could be applied to the Firdale Neighborhood Commercial area to implement the Comprehensive Plan. The City approved a comprehensive plan amendment providing a new direction for the Firdale Neighborhood Commercial area, but has not yet followed up with implementing zoning changes. If approved, the proponents would have to follow up by making an application for a specific rezone proposal to actually change the zoning of the property in order to set the stage for a future project. The proposal adds a new zoning classification to Chapter 16. As a proposed code amendment, this is a legislative proposal which is at the discretion of the Council to approve, modify, or deny. The Planning Board recommended that the Council approve the proposed code change. The proposal has been modified, in response to comments at the July 21st public hearing, and proposed changes to the zoning portion of the code are summarized in Exhibit 1. Note that an additional hearing will be scheduled to consider further modifications to the design guidelines accompanying the proposal, again to respond to comments and suggestions. Please refer to the material from July 21, 2009, for the full background on this proposal.

Shapiro Architects PS Firdale Village Mixed Use Zoning Criteria August 26, 2009 16.100.000 Introduction 16.100.010 Purposes 16.100.020 Sub-Districts 16.100.030 Uses 16.100.040 Site Development Standards ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 16.100.000 Introduction General Intent and Project Vision The design vision for Firdale Village is to create a vibrant neighborhood village form of development that strikes a balance between commercial, retail and residential uses and contributes to the vitality of the neighborhood and area. The project is intended to support a variety of commercial and retail uses along with multi-family residential in an environment that is accessible to the pedestrian, visitor, tenant, motorist and public transit user. 16.100.010 Purposes The Firdale Village Mixed-Use zone has the following specific purposes in addition to the general purposes for business and commercial zones in Chapter 16.40 ECDC. A. To reserve and regulate areas for a ‘neighborhood center’ type of mixed-use development that includes a mix of commercial and multi- residential housing types, and a range of greater densities than are available in the single family residential zone; B. To promote a mix of residential, commercial and other uses in a manner that is consistent with the City’s comprehensive plan, (ie: 25% of heated floor area shall be “commercial” space). C. To provide for those additional uses which complement and are compatible with multiple residential uses. Packet Page 474 of 487 2 Firdale Village Site – Zoning Criteria A.D. Shapiro Architects PS D. The Codes contained within this Chapter are to be used in conjunction with the Firdale Village Design Standards in Chapter 22.100.000 ECDC. 16.100.020 Sub-Districts See Figure B for location of Districts on the site. A. District 1 – Commercial: The primarily commercial uses will be located in this district, which is located closer to Firdale Avenue and oriented to the street. The flexibility for each is written into the table, but not called out in the “mini-description”. B. District 2 – Commercial/Multi-Family Residential: Multi-family residential uses will be located more towards sides and rear of the site, behind the commercial uses, with possible commercial functions on the ground level. 16.100.030 Uses A.

Packet Page 481 of 487 Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes July 21, 2009 Page 13 if challenges destroyed a quorum of the Council, Councilmembers were returned to the quorum; challenges could not be used to prevent the Council from making a decision. It was the consensus of the Council to make Mr. Snyder’s memorandum regarding Appearance of Fairness Doctrine and Prejudgmental Bias to Pending Rezone Application available to the public. Councilmember Wambolt asked the difference between a site specific rezone and a spot rezone. Mr. Snyder advised a rezone was an area-wide rezone. An example of an area-wide rezone was the neighborhood near Stevens Hospital to change the zoning designation of dozens of parcels. He explained a spot rezone referred to designating one piece of property differently than the surrounding zone. A site specific rezone is a request to make a change to a specific property. The Comprehensive Plan designations are broad and several zoning categories may fit within a Comprehensive Plan designation. Mayor Haakenson asked whether he could say whatever he wanted. Mr. Snyder answered yes but depending on what he said, he may need to step down as the chair of the meeting. Councilmember Plunkett asked if Mayor Haakenson could break a tie. Mr. Snyder responded the Mayor was unable to vote on any matter that required the passage of an ordinance. Councilmember Plunkett asked whether a Councilmember could send Mr. Snyder potential phrases they were contemplating in a campaign to ensure they were appropriate. Mr. Snyder answered no because he was paid by the City. 6.

