Suite 204 Telephone Water Resources An HDR Infrastructure 300 Admiral Way 206 774-1947 Wastewater Company Edmonds, Washington - Industrial 98020-4127 Hazardous Waste ; November 12, 1987 Mr. James M. Driscoll Hearing Examiner CITY OF EDMONDS 250 - 5th Avenue N. Edmonds, WA 98020 RE: City of Edmonds Secondary Wastewater Treatment Plant Dear Mr. Driscoll: The City of Edmonds plans to construct a secondary wastewater treatment plant at the intersection of Dayton Street and State Route 104. The site is occupied by the City's primary wastewater treatment plant and the Public Works Department's storage yard.` This letter transmits information to support the City's application for a conditional use permit and request for setback variances. It also attempts to clarify a few issues that may be of concern. ✓v/ Enclosed are three copies of the following documents: ✓✓✓ A. A color aerial photograph shows surrounding land uses. The plant �✓✓ site is located near the middle of the photograph at the southeast corner of Dayton Street and State Route 104. B. A topographic map of the existing site shows present ground elevations and existing facilities. C. A site plan shows how the secondary wastewater treatment plant will appear on the surface. D. A location plan defines the locations of all significant above grade and below grade structures and identifies setbacks from the property lines. E. A predesign report provides a detailed description of the function, design and aesthetic treatment of the treatment plant facilities. Differences Between Current Site Plan and Predesign Report Since completion of the Predesign Report, a few modifications have been made to the treatment plant design which are incorporated in the current site plan. ' The shape of the Operations Control Building has changed. This structure has also been moved about 30 feet to the south to provide better access between it and the Solids Process Building. James Driscoll Page -2- November 11, 1987 An access tunnel has been added along the west edge of the site between the aeration basin/primary clarifier structures and the property line. Electrical supply facilities have been added along the east edge of the site between the final clarifier and the property line. This creates a need to construct a barrier (security) wall along the east property line for approximately 105 feet. Architectural Treatment of Dayton Street Frontage A plaza area will be constructed along the street front on Dayton Street. The site plan shows the proposed concept for this area, however, this plan is still somewhat preliminary in nature. CWC-HDR is working closely with several groups including the Architectural Design Board, the Citizens Advisory Committee and the Edmonds Arts Commission to finalize plans for this area. These groups are also providing input on other architectural, landscaping and aesthetic issues associated with the plant. Landscaping Landscaping will vary across the plant. On the north end, formal flower landscaping will be incorporated into the plaza design. Along the east and west property lines, green slopes and plantings will be used along structures and the perimeter wall to soften the appearance of these facilities. On the south end of the site, plantings will be installed that provide. transition to the adjoining wetlands. This approach is consistent with the conditions set forth in the Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance. Building Heights The existing ground surface varies from elevation 13 to elevation 20. The mean elevation for the site is approximately elevation 16. Three structures, the Solids Process Building, the Blower Building and the Influent Pumping Station, will have a maximum elevation of 40 which is within the 25 foot height limit. The height of all other structures will be lower, as shown in the Predesign Report. Setbacks Construction of the Treatment Plant on the Dayton Street site requires maximum use of the available area. When laying the plant out, efforts were taken to maintain all facilities within the City's normal setback requirements. Unfortunately economic considerations, process design requirements and constraints of existing facilities made this impractical. Consequently, setback variances are requested along the north, east and west boundaries of the property. The requested setbacks are shown on the location plan. 0 t ��_�• ,._.,_.:.: r.........�.c.:.sle.t.,u...n.s.............�s.v.,.i::...,kc,n+_....::ti.,..Ks�::v,.Li:1y...,,.....`�.,:..'.....�,,....:riu.M..a.,�.....,......_., c...., James Driscoll November 11, 1987 Page -3- All facilities on the south end of the plant are located more than 35 feet from the edge of the wetlands as stipulated in the Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance.

STAFF FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS: A. Description of the Subject Property and Surrounding Area The City of Edmonds is seeking a conditional use permit and variances to allow for the construction of a new secondary sewage treatment plant on the southeast corner of the intersection of SR 104 and Dayton Street. The site is the current location of the Edmonds sewage treatment Plant. The subject property is relatively level. It is bounded by 2nd Ave. S. on the east; Dayton Street to the north; and SR 104 to the west. The area to the south is undeveloped. The existing site conditions are shown on Exhibit 4. The proposed improvements are shown on Exhibit 5. The requested setback variances are depicted on Exhibit 6. Surrounding development is commercial to the west and north. The City Public Works building is located to east, across 2nd Ave. S. To the southeast, there is multifamily development. As noted above, the land immediately to the south is undeveloped. B.

