Historic Preservation Commission Meeting Minutes September 14, 2023 Page 1 of 3 Packet Pg. 3 1.a NEW BUSINESS Commissioner Preston recommended replacing the Land Acknowledgement and the Flag Salute with the Commission's mission statement because that is why they are here and it would be good to be reminded of it at each meeting. Motion made by Commissioner Preston to replace the Land Acknowledgment and the Flag Salute with the Commission's mission statement and major responsibilities. The motion died for lack of a second. UNFINISHED BUSINESS Miscellaneous r _ • Calendar — Vice Chair Spencer said Chair Vogel had indicated it would be good if all commissioners could do at least two to three months' worth of information for the calendar and get it to Commissioner ° Kelly. o • A proposed newsletter has been provided to the Commission. Vice Chair Spencer asked for any a feedback. There was none. a • Walking Tour — Chair Vogel is in charge of this. They will follow up on this when he returns. 2. Continued Discussion of Research, Projects, and Events • Vice Chair Spencer asked for updates on the items on the docket - the Palmer House, 116 - 4t' Avenue North, and another site down near where the Safeway used to be. Ms. Szafran explained she would be leaving the City as of next week so someone else will be taking those over. She noted that the City still does not have a professional on board so they are still having to loop Michelle from the State in for the hearing based on her availability. It might be possible to bring these forward in November, but it is not clear yet. She noted that there would be no meeting in October. Senior Planner Mike Clugston commented that Amber Brokenshire will be replacing Ms. Szafran as the liaison for the HPC. The intent is to bring the docket items to the HPC in November. He is not sure how many they are able to handle at one meeting. • Calendar — There was discussion about continuing to use the FTP site to upload photos and content for the calendar. ACTION ITEMS None COMMISSION CHAIR COMMENTS Vice Chair Spencer asked for an idea of where commissioners would like to see the group go next year. He would like to get more items on the agenda for the Register and get a feel for how many staff can handle. Is five too many? Ms. Szafran thought that was manageable. Councilmember Teitzel asked about adding businesses in addition to homes. Is Engel's Pub on the Register? Vice Chair Spencer did not think it was. He added that he is trying to get the theater on the Register and another home in his neighborhood on the corner of 76d' and 176d. Historic Preservation Commission Meeting Minutes September 14, 2023 Page 2 of 3 Packet Pg. 4 1.a He is also working on Phillips Court. Commissioner Preston suggested promoting the idea of being on the Register more to the public. COMNUSSIONER COMMENTS Commissioner Raetzloff noted that hearings usually take between 45 minutes and an hour. Some are 30 minutes or less. If they are quick ones, they can do three in a night. Councilmember Teitzel and other commissioners wished Michele Szafran well in her new endeavors and welcomed Amber Brokenshire as the new liaison. Ms. Szafran said she has enjoyed her time here and is ready for a change. ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned at 5:51 p.m. Historic Preservation Commission Meeting Minutes September 14, 2023 Page 3 of 3 Packet Pg. 5 Historic Preservation Commission Agenda Item Meeting Date: 11/9/2023 Public Hearing on 820 Maple Street Historic Nomination Staff Lead: Amber Brokenshire Department: Planning & Development Prepared By: Amber Brokenshire Background/History On June 26, 2023, the city received a nomination form requesting to add the house located at 820 Maple Street to the Edmonds Historic Register (PLN2023-0062). Chapter 20.45 of the Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) outlines the process and criteria for designating properties or districts to the Edmonds Register of Historic Places ("register"). Per ECDC 20.45.020(D), the Historic Preservation Commission must hold a public meeting to consider the merits of the nomination according to the criteria in ECDC 20.45.010. If the commission finds that the nominated property is eligible for the Edmonds register of historic places, the commission must make recommendation to the city council that the property be listed in the register with owner's consent. Staff Recommendation Staff does not recommend including the house at 820 Maple Street on the Edmonds Register of Historic places. Dr. Palmer's House was initially added to the register in 2010 and removed from the register in 2018 due to changes that altered the appearance of the front facade and the removal of historic windows on all gable end facades. Adding the house back to the register, after the HPC denied a certificate of appropriateness for those changes, would be inconsistent with the City's historic preservation ordinance. Narrative A full analysis of the current proposal's consistency with the approval criteria in ECDC 20.45.010 is included in the attached staff report (Attachment 1). Attachments 2 -7 include meeting minutes and documentation from when the house was previously considered by the HPC.

Brokenshire, Associate Planner Staff recommendation: Staff does not recommend including the house at 820 Maple Street on the Edmonds Register of Historic places. Dr. Palmer's House was added to the Register in 2010 and removed from the register in 2016 due to changes that altered the appearance of the front fagade and the removal of historic windows on all gable end facades.

Roof and Roof The roof is steeply pitched side gable style with typical modern composition Features: roof materials. At the second story, a large pedimented, gabled dormer contains a bay window. 3. Openings The front door is located at the east end of the north fagade, while a three - (entries, etc): sided bay window projects at the west end of the north fagade. In 2016, a permit was approved to increase the window openings and replace the windows for all windows on the attic level. However, French doors and a patio were added to the western gable end in 2016, replacing the home's original 24-light fixed windows. The removal of these 24-light fixed windows resulted in the home's removal from the Edmonds Register of Historic Places in 2016. 4. Projections: From the sidewalk, nine concrete steps lead up to a wide set of wood stairs that climb to the full -width front porch on the primary north fagade. The porch is sheltered by the wide bell on the main side -gabled roof, which is supported by three classical columns. 5.

