P.C..Resolution No. 330
EXHIBIT "A"
A great many residents opposed this proposal on the basis of the
potential loss of view out over the Sound. The construction of tall
buildings along the waterfront will destroy the small town character-
istics of Edmonds which are desired by'the.residents. The proposed
reduction in the off-street parking requirement would cause serious
on -street parking problems. Adopting the proposed regulations would
not benefit the City.
