CITY ATTORNEY
MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Office of the City Attorney
RE: Annexation to Sno-Isle Intercounty Rural
Library District
DATE: December 3, 1982
As was indicated by the representative from the
Sno-Isle Intercounty Rural Library District, RCW 27.12.360
through 390 sets forth the procedures for annexation of
a city or town into a intercounty rural library district.
The city first sends a proposed ordinance of intention to
join the library district to the Library Board for the
Board's review and recommendations. If the Board of
Trustees concurs, the ordinance is passed by the city
and then forwarded to the Snohomish County Council. The
Snohomish County Council then sets a special election
for the annexation question. The ballot proposition need
only receive a simple majority of those voting.
Upon annexation the Library District's tax levy shall
be imposed throughout the district including any city or
town annexed thereto. This levy cannot exceed 50-cents
per $1,000 of assessed value per year and is, of course,
subject to the 106% levy lid imposed by RCW 84.55. The
City's regular property tax levy limit of $3.60 per $1,000
of assessed valuation would be reduced by any regular
levy made by the Library District in thb incorporated area.
Since the City is nowhere near the statutory limit of $3.60
per $1,000, this would present no problem.
RCW 84.55.030 provides that the first levy upon annexa-
tion of a district is equal to the aggregate assessed valua-
tion of the newly annexed area multiplied by the dollar rate
that would have been used by the annexing unit in the absence
of such annexation, plus the additional dollar amounts due
to new construction and improvements. Thus, for the first
levy after any annexation into the library district, the
citizens of Edmonds would be paying additional taxes based
upon the Library District's current dollar rate. This would

occur without a separate vote to lift the 1060 lid.
In considering whether or not to propose an annexation
to the Library District, the Council should be aware of
several factors. First, the additional revenues generated
would not be subject to control by the City of Edmonds, but
would instead pass directly to the Library District. There-
fore, it would appear that before such an annexation is
proposed, contractual arrangements will have to be made
with the District to assure that the additional tax
revenues would be used to offset the costs of maintenance,
etc., of the new library. There, of course, would be the
possibility that the additional tax revenues generated by
the citizens of Edmonds would more than offset any expenses
the Library District would be required to pay to the City.
However, since the Library District, and not the City Council
would be setting the tax levy, the Council would have no
control over whether the citizens of Edmonds would be sub-
sidizing the expenses of the Library District in areas out-
side the City limits.
As you know, the county legislative authorities of
Snohomish and Island counties appoint the members of the
Board of Trustees. Even upon annexation into the City of
Edmonds, the citizens of Edmonds would have no direct voice
in appointments to the Library Board. That decision would
continue to rest solely within the jurisdiction of the
Snohomish County Council and the Island County Commissioners.
There will undoubtedly arise other questions concerning
a possible annexation to the Library District. Please do
not hesitate to contact me with regard to this matter.
Very truly yours,
OFFICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY

Re: New Library and Curbs
To Council Members:
RECEIVED
Adult;,1W
Edmonds City Clerk
We would like to state we are in favor of the new curbs and the way they
are designed. We do not feel that they will be hazardous to the traffic
on Dayton Street.
We do not want the curbs taken out for several reasons.
1. It is a waste of taxpayers money to remove them. If the city
has that kind of money, there is better way to spend it.
2. Give everyone a chance to see how they work.
3. After the construction fencing is down, it will give more room
and appear different to people.
4. We do not feel that just a few people should be able to control
what is done about the curbs.
We would like to state that the Library looks nice the way it is, it is an
asset to Dayton Street and to the City of Edmonds.
Yours very truly,

SUBJECT: SUGGESTED POLICY FOR USES AND RENTAL
FEES AT NEW LIBRARY COMPLEX
As requested by the Council, I have been meeting with representatives
of the Library Board & Sno-Isle Library system to develop policies
for uses in the new Library. Starting with the principle that the
upper meeting room(s) shall be programmed through the City and the
main level through the Library system, the following policy is suggested:
1) The City shall reserve the upper meeting room(s) every
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday evenings from
6:30 p.m.
2) The upper meeting room(s) will be available for Library
uses at any other time. Yearly, monthly, or daily
scheduling,as requested,will be handled through Linda
Severson in the Parks and Recreation Department. The
rooms are intended for multipurpose meeting room space,
unti lrLibrarye programming needs require added space.
3) So as not to conflict with existing City leasing and o
rental policies, the upper meeting room(s) shall be
scheduled on a rental basis at a rate deemed appropriate
by City policysetters. Library services such as children's
storytimes, Friends of the Library meetings, and Library -
sponsored adult lectures, will of course be exempt from
such fees. Subletting of the space is not permitted
without approval by the City.
4) The word "non-profit" or "charitable" does not mean free
use of the upper meeting room(s); thus, stamp collecting
or knitting classes, for example, would not be exempt
from rental fees.
5) Spaces are available at the Anderson Center for hardship
cases.
I would suggest that the rental rates for the upper meeting rooms should
be set the same as they would be in the private sector. They would then
consider the construction, the maintenance and administrative costs
balanced with a "what the market will bear" philosophy.
The Library representatives would appreciate the opportunity to further
discuss these suggested policies with the Council.

SUBJECT: ADDITIONAL FUNDING REQUESTS--. LIBRARY PROJECTS
As noted in our recent discussion, there are several items that have
been requested but not yet purchased from Library funds.. They include:
Item Cost
(As requested by Library system):
Display shelves
2-zone paging system
Typewriter
Peg board $5,800
Additional shelves and supports 4,000
(As requested by Buildings & Grounds):
Trash receptacles ($400 each x 12) $4,800
Rotary mower (1) 600
Blower (1) 300
Edger (1) 300
Vacuum (1) 1,300
Shampooer 2,000
9,300
Other defined needs:
Plaza benches ($300 each x 10) $ 3,000
Audio visual equipment for upper meeting room 11,000
Upper meeting room curtains 6,000
Identification banners 5,000
25,000
Total $44,100
Some of these items were previously budgeted for (such as the audio
visual equipment) but have not yet been purchased. Most of the items
have been requested during the last stages of the Library construction.
I recommend that we purchase those items that are needE!d to immediately
operate the Library and upper meeting room (the audio visual equipment,
4 appropriate trash receptacles, the upper meeting room blackout
curtains - for a total of $18,200) and discuss the other items at
a Council work meeting.

SUBJECT: DISCUSSION OF POLICY FOR USES AND RENTAL
FEES AT NEW LIBRARY COMPLEX
As noted on the attached memo, I have met with representatives of
the Library system and have forwarded a draft use policy for the
new Library complex. Basically it suggests that the upper meeting
room is scheduled by the Parks & Recreation Department and the main
or lower area is programmed completely for Library uses. With the
exception of City sponsored groups and a small number of Library
sponsored groups, the upper meeting room will only be used on a
rental basis.
As for the rental fee to be charged on the upper meeting room,
facilities with similar amenities (2,000 sq. ft., view, parking,
kitchen, etc.) charge from $125 for 4 hours at Lynnwood's Landmark
Inn (no kitchen or view) to $145 at Pantley's (no kitchen) to
$300 for 4 hours at the Washington Plaza (no kitchen) to $375 for
4+ hours at the Edmonds Senior Center.
With these facts in mind, I recommend:
That any group other than those named be required to
seek Council approval for free rental of the upper
meeting room;
2. That the upper meeting room be rented for $50 per hour,
$200 for 4 hours, $300 for 8+ hours plus a $300 damage
deposit for renters who have liquor permits. A 15% fee
reduction is suggested if the kitchen is'not rented.
The fee, of course, would be reduced if only a portion
of the room is reserved.

