Mayor Pro Tem Plunkett explained the Council’s policy has been to maintain summary minutes; the
practice has been to include verbatim comments on occasion upon request.
COUNCILMEMBER WAMBOLT MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER ORVIS, TO
APPROVE THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF MARCH 25, 2008 WITH THE
VERBATIM ADDITION REQUESTED BY NATALIE SHIPPEN.
Council President Pro Tem Dawson clarified the verbatim comments to be included were as prepared by
City Clerk Sandy Chase.
Councilmember Wilson read the verbatim comments: “I’m going to pass so that other Councilmembers
can ask questions but I do want to take the opportunity after that to express my vision to you all while we
have you in the room about what should be down there. Before and since the other four parcels that were
developed in the Work Group of 33, there were only two I believe that had any support in a vote for 6 to 8
stories, and then 6 to 10 stories. In my view as a participant of that, I think both of those proposals would
be dead on arrival in a public process. So I want to make sure that my vision is conveyed so that you
don’t plan a ten story building which would not, just wouldn’t get us anywhere. So, with that I will pass
until later.”
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
3. PROCLAMATION IN HONOR OF PUBLIC EDUCATION FOUNDATION MONTH, APRIL 2008
Councilmember Wilson read the proclamation declaring April 2008 as Public Education Foundation
Month and presented it to Debbie Bodal, Vice President, Public Education Foundation, along with a
member of the Foundation. On behalf of the Public Education Foundation, Ms. Bodal thanked the City
for proclaiming April as Public Education Foundation Month. She looked forward to involving other
cities in the Edmonds School District. She invited Council to their fundraiser April 23 at the Lynnwood
Convention Center. A member of the Foundation explained the Foundation gave $40,000-$45,000
annually back to students’ classrooms via grants requested by teachers in the Edmonds School District.
Ms. Bodal advised further information was available via the Public Education Foundation website.
4. DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN AREA - WATERFRONT ANTIQUE MALL, HARBOR SQUARE
AND SKIPPERS PROPERTIES: (1) THE PUBLIC IS INVITED TO SHARE COMMENTS
AND/OR IDEAS ABOUT REDEVELOPMENT OF SUBJECT AREA. (2) THE CITY COUNCIL
MAY DISCUSS POSSIBLE NEXT STEPS.
At Mayor Pro Tem Plunkett’s request, City Clerk Sandy Chase listed emails/letters the Council had
received in the Council Office and the City Clerk’s Office: John Quast/Laurie Dressler, Brian & Betty
Larman, Marie King, Melissa Baker, Vickie@insurancefinancing, Jan Stevens, Darlene Newquist, John
Heighway, Joan Bloom, John C. Davis, and Kristin Kelly, Futurewise.
In the interest of allowing audience members time to express themselves, Mayor Pro Tem Plunkett
suggested the Council remove the three minute limit and leave the time limit to the discretion of the
Chair. It was the consensus of the Council to allow some leeway in the time limit.
Councilmember Wambolt commented the Council had received a number of emails/letters. He noted a
great deal of work had gone into several of them including drawings of what they would like to see on the
properties. Unfortunately, most were based on the City owning the property. He pointed out the City did
not own the property today and it was highly unlikely the City would ever own it. He acknowledged
anything may be possible on the Port property although the Port had no plans to redevelop for at least ten
years. The owner on the Skipper’s property has said he absolutely will not sell the property to the City,
Packet Page 6 of 466
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
April 1, 2008
Page 3
that he purchased it recently and planned to do a commercial development there. With regard to the old
Safeway property, owned by Edmonds Shopping Center Associates (ESCA), the City received a price
from the owners for the land of $16 million. Although some questioned whether it was worth that
amount, that was the terms under which the owner would sell the property. He was uncertain where the
City would obtain $16 million and if the property did not appraise for $16 million, the City could not pay
that price as the City could only purchase property for its appraised value. He expressed the hope that
speakers would provide the property owners and Councilmembers with suggestions regarding what they
would like to see on the properties when they were commercially redeveloped.
Councilmember Bernheim disagreed with Councilmember Wambolt, expressing his interest in hearing all
options for the property.
Tim Stensland, Teacher, Edmonds-Woodway High School, Architectural Program, explained the
impetuousness for their project was concern with development of the sites, the last pieces of valuable
property. He anticipated it would be possible to create a viable and monetarily resourceful project, that
would attract visitors, provide a tax base for the City, and provide value for the owners and tenants. He
agreed with Councilmember Bernheim that if the community had a vision, there were resources available
to make a development happen. He explained both projects the students would present would require a
cooperative effort between citizens and property owners. Both projects were designed, not as introverted,
standalone projects but to radiate out to the community, extend existing pathways and enhance existing
historical aspects. He noted they listened to all the concerns/comments expressed over the last six months
and used them as a checklist for their design.
Robert Edgar, Student, Edmonds-Woodway High School, explained in September the students were
provided various options for a project for the year and selected a redesign of Edmonds. They began by
looking at the existing site and reviewing the community’s comments.
Matthew Peri, Student, Edmonds-Woodway High School, explained after preparing sketches and
preliminary designs, they visited the site . He described their tour of the site, beginning at the north at the
Brackett’s Landing area where they took into consideration the pathway in Brackett’s Landing and the
flowing berms in the park. Moving north, they realized a connection toward the fountain would be
important. They also considered how to maintain view corridors on the site, incorporating the corner of
Dayton and Sunset as a gateway and connecting the adjacent treatment plant site into their project.
Michael Putnum, Student, Edmonds-Woodway High School, explained their tour also included
Harbor Square and what they felt the community needed on that site. He commented on the fitness club,
hotel, the boardwalk they intended to open up as well as an appropriate site for a grocery store.
Mr. Edgar described their research of the history of Edmonds including native tribes, early settled
Edmonds, and the railroad, explaining their design included Native American art as well as a way to make
the project attractive to visitors on the train. Their design was for the old Safeway site, and would
continue onto the Harbor Square and the Skippers sites. Mr. Putnum explained their design was for
indoor/outdoor retail on the bottom level, a front area that connected with the treatment plant, a main
entrance with tide pools on top, a courtyard with a fountain-of-time that would shoot up every hour, a
sculpture park on top that would showcase local art, and pathways connecting to Brackett’s Landing. He
explained their design provided view corridors for the community via a natural amphitheater over the
parking that would overlook Puget Sound and the mountains as well as a covered boardwalk façade
facing the railroad to welcome riders to Edmonds.
Mr. Stensland invited the community to look at their design tonight or at Edmonds-Woodway High
School. He summarized with a united community, it was possible to develop something that the
Packet Page 7 of 466
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
April 1, 2008
Page 4
community owns, was proud of and that could fulfill the needs of the developer and tenants. He
explained the next design addressed flooding via a retention system.
Evan Langendorfer and Grant Roeter, Students, Edmonds-Woodway High School, explained their
design, Brackett’s Village, incorporated a European design combined with an Edmonds modern look and
included the Harbor Square, Antique Mall and Skippers sites. Their design would combine the three sites
to make a financial and recreational thriving Edmonds. They envisioned buildings would be strategically
scattered on the site with a mix of retail, office and condominiums, and a canal that was an extension of
Puget Sound. The canal also served as a water retention system and addressed the problem of seasonal
flooding. They retained the existing viewlines with buildings no taller than the existing Antique Mall.
The three sites were connected via the canal and similar facades. The village would also include
recreational areas such as fountains and the wetland and would recognize Edmonds’ past. They
envisioned 100,000 square feet of retail/office on the Antique Mall site and 45,000 of living space,
underground parking, and sky bridges that provided easy access between buildings. The Skippers site
was designed as a public market with an open, covered shelter area for year round use. The Harbor
Square site would be updated to match the Antique Mall site, the boardwalk extended, and a central road
added to improve access.
Noting that the students had prepared a PowerPoint presentation, Councilmember Bernheim requested a
hard copy of the Brackett’s Village PowerPoint be provided to the Council.
John Reed, Edmonds, a member of CG33, advised his presentation was made on behalf of Alliance of
Citizens for Edmonds (ACE). In September 2007, when the property owners presented four increasingly
taller versions of an urban village concept, it was clear many citizens were not satisfied with the property
owners’ ideas, and concerns were expressed with potential building heights. There were also concerns
raised regarding the lack of open space, who would/would not be drawn to the area, competition with
downtown merchants, density and traffic issues. ACE shared many of these concerns with the Council at
that time and asked the Council explore acquisition of the parcels as well as revisions to the
Comprehensive Plan to more thoroughly define what would benefit the community on these properties.
In preparation for this presentation, ACE sponsored two special meetings in March to discuss
redevelopment ideas facilitated by Dick Van Hollebeke.
Dick Van Hollebeke, Edmonds, congratulated the Edmonds-Woodway High School students on their
very creative ideas. He advised his comments combined two perspectives, as a member of the CG33 and
as a facilitator of the ACE meetings. He explained the ACE meetings focused on these properties in an
effort to make a recommendation to the City Council regarding viable options available to the City for
redevelopment of the property. ACE is comprised of people with the same interest, background and
public concern as the members of CG33. He commended Chris Keuss, Executive Director, Port of
Edmonds, for the excellent job he did conducting numerous public meetings and creating a 43-page
summary document of those meetings which was available on the Port’s website. As a longtime member
of the Chamber of Commerce, he noted the ideas of both the CG33 and ACE were in sync with the
Chamber. ACE, which included four CG33 members, asked him to share their reaction to the owners’
proposal after receiving citizen input - disappointment. He referred to the plans the owners presented as
big, bigger and biggest or tall, taller and tallest, remarking they were told that the taller buildings would
allow wider pedestrian promenades between structures as well as pedestrian overpasses from the parking
garage. However many of the ideas of public gathering places and open green spaces were ignored
because they did not fit into the overall scope. He summarized a list of ACE’s comments that referenced
gathering places, iconic places, connecting downtown, arts, environment, build green, LEED certified,
parking garage with green elements, rooftop garden, and public involvement.

Mr. Van Hollebeke summarized there was no rush to get the design complete in the next few months;
there was time and the City was in control of what was developed on the site as the current zoning was
unsatisfactory to the property owners. He recognized the property owners’ right to expect a reasonable
profit, pointing out 75% of the property was already in public ownership by the City, the Port and the
Washington State Department of Transportation. As a former member of the City Council, he recognized
the challenge and opportunities that developing this area represented. The Council had a unique
opportunity to create something special that would impact the City and its citizens for generations. He
urged Council not to be afraid to be bold and imaginative. At the conclusion of the last ACE meeting,
there was unanimous agreement that the City should control or acquire the privately held properties. He
introduced Bill Angle, who had led, constructed and managed a series of highly successful public/private
development projects totaling over $750 million, every project completed on schedule and on or under
budget, advising Mr. Angle has offered to assist the City and staff free of charge.
Bill Angle, Edmonds, commented there was no rush as it was uncertain how the Comprehensive Plan
would work with regard to Edmonds Crossing and as Mark Hinshaw stated last week, the old models may
not be accurate in view of increasing gas prices, etc. He noted the failure of commercial development on
this property strongly suggests the economics for redevelopment did not work and that there was time to
ensure development was done properly. The City owed the current owners nothing but a fair ability to
develop their properties under current plans; if the current property owners made unwise investment
decisions, the City and its citizens had no obligation to enhance the value of the properties unless the
enhancement also met City and citizens’ desire via a contract rezone. He explained a contract rezone
required a high quality developer, a specific development plan that arose via a public process that
included representational schematic drawings, achievable financing plans, schedule for development and
construction, and a formal contract that requires performance of the developer within a time certain.
Mr. Angle referred to Mr. Gregg’s presentation at last week’s Council meeting, questioning his ability to
achieve platinum LEED certification, pointing out he had not presented a financing plan or schedule. As
this developer had unfortunately demonstrated his willingness to sue the City as an element of his
business strategy, he urged the City to exercise great care in negotiating a contract rezone and to create a
written negotiation protocol. He offered to assist staff in preparing the protocol free of charge. With
regard to the value of the property should the City consider acquisition, he pointed out no development
had occurred on the site due to difficulty developing under current regulations and the owner of the
Antique Mall has indicated the zoning limitations was the problem.
Mr. Angle noted the planning exercises of the CG33 began with assumptions regarding the value of the
property and identified various zoning densities and building heights that would achieve those assumed
values which was a backward approach from the City’s perspective. The most likely way for the City to
ensure the property was developed in a manner that was in the citizens’ best interest was to control the
properties, an approach taken by the cities of Kent and Burien in recent public/private projects. He noted
most planners would agree this was the best approach if the community had the political support and the
money. He urged the community to visit the Kent Commons to see what they accomplished with a
public/private approach. He disagreed the City would not afford to purchase either or both properties,
commenting Edmonds was a well-to-do town with a fabulous downtown that could be extended to the
waterfront.
Barbara Tipton, Edmonds, referred to the Edmonds Harbor Square and Antique Mall redevelopment
study and analysis performed by Hebert Research which considered sales data for condominiums
constructed between 2000 and 2005. She disagreed future growth could be extrapolated based on 2000-
2005 data due to the recent downturn in real estate. She also questioned the suggestion in the study that
baby boomers wanted to live in commercial spaces above their own businesses. She described soils on
the site, “Mukilteo muck,” a soil comprised of decomposed sedges, reeds and rushes, easily saturated and
Packet Page 9 of 466
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
April 1, 2008
Page 6
poorly drained, and prone to puddles of standing water. This was exacerbated by the high water table and
lengthy rainy season. She referred to the potential for liquefaction, the process of transforming a soil
from a solid state to a liquid state, noting the impact this had during an earthquake. She noted a
significant portion of the site was rated as highly prone to liquefaction; therefore, not well suited for large
development.
Ms. Tipton pointed out few residents were interested in a 4-6 story urban village, observing this issue had
galvanized the public as evidenced by letters to the editor, ACE membership and citizens speaking at
Council meetings. She shared her vision for Harbor Square site: work with the NW Steelhead and
Salmon Council and the Audubon Society to build an educational center near Willow Creek, build a link
trail from the fish hatchery to the Edmonds waterfront, develop a plan for the marsh that may provide
trails including pedestrian entry from the sidewalk on SR 104, restore the marshes, ponds, bogs, etc. on
the Harbor Square site, and create demonstration gardens with native and drought resistant plants via
partnerships with wildlife groups, Master Gardeners and Snohomish County Audubon Society. She urged
Council and citizens to read Section 7 of the City of Edmonds 2004 Best Available Science report that
addressed fish and wildlife conservation areas and recommended a buffer zone around environmentally
sensitive areas. Next, she shared her vision for the Antique Mall site that included a Native American
museum, transportation museum, railroad museum; reasonably priced bistros and cafes; low profile, green
structures; courtyards; seating areas; and plazas. Her vision for the Skippers site was a new Edmonds
Visitors Center with public art throughout the site. In addition to a continuous shoreline walkway from
Brackett’s Landing to Pt. Edwards, she suggested consideration be given to a pedestrian overpass from
the Senior Center to the museums and another spanning SR104 connecting City Park with the Edmonds
Marsh. She recommended the City contact the University of Washington College of Architecture and
Urban Planning Department and invite the students to develop a conceptual plan for these sites,
envisioning they could develop a plan that reflected the vision of the citizens that incorporated the natural
features and history of Edmonds. She also submitted written comments.
Darrell Marmion, Edmonds, urged Council to avoid a sense of frenzy and to take their time to do this
right. He displayed a map of the Downtown Master Plan area, recalling the message provided by the
property owners during their presentations with regard to the timeline for development of their sites: Port
property - wait and see, Antique Mall property - soon, and the Skippers property - now. He referred to a
map of the area, identifying properties the City owned including rights-of-way, the Senior Center, and
City Park; property controlled by government entities including the Port and WSDOT; and areas in
private ownership. He pointed out the areas in private ownership were controlled by the City’s zoning
codes which the property owners have indicated were unsatisfactory. He summarized the City had full
control with regard to moving forward and it was important to take the time to do it right.
Bruce Faires, Edmonds, speaking as a resident, shared insight he had developed over the past several
years and in particular the past 18 months. With regard to the economic feasibility/viability of the
redevelopment alternatives, he noted the data generated by the Port and property owners reached the
following conclusions: 1) With first floor ceiling height and the water table only allowing two story
buildings, economics were such that surface parking would be required. He noted this resulted in an
economic contribution to the City not much greater than the present situation, virtually no public
amenities and little improvement in the existing aesthetics of flat roofs with HVAC equipment visible
from the hillside. 2) If the zoning, etc. allowed three functional stories with parking under the structures,
the economics were such that structured parking, reasonable retail, commercial and residential could be
provided but very little open space, limited public amenities and no building height modulation. The
parking structure design would be building-by-building and for properties with enough depth to allow
interior streets and pedestrian walkways, the back wall of the building would be the back wall of the
parking structure, preventing retail, restaurants or commercial on interior streets/lanes and no funds
without public subsidy for things such as railroad passes. 3) If zoning allowed a modulated mix of 3-5
Packet Page 10 of 466
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
April 1, 2008
Page 7
stories above parking, there would be sufficient economic resources to provide public areas and
amenities, a continuous parking tray under groups of buildings that would allow retail, restaurants and
commercial storefronts on interior streets/lanes, and provide developers the flexibility to provide view
corridors.
Mr. Faires recommended any development respect and maintain view corridors on the site. He pointed
out private/individual views were different; the volume of space above whatever zoning was applied to
this area belonged to the public and the City Council had the authority to deal with it in the best interest of
the community. He acknowledged if the properties were redeveloped in a balanced and reasonable
manner, some individuals’ views would be impacted. Although that was regrettable, it was the Council’s
responsibility to act in the community’s best interest not in the interest of a few who had been using a
public resource for their enjoyment. He recommended Council consider not only the viewpoints
expressed by audience members but also how their decision would affect residents of Edmonds 20-50
years into the future.
Virginia Redfield, Edmonds, a member of the CG33, objected to the concept of an urban village
proposed for the waterfront development for the following reasons: 1) permitting greater density than the
existing code allowed negated the ambiance of the current town, 2) taller buildings with parking
structures beneath were not attractive and would contribute to the already congested parking situation, 3)
view corridors of Puget Sound and the mountains would be obliterated, and 4) the Edmonds bowl would
become “skateboard bowl.” She envisioned high quality retail and services could be constructed within
the existing code; such businesses would generate revenue to meet the City’s needs. As this did not
support the price the owners asked for the property, it was the responsibility of the owners to adjust their
price as property was a commodity that rose and fell with market conditions. She pointed out one
property owner purchased his property with full knowledge of the existing code. She urged the Council
to investigate and examine Mr. Hinshaw’s assumptions and conclusions and employ other experts as Mr.
Hinshaw had been hired by the property owners last summer. She also urged the Council to consider
other seaside communities such as LaConner or Des Moines.
David Thorpe, Edmonds, pointed out the 1995 Comprehensive Plan identified this area as an activity
center, commenting as unfortunate as growth was, it was happening and would have to be addressed. He
pointed out the private property owners must abide by the zoning laws the City established and although
the public was interested in an area that fostered activity, business, open space, the property was privately
owned. He agreed it was unlikely the City could purchase this property for $16 million as well as lose the
sales tax revenue that development could produce. He noted the Comprehensive Plan also incorporated
view corridors and waterfront connections for these sites. He pointed out the developers’ interest in profit
and questioned Mr. Gregg’s indication that the project was not intended to be a legacy but was
entrepreneurial and he did not plan to wait for the codes to be written. He commented growth was
inevitable, whether at one of the neighborhood centers or downtown, and it was important to recognize
the need for give and take and tradeoffs. He summarized what happened in the spaces between buildings
was more important than the buildings themselves.
Bill Bickel, Edmonds, commended the Edmonds-Woodway High School students for their presentations.
He acknowledged something would be built on the site. He referred to Mr. Gregg’s presentation at last
week’s Council meeting, commenting that by combining Mr. Gregg’s enthusiasm with the City’s and the
citizens’ enthusiasm, something spectacular could be developed. He was excited about the potential of a
platinum LEED building on the site, noting the development would have more impact in the future on the
people who were children now. He referred to Lora Petso’s presentation last week of a brick wall on the
Gregg site, acknowledging that was not what the public wanted. He envisioned development on the site
could be spectacular via everyone’s cooperation.

Tom Pirie, Edmonds, thanked Mr. Van Hollebeke and Mr. Angle for the information they provided. He
commented if high school students could develop proposals that understood the need to preserve the
commercial/retail space and allow for sidewalks, open space, parks, fountains and room for art, imagine
what could happen if they were used as consultants to the architectural firm hired to develop the site. He
noted this was a great opportunity to share space, provide profit for the owner, and build something
exciting for the City. If a spectacular development was constructed, the commercial and the visitors
would come.
Garrett Latham, Edmonds, pointed out the potential for this site to be something like Pike Place
Market. He urged the community to design the development for the future, for the children. He noted
development of this site had the potential to provide youth places to go, have fun, be safe, and relate to
adults.
Natalie Shippen, Edmonds, anticipated when a final waterfront development proposal was submitted to
the Council, there would be a shipwreck caused by the obstacle of building heights. The Council has
implied they would grant height increases in exchange for aesthetic and environment improvements. Mr.
Gregg has identified view corridors for his future request in exchange for a code relaxation and arguably
view corridors would allow the arrangement of taller buildings in a manner that allowed additional open
space. She recalled the height dispute arose over 30 years ago; she did not think then or now that height
was about views but about scale. Residents of Edmonds like a low building profile and justifying height
increase based on view extension, open space or LEED designation was unlikely to persuade a
compromise. Time has shown there was no win-win solution to the height disagreement. Before the train
wreck and the resulting deadlock occurred, she recommended Council consider an alternative plan. She
agreed with Mr. Gregg’s comment that the public had a large stake in the property; therefore, she
recommended the citizens be provided an opportunity to purchase the entire 6.5 acre parcel bordered by
Main, Dayton, SR104 and the railroad. The decision would be made by popular vote before the Council
made any decision on any code revisions or granted any permits for that area.
To explore the costs associated with the purchase, Ms. Shippen suggested the immediate establishment of
a five member task force appointed by the City Council and comprised of three members from CG33 and
two ACE members which would provide a group of informed, interested residents who were already
current on earlier discussions. Their role would be to collect information a voter needed to make a
decision. She summarized the opportunity to acquire invaluable property happened infrequently;
opportunity coupled with initiative happened even less frequently. She cited the efforts to acquire the
Senior Center in the early 1960s and the acquisition of Brackett’s Landing South as opportunities seized
by leaders. The Council and the citizens now had a similar opportunity to acquire their own Central Park.
Karen Wiggins, Edmonds, urged Council not to wall off the waterfront by increasing the current height
limit at the Skippers, Antique Mall and Port properties. She pointed out the current view down Main and
Dayton of mountains and Puget Sound. She noted a contract rezone that allowed increased heights would
severely damage views from properties to the east as well as change the feeling from a low rise downtown
to just another town. If the site were developed as previously presented, she pointed out views down
Dayton and Main would be of a wall of buildings at or higher than the Ebbtide Condominiums. She
suggested Council imagine buildings of the height of the Ebbtide on these sites from Harbor Square to
Main Street. She also pointed out the traffic from proposed redevelopment added to existing ferry traffic,
remarking there were no guarantees the ferry terminal would ever move from its current location. She
envisioned a beautiful development could be accomplished under the current codes as demonstrated by
the high school students’ presentations and had been accomplished at Mill Creek Town Center,
University Village, the outdoor area of Alderwood Mall and Redmond Town Center.

Next Ms. Wiggins referred to Mr. Gregg’s presentation that envisioned his development extending onto
property owned by WSDOT. She urged the Council to consider the neighbors of the proposed
development as well as the potential negative impacts on this historical area of the city. She pointed out
few customers would walk four blocks to reach the downtown area. She relayed a conversation with a
downtown merchant who indicated she supported redevelopment because she would simply move her
business to the new development. She referred to Mr. Gregg’s plans to seek LEED certification,
questioning why he had not sought that on his other two buildings downtown or for Old Milltown. She
envisioned he was offering LEED certification as a “carrot” to appeal to an environmentally concerned
citizenry in exchange for increased heights. She concluded a rezone of the property would result in a
short-term fix for Edmonds’ financial problems with severe long term negative consequences on the
community. She noted the citizens in recent years had voted out every Councilmember or Mayor who
supported even a 3-foot height increase downtown. She urged the Council not to increase the height
limits and maintain the low rise downtown that the community loved. She supported redevelopment of
the properties under the current codes.
Linda Bontecou, Edmonds, commented last week’s presentations by the developers provided no new
information other than an indication a green building and open spaces would be constructed on the
Skippers property in exchange for increased height. The property owners reiterated their desire for a
height increase and their intent to have their development process underway by yearend. She pointed out
tall buildings created shade and wind and many of the condominium owners would not want the public
“playing in their yard.” She recalled plans for Pt. Edwards included public walking paths along the bluff,
open spaces and viewpoints, noting once constructed, the residents did not welcome the public walking in
that area. She acknowledged the City needed to accept increased population but questioned the need to
accommodate all of it within the next five years on the only remaining unique property between
downtown and the waterfront and envisioned other areas could better accommodate increased heights.
She recalled photographs displayed last week of sidewalk cafes and outdoor spaces to emphasize the
importance of the first floor to the vibrancy of the area. However, due to the high water table in this area,
much of the first floor would be consumed by parking. She preferred a landscaped surface parking lot to
unattractive, first floor, structured parking. She summarized these were just a few of the problems with
the developers’ proposals and encouraged the Council to be wary. This was a wonderful opportunity for
the elected leaders of the City to add to the gem that was Edmonds. She urged the Council not to increase
the height limit and wall off the waterfront.
Alan Macfarlane, Edmonds, recalled his mother saying if you had to put up with the rain and gray, you
better have a view of the mountains and water. He was wary of the “tail wagging the dog,” pointing out
the adverse affect that a group/row of tall buildings would have on bowl views as well as property values.
If building heights were increased, views from any property below 6th Avenue South would be impacted.
He urged the Council not to allow tall buildings in this area to ruin Edmonds. He concluded the number
of people that attended the March 25 Council meeting as well as tonight’s meeting indicated the
community’s strong feelings and objection to increased building heights.
Lyn Macfarlane, Edmonds, commented Edmonds was a gem because of the open space at the
waterfront and she feared sacrificing that would have unexpected and undesirable results. She
recommended retaining the existing heights, not blocking the views of people who chose Edmonds
because of the views, and not reducing property tax revenue via lost property value. She favored stunning
shops rather than big box stores, waterfront-centered restaurants, meeting places and parking in the
waterfront area including a garage on the WSDOT property. She also recommended the City require all
the development be indoors and mimic the design of the old hotel in Edmonds, visible in photographs at
the Edmonds Museum.

Bob Brown, Lynnwood, Vice-Chair, South County Senior Center, thanked the City for its $60,000
contribution in 2008 for operating the Senior Center. He assured the four new officers and the Board of
Directors would work hard to continue to earn the trust of the Council’s and all the members of the South
County area. Speaking as a private citizen he explained any property redevelopment in the waterfront
area would impact the current location of the Senior Center; therefore, the members were very interested
in any redevelopment plans. As a retired Edmonds School District teacher, he commended the high
school students and their teacher for their design proposals. He commented the waterfront redevelopment
was important to current citizens but also to future generations. He encouraged the Council to be
visionary in this process, acknowledging the difficultly of planning 10-50 years in the future. He urged
the Council to consider what the City would be like in 50 years, what kind of people would live here, and
what citizens would want, noting the redevelopment of the waterfront was one of the most important
decisions this Council would make. He urged the Council to be deliberate, thoughtful, to take adequate
time, not rush to judgment and give the process their total involvement. He recommended retaining the
current zoning and existing building heights. He urged the Council to consider environmental issues; the
area’s rainy, windy climate; and that view corridors between taller buildings often created wind tunnels.
Janice Freeman, Edmonds, complimented Council and the staff for bringing Mark Hinshaw, an
internationally recognized expert on urban living, into the discussion regarding the waterfront
development, for his advice regarding the direction the city should proceed and the benefits of such an
approach. She recommended the Council should weigh the benefits against the risks; potential risks
include climate change and the possible increase in the sea level. She quoted from a report by Governor
Gregoire s Climate Action Team, “Leading the Way on Climate Change, the Challenge of Our Time”
dated February 2008, “…it is vital that state and local governments avoid putting facilities and residences
into relatively undeveloped areas that are at significant risk to sea level rise.” She commented the
community dialogue was missing the advice of an expert on sea level change in Edmonds, noting this
expertise was available via the University of Washington Climate Impact group. She urged the Council
not to overlook this important aspect and to do adequate due diligence.
Robert Freeman, Edmonds, expressed support for Mrs. Freeman’s ideas. Due to the momentum behind
the development, he presented his vision of how development might occur, first, by the end of the period
of development citizens will be able to look at the area and perceive a unified, harmonious, whole that
was at least reasonably in harmony with the more densely settled portion of the Edmonds bowl. He
emphasized that the appearance of a unified, harmonious whole mattered more than building style or
height. The current pattern of multiple ownership posed a problem that must be overcome to avoid the
“plopped down” style of development as has occurred in many areas of rural, unincorporated Snohomish
County where multiple developments with little common architectural features appeared to be plopped
down next to each other without any consideration to how they looked next to each other. He
recommended the City take a strong leadership role to bring about and enforce an agreement that would
result in a unified, harmonious whole. This would require a long term contract to provide the community
assurance that that the result would be as planned and would ensure the developers/owners that what was
planned would not be taken away by future changes to the Comprehensive Plan.
Second, he was impressed by the proposal to achieve the highest LEED standard for the former Skippers
property and although that was a great beginning, it was only 1.5 acres. He noted the organization that
promotes LEED recently developed LEED for neighborhood development LEED ND, a rating system
that integrated the principles of smart growth, urbanism and green buildings with national standards
regarding neighborhood design. Factors of LEED ND include enhancement of wetlands, proximity to
water and wastewater infrastructure, transportation facilities, groundfield development, solar orientation,
certified green buildings, etc. He urged Council to create a development plan for these three properties as
well as the adjoining Edmonds Marsh, Edmonds wastewater treatment plant which could be powered by
Packet Page 14 of 466
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes

Page 11
solar energy in the future, and the remaining property at the former Unocal site to create one of
Washington’s first LEED neighborhood development areas.
Fred Bell, Edmonds, President of the South Snohomish County Historical Society, commented
approximately two weeks ago he heard a rumor that the house at 6th & Main had been sold and the new
owners were willing to give the house to anyone willing to move it. He noted although the Museum
would love to have the house for an annex that was unlikely to occur. As a result they were seeking a site
for the building, preferably on 4th Avenue North between Main Street and the Edmonds Center for the
Arts; thus far no vacancies have been identified. Acknowledging that development of the waterfront
parcels was inevitable, he requested the Council dedicate a portion of the land to a heritage village. He
had envisioned the house at 6th & Main relocated to the Skippers property and used as a welcome center
and/or multi-use facility, pointing out it would be the first thing people exiting the ferry would see and it
would be visible down Sunset Drive. After learning the Skippers property had been sold, he suggested
relocating the house to the WSDOT parking lot. He summarized the Historical Society would continue
seeking a location for the house and hoped the community would assist them.
Mark Ukelson, Seattle, a business owner on the waterfront, commented despite differences of opinion,
everyone wanted Edmonds to evolve into a strong community with quality services. He noted when
describing what made a strong community, most people identified their home, the schools, the parks, the
restaurants, shops as well as the quality of the City’s services. He pointed out the importance of mixed
use to building a strong community, mixed use that included services, offices, open spaces, walkways,
artwork; everything that people did during the day and built in a manner that encouraged the public to
connect with one another. He noted the properties were currently developed with only buildings and
parking lots indicative of strip malls which tend to isolate communities, keep people in their cars and
prevent them from connecting with each other and are not environmental. He cited Lynnwood as an
example of strip mall development, doubting that a strong community like Edmonds wanted a strip mall
on this site. Recognizing there were many people adamantly opposed to any changes in the zoning that
would allow taller buildings, he pointed out that using building height as a criterion for creating a strong
community was the wrong conversation as the issue was not buildings but connecting the community. He
noted the existing buildings on the waterfront were 3-5 stories, many of them constructed when
Edmonds’ population was lower. The population of Edmonds in 20-30 years would be significantly
higher and redevelopment should provide an environment that allowed the community to connect. With
regard to the quality of the City’s services, he pointed out the increase in the cost of services was
outpacing the ability to tax citizens and eventually those services would be reduced or eliminated. If the
citizens wanted a strong tax base they needed a development that promoted that. He pointed out for small
businesses to prosper, they needed not only customers who work and shop at the development, but also
people who lived in the development who shopped or used services in the evening.
Ruth Shimondle, Edmonds, observed the plans were presented as a solution to future population and job
growth and she questioned how the plan involved Edmonds as a whole, such as neighborhoods like
Westgate or Five Corners. She questioned how those areas were involved and why efforts were
concentrated only on the bowl when growth would occur everywhere. She commented Edmonds was a
beautiful place and could be the Sausalito of the north. She envisioned this unique site could be
attractively developed even under the current building heights. She was impressed with the high school
students’ proposals.
Lora Petso, Edmonds, advised the slide she displayed at last week’s Council meeting of the brick wall
on the Skippers site was available via the City Clerk. She thanked the high school students for their
fantastic projects and encouraged the Council to retain some of their great ideas such as the elevated
amphitheater, the art in the arrival area and creative ideas for handling stormwater. She hoped those
concepts could be incorporated into development of the site. She urged the Council not to accept
Packet Page 15 of 466
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
April 1, 2008
Page 12
condominiums over retail at this location unless forced to by a totally code compliant plan. She noted the
Comprehensive Plan called for a mix of uses at the site and did not require mixed use such as
condominiums/retail. She anticipated accepting that development pattern would kill downtown and/or
force merchants to move from downtown to this development. Pedestrian corridors and view
preservation were a great solution on the south portion of the property along with
cultural/tourist/museum attraction/heritage village/sports fields.
Ms. Petso noted the wrong way to achieve community needs would be to accept a “puny little pedestrian
feature” along Main Street in exchange for towering condominiums that shadow the feature. The right
way to achieve the community’s needs would be to work with one or more property owners that
recognized the community’s needs and would create a development that put the public first. If that was
not possible, she recommended the City purchase the property via a combination of REET revenue, land
swapping, grant funding, etc. As the use of REET revenue was restricted to projects identified in the
Capital Facilities Plan, she recommended the Plan include a Waterfront Master Plan property acquisition
line item, a Waterfront Master Plan development line item, a Cultural tourism project line item, drainage
facility or sports field on the south property to make the projects eligible for REET funding. She
questioned recent projections that REET revenues would be less than $1.4 million, pointing out the Park
Acquisition fund received $750,000 over fixed expenses per year. With regard to the second half of
REET which also generated $1.4 million per year, she noted Council chose to devote funds in excess of
$750,000 to transportation. She envisioned the difference between $750,000 and $1.4 million was more
than the Council anticipated would be necessary for transportation projects. She also questioned the “red
herring” that the City could not afford to maintain the property and that public ownership would eliminate
revenue. She envisioned the $2000-$3000 in property tax revenue per unit could be more than made up
by revenue from visitors coming to play soccer on the fields or coming to a development as spectacular as
envisioned by the high school students.
Joan bloom, Edmonds, member of the CG33, expressed concern with statistics that supported an urban
village. She pointed out the difficulty of predicting what Edmonds would be like in 10-30 years,
envisioning fiber optics would bring an influx of young people. She was also concerned with the
environment, and referred to the policy proposed by Councilmember Wilson last week regarding green
development. She pointed out it did not matter how green a building was, the environment where the
building was located also needed to be considered. One of the ideas from the ACE meetings was
daylighting a stream through the properties to Puget Sound, similar to the canal concept. She
recommended consideration be given to the serious drainage problem on the site. She expressed concern
with parking and traffic created by 750 residents of an urban village in an area that already had parking
and transportation issues and recommended transportation issues be addressed before any development
occurred. She displayed a phased development for the site where the Skippers site would be a
museum/heritage park/visitors center; the Antique Mall site would be a destination with public market/
arts studio/craftsman on the first floor and a public park and eateries on the top floor. She also envisioned
a stage, a play area for families, wading pool, rooftop café over the visitors center, bike and walking
trails, overpass to the Senior Center, shuttle from downtown to the waterfront and to each neighborhood
and parking in the Harbor Square area or WSDOT property. The second phase would include an urban
village with slightly taller buildings on the Harbor Square site. She clarified the first phase would be two
stories within current heights
Alvin Rutledge, Edmonds, commented on the increasing popularity of the game cricket, envisioning it
may take 4-5 years to reach the United States. He stressed the importance of providing a gateway and a
destination such as a cricket facility on this site.
Bob Rinehart, Edmonds, thanked Mayor Pro Tem Plunkett for his prompt and encouraging response to
his email regarding the importance of civility in this dialogue. He commended the Council for the
Packet Page 16 of 466
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
April 1, 2008
Page 13
statement they developed with regard to this area and their pledge to be proactive, work collaboratively,
and move forward expeditiously with this public process. With regard to positions, he commended the
Council for soliciting, listening to and respecting the numerous ideas proposed by the community. He
was concerned that several of the citizens’ positions had been stated in a manner that gave the impression
they were entrenched positions and he was uncertain how the community could come together if people
were unwilling to compromise. With regard to realism, he commended Councilmember Wambolt for his
opening remarks that brought clarity to the discussion. He urged Council to continue that effort,
commenting although there had been many good ideas expressed, money talked. If the intent was to
purchase land, construct and maintain buildings using taxpayer money, he recommended the community
be provided further information regarding the bottom line. With regard to process, he commented
although this had been a great opportunity for the community to state their wishes, he questioned if the
winner was the one that was the most mobilized, the most organized and was able to make the most
frequent presentations to the Council. He hoped Council could find a better way to reduce the well
intentioned positions into a way of moving forward.
Mayor Pro Tem Plunkett commented the Council kept track of citizens’ comments via the minutes, the
meeting broadcast and the audio tapes.
Michael Mestres, Edmonds, commented it was his understanding that should the upcoming EMS levy
pass, it would fund 75% of emergency medical services in Edmonds. The remaining 25% would come
from the City’s General Fund. He was certain all would agree that a fully funded, robust EMS, police,
fire and public services were essential to Edmonds. At the opposite end of the spectrum was the
Edmonds Center for the Arts (ECA) that fulfills the Comprehensive Plan’s intent of creating culturally
significant facilities for the benefit of all Edmonds residents. The ECA was a valuable cultural
centerpiece that the City was fortunate to enjoy; however, for the ECA to thrive and grow, significant
funding from citizens and the government would continue to be necessary. He noted an energized
cultural facility such as the ECA was essential to the citizens of Edmonds as were streets, sidewalks,
parks, streetlights, reserve funds for repairs and when construction costs escalated, etc. As a member of
the WG33, it was his sense that the single most important aspect of the Harbor Square neighborhood
district, more than views or heights, whether to maintain existing zoning or what city uses would be
proposed, was how the City would pay its way in the future. He pointed out citizens could only be taxed
to a certain level, bonds/levies were a possibility but not as policy, and grants required City matching
funds. Whether an urban village or a redesigned strip mall was developed on the site, the City continued
to face great economic challenges. He did not envision Harbor Square would be the single economic
boon that would fund the city’s many needs, but limiting the potential of Harbor Square was counter-
intuitive to the real needs of Edmonds in the coming decade.
Heather Marks, Edmonds, referred to the Project for Public Spaces website, an organization that had
done work throughout the world on creating communities. One very relevant section was “Where
Waterfronts Go Wrong” that outlined eight common problems. She highlighted one problem, that too
often decision-makers hungry for solutions latched onto uninspired designs and development plans that
restricted public views. She noted the high school student’s plans addressed many of these problems.
She highlighted another problem that a process driven by development and not by the community. Many
waterfront planning efforts were led by development corporations; but when development was the
primary objective, public goals and public process got left behind. As with any public space the
knowledge and desires of the community should be the framework for changing waterfronts.
Development was a necessary part of the process but not the only point; it should fit within the
community’s vision not override it. She urged the Council to visit PPS.org to read the recommendations
regarding successful waterfronts and how development could go wrong.

