AUDIENCE Future of Ray Albano, 20916 76th Avenue W, Edmonds, referred to the Council's discussion of the future of Edmonds Edmonds, and said he viewed Edmonds as a 19th Century city struggling into the 20th Century when it should be reaching for the 21st Century. He also commented his belief that there is a diminishing tax base in Edmonds. He envisioned the cities of Edmonds, Mountlake Terrace, and Lynnwood would be consolidated by 2010 -2025 due to the limited tax base in Edmonds and Mountlake Terrace. He said cities must have a solid tax base rather than continuing to raise property taxes and nuisance taxes. He DB commented the Architectural Design Board (ADB) was one of the big reasons there has not been good economic growth in the City. Further, he was disappointed the Council allowed comment at their work ■ meeting last week during the discussion of the role of the ADB. He agreed with the comments made by the architect regarding the ADB and recommended the Council further define the role of the ADB. Students Marie Dalbotten, Erica Schaeffer, and Robin Schmaus, representing the Madrona School SAVE Against Chapter, proposed a wall to memorialize children who have died as a result of violence in Washington violence since 1991. Ms. Dalbotten explained the . wall tiles would be designed by students and teachers who attend the Peace Summit at Madrona School on June 10. She invited the Council to attend the Peace Summit at 2:30 p.m. in the cafeteria. Ms. Schaeffer said the Peace Summit would encourage and inform other schools how to start SAVE Chapters in their schools and invite them to the Day of National Concern on October 8. Ms. Dalbotten asked the Council to support the creation of the memorial wall and said the Madrona SAVE Chapter would pledge $300. Mr. Schmaus distributed information regarding the wall. 4. PRESENTATION OF RECIPIENTS OF 1998 EDMONDS ARTS COMMISSION (LAC) Arts Comm. LITERARY AND PERFORMING ARTS SCHOLARSHIPS AND 1997 ANNUAL REPORT Annual Report Cultural Program Coordinator Frances Chapin introduced Peter Hodges, Chair of the Edmonds Arts Commission. Mr. Hodges explained the most significant work done during their program year was the extensive strategic planning process. He read their updated mission statement, "The Edmonds Arts Commission leads, supports, promotes and represents the arts. EAC exists to ensure that the arts are integral to our community's quality of life, economic vitality, and central identity." He indicated the EAC developed five goals and accompanying strategies; each goal is supervised by a commissioner or team of commissioners who oversee implementation of the strategy. He referred to the EAC income described in the brochure; noting one quarter of the budget comes from the City's general fund. He thanked the Council for their continued support of the arts. Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes June 2, 1998 Page 2 Mr. Hodges commented that students involved in music have higher SAT scores. This involvement enables students to enhance their perceptual and cognitive capabilities, builds multi - cultural bridges in an increasingly diverse society, and leads to participation in a global community. He pointed out that more money is spent on arts related events than professional sports or other diversions, which suggests the arts Fit, Conn,_ result in jobs and economic opportunity. Scholarships Mr. Hodges described the accomplishments of Laura Routt, the recipient of a Performing Arts Scholarship from the Arts Commission. He introduced Elizabeth Shen, recipient of a Literary Arts Scholarship and described her accomplishments. Ms. Shen read a selection entitled, "Ancient Woman." Mr. Hodges introduced Katherine Romano, recipient of a Performing Arts Scholarship, and described her accomplishments. Ms. Romano sang "Walking After Midnight" by Patsy Cline. ix Year TI 5. HEARING ON SIX YEAR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (TIP) City Engineer Jim Walker explained the City is required to update their Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) annually. He commented only the federally funded programs are required to be adopted in the TIP but the City has traditionally shown all anticipated or planned projects. He said this was an opportunity for citizens to provide input on any improvement they would like to have included in the plan. He advised a petition was submitted requesting the inclusion of sidewalks on Maplewood in the TIP. Although there were a number of citizens petitioning for the sidewalk, a survey indicated there was little support for the project by residents on Maplewood. Therefore, at this time staff did not propose including the sidewalk in the TIP. He noted there were limited sidewalk funds available as much of the sidewalk funds are derived from developers who elect to contribute to the sidewalk fund rather than construct a sidewalk in front of their project. Projects are then prioritized and larger sidewalk projects constructed in areas greatly in need rather than isolated sidewalks