Conformance to Chapters 20.05.010 & 20.85.010 1. Special Circumstances Special circumstances do appear to exist in this particular case. There is limited space to build all the required improvements for the treatment plant. The proposed plan allows for passive recreation on the site with the development of a pedestrian park along Dayton Street. Further, all structures on the site with meet the building height limitation of 25 feet. 2. Special Privilege The proposed setback variances do not appear to represent a grant of special privilege. This is a significant public structure that has been designed to blend into the neighborhood. 3. Comprehensive Plan The Comprehensive Policy Plan map designates the subject property as High Density Residential. The proposed conditional use permit and setback variances do not appear to conflict with the purposes of the Comprehensive Plan as listed in Chapter 15.20.030 of the ECDC. 4. Zoninq Ordinance The subject property is zoned BN/Public Use. The surrounding area is zoned: North - BC South - BN West - CG (Contract) East - Public Use/ RM-2.4 The proposed conditional use permit and setback variances do not appear to conflict with the purposes of the zoning ordinance or the BN/Public Use zone districts. 5. Not Detrimental a i Staff Report Page 3 V-27-87 The proposed conditional use permit and setback variances do not appear to pose any significant impact to the public or to any nearby private property or improvement. The treatment plant has been designed to be visually sensitive to the neighborhood. A declaration of nonsignificance has been issued on the project. 6. Minimum Variance In order to provide all the required improvements on the site, the requested setback variances do appear to represent a minimum variance request. 7. Transferability The conditional use permit should not be transferable. V. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The City is required by both the State and Federal governments to build this secondary sewage treatment plant. The plant is needed to help implement cleaning up pollution in Puget Sound. It has been designed to be both functional and aesthetically sensitive to the surrounding properties. Staff recommends that the CU-68-87 and V-33-87 be approved the setback variances, subject to the following conditions: 1. Comply with all mitigating conditions listed in the Mitigated Declaration of Nonsignificance (Exhibit 7). 2. Comply with all Architectural Design Board requirements. a K.. ■ CITY OF EDMONDS LARRY S.

FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The Applicant has requested approval of a conditional use permit for the operation of a secondary sewage treatment plant at 100 Dayton Street, Edmonds, Washington. In addition, the Applicant has requested variances to reduce the required street setbacks at the proposed secondary sewage treatment plant. The requested setbacks include: a reduction from the 25-foot required street setback to 0 feet on 2nd Avenue South, 4.8 feet on Dayton Street, and, .8 feet on State Route (SR) 104. (Staff report.) 2. The subject property is the site of the current Edmonds Sewage Treatment Plant. It is the intent of the Applicant to expand this facility in order to be in compliance with an order from the Washington Department of Ecology that the City provide secondary treatment of waste water by April, 1991. The facility will serve Edmonds and all, or part, of Mountlake Terrace, Olympic View Water District, Ronald Sewer District, Woodway and Lynnwood. (Willey testimony.) 3. Should the City fail to award a contract by October 1988 for the secondary sewer treatment plant, it could be subject to fines and a building moratorium could be imposed for the areas serviced by the plant. (Alberts testimony.) 4. The site for the sewage treatment plant was chosen in 1979. In 1986 an engineering report on the proposed secondary sewage treatment facility was finalized. The report was eventually adopted by the City Council of the City of Edmonds. (Alberts testimony.) 5. Admitted at the hearing as Exhibit 6 and attached hereto and incorporated as part of these findings is a location and setback plan of the proposed sewage treatment plant. All the buildings and structures to be developed on site are shown in Exhibit 6. (Exhibit 6.) 6. The wastewater treatment plant will have the following buildings and structures: January 8, 1988 Page 2 i HEARING EXAMINER'S if ;OMMENDATIO,N ,RE: CU-68-87 & V-33-87 a. An operations control building which will be a one-story structure located at the southern portion of the site; b. A solids process building where sludge residue will be removed; C. A new primary clarifier which will be constructed immediately west of the existing primary clarifiers. (Primary clarifiers are basins for the sludge); d. A raw sludge pumping station; e. An influent pumping station where waste water will be pumped into the site; f. Aeration basins used for biological treatment of the sewage; g. A blower building located immediately north of the aeration building. The blower building will have mechanical equipment which will feed air into the biological treatment conducted in the aeration basin; h. Three final clarifiers which will be used for the final settling process; and i. Effluent pumping station which will pump the treated water from the site. (Exhibit 6.) 7. The subject property is zoned BN/Public Use. The Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) 16.45.010(C)(2) require community facilities such as the proposed secondary sewage treatment plant to be developed with a conditional use permit. (ECDC.) B. ECDC 20.05.010 sets forth the criteria that must be satisfied in order for a conditional use permit to be issued within the City of Edmonds. These criteria include: A. The proposed use must be consistent with the Comprehen- sive Plan of the City of Edmonds; B. The proposed use in its location must be consistent with the purposes of the zoning ordinance in which the pro- perty is located; and, C. The proposed use must not be significantly detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, nor injurious to nearby private properties or improvements. (ECDC.)

