Mayor Naughten said the insurance coverage for the police would also be completed shortly. Mayor Naughten noted that a·· 1 etter of thanks had c·ame from ~esi dents on Northstream Lane for the new lighting; Councilmember Hall remarked that she had also received thanks from them in person. , '. The Mayor congratulated Martin Burns arid Leslie Hanson on receiving a Certificate of Competency as Water Distribution Specialists 1 fro~ the Washington State Water and Wastewater Operator Certifi-cation Board of Examiners. Mayor Naughten said the new meeting format would be discussed on May 8 and during the Saturday morning review. He asked for clarifi~ation of the reasons for placing Culture and Recreation under Suppqrt Services. Councilmember Kasper explained the rationale for recommending that alignment, stati~~ that building and grounds should be under Community Services with other Public Works• asp~cts, while Culture and Recreation is a program aspect dealing with revenues, ~se of the compu-ter for scheduling, etc., which would fit under support services. The Mayor reminded everyone the Town Hall Meeting is May 1 and thanked Mr. Bowman for the design of the notice •. Mayor Naughten proclaimed May 1, 1984 as Edmonds Garden Clubs Appreciation Day in recognition of the work done by the Floretum Garden Club, the Algoma Garderi Club~ and the Puget Sound Garden Club of Edmonds. He encouraged all citizens to participate in the annual planting party and the ceremony at 11:30 at 5th and Main. The Mayor proclaimed the week of April 29 through May 5, 1984 as Alcohol and Drug Abuse Awareness Education Week in conjunction with Snohomish County. Mayor Naughten presented an application for transfer of a liquor license from old Milltown Food & Beverage Emporium to Old Milltown Tenderloin House, a class H license. The application has been investigated and approved and the Council would recommend approval or disapp.roval of the license which goes to the State for final approval. COUNCILMEMBER DWYER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, THAT THE APPLICATION BE RECOMMENDED FOR FORWARDING TO THE STATE FOR CONSIDERATION AND , APPROVAL. MOTION CARRIED. COUNCIL Student Representative Stewart reported that he would be:atteriding the Youth Board meeting on April 25 when summer activities would be discussed. He also drew attention to the letter from Tambi Shaw regarding a survey taken by students at Edmonds High School. He asked what was happening with Edrftd'nds High School closure. Councilmember Hall replied that the forecast is for closure in 1985. Councilmember Hall expressed her hope that all the council members would read the letters from Bill Blume, Allen Saab BMW and Budget Rent-a-car. She was contacted by Bob Campbell last week. The businessmen felt they had not put their best foot forward and were concerned:that they could not speak before the Council again. She suggested they write letters, which they have done. Meetin~ adjourned to executive: session at 10:15 p.m. LARRYS:NAHfEN' Mayor ' May 1, 1984 The second "Town Hall" meeting was called to order at 7:30 p.m. by !Vlayor Larry Naughten .in Daces Auditorium .. ·The meeting was co-soonsored by _the B~llinger Community Club. All present joined in the flag salute. PRESENT Larry Naughten, Mayor Jo-Anne Jaech Steve Dwyer ~ur..a Ha 11 '8i l l Kasper John Nordquist Lloyd Ostrom Brian Stewart ABSENT , Jack Wilson INTRODUCTION AND EXPLANATION OF MEETING FORMAT STAFF PRESENT Pat leMay, Personnel Director Jim Adams, City Engineer Jack Weinz, Fire Chief Dan Prinz, Actq. Police Chief Steve Simpson, Parks & Rec. Dir. Bobby Mills, Actg. Pub. Wks.· Supt. Art Housler, finance Director· Mary Lou Block, Planning Director Jim Jessel, Property Manaqer Jackie Parrett, City Clerk John Wallace, City Attorney Shirlie Witzel, Recorder Mayor Naughten welcomed everyone to the Town ,Hall meeting and explained the pur~ose and format of the meeting. He then introduced the members of the Council ,and City Staff members. He thanked Carol Chapman, President of the Bc;illinger Community Club, and the members of the club for their help in advertising the meeting. 