6.1.a
The mission of the Edmonds Historic Preservation Commission is to promote historic preservation and encourage the owners of historically significant
properties to voluntarily add them to the Edmonds Register of Historic Places in order to raise awareness and appreciation of local history.
The Edmonds Historic Preservation Commission maintains the Edmonds Register of Historic Places, listing sites that have been formally designated
historic places in Edmonds. To apply to be on the Register, simply download the application form. If you have questions or need help completing the fi
contact the Commission and a member will be glad to help you. Completed applications may be mailed or dropped off at the Edmonds Planning Divisi
There are a number of potential benefits available to properties listed on the Edmonds Register of Historic Places. These include:
• Pride in Preserving a Piece of Edmonds' History. It is important to preserve the historic character of Edmonds for future generations to enjoy.
Registering your historic building helps to preserve this heritage and ensures that the "small town" feeling of Edmonds will endure. All properties li;
on the Edmonds Register receive special recognition by the City Council and display a bronze plaque recognizing their historic value.
• Special Tax Valuation: Qualifying rehabilitation costs maybe deductible from the assessed value of your property for 10 years. This means that yo
may qualify for a financial break after the restoration of your historic property.
• Building Code Relief: Special building codes — such as the Existing Buildings Code — may be used in the remodeling or alteration of historic
buildings. These codes provide more flexibility for historic buildings in meeting current code standards.
• Zoning Code Relief: In certain zones, more flexibility may be granted to buildings on the Edmonds Register of Historic Places when portions of thf
building don't conform to existing zoning standards. More flexibility is also granted to enable the restoration or rebuilding of an historic building wl
it doesn't otherwise meet current zoning codes.
• National Register Benefits: Properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places are eligible to obtain benefits for fagade easements or
rehabilitation tax credits. These benefits may result in tax deductions or credits that can significantly benefit the historic property owner.

Shirley Johnson Property Donation
Staff Lead: Angie Feser
Department: Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services
Preparer: Angie Feser
Background/History
Long-time Edmonds resident Shirley Johnson has generously gifted to the City her private property
located at 9309 Bowdoin consisting of 1.14 acres of single-family residential land adjacent to Yost Park.
(Attachment #1 - Aerial Graphic Map) Ms. Johnson passed away in January of this year and, at this time,
the Estate has been settled. The property has improvements including non -occupiable house and some
additional outbuildings that are in poor condition. It is relatively flat, with a slight downhill slope from
the southeast to the northwest and consists of mostly open areas with a small number of large trees.
The small house, several outbuildings and a considerable number of personal items will become
property of the City once title is transferred. Currently the house and an outbuilding are secured and the
site has had some minimal landscape maintenance through the summer.
The gifted property was conditioned per the Last Will and Testament of Shirley Johnson (Attachment #2
- Johnson Will) including a purpose clause which states that the property is given to the City "specifically
for purposes of being used as a park and/or a community garden site and/or to cultivate and grow
plants, fruits, vegetables and other related things all for the City of Edmonds and for the citizens of
Edmonds and the local community as the City of Edmonds deems best in their discretion."
The July 6, 2021 Appraisal values the property at $350,000 based on the deed restriction limiting the use
of the property to park/public use. The appraisal noted, however, a prior unfulfilled agreement
estimated the value to total $1.5M based on valuation of the property's development rights of about six
potential residential lots.
There were expenditures settling the Estate totaling $46,532 including attorney fees, back taxes and title
insurance, which the City has agreed to cover.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends the Parks & Public Works Committee advance this item to September 21, 2021
Regular Council Meeting for consideration of Council to accept the donation of the Shirley Johnson
property located at 9309 Bowdoin Way in Edmonds.
Narrative
This donated acquisition supports two goals of the 2016 Parks, Recreation and Open Space (PROS) Plan
The Plan's Goal #2 is to provide an interconnected park system that offers a wide variety of year-round
recreation opportunities and experiences in harmony with Edmonds' cultural identity and the natural
Packet Pg. 18
6.2.a
environment; and Goal #4 is to preserve and provide access to natural resource lands for habitat
conservation, recreation, and environmental education. This property provides opportunity to advance
these goals by connecting to and supporting Yost Park and providing year -around access in this natural
environment as well as providing for additional habitat conservation and significant environmental
education due to historic uses of gardening and farming.