Susan Paine, Edmonds, referred to the students’ proposals, in particular the one with the green
amenities, the art park, connections to the train and public transit that captured the concepts of
sustainable, green development that low impact development could bring to the City. She noted the use
of natural features such as the bioswales was an excellent way to address the difficult water problem on
the site. The development would provide people a designation and address retail space needs, the
connection to the water, providing a walking environment in a downtown area, and bring people into the
City. She did support any changes to the current zoning or the existing heights, noting the students’
design captured the community’s vision in a very appropriate manner. She encouraged the Council to
consider water flows on the site and allow opportunities for pervious pavement so that development did
not create water problems that burdened City systems or created transportation problems. She
commented on difficulty reaching the train station last year due to water problems.
Rebecca Wolfe, Edmonds, a volunteer for the Sierra Club and Futurewise, spoke for herself as well as
Kristen Kelly, Futurewise, who was unable to attend tonight’s meeting. She noted the Sierra Club’s top
priority was to stem global warming. She pointed out Mayor Haakenson had joined the U.S. Mayor’s
Climate Protection Agreement and formed a citizen’s Climate Protection Committee, a group of citizens
interested in doing what was best for Edmonds. She recommended social, cultural, environmental and
economic issues be addressed in a systems approach. On behalf of Futurewise, she explained they were
very much in support of mixed use and transit oriented development. She recommended consideration be
given to ways to get people out of their cars and onto mass transit to reduce the dependency on fossil-
based fuels. She urged the City to be carbon neutral and be a leader in environmental issues. She
suggested making documents such as the Comprehensive Plan, zoning ordinance, Shoreline Management
Plan, business district plans, etc. easily accessible on the City’s website, noting much of the anger heard
at city and county council meetings was the result of frustration regarding the lack of reliable information.
Bill Moran, Edmonds, commented he was first introduced to Edmonds fifty years ago via the views
from Edmonds Way, 5th Avenue and Main Street. When he purchased his home, he had a view and his
property taxes were based on that view; his view has since been obliterated by trees on neighboring
properties. As a retired Vocational Director for Edmonds School District, he was impressed by the work
done by the high school students. He urged the Council to take note of the students’ work as well as
consider the many different things that the citizens of Edmonds needed. He suggested the Elm Street
Park be leveled somewhat and a bowling green installed.
Barbara Chase, Edmonds, advised she had attended various meetings regarding the waterfront
redevelopment and read many City documents. A recent article regarding vibrant town centers, written
by a planner, identified many of the things Edmonds already has - a main street that others envy,
pedestrian-oriented streets, and a community where people who live and work have a sense of belonging.
She noted when reading the City’s long range plans, the importance of the area between Main Street and
James known as Skippers and the WSDOT parking lot was identified. She recommended a long range
vision for that area due to the uncertainty regarding relocation of the ferry terminal and to ensure
development reflected the City’s vision. She recalled a former Mayor stating his one regret from his term
was where the treatment plant was sited. She recommended the City purchase the Skippers site,
commenting in view of the recent $250,000 expenditure for a skatepark, the $1 million cost was not
infeasible. She recalled Councilmember Wambolt’s comment that Mr. Gregg indicated he would not sell
the property; however, her conversations with him indicated he was willing to sell the property. She
summarized 100 years ago the citizens of Seattle paid the princely sum of $100,000 for a wooded site
owned by the Phinney family that was now the site of the Woodland Park Zoo. She recommended the
City purchase the Skippers site for the benefit of the Edmonds citizens and the surrounding area, doubting
the Council would regret that action.

Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, commented the community turnout and their comments typified a small
community and were reminiscent of a town hall or grange meeting. He commended the work done by the
high school students, noting their plans could probably work on the site and reflected what all audience
members wanted to see on this site. That consensus should confirm what the Council should do with this
property - purchase it. Only via the City purchasing the property could development occur in a manner
that the community wanted. He encouraged Council to move forward with a bond issue, envisioning the
community would support it. He referred to the Parks Comprehensive Plan that would soon be presented
to the Council and urged the community to request the Council designate a park for this area. He referred
to the radius circles on the Park Comprehensive Plan map, recalling there was no plan for a park in this
area. He questioned the promises made by Mr. Gregg regarding development of the Skippers site,
recalling his community meeting reflected development of the Skippers and the WSDOT property.
However when questioned later by the Council, he indicated he was unable to talk about the negotiations
with WSDOT.
Jack Bevan, Edmonds, commented he was known as the Port curmudgeon because he watched over how
taxpayers’ money was spent. He assured he was not anti-park, pointing out he organized an annual clean
up of a park in north Edmonds and when he was on the City Council they acquired 120 acres from the
University of Washington that was later turned over to Snohomish County due to the cost of maintenance.
He pointed out the City had 62 parks and a maintenance budget of $1.2 million and envisioned the
assessed valuation of the City’s parks, particularly due to the large amount of waterfront, was more than
any other city of Edmonds’ size on Puget Sound. He stressed the importance of determining whether the
public supported purchasing the property via a bond issue, pointing out otherwise the City could not
afford it.
Hearing no further public comment, Mayor Pro Tem Plunkett closed the opportunity for public comment.
He recalled when the Council discussed this at the retreat, the intent was to have a community
discussion/forum, which was the reason the Council was lenient with the three minute limit. He
expressed the Council’s sincere appreciation for the community’s participation.
Councilmember Wilson reflected on the comments made tonight, comments he has received over the last
several weeks, while on the WG33 and during his campaign. He believed citizens got the government
they deserved and sometimes got bad government because they were not paying attention, made bad
choices with regard to cost/benefit, etc. and it was often difficult to educate the public regarding what was
in their best interest. He came to believe in the last week, reinforced by many of the comments made
tonight, that it was worthwhile to put before the voters a bond issue for some level of acquisition of some
part of this property. He acknowledged he did not previously support acquisition because the City did not
have the money but if the community was willing to pass a bond/levy for the purchase as well as
maintenance and operation, that changed everything. He anticipated a majority of the Council would be
willing to purchase the property if the community was willing to tax themselves. He acknowledged it
would require a significant tax increase and that it was not a good time for such an increase and by the
time a bond issue could be placed on a ballot likely a year from now, the timing would not be much
better.
Councilmember Wilson encouraged the public to continue to communicate their interest to the Council,
envisioning there would be multiple ways to kill this and only one way to accomplish it. He envisioned a
public facility that would be a draw would require continued, vehement, enthusiastic participation from
those in the audience, stakeholders, and those viewing the Council broadcast. He assured he had heard
the community’s desire for a public place, although it was a long way from happening. He was excited
by the energy in the room, recognizing that it was unique and hoping there would be more in the future.

Councilmember Orvis commented he had always been skeptical that a height increase was needed on the
site and to him that had not changed; development was doable within the current heights. His goal on the
site was retail, and open space consistent with Edmonds’ small town character without increased height
limits. He compared the Port and property owners’ efforts to the Heartland study which contained a
suboptimal example of a 2-story development. There were also aspects of the City’s topography, slopes,
and how condominiums were assessed in the 2-story example that caused him to doubt the study. He
noted there were many things that could be done to enhance the quality of a 2-story development and
make development worthwhile for a property owner such as trading consolidation of commercial space in
return for better commercial space, allowing ground floor residential to increase the density of the site in
exchange for open space, trading parking for open space, creative use of rights-of-way, etc. He did not
object to a bond issue, commenting in general the Council did not ask citizens often enough to fund
specific expenditures. He envisioned a bond issue could engage public and private funds for a
development such as the one proposed by the high school students that was within current height limits.
Councilmember Orvis was supportive of protecting the local environment including preserving the
wetland and addressing the potential liquefaction issue. He referred to the concept that density preserved
the environment by reducing sprawl, assuring that Edmonds met its GMA goals and had allowed
increased density throughout the city such as allowing condominiums in neighborhood centers, increased
densities on Hwy. 99 and Edmonds Way. He acknowledged he did not vote in favor of all those
developments but his disagreement was usually a matter of degree and not the location. He did not
envision development of the Harbor Square/Antique Mall/Skippers sites as an opportunity to reduce
sprawl, instead the focus should be on preserving Edmonds charm and views. With regard to the
inevitability of progress, he did not see progress as taller buildings and higher density nor was it
inevitable for every site in Edmonds. He reiterated the City’s efforts to increase density and housing
choices in Edmonds to meet their GMA goals. He hoped when his grandchildren visited the site, their
first comment was regarding the view of the Olympics and then that it was a cool site. He wanted the
views preserved as that as well as the small town charm that made Edmonds special.
Council President Pro Tem Dawson thanked everyone who attended and spoke at tonight’s meeting as
well as those who wrote to the Council and shared their detailed vision for the site, particularly the high
school students. She pointed out this process revealed a great deal could be done with the properties if the
primary goal was serving the public with a secondary goal of economically viable development. She
acknowledged there were different goals for the property with regard to economic viability, a developer’s
short term profit versus sustainable development that would result in a tax base and investment in public
amenities that would improve the community and encourage people to work, live, dine and shop in
Edmonds. She commented although this was a great opportunity to enhance the community, capitalizing
on that opportunity would require willing partners, either developers/property owners who were interested
in developing a public amenity, property owners who were willing to sell the property to the City or to
another developer who shared the City’s vision or property owners who were willing to partner with the
City in a vision/development that would include some public investment. She recommended the City
further explore the property owners’ willingness with regard to these issues.
Council President Pro Tem Dawson favored not simply rejecting the option of purchasing property,
commenting there were a number of ways to finance the community’s vision including a vote of the
people. She remarked there were many issues the voters were asked to vote on that were not as important
to the community such as the County Council’s consideration of a vote to fund a $165 million justice
center project. In comparison, the investment of $16 million, should that be determined to be the
appraised value of the property, was a small price to pay to invest in the future wellbeing of the
community. If the Council planned to pursue funding, she pointed out the need to consider not only funds
for acquisition but also development. She commented a park on the site may not be the best option as that
Packet Page 20 of 466

Page 17
implied it would be simply open space and the public seemed to be interested in shops, restaurants, etc. in
addition to green space, public art, etc. in an environmentally sensitive design.
She agreed with Councilmember Wambolt that the City was not free to pay whatever the property owner
asked for the property; the City could not spend taxpayer dollars to acquire property for an amount greater
than the assessed value of the property, thus the need for willing partners and the need to determine the
appropriate price or what other partnership may be available. If the developer wanted to proceed with
development on their own, the public has expressed support for developing the site under the existing
codes. She agreed there was no need to rush to change the zoning, particularly without a site specific
plan. She concluded this site was too important to leave it to chance that a change in the zoning would
result in something wonderful and envisioned something wonderful would result via a master plan for this
area. She acknowledged this property had great challenges due to the water table and environmental
issues including the potential rise in sea level, but there were also great opportunities due to the proximity
to transit and the views. She applauded her fellow Councilmembers for the statement the Council
developed at the retreat regarding how to proceed, observing the Council was proceeding in that manner.
COUNCILMEMBER BERNHEIM MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER ORVIS, TO
EXTEND THE MEETING FOR 30 MINUTES. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Councilmember Wambolt suggested the City have the property appraised, determine whether the property
owners would sell the property for that price and if they were willing, assess the magnitude of the tax
increase that would be required. He pointed out any tax increase would be in addition to what voters
approved for a Snohomish County Justice Center as mentioned by Council President Pro Tem Dawson.
With regard to the height increase, he noted he was elected to the Council due to his opposition to taller
building heights in the retail area of downtown. As a result of his involvement in the redevelopment
proposal for the past 18+ months via the Port’s process, he was convinced there was justification for
somewhat taller buildings on these sites, not to the magnitude as suggested this summer but something
higher than 25 feet. He commented the height limit for the Skippers and Antique Mall properties was 25
feet, the same as the retail area of downtown and the height limit of Harbor Square was 35 feet. However
25 feet near the waterfront was not the same as 25 feet in the downtown area because the high water table
allowed a maximum of 5 feet of excavation for parking. This required an additional 5 feet above ground
to accommodate parking, leaving only 20-feet for a building. More importantly, his study of property
values indicated since 2004 total property values had increased approximately 66%; of that, 66% was an
increase in the land value; improvements had increased at much slower rate. He pointed out an increase
in the land value of that magnitude meant that developers must develop more saleable space to amortize it
over the price of the land thus the developer needed more height. He acknowledged rents could be raised
but doubted rents could be raised by that magnitude. He favored consideration of some reasonable
increase in the building heights.
Councilmember Olson commented the Council was at the beginning of the process. She expressed
appreciation for the high school students’ proposal, noting their models made it easy to visualize what
could be developed on the site. She hoped whatever the developers proposed was presented in a similar
manner so that the public had a good idea of what it would look like.
With regard to the tax burden, Councilmember Bernheim pointed out as result of the Tim Eyman
initiative, the state and local tax burden on taxpayers was about the same as it was prior to passage of the
Eyman initiative. He sympathized with complaints about the tax burden but did not want it exaggerated
in order to reach a sensible conclusion regarding taxpayers’ responsibility to bear the expense of public
benefits. He voiced his agreement with Councilmember Orvis’ comments. He noted other than the
student projects, there had been little creative thinking with regard to how to create dynamic, desirable
spaces within the existing height limits. With regard to the price of the property, he supported the
Packet Page 21 of 466
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
April 1, 2008
Page 18
suggestion to have the property appraised. He pointed out the property flooded during ordinary weather,
was adjacent to a railroad track with increasing numbers of trains, and was subject to a zoning that limited
the height to 25 feet which made him question whether the $16 million value accurately calculated the
developable square footage under the current zoning. He commented the $16 million price for the
property cited by Mayor Haakenson was only intended to mislead the people.
Councilmember Bernheim observed the Council was moving forward deliberately and he agreed there
was no need for frenzy or haste. He was overjoyed with the orderly presentation of the public’s
viewpoints and the open public process that ensured everyone’s views were considered. He noted via that
process, even those who disagreed with some aspects could live with the outcome because they felt their
viewpoint had been considered.
Councilmember Wilson recognized that land was not getting any cheaper and that partnerships with
stakeholders would be key. He recognized Bill Angle who offered his services to the City and Mr. Gregg
who was still in the audience, indications of the tremendous interest and willingness of stakeholders to
listen to the conversation.
COUNCILMEMBER WILSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER OLSON, TO
EXPLORE BY MAY 6 THE COST AND PROCESS FOR A BOND RELATED TO ACQUISITION
AND DEVELOPMENT OF AN ARRAY OF OPTIONS FOR PURCHASING SOME PART OF
THE THREE PARCELS, EXPLORE OPTIONS FOR A M&O LEVY, CONSIDER ANY
POTENTIAL LOST REVENUE FROM PUBLIC VERSUS PRIVATE FACILITIES AND
ENGAGE STAKEHOLDERS TO ENSURE THEY WERE WILLING PARTNERS.
Mayor Pro Tem Plunkett relayed Community Services Director/Acting Economic Development Director
Stephen Clifton plans to schedule a presentation to the Council in 2-3 weeks regarding options. Mr.
Clifton commented the information that was now being requested was a different scenario and although
staff could perform the tasks Councilmember Wilson suggested, he requested staff have an opportunity to
determine how long it would take, anticipating May 6 would not provide enough time.
Council President Pro Tem Dawson suggested staff provide an update to the Community
Services/Development Services Committee next week regarding their progress in gathering the
information and that the Committee discuss parameters for considering the huge range of options.
Councilmember Wilson suggested staff also provide a more appropriate date at the Community
Services/Development Services meeting.
Councilmember Wambolt advised he would oppose the motion, finding it premature as the Council had
not had adequate time to discuss what they wanted to do.
MAYOR PRO TEM PLUNKETT MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER ORVIS, TO
TABLE THE MOTION SUBJECT TO THE COUNCIL PRESIDENT WORKING WITH STAFF
TO BRING IT BACK IN CONCERT WITH OTHER ITEMS INCLUDING DISCUSSION AT THE
COMMUNITY SERVICES/DEVELOPMENT SERVICES COMMITTEE AND RETURNING IT
TO A FUTURE AGENDA AT THE COUNCIL PRESIDENT’S DISCRETION. UPON ROLL
CALL, MOTION CARRIED (5-2), MAYOR PRO TEM PLUNKETT, COUNCIL PRESIDENT
PRO TEM DAWSON, AND COUNCILMEMBERS ORVIS, WAMBOLT AND BERNHEIM IN
FAVOR; AND COUNCILMEMBERS WILSON AND OLSON OPPOSED.
With regard to Councilmember Bernheim’s comment regarding the $16 million price cited by Mayor
Haakenson, Councilmember Wambolt assured Mayor Haakenson had not invented that number, it was the
price provided in a letter from the property owners. Whether the property was worth that much, that was
the amount the owners were willing to sell the property for. If the property owners were willing to accept
Packet Page 22 of 466
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
April 1, 2008
Page 19
the appraised value, it was likely to be at least $9-$10 million as that was the assessed value of the
property according to the Snohomish County Assessor. With regard to Councilmember Wilson’s
statement that property values would only increase, he commented that was not necessarily true anymore
and property owners should not be surprised if their property values decreased. He cautioned the public
not to expect their taxes to decrease because as values decreased, the tax rate would increase to offset the
lower value.
5. AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Alvin Rutledge, Edmonds, advised Mayor Haakenson met once a month with Michael Carter, President
& CEO of Stevens Hospital, to discuss issues. He recalled Mr. Carter’s statement that discussions
regarding rebuilding a hospital always included the possibility of relocation. However, a Board Member
assured the topic of relocation had never been considered by the Board. Mr. Rutledge assured Stevens
Hospital was not moving although some audience members had suggested it move to the waterfront
property.
Natalie Shippen, Edmonds, commented the concept of a waterfront hospital was not totally without
precedence, recalling a hospital in Hawaii with a view of Diamond Head. She explained she had
proposed a panel of independent citizens due to her fear of what had happened tonight - motions that did
not get passed, disagreement over what should be done, and a Mayor that was not in favor and did not
control his staff. She reiterated her suggestion for an independent panel to whom the Council could direct
their questions.
Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, reported on a crosswalk on Caspers Street between 9th and 3rd Avenue that
needed to be repainted. Although he had reported this previously to Public Works, they apparently had a
painting season or only painted crosswalks as time allowed. He reported seeing a near miss when an
elderly woman used the crosswalk and other occasions when pedestrians had to step back when traffic did
not stop. Next, he recommended Mayor Haakenson be kept out of any property negotiations. He also
suggested the Council consider a parking lot for ferry commuters on the WSDOT property if the ferry
terminal did not move. He commented there was also the possibility that WSDOT was interested in
acquiring the Gregg property.
6. MAYOR PRO TEM COMMENTS
Mayor Pro Tem Plunkett had no report.
7. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Council President Pro Tem Dawson reiterated her thanks to everyone who attended and spoke at tonight’s
meeting, remarking it had been a good discussion. She spoke in favor of also partnering with the Port and
the importance of looking at all the parcels at one time.
In Mayor Haakenson’s defense, Councilmember Wilson assured Mayor Haakenson managed his staff
very well, had his full trust and the trust of the vast majority of the citizenry. With regard to Ms.
Shippen’s suggestion for an independent panel, he pointed out the decision would still be made by the
Council and there would still be differences of opinion. He was hopeful in 2-3 weeks there could be clear
direction to the Mayor and staff to allow the process to move forward.
Councilmember Orvis praised the models provided by both groups of students.

Councilmember Wambolt commented the City did not have the REET revenue that Ms. Petso seemed to
think the City had. He agreed the City collected $1.4 million in REET in 2005, 2006 and 2007.
However, although the budget for 2008 was $1.4 million, projections were for approximately half that
amount due to declining real estate sales. For example, he pointed out construction at Pt. Edwards had
stopped to allow them to sell their inventory of condominiums; when condominiums did not sell, the City
did not collect as much REET revenue. He assured all the REET the City expected to collect had been
accounted for in the capital budget.
Councilmember Olson explained Mayor Haakenson was absent because he was leading a citizen
delegation along with Parks & Recreation Director Brian McIntosh to Hekinan, Japan, Edmonds’ Sister
City, to celebrate Hekinan’s 60th anniversary.
Councilmember Bernheim thanked the high school students for their models, noting they were a great
inspiration and everyone was very impressed with their work.
8. ADJOURN
With no further business, the Council meeting was adjourned at 10:39 p.m.

Subject Title
Authorization for Mayor to sign easement authorizing Snohomish County PUD to install guy wires

Beach Road.
Recommendation from Mayor and Staff
Council authorize the Mayor to sign easement authorizing Snohomish County PUD to install guy
wires and underground vault on City property at the corner of Olympic View Drive and
Meadowdale Beach Road.
Previous Council Action
N/A
Narrative
Snohomish County PUD is required to relocate their electrical utility lines along Olympic View
Drive (OVD) as a result of the City of Lynnwood OVD improvement project. The PUD has
requested an easement on a small portion of City property adjacent to the street right-of-way at the
corner of OVD and Meadowdale Beach Road to install guy wires and an underground vault.
This City property at the corner of OVD and Meadowdale Beach Road is treed open space
owned/managed by the Parks and Recreation Department. The proposed easement has been
reviewed by the Parks and Recreation Director, who has determined that the easement will not
impair the City’s use of this property for its intended purpose (treed open space). The PUD will
compensate the City in the amount of $2,040 for the easement.
The City Attorney has reviewed the easement and approved it as to form. The proposed easement
is attached. The easement area is indicated in the drawing attached as Exhibit B to the easement.

Information
Subject Title
2008 Addendum to Prisoner Detention Agreement with City of Lynnwood.
Recommendation from Mayor and Staff
Approval giving the Mayor the authority to sign the co-op transportation contract with the City of
Lynnwood.
Previous Council Action
Public Safety Committee recommended this agenda item be placed on the consent agenda for
approval by Council.
Narrative
The City of Lynnwood and the City of Edmonds originally signed a Prisoner Detention Agreement
on May 2, 1994. The agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of our utilization of Lynnwood
jail services. Since that time, there have been several addenda to the agreement regarding
remuneration issues.
Lynnwood has presented us with an addendum (received March 10, 2008), essentially effective
January 1, 2008, covering our portion of the Whatcom County cooperative prisoner transport
service. Our share of the fee for 2008 is $14,449.66. Our fee for 2007 was $13,067.67.
Whatcom County provides daily prisoner transportation service along the I-5 corridor from
Bellingham to Seattle. The total costs of Whatcom County's NW Minichain are divided
proportionately among participating agencies based on the number of prisoners transported. This is
a "pass through" amount charged to Lynnwood and then billed to us by Lynnwood.
Funds are already allocated in the approved 2007-2008 budget in Police (general fund) prisoner
care.
All other terms and conditions of the Prisoner Detention Agreement with the City of Lynnwood
remain unchanged.

Information
Subject Title
Public Hearing on the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan and
Community Cultural Plan.
Recommendation from Mayor and Staff
Council direct City Attorney to draft ordinance for Council consent agenda approval adopting the
Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan and Community Cultural Plan.
Previous Council Action
The plans were reviewed by City Council on March 18, 2008 and recommended to a public hearing
to be held on April 15, 2008.
Narrative
The Parks, Recreation & Open Space Comprehensive Plan and Community Cultural Plan updates
have been in process since March 2007 and have been following two separate yet connecting paths.
The Community Cultural Plan is an independent element of the City Comprehensive Plan as is the
Parks, Recreation & Open Space Plan. Our department oversees and implements both of these
plans.
Comprehensive plans educate, set broad goals and objectives, identify needs, set policy, and create
action plans to assist in guiding staff and the community, and allow department projects to be grants
eligible. Given the constantly changing landscape of active cities such as Edmonds, this plan
provides a general guide and not a blueprint for department and City activity. Budgets, capital
improvement plans, costs of material, labor, and political direction can, do, and will change
frequently within this six-year plan. Tonight, along with our staff and consultants Hough, Beck, &
Baird Inc. and 4Culture, I would like to review the process up to this point.
Separate twenty-person Advisory Committees representing varied interests and organizations met
regularly from April through December to review and refine both plans. These forty residents have
been provided regular updates since that time and we appreciate their dedication of time and
intellect over these many months. The members of the Advisory Committees are individuals and
citizens who have different recreational, cultural, and life interests and some who represent a
certain population or organization within the City. We requested that whatever their personal
interest or affiliation they take a broader objective in regard to the City’s quality of life and interest
in building for the future.
Packet Page 148 of 466
Two advertised public workshops were conducted to receive comment from the public. A
professional telephone survey was conducted as well as an opportunity for all to respond to an
electronic survey. We depended on these committees to help analyze staff, consultant, public, and
their own ideas and sentiments to reach consensus on all chapters and phases of this plan. The
collective expertise, community knowledge, and survey information identified deficiencies, trends,
and universal interests as well as more specialized needs to create the action plan.
Two updates to the Planning / Parks Board were presented on November 28 and February 13 that
resulted in thoughtful review by Board members. A number of their comments were addressed in
subsequent editing of the Parks Plan. A public hearing at the Planning / Parks Board was held on
February 27 with the Board recommending that the DRAFT plans be forwarded to City Council for
review and a public hearing. Council reviewed the plans at the March 18, 2008 Council meeting
and provided feedback and suggestions to staff. Minor corrections were made including rewording
language regarding play structure safety.

City of Edmonds Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan
Executive Summary
The City of Edmonds, the second largest
city in Snohomish County, is located 14
miles north of Seattle, only minutes from
Interstate 5, and is connected to the
Kitsap Peninsula by ferry. Edmonds is
known for its waterfront, flowers, art, and
historic downtown.
The Edmonds Parks, Recreation and
Cultural Services Department serves as
the community’s key resource for
providing parks, open space, recreation
programs, and cultural arts (the Park
System) for the enjoyment of Edmonds
citizens and visitors to the community.
The Department plays a vital role in many
aspects of community life, with staff
liaisons for the Edmonds Library Board,
the Edmonds Memorial Cemetery Board,
the City’s international Sister City
Commission programs, the Planning/
Parks Board and the Edmonds Arts
Commission.
The Mission of the Department is: “To
provide Edmonds’ citizens with a
balanced system of parks, recreation,
open space and cultural services
along with their support facilities to
ensure quality of life.”
BENEFITS OF THE PARKS
SYSTEM: ECONOMIC AND
HEALTH
Unlike many towns and cities that are
striving to create more attractive
environments and a sense of place,
Edmonds is a community that already has
a strong and positive identity. Integral to
what makes Edmonds both a memorable
and economically viable community is the
Parks System.
Edmonds continues to build on existing
assets in the Parks System which create
a strong sense of place: an inviting
pedestrian environment in the downtown;
pedestrian and vehicular connections
between parts of town and parks;
walkability; a mixed use environment
where people can live, work, shop and
recreate; and a unique character reflected
in streetscape, beautification and
gathering spaces, public art and parks.
Economic development strategies around
the country utilize these same assets to
build stronger communities.
In Edmonds the economic benefits of the
Parks System elements include attracting
tourism: the highlighting of cultural
elements in the downtown shopping core,
the accessibility and pedestrian friendly
design of the waterfront parks and public
art, and the development of cultural
facilities combine to attract visitors. The
walkability and mixed use nature of the
community attracts retirees and other
residents. When people want to live in a
place it is attractive for businesses to
locate there. Well kept parks and
beautification programs attract visitors
and contribute to real estate values,
diverse recreation programs draw
participants from the region who are
introduced to the community, and cultural
tourism draws from an even broader
region as visitors come for festivals and
arts events.
Healthy lifestyle benefits are another
contribution of our Parks System. There
is growing recognition that encouraging
healthy lifestyles helps prevent illness that
must be treated through the expensive
medical system. Edmonds encourages
well-being and vitality through
involvement in park, recreation and
cultural services programs. The
emphasis on connections and walkability
in this plan focuses on recreational
walking as a primary physical activity in
the community, providing parks with
diverse activities and a variety of
Executive Summary
Packet Page 154 of 466
Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan City of Edmonds
recreational programming encourages
mental, physical and social activity in
people of all ages, and education about
our natural environment and healthy
practices, such as no smoking in the
parks, all help promote healthy lifestyles
for our residents and visitors.
THE 2008 UPDATE
The 2008 update to the Parks, Recreation
and Open Space Comprehensive Plan
builds upon work completed through the
previous comprehensive planning
process.
The update incorporates input from an
Advisory Group comprised of community
members and city staff. The community
members represented a wide range of
special interests and community groups.
The update also includes input from two
public workshops and reviews at the
Planning/Parks Board. Additional
comments and priorities were received
through a web survey and a telephone
survey of Edmonds households.
THE VISION
Edmonds is a city that values community,
sense of place, a vibrant downtown and
the waterfront. Throughout the process
three overarching concepts emerged on a
consistent basis. These concepts drove
the direction of the plan update process
and will drive the future of the Edmonds’
Park System. The three concepts are:
• Connectivity – Improving multi-modal
access to and within the Parks
System.
• Diverse Activity – Improving the
system with different and new types of
activities and settings.
• Visibility – Improving the accessibility
of the system through stronger
information systems and marketing.
MOVING FORWARD
From the vision, several clear priorities for
the Edmonds’ park system were
developed. See the table on the following
page.

