3. EDMONDS BUSINESS STORY - RENATA CHURCHILL, ENGEL'S PUB.
Renata Churchill explained her husband and she acquired Engel’s Pub as a working tavern in 2003,
upgrading it into a full service bar two years later. They offer a variety of spirits and 17 tap handles,
catering, delicious food and music. In March they celebrated 75 years and a commemorative T-shirt is
available at the Pub. In April they received the Best Blues Club Award from the Washington Blues
Society.
She remarked it was an honor to do business in Edmonds where they attracted local residents and
business people as well as people from outside the area. She thanked the Chamber of Commerce for
offering networking via the internet, commenting visitors to the Pub also enjoy the waterfront, family
friendly events, shopping, and other amenities Edmonds offers. She encouraged residents to shop locally,
pointing out nearly everything they needed or used was available downtown. She encouraged the City to
continue family-friendly events such as the recent car show which draws visitors to the community as
well as drawing the next generation. She looked forward to new events such as a Blues Festival, teen
concerts, etc.
Their annual fundraiser, Women and Blues Night on October 10 from 9:00 - 11:00 p.m., benefits
Pathways for Women, features Mary McPage and C.C. Janes. Their month-long food drive benefits
Edmonds Food Bank. She encouraged everyone to visit Engel’s Pub located at 5th & Dayton.
4. PRESENTATION ON JAIL SERVICES BY SHERIFF JOHN LOVICK AND CORRECTIONS
BUREAU CHIEF MARK BAIRD.
Snohomish County Sheriff John Lovick described his background, 13 years in the U.S. Coast Guard, 31
years in the Washington State Patrol, 5 years on the Mill Creek City Council, 9 years in the legislature
and Sheriff for approximately 2 years. He commended Police Chief Al Compaan for his professionalism.
In early 2009, the Snohomish County Council made a decision to move jail services under the direction of
the Sheriff and that has proved to be very successful.
Corrections Bureau Chief Mark Baird observed the former message from corrections was the County
responsibility population for felons and unincorporated misdemeants would use up the current capacity in
the jail and there would be a time in the not too distant future when there would be no room in Snohomish
County corrections for municipal prisoners. Since January 1, 2009, Sheriff Lovick has changed that
message to assure that the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office will be in the business of municipal
prisoners for years to come. He explained the change was due to, 1) population trends have not occurred
in the way they anticipated when original forecasts were made, 2) expanded use of community corrections
options has allowed better utilization of secure capacity, and 3) Sheriff Lovick’s commitment for the jail
to be in the municipal business.
The current jail services contract expires at the end of 2009. They have been working with municipal
Police Chiefs and their administrators to develop a new jail services contract for 2010 and into the future.
That process is nearly complete and a final draft will be distributed soon to municipalities. The key
Packet Page 5 of 385
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
September 22, 2009
Page 3
change in the contract is the opportunity for municipalities to take advantage of community correction
options; in addition to secure confinement, there will be opportunity to use work release, electronic home
detention, and in-custody work groups. They have found many appropriate uses for those options and
those less expensive options will allow municipalities’ corrections dollars to be stretched further.
Councilmember Plunkett asked whether crime and the need for jail capacity had increased due to the
recession. Chief Baird answered they had anticipated that happening, however, it had not materialized.
Other facilities along the I-5 corridor have also experienced this unexpected change in the seasonal trend,
a decrease in populations. He did not expect that to continue indefinitely but even in the current
economy, they have not seen an increase and have actually seen a decrease. He noted that also coincided
with typical seasonal low periods.
Councilmember Plunkett asked whether it could be attributed to the new administration in the Sheriff’s
Office. Chief Lovick answered in researching trends, both in King County and Snohomish County, they
found although certain crimes have increased, their population has not increased tremendously. He
anticipated the very bad criminals were being removed from the streets. For example, the very successful
Auto Theft Task Force started last year has reduced auto theft 41% in Snohomish County over the same
period last year. He anticipated this was due to the thieves being apprehended and incarcerated. The
Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office was very interested in crime prevention.
Council President Wilson recalled Granite Falls and Snohomish County were identified as the
methamphetamine capital of the United States in Rolling Stone Magazine a few years ago. He inquired
about changes in meth crimes. Sheriff Lovick responded although there is meth imported into the area,
the issue of meth houses has decreased dramatically, particularly due to legislative actions that made it
more difficult to obtain the drugs to create meth. He acknowledged meth continued to be a problem but
all police agencies were working hard to address that problem.
Council President Wilson asked Sheriff Lovick to describe his involvement in the schools. Sheriff
Lovick explained growing up in a very segregated part of Louisiana in the 1960’s, the person who was
most impressive to him was the Sheriff. The Sheriff reached out to the community and treated everyone
with great dignity and respect. Sheriff Lovick explained when he became Sheriff he wanted to reach as
many young children as possible. He distributes a business card to young people with his picture and the
following message, “Sheriff John Lovick offers all children and young people he meets the following tips
for success: Be kind and respectful, be honest and respectful to everyone, be kind and forgiving to
yourself and to others, never stop learning, take responsibility for your actions, to set goals and work hard
to achieve them and to never give up.”
Council President Wilson referred to recent discussions regarding regionalization of fire service in South
Snohomish County, specifically the Edmonds Fire Department and Fire District 1. He noted King County
had a model where the Sheriff provided police services to several cities. He inquired about the
availability of a similar contract for police services in Snohomish County and his observations regarding
regionalization of police services such as King County’s model. Sheriff Lovick responded he would not
recruit cities to have the Snohomish County Sheriff become their police agency. If a city decided they
wanted to talk with the Sheriff’s Office, he would provide information regarding the level of service, type
of service, etc. King County has had several new cities incorporate in recent years which was not the case
in Snohomish County. The Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office currently has full service police services
contracts with Sultan, Stanwood, Darrington and Community Transit.
Councilmember Bernheim explained Councilmember Peterson and he were on a committee considering
possible savings in municipal court services. He commented upward of 50% of the municipal court’s
traffic case load is driving with license suspended charges and up to 20% of the non-traffic case load is
marijuana and drug paraphernalia possession. He questioned the amount of municipal court funds
Packet Page 6 of 385
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
September 22, 2009
Page 4
devoted to prosecuting those crimes. He thanked Sheriff Lovick and Chief Baird for the information they
provided at his request regarding jail time for driving with license suspended and misdemeanor drug
charges. He asked for their observations on the jailing of adults for misdemeanor drug possession and
driving with license suspended crimes from the viewpoint of jail overcrowding, jail budgeting and tax
expenditures. Sheriff Lovick answered Police Officers are responsible for enforcing the laws the
legislature passes. Although there may be crimes that people may not think deserve jail time, they made
the decision to drive with a suspended license and in most cases without insurance, placing the public at
risk. Similarly a small misdemeanor amount of drugs was a violation of the law and there were
consequences for those actions. He acknowledged there was a cost to municipalities of those rules and
regulations and keeping the public safe.
Councilmember Bernheim asked whether in their opinion the public was safer via the jailing of those
people. Sheriff Lovick answered he was responsible for enforcing the law that the legislature and
municipalities passed.
5. 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
Transportation Engineer Bertrand Hauss explained this was a continuation of the August 4, 2009 public
hearing. He identified a minor change made in response to public comments submitted since September
1, 2009: In Question 2 regarding rail station improvements and future ridership, sentence five in the
second paragraph currently states the permanent Edmonds Train Station is dependent on implementation
of the Edmonds Crossing project; this should be changed to “this project may be in conjunction with the
Edmonds Crossing project.” He explained this change was needed because the project was identified in
the Sound Transit 2 Plan and the permanent Edmonds train station will occur regardless of whether
Edmonds Crossing occurs. If Edmonds Crossing takes place, the train station will be relocated in close
proximity to the new ferry terminal; if the Edmonds Crossing does not take place, the permanent
Edmonds station will remain in its current location with additional improvements.
Jennifer Barnes, ICF Jones & Stokes, explained the Transportation Plan was the City’s long range
planning document to establish the framework and priorities for transportation funding through 2025.
Plan elements include Goals, Objectives, Policies, Street System, Non-Motorized System, Transit and
Transportation Demand Management and Implementation and Financial Plan.
Major milestones completed to date on the project include the following:

Briefing to the City Council on July 21, public hearing on August 4
Ms. Barnes advised responses were prepared in response to questions and comments at the August 4
public hearing. Minor revisions made since as a result of feedback provided on August 4 include the
following:
Removal of projected future land use in Esperance area from Table 1-1 totals
Addition of cul-de-sac design standards back into policies until the ECDC is amended (same as
sidewalk standards)
Addition of alternative ‘non-signal’ improvements for intersections of Main/9th and Walnut/9th.
Addition of TIP description in Implementation Section of Chapter 6 (initially deleted from
Policies)
Correction of oversight, recommend upgrade of the functional classification for Olympic Avenue
between Puget Drive and Main Street from local to collector based on observation of how the
roadway functions
Mayor Haakenson requested further clarification on the impact of upgrading the classification of Olympic
Avenue, whether it increased the availability of funding for sidewalks, etc. Ms. Barnes answered because
Edmonds is a built-up community, when consultants or City staff review the function of the street system,
the intent is to have the classifications reflect the function the roadway is serving. Criteria in the Plan are
used to determine whether there are roadways whose function should be changed based on observation.
On Olympic Avenue, there was no intention to upgrade what was happening on the road but to have the
classification match the function the road is currently serving. Factors on Olympic Avenue include traffic
volume, connection between a park and school, non-motorized pedestrian traffic, the ¾ mile length, etc.
She noted the amount of traffic on the road versus the number of residents on the road indicate drivers are
using the road for mobility versus just for local access. She explained a collector was a 50/50 mix
between local access and through traffic.
She emphasized this was a guideline and the City was not required to adopt their recommendation. The
primary implication of adopting the recommended change was the number of potential funding sources
for the proposed sidewalk. Classification as a collector is one of the minimum qualifications for certain
sources of state and federal funds for the sidewalk. She emphasized the roadway would function the way
it functioned regardless of the classification. The sidewalk was the only improvement proposed on
Olympic Avenue; there was no proposed widening or increased capacity.
Mayor Haakenson commented the residents would likely agree it was not a local road due to the volume
of traffic. He summarized there were no improvements proposed other than the sidewalk as a result of
changing the classification from local to collector but it would allow the City to apply for more grants for
the sidewalk. If the local classification remained, there were less opportunities for grant funding.
If the City were successful in obtaining grant funds for a sidewalk on Olympic Avenue, Councilmember
Plunkett questioned if the roadway would also need to be improved at the time sidewalks were installed.
Public Works Director Noel Miller answered the roadway may need to be widened slightly to ensure
proper lane widths.
Packet Page 8 of 385
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
September 22, 2009
Page 6
Councilmember Plunkett referred to sidewalks being installed on 76th, observing the roadway was being
improved in that location. Mr. Miller agreed there were slight improvements such as a slight widening.
Councilmember Plunkett observed the widening would require additional property. Mr. Miller responded
the existing right-of-way width was sufficient. Councilmember Plunkett asked if there was enough right-
of-way to add lanes. Mr. Miller answered there was not enough for additional lanes, but enough to
accommodate a sidewalk.
Councilmember Plunkett asked if there was an example of a street where sidewalks had been installed and
the street not also improved. Mr. Miller referred to the sidewalk on 76th between Olympic View Drive
and Meadowdale Beach Drive where there are ups and downs in the road profile. Mayor Haakenson
referred to sidewalks being installed on Caspers Street. Mr. Miller answered significant roadway
improvements were not necessary and speeds were low enough from a sight distance standpoint that the
road would not need to be re-profiled. On 220th, the road needed to be re-profiled as part of that project.
Councilmember Plunkett asked whether changing the classification of the road to a collector affected
speeds. Ms. Barnes advised the range of speed limits on a collector was 25-30 mph and the range of
speed limit on a local street was 15-25 mph. Councilmember Plunkett asked if it was anticipated the
speed limit would be increased. Ms. Barnes answered no. Councilmember Plunkett asked whether
changing the classification would necessitate changing the speed limit. Mr. Miller answered it would not.
Councilmember Plunkett asked how a collector differed from a local street other than the speed limit. Mr.
Hauss referred to Table 3-6 on page 3-21 of the Plan that illustrates typical roadway cross-sections,
advising that issue was also addressed in Question 1 of the responses to questions. He summarized the
requirements were nearly the same; the primary difference was the minimum right-of-way for a collector
was 55 feet versus 33 feet for a local street. Olympic Avenue is already 60 feet wide for most of this
section and in one section it is 80 feet wide.
Councilmember Plunkett pointed out according to that table a local street is 2 lanes; a collector could be
2-3 lanes, roadway width for a local is 22 feet; a collector could be as much as 35 feet; sidewalk width on
a local is 5 feet, sidewalk width on a collector could be 5-10 feet. Mr. Hauss clarified in the draft plan the
sidewalk width for both local and collector streets is 7 feet. With regard to speed, Edmonds does not have
any 15-20 mph speed limits; the speed is 25 mph on local streets and 25-30 mph on collectors. He
reiterated the classification would increase the grant funding opportunities for sidewalks and would make
the roadway eligible for overlay using federal stimulus funds.
Councilmember Orvis commented this was not the only proposed reclassification, observing there were
several other recommendations on page 3-7. He observed people purchased their home on a local street,
traffic began shortcutting through the neighborhood and instead of traffic calming, the solution appeared
to be reclassifying the roadway. Ms. Barnes agreed a decision could be made to redesign the road or
install a measure to discourage traffic. Their observation is that the roadway is functioning as a collector,
serving some mobility function. Changing the classification of the roadway would not change the way it
is functioning. Councilmember Orvis asked whether it would be difficult to obtain funding for traffic
calming on a collector. Ms. Barnes agreed it would be, pointing out the option was to implement design
measures to force it to function like a local access road or recognize the function it was serving now and
classify it as a collector. Staff’s recommendation is to have the roadway’s classification reflect its
function. She assured the classification did not generate more traffic.
If the Council wanted to calm/mitigate traffic on Olympic Avenue, Council President Wilson anticipated
an expensive study would be required to determine the best method. There was also the possibility that
the Council would reject the strategy the consultant developed as has happened in the past. He clarified
there were no plans to widen Olympic Avenue regardless of its classification, the only improvement was
better sidewalks; there were no plans to add lanes and the change in classification would assist the City in
Packet Page 9 of 385
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
September 22, 2009
Page 7
obtaining grant funds for sidewalks. He looked forward to sidewalks as he frequently walks on that street
with his two young children.
Mayor Haakenson opened the public participation portion of the continued public hearing.
Lane Sealy, Edmonds, resident on Olympic Avenue, recalled talking with Mayor Haakenson last year
about reducing speeds on Olympic Avenue which he anticipated would also reduce traffic volumes.
Although Mayor Haakenson had speed limit alert flags installed, excessive vehicle speeds and traffic
volumes persist. He disagreed with information in the Plan that Olympic Avenue provided direct
connection between the downtown area via Main Street and north Edmonds, pointing out there were
existing arterials routes that provide that connection. To the statement in the Plan that Olympic Avenue
provides a direct connection to Yost Park, he clarified the Park could be accessed from Olympic Avenue
but not the parking lot. To the statement that Olympic Avenue provides a connection to Edmonds
Elementary, he questioned reclassifying a street that provided access to an elementary school, envisioning
the goal should instead be to minimize traffic volumes and speeds near an elementary school. He
summarized the reason drivers were using Olympic Avenue in a manner other than intended was because
there were no traffic mitigating devices.
Lora Petso, Edmonds, thanked the Council and staff for the changes made to the Plan. She expressed
concern with using the business license fee as a possible funding source and with postponing discussion
of the impact of Firdale Village, Edmonds Crossing, Pt. Wells, etc. With regard to Olympic Avenue, she
pointed out the best solution may not be what staff and the consultant recommend. She pointed out many
of the residents on Olympic Avenue who use the right-of-way for parking would lose their parking if a
sidewalk were installed. She pointed out there was already a sidewalk on one side of Olympic Avenue.
She also questioned whether the notice for this item was adequate as it did not include notice of the
proposed reduction in level of service as required by GMA.
Don Hall, Edmonds, a resident on Olympic Avenue, opposed the change in classification to a collector.
He recalled circulating a petition in their neighborhood to request a 3-way stop at Daley and Olympic
Avenue to reduce speeds. He anticipated a sidewalk on the other side of the roadway would encourage
more speeding. He thanked the Mayor for the additional 25 mph speed limit signs and the radar sign
provided by the Police Department. He noted drivers slow down when the police are there doing
enforcement but it is temporary. He reiterated the request for a 3-way stop at Daley and Olympic
Avenue. He recalled when the Everett Herald interviewed an Edmonds police officer, the officer said the
police do not stop drivers unless they are traveling 11 miles over the speed limit.
Diane Buckshnis, Edmonds, referred to Item 6 in the Plan that states adjust references to Edmonds
Crossing multimodal plan; no City expenditures are proposed, the item is retained as a long term project.
She relayed a comment made by Natalie Shippen that the ferry system’s public position on the future of
its terminal in Edmonds is clearly stated in its long term draft plan 2030; scenario A assumes that the
Edmonds terminal will remain in its current location; an allowance of $26 million is included to enhance
the multimodal connection; and Plan B is unchanged from Plan A. She questioned whether the
Washington State Ferries were being truthful with the City Council and objected to what appeared to be a
placeholder until 2030. She suggested the City require Unocal to cleanup the site and begin discussing
how the property could be used to the City’s advantage.
Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, agreed the statement in the Plan that Olympic Avenue was a route to Yost
Park was incorrect. He recalled the sidewalk on one side of Olympic Avenue was installed due to the
school; other locations with a single sidewalk include 80th, 84th and 88th. He hoped the same
recommendation to change the classification to a collector would not be made for those streets simply
because they had a sidewalk on only one side. Next, he recalled there was a requirement for an EIS due
to increased traffic and parking associated with the ferry terminal and train station. He suggested the
Packet Page 10 of 385
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
September 22, 2009
Page 8
addition of 300 condominiums in the same area should also require an EIS. He also objected to the
$800,000 estimate in the Plan for traffic signals and $2 million for the Five Corners traffic circle.
Hearing no further public comment, Mayor Haakenson closed the public participation portion of the
public hearing.
Mr. Hauss explained the Transportation Committee ranked the sidewalk project as one of the primary
walkway projects in the City. He clarified the recommendation was not to add a new sidewalk on the
west side of the street; the recommendation was to upgrade the existing rolled curb to a six-inch vertical
curb which makes it more difficult for vehicles to enter the sidewalk than a rolled curb.
Mr. Hauss explained the traffic calming program states collector streets are not eligible for traffic
calming. However, on streets such as 220th, radar feedback signs have been effective at reducing speeds.
If the classification of Olympic Avenue were upgraded to collector, the roadway would not be eligible for
traffic calming devices but radar feedback signs could be installed to reduce speeds. With regard to
installing a 3-way stop on Olympic Avenue at Daley Street, he explained a stop sign was not a solution to
reducing speeds and it did not meet the volume or accident history warrants in the Manual of Uniformed
Traffic Control Devices for a stop sign.
Councilmember Bernheim referred to language on page 5-13 of the Plan that states the City is a partner in
the Edmonds Crossing project and the preferred alternative would relocate the station near Pt. Edwards
which would include traffic circulation in downtown Edmonds. He questioned the adherence to the
Edmonds Crossing Plan which has been postponed indefinitely. Ms. Barnes answered the Transportation
Plan considers what will happen through 2025; therefore, the transportation improvements identify traffic
and non-motorized issues during that timeframe. Because funding for Edmonds Crossing is not secure, it
was not feasible to base planning for future improvements on the traffic it would generate.
Councilmember Bernheim asked whether the Transportation Plan anticipated substantial improvements in
the current ferry system such as the ferry holding lanes, incorporating ferry passengers into the downtown
streetscape, etc. Ms. Barnes responded the Plan considered projected ferry ridership that was provided by
PSRC and vehicle modeling reflected the additional traffic generated by the ferry. She summarized there
was a risk of over-design if the Plan reflected projects that would not be constructed during planning
horizon. The reference to the EIS is simply because the project may be in the City’s future and if the
Edmonds Crossing becomes a reality, it should be reflected in the next update. The intent of the Plan was
to acknowledge projects such as Edmonds Crossing that are on the City’s radar as well as have a financed
improvement plan that reflects what was anticipated to be built in the planning timeframe.
Council President Wilson acknowledged the primary issue on Olympic Avenue was speed. He asked
how to ensure that a future sidewalk project would include radar feedback signs. Mr. Hauss answered the
radar feedback signs could be incorporated into the project such as was done with the Puget walkway
project. The City received substantial grant funding for that sidewalk as well as the radar feedback signs.
Council President Wilson recalled the Puget/Caspers/9th walkway project was the top rated project in the
State. He asked how long it had been the City’s top rated project before funding had been obtained. Mr.
Hauss advised the application was submitted in spring 2006 and a grant was awarded in spring 2007.
Design was begun but construction was delayed awaiting additional funding because the bid amounts
were significantly higher than the estimates; another grant for the project was obtained this year.
Council President Wilson assumed one of the major differences between the Puget/Caspers/9th walkway
project and the Olympic Avenue sidewalk project was traffic volumes. He asked if there were other
differences that would make Olympic Avenue less competitive for grant funding. Mr. Hauss commented
it would be much more difficult to obtain grant funding if Olympic Avenue were classified as a local
street. He recalled the City’s grant application for a pedestrian improvement on 80th Avenue West was
Packet Page 11 of 385
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
September 22, 2009
Page 9
rated the lowest of nearly 100 projects because it was a local street. That was one of the reasons for
upgrading Olympic Avenue to a collector in this Plan.
Council President Wilson asked the cost of installing radar feedback signage. Mr. Miller estimated
$10,000-$15,000 each. Council President Wilson asked the funding source for installing two radar
feedback signs in the next two years. Mr. Miller answered a better economic climate that would provide
increased REET funds.
Councilmember Peterson asked whether Olympic Avenue was on the cusp between a local and collector
street or were the traffic patterns well into the characteristics of a collector. He questioned if traffic
mitigation could return Olympic Avenue to the characteristics of a local street. Ms. Barnes answered it
was solidly into the function of a collector which did not necessarily mean there could not be a strategy to
encourage drivers to behave in another manner. The Plan does include a traffic calming program,
however, it is currently unfunded. She commented Olympic Avenue had several characteristics such as
its length that attracted more vehicular traffic. She clarified changing the classification to collector was
not an indication the City wanted to increase traffic volumes, the characteristics of Olympic Avenue were
such that it already attracted higher volumes. She reiterated one of the functions of a collector was to
provide access, unlike the primary function of an arterial which was mobility.
Councilmember Peterson asked what traffic mitigation/slowing measures could be installed to discourage
traffic. Ms. Barnes answered the City was trying to get away from speed humps/bumps as a potential
mitigation measure but other methods such as traffic circles, narrowing, etc. were possibilities to break up
the length of the road. She did not anticipate traffic mitigation/calming would be a low cost solution due
to the ¾ mile length of the roadway.
Councilmember Peterson asked whether a roadway needed to be a collector to obtain Safe Routes to
Schools grant funds. Mr. Hauss answered the City’s Safe Routes to Schools grant for sidewalks on 80th
Avenue was unsuccessful due to 80th Avenue’s classification as a local street.
Councilmember Orvis asked if Transportation Benefit District funds could be used to fund traffic calming
and/or sidewalks. Mr. Miller answered the funds were currently limited to operations and maintenance.
Councilmember Orvis pointed out use of the funds could be amended in the future.
Councilmember Orvis recalled during the Transportation Plan update in 2003 Maplewood Drive was
upgraded to an arterial. He asked if the City had received any state or federal funds for improvements
since the upgrade. Mr. Hauss answered no.
In reference to Ms. Petso’s concern, Council President Wilson asked whether the public hearing had been
properly noticed. City Attorney Scott Snyder responded the Growth Management Hearings Board
requires changes in levels of service to be noticed. The notice provides that there were changes in levels
of service on state routes and references adoption of a Traffic Calming Program. However, the notice did
not clearly indicate there were changes in the levels of service for local streets. He recommended
continuing the public hearing and providing a corrected notice.
Council President Wilson asked how speed bumps/humps impacted the Fire Department’s ability to
respond. Fire Chief Tom Tomberg answered any impedance in the roadway hampered their response.
Councilmember Plunkett observed the axles of fire trucks were longer than automobiles. Chief Tomberg
agreed some traffic impedances were designed so that wheels did not touch them. He pointed out the
impedances also impacted aid units, police units, Fire Department cars. He reiterated anything that
impeded their rapid response increased their response time.