According to Chapter 20.45.040 ECDC, listing on the Edmonds Register of Historic Places is an honorary designation denoting significant association with the historic, archaeological, engineering or cultural heritage of the community. Properties are listed individually or as contributing properties to a historic district. No property may be listed without the owner's permission. Prior to the commencement of any work on a register property, excluding ordinary repair and maintenance and emergency measures defined in Section 20.45.000(H), the owner must request and receive a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Commission for the proposed work. Violation of this rule shall be grounds for the Commission to review the property for removal from the register. Prior to whole or partial demolition of a register property, the owner must request and receive a waiver of a Certificate of Appropriateness. Because Edmonds is a Certified Local Government (CLG), all properties listed on the Edmonds Register of Historic Places may be eligible for a special tax valuation on their rehabilitation. 820 Maple Street Historic Designation Staff Report Page 8 of 8 Packet Pg. 15 #P40 RECEIVED 2.a JUN 2 6 2023 Edmonds mil moon.

It is a well-known historic house, in part because of its visibility and prominent location on a steeply sloping street overlooking the downtown. Because of its early date of construction, it is generally associated with the city's late nineteenth-century development. The house is a largely intact example of the Queen Anne style. Physical description: The lofty siting and broadly flared eaves of this Queen Anne eclectic house make it a prominent feature on Maple Street. From the sidewalk, nine concrete steps lead up to a wide set of wood stairs that climb to the full -width front porch on the primary north facade. The porch is sheltered by the wide bell of the main side -gabled roof, which is supported by three classical columns. The front door is located at the east end of this facade, while a three -sided bay projects at the west end. At the second story, a large pedimented, gabled dormer contains a bay window. A fixed, 24-light fixed window is placed in the gable end. All gable ends of the house are wood -shingled and decorated with exposed, shaped rafter tails. Sheathing on the walls of the house appears non - original.

This upload reduces data entry burden on community volunteers and historical societies participating in the survey and inventory of their communities. The intent of this project is directed specifically to facilitating community and public involvement in stewardship, increasing data accuracy, and providing a versatile planning tool to Certified Local Governments (CLGs). Currently survey and inventory projects at the local level produce a field form for each property surveyed and include digital photographs. Volunteers doing the survey track down and manually enter all the owner, parcel, and legal data manually. Manual data entry diminishes accuracy and quantity of resources volunteers can survey. Recognizing this, DAHP uploaded building data for each Certified Local Government (CLG) on properties that were built in or before 1969 to provide an accurate and comprehensive baseline dataset. Volunteers doing survey work need only to verify data, add in photographs and extent of alterations and architectural style data, as well as expand upon the physical description and significance statement as new data is collected. For planning purposes, the attrition rate of properties built in or before 1969 can start to be measured to guide stewardship priorities. Project methodology entailed use of the University of Washington's State Parcel Database (http://depts.washington.edu/wagis/projects/parcels/development.php) to provide the base parcel layer for CLGs. Filtering of building data collected from each county trimmed out all properties built after 1969, as well as all current, previously inventoried properties. Translation of building data descriptors to match fields in HPI allowed the data upload. Calculation of point locations utilized the center of each parcel. Data on this detail provides a snapshot of building information as of2011. A detailed project methodology description resides with DAHP. Project team members: Historic Preservation Northwest, GeoEngineers, and Artifacts Consulting, Inc. (project lead). Physical description: The house at 820 Maple Street, Edmonds, is located in Snohomish County. According to the county assessor, the structure was built in 1915 and is a single family dwelling. The 2- story building has a gable roof clad in asphalt composition shingles. The walls of the single-family form are clad principally in wood over a platform frame structure.

