Re: Stadium
After due consideration of the evidence presented by the
Applicant, and evidence elicited during the public hearing the
following Findings of Fact and Conclusions constitute the basis
of the recommendation of the Hearing Examiner.
FINDINGS OF -FACT
1. The Applicant has requested approval of a variance
to allow construction of a stadium at 7600 - 212th Street
S.W., Edmonds, Washington. The requested variance is for
an exception to the 25-foot height standard for buildings
in the City of Edmonds. The Applicant requests approval of
a variance to construct a 53-foot high stadium and for the
allowance of four light poles to be located on the roof.
Each light pole will be 32 feet in height. (Staff report.)
2. The subject property is located on the southwest corner of
the intersection of 76th Avenue West and 212th Street S.W.
Located on site is an existing stadium and the Edmonds
Senior High School. (Staff report.)
3. The existing stadium was constructed in 1957. The stadium
is in need of substantial repair and it is the intent of
the Applicant to demolish the stadium and construct a new
one. (Bowman testimony and Staff report.)
4. The proposed stadium will seat 2,700 people. In addition,
the existing four light towers measuring 105 feet in height
will be replaced by the four light poles to be constructed
on top of the stadium roof. Parking will also be con-
structed as part of the development of the new stadium.
(Staff report and'Bowman testimony.)
5. The Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) 17.00.030(C)
requires all public structures built or altered by the City
or other public agency to comply with the zoning ordinances
of the City of Edmonds. Where it is a public necessity to
build, alter a structure or use in a location or in a
manner not complying with zoning ordinances a variance may
be considered. (ECDC.)
6. The Planning Department has indicated that the permitted
building height for public facilities such as the proposed
Hearing Examiners Recommendation
Re: V-21-87
stadium is 25 feet. The Applicant seeks a variance from
this standard. (Staff report.)
7. 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
property, 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.
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.)_
8. Because of the age of the existing stadium substantial
repairs are necessary. Because of the costs involved with
repair and the need for increased seating, the Applicant is
proposing a new stadium. The new stadium will provide
additional seating under cover, lower the light standards
on the east side of the playing field, create new and more
efficient parking for the facility and provide new and
improved locker room facilities. (Bowman testimony and
Staff report.)
9. The grant of the variance will not be the grant of a
special privilege. The facility will be used by at least
five high schools and will be used for seasonal sports and
recreational activities. The height will not be detri-
mental to other property owners in the area and will not
block views. (Bowman and Goetz testimonies.)

Re: V-21-87
10. The Comprehensive Policy Plan Map designates the subject
property.:.as Public Facilities. The Planning Department
submitted that the proposed variance does not conflict with
the purposes of the Comprehensive Plan. (Staff report.)
11. The representative of the Planning Department submitted
that the major impacts resulting from the development of
the facility will be traffic and noise. According to the
City, noise is a factor that will remain a problem on site.
Because of the specific use of the facility for sporting
and recreational events noise cannot be easily controlled.
(Bowman testimony.)
12. A traffic impact analysis for the development of the
stadium on site has been prepared and was admitted as
Exhibit 4 at the hearing. In the traffic analysis several
mitigating measures were identified for controlling traffic
during sporting and recreational events at the facility.
The City has recommended that the Applicant adhere to these
mitigating conditions. (Bowman testimony.)
13. The City submitted that parking has been a major problem at
the existing facility. According to the City, the Appli-
cant is working to resolve some of these parking problems
inal proposal for a solution to
with the new proposal. No f
parking problems has been made. (Bowman testimony.)
14. A witness (Mary Goetz) testified that she was on the City
Council at the time of the establishment of the ECDC. She
submitted that the concern of the Council at the time of
passage of the ECDC was with height of residences and the
maintenance of views. She submitted that this proposal
will not be detrimental to other property owners in the
area and that no views will be impacted. (Goetz
testimony.)
15. A witness (William Knutson) testified to be the owner of
property north of the proposed stadium. He testified in
support of.the proposal and indicated that the height of
the facility was not a problem. (Knutson testimony.)
16. The Planning Department of the City of Edmonds recommended
approval of the variance.subject to the following
conditions:
1. Comply with all Architectural Design Board
requirements.
2. Comply with all mitigating measures listed in the
traffic report prepared by Gibson Traffic Consultants
(Exhibit 4).
3. Comply with all SEPA requirements established for the
project.

