Meadowdale Beach Area AnnexationSTATE OF WASHINGTON OFFICE OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT Insurance Building, PO Box 43113 ® Olympia, Washington 911504-3113 0 (360) 902-0555 RECEIVED October 22, 2009 Dear City or Town Official: NOV 0 2 2009 (;ITY CLERK The Washington State Office of Financial Management (OFM) has developed an online central annexation tracking system to improve the delivery of government services. This web site, accessible at httR://www.ofm.wa.gov/pop/annex/eats/default.asp, is designed to provide a convenient location where federal and state agencies, local governments, organizations, and members of the public can obtain information about annexations. Section 508 of the federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973 requires agencies to provide individuals with disabilities and others with comparable access to information that is available to others. This law applies to all agencies when they develop, procure, maintain, or use electronic and information technology. While preliminary testing indicates that the new online centralized annexation tracking system is very convenient and effective, it can only succeed with cooperation from cities and towns. To this end, OFM is asking that cities and towns submit electronic versions of annexation ordinances, as soon as possible, in Word (or other comparable format). OFM will convert these into accessible PDF files and post them on the annexation tracking web site, updating them as appropriate. Please send electronic documents to Megan Berg at megan.berg cr.ofm.w_agov as soon as each ordinance is signed. Please note that this tracking system does not change or replace existing annexation reporting requirements specified in state law. For assistance or additional information, please contact OFM's Forecasting Division at 360-902-0599, or Megan at 360-902-3066. Thank you for working with us to improve the annexation tracking system. Sincerely, V, t A, -- Victor A. Moore Director recalled Council President Wilson stating the Council followed the law with regard to information on Council web pages, and recommended the Council adopt standards with regard to content. He pointed out information on Channel 21 states Council President Wilson is the Chair of Community Transit; however, Council President Wilson actually resigned that position in August. He expressed concern the City no longer was represented on the Community Transit Board. Council President Wilson responded he had hoped that the website standards would be complete by now but other issues have taken priority. He acknowledged Mr. Martin had filed a public disclosure violation alleging Mayor Haakenson, Councilmember Peterson and he had broken the law; the Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) found there had not been any wrongdoing. He found it necessary to resign from Community Transit due to the amount of time he devoted to the Levy Review Committee, Firdale Village zoning criteria and design standards, the I-1033 resolution and the FD1 contract. Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, commented the Council had apparently changed its rules and was responding to audience comment. He referred to Consent Agenda Item E, Authorization to call for bids for the BNSF Double Track Utilities Upgrade Project, and suggested the City require BNSF pay for the utility upgrade. He pointed out that project also included water mains at Brackett's Landing North and James Street, noting those would benefit the Al Dykes project. With regard to Consent Agenda Item G, Report on bids opened on September 14, 2009 for the Odor Control Improvement Project, he advised the $800,000 project was increased to $1.4 million of which the City would pay approximately $800,000. He questioned the Finance Department's recommendation to pay the $800,000 cost in cash rather than finance at the current low rates. He thanked Council President Wilson for releasing three attorney -client emails and requested the email between Mr. Snyder and Senior Executive Council Assistant Jana Spellman also be released. In response to Mr. Hertrich's comment about the Council responding to public comment, Mayor Haakenson advised there was no rule that Councilmembers or the Mayor could not respond to citizen requests/comments. In response to why he often did not respond to public comments, Mayor Haakenson commented he was accustomed to picking his battles. In response to Mr. Hertrich's comments about the City paying for the utility upgrade due to BNSF's double tracking, Councilmember Wambolt advised the City did not want to pay for the upgrade but was required to. 10. REPORT ON PETITIONS RECEIVED REGARDING THE "MEADOWDALE BEACH