He had made note of that item last week when the ordinance was before the Council for review, and the City Attorney assured him that that section was not being reviewed by the Council at that time, but he noticed that it was included in the ordinance. Personnel Manager Brent Hunter ex- plained that an employee's work schedule can be adjusted if he/she works more than eight hours in one day so that he/she arrives at work later the next morning. He said overtime is only paid when an employee works over forty hours -a week. Councilmember Nordquist expressed concern that employees are able to supplement their vacations with comp time. Councilmember Hall said Councilmembers have, on several occasions, called the City and found that no one was in the department they were calling. She suggested that supervisors review a request to supplement an employee's vacation on a case -by -case basis. Mayor Naughten assured Councilmem- ber Hall that Staff monitors vacation schedules to insure that the system is not abused.

AUDIENCE Mayor Naughten opened the audience portion of the meeting. Jeff Palmer, 17510 - 76th Ave. W., referred to Item 8 on the agenda, Report on Application for Increase of Train Speed. He doubted that a greater speed through the City would contribute to greater safety, and he urged the Council to review that proposal very critically. Mayor Naughten closed the audience portion of the meeting. PRESENTATION OF COMMUNITY SERVICE AWARDS TO: EDMONDS ARTS FESTIVAL ASSOCIATION AND EDMONDS ARTS FESTIVAL MUSEUM BRD; WINDERMERE REAL ESTATE; AND FRANK DeMIER \ DIREC R F DeMIERO JAll CAMP Mayor Naughten stated that the Community Service Award is given to organizations and individuals who have made a significant contribution to the community and to the quality of life. Mayor Naughten presented the Community Service Award to Kelly Mitchell, President of the Edmonds Arts Festival Association, and Wanda Pederson, President of the Arts Festival Museum Board, for their gift of the sculpture "Locals" that was installed at Olympic Beach. Mayor Naughten presented the Community Service Award to Hugh Hoff, President of Windermere, and Heidi Medina, Assistant Manager, in recognition of their recent painting and beautification of the Wade James Theatre. Mayor Naughten also presented the Community Service Award to Frank DeMiero. He said Mr. DeMiero formed a Vocal Jazz Summer Camp fourteen years ago and has educated over 3,000 participants from 25 states, as well as Canada. Camp headquarters is located at the Puget Sound Bible College and is a positive reflection on the community. HEARING ON APPEAL OF HEARING EXAMINER DECISION DENYING VARIANCE REQUEST FOR SHED IN SETBACK AT 8706 - 182ND PL. S.W. APPELLANT/APPLICANT: GREG NULL/V-20-89/AP-25-89 Planning Division Manager Mary Lou Block reported that on June 15, 1989, the Hearing Examiner held a public hearing on the request of Greg Hull for a variance to reduce the required rear and side yard setbacks for a shed that he constructed in the northeast corner of his property. The shed was built on the north and east property lines. Code requires a ten foot north side yard setback and a five foot east rear setback. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 2 AUGUST 15, 1989 Ms. Block said the Hearing Examiner issued a decision on June 30, 1989 denying the variance re- quest. On July 13, 1989, Mr. Hull filed an appeal. Ms. Block noted that a copy of the appeal letter, the Hearing Examiner's decision, and a plot plan were included in the Council Packets. Ms. Block said it is the recommendation of Staff to uphold the Hearing Examiner's decision. Councilmember Hertrich inquired if Staff made an on -site visit of the property in question. Ms. Block replied affirmatively. Councilmember Hertrich inquired about the height of the fence sur- rounding the subject property. Ms. Block said it is approximately six feet high. Ms. Block submitted photographs of the subject property to the City Clerk for circulation to the Council. The photographs had been submitted at the hearing before the Hearing Examiner. Mayor Naughten opened the public portion of the hearing. Bill Weckworth, One Union Square Building, Seattle, attorney representing Greg Hull, said eight adjoining property owners have signed a petition in favor of leaving the shed where it is present- ly located. He submitted the petition to the City Clerk (marked Exhibit 1). Ms. Weckworth said the shed is fairly well hidden in its present location and relocating it would be less desirable to the surrounding property owners. Mr. Weckworth said the issue before the Council is a classic example of why a variance should be granted. He said the shed will become more visible to the adjacent property owners if it is moved away from the property line. Greg Hull, 8706 - 182nd P1. S.W., said he changed his plans to construct a shed that he had pur- chased from Sears when an adjoining neigbor, Mrs. Stole, asked him not to put it. up. Instead, he said he hired a contractor to build the existing shed, at a cost twice the amount of the Sears shed, in the location that Mrs. Stole had suggested. Bert Stole, 8704 - 182nd P1. S.W., was opposed