SUBJECT: SNO-ISLE LIBRARY DISTRICT CONTRACT
The Council asked me to look into the possiblity of re -negotiating
the Sno-Isle Library District contract with the City of Edmonds.
I met with Lenore Collins of Edmonds, who is the Chairman of the Sno-
Isle Board. She informed me that a change in the contract would be
difficult. She further stated that a proposal to change the contract
should be addressed to the entire Board and mailed to the Marysville
office.
The Board is made up of five members from Snohomish County and two
members from Island County. All of the cities in the two counties
contract with the District except Everett, Oak Harbor and Woodway.
Everett maintains their own library, Oak Harbor annexed to the Dis-
trict which means they enjoy a rural status with a book mobile ser-
vice and Woodway has nothing.

RE: CRITERIA FOR SELECTION OF LIBRARY BOARD MEMBERS
The Edmonds Library Board has been appointed in the past using
criteria specified in R.C.W. 27.12.190. I quote the pertinent
parts below:
In cities and towns five trustees shall be
appointed by the mayor with the consent of
the legislative body ... A trustee shall be
appointed annually to serve for five years...
No person shall be appointed to any board of
trustees for more than two consecutive terms.
Vacancies shall be filled for unexpired terms
as soon as possible in the manner in which
members of the board are regularly chosen...
A library trustee in the case of a city or
town may be removed only by vote of the legis-
lative body.
Ordinarily the Library Board has submitted a list of choices
for appointment to the Mayor each December or on those occasions
when a Board member resigned before the end of his term.
I hope this information will assist you in your decision -making
regarding the selection of Library Board members.

RE: Electrical grid, Edmonds Library
DATE: 2/9/82
This morning Jim Jessel called me about a discrepancy concerning the
electrical grid in the floor of the new Edmonds Library.
It was my understanding that the City Council authorized a grid in
the public areas on approximately 12' centers. The construction
plans do not include as many lines of conduit as we had requested
and no one is quite sure how the error occured. The result, however,
is that in some areas there is as much as 24 feet between the runs
of conduit.
This will not cause a problem at this time, because of the furniture
and shelving layout which will be utilized. It is the future which
concerns me. We will be limited in our ability to rearrange furniture
and shelving to meet the changing needs of library users. (You have
heard this before - they are the same points I used in requesting a
complete grid.)
I'm afraid that if the conduit is not installed now, the costs and
complications of adding it at any time in the future will be
prohibitive.
Thank you for your consideration.

SUBJECT: USE OF THE MEETING ROOMS IN THE NEW LIBRARY
At the Council's request, we have reviewed the potential
users and scheduling requirements for the new library
meeting rooms. We began with the premise that there are
three rooms which will be available. These are:
#1) A large upstairs room which will accommodate
100 people. (This room opens to hold 150
people in conjunction with Room #2.)
#2) A smaller upstairs room which, by itself,
will accommodate 50 people.
#3) A main floor conference room which will
hold approximately 15 people.
Besides these three rooms, there will be meeting rooms
available in the present Civic Center complex.
We have identified a number of City and Library uses for
the foregoing facilities. These are indicated, along with
the appropriate room, on the attached sheets.
In addition to the recognized City and Library needs, there
are potential user groups from the public. A listing o.f the
type of groups which might use these available spaces'is

In considering use of the facilities by public groups,

Memo to Mayor Harrison,
City Council Members
Page 2 - September 23. 1981
Scheduling the use of these rooms will be a challenge
and clearly a job for someone with the time and ability
to handle it. It will require coordination with Library
Staff, City staff and public groups. This is the type
of task presently performed for the Frances Anderson Center
(FAC) by Steve Simpson and Linda Severson in the
Park and Recreation Department. (Some of the groups
presently using the FAC may be transferred to the new
meeting rooms, thereby increasing the potential revenue.)
It is our recommendation that the City and Library Staff
prepare scheduling and use policies for review and
approval by the City Council and the Library Board.

POLICY FOR THE USE OF THE MEET" ROOM
OF THE
EDMONDS PUBLIC LIBRARY
The meeting room may be used by local educational, cultural or civic organizations.
It may not be used for partisan political meetings nor for meetings of
religious organizations.
Every organization using the meeting room for the first time must make an application
to the Edmonds Library Board. Permission to.hold interim meetings may
by granted at the discretion of the librarian.
Reservations for all meetings should be made at the library desx. The room is
available from 9:00 A.M. to 11:00 P.M. weekdays and Saturdays, but may not
be used Sundays and holidays. The program year runs from Sept. 1st to
Aug. 31st; all reservations expire on Aug. 31st. Organizations wishing to
schedule recurring or series of meetings throughout the year should submit
preferred dates before Sept. 1st. Library sponsored programs will take
precedence.
No rental fee will be charged for the use of the meeting room. The organization
assumes responsibility for cleaning the room thoroughly, immediately
following the meeting. A deposit of $5.00 to cover possible breadage
will be required for the use of the kitchenette at the time the reservation
is made.
No admission fee may be charged for entrance to a meeting or program. However,
fees for participation in study groups, discussion series, institutes and
similar meetings may be collected if permission has been secured in advance
from the Library Board. A meeting in which financial gain is an important
element will be permitted with approval of the Library Board; donations
shall be made to the Library's lecture fund.
Meetings which would interfere with the work of the library because of noise or
other factors will not be permitted.
The Library Board reserves the right to cancel permission to use the auditorium
if, in the opinion of the Board, any of the above conditions are not met.

MEMO TO: Mayor Harrison
City Council Members
FROM: Edmonds Library Board
SUBJECT: Library Meeting Rooms
Because the users and scheduling of the new 11br2ry meeti.n, rooms will
discussed at this weekend's Council Retreat, the Library Board felt it
would-be appropriate to summarize our vieva rer,irrjlng this Hart of the
L: 7
facility.
Since the library meeting rooms are a part of the 20, 000 square feet building
area allocated to how library services, it is our assumption that first
priority for its use would be giyon to the present library programs and
would allow for expanding these programg or nervi.ces in the fixture. As I
am sure you are all aware, :such library programs are a basic part of
library services provided in all the suburban and small totem libraries in
this area.
The Library Hoard also shares the opinion expressed by some council members
that this new facility should be well utilized. It is not our intention
to request that these rooms be used by the library exclusively, but we feel
very strongly that the library must he given first consideration so that
it will have the potential of offering the Edmonds citizens a variety of
services and programs, making maximum use of their tax dollars. The members
of the Library Board hope that scheduling decisions made at this time will
not limit the possibilities for thlii.s kind of development in years to come.
A second area of unanimous agreement among the Board members is the use of
these meeting rooms by-ijbli.c groups. The possibility of charging public,
non-profit groups for using; nny of these rooms strikes us as a loss of
a former service offered by the old library. It was always our be-
lief that a new library would open up new horizons in library service ,
not close down existing ones. Undoubtedly many grau;•s t-rould go elsewhere,
feeling that this new building is not.truly theirs'to use. Such a policy,
that of charging the taxpayers again for a building they are already
paying for, does not exist in any other library system to our knowledge,
certainly not in Seattle or Kin county.
The following are the Libr. n,, Board's recommendations:
1) priority he given to the library for use of these rooms.
2) public groups retain free use of these rooms ( additional
information on this point may be found in the present
Edmonds Library Meeting Room Policy)
3)policy formation and scheduling be reviewed by the Library Board
and the Council.
Realizing the Imany aspects needing to 'be weighed and halancel in your space needs
m decisions, it is the hope of the Library Board that you will make all parts
of this new library available for optimum library service.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Office of the City Attorney
DATE: June 10, 1981
RE: 1980 Councilmanic Bonds
The question has arising concerning the ability of the
City to spend any excess monies from the 1980 Councilmanic
Bonds sale for other municipal purposes. After consulting
with Bond Counsel and with the State Auditor, it is this
office's opinion that after appropriate amendment of Ordi-
nance No. 2150, any excess funds from the 1980 bond sale
could be used for any other specified municipal purpose. If
such a surplus is found to exist, and if the Council deter-
mines to spend the money in this manner, the Attorney's
Office should be directed at that time to prepare the
necessary amendments to the bond ordinance to authorize the
expenditure.