constructed by developers. He said the goal of the Comprehensive Plan was to construct sidewalks near schools or parks; therefore those areas are typically priorities. For Councilmember White, Mr. Walker advised the survey was sent to residents on Maplewood between Main Street and 200th where the walkway would be installed. Council President Pro Tem Van Hollebeke asked Mr. Walker to describe the process used to identify streets to be repaired and how citizens could submit a request for an addition to the TIP. Mr. Walker answered the conditions of all streets in the City are reviewed and streets are selected for repair based on their condition. He said the City's goal is to repair streets before they become severely deteriorated and major repairs are required. He clarified the street repairs are not done on a request basis but via an analytical review of the condition of the streets. Council President Pro Tem Van Hollebeke asked if there was an improved process to analyze the condition of the street. Mr. Walker answered the use of equipment that measure distress on pavement (rather than a visual survey) has been discussed but not yet implemented. Council President Pro Tem Van Hollebeke asked if further information regarding this process would be presented to the Council for next year's TIP. Mr. Walker answered this process is being evaluated by a staff member. He said a smaller program would likely be undertaken in the first year such as arterials and key areas that have already been identified to compare the processes of identifying streets in need of repair. Mayor Pro Tem Haakenson opened the public participation of the hearing. There were no members of the public present to address the Council. Mayor Pro Tem Haakenson closed the public participation portion of the hearing and remanded the matter to Council. Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes June 2, 1998 Page 3 COUNCIL PRESIDENT PRO TEM VAN HOLLEBEKE MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PLUNKETT, FOR THE RECOMMENDED ACTION TO AUTHORIZE THE ADOPTION OF THE RESOLUTION AND RECORDING OF THE DOCUMENTS BY THE CITY CLERK. MOTION CARRIED. Closed 6. CLOSED RECORD HEARING ON AN APPEAL OF THE DECISION BY THE Record ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN BOARD TO APPROVE, WITH CONDITIONS. AN APPLICATION Hearing - FOR COMPLIANCE WITH THE CITY'S SITE DESIGN CRITERIA FOR THE REPLACEMENT Atlantic OF CANOPY FASCIA AND SIGNAGE. THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS ZONED "BC - Richfield File No. COMMUNITY BUSINESS." (Applicant: Atlantic RichfieldBarghausen Consulting Engineers; -98 -61 Property Location: 202 -5th Avenue S / File No. AP- 98 -61) Senior Planner John Bissell explained the Architectural Design Board (ADB) held a hearing on the application by ARCO to change the style of the gas pump island canopy but not the exterior of the existing convenience store building. The ADB reviewed the application and understood that the proposal would be an improvement but felt as proposed could not comply with Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) Section 20.10.070 which states that building design is to have a continuous theme throughout the site. The ADB gave the applicant a conditional approval, which required changes to the facade of the convenience store building so there would be a continuous theme throughout the site, a decision the applicant has appealed. Staff feels the ADB made the correct interpretation of the Code and recommends the ADB's decision be upheld. City Attorney Scott Snyder explained under the Regulatory Reform Act, a Closed Record Appeal allows only parties of record to speak and their comments are limited to the record developed by the ADB. Councilmember Miller clarified the applicant wants to change the color of the canopy and the conditional approval requires the canopy and the fascia of the entire building be changed. Mr. Bissell agreed. Councilmember Miller observed the applicant indicated they were unable to change the color of the remainder of the building for budget reasons. Mr. Bissell said budget was not the reason for not changing the color on the building; the reason was to indicate that ARCO and AM/PM are separate entities. Councilmember Plunkett observed the applicant must meet three tests, 1) the Comprehensive Plan by developing a project that is architecturally compatible, 2) zoning requirements, and 3) the ECDC regarding integrated development. Councilmember Plunkett asked how the ADB defined "architecturally compatible" and "integrated development." Mr. Bissell answered architecturally compatible was not defined in the Code, therefore, the ADB would consider materials, colors, and design theme and elements. He said there was reference to this in Section 20.10 and gave staff the ability to waive review by the ADB for certain elements such as materials, building theme, style, and color. Councilmember Plunkett asked if this would be somewhat subjective. Mr. Bissell answered yes. Mr. Snyder referred to ECDC 20.10.070 that states, "all elements of building design should form an integrated development, harmonious in scale, line and mass. Building elements include all exterior elements and colors." He said this was as close to a definition as the code provides. Bruce Creiger, Barghausen Consulting Engineers, on behalf of Atlantic Richfield, said their concerns are the same as expressed at the ADB hearing on the proposed canopy re- imaging. He explained the proposal was part of an ARCO corporate program to bring their image into the 1990s. The gas pumps and convenience store are the same company but are seen as separate entities. He explained Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes .tune 1. 