Hearing Examiner' 'Recommendation
Re: V-21-87
CONCLUSIONS
1. .The application is for the approval of a variance to allow
a stadium to be constructed at 7600 - 212th Street S.W.,
Edmonds, Washington. The requested variance is for: the
allowance of a stadium to exceed the permitted building
height of 25 feet to a maximum height of 85 feet. Of
this 85 feet, 53 feet would be for the stadium roof and 32
feet would be for the light poles to be constructed on the
roof.
2. In order for a variance to be granted in the City of
Edmonds the criteria as set forth in ECDC 20.85.010 must be
satisfied. With conditions this application satisfies the.
criteria.
3. Special circumstances exist for the granting of a variance.
The facility is used for sporting and recreational activi-
ties of five high schools in the area. It is a unique use.
that requires upgraded facilities. The proposed facility
with the increased height will provide this exceptional
use.
4. The granting of a variance will not be the grant of a
special privilege. The facility will be a structure that
will be used for public activities.
5. The Comprehensive Plan of the City of Edmonds designates
the subject property as Public Facility. The proposed use
is consistent with this designation.
6. The subject property is zoned as a Public Use. The stadium
will be in conformance with this zoning designation.
7. The proposed stadium will not impact views in the area. It
will not be'detrimental to other property owners in the
general vicinity.
8. Mitigation measures can be enforced to lessen the traffic
impact caused by the use of the facility.
9. The requested variance is the minimum variance request.
The facility as prop.osed.by the Applicant will be an
improvement on the existing facility.
RECOMMENDATION

testimony and evidence submitted at the public hearing it is
hereby recommended to the City Council of the City of Edmonds
that variance V-21-87 be granted. This variance will allow a

HISTORY AND SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The Edmonds School District has plans to demolish the existing stadium at
Edmonds High School and erect a new stadium in its place. Because the
new structure would exceed the permitted 25' height limit, a variance
application was filed with the City.
On August 20, 1987, the Hearing Examiner held a public hearing on the
School District's request to allow the proposed new stadium at Edmonds
High School to exceed the permitted height limit of 25 feet by 60 feet.
The new stadium is proposed to be 53 feet high, with an additional 32
feet in height for four new light standards to be mounted on the roof.
Usually, the Hearing Examiner's decision on a variance is final unless it
is appealed to the City Council. Because the subject structure is a
public building, the Hearing Examiner reviewed the variance under the
provisions of Chapter 17.00.030 (C) and has made a recommendation to the
City Council.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt the Hearing Examiner's findings and recommendation to approve the
variance request of the Edmonds School District.