Introduction
Packet Page 160 of 466
City of Edmonds Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan
Introduction
This Plan discusses the findings and
recommendations to provide parks, open
spaces, recreation and cultural services in
Edmonds, referred to collectively in the
document as the “Park System”. The Plan
in combination with the Community
Cultural Plan Update provides policies for
developing the Park System and
suggests methods of financing
improvements and services.
The Plan identifies and evaluates the
existing park system, assesses the need
for Park System facilities and programs,
and recommends an approach to fund
improvements, including operations and
maintenance.
PURPOSE OF THE PLAN
The purpose of this Plan is to identify the
needs for the Park System in Edmonds
and to establish policies and implement
strategies to meet those needs. This Plan
is an update of the city’s 2001 Plan and is
consistent with the Growth Management
Comprehensive Plan Guidelines. This
revision provides an update to the Plan to
coordinate with the City’s Comprehensive
Plan and Capital Improvement Program
(CIP).
This Plan is also needed to qualify for
state and federal grants. The Recreation
and Conservation Funding Board (RCFB)
administers most state and federal
recreation oriented grant programs
through the Recreation Conservation
Office (RCO). In order to qualify for these
grants, Edmonds must maintain an
updated Parks, Recreation and Open
Space Comprehensive Plan.
PLAN ORGANIZATION
The Plan is organized into an executive
summary, seven chapters, and four
appendices of technical information.
Summary of Contents
Chapter 1 – Introduction: A statement
regarding the purpose of the Plan, an
overview of the Plan organization, a
summary of public involvement in the
planning process, and a list of relevant
planning documents.
Chapter 2 – Community Profile: A
description of the planning area
boundaries, the natural features,
demographic characteristics, land use
and cultural resources of Edmonds.
Chapter 3 – Facilities and Programs
Inventory: A general description and
inventory of existing parks, recreation,
open space and cultural facilities and
programs available in Edmonds.
Chapter 4 – Community Needs
Assessment: A summary of existing
conditions found in Edmonds today and
what the community would like to see for
the future of the Edmonds park system.
Includes a summary of survey findings,
public meetings, advisory group
meetings, and recommended level of
service standards.

elements, and a location map.
PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT
In order to reflect the views of the
community and build support for the Plan,
public participation was an important part
of the planning process. It included:
Creation of a Parks Comprehensive
Plan Advisory Group – The Advisory
Group met throughout the planning
process to test ideas and provide
detailed feedback on the Plan. The
committee included representatives
from the Edmonds Arts Commission,
Edmonds School District, Port of
Edmonds, Adult Sports, Edmonds
Library, Edmonds Planning/Parks
Board, Cemetery Board, Youth
Sports, South County Senior Center,
Recreation Services, Cultural
Services, Edmonds Bicycle Group,
and citizens at large.
Web Survey – Advertised heavily and
distributed through the internet, the
web survey sought to evaluate
general public perception of the Park
System.
Telephone Survey – Members of
randomly selected Edmonds
households were asked to complete a
detailed questionnaire about general
recreation facilities and services,
specific proposed elements and
possible funding opportunities.
Public Meetings – A public workshop
and an open house were advertised
and hosted by the Advisory Group
and the Parks, Recreation, and
Cultural Services Department. The
purpose of the meetings was to invite
citizens to participate in developing a
plan for the future of the Edmonds
Park System.
INTEGRATION WITH OTHER
PLANNING DOCUMENTS
The planning documents and studies that
influence park, recreation, open space
and cultural facilities and services within
the city were reviewed for policies,
guidelines and information relevant to the
Parks, Recreation and Open Space
Comprehensive Plan. These documents

City of Edmonds Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan
Community Profile
The City of Edmonds is located in south
Snohomish County. It is part of a highly
developed region that includes north King
County and south Snohomish County.
Cities adjacent to Edmonds include
Mountlake Terrace, Lynnwood, Woodway
and Shoreline. The community's location
on the west-facing slopes of Puget Sound
provides extensive access to beaches
and waterfront parks.
State Routes 104, 524 and 99 provide
links to neighboring cities, Interstate 5
and the Edmonds-Kingston Ferry. The
Edmonds-Kingston Ferry connects south
Snohomish County and north King
County with the northern Kitsap Peninsula
and points west on the Olympic
Peninsula. Community Transit provides
bus service with regular bus routes and
peak period commuter routes. Metro
transit provides direct services to the
University of Washington and downtown
Seattle.
BNSF Railroad tracks run along the
Sound and support freight, AMTRAK
passenger and Sound Transit rail service.
With frequent train travel, the railroad is a
significant element in the character of the
shoreline and an impediment to
movement between downtown Edmonds
and the Sound. The potential relocation of
the ferry terminal also plays a significant
role in the future of Edmonds’ waterfront,
including Marina Beach Park.
PLANNING AREA
The planning area includes the 8.9
square miles within the Edmonds city
limits and 1.2 square miles of
unincorporated neighborhoods within the
overall limits of the city’s boundary. The
boundaries of the planning area are
formed by Puget Sound on the west,
Lynnwood and Mountlake Terrace city
limits on the east, Woodway city limits
and King-Snohomish County line on the
south and Meadowdale Beach Park
(Lund’s Gulch) on the north.
Edmonds has over five miles of saltwater
shoreline, fully developed. Of these five
miles, less than one mile is available for
public use.
The City is primarily a residential
community that provides many amenities
for residents and visitors. An active arts
and cultural community contributes to the
strong sense of civic pride widely shared
in the community. There are numerous
Community Profile Page 2-1
Packet Page 165 of 466
Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan City of Edmonds
well-kept residential neighborhoods, a
viable economic base and an active,
involved citizenry.
The Edmonds-Kingston Ferry has had a
major impact in Edmonds since the
terminal was built in 1923. During
summer months thousands of visitors and
tourists drive to Edmonds to take the ferry
to Kingston and other parts of Kitsap
County. At busy times, traffic is backed up
for more than a mile on SR 104.
A feasibility study, The Edmonds
Crossing, examined alternative locations
for the ferry terminal. Relocating the
terminal site to Point Edwards would help
resolve existing traffic conflicts and
congestion while providing increased
terminal capacity. A future multimodal
facility is expected to incorporate
terminals for rail and bus service, park
and ride lots and pedestrian access, with
a new ferry terminal. The proposed site is
about one mile south of the existing ferry
terminal.
NATURAL FEATURES
Topography/ Terrain
Edmonds has two distinct topographic
districts. The western two-thirds is a
gentle to steeply sloping hillside known
locally as “the bowl”. This area overlooks
the Sound and affords spectacular views
of the water and the Olympic Mountains.
The hillside is braided with ravines and
streams, some extending a mile inland.
The remaining one-third of Edmonds is
flat to gently rolling plateau.
As Edmonds has urbanized, the natural
vegetation has become increasingly
scarce. The city’s woodlands, marshes
and other areas containing natural
vegetation provide an important resource,
which should be preserved.
Many of the remaining undeveloped
areas of the city are located on hillsides
or in ravines where steep slopes have
discouraged, but not stopped,
development. These are frequently areas
where natural drainage ways exist and
where the second growth forest is still
undisturbed. In some areas, soil
conditions exist that severely limit urban
development.
Rivers, Streams, Wetlands and
Drainageways
The land area of Edmonds drains directly
to Puget Sound via pipes and open
streams and is part of the Cedar River
Drainage Basin Water Resource
Inventory Area (WRIA 8). Open water
bodies include Northstream, Shell Creek,
Hindley Creek, Good Hope Pond, Willow
Creek, Shellabarger Creek and Edmonds
Marsh. The marsh is fed from
Shellabarger and Willow Creeks and
connects to the Sound through a 1300-
foot long pipe that parallels the railroad
track south of the Edmonds Marina. It is a
designated wildlife sanctuary.
Edmonds beaches, breakwaters and
pilings represent unique habitats for
marine organisms. Streams, lakes and
saltwater areas offer habitats for many
species of migrating and resident bird life.
Undeveloped wooded areas and parks
provide habitats for birds and mammals.
Many species utilize both upland and
beach areas.
The Puget Sound waterfront is one of the
most scenic areas of the city and
establishes the visual identity of
Edmonds.
Climate
The climate in Edmonds is heavily
influenced by its location on Puget Sound.
The abundance of moist marine air keeps
the temperature mild all year. Average
summer temperatures are in the low 60’s.
Winter temperatures are generally in the
upper 30’s. Winds are often strong and
are typically from the southwest in winter
and from the northwest in summer.

DEMOGRAPHIC
CHARACTERISTICS
Current census data had not yet been
released at the time of this Plan update.
Demographics are therefore still based on
2000 census information.
Age
Snohomish
County
City of
Edmonds
Under 19 30% 22.8%
20-44 38.8% 32.3%
45-64 22% 28.3%
Over 65 9.1% 16.6%
Median Age 34.7 42
Young families in Edmonds have
increased substantially from 1990.Youth
population has risen from 20% to 22.8%
in 2000. Edmonds has a growing number
of 20-44 age citizens. This reflects the
increase of young couples with children
and an average median age of 42 years.
The elderly population (over 65) has
remained constant between 1990 and
2000 at 16%. 87.7% of the community is
Caucasian, 5.6% are Asian, 3.3% are
Hispanic or Latino and 1.3% are black or
African American. 68.1% of the homes
are owner-occupied units with 31.9%
renter occupied.
Ethnicity
Ethnicity is important from a recreation
participation standpoint. Some ethnic
groups have a higher participation level in
specific types of recreational activities,
which would increase the demand for
certain types of facilities.
The population is predominantly
Caucasian, yet Edmonds is becoming
more diverse each year. According to the
2000 census Edmonds is still less diverse
than the State as a whole, where 18.2%
of the population is an ethnicity other than
Caucasian.
Income
Income levels are used to reveal
important demographic characteristics. In
general, the higher income groups tend to
be more active and participate in more
expensive types of activities.
Edmonds is an upper-middle income
residential community. According to 2001
estimates provided by Puget Sound
Regional Council based on traffic analysis
zones (TAZ), 31% of Edmonds
households are classified as upper
income. Upper-middle income
households make up 26.2% of the total,
24.3% are in the low-middle range and
18.5% are in the low-income range.
Due to the absence of a large industrial
and commercial base, the city is heavily
dependent on property taxes as the main
funding mechanism to provide services
for residents. Property taxes comprise
40% of the city’s General Fund
Revenues.
LAND USE
Land use plays an important role in the
location, distribution and availability of
park, open space, recreation and cultural
facilities.
According to the Comprehensive Plan
adopted in 2006, the total land area of the
City of Edmonds encompasses 8.9
square miles (5,700 acres). In 2006,
approximately 96% of the city was
developed.
Commercial activity is concentrated in two
major areas – the downtown/waterfront
and the Highway 99 corridor. Other vital
commercial areas include Westgate,
Perrinville, 5 Corners and Firdale Village.
Housing
The city is primarily residential with
single-family and multi-family residential
units comprising approximately 59.6% of
the total land in the city. In 2007, the
median home value was $435,000.
Community Profile Page 2-3
Packet Page 167 of 466
Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan City of Edmonds
Vacant Land
Approximately 240 acres within the
Edmonds city limits are undeveloped. Of
this, approximately 170 acres are zoned
for single-family residential development.
CULTURAL RESOURCES
Edmonds has a strong and long-lived
reputation as a cultural community. In
1975 the Edmonds Arts Commission was
established “to promote the arts as an
integral part of community life.”
Edmonds is home to the Edmonds Center
for the Arts, a regional symphony, a ballet
company, an artist’s cooperative, theater
groups, a major arts festival, an historical
museum, a sculptor’s workshop,
Edmonds Community College ArtsNow
program, writer’s groups, galleries, a
significant public art collection and
ArtWorks a space for artists. The beautiful
natural environment of Edmonds has
attracted many artists and writers to this
area.
Since the first Community Cultural Plan
was adopted in 1995 and subsequent
updates in 2001 and 2008, the City of
Edmonds has become even stronger in
fostering its cultural resources.
POPULATION FORECAST
The population of Edmonds is 40,460.
The rate of growth has been relatively
stable at about 1% per year with major
increases occurring primarily as a result
of annexations in the 1960s and 1970s.
Based on forecasted continued growth at
1% per year, the population in 2012 is
projected to be 41,788.
The moderate rate of growth reflects
Edmonds’ status as a mature community
with a small supply of vacant,
developable land.

The Existing Conditions Map found in this
plan illustrates the parks, recreation, open

today.
PARKS AND OPEN SPACE
The most effective and efficient Park
System to manage is one made up of
different types of parks, each designed to
provide a specific type of recreation
experience or opportunity. When
classified and used properly they are
easier to maintain, create less conflicts
between user groups, and have less
impact on adjoining neighbors.
In order to assess the Park System in
Edmonds and to address specific park
system needs, the parks have been
classified as follows.
Neighborhood Parks
Community Parks
Regional Parks
Special Use Areas
Open Space
Gateways/Entrances
Connections
Beautification Areas
Today, almost 450 acres of parkland are
available to residents and visitors. They
include parks and open space owned by
the City of Edmonds as well as parks and
open space owned and managed by
Snohomish County, Edmonds School
District, and other public agencies.
A detailed description of each park and
open space site is contained in Appendix
C. Summary tables of existing facilities is
shown on pages 3-17 and 3-18 at the end
of this chapter.
Properties Owned/Managed by
Edmonds Parks, Recreation and
Cultural Services Department
NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS
Neighborhood parks are designed for
both informal and formal recreation
activities. They are generally small in size
(one to five acres) and serve an area of
approximately a one-half mile radius, or
within a typical walking distance.
Typically, facilities found in a
neighborhood park include a children's
playground, picnic areas, trails, open
grass areas for passive use, outdoor
basketball courts and multi-use sport
fields for soccer, and youth baseball.
Facilities, and Programs Inventory Page 3-1
Packet Page 170 of 466
Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan City of Edmonds
COMMUNITY PARKS
Community parks are designed to provide
specialized facilities to serve the entire
community. Their service area is roughly
a 2-mile to 5-mile radius. The optimum
size is between 20 acres and 50 acres.
Community parks typically have sports
fields, open space or similar dedicated
uses as the central focus of the park.
Because community parks are designed
to accommodate large numbers of
people, they often require support
facilities such as parking and restrooms.
REGIONAL PARKS
Regional parks are recreational areas
serving the city and beyond. They are
usually large in size and often include one
specific use or feature that makes them
special. Typically, they feature unique
types of recreational activities, such as
swimming, camping, hiking, fishing,
boating, picnicking and golfing. Regional
parks within urban areas sometimes offer
a wider range of facilities and activities.
These parks may also include special
facilities such as waterfront features,
stadiums, cemeteries, zoos, concert halls,
and aquariums.
SPECIAL USE AREAS
Special Use Areas are public recreation
facilities used for a special purpose such
as cultural activities, educational
activities, downtown gathering places and
other specialized recreation. They
include, for example, Centennial Plaza,
the Historic Museum and the SR104 Mini
Park.
OPEN SPACE
Open space is undeveloped land left
primarily in its natural state with
recreation uses as a secondary objective.
It is usually owned or managed by a
governmental agency and may or may
not have public access. This type of land
often includes wetlands, steep hillsides,
or other similar areas. In some cases,
environmentally sensitive areas are
considered as open space and can
include wildlife habitats, stream and creek
corridors.
GATEWAYS / ENTRANCES
These are landscaped areas with signage
marking both perceived entry “nodes” and
actual political boundaries of the
community. Edmonds currently has three
developed gateways and additional
locations and design parameters are
outlined in the City of Edmonds
Streetscape Plan.
One small gateway is located on
Edmonds Way at Westgate. Another
more prominent gateway at the entrance
to downtown Edmonds is on property
owned by the Washington Department of
Transportation at SR 104 and Fifth
Avenue South (.20 acres). Brackett’s
Landing is a regional park and the sign at
Main and Sunset serves as the western
waterway entrance and gateway into
Edmonds. The City of Edmonds
Streetscape Plan suggests additional
gateway / entrance intersections that
could be enhanced.

Packet Page 171 of 466
City of Edmonds Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan
CONNECTIONS
Connections include pedestrian, bicycle
routes and visual connections through
identification markers, scenic corridors,
overlooks, beautification areas and linear
parks. Pedestrian and bike routes can be
a shared roadway without bike lanes,
marked bicycle lanes or a shared use,
non-motorized path. Connections should
be designated with signage and on park
maps.
Linear parks are part of an overall non-
motorized transportation system that
provides connectivity throughout the
community. They are developed
landscaped areas and other lands that
follow linear corridors. This type of park
often contains trails, walkways,
landscaped areas, viewpoints and seating
areas. Linear parks contribute to the
City’s ability to preserve and protect
natural areas, ecological features and
cultural assets including historic and
public art features.
BEAUTIFICATION AREAS
Beautification areas include landscaped
features located along street right-of-
ways, intersections, and medians. One
hundred fifty hanging flower baskets are
also included in beautification areas. They
are as much a part of Edmonds’ identity
as its location overlooking Puget Sound
and its reputation as a cultural
community. The importance of
beautification areas, their contribution to
creating a pedestrian friendly community,
and the potential for integration of public
art elements is also addressed in the
Streetscape Plan and in the Community
Cultural Plan. The following table 3.1 lists
the beautification area inventory.

EDMONDS SCHOOL DISTRICT
Edmonds School District currently serves
22,089 (2007-08) students from an area
of 36 square miles that includes four
cities, one town, and unincorporated
areas in southwest Snohomish County.
The district offers sport fields, playground
areas, outdoor basketball courts, and
gymnasium space. Public access is
limited to times when school is not in
session.
The Edmonds School District, Edmonds
Community College, the City of Edmonds,
and other cities in the southwest county
area have formed a coordinating focus
team that meets regularly to discuss
scheduling, partnership projects, and
capital improvement projects. The result
has been more efficient use of public
facilities, receipt of matching grants for
capital improvements and improved
working relationships with site staff.
The City has developed neighborhood or
community park elements in partnership
with Edmonds Elementary, Madrona K-8,
Sherwood Elementary, Edmonds
Woodway High School and the Former
Woodway High School. A Conceptual
plan has been developed by the School
District for a regional athletic facility at the
Former Woodway High School site and a
committee of District, City and community
organizations is exploring funding
strategies.
COLLEGES
Edmonds Community College owns and
operates the Edmonds Conference
Center in downtown Edmonds. The
structure, built by a private investor and
donated to the college for public benefit,
provides space for arts events,
community gatherings and private rentals.
Edmonds Community College offers a
wide range of indoor and outdoor
recreation facilities. These include
basketball/volleyball courts, fitness area
and baseball fields. In general, the
College’s facilities are well designed and
have been developed to a very high level,
but are not easily accessible to the
general public.
Central Washington University has a
satellite campus at Edmonds Community
College. It utilizes the recreational
resources owned and managed by other
public entities.
Other Public Recreation Resources

boat moorage, and public sling boat
launching for motorized boats. An
additional restroom facility is planned for
2009. A public walkway along the marina
connects Olympic Beach and Marina
Beach. The Port has an interactive
weather station and developed a popular
pedestrian plaza at the waterfront. Each
year on the first weekend in June, the
Port is the site of the Waterfront Festival.
The Port and City have partnered on
several joint ventures including the Public
Fishing Pier, Marsh boardwalk and sign
program, Marina Beach Parking, and
Olympic Beach Parking.

stewardship of Puget Sound, its
shorelines, and the surrounding
watershed.”

City of Edmonds Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan
OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE
Park Maintenance is responsible for 325
acres of parkland at 20 facilities. They
maintain more than 3,400 feet of
shoreline. In addition to caring for parks
and recreation facilities, park
maintenance tends all City grounds,
flower baskets, and 20,000 square feet of
plant beds.
ADMINISTRATION
The Department has six basic
responsibilities (see Department
Organization Chart below):
Recreation Services
Administrative Services

In addition, the department serves as
liaison to a number of City boards
including:
Edmonds Arts Commission

Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan City of Edmonds
Annual Budget 2007
The total 2007 actual general fund budget
for Parks, Recreation, and Cultural
Services Department was $2,980,656. It
accounts for approximately 10% of the
City of Edmonds’ total General Fund
budget.
One cost measure of providing services is
to base it on a per capita basis. Using a
City population of 40,460, the net gross
cost per capita is $46.49 which includes
all city provided parks, recreation and
cultural arts services. This amount is
below average for similar communities in
the Seattle region which reflects positively
for the operations of the department. The
net cost per capita is the total cost after
revenue from fees and charges are
deducted.
Of interest is the revenue rate the City
produces from its recreation program
services. For recreation programs the rate
is 91.3% which is higher than most area
cities.
Table 3.5 illustrates the cost per capita for
the department as a whole, and for parks
and recreation, less maintenance and
cemetery operations (the cemetery is
operated as an Enterprise Fund). It also
shows the rate of return from fees and
charges.

City of Edmonds Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan
Community Needs Assessment
One of the most important elements of
the Parks, Recreation and Open Space
Comprehensive Plan is the assessment
of need within the parks system.
Quantifying these needs is difficult
because many different variables
influence recreation needs. Personal
values, participation patterns and
willingness to pay for services and
facilities vary widely from city to city.
Consequently, what seems right for one
community may not be appropriate for
another. One of the problems associated
with determining the needs is that
overstating the demand can result in the
development of underutilized facilities.
Conversely, under-estimating the needs
can result in overused facilities and a lack
of available park systems.
This chapter discusses the need for Park
System facilities, programs and services
in the Edmonds Planning Area. The
process to identify needs was to:
Evaluate the existing park system
Conduct a random household
telephone survey and web survey of
Edmonds households
Host two public meetings, Advisory
Group meetings and public hearings
with the Planning / Parks Board and
Edmonds City Council
Identify current park and facility needs
Forecast future need based on the
demand standard
The needs assessment covers the
following areas:
Parks and Open Space
Recreation Facilities and Programs
Cultural Services, Facilities and
Programs
Community Needs Assessment Page 4-1
Packet Page 189 of 466
Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan City of Edmonds
PARKS AND OPEN SPACE NEED
Specific needs for each type of park are
discussed on the following pages. The
categories of parks include:
Neighborhood Parks
Community Parks
Regional Parks
Special Use Areas
Natural Open Spaces
Gateways/Entrances
Connections
Beautification
Methodology of Assessing Park
Needs in Edmonds
Developing a statement of need for parks
and open space is dependent on local
values, availability of land, financial
resources, and desired service levels. In
this plan we are considering only public
land or quasi-public land used primarily
for recreation or open space use in our
needs analysis.
Traditionally, need or level of service
standards were given as the "existing
ratio" or "recommended standard". The
existing ratio is the existing amount of
parks divided by the existing population
within the planning area. It is expressed in
terms of acres per 1,000 population.
These standards are shown in relation to
general national and state standards for
comparison only, but each community is
unique so those general standards need
to be weighed against individual
community values and perceptions. The
recommended standard, therefore, is
derived through the public process and
tested against the factors previously
discussed, such as availability and
financing. It is then expressed in terms of
acres per 1,000 population.
Existing and Forecasted Population
The ratio of parks and open space
facilities is based on a comparison with
the existing population base. By
developing a desired level of service
(recommended standard) and applying it
to a future population forecast, one can
determine future needs. To determine the
existing ratio, the population within the
planning area was used. To determine
population growth projections, figures
were extrapolated from the 2000 Census
and Snohomish County population data.
The target year is 2025. For this plan, we
will use the existing and future population
forecasts identified below.
Table 4.1
Population Forecast
Edmonds Planning Area
Year Edmonds Planning Area
2007 40,460
2012 41,788
2025 44,880
Neighborhood Parks
EXISTING CONDITIONS
Most neighborhood parks are well
developed and offer a variety of facilities.
Often, joint partnerships with Edmonds
School District have resulted in
neighborhood park uses available on
school property during non-school hours.
Ideally, neighborhood parks would be
available at all times of the day.
Neighborhood Park Service Area
The service area for a neighborhood park
in Edmonds is considered to be a half-
mile radius. The service area is also
shaped by man-made or natural barriers
such as highways, ravines, and
waterfront. Assuming this service area,
many neighborhoods in the Edmonds
Planning Area are being served by this
Page 4-2 Community Needs Assessment
Packet Page 190 of 466
City of Edmonds Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan
type of park if the joint use school sites
are also considered. In most areas, there
is little, if any available land for future park
development.
Maintenance Impacts of Neighborhood Parks
Neighborhood parks are not as efficient to
maintain and operate as larger
community parks. However,
neighborhood parks are important in
providing convenient access to residents.
PUBLIC COMMENTS AND TRENDS REGARDING
NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS
Survey Results
Increased joint use of school and
private sites to serve as neighborhood
sites was a high priority.
Public Process Results
The community supported greater
neighborhood park diversity, which
refers to the types of activities and
facilities provided.
There was general agreement that the
existing quantity of neighborhood
parks is adequate, although a few
new park areas were identified in
general terms.
More gathering places and small
plazas were identified as a unique
need in downtown Edmonds.
Trends
Most communities in the Northwest
have developed a park system
centered on the neighborhood park.
This balances the issue of
convenience with the cost of
operation and maintenance.
Communities are interested in unique
new activities in their neighborhood
parks.
Residents of all ages are increasingly
involved in the entire spectrum of
activities within the parks system.
Communities are increasingly
interested in policies and practices
that promote long term sustainability
and protect natural resources and
open spaces.
DETERMINATION OF DEMAND STANDARD FOR
NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS
It is recommended the City develop
neighborhood park facilities within walking
distance of most residences (one-half
mile radius service area.)
Based on the need analysis,
approximately 4 additional neighborhood
park sites are needed to serve all
residential areas within the Edmonds
planning area.
This may be accomplished through the
addition of neighborhood park elements
at existing park or school sites or new
acquisition of park sites. At an average
size of 3 acres each, this is equivalent to
15 additional acres for a recommended
standard of 0.64 acres /1,000 population.
Community Parks
EXISTING CONDITIONS
The existing community parks are fairly
well developed and contain facilities such
as group picnicking, sports fields,
skateboard park, concert sites, and
parking. Some sites are entirely owned by
Edmonds while others have been
developed, owned, or managed jointly
with other jurisdictions.
Community Park Service Area
The service area for a community park is
normally considered to be a two-mile to
five-mile radius. Assuming this service
area, some parts of Edmonds are not
currently served by this type of park. It
should be noted there are very few, if any,
opportunities to acquire and/or develop
parks of this size due to the level of
development in the City.
Community Needs Assessment Page 4-3
Packet Page 191 of 466
Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan City of Edmonds
Maintenance Impacts of Community Parks
On an acre per acre basis, community
parks can be the most efficient type of
park to maintain.
PUBLIC COMMENTS AND TRENDS REGARDING
COMMUNITY PARKS
Survey Results
Developing a new community park
was one of the top priorities.
Improving existing sports fields was a
higher priority than providing
additional new fields.
Public Process Results
The community supported improved
connectivity and multi-modal access
to community parks.
In community parks with natural open
spaces, maintenance and
preservation was desired.
More developed community parks
were supported to feature new
activities and diverse uses.
Athletic facilities should be improved
to allow for expanded use, such as
synthetic surfaces, improved drainage
and/or lights.
Trends
As land becomes scarce, housing
more dense and neighborhood parks
become smaller, many communities
rely on the city’s parks to serve
multiple functions. These include
organized, active recreation (i.e. ball
fields, soccer), passive neighborhood
functions and natural open space.
Snohomish County has made a policy
decision to focus its resources on
community rather than neighborhood
parks due to the wide variety of
facilities community parks can
accommodate, and the lower cost per
acre to maintain.
DETERMINATION OF DEMAND STANDARD FOR
COMMUNITY PARKS
It is recommended the City provide
community park facilities within 2 to 5
miles for most residents. Based on the
need analysis one additional community
park is needed to serve the Edmonds
planning area. This may likely be
accomplished through a joint agreement
at the former Woodway High School site.
At an average size of 20 acres, this
results in a standard of 2.85 acres/1,000
population.
Regional Parks
Edmonds regional parks provide a variety
of benefits to the area’s residents and
visitors. Tidelands are undeveloped and
protected as Marine Sanctuaries.
Waterfront parks are fully developed and
provide public access to Puget Sound. All
of the sites are owned by Edmonds.
Edmonds Memorial Cemetery &
Columbarium is an example of this.
Regional Park Service Area
The regional park service area includes
greater southwest Snohomish County and
the northern communities of King County.
Maintenance Impacts of Regional Parks
Depending upon the facilities they
contain, regional parks can be expensive
to maintain. However, the cost of
maintenance is offset in Edmonds by the
contribution regional parks make to the
local economy and to Edmonds’ identity.
They may also attract attention from
special interest groups willing to volunteer
maintenance hours or dollars, such as at
the Underwater Park.
PUBLIC COMMENTS AND TRENDS REGARDING
REGIONAL PARKS
Survey Results
A new pool and regional trails were
the highest ranking priorities for
regional parks.
Page 4-4 Community Needs Assessment
Packet Page 192 of 466
City of Edmonds Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan
Public Process Results
The community supported the
establishment of a pedestrian route
connecting Edmonds’ regional
waterfront parks.
Any expansion of public waterfront
was favorable and many ideas were
offered for the site of the ferry terminal
if the terminal is relocated.
The South County Senior Center was
generally considered as a valuable
asset and expansion of its programs
was desirable.
Trends
Most communities do not have the
opportunity to develop new regional
parks and rely on the county or state
for these types of facilities.
Often, regional parks have become
open space parcels purchased
through conservation funds.
DETERMINATION OF DEMAND STANDARD FOR
REGIONAL PARKS
It is recommended for the city to provide
additional regional facilities where
possible, especially along the waterfront.
If the current off-leash area on the
waterfront is displaced a new regional off-
leash park should be considered,
potentially through a joint partnership with
adjacent jurisdictions. Potential for an
additional off-leash area located within
the City is limited by a lack of available
land.
The City of Edmonds should continue to
pursue opportunities to acquire waterfront
properties and to partner with private
owners for public access to the
waterfront.
It is estimated approximately 15 acres
may be provided to accomplish this goal
resulting in a recommended standard of
6.21 acres/1,000 population.
Special Use Areas
EXISTING CONDITIONS
Special use areas in Edmonds include
indoor as well as outdoor facilities and are
owned by the City of Edmonds and
Snohomish County. They include facilities
such as the library, Frances Anderson
Center and Ballinger Lake access. In
general, they are well programmed and
used by the public. Some could be better
advertised and may be improved to serve
multiple functions.
Special Use Service Area
There is no defined service area for
special use areas. The service area
varies widely depending on the function it
serves and is often on a more regional
scale.
Maintenance Impacts of Special Use Areas
The level of maintenance varies
depending on the site’s function.
PUBLIC COMMENTS AND TRENDS REGARDING
SPECIAL USE AREAS
Survey Results
A new hand carry boat launch ranked
moderately on the priority list when
compared with other proposed
facilities.
Public Process Results
The community generally supported
the continued development of special
use areas.
Improved multi-modal connections
and better visibility and advertising of
these facilities were also supported.
An additional hand-carry boat launch
site along the waterfront was desired
to increase Edmonds’ visibility along
the Puget Sound water trail route.
DETERMINATION OF DEMAND STANDARD FOR
SPECIAL USE AREAS
It is recommended that additional special
use areas and facilities be developed
Community Needs Assessment Page 4-5
Packet Page 193 of 466
Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan City of Edmonds
when feasible and as opportunity allows,
especially in downtown open spaces and
plazas. This may be done primarily
through developer agreements, design
standards, or other types of partnerships.
A new hand-carry boat launch site on
Puget Sound should be considered as
future funding and opportunity may allow.
Opportunities for additional special use
sites will likely be limited to part of a
larger development resulting in a small
amount of additional acreage. For the
purposes of this plan, it is assumed that
an additional 2 acres may become
available for a recommended standard of
0.5.
Open Space
EXISTING CONDITIONS
In the Edmonds area, there are several
sites that fall under the open space area
category. This includes lands that are
owned or managed by the city and
Snohomish County.
Most of the sites are undeveloped or only
minimally developed. Development is
usually limited to parking areas,
trailheads, pathways, and trails.
Open Space Service Area
There is no defined service area for open
space. Service area is determined by its
intended purpose such as separation of
neighborhoods, preservation of
environmentally sensitive areas, and
steep hillsides.
Maintenance Impacts of Open Space
The maintenance of open space areas is
relatively low compared to other types of
recreational spaces except when invasive
species begin to take over otherwise
natural sites. Often volunteers can be
utilized for “Clean-up Day” events to help
offset maintenance costs associated with
invasive species removal and trail
improvements.
PUBLIC COMMENTS AND TRENDS
Survey Results
Protecting existing natural areas and
open space systems ranked very high
as a community priority.
Creek corridor designations,
trailheads and walking routes also
generated a lot of interest in the
survey.
Public Process Results
The maintenance and protection of
existing open spaces was supported
by the community.
Connecting and providing access to
enjoy these natural spaces (while
maintaining habitat integrity) was a
key point of interest.
A new open space corridor along
Willow Creek and expanding the
corridor along Shell Creek were
generally supported.
Additional open space “set asides”
were favored and a concern for the
community.
Trends
The preservation of open space has
become very important in most
communities.
More and more government resources
are becoming available through
various grant processes or land use
tools (easements, etc.) to support
conservation of natural resources.
Education about the value and
functions of natural open space is
increasing across many age groups.
DETERMINATION OF DEMAND STANDARD FOR
OPEN SPACES
It is recommended that the amount of
open space be increased to preserve
environmentally sensitive areas
(wetlands, stream corridors), steep
Page 4-6 Community Needs Assessment
Packet Page 194 of 466
City of Edmonds Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan
hillsides and maintain a sense of
openness in the community.
Due to the level of development within the
City, very little land is available for open
space acquisition. It is assumed that
approximately 3 acres of land could be
acquired or otherwise preserved through
land use (easements, etc.) as open space
including new corridors along Willow
Creek and Shell Creek. This would result
in a recommended standard of 1.88.
Gateways / Entrances
EXISTING CONDITIONS
Currently, there are various
gateways/entrances in the Edmonds
area, the most prominent of which are on
SR 104 and at the ferry loading
intersection at Brackett’s Landing parks.
Gateways/Entrances are opportunities to
make an initial visual impression on
newcomers and visitors to Edmonds
either at the political boundary or key
intersections within the city. More detailed
discussion of gateways and entrances is
contained in the 2006 adopted
Streetscape Plan.
Maintenance Impacts
It is important that gateways/entrances
are maintained in attractive condition
since they furnish the initial image of the
City for visitors. These areas generally
require frequent maintenance.
PUBLIC COMMENTS AND TRENDS
Public Process Results
Visibility of the city from regional
transportation corridors was a
concern raised by the community.
An international gateway from the
east at Highway 99 is a developed
concept in the Streetscape Plan that
is supported by the community. The
City is currently working on an
enhancements project in this area
which includes signage.
Trends
Gateways/ Entrances have become a
high priority for communities to
establish a sense of place and convey
the community’s character.
DETERMINATION OF DEMAND STANDARD FOR
GATEWAYS/ENTRANCES
It is recommended that additional land be
acquired or right-of-way obtained for
gateway/entrance projects, likely in
coordination with transportation
improvements. In addition improved
signage, landscape and other elements
should be considered at gateway or
entrance areas as outlined in the
Streetscape Plan. The existing SR 104
sign should be updated to reflect its role
as a “Downtown Entrance” and new
signage should coordinate with the City
Way-finding Sign Program standards.
Connections
EXISTING CONDITIONS
Connections are created through
improved pedestrian and bicycle routes,
linear parks, and visual connections that
may include scenic corridors or
incorporation of public art. Two major
connections projects are in the planning
stages. Planning for the Interurban Trail,
a multi-use pathway, is nearing
completion. The 4th Avenue Cultural
Corridor is a pedestrian enhancement in
the downtown core that is currently in
early planning stages.
Bicycle and Walkway Plans are included
in the transportation element of the City’s
Comprehensive Plan. There are a
number of corridors and routes commonly
used, but not necessarily identified
throughout Edmonds. View corridors are
present, but currently not officially
identified.
Maintenance Impacts
The maintenance of most connections is
low compared to other types of
Community Needs Assessment Page 4-7
Packet Page 195 of 466
Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan City of Edmonds
recreational facilities. Furthermore,
bicycle and pedestrian groups will often
volunteer as caretakers at trails and other
pathways.
PUBLIC COMMENTS AND TRENDS
Survey Results
Expanded bicycle, walking, multi-use
and waterfront walkways were among
the most highly rated items in the
surveys.
Multi-modal connections to all types of
parks facilities generated a lot of
interest.
Public Process Results
Some participants felt that street ends
that are adjacent to the waterfront
should be marked on trail plans as
viewpoints. Some thought they should
have stairways to water’s edge and be
incorporated into the trails plan.
Crossing the tracks at any of these
street ends is illegal and extremely
dangerous.
Generally, participants wanted better
connections within the existing trail
systems, and expansions to meet up
with other systems and popular
locations.
The community supported view
corridor preservation at the southern
entrance to the city via SR 104 and of
scenic corridors in general, which
provide visibility to the city’s natural
assets.
A lot of discussion centered on ideas
for better connections between the
downtown and waterfront areas. Ideas
ranged from a pedestrian/bicycle
overpass to more pedestrian scale
improvements at grade such as
lighting, paving and public art.
Trends
In the Northwest, interest in trail
related activities (walking, hiking,
bicycling, rollerblading and jogging),
has shown a remarkable increase in
the last 5 years. Locally, trail related
activities and recreational walking are
very popular.
Annual community events include the:
Fall Color Classic. Annual Cascade
Bicycle Club event includes ferry ride
across Puget Sound and routes of
various distances in Kitsap County.
Get Your Guts in Gear 3-day ride in
support of Crohn’s Disease research.
Trek Tri-Island 3-day ride in support of
the American Lung Association.
Local community sponsored 5k and
10k fun runs.
DETERMINATION OF DEMAND STANDARD FOR
CONNECTIONS
There are only a few opportunities to
develop trails, scenic corridors or other
linear parks such as the Interurban Trail
corridor. However, there are many
opportunities to develop interconnecting
trails through natural open space areas.
Public access into these areas should be
encouraged with care where
environmentally sensitive areas need
protection from public intrusion.
Prioritization should be made for
completing the existing bicycle and
pedestrian route system including loop
routes in every community.
Completing the Interurban Trail section
through Edmonds is essential since trail
sections have already been completed
north and south of Edmonds through the
cities of Lynnwood, Mountlake Terrace,
and Shoreline. The Interurban Trail will
benefit both recreational and commuting
bicyclists.
The 4th Avenue Cultural Corridor project
is an example of a pedestrian focused
linear park being incorporated into the
downtown fabric. Similar projects can be
pursued using the land resources the city
Page 4-8 Community Needs Assessment
Packet Page 196 of 466
City of Edmonds Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan
already owns or can partner with other
agencies to implement.
Establishment of planned and signed
walking routes can assist residents in
finding suitable places to exercise and
provide safety by notifying vehicular traffic
to the presence of pedestrians. A map of
these routes and trailheads can be
provided through the Parks, Recreation
and Cultural Services department.
Scenic corridors provide visual
connections within the city and to
surrounding natural features. As the city
develops, it is recommended to identify
and preserve the most valuable view
corridors.
Providing connections, in general, will
take the forms of planning, preserving
and developing appropriate routes,
sometimes in conjunction with roadway
projects in the city.
Beautification Areas
EXISTING CONDITIONS
Beautification areas currently include
flower baskets, medians, street trees,
corner parks and public art sites, and the
grounds of several city buildings.
Maintenance Impacts
Beautification areas require a significant
amount of maintenance.
PUBLIC COMMENTS AND TRENDS
• The community continues to
support the beautification area
programs.
DETERMINATION OF DEMAND STANDARD FOR
BEAUTIFICATION AREAS
When additional maintenance is available
Beautification Areas should continue to
be improved and expanded, especially
when partnerships with residents and
local businesses can be formed.
RECREATION FACILITIES AND
PROGRAMS
On the following pages, specific needs for
each type of facility are discussed. The
facility categories include:
Children’s Play Areas
Pathways/Trails
Sports Fields
Swimming Pools
Tennis and Basketball Courts
Recreation Programs and Activities
Methodology of Assessing Need for
Recreation Facilities
Establishing needs for recreation facilities
was derived from an analysis of existing
conditions, needs expressed in the
survey, needs identified in the public
process, input from the stakeholders and
from national or state trends.
On the following pages, the needs for
specific types of facilities are discussed.
Children’s Play Areas
EXISTING CONDITIONS
There are 12 children’s play areas in
Edmonds’ parks. In addition, there are 6
school sites accessible to the public.
Service Area
The service area for children’s play areas
is the same as that of a neighborhood
park, or one-half mile radius.
Maintenance Impacts
Children’s play areas require frequent
maintenance and scheduled replacement.
Safety surfacing must be maintained at
an appropriate depth and free of foreign
objects. Play equipment should be
inspected frequently for safety hazards
such as loose connections and worn
fittings.
Community Needs Assessment Page 4-9
Packet Page 197 of 466
Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan City of Edmonds
PUBLIC COMMENTS AND TRENDS
Trends
An innovative children’s play area can
provide quality play experiences for
children. Several communities in the
Northwest have begun developing
imaginative children’s play areas
designed to be universally accessible and
responsive to children’s developmental
needs. The play areas may interpret the
area’s history or culture and may
incorporate art elements and water play.
DETERMINATION OF DEMAND STANDARD
It is recommended the City provide
children’s play areas within a one-half
mile radius of all residents.
Update play areas as required and
continue to meet current safety
standards.
Sports Fields
EXISTING CONDITIONS
In the Edmonds Park System, there are 4
regulation fields for softball, 4 youth
baseball/softball fields and 6 soccer
fields. While some fields are fairly well
developed, others are in poor condition.
Many of the fields are used as multi-use
fields and considered substandard due to
their quality of development and/or the
outfield dimensions. In addition, as part of
an Edmonds School District levy and
bond package, taxpayers provided $10
million in 2004 for 18 playgrounds, play
field and outdoor area upgrades and
development. Several of these projects
have been completed including field turf
at high schools and drainage and safety
improvements at several others.
Service Area
While the service area of a baseball or
softball field is often considered to be a
1/2-mile radius, or the same as a
neighborhood park, many communities
have favored the development of fields
into complexes. In Edmonds, the
Meadowdale Athletic Complex meets this
definition. The service area for soccer
fields is generally considered to be a 1-
mile to 2-mile radius, or that of a
community park.
Maintenance Impacts
Unless fields are made of synthetic
materials, opposed to natural turf, the
maintenance and operation of sports
fields is labor intensive. Currently, most
sports fields are located on school district
property or in city parks.
PUBLIC COMMENTS AND TRENDS
Survey Results
The need for new or improved sports
fields ranked moderately compared to
other proposed facilities.
The upgrading of existing fields
ranked much higher than the addition
of new fields.
Public Process Results
The community expressed a need for
more availability of fields, especially
for adults. Many teams have to drive a
long distance for field availability
and/or have to play at undesirable
times of the day.
The community supported
development of existing fields to
increase use levels (all-weather,
lighting, etc.).
Relative to other park projects, the
development of sports fields only
received moderate support.
A general support for a field complex
was seen, as this allows for larger
tournament play.
Trends
Youth baseball/softball and soccer
involvement continues to increase.
Page 4-10 Community Needs Assessment
Packet Page 198 of 466
City of Edmonds Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan
Youth soccer and baseball are
especially popular and co-ed adult
leagues are also increasing.
DETERMINATION OF DEMAND STANDARD FOR
FIELDS
Additional fields should be provided as
new park sites are considered at both the
neighborhood and community park levels.
An additional 4 soccer fields could be
developed for a recommended standard
of 0.20. 1 new baseball field could be
developed for a recommended standard
of 0.02. 1 new softball field could be
developed for a recommended standard
of 0.11. 4 new youth baseball/softball
fields could be developed for a
recommended standard of 0.18. In
addition to new facilities, the improvement
of existing fields to all-weather surfacing
with lights can improve usability.
Swimming Pools
EXISTING CONDITIONS – OUTDOOR POOLS
Yost Pool was built in 1972. The facility is
a handicap accessible seasonal pool with
a holding capacity of 250,00 gallons of
water. The 25 meter x 25 yard pool is L-
shaped and has a spa that can
accommodate 10 people. A pool
feasibility study has been approved and
will take place in 2008.
EXISTING CONDITIONS – INDOOR POOLS
There are 2 indoor pools in the Edmonds
area; both are in private ownership.
The existing pool facilities are well
developed and at near capacity.
Service Area
The service area for a swimming pool is
15-minutes to 30-minutes of travel time.
Larger pools are often considered to be a
more regional facility.
Maintenance Impacts
The maintenance and operation of a pool
facility is high compared to other types of
recreation facilities.
PUBLIC COMMENTS AND TRENDS
Survey Results
A regional pool scored as an equal
priority to regional trails and came in as a
high priority overall.
Public Process Results
Public meeting participants identified
the need for a year round aquatics
center, either indoor or outdoor and
covered.
Trends
On a national scale, swimming
continues to be a very popular
recreation activity.
DETERMINATION OF DEMAND STANDARD FOR
INDOOR POOLS
The level of service should be increased
to provide future indoor pool space.
Tennis and Basketball Courts
EXISTING CONDITIONS
The City of Edmonds has 4 tennis courts.
and 7 basketball courts. In addition, there
are 8 tennis courts and 4 basketball
courts on Edmonds School District
property available during non-school
hours.
Service Area
Tennis and Basketball courts should be
available within a 1-mile to 2-mile radius
of residents, or similar to a community
park service area.
Maintenance Impacts
Tennis and Basketball courts require
minimal maintenance compared to
recreation facilities with soft surfaces.
Community Needs Assessment Page 4-11
Packet Page 199 of 466
Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan City of Edmonds
PUBLIC COMMENTS AND TRENDS
Survey Results
Outdoor courts of all types ranked
lower in priority than other types of
sports facilities
Trends
Tennis has gone through a number of up
and down interest trends in the past.
However, recent participation levels and
interest has been fairly constant.
Basketball remains a popular sport for all
ages in most communities.
DETERMINATION OF DEMAND STANDARD FOR
COURTS
It is recommended that an additional
three tennis courts be added for a
recommended service level of 0.20. It is
recommended that an additional five
basketball courts be added for a
recommended service level of 0.36.
Recreation Programs
EXISTING CONDITIONS - RECREATION
The Department provides a broad range
of recreation programs and activities for
all ages. See Chapter 3.
PUBLIC COMMENTS AND TRENDS
Survey Results
The highest ranked recreation
programs were summer programs,
before/after school activities, teen
activities, youth athletic programs,
fitness classes, and senior programs.
To accommodate future recreation
programs, increasing user fees is the
most popular form of funding.
Public Meeting Results
Public meeting participants were
interested in additional programs,
particularly for teens and seniors.
A greater diversity of programs was
generally supported, including popular
new sporting activities and cultural
activities.
CULTURAL SERVICES FACILITIES
AND PROGRAMS
Cultural Facilities
The community has expressed an interest
in enhanced or new multipurpose arts
facilities particularly for the visual arts.
Support was also expressed for public
gathering spaces that may be used for
visual and performing art activities for
people of all ages.
PUBLIC COMMENT
Public Meeting Results
The public expressed interest in the
City providing support for existing
facilities, such as the Edmonds
Center for the Arts, and the possibility
of expanded and shared uses of
existing facilities.
Interest in more downtown mixed use
cultural venues, possibly addressing
visual art needs.
Comments suggested that the City be
more proactive in design guidelines
and code to encourage inclusion of
small public spaces in downtown
mixed use developments that include
public art or support cultural activities.
Cultural Services
Cultural Services provides a range of
programs for varied ages in literary, visual
and performing arts, and serves as a
central information center for the network
of artists, art organizations, and art
programs in Edmonds. The staffing
provided by the City enhances the
viability of all the private art organizations
in Edmonds. In addition Cultural Services
works to ensure that arts and cultural
elements are included in general planning
Page 4-12 Community Needs Assessment
Packet Page 200 of 466
City of Edmonds Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan
initiatives and economic development
citywide.
Public Meeting Results
There was a general interest in seeing
more public art in the city, with an
emphasis on greater variety and
general recognition of growing cultural
diversity.
PUBLIC COMMENT
Survey Results
The highest priority in the cultural
facilities category was improvements
to the Edmonds Center for the Arts. Using the 4th Avenue Cultural Corridor
to strengthen the connectivity of
cultural venues such as the South
County Historical Museum and Log
Cabin and ECA, as well as, the
connectivity of the downtown to
waterfront was popular with the
community.