to granting the variance. Mr. Stole clarified that his wife was never aware that Mr. Hull had purchased a Sears shed, and it was one of the other neighbors who was opposed to that shed. Mr. Stole said his wife spoke with Mr. Hull when the contractor had commenced constructing the foundation for the shed and advised him to contact the Planning Department to check on setback requirements and to see if a building permit was necessary. Mr. Stole said he was opposed to the existing shed because: 1) it is immediately adjacent to the property line; 2) no other sheds exist in the neighborhood that are visible; 3) restrictive cove- nants exist which allow only a single family structure and a detached garage; and 4) the shed is poorly constructed and the roof will deteriorate. He was concerned that the Hull's may move from their home and future occupants will not maintain the shed. Mr. Stole suggested that the shed be relocated behind Mr. Hull's house where it cannot be seen by the neighbors. Mr. Stole felt that sheds that are visible from the street are not a benefit to the neighbor- hood. He said the problems faced by Mr. Hull are self-induced and could have been avoided if he had cooperated with the neighbors and the City. Mr. Stole believed the Hearing Examiner's decision was appropriate, and he requested the Council to uphold his decision. Councilmember Hertrich said he was unable to see the shed from the street when he visited the property and, in fact, had difficulty locating it when he peered over the fence. Mr. Weckworth said the issue of whether or not the shed is of sound construction is a matter between the Planning Department and Mr. Hull, not Mr. Stole. Mr. Weckworth said he did not believe a special privilege would be granted to Mr. Hull if the variance is approved. He said the shed is located in a place that will have the least impact to the neighbors and if it is moved, it will be more visible to the neighbors. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 3 AUGUST 15, 1989 Mayor Naughten closed the public portion of the hearing. COUNCILMEMBER HALL MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO UPHOLD THE HEARING EXAMINER'S DECISION. Councilmember Hertrich said he believed the shed is located in the best place because it is hid- den by trees and the fence, but he was concerned that it cannot be properly maintained because it is so close to the fence. COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH MOVED TO AMEND THE MOTION TO MOVE THE SHED FAR ENOUGH AWAY FROM THE FENCE SO THAT IT CAN BE PROPERLY MAINTAINED BUT LEAVE IT IN BASICALLY THE SAME LOCATION. MOTION FAILED FOR LACK OF A SECOND. MAIN MOTION CARRIED WITH COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH OPPOSED. (,too HEARING ON APPEAL OF HEARING EXAMINER DECISION DENYING VARIANCE FOR ENCROACHMENT OF DECK INTO R� SETBACK- 6TH AVE. S. (APPELLANT/APPLIC-AN-7---jURN-TND GR TCH N ED V 9 Planning Division Manager Mary Lock Block reported that on June 15, 1989, the Hearing Examiner held a public hearing on the request of John and Gretchen Reed for a variance to reduce the re- quired north side yard setback on their property at 720 - 6th Ave. S. from 5 feet to 6 inches for a deck addition. The Hearing Examiner issued his decision on June 28, 1989 denying the variance request. She said Mr. Reed submitted a request for reconsideration which was also denied by the Bearing Examiner, On July 19, 1989, Mr. Reed filed an appeal. Ms. Block noted that a copy of the appeal letter, the Hearing Examiner's decision, and a vicinity map were included in the Council packets. Ms. Block said it is the recommendation of Staff to uphold the Hearing Examiner's decision. Ms. Block reviewed the Hearing Examiner's decision. Ms. Block then reviewed a proposed plot plan. Councilmember Hertrich inquired if access to the proposed deck from the existing porch could only be gained by use of the stairway. Ms. Block replied affirmatively. Ms. Block submitted photographs to the City Clerk for circulation to the Council. The photo- , -graphs had been submitted at the hearing before the Hearing Examiner. John Reed, 720 - 6th Ave. S., stated that the variance request has been modified to 3 feet 6 inches and not 1 foot 6 inches. Ms. Block clarified that 1 foot 6 inches will allow a 3 foot 6 inch deck to be constructed. City Attorney Wayne Tanaka clarified that a variance of 3 feet 6 inches is necessary to construct the proposed deck. - Gretchen Reed, 720 - 6th Ave. S., said she felt the most logical access to the proposed deck would be by expansion of the existing porch and stairway. She said replacing the porch and stair- way will also improve the property because they are deteriorating. Ms. Reed said expanding the porch will allow two-way traffic on the deck. Ms. Reed said their, home is two stories in the back, and the deck will be constructed on the second story. Mr. Reed said their home was constructed on a 45 foot wide lot with only a 5 foot setback on either side. He noted that RS-6 zoning calls for a 60 foot wide lot. Mr. Reed did not feel that a special privilege would be granted if the variance were approved be- cause he said other structures exist in the neighborhood that encroach in the setback area and he would only be granted a privilege which other neighbors currently enjoy. Mr. Reed said granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the neighborhood. He noted that Staff's preliminary report indicated that the criteria of ECDC 20.85.010 had been met. Mr. Reed said the proposed walkway is necessary because it will allow access to the main activity area on the deck. He said the proposed walkway and deck will create no more of a noise distur- bance to the neighbors than the existing patio. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 4 AUGUST 15, 1989 Mr. Reed said in the Hearing Examiner's decision and in response to the Motion for Reconsidera- tion circumstances unrelated to specific criteria seem to have been used to determine that the criteria were not met. He said it was his opinion that the criteria have been met for the grant- ing of the variance. Mr. Reed believed that the Hearing Examiner did not consider the facts as they were presented and as they apply to the appropriate criteria. Councilmember Dwyer inquired if the existing walkway and steps are used to access the patio. Mr. Reed said the patio is accessed from the basement because the patio is at ground level. Councilmember Hertrich inquired if the adjacent neighbors utilize the exterior of their home on the same side of the proposed walkway and at the same level. Mr. Reed replied negatively. Councilmember Nordquist inquired if the existing stairway will be removed if the variance is granted. Mr. Reed replied affirmatively. Bob Hovey, 706 - 6th Ave. S., said he lives directly north of Mr. Reed. He was opposed to the variance because he said it will allow the structure to be built within six inches of the proper- ty line. Mr. Hovey said the potential noise level generated by the proposed structure will have an adverse effect on him and his family because their bedrooms are located on the south side of the second story and his home -based business is on the south side of the first floor. Mr. Hovey said the Reeds have entertained guests late into the evening and have awakened his family. Mr. Hovey said access to the proposed deck could be obtained by means other than the proposed walkway. He was opposed to the deck because he said it will invade his privacy. Mr. Hovey said the Reeds rented their home for some time before they purchased it and were well aware of its limitations. He pointed out that their lot is 150 feet long, and a good-sized deck could be constructed in the back part of the property. Councilmember Kasper inquired how far Mr. Hovey's home was from the property line. Mr. Hovey replied approximately 23 feet. Councilmember Hertrich inquired if Mr. Hovey would object to the proposed deck if it were con- structed with the required setbacks. Mr. Hovey replied negatively. Mr. Reed said he and his wife do entertain guests on occasion, but they do not have late -night, disruptive parties. He noted that none of the neighbors have complained to them in the twelve years they have lived in their home. Mayor Naughten closed the public portion of the hearing. Councilmember Hertrich said he is usually opposed to the granting of a variance, but after making an on -site visit of the home in question and observing the restrictive nature of the lot and the considerable distance between the two homes he felt the variance should be granted. COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO APPROVE THE VARIANCE. Councilmember Jaech was against constructing the deck right up to the property line regardless of the distance between the two homes. She said Mr. Hovey should not be penalized because his home is 23 feet away from the property line. She pointed out that there are several alternatives to constructing the deck without infringing on the neighbors' privacy. A ROLL CALL VOTE WAS TAKEN. MOTION FAILED WITH COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, COUNCILMEMBER DWYER AND COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH IN FAVOR; COUNCILMEMBER HALL, COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST AND COUNCILMEMBER WILSON OPPOSED. * COUNCILMEMBER JAECH MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST, TO UPHOLD THE HEARING EXAMINER'S DECISION TO DENY THE VARIANCE. MOTION CARRIED WITH COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH AND COUNCILMEMBER KASPER ABSTAINING BECAUSE HE DID NOT HEAR THE MOTION. REPORT ON APPLICATION FOR INCREASE OF TRAIN SPEED Mayor Naughten noted that Amtrak has filed an amended petition with the State to increase train speeds in Edmonds. He said the Commission's Transportation Division staff will be contacting each city to discuss the request. * See Council Minutes of September 5, 1989 EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 5 AUGUST 15, 1989 Councilmember Dwyer stated that if the Council instructs Staff to oppose the increased speed, three commissioners from the Washington Utilities & Transportation Committee will come to Edmonds to hold a hearing. Councilmember Hall noted that the City of Edmonds has officially stated in the past that it is against an