AREA" ANNEXATION. Associate Planner Gina Coccia explained the City received a request from residents outside the City interested in annexing. The "Meadowdale Beach Area" Annexation refers to an area within unincorporated Snohomish County lying east of 68th Avenue West. She provided the following information regarding the annexation area: • A "10%" petition to annex into the City of Edmonds was circulated in April and August of 2009. • 48 lots in the area. • 41 owners signed the petition. • The area is approximately 18.5 acres in size (roughly 0.029 square miles). • The total County assessed value (2009) for this area is approximately: $l 9,865,500. • The average assessed value is $413,864. • For a "10% Annexation Petition" to go before Council, owners making up at least 10% of the total assessed value of this area need to sign a petition (10% is $1,986,550). ■ Owners making up $17,313,300 or 87% signed the petition. Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes October 6, 2009 Page 16 The lots are developed with single-family homes built in the 1960s-1970s. The average parcel size is .38 acre (16,000 square feet). Most lots are .29 acres (about 12,600 square feet). There are 48 single-family lots (approximately 2.3 people per family = approximately 110 people). Per RCW 35A.14.120 the City Council needs to meet with the petitioners tonight to determine three things: 1. Whether the Council will accept the proposed annexation. The boundary is logical as it is a residential neighborhood adjacent to Lynnwood to the south and County Parks to the north and east. Staff sees no reason to adjust the proposed boundary. 2. Whether the Council will require the simultaneous adoption of proposed zoning regulations for the proposed area to be annexed. The County's zoning is R-9600 and Lynnwood's zoning is R- 8400. Most parcels are .29 acres. Staff feels establishing zoning as RS-8 (8000) would be the best fit and most consistent with the neighborhood. 3. Whether the Council will require assumption of existing City indebtedness by the area to be annexed. Staff sees no reason why the Council would not require this area to assume their portion of City indebtedness Staff recommends 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. Ms. Coccia reviewed next steps in the annexation process: • Move forward with a "60% petition"- staff drafts a new petition containing all required elements. • Signatures collected totaling at least 60% value. • Signatures certified by the County Assessor within 180 days of collection. • Council reviews the new 60% petition and decides if they will accept it. Meanwhile, potential zoning will be analyzed. • If accepted by Council, staff submits application to the Boundary Review Board (BRB) for decision. • If approved by the BRB, Council will finalize an ordinance. Mayor Haakenson advised former Development Services Director Duane Bowman began this process with the residents quite some time ago and at least one neighborhood meeting has been held. Councilmember Plunkett asked why Lynnwood or Mukilteo had not pursued annexation of this area. Mayor Haakenson advised Lynnwood's Planner came to the neighborhood meeting and accepted the residents' desire to annex to Edmonds. Mukilteo is not adjacent to the area. Councilmember Orvis commented although it appeared the density was being increased via the proposed zoning, in Snohomish County a duplex could be constructed on a lot and a half. Ms. Coccia advised the zoning would be analyzed further in the next steps. Mr. Snyder pointed out the Council was initiating the zoning process that would occur simultaneously with the circulation of the petition. Councilmember Wambolt asked if there were any known upgrades that would be necessary in this area. Planning Manager Rob Chave answered there are service agreements in place for police and fire in this area and residents would see no change in those services. The homes in the area currently have septic systems and Public Works will be working with them on an LID to connect to sewer service. Councilmember Wambolt observed the City would not be incurring a large expense for improvements. Mr. Chave agreed. Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes October 6, 2009 Page 17 Mayor Haakenson invited residents of the area to speak regarding annexation. Lewis Soraich, a resident of the area to be annexed, thanked Lynn and Mike Treseler for initiating the process of gathering signatures. He recalled 92% of the residents in the area supported annexation into Edmonds. He asked how many more times petitions would need to be circulated. Mr. Snyder answered this was the last time. The first petition required only 10%; the second petition must contain information regarding the simultaneous adoption of zoning and assumption of all bonded indebtedness. COUNCILMEMBER PLUNKETT MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WAMBOLT, 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. