Street Vacation Public Hearing Comments I am submitting these written comments to respectfully request that the City of Edmonds pause the pending street-vacation process until the recently adopted language in ECDC 18.55 is amended to comply with Washington State law and constitutional limitations on government takings. The core issue is the new language in ECDC 18.55.120, which states: “Additionally and/or alternatively, the city council may condition the street vacation on the conveyance of an easement between third parties.” This provision is not authorized under RCW 35.79, which governs street vacations. RCW 35.79 allows a city to impose conditions related to the public right-of-way itself (RCW 35.79.010, .020) and to require monetary compensation within statutory limits (RCW 35.79.030, .040). Nowhere does the statute grant a city authority to compel the conveyance of an easement between third parties as a condition of vacation. Beyond violating RCW 35.79, this provision may constitute an unconstitutional taking under long-established U.S. Supreme Court precedent. In Nollan v. California Coastal Commission (1987) and Dolan v. City of Tigard (1994), the Court held that governments may not condition approval of land-use requests on property concessions unless there is an “essential nexus” and “rough proportionality” between the condition and the public impact of the proposed action. More recently, in Koontz v. St. Johns River Water Mgmt. Dist. (2013), the Court confirmed that even demands for off-site or monetary concessions can violate the Fifth Amendment when used as leverage against an applicant. The requirement in ECDC 18.55.120 appears to fail all three tests: No essential nexus exists between vacating a public right-of-way and the conveyance of an easement between third parties. No rough proportionality exists because the conveyance of an easement between third parties is unrelated to any public burden created by the vacation request. Koontz makes clear that such coercive conditions—even if the applicant can theoretically decline—constitute an unconstitutional taking. Additionally, no other city in Washington imposes such authority in its municipal code. The provision is unprecedented statewide and exposes the City to substantial legal risk, including potential invalidation of any vacation approved under this defective language. For the protection of the City, the public, and affected property owners, I respectfully request that the Council place this street-vacation request on hold until ECDC 18.55.120 is repealed or amended   Item 7.1       Packet pg. 4/81 Edmonds City Council Public Comments – February 3, 2026 Meeting to comply with RCW 35.79 and constitutional takings law. It would be best to repeal Ordinance 4400 and adopt laws desired by the Planning Board and your constituents. Thank you for your consideration.

This segment is isolated and no longer functions as a meaningful public roadway. Vacating it would improve safety by reducing conflict points, lower public maintenance costs, and allow the land to be used more effectively. For these reasons, I support approval of the street vacation.

This proposal would generate present-day funds for the City and would have future beneflts if/when the property is developed. In addition to the funds gained by the City, the street vacation to private ownership would reduce the City's maintenance costs and allow for improved safety to this dead end cul-de-sac. As a resident of Edmonds, I am in support of, and would encourage, the City Counsel to vote in favor of this street vacation.

As an Edmonds resident and local developer, I believe this vacation is appropriate, meets the applicable criteria outlined in Edmonds Municipal Code 18.55.020, and represents a positive addition to the surrounding area and the broader Edmonds corridor. After reviewing the proposal and understanding the intent of the application, it is clear that the requested vacation does not negatively impact public access, circulation, or utility needs, and that all required easements and conditions can be adequately addressed. From both a planning and practical standpoint, the vacation appears to be consistent with the City’s long-term goals for thoughtful redevelopment, efficient land use, and enhancement of underutilized rights-of-way. Projects like this play an important role in strengthening the Edmonds corridor by encouraging responsible development that aligns with existing infrastructure and neighborhood context. In this case, the vacation allows for a more cohesive and functional use of the property while maintaining public safety   Item 7.1       Packet pg. 7/81 Edmonds City Council Public Comments – February 3, 2026 Meeting and utility continuity. I view this as an opportunity to improve the built environment rather than leave fragmented or unused space that offers limited public beneflt. As someone who lives and works in Edmonds, I am particularly supportive of projects that reinvest in our city, activate underutilized areas, and contribute to a more connected and intentional streetscape. This proposal appears to do exactly that while complying with city code and established review standards. For these reasons, I respectfully encourage the City Council to approve the street vacation application. I appreciate the Council’s time and consideration, as well as the City staff’s work in reviewing and guiding projects through a thorough and transparent process. Thank you for your service to the Edmonds community and for the opportunity to provide public comment.