increased train speed through Edmonds. COUNCILMEMBER DWYER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, TO AUTHORIZE STAFF TO OPPOSE THE REQUEST OF THE PETITION AND WORK WITH THE WASHINGTON UTILITIES & TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE TO SCHEDULE A HEARING IN FRONT OF THE COMMISSION IN EDMONDS. MOTION CARRIED. MAYOR ' Mayor Naughten said he would recommend approval of a liquor license application for Ralph Hitchman, Southland Corporation, for the 7-Eleven at 21920 Highway 99, if the Council did not 7 object. No objection was noted. Mayor Naughten said the budget process is in progress, and he recommended that the Council submit their recommendations in writing to Council President Kasper. Council President Kasper scheduled a budget discussion for next week. Mayor Naughten said the City received a letter from Richard Ehlers regarding the general obliga- tion bonds. Council President Kasper noted that the call date on the bonds is September 1; 1990. He suggested, because interest rates are favorable, that the City not accelerate the re- fund. Mayor Naughten announced that a Puget Sound Council of Governments meeting is scheduled on August 24th and 25th at the Salish Lodge in Snoqualmie Falls. COUNCIL u� Councilmember Hertrich expressed concern about the statements made in a recent publication from the Citizens Against Annexation. He requested Staff to respond to the Council regarding those statements so the Council may be informed and be able to give informed answers to those questions. Councilmember Hall said the Council must consider an increase in funding for the Snohomish County Public Health District because the case load for the nurses has increased dramatically. Councilmember Nordquist noted that Edmonds' assigned costs for library services from the Sno-Isle Regional Library are up to approximately $500,000 and the City's contract fee is $356,000. He thought it would be prudent to review the contract in the near future. Council President Kasper scheduled a discussion on that issue on August 22, 1989 and said he would invite the director, Tom Mayer, and the local librarian. COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, TO SCHEDULE A COUNCIL MEETING ON SEPTEMBER 18 RATHER THAN SEPTEMBER 19 BECAUSE OF THE PRIMARY ELECTION. MOTION CARRIED. Councilmember Dwyer did not feel discussion of the job standards development was an appropriate topic for an executive session because he said the Council has reached a point where they are now talking about the methods by which they structure the employee work force and the philosophies behind that. He suggested that the discussion take place in an open forum. City Attorney Wayne Tanaka said an executive session may be held to review the performance of a public employee. However, discussions focusing on salaries, wages and other conditions to be generally applied within the agency must occur at an open public meeting. Speaking to another topic, Councilmember Jaech pointed out that Council Committees are unable to review every item on their agenda because Council study sessions are also scheduled. She suggest- ed that the Council either do away with Committee meetings and hold regular work meetings in their place or schedule only Committee items on the agenda. COUNCILMEMBER JAECH MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NOROQUIST, THAT COMMITTEE MEETING NIGHTS BE STRICTLY, FOR THE FUNCTION OF THE COMMITTEES TO GO OVER ITEMS THEY SET UP TO REVIEW. MOTION CAR- RIED. The meeting recessed at 9:52 p.m. and reconvened at 10:02 p.m. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 6 AUGUST 15, 1989 CONTINUED DISCUSSION ON JOB STANDARDS DEVELOPMENT Hersonnel Manager Brent Hunter summarized the major points of the job classification proposal. e said the point factor system was abolished and a whole job classification methodology is pro- CIA- � posed in its place. That system will be easier to understand; will reduce job creep; reduces 11 pay grades to 6 pay levels; expands the horizontal salary range and aligns positions within the local marketplace; and establishes the marketplace as part of the Edmonds standards. Mr. Hunter said the classification study does not address cost of living increases but does show what the impact of a merit pay increase would be. Councilmember Hall felt that merit pay should not be "cranked in" as a payroll item in the budg- et. She suggested that the Mayor award merit pay with monies that are left over after the budget process has been finalized. The Council reviewed the standards for the six pay levels. It was the consensus of the Council to change the name of the EXECUTIVE classification to DEPARTMENT DIRECTOR. COUNCILMEMBER DWYER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, TO APPROVE THE SIX LEVEL CONCEPT AS RECOMMENDED BY THE COMMITTEE. MOTION CARRIED WITH COUNCILMEMBER KASPER OPPOSED BECAUSE HE SAID HE WOULD NOT VOTE ON THE PROPOSAL ON A CUMULATIVE BASIS...ONLY THE PROPOSAL AS A WHOLE. COUNCILMEMBER JAECH MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, TO APPROVE THE DEFINITION OF LINE MANAGERS, STAFF MANAGER, PROGRAM MANAGER, AND ADMINISTRATIVE MANAGER.