Dear Mr. Ryan:
HARVE H. HARRISON
MAYOR
Your letter of April 7, 1981 requested clarification
of outfit for the meeting room in the new library
complex.
We concur with items A through E of your first para-
graph. These items would be appropriate for the meet-
ing room regardless of who used it. We don't want the
space designed as City Council chambers,but neither do
we want it designed to exclude occasional use for City
Council meetings.
Your suggestions for the additional four itmes can be
addressed in a similar vein. Audiovisual equipment
and flag poles would be supplied by the user of the
room if necessary for their function. They need not
be included in the contract. The tack boards and map
rails may be included if they do not impact on the in-
terior- design or function. If they are not compatible
with your design, they may be omitted.
Again, this should be a general purpose space, not a
City Council space.
I hope this responds to your concerns and remains with-
in the agreed design criteria.
Sincerely,
r'

A. Audio visual equipment: One overhead projector.
B. Tack boards: Approximately 6 feet long, 4 feet high.
C. Map rails: Approximately 12 linear feet.

SUBJECT: PROGRESS REPORT ON NEW LIBRARY
During the March 24 City Council Meeting, two questions were raised concerning
the library - the need for a breakdown of associated costs, and for further
discussion on the exterior of the building.
ASSOCIATED COSTS
Taxes (.053%) $ 128,000
Negotiated Fees 192,500
Testing/Management/Printing 25,000
Project Contingency (includes
future landscape design fees, 83,000
and furniture)
TOTAL ASSOCIATED COSTS $ 428,500
TOTAL CONSTRUCTION FUNDS 2,661,500
TOTAL PROJECT FUNDS $3,090,000
EXTERIOR FINISH (Or the 8" x 16" Stigma)
A view trip has been scheduled for April 4, at 8:30 a.m., to examine
concrete block buildings that reflect individuality, scale, purpose,
warmth, and a connection to the neighborhood - the design criteria
for the library. We hope to prove that concrete block structures,
when properly designed, can provide a very attractive building.
MAINTENANCE CONSIDERATION OF THE EXTERIOR FINISH
As noted in the attached letter from Arai/Jackson, if the following
guidelines are followed, concrete block exterior walls can be main-
tenance effective:
1. Attention to detailing, i.e., window, door installation, etc.
2. Masonry installation - masonry must be properly installed with
correct mortar, joints, etc.
3. Application of coatings - waterproofing coatings and stain
should be supervised by manufacturer's representative and
architect.

Dear Mr. Jessel:
Arai/Jackson has completed our investigation into the use of
concrete masonry units and waterproofing agents in exterior
wall systems. In order to obtain the most representative in-
formation, we have contacted a number of orgnizations who have
been involved with concrete block. Some of the organizations
who have been contacted are:
Masonry Institute of Washington
Builders Layrite Concrete Co.
Pavey Research
Doran, Anderson, Freed, Architects
Parker Paint Co.
Seattle Parks Department
Olson Walker, Architects
In general, all of those contacted stated that concrete masonry
units can provide an excellent, cost effective and attractive
exterior wall if a few guidelines are observed, there are:
1. Attention to detailing, i.e., window, door installation, etc.
2. Masonry installation - masonry must be properly installed
with correct mortar, joints, etc.
3. Application of coatings - waterproofing coatings and stain
should be supervised by manufacturer's representative and
architect.
The foregoing items are all routinely checked and reviewed in
both our technical specifications and drawings. We also con-
sult with manufacturer's representatives in order to insure
the highest quality installation.

In addition to quality control, it should also be noted that
the Anderson Center Library is scheduled to receive furred out
interior walls which contribute to masking water infiltration.
Regarding the number of coats of waterproofing required on con-
crete block wall, our contacts, Pavey Research and Chemstop,
have indicated that two coats will give the most cost effective
job and produce an excellent waterproofing membrane. Please
note the enclosed correspondence from Pavey and Chemstop and
technical data on their products. It should also be noted that
the Anderson Center Library is scheduled to receive an exterior
stain which will contribute to the effectiveness of the water-
proofing agents.
Arai/Jackson sincerely hopes that the City of Edmonds considers
concrete masonry units as a functional, cost effective and at-
tractive exterior building material.

Planning Division
SUBJECT: HEARING ON CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, INCLUDING
MODIFICATIONS/VARIANCES, FOR PUBLIC LIBRARY
AT 700 MAIN STREET (FILE #CU-67-80)
The item was heard by the Planning Commission on
December 18, 1980. It was heard in conjunction with the
rezone request R-5-80. Attached are copies of the minutes
from that hearing, elevations and a site plan.
As provided by Section 12.15.030(D), three modifications/
variances are being requested with this Conditional Use Permit.
They are:
1) Exceed the height requirement by .five feet.
Maximum height is proposed at 30 feet. Code
allows 25 feet for flat roofs.
2) Allow the building to be located within the
required setbacks.
Code requires municipal improvements to meet a
25 foot setback for all yards,or the height
of the structure, whichever is greater. Since
the building proposed is 30 feet at one point,
30 foot setbacks are required. Setbacks
proposed are 20 feet.
3) Develop a portion of Durbin Street for
required parking.
Due to limited site development area, a
portion of the required parking is proposed
to be developed on Durbin Street (18 stalls).
The Planning Commission recommends approval of this
Conditional Use Permit including the requested modification/
variances.