that 1% funding is, earmarked for the beautification project and it would be undertaken. Ms.
Goodrick replied negatively. Mayor Naughten clarified that 1% funding for arts amounted to
$180,000 (calculated on Edmonds percentage cost of the project of $18 million). He said that
funding has been earmarked for the beautification project, and the Council hopes that the Arts
Commission will work in conjunction with CWC-HDR, Inc., in the design review.
Councilmember Wilson stated that he felt that the participating agencies should share in the
costs of mitigating measures. Mr. Hahn said the participating agencies have agreed to share in
those costs.
Steve Goodman, 629 Glen Street; Morgan Pierre, 22608 - 84th; and Jeff Dale, 121608 - 81st. Avenue
West, inquired about the progress of discussions of an issue that was raised at an earlier Coun-
cil meeting regarding the request to provide skateboarders with a designated area in the City to
enjoy the sport. Mayor Naughten said the, Parks & Recreation Department is investigating the
issue, and Staff will present the information to the Council in .the near future. The Council
will then make a decision whether or not to forward the matter to the Planning Board. Mr. Hahn
said the report was submitted to the City Clerk's office that morning and will be included as
part of the Council packets for the next meeting. Mr. Hahn referred any questions of proponents
of the skateboard park to Parks & Recreation Division Manager Jim Barnes.
Mayor Naughten closed the audience portion of the meeting.
PRESENTATION TO MONARCHS BASEBALL TEAM
Mayor Naughten stated that .the Edmonds Monarchs Baseball team is an all -female softball team from
ages twelve and under. He said the team placed second in .the National Softball Championships in
Kansas. The team was organized in 1987 and has suffered only one defeat in fifty-eight games.
The Monarchs won the league, District, State, and regional championships this year.
Mayor Naughten requested General Manager Bill Yeager, Coach Carl Paul, and the members of the
team to advance to the dais for recognition. He presented a letter to Mr. Yeager, Mr. Paul, and
each team member in congratulations and recognition of their outstanding performance.
HEARING ON HEARING EXAMINER RECOMMENDATION ON HEIGHT VARIANCE FOR EDMONDS HIGH SCHOOL STADIUM AT
7600 - 212TH. ST. S.W. (V-21-87/EDMONDS SCHOOL DISTRICT 15)
Planning Division Mary Lou Block reported that the Edmonds School District has plans to demolish
the existing stadium at Edmonds High School and erect a new stadium in its place. Because the
new structure will exceed the permitted 25 foot height limit, a variance application was filed
d.�retdl with the City.
On August 20, 1987, the Hearing Examiner held a public hearing on the School District's request
to allow the proposed new stadium at Edmonds High School to exceed the permitted height limit of
25 feet by 60 feet. The new stadium is proposed to be 53 feet high with an additional 32 feet in
height for four new light standards to be mounted on the roof.
The Hearing Examiner's decision on a variance is usually final unless it is appealed to the City
Council. Because the proposed structure is a public building, the Hearing Examiner reviewed the
variance under the provisions of Chapter 17.00.030 (C) and has made a recommendation to the City
Council.
Ms. Block said it is the recommendation of Staff to adopt the Hearing Examiner's Findings and
Recommendation to approve the variance request of the Edmonds School District.
Ms. Block noted that a traffic study has been conducted with mitigating measuresproposed.
Councilmember Dwyer inquired about the height of the existing stadium. Ms. Block replied 41
feet, excluding the light standards.
.Bill McKeighen, representative of Edmonds School District, 3800 - 196th St. S.W., said the pro-
posed timing of the construction schedule calls for bid documents to be solicited sometime in
mid -November and with construction commencing soon thereafter. He said the District would like.
to complete construction before the football season begins next year.
Councilmember Dwyer inquired if the District concurred with the Hearing Examiner's Recommenda-
tion. Mr. McKeighen replied affirmatively.
Gil Braida, Project Administrator, said the stadium project has been required for some time due
to the structural instability of the building. He noted that the project is rated as a very high
priority amongst projects contemplated by the School District. He said the approach to the
EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 2 SEPTEMBER 15, 1987
�•r
project has been not only to address structural needs but also to create an image for the greater
Edmonds area as well as the District , an image of contemporary excellence in architecture.
rt
Mr. Braida reviewed a site.plan of the existing facility. He said it was intended to remove.the:
stadium by December 15, 1987.- He then reviewed a rendering of the proposed stadium and exterior
details, noting that the structure will be comprised of steel and reinforced concrete. The build -
length will span from the 3 yard line to the 3 yard line. Mr. Braida said that some landscap-
ing will be provided within the interior of the.site plan.
Mr. Braida said the players will access the field through a corridor from the center of the stadi—
um and the spectators will filter into the stadium via ramps on either side of the structure,
thus eliminating any conflict of traffic between players and spectators.
Mr. Braida said the proposed stadium will seat 2,704 spectators as opposed to 2,800 in the exist-
ing stadium, which includes bleachers. The bleachers will be eliminatedfrom the design of .the
new stadium. Mr. Braida said a full stadium by elimination of the bleachers will have a posi-
tive, exhilarating effect on the spectators.
Mr. Braida then reviewed the interior details of the proposed stadium, which includes dressing
rooms, custodial spaces, showers, storage, training room, corridors, and concession space.
Mr. Braida. said the proposed stadium will be 52 feet in height at its highest point. The light
standards will add 32 feet to that height for a total height of 85 feet. He noted that the
lights on the existing structure tower 105 feet. The proposed lighting standards will be reduced
in wattage because they will be lowered and aimed at a specific grid on the play field.
Councilmember Kasper inquired about the location of the existing light standards. Mr. Braida
depicted their location via an existing site plan. Councilmember Kasper noted that the proposed
light standards do not appear to be positioned at the same angle as the existing standards. Mr.
Braida said the angle will be exactly the same as the existing poles.
Councilmember Hall inquired about the bulk of the base of the light standards. Mr. Braids said
the width of the base will be 294 feet. Councilmember Hall inquired about the height of the
risers. Mr. Braida replied 8-1/2 inches.
Mayor Naughten opened the public portion of the hearing.
Mary Goetz, 608 - 2nd Avenue N., said the height of the proposed stadium willnotsignificantly
impact the neighborhood. She said the stadium will be a wonderful gift to the community, and she
thought it fell within the intent of the Community Development Code. She urged the Council to
approve the project.
Mayor Naughten closed the public portion of the hearing.