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 11. CITY OF EDMONDS WEBSITE - CITY COUNCIL WEB PAGES. This item was removed from the agenda by motion on Agenda Item 1. 12. DISCUSSION AND POTENTIAL ACTION ON ORDINANCE AMENDING THE 2009 BUDGET, Mayor Haakenson asked Interim Finance Director Lorenzo Hines to address Ms. Buckshnis' request that the Council not approve the ordinance amending the 2009 budget. Mr. Hines responded he met with Ms. Buckshnis within days of her raising the issue regarding the "missing" $2.2 million. He described to her the role of the annual financial statement versus the role of the current forecast, the City's cashflow statement. At the end of the meeting he asked her three times if he had answered her questions and she responded he had. That evening he received an email with more questions to which he had not had an opportunity to respond. He referred to Ms. Buckshnis' original email that questioned the $5.188 million less the emergency reserve that leaves $3.3 million which she felt should be the beginning balance reflected on the current forecast. He explained the $5,188 million was fund balance that was part of the income statement and balance sheet in the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). The formula is assets = liabilities + equity. The $5.2 million is equity; it is the overage of assets over liabilities as of December 31, 2008. That $5.2 million consists of five reserves in the General Ledger. In the private sector that is shareholders equity or owners' equity but in government it is fund balance. Ms. Buckshnis is attempting to reconcile the $5.2 million to the beginning balance in the current forecast of $977,000. The difference is the $5.2 million is the fund balance per the CAFR, the $977,000 is working capital; cash minus current liabilities. The working capital figure was estimated by former Finance Director Junglov in August 2008 and was included in the 2009 budget. As 2009 progressed, the $977,000 figure was revised in the outlook column to $1.341 million. Budget amendments must begin with the $977,000 figure because that was the number included in the budget. He will be refining the $1.341 million figure to determine the final beginning working capital. He summarized $5.188 million is fund balance per the balance sheet in the CAFR versus working capital of $977,000. It is a comparison of equity to a subset of assets and they will never match, Council President Wilson asked whether the audit determined the December 31, 2008 number. Mr. Hines responded the City's financial statements are on an accrual basis. When the books are closed as of December 31, accounts receivable and payable are estimated. As amounts are paid and received the working capital for January 1 is adjusted. Council President Wilson recalled the ending balance has usually been established by April. Mr. Hines answered this is the first budget amendment; had a prior Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes October 6, 2009 Page 18 AM-2528 10. Report on Petitions Received Regarding the "Meadowdale Beach Area" Annexation Edmonds City Council Meeting Date: 10/06/2009 Submitted By: Gina Coccia Time: 10 Minutes Department: Planning Type: Action Review Committee: 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 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]. 11-11 (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].

Recommends ion from Maor and Staff For information only. 15 Minutes Information Previous Council Action Narrative The City has been approached by residents in the north Meadowdale area regarding the possibility of annexing into the City of Edmonds. The area is located on the east side of 68th Avenue West, from 161st Place northward to Lund's Gulch and contains 48 properties. The area in question is located in unincorporated Snohomish County but is located inside the boundaries of the City of Lynnwood Municipal Urban Growth Area (MUGA) boundaries. Staff has been in contact with the City of Lynnwood staff and they are amiable to work with us on this issue. Staff from both cities are working on a joint resolution to present to the city councils of each city. Issues to be resolved include defining revised MUGA boundaries and creating a process to jointly review development projects that impact Lund's Gulch. Once a final version of a joint resolution is completed it will be brought back to the CS/DS Committee for review and recommendation to the full Council.