3.74~ May l, 1984 -continued AUDI ENCE · Patrick Halstead, 23601 79th Ave. W., asked for an answer to a complaint submitted to the City two weeks ago regarding garbage not being properly disposed of by a neighbor .. He asked when action would be taken, adding that his dog had encountered a rat this evening, both animals being much the worse for wear now, and he noticed the rat retreating in the.direction of the garbage. He then thanked the police for their excellent response in regard to traffic problems on the street. Actinq Police Chief Dan Prinz responded that he did not understand why the qarbaqe complaint had not been handled more promptly. These matters are generally taken care of the same day, by the'·followinq day. at I the latest. Chief Prinz said he would check with the Animal Control person on Wednesday. Bert Stoke, 23525 74th Ave. W., wanted to know if the $350,000 to clean Lake Ballinger had been spent. The only time anyone can swim is during May and June; after that there a~e so many weeds no one can dive from the dock or. swim. He said he had also noticed a very large.area of oil near his beach ~s a result of the run-off from the surrounding arterials and Aurora Village. He asked if any filters were planned for the drains into the lake. City Engineer Jim Adams re- plied that the milfoil problem would probably have to be controlled by the property owner, but he would check with King County engineers. Regarding the oil, he noted that the lake drains I parts of King County, Mountlake Terrace and Snohomish County as well as the areas mentioned. He added that new developments are required to install oil separators. The older areas do not have the separators and the City is slowly getting them installed. He said he would check with the State regarding the highway on the south side of Lake Ballinger. A member of the audi~nce aqain raised the question of the money spent on the project. Mr. Adams said the project was administered by Mountlake Terrace and suggested questions be directed to them concerning th.e amounts spent. Councilmember Kasper noted the project extended from Lake Ballinger to 218th St. S.W. and included channelization, weirs and the cleaning of Halls Creek. Marilyn Waterman, 24129 Beeson Pl., asked why an added assessment for waterfront property was reflected on tax bills this year. A member of the.audience replied the assessment was for mainte- nance of weirs in the lake. He added that only the lakefront property owners pay this, while Mountlake Terrace has a huge park.used.by hundreds of people and they are not assessed. He noted that it was an unfair tax. Andy Husak, 8027 242nd St. S.W., spoke regarding concerns about the closing of 242nd St. S.W. He had expressed these concerns before the City Council and had spoken with G. John Daces. He hoped the residents of the street and the City could work together to effect a closure of this street. He also commented on a previous proposal before the City Council to make the area into a mall, saying he was glad the plan had been defeated. He asked if the neighborhood could be informed of progress in the area, i.e. use of land, permits applied for and issued, etc. He commented that the attitude of people in the neighborhood is constructive and would be aided by obtaining reliable information. Mayor Naughten responded that a letter would be forthcoming regarding the codes and their enforce- ment. The Mayor said there were some things that had to be taken care of and those are being done. All irregularities have been noted and are being corrected. Mr. Husak reiterated that the citizens have a right to information concerning their neighborhood that is pertinent to the environment. Councilmember Hall said this was Mr. Husak's opportunity to be specific and present his ideas. Mr. Husak said he believes the City has more controls over land use than by just a contract with built- in methods within the code which should be applied fairly. He said the area should be used rather than pushing stumps around and pushing gravel against the trees. The trees.will be subject to rot and will be lost in a windstorm within five years. Another concern is traffic because of the speed on the street and the children in the area. Bob Boye, 24325 76th Ave .. W., said he had three items to discuss. First, he expressed thanks from the people in the Ballinger area for the cooperation, help and assistance rendered by the City Cou~cil during the past two years while Ballinger residents have resisted the Metro bus barn project at Holyrood Cemetery. He added that Council support exceeded their expectations. The Holyrood Cemetery site is still one of three or four sites still in contention and; he noted, the area may have to call on the Council again this fall. Second, the Ballinger area expressed appreciation for the efforts of Councilmember John Nordquist during the past years. Mr. Boye noted Councilmember Nordquist had served on the Council for 17 years. Third, he solicited response from the Council concerning studies made on Highway 99. He mentioned the study done by John LaTourelle;in.·wli.ith the entire commercial district along Highway 99 was addressed. He said the major recommendation of this study was to raise height restrictions on Highway 99 to 100 feet or be completely unre~' stricted. He asked for response from the Council regarding removal of the building height along ... Highway 99. A follow-up study was conducted by Reid-Middleton dealing with sewage, traffic, ; drainage, etc.