Duncan National Register Coordinator, Division of Historic Preservation A CANDIDATE MUST MEET three requirements to qualify for the National Register of Historic Places, as explained in the February issue of Preservation in Print. Two of these essentials — sig- nificance and age — were covered in that issue. The third qualification — integrity — is the topic of this and the following installments of National Register 101. The National Register defines integrity as the ability of a property to convey its significance. However, "integrity" is a word generally used to describe a person's honesty and sincerity. So, why is a word usually associated with humans used to designate a National Register eligibility requirement? The answer can be found in Webster's New World Dictionary, which adds "completeness" to integrity's defini- tion. Under this broader explanation, buildings, structures, districts, sites and objects can also have integrity. Of the three Register eligibility require- ments, integrity is probably the most complicated and difficult to understand. To simplify things, the National Register staff sometimes tells applicants that integrity means the candidate still has to look historic. However, there are actually seven factors, or "aspects," that must be evaluated to determine if that historic look survives. These aspects are location, setting, design, materials, workmanship, feeling and association. LOCATION is the easiest element of integrity to understand. For National Register purposes, location is the par- ticular point or position where the historic property was constructed, the significant person made his/her contri- bution, or the historic event occurred. Sometimes the relationship between a building and its history is lost if that building is moved from its original site. This is why it is harder to list moved properties on the National Register. To qualify moved candidates must be important to a broader region or group than those associated with the original site. The National Park Service consid- ers original locations so important that it automatically delists (removes from the Register) properties moved to new sites subsequent to their listing. SETTING refers to the character of the place where the historic resource is located. It includes natural and man- made features and how those features relate to the candidate. Items to con- sider include buildings, dependencies, roads, paths, fences, vegetation, open space, topographical characteristics and view sheds. The latter include the views from the candidate as well as of the candidate from nearby properties. For a setting to have integrity for National Register purposes, it should appear much as it did historically. The tower on this Lake Charles Victorian resi- dence is an important part of its design. Were it to be lost, the home's National Register design integrity would be severely compromised DESIGN is broadly defined by the National Register as "the combination of elements that creates the form, plan, space, structure, and style of a prop- erty." Elements the Register considers when evaluating design integrity include function, structural systems, other tech- nologies, spatial organization, massing, proportion, scale, materials, color, tex- ture and fenestration patterns. Design is not limited to the work of architects. Community planners, engineers and landscape architects have also created designs that might be Register -eligible. If enough of the resource's original particular period of time." To have the aspect of feeling, a candidate must have surviving physical features that express its historic character and help the visitor experience an awareness of its history and importance. ASSOCIATION is defined by the National Register as "the direct link sbetween an important historic event 0 „ or person and a historic property." =Association relies upon two factors. g First, the site must be the actual place o where something happened. Second, Here, the setting (tombstones, paths, fences that relationship must be evident when a and trees) reinforces an observer's sense visitor observes the site. This connection that Grace Episcopal Church in St. Francis- ville is indeed historic. can occur only if the property's historic physical features, or character, survive. design has been lost, the property will Only when one understands the not meet this aspect of integrity. seven aspects of integrity can one rf d' MATERIALS are "the physical ele- d d h h menns that were combined or deposited during a particular period of time and in a particular pattern or configura- tion to form a historic property." This definition is complicated because it has to cover archaeological as well as architectural and historical candidates. For the purposes of nominating build- ings, materials should be defined as the original wood, nails, shingles, tiles, glass, and/or other substances the builders used to create the historic resource. To have integrity, a property must retain its character -defining exterior materials. Sometimes interior integrity of material is needed as well. WORKMANSHIP "is the physical evidence of the crafts of a particular cul- ture or people during any given period `o_ in history or prehistory," according to the Register. A craft is an occupation re- quiring special skill, and workmanship refers to the quality of the craftsman's o product. Extraordinary workmanship om might be evident in tooling, carving, painting, graining, turning or joinery. e It can be found in vernacular as well ° as high style resources and can include tthe product of one or multiple crafts- men. Finally, it can apply to an entire resource or any of its parts. FEELING is a "property's expression of the aesthetic or historic sense of a etermme a cant ate as enoug integrity to qualify for Register listing. However, evaluating these factors is more complicated than their definitions might suggest. Next month's article will discuss applying the aspects to conduct an integrity evaluation. Much of this article is based upon the National Register Bulletin titled "How to Apply the National Register Criteria for Evaluation," which is available online at http://www.nps.gov/histoTy/nr/publica- tions/bulletins/pd fs/nrb 15.pdf. This stained glass window is proof of the skill and talent of the craftsman who designed assembled and installed it in Lake Charles's Temple Sinai c. 1903. Since it is unaltered it retains its integrity ofworkmanship. The Ascension Parish home of 20th-century literary figure Robert Penn Warren has integrity of as- sociation because he lived there during what scholars regard as a critical period in his life and career. 14 Preservation in Print • March 2011 www.prcno.org ATTACHMENT 2 Packet Pg. 2! 1a36a1:141ale *11y113121IIQ01 NAME OF APPLICANT PROJECT LOCATION: COMMENTS ON PROPOSAL DUE: PUBLIC HEARING CITY OF EDMONDS NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Public hearing before the Edmonds Historic Preservation Commission to determine the eligibility of a home located at 820 Maple Street for listing on the Edmonds Register of Historic Places.

