01447Edmonds Planning Commission Meeting - 3/16/66 (Page 4)
Owners of the adjoining property in question said they didn't intend to dedicate addi-
tional right-of-way. Mr. Larson said additional right-of-way could be obtained by
moving property lines to west and still maintain lots of adequate size.
There followed a discussion of inadequacies of plat and application as presented.
iThe Planning Commission then took their regular 10-minute recess.
Upon reconvening, Mr. Bennett read the City Engineer's comments and recommendations
regarding the plat. Among other things, the letter pointed out that the proposed plat
conflicts with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, as the area is proposed as a City Park;
t at utilities o e area are efficient; specifically water mains, sewers and streets;
and that any action on the plat be held in -abeyance pending development of adequate
water main and sewer main plans for the area and street right-of-way plans, as Hindley
Lane, Sth Avenue and Melody Lane right-of-ways do not meet the City's standards of 50
feet for residential areas.
Mr. Larson, the applicant, stated that the right-of-way on 7th Ave. can be solved. He
felt that holding up development of property until utilities are sufficient is wrong.
If 7th Ave. No. were improved to 50' requirement and legal owner signed application,
the difficulties would be overcome. He asked if he came back in thirty days with these
two conditions met, would the proposed plat then be approved. Mr. Murphy said the
Planning Commission didn't have to answer this question. Mr. Leif Larson came in at
this point from another meeting, and commented that to sewer this particular piece of
as noted that a preliminary plat
land would require a pump installed by developer. It w
would not be denied-.
The proposed plat was withdrawn bx the applicant and no action was taken b the Planning
Commission. It warmined from t e ity Attorney that s oulS the preliminary.plat
e resu matted, an additional fee would be due.

By motion of the City Council, the Planning Commission had been requested to study the
area on the west side of Second Avenue from Bell to Edmonds to consider amending the