The Comprehensive Policy Plan Map designates the subject property as High Density Residential. (ECDC.) 10. The subject property is level. It is bounded on the east by 2nd Avenue South, to the north by Dayton Street and to the west by SR 104. The area to the south is undeveloped marsh lands. (Staff report.) 11. The subject property currently has a waste water treatment facility on site. In addition, the southern portion of the site is used for storage of City of Edmonds Public Works Department equipment. This portion of the site would be developed into the operations control building and the solids process building. (Exhibit 4.) 12. The proposed secondary sewage treatment plant will not pose any significant impact to the public, nor to nearby private property or improvements. The City submitted that the plant has been designed to be visually sensitive to the neighborhood. A declaration of nonsignificance has been issued for the project. Further, there was no testimony in opposition to the granting of the conditional use permit. (Staff report and Bowman testimony.) 13. In order for a variance to be granted within the City of Edmonds the criteria as set forth in ECDC 20.85.010 must be satisfied. These criteria include: A. Because of special circumstances relating to the pro- perty, the strict enforcement of the zoning ordinance would deprive the owner of use rights and privileges permitted to other properties in the vicinity with the same zoning. B. The approval of the variance would not be a grant of special privilege to the property in comparison with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity with the same zoning. C. The approval of the variance will be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan of the City of Edmonds. D. The approval of the variance will be consistent with the purposes of the zoning ordinance and the zone district in which the property is located. E. The variance as approved or conditionally approved will not be significantly detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and same zone.

HEARING EXAMINER'S r'-COMMENDATION RE: CU-68-87 & V-3: ,7 F. The requested variance is the minimum necessary to allow the owner the rights enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity with the same zoning. (ECDC.) 14. The subject property is zoned BN/Public Use. There is no classification in the ECDC for a Public Use. Therefore, ECDC 17.00.020(D) applies to this application. This section sets forth that all lands not classified according to established district classifications on the Official zoning Map shall be classified as RS-12. ECDC 16.20.030 estab- lishes the minimum street setback for RS-12 zoned property as 25 feet. It is from this standard that the Applicant seeks a variance. 15. ECDC 17.00.030(C) requires that variances for public structures and uses be reviewed by the Hearing Examiner with a final recommendation to the Edmonds City Council. (ECDC.) 16. Special circumstances exist for the granting of a variance from the street setbacks. Because of economic considera- tions, process design regulations, and constraints of the existing facilities, a variance is warranted. (Willey testimony.) 17. It is the intent of the City to continue to use the existing clarifiers on site and incorporate them as part of the secondary treatment process. To replace the clarifiers would result in a $500,000 to a $1,000,000 expenditure on the part of the City. These are economic factors to be considered in the granting of a variance. (Willey testimony.) 18. Because of the location of the two existing clarifiers, all other treatment facilities need to be developed in a northerly direction. This results in a constraint on the City of their existing facilities and it requires a design that necessitates the granting of a variance in setbacks from the various streets. (Willey testimony.) 19. The State of Washington's guidelines require that the treatment facility must be a certain size in order to adequately handle sewage flow. In order to design a facility for that size, variances from the setbacks must be acquired. (Willey testimony.) 20. A proposed park will be located on the northern -most final clarifier. The park, a vest-pocket park, will be designed to blend in with the neighborhood and provide aesthetic relief to the site. (Willey testimony.) 21. The requested variance will not be detrimental to other properties or improvements. Although the variances are January 8, 1988 Page 5 HEARING EXAMINER'S RECOMMENDATION RE: CU-68-87 & V-33( 7 sought for the entire setbacks on the streets mentioned, only a few buildings will encroach within the setback standards of the BN zone. (Bowman testimony.) 22. The requested variance is the minimum necessary for the Applicant to adequately make the secondary treatment facility improvements. (Bowman testimony.) 23. The Planning Department of the City of Edmonds has recommended approval of the conditional use permit and the variance subject to the following conditions: 1. Comply with all mitigating conditions listed in the Mitigated Declaration of Nonsignificance (Exhibit 7). 2. Comply with all Architectural Design Board requirements. 24. The proposed operations control building will be between 45 feet and 50 feet from the marsh land immediately to the south. The construction of this building will not have an environmental impact on the marsh lands. (Willey testimony.) 25. No testimony from the public was presented at the hearing. CONCLUSIONS 1. The application is for the approval of a conditional use permit for the operation of a secondary sewage treatment plant at 100 Dayton Street, Edmonds, Washington. In addition, the Applicant has requested variances to reduce the required street setbacks at the proposed secondary sewage treatment plant. The requested setbacks include: a reduction from the 25-foot required street setback to 0 feet on 2nd Avenue South; 4.8 feet on Dayton Street; and, .8 feet on SR 104. (Staff report.) 2. The requested conditional use permit and the variance are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Map designation of the subject property as High Density Residential. In parti- cular the proposed facility will satisfy the goals and policies as set forth in ECDC 15.20.030. 3. The requested conditional use permit and the variance request are consistent with the purposes of the zoning ordinances of the City of Edmonds. Although there are no purposes specifically listed for BN/Public Use in the ECDC, the proposal is consistent with BN zones in that it will provide a service to the residents of the City of Edmonds and surrounding communities that is necessary for them. 4. The requested conditional use permit and the variance will not be detrimental to the public, nor to the health, safety and welfare of the public. It will not impact other private January 8, 1988 Page 6 9� HEARING EXAMINER'S RECOMCIENUATIUN RE: CU-68-87 & V-33( 7 l properties or improvements in the area. The facility is a public necessity that will be used for the treatment of sewage in the City of Edmonds for the eventual pollution control of the Puget Sound. 5. The conditional use permit should not be transferable. 6. The requested variances are the minimum necessary in order for the Applicant to develop the property in a manner that will satisfy State guidelines, utilize existing facilities, and minimize cost. RECOMMENDATION AND DECISION The requested conditional use permit for the allowance of a secondary sewage treatment plant at 100 Dayton Street, Edmonds, Washington, is granted subject to the following conditions: 1. The Applicant shall comply with all mitigating conditions listed in the Mitigated Declaration of Nonsignificance, which is attached hereto and by this reference hereby incorporated as part of this decision. 2. The Applicant shall comply with all Architectural Design Board requirements. 3. A conditional use permit is valid only if the City Council of the City of Edmonds approves the variance for a reduction in the street setbacks on 2nd Avenue South, Dayton Street, and SR 104. 4. The conditional use permit is not transferable. It is hereby recommended to the City Council of the City of Edmonds that the requested variances for the reduction of the 25- foot street setbacks to 0 feet on 2nd Avenue South; 4.8 feet on Dayton Street; and, .8 feet on SR 104 should be granted subject to the conditions as set forth above for the conditional use permit.