EDH986576 r- Proofed by Phillips, Linda, 10/30/2023 10:15:52 am Page: 2 Packet Pg. 36 2.b Mr. Lien said staff recommends the Commission find the Frances Anderson Cultural Center meets the criteria for designation on the Edmonds Register of Historic Places. Staff believes that both the original 1928 structure and the 1947 and 1952 additions meet the designation criteria as a whole. The exterior of the structure contains the significant architectural features. He provided photographs of the original Edmonds Elementary School. Marilyn Jenkins Johnston, Edmonds, commented that she attended the Edmonds Elementary School, and Frances Anderson was one of her teachers just two years before she retired. Commissioner Waite discussed that sites are typically given their original name when listed on the Register. In this case, the name of the site would be the Edmonds Elementary. They agreed the property should be listed as "The Edmonds Elementary (Frances Anderson Cultural Center)." BOARD MEMBER DEWHIRST MOVED THAT THE COMMISSION RECOMMEND TO THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL OF THE NOMINATION OF THE EDMONDS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL (FRANCES ANDERSON CULTURAL CENTER) FOR PLACEMENT ON THE EDMONDS REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES. BOARD MEMBER ECCLESHALL SECONDED THE MOTION. Commissioner Waite suggested the site could be divided into three units (the original that was built in 1927/1928, the first addition that was done in 1947, and the last addition that was done in 1952). Mr. Lien noted that all three parts of the building were used as the Edmonds Elementary. He expressed concern that because of modifications, the original structure would not likely meet the criteria related to integrity standing on its own. However, the school, as a whole, would meet the criteria. Council Member Plunkett suggested the Commission consider a friendly amendment to the motion to request that the Council President schedule the nomination as a full -council agenda item rather than a consent agenda item. That means the full presentation would be available on the public television channel to highlight the work and talent of the Commission. Mr. Lien noted that although the code does not require it, historically, properties not already on the National and/or State Register have been presented to the City Council for public hearings. It was noted that the nomination is scheduled on the City Council's extended agenda as a public hearing. THE MOTION WAS AMENDED TO INCLUDE A REQUEST THAT THE CITY COUNCIL SCHEDULE THE NOMINATION FOR A PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE THE FULL COUNCIL. Mr. Lien reminded the Commission that, as proposed, only the exterior features of the structure would be listed on the Register. The interior has been updated significantly over the years and would not meet the criteria related to integrity. Commissioner Waite suggested that if the entire structure were designated on the Register, a Certificate of Appropriateness would be required whenever significant changes are made. Mr. McIntosh cautioned against restricting the use of the inside of the building because the functions could be changed over time. Again, Mr. Lien expressed his belief that the interior would not meet the criteria related to integrity. THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. (Note: Council Member Plunkett is not a voting member of the Commission.) PUBLIC HEARING ON AN APPLICATION TO DETERMINE THE ELIGIBILITY OF THE DR. PALMER HOUSE FOR PLACEMENT ON THE EDMONDS REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES Mr. Lien advised that the Dr. Palmer House is located at 820 Maple Street. The property owner has given his authorization for the property to be listed on the Edmonds Register of Historic Places. He briefly reviewed the benefits and requirements of listing a property on the Register. Then he presented the Staff Report and reviewed how the application meets the Designation Criteria. He also reviewed the significant features of the site. (See Staff Report for details). He pointed out that the house is associated with its original owner, Dr. Palmer, an Edmonds dentist, who built it in 1895 and resided in it until 1922. It is a well-known historic house, in part because of its visibility and prominent location on a steeply -sloping street overlooking the downtown. He noted there has been some confusion about when the house was built, but a woman who was Historic Preservation Commission Minutes August 12, 2010 Page 2 Packet Pg. 37 2.b raised in the house, Carol Lowell, indicated there was some scribbling on a beam in the attic of the house that has an 1890 date. Marilyn Jenkins Johnston said she lived in the house from 1950 to 1965, and the attic had open beams. At the end of one of the beams in chalk was written, "The old man digging the ditch, WMW." with an 1894 or 1895 date. They were not allowed to touch the writing. Her family sold the house to Mayor Cooper's father. Mr. Lien said staff believes the nomination meets the criteria and is eligible for designation on the Edmonds Register of Historic Places. The exterior of the structure contains the significant features. Staff recommends the Commission make a recommendation to the City Council that the property be listed on the Register, with consent of the owners. He provided some pictures, one showing the house during construction. He noted that in the picture, Maple Street is a dirt road, and a boardwalk comes out in front of the house. He observed there was not a lot of surrounding development during the early days of the property. Most of the other houses in the area were built in the 1960's and 1990's. Commissioner Eccleshall agreed to research the correct date of construction, but he didn't want to hold the nomination up until his research is completed. Mr. Lien observed that regardless of the exact date, the structure is older than 50-years old, so it meets the designation criteria. Commissioner Waite asked if there is any evidence to indicate the date when the siding was changed. Mr. Lien answered that there are no building permits on record for this change. Ms. Johnston said it had not changed when her family lived in the home until 1965. Mayor Cooper said that, based on the materials, the siding was probably replaced sometime after 1950. Mayor Cooper shared pictures of the structure that were given to his family by Dr. Palmer's granddaughter, one of which was a portrait of the Palmer family. He said that according to his information, in the early years the nearest street to the Palmer House was actually on Dayton Street. And the boardwalk went from Dayton Street to the house. It was the only house on the hill when it was built. Dr. Palmer actually developed a lot of the surrounding properties. He also provided an early picture of the interior of the house and a copy of an article from the Edmonds Snohomish County Historical Society's newsletter that was published after 1984 and talks about the history of the house. He noted that the article identifies 1895 as the date of construction and the scribbling is still present in the attic of the home. Mayor Cooper observed that he is now the second Mayor of Edmonds who has lived in the home. The Ingles family rented the home for a short period of time, and Matt Ingles was both Mayor and the Fire Chief at one time. He stated that in 1999, they remodeled the ground floor in an attempt to restore it to its original design. Board Member Anttila asked if Dr. Palmer actually had his dental practice in the basement of the structure. Mayor Cooper noted that the basement area has a very low ceiling and is really a cellar for the furnace. His understanding is that Dr. Palmer's practice was located elsewhere in Edmonds. He relocated to Seattle because there were two dentists in Edmonds. Marilyn Jenkins Johnston said she has a lot of happy memories in the house with her family. When she lived in the home, they had chickens, geese, and ducks. The Post Office told her mother she had to restrain the geese because they kept chasing after the postmen. There was a pond between the Telford House and the Palmer House, and her mother would use an aluminum pipe to fill the pond so they could swim. The Commission agreed that the Dr. Palmer House should be featured in the next edition of THE PRESERVATIONIST. Commissioner Anttila asked if Mayor Cooper has a good place to post the plaque so it is highly visible. Mayor Cooper noted there are planters down both sides of the steps, and the front of the planters would be at the top of the cement steps, and this would be a good place for a plaque. However, the junipers on both sides of the cement steps may partially block it. COMMISSIONER WAITE MOVED THE COMMISSION FORWARD A RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL TO APPROVE THE DR. PALMER HOUSE FOR INCLUSION ON THE EDMONDS REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES. COMMISSIONER ECCLESHALL SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