Action Plan
This chapter contains a summary of the
assessed need and specific
recommendations for the development,
acquisition and management of the Park
System in Edmonds. The following
elements are addressed:
Parks and Open Space
Recreation Facilities & Programs
Cultural Services, Facilities and
Programs
Maintenance and Operations
Administration
PARKS AND OPEN SPACE
Overall Concept
The ideal Park System for a community is
made up of various park types, each
offering certain recreation and/or open
space opportunities. Separately, a park
type may serve only one basic function,
but collectively they can serve the needs
of the community. By recognizing this
concept, Edmonds can develop an
efficient and cost effective Park System
that meets most of the community’s
needs. In addition, by attaching
implementation policies to each park type,
where applicable, it is easy to understand
how the park is to be developed,
maintained, and used.
The basic concept is to assure that every
neighborhood in the City of Edmonds is
served by a neighborhood or community
park. Neighborhood and community parks
form the core of the Park System for
Edmonds.
Recommended Plan
The Recommended Plan map is a
graphic concept for a future park system
in Edmonds. It includes the
recommended actions from this chapter in
a graphic format to show locations and
connections.
Neighborhood Parks
ASSESSED NEED
Based on the needs assessment, 4
additional neighborhood parks totaling 7
acres are needed to serve the Edmonds
planning area.
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS
City staff should work with private
developers and property owners in the
downtown area to encourage public
spaces with new or re-developed sites.
Cooperating with schools to develop,
manage and maintain recreation facilities
for use by the public is a cost-effective
way to increase the community’s total
recreation opportunity. It should
supplement, but not necessarily replace,
traditional neighborhood parks.
Develop additional neighborhood park
elements on the following school sites:
Westgate Elementary School
Madrona Elementary School
Develop neighborhood park elements in
existing open space areas including:
Maplewood Hill Park
Acquiring new neighborhood park sites in
the one-half mile radius areas
surrounding:
Puget Drive and Olympic View Drive
76th Ave. W and 180th St. SE
206th St. SW and 80th Ave. W
228th St. SW and Highway 99
Improve existing parks and open space
sites as shown on Table 6.1.
Action Plan Page 6-1
Packet Page 208 of 466
Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan City of Edmonds
IMPLEMENTATION POLICIES
General Guidelines
Acquisition of land for neighborhood
parks should occur in advance of their
need.
As a built-out community Edmonds
should consider acquisition of
property in neighborhood park deficit
areas.
Site Selection Criteria
Under most conditions, neighborhood
parks should be no smaller than one
acre in size, with optimum size being
four to seven acres. If the park is
located on a school site or within the
proposed open space system,
optimum park size may be reduced
depending upon the school facilities
provided or the configuration of the
open space area.
At least 50 percent of the site should
be flat and usable, and provide space
for active and passive uses.
Where possible, streets should abut
the park on at least one side.
The site should be reasonably central
to the neighborhood it is intended to
serve.
If possible, the park should have
direct access to a sidewalk or trail.
Access routes should minimize
physical barriers and crossing of
major roadways.
The site should be visible from
adjoining streets.
Additional access points via paved
Page 6-2 Action Plan
Packet Page 209 of 466
City of Edmonds Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan
pathways or sidewalks from the
adjoining neighborhood should be
provided.
Design and Development Recommendations
Park features may include:
Children’s play areas (toddlers,
children)
Unstructured open play areas
Multi-use sports fields, primarily for
youth play
Tennis courts
Basketball courts
Picnic areas
Shelter building (small)
Natural open space
Internal trails and/or pathways
Site amenities such as picnic tables,
benches, bike racks, drinking
fountains, trash receptacles, etc.)
Other features as appropriate
A minimum of one parking space per acre
of usable active park area should be
provided to accommodate both handicap
and standard parking. If on-street parking
is available, this standard can be
reduced. Design should encourage
access by foot or bicycle.
Restrooms (permanent or portable) are
appropriate for this type of park but must
be near and visible from the adjoining
street.

Community Parks
ASSESSED NEED
Based on the needs assessment, one
additional community park is needed to
cover the Edmonds planning area. At an
average size of twenty acres, this
amounts to roughly twenty additional
acres of land.
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS
Develop an active community park at
the Former Woodway High School or
other location in the south end
planning area.
Develop an additional skate facility in
the south end planning area.
Follow recommendations for existing
community parks as shown on Table
6.2.
IMPLEMENTATION POLICIES
General Guidelines
Because of size, the acquisition of
community park land should occur in
advance of its need.
A community park should be
constructed when the area it will serve
reaches about 50 percent
development (measured by either
acreage developed, or ultimate
service population).
Wherever feasible, community parks
should be developed adjacent to
middle or high school sites.
Site Selection Criteria
Minimum size should be roughly 10
acres with the optimum about 20 to 30
acres.
At least one-half of the site should be
available for active recreation use.
Adequate buffers should separate
active use areas from nearby homes
or other uses on the site.
If possible, walking or bicycling
distance should not exceed 1-mile to
2-miles for the area it serves.
The site should be visible from
adjoining streets.
Access should be via a collector or
arterial street.
Design and Development Recommendations
Appropriate facilities include:
Designated lighted sports fields
(softball, baseball, soccer, etc.)
Tennis courts
Outdoor basketball courts
Sand or grass volleyball courts
Open multi-use grass area
Children’s play areas (toddlers,
children)
Restrooms
Picnic areas
Picnic shelters (various sizes)
Group picnic facilities
Natural open space
Trails and pathway systems
Art elements and outdoor sculpture
Covered performance area
Site amenities (picnic tables,
benches, bike racks, drinking
fountains, trash receptacles, etc.)
Parking requirements are dependent
upon the facilities provided.
Permanent restrooms are appropriate for
this type of park but should be located in
highly visible areas and near public
streets.

City of Edmonds Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan
Regional Parks
The overall intent should be to develop a
continuous public shoreline access so a
person could walk from Marina Beach
north to Brackett’s Landing and on to
Haines Tidelands and Meadowdale
Beach during low tide without trespassing
on private property. This provides a
continuous waterfront link between the
Edmonds shoreline and the Washington
Water Trails system.
ASSESSED NEED
Based on the needs assessment fifteen
extra acres of land may be available for
regional parkland.
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS
Acquire and develop seven additional
acres of waterfront property for
regional park use.
Acquire near shore tidelands
whenever feasible.
Institute an Adopt-a-Beach program to
involve volunteers in keeping the
tidelands free of litter and debris.
Develop and implement marketing
plan to ensure future sustainability.
Complete changes shown on Table
6.3.
Publicize the tax advantages of
donating near shore tidelands to the
City.
Upgrade restrooms and continue jetty
repair at Brackett’s Landing.
Connect Olympic Beach Walkway to
the Senior Center.
Maintain Brackett’s Landing Park at a
high level due to its visibility and
prominence as the gateway to
Edmonds from the Kitsap Peninsula.
Take advantage of opportunities to
acquire additional parkland for
regional parks, particularly on the
waterfront.
Pursue partnerships with other
communities for the development of a
tournament level sports complex.
IMPLEMENTATION POLICIES
General Guidelines
Prior to the development of any
specialized facility, a detailed cost
benefit analysis and maintenance
impact statement should be prepared.
The minimum size of a site will
depend on the function it serves. Sites
should be in keeping with the scale of
the facilities and large enough to
accommodate setbacks and support
facilities (e.g., parking, landscaping,
etc.) as needed.

Provide new off-leash area if existing
site is displaced by a new ferry
terminal or future development
activities.
Retain salmon hatchery partnership.
Complete seismic retrofit of Frances
Anderson Center.
Complete Dayton Street Plaza
renovation.
IMPLEMENTATION POLICIES
General Guidelines
Prior to the development of any
specialized facility, a detailed cost
benefit analysis and maintenance
impact statement should be prepared.
The minimum size of a site will
depend on the function it serves. Sites
should be in keeping with the scale of
the facilities and large enough to
accommodate setbacks and support
facilities (e.g., parking, landscaping,
etc.) as needed.
Site Selection Criteria
If possible, specialized facilities
should be reasonably central to the
community or the area they are
intended to serve.
Facilities that generate significant
traffic should be located on a collector
or arterial roadway to minimize
impacts on residential areas.
Design and Development Recommendations
Design criteria will depend upon the
facilities and activities proposed.
Parking requirements are dependent
on the activities offered.

Gateways/Entrance Areas
ASSESSED NEED
Attractive gateways and entrance areas
provide a memorable visual image of
Edmonds to visitors and travelers passing
through.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Pursue partnerships with Washington
Department of Transportation,
Snohomish County, King County, and
City of Edmonds Public Works, to
create gateways at all major
entrances to the City.
Implement Gateway/Entrance
concepts as developed in the
Streetscape Plan.
Add or update signs in accordance
with City Wayfinding Signage
Program Standards.
Connections
ASSESSED NEED
An additional 5.5 miles of walkways and
8.7 miles of bicycle routes are needed to
meet the needs assessment.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Work with engineering division to
update Bikeway and Walkway Plan.
Develop a system of on-street marked
connections and loop routes with
signage, trailheads and distances.
Complete the Edmonds section of the
Interurban Trail to connect with
sections completed by the Cities of
Lynnwood, Mountlake Terrace, and
Shoreline.
Work with transportation engineering
to update the current bicycle route
map for route safety and
completeness of bikeway routes.
Develop multi-use trails, suitable for
all ages, primarily along designated
loop routes
Create trail connections to hatchery.
Strengthen connections between
downtown and the waterfront through
both visual and physical site
improvements.
Complete the 4th Avenue Cultural
Corridor.
IMPLEMENTATION POLICIES
The following guidelines, site selection
criteria and development standards apply
to trails and pathways. Sidewalks within
public street right-of-ways should be
developed where they serve as a linkage
between the neighborhood and a park or
a major trail system.
General Guidelines
Trails following along stream corridors
and drainage ways can provide
natural linkages between urban
development and recreational areas.
Trails should be planned, sized,
designed and located to minimize
their impacts on the ecological
functions of stream corridors and to
minimize the impacts of unplanned
access in and near these drainage
ways. Where there is a narrow band
of riparian vegetation along a stream,
parallel trails should generally be
located outside the riparian area.
Continue to provide trail connections,
resting points and links to the
Washington Waterways Trail System.
Encourage developers to provide and
build pathways and trail amenities
within their proposed developments
that link with the City’s overall trail
system.
Trails easements, dedications, and
development need to occur prior to or
at the time of development.
Action Plan Page 6-13
Packet Page 220 of 466
Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan City of Edmonds
The City should be sensitive to private
owners when trails are proposed next
to them.
In previously developed areas, trails
shall be sited through purchase or
conservation easements from willing
property owners and alternative
routing may be considered when
necessary. As a last resort, the City
Council may need to use its authority
to condemn private lands to complete
sections of a citywide trail system.
Support the Port of Edmonds in the
provision of viewpoints, waterfront
walkways, trail corridors and
connections as a part of their Master
Plan.
The Parks, Recreation and Cultural
Services Department should work with
the Engineering Division to update
trail standards to reflect additional
alternative design concepts for
recreation related trails.
Site Selection Criteria
Wherever feasible, recreation
pathways and trails should be located
off streets. However, on-street
systems (sidewalks, bike lanes, etc.)
may be used in order to complete
connections, when needed.
Trails and walkways should be
developed throughout the community
to provide linkages to schools, parks
and other destination points.
Design and Development Recommendations
Trail alignments should take into
account soil conditions, steep slopes,
surface drainage and other physical
limitations that could increase
construction and/or maintenance
costs.
Walkways and pedestrian routes
should be planned, sized and
designed for multiple uses, except for
dedicated nature trails and areas that
cannot be developed to the standard
necessary to minimize potential user
conflicts.
Design standards for trails should be
developed and incorporated into the
City’s Development Standards.
Where possible, trails should be multi-
modal. Some trails should be
designed to accommodate children
and family cycling.
Walkways should be designed per
engineering standards as pedestrian
friendly corridors.

recommendations for connection in the
Edmonds planning area.

RECREATION FACILITIES
Children’s Play Areas
ASSESSED NEED
Age-appropriate play areas for toddlers
and school-age children should be
provided within walking distance of all
residents.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Provide age-appropriate play areas for
toddlers and school-age children in each
neighborhood and community park.
Cooperate with the Edmonds School
District to provide play areas on school
grounds when parkland is not available.
IMPLEMENTATION POLICIES
The following guidelines, site selection
criteria and development standards apply
to children’s play environments.
Children’s play environments should
be separated from streets by fences,
barrier plantings, or other recreation
facilities.
Separate age-appropriate play areas
should be provided for toddlers and
school-age children.
Play elements should meet current
safety standards and be accessible to
children with and without disabilities.
Sports Fields
The community favored the improvement
of existing fields, and increased
partnerships with school sites to increase
play capacity, instead of building new
fields. However, there is need for more
facilities and any opportunity for new
facilities will benefit long-term levels of
service as population grows.
ASSESSED NEED – BASEBALL FIELDS
There is a need for 1 regulation baseball
field to support adult league play.
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS
A baseball field can best be developed as
part of a new or redeveloped community
park.
ASSESSED NEED – SOFTBALL FIELDS
There is no additional need for softball
fields.
ASSESSED NEED – YOUTH BASEBALL/SOFTBALL
There is a need for 3 additional youth
baseball/softball fields.
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS
Youth baseball/softball fields can best be
developed as part of a new or
redeveloped community park.
Partnerships and improvements at school
sites may also increase levels of play on
existing fields.
ASSESSED NEED – SOCCER FIELDS
There is a need for 1 additional regulation
soccer field and 3 additional U6-U14
youth fields.
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS
Soccer fields can best be developed as
part of a new or redeveloped community
park or neighborhood park. Partnerships
and improvements at school sites may
also increase levels of play on existing
fields.
Swimming Pools
ASSESSED NEED
There is a need for year-round access to
a public swimming pool.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Due to the age of Yost Pool (constructed
in 1972) and the increasing costs of
maintenance, funds are available in the
2008 CIP budget to conduct a feasibility
study of Yost Pool or other community
options for a pool facility. Alternatives will
be examined to determine costs and
Page 6-16 Action Plan
Packet Page 223 of 466
City of Edmonds Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan
various options related to this site or
alternate sites.
Tennis Courts
ASSESSED NEED
3 additional tennis courts should be
developed to maintain the needs
assessment for the growing population.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Tennis courts can be developed as part of
any community or regional park
development and should serve the
population in a 1 to 2 mile radius.
RECREATION PROGRAMS
ASSESSED NEED
The current recreation program offered by
the City is quite extensive but limited in
any further expansion by the lack of
indoor facilities or additional sports fields.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Discovery Programs
Expand hours of Beach Ranger
Station at Olympic Beach.
Develop a full-scale, year-round
interpretive center at Willow Creek
Hatchery.
Youth Programs
The 2001 Youth Advisory Committee
envisions Edmonds “as a community
committed to the positive involvement,
safety and growth of all of our youth.”
Their goals are:
Create and sustain a community-wide
sense of common purpose in
promoting the positive development of
all youth to increase the average
number of assets.
Help youth feel connected to and
valued by the community and help the
community to value youth.
Increase access to recreational and
social opportunities for youth.
This vision challenges everyone to
support the positive development of
youth, one individual at a time, and to
accept personal and collective
responsibility for his or her growth and
development. Youth represent an
important resource as current citizens and
as future leaders of the community.
Ideas/recommendations for what
everyone can do to help the youth
succeed are contained in the Community
Youth Report, which is an element of this
plan.
Aquatic Programs
The City currently provides swim lessons,
recreation swimming, and swim team time
in an outdoor pool. Based on the
experiences of other cities, Edmonds
could expect to significantly increase its
recreation program with the construction
of an indoor pool / recreation center.
Cultural Programs
Recommendations for Cultural Programs
are contained in the Community Cultural
Plan Update.
Senior Citizens Programs
Continue to contract annually for senior
citizens services from the South County
Senior Citizens Center. The program
range of services responds to the
services and activities in compliance with
the National Council on Aging Standards.
CULTURAL SERVICES FACILITIES
AND PROGRAMS
ASSESSED NEED
Promote and sustain a vibrant cultural
community through proactive partnerships
and civic leadership, a network of
successful cultural facilities, effective
marketing and outreach strategies, and
broad participation in a diverse range of
cultural offerings.

improved facilities, and opportunities
to provide more diversified activities
for the visual arts, teens and seniors.
Commit City resources and
encourage private commitment to the
acquisition and development of small,
shared public spaces with art
amenities or public art enhancements.
Ensure that the cultural community is
represented and considered in all City
planning activities, economic
development initiatives and capital
investments to ensure an arts-friendly
community focus.

City of Edmonds Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan
Funding Plan
This section outlines strategies for
funding improvements of parks,
recreation and cultural facilities.
CAPITAL PROJECTS
This section lists specific
recommendations along with potential
sources of funding. The summary of this
planning process is shown in the 6-year
capital improvement plan identified in
Table 7.1.
Project Priorities
The following priorities are recommended
for funding capital projects (not in order).

play areas citywide
Arts planning
LOW PRIORITY
Develop new neighborhood parks
in underserved neighborhoods
Off-leash park, boat launch and
skateboard elements
Funding Sources
The following are possible funding
sources for the planning, acquisition,
development and maintenance of parks,
open space and other recreational areas.
1. General Fund: This source comes
from taxes, fees and other charges. It
provides money for general
operations and maintenance. Capital
projects are occasionally funded from
this source when the capacity exists,
usually via a transfer of funds to the
Capital Improvement Fund.
2. Real Estate Excise Tax (REET):
This is a tax imposed at the time of a
real estate sale. There are two
components of the tax, Fund 125 and
126. The rate of each is one-fourth of
one percent of the property’s sale
price. Revenues derived from each
of these components are dedicated
through City Council action to be
used for park,recreation, open space
and cultural facility capital purposes.
Revenue from this fund should be
estimated conservatively as the real
estate market can be volatile.
Funding Plan Page 7-1
Packet Page 228 of 466
Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan City of Edmonds
Fund 126, the first one-fourth of one
percent, can be used for acquisition and
development. From 2005 to 2007, it
generated about $1,400,000 annually. It
pays the debt service for the purchase of
City Hall, Marina Beach and Edmonds
Center for the Arts as well as Library
Plaza improvements and the city portion
of the Anderson Center Seismic retrofit.
Fund 125, the second one-fourth of one
percent, also generated about $1,400,000
from 2005 to 2007. The first $750,000 is
used for park development. Additional
funds collected are directed to Fund 112
which can be used for transportation
improvements including walkways,
bikeways, and the Interurban Trail as well
as traditional road improvements.
Acquisition is not allowed with 2nd Qtr.
REET.
3. General Obligation Bond: These are
voter-approved or Councilmatic
bonds with the assessment placed
on real property. The money can only
be used for capital improvements
and not maintenance. This property
tax is levied for a specified period of
time (usually 20 years to 30 years).
Passage of voter-ratified bond
requires a 60 percent majority vote,
while Councilmatic bonds require
only a majority of the City Council.
One disadvantage of using this type
of levy may be the interest costs.
4. Revenue Bonds: These bonds are
sold and paid from the revenue
produced as a guarantee for the
operation of a facility or enterprise.
5. HUD Block Grants: Grants from the
federal Department of Housing and
Urban Development and
administered by Snohomish County
as Community Development Block
Grants (CDBG) are available for a
wide variety of projects. Most are
distributed in the lower income areas
of the community. Grants can be up
to 100 percent of project cost. ADA
access projects are eligible for this
funding. The South County Senior
Center 2003-2005 capital project
awards from this program totaled
$480,000.
6. Park Impact Fees: Park Impact Fees
are fees imposed on new
development to mitigate the impact
of new development on the City’s
park system. Impact fees can be
used only for parkland acquisition
and/or development. The City does
not utilize this funding mechanism at
this time. Because growth is only one
percent per year on average, this
option may not be worth the effort.
Impact fee collection in addition to
REET may be seen as double
taxation which was not the intent of
the state legislation allowing impact
fees.
7. Certificates of Participation: This is
a lease-purchase approach where a
city sells Certificates of Participation
(COP's) to a lending institution. The
City then pays the loan off from
revenue produced by the facility or
from its general operating budget.
The lending institution holds title to
the property until the COP's are
repaid. This procedure does not
require a vote of the public.
Page 7-2 Funding Plan
Packet Page 229 of 466
City of Edmonds Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan
8. Donations: The donation of labor,
land, or cash by service agencies,
private groups, or individuals is a
popular way to raise small amounts
of money for specific projects. Such
service agencies as the Kiwanis and
Rotary often fund, or augment
available funding, for projects such
as playground improvements. The
Rotary Pavilion (completed in 2006)
at Edmonds City Park is a good
example. Another example would be
the Edmonds Arts Festival
Foundation funding for public art.
9. Public Land Trusts: Land trusts
such as the Trust for Public Land,
Inc., and the Nature Conservancy will
acquire and hold land for eventual
acquisition by a public agency or
broker cooperative partnerships. In
most cases, they are primarily
interested in large blocks of natural
open space. As a result, this may not
be a viable option for Edmonds.
10. Lifetime Estates: This is an
agreement between a landowner and
the City where the City buys or
receives by donation a piece of land
and the City gives the owner the right
to live on the site after it is sold for
the lifetime of the owner (i.e. Hutt
Park).
11. Exchange of Property: An
exchange of property between a
private landowner and the City can
occur. For example, the City could
exchange an unneeded site for a
potential park site currently under
private ownership.
12. Joint Public/Private Partnership:
The basic approach is for a public
agency to enter into a working
agreement with a private corporation
to help fund, build and/or operate a
public facility. Generally, the three
primary incentives a public agency
can offer is free land to place a
facility (usually a park or other piece
of public land), certain tax
advantages, and access to the
facility. While the public agency may
have to give up certain
responsibilities or control, it is one
way of obtaining public facilities at a
lower cost.
13. Public Facilities District: In 1999,
Chapter 165 of Washington State law
provided the ability for cities to
establish a public facilities district
(PFD). The legislation specifically
authorized acquisition, construction,
and ownership of regional
convention, conference, or special
event centers (RCW 35.57.020.) This
option was one source used to
purchase and construct the Edmonds
Center for the Arts.
14. Private Grants and Foundations:
Private grants and foundations
provide money for a wide range of
projects. Many grants are available
for environmental protection. In
addition, community improvement
grants are available through The
Hubbard Family Foundation, Rotary,
the McDevitt Family Foundation,
Friends of the Edmonds Library, and
Edmonds Art Festival Foundation
among others.
15. Salmon Recovery Grant: The
Salmon Recovery Board administers
grants to provide funding of habitat
Funding Plan Page 7-3
Packet Page 230 of 466
Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan City of Edmonds
protection and restoration projects
and related programs and activities
that produce sustainable and
measurable benefits for fish and their
habitat. Eligible applicants include
local governments, private
landowners, conservation districts,
Native American tribes, non-profit
organizations, and special service
districts.
Projects require a minimum of 15%
match with no upper limit on the
grant amount. Grants may be used
for acquisition, in-stream diversion,
in-stream passage, in-stream habitat,
riparian habitat, and upland habitat,
estuarine/marine near shore, and
assessments and studies.
16. County, State and Federal Grants:
Snohomish County provides grant
opportunities through the
Conservation Futures funding
program, and the County Council’s
Neighborhood Fund Awards
Program.
Washington State provides various
grants for public recreation
acquisition and development through
the Recreation & Conservation
Funding Board (RCO Grants), the
Department of Natural Resources
(DNR), the Department of Ecology’s
Coastal Zone Management (CZM)
programs, and the Washington State
Arts Commission Grant programs.
On the Federal level, Congress
appropriates funds through the Land
and Water Conservation Funds,
FEMA, National Parks Service,
Historic Preservation Congressional
Appropriation and the National
Endowment of the Arts.
Edmonds has been very successful
over the past fifteen years in
obtaining matching grants to secure
and develop substantial parklands for
the community.
17. Increase Local Sales Tax: Cities
can exercise the option to maximize
the collection of sales tax revenue.
Projected revenue can be
determined by calculating the
difference between the current
collection and the maximum
allowable. Tax amounts fluctuate
year to year depending on the
economy.
18. Parks Trust Fund 601: Established
in March 2003 to receive various
types of donations (gift annuities,
stocks, etc.) from the citizenry with
the intent that the interest earned will
be used to assist the cost of
operating, maintaining, and
improving the Flower Program,
Environmental Programs, and Yost
Pool.
19. Gifts Program: The City of Edmonds
Gifts Program was established in
1988 and is administered in the
Parks, Recreation and Cultural
Services Department. This program
provides a means for individuals,
businesses, or organizations to
donate funds for site specific
amenities in our parks. The majority
of donations are given in memory of
a loved one, while others are given
as gifts or to honor loved ones.
Benches, picnic tables, and trees are
the most requested memorial item,
and the waterfront remains the most
popular site for benches. In 2007,
three viewing scopes (Olympic
Beach, Senior Center, and Brackett’s
Page 7-4 Funding Plan
Packet Page 231 of 466
City of Edmonds Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan
Landing North) were added to the
waterfront through the Gifts Catalog
Program.
Capital Improvement Plan
The following is a funding strategy for
implementing the action plan outlined in
Chapter 6. Proposed projects, estimated
costs, and potential revenue sources are
shown in Table 7.1.
It should be noted that, over time,
priorities change, new funding sources
become available, or opportunities arise
to acquire land or develop a project. As a
requirement of the Washington State
Growth Management Act (GMA), the City
reviews the CIP on an annual basis.
The total cost to meet the recreation and
facility needs in the near term in Edmonds
is placed at approximately $51.5 million.
The key to funding the CIP is the
combination of grants, general obligation
bonds for large projects approved by the
voters (i.e. indoor pool) and the use of the
two one-fourth of one percent Real Estate
Excise Taxes (REET). City Council
approved the dedication of REET (Fund
#125 to $750,000/year & #126) be used
for park acquisition, development and
improvements.
Additional CIP funding is provided for
non-motorized transportation
improvements such as walkway and
crosswalk projects in the Transportation
Fund 112.
Additional CIP funding is provided for
community centers and recreation
facilities in the Building Maintenance
Fund 116.