It’s come to my attention a person I respect tremendously is attempting to purchase a city road which dead ends at his property. I am in favor of the proposed street vacation for 2 main reasons. The flrst of which is that it is of no use to the city and its residents. Selling this road will provide much needed income for the city and eliminate any further expenses maintaining the road. Plans to generate city funds by selling off parks or community building are shocking to me. Please use opportunities like this to flnd those flnances. Secondly, I know flrst hand what a craftsman Shaun is. Any changes from this road sale will only upgrade the surrounding areas. Local residents will beneflt longterm from improved streetscape and surroundings. I appreciate the opportunity to view my opinion, and encourage the council to vote in favor of the proposal.   Item 7.1       Packet pg. 8/81 Edmonds City Council Public Comments – February 3, 2026 Meeting To view this form submission online, please follow the link below: https://edmondswa.gov/form/one.aspx?objectId=21159246&contextId=18452053&returnto=sub missions Online Form 2026-01-27 12:54 AM(MST) was submitted by Guest on 1/27/2026 2:54:33 AM (GMT- 07:00) US/Arizona Name Value FirstName Mark LastName Aker Email Markandjenn@comcast.net CityOfResidence Edmonds AgendaTopic Sale of ROW (84th street vacation) hearing tomorrow Comments To whom it may concern: My name is Mark Aker I grew up in Shoreline, Washington and am a 14 year resident of Edmonds. I am writing today to support and encourage the city council to vote in favor of the street vacation (ROW) as I believe it to be in the best interest of both the residents and the city. My family and I purchased our home 14 years ago in the neighborhood directly across Edmonds Way from the property of interest (ROW). This area of Edmonds has been the home of many illegal activities over the years which include garbage dumping, burglaries, theft, prostitution and abandon vehicles. Allowing the sale of the ROW to the private owner applicant would allow the owner to enclose and monitor the property. In turn, reducing strain on police resources which can be better directed elsewhere saving the city money. In addition, the selling of ROW to the private owner applicant allows for a community involved, reputable small business to expand its footprint which will beneflt the city with property taxes and permit fees as well as increase the city’s land tax base - again saving the city money and contributing to the city. Finally, I believe the selling of ROW to the private owner applicant would beneflt the city, as the city would no longer need to maintain the “right of way road.” It would no longer be up to the city to clear vegetation, clean up illegal dumping, street sweeping, as well as normal road repairs. The private owner applicant would be in charge of maintaining the land saving the city well need funds. In summary, as a Edmonds resident I encourage the city council to vote in favor and support the vacation as I feel it is in the best interest of both the residents and the city.

I have been an Edmonds resident for 40 of my 50 years. I apologize for not being present, as I had a confiicting engagement. I support the cities vacation of this property common to 84th Ave W, south of 240th St SW, and bounded by the Highway 99 and Edmonds way right of way. This piece of property serves only as a hinderance to the city, with no sizable use for the city it is only a flnancial burden for upkeep, and police engagement. I drive by this property multiple times daily, over the years on I have witnessed Mr. Leiser out maintaining the overgrown grass and picking up liter on this the cities property himself. Mr. Leiser and his construction business have improved the appearance of Highway 99 in both King and Snohomish counties on multiple occasions with the construction of new clean attractive buildings. Most recently the SCL office building common to this property. The city of Edmonds does an above average job at keeping its city visually appealing, and vacating this property would help to further this, along with generating income that the city needs in a dire way. As a resident of the City of Edmonds, I encourage the council to vote in favor of this proposal as it will be a beneflt to the city and its residents.

I am a condominium owner at Edmonds Greenery, 8414 240th Street SW, and a member of our homeowners’ association. I am writing to strongly oppose the proposed vacation of 84th Avenue West south of 240th Street SW, bounded by SR-99 and Edmonds Way. This issue is deeply personal to me. I am a single homeowner, and my condominium is not simply an investment—it is my home, my stability, and central to my well-being. Quality of life impacts are already being felt. The adjacent property owner, SCL Enterprises, operates a general contracting business. We have already seen trees removed that provided noise buffering and shade, and a fence erected that blocks pedestrian access to Highway 99 and nearby businesses. I do not own a car, and this change has made daily life more difficult and isolating. Vacating the street raises serious concerns about increased truck traffic, idling, noise, vibration, diesel exhaust, and safety confiicts immediately adjacent to our homes. The primary beneflt of this street vacation appears to be for one property owner seeking expanded control. That is not sufficient justiflcation when many nearby residents bear the permanent impacts and risks. I respectfully ask the Council to: 1. Deny the proposed vacation of 84th Avenue West; or, at minimum, 2. Require a full public review of all utility and stormwater infrastructure and easements, 3. Retain permanent, recorded, non-exclusive easements with clear access rights and no obstructions, 4. Conduct a traffic, safety, and noise analysis speciflc to commercial vehicle activity near residences, 5. Prohibit intensifled commercial staging or truck use adjacent to homes, and 6. Make written flndings demonstrating a clear public beneflt that outweighs the permanent loss of public right-of-way.