The current owners have applied for a building permit for a garage addition, a porch addition, and replacement of four windows on the third floor. David and Margaret Peterson provided an overview of the proposed changes to both the inside and outside of the structure. Mr. Peterson explained that, in addition to replacing four windows on the third floor, they are proposing to remove the asbestos siding to reveal the home's original wood siding. The proposed garage will have a similar architectural detail as the home. Mr. Lien reminded the Board that the proposed modifications will require a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Commission. He referred to the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation of Historic Structures. He summarized that both the garage and porch additions appear to be consistent with the standards, but he has concerns about the windows. He specifically pointed out that: Packet Pg. 44 2.d Windows comprise a considerable amount of the historic fabric and wall plain, and thus, deserve special consideration in a rehabilitation project. The windows were identified in the BOLA Report as part of the defining historic character of the house. The standards do not allow property owners to remove or radically alter the windows, which are important in defining the historic character of the building, in such a way that diminishes the character. That is the big question the Commission must answer. The applicant is proposing to change both the size of the window openings and the style of the windows. Based on precedence set by the Schumacher Building, the Commission could approve the Certificate of Appropriateness as long as the size of the openings is not changed. The standards also recommend against adding false historic character to the building. In addition to changing the size and style of the window, the applicant is proposing to add a design element to the top of the windows. Mr. Lien advised that small additions that do not change the defining character of the building can be allowed. The porch addition will be located at the back corner of the building under the existing eaves, and the shed type roof will differentiate the addition from the sweeping eaves. The Commissioners all voiced support for the applicant's proposal to remove the asbestos siding and restore the original siding and shingles that lie underneath. They also voiced general support for the proposed changes to the south side of the structure (porch and garage), which will not be visible from the street. However, Commissioner Waite voiced concern that the proposed garage design is too much like the historic structure. He explained that the design is supposed to be influenced by the historic structure, but not replicated. Regarding the windows, the Commission discussed the following: Are the Secretary of the Interior's Standards recommendations or mandates? Some Commissioners felt that if the structure was being considered for the State or National Registers, the criteria should be interpreted strictly. However, there is more flexibility for local registers. On the other hand, Commissioner Waite pointed out that the Department of the Interior's Standards are clear and have been in place for a number of years. Disregarding the standards could raise questions about the credibility of the Edmonds Register of Historic Places. While he applauded the Petersons for restoring the original siding, which is an important characteristic of the building, he questioned if that should warrant the Commission's decision to disregard the criteria relative to windows. It was discussed that, although the proposed window alterations are inconsistent with some of the criteria, they would not prevent a future owner from changing the size and style back to the original design at some point in the future. Some felt that the proposed change would not irreparably change the structure and character of the building. The Petersons pointed out that the larger windows are needed to improve the lighting for the living space and to take advantage of the fabulous views. Commissioner Waite explained that the idea of reversibility is generally related to repair, and it is not likely that the original window style and size will be replaced at a future time. He suggested that a skylight could be an alternative to provide additional light. The Commissioners agreed that the structure is very important to the Edmonds Register and it is currently eligible to be included on the National Register, as well. Chair Scott suggested that the Commission consider whether or not the building would have still been added to the Register if the window modifications had occurred prior to listing it on the Register. It was discussed that retaining the structure on the Register would allow the Commission to work with the property owners to maintain the integrity of the building going forward. Commissioner Raetzloff said he believes the Commission would have approved the structure for the Register if the windows had already been changed, but he is still hesitant to support the application as proposed. • Some Commissioners felt the preponderance of historic characteristics and attributes for keeping the structure on the Register far outweigh the windows. Commissioner Deiner-Karr said she does not believe that changing just four windows would have a significant impact on the historic integrity of the building, particularly in light of the applicant's proposal to restore the original siding. Commissioner Waite commented that although the window alterations may not be noticeable to those walking by, the Commission's responsibility is to maintain the historic integrity of structures. Historic Preservation Commission Minutes April 14, 2016 Page 2 Packet Pg. 45 2.d • The Commissioners referred to their earlier action relative to the Schumacher Building. It was pointed out that the current proposal is different in that it would replace iconic windows and the Schumacher Building windows were not original. It was also pointed out that the window openings on the Schumacher Building were not altered. • There was concern expressed that the proposed window design provides too much detail that does not match the windows below. If the details were eliminated, the windows would look more authentic. • The Commission discussed that fire safety requirements may need to be addressed if the upper story is used as bedroom space. It was noted that the