August 2007
Dear Edmonds Survey Participant:
Thank you for agreeing to participate in our survey. The City of Edmonds is completing
work on the City’s Park, Recreation, Open Space and Cultural Comprehensive Plan. The
plan will determine priorities for park, recreation, open space and cultural programs,
and financing strategies, for the next six year comprehensive planning period
which will impact programs into the foreseeable future. Your opinions will help the
City develop a final plan and financing strategy that reflects the desires and values of the
Edmonds community.
Survey telephone call: Please review the survey questions and the graphic materials
enclosed. The telephone survey team will call to discuss your survey responses in about
1 week. In the meantime, please mark this copy to indicate your response to each
question. You will greatly assist the telephone survey team, and shorten the length
of the phone call, if you have completed the answers and can read your responses
to the survey caller.
To obtain the survey accuracy desired by the city, telephone surveys must be completed
by 200 residents. Therefore, we need your response for the survey to be an accurate
reflection of Edmonds resident opinions. We will continue to call the persons participating
in the survey until we have completed 200 responses. Consequently, please be
prepared so that you may be included within the final sample.
Note - please do not mail your survey - this will slow the response time and could
also jeopardize survey reliability. The city will notify you in writing once 200 surveys
have been completed.
Please contact Brian McIntosh, Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services Director at
(425)771-0256 or mcintosh@ci.edmonds.wa.us if you have any questions about the plan
or this survey.
Sincerely,
CITY OF EDMONDS
Brian McIntosh
Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services Director

SECTION 2: Specific development plan proposals
Please note that where proposed or existing sites are shown, it does not necessarily
imply who would be responsible for providing or enhancing those sites. In many cases,
partnerships may be required with other agencies or organizations to jointly develop or
enhance park, recreation, open space and cultural sites within the city. In addition,
proposals are contingent upon future feasibility and as opportunities may allow. Where
proposed sites are shown jointly with the school district or other organizations and
agencies, proposals are also contingent upon joint approval of those agencies.
How would you prioritize the following proposals – as shown on the attached preliminary
Recommended Plan map?

SECTION 3: Financing Options
The budget of the Parks, Recreation, Open Space and Cultural Services department is made up
of many sources. While most of the budget comes from municipal sources, other resources such
as user fees, partnerships, private donations and various grants make up the total available
budget. Edmonds strives to always explore new financing opportunities.
Growth management
According to the US census in the next 20 years the area’s population could increase by
another 4,300 people (or approximately 11% more than the existing population of 40,500
persons) as lands are developed or redeveloped for more housing.
87 In your opinion, will existing park, recreation, open space
and cultural sites (not including any of the above proposals)
within the city, county, and school district systems be
enough to serve this population increase?
[ 28% ] yes
[ 44% ] no
[ 28% ] don't
know
88 In your opinion, will the proposed park, recreation, open
space and cultural sites described in Section 2 in addition to
existing sites be enough to provide for this population?
[ 58% ] yes
[ 13% ] no
[ 28% ] don't
know
89 In your opinion, will the proposed park, recreation, open
space and cultural sites described above improve your
access and ability to enjoy the park system in Edmonds

Entrepreneurial Financing
The city could support a variety of creative, entrepreneurial opportunities as a means of
financing the acquisition and development of additional park, recreation, open space and
cultural sites. These opportunities can include conservation easements, access
agreements, land lease/trust agreements (i.e., donation or lease of property to city),
revenue bonds, foundations (i.e., non-profit organizations), advertising, sponsorships and
public or private grants. How would you rate the importance of this option?

General obligation bond
City Council could submit a general obligation bond for voter approval as a means of
financing the acquisition and development of park, recreation, and open space sites. The
bond, which cannot be used for operation and maintenance, would generally be financed
over a 20-year period.

Property Tax
City Council could submit a property tax levy for voter approval as a means of financing
the acquisition, development, operation, and maintenance of all city park, recreation,
open space and cultural sites. The property tax levy would provide a dedicated source of
funds with which to provide park, recreation, open space and cultural sites and program
services for a specified amount of time.

Joint venture opportunities
Besides Edmonds - the school district, state, athletic organizations, non-profit
organizations and a variety of other public and private agencies own and operate park,
recreation, open space and cultural sites and programs within the city. These other
agencies can become especially important partners in developing sub-regional sites that
serve a larger population beyond city boundaries, such as aquatic centers, tennis
centers, and community centers. How would you prioritize joint venture projects with the

City of Edmonds Community Cultural Plan
2008 Update
Promote and sustain a vibrant cultural community through proactive partnerships and
civic leadership, a network of successful cultural facilities, effective marketing and
outreach strategies, and broad participation in a diverse range of cultural offerings.
Executive Summary
The 2008 Community Cultural Plan update builds on the strategies and successes of the original
cultural plan completed in 1994 and updated in 2001. The purpose of the plan is to identify
strategies that will:
X guide the City and community in planning for continued cultural development;
X support development and maintenance of cultural facilities;
X integrate cultural planning with other planning efforts citywide; and
X utilize cultural resources as integral aspects of downtown and waterfront redevelopment.
The 2008 update focuses on two big picture objectives that can broadly be categorized as
“Destination” and “Participation.”
“Destination” is an economic development strategy that promotes the range and variety of
cultural offerings in Edmonds to attract visitors, build new audiences, and shape the City’s future
growth with culture as a significant component in urban investment.
“Participation” is a quality of life issue. Edmonds’ residents are “doers.” The citizens involved in
the creation of these plan recommendations expressed a strong desire to see an expansion of the
range of cultural experiences and classes available to residents of the City.
Community Cultural Plan - 1 -
Packet Page 342 of 466
The update process included two public meetings, three additional meetings of a 20-member
Cultural Plan Advisory Committee, and two public hearings. The Committee evaluated the
previous plans, achievements of the past 13 years, input from the public meetings, and
rearticulated the original five goals that support a vision for the future. These five goals along
with detailed implementation strategies form the recommendations of the updated 2008
Community Cultural Plan:
1. Build Edmonds’ identity as a cultural destination: implementation strategies focus on
overarching marketing strategies and identity-building projects.
2. Encourage effective partnerships between organizations and leaders in arts and
heritage, business, education, tourism, recreation, and local government that support
cultural opportunities and experiences for residents and visitors and increase
awareness of cultural assets: implementation strategies focus on the City’s leadership role
for commitments that support a common cultural vision.
3. Develop facilities for visual arts and enhance facilities for the performing arts:
implementation strategies focus on spaces for culture.
4. Increase the visibility and accessibility of information about cultural events and
venues to visitors and Edmonds residents: implementation strategies focus on fostering
more awareness and easy access to information.
5. Broaden community involvement and participation in a diverse range of cultural
activities: implementation strategies focus on activities and people.
Although there are many recommendation strategies that support the five goals, the following
represent the most significant actions the City should take to guide its investment in the cultural
community between 2008 and 2017:
X Coordinate effective marketing strategies to promote the City’s cultural offerings, and
increase awareness and visibility of cultural resources;
X Support the 4th Avenue Cultural Corridor as a City priority for shaping downtown
connectivity and cultural vibrancy and move forward with first phase implementation;
X Undertake an analysis of existing and proposed cultural facilities with an emphasis on
better shared uses of existing facilities, expanded and improved facilities, and
opportunities to provide more diversified activities for the visual arts, teens and seniors;
X Commit City resources and encourage private commitment to the acquisition and
development of small, shared public spaces with art amenities or public art
enhancements;
X Ensure that the cultural community is represented and considered in all City planning
activities, economic development initiatives and capital investments to ensure an arts-
friendly community focus.

Edmonds Crystals: Linear Progression by Valdis Zarins, 1991
Introduction
The City of Edmonds demonstrated its commitment to promoting a vibrant cultural life for its
residents and visitors by adopting a comprehensive, articulate and thoughtful Community
Cultural Plan in 1994. The plan was updated in 2001, with an opportunity to assess
accomplishments and test the forward-thinking recommendations contained in the original
document. The Community Cultural Plan was again updated in 2008 to re-engage citizens and
leaders and articulate a cultural direction for the next ten years. The update process included two
public meetings, participation in the Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Comprehensive Plan
(PROC) update, and work with an advisory committee representing local arts organizations,
artists, and other individuals and agencies involved with arts, culture and heritage in the
Edmonds community. In addition, two public hearings were held. The Community Cultural
Plan is an element of the City Comprehensive Plan; aspects of cultural planning are also included
in both the Parks Plan and the Streetscape Plan.
The 2008 Cultural Plan update focuses on two big picture objectives that can be broadly
categorized as “Destination” and “Participation.” These overarching objectives emerged from
discussions with the 2008 Cultural Plan Advisory Committee. The committee summarized
central objectives related to culture that benefit residents and will attract visitors: enhance
Edmonds’ profile as a tourist and visitor destination, contribute to the City’s economic vitality,
increase participation in the arts through access to a wider variety of cultural offerings, and
employ marketing and outreach strategies to promote those events, venues, classes and
performances.
Building on the 1994 and 2001 Cultural Plans, the latest update puts significant focus on
“Edmonds as a cultural destination.” The community and the City of Edmonds, working with a
strong network of cultural partners, have accomplished a great deal to create this reality since the
completion of the 1994 plan. The Edmonds Arts Festival, which first put Edmonds on the
cultural map, celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2007. Several other community arts organizations
Community Cultural Plan - 3 -
Packet Page 344 of 466
will also celebrate 25 – 50 year milestones (Driftwood Players, Cascade Symphony, Gallery
North, Sculptor’s Workshop and Olympic Ballet). Edmonds has evolved exponentially over the
past 13 years of its cultural development history. The Summer Market has grown and flourished.
Third Thursday Artwalks are a popular event and the number of galleries has increased.
ArtWorks was established as a gathering place for visual arts, Artists Connect produces multiple
events, the annual Art Studio Tour was developed, and Edmonds Community College created
the ArtsNow program in Edmonds. The City has integrated public art in major pedestrian
connections in the downtown/waterfront area, created a Streetscape Plan that emphasizes the
aesthetics of the public realm, and increased staffing in its Cultural Services Division. The
Edmonds PFD was created by Council and purchased and renovated the Edmonds Center for
the Arts. The Council also formed a Historic Preservation Commission to broaden support for
culture to include heritage and historic preservation. Further details on the community’s
accomplishments are listed in Appendix A.
This growth has created a whole new set of opportunities and challenges for the next ten-year
cycle of cultural development. Edmonds in 2008 (population 40,460) is a mature, multifaceted
cultural community with numerous visible successes that must be sustained, but with some
exciting new opportunities that are addressed in this update.
All communities face challenges to growth and change. As the next ten-year cultural plan
unfolds, strong City leadership is needed to overcome challenges and ensure a thriving cultural
community. Here are some of the concerns voiced by citizens:
X Insufficient funding and staffing for cultural services provided by the City;
X Continuing need for more effective communication that ensures opportunity for early
and successful incorporation of arts and culture into civic planning;
X Escalating real estate prices affecting spaces for artists’ live/work, artist studio rentals,
small arts businesses and arts organizations;
X Potential loss of public space in the downtown core as development continues, and a
lack of political will to impose standards that support arts-friendly private developments;
X Need for an economic development leadership and committed marketing plan for
culture as part of marketing the city as a whole;
X Importance of ensuring economic support of the Edmonds Center for the Arts.
The Destination and Participation construct is a useful conceptual framework to articulate the
extraordinary commitment to culture as a core part of the City’s identity and activity. Beginning
with the community vision stated in the 1994 Cultural Plan that the “natural beauty of Edmonds
creates a stunning backdrop and gathering place where the collaborative efforts of the arts, business,
and people are woven together to create vibrant community,” Edmonds has demonstrated that
culture matters. It matters to its citizens as a form of community-building, recreation,
continuing education and place-making and it matters to its business community as an economic
engine. “Edmonds is an arts town,” is a statement as likely to come from a business leader as an
Arts Commissioner.
Community Cultural Plan - 4 -
Packet Page 345 of 466
Destination and Participation aren’t two
separate boxes; they are overlapping circles,
focusing initiatives externally and internally.
The arts programs and cultural opportunities
that serve Edmonds’ residents are also
attractive to visitors. For example, a vibrant
4th Avenue Cultural Corridor that connects
the downtown with the Edmonds Center for
the Arts (ECA) will provide Edmonds
residents with a place to enjoy activities as
simple as sitting in an outdoor café, perhaps
listening to a chamber trio, and strolling past
visual art along the corridor before an
evening performance at the ECA. This
activity is no less appealing to visitors.
Finally, Destination and Participation also have special significance as part of this second update
to the original plan. The 2007-8 process has afforded the opportunity and the responsibility to
look back at the participation, to analyze what worked. What hasn’t been done, but still has
broad support from citizens? What was started that now needs on-going stewardship? While
looking back at past participation, the Cultural Plan Advisory Committee also charted a course
for a new destination, imagining what Edmonds’ cultural community looks like in 2017.
As Edmonds begins to envision the next phase of cultural development, the city cannot take for
granted or neglect those long-time or recently developed initiatives that already work. The
Edmonds Arts Festival and Foundation (EAF, EAFF); the annual seasons produced by the
Driftwood Players, Cascade Symphony, Olympic Ballet Theatre, and Edmonds Center for the
Arts (ECA); the Write on the Sound Writers’ Conference; Third Thursday Art Walks; Art
Studio Tours; the Summer Market; Jazz Connection, Concerts in the Park, and the City Public
Art Collection are city and regional assets that require on-going sustenance.

Plan Recommendations
Goals, Objectives and Implementation Strategies
During the community conversations to form these recommendations, the five goals from the
1994-2001 plans were examined and prioritized. This plan presents some revisions to the
previous five goals and reiterates some recommendations found in the earlier plans. This plan
adds a greater emphasis on Edmonds as a cultural destination, reformulating the goal to Promote
the Arts as Partners in Economic Development to become Build Edmonds’ Identity as a Cultural
Destination. The economic value of culture is still at the heart of this plan’s recommendations,
interwoven into all five goals rather than offered as a stand-alone strategy. It is inevitable that
goals and strategies overlap, a direct result of the emphasis on broad based support through
effective partnerships and the recognition that cultural life is an intrinsic part of all aspects of
civic life: social, economic, aesthetic, and educational. The 4th Avenue Cultural Corridor for
example could easily be articulated as a significant step towards achieving all five goals.
The update planning process stressed setting clear priorities rather than a long list of wishes.
Edmonds has demonstrated a track record of thoughtful and regular planning assessments. This
is an important distinction for the City and encourages looking at a community-wide cultural
work plan that can reasonably be accomplished in the 10-year planning window and which
represents the most important big picture investments of time and resources to further the City’s
cultural community and identity. This Community Cultural Plan update is also intended to
work in concert with the City’s Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan and Streetscape Plan,
and annual planning initiatives such as the Edmond Arts Commission Strategic Plan and the
City’s Capital Improvements Projects planning cycle.

1. Build Edmonds’ identity as a cultural destination.
Overarching marketing strategies and identity-building projects
When the 1994 Community Cultural Plan was adopted, the notion of Edmonds as a
cultural destination was articulated as “repositioning the arts from back stage to center
stage.” The City and its committed cultural partners and volunteers have been extremely
successful in building Edmonds’ identity as a cultural destination. Internally and externally
Edmonds is perceived as a burgeoning cultural center. Better transportation connections and
real estate development near the waterfront will only continue to increase the attraction of
Edmonds to visitors.
Developing an effective marketing strategy focused on the arts is still a top priority for
citizens. A logical work plan for the City’s Economic Development Department, all
marketing efforts should consider the dual audiences of Edmonds residents and visitors from
the surrounding area and beyond. The Port of Edmonds recently initiated a successful
program marketing Edmonds as a destination for recreational boaters and the arts are part of
what they promote.
Edmonds recognizes that it has special attributes that distinguish it from neighboring
communities and especially the City of Seattle. This niche positioning is evident in the
strategic growth and marketing plans for Port and City development. This same strategy will
serve the cultural community. Many examples of potential new attractions were offered by
the Advisory Committee including “Night Out in Edmonds” with chamber music
performances and garage bands on the 4th Avenue Cultural Corridor; artist-designed lighting
fixtures or poles for hanging flower baskets; and a travel film festival capitalizing on the
success of Edmonds’ travel guru Rick Steves.
1.1. Encourage the Economic Development Department to establish a staff or contract
position to lead city-wide marketing efforts that include marketing the arts. (City of
Edmonds)
1.2. Develop an effective coordinated marketing strategy, regionally and statewide, to
promote Edmonds and its arts and culture as a destination to regional visitors and
adjacent communities. (City of Edmonds, Chamber of Commerce, Edmonds Center for
the Arts, Edmonds Community College (EdCC), Port of Edmonds)
1.3. Prioritize development of or continuing support for unique cultural projects that
distinguish Edmonds as different from other regional cities:
1.3. a. Support the 4th Avenue Cultural Corridor and linear park component with a
commitment for design level planning, a funding plan, and phase one
implementation through the city’s capital budget. The project is also
referenced in the Parks Plan and the Streetscape Plan. It is a key economic
development project linking the historic Edmonds Center for the Arts and
Community Cultural Plan - 9 -
Packet Page 350 of 466
Main Street which will enhance pedestrian connections within the downtown,
highlight cultural assets including public art, historic buildings and
community history, and encourage mixed use development and adaptive
reuse. (City of Edmonds, Chamber of Commerce, Historic Museum)
1.3. b. Support the Port of Edmonds Art Policy guidelines to support artwork
inclusion in Port projects and in projects proposed by its tenants. A critical
area for Port-supported public art and public space with art enhancements is
the Harbor Square development. (Port of Edmonds, private developers)
1.3. c. Expand support and advocacy for unique cultural events that attract regional
and out of state visitors like the Edmonds Arts Festival, and the Writers’
Conference. (City of Edmonds, Chamber of Commerce, Edmonds Center for the
Arts, Edmonds Community College, Port of Edmonds, Snohomish County
Lodging Tax)
Resources: Additional staff or contract position in the Economic Development Office along
with budget for a marketing plan and implementation. Art Policy adopted by the Port of
Edmonds will encourage more investment in public art in key areas of waterfront
development as well as stimulate public/private sector partnerships to commission public art.
Continue to seek County Lodging tax revenues earmarked for marketing of events that
contribute to county tourism and could be directed towards promoting Edmonds cultural
events and festivals. City commitment to begin initial development of the 4th Avenue
Cultural Corridor and include review of zoning and land-use designations and the possibility
of land purchases.

2. Encourage effective partnerships between organizations and leaders in arts and
heritage, business, education, tourism, and local government that support cultural
opportunities and experiences and increase awareness of cultural assets.
City’s leadership role for commitments that support a common cultural vision
Edmonds cultural community’s successes rely on a coalition of public and private partners.
This strategy has been extraordinarily successful; however, there are concerns expressed by
citizens that an emphasis on “partnership” can lead to a leadership vacuum. Still, it is clear
that many of the biggest and best cultural initiatives are, by their very sweeping nature,
dependent on effective partnerships.
A commitment by the major partnership players is critical to further Edmonds cultural
growth. These partners include: the City; the business, non-profit, and development
community; Port of Edmonds; Edmonds Public Facility District; Edmonds School District
and Edmonds Community College. Each of these partners has an important role to play as a
leader on various cultural initiatives. The central leadership role as facilitators of this Cultural
Plan is the City and its Arts Commission.
Community building is also promoted by the physical spaces and places provided for citizens
as well as the programming alternatives. Edmonds has a small town feel, and its downtown
core serves well as a beautiful gathering space for community that supports a wide range of
activities. Preserving that essential character in the face of future growth and change will rely
on a zoning plan and guidelines for development that ensure that Edmonds remains a
pedestrian-friendly culture-oriented community.
This plan endorses one of the most significant initiatives for the next ten-year
implementation cycle, the realization of the 4th Avenue Cultural Corridor. Of all the
Community Cultural Plan - 11 -
Packet Page 352 of 466
potential cultural enhancements to Edmonds’ downtown, the development of 4th Avenue is
key; it will stimulate mixed-use development opportunities and ensure connectivity from the
downtown to ECA. The 4th Avenue Cultural Corridor will set the stage for Edmonds’
residents and visitors to gather and enjoy the many cultural activities Edmonds has to offer.
The development of 4th Avenue as well as other recommendations found in this section
requires a comprehensive analysis of the use of real estate to best accommodate the needs of
Edmonds’ performing and visual arts community.
2.1. Encourage the City of Edmonds Economic Development Department to work with
the Cultural Services division to establish a “Cultural Committee” of representatives
from the major partnering entities. Begin a regular quarterly meeting schedule to
identify common initiatives and assign leadership roles. The first meeting of the
committee should include a thorough briefing on the 2008 Updated Community
Cultural Plan recommendations as a basis for establishing a common work plan for all
partners. (City of Edmonds Economic Development Department,, Planning Division,
Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department, Cultural Services Manager, and
EAC; Port of Edmonds; Edmonds Community College, pARTners and ArtsNow; Edmonds
School District, Chamber of Commerce, ECA/Public Facilities District; Edmonds Arts
Festival Foundation, Edmonds Historical Museum)
2.2. Continue to work closely with the Port of Edmonds, Harbor Square and Antique Mall
Redevelopment Program, and Sound Transit to adopt plans that support cultural uses
such as galleries, cultural attractions, an arts festival marketplace, and that incorporate
visual art. (Port of Edmonds, City of Edmonds, Edmonds Arts Festival and Foundation,
Chamber of Commerce, Sound Transit)
2.3. Support the creation of pocket parks and public amenities with art elements in new
and existing developments and the preservation (and renovation) of small multi-use
gathering spaces throughout the downtown core and other key locations in the
community. See the City of Edmonds Streetscape Plan and Parks Plan. (City of
Edmonds, Chamber of Commerce, Stevens Hospital)
2.4. Encourage the City to review/develop zoning and permitting incentives that actively
encourage developments that sustain the vision for a people-friendly, culture-oriented
downtown, which includes public art and public space, and adds to a rich network of
cultural resources. (City of Edmonds, City of Edmonds Planning Board, Chamber of
Commerce)
2.5. Foster partnerships and cooperative programming between Edmonds Community
College, ECA, EAFF, Edmonds Library, South County Senior Center, and Edmonds
School District to promote classes and activities aimed at building new audiences for
culture. (Edmonds Community College, ECA/Public Facilities District, Edmonds Arts
Festival Foundation, Edmonds Sno-Isle Library, Edmonds School District, City of
Edmonds, South County Senior Center)
Community Cultural Plan - 12 -
Packet Page 353 of 466
Resources: City commitment for ongoing review of zoning and land-use designations and
possible land purchases. The other recommendations in this section rely more on an effective
and persistent vehicle for convening a broad cross section of civic leaders and encouraging a
collaborative vision.
3. Develop facilities for visual arts and enhance facilities for the performing arts.
Spaces for culture
A major goal of the original 1994 Edmonds cultural plan, reiterated and expanded in 2001,
was the development of a premier performing arts facility and it is important to ensure that
the Edmonds Center for the Arts (ECA) succeeds and that sound funding strategies are
developed. Renovation for the first phase of the ECA was completed in 2006. Future
enhancements such as improved event parking and back-of-house support areas (green room,
dressing rooms, storage, set assembly and load-in) will expand the functionality of the center
and ensure its long-term success. Additionally, the “Music Building” on the ECA property is
currently underutilized, and could be renovated for more consolidated cultural activities.
Although clearly focused on the performing arts with the first phase renovation, the ECA is
designated as a center for the arts, and that could include additional facility programming for
visual arts, and teen and senior arts programming. Possibilities should be explored for
providing space suitable for small theater or dance performances and visual art.
The visual arts play an important role in the cultural life of Edmonds, and the space needs of
visual and other arts organizations and artists remain a point of concern and debate.
Sculptor’s Workshop, Olympic Ballet dance school and company, and the Edmonds Arts
Festival Foundation gallery are located in the Frances Anderson Center, which is currently
operating at full capacity. ArtWorks is housed in the former Public Works Building, a facility
it shares with Driftwood Players’ rehearsal annex. The City should work with partners to
analyze the space needs of these various arts programs as well as the continuing request from
citizens for additional gallery, exhibition and museum space to determine how their
combined requirements can best be served.
Community Cultural Plan - 13 -
Packet Page 354 of 466
As the use of existing real estate for performing and visual arts is reviewed, the City should
consider developing space which could include use for teens to rehearse new music, produce
film and video and spoken word programs. There are currently few opportunities for teens to
become active participants in and contributors to Edmonds’ cultural profile. Seniors have
also been cited as underserved by existing spaces and it may be more realistic to co-locate
activities for a multi-generational, multi-faceted facility.
The City should also develop strategies and facilities that encourage sharing traditions of
various cultures. Edmonds ethnic population is growing and its needs for space for events,
performances, exhibits and gatherings should be a factor in cultural facility planning.
The affordability of real estate in Edmonds is an obstacle for artists. This is a critical
situation faced by many cities in King, Snohomish and Pierce counties. If artists cannot
afford homes and studios in this region, they will relocate to places with more support for
live/work space for themselves and their families. Rental properties, particularly studio
space, may be more critical support for emerging artists. Many established artists living in
Edmonds have purchased homes with working spaces.
3.1. Support completion of a study to determine the cost and sources of funding for the
ECA to improve parking and back-of-house support; consider also viable funding and
marketing strategies to support on-going operations. (ECA/Public Facilities District,
City of Edmonds, EdCC)
3.2. Fund an analysis for a multi-purpose visual arts facility which may co-locate space for
classes, studios, exhibitions, rehearsal space, teen and senior activities, as well as
increased exhibition/museum space of interest to the Edmonds Arts Festival
Foundation; include an analysis of activities currently supported in the Frances
Anderson Center and at ArtWorks. (City of Edmonds, Edmonds Arts Festival
Foundation, ArtWorks, ECA/Public Facilities District)
3.3. Invite ArtsSpace Projects to produce a workshop on culture-friendly mixed-use
development including artists live-work developments; use the forum for education
and conversation about successful developments in other cities that support a healthy
cultural community, particularly an analysis of how the 4th Avenue Cultural Corridor
can support artist live/work spaces and arts businesses; include an analysis of rental
spaces specifically targeting both emerging and mature artists as part of the workshop.
(City of Edmonds, City of Everett, Snohomish County, Edmonds Chamber of Commerce,
ECA/Public Facilities District, ArtsSpace Projects, 4Culture)
3.4. Support City funding plan and schedule for the necessary building maintenance at
City owned facilities that house cultural functions: Wade James Theatre, Edmonds
Museum, South County Senior Center, Frances Anderson Center and Old Public
Works Building. (City of Edmonds)
Community Cultural Plan - 14 -
Packet Page 355 of 466
3.5. Support use of public space such as the Rotary Pavilion at City Park, 4th Avenue,
Dayton Street Plaza and ECA grounds for temporary visual and performing arts
events. (City of Edmonds, ECA/Public Facilities District)
Resources: Initial resources for workshops and feasibility studies could be modest but would
require staff time. Significant funding may be needed based on the initial studies.
Cedar Dreams by Benson Shaw, 2000
4. Increase the visibility and accessibility of information about cultural events and venues
to visitors and Edmonds residents.
Awareness and access to information
The Advisory Committee voiced overwhelming support for increasing arts “visibility.”
Developing a network of coordinated communication tools, including the EAC website and
electronic kiosks located in the downtown core and at the public library, could significantly
increase accessibility of information to Edmonds residents and visitors alike.
In 1994, email was a novelty. Even in 2001, most arts organizations and municipal
governments were designing their first websites. Now, world-wide connectivity is increasing
every day, and most young people understand that any and all information is just a search
engine click away.
One theme that emerged throughout all conversations with community members is the need
to ensure that the cultural community is represented – at the table so to speak—when the
City is developing its long range development plans and investing in streetscape
improvements and capital projects. By leveraging all its resources and working
collaboratively, the arts visibility could increase if promoted, for example, through artistic
design elements incorporated within city-wide way-finding signage systems and streetscape
Community Cultural Plan - 15 -
Packet Page 356 of 466
investments. Connecting culture to broader city investments may not involve significantly
greater resources, just a better commitment to communication and awareness.
The “clustering” strategy laid out in the original 1994 Cultural Plan which promotes
adjacencies of cultural facilities, public art and other civic amenities like gathering places into
a focused area or district, particularly the downtown/waterfront, is still a good strategy for
stimulating collaboration, greater visibility and accessibility. (See the Streetscape Plan)
4.1 Install at least one electronic kiosk as a pilot project to provide instant access to
downtown activities and city-wide information on cultural events and facility
locations. Initiatives like this address one of the most frequently mentioned potential
improvements to cultural visibility: awareness. (City of Edmonds, Edmonds Community
College ArtsNow, Edmonds Chamber of Commerce, National Endowment for the Arts,
Edmonds Sno-Isle Public Library)
4.2. Improve the Edmonds Arts Commission website; explore ways to more actively
market venues and programs and provide information to regional calendar sites. Form
a work plan in collaboration with EdCC pARTners and Snohomish County Arts
Commission to identify issues regarding cost and how to manage on-going operations
and content generation. Develop a strategy for fund raising if necessary that may
include grants from the NEA and Snohomish County Lodging Tax fund. (City of
Edmonds, Edmonds Community College pARTners, National Endowment for the Arts,
Snohomish County Lodging Tax, Snohomish County Arts Commission)
4.3. On the expanded Edmonds Arts Commission website, create more access to
information about cultural venues for groups or individuals who want to offer more
programming or use local facilities for a one-time event. Use the “Space Finder”
approach, building on data already collected in the cultural facility inventory to make
information more available. Suggest the electronic Space Finder as a project for EdCC
classes. (City of Edmonds, Edmonds Community College ArtsNow, Edmonds Chamber of
Commerce, National Endowment for the Arts, Snohomish County Lodging Tax,
Snohomish County Arts Commission)
4.4. Use all available way-finding and informational signage, particularly on the waterfront
and in the downtown core to reinforce a greater awareness of cultural identity, venues
and activities, and establish the experience of Edmonds as a place that supports a
vibrant cultural life in concert with recommendations in the Streetscape Plan. (City of
Edmonds, Edmonds Arts Commission)
4.5. Cluster investments in public art to create a visible presence of art in the downtown
and waterfront and reinforce key gateways and corridors in the City, for example the
International District gateway on Highway 99. The most important areas of
concentration for public art investments include: artist-designed flower pole features to
replace existing poles, extension of sidewalk inlays that mark key downtown
connections, and investments in temporary and permanent public art along the 4th
Community Cultural Plan - 16 -
Packet Page 357 of 466
Avenue Cultural Corridor. (City of Edmonds, City of Edmonds Arts Commission, City of
Edmonds Planning Board)
4.6. Add small-scale public amenity artworks to the City Gift Catalogue to encourage
citizens to underwrite through individual donations, the creation of artist-made
streetscape furnishings, for example, flower basket poles. (City of Edmonds, Edmonds
Arts Commission)
Resources: Adding information to Edmonds Arts Commission’s website and having an
active public relations effort announcing programs and events may not be expensive, but it
will involve a commitment of staff time to serve as an information clearing house and to
develop web-based content. It may be possible for some of these functions to be
implemented by regional websites. Installing information kiosks in the downtown core,
however, will require investment, but not necessarily from the City. The National
Endowment for the Arts (NEA) has an active funding program for initiatives that are
intended to help expand audiences for the arts. Electronic websites will require updates and
content creation and Edmonds Community College may be willing to use its courses to
support this on-going activity. EAC has successfully installed excellent public art on the
waterfront, demonstrating that arts can be used to enhance the public’s enjoyment of civic
spaces; using art as a way-finding mechanism is a natural next step, requiring only a
continuing commitment to “clustering” public art and mindfulness about collaborations
with other City signage programs. To ensure the collaboration, the Cultural Services
Division/Edmonds Arts Commission, must be at the table in all City planning initiatives. It
is important that Cultural Services updates continue to be part of the quarterly reports at
Planning Board. The City’s 1% for art revenue for public art and art maintenance could be
augmented through a program modeled on the City Gift Catalogue where citizens are given
an opportunity to fund items such as benches and trees. Broadening this program to include
artist-designed flower poles for example, along with other discrete artist-made streetscape
elements, would add a possible additional source of funding. Additional avenues should be
considered to augment the funding available for public art, such as a per capita annual
allocation or increase of the 1% to 1.5%.