AMD-2008-10 / APPLICANT: SHAPIRO ARCHITECTS) Planning Manager Rob Chave explained this was an application by Shapiro Architects representing the owner of the Firdale Village commercial property. They are seeking a new zoning classification in the Development Code that would implement the Comprehensive Plan and apply to the Firdale commercial center that is identified in the Comprehensive Plan. He clarified this was a legislative proposal for Council consideration. The applicant received unanimous favorable support from the Planning Board. Tony Shapiro, Shapiro Architects, commented this was an example of a spot zone because it was specific to the Firdale Village site although the zoning language was general and would not be applied until the zone were approved and created. Another approval process would be required to apply the zone to this site. Mr. Shapiro displayed an aerial photograph identifying the approximate property lines of the site, explaining development on the property was outdated, originally developed in the 1960s. He identified the two existing access points, easements across the site to adjacent properties, and significant grade change from the southwest to the northeast corner of the site. The goals of the property owner are to rezone the property in the most general and flexible manner while establishing constraints on development that would provide the City and neighbors assurance that new development would comply with Comprehensive Plan goals and have attributes that were beneficial to an urban center. He displayed a wider view aerial photograph, identifying structures and roadways in the surrounding area. He explained Firdale Village was located within a residential area with one large apartment complex nearby and surrounded by single family housing. Mr. Shapiro displayed a Comprehensive Plan map that identified the designation for the Firdale Village site and the surrounding area. The site is currently zoned BN, an outdated zone that staff has expressed interest in phasing out. The property owners decided to rewrite the zoning ordinance themselves because the City did not have the budget or time to create an appropriate zone. They worked closely with planning staff in developing the zone language, met twice with neighbors and met several times with the Planning Board, culminating in the Planning Board’s unanimous support on April 22, 2009. Packet Page 482 of 487 Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes July 21, 2009 Page 14 Mr. Shapiro displayed and reviewed the existing language for the BN zone including primary and secondary allowed uses. He pointed out secondary uses in the BN zone limit the property to one dwelling unit per lot. The site has seven lots and creating a mixed use with seven units is not economically feasible. He reviewed the Comprehensive Plan language for Firdale Village that refers to an attractive mix of uses that create a “neighborhood village” pedestrian-oriented environment, commercial spaces oriented toward the street in order to maximize visibility, parking behind or underneath structures, four stories in height, design that breaks up the mass and bulk of buildings and a mix of uses of not less than one quarter commercial space. He advised this proposal was more complex than a Master Plan that established exact development. The property owner plans to offer the property to a developer who would implement the zoning language. The proposed language was intended to be flexible enough to accommodate an assisted/extended care facility on the upper floors with commercial on the lower floors or a general mixed use project. The intent was for the zoning language to be as flexible as possible while giving assurance that it would be a positive development. He envisioned a Neighborhood Village Design with mixed use building types, ground floor retail with commercial office or residential above, retail uses closer to the primary street, parking below or behind the retail building. Their proposed zoning criteria establish a commercial zone against Firdale Avenue with residential on the back side of the property. In addition to the significant grade change from the northeast to the southwest corners of the site, there are significant stands of fir trees on the north property line. He referred to a proposed 20-foot setback along the north property line to retain the trees. He displayed a sketch of the site, identifying the trees inside and outside the 20-foot setback and the existing rockery on the north property line. He advised a stormwater line and sanitary sewer line that run through the site would need to be relocated. The proposed zoning criteria mandates below grade parking to achieve a high density build-out. He anticipated a maximum of 160 units on the site and 60,000 square feet of commercial space. Mr. Shapiro displayed sketches illustrating trees as buffer between the project and residential, existing houses on adjacent property, trees outside the setback subject to removal, and existing Firdale Village building proposed to be removed. He displayed a sketch illustrating the location of the proposed zone districts, a commercial lower height (39 feet) zone in District 1 and residential above commercial and higher heights in District 2. He identified an area between the districts that could be either District 1 or District 2 to provide flexibility. He displayed drawings illustrating the possible location of buildings via a massing study, cautioning they were for discussion purposes only. He commented on access points to the site, advising no traffic analysis had been conducted at this time. In response to concern by the Planning Board regarding the proximity of the commercial building on the west property line to the existing residence with a 15-foot setback, the height of the building was restricted to 2 stories at the rear toward the residence and stepping up to 4 stories at the front. He displayed several sketches from the massing study illustrating the possible location and height of buildings. He briefly