windows would need to open, and they can be no higher than 48 inches from the floor. • Chair Scott pointed out that if the applicant replaces the four windows on the upper story as proposed, it is likely the home would no longer be eligible for the State and National Registers. It was explained that because the City is a Certified Local Government, it must follow the State's standards, which are based on the Department of the Interior's Standards. Again, it was suggested that the Department of the Interior's Standards could be interpreted to be recommendations and not mandates. VICE CHAIR VOGEL MOVED THAT THE COMMISSION ISSUE A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS FOR REMOVAL OF THE ASBESTOS SIDING TO REVEAL AND RESTORE THE ORIGINAL FIR SIDING AND CEDAR SHINGLES. COMMISSIONER ALLBERY SECONDED THE MOTION, WHICH CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. VICE CHAIR VOGEL MOVED THAT THE COMMISSION ISSUE A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS FOR THE PORCH ADDITION. COMMISSIONER ALLBERY SECONDED THE MOTION. Commissioner Waite pointed out that no design has been proposed for the porch addition. Mr. Lien said the porch will have a shed roof, which is different than the existing roof. The porch will be located under the eaves, and will not alter any of the significant features of the home. VICE CHAIR VOGEL MOVED TO AMEND HIS MOTION TO CLARIFY THAT THE PORCH ADDITION WOULD BE LOCATED ON THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE STRUCTURE AND THE DESIGN WOULD BE CONSISTENT WITH STAFF'S DESCRIPTION. COMMISSIONER DEINER-KARR SECONDED THE AMENDMENT. THE MOTION TO AMEND WAS UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED. THE MAIN MOTION, AS AMENDED, WAS UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED. VICE CHAIR VOGEL MOVED THAT THE COMMISSION ISSUE A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS FOR THE GARAGE ADDITION AS DESCRIBED IN THE DRAWINGS. COMMISSIONER WAITE SECONDED THE MOTION, WHICH CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Commissioner Deiner-Karr pointed out that the applicant has not finalized the window design. She suggested that the Commission could approve the window modifications based on specific recommendations. For example, the upper windows could be redesigned to remove the embellishments and reflect the design of the existing first and second floor windows. VICE CHAIR VOGEL MOVED THAT THE COMMISSION ISSUE A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS FOR THE PROPOSED MODIFICATIONS TO THE THIRD FLOOR WINDOWS, WITH THE PROVISO THAT EVERY EFFORT BE MADE FOR THE WINDOWS TO REFLECT THE DESIGN AND CHARACTER OF THE EXISTING WINDOWS ON THE FIRST AND SECOND FLOORS. COMMISSIONER DEINER-KARR SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION FAILED 4-2, WITH COMMISSIONERS VOGEL AND DEINER- KARR VOTING IN FAVOR AND COMMISSIONERS RAETZLOFF, ALLBERY, SCOTT AND WAITE VOTING IN OPPOSITION. Historic Preservation Commission Minutes April 14, 2016 Page 3 Packet Pg. 46 2.d Mr. Lien agreed to notify the Peterson's of the Commission's decision and offer direction for how they can modify the proposed window alterations or request that the property be taken off the Register. After speaking with the Petersons, Mr. Lien would send an update to the Commissioners. Commissioner Raetzloff inquired if allowances could be made to accommodate the changing uses of a structure. Mr. Lien answered affirmatively and reviewed the Department of the Interior's Standards that apply to "Alterations and Additions for the New Use." The installation of additional windows on rear or other non -character -defining elevations would be allowed if required by the new use. While the design should be compatible with the overall design of the building, it should not duplicate the fenestration, pattern, detail or character of the defining elevation. READING/APPROVAL OF MINUTES COMMISSIONER RAETZLOFF MOVED TO APPROVE THE MINUTES OF FEBRUARY 11, 2016 AS SUBMITTED. COMMISSIONER DEINER-KARR SECONDED THE MOTION, WHICH CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. REOUESTS FROM THE AUDIENCE There were no audience comments. NEW BUSINESS Discussion and Recommendation on New HPC Schedule Ms. Cunningham suggested that this item be postponed until the Commission's May meeting. She explained that because the City must pay overtime for a staff person to monitor the door during Commission meetings, the City Council has proposed that the Commission change its meeting location and/or time. Staff is still working out the details and will report back to the Commission. Vice Chair Vogel voiced opposition to changing the meeting date to the third Thursday of each month, since that is the day the Arts Commission conducts the monthly Art Walk, which is a major event in Edmonds. Discussion on 2017 Calendar This item was postponed to the next meeting. Preservationist Update Chair Scott reported that Commissioner Raetzloff wrote some great copy that features the First Baptist Church, and she is working to get some different photographs. Civic Playfield Council Member Teitzel reported that the City recently purchased the Civic Playfield and the master plan process will start soon. There has been a lot of discussion about potentially demolishing the grandstands, which are not currently listed on the Register. Chair Scott clarified that the grandstands have been infested with worms, and restoration may no longer be possible. The Commission agreed to recommend that a structural assessment of the structure be done before a final decision is made. Property at 232 Sunset Avenue Commissioner Allbery reported that the home at 232 Sunset Avenue has been sold. She agreed to contact the new owner to discuss adding the property to the Register. ChanEes to the Library Commissioners Waite and Allbery agreed to review the assessment of repairs and alterations that need to be done at the Library facility. The consultant who completed the assessment is interested in ensuring that the modifications are done in a way that preserves the historic quality and character of the building. Because the City owns the building, the Commission agreed that the City has a responsibility to take care of many of the items. Commissioner Waite suggested that the Commission should advise the City relative to the proposed changes to make sure the work is done correctly. The Commission concurred and agreed to review the list in more detail at their next meeting.