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE THE VARIANCE REQUEST OF THE EDMONDS SCHOOL DISTRICT.

FOR 7-
Planning Division Manager Mary Lou Block reported that on July 6, 1986, the Architectural Design
Board (ADB) granted approval of two freestanding signs for the 7-Eleven store at 21920 Highway
99. Subsequently, Southland Corporation sought to revise the freestanding sign package to allow
one of the signs to be larger than previously approved. On August 5, 1987, the ADB denied the
application to revise the approved sign package. On August 18, 1987, Southland Corporation
filed an appeal seeking to overturn the ADB decision.
Ms. Block noted that a copy of the appeal letter, site plan, the sign elevation, and minutes from
the August 5, 1987 ADB were included in the Council packets.
Ms. Block said it is the recommendation of Staff that the City Council uphold the ADB decision.
However, should the Council decide to revise the ADB decision, another option would be to approve;
the larger freestanding sign but require that the second smaller freestanding sign be removed.
Councilmember Ostrom asked what the request of the applicant was. Ms. Block said the applicant
is requesting approval of a larger sign to replace an existing sign in one location and a new
sign in another location.
Councilmember Dwyer inquired if an existing sign was removed due to widening of 220th Street.
Ms. Block replied affirmatively. She said the corporation was compensated for relocation of that

FINDINGS OF FACT, CONCLUSIONS AND DECISION
OF THE EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL
In the matter of the application
of the Edmonds School District #15
for approval of variance file #V-21-87
On September 15, 1987, the Edmonds City Council considered
the application of the Edmonds School District No. 15, file #V-
21-87, for a variance from the permitted twenty-five foot heighth
limitation for the purpose of constructing a new football stadium
with light standards. The stadium is proposed for a fifty-three
foot heighth with an additional thirty-two feet height (total 85
feet) for four new light standards. Based upon the hearing of
September 15, 1987, the record and recommendation of its Hearing
Examiner, the Edmonds City Council hereby approves the variance
application, adopts the recommendation with findings of fact and
conclusions as contained therein subject to the following
clarification: The variance as approved from the twenty-five
foot heighth limitation of the adjacent zoning is hereby limited
to fifty-three feet in heighth for the proposed stadium structure
in accordance with the plans submitted to the City Council and an
additional variance to eight -five feet for four light standards
with ,attendant supporting structures and wiring all as shown on
the proposed application and materials. The variance as approved
is not a blanket variance for the property to eight-fi e feet but
rather is limited to fifty-three feet for the proposed stadium
structure and eight -five feet for the four light standards. No
other variance or approval for additional structures above the
twenty-five foot heighth limitation is or has been given.

SUBJECT: STADIUM PROJECT (A87602STA)
RE: SURFACE IMPROVEMENT REQUIREMENTS - CITY OF EDMONDS
A meeting was held at the Edmonds City Center, 250 5th Avenue
North, Edmonds, attended by:
Vi Walls Board Member
Jerry Crabb Edmonds High School
Bob Alberts / City of Edmonds
Mary Lou Blocky City of Edmonds
Peter Hahn City of Edmonds
Gil Braida Capital Projects Office
Bill McKeighen Capital Projects Office
The purpose of this meeting was to discuss the improvements
required as a result of the environmental checklist procedure
completed last August, 1987 for the proposed construction of a
2700 seat Grandstand. A determination of Non -significance was
issued by the City of Edmonds, who had assumed lead agency status
for this project.
Among the items included as mitigating measures of this
Determination of Non -significance was the widening of 212th
Street Southwest. Vi Walls, of the Edmonds School District,
raised the issue of whether or not the Stadium project, for which
the widening of 212th Street was specified, was really a factor .
in the deterioration of loss of service of the intersection at
76th Avenue and 212th Street. The City of Edmonds reaffirmed
their position, that in fact Stadium traffic did cause a
deterioration of the level of service at that intersection. This
view was corroborated by Peter Hahn and Bob Alberts.
The question was then raised by Vi Walls, that perhaps the
widening of 212th Street, along with other surface improvements
required, might be put off until the high school itself went
under major modernization. Mary Lou Block, of the City of
Edmonds, pointed out that the requirements of SEPA (State
Environmental Policy Act) required that the environmental
checklist procedure had to be followed, as specified in the
CW io e