Councilmember Wambolt asked if the effectiveness of radar feedback signs diminished as their use
increased. He pointed out there was a significant amount of speeding in the City and in his opinion the
only solution was more police officers assigned to traffic control. He recalled 20 years ago there were
radar traps throughout the City but now they were very rare. Mr. Hauss answered radar feedback signs
were used in many jurisdictions and were very effective. He suggested staff compare speed study
information on 220th before and after the installation of the radar feedback signs. He pointed out police
enforcement of speeds was periodic; the radar feedback signs were permanent devices. His observation
was that many people braked when the radar feedback sign indicated they were exceeding the speed limit.
Mayor Haakenson suggested testing photo radar on Olympic Avenue.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT WILSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WAMBOLT,
TO CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING AN UPDATE OF THE 2002
TRANSPORTATION PLAN TO OCTOBER 20, 2009. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Council President Wilson requested staff provide an estimate for one radar feedback signage northbound
on Olympic Avenue and one southbound and to fund the cost up to $30,000 from REET.
6. CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE SIX-YEAR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT
PROGRAM (2010-2015) AND PROPOSED RESOLUTION.
City Attorney Scott Snyder advised this public hearing was not subject to the same constraints as the
previous item.
Transportation Engineer Bertrand Hauss advised this was a continuation of the public hearing held on
August 4, 2009. RCW 35.77.010 requires that the City update the Transportation Improvement Program
(TIP) annually. A copy of the adopted TIP will be submitted to Washington State Department of
Transportation, the Puget Sound Regional Council and adjacent jurisdictions. The 2009 Transportation
Plan was used to develop the TIP. The TIP identifies transportation projects in the next six years along
with cost estimates and projected funding such as local, federal and state grants, and the Transportation
Benefit District (TBD). The TIP assumes a $40 increase in the current $20 TBD fee to fund operations
and maintenance. The $40 increase, which requires voter approval, would be implemented in 2013.
The only change made to the TIP since the August 4 public hearing was to the project cost of 196th @ 80th
intersection improvement, which was increased to $889,000 instead of $789,000. He relayed staff’s
recommendation to approve the Six-Year TIP and adopt the Six-Year TIP resolution.
Mayor Haakenson opened the public participation portion of the continued public hearing.
Rich Senderoff, Edmonds, commented one of his pet peeves is improving people movement between
the downtown retail area and the marina/Port area. He referred to an advertisement for an electric tram
manufactured by the Electric Car Company in Long Beach, California. He anticipated the tram would
travel up Railroad Avenue, up Main Street, up 5th and down Dayton. The trams vary in size from 11 - 14
passengers. The suggested retail price is $17,500 and it has a 50 mile range with a 22 mph maximum
speed limit. He suggested this as an environmentally friendly way to move people between downtown
and the waterfront so that they could spend more money. He hoped the current Plan did not preclude
something like a tram in the future.
Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, expressed concern with the estimated expenditures of $800,000 each for
signals at Walnut and James Streets as well as $2 million for a roundabout at Five Corners. He
recommended the traffic signal at 196th/88th be eliminated from the Plan due to the hazards created by
large trucks stopping on a hill.