REMOVAL OF RESIDENCE LOCATED AT 820 MAPLE STREET FROM THE EDMONDS REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES ITEM 3: RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF SUSTAINABLE CITIES PARTNERSHIP Councilmember Teitzel said he was intrigued by the notion and thought it was a great idea but was concerned with the timing. The City is doing the National Citizens Survey, spending about $19,000 to learn what citizens want the City for focus on. In addition, there are many bright, talented, capable volunteers on City boards and commissions and he preferred to challenge them with taking on some of the items on the list to see if they could accomplish them at little or no cost before committing $100,000. A number of the items are in the Comprehensive Plan Sustainable element, and he preferred to pursue them through that mechanism rather than via the Sustainable Cities Partnership (SCP). He would be interested in pursuing the the SCP if some of the items cannot be accomplished this year via alternative means. For those reasons, he will not support the resolution.

PRESENTATIONS/REPORTS PUGET SOUND STARTS HERE PROCLAMATION Mayor Earling read a proclamation declaring May 2016 as Puget Sound Starts Here Month in Edmonds and encourage all citizens to take action by attending local and regional events and to adopt behaviors in their daily lives to help to protect and clean up Puget Sound and our local waterways. He presented the proclamation to Public Works Director Phil Williams. Mr. Williams referred to Earth Day events in Edmonds and surrounding communities. Large capital projects the City undertakes improve the water quality of Puget Sound as does the wastewater treatment plant but most important are the individual small decisions that City crews and operations staff and residents adjacent to Puget Sound make every day to avoid contaminating stormwater in the first place. On behalf of the City departments involved in water quality, he thanked the Council for the proclamation. 2. EDMONDS CEMETERY BOARD PRESENTATION Dale Hoggins, Cemetery Board, on behalf of the Cemetery Board and Chair Jerry Janacek, invited elected officials and the public to the 32" d Memorial Day Ceremony on May 30 at 11:00 a.m. at the Edmonds Memorial Cemetery and Columbarium to join in honoring the memories of those who died while serving our country during time of war and to say thank you from a grateful nation to all veterans and current military personnel and their families.

EDH69832 C-- Packet Pg. 56 2.g Discussion on New ADnlication for Dr. Palmer House Located at 820 MaDle Street Ms. Cunningham reviewed that the Commission voted to remove the Dr. Palmer House from the Register based on proposed changes that were deemed inappropriate by the Commission. Since then, the Commission has discussed the possibility of listing the site (not the house) on the Register. Commissioner Scott pointed out that the property's historical description was updated based on research done by Edmonds Museum representatives. Commissioner Kelly summarized the new information, particularly facts relative to the home's early occupants. Chair Raetzloff summarized that the property owners are asking that the home be listed on the Register based on its historic occupants rather than the homes historic architecture and appearance. Mr. Chave observed that the property owners purposely changed the windows, knowing that the Commission deemed the changes inappropriate. If the Commission were to now find some other avenue for listing the property on the Register, it could undermine the integrity of all of the historic structures on the Register. It could send the message that the Commission will turn a blind eye to changes that get made. The Commission had a lengthy discussion about the Dr. Palmer House and its potential eligibility to be re -instated on the Register based on the criteria in the code and the Department of the Interior's Standards for designating properties on historic registers. Mr. Chave pointed out that, although the Commission voted to remove the house from the Register, it was never officially removed by the City Council as required by code. He agreed to review the history of the property and verify its status. The Commission postponed a decision on the property until the next meeting. HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION CHAIR COMMENTS Chair Raetzloff did not provide any additional comments. HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSIONER COMMENTS Commissioner Waite encouraged the Commissioners to seek out additional properties to add to the Register. Commissioner Deiner-Karr suggested the Commission should first review the criteria for determining whether or not a property is eligible for listing on the Register. Commissioner Preston suggested that, rather than a list, it would be helpful to have a map that identifies the highly -probable properties that fit the criteria for inclusion on the Register. He also stressed the need to focus on the rules and procedures that are outlined in the code. Ms. Allbery pointed out a potential property for the Register located at 7' Avenue and Cedar Street. She agreed to follow up and report back to the Commission. Commissioner Preston said he talked to the property owners on Carey Road, who indicated their intent to sell the house. It is likely the house will be significantly modified by the new owners. ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned at 6:54 p.m. Historic Preservation Commission Minutes July 12, 2018 Page 4 Packet Pg. 57 2.h Commissioner Waite advised that the Building Official allowed the project an exemption from compliance with the current energy code because it is a historic structure. Mr. Sullivan said he just recently applied for a building permit for the remaining windows. There was some discussion about color, and Mr. Sullivan said that, at this point, there is no clear information to establish the original color of the window frames and doors. COMMISSIONER SCOTT MOVED THAT THE COMMISSION ISSUE A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS FOR THE REMAINING WINDOW REPLACEMENT ON THE 2ND FLOOR OF THE EDMONDS HISTORICAL MUSEUM BUILDING. COMMISSIONER WAITE SECONDED THE MOTION, WHICH CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Potential Guide -Led Historic Walkine Tour Commissioners Scott and Kelly shared their ideas for a guide -led, architecture -based, historic walking tour in downtown Edmonds. The hope is to have an hour-long walking tour ready to roll out next summer to operate on key Saturdays. As the concept grows, the tour could be adjusted for different themes. Commissioner Scott explained that once a route has been identified, the Commission will be invited to do a sample walk and provide feedback so the transcript can be finalized. UNFINISHED BUSINESS Status of 2019 Historic Calendar Commissioner Scott provided a progress update on the calendar and announced that a draft would be available for Commission review in September. The actual calendar pages would be routed amongst the Commissioners and staff for feedback on event dates, etc. Mr. Chave noted that the calendar needs to be ready to print no later than mid -October. ACTION ITEMS Continued Discussion on New Application for Telfer/Palmer House Located at 820 Maple Street The Commission briefly reviewed the history of the Telfer/Palmer House, noting that it was removed from the Register when the owners made changes that altered the appearance of the front fagade. They discussed the merits of the new application that was recently submitted to add the home back on the Register. COMMISSIONER DEINER-KARR MOVED THAT THE COMMISSION DETERMINE THE APPLICATION FOR PROPERTY AT 820 MAPLE STREET DOES NOT MEET THE CRITERIA FOR INCLUSION ON THE EDMONDS REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES AND NO FURTHER ACTION WOULD BE TAKEN AT THIS TIME. COMMISSIONER SCOTT SECONDED THE MOTION, WHICH CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Mr. Chave indicated that staff would send a letter to the applicants to inform them of the Commission's decision. HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION CHAIR COMMENTS Chair Raetzloff recalled an earlier Commission discussion about the idea of creating a second list for properties that do not qualify for the Register but are an important part of Edmonds' history. He noted that the Edmonds Museum had a similar list prior to establishment of the Historic Preservation Commission. He suggested they work with the Edmonds Museum to further this idea. HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSIONER COMMENTS The Commissioners thanked Mr. Sullivan for the work he is doing at the Edmonds Museum to ensure that the changes improve the structure's historic integrity.