Washington Administrative Code 197-10. It was pointed out that
the review.period for the Determination of Non -significance with
mitigating measure had expired as of August 31, 1987. The date
in which the findings and/or Determination could be challenged
had expired, therefore, Mary Lou pointed out that the only way to
back away from the widening of 212th Street Southwest, would be
to withdraw the project and reapply, going through the
environmental checklist procedure again.
Peter Hahn asked the question of whether or not the utility poles
that are currently placed on the south side of 212th Street would
have to be relocated? Bill.McKeighen reported that it did not
appear that the poles would have to be relocated. That was based
upon the examination of the street, the location of the poles and
the existing width of the eastbound lane. It appears that the
existing eastbound lane is approximately 16 feet wide. The
addition of 5 or 5 1/2 feet would provide 22 feet in total,
therefore providing 2, 11 foot lanes. This new eastbound lane
would extend from 76th Avenue West, westerly, to approximately
the end of the School District property, approaching Both Avenue.
It is estimated that this is about 1,000 lineal feet.
Bob Alberts, of the City of Edmonds, pointed out that they have a
current project on the books to resurface 212th Street in front
of the high school. Peter Hahn asked Bob whether or not the
widening of 212th Street could be combined with the resurfacing
project. Bob Alberts replied that he would investigate the
feasibility of doing this. If the City were given permission to
expand their current project on 212th Street to include the
widening, then the School District would only pay the matching
costs for that particular project. Matching costs approximate
17% of the project cost.
Jerry Crabb, of Edmonds High School, raised other issues .
concerning the mitigating measures associated with the
Determination of Non -significance. In particular, the internal
connection between the existing bus loop and the faculty parking
lot fronting 76th Avenue West. Jerry raised the issue of the
need to provide an internal connection loop between the bus loop
and the faculty parking lot, if in fact a new right hand turn
only lane was going to be provided on 212th Street to 76th Avenue
West.
Bob Alberts suggested that when the schematic diagrams for this
particular surface improvement are ready, then perhaps the
District could come back to the City and propose an alternate
remedy for the connection between the faculty parking lot and the
bus loop. The main issue here is the current entrance to the
faculty parking lot just south of 212th Street on 76th Avenue
West. At present this entrance is dangerous and is considered
very hazardous and the City maintains that it would like to
improve that situation by moving the entrance southward or
providing some other alternate means to assure that entrance and
egress is changed to provide a safe method of entrance and exit.
It was suggested that by re -striping the faculty parking lot, it
may be possible to provide this safe entrance/exit method.
The current parent drop-off loop, just north of the student
parking lot, is still looked upon as an item which requires
attention. Vi Walls suggested that perhaps this drop-off loop
improvement might also be delayed until -the nigh school is
modernized. It was pointed out that the proposed improvement
would probably not be very expensive and also that immediate
relief would be realized as a result of this improvement.'
The issue was raised as to how the City could be assured that the
surface improvements would in fact be completed before the
Stadium was reoccupied. This question came as a result of our
proposal to the City of Edmonds asking for permission to proceed
with the building permit process of the Stadium proper and
subsequent application for the surface improvements at a later
date. The City's concern, of course, would be that should they
provide a building permit for us to construct the new Stadium
that the required surface improvements, such as widening 212th
and the parking lot, would coincide with the Stadium construction
schedule and that we would attempt to occupy the Stadium before
these improvements were completed.
The City presented to the District a draft proposal, which they
are asking the Board of Directors of the Edmonds School District
to acknowledge and sign, that the District promises to complete
all of the required surface improvement items before an occupancy
permit for the new Stadium was issued, and that we would provide
assurance that the District would not attempt to occupy the
Stadium prior to the completion of the surface improvements. The
agreement essentially reiterates the penalties involved, both
civil and criminal, as set forth in state law and city ordinance.
The School District will review this draft proposal and ask that
the District's attorney review it and respond to the City of
Edmonds appropriately.
There being no further discussion, the meeting was adjourned.