Hearing no further public comment, Mayor Haakenson closed the public participation portion of the
public hearing.
COUNCILMEMBER PLUNKETT MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETERSON,
TO APPROVE THE SIX-YEAR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (2010-2015)
AND ADOPT THE RESOLUTION NO. 1207.
Council President Wilson voiced his concern with the policy decision in the Plan and the TIP that the
Council would adopt a $100 TBD fee. Although that was the Transportation Committee’s and the
Walkway Committee’s recommendations, he did not support that as a source for funding transportation
projects nor did he have a better alternative.
MOTION CARRIED (6-1), COUNCIL PRESIDENT WILSON OPPOSED.
Mayor Haakenson declared a brief recess.
7. WORK SESSION ON THE FIRE DISTRICT 1 CONTRACT OFFER. PRESENTATION BY CITY
ATTORNEY SCOTT SNYDER REGARDING OPTIONS FOR FIRE SERVICE REGIONALIZA-
TION.
City Attorney Scott Snyder reviewed elements of the following three options for providing fire service:
Contracting for Service
Formation - Requires only approval of Fire District Board and City Council.
Personnel - Impact bargaining is required prior to final decision with all affected bargaining units.
Governance - Fire District provides service under day-to-day contract. City Council establishes
level of service and pays accordingly. Any increase in level of service necessitates increased
payment.
Tax/Finance - No new taxes or increased charges. The City uses available revenue and any
savings are attributable to economies of scale and elimination of duplication.
Annexation to Fire District
Formation - Approval required by Fire District Board, the City Council, the City Voters and the
Fire District Voters. Potential for appeal to the Boundary Review Board.
Personnel - All personnel transfer to Fire District. Impact bargaining required prior to the
Council’s portion of the decision with all affected bargaining units.
Governance - By Fire District. The City Council would have no role in the provision of fire
services. Citizens would vote for Fire District Commissioners.
Tax/Finance - Property tax increment available to City, limited by $3.60 per $1,000 assessed
valuation (Chapter 84.55 taxing limitations). City, citizens and businesses pay Fire District for
fire protection service to City plant through voter approved benefit charges.
Cities cannot establish their own Fire Districts.
Regional Fire Authority (RFA)
Formation - Planning Committee formed with three members from the City and Fire Districts that
form the RFA. Single vote on the Plan by voters within the boundaries of proposed RFA. 50%
majority vote required, some funding options require a 60% majority vote.
Personnel - All personnel transfer to the RFA under the same Collective Bargaining Agreement
terms unless other provisions negotiated. Impact bargaining and negotiation regarding Civil
Service System required.
Governance - By Board of RFA. Composition determined by Planning Committee, comprised of
elected officials from the jurisdictions that established the RFA.
Packet Page 14 of 385
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
September 22, 2009
Page 12
Tax/Finance - Funded by benefit charges on personal and real property, collected by County
Treasurer. Benefit charges are voter approved, 60% majority every six years. Three voter
approved $0.50 per $1,000 assessed valuation excess property tax levies available.
Timing - approximately two years.
Mr. Snyder advised the other significant issue is withdrawal. The proposed contract has a ten year notice
rolling provision for withdrawal [Note: this was corrected later in the meeting to five years]. An RFA
can be ended and the parties can withdraw; although the procedure for withdrawal from an RFA is not
well addressed by the State statute and getting employees and assets back from the RFA if it contained
more than two parties could be a complex process. He noted one of the advantages of the contract was,
although it was a slow withdrawal period, it had well established parameters for how employees and
assets were returned.
Council President Wilson commented his goal for Mr. Snyder’s presentation was to provide options for
regionalizing fire service. He asked what lessons Mr. Snyder had learned in his experience with other
municipalities. Mr. Snyder responded he had been involved in one reverse annexation, Poulsbo to Kitsap
County Fire District 10. The negotiation with the union and the asset transfer were the most time
consuming. The reverse annexation served the purpose of freeing revenue for the city and there have
been no comments in the community in the ten years following the transfer. He commented 49 cities in
Washington have done reverse annexation; the majority before there was an RFA option available.
Council President Wilson asked if there were any buyer’s remorse or downstream contractual issues in
the reverse annexation. Mr. Snyder answered the main fire station remained in Poulsbo. The only thing
residents noticed was the name on the trucks changed.
Councilmember Bernheim commented the options Mr. Snyder presented were alternatives to the current
City-operated fire department. He asked how fire service was provided in the other larger cities in
Washington State. Mr. Snyder answered he did not know and offered to forward an AWC link that lists
all the Fire Districts and Fire Departments in the State. He suggested reverse annexation was more
common in Eastern Washington. Councilmember Bernheim asked whether there was any pattern
regarding the type of cities that utilized certain types of fire protection. Mr. Snyder answered the RFA
was a new tool and had not had an opportunity to function.
Councilmember Wambolt asked for clarification regarding the notice requirement to withdraw from the
Fire District 1 contract. He recalled after five years, there was a two year notice requirement. Mr. Snyder
agreed.
Council President Wilson asked about termination of the Fire District 1 contract if an RFA were formed.
Mayor Haakenson responded Chief Tomberg has forwarded proposed language to the Fire District’s
attorney and has not yet had a response.
Council President Wilson suggested adding a requirement for an annual meeting between the Fire District
1 Commission and the City Council. Chief Tomberg advised the contract included an annual meeting
between the Mayor, Chair of the Fire District 1 Board and Fire Chief. Council President Wilson clarified
his intent was not a contract management meeting but an opportunity for the Council to have a discussion
with the Commission to ensure the City’s and the Fire District’s interests were aligned. Mayor
Haakenson agreed language regarding an annual meeting between the Fire District 1 Commission and the
City Council would be added to the contract.
Council President Wilson asked what impacts Initiative 1033, which will limit cities’ ability to increase
revenue to the General Fund beyond inflation, would have on the City’s ability to fund the contract.
Mayor Haakenson commented the Council planned to consider a resolution regarding I-1033 at a future
Packet Page 15 of 385
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
September 22, 2009
Page 13
Council meeting. In his opinion if I-1033 passed, “we might as well just close the doors to the City.” The
City would be better off on a contract basis than operating its own Fire Department because a contract
guarantees fire service; with the City’s own Fire Department, passage of I-1033 could require the closure
of fire stations or worse. He emphasized the impacts of I-1033 would be very detrimental to city services
throughout the State.
Council President Wilson observed short term the City was better off with the contract due to the savings
as well as weathering the impacts of I-1033 should it pass. In the long term, he feared the cost of public
safety inflation would outpace inflation. He anticipated it would be difficult to ask voters to fund fire
service if the City was not providing the service via its own Fire Department.
Council President Wilson explained via the contract, the City would pay 75% of the Fire Marshal position
and 100% of the Fire Inspector position and housed both in City Hall. He asked why the contract was not
structured to retain them as City employees. Chief Tomberg answered it was to maintain a coherent fire
service mission a portion of which is fire prevention. Another issue would be the chain of command and
the priority of their mission. Mr. Snyder pointed out if they were retained as City employees, the City
would still have the cost of negotiating with them as a bargain unit. Chief Tomberg commented the
contract was modeled after the Mountlake Terrace and Brier contract and that was how those positions
were handled in their contract. He summarized the priority and focus of prevention was best retained as
part of the Fire Department.
Council President Wilson asked if a Fire District 1 representative would attend appropriate Council
meetings to respond to questions regarding fire service. Mayor Haakenson anticipated they would. Chief
Tomberg advised the Fire Marshal and Inspector would remain in their current offices. On Wednesday
mornings the City holds an expanded staff meeting with all directors and other division leaders. Another
meeting follows with Community Development, Development Services and Public Works staff. He
proposed the Fire Marshal attend that meeting to address and/or refer issues that arise. Mayor Haakenson
advised the purpose of housing the Fire Marshal in City Hall was to approve building plans, etc.
Council President Wilson inquired about the Public Safety boat, Marine 16. Chief Tomberg responded
Marine 16 was acquired via a grant that required it be a County asset and respond to fire, EMS or law
enforcement rescues when requested and available. Ownership and title to the boat was given to the City
and will remain with the City. When Fire District 1 uses the boat for training or emergency response,
they will pay for the fuel the same as they do now. The only vehicle replacement aspects of the boat are
the motors. The boat is addressed in the Interlocal Agreement and the exhibits. If an agency wants to add
something to the boat, they pay for it themselves; if an item serves both fire and law enforcement
purposes, they split the cost. Whoever is driving the boat when an accident occurs pays for the repairs.
The City has owned the boat for approximately two years and the current system has worked well.
Council President Wilson clarified the boat was currently funded in the budget 50% by fire and 50% by
law enforcement. He asked if the 50% cost of Marine 16 had been deducted from projected savings.
Chief Tomberg advised the cost was not significant and included only fuel and funds set aside annually to
replace the motors. He suggested Fleet Maintenance Manager Dave Sittauer provide a cost estimate.
Councilmember Wambolt asked if the City’s portion of the Fire Marshal and the Fire Inspector were
included in the budget. Interim Finance Director Lorenzo Hines referred to Exhibit C, advising the costs
were included in the fire contract of $6.2 million: $130,566 for the Inspector and $121,669 for the Fire
Marshal.
Councilmember Bernheim provided several observations:
The proposed contract maintains the current level of service and eliminates any opportunities the
City had via its own Fire Department to improve levels of service. Under the contract, labor
Packet Page 16 of 385
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
September 22, 2009
Page 14
increases are passed on; if Fire District 1 negotiates a great contract for the fire personnel, the
City has no choice other than to pay the increase which he viewed as a loss of control.
Should such an important issue, contracting for fire service, be the subject of a public vote?
Recalling the lack of intergovernmental cooperation when negotiating for the purchase of
property with the Edmonds School District, will the same be true with Fire District 1 in the
future?
What is the remedy for non-performance of Fire District 1 such as lengthy response times?
What advisory role have the current Fire Department employees had in the proposed contract?
What is their feeling about joining a larger scale operation with a more corporate environment
with more resources, larger economies of scale and possibly more opportunities for professional
development versus working for a small town Fire Department with local control and input and
working one-on-one with the chief and other employees?
Concern with long term costs of contracting for Fire Department, Police Department, Public
Works, road maintenance, etc.
Council President Wilson asked why the contract proposed that Fire District 1 pay the City for the asset
transfer over four years? Mayor Haakenson said the contract could be revised to have the payment in one
lump sum. Council President Wilson preferred to have the payment at one time. Mr. Hines explained in
speaking with Foster Pepper, the payment was spread over four years to allow repayment of the bond debt
associated with the stations over the same four years. If the funds were received at one time, it was
possible the entire bond debt associated with the stations would need to be repaid at the same time.
Council President Wilson anticipated paying the bond debt with the funds received from the asset
transfer. Mayor Haakenson explained the bonds were refinanced recently and there may be prepayment
penalties. Council President Wilson questioned the present value of $8.2 million versus the amount with
four years of compounded interest. Mr. Hines offered to provide further details.
Councilmember Wambolt asked staff to comment on Fire District 1 cost escalations. Chief Tomberg
suggested Councilmember Bernheim’s questions be directed to the Mayor and City Manager of
Mountlake Terrace and Mayor of Brier when they meet with the Council. The agreement also includes
performance clauses, dispute resolution procedures, etc. He summarized the City continuing to operate
its own Fire Department would be expensive. He urged the Council to consider the starting point with
Fire District 1 of $6.2 million. He acknowledged Fire District 1 would negotiate cost of living increases
that the City would pay, the same as the City did with its own Fire Department. He concluded the City
got much more via contracting with Fire District 1.
Councilmember Plunkett commented uniform labor costs were a function of State law such as firefighters
could not strike and the City must use comparables. Chief Tomberg pointed out there is also binding
arbitration. Mr. Snyder referred to language in the contract that requires the use of comparables. He
pointed out a larger unit would have higher comparables because it would be compared to larger
organizations. Councilmember Plunkett summarized Fire District 1 would use comparables the same as
the Edmonds City Council and either an agreement was reached with regard to comparables or it was
resolved with the use of an arbitrator.
8. PUBLIC COMMENT ON THE FIRE DISTRICT 1 CONTRACT OFFER
George Murray, Edmonds, liked the City Council’s discussion regarding contracting with Fire District 1
but objected to Mayor Haakenson’s presentation which seemed like a sales pitch because it did not
address the negatives. His involvement with three mergers revealed the only ones that benefited from the
merger were senior executives. He questioned how Fire District 1 could operate their Fire Department
cheaper than the Edmonds Fire Department, particularly when most of the $6 million cost were labor-
associated costs. He requested the Finance Director provide a comparison of the cost under the Edmonds
Fire Department versus Fire District 1’s costs. He feared the proposed contract was a low-ball estimate
Packet Page 17 of 385
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
September 22, 2009
Page 15
and there would be a large increase in future years. He was also concerned with the loss of control and
how the contract could be unwound. With the potential of I-1033, he pointed out the City could better
manage expenses with its own Fire Department. He questioned the Fire Department’s endorsement of
some City Council candidates.
Councilmember Plunkett clarified the Fire Department did not endorse candidates, the firefighters union
has endorsed some candidates.
Rich Senderoff, Edmonds, asked, 1) what was the best long term arrangement for the community, 2)
what was the best long term arrangement for the firefighters, and 3) if the proposed contract was the best
for the community and the firefighters, what was the appropriate value and financial terms for the
contract? He recognized the benefits of consolidation to minimize duplication of resources and saving
money, noting it was usually followed by a redistribution of resources that reflect redundancy and to
improve overall efficiency of the larger unit. Under this contract Fire District 1 will be allowed to
redistribute firefighters to other stations which he acknowledged may or may not impact fire service in
Edmonds as Fire District 1 focuses on maintaining the best service over a broader area. He requested
more specifics regarding the process to modify or withdraw from the contract, assuming it would be
easier to reverse the contract if the capital transfer was a separate transaction from the contract. He was
also concerned with the presentation of the contract as an alternate to the levy, noting if it was a good
deal, it should be a good deal in both good and bad financial times. He was concerned with selling capital
assets in a depressed market based on current valuation. He was concerned the current schedule did not
allow sufficient public hearings after all the information had been presented.
Lora Petso, Edmonds, questioned the proposed $800,000 savings. She did not feel the City was
receiving full value for its assets if the money were not provided in a lump sum payment. She was
concerned the City could not easily withdraw from the contract, and that the contract did not adequately
protect response times. With regard to the proposed savings, she questioned the inclusion of $580,000 in
overhead items in Tab 3, pointing out the savings included a portion of the Council, the City Clerk, etc.
She anticipated once more data regarding the EMS levy was available, the proposed savings would
disappear. She anticipated the City would lose $1 million if payment for the assets was accepted over
four years. With regard to withdrawal, she pointed out the contract cannot be terminated for at least five
years; however, the proposal was to spend the money received from the sale of assets on operating
expenses, leaving no money to repurchase assets if that became necessary. She pointed out the City’s
only recourse to longer response times was to meet with the Fire District 1 Board. She urged the Council
to include a mechanism for addressing longer response times with Fire District 1. She also suggested the
City consider forming a Fire District with Woodway.
Diane Buckshnis, Edmonds, agreed with Dr. Senderoff’s concerns with piecemeal public comments as
information regarding the Fire District 1 contract was presented. The discounted cash flow analysis she
conducted revealed the City would lose $1 million - $2 million. She pointed out the itemization of
minutia as attractive assets in the contract, yet the furnishings inside the fire stations were not itemized.
She suggested separating the real estate transaction from the contract for fire service.
Finis Tupper, Edmonds, observed the contract was modeled after the Mountlake Terrace contract.
However, in the Mountlake Terrace contract, the city retains the EMS transport fee versus the Edmonds
contract in which Fire District 1 collects the transport fees. He pointed out Mukilteo had 2 fire stations
with a $4 million annual budget, Mountlake Terrace 1 fire station with a $2 million annual budget, and
Edmonds has 3 fire stations with a $6 million budget and 1 of the fire stations serves Esperance and
Woodway.
Ray Martin, Edmonds, recalled the City’s taxes were low 40 years ago compared to today’s taxes. He
anticipated the additional cost to Edmonds taxpayers in the first five years of the contract would be $1
Packet Page 18 of 385
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
September 22, 2009
Page 16
million - $2 million. He was not convinced the City would save a great deal long term via the contract.
He pointed out the options provided by Mr. Snyder did not include retaining the City’s existing Fire
Department. He urged the Council to think seriously about this before making a decision.
COUNCILMEMBER WAMBOLT MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT WILSON,
TO EXTEND THE MEETING UNTIL 10:45 P.M. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Councilmember Plunkett requested staff provide a written response to the questions raised by Ms. Petso
and Ms. Buckshnis. Mayor Haakenson advised staff would provide responses at the next meeting.
Council President Wilson expressed interest in the termination clause and how the City could withdraw if
the contract was not workable. To Ms. Petso’s question about the $580,000 savings in overhead, he
explained there was a distinction between the cost of fire service and what the City would save; a
percentage of the Council, Human Resources, legal, etc. was currently allocated to the Fire Department.
Those costs would continue to be incurred but would not be costs associated with the Fire District 1
contract. Although his preference would be to form a Fire District which allows voters to pay taxes to an
organization they approved, that option was not part of this discussion.
Council President Wilson observed the contract could only be terminated in five years with the exception
of a material breach. He asked that the RFA termination clause be included as a reason for termination
before five years. To Dr. Senderoff’s concern that public hearings were being held prior to presenting all
the information, Council President Wilson assured the Council would take all the time it needed to make a
decision and any Councilmember could request additional meetings.
To Mr. Murray’s concerns, Council President Wilson acknowledged he has also been working though his
skepticism over how Fire District 1 could provide fire service less expensively than the Edmonds Fire
Department. He was finding the numbers added up and he was getting to a place where he was
increasingly comfortable with the proposed contract. To the question of how Fire District 1 operated
more cheaply, Council President Wilson commented in his opinion Fire District 1 was going to subsidize
Edmonds operations which was clearly a financial benefit to Edmonds in the short term. He noted the
hypothetical considerations regarding I-1033 applied whether the City had its own Fire Department or
contracted with Fire District 1. He assured he would not support placing the funds from the sale of the
assets into the General Fund. He wanted to ensure those funds were available in the event the City
wanted to withdraw from the contract and buy back the stations and equipment.
Councilmember Wambolt stated he would not support placing the funds from the sale of the assets into
the General Fund. With regard to Ms. Petso’s comments regarding overhead expenses, he explained
those were overhead expenses associated with the current Fire Department and would be eliminated via
the Fire District 1 contract. To Mr. Martin’s comment that this was creating a new tax, he assured this
was not an RFA and did not create a new taxing authority. The contract with Fire District 1 would be
paid by the City via revenues it currently collected. With regard to the assets within the station, he agreed
that needed further explanation. With regard to withdrawal, although there were clauses that addressed
withdrawal, he questioned how that could be practically accomplished. If there was any possibility that
there would need to be a withdrawal, he did not favor moving forward with the contract.
Councilmember Plunkett observed a lot of governmental entities had windfalls and most placed a portion
of it in a permanent fund that generated earnings.
9. AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Barbara Tipton, Edmonds, referred to the notice of application for development of the former Safeway
property and explained a rezone was required if a property owner wanted to use their land in a manner
Packet Page 19 of 385
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
September 22, 2009
Page 17
that was not currently allowed. In this case it was a change from BC to CG and CG2 which includes a
height increase from 25 feet to 60 -75 feet. She referred to Section 20.40.010 that contains factors the
Planning Board must consider in their review of a rezone request, 1) whether the proposal is consistent
with the long range Comprehensive Plan, 2) the potential impacts on the existing land uses in the vicinity
of the proposed development, 3) whether there had been any changes that would necessitate the rezone,
and 4) the impacts on the public health, safety and welfare. The City’s code also requires applicants to
submit a SEPA checklist. The SEPA checklist in file number R20090042 submitted by ESC Associates
contains several out-of-date studies including a soils study from July 1980, a geotechnical investigation
completed in 1991, and a site assessment completed in 1991. The City’s Best Available Science Report
published November 11, 2004 chides the City Planner for relying solely on reports and studies submitted
by applicants. In this case the reports are outdated which should make the application incomplete. She
pointed out this affected the due diligence the Planning Division and Board must undertake to determine
whether to accept or deny the application. She pointed out the need to consider drainage problems. She
encouraged the public to make a written request to become a party of record by emailing
lien@ci.edmonds.wa.us or submitting a letter to Planner Kernen Lien at City Hall referencing file number
R20090042.
Joan Bloom, Edmonds, explained she and two other Edmonds citizens met with Kernen Lien in the
City’s Planning Department on August 24 to discuss ESC Associates’ application for a contract rezone on
the Antique Mall/old Safeway property. They were told notification of the application would be made on
August 28. She pointed out this application requests the current zone, BC with a 25 +5 foot height limit,
be changed to CG with a 60 foot height limit and CG2 with a 72 foot height limit. According to Mr. Lien,
the Planning Department would review the application and forward their recommendation to the Planning
Board; at least one public hearing before the Planning Board was required and the Planning Board could
hold additional public hearings. Following the Planning Board’s review, they will forward a
recommendation to the Council and the Council will review the application as a closed record review.
Ms. Bloom posed the following questions: 1) will there be a public hearing on this application before the
City Council, 2) how will citizens be notified of public hearings regarding this application, 3) what is a
party of record and how does a person become a party of record in order to speak before the Planning
Board or City Council, 4) what is the deadline to establish oneself as a party of record, 5) what is a Type
IVB quasi judicial application and why is the application a Type IVB, 6) is this an application for contract
rezone only and not a project the applicants plan to build themselves, and 7) where can citizens easily find
answers to these questions on the City’s website. She advised the application materials were available on
the City’s website via Quick Links and Online Permits. The permit number is PLN20090042.
At Mayor Haakenson’s suggestion, Ms. Bloom provided her list of questions to the City Clerk. Council
President Wilson requested staff prepare and distribute written responses to Ms. Bloom’s questions.
City Attorney Scott Snyder advised the open public review was before the Planning Board and notice
would be published as well as posted on the City’s website. In order to become a party of record, a
person needed to submit written comments or oral testimony to the Planning Board prior to their final
deliberation. Ms. Bloom asked the date of the Planning Board’s final deliberation. Mayor Haakenson
invited Ms. Bloom to call him and he would determine when the matter was scheduled on the Planning
Board’s agenda.
George Murray, Edmonds, asserted notification for application R20090042 for the former Safeway
property was inadequate. He explained a letter of completeness was issued on August 28, 2009 by City
staff and notice published in the Everett Herald as well as posted on the property and mailed to property
owners within a 300 foot radius. Only 47 notices were mailed and he questioned whether anyone read the
legal notices in the Everett Herald whose circulation in Edmonds was approximately 2400. Further, the
boards on the site had no information until September 10 or 12. He displayed the notice and questioned
Packet Page 20 of 385
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
September 22, 2009
Page 18
the wording it contained. He requested the City publish information in plain English in the Edmonds
Beacon and the Enterprise to inform citizens how they could be involved in the process.
Joanne Green, Edmonds, thanked the Mayor for meeting with them regarding the house under
construction at 523 Alder. She explained the work order was lifted on the home and the developer began
Monday morning blocking the line of sight from the second floor of the adjacent building. She pointed
out since construction began the developer has done nothing to mitigate the damage to his neighbors. She
expressed concern with Mayor Haakenson’s response that the neighbors should have expected this. She
suggested the lesson learned from this was that the Planning Department and the City believe a 3-story
house on a 40 foot-wide lot was acceptable. She obtained a list of properties this developer owns in
Edmonds and planned to visit the neighbors to inform them that a 3-story house on a 40-foot wide lot
could be coming to their neighborhood soon.
Bill Green, Edmonds, referred to the house under construction at 523 Alder as “the ugliest building
you’ve ever seen in your life.” He implored the Council to consider the City’s regulations to prevent this
occurring elsewhere in the City. He explained with the housing boom that followed WWII, some cities
had zoning, some did not and some had spot zoning. The spot zoning was declared invalid by the courts
and each city was required to develop a general plan prior to zoning. He worked in numerous cities
throughout the United States, and most established 25-foot height limits to accommodate two stories and
a peaked roof. However, in Edmonds the height limit was 25 feet plus and could reach 30-31 feet. He
urged the Council to keep Edmonds as “Edmonds” which may mean changing rules or interpreting them
differently. He concluded although the house may add $500,000 to the City’s tax base, it would lower the
assessed valuation of the adjacent properties’ value by $1 million.
Rich Senderoff, Edmonds, commended the presence of Engel’s Pub in Edmonds, rated the Best Blue’s
Bar by the Washington Blues Society. As a fan of the blues, he used to travel to Seattle to visit blues
clubs but now can find blues locally at Engel’s Pub. He referred to the movie, “Cadillac Records,” the
story of Chess Records which popularized blues music. He suggested citizens watch the movie and visit
Engel’s Pub to hear some great blues music on Wednesday and Saturday nights.
Jan Darcy, Edmonds, relayed the comments of a young woman outside her condominium regarding the
building at 523 Alder who asked, “Is your City Council asleep to allow that massive, ugly building on
such a small space here in Edmonds?” She thanked the Councilmembers who supported their efforts to
enforce the code, make the builder adhere to the code and to question the practices of the Building
Department with regard to code violations. She expressed concern with Mayor Haakenson’s patronizing
attitude and trivializing the impact of the building on their view. She needs to move to be near her son
but was unable to sell her condominium as prospective buyers’ comments had expressed concern about
the ugly building next door. She obtained an inspection dated September 10, 2009 indicating the height
of the building had been increased. After being told by staff that further appeal would require a challenge
in Supreme Court, she concluded it was fruitless to try to be a good citizen and attempt to reign in the
blatant misinterpretation of the City’s code that seems to be interpreted any way a builder wants
regardless of how detrimental it was to Edmonds’ citizens. She was hopeful the group that was working
to clarify the code would be successful.
Ray Martin, Edmonds, questioned if he was a party of record. He pointed out $6600 had been
contributed by the developer to Council campaigns. He was opposed to any increase in the current
maximum 30-foot height. With regard to Olympic Avenue, he pointed out the Council did nothing to
help the residents. He suggested rather than the radar feedback signs, installing a school zone crosswalk
which required a 20 mph speed limit, or installing traffic cameras which are allowed in a school zone. He
suggested once the traffic cameras slowed speed on Olympic Avenue, they could be moved to the school
zone on 76th Avenue. He also suggested the Police Department establish periodic speed traps on Olympic
Avenue.

COUNCILMEMBER WAMBOLT MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETERSON,
TO EXTEND THE MEETING UNTIL 11:15 P.M. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, commented on the removal of striping on SR 104 that reopened Paradise
Lane and Edmonds Way to traffic. He was pleased the Council awarded the bid for the Senior Center
entrance. Next, he commented on the proposed rezone of the former Safeway/Antique Mall property, and
urged the public to submit comments on the SEPA review. He concluded the City would not have its
current financial problems if the Mayor’s salary had been remained lower.
Mayor Haakenson asked Mr. Snyder to respond to Ms. Bloom’s question regarding why the application
was a contract rezone, why it was quasi judicial and why it was a closed record review before the City
Council. Mr. Snyder responded it was a contract rezone because that was what the applicant submitted;
the applicant had the choice of a development agreement or a contract rezone. In a contract rezone, the
applicant offers to limit their use of the zone in an effort to address the criteria Ms. Bloom enumerated. It
was quasi judicial with a closed record review before the Council because that was required by State law.
Mayor Haakenson reiterated it was a closed record review before the Council due to State law, not
because the Council chose that process. Mr. Snyder emphasized anyone who wished to address the
Council at the closed record review needed to participate at the Planning Board level either by submitting
written comment or providing testimony to the Planning Board.
Council President Wilson suggested scheduling a 5-10 minute informational presentation to describe the
Planning Board and City Council process with regard to the application, how citizens can be involved in
the process, etc. Mr. Snyder suggested providing an outline of the process on the City’s website. He
advised the review schedule was currently unknown until the notice periods concluded and decisions were
made with regard to the SEPA declaration. He offered to confer with staff regarding providing
procedural information to the Council and citizens.
Councilmember Plunkett complimented the citizens who raised procedural questions regarding the
application for the old Safeway site. He clarified the citizens wanted to know how and where they could
get involved to ensure they were not left out of the process. He agreed posting information on the City’s
website would be an excellent method for providing that information.
Councilmember Bernheim referred to Mr. Snyder’s indication that the public could speak to the Council
during a closed record review. Mayor Haakenson clarified the public could speak at the Planning Board
public hearing and parties of record may speak during the Council’s closed record review. Mr. Snyder
explained when there was an appeal to the Council, input from parties of record was limited to written
correspondence. A rezone is a combined legislative-quasi judicial decision forwarded to the Council with
a recommendation from the Planning Board. Parties of record have an opportunity to address the Council
during a closed record review. Councilmember Bernheim clarified a member of the public may become a
party of record via submitting written comments to the Planning Board or by providing testimony to the
Planning Board. Mr. Snyder agreed, noting in the past, citizens could sign in to become a party of record;
that has changed to require submittal of written or oral comments.
Councilmember Bernheim inquired about the SEPA determination deadline. Mr. Snyder explained after
the SEPA checklist is submitted, the responsible City official makes a Determination of Significance,
Determination of Non-Significance or Mitigated Determination of Non-Significance. Because that
decision has not yet been made, it is difficult to provide a chronology of dates. Mayor Haakenson advised
the SEPA deadline is August 28.
Councilmember Bernheim agreed with Council President Wilson’s suggestion to provide information to
the public to avoid “making this as difficult as possible” for people to participate in this extremely
important project. Mr. Snyder responded Washington courts have held that specific notice regarding a
Packet Page 22 of 385
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
September 22, 2009
Page 20
project is not required; the City will follow its adopted procedures. He agreed it was important to identify
the steps in the process and provide dates that were known but there was risk associated with the Council
providing gratuitous notice. He agreed it was a complex process and this would be the first application
under the new code procedures.
In response to Mr. Martin’s suggestions regarding Olympic Avenue, Mayor Haakenson assured he has
met with residents on Olympic Avenue several times in recent years and Olympic Avenue has more radar
enforcement than any other street in the City.
In response to Mr. Hertrich’s comment about the Mayor’s salary, Mayor Haakenson suggested even with
every penny he has been paid in the last ten years, the City would be in the same financial situation.
In response to Ms. Darcy and Ms. Green’s comments regarding the building at 523 Alder, Council
President Wilson commented he was surprised and shocked at how the code was being interpreted and
that a building was allowed to be constructed with a roofline that was later found to be illegal. He
acknowledged even if the code had been followed, views from the adjacent building would have been
impacted. He expressed appreciation for Councilmember Bernheim and Orvis’ involvement in this issue.
He advised a meeting was scheduled in the future to review roof issues. He thanked Ms. Darcy and Ms.
Green for their effort to identify these issues.
10. DISCUSSION AND POTENTIAL ACTION RELATED TO FOUR (4) SWEET GUM TREES
LOCATED AT 5TH AVENUE SOUTH & DAYTON STREET.
Mayor Haakenson explained the Council was provided a report from the City Arborist as well as an
independent arborist and Councilmembers were asked to examine the condition of the trees themselves
including one that is bolted together and another that is rotting.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT WILSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETERSON,
TO REMOVE THE TWO SWEET GUM TREES ON THE NORTHEAST CORNER AND THE
TWO TREES ON THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF DAYTON & 5TH.
Councilmember Wambolt recalled the Council placed a moratorium on the removal of these trees with
full knowledge of the sidewalk condition. The new information is the City Arborist said the trees are
unsafe. He expressed concern that because the independent arborist knew the prior findings and what
staff wanted, he/she was likely to reach the same conclusion. Councilmember Wambolt asked if the four
trees were unsafe. He asked if the four replacement trees had been purchased and what size they were.
Public Works Director Noel Miller relayed Parks Maintenance Supervisor Rich Lindsay had reserved four
3-inch caliper October Glory Maples at a nursery. The root ball of those trees should fit because the
planter areas in this location are bigger than the standard tree well in the sidewalk.
Councilmember Wambolt reiterated his question if the four trees were unsafe? Mayor Haakenson
referred to sections 4.0 and 4.1 of the arborist report that states there is the potential for failure of one
form or another of these trees. As previously discussed, the report included bark that can develop
between the co-dominant leaders can cause failure of one of them at anytime. The arborist also circled
the areas of damage in Figures 1 and 2 of the exhibits.
Councilmember Bernheim anticipated this issue would not have arisen had the tree replacement program
been more robust in the past. He referred to studies that indicate shoppers are willing to pay more and go
out of their way to shop in a tree-lined small town village; however, the City was not promoting
downtown shopping by the type of trees that being used to replace mature trees. He disagreed with the
overall tree management downtown with regard to the sidewalks, preferring to remove the sidewalk and
Packet Page 23 of 385
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
September 22, 2009
Page 21
evaluate the roots before removing trees. The value of the City’s mature trees justified the cost of
repairing the sidewalk or installing flexible sidewalks to accommodate the trees. With regard to the tree
species recommended, he anticipated the Maple tree would create similar problems with the sidewalk. He
announced a free 3-hour workshop “Persuasion and the Benefits of Urban Trees” in Tacoma on October
21. Councilmember Bernheim summarized without clear evidence regarding the safety of the trees, he
did not support their removal.
Councilmember Peterson agreed it was important to have a discussion about the Street Tree Plan in the
future. He pointed out one of the trees was bolted together. Mr. Miller advised the bolted tree was small
enough and was being held together sufficiently that it did not create a safety issue. Councilmember
Peterson asked which of the four trees presented a safety issue such as a branch breaking and falling. Mr.
Miller answered the arborist’s report stated as the trees get larger, the likelihood of a branch breaking off
increases. Mayor Haakenson clarified it was not a branch breaking off; the trunk of the tree was splitting.
Mr. Miller displayed photographs of the October Morning Glory trees in front of the Bank of
Washington, pointing out the new trees would be significant size in ten years and they were a better tree
long term for this area.
UPON ROLL CALL, MOTION FAILED (1-6), COUNCILMEMBER OLSON IN FAVOR; AND
COUNCIL PRESIDENT WILSON, AND COUNCILMEMBERS ORVIS, PLUNKETT,
BERNHEIM, PETERSON, AND WAMBOLT OPPOSED.
11. COUNCIL REPORTS ON OUTSIDE COMMITTEE/BOARD MEETINGS.
Councilmember Wambolt reported on the August 21 and September 4 Port Commission meetings where
the Commission began working on the 2010 budget by reviewing moorage costs and a cost recovery
analysis. The Commission approved the purchase of a new F150 truck for their Security Department.
They approved the Economic Development budget of $30,000 for 2010. The consultants studying the
redevelopment of Harbor Square property, LMN Architects, will present their report to the Commission
in October.
Councilmember Orvis reported the Health Board has been discussing H1N1 vaccinations.
12. MAYOR'S COMMENTS
Mayor Haakenson had no report.
13. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Councilmember Plunkett referred to a September 15 memo from Mayor Haakenson regarding Yost Pool
that states given the success of Yost Pool in 2009, staff recommends continuing the same schedule in
2010.
14. ADJOURN
With no further business, the Council meeting was adjourned at 11:23 p.m.