1998 Page 4 ARCO gas can be found with and without the convenience store and the convenience store can be operated. by ARCO or by a contract dealer. In this case, the new image for ARCO gasoline is more streamlined than the current appearance yet the proposal incorporates colors that are presently used at the ARCO /convenience store facility. He displayed the ARCO New Image Color board (which Mr. Bissell confirmed was an attachment to the ADB staff report and Mr. Snyder requested be submitted to the City Clerk as an exhibit) and explained the dark blue is currently found in the lower portion of the convenience store fascia panel and the canopy panel. The gray is currently found on the front doors of the convenience store and is similar to the aluminum frame windows although it would be a new color for the fascia. He pointed out the gray was a neutral color that would not conflict with the dark blue or the colors that will remain on the fascia of the convenience store building. He explained the canopy fascia is 1 foot wide and the building fascia is 3 feet wide and the canopy fascia is higher than the building roofline. Mr. Creiger referred to the criteria found in 20.10.070 that states, "all elements of building design should form an integrated development, harmonious in scale, line and mass. Building elements include all exterior elements and colors," pointing out there was no requirement that color schemes and design be identical. He felt the use of the gray was compatible with the existing colors on the building, was compatible with the reuse of the dark blue on the fascia and should be approved by the City. He requested the Council find that the ARCO fascia canopy is harmonious and integrated with the convenience store and its fascia and that the proposal meets the design guidelines in Section 20.10.070. This would result in the removal of the ADB condition that the existing building fascia be remodeled with the same design theme as the canopy fascia. Councilmember Earling stated that Mr. Creiger's presentation indicated there were two different entities for the gasoline and the convenience store. He asked who would pay for the remodeling (Atlantic Richfield or the franchisee)? Mr. Creiger answered the cost would be shared between the corporation and the contract dealer. He was not aware of the cost split. Councilmember Earling said this was important information to know. Councilmember White asked why the color change was occurring? Mr. Creiger explained the intent is to give the ARCO gas portion of the facility a newer image. ARCO has selected a new trademark theme using the ARCO trademark blue as well as the gray. Councilmember White observed ARCO is attempting to distinguish itself from AM/PM. Council President Pro Tem Van Hollebeke recalled the testimony before the ADB indicated there were similar facilities that were done in a unified color scheme similar to the proposed canopy fascia color. Mr. Creiger disagreed and said none of the 252 sites they are working on for Atlantic Richfield in the northwest region have been remodeled using this design theme on both the canopy and the building. Council President Pro Tem Van Hollebeke questioned if it was ARCO's intent to have a distinct difference in the style, design, and color. Mr. Creiger answered there is a difference in the design theme, which creates a difference between the gasoline sales portion of the business and the convenience store. He stressed the two could be different and still be complimentary and harmonious. Councilmember Miller said he struggled with how the design was harmonious, noting the existing building and canopy was white with a band of orange stripes and blue trim and the proposed new canopy color would be silver with blue trim and a red logo. Mr. Creiger said the exhibit was submitted into the record as well as photographs of the existing facility and the canopy as constructed at other facilities. He Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes June 2, 1998 Page 5 Dive Rescue eam stated the dark blue is identical to what is used now and the gray is neutral and does not conflict with the dark blue on the canopy or the orange in the existing convenience store. Mayor Pro Tern Haakenson appreciated the new color theme and said he would like to see it on the entire building. He asked if the franchisee owned the