C. Discussion on potential Meadowdale neighborhood annexation. Duane Bowman provided background information on this topic. He noted thatthe city was 'approached by a resident in the small unincorporated pocket of land lying between Lynnwood and Edmonds on the east side of W' Adenue West, south of Lund's Gulch in the Meadowdale area. The residents circulated a petition to gauge interest of the residents to determine which city they preferred to annex to. A majority of the homes chose Edmonds. Staff contacted the City of Lynnwood and discussed the issue. Lynnwood agrees that if the residents would prefer to be in Edmonds they were not opposed, The next steps are for staff to look into utility issues and to draft a joint resolution for consideration by the city councils of Edmonds and Lynnwood. ACTION: No action taken, for information only. D. Code Rewrite Update: Organization of Zoning Cha ter Title 16. Rob Chave introduced this topic. The staff is currently working on the code rewrite and will soon be working on Title 16 of the Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) which contains the various zoning classiflcetions (RS, RM, CG, etc.). One consideration is to expand the use of a technique known as "form based zoning" in the Title 16 re -write. The benefits of using such a technique are a more streamlined code that is easier to use and understand due to the use of Illustrations, more clearly described design standards and clear, simple language. The City has actually been using a hybrid form of this over the past five years with the revisions in'the downtown and Highway 99 zoning where design standards were injected into the zoning code. Staff will work with the Planning Board to refine the concept and can do a presentation to the Council if requested ACTION: No action taken, for information The Committee meeting adjourned at 6:56 p:m. tct, w »H. it. i4u: Ltrecr peuuo. ztnou — ivouce to iegisiauve vouy iN tng — tis... rage t or t RCWs > Title 35A > Chapter 35A.14 > Section 35A.14.120 35A.14.110 « 35A.14.120 » 35A.14.130 RCW 35A.14.120 Direct petition method — Notice to legislative body — Meeting Assumption of indebtedness — Proposed zoning regulation — Contents of petition. Proceedings for initiating annexation of unincorporated territory to a charter code city or noncharter code city may be commenced by the filing of a petition of property owners of the territory proposed to be annexed, in the following manner. This method of annexation shall be alternative to other methods provided in this chapter. Prior to the circulation of a petition for annexation, the initiating party or parties, who shall be the owners of not less than ten percent in value, according to the assessed valuation for general taxation of the property for which annexation is sought, shall notify the legislative body of the code city in writing of their intention to commence annexation proceedings. The legislative body shall set a date, not later than sixty days after the filing of the request, for a meeting with the initiating parties to determine whether the code city will accept, reject, or geographically modify the proposed annexation, whether it shall require the simultaneous adoption of a proposed zoning regulation, if such a proposal has been prepared and filed for the area to be annexed as provided for in RCW 35A.14.330 and 35A.14.340, and whether it shall require the assumption of all or of any portion of existing city indebtedness by the area to be annexed. If the legislative body requires the assumption of all or of any portion of indebtedness and/or the adoption of a proposed zoning regulation, it shall record this action in its minutes and the petition for annexation shall be so drawn as to clearly indicate these facts. Approval by the legislative body shall be a condition precedent to circulation of the petition. There shall be no appeal from the decision of the legislative body. A petition for annexation of an area contiguous to a code city may be filed with the legislative body of the municipality to which annexation is desired. It must be signed by the owners, as defined by RCW 35A.01.040(9) (a) through (d), of not less than sixty percent In value, according to the assessed valuation for general taxation of the property for which annexation is petitioned: PROVIDED, That a petition for annexation of an area having at least eighty percent of the boundaries of such area contiguous with a portion of the boundaries of the code city, not including that portion of the boundary of the area proposed to be annexed that is coterminous with a portion of the boundary between two counties in this state, need be signed by only the owners of not less than fifty percent in value according to the assessed valuation for general taxation of the property for which the annexation is petitioned. Such petition shall set forth a description of the property according to government legal subdivisions or legal plats and shall be accompanied by a map which outlines the boundaries of the property sought to be annexed. If the legislative body has required the assumption of all or any portion of city indebtedness by the area annexed or the adoption of a proposed zoning regulation, these facts, together with a quotation of the minute entry of such requirement, or requirements, shall also be set forth in the petition. 11989 c 351 § 6; 1979 ex.s. c 124 § 8; 1967 ex.s. c 119 § 35A.14.120,] Notes: Severability --1979 ex.s. c 124: See note following RCW 35A.14.015.