BNSF Double Track Utilities Upgrade Bid Authorization
Edmonds City Council Meeting
Date:10/06/2009
Submitted By:Conni Curtis
Submitted For:Robert English Time:Consent
Department:Engineering Type:Action
Review Committee:
Committee Action:
Information
Subject Title
Authorization to call for bids for the BNSF double track utilities upgrade project.
Recommendation from Mayor and Staff
Council authorize Staff to advertise for bids for the BNSF double track utilties upgrade project.
Previous Council Action
In June, 2008, Council authorized the Mayor to sign a professional services agreement with KPFF
Consulting Engineers, Inc. for design services for the BNSF double track utilities upgrade project.
Narrative
In April 2008, the City was informed by BNSF that the double tracking project along the
Edmonds waterfront would require improvements to several City utility pipelines that cross
beneath the railroad tracks. The work will upgrade the existing pipelines so they withstand the
additional weight imposed by the future second track.
The project will also replace an existing watermain at Brackett's Landing North Park and add a
new watermain in James Street between Sunset Avenue and Railroad Street to improve the water
system and fire flow service. This work was added to the project because of the close proximity to
the utility crossings at Main and Dayton Streets.
In June 2008, Council awarded a contract to KPFF Consulting Engineers, Inc. for design of the
project. Design is nearing completion and Staff is ready to call for bids to construct the project.
The project costs are being funded by the 412 Utility Fund.

BHC Addendum No. 4 for Lift Station 2

Department:Engineering Type:Action
Review Committee:

Subject Title
Authorization for Mayor to sign Addendum No. 4 to the Professional Services Agreement with
BHC Consultants, LLC.
Recommendation from Mayor and Staff
Council authorize Mayor to sign Addendum No. 4 to the Professional Services Agreement with
BHC Consultants, LLC with respect to the Lift Station 2 rehabilitation project.
Previous Council Action
On July 26, 2005, Council authorized the Mayor to sign a professional services agreement with
Berryman & Henigar, Inc. (now BHC Consultants, LLC) for Lift Stations 2 & 13 Design
Services. On January 6, 2006, Addendum No. 1 was signed with regard to survey and topographic
mapping.
On April 25, 2006, Council authorized the Mayor to sign Addendum No. 2 to the Lift Stations 2 &
13 professional services agreement. On December 20, 2008, Addendum No. 3 was signed with
regard to geological investigation required for the new location for Lift Station 2.
Narrative
On July 26, 2005, Council authorized the Mayor to sign a professional services agreement with
BHC, LLC for the preliminary design of the Lift Station 2 rehabilitation/Lift Station 13
elimination project. During the course of preliminary design, it was determined that Lift Stations 2
and 13 should be separated into two independent construction contracts. The Lift Station 13
elimination project was designed and constructed in 2008.
Lift Station 2 is located adjacent to Shell Creek near Melody Lane and is inaccessible to
maintenance vehicles. The current station has been in operation for over 40 years and has
exceeded its expected useful life since replacement parts are difficult, if not impossible, to obtain.
The City wants to relocate the station away from the creek to improve maintenance access to the
station and reduce the risk of a sewer overflow entering Shell Creek.
Design and construction of Lift Station No. 2 has been delayed due to negotiations with the
property owner on the location of the new station. These issues have been resolved and a location
for the lift station has been mutually agreed upon. The design phase is underway and additional
Packet Page 129 of 385
services are required to complete the environmental review and permitting, bid documents and
bidding assistance, along with construction services. The additional fee for these services is
$226,830 and a detailed scope and budget are shown in the attached Addendum No. 4.
Construction is anticipated to begin in the summer of 2010. The costs related to this project are
being funded by the 412 Utility Fund.

Odor Control Improvement Project Bid Opening
Edmonds City Council Meeting
Date:10/06/2009
Submitted By:Steve Koho Time:Consent
Department:Wastewater Treatment Plant Type:Action
Review Committee:
Committee Action:
Information
Subject Title
Report on bids opened on September 14, 2009 for the Odor Control Improvement Project and
award to Prospect Construction, Inc., for the amount of $1,410,312, including sales tax.
Recommendation from Mayor and Staff
Authorization to award contract for the Odor Control Improvement Project and award to Prospect
Construction, Inc., for the amount of $1,410,312, including sales tax.
In addition, appropriate up to $833,589 from the 2009 ending cash of the sewer portion of the
Fund 411 Combined Utility Fund and transfer this amount to Fund 414 Treatment Plant Capital
Reserve.
Previous Council Action
City Council approved the current CIP plan, which included the Odor Control Improvement
Project.
City Council approved the 2009-2010 budget, which included the Odor Control Improvement
Project.
Staff met with the Community/Development Services Committee and the Finance Committee on
August 12, 2008 to discuss need for the project.
On August 18, 2008, the City Council authorized staff to advertise for qualifications for the design
of the Odor Control Improvement Project.
On January 20, 2009, City Council authorized an agreement with Brown & Caldwell to design the
Odor Control Improvement Project.
Narrative
An evaluation of the Odor Control System at the City's Wastewater Treatment Plant was
performed by a consulting engineer in 2007, which provided a report summarizing their
recommendations for reducing odor emissions from the plant.
A detailed construction design by the City's consultant Brown and Caldwell was performed in
2009 based upon the evaluation and input from staff. Once design was complete, staff advertised
the project for construction, although the City policy of obtaining City Council authorization
Packet Page 138 of 385
before advertising was inadvertantly omitted. Staff checked with the City's legal adviser who
confirmed that the advertising process was legal, although irregular to standard practice.
The lowest responsive bid was from Prospect Construction, Inc, in the amount of $1,410,312. The
bid was within approximately 8% of the engineer's estimate of $1.3 million. The contractor's
references are positive and staff recommends awarding the contract to Prospect Construction,
Inc.
Project Funding
This project will be funded in accordance with an Agreement with other participating agencies that
share capacity in the plant. This agreement specifies that Edmonds share of capital projects is
limited to approximately 51%. Edmonds share of capital projects for the Treatment Plant is paid
from the sewer utility fund. There are adequate funds to pay for this project due to the recent
retirement of construction bonds from the Treatment Plant construction in 1988.
The 2009 budget shows bond proceeds of $800,000 for this project. Since there is sufficient
ending cash of $3.4 million in the sewer component of the Fund 411 Combined Utility, the
Finance Director chose to use ending cash rather than issuing debt to pay for Edmonds share of
the project expenses. Now that debt financing is not being used, Council needs to appropriate the
fund transfer between utility funds
The estimate for the project was $736,000 in early 2008 when the budget was developed. Since
that time, the design was completed and the scope increased in order to provide odorous air
containment and treatment for all tanks during summer months when odor issues are the strongest.
Increasing the scope of the project caused the cost for the project to increase also. The total project
cost, including a 10% contingency, is $1,641,343, of which Edmonds share is $833,589. The
project cost is based on the following:
Contractor $1,410,312
Contingency @10% $141,031
Construction Management $90,000
TOTAL $1,641,343
The net cost to Edmonds for the project is projected to be $833,589.
The source of the funds is ending cash from the sewer utility fund. It is expected that only about
10% of the funds will be spent in 2009, with the balance being spent in 2010.

THE EDMONDS REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES AND FORWARD IT TO THE CITY COUNCIL WITH A
RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL. COMMISSIONER ANTTILA SECONDED THE MOTION.
Council Member Plunkett said he appreciates the spirit in which Mr. Stoulil brought his property forward for inclusion on the
Register. He suggested this would help build the inventory, making the designation more prestigious and sought after. Vice
Chair Vogel added that he is excited to see such a high level of interest come from a private property owner; this shows that
historic preservation is gaining momentum.
THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
PUBLIC HEARING ON APPLICATION TO DETERMINE THE ELIGIBILTY OF THE GREAT NORTHERN
RAILWAY FOREMAN’S HOUSE LOCATED AT 1011 SECOND AVENUE SOUTH FOR PLACEMENT ON THE
EDMONDS REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES. THE SITE IS ZONED SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL (RS-
6) (FILE NUMBER HPC-09-100)
Mr. Lien reviewed the staff report, which describes the significant features of the home. He noted that the house is situated
in a residential neighborhood just south of City Park, and the neighborhood consists of a mix of homes with approximately
half of the homes being constructed during the first half of the twentieth century. He referred to the designation criteria the
Commission must consider when reviewing nominations and noted the application would be consistent with the following:
Criteria 1 – Significantly associated with the history, architecture, archaeology, engineering or cultural heritage of
Edmonds. The house was constructed by the Great Northern Railroad as the Section Foreman’s house for its personnel.
It was originally located on the east side of the tracks near the present day depot on a site just north of Dayton Street.
Criteria 2 – Has integrity. The building largely retains its original appearance; however, there has been a single-story
rear addition that is sheltered by an extension of the back roof slope.
Criteria 3 – Age at least 50 years old, or had exceptional importance if less than 50 years old. The BOLA Report states
the house was constructed in 1917, but the Snohomish County website indicates it was built in 1906. In either instance,
the structure is more than 50 years old.
Category a – Associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of national, state or
local history. The house was originally constructed by the Great Northern Railroad as the Section Foreman’s House.
Speculating that the arrival of the Great Northern Railroad would bring economic boom to the city of Edmonds, the
Minneapolis Realty and Investment Company purchased the site of the City from George Brackett for $36,000.
Although the railroad arrived in 1891, the boom did not materialize and other events drove the Minneapolis Realty and
Investment Company into bankruptcy. George Brackett foreclosed and took back ownership of the town.
Category d – Exemplifies or reflects special elements of the City’s cultural, social, economic, political, aesthetic,
engineering or architectural history. The house was constructed by the Great Northern Railroad as the Section
Foreman’s House.
Category g – Is a building or structure removed from its original location but which is significant primarily for
architectural value, or which is the only surviving structure significantly associated with a historic person or event. The
house was originally located on the east side of the tracks near the present day depot on a site just north of Dayton
Street. In 1958 it was moved to a site on Dayton Street where it served as a single-family residence. The house was
saved when the Dayton Street site was developed because of its historic significance and moved to its current location in
1978.
Mr. Lien recommended the Commission find that the nomination meets the criteria for designation in the Edmonds Register
of Historic Places. The exterior of the structure contains the significant architectural features. He recommended the property
be listed as proposed.
Commissioner Bauer inquired if the existing siding is original, and the applicant, Donald Nicholson, answered affirmatively.
Ms. Nicholson added that the house is not as beautiful as many of the other historic homes in Edmonds, but there is a great
history behind it. She said she encouraged her husband to nominate the property to benefit the City of Edmonds.

Vice Chair Vogel suggested that the story behind this structure would be a great subject for the next edition of THE
PRESERVATIONIST.
Commissioner Waite pointed out that the staff report indicates the house is clad in a rustic type V-groove shiplap siding
rather than d\Dutch beveled siding as indicated by the property owner. He agreed to visit the structure and provide an
accurate description of the siding materials. He said it is important that information related to the house is recorded
correctly.
COMMISSIONER BAUER MOVED THE COMMISSION FIND THAT THE EXTERIOR OF THE STRUCTURE
LOCATED AT 1011 – 2ND AVENUE SOUTH (FILE HPC-09-10) MEETS THE CRITERIA FOR DESIGNATION
ON THE EDMONDS REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES AND FORWARD THE NOMINATION TO THE CITY
COUNCIL WITH A RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL. COMMISSIONER WAITE SECONDED THE
MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
COMMITTEE REPORTS
Registration Committee
Commissioner Anttila reported that the Registration Committee unable to meet this past month. They intend to get together
again in early September or late August. She suggested the Registration Committee should meet jointly with the Education
and Outreach Committee to talk about the appropriate approach for meeting with property owners who have not responded to
the Commission’s invitation to add their property to the Register.
Education and Outreach Committee
Vice Chair Vogel reported that Chair Eccleshal has forwarded a draft of the next edition of THE PRESERVATIONIST for the
Commission’s review and approval, and he invited the Commissioners to submit their comments and recommendations. The
International Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF) Building is the featured article. He said he was able to locate a picture of the
IOOF’s float in the 4th of July Parade of 1904, and he would incorporate the picture into the article. He noted that a link to
the Commission’s website and past issues of THE PRESERVATIONIST was added to the latest edition. In addition, the
website was updated.
COMMISSIONER KEREGE MOVED THE COMMISSION AUTHORIZE VICE CHAIR VOGEL TO MOVE
FORWARD WITH PUBLISHING THE SEPTEMBER EDITION OF THE PRESERVATIONIST.
COMMISSIONER BAUER SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
The Commission agreed it would be appropriate to feature the newly nominated Great Northern Railway Section Foreman’s
House in the next edition of THE PRESERVATIONIST.
Preservation Planning Committee
The Preservation Planning Committee did not provide a report.
OTHER REPORTS
Edmonds South Snohomish County Historical Society
There was no report from the Edmonds South Snohomish Historical Society.
NEW BUSINESS
Improving the Visibility of Plaques
The Commission discussed that because the plaques are so small, they are difficult to see from the street when they are
posted on the side of a structure. They discussed possible options for improving their visibility, such as posting them on the
fence or on a free-standing post close to the street. They also discussed ideas for displaying more information about the
historic structures. It was suggested that perhaps it would be appropriate for the Commission to ask for funding from the

Notes on historic register nominations:
Chapter 20.45.020 ECDC* states that if the Commission finds that the nominated property is eligible
for the Edmonds Register of Historic Places, the Commission shall make recommendation to the City
Council that the property be listed in the register with owner’s consent.
According to Chapter 20.45.040 ECDC, listing on the Edmonds Register of Historic Places is an
honorary designation denoting significant association with the historic, archaeological, engineering or
cultural heritage of the community. Properties are listed individually or as contributing properties to a
historic district. No property may be listed without the owner’s permission.
Prior to the commencement of any work on a register property, excluding ordinary repair and
maintenance and emergency measures defined in Section 20.45.000(H), the owner must request and
receive a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Commission for the proposed work. Violation of this
rule shall be grounds for the Commission to review the property for removal from the register.
Prior to whole or partial demolition of a register property, the owner must request and receive a waiver
of a Certificate of Appropriateness.
Because Edmonds is a Certified Local Government (CLG), all properties listed on the Edmonds
Register of Historic Places may be eligible for a special tax valuation on their rehabilitation.

PUBLIC HEARING ON APPLICATION TO DETERMINE THE ELIGIBILITY OF A STRUCTURE LOCATED
AT 533 THIRD AVAENUE SOUTH FOR PLACEMENT ON THE EDMONDS REGISTER OF HISTORIC
PLACES. THE SITE IS ZONED SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL (RS-6) (FILE NUMBER HPC-09-35)
Mr. Lien reviewed the staff report and noted that the property owners have signed the authorization form that would allow
the property to be listed on the Register. He described the significant features of the structure and noted that it is situated in a
residential neighborhood just east of City Park. The neighborhood consists of a mix of homes, the majority being
constructed during the latter half of the twentieth century. He referred to the designation criteria the Commission must
consider when reviewing nominations for the Register and noted the application would be consistent with the following:
Packet Page 178 of 385
DRAFT
Historic Preservation Commission Minutes
August 13, 2009 Page 2
Criteria 1 – Significantly associated with the history, architecture, archaeology, engineering or cultural heritage of
Edmonds. The house is associated with the residential growth of Edmonds and is a good example of the Craftsman
bungalow residential design.
Criteria 2 – Has integrity. The building retains its original appearance.
Criteria 3 – Age at least 50 years old, or had exceptional importance if less than 50 years old. The house was
constructed in 1921.
Category b – Embodies the distinctive architectural characteristics of a type, period, style or method of design or
construction, or represents a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction.
The house is a good example of the Craftsman bungalow residential design, which was a popular residential design of
the time.
Mr. Lien recommended the Commission find the nomination meets the criteria for designation in the Edmonds Register of
Historic Places. The exterior of the structure contains the significant architectural features, not including the garage. He
recommended the property be listed as proposed.
Ryan Stoulil, property owner, explained that while he and his wife are interested in having the property listed on the
Register, they are planning an addition and are interested in learning more about how the designation might impact their
future plans. He said it is his understanding that if the property is listed on the Register, the addition would require
Commission approval. He requested more information about what this process would involve. He also questioned if it
would be possible to remove the house from the Register at some point in the future if he was unable to obtain Commission
approval to move forward with the planned addition. He said he would likely opt out of the tax incentive, since they would
be taxed retroactively if they were to remove the house from the Register.
The Commissioners clarified that the property owner would not be required to apply for the tax incentive, and he would
retain the ability to remove his house from the Register at any point in the future. The Commission and staff reviewed the
process for obtaining a certificate of appropriateness. It was emphasized that if his property were listed on the Register, the
Commission would be eager to assist him with his plans to add on.
Commissioner Bauer pointed out that the City is a newly formed Certified Local Government (CLG), and no one on the
Register has asked for a certificate of appropriateness. She asked what kind of drawings would be required for the
Commission’s review. Mr. Lien explained that the Commission would review the drawings that are submitted as part of the
building permit, which would include views from all four elevations. The Commission agreed it would be appropriate to
conduct pre-application meetings with property owners to review rough sketches of the proposal and provide a preliminary
recommendation, but the actual certificate of appropriateness could not be issued until formal drawings have been submitted
to the Commission for review.
Commissioner Waite inquired if the detached garage would be part of the designation. Mr. Lien answered that it was not
included in the application or the evaluation. Mr. Stoulil said he would not be opposed to including the garage since they
don’t have any plans to alter it at this time. Mr. Lien advised that the BOLA report only identified the significant features on
the house.
Mr. Lien cautioned that the Commission should not forward the application to the City Council unless they are sure the
owner wants to be on the Register. Commissioner Bauer observed that the ordinance does not have a placeholder in the
process flow for someone who is undecided. Mr. Stoulil emphasized that it would be an honor to have his house listed on
the Register. However, if he is unable to obtain a certificate of appropriateness to move forward with his planned addition or
if his ability to obtain financing became impeded as a result of being on the Register, he may decide to withdraw the
property. He is ready to place his property on the Register with the understanding that he can opt out at any time.
Commissioner Waite inquired if the southern porch was added after the house was built. Mr. Stoulil answered that it is the
original porch, but he enclosed it to form a mud room rather than an open porch. The footprint was not changed.
COMMISSIONER WAITE MOVED THE COMMISSION FIND THAT THE EXTERIOR OF THE STRUCTURE
LOCATED AT 533 – 3RD AVENUE SOUTH (FILE HPC-09-35) MEETS THE CRITERIA FOR DESIGNATION ON