COMMISSION MINUTES. MOTION CARRIED.
STAFF REPORT
Mr. Bowman stated the Open Space rezone request on Meadowdale Beach Road was heard
by the City Council last Tuesday and they upheld the Planning Commission
to deny the request, however they would take into consideration that when and if the
property is put up for sale the Council would reconsider the concerns addressed by the
property owners in the area. Two other items on the Council agenda included approval
of two shoreline permits. One for the waterfront improvement program and the other for
Union Oil Park and both of those permits were approved.
AGENDA
R-5-80 CITY OF EDMONDS - Proposed rezone from OS to RS-6 (Open Space to Single Family
Residential - 6,000 square feet) at 700 Main Street legally described as
Lots 1 through 40, inclusive, Block 88 and Lots 13 through 28, inclusive,
Block 97, Plat of the City of Edmonds, according to Plat thereof recorded
in Volume 2 of Plats, page 39, records of Snohomish County, Washington
CU-67-80 CITY OF EDMONDS - Conditional Use Permit for a public library including the
following modifications variances to Zoning Code requirements; 1) Exceed
height requirement by five feet. 2) Allow building within required setbacks.
3) Develop portion of Durbin Street for required parking., at 700 Main Street
legally described as Lots 1 through 40, inclusive, Block 88, and Lots 13
through 28, inclusive, Block 97, Plat of the City of Edmonds, according to
Plats thereof recorded in Volume 2 of Plats, page 39, records of Snohomish
County, Washington.
Mr. Bowman asked the Commission if they would consider hearing these two
items simultaneously however the motions will have to be separate as recommen-
dations to the City Council. The first item, R-5-80, the proponent is the
City of Edmonds and the proposal is to rezone lots 1 through 40 inclusive,
Block 88. and Lots 13 through 28, inclusive, Block 97 of the Plat of the City
of Edmonds from Open Space to RS-6. The area is commonly known as the Frances
E. Anderson Center. The reason for the proposal is to allow a public structure
such as a library with a conditional use permit. The zoning on adjacent
properties to the south and east is RS-6. The properties located to the north,
across Main Street, are a mixture of PYIH and RS-fi. To the west, across Durbin
Street, is RMH zoning. The existing streets surrounding the subject property
are Main Street, Dayton Street, 8th Avenue North, and Durbin Street which all
have a right-of-way width of 60'. The proposed zoning conforms with the
Comprehensive Policy Plan in that Public and Institutional Uses are permitted
with the granting of a Conditional Use Permit. The proposed zoning conforms
to the surrounding subject party. The present use of the subject property is
a recreational center and for the most part the site is surrounded by single
family development. The present Open Space zoning was established in 1976
and the Planning Commission, in January of 1977, recommended the OS zoning
remain for a reasonable period of time in order to determine what best zoning
could be placed on the site. The City acquired the property in January of 1979
and converted the old school into the present recreational facility. Now it
is the City's intent to develop the property for public use but must rezone
the property to the proposed zoning to carry out its plan. Mr. Bowman stated
that there will be certain environmental impacts but they do not constitute
a significant adverse environmental impact and a declaration of non -signifi-
cance has been issued. The Staff recommends approval of R-S-Bn since the
proposed RS-6 zoning is consistent with adjacent zoning and the proposed usage
is consistent with the Comprehensive Policy Plan.
Mr. Bowman stated that in conjunction with the rezone request the City is
also requesting a Conditional Use Permit, CU-57-80, to allow a public
library to be constructed on this particular site as permitted by
12.13.030.2.A.iii and vi, under Primary Uses in RS Districts, Puhiic and
Institutional, of the 197B Title 12 of Land Use Guidelines. The subject
facility is required to be heard by the Planning Commission and the City
Council. The applicant is also at this time seeking modificationlvariances
to the zoning code requirements being asked with this Conditional Use Permit.
They are: 1) to exceed the height requirement by five feet putting the building
at 30 ft. maximum height, 2) to allow the building within the required setbacks.
The zoning code requires for public buildings in the Rs zone to have a 25'
setback from all property lines or to that which is the height of the building.
In other words, in this case 30' would be the highest point of the building
and a 30' setback would be required and they are proposing a modification of
that to reduce the setback of the surrounding building to 201, 3) to develop
the portion of Durbin Street for required parking, 18 stalls. The proposed
use will not endanger public health, morals, and general welfare since the
site is presently utilized as a recreational facility. The proposal will add
needed library, roof top public plazas and an auditorium. There will be some
view blockage, but the community as a whole will benefit from the development.
Staff recommends approval of CU-67-80 for the following reasons: 1) it is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, 2) the proposed use is a benefit to
the entire community and is consistent with the present use of the subject
property. 3) no substantial adverse environmental impacts will result from
the project as proposed and a dellaration of non -significance has been issued.
Mr. Bowman then introduced Andy Moniz from ArailJackson Architects to have
him point out to the Commission what is being proposed for the new library
and to answer any questions the Commission may have. Mr. Moniz stated
the proposal is for a 20,000 sq. ft. regional library. It will include
approximately 90 on -site parking stalls. The library incorporates some public
meeting rooms and a community plaza on the roof of the library. 7hp lot
coverage covers 40.. He Stated that in order to develop a library of this
size in a small area with the minimum of environmental impacts the City is
requesting approval of three modifications/variances to the Zoning rode.
These exceptions are a result of trying to minimize the environmental impacts
yet accomodate those programs that were given by the Library Board and the
City Council. It was a requirement by the Library Board to have a single
level library, ease of circulation for books and handicap access off all
sides of the library. There was also a desire to conceal on -site parking
and the code requires at least parking for 80 cars. Mr. Moniz stated that
there will be extensive landscaping both on the building and throughout
the setback areas and to serve as buffers. Chairman LaBelle asked fir. Moniz
what the requirements for staff parking will be generated for this site.
Mr. Jessel stated that at present there are two department vehicles that park
on -site and the rest of the staff parks off the site. There are about
eight other cars that park on -site and those people run the day care and
Elm Club. He stated that they are estimating about 10 cars for staff parking
on -site. Chairman LaBelle also asked that since the tennis courts are being
done away with will that pose a problem to find a replacement. Mr. Jessel
stated that eventhough the tennis courts are in poor condition they are used.
On January 13 a proposal will be made to the City Council to rebuild the
courts at the junior high school. He also Stated that in Washington State
there has been a 20% drop this year and almost a 20% drop in 1979 in the demand
for tennis courts, people are transferring to racquetball and other sports.
Mr. Moniz then reviewed the handicap access throughout the new and existing
buildings. Commissioner Ross asked why the playfield was being considered
in the rezone to RS-6, why not leave it Open Space. Mr. Bowman stated that
the playfield could be zoned separate, but Staff tried to be consistent
in zoning on the site. If any development was proposed for the site it would
have to get a Conditional Use Permit. Commissioner Ross stated that if the
Edmonds Planning Commission
December 18, 1980 - Page 2
playfield was zoned RS-6 then some day someone could build single family
homes on it. Mr. Bowman stated that the intent is to use it as a municipal
facility and have it as a focal center for the community and there is strong
use by that playfield. It is also in the Council's record that they want
that playfield to remain. Even with the zoning change the field is not in
jeopardy. Commissioner Smith stated that he was also concerned about the
playfield saying that if it was zoned RS-6 some time in the future it might
be sold. Mr. Bowman stated that it would have to be subdivided in order to
be sold. Commissioner McGibbon asked what part of the new structure exceeds
the height limitation by five feet. Mr. Moniz stated that it would be the
auditorium that tops out at 30' which covers about 15-17% of the building.
The rest of the building is approximately 16-17'. The Commission then looked
at the cross sections of the elevations of the new structure which compared
it to the existing building. They also looked at the elevation of what the
site looks like from Durbin Street. Commissioner McGibbon stated that since
some of the parking will be on Durbin Way what kind of a right-of-way is
left. Mr. Bowman showed the circulation of the parking which essentially
makes Durbin Way a one-way street. Mr. Moniz stated that there will be
benches and planters and some breakwalls on the plaza. The public portion
of the hearing was then opened.
Jeanie Johnson, 704 Maple Street, stated that she wanted to let the Commission
know that she is uncomfortable with changing the playfield zoning from
Open Space to RS-6. She stated that she understands why the portion for the
library needs to be rezoned but can't understand why the playfield needs to
be. She asked if the big tree by the tennis courts would still remain there.
Mr. Moniz stated that he wasn't sure about it but thought that it would be
removed. Ms. Johnson also asked why this was being heard as a Conditional
Use Permit and not as a variance. Mr. Bowman stated as outlined in Section
12.15.040, subsection D, the City Council has the authority to permit
municipal improvements that exceed zoning code requirements, however they
have to conduct a public hearing. The Planning Commission is a recommending
body to the City Council so they also have to look at what is being presented
and make their recommendation to the City Council. Ms. Johnson asked if the
signs that were put up around the site giving notice of this meeting, where
up for the required amount of time. Mr. Bowman stated that the signs were
up for 10 days prior to the meeting which is the required amount of time.
Ms. Johnson stated that she wants a library there but is uncomfortable with
rezoning the playfield and also has no objection to the variances/modifica-
tions to the library.
Jim Brennan, 221 8th Avenue S., was concerned about the height variance to
exceed by 5' stating that the City set the height restrictions s❑ they should
be the ones to abide by it. He also said that by looking at the model here
tonight he can see that it will not affect his view. He also firmly believes
that the description of lots includes the playfield in the rezone and would
like to see it left Open Space. He wanted to commend the Park Department
for the fine job they are doing in the maintenance of the playfield. The
public portion of the hearing was then closed.
Commissioner McGibbon stated there seems to be only one issue regarding this
application and it has to do with the retention of Open Space for what is
commonly known as the playfield. Mr. Bowman stated that he had talked with
Attorney Wayne Tanaka and he indicated that the Commission can recommend to
the Council that the rezone be granted and also leave the playfield as Open
Space and the Council can also act on that recommendation, leaving that
area as Open Space. It was discussed what lots would be left as Open Space
and what lots would be zoned RS-6. IT WAS THEN MOVED BY COMMISSIONER ROSS,
SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER SMITH, TO APPROVE R-S-BD AND INSTRUCT THE ATTORNEY
TO DRAW UP THE PROPOSED FINDINGS OF FACT TO REZONE ALL LOTS TO RS-6 EXCEPT
THE PLAYFIELD TO BE LEFT AS OPEN SPACE AND ADOPTING THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF
THE STAFF, AND TO AUTHORIZE THE CHAIRMAN TO SIGN THE FINDINGS OF FACT SUPPORT-
ING APPROVAL SINCE THERE WOULD NOT BE ANOTHER MEETING. MOTION CARRIED.
IT WAS MOVED BY COMMISSIONER MCGIBBON, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER ROSS, TO
APPROVE CU-67-80 WITH THE CONDITIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS BY THE STAFF
INCORPORATED IN THE REASONING BEHIND THIS RECOMMENDATION BECAUSE THE
MODIFICATIONS ARE NECESSARY TO ALLOW A DEVELOPMENT THAT IS CONSISTENT WITH
THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE COMMUNITY AND ARE NOT DETRIMENTAL TO THE
SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD. MOTION CARRIED.
With no further business to come before the Commission the meeting was
adjourned at 8:40 P.M.