Sandy was kind enough to squeeze in 10 minutes for the upcoming packed Tuesday 10/6 meeting for whatever we need to do to comply with the RCWs. On 05/13/2008 Duane informed the City Council Community/Development Services Committee that there was a potential for a Meadowdale area annexation. No action was taken; the item was for information only. LJ ,C-CommitteeMtg_( 5-13-08.pdf (... The meeting minutes indicate that "the next steps are for staff to look into utility issues and to draft a joint resolution for consideration by the city councils of Edmonds and Lynnwood." I uncovered some notes Duane took — looks like he's giving a speech on annexation proceedings... Likely from an October 2008 informational meeting that appears to have been held at the Meadowdale Community Clubhouse. DuanesNotes.pdf (67 KB) In January of 2009, Duane emailed Lynn Treseler to let her know that he has "10% petitions" for her to pick up for her use in gathering signatures. He says that the total assessed valuation of property in the annexation area is $19,865,900 and that she'll need to gather at least 5-6 signatures. He told her that we will schedule a meeting with the CC who authorizes the circulation of the 60% petition, and that ultimately it will move through the Boundary Review Board. DuaneEmail 01-21• 09.pdf (28 KB... On August 11, 2009, we received a stack of signatures from Lynn Treseler. 6 1 M 1� Applicantslnfo.pdf (96 KB) The stack of signatures is titled "Notice of Intention to Commence Annexation Proceedings" and they state: "It is requested that the City Council of the City of Edmonds set a date not later than sixty days after the filing of this request for a meeting with the undersigned to determine: (1) whether the City Council will accept the proposed annexation, (2) whether the City Council will require the simultaneous adoption of proposed zoning regulations for the proposed area to be annexed, (3) and whether the City Council will require the assumption of existing City indebtedness by the area to be annexed.." �>aM Petition.pdf (1 MB) 60 days from August 11th puts us before the Council by Tuesday October 6th. I sincerely apologize for not catching this. Sincerely. The MRSC Annexation Handbook (page 61 of 96) states: A. Initiation of the 60 Percent Petition Annexation (RCW 35A.14.120) Prior to circulating a petition for annexation, the initiating party or parties (the owners of property representing not less than ten percent of the assessed value of the property for which annexation is sought) must give written notice to the city council of their intention to commence annexation proceedings. B. Meeting with Initiators on the Annexation Proposal (RCW 35A.14.120) The city council is to set a date (not later than 60 days after the filing of the notice) for a meeting with the initiating parties to determine: 1. Whether the city will accept, reject, or geographically modify the proposed annexation; 2. Whether it will require the simultaneous adoption of a proposed zoning regulation, if such a proposal has been prepared and filed (as provided for in RCW 35A.14.330, and RCW 35A.14.340); and 3. Whether it will require the assumption of all or any portion of existing city indebtedness by the area to be annexed. If the legislative body requires the adoption of a proposed zoning regulation and/or the assumption of all or any portion of indebtedness as conditions to annexation, it is to record this action in its minutes. Council acceptance is a condition precedent to circulation of the petition. There is no appeal from the council decision. One last item I found in the file... It is a modified version of our development standards with the "RS-8" zone highlighted with a footnote indicating that is the zoning upon annexation, and that nonconforming structures that exist at the time of annexation are allowed to remain and be maintained. It DevelopmentStand ards.pdf (69 K... Rob points to the assumption of debt as an important point for the Council's discussion on Tuesday, because that information will need to be on the 60% petitions. I will leave another message with Lynn Treseler — she is the only contact for this file apparently, and the meeting will need to be before the initiating parties. I'm going to call Planning Manager Kevin Garrett at Lynnwood to keep him in the loop after I hear back from you on how to proceed. Marsha at the Boundary Review Board is out until Monday and apparently there is no one to assist in her absence. That's all I know — please advise — thank you!