THE EDMONDS REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES AND FORWARD IT TO THE CITY COUNCIL WITH A
RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL. COMMISSIONER ANTTILA SECONDED THE MOTION.
Council Member Plunkett said he appreciates the spirit in which Mr. Stoulil brought his property forward for inclusion on the
Register. He suggested this would help build the inventory, making the designation more prestigious and sought after. Vice
Chair Vogel added that he is excited to see such a high level of interest come from a private property owner; this shows that
historic preservation is gaining momentum.
THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
PUBLIC HEARING ON APPLICATION TO DETERMINE THE ELIGIBILTY OF THE GREAT NORTHERN
RAILWAY FOREMAN’S HOUSE LOCATED AT 1011 SECOND AVENUE SOUTH FOR PLACEMENT ON THE
EDMONDS REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES. THE SITE IS ZONED SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL (RS-
6) (FILE NUMBER HPC-09-100)
Mr. Lien reviewed the staff report, which describes the significant features of the home. He noted that the house is situated
in a residential neighborhood just south of City Park, and the neighborhood consists of a mix of homes with approximately
half of the homes being constructed during the first half of the twentieth century. He referred to the designation criteria the
Commission must consider when reviewing nominations and noted the application would be consistent with the following:
Criteria 1 – Significantly associated with the history, architecture, archaeology, engineering or cultural heritage of
Edmonds. The house was constructed by the Great Northern Railroad as the Section Foreman’s house for its personnel.
It was originally located on the east side of the tracks near the present day depot on a site just north of Dayton Street.
Criteria 2 – Has integrity. The building largely retains its original appearance; however, there has been a single-story
rear addition that is sheltered by an extension of the back roof slope.
Criteria 3 – Age at least 50 years old, or had exceptional importance if less than 50 years old. The BOLA Report states
the house was constructed in 1917, but the Snohomish County website indicates it was built in 1906. In either instance,
the structure is more than 50 years old.
Category a – Associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of national, state or
local history. The house was originally constructed by the Great Northern Railroad as the Section Foreman’s House.
Speculating that the arrival of the Great Northern Railroad would bring economic boom to the city of Edmonds, the
Minneapolis Realty and Investment Company purchased the site of the City from George Brackett for $36,000.
Although the railroad arrived in 1891, the boom did not materialize and other events drove the Minneapolis Realty and
Investment Company into bankruptcy. George Brackett foreclosed and took back ownership of the town.
Category d – Exemplifies or reflects special elements of the City’s cultural, social, economic, political, aesthetic,
engineering or architectural history. The house was constructed by the Great Northern Railroad as the Section
Foreman’s House.
Category g – Is a building or structure removed from its original location but which is significant primarily for
architectural value, or which is the only surviving structure significantly associated with a historic person or event. The
house was originally located on the east side of the tracks near the present day depot on a site just north of Dayton
Street. In 1958 it was moved to a site on Dayton Street where it served as a single-family residence. The house was
saved when the Dayton Street site was developed because of its historic significance and moved to its current location in
1978.
Mr. Lien recommended the Commission find that the nomination meets the criteria for designation in the Edmonds Register
of Historic Places. The exterior of the structure contains the significant architectural features. He recommended the property
be listed as proposed.
Commissioner Bauer inquired if the existing siding is original, and the applicant, Donald Nicholson, answered affirmatively.
Ms. Nicholson added that the house is not as beautiful as many of the other historic homes in Edmonds, but there is a great
history behind it. She said she encouraged her husband to nominate the property to benefit the City of Edmonds.

Notes on historic register nominations:
Chapter 20.45.020 ECDC* states that if the Commission finds that the nominated property is eligible
for the Edmonds Register of Historic Places, the Commission shall make recommendation to the City
Council that the property be listed in the register with owner’s consent.
According to Chapter 20.45.040 ECDC, listing on the Edmonds Register of Historic Places is an
honorary designation denoting significant association with the historic, archaeological, engineering or
cultural heritage of the community. Properties are listed individually or as contributing properties to a
historic district. No property may be listed without the owner’s permission.
Prior to the commencement of any work on a register property, excluding ordinary repair and
maintenance and emergency measures defined in Section 20.45.000(H), the owner must request and
receive a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Commission for the proposed work. Violation of this
rule shall be grounds for the Commission to review the property for removal from the register.
Prior to whole or partial demolition of a register property, the owner must request and receive a waiver
of a Certificate of Appropriateness.
Because Edmonds is a Certified Local Government (CLG), all properties listed on the Edmonds
Register of Historic Places may be eligible for a special tax valuation on their rehabilitation.

Pancreatic Cancer Proclamation

Date:10/06/2009
Submitted By:Linda Carl

Department:Mayor's Office Type:Information
Review Committee:
Committee Action:
Information
Subject Title
Proclamation in honor of Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month, November 2009.
Recommendation from Mayor and Staff
Previous Council Action
Narrative
More than 36,000 Americans will die of pancreatic cancer in 2009, 710 of whom live in
Washington State. Pancreatic cancer will afflict more than 37,000 Americans this year, 75% of
whom will die within one year of their diagnosis, and 95% of whom will die within five years.
With no early detection methods and no cure available at this time, the number of people being
diagnosed and lost to pancreatic cancer is rapidly rising. Unfortunately, there have been no
significant improvements in early detection, treatment methods, or survival rates in the last 30
years. The Federal Government invests less money in pancreatic cancer research than it does in
any of the other leading cancer killers (see attached chart).
The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network is the first and only national patient advocacy organization
that serves the pancreatic cancer community in Edmonds and nationwide by focusing its efforts on
public policy, research funding, patient services, and public awareness and education related to

Research into Pancreatic Cancer, the 4th Leading Cancer Killer, continues
to be the Least-Funded Among the Top 5 Cancer Killers
Current federal funding levels for pancreatic cancer have rendered scientific progress for this disease fatally slow. Pancreatic cancer
research is no more advanced than breast cancer research was in the 1930s – we have little understanding of the disease’s causes, no
early detection methods, few effective treatments and dismal survival rates.
Low Funding Precludes Scientific Progress
95% of pancreatic cancer patients die within 5 year of their diagnosis – a percentage that has remained largely unchanged for the last
30 years.

Dear Mayor Gary Haakenson,
As your constituent, I am writing on behalf of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network and the
more than 36,000 Americans who will die of pancreatic cancer in 2009, 710 of whom live in
Washington State. Pancreatic cancer will afflict more than 37,000 Americans this year, 75% of
whom will die within one year of their diagnosis, and 95% of whom will die within five years.
With no early detection methods or cure available at this time, the number of people being
diagnosed and lost to pancreatic cancer is rapidly rising. My personal story attests to this. In
just the last five short years, I have lost my dearly beloved husband, Buck, three additional
family members (no familiar genetic link), several friends and, currently have numerous friends
fighting for quality & quantity of life as pancreatic cancer Survivors.
Not only is pancreatic cancer the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the United
States, it is the deadliest, with the lowest survival rate of any major cancer. Further, there has
been little improvement in the survival rates over the last thirty years. We need your help to
shine a spotlight on this disease and finally make progress in developing treatments and early
detection tools. By issuing a Snohomish County proclamation supporting the observance of
November as Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month, you can help us to raise awareness in our
community.
I have attached a draft of the proclamation text for your review. I am happy to provide additional
official Pancreatic Cancer Action Network material, including pancreatic cancer facts and
statistics and National Cancer Institute (NCI) funding information, upon request.
Please contact me at 360-981-3409, or my email address at joanmabbutt@comcast.net with any
questions. I look forward to working with you to issue a proclamation that will recognize
November as Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month and bring much needed attention to this
deadly disease. If you willing to sponsor this proclamation, please send 3 copies to my address
below. If possible, we would like to have your signed proclamation no later than October 15,
2009 so that we may feature it at our first Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Walk on November 1,
2009.
Thank you for your interest in this important issue.

Fiscal Impact Statement
Fiscal Impact through Calendar Year 2015
Initiative 1033 limits annual growth of state, city and county general fund revenue to the rate
of inflation and population growth. General fund revenues exceeding this limit must be used to
reduce the following year’s state, city or county general fund property tax levy. The initiative
reduces state general fund revenues that support education; social, health and environmental
services; and general government activities by an estimated $5.9 billion by 2015. The initiative
also reduces general fund revenues that support public safety, infrastructure and general
government activities by an estimated $694 million for counties and $2.1 billion for cities by
2015.
General Assumptions
The initiative is set on a calendar year (CY) basis. CY 2010 revenue limit is calculated as
follows: CY 2009 General Fund Revenue × (1 + 2009 % Change Population) × (1 + 2009 %
Change Inflation)
CY 2010 general fund revenues that exceed the CY 2010 revenue limit will be transferred into
new “Lower Property Tax Accounts” for the state, counties and cities. The first transfer(s) into
the new accounts will occur in CY 2011.
The first property tax levy to be reduced by the initiative is the 2011 levy, which is collected in
CY 2012. Thus, funds will be transferred from the new “Lower Property Tax Accounts” into
state, county and city general funds in CY 2012 to account for any reduction in 2011 levies.
State Revenue Estimate - Assumptions
The initiative defines state general fund revenue as the aggregate of revenue from taxes, fees
and other governmental charges received by state government that are deposited into any
fund subject to the state’s expenditure limit under RCW 43.135.025. For CY 2009 and CY
2010, state general fund revenues are General Fund – State revenue estimates from the June
2009 Washington State Economic and Revenue Forecast Council converted from a fiscal-
year basis to a calendar-year basis.
The following state revenue sources, totaling less than $30 million annually, have been
excluded from these estimates:
Sales and income from property.
Contributions and grants.
Grant and loan repayments.
Indirect and prior cost recoveries.
Unclaimed property.
Charges for publications and documents.
Interest and investment earnings.
State general fund revenues for CYs 2011–15 are estimated to grow, on average, by the
Ballot Title Full Text
Packet Page 211 of 385
change in real per capita personal income plus change in inflation plus change in population,
adjusted for revenue elasticity. This methodology is consistent with prior long-term revenue
forecasts produced by the Office of Financial Management (OFM), and results in an average
annual growth rate of 4.8 percent.
State general fund revenues are reduced by the amount required to be transferred into the
Budget Stabilization Account created under Article 7, Section 12, of the Washington State
Constitution.
The initiative defines inflation as the annual percentage change in the Implicit Price Deflator
for Personal Consumption for the United States as published on or about March 27 each
calendar year by the Bureau of Economic Analysis and reported by OFM. Inflation estimates
for CY 2009 and CY 2011 are from the June 2009 Washington State Economic and Revenue
Forecast. Inflation estimates for CYs 2012–15 are from the June 2009 IHS Global Insight
forecast of the Implicit Price Deflator for the United States. The Washington State Economic
and Revenue Forecast Council relies on IHS Global Insight models and data for the U.S.
portion of the official state economic forecast.
The initiative defines population growth as the percentage change in the statewide population
based on the annual statewide population determinations reported by OFM during the prior
calendar year and the current calendar year. Statewide population growth estimates are from
OFM’s 30-Year Forecast of the State Population.
Estimated STATE Cash Receipts:
State Costs to Implement - Assumptions
Less than $50,000 will be incurred by OFM in CY 2009 and CY 2010 to set up, test and verify
computer systems, and establish policies and practices to implement a state general fund
revenue limit
County and City Revenue Estimate - Assumptions
The initiative applies to counties, first class cities, second class cities, code cities, towns and
unclassified cities.
To account for possible different patterns in population and revenue growth, counties and
cities were analyzed using four groupings:
1. Urban County – 7 counties
2. Rural County – 32 counties
3. Cities in Urban Counties – 109 cities and towns
4. Cities in Rural Counties – 172 cities and towns
Urban counties are Clark, King, Kitsap, Pierce, Snohomish, Spokane and Thurston; all others
are rural counties. Under RCW 82.14.370, rural counties are defined as a county with a
population density of less than 100 persons per square mile or a county smaller than 225
square miles as determined and published each year by OFM for the period July 1 to June 30.
County and city general fund revenues are defined as the aggregate of revenue from taxes,
fees and other governmental changes received by the county or city and deposited into the
county current expense fund or city general fund, respectively. County and city revenues are
estimated from 2007 financial information contained in the Local Government Financial
Reporting System (LGFRS) of the Washington State Auditor’s Office. Only funds reported
within LGFRS as general fund revenues are assumed to be deposited into the county current
expense fund or city general fund, and therefore, are included in these estimates.
The following county and city revenue sources have been excluded from these estimates:
Federal and state direct and indirect grants.
State shared taxes or revenues.
Charges for contracted services performed by counties or cities.
Charges for enterprise activities or charges that are not governmental in nature.
Inter-fund and inter-department charges.
Interest and investment earnings.

County and city general fund revenue growth rates for CYs 2009–15 are related to the state’s
revenue growth rate by estimating each grouping’s five-year historical rate of revenue growth
in proportion to the state’s revenue growth rate of 4.8 percent.
Inflation estimates for counties and cities are the same as used for the state.
Population growth is defined as the percentage change in the countywide population for
counties and the percentage change in citywide population in cities, as reported annually by
OFM. County and city population growth is estimated from OFM’s 30-Year Forecast of the
State Population, adjusted using OFM’s Washington State County Growth Management

CY 2010 to modify computer systems, establish policies and practices, train employees and
respond to requests for public information. Costs will vary by jurisdiction and depend, in large
part, on the jurisdiction’s ability to modify accounting systems to identify and track revenues
subject to the general fund revenue limit.
Explanatory Statement
The Law as it Presently Exists
State and local governments receive revenue through taxes and fees. Some of the rates for
these taxes and fees are set by elected representatives in the state Legislature, or in the case
of certain local taxes, by local city councils, county councils, or boards of county
commissioners. Local taxes may be imposed only if they are authorized by state law. The
rates for taxes paid to the State of Washington are set in statute by the Legislature. The
voters may also enact laws regarding taxes by initiative or, if applicable, by referendum. Some
local taxes can only be imposed if the local voters approve them. State law also permits the
assessment of certain fees by state or local agencies, as authorized by the Legislature.
The State deposits much of the revenue that it receives from taxes and fees into the state
general fund and into accounts referred to by the law as “related funds.” Cities and counties
place much of the revenue that they receive from taxes and fees into local “current expense
funds.” These funds are similar in nature to the State’s general fund. State law limits spending
from the State general fund and “related funds” to the prior year’s expenditures from those
funds, increased by the average growth in state personal income for the prior ten years. The
spending limit does not apply to city and county expenditures.
The state constitution and state statutes limit the maximum amount of revenue that state and
local governments may collect from property taxes in a given year, and the amount that
property taxes may be increased each year. The state constitution generally limits the total of
all annual property tax levies on a particular property to no more than 1% of its true and fair
value, unless voters approve higher property taxes. In addition, by statute, the total amount of
money that any state or local jurisdiction receives from property taxes may only increase by
1% per year, or the rate of inflation. Total property tax revenue for each jurisdiction can only
go up by more than this amount if the voters of that jurisdiction approve the increase by a
majority vote. Property taxes for particular parcels may increase or decrease by more or less
than that amount, depending on changes in assessed valuation or new construction. Property
taxes are levied by both state and local governments. Local property taxes are levied by
cities, counties, and special districts, either by the elected representatives or through voter
approval of specific property tax levies.
The Effect of the Proposed Measure if Approved
This measure would limit the growth of revenue to the State’s general fund and “related
funds,” and to cities’ and counties’ local “current expense funds,” based on an annual rate of
inflation and population growth. If the State or any city or county receives revenue in a given
year above the revenue limit established by the measure, then it must deposit the revenues
above the limit into a separate account, and reduce the amount that it otherwise would be
authorized to levy in property taxes in the following year by that amount.
The limit on revenue growth would not apply to revenue increases approved by the voters at
an election, and money received from the federal government would not be included in the
State’s revenue limit. The inflation rate used to calculate the revenue growth limit would be
based on the implicit price deflator for the United States. The limit on state general fund
revenue also would be based on changes in statewide population, while for cities and
counties it would be based on changes in population for each city and county. The revenue
limit would be adjusted if the costs of any program or service are shifted to or from the state
general fund or local current expense fund to another fund, or if revenue is transferred from
the state general fund or local current expense fund to another fund.

I-1033 gives control to citizens – if
government wants bigger increases, they
can ask taxpayers’ permission.
Vote Yes.
Initiative 1033 will hurt, not help,
Washington’s senior citizens. That’s why
AARP Washington and the Washington
State Senior Citizens Lobby oppose I-1033.
And Initiative 1033 will hurt, not help, working
families. That’s why the Greater Seattle
Chamber of Commerce, Washington State
Labor Council, Washington Association of
Churches, and many others oppose I-1033.
As we try to recover from the worst recession
in decades, Washington just can’t afford
another Tim Eyman initiative. Vote NO on
1033.

City of Edmonds
I-1033
Fiscal Impact through Calendar Year 2015
Initiative 1033 limits annual growth of state, city and county general fund
revenue to the rate of inflation and population growth. General Fund revenues
exceeding this limit must be used to reduce the following year’s state, city or
county General Fund property tax levy. The initiative reduces the City of
Edmonds’ General Fund (Property Tax line) revenues that support general
government activities by an estimated $2.046 million by 2015.

Reduction in
GF Revenues
CY 2010 -$
CY 2011 530,817
CY 2012 531,527
CY 2013 361,957
CY 2014 320,467
CY 2015 300,885
2,045,653$ General Assumptions
The initiative is set on a calendar year (CY) basis.
CY 2010 revenue limit is calculated as follows: CY 2009 General Fund Revenue ×
(1 + 2009 % Change Population) × (1 + 2009 % Change Inflation)
CY 2010 general fund revenues that exceed the CY 2010 revenue limit will be
transferred into new “Lower Property Tax Accounts” for the state, counties and
cities. The first transfer(s) into the new accounts will occur in CY 2011.
The first property tax levy to be reduced by the initiative is the 2011 levy, which is
collected in CY 2012. Thus, funds will be transferred from the new “Lower
Property Tax Accounts” into state, county and city general funds in CY 2012 to
account for any reduction in 2011 levies.
The Initiative allows for the removal of certain fund sources from the General Fund
calculation. Given the short time frame to produce this analysis we included all GF
revenues. We believe inclusion of these reductions will have only a minimal
impact on the figures presented above.