gasoline and the convenience store? Mr. Creiger said he was not certain of the ownership situation at this location. Mayor Pro Tern Haakenson asked if it was common for the gasoline and convenience store facilities to be owned by two separate entities? Mr. Creiger answered no; the same individual would manage both. He observed if the entire building were remodeled to incorporate the color change, it would cost the franchisee and the corporation more. Councilmember White said the cost to the proprietor should not be considered when making a determination. He objected to making a record on this information and suggested it not be considered as part of this hearing. Mr. Snyder agreed, noting this information was making a record that did not exist as the Council was limited to the information considered by the ADB. Mayor Pro Tern Haakenson opened the public participation portion of the hearing. Mr. Snyder advised no one else spoke at the ADB hearing. Mayor Pro Tern Haakenson closed the public participation portion of the hearing and remanded the matter to Council. Councilmember White commented that Edmonds promotes itself as a business friendly city; this is an existing business in Edmonds that has made a corporate decision to distinguish itself from the convenience store. He said the City should allow a business to do with itself what it chooses rather than dictating the color scheme ARCO should have in Edmonds. He said the message to ARCO and other businesses may appear to be, "unless you follow our color scheme, do your business somewhere else." He did not find the color scheme distasteful, inharmonious, or architecturally inappropriate. He commented if ARCO's intent was to distinguish itself from the convenience store, it would not make sense to legislate that right away from them. He indicated he would support the appeal. Councilmember Miller observed ARCO and AM/PM have entered into a partnership for a joint business venture at this location. The current color scheme of the canopy and building is consistent but he felt the new canopy color would clash with the building color. He indicated he would support the ADB's decision. Council President Pro Tern Van Hollebeke supported Councilmember White's comments, remarking the color of the canopy repeats a portion of the existing colors on the AM/PM. Although he preferred the new design be incorporated into the entire site, he agreed that was Atlantic Richfield's decision. Although the colors did not match exactly, he did not find that was required by the criteria. Councilmember Plunkett stated the ADB determined the change was so extensive, it was outside the Code. Although he agreed there were differences, he felt it was within the Code and the colors did not appear to clash. He indicated he would support the appeal. COUNCIL PRESIDENT PRO TEM VAN HOLLEBEKE MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PLUNKETT, TO UPHOLD THE APPEAL AND DENY THE DECISION OF THE ADB. MOTION CARRIED, COUNCILMEMBERS EARLING AND MILLER OPPOSED. 7. REPORT ON THE DIVE RESCUE TEAM Police Chief Hickok explained when the 1997 budget was being prepared, a decision was made to eliminate the combined police and fire dive rescue team and boat due to the $22,000 cost and anticipated budget shortfalls in other areas for 1997. Shortly after that time, some members of the Fire Department Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes June 2, 1998 Page 6 suggested the dive team be re- started due to the need on the waterfront. Following a discussion with Mayor Fahey, it was agreed to implement the dive team with police divers as it was more economical due to better overtime control in the Police Department as well as the availability of the existing equipment. He explained an agreement was reached with the Port regarding use of their boat and Police Officer/Dive Master Don Kinney started a new training program and improved the record - keeping system for the dive team. He said the dive team has worked very hard in the past 18 months to re -start the dive team and have' developed one of the better dive teams in the Puget Sound area. Police Officer Don Kinney, Edmonds Dive Team, introduced the members of the dive team, Fred Bonallo, Paul Miller, and Dave Miller and described their diving backgrounds. He explained a Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) Manual was developed that included establishing an annual medical exam for each diver, requiring an annual physical fitness test for each diver that includes both land and water related skills, developing a monthly training outline and developing basic equipment specifications which includes an extra air source, as well as many other safety areas. He noted the doctor the dive team has contracted with for the annual medical exam is available by e -mail and by telephone 24 hours per day in the case of a diving accident or emergency. Officer Kinney displayed a sample dive log with includes basic safety standards such as the availability of the hyperbaric chamber, water conditions, and length