The Committee meeting adjourned at 6:55 p:m. Good evening! My name is Duane Bowman and I am the City of Edmonds Development Services Director. I'd like to introduce Mayor Gary Haakenson and the other City staff present. From Public Works, Noel Miller T Director; from the Finance Department — Kathleen Junglov Finance Director; from the Police Department, James Lawless — Assistant Police Chief and last we also have a representative of the City of Lynnwood, Kevin Garrett, Planning Manager. The purpose for the meeting tonight is to give you an opportunity to discuss annexation of your neighborhoods into the City of Edmonds and ask questions. If we do not have an answer to your question, we will take your name and contact information and get an answer to you. I'd like to outline the annexation process and then we'll take your questions. Presently, Snohomish County includes these neighborhoods as part of the City of Lynnwood Municipal Growth Area, The City of Edmonds was contacted to see if Edmonds was interested in annexing the area into Edmonds. An informal petition was circulated in the neighborhoods which showed a majority of residents more interested in annexing into Edmonds. Based upon this petition, the City of Edmonds staff contacted the City of Lynnwood staff regarding the possibility of annexing the area into Edmonds. The City of Lynnwood has agreed to support annexation of the subject neighborhoods into Edmonds. So how will this occur? Step 1 - Circulate a petition representing at least 10% of the assessed valuation of the area. Step 2 - Once the 10% petition is reached, set a date to meet with the City Council. Step 3 - Meet with the City Council to: 1. Whether the city will accept, reject, or geographically modify the proposed annexation; 2. Whether it will require the simultaneous adoption of a proposed zoning regulation, if such a proposal has been prepared and filed (as provided for in RCW 35A.14.330, and RCW 35A.14.340); and 3. Whether it will require the assumption of all or any portion of existing city indebtedness by the area to be annexed. If the City Coucnd agrees they authorize the circulation of a 60% petition. Step 4 - The Cities of Edmonds and Lynnwood notify Snohomish County of our intend to modify our municipal growth areas. Step 5 — Upon receiving comment from Snohomish County, Edmonds will initiate a Comprehensive Plan amendment to incklude the annexation area in our comprehensive plan. Lynnwood initiates an amendment to their comprehensive plan removing this area. Step 6 — Upon receipt of the 60% petition, a public hearing will be held by the City Council. Step 7 — File a notice of intention with the Boundary Review Board of Snohomish County. If the Board does not invoke jurisdiction, the proposal is deemed approved. Step $ — City Council passes ordiance annexing the neighborhoods. There will be no change in your Fire service. Edmonds Police will patrol your neighborhoods. Now we will open it up for any questions. Chase, Sand From: Bowman, Duane Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2009 2;33 PM To: 'lynn_treseler@comcast, net' Cc: 'Kevin Garrett'; Chave, Rob; Chase, Sandy Subject: 10% Annexation Petition Importance: High Lynn, The petitions can be picked up at the receptionist desk on the second floor of City Hall. They are on 11" x 17" paper so they are awkward to mail. I made more than enough for you to use just in case. I have prepared the 10% Petitions for your use in gathering signatures. The total assessed valuation of property in the annexation area is $19,865,900. The average assessed valuation of a property is $400,400. You need to get a minimum of five to six property owners to sign the petition. I recommend that you strive to -get way more than that. Once you have gathered the signatures, you turn the petitions into the City Clerk. We will set up a file and schedule a meeting with the City Council, who authorizes the circulation of the 60% petition. Ultimately you will need over 30 property owners to sign petitions to move the annexation forward to the Boundary Review Board. I will be retiring on April 2, 2009 but Rob Chave, Planning manager will take over the annexation after that. Call me if you have questions.

Site development exceptions: (See 16,20.040 for more complete discussion) • Average Front Setback. If a block has residential buildings on more than one-half of the lots on the same side of the block, the owner of a lot on that block may use the average of all the setbacks of the existing residential buildings on the same side of the street as the minimum required front setback for the lot. Detached structures such as garages; carports; and uncovered porches, decks, steps and patios less than 30 inches in height, and other uncovered structures less than 30 inches in height shall not be included in the "average front setback" determination.

Uncovered and unenclosed porches, steps, patios, and decks may project into a required setback not more than one-third of the required setback, or four feet, whichever is less; provided, that they are no more than 30 inches above ground level at any point. • Corner Lots. Corner lots have no rear setback; all setbacks other than the street setbacks shall be side setbacks. *** Zoning upon annexation NOTE: Nonconforming structures that exist at the time of annexation are allowed to remain and be maintained.