STATE OF WASHINGTON
OFFICE OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
Insurance Building, P.O. Box 43113 Olympia, Washington 98504- 3113 ·(360) 902- 0555

Fiscal Impact Statement for Initiative 1033
As sent to the Office of the Secretary of State, August 10, 2009
Fiscal Impact through Calendar Year 2015
Initiative 1033 limits annual growth of state, city and county general fund revenue to the rate of
inflation and population growth. General fund revenues exceeding this limit must be used to reduce
the following year’s state, city or county general fund property tax levy. The initiative reduces state
general fund revenues that support education; social, health and environmental services; and general
government activities by an estimated $5.9 billion by 2015. The initiative also reduces general fund
revenues that support public safety, infrastructure and general government activities by an estimated
$694 million for counties and $2.1 billion for cities by 2015.
General Assumptions
•The initiative is set on a calendar year (CY) basis.
•CY 2010 revenue limit is calculated as follows:
CY 2009 General Fund Revenue × (1 + 2009 % Change Population) × (1 + 2009 % Change Inflation)
•CY 2010 general fund revenues that exceed the CY 2010 revenue limit will be transferred into
new “Lower Property Tax Accounts” for the state, counties and cities. The first transfer(s) into
the new accounts will occur in CY 2011.
•The first property tax levy to be reduced by the initiative is the 2011 levy, which is collected in
CY 2012. Thus, funds will be transferred from the new “Lower Property Tax Accounts” into
state, county and city general funds in CY 2012 to account for any reduction in 2011 levies.
State Revenue Estimate – Assumptions
•The initiative defines state general fund revenue as the aggregate of revenue from taxes, fees and
other governmental charges received by state government that are deposited into any fund
subject to the state’s expenditure limit under RCW 43.135.025. For CY 2009 and CY 2010, state
general fund revenues are General Fund – State revenue estimates from the June 2009
Washington State Economic and Revenue Forecast Council converted from a fiscal-year basis to
a calendar-year basis.

•The following state revenue sources, totaling less than $30 million annually, have been excluded
from these estimates:
o Sales and income from property.
o Contributions and grants.
o Grant and loan repayments.
o Indirect and prior cost recoveries.
o Unclaimed property.
o Charges for publications and documents.
o Interest and investment earnings.
•State general fund revenues for CYs 2011–15 are estimated to grow, on average, by the change
in real per capita personal income plus change in inflation plus change in population, adjusted
for revenue elasticity. This methodology is consistent with prior long-term revenue forecasts
produced by the Office of Financial Management (OFM), and results in an average annual
growth rate of 4.8 percent.
•State general fund revenues are reduced by the amount required to be transferred into the
Budget Stabilization Account created under Article 7, Section 12, of the Washington State
Constitution.
•The initiative defines inflation as the annual percentage change in the Implicit Price Deflator for
Personal Consumption for the United States as published on or about March 27 each calendar
year by the Bureau of Economic Analysis and reported by OFM. Inflation estimates for CY
2009 and CY 2011 are from the June 2009 Washington State Economic and Revenue Forecast.
Inflation estimates for CYs 2012–15 are from the June 2009 IHS Global Insight forecast of the
Implicit Price Deflator for the United States. The Washington State Economic and Revenue
Forecast Council relies on IHS Global Insight models and data for the U.S. portion of the
official state economic forecast.
•The initiative defines population growth as the percentage change in the statewide population
based on the annual statewide population determinations reported by OFM during the prior
calendar year and the current calendar year. Statewide population growth estimates are from
OFM’s 30-Year Forecast of the State Population.

State Costs to Implement – Assumptions
Less than $50,000 will be incurred by OFM in CY 2009 and CY 2010 to set up, test and verify
computer systems, and establish policies and practices to implement a state general fund revenue
limit.
County and City Revenue Estimate – Assumptions
•The initiative applies to counties, first class cities, second class cities, code cities, towns and
unclassified cities.
Packet Page 221 of 385

•To account for possible different patterns in population and revenue growth, counties and cities
were analyzed using four groupings:
1. Urban County – 7 counties
2. Rural County – 32 counties
3. Cities in Urban Counties – 109 cities and towns
4. Cities in Rural Counties – 172 cities and towns
Urban counties are Clark, King, Kitsap, Pierce, Snohomish, Spokane and Thurston; all others
are rural counties. Under RCW 82.14.370, rural counties are defined as a county with a
population density of less than 100 persons per square mile or a county smaller than 225 square
miles as determined and published each year by OFM for the period July 1 to June 30.
County and city general fund revenues are defined as the aggregate of revenue from taxes, fees
and other governmental charges received by the county or city and deposited into the county
current expense fund or city general fund, respectively. County and city revenues are estimated
from 2007 financial information contained in the Local Government Financial Reporting System
(LGFRS) of the Washington State Auditor’s Office. Only funds reported within LGFRS as
general fund revenues are assumed to be deposited into the county current expense fund or city
general fund, and therefore, are included in these estimates.
•The following county and city revenue sources have been excluded from these estimates:
o Federal and state direct and indirect grants.
o State shared taxes or revenues.
o Charges for contracted services performed by counties or cities.
o Charges for enterprise activities or charges that are not governmental in nature.
o Inter-fund and inter-department charges.
o Interest and investment earnings.
•County and city general fund revenue growth rates for CYs 2009–15 are related to the state’s
revenue growth rate by estimating each grouping’s five-year historical rate of revenue growth in
proportion to the state’s revenue growth rate of 4.8 percent.
•Inflation estimates for counties and cities are the same as used for the state.
•Population growth is defined as the percentage change in the countywide population for
counties and the percentage change in citywide population in cities, as reported annually by
OFM. County and city population growth is estimated from OFM’s 30-Year Forecast of the
State Population, adjusted using OFM’s Washington State County Growth Management
Population Projections: 2000-2030 and each grouping’s historic population growth rates.

County and City Costs to Implement – Assumptions
County and cities will incur indeterminate costs to implement the initiative during CY 2009 and
CY 2010 to modify computer systems, establish policies and practices, train employees and respond
to requests for public information. Costs will vary by jurisdiction and depend, in large part, on the
jurisdiction’s ability to modify accounting systems to identify and track revenues subject to the
general fund revenue limit.

Creation of a New Mixed Use Zoning Classifiation for Firdale Village
Edmonds City Council Meeting
Date:10/06/2009
Submitted By:Rob Chave Time:30 Minutes
Department:Planning Type:Action
Review Committee:
Committee Action:
Information
Subject Title
Continued 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
Provide direction to staff to prepare an ordinance for Council adoption.
Previous Council Action
A public hearing was held by the City Council on July 21, 2009. A scheduled continuation of the
hearing was postponed from September 1 to October 6, 2009, due to technical difficulties on that
meeting night.
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 standards 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 updated in response to comments at the July
21st public hearing; the current draft of the zoning chapter is contained in Exhibit 1, with the
design standards included in Exhibit 2. Mr. Shapiro will summarize the updates during the
October 6th meeting.

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, (i.e.: 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.

22.100.000 Applicability and Goals
A. Applicability
The design standards in this chapter apply to all development within
the Firdale Village MU zone, including the sub-districts contained within
the larger zone.
The Design Standards use imperative language such as “shall” and “must” to
indicate high priority features and a strong directive toward satisfying the
‘Standards’ intent. Words such as “should” and “may” indicate desirable
conditions or elements that are strongly encouraged.
B . Goals and Intent
The Design Standards will help to shape a neighborhood village form of
development, a place of complementary uses within an aesthetically
attractive, easily accessible and economically healthy environment. The
guidelines and standards will be used to create an attractive, inviting
environment for residential and commercial uses, with an emphasis on the
needs of the pedestrian, including the needs of senior citizens, youths and
physically challenged persons, but that is also accessible for vehicles.
Development shall be located to facilitate transit and non-motorized travel
modes. On-site facilities that are convenient and attractive to pedestrians,
bicyclists and vehicles are encouraged. The development will be designed to
include the following uses, and will also evolve and change over time:
Retail shops and stores, professional offices, restaurants, services, multi-
residential and community related outdoor areas and facilities.
C. Project Vision
1. Scale and Form -- The vision for Firdale Village is the creation of
a vibrant neighborhood village development that demonstrates a balance
between commercial, retail and residential uses and contributes to the
vitality of the neighborhood and area. The project is intended to create an
environment that is accessible and inviting to the pedestrian, visitor, tenant,
motorist and public transit user. The project can also be an important
example of a more sustainable form of development, one that incorporates
sustainable design strategies and methods in many aspects of the project,
from site design, construction to long term water and energy efficiency.
New development shall include pedestrian amenities that bring residents
and customers to the development, including local shopping, services,

offices, specialty retail, restaurants, and other related uses. Outdoor spaces
shall function as social settings for a variety of experiences, while
maintaining a human scale and ability for easy pedestrian circulation.
22.100 .010 Site Design and Planning
A. Intent
1. The project design shall respond to special opportunities and
constraints of the site, including solar orientation, changes in topography,
preservation of existing trees as buffer, and opportunities for low impact
site design.
2. The project design shall take advantage of the southern solar
orientation for multi-family residential orientation and outdoor courtyards
as well as designing adequate usable open space and landscaped areas in both
private residential and commercial sub-districts. The project should also
respond to other local climatic and ecological context by incorporating the
site’s natural systems including significant trees, hydrology and geology into
design solutions.
3. In general, the designer shall consider the site design as a whole
in helping to create an inviting environment for residents, tenants and
visitors. In order to clarify possibilities for sustainable design, goals for
sustainability and green technologies shall be set in the initial stages of
project design.
B. Site Features
1. Pedestrian Orientation.
The project shall include a pedestrian orientation with public amenities,
such as buildings with ground floor orientation to the streetscape and public
spaces, pedestrian walkways, street trees, attractive landscaping, outdoor
areas with seating and other amenities, and places for gathering. Additional
amenities in public spaces such as fountains, sculpture or other forms of art
are highly encouraged. (See Pedestrian Orientation section for more
description).
The use of materials, color, texture, form and massing, proportion, public
amenities, landscaping and vegetation along with mitigation of
environmental impacts, shall be incorporated in the design of the project
with the purpose of supporting a human scale, pedestrian-oriented
development.

2. Tree Retention -- The project site plan shall retain the existing
stand of evergreen trees at the north end of the site, to help serve as a buffer
between the new buildings and the residential parcels bordering the project.
Illustration depicting existing large trees on the site
that act as buffer on north boundary of the site.
C. Open Space – Design Intent:
The project shall include a comprehensive open space network that uses
courtyards and other open space elements to connect the residential and
commercial uses.
1. The design and layout of required plazas, courtyards and other
public gathering spaces shall contribute to the overall sense of place and
help attract pedestrian users to the development.
Large storefront windows,
overhead metal canopy ,
lush landscaping and
attention to detail help to
create a strong pedestrian
orientation.

A.D. Shapiro Architects, PS
The project shall be designed in such a way to allow some views into the
public plazas and open space from Firdale Avenue, to help create an
inviting and welcoming ambiance from outside the development. It is
important to achieve a balance between creating inviting, usable public
spaces and buffering noise and other traffic issues from Firdale Avenue. A
more transparent configuration, that allows views from the street into the
development, will also help create an inviting ambiance and make visible
the pedestrian friendly character of the development
2. Open Space Requirements:
Minimum open space requirement for the development: 20% of total site
area. The minimum open space requirement may include all developed
pedestrian areas including landscaped walkways, existing setback
landscaping, plazas, courtyards and other passive open spaces in the
commercial area. The calculation may also include open space for the
residential uses. The calculation shall not include parking areas, driveways,
or service areas.
3.. Residential Open Space:
Residential Development shall include private open space or outdoor areas
for residents. These areas shall be configured and designed so as to ensure
privacy for residential uses while also providing linkages to the public open
space components of the project. Seating areas shall be provided as an
important part of the usable open spaces, and coordinated with landscaping,
shaded areas, lighting and orientation to focal points.
22.100 .020 Architectural Design
A. Design Intent
To create a unified design concept for the project that reflects the
neighborhood village form of development, while allowing for some
individual expression of each building. The massing, layout and individual
design of each building shall be compatible with the architectural design of
its on site neighboring buildings, yet complement the neighborhood village
character. In general, all aspects of the project, from landscaped open spaces
to project signage should be well-designed and coordinated with the project
as a whole.
1. Scale.
The designers shall consider how the structure and site
development will be viewed from the street and adjacent properties. Scale is
not simply the size of the buildings, it is the proportion of buildings in
relationship to each other, to the street and to the pedestrian environment.
Because of the bowl-like topography, the larger scale buildings will be

A.D. Shapiro Architects, PS
toward the side and rear of the site, with lower scale commercial buildings
toward Firdale Avenue.
2. Form and Style.
The objectives and standards do not set a particular style of
architecture or design theme. The style and site design shall be pedestrian in
scale and address design features such as distinctive building shapes;
incorporation of a number of design elements on building facades, with
particular focus on ground floor, integration of art; interesting textures and
patterns; treatment of public spaces; landscaping; and signage.
Building forms shall not present visual mass or bulk impacts that
are out of proportion to the adjoining structures, or that appear from the
street or sidewalk as having unmodulated visual mass or bulk. Building
additions should complement the original structure in design
Mixed-use development with variation in scale and height. Variety of retail
facades, along with interesting storefronts creates visual interest at the ground
level.
B. Architectural Character
1. Building Siting and Orientation
a. Where feasible, primary commercial buildings shall be
oriented to the street frontage to enliven the street edge as
well as to maximize access from the public sidewalk. Because
not all of the commercial space will be oriented towards
Firdale Avenue, primary entrances may also be oriented to
side streets or towards a rear courtyard as the site design
warrants.
b. All visible building frontages and ground floor commercial
spaces shall be detailed with architectural elements.
(See Building Facades, below).
Deleted: should
Deleted: should
Packet Page 240 of 385

A.D. Shapiro Architects, PS
c. Commercial uses are located towards the front of the site,
with orientation towards Firdale Avenue. Residential uses
are located towards the rear of the site to allow for greater
privacy and buffering from street noise and activity.
2. Building Articulation
a. In order to prevent long stretches of monotonous facades,
buildings over 100 feet in length as measured parallel to a
roadway or public open space shall be vertically articulated
along the façade at regular intervals.
b. Articulation may be accomplished in several ways, including:
Modulation – the stepping back of projection of a portion of
the façade, including significant building elements such as
balconies, porches, canopies, entry areas, etc. that visually
break up the façade. Articulation can also be accomplished
through adding building focal points which include
distinctive entry features, changing the roofline and changing
materials.
Mixed-Use Building with modulation of façade along with emphasis on
development of ground floor retail uses.
3. Building Facades
a. Objectives.
Building facades should be designed with a variety of
architectural elements that suggest the buildings’ use and
provide visual interest to residents and pedestrians. Special
focus shall be given to mass, scale roof forms and landscaping,
with special attention to the ground floor of retail and
commercial buildings.
b. Street-facing and major Façade Elements:
All major mixed-use, commercial and/or retail buildings
within the development shall include decorative light

Frontage:
Refers to the length of property along a public street or right-of-
way.
Landscaping:
An area is considered to be landscaped if it is:
Planted with vegetation in the form of hardy trees, shrubs, or
Grass or evergreen groundcover maintained in good condition;
or occupied by sculpture, fountains, pools, benches, or other
Outdoor furnishings; or Occupied by recreational facilities; or
Paved with decorative pavers, brick combined with any of the
above items.
Modulation:
As used in the Design Guidelines, modulation is a stepping back, or
projecting forward of portions of a building face within specified
intervals of building width and depth, as a means of breaking up the
apparent bulk of a structure’s continuous exterior walls.
Pedestrian-Oriented Façade:
A building façade is considered “pedestrian-oriented” if it features
any of the following characteristics:
A transparent window along at least 75 percent of the ground
floor between the height of two feet and eight feet above the
ground.
Frontage along a pedestrian-oriented space.
Pedestrian-Oriented Space:
An area between a building and a public space that promotes visual
and pedestrian access to the site and provides pedestrian oriented
amenities and landscaping to enhance the public’s use of the space
for passive activities such as sitting, reading, picnicking, etc.
A “pedestrian-oriented” space must have:
Visual and pedestrian access into the site from the public right of
way;
Paved walking surfaces of either concrete or approved unit
paving;
On-site or building-mounted lighting;
Seating comprised of at two feet of seating area (bench, ledge,
etc.), or one individual seat per 60 SF of plaza area or open

Human Scale:
The perceived size of a building relative to a human being. A
building is considered to have “good human scale” if there is an
expression of human activity or use that indicates the building’s size.
For example, traditionally sized doors, windows, and balconies are
elements that respond to the size of the human body, and therefore
are elements in a building that indicate a building’s overall size.
Vertical Articulation:
Visual division of a building’s façade into distinct sections or
elements to reduce the apparent horizontal length of the façade.

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. 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)
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.

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 267 of 385
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 268 of 385
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.

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.

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.

Building Setback Exemption
Edmonds City Council Meeting
Date:10/06/2009
Submitted By:Jen Machuga Time:15 Minutes
Department:Planning Type:Action
Review Committee:
Committee Action:Recommend Review by Full Council
Information
Subject Title
Public hearing on the Planning Board's recommendation to adopt an ordinance adding a
new section to Edmonds Community Development Code 17.40 to establish a qualified
building setback exemption for residential projects with expired County building permits
(File No. AMD20090011).
Recommendation from Mayor and Staff
Approve the draft ordinance recommended by the Planning Board (Exhibit 1).
Previous Council Action
Staff made a presentation to the CS/DS Committee on June 9, 2009. The committee requested that
staff and the City Attorney draft an interim zoning ordinance to bring before the City Council.
Staff presented the interim ordinance to the City Council on June 23, 2009. The Council voted to
forward the ordinance to the Planning Board for review.
Narrative
This is a public hearing on a proposed ordinance amending the Edmonds Community
Development Code to establish a qualified building setback exemption for residential projects with
expired County building permits.
Carla Elder and her husband obtained permits from Snohomish County in 1993 to construct an
addition to their home. Ms. Elder’s husband began the work, but fell ill and passed away before
being able to complete the interior portion of the addition. The property was annexed into the City
of Edmonds in 1995, and the Elders' building permit expired following annexation. Per the
Annexation Agreement, if a County permit expires after annexation, all vesting is lost, and a new
permit must be obtained from the City which meets current adopted codes. The Elders' addition
was built in compliance with the County’s setback requirements; however, it does not meet current
City setback requirements. The County did not notify the City of this situation.
Using Ms. Elder's situation as an example, staff discussed potential options with the CS/DS
Council Committee on June 9, 2009, including a variance, lot line adjustment, removing a portion
of the addition, and adopting an ordinance amending the City’s nonconforming regulations
(ECDC 17.40). City Attorney, Bio Park, noted that the Council could also adopt an interim zoning
ordinance. The Council Committee requested that Mr. Park craft an interim zoning ordinance to
bring before the City Council. The draft interim ordinance was presented to the Council on June
Packet Page 272 of 385
23, 2009. Some Council members felt that a public hearing should be held and that the matter
should not be resolved with an interim ordinance. Rather than adopt an interim code amendment,
the Council voted (4-3) to forward the draft ordinance to the Planning Board to review, conduct a
hearing, and provide a recommendation to the Council.
Staff presented the background behind the draft ordinance to the Planning Board on July 22, 2009
as outlined in staff's narrative to the Board (Exhibit 2). The Board directed staff to prepare draft
language for the permanent ordinance and schedule it for a public hearing and agreed that no
further discussion would be necessary prior to the hearing.
The Planning Board held a public hearing on September 9, 2009 and unanimously voted to
recommend that the Council adopt the ordinance. As recommended by the Planning Board, the
draft ordinance adds a new section (ECDC 17.40.060 - Setback Exemption) to the City's
nonconforming regulations. The ordinance would establish a qualified building setback exemption
for certain residential projects with expired County building permits. The draft ordinance is
provided as Exhibit 1.

