AUDIENCE
Jim Hoon (no address given) presented a letter protesting the parking fees at the
ferry terminal. He said the letter had 133 signatures, 131 of whom commute daily and
park on both the Edmonds and Kingston sides of the Sound. He felt that ferry commuters
were being singled out to furnish the City with money on land donated by the Department
of Transportation, and that such was unfair. He felt the commuters would boycott the
lot and park on City streets. And he said the only alternative for the commuters is
to boycott the Edmonds merchants. He asked that the matter of charging to park in
that lot be reconsidered. He also was concerned that even though the cumnuters may

HEARING ON.DESIGN REVIEW OF-14-UNIT PRO LOCATED WEST OF 2ND AVE. S. AND NORTH OF
ELM=ST. = HARBOR PROPERTIES (PRD-1-80)
Associate Planner Duane Bowman showed slides of the site and described the proposal.
Two five -unit clusters and one 4-unit cluster were proposed. A stream cuts the
property almost in half and all development would be on the east side of the stream,
leaving the balance in natural open space. Visitor parking would be provided on the
site in addition to required parking for each unit. Dennis Mortensen, project
architect, of the firm of Olson Walker Associates, described the project in detail.
He noted that the general use of the word "condominium" has been erroneous, as it is
meant to be the way a site is divided and sold, but people use it to define a multiple
story, apartment complex. He noted that shared wall housing saves 40% in energy. He
discussed the City of Edmonds' PRO ordinance and felt this project met all aspects
except for the reference to historical structures. Mr. Mortensen stated that a
traditional subdivision could potentially get 19 units on the site, with 16 units
being more logical, but they felt that kind of development would be detrimental to
the property. He described the natural amenities of the site, including the stream
and natural plant growth, noting that it is environmentally sensitive and their
design had taken that into consideration. The units would be 1,400-2,000 sq. ft. and