Arai/Jackson
Architects & Designers
December 14, 1980
The following are general statements to assist in clarification of the
schematic design presentation for the Anderson Center Library Development.
1. The design criteria for this project has been developed from.an on-
going interaction of concerned citizens, neighbors, governmental bodies
and the Library Board.
Program Directives:
Maintain/preserve open multi -use spaces, views and vistas.
No demolition.
Minimize parking impact upon site.
Anderson Center/Library shall be a unified integrated development as
is feasible for:
- circulation, auto, pedestrian, handicapped;
- appearances;
- program use.
Plaza lids are desirable.
Locate Library at west end of Frances Anderson Center.
Library shall have expansion space.
Encourage pedestrian access into and through site.
Provide an element/character of focus for total complex.
Provide an energy efficient -structure.
2. Location:
Site for Library is located at the west end of the Anderson Center
Complex. There is approximately 50,000 s.f. of area on which to
construct.
1100-19th Avenue East Seattle, Washington 98112 (206) 323-8800
Page 2
The boundaries are:
Main Street to the north;
Durbin Way to the west;
Dayton Avenue to the the south.
The existing Anderson Center to the east.
The site is sloping from east to west toward Puget Sound. There are
controlled views and vistas in this direction.
On METRO bus route.
3. Physical Characteristics:
a. Size t 20,000 s.f. total.
Library 17,300 s.f. on one level.
Meeting room 2,700 s.f. on Library roof plaza.
Parking on Durbin Way ± 56 cars
Parking between Bldgs. ± 34 cars
Total 9O cars
Parking Plaza ± 9,000 s.f.
Library Plaza ± 14,800 s.f.
Total 23,800 s.f.
Adjacent to the 50,000 s.f. existing Frances Anderson Center.
b. Siting:
Western portion of the Frances Anderson Center slopes approximately
22 feet from the existing center buildings to Durbin Way.
The Library and parking are depressed into the site grades for pro-
grammatic as well as practical construction reasons.
Program directives influencing the building depression are:
- Maintain/preserve open multi -use space, views and vistas;
- Minimize parking impact upon site;
- Locate Library at west end of Frances Anderson Center;
- Provide an element/character of focus for total complex;
- Plaza lids for maximizing usable -space are desirable;
- Library shall have expansion space.
Construction Methods and Siting:
- Ideal siting for sloped property gives balanced cut and fill
with program and budget considerations taken into account.
Majority of this structure requires minimal excavation.
Page 3
c. Solar Considerations:
Building siting and orientation allows for north, south and west
exposures.
Generally, the Anderson Center Library shall be disposing of excess
heat gain a majority of the time.
Heat input shall be required when temperatures go below 360
.
- 1945 to 1972, on a monthly average this has occured four times,
1947; 1949; 1957; 1969, in January only.
Our design incorporates features to relieve summer sun heat build-up
and allows winter sun heat capture.
The majority of our energy consumption will be providing the required
lighting levels and then controlling the heat generated by the lighting
system with a heat pump. The heat pump will have an economizer cycle
that will use outside air as a cooling assist.
d. View:
Views and vistas from site and within building have been maximized
as is feasible.
View and vista impact without the site has been minimized as is
feasible and still meet program demands..
e. Height:
Maximum height of new building is 30 feet. Meeting room on top of
Library proper is the only high element and represents 15% of the
total new building area.
Height limits for present OS zone and requested RS-6 zone is 25'-0".
The existing Anderson Center building is 3 stories, 40 feet high.
f. Parking:
Two parking areas have been designated. Both allow for handicapped
circulation. Location of the two parking areas have been chosen to
best serve Anderson Center and Library as a total complex and in a
cost effective manner.
The parking area on Durbin Way will have two-way circulation with
ingress and egress to Main Street and Dayton Avenue.
The parking area between the new Library and the existing building
will ingress and egress on Dayton Avenue only.
Page 4
g. Proposed Building Materials:
Library on one level will be slab on grade, cast -in -place concrete
frame. Roof decking is proposed to be concrete plank with topping
slab. Meeting room will be steel frame.
Interior partitions will be metal studs with lath and plaster finish.
Window walls will be insulated glass.
Exterior walls will be metal studs with 3-coat plaster finish.
Interior will have a suspended ceiling system with fluorescent
lighting.
Carpeting will be the major flooring material with the exception of
hard surface materials in high use and high traffic areas.
Wood louvers will provide sun control.
Plaza finish will be textured pavers.
Library will satisfy State and local energy code requirements.
4. Zoning - present zoning is open space. RS-6 is proposed.
5. Cost estimate (see enclosure).
6. Design and construction schedule (see memo dated 12/11/80 from Jim Jessel
for schematic outline presentation).

SUBJECT: DECEMBER 6, 1980 DISCUSSION OF AUDITORIUM SIZE AT THE
ANDERSON CENTER LIBRARY
As requested at the December 2 City Council meeting the following
provides background information for the determination of the
auditorium size at the new library. It should be noted the word
auditorium is misleading in that most uses within this space will
be for library and meeting functions and thus will normally only
be available for weekend uses. Also, the proposed 2,200 square
feet (interior) space is within the project budget. A larger
meeting room/auditorium would necessitate a budget reduction in
some other space to the tune of approximately $80 per square feet.

SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF CONTRACT FOR GEOTECHNICAL
STUDY FOR ANDERSON CENTER LIBRARY
Attached is the geotechnical (soils testing) contract
with GeoEngineers, Inc., of Bellevue, for the Anderson
Center Library Project.
GeoEngineers' proposal was superior, yet less expen-
sive than the other proposals received.
Arai/Jackson prepared the "request for proposals" and
our Public Works Department rated the proposals.
This, not to exceed $3,600, fee will come from the
Library Fund.
I recommend that this contract be executed.

8. Evaluation of existing fills which may remain after site grading and
recommendations for upgrading or replacing these fills,if and, as
appropriate.
9. Provision of recommendations for floor slab and pavement support.
Our inspection of the site indicates that the present grades have been es-
tablished by minor cutting and filling. The thickness of fills appears to be
fairly limited and could generally be explored satisfactorily using test pit
explorations. However, because of the extensive pavement across the playground
area and in the tennis courts, we have concluded that it is not practical to use
backhoe explorations for this site. Therefore, we are recommending a program of
shallow test borings to evaluate subsurface soil conditions.
We anticipate that the site will be underlain by competent glacially consol-
idated soils immediately beneath existing fills. We propose to explore subsurface
conditions by drilling two borings immediately adjacent to the existing school
building to provide information for the excavation and retaining wall design and
construction criteria along the east side of the library site where below -grade
construction is planned. These borings will be drilled to a depth of approxi-
mately 25 feet each. We will also drill two borings along the westerly side of
the site near Durbin Way. These borings will be located in the area where fills
are indicated to exist and will extend to a depth of about 15 to 20 feet each.
One or two additional borings will be drilled in the central section of the site
to a depth of about 15 feet each to provide further information on the continuity
of the subsurface conditions across the property.
The field investigation will be conducted under the full-time observation of
a representative of our staff. We will obtain relatively undisturbed samples of
the various strata of soils encountered, classify the soils by visual and textural
examination, and maintain a detailed log of each boring. If ground water is en-
countered, observations of water levels will be made during the drilling operation,
and a piezometer may be installed in a representative boring should this be deemed
appropriate. We anticipate that any ground water which exists on the site will
likely be the result of seepage along the surface of the glacially compacted soils
and not indicative of a true water table. Following completion of the borings they
will be backfilled and the surface area cleaned and paving patched so that the area
will be left as close as possible to the condition it ,:as in before o;.r o,erations.
The samples obtained from the borings will be further examined in our office
and, depending on the characteristics of the soils encountered, a limited labora-
tory test program may be accomplished to provide information on the strength,
moisture content and density characteristics of both the fill and natural soils.
Our analyses will use the results of the laboratory and field phases investi-
gation together with our knowledge of the area to determine our conclusions and
recommendations with respect to the scope outlined above. We will provide verbal
reports of our findings as the investigation progresses to both you and the office
of Arai/Jackson so that design work may proceed without delay. Our written report
will confirm the results of our analyses and all previously transmitted informa-
tion and will include the pertinent field and laboratory data.