of training. He displayed a sample of a training scenario form which includes the goals of the scenario, time in the classroom and water, special equipment, and objectives of the training. He displayed a skills test and proficiency test that is maintained in divers' files as long as they are a member of the team. Officer Kinney advised the Dive Team was able to send Senior Officer Bonallo to an Underwater Investigation course which now gives the team two certified Underwater Investigators (including Officer Kinney). The Dive Team updated all divers' files on each diver's training, medical status, and individual qualifications and placed their inventory on computer for easier assignment and tracking. The Dive Team has also updated their equipment including a separate air source for each diver supplied by the City. The Dive Team is currently trying to raise money to purchase underwater communication gear and has approximately $1400 of the $10,000 needed. The Dive Team is also updating their training to keep at the higher levels necessary to maintain safety. The Dive Team recently completed deep and multi -level diving instruction that certified every diver to dive to 130 feet. He said the Dive Team plans to contact the Navy EOD team for training on boat hull searches which may be necessary in the event of a bomb threat to the ferry or one of the boats moored in the marina. The Dive Team would also like to host an area dive class, which would allow the team to train for free as well as bring the seminar to the City. The Medical Examiner's office will provide specialized training to the Dive Team regarding investigation of a SCUBA fatality. Officer Kinney thanked the Police Foundation, citizen groups, and private citizens for their donations to the Dive Team for underwater communication gear. He thanked Underwater Sports, the dive center on Railroad Avenue, noting without their support the dive team would not be nearly as successful. He explained Underwater Sports provides training rooms free of charge, free air, immediate minor repairs, and locating the least expensive equipment. Mayor Pro Tern Haakenson complimented the Dive Team for taking the program to greater heights and said the City was fortunate to have the Dive Team. Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes June 2, 1998 Page 7 Council President Pro Tem Van Hollebeke echoed Mayor Pro Tem Haakenson's comments and asked Officer Kinney to describe how the team responds to an incident. Officer Kinney explained the process begins with a 911 call; the 911 operators contact the divers via pager who respond to the station to pick up their gear and then to the dive site. He said three divers responded in full gear within 15 minutes to a recent call. Council President Pro Tem Van Hollebeke asked if it was standard procedure to have two divers at all times? Officer Kinney responded generally yes, however, the SOP allows a diver who feels he is properly trained to enter the water alone to save a life. For training and missions, two divers are the minimum. Council President Pro Tem Van Hollebeke asked where the diving gear was stored? Officer Kinney answered it is stored at the police station. As officers are not assigned to certain vehicles, storing the gear in a police vehicle was not practical. Council President Pro Tem Van Hollebeke thanked the Dive Team for their. efforts. Councilmember Plunkett thanked the Dive Team for their presentation. He asked the difference between the existing Dive Team and the former Dive Team? Police Chief Hickok explained previously there was a combined fire /police dive team comprised of eight divers; the Police Department now operates the Dive Team. The goal would be to expand the team to six divers. Fire Department staff is willing to join the team but firefighters are required to train on overtime. Police officers can train on comptime or while on duty, which reduced the cost center for the dive rescue team from $22,000 to $3,500 (not including equipment). He noted the higher number of divers increases the likelihood of a better response and is the reason they would like to expand to six divers. He noted the Fire Department also previously owned their own boat which included a $5,000 - $10,000 cost center for repairs each year; the Port now maintains the boat. Councilmember Miller complimented Police Chief Hickok and Assistant Police Chief Compaan for taking a politically charged situation last year and developing a solution that benefits the community. He noted that the Dive Team members were certified to depths of 130 feet and asked the depth of the underwater park? Officer Kinney answered the underwater park is 45 feet deep and the oil dock is approximately 130 feet deep. Councilmember Miller questioned if the Dive Team's certifications were sufficient to meet the needs of the underwater park and the oil dock? Officer Kinney answered he was not aware of any dive team that could dive deeper than 130 feet; a commercial diver would be required to safely dive deeper than 130 feet. 8.