We need to keep our access ability off of 84th street on SW part of our property. This past summer we started a new business on the above property called ‘EV Driven’, which sole purpose was to sell electric vehicles. Unfortunately, when EV government subsidies ended on September 30th we were forced to suspend operations because of lack of demand. We have now seen electric vehicles rebound to the point where we hope to reopen this facility soon.

I have a number of questions and concerns regarding this proposal for the vacation of 84th Avenue W. They are: - How will the vacation of 84th affect the Edmonds Greenery 84th Avenue W entrance? - What is the proposed use of the property? - Where will the turnaround for 84th be located? My concern is that drivers will come to the end of 84th and turn into our (Edmonds Greenery) property to try and turn around, or just use our driveway as a way to turn around. -Is it possible to see a diagram of what they plan to do with the property? And where the turnaround would be? - Will the utilities underground pipes and water lines be done by the appropriate organizations, and not the property owner? - Will the fence that the property owner built on the north side of their property, next to Edmonds Greenery south side, be brought up to code?

I live in the Edmonds Greenery building north of the property in question. I have a major concern over the logistics of making it privately owned and operated. The applicant had mentioned the street serves a single owner, himself. That said, 84th ave W does not a serve single owner. Our Edmonds Greenery condo has a west entrance off 84th ave W just north of the massage (in addition to the main entrance off 240th st), just   Item 7.1       Packet pg. 13/81 Edmonds City Council Public Comments – February 3, 2026 Meeting before the cul de sac start (before the massage parlor). Access restriction would affect our communities access to our own building. Also mentioned was the belief that this would not impede circulation of traffic. However, as was mentioned in the public comments, there is a 4 way stop on 84th ave south and 240th street that a signiflcant number of drivers use to access Aurora ave south, and while there is a "dead end" sign, drivers that are looking to re-merge with aurora often miss (anecdotally, dozens of drivers miss this and have to use the cul de sac to fiip around to go back to 240th and then merge on Aurora). My question/ concern is if there is a vacation and privately owned, how will these drivers be able to fiip around? A major concern would be they will will simply use our condo communities East entrance to fiip around instead. How will private ownership it be enforced?

BUDGET: Total Dollar Amount:0 ☐ Approved in Budget Fund(s):n/a ☐ Budget Reallocation Required ☒ No Budget Impact PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT: The CTR plan was updated and approved in 2025 and the updates need to be reflected in our City Code. CONTEXT, ANALYSIS, & ALTERNATIVES: Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) law requires employers in the most congested areas of Washington to encourage employees to reduce the number and length of drive-alone commute trips made to their worksite. The CTR Law (RCW 70.94.521-551) was adopted in 1991 as part of the Washington Clean Air Act. The City of Edmonds partnered with Community Transit and other jurisdictions in Snohomish County to update their respective Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) Plans in 2025, because the current plan was set to expire in 2025. The updated plan includes strategies to reduce traffic congestion, air pollution, and fuel consumption by encouraging alternative transportation options for commuters from 2025 through 2029. Congestion and traffic affect more than just vehicles on the road; they impact our entire community, increased traffic leads to higher air pollution and carbon emissions, posing risks to people and the environment. The update was approved by Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC), Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), in 2025 and by Edmonds City Council on June 24, 2025. An ordinance is now needed so that the changes included in this update will be reflected in Section 17.95.090 of Edmonds City Code (ECC), regarding the Services and Strategies the City will use to achieve the identified CTR Targets. RECOMMENDATION: Forward this item to future Council meeting for approval.