commented on design standards for the site that address site design and planning, architectural design, pedestrian orientation, outdoor spaces and amenities, vehicular access and parking, site landscaping and screening elements, signage, site lighting, safety issues and sustainable design. He remarked the criteria requires 20% open space which he acknowledged may be difficult to achieve. Council President Wilson asked if traffic signals would be required. Mr. Shapiro stated they may be appropriate at the intersection to the south where Firdale Avenue becomes 205th. Council President Wilson inquired about the feasibility of open space if there were three access points to the site. Mr. Shapiro commented service access would likely be at the western entrance and the mid-access point may be only for emergency access. Council President Wilson expressed concern there many not be enough space on the site to incorporate all the good things that are proposed. He referred to the definitions that indicate “will” and “shall” were directives and “should” were nice-to-have items, pointing out there were few “shall” or “will” in the document compared to “should” and “maybe” in the language. He understood the owner’s interest in maximum flexibility but as the process moved forward he was interested in changing many of the “should” to “will” or “shall.” Mr. Shapiro Packet Page 483 of 487 Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes July 21, 2009 Page 15 noted there were many “shall” in the document including the 20% open space. Council President Wilson commended the language that required the development to achieve at least a four star level of the Build Green Washington program or LEED gold standard certification. Mr. Shapiro indicated they were open to discussion of any components the Council wanted changed from “should” to “shall.” Council President Wilson referred to the ultimate height limit in the residential district, 4 stories, 48 feet plus a modulated roof of 4 feet, plus 5 feet for mechanical equipment and an additional 10 feet on top of the maximum. Mr. Shapiro clarified 52 feet was the maximum building height. The additional 10 feet would be for an elevator shaft. He suggested the language be changed to 10 feet above the base roof line. Councilmember Orvis asked why the step-back adjacent to the residence on the west was not proposed adjacent to the remainder of the single family residential development. Mr. Shapiro responded a 20-foot setback was proposed in the other areas; an additional step-back would make the building uneconomical. He pointed out the significant number of fir trees that would be retained along the north property line. Councilmember Bernheim referred to the gold LEED standard certification and other green building incentives, concluding the buildings would be constructed in a more sustainable manner. Mr. Shapiro agreed. Councilmember Bernheim commented many of the massing diagrams illustrate a squarish building; he asked if they would be interested in maximum floor area standards with a flexible height standard in lieu of strict height limits and open space requirements. Mr. Shapiro responded the Comprehensive Plan restricts heights to 4 stories. Councilmember Bernheim inquired about the impact of additional traffic from development. Mr. Shapiro advised an in-depth traffic study had not been done because it would be difficult to assess the traffic impacts at this point in the process. That would be addressed at the time a development proposal was made. Councilmember Bernheim concluded there would be a huge impact on the roadway. Councilmember Bernheim expressed support for lower parking standards and inquired what parking standards were proposed. Mr. Shapiro answered retail was typically 5 stalls per 1000 square feet of retail; they proposed 1 space per 400 square feet of retail. Their residential parking ratio was 1.5 spaces per unit. They also envisioned shared parking due to mixed use. Planning Manager Rob Chave explained if the zone were approved, the applicant would need to apply for a rezone. A traffic study, SEPA, etc. would occur at that point. He commented a floor area ratio approach was appropriate for a flat site in close proximity to single family development; this proposal uses the buffer to soften the impact on the surrounding residential and a floor area type approach such as step-backs in areas where the tree buffer did not exist. Mayor Haakenson opened the public participation portion of the public hearing, noting the Council received an email from Roger Mithen, Edmonds, with several concerns regarding the project. Lora Petso, Edmonds, requested the Council take advantage of Mr. Shapiro’s offer to do more work on the proposal and urged the Council not to approve the zone tonight. The proposal did not comply with the Comprehensive Plan which requires a minimum of ¼ commercial space; there was no requirement in the zoning ordinance to implement that Comprehensive Plan goal. Without that requirement, it would be a multi family residential zone with a 62-foot height limit rather than a mixed use development. She urged the Council not to allow increased density until the failed intersection at 244th & Highway 99 was addressed. She recalled that intersection was declared failed at least eight years ago. She recommended both districts be mixed use; under the current proposal, District 2 has possible commercial on the ground floor. She pointed out 15 feet was not enough setback between commercial and residential development for a 62-foot building. Rather than approve an illegal spot zone, she urged the Council to update the Neighborhood Business Zone so that it could be applied Packet Page 484 of 487 Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes July 21, 2009 Page 16 to similar neighborhood business zones. She was opposed to reducing the parking ratios, advising many residents would walk to the site in good weather but would drive in poor weather. David Page, Edmonds, commented this project and the levy were defining