MEMORANDUM
To: Planning Board
From: Jen Machuga, Planner
Date: July 14, 2009 (for July 22, 2009 agenda item)
Agenda Item: Discussion to set hearing date and provide recommendation to
Council regarding a proposed Zoning Ordinance establishing a qualified
building setback exemption for residential projects with expired county
building permits, and fixing a time when the same shall become effective.
________________________________________________________________________
Carla Elder, who owns the property addressed 8732 – 242nd St. SW, spoke during the audience
comment portion of the City Council meeting on May 19, 2009 stating her concerns over an
unfinished addition to her residence.
In 1993, while the property was located in unincorporated Snohomish County, the County issued
a permit to the Elders for an approximate 600 square foot second story addition to their home.
Ms. Elder’s husband was a builder and completed all of the exterior construction, but fell ill
before he was able to complete the interior work. The job card provided by Ms. Elder shows that
the only inspection approval obtained from the County was for the foundation in 1993. Following
an extension, the permit eventually expired before the Elders were able to finish the project.
The property was annexed into the City of Edmonds on October 16, 1995. The County’s records
were not transferred over to the City following annexation of the property, so the City was
unaware of an unfinished addition at this address. Mr. Elder passed away in 2006. The City had
no record of the unfinished addition until Ms. Elder recently inquired with the City in November
2008 about obtaining permits to complete the addition.
Per the Annexation Agreement, the County is to complete all permits in process prior to the date
of annexation. If a County permit expires after annexation, all vesting is lost, and a new permit
must be obtained from the City which meets current adopted codes. The Agreement requires the
County to notify the City of expired permits so that we may follow up to insure new permits are
issued. It is unknown how many other properties have been annexed over the years with expired
permits and unfinished work similar to that of Ms. Elder’s.
If a permit issued by the County expired prior to final approval and the property was in the
meantime annexed into the City, the Annexation Agreement requires the owner to obtain permits
for the entire project subject to current City code requirements. In the case of Ms. Elder’s
addition, the addition was started under the 1991 Uniform Building Code, but it is now subject to
Exhibit 2
Packet Page 278 of 385
the 2006 International Residential Codes. Additionally, although the addition was constructed to
meet the County’s site development standards for the R-8,400 zone at the time, which included a
5-foot side setback, the addition is now subject to the current site development standards of the
City's RS-8 zone, which requires a 7.5-foot setback. Based on information provided by Ms. Elder,
the addition was constructed at 7’3” from the property line and includes two bump-outs that are
5’3” from the property line. Therefore, the addition does not comply with current City setback
requirements. It is unknown at this time if the addition is in compliance with all other applicable
site development standards.
There are potential options for resolving situations similar to Ms. Elder’s, however, these options
can be expensive and some are not guaranteed. In the example of Ms. Elder’s addition, potential
options include a variance, lot line adjustment, and modifying the addition so that it meets
setback requirements. A variance is expensive and may not be possible for the addition because
the situation of reduced setbacks and an expired permit was created by the property owner. A lot
line adjustment would be expensive due to the cost of a survey and any property acquisition fees
charged by the neighbor. Additionally, a lot line adjustment is only possible if it does not put the
adjacent property out of compliance with minimum lot size and width requirements as well as the
applicable site development standards. Modifying a structure to comply with site development
standards could be very expensive.
Staff has discussed Ms. Elder’s situation as well as the potential for other property owners within
annexed areas having similar situations with City Attorney, Scott Snyder. He has advised us that
in cases like this, a new permit for the entire project is required if the permit issued by the County
expired. When a new permit is required, it must be shown that the project entirely meets current
code requirements. Mr. Snyder stated that staff does not have the discretion to approve a permit
for a project that was started under a County permit that has since expired unless all current City
site development standards and building code requirements are met.
Outside of the options available to the applicant (already discussed above), the only other
solution would be for the Council craft an ordinance to amend the City’s nonconforming code
(ECDC 17.40) to help address the situation where a County building permit has expired and a
structure does not meet current site development standards -- allowing a new building permit to
be issued by the City maintaining the originally approved County site development standards (i.e.
setbacks, height, lot coverage, etc.). Current building codes must still be met. The difficulties with
this approach are the time period involved since the original approvals were granted by the
County, and the fact that it cannot be known how this type of code change could impact other
non-conforming properties.
Using Ms. Elder’s situation as an example, staff discussed the potential options above with the
Community Services/Development Services Council Committee on June 9, 2009. During the
Council Committee meeting, City Attorney, Bio Park noted that the Council could also adopt an
interim zoning ordinance. The Committee requested that Bio Park and staff craft an interim
zoning ordinance to bring before the City Council.
A draft interim ordinance was crafted and presented to the City Council on June 23, 2009. The
draft ordinance would allow for a residential building setback exemption for development
projects in areas annexed from unincorporated Snohomish County since 1994 for properties that
had valid building permits on the date of annexation but the permits expired prior to final
approval. The draft ordinance includes provisions that the projects would need to be residential

in nature, located in residentially zoned areas, meet the setback requirements of the then current
County code in effect on the date of annexation, consistent with the plans approved by the
County, and compliant with all other applicable criteria in the current ECDC, including the
current Building Code. It should be noted that the draft ordinance includes a provision that it is
the applicant’s responsibility to provide the City with evidence that the project was approved by
the County; however, it is unknown whether the County has retained sufficient records to be
utilized as evidence of the work that was approved by the County prior to annexation.
Following review and discussion of the draft interim ordinance, some Council members felt that a
public hearing should be held and that the matter should not be resolved with an interim
ordinance. The Council voted (4-3) to forward the draft ordinance to the Planning Board to
review it as a standard ordinance, conduct a hearing, and provide a recommendation to the
Council.
Packet Page 280 of 385
Board Member Young expressed his belief that the motion was general enough to meet the administrative requirements. It
basically states that the Board is comfortable with the document and that they recommend the City Council adopt or approve
it at some point in the future after FEMA and the State have reviewed it. Again, Board Member Clarke suggested the motion
should not recommend approval at this point, and Board Member Young expressed his belief that any future changes would
not likely change the material information and/or intent of the plan.
Mr. Chave said the key word to avoid would be “adoption,” but using the word “approval’ would be appropriate since the
City Council has to approve the document in order to send it to the State and FEMA for review. Using the word “approval”
would in no way indicate the City Council would take final action, but just approve the current draft so it can be moved
forward for additional review. In light of Mr. Chave’s explanation, Board Member Clarke withdrew his objection.
Vice Chair Lovell suggested the plan be changed to include some mention of the on-going, long-term concerns related to the
area at the intersection of Dayton Street and SR-104. Ms. Gravelle agreed that would be appropriate, and she invited staff to
provide some recommended language that could be inserted on Page 71 of the draft document as a “flood mitigation action
item.” Perhaps it could also be discussed in the overview section. She emphasized that the City has the ability to update and
change the document at any point, and they do not have to wait until the next five-year update.
THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
PUBLIC HEARING ON AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE EDMONDS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE
(ECDC) TO ESTABLISH A QUALIFIED BUILDING SETBACK EXEMPTION FOR RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS
WITH EXPIRED COUNTY BUILDING PERMITS (FILE NUMBER AMD-09-11)
Ms. Machuga advised that the hearing is on a proposed ordinance amending the ECDC to establish a qualified building
setback exemption for residential projects with expired county building permits. She explained that Carla Elder spoke during
the audience comment portion of the May 19th City Council meeting stating her concer over an unfinished addition to her
residence. In 1993, Ms. Elder and her husband obtained permits from Snohomish County to construct an addition to their
home. Ms. Elder’s husband started the work but fell ill and passed away before being able to complete the interior portion of
the addition. The property was annexed into the City in 1995, and the Elder’s building permit expired following annexation.
Per the annexation agreement, if a County permit expires after annexation, all vesting is lost and a new permit must be
obtained from the City that meets current adopted codes. She explained that the Elder’s addition was built in compliance
with the County’s setback requirements, but it does not meet current City setback requirements. Following the annexation,
the County did not notify the City of the Elder’s expired building permit, and it is unknown how many other properties
within annexed areas are facing similar situations.
Ms. Machuga reported that using Ms. Elder’s situation as an example, staff discussed potential options (variance, lot line
adjustment, removing a portion of the addition, adopting an amendment to the City’s non-conforming regulations) with the
Development Services Council Committee on June 9th. At that time, City Attorney Bio Park noted that the Council could
also adopt an interim zoning ordinance. The committee requested that Mr. Park and staff craft an interim zoning ordinance
to bring before the City Council. When the ordinance was presented to the City Council on June 23rd, some Council
members felt that a public hearing should be held and that the matter should not be resolved by an ordinance. The Council
voted to forward the ordinance to the Planning Board for review.
Ms. Machuga recalled that staff presented the Planning Board with a brief history of the proposed ordinance on July 22nd,
and the Board directed staff to prepare the ordinance as a permanent ordinance instead of an interim ordinance and to set a
date for a public hearing. She referred to the draft ordinance, which would amend the City’s non-conforming provisions and
allow for a residential building setback exemption for development projects in areas annexed from unincorporated
Snohomish County since 1994 for properties that had valid building permits on the date of annexation but the permits
expired prior to final approval. She advised that the ordinance includes provisions that the projects need to be residential in
nature, located in residentially zoned areas, meet the setback requirements of the County code in effect on the date of
annexation, and be consistent with the plans approved by the County and compliant with all other applicable criteria in the
current ECDC, including the current Building Code. She noted that the ordinance includes a provision that it is the
applicant’s responsibility to provide the City with evidence that the project was approved by the County. However, it is

unknown whether the County has retained sufficient records to be utilized as evidence of the work that was approved prior to
annexation.
Vice Chair Lovell observed that residential homes that were built in unincorporated Snohomish County and later annexed to
the City are subject to the non-conforming regulations if they do not meet all of the City’s zoning requirements. He referred
to Section 17.40.060.A of the draft ordinance and summarized that the proposed language would grandfather any annexed
properties for which the permit paperwork was completed prior to annexation even if they do not meet the City’s setback
requirements. Ms. Machuga pointed out that even if the proposed ordinance is not approved, the current code defines non-
conforming structures as structures that met the code at the time they were constructed, but due to annexation they do not
meet the current codes. The code allows these structures to be maintained.
Chair Bowman summarized that when the area was annexed, the records relating to the Elder’s permit were not transferred to
the City. He noted there may be more situations of this type throughout the annexed areas.
Board Member Works pointed out that Section 17.40.060.A specifically references January 1, 1994. She asked if this is the
date the first annexation took place. Mr. Chave advised that the series of annexations started in 1994 and continued into
1995. Board Member Works inquired if the proposed language would be applicable to future annexations, too. Mr. Chave
noted there are not a lot of areas left to annex into the City, but the code language should apply equally to previous annexed
properties and future annexed properties, as long as the situation is the same.
Board Member Clarke expressed concern about situations where records are not transferred as part of a home acquisition and
neither the County nor City has records of the permit, either. As written, the ordinance would not be applicable to properties
unless adequate information can be provided to support the request. He suggested this burden might be too onerous. Ms.
Machuga explained that in the Elder’s case, the County failed to transfer the permit documents to the City, but the County
does have a record that they granted approval for the addition.
Board Member Clarke recalled that because the Old Woodway Elementary School was located in a single-family residential
zone, the Edmonds School District was required to obtain a conditional use permit. When they attempted to do research for a
project after the property was annexed into Edmonds, they learned that the County did not have any record of the conditional
use permit. If the school district had not had their own set of records, there could have been a problem. He suggested the
proposed ordinance needs to provide a method of resolving situations where the records from all parties are gone. When
people purchase properties, they don’t always know about the annexation processes that took place many years ago. They
may not be aware that they cannot finish a particular project because permits have expired, the project does not meet the
City’s current code requirements, and there is no record of the permit that was issued by the County. Vice Chair Lovell
commented that information regarding permits and non-conformance should be identified on the disclosure form that is
required for the house sale.
Chair Bowman questioned how the City would know that a permit existed prior to annexation if there is no paperwork on file
with the County and the property owner does not have any record of the permit. Ms. Machuga said that if the property
owner could not provide documentation that the permit was approved by the County, the City would only have the property
owner’s word that the project was approved. Board Member Works cautioned that the ordinance should not allow a property
owner to merely make an assertion that a building permit was approved prior to annexation. She would like the ordinance to
require validation.
Board Member Clarke suggested the proposed language include a provision that allows the Planning Division Manager to
look at specific cases and make a judgment call. He said he is sensitive to this issue because he lives in an annexed area and
most of his neighbors do not understand that their properties are legal, non-conforming uses.
Board Member Young reminded the Board that the proposed ordinance is not intended to address all properties that are legal,
non-conforming uses. Instead, the intent is to accommodate property owners who had work in progress prior to annexation.
In his view, the City should honor permits that are active at the time of annexation and were applied for in good faith. He
said he supports the proposed language that places the onus on the property owner to provide proof of the County permit.
Typically, property owners keep the paperwork associated with building permits at least until the project has been completed.

The purpose of the proposed ordinance is to recommend policies that could be applied to all annexations that have occurred
to date and those that will occur in the future.
Mr. Chave suggested the word “aforementioned” be deleted so the language is clear that the ordinance applies to all past and
future annexations. Vice Chair Lovell reminded the Board of their goal to create an ordinance that would resolve the issue
forever. The remainder of the Board agreed that the ordinance should be applicable to all annexations both previous and in
the future. Board Member Young observed that if the City wants to encourage annexation, they must honor the active
permits that are issued in good faith by the County as part of their annexation guidelines. Board Member Clarke noted this is
a big concern to those living in Esperance. It is important that the ordinance address future annexations, as well.
Carla Elder, Edmonds, said she is in favor of the proposed ordinance. However, she is not quite clear how her situation
would be impacted by the proposed language in Section 17.40.060.A.4, which states that it is the applicant’s responsibility to
provide the City with evidence that the project was approved by the County. She said she has a copy of the permit that was
issued by the County, as well as copies of the plans that were submitted. However, there is no formal stamp on the
documents. She questioned what standard the City would use to determine the appropriate level of proof. Mr. Chave
explained that staff typically looks for consistency with all of the available information. If everything lines up in a logical
sequence of events, it will be considered sufficient evidence. However, he cautioned that the City staff would not be able to
make arbitrary decisions that are not supported by documentation.
THE PUBLIC PORTION OF THE HEARING WAS CLOSED.
CHAIR BOWMAN MOVED THE BOARD FORWARD FILE AMD-09-11 (AN AMENDMENT TO THE ECDC TO
ESTABLISH A QUALIFIED BUILDING SETBACK EXEMPTION FOR RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS WITH
EXPIRED COUNTY BUILDING PERMITS) TO THE CITY COUNCIL WITH A RECOMMENDATION OF
APPROVAL. VICE CHAIR LOVELL SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
THE BOARD TOOK A BREAK AT 8:25 P.M. THE MEETING RESUMED AT 8:32 P.M.
PUBLIC HEARING ON AN AMENDMENT TO THE EDMONDS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE
(ECDC) CHAPTER 17.35 ALLOWING UP TO THREE “DOMESTIC FEMALE FOWL” ON LOTS IN SINGLE-
FAMILY ZONES (FILE NUMBER AMD-09-7)
Mr. Chave referred to the proposed amendment, which was forwarded to the Board by the City Council for consideration.
As proposed, the amendment would enable properties in single-family zones to keep a limited number (3) of female fowl to
further the Council’s goals of sustainability through encouraging locally-grown and naturally-produced food. He
emphasized that the amendment would be limited in scope, focusing on the keeping of a small number of female fowl that
would logically have little impact on surrounding properties.
Mr. Chave reminded the Board that they have received a fair amount of public comment regarding the proposed amendment,
and they have also received feedback from the Police Department indicating that ECDC 5.05 contains sufficient protection to
support the proposed ordinance. He noted the City Attorney has had some experience with these types of issues, and he has
suggested that it may be desirable to limit the allowed “female fowl” to certain types. He referred them to the letter from the
City Attorney identified in the Staff Report as Attachment 2.
Board Member Works inquired if the current City code would prohibit the slaughter of chickens in single-family zones. Mr.
Chave said he is not familiar with the animal control rules, but the Police Department did not identify a concern.
Karen Newsome, Edmonds, said she has been a property owner and resident of Edmonds for more than 50 years. She
referred to a flyer she prepared for her neighbors to provide more information about the proposed ordinance. She noted that
all of the surrounding cities, including Lynnwood, allow small flocks of chickens (not emus, ostriches, etc.) A flock is more
than one, but it does not have to be 100. Three would be an appropriate number for the City. She recalled that many years
ago Edmonds adopted language in its code that prohibited fowl of any kind in an effort to phase out the large scale chicken

farm situation would receive far more humane treatment and housing space. Commercial hens are confined to a space the size
of a piece of paper, and they do not have access to the outdoors and fresh air. Hens raised in a backyard would be free of
antibiotics and pesticides. There would be less chance of disease outbreaks in small flock that are raised on a single-family
lots as opposed to the inbreeding and poor living conditions that are common in industrial farming. He summarized his belief
that it would be good for the City to allow single-family property owners to keep chickens. He summarized that a lot of
citizens in Edmonds would properly care for hens, and nuisances could be adequately addressed via the City’s existing codes.
George Murray, Edmonds, said he purchases fresh eggs and knows there is quite a difference between fresh eggs and those
that are commercially produced. He expressed support for the proposed ordinance that would allow up to three hens on
single- family properties.
Mr. Murray reported that he attended a question and answer sessions where the Executive Director of the Port of Edmonds
spoke about climate control. It appears that not a lot of attention has been paid to this issue, and the joke of the day was that
the Port would have to consider extending its area all the way back to the ferry terminal in the near future. If this is a potential
consideration, he suggested that the issue of water table should be an important part of the discussion.
Mr. Murray recalled that at the last City Council meeting, the term “cultural direction” came up several times. The same was
true during recent discussions related to the Transportation Plan. He applauded the concept and expressed his desire that
Edmonds should become a hub of cultural activities. He said he recently attended a cultural event in Port Townsend, where
he estimated they made between $500,000 and $750,000. He suggested that Edmonds could sponsor a similar revenue
producing event. He noted they already have the cultural venue and the 4th Avenue Cultural Corridor Plan is progressing, as
well.
BUILDING SETBACK EXEMPTIONS FOR PROJECTS WITH EXPIRED COUNTY BUILDING PERMITS
Ms. Machuga referred the Board to the draft interim ordinance that would amend the City’s nonconforming regulations
(ECDC 17.40) to allow a building setback exemption to residential properties that have been annexed into the City since 1994
where the properties had valid building permits on the date of annexation, but the permits expired prior to final approval. She
explained that, currently, if a permit expires following annexation, all vesting is lost and the project must be altered to meet
current code requirements.
Ms. Machuga announced that the City Council reviewed the draft ordinance as an interim ordinance and voted to forward it to
the Planning Board for review. They have asked the Board to conduct a public hearing and provide a recommendation to the
City Council. She noted that the item is not scheduled for discussion at this time. She asked the Board to provide direction
about whether they would like staff to schedule it as a public hearing, or if they want to schedule the issue for additional
discussion prior to the hearing.
Vice Chair Lovell said that as per Ms. Machuga’s memorandum to the Board dated July 14, 2009, it sounds as though the
Elders did everything appropriate at the time they obtained the necessary permits from the County for the new addition. Ms.
Machuga agreed that prior to annexation, the Elder’s received a valid permit from Snohomish County. However, Mr. Elder
got sick and was not able to finish the project before the County permit expired. Vice Chair Lovell questioned why the City
cannot just issue an occupancy permit if the project is consistent with the code. If upgrades need to be completed to be
consistent with the City’s code, they could be done without requiring an interim ordinance. Mr. Chave explained that the
Elder’s never finished the permit and obtained the necessary final inspections to vest the actual structure. The non-
conforming provisions in the code will not allow the City to administrative waive the permit requirement, and the proposed
interim ordinance would be the least costly option.
Vice Chair Lovell asked why variances are expensive. Mr. Chave said it would cost Ms. Elder approximately $2,000 to
submit a variance application, and there is no certainty that the project would meet all of the criteria for approval.