5. Broaden community involvement and participation in a diverse range of cultural
activities.
Activities and people
When asked to envision Edmonds ten years into the future, several Advisory Committee
members pictured, “a vibrant street life is supported with a nightlife component that
includes galleries, restaurants and live performances, encouraging people to be out in the
public realm. ’Street Nights’ open up the downtown for gathering and draw visitors from
outside of the city.” Those ideas and many others expressed during the course of developing
this plan update, illustrate that citizens clearly link quality of life and vibrancy of the City to
cultural events and activities. Culture stimulates places of beauty, meaning, interest and
connection.
It is also clear that public gathering spaces are an important part of shared public and
cultural life. Citizens voiced strong support for more outdoor, multi-use spaces for formal
and informal gatherings and simple participatory activities that add texture and fun to the
City’s cultural life such as drumming for all ages. These types of small spaces could also be
activated as rehearsal spaces for amateur and professional performing arts groups, providing
no-cost performances and a better understanding of the hard work and hours of practice
involved in any artistic achievement. Activities are the focus of this section, but these
activities are linked to recommendations stated in Goals 1, 2 and 3.
Small gathering nodes build a sense of community pride. Significant, multi-purpose cultural
facilities like the Frances Anderson Center and the new Edmonds Center for the Arts also
foster community connections. While art classes offered through Parks & Recreation,
ArtsNow, ArtWorks and galleries provide a core of activities, this section focuses on a
broader range of activities in which the ECA could play a pivotal future role. The ECA’s
capacity for hosting a wide range of activities makes it a vital hub that can draw various
segments of Edmonds’ population together. For example, under-utilized spaces such as the
Community Cultural Plan - 18 -
Packet Page 359 of 466
gymnasium and Music Building could support ballroom dancing for seniors as well as a
Battle of the Bands for teens or small theater events. Creating activities at the ECA that
activate all the spaces, underscore the role of the ECA as a cornerstone of the City’s cultural
infrastructure, and instill a sense of community pride in the ECA’s creation and on-going
stewardship.
Cultural activities for youth play an important role in the vibrancy of a city and the social life
of its teenage citizens. Many suggestions were made for additional programming aimed at
teens such as YouTube Shorts Festival or Japanese anime films and exhibitions. Although
these suggestions sound fun, they did not come from teenage participants in the cultural
planning process. One of the best ways to build new audiences is to provide the resources
and empowerment for ideas to come out of new communities.
Activities that celebrate the multi-cultural growth of Edmonds are important for building
inclusiveness and greater understanding and participation. The City should create
opportunities to invite participation by ethnic communities in the broader cultural
community of Edmonds.
5.1. Strengthen community-based support for the continuing success of the ECA through
intergenerational events. Use celebratory events and outreach to the entire community
to instill a greater understanding of the importance of the ECA and its future success
as a matter of community pride. (ECA/Public Facilities District, City of Edmonds,
Chamber of Commerce, Edmonds School District, Edmonds Arts Festival Foundation)
5.2. Encourage pilot projects for film enthusiasts to help build new audiences: for example,
a Youth Film Festival produced by teens or a Travel Film Festival, utilizing the talents
and prestige of Edmonds’ travel businesses. (Edmonds-Woodway High School, Edmonds
Community College ArtsNow, businesses, Edmonds Center for the Arts, City of Edmonds,
Edmonds Chamber of Commerce, National Endowment for the Arts)
5.3. Sponsor a street-festival or other event of temporary artworks and performances along
the 4th Avenue Cultural Corridor to stimulate awareness of the project and to illustrate
its potential. (City of Edmonds, Edmonds-Woodway High School, Edmonds Community
College ArtsNow, Edmonds Chamber of Commerce, Driftwood Players, Cascade
Symphony, Olympic Ballet Theatre, ArtWorks, Edmonds Arts Festival Foundation, and
ECA/Public Facilities District)
5.4. Engage the Asian community to propose a city-wide celebratory event to highlight an
important aspect of Asian culture. Consider connections with the Highway 99
International District Enhancements Project where art elements are being used to
create a gateway component. Use this initial event to promote awareness of Asian
cultural traditions, begin to identify leaders in the Asian community to facilitate
involvement in planning initiatives and to foster an integration of many cultures into
the cultural community of Edmonds. (City of Edmonds, Sister City Commission,
Chamber of Commerce)

APPENDIX A
Introduction and Historical Context of Edmonds Cultural Planning
The 2008 Cultural Plan Update builds upon the recommendations of the two previous
cultural plans of 1994 and 2001.
The Planning Process
Like the previous 2001 plan update, the 2008 update to the Community Cultural Plan was
coordinated with the Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Comprehensive Plan (PROC) update
process. A 20-member Advisory Committee was formed comprising representatives from the
community involved in all aspects of cultural organizations and events, with special emphasis
placed on getting generative artists, arts business owners, and visual, performing and literary arts
representatives to the table. The Advisory Committee participated in three committee meetings
and attended public meetings. Cultural Plan recommendations were also collected during two
general public meetings. There were also several citizens active in the City’s cultural community
serving on the PROC Advisory Committee.
Cedar Dreams by Benson Shaw, 2000
Looking Back: Accomplishments 2001-2008
Edmonds’ cultural community has grown exponentially since the first Community Cultural Plan
was adopted in 1994, with significant accomplishments in the past seven years since the 2001
update was adopted. The 2001 updates focused on linking cultural initiatives to major
developments along the waterfront and in the downtown core. The first phase of those
improvements, the Waterfront Walkway is completed (with the exception of one small section),
linking waterfront parks and the marina and incorporating an impressive display of integrated
and signature public artworks. Sound Transit is working on plans to upgrade the Amtrak
platforms at the Edmonds Station to provide additional commuter rail services, contributing to
the civic art collection as well as new transportation options as part of this facility construction.
Edmonds Community College (EdCC) has rapidly expanded activities in their Edmonds
Conference Center facility in the downtown core (the former Floral Arts Center) including the
office for ArtsNow, a Workforce Development program with non-credit courses nurturing the
Community Cultural Plan - 21 -
Packet Page 362 of 466
arts from creation to commerce. EdCC established an Arts and Civic Engagement initiative on
campus and a companion initiative in the south Snohomish community called pARTners – a
consortium of municipalities, Edmonds School District, Sno-Isle Libraries and arts organizations.
EdCC hired a full-time drama instructor in 2004 and constructed a black box theater in 2007.
The Edmonds School District was named one of the top 100 communities in the country for
music education in 2007.
Two cultural facilities were established to support the visual and performing arts during this time
period. The Edmonds Public Facilities District was established by City Council in 2001 and
purchased the old Edmonds High School in downtown Edmonds. A major renovation to create
the Edmonds Center for the Arts, an outstanding performing arts venue, was completed in late
2006. ArtWorks, a joint project of the Edmonds Arts Festival Association and the Edmonds Arts
Festival Foundation, offers classes, classroom and exhibit space, and a gathering place for visual
artists. ArtWorks is housed in a renovated public works building which the City also leases to
Driftwood Players for their Rehearsal Annex. In addition, the Edmonds Daybreakers Rotary
donated funding and services to help construct a new pavilion at City Park in 2006 which is used
for the Summer Concerts in the Park.
In 2005 the City restructured its Cultural Services Division (a component of the Parks,
Recreation and Cultural Services Department), establishing a full-time Cultural Services
Manager position and expanding a part-time position to the full-time Cultural Services Assistant
position, to staff Edmonds Arts Commission projects such as the successful Writers’ Conference.
The City Council formed a Historic Preservation Commission in 2001, broadening its support
for culture to include arts, heritage and historic preservation. In 2006 the City adopted a revised
Streetscape Plan which includes the 4th Avenue Cultural Corridor concept, the Highway 99
International District gateway concept, and an emphasis on creating a more pedestrian friendly
and aesthetic public realm through incorporating art elements and improving way-finding
signage.
The Summer Market, which the Historical Museum started in 1995, has grown and extended its
season, attracting thousands of visitors and residents for a unique community experience that
brings together fresh food, crafts and arts. The monthly Third Thursday ArtWalk has also grown
dramatically since the initial 1998 annual community event. The ArtWalk is sponsored by
downtown merchants and the Edmonds Chamber of Commerce and includes about 30
participating businesses.
Looking Back: Threads of Continuity 1994-2008
Over the past 14 years, various themes and interests have carried forward in the Community
Cultural Plan and continue to be endorsed by citizens:
X Marketing plan and greater effort to promote Edmonds as a cultural destination with
arts as an integral part of the City identity;
X Effective shared outreach, promotions and marketing for events and venues with linked
website information;
Community Cultural Plan - 22 -

X Continuation of the waterfront shoreline development includes public art and gathering
nodes with support for the Port of Edmonds policy to include art in its developments;
X City limits and connectivity of key corridors are emphasized through public art;
X Visual arts facility or art museum development;
X Affordable artist studio spaces and economic opportunities for artists within the City;
X Developing city-wide strategies and partnerships for better use of cultural facilities and
information sharing;
X Fostering strong partnerships and collaborations that result in effective leadership on
cultural initiatives, diverse programming and a variety of cultural facilities;
X Expanding teen/youth activities and programs;
X Committed City policy to incorporate art and aesthetics as standards within civic
planning initiatives and capital projects;
X Encouraging private support for art (1% in commercial developments);
X Developing a cultural corridor.

APPENDIX B
Cultural Organizations and Facilities – 2007
The City of Edmonds has fostered the arts from the early 1900’s beginning with the building of
the Library in 1909 and the Princess Theatre in 1929. Community interest in the arts and
volunteerism was a major contributing factor in the development of the Driftwood Players and
the Edmonds Arts Festival, both established in 1957. The original Cascade Symphony was
founded in 1962. Wade James Theatre was built in 1966, the Historical Society organized in
1972, the Historical Museum opened in 1973, and the Olympic Ballet established in 1981. The
cultural interests of the individuals who make up the community, both as artists and as patrons,
are driving forces in the development of the rich cultural fabric of this area.
The Edmonds Arts Commission was established by the City in 1975 “to promote the arts as an
integral part of community life”. The same year, the City Council passed an ordinance
establishing one percent of City capital construction budgets to be allocated for public art. In
establishing the Commission, the City acknowledged the importance of the arts and their

4. PUBLIC HEARING ON THE 2008-2014 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.
Assistant City Engineer Don Fiene presented the 2008-2014 Capital Improvement Program (CIP),
explaining the CIP was a long range planning tool, a spending blueprint that outlined capital
improvements given available resources. Most of the capital improvements in each fund were derived
from the Comprehensive Plan. He noted the Comprehensive Plan process includes input from staff, the
public and consultants as well as a scientific analysis and prioritization of projects. Projects include
physical improvements or replacement of City-owned infrastructure, development of new facilities and is
an ongoing process as needs, public support and priorities change.
Mr. Fiene advised the CIP was updated annually as required by GMA via input from six City
departments: Public Works, Community Services, Engineering, Administrative Services, Wastewater
Treatment, and Parks & Recreation. He provided a summary list of the funds, advising the spreadsheets
contained a detailed list of projects, revenues and cash balances, transfers in, grants, and balance for each
fund. Project descriptions for each project would soon be available on the City’s website that identified
the name of the project, the estimated cost, description, benefit/rationale, schedule, and cost. He
displayed and reviewed a sample project description for the Interurban Trail.
Fund 112 (Transportation) and Fund 125 (REET-2 Transportation)
Mr. Fiene explained these funds finance a wide variety of transportation projects including street
overlays, road improvements/widening, traffic signals, road stabilization, traffic calming, bikeways and
walkways. He reviewed sample projects including citywide overlays and a future walkway project.
Funding for transportation capital has improved from two years ago due to the Council’s allocation of
REET-2 funds over $750,000 for transportation beginning in 2006. However, there was a loss of $75,000
in Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax in 2006, $150,000 in 2007 and $150,000 in 2008 to operating funds. He noted
if the Olympic View franchise fees were allocated to the General Fund rather than transportation capital,
those funds could assist with overlaying Olympic View Area streets. New legislation allowing
Transportation Benefit Districts could bring in additional transportation funds.
Fund 113 (Multimodal Transportation)
Mr. Fiene explained this funds the Edmonds Crossing multimodal transportation project that would link
ferry, bus, pedestrian, bicycle, ridesharing and trains at the Pt. Edwards site.
Fund 116 (Building Maintenance)
Mr. Fiene explained the sole purpose of this fund was to maintain buildings owned by the City. Sample
projects include the senior center, City Hall, Frances Anderson Center and other City buildings. He
advised Fund 116 was entirely financed by the General Fund which had been impacted by I-747 and I-
695; therefore, grants are necessary for most projects. Funding was currently budgeted through 2008;
funding through 2010 and beyond was a concern as lack of funding could defer building maintenance.
Fund 125 (REET 2 Parks Improvement) and 132 (Park Construction-Grant Funding)
Mr. Fine advised these funded improvements of existing parks, development of new parks, beautification,
streetscape, library, trails, environmental protection/education, cultural arts improvements, pool
improvements, sports field improvements and waterfront improvements. Sample projects include Yost
Pool, 4th Avenue Cultural Corridor, an additional skate park and improvements to Marina Beach Park.
Fund 126 (Parks Acquisition)
This funds land acquisition as well as debt service on City Hall, library roof, and Marina Beach which
totals approximately $700,000 per year, approximately half the incoming funds. Sample projects include
waterfront property acquisition. Grants and outside funding are needed to assist with purchases.

Fund 129 (Special Projects - Economic Development
This fund was established to visually brand the area between 224th St. & 238th St. as the SR 99 Edmonds
International District. This would include installing decorative street lighting, installing way-finding
street signs, traffic safety improvements, enhance bus stops and construct streetscape/gateway elements.
Combined 412 Funds (Water, Storm and Sewer)
Mr. Fiene explained a rate study was conducted in 2005 and new study is planned for 2008. Minor
increases are expected over the next several years.
Fund 412-100 (Water)
Projects in this fund were identified in the approved 2002 Water Comprehensive Plan which will be
updated in 2008. The priorities are to improve fireflow, replace deteriorated pipes, replace 1% of City
pipes per year, and storage and control improvements. Sample projects include water line replacement/
improvements in the Perrinville area in association with the Olympic View Drive improvements.
Fund 412-200 (Storm)
Projects in this fund were identified in the 2003 Stormwater Comprehensive Plan; projects address
capacity problems, maintenance problems and environmental concerns. Sample storm projects include
the emergency North Stream project and the southwest Edmonds basin projects. He noted there were
virtually no drainage systems when the southwest Edmonds area annexed and approximately 3,000 feet of
drainage pipe /infiltration systems have been constructed in that area, primarily designed in-house and
constructed by Public Works crews. A large infiltration project is planned this year at the old Woodway
Elementary School site and a 1500 lineal foot storm project is under construction by Public Works crews.
Fund 412-300 (Sewer)
Projects were identified in the 2006 Comprehensive; priorities include maintenance issues, environmental
issues and capacity problems. He displayed examples of sewer projects including the
rehabilitation/replacement of Lift Stations 7 & 8 and the 7th Avenue North sewer main line project.
Fund 414 (Wastewater Treatment Plant)
This funds the replacement of worn machinery/equipment and controls in the wastewater treatment plant
including flow meters, outfall lines, and influent trunk lines. He displayed a sample project of the bar
screen replacement.
Mr. Fiene summarized the transportation capital funding was much improved. Fund 116 continues to rely
heavily on grants to meet project needs. The Public Works Director’s proposal to draw additional funds
from the General Fund in years 2010-2013 will assist if approved by the City Council. Other funds
appear to be meeting minimum needs.
Mr. Fiene relayed concerns raised at the Planning Board and staff’s response:
Transfer of $917,500 shown going into Fund 116 from Fund 126 was not reflected correctly on
Fund 126 spreadsheet. This has been corrected and will be reflected as an expenditure in the 126
Fund on the spreadsheet for the final CIP.
Check to see if REET transfer projections are too high. Staff checked the numbers from 2007
with the Finance Department and the estimates appear good.
With the RTID vote failure, are the projections for Fund 113 accurate? The Community Services
Director relayed that the projections are current and have been adjusted.
Request that Fund 116 problems be highlighted. Staff highlighted local funding problems and
necessity of grants and problems that would occur if maintenance is deferred.

Reflect grant funding secured for the Olympic View Drive & 76th Ave W. emergency project.
This has been reflected in the CIP.
The Planning Board expressed support for Transportation Benefit Districts.
Concern that there is no capital fund for the Edmonds fiber network project. The Administrative
Services Director is working on the CIP for this fund and the CIP will be amended to reflect the
fiber optic program later this year when relevant studies and details are completed.
Staff recommends and encourages comments and feedback from Council and the public at the public
hearing and recommends the Council direct the City Attorney to draft an ordinance adopting the updated
Capital Facilities Plan.
Mayor Haakenson relayed Councilmember Wilson’s question regarding the Senior Center Parking lot
improvements. Parks & Recreation Director Brian McIntosh advised the senior center parking lot was
funded via a combination of funding sources, half from Fund 125 and hopefully half from a CDBG grant.
Councilmember Orvis asked whether the revenue from the sale of land associated with the PRD on 80th
was reflected in the CIP. Mr. Fiene answered the revenue from land was not reflected in the CIP.
Councilmember Orvis observed the CIP could be adjusted when that revenue was realized.
Councilmember Orvis inquired about progress on the Interurban Trail. Mr. Fiene answered progress was
slow; a quiet title action was required for a portion of the property. Mr. McIntosh advised the April 15
Council agenda would include a resolution to allow the Parks & Recreation Department to apply for an
RCO (formerly IAC) grant for $450,000. Receipt of that grant would allow construction on the
Interurban Trail to begin September 1, 2009.
Councilmember Wambolt asked about funds for overlays. Mr. Fiene referred to the Overlay Citywide in
Fund 125 REET 2, advising there was $550,000 in 2008 and $400,000 in 2009. He noted the only
overlays in Fund 112 were utility fund overlays. Councilmember Wambolt commented funding may be
problematic if it relied on REET. Mr. Fiene answered in his discussions with the Finance Department this
week, REET revenues were currently looking good. Councilmember Wambolt pointed out his discussion
with Administrative Services Director Dan Clements indicated REET revenues were projected to be only
$800,000 in 2008. Mr. Fiene noted REET revenues for 2007 totaled $1.4 million, including fairly good
revenues for the last half of 2007. Councilmember Wambolt recommended staff confirm those
projections.
Councilmember Wambolt commented grants were being sought for a number of projects and assumed if
the grants were not obtained, the project would not proceed. Mr. Fiene agreed.
Councilmember Dawson requested the Council be provided an update on REET revenues, suggesting a
monthly update. Although the Edmonds market was stronger that some other areas, the market was down
countywide. Next, she commented although the presentation was informative, it would have been more
helpful to have had the project descriptions in the Council packet or available on the City’s website as it
was difficult for the Council or the public to comment on the CIP when the project descriptions were not
available for review. Mr. Fiene noted that information was provided in the Council packet in past years,
the goal this year was to have the CIP paperless. He anticipated the project descriptions would be
available on the website soon, once Information Services staff resolved a problem with linking.
Councilmember Dawson asked if there was a timing issue associated with approval of the CIP and if not,
she suggested delaying adoption of the CIP until the project descriptions were available on the website.
Mr. Fiene advised the adoption could be delayed.

Councilmember Wilson observed there was a public education component in Fund 125 and asked what
public education was financed via that fund. Mr. McIntosh answered there was nothing specifically
identified as education; many of the education programs were in the recreation program such as
environmental programs. He noted that most studies and planning included a public education
component. Councilmember Wilson referred to the LEED amendment presented to the Community
Services/Development Services Committee to create a zone that would allow a large water tank for the
new PCC store to be located closer to the street. He noted a public education component would inform
the public about the environmental benefit of the tank. He expressed concern that if no funds were
allocated for public education in Fund 125, none would be expended on public education. Mr. McIntosh
commented on the requirement for environmental education in the utility fund.
Councilmember Wilson suggested the Council deliberate on redevelopment of the senior center at that
location prior to allocating funds for improving the parking lot. Mayor Haakenson advised the funds
were in the CIP in 2009 and required Council approval to be expended. He suggested retaining the funds
in 2009, assuring the parking lot would not be improved if there were plans to redevelop the building.
Councilmember Wilson commented those funds could be reallocated. He referred to Fund 412 and
$20,000 allocated for a Lake Ballinger study in 2009, suggesting additional funds be allocated to that
study in view of the $200,000 in State funds and the request for $200,000 from the federal government.
Mr. Fiene commented on the need to do planning first for Lake Ballinger to determine what was needed
and the cost; the $20,000 was a placeholder and planning-level estimate. Councilmember Wilson
questioned why more was not allocated as a placeholder. Mr. Fiene answered $20,000 was currently
allocated for budget reasons.
Councilmember Wilson referred to Fund 412-100 and the process of repairing water pipes at a rate of 1%
per year. He asked whether that was adequate. Mr. Fiene answered 100 years was the accepted norm for
cast iron; steel lines had slightly less life but nearly all the steel lines had been replaced.
Councilmember Wambolt inquired about construction costs, specifically the estimated cost for the
Frances Anderson Center seismic upgrade of $1.9 million. He recalled the difficulty getting contractors
to bid on projects in the past and asked how the current downturn had affected the bidding climate.
Public Works Director Noel Miller commented the City was going out to bid on two lift stations and
would know more in a few weeks. He noted the Frances Anderson Center seismic upgrades were
underway. There was only one bid received for that project but it was a good bid and the project was
approximately half complete.
Council President Plunkett asked whether the public had access to all the materials the Council had in
their packet. Mr. Fiene advised the CIP was available via the City Council’s agenda on the website.
Councilmember Dawson clarified the project descriptions were not available to the Council or the public
and she preferred they be available for review prior to the Council’s adoption of the CIP.
Mayor Haakenson opened the public participation portion of the public hearing.
Al Rutledge, Edmonds, observed a Planning Board Member was present in the audience tonight and
suggested a Councilmember attend Planning Board meetings. He noted there was a lengthy presentation
and questions/answers at the Planning Board public hearing.
Lora Petso, Edmonds, urged the Council not to adopt the CIP, commenting the City was allowed to
amend the Comprehensive Plan once a year so that all amendments were considered together; the only
exception was the CIP in connection with the budget. She opined the CIP was not legal as it did not
implement the Comprehensive Plan with regard to playfields. She noted the CIP needed to include parks,
identify the location of proposed facilities and planned acquisitions which it did not. She noted the City’s
Packet Page 406 of 466

need for playfields, citing an unauthorized practice on a softball field near her home and the danger of an
adult softball team playing at Westgate Elementary fields. She referred to Fund 126, observing the
presentation indicated nearly $1 million would be moved to the Building Maintenance Fund. She
objected to this transfer absent any additional information. She referred to use of Fund 126 for debt
service and discrepancies in the projections for REET receipts in 2008. She noted Fund 126 also included
line items for unspecified expenditures other than playfield acquisition, questioning whether this
explanation was adequate. Ms. Petso requested a line item for fields at the Old Woodway Elementary
School and a line item for fields at the former Safeway property. She echoed Councilmember Dawson’s
concern that the project details were not yet available. She also questioned the location of the skate park
that was referred to during the CIP presentation.
Jim Young, Edmonds, Planning Board Member, recalled there had been several robust discussions by
the Planning Board regarding the CIP in the past few years and hoped there would be equally robust
discussions by the City Council. He complimented staff for developing the CIP. He made the following
observations as a result of the Planning Board’s review of the CIP: 1) he complimented the Council on
the corrective action and collaboration between Parks & Recreation and Public Works Departments to
fund overlays, noting the funding increased the overlay cycle from 60 years to 33 years, 2) he expressed
concern with continued reliance on grants, noting the Federal Highway Administration grant fund was
expected to begin showing a deficit in 2009, and 3) he expressed concern with the term, “deferred
maintenance,” noting maintenance would need to be deferred absent a change in how building
maintenance was funded. He urged the Council to discuss building maintenance and if funding could not
be identified, prioritize what maintenance would be deferred.
Hearing no further public comment, Mayor Haakenson closed the public participation portion of the
public hearing.
Councilmember Bernheim asked about the process for amending the CIP. Mr. Fiene answered the CIP
was a blueprint for budgeting; the budget actually allocated funds to projects. Councilmember Bernheim
asked how binding the CIP was on the budget and whether the Council had the ability to amend the CIP
to include other projects. Mr. Fiene answered funds were budgeted for projects contained in the CIP
other than emergency projects. Councilmember Bernheim asked whether the Council was precluded from
allocating funds to projects that were not contained in the CIP. Mr. Fiene answered no.
Council President Plunkett inquired about the impact of extending the opportunity for public comment.
Mr. Fiene answered that would be acceptable.
Councilmember Wilson suggested he and other Councilmembers submit their comments in writing.
Councilmember Dawson asked whether staff’s recommendation was to direct the City Attorney to
prepare an ordinance that would be adopted as part of the annual Comprehensive Plan update. Mr. Fiene
answered the CIP was listed in the Comprehensive Plan. The process of adopting the CIP via ordinance
at approximately this time each year had been done for several years. City Engineer Dave Gebert
explained the Six Year CIP was adopted at this time each year so that it was available when budget
preparation began this summer. He noted the annual Comprehensive Plan amendments incorporated the
amended CIP.
Councilmember Dawson suggested a work session prior to the CIP public hearing in the future to ensure
all the information was available.
Council President Plunkett requested staff respond to the questions raised tonight by the audience and the
Council at the continued public hearing.

Councilmember Wambolt echoed Councilmember Dawson’s request for an update on the REET,
suggesting that be provided prior to the continued public hearing. Mayor Haakenson suggested that
information be provided at the next Council Committee meetings.
Council President Plunkett advised the public hearing would be continued to the April 15 Council
meeting.
5. AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Al Rutledge, Edmonds, thanked the public for their generous donations to the Kiwanis March 14-16
Food Drive at Top Foods. He announced the Parks & Recreation Department Easter Egg Hunt on
Saturday, March 22, advising further information was available by contacting the Parks & Recreation
Department.
Dr. Cathy Washington, Edmonds, commented on the allocation of $25,000 for a pool feasibility study.
She recognized the importance of the development of walkways and bike paths, commenting the City
already had sidewalks, a boardwalk and bike routes designated throughout the City. Observing that a
significant number of voting citizens who were unable to walk or bike due to age, physical challenges or
because they did not want to walk/bike in the rain, she pointed out they could be served by an aquatic
center. She emphasized an aquatic center could serve all citizens, from womb to tomb. Dr. Washington
noted recent Fire Department dispatches indicated 20% of aid responses were to evaluate patients for falls
and referred to a recent newspaper article regarding fall prevention that recommended a regular exercise
program. She referred to her proposal for a cultural and recreational center, the Edmonds Aquatic and
Artist Center, which had tremendous economic and health benefits. She recalled pool feasibility studies
were conducted in 1995 and in 1999 and subsequent unsuccessful efforts to collaborate with Stevens
Hospital and the YMCA. She referred to hundreds of signatures the Citizen Action Committee had
gathered in favor of an aquatics center, questioning why the City was planning another feasibility study
when the voters supported an aquatic center. Dr. Washington encouraged the City to utilize the funds
allocated for a feasibility study to identify a site and begin developing architectural plans for an aquatic
and artist facility.
Lora Petso, Edmonds, encouraged the Council to investigate whether adopting the CIP at this stage was
an accurate process. She recalled if a project was not included in the CIP, it was impossible to obtain a
grant for the project. She envisioned park acquisition for playfield use was a virtually automatic grant if
it was included in the CIP. With regard to REET revenue, she noted Fund 126 anticipated revenue of
$1.4 million this year and only $1.1 million in subsequent years. She questioned whether the REET
revenue in Fund 126 matched Fund 125. She relayed a concern with the size of athletic fields cited in the
Park Plan for 6-14 years olds, noting the difference in size between 6 and 14 year olds. She urged the
Council to reject that type of planning and plan the number of fields that were needed.
Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, referred to Bob Gregg’s demonstration regarding the Skipper’s site, noting it
raised many questions such as his indication that he had rights to the Washington State Department of
Transportation (WSDOT) parking lot adjacent to the Skippers site. Mr. Hertrich relayed his conversation
with the WSDOT legal department who advised the only relationship WSDOT had with regard to parking
lots was with Diamond Parking. He suggested Mr. Gregg provide clarification. Next he referred to the
Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan, pointing out the minutes of November 28, 2006
and February 13, 2007 Planning Board meetings that contained comments about the Plan were not
included. He referred to circles on one of the maps that identified areas where parks were needed,
pointing out there was no circle on the waterfront. Next, he pointed out there was no pool location

Subject: Timing of Capital Improvements Plan Amendments for GMA Compliance
This is to follow up on a question raised by Lora Petso at the March 18, 2008, Council hearing on
the draft CIP. The assertion was that the City’s CIP could only be amended once a year (with
comprehensive plan adoption) or when the budget was adopted.
The actual language from the relevant RCW's is included on the following page (see 2(a)(iii) for
the key provision).
Technically, what the RCW says is that you can amend the Capital Facilities Plan (CFP – or CIP
in Edmonds’ terminology) more than once per year, either when the overall plan is amended each
year, or in conjunction with a budget adoption or amendment. Since Edmonds normally amends
its budget quarterly, this shouldn't be a concern so long as the CIP amendment is timed to
correspond with one of the budget amendments. I believe our habit has been to approve the CIP
in the Spring to best fit into our budget cycle…. So for example, in 2007, an ordinance amending
the city budget and another ordinance amending the CIP were both approved by the City Council
on the same meeting night (April 17, 2007).
In my opinion, this clearly meets GMA requirements. The City Attorney concurs.
MEMORANDUM
Packet Page 409 of 466
RCW 36.70A.130
Comprehensive plans -- Review procedures and schedules -- Amendments.
… …
(2)(a) Each county and city shall establish and broadly disseminate to the public
a public participation program consistent with RCW 36.70A.035 and 36.70A.140
that identifies procedures and schedules whereby updates, proposed amendments,
or revisions of the comprehensive plan are considered by the governing body of
the county or city no more frequently than once every year. "Updates" means to
review and revise, if needed, according to subsection (1) of this section, and the
time periods specified in subsection (4) of this section or in accordance with the
provisions of subsections (5) and (8) of this section. Amendments may be
considered more frequently than once per year under the following
circumstances:
(i) The initial adoption of a subarea plan that does not modify the
comprehensive plan policies and designations applicable to the subarea;
(ii) The adoption or amendment of a shoreline master program under the
procedures set forth in chapter 90.58 RCW;
(iii) The amendment of the capital facilities element of a comprehensive plan
that occurs concurrently with the adoption or amendment of a county or city
budget;
(iv) Until June 30, 2006, the designation of recreational lands under *RCW
36.70A.1701. A county amending its comprehensive plan pursuant to this
subsection (2)(a)(iv) may not do so more frequently than every eighteen
months; and
(v) The adoption of comprehensive plan amendments necessary to enact a
planned action under RCW 43.21C.031(2), provided that amendments are
considered in accordance with the public participation program established
by the county or city under this subsection (2)(a) and all persons who have
requested notice of a comprehensive plan update are given notice of the
amendments and an opportunity to comment.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in (a) of this subsection, all proposals shall be
considered by the governing body concurrently so the cumulative effect of the
various proposals can be ascertained. However, after appropriate public
participation a county or city may adopt amendments or revisions to its
comprehensive plan that conform with this chapter whenever an emergency
exists or to resolve an appeal of a comprehensive plan filed with a growth
management hearings board or with the court.

Interim Zoning Ordinance - Addressing Rainwater Collection Tanks
Edmonds City Council Meeting
Date:04/15/2008
Submitted By:Rob Chave
Submitted For:Rob Chave Time:20 Minutes
Department:Planning Type:Action
Review Committee:
Action:
Information
Subject Title
Public Hearing on Interim Zoning Ordinance No. 3682, amending the definition of street
setback in ECDC 21.90.140, and adopting a new Section ECDC 21.85.014, defining rainwater
collection tank.
Recommendation from Mayor and Staff
Hold the public hearing; no additional action is necessary.
Previous Council Action
The City Council approved Ordinance #3682, an interim ordinance permitting above-ground
rainwater collection tanks in commercial street setbacks, at the April 1, 2008, Council meeting.
This followed a recommendation for approval by the Council's Community Services/Development
Services Committee on March 11, 2008.
Narrative
This is a required public hearing following the City Council approval of Interim Zoning Ordinance
#3682. The interim zoning ordinance permitted above-ground rainwater storage tanks in
commercial street setbacks, and below-ground tanks in any setback. Interim zoning ordinances are
effective for a six-month period, enabling City review and study of the issues addressed in the
ordinance.
The Planning Board was briefed on the issue on April 9, 2008. The Board expressed a desire to
review this proposal along with other potential "green" code initiatives (e.g. initiatives related to
LID - Low Impact Development) during their retreat on May 28, 2008. One option being
considered is to permit this type of facility as a conditional use, which would provide greater
opportunity to condition approval and require removal of the tank when it was no longer in use.
The attachments are those reviewed by the Council when considering the original interim
ordinance. An additional item (Exhibit 6) is information from the State Department of Ecology
regarding their stance on state permitting issues.

Re: 0738 PCC Natural Market – Edmonds, code amendment proposal
Dear Rob:
We are writing to propose an amendment to the text of the Edmonds Community Development Code, in
accordance with section 20.80.020, regarding rainwater collection tanks in the street setback.
Proposed text amendment
We propose to append the following sentence to the definition of a Street Setback in section 21.90.140:
“Not included are rainwater collection tanks not exceeding the maximum height of the zone and
covering 10% or less of the street setback area. Rainwater collection tanks in a street setback are
permitted below-ground or above-ground in commercial zones and below-ground, but not above-
ground, in residential zones.”
We propose to add the following definition of a Rainwater Collection Tank in a new section 21.85.015:
“Rainwater collection tank means a water tank fully or partially above adjacent grade used for
storing rainwater collected from the roof of the buildings or structures on the same property. The
collected rainwater must be utilized in the building and its surrounding property, with any surplus
discharged to an approved stormwater system.”
Rationale
At the turn of the 21st century, the specter of global climate change became undeniable by the majority of
scientists and policy makers. Myriad responses to the impending crisis emerged, and in 2005 the City of
Edmonds’ mayor signed the U.S. Climate Protection Agreement (http://usmayors.org/climateprotection/
documents/mcpAgreement.pdf). Article C.7 of that Agreement commits the city to: “Practice and
promote sustainable building practices using the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED Program or a similar
system.”
Water Efficiency is one of the five major categories of the LEED program and constitutes a significant
portion of another major category, Sustainable Sites. Of the 69 possible credits for LEED-NC 2.2, 5
Packet Page 418 of 466
0738 PCC Natural Market – Edmonds page 2
Rob Chave
3 March 2008
credits (7%) concern reduction of water use in buildings and their surrounding sites. Most buildings
nationwide that have achieved the highest Platinum rating have installed rainwater collection and reuse
systems to provide water for toilets and urinals, mechanical cooling equipment, and irrigation. Prominent
examples of local buildings with rainwater reuse systems include the Seattle City Hall, the Seattle Justice
Center, and the King Street Center, among others.
Rainfall in western Washington is notoriously plentiful in winter and negligible in summer. Storage tanks
are necessary to collect and store winter rain for use in the dry summer. Four to six months of storage can
amount to tens of thousands of gallons, even for a single family house, so these tanks are physically large.
Finding a suitable location for the tank on a building site is a major obstacle to installing rainwater reuse
systems for any project. Underground burial requires prohibitively costly excavation and reinforcement of
the tank structure. Above-ground tanks in the site’s building area displace usable floor area. Locating
tanks in the street setback addresses both of these obstacles.
Above-ground rainwater tanks adjacent to the street provide visible evidence to passing motorists and
pedestrians that a rainwater reuse system exists on the property. Tanks that are buried or tanks inside or
behind a building are invisible to everyone but the few people who maintain them. Like photovoltaic roof
panels and recycling bins, rainwater tanks have become features of the 21st century cityscape. Their
presence educates the public about sustainable practices, a goal of article C.12 of the U.S. Climate
Protection Agreement to which the city is formally committed.
The proposed text amendments are intended to significantly enhance the ability of projects in the city of
Edmonds to install rainwater reuse systems, to achieve LEED water efficiency credits and LEED
certification, to educate the public about rainwater reuse systems, and to help meet the city’s adopted
sustainability goals.
Sincerely,
George Ostrow

Community Services/Development Services Committee Meeting
March 11, 2008
Elected Officials Present: Staff Present:
Peggy Pritchard-Olson, Chair Duane Bowman, Dev. Services Director
D.J. Wilson, Council member Brian McIntosh, Parks and Recreation Director
Rob Chave, Planning Manager
The committee convened at 6:00 p.m.
A. PCC proposal for LEED code amendment.
Rob Chave introduced the topic. He noted that PCC Natural markets are developing a new food
store at the former Albertson’s site in Westgate. Part of their proposal was to re-develop the
property into a LEED certified building, seeking the highest level rating of platinum. In order to
achieve this high rating it is necessary for them to use water recycling. This requires the
construction of a rainwater storage tank on the property and the only location is within the street
setback along 100th Avenue. He pointed out that there are two approaches to addressing this issue.
One would be to go through the normal code amendment process which would not match the
construction timeframe for the new store or to do an interim zoning ordinance.
Mr. Chave introduced George Ostrow, architect for PCC Markets, who explained the LEED rating
system and what they were attempting for the new Edmonds store. He noted that there are only 100
LEED-platinum certified buildings in the world. He stated that the proposed water storage tank
would be approximately 8 feet wide by 12 feet high.
The CS/DS committee expressed strong support for the project and support for an interim zoning
ordinance.
ACTION: The CS/DS Committee directed staff to work with the City Attorney to prepare an interim
zoning ordinance for a limited area, establishing structure height and a component for public
education for consideration by the City Council on March 18, 2008.
B. Continued discussion of request for a bench near the Edmonds Museum and Veterans
Memorial).
Brian McIntosh introduced this topic. He explained that the original request came before the CS/DS
committee in November of 2007 from Myra Rintamaki whose son was killed in Iraq in 2004. Staff
researched the questions posed by the CS/DS committee and responded that
• Mrs. Rintamaki would still like a bench by the Veteran’s Memorial,
• The Cemetery Board has a location at the cemetery near the flag pole that would be
appropriate, and
• A $1,000 grant has been secured from the State Emblem Fund to construct a bench
which must be expended by July 30, 2008.

The CS/DS Committee concurred that the present area around the Veteran’s Memorial was too
crowded to locate a bench and that the cemetery is the best location for a bench that honors all of
the fallen soldiers from our community.
ACTION: The CS/DS committee directed the Parks Director to pursue locating a memorial bench at
the Edmonds Cemetery and to explore engraving that will honor all fallen soldiers.
C. Discussion on Resolution of Environmental Policy and Principles.
Council member Wilson introduced this topic. He felt that it was important that the City Council
provide a policy framework on the environment and especially the implications on development. He
noted that Edmonds has unique environmental features that need to be protected. The intent of the
draft resolution was to build upon the past actions of the city and to take advantage of new
opportunities such as fiber optic infrastructure and the Mayor’s Climate Change Committee. Chair
Olson thought that the draft was a good start and that the Council should be more proactive on
environmental issues.
Staff concurred with the committee comments. Duane Bowman raised a concern regarding the
timeline for the survey mentioned in the draft resolution. He noted that having a Council
environmental policy would be a good thing to weigh against Council actions related to policy and
regulation development. Rob Chave asked for some time to allow staff to respond to the draft. He
noted that he could submit comments by March 12, 2008 to Council member Wilson.
Discussion on schedule identified March 18, 2008 as a good night to open Council discussion on the
draft resolution with the potential for public comments on March 25, 2008.
ACTION: The CS/DS committee directed staff to place this matter on the City Council agenda for
March 18, 2008 and staff to send comments no later than March 12, 2008
The Committee meeting adjourned at 7:05 p.m.