At the present time we are in a position to begin this investigation within
one week after receiving authorization to proceed. A verbal report on our find-
ings can be made within three to five days after the start of the field phase of
the investigation. Our final report will be available approximately one to two
weeks thereafter.
We propose that our compensation for these services be determined on the
basis of the attached Schedule of Charges and General Conditions, both of which
are a part of this proposal. We estimate that our total charges, including sub-
contracted drilling services, will be in the range of $3,200 to $3,600, depending
upon the extent of drilling accomplished and laboratory testing performed. The
upper limit of this range will not be exceeded without your prior authorization.
If our findings indicate that a change of scope in services is appropriate, we
will contact you promptly to discuss the impact of these changes on schedule and
budget.
We appreciate the opportunity of submitting this proposal and look forward to
serving you on this project. If you have any questions concerning the information
presented above, please contact us. Authorization to proceed may be indicated by
returning one copy of the proposal signed in the space provided below.

Subject: Clarification of the four major items
which must be addressed by Design
Task Force Members
Dear Jim,
We feel clarification to the minutes of the Program Refinement and Plan
Review of October 27, 1980, is required. The minutes did not clearly state
the four major items which must be addressed by the Design Task Force Mem-
bers. The following lists the four major items and explains the direction
which is being pursued at this time.
1. Additional parking; additional parking will be provided by expanding
parking on Durbin Way with a circulation link connecting the parking
with the library.
2. The development of an on -grade access to the library on Main Street.
This item will be studied and incorporated into the project during
the Schematic Phase.
3. The development of two book-drop/patron drop areas, one on Dayton Street
and one on Main Street. This item will be studied and incorporated
in the project during the Schematic Phase.
4. Library internal functional relationship as related to reading and
reference areas. The library staff has furnished the architect with
a drawing showing the desired relationship of reading and reference
areas. This relationship will be incorporated into the project during
the Schematic Phase.

A. Previous Program Review Meeting of October 7, 1980, resulted in
numerous comments from those attending.
B. The previous comments given were incorporated and combined with
the various plan solutions arriving at a single plan answer.
C. Program Refinement Plan was presented for review and comment.
D. The drawings presented were pre -schematic and represented only
broad relationships and concepts. These relationships and con-
cepts will change during the schematic phase as the elements of the
project are analyzed and defined to a greater extent.
2. Architect presented Program Refinement Plan on a step-by-step assess-
ment.
A. Pedestrian and traffic site circulation.
B. Existing building and new construction interaction.
C. Public plazas and entry courts.
D. Existing building and library; parking relationships.
E. Public utilities, circulation and security.
F. Building massing and sitting in relation to access, use and existing
vista corridors.
G. Internal building functional relationships.
1. Public to stacks, audio visual, magazine storage, auditorium, etc.
2. Staff to public.
3. Staff to library service.
4. Staff to stacks, audio visual, magazine storage, auditorium, etc.
3.- Results of each step presented:
A. Pedestrian and traffic site circulation.
1. There was general agreement for maximizing separation of pedestrian
and auto traffic. Main Street is pedestrian access and Dayton is
auto access.
2. On -site parking should not be encumbered with an associated book
drop or pedestrian drop. Book and pedestrian drop should be sep-
arate from and nothinder traffic flow in parking facility.
3. It was considered desirable to develop an entry to library at
grade level on Main Street in addition to the entry at the main
plaza.
4. Members attending felt it would be desirable to develop a patron
drop-off/book-drop area on both Main Street and Dayton Avenue.
B. Existing building and new construction.
1. The consensus was favorable concerning omitting the existing roof
top entry plaza to the Frances Anderson Cultural Center and re-
taining the main entry to the center on Main Street.
C. Public plaza and entry courts.
1. The members attending liked the feeling of the main entry plaza
and its relationship to the library, auditorium and existing
building. The location of auditorium on the main entry plaza
level above the library was met with favorable reaction.
D. Existing building and library parking relationship.
1. The location of parking between the library and existing building
was acceptable to members, some concern was expressed about
joint use of the parking by both the cultural center and the
library because of the limited number of parking available.
2. Parking on Durbin Way was considered too remote from the library
entry at the main entry plaza. Members felt it would be desir-
able to develop a covered passage from parking on Durbin Way to
the library entry, possibly by means of a tunnel connecting the
parking with the elevator entry lobby at the library.
3. The total number of parking spaces, 52 cars, was questioned. It
was decided the parking would be reviewed with the Edmonds Planning
Department.
E. Internal building functional relationship
1. The general layout of functional relationships as presented was
acceptable. Exception was taken for the relationship of the
reading areas and the location of the reference area. It was
felt that the reference area was too close to the entry of the
library.
2. Some members expressed the opinion that they felt the audio
visual room did not need to be totally enclosed by partitions,
that it would be more flexible if the audio visual room was open
space adjacent to the main desk area.
3. Members expressed the opinion that audio visual room location
next to the conference room was good relationship since it pro-
vided the possibility of using the audio visual room as projec-
tion room area for the conference room.
4. Summary
A. Covered entry to library from Durbin Way parking.
1. The parking requirements were reviewed with the City of Edmonds
Planning Department and it was determined that, according to the
Code, no additional parking stalls would be required for the ex-
isting building if it is not to be enlarged or the use is not
to be changed. The number of stalls required for the library
would be 80, based on a ratio of one space for 250 square feet and
a proposed library size of 20,000 square feet.
2. In order to meet the above requirements, the office of Arai/
Jackson prepared two parking schemes with cost comparisons.
One scheme with the parking under the library and another scheme
with expanded parking on Durbin Way with a connecting tunnel
from Durbin Way to the elevator lobby at the library. These
schemes were given to the Owner for review and determination
which scheme shall be used.
B. Development of additional entry to library at grade on Main Street:
1. This will be studied and incorporated in the project during -the
schematic phase.
C. Development of the book-drop/patron drop-off areas, one on Main
Street and one on Dayton Street:
1. This will be studied and incorporated in the project during the
schematic phase.
2. The possible use of a turn -in drive book-drop/patron drop-off
on Main Street will be studied and reviewed with the City of
Edmonds Planning and Traffic Departments.
D. Library internal functional relationship.
1. The architects were provided a drawing by library staff members
showing the desired relationships of the reading and reference
areas. These relationships will be incorporated into the sche-
matic library plans.
2. The relationship and the layout of the audio visual room shall
be studied and analyzed by the architects with further functional
input by library staff members.
E. Public utilities, circulation and security.
1. Members felt the visual control of the restroom area was limited,
this problem can be eliminated by adding more glass at the wall
separating the restrooms and the main desk area.
2. The size of the toilet rooms and the number of toilet room fix-
tures were questioned. The final size and number of toilet room
fixtures shall be determined by interpretation of the code require-
ments by the City of Edmonds Building Department.
3. The question of whether the parking area between the library and
cultural center should be secured during late night hours was
raised. It was decided that it would be difficult to achieve
and would even hamper police surveillance, not allowing the
police cars to drive through the parking area.
F. Building massing and siting in relation to access, use and existing
vista corridors.
1. The general massing and siting of the library building was met
with approval by the members attending. Some reservation was
expressed concerning the elevation of the library floor. It was
felt the library floor elevation was not high enough to maximize
the view to the west of the site. It was stated by the archi-
tects that it was felt the elevation would be adequate. It was
also pointed out that it would be costly to further elevate the
library floor because of additional fill material under the library
would be required and that the increased height of the library
would begin to adversely affect the view from the cultural center.