· He asked for Council response on several recom~endations: l. That 236th be made into a minor arterial between 84th Ave W. and 76th Ave. W. widening the road to 44 1 -60 1 right-of- way which would cut through the middle of the Ballinger area. This would include 228th St. S.W. becoming a 44 1 -60 1 . right-of-way street. 2. The study also sugge$tS that 76th Ave. W. be made into a four-lane highway and Mr. Boye asked for response on traffic that would be generated by this change. 3.· The storm run-off is also addressed, with new lateral lines being put into existing lines, but nothing is said about any storm drainage interceptors~ leaving Lake Ballinger as a receptacle for anything that might drain into it. Mayor Naughten mentioned that Mr~ Boye is a member of the Edmonds Planning Board. Councilmember Nordquist responded that the City had requested a four-way flashing light at the intersection of 236th and 76th but receJved two red and tw~ y~llow signs and consequently asked Mr. Latourelle to include the intersection in his study. Regarding 228th, Councilmember Nprdquist said, two :· different p~oposals had come before the Council to extend 228th between Highway 99 and 76th Ave. w~ Both times the Council turned the proposal down because the City owns only half a street and would have to buy the other half from the Putt-Putt golf course. In his .opinion, the Council would not look favorably on extending 228th St. S.W. In regard to the Highway 99 question, Councilman Nordquist said, a buffer strip was maintained between the residential and commercial zones when the area was first annexed in 1963 or 1964. S. S. Kresge had wanted the site for a K-Mart before Daces built the present structure. He noted that there were fewer pieces of property available for development as time progressed and verticaJ. development should probably be considered on an individual basis. I I I I I I I I May l , 1984 -continued Th~ hospital ~as a challenge at 110 1 but people.reccignized the need and ac~epted the height. He ·noted· that the study on Highway 99 is not completed· and the Council is .waiting to see what is presented. Mr. Adams· responded to the question of surface run-off, ·noting that Edmonds requires that the rate of rud-off for any new development be no greater than .the rate prior to development; therefore,- constrictors are i~stalled to control the rate of run-off. In addition, new developments are re- quired to .install oil separa.tors. As. a result, water run-off and pollution are being controlled· better than in the past. Mr. Adams: also said the City has not been able to enforce proper mainte- nance ~f these installations but that he had set a goal to police those installations and get an ordinance through this year. Councilmember-Ostrom co~mented on the height restrictions on Highway 99. He said the Council would welc6me imput on the subject from the people affected. Recent public hearings have not been well attended by resid~nts in the area; and he suggested that people respond to any future hearings and let the Council know what they think. Councilmember Hall commented on a tour around the area taken by the Council about a year and a half ago. She said she would like to take a good look at the issue, believing there may be some merit to rai~ing·th~ height. She als6 sugg~sted that resident i~put would be very helpfu~ in the-decisi-0ns that will ha~e to· be made. · Bert Stokes, 22535 74th Ave. W., asked how high a building could "be before it would present a serious fire hazard. Fire Chief Jack Weinz.replied that high-rise buildings are designed with protection systems in the building. The highest piece of aeria-1 equipment in the area is 100 1 • Seattle also has only 100 1 high aerial equipment and their buildings are much higher. High-rise building con~truction is very strict and is well controlled. Councilmember Hall commented.that~ she had felt much as Mr. Stokes felt, but Chief Weinz had convinced her that the protection systems are built into the high-rise buildings. ··Vern Elder, 22701 -?8th Ave. W., had noticed ·the concern people have for the building heights on Highway·99, the Doces property, and the condition of Lake Ballinger. However, he said, people tend to forget in ·regard to Highway 99 that it is not the highest point around and that there are areas of Highway 99 that are not controlled by the City. The likely area, he said, .for less height restrictions is on Highway 99. It is a commercial district and should be treated as such with certain advantages given to developers to build.with adequate height,to regai~:their-costs over a short·period of tiine. People tend to forget that.a compromise is necessary between surrounding · property owners and the commercial developer. He expressed his hope that people would keep in mind that the City has orily so much authority and ¢~n only control Highway 99 on the east side from 240th to 220th. By being too restrictive in building and height requirements, the City will discourage the areas on the west from annexing. Ed Bahr, 23004 75th Ave. W. ~ asked if the City Attorney resided .in Edmonds or Seattl~. City Attorney John Wallace said his office was located in Seattle. Mr. Bahr· asked why the City of Edmonds had to·go outside the City to find an attorney. Mayor Naughten explained that Mr. Murphy; of the firm of Ogden, Ogden, and Murphy, lives in Edmonds. The firm deals with nine municipalities and specializes in municipal law.