4. CONTINUED DISCUSSION AND POTENTIAL ACTION REGARDING A RESOLUTION OF
ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY AND PRINCIPLES. NOTE: THIS AGENDA ITEM WILL BE OPEN
FOR PUBLIC COMMENT.
Recalling the Council began this discussion last week, Councilmember Wilson advised language had been
added under Principles, paragraph 3 regarding transit including commuter rail and light rail and that
Edmonds was uniquely positioned to utilize these strategies. He invited feedback from the Council and
the public, advising their comments and other comments he had received would be forwarded to the
Community Services/Development Services Committee.
Bob Freeman, Edmonds, recalled a question posed by an economics’ professor 50 years ago, what
would happen when oil began to run out? Although the class members had degrees in science or
engineering they did not think about the combustion products from burning oil, the emissions entering the
atmosphere, or the web of laws and regulations that provide ground rules for how the free market
operates. Fast forwarding 50 years to the present, it was clear to most that greenhouse gas emissions were
the leading cause of global climate change. A solution to the greenhouse gas emission problem and a way
to change the web of laws and regulations must be found before there were catastrophic environmental
consequences, anticipated to occur within the lifetime of some Councilmembers, their children and
grandchildren. Although the situation may appear to be in the hands of nations, he noted cities played an
important role in the solution to climate change because they controlled land use and zoning, building
permits, and public infrastructure and can influence public transportation systems, achieving energy
efficiency and stopping global climate change before it was too late. He urged Council to show
leadership by passing the proposed resolution, make sure staff knew what the Council wants, provide a
strong policy framework on adapting the City’s Comprehensive Plan and development code and
upcoming land use actions, and work with regional transportation agencies to improve public transit
systems to reduce the use of private automobiles. He advised Sustainable Edmonds was making a
presentation at the Port of Edmonds on March 26 regarding green building
Janis Freeman, Edmonds, reported on a book, “Hell and High Water” by Joseph Romm, founder and
Executive Director of the Center for Energy and Climate Solutions and a fellow at the Center for
American Progress. Dr. Romm recommends slowing greenhouse gas emissions by 2015 and holding
their growth by 2025, anticipating if the goal was not met by 2025 the earth would entering a period of
“planetary purgatory.” She noted the climate change movement was a grassroots movement that could
not afford to wait for national leadership. She thanked Councilmember Wilson for spearheading the

resolution, commenting it was needed as an unbiased yardstick on which to measure all proposed
Comprehensive Plan changes, development and redevelopment and other city activities or policies that
affect greenhouse gas emissions. She urged the Council to adopt the resolution without delay.
Suzie Schaeffer, Edmonds, Vice Chair of the Philchuck Audubon Society for Snohomish County,
expressed support for the resolution, recommending the addition of language regarding protecting and
maintaining wildlife, particularly birds. She explained a group of residents have submitted an application
to the National Wildlife Federation to certify Edmonds as a Backyard Wildlife Community, an effort
related to a number of activities including encouraging habitat within the community, in residents’
backyards and in businesses. They had contacted PCC regarding their landscaping as well as several
churches and schools. She offered to make a more formal presentation on the program in the future.
Joan Bloom, Edmonds, thanked Councilmember Wilson for the resolution, stating it was important and
potentially historic. She requested addition of language regarding wetlands to the first paragraph due to
their importance to the environment and habitat for birds and other wildlife. She referred to Section 1A
on page 2, “Code development emphasizing incentives for environmentally sensitive growth,”
commenting on the importance of incentives not overriding protection of the environment and noting
green development did not protect habitat. In addition to adding language regarding regional
transportation, she recommended including local transportation. With regard to tasks outlined in the
resolution and recalling her neighborhood’s unsuccessful efforts to prevent a developer from filling a
wetland, she suggested the Planning Board’s checklist have a requirement that in addition to a study of
critical areas, the property owner contact appropriate state and federal agencies that oversee wetlands.
David Thorpe, Edmonds, expressed support for the resolution, and commented on the importance of
preserving and fostering rather than protecting and limiting as well as the importance of codes.
Jeff Pavey, Edmonds, Program Director for Cascade Agenda. He explained this agency has a 100 year
vision for the region including Snohomish, Pierce, Kittitas and King Counties that hopes to protect 1.3
million acres of working farms and forests and preserve land in the four county region. He commented
on how communities’ growth impacted natural areas which was particularly important in view of climate
change issues. Cities like Edmonds taking a leadership role in sustainability and encouraging transit,
housing affordability and green building was an important step in advancing the issues around climate
change. He expressed support for the resolution.
Christie Kelly, Futurewise, and Smart Growth Director for the Philchuck Audubon Society, echoed Mr.
Pavey’s comments and expressed support for the resolution.
Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, recognized there were many people in the Edmonds area that were very
interested in the environment - climate change, wetland, fish, development, and transportation - not just
green buildings. He recommended the resolution be expanded, refined and discussed in a public forum.
He suggested the resolution be forwarded to the Planning Board to allow them to refine it and seek public
input. He cautioned against “getting in a frenzy” to do things that circumvent the code in the name of
environment. He referred to the upcoming agenda item where the developer of PCC wanted to install a
rain barrel in the setback, an area he noted was not intended to be a storage area. He emphasized the
situation was not an emergency; if the developer wanted to utilize water from the roof and needed a
storage facility in the right-of-way, he should be required to follow the process. His understanding was
the Council was being asked to enact an interim ordinance to put something ahead of the normal process.
Lora Petso, Edmonds, Olympic View Water District Commissioner, commented she was not previously
aware of the rain barrel proposal for the PCC site. She advised the State felt they owned stormwater and
did not currently allow the capture and reuse of stormwater. She urged staff to research State regulations.

Cliff Sanderlin, Edmonds, endorsed the resolution and emphasized the importance of looking toward
Puget Sound with regard to planning. He pointed out the need to prevent runoff from entering Puget
Sound by paving less and having more marsh lands and more pervious surfaces. He noted development
was negatively impacting streams feeding Puget Sound and destroying habitat and fish species in Puget
Sound were at risk from pollutants entering storm drains. He pointed out Edmonds was in a prime
location and it was an excellent time to be a leader in saving Puget Sound.
Councilmember Wilson explained the resolution was the result of input from Councilmembers Olson and
Dawson. The resolution provided direction to staff and as issues such as the rain barrel arose, the City
needed clear policy so that staff could be directed to allow things that reflected the Council’s policy
decisions. He invited comment from Councilmembers.
Councilmember Wambolt stated for every scientist that indicated global warming was manmade, there
was another who found the opposite, that it was cyclical. He referred to a news report from NASA
regarding eight weather satellites that take over 300,000 temperature readings daily over the entire surface
of the earth; in nearly 30 years of operations, the satellites discovered a warming trend of just .14 degrees
centigrade per decade, well within the natural range of temperature variation. Although he supported the
resolution, before getting into a “frenzy,” he preferred a cost/benefit analysis be included in the resolution
and any initiatives should pass a cost/benefit test and any expenditure should yield a similar amount in
cost savings.
Councilmember Bernheim expressed support for the resolution, acknowledging he was uncertain when it
would be actively supported. He noted the resolution contained a list of twelve principles and four goals
and asks staff to undertake certain research and investigation activities. He found the goals undeniably
valuable, recognizing that not everyone agreed with him. He agreed with avoiding taking action in a
“frenzy” and that any action should be done deliberately and with a lot of support.
Councilmember Bernheim referred to an anti-idling ordinance he planned to propose to the Public Safety
Committee next month, an ordinance that would prohibit cars and trucks with internal combustion
gasoline engines from running if the vehicle was not moving for a period of three minutes. He noted this
was a wasteful energy expenditure and creator of greenhouse gases; cars were not personal, portable
heaters and would not be permitted to run to keep the occupants warm in situations such as the ferry
holding lanes. In addition to carbon reduction strategies, he noted resolutions such as this were needed to
support staff and educational policies. He emphasized the need to simply drive cars less.
Councilmember Bernheim explained another effort related to green building materials and construction
practices, advising he also planned to introduce a green building code that would require new projects of
10,000 square feet or more and over three stories to be LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design) certified or have some another environmental certification. He noted the resolution did not
address the use of green energy. He cautioned against Councilmember Wambolt’s suggestion that
expenditures have an equal return, explaining he purchased green energy for his home and business via
PUD to support the development and generation of green energy and had solar panels on his home. He
recommended including in the resolution that the City strive to have all its energy needs met via
recycled/green energy. The most important part of green energy was conservation. He anticipated
residents could reduce their energy consumption by 50%. He expressed support for the resolution and for
specific actions that would result in actual reductions.
Councilmember Olson expressed support for the resolution, noting whether global warming existed or
not, people needed to use resources in a more efficient manner, and to be encouraged to build green or
reuse rainwater rather than having regulations that made that effort difficult.

With regard to comments about frenzied activity, Councilmember Wilson noted the resolution was
reviewed by the Community Services/Development Services Committee, by the Council last week and
was present for public comment tonight, evidence of a public, unfrenzied, methodical process. He
explained the purpose of the resolution was to galvanize a constituency in the community around the idea
of smart development that would mitigate future challenges as a result of global climate change, etc. He
advised the additional feedback would be presented to the Community Services/Development Services
Committee at their April 8 meeting and a final resolution returned to the Council.
Councilmember Wambolt clarified his comment was not about developing a policy in a frenzy but
implementing action in a frenzy.
Council President Plunkett encouraged Councilmembers during the upcoming break to read the emails
received regarding Item 6. He noted if the Council felt that information was provided too late, action on
that item could be postponed.
Mayor Haakenson declared a brief recess.
5. AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Mayor Haakenson reminded the audience that Agenda Item 7 was a presentation from staff and the
property owners regarding what could occur on the Antique Mall, Harbor Square and Skippers properties.
As the Council planned to take public comment at the April 1 meeting on what was presented tonight, he
encouraged the public during Audience Comments not to talk about what they thought they would see
tonight and instead make comment at next week’s meeting.
Lora Petso, Edmonds, relayed she met with a group of citizens recently in an effort to convey how much
she valued the downtown area, in particular the open, view-like feeling that currently exists at the
Skippers property. She acknowledged the existence of the ferry, overhead signs, intersection, etc., noting
there were also views of the mountains, Puget Sound, and park. Using a photograph of the existing view
beyond the Skippers property, she superimposed a 30-foot lot line-to-lot line building to illustrate how it
would impact views. She referred to past discussions regarding linking downtown with the waterfront,
pointing out certain properties, including the Skippers property, were potentially essential for creating an
inviting link between downtown and the waterfront. She encouraged the Council to consider the value of
the Skippers property as the long-awaited link between downtown and the waterfront.
Dave Page, Edmonds, referred to the national issue affecting the public’s life savings and pocketbook -
the prime mortgage mess, the Federal Reserve bail out of private banks. In 1933 the banks were heavily
regulated because during the Depression they went into competition with private enterprise, made poor
investments, and ran out of money which resulted in runs on the banks that then ran out of money and the
entire banking system collapsed. He referred to the Glass Steagall Act that placed restrictions on banks so
that they could not create and sell securities on the open market. That Act was in place for 65 years;
banks got the Glass Steagall Act repealed in 1999 and in 2001 the stock market experienced a mini-crash.
Large banks then created and sold mortgage backed securities (collateralized debt obligations) with no
risk because they were able to make loans and promptly sell them. He emphasized the need to repeal the
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the Act adopted to repeal the Glass Steagall Act.
Al Rutledge, Edmonds, reported on the March 6 Hearing Examiner meeting regarding the Diamond
Parking lot at 102 Main Street. He questioned whether the Hearing Examiner considered the Port’s
purchase of Harbor Square and whether the parking lot was transferable. Next he reported on the March
24 Lynnwood City Council meeting, advised he requested information from Edmonds School District 5-6

months ago regarding the next high school. He was advised once the environmental studies were
completed, public hearings would be held. He also reported the neighborhood park court hearing was
scheduled for April 23.
Ray Martin, Edmonds, agreed with the Councilmembers’ concerns about getting into a frenzy or taking
abrupt action. With regard to rainwater cisterns, he expressed concern with the water quality, noting
municipal water supplies were tested daily versus cisterns which were rarely tested. He relayed that the
Snohomish County Health District indicated the city was responsible for testing water in a cistern and the
City said Snohomish County or the property owner was responsible. He acknowledged the rain water
collection was intended to be used for toilet water; however, he questioned the longevity of plumbing
valves to separate the water sources. He also questioned the accuracy of the property owner’s sewer bill
if rainwater were used to supplement water supply.
Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, commented on his past experience with the property owners who would
speak regarding the Antique Mall, Harbor Square and Skippers properties. He opined the property
owners’ motivation was to increase the price of the land via a code change even though the existing
zoning would accommodate development. He referred to Ms. Petso’s view from the Skippers property,
recalling the community’s efforts regarding views blocked by the ferry overhead loading ramp. As a
result of the community efforts and concern with views, the ramp was designed to be moved if the ferry
terminal were relocated. He cited the importance of views and openness in the area of the ferry holding
lanes and the area of Main & Dayton, commenting past proposals have included an urban village with
extremely tall buildings.
6. PROPOSED INTERIM ZONING ORDINANCE TO PERMIT RAIN WATER COLLECTION
TANKS IN STREET SETBACKS TO SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT OF "GREEN" BUILDINGS.
Planning Manager Rob Chave explained this was forwarded to the Council at the recommendation of the
Community Services/Development Services Committee. With regard to what this was, he explained it
was not a variance and was not an emergency; the Council could adopt an interim zoning ordnance. The
reason it was proposed to the Council was the result of a fortuitous accident; the PCC planned to pursue a
Platinum level LEED building. Their primary hurdle was rainwater recycling on the site, an issue the
City’s codes did not anticipate. The developer inquired whether an 8 x 12 foot rainwater storage tank
would be allowed in the setback, to which staff answered no. The developer then asked whether they
could obtain a variance and staff answered no as there was no criteria that allowed a variance for a
technological innovation. Recognizing that the Council adopted resolutions in support of the Mayor’s
Climate Protection Agreement, joined the consortium working on sustainable building practices and
signed the Kyoto protocol, staff concluded this was an appropriate item to present to the Council.
Mr. Chave summarized there were two choices, 1) incorporate the concept into the code via the normal
process, or 2) adopt an interim zoning ordinance which placed the zoning provision into the code on a
temporary basis while the City studied it via the Planning Board process that includes a public hearing.
An interim ordinance was appropriate in view of the Council’s policy statements in support of this type of
development although there was a disincentive in the code for this specific proposal as there was no room
for it on the site. This amendment was narrowly constructed and was not a frenzied attempt that would
open the City to negative impacts; it would be limited to commercial setback areas, could only occupy
10% of the setback, and limited to accessory structures of 15-feet or less although there was a provision
that would allow the tank to be as high as the building height in the commercial zone. He noted to be
allowed to exceed 15-feet, review by the ADB would be required. He read the following whereas from
the ordinance and recommended approval of the ordinance:

WHEREAS, the City of Edmonds is a signatory to the U.S. Climate Protection
Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Agreement urges the practice and promotion of sustainable building
practices using the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED Program; and
WHEREAS, water efficiency is a major factor in LEED programs; and
WHEREAS, water efficiency can be achieved by installation of rainwater collection and
reuse systems to provide water for toilets and urinals, mechanical cooling equipment and
irrigation; and
WHEREAS, the major disincentives to installing rainwater collection and reuse
systems are the displacement of developable areas and the cost of underground tanks; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds it to be in the public interest to adopt an interim
ordinance removing certain barriers in the Edmonds Community Development Code that
discourage installation of rainwater collection and reuse systems;
Mayor Haakenson advised if approved, the interim zoning ordinance would expire in six months and the
Council was required to hold a public hearing within 60 days.
For Councilmember Wambolt, Mr. Chave advised the rainwater storage tank could not occupy more than
10% of the street setback along 100th Avenue. Councilmember Wambolt expressed concern with the
width of the storage tank, noting it appeared to be very close to the sidewalk. Mr. Chave pointed out
there was a provision that limits any location based on safety, access, etc., which would prevent it from
blocking a walkway, sight distance, or drive aisle. Councilmember Wambolt asked why none of the
materials illustrated the proposed tank. Mr. Chave’s understanding was the final tank design had not yet
been selected. He noted one of the benefits of the rainwater storage tank was demonstration/education;
the interim ordinance contains a requirement for an educational component.
Councilmember Wambolt asked if any consideration was given to placing the tank in the eastern corner of
the site. Mr. Chave was uncertain whether the property line on that side would accommodate it. City
Attorney Scott Snyder advised via this action, the Council was not authorizing any design. ADB or staff
approval would be required for the placement, screening, materials, etc. Mr. Chave advised it would have
to be consistent with the design criteria and objectives. Councilmember Wambolt asked if there was any
provision for reimbursing the City for the use of the property. Mr. Chave answered that was not in the
ordinance; the Planning Board could be asked to consider that. The reimbursement was the public benefit
via less use of the public water system, reducing runoff to the treatment plant, etc. Councilmember
Wambolt noted PCC was doing this as a business decision, not because they were a benevolent
organization. Mr. Chave noted the setback was not technically City property, it was private property.
Councilmember Bernheim pointed out in the first whereas clause, the name of the document the City of
Edmonds was a signatory to was the U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement. He asked if an
underground rainwater storage tank would not be allowed in the setback. Mr. Chave answered no, to the
extent it was a structure. Only in the BC zone were underground structures allowed to the property line,
the PCC is in the BN zone. Councilmember Bernheim suggested including reference to industrial zone
and asked whether that was appropriate. Mr. Chave acknowledged some of the City’s commercial zones
functioned like industrial zones.
Councilmember Bernheim expressed concern with the definition of setback area, suggesting the language
be clarified to mean the setback area where the tank was located. Mr. Chave answered the proposed
language was acceptable as the specific setbacks were defined in the code and staff would reference the
specific setback. Mr. Snyder pointed out except on a corner lot there was only one street setback.

Councilmember Dawson applauded the intent of the interim ordinance, noting the request for this project
was due to PCC seeking platinum LEED certification and there was nothing in the code provision that
addressed the rainwater storage tank. She questioned why there was no language requiring water reuse,
water efficiency or eligibility for LEED certification, etc., commenting rainwater capture was not
sufficient to warrant this exception to the setback. She suggested language regarding demonstrable water
use reduction, which would allow LEED certified buildings to utilize this exception but not someone
wanting to locate a rain barrel in the setback. Mr. Chave advised staff considered that and concluded it
would be appropriately considered by the Planning Board. He noted one of the difficulties was
certification occurred after the project was completed.
Councilmember Dawson referred to the LEED certification checklist, noting some of those requirements
such as water efficient irrigation, water use reduction, etc. could be incorporated. She was concerned
projects that were not as well done as the PCC project could take advantage of this code provision and
wanted to ensure there was some public benefit provided by a project that could utilize the ordinance.
Mr. Chave pointed out the educational component was a public benefit. Councilmember Dawson
acknowledged it would be difficult to prove a percentage water use reduction at the stage of development
the use of the setback was requested. Mr. Chave suggested including the phrase regarding educational
component into the definition in the interim ordinance.
Mr. Snyder commented ultimately it would be appropriate to tie the requirement to a certification
program, noting any program the Council may adopt would need to be in the code. He anticipated as a
result of the resolution, the City would begin considering green building codes, making it easier to tie this
to a certification program. In response to the public’s concerns with water quality, he assured a
completely separate water distribution system within a building or structure that utilized a rainwater
storage tank was already addressed by the building code, it was not separated by merely a valve. With
regard to comments regarding rain barrels, he noted a structure was defined in the building code as a
combination of materials attached to the ground. Councilmember Dawson noted there was language in
the ordinance regarding permanent structures. She reiterated her suggestion to include language
regarding public benefit and to work out the details of that requirement in the Planning Board process.
Councilmember Orvis clarified this was the first step; there would be a public hearing at the Planning
Board. Mr. Snyder agreed the interim ordinance was followed by a process involving the Planning Board
to adopt a permanent ordinance with the interim ordinance expiring in six months. Mr. Chave noted there
would be a public hearing on the interim ordinance within six months. He noted Mayor Haakenson’s
Climate Protection Committee was working on potential Comprehensive Plan and program proposals that
would be presented to the Council later this year. He anticipated broader programmatic and policy
matters would be proposed; the issue with this request was timing.
Councilmember Wilson invited the architect to provide further information on LEED standards, why PCC
wanted to site a platinum LEED building in Edmonds, the difference between gold and platinum
standards, how many of those types of buildings existed, etc.
George Ostra, architect for PCC Natural Markets, explained this was PCC’s ninth store and they had
been pursuing a green building program for the past 14 years. They tried to do a little more for each
store; their last store in Redmond was the first PCC store to achieve a LEED certification. He explained
LEED was the national green building standard and had become the de facto standard in the past 5-6
years for determining what was a green building. Its main function was to simplify the complex aspects
of green building to Olympic medals - bronze, silver, gold and platinum. In the entire world there were
only 100 LEED platinum certified buildings; in order to achieve that level, they must achieve 80% of the
1600 credits that are offered for things like energy efficiency, using less water, locating a site conducive
to transit-oriented development, using recycled materials, using materials sourced within a 500 mile
Packet Page 444 of 466
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes

Page 9
radius of the building, etc. He noted their Redmond store achieved a gold certification or about 60% of
the credits. The Edmonds PCC would include everything done at the Redmond store plus the water
component. The rainwater tank and separate piping would cost thousands. PCC did this because they are
a natural organic food grocery. The LEED certification goes hand-in-hand with their business policies
regarding their food, research and products. He pointed out the rainwater would be stored in the tank and
used to water the landscaping and to flush toilets.
Councilmember Wilson recalled there were 18 gold standard buildings in Washington State and 100
platinum buildings in the world. He assumed there were few cities of Edmonds size with a platinum
building. If Edmonds had two platinum level buildings, it would likely be the only city of its size in the
world with two such buildings. Mr. Ostra was unable to confirm that statement.
Mayor Haakenson commented the City was thrilled to have PCC in the community and that they intended
to build the first platinum building in Edmonds.
Councilmember Wambolt asked what appeared to be doors on the site plan. Mr. Ostra responded it was a
trash enclosure that was allowed by the code and had already been approved and permitted. He explained
they intended to build one cylindrical primarily vertical water tank in the 15-foot setback to the height
limit of 15 feet, approximately 8 feet in diameter that would hold 5,000 gallons of water, a week’s supply
for toilets and watering. He noted the water tank was vertical to take advantage of natural gravity.
Councilmember Wambolt asked if consideration was given to locating the tank on the eastern corner of
the property. Mr. Ostra advised there were several reasons for siting it on the west side, 1) there was a
property line down the center of the parking on the east side and there was not enough space on that side,
2) approximately two-thirds of the water on the roof flows toward the west, 3) all utilities enter from the
west, and 4) the location along the street assisted in the educational benefit.
COUNCILMEMBER PLUNKETT MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BERNHEIM,
FOR APPROVAL OF ORDINANCE NO. 3682 AND REQUESTED IT BE RETURNED ON THE
CONSENT AGENDA.
COUNCILMEMBER BERNHEIM MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER DAWSON, TO
AMEND 21.90.140(B)(2) TO LIMIT THE STRUCTURE TO THE MAXIMUM HEIGHT OF
ACCESSORY STRUCTURES IN THE ZONE. THE AMENDMENT CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Mayor Haakenson clarified the ordinance when returned on the Consent Agenda would incorporate all the
Council’s comments.
Councilmember Bernheim did not support a demonstrable water use reduction, noting this was a
rainwater collection system, a developer would not install one if it did not work and it was difficult to
predict performance. Councilmember Dawson commented she did not necessarily want to require a set
amount of reduction but wanted to require language regarding water reuse.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
7. PRESENTATIONS REGARDING WATERFRONT ANTIQUE MALL, HARBOR SQUARE AND
SKIPPERS PROPERTIES: (1) CITY STAFF WILL PRESENT INFORMATION ON THE
EXISTING DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK PROVIDED BY THE CITY’S COMPREHENSIVE
PLAN AND ZONING CODE; (2) MARK HINSHAW WILL GIVE A PRESENTATION ON
URBAN DEVELOPMENT AND MIXED USE; AND (3) PROPERTY OWNERS WILL PROVIDE
A STATUS REPORT ON THEIR PLANS FOR SUBJECT PROPERTIES.
Community Services Director/Acting Economic Development Director Stephen Clifton recalled during
the February 1 and 2, 2008 City Council retreat, Councilmembers discussed concerns, visions, and
interests regarding the Downtown Master Plan area as identified within the City of Edmonds

Comprehensive Plan. This area is also known as the Port of Edmonds Harbor Square, Antique Mall and
Skipper properties and generally includes properties between Main Street and the north edge of Edmonds
Marsh, SR 104 and BNSF rail lines.
The Council also expressed support for the City holding at least two public meetings to discuss the
potential redevelopment of the subject area. For tonight’s meeting, the Council asked for presentations by
City staff, Mark Hinshaw and property owners of Harbor Square, the Antique Mall and Skipper. The first
group of presenters will consist of staff presenting information on the existing redevelopment framework
established by the City’s Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code, the Economic Development Plan, and
Plan implementation and zoning. This information is intended to provide a knowledge base for future
discussions.
Mr. Clifton recalled the Council’s interest in a presentation by Mark Hinshaw, LMN Architects, to
discuss urban and mixed use development. Mr. Hinshaw agreed to participate due to his past working
relationship with the City and interest in providing a perspective that may assist in future Council
deliberations. Mr. Hinshaw will present his findings from a book he recently authored regarding people
choosing to move into downtowns as well as redevelopment possibilities and constraints. He noted Mr.
Hinshaw did not represent the City or any of the subject property owners nor did he have a contract with
any of the entities. He was also not being compensated for his time this evening. The third group of
presentations would be given by the owners of the subject properties, Harbor Square, Antique Mall and
Skippers. During a second public meeting, scheduled for April 1, 2008, the public is invited to provide
comments on potential redevelopment. The City Council will discuss possible next steps following the
public comment period.
Staff Presentation
Planning Manager Rob Chave referred to additional information provided to Councilmembers by
Councilmember Bernheim regarding specific sections of the Comprehensive Plan. He explained the
Comprehensive Plan was part of the City’s regulatory framework. He displayed maps of the pre-1995
and 1995 Comprehensive Plan, explaining the 1995 Comprehensive Plan was the first GMA-compliant
Comprehensive Plan, had very generalized use areas, and adopted an overall plan concept of “Designed
Infill” and included the concept of “Activity Centers” which was derived from Vision 2020 regional plan
framework. He reviewed the following Designed Infill principles:
• Retain general land use pattern without introducing higher intensity development into existing
single family neighborhoods.
• Careful growth in “corridors,” recognizing their transportation function.
• Focus new growth and redevelopment in “Activity Centers” to meet GMA requirements,
recognizing Edmonds would need to take its share of population growth. It was recognized the
only areas for substantial redevelopment and growth would be downtown and Hwy. 99.
The 1995 Comprehensive Plan structure included elements required by GMA plus an optional element,
Community Culture and Urban Design, as well as referenced specific plan elements including the
Downtown Plan and other Master Plans. He displayed the 1995 Edmonds Comprehensive Plan concept
map and the Edmonds Comprehensive Plan Downtown Activity Center Concept map, explaining there
was a specific Plan for the downtown/waterfront area that identified the concept of mixed use, linkage
between downtown and the waterfront, and introduced the Master Planned Development concept.
Mr. Chave explained the current Comprehensive Plan changed from a “conceptual” to more detailed plan
map, closely tied to zoning, continued the “Designed Infill” concept with focus on “Activity Centers,”
and acknowledges recent GMA emphasis on plan capacity and buildable lands. The Downtown
Waterfront Activity Center Plan was no longer a separate, standalone document; it was now integrated
Packet Page 446 of 466
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
March 25, 2008
Page 11
into the Land Use element language. He noted Councilmember Bernheim’s email highlighted additional
information in the Comprehensive Plan.
Mr. Chave explained the current Downtown Plan direction includes most of the goals and policies from
the old “Downtown/Waterfront Plan;” retains its identity as an “Activity Center,” includes the Edmonds
Crossing plans, updated planning on the arts integration, includes new Downtown “Districts,” including
Redevelopment/Master Plan opportunities, and includes new “Design Objectives.” He displayed a map
of the 1995 Comprehensive Plan and the current Downtown Plan direction, explaining the current plan
differentiates downtown districts and emphasizes the importance of master plan-based redevelopment.
The master plan area included the Port of Edmonds Harbor Square, Antique Mall and Skippers properties.
Mr. Chave highlighted the current Downtown Plan: open space/public areas along waterfront, view
corridors and downtown/waterfront pedestrian connections, and master plan-based redevelopment. He
read the Downtown Plan direction in the current Comprehensive Plan: “The properties between SR-104
and the railroad, including Harbor Square, the Edmonds Shopping Center (former Safeway site), and
extending past the Commuter Rail parking area up to Main Street. This area is appropriate for design-
driven master planned development which provides for a mix of uses and takes advantage of its strategic
location between the waterfront and downtown. The location of existing taller buildings on the
waterfront, and the site's situation at the bottom of “the Bowl,” could enable a design that provides for
higher buildings outside current view corridors. Any redevelopment in this area should be oriented to the
street fronts, and provide pedestrian-friendly walking areas, especially along Dayton and Main Streets.
Development design should also not ignore the railroad side of the properties, since this is an area that
provides a “first impression” of the city from railroad passengers and visitors to the waterfront. Art
work, landscaping, and modulated building design should be used throughout any redevelopment
project.”
Mr. Chave commented in the past master plan development had been internally focused which resulted in
their being more isolated, less accessible and more difficult to sustain development over time. He noted
the importance of master planning the larger area to provide a linkage between the downtown and the
waterfront.
Mr. Clifton provided goals and policies from the December 2006 Economic Development Plan that were
applicable to this area.
1. Foster a healthy business community that provides employment and other economic
opportunities.
b. Develop or maintain business recruitment programs, and create a tool box of incentives to
encourage retail and other commercial development.
c. Encourage and expand business expansion and retention programs.
2. Revitalize the city’s business districts, balancing redevelopment, preservation and the need
for consumer amenities
a. Adopt land use policies, zoning, and design guidelines that are supportive of responsible
economic development.
c. Revise parking requirements, especially downtown, to encourage business development.
d. Develop land use regulations that will encourage Transit Oriented Development (T.O.D.)
in the Harbor Square and “Old Safeway” area.
i. Create synergy for commercial businesses where possible, for example, by implementing
a “retail core” area in the downtown.
j. Provide a quality environment with character for patrons and residents to enjoy.

3. Diversify the tax base and increase revenues to support local services.
a. Address barriers to redevelopment in business districts, and encourage mixed-use
development.
c. Implement regulations and/or design guidelines that will ensure the development of
quality retail and commercial space that can physically accommodate a variety of future
users.
4. Strengthen the quality of life and vitality of the community for residents, workers and
visitors to enjoy.
a. Develop a housing strategy that plans for a variety of housing options, both in design and
affordability, around the city. Consider housing options for artists.
b. Promote the visitor/tourism sector. Sustain and develop facilities that attract tourists,
conferences, professional training, sporting events and other recreational opportunities.
c. Consider building incentives that may encourage environmentally-friendly construction
(or LEED certified), a percent set-aside for the arts, public spaces, and affordable
housing.
d. Expand social, cultural, artistic, recreational and other learning activities for all
generations.
Mr. Clifton advised the Plan contained only one applicable implementation strategy in the Economic
Development Plan: Study and adopt a package of incentives for use in business recruitment and retention
efforts.
Development Services Director Duane Bowman described Plan implementation and zoning. With regard
to implementation, he explained the Downtown Master Plan was a defined downtown “district” with very
general redevelopment guidance. A Master Plan can be implemented in a variety of ways such as specific
zone identifying uses/design, an adopted Master Plan in the Comprehensive Plan, or conditional approval
process such as a developer’s agreement or contract rezone.
He displayed a map of the existing zoning in the subject area, the Harbor Square, Antique Mall and
Skippers properties. He reviewed a table of bulk zoning standards for the BC zone.
Mr. Bowman provided examples from the code of modulated roof design. He also reviewed parking
requirements in the BC zone: 1 stall/500 square feet gross floor area for commercial uses and 1
stall/residential unit. He displayed a list of permitted primary uses in the BC zone including retail stores,
new automobile sales and service, dry cleaning, multiple dwelling unit above the ground floor; secondary
uses permitted in the BC zone including limited assembly, off-street parking and commuter parking lots;
and conditional uses in the BC zone including commercial parking lots, hotels/motels, amusement
establishments, drive-in businesses.
Mr. Bowman explained the 14 acre Harbor Square site was rezoned from Industrial Park to General
Commercial in 1980 via a contract rezone and has a Master Plan associated with the contract rezone. He
identified specific uses that are prohibited on the Harbor Square site such as automobile wrecking yard,
drive-in restaurants, motel, service station, fuel storage yard, etc. He noted Harbor Square was designed
to be a contained development, a concept that was less desirable today. He reviewed the development
standards adopted via the contract rezone:
• Buildings may not exceed 35 feet in height.
• Comply with a conceptual master site plan with certain modifications allowed.
• All buildings must be reviewed and approved by the Architectural Design Board.
• Signs are allowed that comply with the BC zone.
Packet Page 448 of 466

• Outdoor storage or assemblage must be screened from SR 104 and Dayton Street.
• Minimum street setback for buildings is 25 feet from both Dayton Street and SR 104.
• Minimum setback for parking is 10 feet from Dayton Street and SR104.
He identified options for implementation of the Comprehensive Plan:
• Develop subject properties under existing zoning.
• If there is a desire to provide flexible development standards, other than what currently exists, a
new zoning district could be established which includes new development standards.
• Applicant initiates development of master plan and proposes Comprehensive Plan amendment to
adopt the plan along with related zoning code amendments, followed by a request for a rezone to
implement the proposed plan.
• Applicant initiates development of master plan and proposes related zoning code provisions,
followed by a request for a contract rezone to implement the proposed plan.
• Master Plans must be consistent with the comprehensive plan goals and policies for the area.
Mark Hinshaw Presentation
Mark Hinshaw, LMN Architects, explained his intent was to share observations that may contribute to
the Council’s deliberation about the future of this area. He noted Edmonds was not alone in this
endeavor; virtually all cities/towns in western Washington were engaged in the same effort, a logical
outgrowth of the GMA which directs future development into urban centers. He recommended when
considering development in areas such as this, it was important to think about what would be happening
to society, culture, and economy in the next several decades.
He referred to his book, “True Urbanism, Living In and Near the Center” that addresses the phenomenon
of urbanizing centers. He pointed out it was not just a real estate phenomenon or preference of some
property owners; it was a fundamental long term change in demography, culture and economy that would
last for decades. The number of households was increasing dramatically while household size was
decreasing. The fastest growing groups were singles, single parent households, seniors and starter
households (S groups) and were the drivers of the economy; it was no longer an economy driven by
growing families with children. The typical American household, two adults and two children,
represented less than 25% of the population and was continually decreasing. The 4 S groups represented
55% of the population and were likely to represent 65% of the population in fifteen years. He pointed out
senior households were currently approximately one out of six; in fifteen years, they would be one of
four. He commented on the effect this would have on the economy including delivery of goods and
services, healthcare, transportation, housing and neighborhoods.
He displayed a longevity comparison in the United States from 1900 to 2050 that illustrated an increase
life expectancy from 50 in 1900 to 80 in 2050, an age well past retirement. He displayed a chart
illustrating traffic accident fatalities by age with the highest numbers at age 16-20 and 75-85+. He
explained although Americans were living longer, their eye-hand coordination failed in later years and
many seniors lose their licenses, sometimes with 20 additional years with no access to an automobile.
This required many seniors to find alternate means of transportation including walking. The concept of
retirement will change as pension plans and Social Security failed and active seniors wanted to work.
He pointed out another factor was the increasing cost of gas, anticipating a price of approximately
$9.00/gallon was not more than 5-7 years in the future. Increased gas prices would dramatically change
Americans’ behaviors, requiring that they consider transit, walking and other alternate forms of
transportation.