SUBJECT: CORRECTION TO MEMO FROM JIM JESSEL AND LETTER FROM
CLIFF JACKSON DATED OCTOBER 29, 1980
Apparently there was a misinterpretation of the parking requirements
which were the subject of our communication of October 28, 1980.
In our letter of that date it was stated that there would be no
additional parking stalls required to serve the existing building. It
was also indicated that 80 stalls would be required to serve a
20,000 square foot library. Therefore, there would be a requirement
of 80 new stalls, as well as some consideration for the parking
serving the existing building.
I trust that you will amend your specifications to reflect this
correction.

On October 10, I reviewed the staff comments on Arai/
Jackson's program documents. These comments displayed
an extremely perceptive view of our future library and
its parking and siting needs. The Library Board's
comments were especially thorough.
The Team's effort will enable Arai/Jackson to present
a very refined program document at the October 27

the reasons for narrowing the choice down to three design
schemes, B, C & D, was given by the architect.
3. Comments by the Design Task -Force members on the three design
schemes, B, C & D, requested by the architects; the following
is a summary of comments and reactions to the three schemes.

SCHEME C
A. Some reservation was given concerning the use of level changes
within the library. The feeling was this would cause opera-
tional and flexibility problems.
B. Advantages and disadvantages were given concerning using
existing restrooms in the existing cultural/recreation center
for the new library facility. The fors and against split
about equal, some felt this would be a control problem and
would adversely affect operations of daycare center, while
others liked the idea of the restrooms being remote and not
a library maintenance problem. In addition, construction
savings would be possible by not providing restrooms in the
library facilities. A definite yes or no will be given at a
later date.
C. The Task Force members liked the idea of parking under the
building, because it was completely covered and reduced the
walking required for entry into the library.
- D. Reservations were expressed for public use of elevators in
relation to vandalism. Maximum observation capabilities are
a necessary requirement for both elevator and public restrooms.
SCHEME B
A. Negative reactions were expressed about the parking location
on Scheme B. Members did not like the location because the
majority of the parking was remote and only a small portion
was covered.
B. Reservations were expressed concerning the proposed demoli-
tion of the northwest portion of the existing daycare wing.
Members felt the cost of demolition and the loss of existing
space would outweigh the desirability of the visual and uni-
fying design effect.
C. Reservations were expressed concerning the use of reflective
pools as design elements because of previous experience with
pool vandalism.
SCHEME D.
A. Negative reactions were expressed concerning the location of
the bookdrop at the rear of the parking garage. Members con-

sidered the area isolated and open to possible vandalism.
Also, a potential parking garage traffic flow conflict would
exist because of standing vehicles at the bookdrop location.
B. The reaction concerning the location of the auditorium on
the roof plaza level above the library was mixed, some members
felt the location would cause adverse control problems, while
others felt the location would not be unreasonable, objection-
able.
C. Members did not like the location of the magazine area near
the entry. Preferably the magazine area would be remote in
order to minimize control and theft problems.
4. Because of the varying reactions and comments on the three design
schemes, it was decided that each member will take a copy of the
program and review the information and design schemes presented
in the Program, and compile a list of comments on the Program data
and design concept schemes. Copies of comments will be given to
Jim Jessel on Friday, October 10, 1980. Jim Jessel will forward
comments to architects for review and determination of design
parameters.
5. A meeting of the Design Task Force will be scheduled to review
comments made by members and approve design parameters as deter-
mined by architects.

Manager
Planning Division
SUBJECT: PROPOSED PROCEDURE FOR ADMINISTRATION OF SIGN CODE
UPON RECEIPT OF COMPLAINT
Since there are several different types of signs, it seems appropriate
to establish a course of action to follow for violations in each of
the categories. The sign categories and suggested procedures are:
General signs, which do not meet the Code requirements for one
reason or another.(over size, improper location,
etc.)
Step 1. Send letter (Standard form) advising the owner
t at there is a problem with the sign and
advising them to remove the sign or, if
applicable, to apply to the ADB for approval
of the sign, within ten days. An ADB
application would be included with the letter.
Step 2. Telephone the owner, if no action has been
taken, to inquire as to their intent.
Step 3. Turn the matter over to City Attorney, if
there has been no action after the initial
letter and the follow-up phone call.
Prohibited signs,including sandwich board signs.
Step 1. Telephone or visit owner and advise them of
problem. If it's a portable sign, owner
should be able to remove it within 24 hours.
Step 2. Follow-up letter (standard form) reiterating
problem and enclosing code section.
Step 3. Turn the matter over to City Attorney to send
'Letter and then to low up_ with their standard
procedure.
Campaign signs, or other temporary signs which do not meet the code
or are left up beyond the specified time.
Step 1. Telephone or visit owner and advise them of
problem (if possible to obtain phone number or
location). Request that sign or signs be
removed within 24 hours.

Memo to Harve H. Harrison
Paee 2 - November 6, 1980
Step 2. Send letter (standard form) if sign is not
removed as a result of phone call.
Step 3. Turn the matter over to City Attorney for
further action as necessary.
If, upon receiving a complaint, we followed these procedures
consistently, using standard form letters, the administration of the
sign code would be less troublesome for everyone concerned.
We are hoping to avoid some future problems by distributing a revised
letter to business license applicants, at'the time they apply, advising
them of general sign code requirements.

SUBJECT: PROGRESS REPORT - LIBRARY
Per our operating procedure, attached is the monthly summary/
progress report for the Library Project. Most of this month's
work involved tours and critiques of other, similar -sized
libraries. Also attached is an updated schedule which compares
our accelerated project design and construction schedule with
that of a normal project.
At the September 16th Council Meeting, it was suggested that
Bill Kasper and/or Ray Gould attend the regular project team
meetings. I think their attendance will be very important in
providing a sounding board for this extremely dynamic and visible
project.
Our next team meeting (review of preliminary schematics) is
scheduled for October 7, at 10:00 a.m., at the Frances Anderson
Center.

2. Roof top plaza sound transmission. Architect relates, Generally, consider-
ations for roof top plaza sound assessments.
A. An acoustical engineer shall be employed to assist in the sound barrier
design.
B. Sound source potential:
- roof top plaza
- street traffic
- interior user generated.
C. It is practically impossible to eliminate all exterior sound intrusion,
roof top or traffic. A balance of an economically feasible solution
and an acceptable noise level must be arrived at, i.e., removing all
potential heavy impact noise transmission from the roof top plaza is
improbable, however, damping ordinary foot traffic is possible. We
will be able to control street traffic noise. However, buses, trucks,
etc., will in all probability be more of a disturbing noise generator
than roof top traffic.
3. Architect suggests discussion of library tour analysis to assist us in
program determination.
4. Redmond Librar analysis and discussion.
Library Board �(L.B.) feels large interior structural cols take up to much
room, cut down visual control, and contribute to wasted circulation space
and reduces flexibility.
i
5. More storage space required for reserve return books 8' 3 shelves provided.
6. Access around entry desk constricted. This is main traffic flow around main
entry desk, also main traffic flow from reference and stacks to work room.
An unworkable bottleneck has thus been created.
7. Visual control, sight lines are nortdesirable at Redmond, but are excellent
at Kent. Kent has small internal structural supports and all higher shelving
is at perimeter of reading area.
8. The L.B. felt the Redmond Library was somewhat depressing to be in - could
have been lower ceiling heights. The bottom of beams were at about 8'
lighting system not very effective, apparently low light levels. Light
level could however be attributed to many lamps being burned out. Relamp-
ing is very difficult, taking a special lift for fixture access.
9. L.B. felt Kent Library was in general a far superior facility to the three
other buildings. There was better overall function, feeling, staff control,
and an overall cleanliness and organization.
10. The exposed aggregate at the Bellevue entry was an acceptable solution to
that particular high traffic area.
11. From L.B.:
A. Good sight lines and visual control more desirable than quiet, separate
reading areas.
B. Function more important than clutter, i.e., Ballard Library relation of
work room to main desk is wide open giving good traffic circulation and
visual control. However, all clutter of work room is visible to public.
C. Carpet is a highly desirable floor finish.
D. A flexible power grid is desirable.
E. Work room finish can be spartan, however, carpet on floor is desirable.
F. Private visual control of stacks and main desk from Librarian office is
desirable.