In 1978 it was moved a third time to its current location at 1011 Second Avenue where it was placed on a new foundation and renovated. 3.a Edmonds e ru a r Historic y 2024 Preservation cornra"Slon Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday >L 1 2 3 Rural route mad service established, 1913. 7 8 4 5 6 9 10 Historic Preservation Commission Meeting, 5: 30_7:00 11 12 13 Valentine's 14 15 16 17 Camcgic Library opens, 1911.

It was built for Dr. W. C. Palmer, a local dentist who lived in the house until 1914. After the Palmers moved, the house was rented for a short time to Matt Engels. Engels quickly became a prominent citizen and was elected mayor. When the house was built, Maple St. didn't reach it and the house was connected to Dayton via a boardwalk. Former Mayor Mike Cooper is proud to be the second Edmonds mayor to occupy the house. The Palmer House was added to the register in 2010, but subsequently removed due to external modifications that did not meet current standards of authenticity. Since then, both the state and local preservation commissions have grown to understand that the cost and difficulty of matching original construction is huge, and that minor deviations from authenticity should not keep a building off the register. With that in mind, the Palmer House is now scheduled to be reconsidered for inclusion on the register by the end of 2024. It is important to preserve the historic character of Edmonds for future generations to enjoy. Registering your historic building helps to ensure and preserve the heritage and "small town" feeling of Edmonds. 3.a EdmondsHistoric March Presen auon Commission Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday 28 1 2 3 5 6 8 9 4 7 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Historic Preservation Daylight Savings Commission Time begins Meeting. 5:30-7:00 St. Patrick's 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 Day Edmonds Art Walk 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 Easter 31 The Edmonds Historic Prcsercation commission t HPCH is composed of volunteer citizens that work to promote historic presen ation and to encourage owners of historically significant properties to add them t, Edmonds Register of Historic Places in order to raise awareness and appreciation of local history.

The Rebekka Lodge #65 Order for Women was organized here in 1896. The building has been continuously occupied for more than 100 years and was the first, and for a long time the only, public meeting place in Edmonds. Between 1909 and 1913 the Hall also served as Edmonds' first motion picture theater. The building was purchased in 1974 by Reliable Floor Coverings which, 40 years later, still occupies the space.

Yost is back in the news after 120 years. He built the original system by creating two concrete weirs (small dams) across Shell Creek in what later became Yost Park. These weirs suffered extreme flooding damage over the past few years and are associated with increased silting and erosion of the banks, which may adversely affect salmon habitat. The city is working to strike a balance between preserving part of these historic structures and mitigating their adverse environmental effects. 3.a eo% Edmonds Historic Prraervntian C.nmmiminn June 2024 Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday 26 ) ! ? ti' ) -� --�� i- 31 t)nsin} Shingle Co.. the 1 im7 upera[ing cedar shingle mill in Edmotrts.

But the 1960's saw population increasingly shifting to surrounding suburban areas and new schools were built to accommodate this. Enrollment at Edmonds Elementary dwindled, and it closed in 1972.

The cabin in its original location near today's Seaview Elementary School Edmonds' Log Cabin was built in 1930 by Gaston Alfred Beck Ganahl as a guest house on his large Seaview estate. In 1947 he sold the part of his property that included the cabin to the Hanley family, who occupied it as their main home until 1975. They sold the property that year, but donated the cabin to the City of Edmonds. With the land sold the cabin had to be moved, and the City immediately took on the arduous tasks of lifting it off its foundation onto a trailer, and removing and reattaching utility lines along the route from Seaview to its current location at Fifth and Bell. It first served as headquarters for the Edmonds Chamber of Commerce, and in 1990 became the Edmonds Visitors Center, a role it continues to play today.

Q Packet Pg. 85 The Edmonds Historic Preservation Commission promotes historic preservation and encourages 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 as historic places in Edmonds. To apply to be on the Register, simply download the application form available on the commission's website. If you have questions or need help completing the form, contact the Commission and a member will be glad to help you. Completed applications may be mailed or dropped off at the Edmonds Planning Division. 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 listed 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 you may qualify for a financial break after the restoration of your historic property. • Building Code Relief: Special building codes 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 the building don't conform to existing zoning standards. More flexibility is also granted to enable the restoration or rebuilding of an historic building if 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 facade easements or rehabilitation tax credits. These benefits may result in tax deductions or credits that can significantly benefit the historic property owner.