Mr. Hinshaw displayed a comparison of downtown populations in several major cities from 1970 to 2000
and his research of developments built, under construction and permitted in those cities since 2000 which
illustrated a dramatic increase in downtown populations. He cited the importance of housing
opportunities for a variety of demographics in urban centers. He displayed several photographs of
downtown areas, noting the street level was the most important environment. He commented on allowing
quirky uses, not only chain stores; changes in the way goods and services were delivered and streets as
public living rooms.
Mr. Hinshaw noted a unique feature of the Master Plan area that most other cities did not have was the
constraint on underground parking due to the high water table. He pointed out surface parking was no
longer being constructed and was being replaced by structured parking which was significantly more
costly. Due to the high water table on the subject site, structured parking must extend above ground
which would immediately eat into the height limit. He noted it would require more than a couple floors to
pay for the premium cost of structured parking.
Property Owner Presentations
Bruce Faires, Port of Edmonds Commissioner, explained his mission was to relate the Port of
Edmonds’ plans for redevelopment, specifically Harbor Square. The Port and adjacent property owners
had a different perspective on recent activities. He explained possible redevelopment activity began in
earnest two years ago with two events, 1) the Port’s purchase of most of the buildings at Harbor Square
which required they undertake a Master Plan for the area, and 2) the City’s interest via a joint City
Council/Port meeting in May 2006 to begin discussions regarding redevelopment of the area east of the
railroad tracks, west of SR104 and Sunset Avenue, north of the Marsh to Main Street. Some of the
property owners in that area, along with involvement of City staff and City Council, began a series of
meetings to develop alternatives for possible redevelopment. The primary considerations for that activity
were cultural, aesthetic and economic impacts and took into consideration all adjacent properties. The
Port took a leadership role in this endeavor due to their belief the interests of their constituents, the City
and region were best served by looking at the area as a whole and proposing integrated and coordinated
development alternatives rather than piecemeal redevelopment. The basic foundation of the group’s
discussion was the Downtown Master Plan as contained in the City’s Comprehensive Plan. He read the
language in the Comprehensive Plan regarding the Downtown Master Plan (above in italics).
Mr. Faires advised the two privately held parcels in this area have indicated they intend to redevelop in
the near future whereas the Port could wait a decade or more to redevelop Harbor Square as its present
condition and usefulness did not require immediate redevelopment. It is the Port’s position after
discussing the need for specific Harbor Square redevelopment in two public forums, the Port will back
away from its previous leadership role, adopt a wait-and-see approach as redevelopment discussions in
the community and City Council continue and decisions are made regarding specific redevelopment plans
for those parcels of lands should be addressed first. He noted the Port would certainly work toward an
integrated and cohesive plan for all the area as opportunities permit to avoid parcel-by-parcel decisions
and the resultant huge missed opportunity.
Mike Spence, land use attorney representing the property owners of the Antique Mall property,
commented the timing of his clients’ redevelopment was sometime in the near future; the exact time
period had not yet been determined. One of the reasons the time period had not been established was
because when comparing the zoning code, Comprehensive Plan, the GMA planning policies, and the
Growth Management Hearings Board’s interpretation of the GMA planning policies, it was clear the
current zoning was out of sync with the rest of the regulatory and legislative scheme. He noted the
Zoning Code did not appear to appreciate that the property abutted the train track with an Amtrak station
and Sound Transit station, was walking distance from a State ferry terminal and was located on a State
Packet Page 450 of 466
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes

Page 15
highway. He noted there were few sites on Puget Sound located this close to transit that offered such a
unique opportunity to get people out of their cars and onto transit.
Mr. Spence pointed out goals in the GMA to reduce sprawl and encourage urban development. The
GMA encourages urban density in areas where infrastructures exists or can easily be provided, a criteria
the subject properties met better than any other properties in Edmonds, Snohomish County and possibly
the Puget Sound region. He considered the Growth Management Hearing Board’s (GMHB) decision
interpreting 36.78.020, the statute establishing the GMA goals and found a phrase that arose often in
GMHB decisions was compact urban communities. He doubted a 25-foot height limit plus 5-feet for
modulation and a parking requirement of one space per 500 square feet for commercial and one space per
residential unit met the definition of compact urban community, particularly in light of increasing gas
prices and concerns with climate change. He concluded they looked forward to working with the City
and other properties owners to develop a contract rezone, a legislative proposal, a rezone, or whatever
vehicle the City determined was most appropriate. They looked forward to being involved in the process
and envisioned tremendous potential to do a great development, one of the nicest in the Puget Sound
region.
Bob Gregg, Edmonds, advised he owned the Skippers property, the northern tip and smallest property
but strategically located, one of the most important parcels and the starting point. He anticipated
development on that site would set the tone for the other properties. He observed the Comprehensive
Plan anticipated development in this area, anticipated an update of the current zoning, and anticipated a
public-private partnership. He described their intent to first develop a vision followed by a plan that
incorporated all of these elements. He referred to the menu of options Mr. Bowman presented, explaining
they consider the same options and determined two possible ways to proceed, first, to propose a new zone
and create a project that fit the new zone. The difficulty with this option was visualizing what the new
zone would allow/prohibit and neither the developer nor the public would be certain of the end result.
The second option was to propose a new zone and a contract rezone. Under this approach everyone
would see exactly what would be developed on their property before it was approved and once it was
approved, that was the only thing that could be built on the site. He favored the second option.
He advised Mr. Van Skike would describe their proposed process that would result in a proposal for the
Skippers site this year. He acknowledged they did not have a building to propose tonight and hoped the
public and the Council would leave the meeting pleased that there would be plenty of time and many
opportunities to have input into the design and a lot of influence throughout the process. He provided his
personal goals for the site:
• Develop a plan that would receive unanimous Council approval.
• Seek and be sensitive to features and amenities that the public wants incorporated into the design.
• Seek platinum LEED certification for the project.
With regard to the high water table, he pointed out the opportunity to utilize the average 50 degree
temperature of Puget Sound for an in-ground heat exchange plant. He acknowledged the above goals
would require listening, cooperation and compromise from all parties. He was hopeful that through the
process Mr. Van Skike would describe, everyone’s wants would be fairly aired and whatever was
proposed would be viewed as the best possible development that reflected the collective efforts of the
public and the private interests.
Dave Van Skike, land use planner, GordonDeer (formerly Buck & Gordon), representing Gregg
Production Associates, the owner of the former Skippers site at 102 Main Street, explained they intended
to develop the property in conjunction with the Washington State Department of Transportation
(WSDOT) lot via a public-private partnership. He explained their proposal was a unique development
Packet Page 451 of 466

Page 16
process, gathering information about what would work on the site. The process includes a view corridor
study, recognizing that views are a key issue. He noted the existing zone allowed lot line-to-lot line
development and three floors which they felt was not necessarily in sync with the Comprehensive Plan or
offered the opportunities that Edmonds deserved to see built on the site. Other objectives include an
energy efficient design and LEED certification, development with a mix of uses at the street level,
throughout the building, setbacks at the ground level to accommodate view corridors, and human scale.
Although there were constraints, along with those constraints come huge opportunities for creating
connections between downtown and the waterfront, connections to the park, connections to rail,
opportunities for transit oriented development, and opportunities for structured parking instead of surface
parking. He noted the constraints would require taller buildings; the existing BC zone allows 2½ - 3
floors and although a nice project could be constructed under the existing heights, they feel it would be a
missed opportunity. He emphasized they would not shy away from increased heights and planned to
develop the site with sensitivity as well as set a very high standard for future development. Their process
would provide the City an opportunity to take an incremental approach to the Master Plan.
Mr. Van Skike reviewed the 102 Main Street Design and Land Use process flowchart for the pre-
application and application stages. He explained the process was initiated with a meeting on March 10 to
get public input on views; the result of that input would be a viewshed analysis. He identified tonight’s
presentation to the Council and the April 1 opportunity for public comment at the Council. Next they
anticipated another public meeting that they would initiate to present the view corridor study and ideas for
moving forward. They planned to present early project alternatives to the ADB for additional feedback
and develop a zone with a menu of options to achieve ground level public, open space, connectivity,
parking, etc. to balance public benefit with additional height or additional development potential.
Following presentation to the ADB, they would need to make decisions regarding the zone and project.
Another public meeting would follow where they would present the project and proceed to the application
process. He briefly reviewed the City’s application process.
Mr. Van Skike acknowledged this was an ambitious plan and they hoped to have the process completed
by the end of 2008. He summarized it was in everyone’s best interest to proceed quickly and get as much
public input as possible.
Mr. Clifton advised the public would have an opportunity to comment at the Council’s April 1 meeting.
He encouraged anyone with information they wanted displayed at the meeting to send it to him before the
meeting at Clifton@ci.edmonds.wa.us and/or call him at 425-771-0251.
Councilmember Dawson thanked staff and Mr. Hinshaw for their presentations. On behalf of the
Council, she apologized to everyone who had waited until 10:15 p.m., hoping to get a presentation about
what was planned for these properties which was not provided although that was the Council’s intent.
With regard to Mr. Gregg’s plans for a private-public partnership with WSDOT, she noted WSDOT
denied any knowledge about a partnership. She asked whether there had been any contact with WSDOT
and the nature of that partnership. Mr. Gregg referred to Councilmember Dawson’s apology to the
audience, hoping she was not apologizing on their behalf, commenting if they had come to the meeting
without a plan to take input they would be the ones apologizing. He emphasized this process was
different than any other project he developed; he generally purchased a site, proposed what he wanted to
build and built it within the City’s guidelines. Councilmember Dawson commented he must have some
concept in mind. Although she appreciated his plans to seek additional public input, she found tonight a
wasted opportunity to share with the public some idea of what he was actually considering. Mr. Gregg
disagreed, assuring the architect had not been allowed to draw anything yet. This was a refreshingly
different approach to development of a critical property that would change Edmonds for the next 50
years.
Packet Page 452 of 466
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
March 25, 2008
Page 17
Councilmember Dawson noted if there were no plans, the audience could have been informed of that
ahead of time and not wait through all the presentations. She reiterated her question about the partnership
with WSDOT. Mr. Gregg answered it was a negotiation in real property that would become a public
process at some point but there were competitors who were also interested in a partnership with WSDOT.
He offered to share more specifics with the Council during Executive Session. Councilmember Dawson
asked if he had been in contact with WSDOT and were in negotiations with them. Mr. Gregg answered
absolutely. City Attorney Scott Snyder advised there were no Executive Session exemptions that would
cover Mr. Gregg’s situation; any information he provided would need to be in a public meeting. He noted
there were two Executive Session exemptions with regard to real property, 1) setting the price for the sale
of public property and 2) setting a purchase price; neither would apply in this case. He noted Mr. Gregg
talking to each Councilmember individually could create a similar problem.
COUNCILMEMBER WAMBOLT MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER DAWSON, TO
EXTEND THE MEETING UNTIL 10:30 P.M. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Councilmember Bernheim pointed out additional aspects of the Comprehensive Plan that needed to be
considered:
• Page 3 - the role of the commercial and industrial enterprises should be considered as supporting
the residential nature of the community.
• Page 3 - growth or development should strive to protect for itself and its neighbors light, privacy,
and use of open space.
• Page 31 - plans for joint public-private development of the area between SR104 and the railroad
tracks could potentially include property acquisition.
• Page 35 E5, E6, and E14 - reinforce the pedestrian nature and scale of development that takes
place in this area.
• Page 40 - specific mention of a height limit in the design guidelines.
Councilmember Bernheim thanked Mr. Gregg and his consultant for their statement that they were not
shying away from heights, for their plans for an open process, and for their goal of a unanimous decision.
Despite some people’s disappointment regarding what they expected to see tonight, he felt Mr. Gregg’s
exploration of an open process was valuable. He commented on his experience with LEED certification,
noting it was incredibly difficult to achieve and starting with that goal would allow a great deal of creative
potential in the project. He was excited about Mr. Gregg’s proposal for an open process, noting it
contrasted sharply with the initial plan to present three alternatives to the public.
Councilmember Bernheim suggested the City talk with WSDOT about purchasing their property. Mayor
Haakenson advised staff could pursue discussions with WSDOT regarding their property if directed to do
so by at least four Councilmembers.
Councilmember Wilson shared the concern and frustration voiced by Councilmember Dawson although
he agreed with Councilmember Bernheim that Mr. Gregg’s proposal for public input was a great first
step. He expressed appreciation for Mr. Gregg’s ambition to obtain a unanimous Council vote, asking
how many times he anticipated going through the process before reaching a solution that resulted in a
unanimous vote. Mr. Gregg answered once, noting it would not be presented to the Council until it was
in an approvable form. Councilmember Wilson envisioned Mr. Gregg would need to go through the
process more than once to gain approval. He asked about the principles that guided the process,
specifically why he wanted to develop a LEED certified building and whether he viewed this as a legacy
project. Mr. Gregg answered he had been focused on the LEED certification for 14 weeks beginning with
a lecture from an architect on LEED, climate change, and energy efficiency. He observed regardless of
whether global warming exists, it cannot be good put toxins into the air and water. He supported the
Packet Page 453 of 466
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
March 25, 2008
Page 18
objectives of using less energy, using energy more efficiently, and polluting less, noting there was a
populous that was also interested in those items. After attending three additional seminars, he realized
there were exiting things that could be accomplished such as a platinum LEED building. He advised they
were considering providing an electric vehicle plug-in for each condominium unit and possibly providing
an electric car with each unit. He concluded he was not constructing this as a legacy project but it was an
exciting opportunity.
COUNCILMEMBER WAMBOLT MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WILSON, TO
EXTEND THE MEETING UNTIL MIDNIGHT. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Councilmember Wilson invited Mr. Dykes to describe the principles that guided his vision for the
development of the Antique Mall property. Al Dykes advised the public process began with property
owners meeting and evolved into numerous public meetings in which the input was distilled into four
designs. He pointed out the architect’s designs were not influenced by the committee members; the only
caveat was that they be economically viable. He pointed out the concept that was closest to the existing
code was determined to be the most profitable to develop. The other concepts, which provided an
increasing amount of public space, were less profitable for the developer. He noted plan 4, the plan he
favored, provided the least economic profit to a developer. Although many believe developers are only
interested in the dollars, the property owners recognized this as a unique site that offered a unique
opportunity to the City and the community and he would be very disappointed if that opportunity was
never realized. He was amenable to forfeiting 30% of his profit to achieve a signature development.
Councilmember Wilson asked why the WG33 process broke down and none of the three property owners
were making a proposal to the City as a result of that process. Mr. Dykes answered it was a lack of
communication. He referred to the disappointment expressed by Councilmember Dawson that the
property owners did not have plans to display, commenting he did not recall receiving a phone call from
any Councilmember asking whether he was far enough along in the process to have plans to display. He
noted if there was anyone to blame, it was whoever planned this presentation at this stage as it was
premature.
Councilmember Wilson asked why the WG33 process did not produce a continued collaborative joint
approach between the three property owners. Mr. Dykes responded that process had neither failed nor
stopped; it was very successful in incorporating input into four different options. He noted that process
had more citizen input than any other process he was aware of and nearly all the members voted in favor
of option 4. He was in the process of developing a plan that would proceed through the City process; it
was being fast tracked and he planned to have a decision on his project by the end of 2008.
Mr. Faires commented the WG33 process did what it was supposed to do; their goal was to begin the
public discussion via presenting alternatives to the public. The process stopped because of differences in
individual property owners’ timing; one of the property owners wants to go yesterday, one wants to go
tomorrow and another wants to go in ten years. He noted the process also stopped due to the alternate
ideas/approaches posed by the community, many of which were not practical. He acknowledged there
were members of the community who did not want anything to happen on the site, an option he did not
feel was in the best interest of the present or future community. He concluded the process did what it was
supposed to do - it began the public discussion and took it to an end point. It was the Council’s
responsibility to pull the process back together.
Councilmember Wilson: I’m going to pass so that other Councilmembers can ask questions but I do want
to take the opportunity after that to express my vision to you all while we have you in the room about
what should be down there. Before and since the other four parcels that were developed in the Work
Group of 33, there were only two I believe that had any support in a vote for 6 to 8 stories, and then 6 to
Packet Page 454 of 466

10 stories. In my view as a participant of that, I think both of those proposals would be dead on arrival in
a public process. So I want to make sure that my vision is conveyed so that you don’t plan a ten story
building which would not, just wouldn’t get us anywhere. So, with that I will pass until later.
Councilmember Wambolt clarified the reason Mayor Haakenson requested the public hold their
comments until next week was to avoid bringing that discussion into this meeting.
With regard to Councilmember Bernheim’s comment regarding staff contacting WSDOT about their
property, Mr. Snyder advised WSDOT was not offering the property for sale but had indicated its interest
in a partnership due to their entrepreneurial plans and desire to retain an ownership interest for the long
term use of the property should the relocation of the ferry terminal not occur. Councilmember Bernheim
clarified he was not inquiring solely about the sale of the property, he was inquiring about development of
the property by WSDOT in partnership with the private property owners without the City participating or
communicating its desire to WSDOT. He suggested the City’s negotiator contact WSDOT to express the
City’s interest in working with WSDOT as the primary contact rather than WSDOT working with the
private property owners.
As Councilmember Wilson began to describe his vision, Mr. Snyder cautioned him the Council had
adopted a vision - the Comprehensive Plan. He cautioned Councilmember Wilson if he was too specific,
he could be charged with pre-judgmental bias for any future project. Councilmember Wilson asked if he
could reiterate what he said during his campaign. Mr. Snyder answered what Councilmember Wilson
said during his campaign was not subject to the Appearance of Fairness Doctrine but there was a separate
challenge for pre-judgmental bias; if Councilmember Wilson described things he would not vote for, he
ran the risk of not being able to vote.
Councilmember Wilson asked how citizens via their elected body could contribute to this conversation
about vision, not withstanding the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Snyder advised a Councilmember normally
described their decision after a public hearing or during the course of a public process; Councilmember
Wilson ran the risk of getting ahead of the process. Councilmember Wilson commented this was of such
importance it was worth the risk. He commented the setbacks as noted by Mr. Hinshaw were critical, and
lot line-to-lot line development did not provide opportunity for setbacks. He favored setbacks that
allowed for pedestrian walkways, fountains, café seating, etc. He commented development of these
properties had a tremendous opportunity to set the standard for building throughout the City, Snohomish
County and throughout suburban development in the United States. A platinum building that could be
used as a tool for public education would be a tremendous asset to the community.
Mayor Haakenson thanked the approximately 120 people who attended tonight’s meeting. He advised on
April 1 at 7:00 p.m. the Council would hold a public hearing about what the public heard tonight, what
they would like to see as part of the development, etc.
8. COUNCIL REPORTS ON OUTSIDE COMMITTEE/BOARD MEETINGS.
Council President Plunkett reported with the sale of the Bettinger–Kretzler house, the Historic
Preservation Commission and the Snohomish County Historical Society was discussing relocation of the
home. The Commission reached no conclusion other than a desire to publicize the matter and seek ways
to preserve the home. Mayor Haakenson advised the Edmonds Beacon would have an article regarding
that house this week. He called the homeowner today to put them in touch with someone who may have a
site for the home.

Transit on I-5. Sound Transit also provided an update; they are considering a fall 2008 vote; however, a
presentation by Joni Earl, CEO, Sound Transit, at a subsequent Cities and Towns meeting indicated there
was less interest in proceeding with a 2008 vote. She noted Sound Transit had scaled back their plans and
light rail would end at Northgate. She remarked Sound Transit needed to provide something to entice
Snohomish County voters to approve future plans.
Councilmember Dawson provided a further update on Sound Transit, advising there was a split on the
Board regarding a 2008 versus 2010 vote. She explained the three Snohomish County members felt
strongly that more work was necessary, particularly to develop a package that would be viable for the
Snohomish County subarea. An update would be provided to the Sound Transit Board on March 27
regarding what the package for a 2008 vote could look like and the Board would vote on April 10 whether
to go to a vote in 2008. She reiterated the Snohomish County members felt it was best not to move
forward with a 2008 vote.
Councilmember Wilson advised the Lake Ballinger work group, comprised of five cities, was meeting on
March 26. He asked that the Council formally appoint him to that work group.
Councilmember Orvis advised he attended two Health District meetings, the first a Finance Committee
meeting where the replacement of the Health District’s fleet with hybrid cars was approved. At the
Health District’s regular meeting, Health Officer Gary Goldbaum made a presentation regarding the
District’s priorities including the highest priority, disease prevention. Councilmember Orvis reported he
also accompanied an outreach worker on a tuberculosis DOT run. He explained anyone who contracted
tuberculosis did not just receive a bottle of pills with instructions; the Health District personally
administered the pills to ensure the person did not develop a drug resistant strain and to observe any
medication side affects.
9. MAYOR'S COMMENTS
Mayor Haakenson advised next week he would be leading a delegation of 20 Edmonds residents to
Hekinan, Japan. It was the 20th anniversary of the Sister City relationship and Hekinan’s 60th anniversary.
In honor of Hekinan’s anniversary, Dale Chihuly donated a glass sculpture for the City to present to
Hekinan. He thanked those who had the foresight 20 years ago to create the Sister City relationship with
Hekinan, an amazing cultural exchange for both cities.
10. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Council President Plunkett thanked staff for their excellent presentations and asked Mayor Haakenson to
convey his appreciation to the staff members who were no longer present at the meeting. He thanked the
property owners for their presentations, noting he had not expected much more than what they presented.
He also thanked the members of the public who attended tonight’s meeting.
Councilmember Olson recognized the Parks & Recreation staff for the great job they did on the Easter
egg hunt which she attended with her granddaughter. She asked whether Councilmembers were
interested in extending an invitation to Stevens Hospital’s CEO to make a presentation regarding their
plans. Mayor Haakenson advised the CEO had agreed to come and would be scheduled on a future
meeting agenda.
Councilmember Wambolt provided an update on Real Estate Excise Tax (REET), advising figures from
the City’s Finance Department indicated the City had collected approximately $1.4 million in REET2 for
each of the last three years. This year, after three months, the City was 47.2% below the same three
month period a year ago. When projected out for the year, the forecast was $896,000, an amount

Councilmember Wambolt believed was unattainable. He concluded REET revenues had not leveled out
and continuing to decline; he did not anticipate 2008 would be a good year for REET.
Councilmember Dawson thanked everyone who attended tonight’s meeting, commenting it was a
testament to the community that this many people attended and stayed this late.
Councilmember Wilson echoed Councilmember Dawson’s thanks to the community, recalling Ms.
Bloom’s comment that it was potentially historic.
Councilmember Orvis thanked everyone for coming.

Focus on Rainwater Gollection and
Water Right Perm¡tt¡ng
Increasing numbers of people around Washington State are considering the use of rainwater to
meet some of their water needs. This has raised questions about whether a water right permit is
required to collect and use rainwater.
Rainwater is a water resource of the State
State law defines water resources as "all water above, upon, or beneath the surface of the earth,
located within the state." (RCW 43.27A.020) Rainwater is therefore legally considered a water
resource of the State.
The Department of Ecology (Ecology) is responsible for managing the State's water and
recognizes that rainwater collection has many benefits. Regulating the use of small amounts of
rainwater was probably not the intention of the statute when it was drafted. Unfortunately,
clariffing legislation on this matter was unsuccessful in the 2006 Legislature as well as the past
five legislative sessions.
Rainwater collection systems
The difficulty in defining the permitting requirements for rainwater collection lies in
differentiating between the systems that cause little, if any, impact and those that cause
impairment to other water right holders or the environment. The department does not require
permits for systems using de minimus (negligible) amounts of rainwater (e.9., residential rain
barrels or ornamental pond kits storing a few hundred gallons).
If not managed, large systems or a significant number of smaller systems could potentially
impact existing water rights or harm the environment either nolv or in the future. Rainwater
collection could potentially cause impairment by taking water that would otherwise flow into
freshwater streams or aquifers supplying other water right holders and fish. The impact of
rainwater collection systems can depend on their size, location, and the number of systems in a
particular area.
Benefits of rainwater collection
Rainwater collection is valued for its many benefits, such as:
o reducing polluted runoff,
o providing an alternative to fresh water supplies for non-potable uses like inigation and
toilet flushing,
o reducing the impact on over-used ground and surface water sources, and. managing stormwater (stormwater management practices do not require a water right
permit when there is no consumptive use of water involved).
Ecology recognizes that many uses of rainwater are consistent with good water management.
Until clariffing legislation is passed, Ecology will continue to balance its support of the benefits
of rain collection and use with its responsibility to respond to complaints of potential impairment
and to avoid future impairment when possible.

Stormwater Engineering Professional Services Agreement
Edmonds City Council Meeting
Date:04/15/2008
Submitted By:Dave Gebert Time:20 Minutes
Department:Engineering Type:Action
Review Committee:Finance
Action:Recommend Review by Full Council
Information
Subject Title
Stormwater Engineering Professional Services Agreement.
Recommendation from Mayor and Staff
Council authorize Staff to negotiate a Professional Services Agreement with Brown and Caldwell to
provide interim stormwater engineering services.
Previous Council Action
Finance Committee reviewed this item on April 8, 2008 and forwarded it to the full Council for
consideration.
Narrative
The City Stormwater Engineer resigned in January 2008. We have been recruiting unsuccessfully
since then to fill the position. Without a Stormwater Engineer, the Assistant City Engineer, Don
Fiene, has been performing the most urgent and essential duties of the Stormwater Engineer.
Mr. Fiene has now resigned, effective April 18, 2008, to accept a position with Brown and
Caldwell, a professional engineering consulting firm. With Don’s departure, the City has no
qualified Stormwater Engineer on staff. Of particular concern is that we presently have no
in-house expertise to perform stormwater reviews of private development permit applications and to
respond to citizen and developer questions and concerns regarding development requirements
pertaining to stormwater issues.
Therefore, the City has an urgent need to hire an engineering consultant to provide interim
stormwater engineering services for a short term period, estimated to be approximately 3 to 6
months, until we can fill the vacant Stormwater Engineer position. It is estimated that these
services will be required approximately 16 hours per week to perform recurring stormwater
requirements until the City Stormwater Engineer position can be filled. During this time, only the
bare essential, most urgent and time-sensitive stormwater requirements will be performed. Capital
project designs and other, less urgent tasks will be deferred.
Following established City procedures for selecting engineering consultants, a selection panel was
appointed and selected Brown and Caldwell. With Don Fiene on their staff, Brown and Caldwell is
clearly the best qualified and, realistically, the only firm qualified to immediately step in and be
sufficiently knowledgeable of City codes, engineering standards and development procedures and
requirements to meet our needs without a steep learning curve to overcome. It is anticipated that,

requirements to meet our needs without a steep learning curve to overcome. It is anticipated that,
initially, Don Fiene would be the Brown and Caldwell engineer to provide the needed stormwater
engineering services. However, within a reasonable period of time (several weeks), it is expected
that Brown and Caldwell will be able to provide much of the needed services by other engineers on
their staff, with guidance from Don Fiene.
This arrangement for Don Fiene to provide interim stormwater engineering services to the City in
his new capacity with Brown and Caldwell has been reviewed by the City Attorney for potential
conflict of interest. The City Attorney advises that no State statute prohibits a city from contracting
with a professional services firm which employs a former city employee. However, Staff is aware
of Council’s concerns regarding the appearance of conflict or impropriety.
Staff has considered other options to provide interim stormwater engineering services, including
temporary employment agencies, other engineering consultants with existing City on-call contracts,
and hiring a qualified engineering firm other than Brown and Caldwell. Staff has concluded that
hiring Brown and Caldwell is the only realistic option to immediately maintain the necessary
continuity in providing the essential stormwater engineering without a major learning curve to
overcome and the associated degradation of responsiveness to developers and citizens of Edmonds
Edmonds.
Staff recommends negotiation of a professional services agreement with Brown and Caldwell. If
Council concurs, Staff will proceed with preparation of a contract to present to the Council for
approval.

Community Service/Development Services Committee Meeting
April 8, 2008
Elected Officials Present: Staff Present:
Peggy Pritchard Olson, Committee Chair Rob Chave, Planning Manager
D.J. Wilson, Committee Member Noel Miller, Public Works Director
Committee Chair Olson convened the meeting at 6:00 P.M.
A. Proposed Resolution of environmental policy and principles.
Committee member Wilson summarized that the current draft incorporates ideas from various
parties and should be considered to be a “work in progress.” However, the draft is a good start
and its main purpose of raising awareness of environmental policy issues has been largely
achieved. The Committee concluded that Council adoption of the policy would provide a good
indication of the Council’s current direction, and would provide valuable guidance and support to
the Mayor’s U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Committee and the Planning Board as they
continue their work on putting together the broader policy documents – such as comprehensive
plan amendments that would be coming before Council prior to year’s end. The Committee
agreed to add a section emphasizing the ongoing, “working” status of the policy document, and
the expectation that it would be revisited over time.
ACTION: Recommend adoption of the draft resolution by the full City Council.
B. Discuss process for a potential bond / levy related to purchase of a portion of the
three parcels known as the Downtown Master Plan Area – Waterfront Antique Mall,
Harbor Square and Skippers properties.
Committee Chair Olson announced that the Committee would not be discussing this item this
evening. Council understood that staff would require at least 6-7 weeks to prepare information
on this subject for the Committee to consider. Staff should consult with Committee members if
there is any question about what should be included in the information developed for Committee
consideration. This item will be rescheduled once the subject is ready to be discussed.
ACTION: None required at this time.
C. Draft Resolution establishing the City of Edmonds Sustainable Building
Policy.
Rob Chave and Noel Miller introduced the subject, indicating that this was recommended to the
Council by the Mayor’s U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Committee. The draft was modeled in
part after an example from the City of Seattle. In Edmonds’ case, the only City project of
Packet Page 462 of 466

significance in the near term is the City Park Maintenance Facility, so the policy may not have a
large impact on City building projects right away. However, that is why the proposed policy also
emphasizes the importance of attempting to apply sustainable principles to minor remodels and
improvements that don’t exceed the mandatory LEED thresholds. Staff views this as a
reinforcement of methods and practices that are already in effect, but formalizes them as an
example of what can be accomplished in this field. It was also noted that a national cost/benefit
study concluded that the minor incremental cost (~2%) of achieving LEED Silver certification for
City projects would more than pay for itself in reduced energy costs within a relatively short
time. Adopting the resolution and sustainable building policy would add to the climate
resolutions already adopted by the City Council and help establish Edmonds’ leadership
position in this area. The Committee noted that it would be a good idea to schedule – separately
– an update on actions the City has been taking to address climate-related concerns, similar to
the updates that have previously been made on this subject. Staff agreed that such an update
would be scheduled before full Council in the near future.
ACTION: Recommend adoption of the draft resolution and policy by the full City Council.
D. Draft Resolution joining the Cascade Agenda Cities Program.
Rob Chave introduced this item. Mr. Chave attended an orientation meeting by the Cascade
Agenda Cities Program staff, and felt that the program offered an opportunity for Edmonds to
join other jurisdictions in supporting the Cascade Agenda’s efforts to preserve regional open
space while also encouraging city efforts to make urban areas as desirable and livable as
possible. The two goals go hand-in-hand, and the Cascade Agenda has come to realize that it
can help achieve it’s open space mission by also supporting the enhancement of existing
communities. It does not cost the City anything to join the Cascade Agenda Cities Program, and
the benefits include the potential to share “best practices” and ideas with the Cascade Agenda
and member cities, and obtain the Cascade Agenda’s support and knowledge as needed. In
order to join, Edmonds has to pass a resolution supporting the Cascade Agenda Cities Program
and designate a staff liaison, which would be Mr. Chave. The Committee agreed that this would
be a good program to join, and would be a good way to partner with other jurisdictions and the
knowledge embodied in the partners that are already part of the Cascade Agenda.
ACTION: Recommend adoption of the draft resolution by the full City Council.
The meeting was adjourned at approximately 6:45 P.M.

Committee Chair Wambolt called the meeting to order at 6:00 PM.
Item A: First Quarter Budget Amendment
The Finance Committee reviewed a staff report discussing first quarter, 2008 budget
amendments. It was the Committee’s consensus to forward to the full Council for their
approval.
As an information item, staff noted that sales tax receipts are marginally down for the
first quarter, and real estate excise taxes continue to slow. This will be discussed in
greater detail in up-coming quarterly budget reports.
Item C: Storm Water Engineering Contract
The Committee advanced Item C for discussion, as several individuals were interested in
this topic. The Finance Committee received a briefing about the proposed contract, and
the relationship that departing Assistant City Engineer Don Feine will play in the work to
be performed. Because of City staffing shortages the intent is to have Mr Feine initially
work on the contract for Brown and Caldwell, then have the work assigned to a more
junior engineer as soon as they come up to speed.
The Committee voted to forward this topic to the full Council as a discussion item
without a recommendation. Additionally, the Committee asked that a policy relating to
contracting with separating employees, or companies who hire recently separated
employees be brought back to the Committee for review.
Item B: City Hall First Floor Use
In final action, the Committee discussed a proposal to have retail activities located on the
first floor of City Hall, with revenue used for building maintenance. It was noted that IRS
has restrictions on the use of facilities financed with tax exempt bonds for “for profit”
uses. The Committee asked that a listing of City owned property, with potential surplus
property noted, be brought back to the Committee for review.

A. Review of 2008 Addendum to Prisoner Detention Agreement with City of
Lynnwood.
Chief Compaan discussed the 2008 Addendum to the Prisoner Detention Agreement between
the City of Edmonds and the City of Lynnwood. He explained the co-op transportation contract
to the board members and noted the existing contract has been on-going for several years and
is renewed on an annual basis. Further discussion was held.
Council Chair Dawson and Council member Bernheim recommended this item be placed on the
consent agenda for April 15, 2008.
Action: On April 8, 2008 the Public Safety Committee met. Council Chair Dawson and Council
member Bernheim recommended the “2008 Addendum to the Prisoner Detention Agreement
between the City of Edmonds and the City of Lynnwood” be placed on the Consent Agenda for
approval by full council and authorization for Mayors signature on April 15, 2008.
B. Discussion of proposed Ordinance requiring motorists to turn off polluting
vehicle engines while at rest for more than three minutes at a time.
Council member Bernheim asked that the “proposed Ordinance requiring motorists to turn off
polluting vehicle engines while at rest” be placed on the agenda. Discussion was held on the
enforcement aspect of this and the challenges it would present.
After further discussion it was decided that this should be an educational piece rather than an
Ordinance for enforcement.
Mr. Bernheim agreed to do the educational research on this topic and would bring back a report
to the Public Safety Committee at a date to be determined.
Action: On April 8, 2008 the Public Safety Committee met. Discussion was held on the
proposed Ordinance requiring motorists to turn off polluting vehicle engines while at rest.”
Council member Bernheim will do research on the educational aspect and will report back to
Public Safety Committee at a date to be determined.
Packet Page 465 of 466
C. Authorization for the Mayor to sign an Interagency Agreement between the
Washington State Patrol and the Edmonds Fire Department.
Chief Tomberg reviewed the information contained in the Public Safety Committee Agenda
Memo (AM-1489) and the attached interagency agreement prepared by the State Attorney
General’s Office and approved as to form by the City Attorney’s Office.
The five-year interagency agreement between the WSP and Edmonds Fire Department allows
the City/Fire Department to be reimbursed for allowable costs when Department assets are
mobilized in accordance with the Washington State Fire Resource Mobilization Plan to protect
life and property in response to a local or out-of-area emergency incident. Response is
voluntary.
Action: Fire Staff was directed to prepare a consent agenda item of the same title above for the
April 15, 2008 Council meeting with a Public Safety Committee recommendation to approve.
D. Red light cameras.
A survey agreement between ATS and the City of Edmonds was discussed by Assistant Police
Chief Gerry Gannon. It was noted that traffic safety was the reason for the cameras and he
briefed the board members on the associated costs for the survey contract.
Assistant Police Chief Gannon stated the department was interested in placing the cameras at
the intersections of 220th Street SW/Hwy 99, 100 Avenue W/Edmonds Way, and 220th Street
SW/7th. The department would be installing two approaches for each intersection.
Council Chair Dawson asked about the collision data for the intersections the department was
considering. Collision data was not available.
Council Chair Dawson and Council member Bernheim stated they had no objections to further
discussion on the issue of “Red Light Cameras” but wanted to review the collision data before
continuing.
Action: On April 8, 2008 the Public Safety Committee met. Discussion was held on the “Red
Light Cameras.” Council Chair Dawson and Council member Bernheim requested collision data
for the intersections noted with further discussion to be held at a date to be determined.
Meeting adjourned at 1843 hours