We were contacted Thursday by the firms of Kinderfather, Chaffos, Dunn, PS,
and Warren LaFon, Architects, concerning their idea of bringing together
all of the principal local consulting firms in the community to undertake
the design of the new City library.
We wholeheartedly and enthusiastically support this concept. Having
worked with both of these firms in the past, we believe that this arrange-
ment will provide the City with a substantial amount of architectural capa-
bility and expertise and, perhaps, most important, a high degree of local
interest and insight into the needs and desires of the community.
It is somewhat unusual for local consulting firms to join together to
undertake a project such as this and believe it reflects the substantial
interest these firms have in serving this community, and provides a unique
opportunity to the City. We would hope that the City allows them the
opportunity to present their qualifications and approach in undertaking this
important community project.
Very truly yours,

RE: PROPOSED NEW LIBRARY FACILITY
Gentlemen:
It is our understanding that the City of Edmonds has had a
Feasibility Study completed for the construction of a new
Library Facility. We further understand that the Architect
who made the study, Arai/ Jackson, has completed his con-
tract, and we therefore feel that the project is available.
The offices of Warren LaFon and Kinderfather Chaffos Dunn
have agreed to joint venture this project. We would hire
local consultants, whose interests, like ours, are for the
continued development of Edmonds.
We would appreciate being considered for the project. Please

MEMO TO: Harve H. Harrison, Mayor
City Council members
FROM: John LaTourelle
SUBJECT: LIBRARY EXPANSION
The City Council asked the staff to look at the possibility of
expanding the Library at the present location. The problem was
discussed at some length in staff meeting and several things were
immediately apparent:
1. A library of the size that has been proposed in the past
(20,000 square feet) could not be built at the Civic Center
site without demolishing the annex buildings and going to
two floors. The present library building is 7,056 square
feet with eleven parking spaces in the lot on the east side
of the Community Development annex. Tripling the floor space
and providing the increased parking space would require the
entire southern half of the Civic Center block.
2. A much smaller addition, say 5,000 square feet plus parking,
could be accomodated by adding on to the east and west ends
of the present building.
3. There are a number of other options that might provide a good
solution to the long range development of the Library and Civic
Center complex. Some of these might be:
a. Expand the Library to the south, east, and west; demolish
the Finance and Community Development annexes and relocate
the Finance building and Planning Department elsewhere.
b. Expand the Library to the east and north, connecting to
the present east end of City Hall. Relocate the Police and
Fire Departments elsewhere.
C. Relocate city offices to the Anderson Center site and convert
the entire Civic Center to library use.
d. Relocate the Library to another site and consolidate
Planning, Building and Public Works in the present library.
These and other options should be explored in some detail so that
the City can make a well reasoned decision for the long range develop-
ment of the Civic Center.

To accomplish this, we recommend that the City undertake a study
of the Civic Center complex as a whole and all the alternatives.
After preparing a detailed scope of work and reviewing the proposal
responses from potential contractors,we will be able to determine
the cost of such a study and time required to complete it.

MEMO TO: City Department Heads May 9, 1979
FROM: Kathy Turner
Edmonds Librarian
RE: ESTABLISHING A COMMUNITY RESOURCE CENTER AT LIBRARY
What is a Community Resource Center? Simply a place in the library that brings
together information about the community. Of special interest is information on
current issues of concern to citizens as individuals and as groups.
Somewhere I read a rather lofty statement of purpose for a CRC: "to bring together
the strengths of libraries and agencies to meet their community's needs for informa-
tion; to develop sound action plans for cooperative efforts that employ available
resources; to meet expanding client needs with cooperative projects that tap available
funding sources; to develop realistic solutions to shared or unique problems; and to
improve the performance of information and referral activities."
Things to include: zoning map of community, covered with acetate so that it can be
temporarily marked to indicate proposed developments, downzones,
meeting places, or other areas of current concern to citizens.
copies of census tracts
archboards posting notices of City's public hearings concerning
land use issues, building variance applications, City Council
hearings, Planning Commission actions, etc.
periodicals on grantsmanship, foundations, community -oriented
journals; anything the City might take that's appropriate (keep
most current issue in Dept., pass rest on to library)
policies, regulations, current issues, funding sources, maps
Sound Views?
community -related speeches and handouts; farm produce maps
peop36 file, skills, organizations directories
Organized under these possible headings:
Local Government/Edmonds--City Council minutes, etc.
Land Use/Zoning--citizens' quide to zoning regulation. and
„r am,..,.,. _.,, .r �,..., ', I rn- procedures
TrArisportation/Traffic--bits and train schedules;
materials on parking, innovative methods of transportation
Housing --tenants' rights, housing rehabilitation, alternative housing
People --individuals who can aid
Conservation/Environment--energy, energy research and alternatives,
air/water quality, noise pollution, preservation of open spaces
Crime Prevention
Business/Economic Development
Funding Information - Foundations
Recreation --bike path maps, etc.
Schools
Legislation4-local, state, and national pertaining to neighborhoods

SUBJECT: ACCEPTANCE OF REHABILITATION AND PRESERVATION OF
EDMONDS CARNEGIE LIBRARY AND ESTABLISH 30-DAY

The City Council at their meeting of October 24, 1978, authorized
the execution and acceptance of the Bid and Contract Documents
for the rehabilitation and preservation of the Edmonds Carnegie
Library. The restoration has been satisfactorily completed
and inspected.
We, therefore, request that Council accept the work as complete,
and establish the 30-day retainage period.

Dear Harve,
The members of the Library Board are aware that you will begin work on bond
issue priorities November 14th. After meeting with experts to consider various
alternatives for funding a new library building, we came to the conclusion that
the most realistic solution would be to pass a bond issue for the complete project.
Therefore, at a special meeting November 6th, we moved and seconded that, "We, the
Library Board of the City of Edmonds, propose to the City Council that a separate
proposition be provided within the general bond issue to cover the total cost of
a finished library building as proposed in the Bailey Plan."
The existing library building is nearly 20 years old, and was built to serve
Edmonds when it had a population of 8,000. Today, with a population of 27,600,
Edmonds is the largest town served by Sno-Isle Regional Library. Edmonds Library
ranks sixth in size on a square -foot basis, but it has ranked second in circulation
since Lynnwood Library was opened in 1971. Currently, the City of Lynnwood is
planning a bond issue that will expand its library to 20,000 square feet.
We are concerned that we are less able to meet the needs of Edmonds citizens
each year as the population increases. In particular, we need to provide a better
business, professional, and trades reference section; a larger selection of special
materials such as large print books for the visually handicapped and foreign langu-
age books; quiet areas for study and browsing; more meeting room space; more display
and stack space for periodical subscriptions, fiction, and non-fiction; more room
for municipal documents and codes; and more non -book items storage. We share with
the City the problem of overcrowded space for the behind -the -scenes work that must
be done to keep the Library running smoothly. And perhaps our most extreme need
is for patron parking, since the Library currently struggles by with 11 spaces and
some street parking.
For these reasons we are seeking your support of our above proposal to build
a new and larger library building. Members of the Library Board will be present
at your November 14th meeting to answer any questions you might have. Thank you
for your consideration.
Sincerely yours,
(Mrs.) Sh rliY