moments for Edmonds. He favored a compromise that would allow this project to proceed. He remarked the passage of the levy would illustrate that Edmonds was moving toward a more cosmopolitan type of town rather than a village. He pointed out the Planning Board, comprised of professionals, was in favor of this project. Al Rutledge, Edmonds, expressed concern the proposal did not indicate the total cost of the project. He recognized the City recently increased their permit fees which would be applicable to this project. Tamara Ancona, Shoreline, whose residence overlooks the site, stated the parking requirements for an assisted living facility would be significantly less than typical residential because most of the residents did not drive. David Thorpe, Edmonds, recalled a presentation in the past regarding a proposed project at 220th & Hwy. 99 that had not materialized. He expressed concern that having Mr. Shapiro represent the property owner was like the fox guarding the hen house. He noted this highlighted the inability to collect revenue; there should be staff and citizens involved in these proposals. He commented on limited public involvement in this process. He pointed out there were several neighborhood centers that could be redeveloped, recalling staff meetings in the past to discuss development at 5 Corners. He was opposed to a site specific rezone when there was zoning and Comprehensive Plan designations in place. With regard to Mr. Shapiro’s interest in a flexible zoning classification that allowed the developer more flexibility; he urged the City to ensure its interests were considered. He acknowledged development needed to occur but favored having more City involvement. Hearing no further public comment, Mayor Haakenson closed public participation portion of the public hearing. Councilmember Plunkett referred to Ms. Petso’s reference to the failure of the 244th & Hwy. 99 intersection. Transportation Engineer Bertrand Hauss answered it was a highway of statewide significance and the intersection was under Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) jurisdiction and did not have to meet the City’s level of service standards. The modeling performed for the 2009 Comprehensive Transportation Plan identified the intersection as a LOS D which is not failed. Councilmember Wambolt pointed out the project at 220th & Hwy. 99 had been put on hold due to the economy. He referred to Mr. Thorpe’s comment about meetings held regarding development of 5 Corners, explaining the City’s former Economic Development Director Jennifer Gerand held similar discussions for Firdale Village. He referred to Ms. Petso’s reference to 62 foot building heights, clarifying the buildings are a maximum of 52 feet with the ability to have a 10 foot elevator shaft. Councilmember Wambolt asked if this was an illegal spot rezone. City Attorney Scott Snyder answered a spot zone was not in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan designation or those in the surrounding area. This proposal was similar to the zone proposed on Sunset Avenue, a general application zone proposed for a specific area. When reviewing the proposal he had two areas of concern including the definition of height which although used in the Comprehensive Plan needed to be integrated into the zoning code. His other concern was a decision of the Washington Court of Appeals Division 1, Property Rights Alliance v. Ron Sims, that struck down the King County Native Growth Protection Areas because they were without a proper foundation and violated RCW 82.02.020 as an illegal development fee. If the Council wanted to proceed, he suggested that portion of the requirement be addressed via a development agreement that binds the developer to preserving the trees. With regard to spot zoning, Mr. Chave explained this site was designated as a Neighborhood Center. The reason there was a proposal from only one applicant was because the entire site was under one ownership. He envisioned development zones would be developed for other neighborhood centers in the City. In those cases it would likely be done by staff because there were multiple properties and property owners. Packet Page 485 of 487 Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes July 21, 2009 Page 17 Council President Wilson referred to Ms. Petso’s comment about ¼ commercial. Mr. Chave answered that was a good catch; he recalled Mr. Shapiro had agreed to include that but it was inadvertenly overlooked. With regard to parking, Mr. Chave explained the parking standards downtown were changed to a flat rate one space per 500 square feet, rather than a per use standard. That ratio was appropriate for downtown due to the amount of on-street parking. Development at Firdale Village may require a slightly higher standard although there was an opportunity for shared parking due to the mixed use. He explained an agreement would need to be reached regarding what parking was shared and what was reserved. With regard to whether there should be mixed use in both districts, Mr. Chave explained the concept was a mixed use zone with different parts. The applicant did not feel it was appropriate to have commercial inside the site particularly against the residential. Council President Wilson inquired if a 15 foot setback was sufficient between the existing residential and this project. Mr. Chave referred to the proposed step-back on the west where there was a 15-foot setback and no trees which would result in essentially a 2-story, 25-foot height adjacent to the residence; elsewhere on the site there was a 20-foot setback with trees to provide a buffer. Mr. Shapiro described the 30-foot setback at the street before 3 stories can begin and two 25-foot zones, essentially 80 feet from the street edge before buildings could be 4 stories. Mr. Shapiro pointed out the 20% open space requirement excluded the setbacks. He anticipated commercial space would face all plaza areas. Council President Wilson asked whether Mr. Shapiro would agree to a requirement for commercial on the