CITY CLERK, LUKE LONIE   Item 9.1       Packet pg. 51/81 City Council Agenda Item 9.2 February 3, 2026 - Regular Meeting TITLE:Potential Moratorium on Permit Applications Within the Deer Creek Critical Aquifer Recharge Area (CARA) DEPARTMENT:Planning and Development Services PRESENTER:Mike Clugston NEEDED FROM COUNCIL:Discussion RECOMMENDATION:Staff will introduce the topic and answer any questions the Council has. If Council would like to move forward with a moratorium, the ordinance should be scheduled for adoption at the next regular meeting and the required public hearing for the moratorium should be set for March 3, 2026. BUDGET: Total Dollar Amount:Unknown ☐ Approved in Budget Fund(s):N/A ☒ Budget Reallocation Required ☐ No Budget Impact PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT: City Council is asked to consider adoption of an ordinance establishing a temporary moratorium on the acceptance of permit applications that would trigger stormwater management requirements within the Deer Creek Critical Aquifer Recharge Area (CARA). The moratorium is intended to pause new development activity while the City completes the ongoing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) study and evaluates feasible, science-based stormwater management approaches for this closed-basin aquifer. Recent amendments to the City’s Critical Areas Ordinance (CAO) included new CARA provisions that effectively prohibit stormwater infiltration within the Deer Creek CARA. Because infiltration is currently the only feasible method of stormwater management in this basin, staff has determined there is no clear pathway for approval of certain types of development applications under the current regulatory framework. The proposed moratorium provides interim regulatory clarity while the City completes technical analysis and considers longer-term policy solutions. CONTEXT, ANALYSIS, & ALTERNATIVES: CONTEXT The Deer Creek CARA is a closed hydrologic basin where stormwater either infiltrates into the ground or evaporates. Infiltration has historically been required and, in fact, relied upon to maintain aquifer recharge. At the same time, emerging concerns regarding PFAS and groundwater protection have prompted the City to initiate a focused PFAS study to inform future regulatory decisions using best available science. Prior to adoption by City Council at the January 6, 2026 meeting, staff identified that the proposed CARA language would effectively prohibit all forms of stormwater infiltration within the Deer Creek CARA, including systems that meet state underground injection control (UIC) and non-endangerment   Item 9.2       Packet pg. 52/81 standards. Given the absence of identified alternative stormwater management methods for this area, staff does not currently see a viable approval pathway for development proposals that trigger stormwater requirements. PURPOSE The proposed moratorium would temporarily suspend acceptance of permit applications that would trigger stormwater management requirements within the Deer Creek CARA. The purpose is to: Allow sufficient time to complete the Deer Creek PFAS study; Evaluate whether feasible stormwater management alternatives exist for this area; Consider potential amendments to CARA and/or stormwater regulations informed by completed scientific analysis; and Avoid the futile processing of applications during this interim period. The moratorium is proposed for a period of six months, consistent with state law, with a required public hearing to be held within 60 days of adoption (anticipated for March 3, 2026). ALTERNATIVES Alternative 1 – Take No Action Council could decline to adopt a moratorium. Pros: Avoids controversy and other modest risks associated with moratoria. Cons: Leaves applicants and staff without a clear approval pathway for projects triggering stormwater requirements, while still incurring permit fee costs; increases legal and procedural risk associated with permit denial; wastes staff time processing futile applications. Alternative 2 – Adopt Moratorium (Proposed Action) Council could adopt the proposed six-month moratorium. Pros: Provides regulatory clarity over the short term; prevents owners from paying permit fees when there is no feasible approval pathway; allows future decisions to be informed by completed scientific study; consistent with precautionary approach that motivated the adoption of the CARA regulations, while avoiding premature permanent regulation. Cons: Moratoria can be controversial and carry inherent, albeit modest, legal and policy risks. RECOMMENDATION: Discuss the proposed moratorium and if Council chooses to move it forward, schedule the ordinance for adoption at the next regular meeting and set the required public hearing for the moratorium for March 3, 2026. BUDGET IMPACTS: No immediate budget reallocation is required. However, adoption of the moratorium will result in a temporary loss of revenue associated with development activity within the Deer Creek CARA, including permit fees, plan review fees, impact fees, and other development-related charges that would   Item 9.2       Packet pg. 53/81 otherwise be collected during the moratorium period. That said, the adoption of the Critical Areas Ordinance with the CARA amendments has already affected the feasibility of development proposals within the Deer Creek CARA. As a result, revenue impacts related to project infeasibility would occur regardless of whether a moratorium is adopted. In this context, the proposed moratorium would serve to clarify for applicants, the public, and staff the practical effect of the adopted CARA amendments while the PFAS study is underway. In addition, a moratorium would improve administrative efficiency because it would reduce or eliminate time spent processing futile applications.