Site Plan FIRE PERSONNEL POLICE COMMITTEE MAYOR COMMENTS: EXPENDITURE AMOUNT APPROPRIATION REQUIRED: $0 BUDGETED: $0 REQUIRED: $0 HISTORY AND SUMMARY STATEMENT: The City of Edmonds selected the present site of our sewage treatment plant as the location for the new secondary sewage treatment plant. Due to the limited site area; the specific need for certain improvements at the plant; and, the fact that site has three street setbacks, it was necessary to apply for setback variances. The specific variance requests involve reducing the required street setbacks from Dayton Street, 2nd Avenue South, and SR104 to as little zero feet, instead of the maximum required 20 foot setback. On December 17, 1987, the Hearing Examiner held a public hearing on the variance request of the City of Edmonds to reduce the required street setbacks for the new Secondary Sewage Treatment Plant at 100 Dayton Street. No testimony was presented in opposition to the application. The Hearing Examiner issued his report on January 8, 1988 recommending approval of the setback variances, subject to the conditions listed in his report. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt the Hearing Examiner's findings and recommendation. SEWAGEM/COUNCIL 0 v It - i Councilmember Jaech recommended that the hearing be continued to a future date to allow the Coun- cil to review the evidence that was submitted that evening. She inquired if the Council could continue the hearing to a future date without closing the hearing. Mr. Snyder said there would be no requirement to republish the hearing if it was continued, without closing it, to a date cer- tain. Mr. Snyder noted that the entire file has been available in the Council office for Council review and will remain there until the new hearing date, if the Council chose to continue the hearing. Councilmember Jaech inquired if the Council could request that additional information be present- ed to them if the hearing was continued. Mr. Snyder replied affirmatively. He said, however, both parties must be given an opportunity to address any additional information. COUNCILMEMBER JAECH MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST, TO CONTINUE THE HEAPING TO FEBRU- ARY 16, 1988. Councilmember Dwyer inquired about the Council's position regarding issues to questions that arise that are not addressed in Chapter 20.10 Mr. Snyder said the development was subject to SEPA review and the Council, in making the underlying decision, must incorporate the SEPA factor as a part of 20.10.020, which refers to the fact that the development must be consistent with zoning ordinances and the Comprehensive Plan. He said if the Council feels that there is any significant environmental impact that has not been addressed by the mitigation measures, it could amend those measures or impose additional measures. MOTION CARRIED. Mr. Snyder inquired if the Council desired to allow the applicant to submit any references to any of the environmental documents that were already submitted. The Council replied affirmatively. Mr. Snyder suggested that a deadline for submittals be established. A February 11, 1988 deadline was established for submitting any additional information to the Council. SECOND HEARING ON PROPOSED SEWER RATE INCREASES Administrative Services Director Art Housler noted that the hearing was the last of the scheduled sewer rate hearings. He said the Council received an ordinance which is scheduled for adoption on February 16, 1988 to increase the rates on March 1, 1988. He said there have been numerous discussions regarding the issue and information is contained in the Facility Plan. Mayor Naughten opened the public portion of the hearing. No input was offered.