first floor throughout the entire development. Mr. Shapiro was reluctant to impose criteria, noting the northeast corner of the site may be appropriate for four stories of housing. He assured a developer would not propose a development with housing facing a public area. He reiterated the requirement for 20% of the buildable site to be open space. He noted the open space was required to be an 8-foot minimum width. Council President Wilson pointed out the 8-foot width was a “should” not a “shall.” He was in favor of tightening that requirement. Council President Wilson referred to Mr. Shapiro’s reference to 60,000 square feet of commercial space. Mr. Shapiro answered the exact amount was unknown but they were required to have 25% of the built area in commercial space. Council President Wilson pointed out 60,000 square feet could amount to only 3-4 commercial spaces. He referred to permitted uses and the exclusion of buildings over 20,000 other than drugstores, noting as an example Starbucks stores were 1,500 square feet. Mr. Shapiro envisioned multiple different stores the size of Starbucks that would achieve the 25% minimum commercial space. . COUNCIL PRESIDENT WILSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETERSON, TO EXTEND THE MEETING FOR ONE HOUR. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Council President Wilson suggested the language be clear that the Council preferred small, neighborhood stores versus three 20,000 square foot stores. He offered to identify where “should” in the language should be changed to “shall.” Councilmember Bernheim inquired whether a straight height limit could be imposed rather than allowing the roof to extend 5 feet above the stated high limit. Mr. Shapiro commented a strict height limited architectural options and would result in more mundane and less attractive buildings. Councilmember Bernheim asked what Mr. Shapiro was asking from the Council. Mr. Shapiro responded he was asking the Council to approve the zone with any modifications. Councilmember Bernheim asked the next step once the zone was approved. Mr. Shapiro answered they would return to the Planning Board to ask that the zone be applied to the Firdale Village site. Mr. Snyder explained this was the legislative act of creating the zone. A site specific rezone would follow. Councilmember Orvis asked whether the current BN zone allowed residential. Mr. Chave answered it allowed only one dwelling unit per lot. Packet Page 486 of 487 Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes July 21, 2009 Page 18 Council President Wilson suggested scheduling further discussion on the August 17 or August 25 agenda. Mr. Chave suggested staff prepare an ordinance that clarified the issues the Council identified and options for other issues. Mr. Snyder cautioned the public hearing would need to be re-advertised if there were any substantive changes; therefore September 1 may be a more appropriate date. Council President Wilson agreed a second public hearing on September 1 would be appropriate. Mr. Snyder advised he would like an opportunity to work with the applicant on a mechanism to require and make the rear setback to protect the trees enforceable. Mayor Haakenson declared a brief recess. 7. PRESENTATION ON THE 2009 COMPREHENSIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN Transportation Engineer Bertrand Hauss reviewed major milestones to date: • Completion of the Draft Transportation Plan in June which was reviewed by the Planning Board, agencies and community members • Community involvement that included three open houses and meetings with the Transportation, Walkway, Bicycle, and Parking Committees • Presentation to the Planning Board including a public hearing on June 10 and a recommendation from the Planning Board to forward the Plan to the City Council. The purpose of the Transportation Plan was to guide development of multimodal transportation, identify transportation infrastructure/services needed to support the City’s adopted land use plan and transportation goals and policies. Elements of the Transportation Plan include Transportation Goals, Objectives and Policies; Street System; Non-Motorized System; Transit and Transportation Demand Management; and Implementation and Finance Plan. He explained the Plan reflects the existing (2008) and projected (2025) population and employment and growth: Existing 2025 Project Growth Population ~40,000 44,880 >12% Employment ~10,400 12,190 >17% He noted the new travel demand forecasting model developed by the consultant reflects build-out of the City’s adopted 2025 land use plan and provides a basis for updated impact fees. He described major differences from the 2003 Transportation Plan: • Future planning year 2025 instead of 2022 • Stronger emphasis on non-motorized transportation projects (25% of the plan cost rather than 5% in the past) • Edmonds Crossing Multimodal Project not included in City financial plan (no planned City expenditures), still planned as a long range project • Updated traffic impact fee ($1,071/trip, increased from $764/trip • Adds Traffic Calming Program and ADA curb Ramp Transition Plan Mr. Hauss explained the Street System element identifies capital projects that include concurrency projects, safety projects and highways of statewide significance. With regard to concurrency, he explained state law requires the transportation system be adequate to support planned land use as measured by adopted level of service standards (LOS D). There are four existing concurrency deficiencies (LOS E or F). The modeling indicates there will be 4 additional locations by 2015 and 3 additional locations by 2025. He explained safety projects are identified by previous studies or accident data. Highways of statewide significance are intersections on the local state highway system that are under WSDOT jurisdiction and are not subject to the City’s concurrency standards. The Street System element also describes the Traffic Calming Program and maintenance and preservation projects. Packet Page 487 of 487