Board Member Works asked how much of the project has been completed. Ms. Machuga answered that from the outside, the
project looks finished, but there is work remaining on the interior. Right now, the addition is walled off from the main house
and is not accessible from the inside.
Board Member Reed observed that if an interim ordinance is approved, it would only pertain to this one item. Mr. Chave said
the proposed interim ordinance has been constructed to apply to annexed properties where projects were started with permits
that were issued by the County prior to annexation.
Board Member Works inquired if Ms. Elder’s property is the only site the ordinance would apply to. Mr. Chave answered
that staff has no way of knowing how many sites it would apply to, but they do not know of any others at this time. Again, he
explained the ordinance is intended to take care of this situation and any other situations that might come up.
Board Member Stewart observed that Snohomish County was at fault because they failed to notify the City of the expired
permit. It is unfortunate that the County failed to do their duty as per the annexation agreement, but she did not feel the
Elders should bear the complete burden for the mistake.
Board Member Clarke pointed out that the Elders are not the only family that has experienced this type of situation. The
Edmonds School District did not realize that the Woodway Elementary School site had been annexed into the City of
Edmonds, and that they were a legal, non-conforming use with a permit from the County. They did a lot of things that were
illegal without even realizing it. He suggested there are many people in the southern portion of the City who do not have any
idea what really happens with annexation, and they don’t have a clear understanding of their legal rights. The City must help
these people understand the regulations. He expressed his belief that it would be worthwhile to pursue the proposed
ordinance.
The Board discussed that rather than creating an interim ordinance, they would be in favor of creating a permanent ordinance
to address the problem into the future. They directed staff to prepare draft language for the permanent ordinance and
schedule it for a public hearing. They agreed no further discussion would be necessary prior to the public hearing.
PUBLIC HEARING ON APPLICATION BY OASIS, INC. TO REZONE THE PARCEL LOCATED AT 7631 –
212TH STREET SOUTHWEST FROM RESIDENTIAL MULTI-FAMILY (RM-2.4) TO NEIGHBORHOOD
BUSINESS (BN) (FILE NUMBER R-2009-36)
Mr. Clugston advised that the applicant is proposing to change the zoning of property located at 7631 – 212th Street
Southwest from Residential Multi-Family (RM-2.4) to Neighborhood Business (BN). He explained that the subject property
is currently developed with four office buildings that were constructed in the mid 1960s, and the uses were allowed under a
conditional use permit. The three rectangular buildings are currently used for medical offices, and the round building was
previously a real estate office. If the rezone is approved, the applicant intends to use the round building as a pharmacy and
apply for a conditional use permit to locate a drive-through window in the building.
Mr. Clugston reminded the Board that the Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) 20.40.010 identifies six factors
that must be considered when reviewing and approving rezone applications. He reviewed each one as follows:
1. Whether the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject
parcel as “Mixed-Use Commercial” within the Medical/Highway 99 Activity Center. The proposed BN zoning would be
consistent with that designation, while the existing RM-2.4 designation is not. The proposed rezone would bring the
parcel into compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. In addition, upzoning the subject parcel from RM-2.4 to BN would
provide for a mixture of uses, which is a stated goal in the Comprehensive Plan. Impacts should be minimal if the change
in zoning is approved since the existing structures would remain. Any future redevelopment on the site would have to
comply with the height and bulk restrictions of the BN zone, which are very similar to those of the existing RM-2.4 zone.
The existing street system and available amenities would support the intensity of development that is proposed by the
rezone.

3. DISCUSSION AND POTENTIAL ACTION REGARDING A PROPOSED INTERIM ZONING
ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING A QUALIFIED BUILDING SETBACK EXEMPTION FOR
RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS WITH EXPIRED COUNTY BUILDING PERMITS, AND FIXING A
TIME WHEN THE SAME SHALL BECOME EFFECTIVE.
Planner Jen Machuga recalled Carla Elder spoke to the Council during Audience Comments on May 19,
stating her concerns over an unfinished addition to her residence. In 1993 Ms. Elder and her husband
obtained permits from Snohomish County to construct an addition to their home. Mr. Elder began the
work, but fell ill and passed away before completing the interior portion of the addition. The property
was annexed into the City in 1995, and the Elder’s building permit expired following annexation. Per the
Annexation Agreement, if a County permit expires after annexation, all vesting is lost, and a new permit
Exhibit 5
Packet Page 286 of 385

Page 4
must be obtained from the City which meets current adopted codes. The addition was built in compliance
with the County’s setback requirements; however, it does not meet the City’s current setback
requirements. Following annexation, Snohomish County did not notify the City of the Elder’s building
permit and it is unknown if there are additional properties within annexed areas with similar situations.
Using Ms. Elder's situation as an example, staff discussed potential options with the Council Community
Services/Development Services Committee on June 9, including a variance, lot line adjustment, removing
a portion of the addition to comply with current setbacks, and adopting an ordinance amending the City’s
nonconforming regulations (ECDC 17.40). City Attorney Bio Park advised that the Council could also
adopt an interim zoning ordinance. The Council Committee requested that Mr. Park craft an interim
zoning ordinance to bring before the City Council.
The interim ordinance would allow for residential building setback exemptions for development projects
in areas annexed from unincorporated Snohomish County since 1994 for properties with valid building
permits on the date of annexation but the permit expired prior to final approval. The ordinance includes
provisions that the projects be residential in nature, located in residentially zoned areas, meet setback
requirements of the Snohomish County code in effect on the date of annexation, are consistent with the
plans approved by the County, and meet all other applicable criteria in the current ECDC including the
current building code. The draft ordinance includes a provision that it is the applicant’s responsibility to
provide the City evidence the project was approved by the County; however, it is unknown if the County
has retained sufficient records to be utilized as evidence of work approved by the County prior to
annexation.
City Attorney Scott Snyder explained the proposed ordinance is intended to be the narrowest possible
exemption while still complying with constitutional special law provisions. He noted accomplishing this
via an interim zoning ordinance would deprive the public from an opportunity to comment as the
applicant could vest via filing a building permit application.
Councilmember Orvis pointed out Snohomish County failed to communicate with the City regarding the
pending building permit. Mr. Snyder agreed the Annexation Agreement the City has with Snohomish
County required that notification.
Councilmember Plunkett expressed concern about a lack of public vetting. Mr. Snyder responded the
Council could send the ordinance to the Planning Board for review and public comment before it was
enacted. An interim ordinance was based on findings that harm would occur that needed to be avoided
and that there was a public benefit. The finding in the ordinance was that half-built houses were
detrimental to the neighborhood.
Councilmember Bernheim asked how long the house had been in its current condition, recalling a
considerable period of time had elapsed where no action had been taken. Ms. Machuga responded the
permit was issued in 1993 and it had been approximately 16 years since the addition had been
constructed.
COUNCILMEMBER ORVIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WAMBOLT, TO
APPROVE THE DRAFT INTERIM ZONING ORDINANCE (EXHIBIT 1) RECOMMENDED BY
THE COMMITTEE.
COUNCILMEMBER PLUNKETT MOVED TO AMEND THE MOTION, SECONDED BY
COUNCILMEMBER BERNHEIM, TO REFER THE MATTER TO THE PLANNING BOARD.

Councilmember Bernheim commented although he empathized with the unfortunate position the
applicant found herself in, he was concerned with the lack of public notice. He pointed out the
considerable length of time when no action had been taken which indicated an additional delay would not
be prejudicial. He was also concerned with setting a precedent by allowing an applicant to obtain a
vested permit without public comment.
Councilmember Orvis commented that he was in favor of passing it now because the record did not
indicate there had been any complaints and it was important to finish the addition for safety reasons.
THE VOTE ON THE AMENDING MOTION CARRIED (4-3), COUNCILMEMBERS OLSON,
COUNCILMEMBER WAMBOLT, AND ORVIS OPPOSED.
Mayor Haakenson noted that a vote was not required on the first motion due to the action in the amendment.
4. PUBLIC COMMENT ON 2009 LEVY
Council President Wilson clarified the question tonight was specifically whether or not to place a levy on
the November ballot.
Al Rutledge, Edmonds, advised Mukilteo was considering placing a levy on the February ballot due to
expiration of their fire agreement with Everett on July 1. He encouraged citizens to watch Lynnwood
City Council meetings that are aired on Wednesdays at 7:00 p.m. and Sundays at 7:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.
David Thorpe, Edmonds, recalled during last week’s presentation regarding a proposed increase in
utility rates a statement was made that with the proposed increase, the city would be approximately 20%
below the State average municipal utility rate. He pointed out the City should not be 20% below but
should be at the median. Next, he expressed frustration with the Council’s handling of the levy to this
point. He recalled the work done by the Citizen Levy Review Committee (CLRC), noting by the third
meeting all the teams understood the City’s dire financial position. He recalled after taking three votes
unanimously in support for a levy, the Council then concerned itself with plastic bags and chickens,
losing the energy and focus of the CLRC. He summarized the delay let City workers down and forced the
Council to wait to place the levy on next year’s levy. He reminded this financial situation had been
festering for years and that the culture of just getting by needed to change.
Elizabeth Scott, Edmonds, a member of the CLRC’s yellow team who presented the minority opinion,
voiced her continued opposition to a levy, pointing out increased taxes would hurt Edmonds’ economy
and property values. She cited a study that found a negative relationship between property values and tax
rates; raising property taxes caused property values to drop because people were less likely to move into
the City. She pointed out Washington had the eighth highest taxes in the nation and second highest gas
tax; raising property taxes reached further into citizens pockets, people who were already cutting back on
purchasing. She commented on pink slips issued at Boeing and newspaper headlines about orders Airbus
has received while Boeing has none, noting Boeing represents 14% of the jobs in Snohomish County and
22% of the wages. She urged the Council to tighten its belt and actively work to increase economic
development to raise revenue streams, noting the formation of the Citizens Economic Development was a
step in the right direction.
Rich Senderoff, Edmonds, pointed out other government entities that have put off levy and bonds will
likely place them on the ballot in 2010 and if the Council waits until next year, the City’s ballot measure
will be competing with these other entities. He commented the overall outcome of the CLRC was still
applicable, that a levy was a short term fix. For this reason the yellow team advocated for the formation
of a Financial Oversight and Economic Development Committee. With regard to the type of levy, he and

The committee convened at 6:00 p.m.
A. Status of request by Carla Elder concerning a home addition initially started under County
permits.
Planner Jen Machuga explained that Ms. Elder and her husband obtained permits from
Snohomish County in 1993 to construct an addition to their home. Ms. Elder’s husband
began the work, but fell ill and passed away before being able to complete the interior
portion of the addition. The property was annexed into the City of Edmonds in 1995, and
the Elder’s building permit subsequently expired without the work being completed or
inspected. Per the Annexation Agreement, if a County permit expires after annexation, all
vesting is lost, and a new permit must be obtained from the City which meets current
adopted codes. The addition was built in compliance with the County’s setback
requirements; but it does not meet current City setback requirements. Staff discussed
potential options with the Council Committee, including a variance, lot line adjustment,
removing a portion of the addition, and adopting an ordinance amending the City’s
nonconforming regulations (ECDC 17.40). City Attorney, Bio Park, noted that the Council
could also adopt an interim zoning ordinance providing specific relief in a well-defined
situation such as this. The Committee agreed that the best option appeared to be the
interim ordinance approach suggested by Mr. Park. Bio Park noted that the county had not
complied fully with the interlocal agreement when the area was annexed by not informing
the city of outstanding permits such as the one in question here.
ACTION: The Council Committee requested that Mr. Park and staff craft an interim zoning
ordinance to bring before the City Council.
B. Landmark Tree Ordinance.
This item was deferred.

C. Update of the Stormwater Code (ECDC 18.30) and the Illicit Discharge Code (EMC 7.200).

Committee Action:Recommend Review by Full Council
Information
Subject Title
Report on petitions received regarding the "Meadowdale Beach Area" Annexation.
Recommendation from Mayor and Staff
(1) Accept the proposed annexation.
(2) Require the simultaneous adoption of proposed zoning regulations for the proposed area to be
annexed.
(3) Require the assumption of existing City indebtedness by the area to be annexed.
The above three recommendations are incorporated in the SECOND motion provided by the City
Attorney (see narrative below).
Previous Council Action
The Development Services Director briefed the CS/DS Committee on this subject in 2008 (see
Exhibit 3).
Narrative
The “Meadowdale Beach Area” Annexation refers to an area of land within unincorporated
Snohomish County lying east of 68th Avenue West near 160th Street SW that has expressed
interest in being annexed into the City of Edmonds (see Exhibits 1 and 2). On 05/13/2008
Development Services Director Duane Bowman informed the City Council Community
Services/Development Services Committee of this potential annexation (see Exhibit 3). Since that
time, Lynn Treseler has collected numerous signatures of the owners of over 10% of the assessed
property value of the proposed annexation area. It is the desire of these people to commence
annexation proceedings pursuant to RCW 35A.14.120 (see Exhibit 4).
Pursuant to RCW 35.A.14.120, the Council needs to determine if (1) they will accept the proposed
annexation, (2) if they will require the simultaneous adoption of proposed zoning regulations for
the proposed area to be annexed, and (3) if they will require the assumption of existing City
indebtedness by the area to be annexed.
Staff recommends that the Council (1) Accept the proposed annexation, (2) Require the
simultaneous adoption of proposed zoning regulations for the proposed area to be annexed, and
(3) Require the assumption of existing City indebtedness by the area to be annexed. Staff
recommends that the Council make a motion on this matter understanding that a decision to
Packet Page 290 of 385
require assumption of all or part of the bonded indebtedness of the city must be made at this
meeting and entered into the minutes by motion.
Below are three alternative motions provided by the City Attorney for the Council to consider. As
indicated above, Staff recommends the Council adopt the second motion:
(1) I move to reject the proposed annexation.
(2) I move to accept the proposed annexation and:
(a) Direct staff to initiate the process for the simultaneous adoption of RS-8 zoning or such
other zoning category as is consistent with the Edmonds Comprehensive Plan and as near to the
current Snohomish County zoning as practicable; and
(b) Provide for the assumption of all of the bonded indebtedness of the city [if less, specify
percentage or none as applicable].
(3) I move to modify the proposed annexation to exclude/include the [describe the deleted or
additional area] and:
(a) Direct staff to initiate the process for the simultaneous adoption of RS-8 zoning or such
other zoning as is consistent with the Edmonds Comprehensive Plan and as near to the current
Snohomish County zoning as is practicable; and
(b) Provide for the assumption of all of the bonded indebtedness of the city [if less, specify
percentage or none as applicable].

Committee Action:
Information
Subject Title
City of Edmonds Website - City Council Web Pages.
Recommendation from Mayor and Staff
When considering the kind of information the City Council wishes to place on City Council web
pages, using an Option 1 format would provide the most consistent information to web users by
not including philosophy and/or pending issues. This option could include providing the following
on each City Council member web page:
• City Council name and position number
• Phone and e-mail contact information
• Year elected to the City Council
• Number of terms served
• Council Committees and appointments
• Employment
• Basic factual biographical information (this could include birthplace, education, marital status,
hobbies, etc.)
If the City Council wishes to expand upon Option 1, then Option 2 could include the above
information in addition to general philosophies or goals of City Council members and address
pending issues of note within the Edmonds community.
Previous Council Action
Narrative
Over the past several months, City staff have been updating a variety of City website web pages in
an attempt to provide more effective and useful information to website visitors. Although the City
does not employ a Webmaster, the City does utilize the services of a contractor to assist with
website maintenance. As such, the responsibility for updating web pages and formatting rest with
existing City staff. Website development is ever evolving and is a product of numerous
contributions by individuals throughout the City and increasing the accessibility of information
contained within the City’s website is a primary goal of City Administration.
At the request of Council President Wilson, City Council webpages have been an area where City
staff have focused our efforts. As such, visitors to the City’s website can now find an updated City
Council web page http://www.ci.edmonds.wa.us/cityCouncil.stm. On this web page, visitors can
Packet Page 304 of 385
Council web page http://www.ci.edmonds.wa.us/cityCouncil.stm. On this web page, visitors can
find information about the Council’s adopted 2009 sustainability agenda, meeting schedule,
general contact information, and associated web links to individual Council member web pages
(Attachment 1).
As stated in Scott Snyder’s September 3, 2009 memorandum to the City Council, given the flurry
of e-mails recently regarding the website (City Council web pages), and the indication that the
City Council wishes to review the use of Council biographical material in light of these e-mails,
he prepared comments for consideration by the City Council (see Attachment 2). According to the
memorandum, the Council has a number of options with regard to the website. These include: 1)
listing names, dates, places and basic factual biographical information with no statements of
philosophy or references to pending legislative issues, 2) permit each Councilmember to state his
or her general philosophy and address pending issues of note in the Edmonds community, and/or
3) a limited forum approach for Council consideration. This approach would place the
photographs and voters’ pamphlet information on the City website to provide the public with
information relating to the candidates for public office and other issues on the Edmonds ballot. A
link could be provided to each candidate’s website where additional information could be
obtained. This would provide information in a neutral fashion to Edmonds voters in a controlled
format without opening the City’s website as an open public forum.
In a September 22, 2009, Washington State Public Disclosure Commission decision, the Public
Disclosure Commission stated the RCW 42.17.130 does not prohibit elected officials from
communicating with the public concerning the issues they are working on and their goals while in
office. It is important, however, that this type of communication not be used to campaign for
reelection, and it would be prudent to establish standards for what is expected on a biography page
of the City’s website.
City staff have compared existing Edmonds City Council member web pages with examples from
nine other cities within the Puget Sound region, i.e,, Mukilteo, Renton, Shoreline, Kirkland,
Bellevue, Lynnwood, Everett, Marysville and Redmond. See Attachment 3 for examples of these
web pages. Based on our review, City of Edmonds Council member web pages align most closely
with Option 1 above, i.e., names, dates, places and basic factual biographical information with
limited philosophy or references to pending legislative issues. This is also the case with seven of
the nine cities reviewed. The Cities that include some statements that could be interpreted to relate
to both Options 1 and 2 include Marysville and Renton. None of the nine cities provide
information related to Option 3.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: September 3, 2009
TO: Edmonds City Council
City of Edmonds
CC: Mayor Gary Haakenson
Stephen Clifton, Community Services Director
City of Edmonds
FROM: W. Scott Snyder, Office of the City Attorney
RE: Website
Given the flurry recently regarding the website, and the indication that the City Council wishes
to review the use of Council biographical material, I offer these comments.
The staff’s approach (that is, the approach of Mr. Clifton and myself) is an attempt to follow the
philosophy established by the Council when it allowed the use of public facilities for community
meeting meetings by a Councilmember who is in a campaign for reelection. In its decision, the
Council chose not to prohibit the use of facilities for this purpose, but has emphasized as I have
suggested, the need to avoid any reference to campaigns, distribution of campaign materials or to
solicit invitation of campaign contributions. In a nutshell as my recent e-mail indicates, it is my
opinion that a City Councilmember’s first amendment right and obligation in a representative
form of government to communicate with and listen to citizens is a normal and ordinary part of
the office of being an elected official.
The Council has a number of options with regard to the website. Among those that Mr. Clifton
and I have discussed are:
1. The Redmond Approach. Redmond lists names, dates, places and basic factual
biographical information. There are no statements of philosophy or references to pending
legislative issues.
Packet Page 315 of 385
{WSS740575.DOC;1\00006.900000\ }
2. Communication with Constituents. The second approach would permit each
Councilmember to state his or her general philosophy and address pending issues of note in the
Edmonds community. As with the Council’s decision on the use of public facilities by
Councilmembers during an election season, this approach is defensible but comes very close to
the line drawn by Washington statute and PDC rule. It depends on each Councilmember’s
communication avoiding any reference to the campaign including but not limited to references to
an opponent or any solicitation for campaign funds.
3. Limited Public Forum. As I have expressed in the past, opening the comment section or
the website to campaigning presents a myriad of problems, not least of which is placing
Councilmembers and those trying to monitor the comments at a disadvantage. As the City
Council is aware, the individual Councilmembers can only express opinions regarding ballot
issues, whether other ballot measures through a very strict format involving notice, formal action
of the Council meeting and the passage of a resolution after comment for both sides. Opening
the mike or the website to campaigning raises the specter that individuals may make comments
to which the Council cannot respond. Several weeks ago, this problem arose when candidates
included Councilmembers’ City website addresses in broadcast e-mails and began a debate to
which the Councilmembers could not legally respond from City e-mail.
Mr. Clifton and I have discussed a limited forum approach for Council consideration. This
approach would place the photographs and voters’ pamphlet information on the City website to
provide the public with information relating to the candidates for public office and other issues
on the Edmonds ballot. A link could be provided to each candidate’s website where additional
information could be obtained. This would provide information in a neutral fashion to Edmonds
voters in a controlled format without opening the City’s website as an open public forum.
I have a commitment on September 15 and cannot attend the Council meeting, but will ensure
that Mr. Clifton and Mr. Park will be available to answer questions and draft any follow up that
the Council directs.