Due to the limited site area, the specific need for certain improvements at the plant, and the fact that the site has three street setbacks, it was necessary to apply for setback vari- ances. The specific variance requests involve reducing the required street setbacks from Dayton Street, 2nd Avenue South, and SR 104 to as little as zero feet instead of the maximum required 20 foot setback. Ms. Block said the Hearing Examiner held a public hearing on December 17, 1987 on the variance request of the City to reduce the required street setbacks. No testimony was presented in opposi- tion to the application. The Hearing Examiner issued his report on January 8, 1988 recommending approval of the setback variances, subject to the conditions listed in his report. Councilmember Hertrich inquired if a sidewalk could be constructed if the setback was reduced. Ms. Block replied affirmatively. She said the sidewalk will be located in the public right-of- way. Councilmember Hall requested clarification of item #17 of the Hearing Examiner's Findings of Fact: "It is the intent of the City to continue to use the existing clarifiers...". Community Services Director Peter Hahn said the City will use the existing clarifiers unless something unforeseen occurred. Councilmember Wilson inquired how the entire treatment plant will be screened by a buffer, as referenced in mitigation condition 0, with a zero setback. Ms. Block said screening will be provided in places where there is no facade. City Engineer Bob Alberts added that landscaping will be installed in the right-of-way.

PROPOSED ORDINANCE 2655 ESTABLISHING 1988 BUILDING PERMIT FEES f Community Services Director Peter Hahn reported that one year ago, the Council and Staff dis- cussed building permit revenues, expenditures, and fee levels. The Council adopted a policy, set in an ordinance, that fee levels should recover 100% of the actual costs for building permit activities. Those costs would not include other City costs such as management, City overhead, or attorney fees. The policy was to be phased in gradually. Mr. Hahn said the updated analysis indicates that recovery levels have fallen from the 1986 high level of 89% and were only 77% in 1987. He said those recovery levels are a result of Edmonds permit fees set at only 72% of the 1985 Uniform Building Code (UBC) levels. He noted that almost all other governmental agencies charge the full 1985 UBC fees. Mr. Hahn said it is recommended that the Council adopt a 1988 fee level set at 90% of the 1985 UBC fees. Councilmember Dwyer reiterated that he did not believe 100% recovery was necessary. He said the costs incurred are derived in the City's function to protect the public interest, as is police protection without recovering 100% of the costs. COUNCILMEMBER JAECH MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, TO ADOPT THE 1988 FEE LEVEL SET AT 90% OF THE 1985 UBC FEES. MOTION CARRIED.

Mayor Naughten announced that Fire Chief Jack Weinz has served the City for twenty-five years. Mayor Naughten noted that Ed Huntley's retirement party, held on January 29, was well attended and everyone had a good time. Mayor Naughten reported that the Highway 99 Economic Development Council met on January 29, 1988. Mayor Naughten said a liquor license was pending for the food service for the Washington State Ferry System and would be approved if no objection was noted. No objection was noted. Mayor Naughten said .the Edmonds Lions Club has requested that a sign of theirs be placed at the entrance to the City. Because an amendment to the Code would be necessary to install an off-prem- :yam ise sign, the Mayor suggested that the issue be forwarded to the Planning Board for review. Mayor Naughten said a free Crime Prevention seminar is scheduled on February 27, 1988. Mayor Naughten adjourned the meeting at 10 p.m. COUNCILMEMBER DWYER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL - MEMBER HALL, TO EXTEND THE MEETING TO 10:10 P.M. MOTION CARRIED.