· The City retains them on an annual 'basis, since it is less ex- pensive to obtain legal consulting in that manner than to hire an attorney for 8 hours a day. In addition the City is receiving good' legal counsel·. Mr. Bahr then noted that-opening 238th St. S.W. as an access from the freeway to 76th had made 238th a feeder for·75th and 75th feeds 236th with a great increase in traffic. He said they have tried repeatedly to have radar traps set up for speeders. Mr. Bahr noted that the police department had been effectively dealing with burglaries and thieve~, but cooperati~n on the traffic in the area leaves much to be desired. Another problem noted by Mr. Bahr is the intersection of Highway 99 and 76th. In the evening there is traffic backed up on 238th and 76th and in the morning there is traffic on 76th feeding from Highway 99 to 205th St. He said the speed limit should be at least 35 mph rather than the present 30 mph. Lastly, he noted that they are being assessed 50% of their sewer bill for building other sewers. Mr. Adams replied that residents ar~.charged $14:91 as a cost for sewer service, which pays for running -the sewer ,(both storm and sanitary sewers), for new storm sewers in the city (including· two in Mr. Bahr' s neighborhood), .upgrading the sanitary system and is paid by every homeowner in the City as a bas·i-c rate for that service. When a new system goes in to serve a new area, that is paid for by the people served by the new sewer. Doug Rogers, 23627 Z4th Ave. ·w., .asked if the disappearance of mallards is connected with the shooting of the coots and mudhens by Mountlake Terrac~·when they·purchased the golf cour~e. He said he still hears shotguns early in the ~orning and wondered if Mountlake Terrace is still shooting birds and if there are any coots left. A member of the audience said·he had seen someone shooting mudhens but had not seen him shoot any mallards. Mayor Naughten suggested that the question be raised before the Mountlake Terrace City Council. Mr. Rogers also said it was good to have the town meeting. · Bob Williamson, 23731 74th Ave W., asked t1ayor Naughten if anything had been done regarding closure .of the access off 74th Ave. W·; ·to Lake Ballinger during the night to prevent some of the problems that are occurring. ·He said he believed the access should be abandoned; if that is not possible, it should be closed during the night. Councilmember Hall asked Parks and Recreation Director Steve Simpson if there had been ariy recommendation on util i~zation of the area. Mr. Simpson reol ied that the Recreational Sites Study recommended no action on small streets ending at· the water. Planning Director Mary Lou Block commented that the Shoreline Management Act may preclude the closing off of public access to the Lake since the purpose of the -act is to increase access to the water. Wanda Williamson, 23731 74th Ave. W., said there is no parking for that access except on the road since 74th is not wide enough now for two cars to pass in front of the access road. People are parking on private property to fish or use the access. She asked that the City provide parking if the access remains ope~ for public·use. Mr. ·Williamson said that since there is now a suitable access to -the lake at the park in Mountlake Terrace, he ~ondered if the access in auestion could not be closed in :spite of the. Shoreline· Management Act. Mr. Wallace said there were li.niitations upon· the City's ability to vacate the access since it is abutting on water but there would' be no l imita- tions on regulating access the same as any other park. May l, 1984 -continued Fritz Broggeman, 23737 76th Ave. W., said he didn't understand what problems there were at night. Mr. Williamson invited Mr. Broggeman to go with him to the access and he would show him broken beer bottles, damaged fencing, and a number of people late at night who party there. Mr. Husak said he had used the area and wondered if it was a State Game fishing access. Mr. Williamson replied that at one time it was a County road within 15 1 of the water, the last 15 1 owned by Mr. Ballinger