Resolution 393RESOLUTION NO. 393
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS, WASHINGTON,
SETTING FORTH THE POLICY AND DIRECTION FOR IMPROVING
THE EXISITING AND FUTURE RESIDENTIAL ACCESS STREETS.
WHEREAS, the City of Edmonds is presently en-
couraging final development of streets to standards stipulated
in Title 7 of the City Code with conversion of overhead
utilities to underground, and
WHEREAS, economic conditions have resulted in
increased construction costs which have discouraged citizen
interest in petitioning for final street improvements, and,
WHEREAS, the lack of improvements and the limited
city funds for maintenance purposes have resulted in inade-
quate and sub - standard access street conditions as determined
by staff evaluation, and
WHEREAS, it is considered necessary to adequately
improve and restore street systems to maintain safety,
structural stability, capacity, drainage, and aesthetic
objectives, and,
WHEREAS, it is now deemed proper and necessary
that revised policies, guidance, and programs be instituted
to encourage street improvements and restoration; now,
therefore,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS, WASHINGTON,
HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. That final improvement to applicable
street standards contained in Title 7 of the City Code,
including undergrounding, will be required of all new develop-
ments, which will include but not be limited to Subdivisions,
Short Subdivisions, Planned Residential Developments, and
development of existing unopened right -of -way.
Section 2. That final residential street Improve-
ment Types 3, and 6 through 10 shown on Attachment "1" are
still encouraged to be accomplished by formation of local
improvement districts with or without the requirement for
underground conversion as desired by district residents.
Section 3 That on a case by case basis, resident-
ial street Improvement Types 1, 2, 4 and 5 also will be
authorized for financing by local improvement district
method, excluding the requirement for conversion of overhead
utilities to underground.
Section 4. That any street improvement necessita-
ting major drainage structure installation shall be constructed
to Improvement Standard Types 3 and 6 through 10.
Section 5. That the City staff prepare goals,
objectives, and financial programs to allocate specified

twenty -five percent (250) of the total costs in selected