when he owned the island. Mr. Husak said he had parked under the pine tree across from the access and·had not realized it was private property. He agreed that the City should look into controls on the access. Mayor Naughten called a ten minute recess at 8:37. Following the recess, Mayor Naughten invited further questions from the ~udience. Councilmember Jaech asked City Clerk Jackie Parrett to review the hearing process since several people had asked how they would be notified of any hearings. Ms. Parrett responded that signs advertising the hearing are posted in the general area of concern, notices are also posted at the Library, the Post Office·and in the lobby of the·Publi.c Safety Building. These notices will contain the date, time and place as well as the subject of the hearing. In addition, a Council agenda and minutes are sent to the President of the Ballinger Community Club. Council agendas are published in the Herald every Monday, also. Mayor Naughten introduced Cindy Altick of the Edmonds View, the new Edmonds paper. . . Mr. Husak said the property he had mentioned earlier is also being used as a dump and he asked the City to check on the area. Elizabeth Mathay, 8006 240th St. S.W., thanked the Council for meeting with residents of the : Ballinger area. She noted, however, that it is difficult to obtain information about the City. She suggested that an information center be esta.blished in the Library or other easily accessible area. Councilmember Hall mentioned that any citizen may leave a stamped, self-addressed envelope at the City Clerk's office and any items they wish will be mailed to them. Councilmember Jaech suggested talking with the Library about keeping a binder of Council and all Board minutes.which would be readily accessible to citizens. Councilmember Hall .asked those .present to help the City to work with Sno-Isle in getting this information since the·City does not own the Library. Ms. Parrett mentioned that the material which the Council receives for consideration at their next meeting is posted in the lobby of the Public Safety Building. The material contains previous meeting minutes, the agenda and extended agenda, and background information on the items on the agenda. I I Gordie Lindstrom, 23511 74th Ave. W., asked what the Council feels about the pocket of County land lying within the City; and if it is possible for the City to actively encourage annexation. Mayor Naughten responded that annexation had been discussed earlier in the day. He noted that the City should determine areas of priority for annexation, where the City can provide better service than I the area is presently receiving. Mr. Wallace indicated that nothing prohibits the City from aggres- sively pursuing areas for annexation. Mayor ~Jaughten pointed out that several business areas along Highway 99 want to annex but are waiting until the sign code has been determined. The Mayor said the City is interested in annexations and realizes the need for annexations in order to keep the tax base varied and revenue increasing~ Councilmember Kasper noted the:City has a policy of encouraging annexations down to 1/4 blocks. For the past three years, he said, the staff have been approaching businesses and working with them on their problems and reasons for not annexing. The City does~1 t feel it would be very costly to annex these areas, since most of the areas are presently covered by interlocal agreements. In some areas it would be an advantage to the City. In response to a question from the audience, Councilmember Kasper said ~he City is presently servicing the sewer district of Olympic View Water throuqh the Edmonds sewer treatment plant and some water lines are inter-tied for back-pressure for fires. The area is integrated to the point that not much would change except where the billing goes; and, in some areas, that would not change until the annexed area was large enough to absorb Olympic View Water. Jim Chapman, 23321 75th Ave. ~J., asked what type of ordinance the City has concerning maintenance of property, such as residential homes that have junker cars or the upkeep is very poor. Mr. Wallace replied there are ordinances relating to the 'abandoned hulks' although the Supreme Court has ruled on this recently, and some changes may have to be made in State legislation to effectively be able to get rid of the junker on private property. Also, accumulaticins of garbage, that constitute a potential hazard to the public health, safety,. and general welfare, may be regulated by the City. In terms of general maintenance of grounds, he said, the City has very little power unless the grass reaches a height and dryness that could constitute a fire hazard. He noted that anything consti- tuting a public hazard can be regulated, including refrigerators from which doors have not been removed and animal pens when the owner does not properly maintain them. Councilmember Nordquist asked if an ordinance exists pertaining to uncompleted construction, which would give the City power to require completion. Mr. Wallace replied that the City has only the building code unless there is a hazard of some type. He said there is nothing that requires completion of a building. Pat Eldridge, 7717 200th St. S.W., asked if there is a policy regarding the maintenance of planting strips. She mentioned areas on 76th and Main Streets that are not well kept. Mr. Wallace responded that maintenance of sidewalks and planting strips are the responsibility of the property owner. The City can mow the public right-of-way, i·f found necessary. · Mr. Husak asked if the code required that a house be compatible with the surrounding area. Mr. Wallace said the City has specifically not attempted to regulate single family residential build- ings, although it does regulate multi-family building. Mr. Husak then asked if trees are not regulated by ordinance concerning removal or topping of substantial trees. Mr. Wallace replied that there is regulation of trees during new developments; however, once that house is in private I I I I I I I May l, 1984 -continued ownership, the owner may do what he wishes ~ith th~ tree. Mr. Husak referred to the trees he had mentioned earner and asked if something cOuld not be done about those trees before they are de- stroyed with wet rot. Councilmember Dwyer answered that if the tree reaches a state where it is a public nuisance, the tree could be removed. Mr. Husak asked, if it could be shown that the gravel -collaring the tree constitutes a potential hazard, whether steps could be taken; rather than waiting for -the tree to.blow down. Councilmember Dwyer replied that there is no more reason to wait for the tree to blow down than to wait for a child to be trapped in a refrigerator. If hazard can be shown, steps could be taken. Carol Chapman, 23321 75th Ave. W., spoke concerning tree cutting in the neighborhood and the ' resulting burning and wondered if permits were required. Another .. concern she mentioned was regard- ing traffic. There has been an increase in traffic and speed since their streets have been paved. She asked if islands could be constructed at intersections to slow traffic. Councilmember Jaech said curb work had been used to slow traffic in Seattle areas. Ms. Chapman then asked what pro- cedu.re was necessary to have that type of thing done. Mr. Adams said, in the Seattle area, neiqh- bors petitioned the Council and then paid for the islands or curbs. He suggested the City might provide a design for the citizens' use, if the Council decided that was something they wanted done, then the residents of the neighborhood could form an l.I.D. or other program for payment. Regarding Ute burning, Chief Weinz suggested Ms. Chapman check with the Fire Department to see if proper permits have been issued and, he said, the Department would also like to know if the burning constitutes a nuisance. Gordie Lindstrom asked if the City would provide a design specification for the.traffic control islands being discussed, enabling the residents -Of a neighborhood to do this easily. Mr. Adams reiterated that would be a Council decision. Several members of the Council expressed support of the idea, with the reservation that the total effect of any island or curb work on a particular street would have to be considered. Vern Elder asked how these~islands would affect the speed of traffic on 76th. Mr Adams said the speed would necessarily be reduced. Ms. Chapman clarified that she had been referring to side streets off 76th, not to 76th Ave W. proper. Doug Rogers noted that the storm drains were installed on the high side of the road where 236th meets 74th and asked if the City could do something about the water run-off. Mr. Adams replied they would look at it on Wednesday, May 2. Priscilla Reuble, 23319 75th St. S.W., thanked the Council for the time and energy spent in coming to the meeting this evening. She also asked Chief Prinz to pass along to his officers her appreci- ation of the patrols in the area and encouraged them to keep up the good work. Mayor Naughten thanked the audience for their presence and participation. He also introduced Brian Stewart, the Student Representative from Woodway High School, who h~d joined the meeting after the earlier introductions. The Mayor asked those present to bring any other qu~stions they miqht have to Council meetings every other Tuesday evening when audience participation is part of the agenda. During that time anyone may speak about anything they might like. He assured those present that questions raised this evening would be addressed by City staff.
