PROPOSED ORDINANCE 2840 AMENDING EDMONDS CITY CODE TO ADD CHAPTER ENTITLED "HORSE TAXIS" ITEM THE CONSENTG NDA Councilmember Palmer referred to page 5, section 4.85.090(C) of the proposed ordinance, noting that the Council's intent was not defined to review for appropriateness an off-street parking area to stand, park or discharge and load passengers. Councilmember Kasper said it was his understanding that $175 for the standing, parking or pickup zone in section 4.85.125(C) would be a one-time fee. City Clerk Jackie Parrett noted that the City Attorney calculated that figure using one -twelfth of the in -lieu of parking fee per month. COUNCILMEMBER PALMER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NOROQUIST, TO CONTINUE ITEM (D) TO JULY 16, 1991. Councilmember Hertrich suggested that 4.85.090(C) be amended, adding the words, "with the approv- al of the Chief of Police" following the first sentence and that the item be placed on. the Con- sent Agenda next week.

COUNCILMEMBER DWYER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, TO APPROVE ITEM (E) AS AMENDED. Councilmember Palmer said he would vote against the motion because a maximum amount has been set �. that wasgreater than the City's estimate of what the projected needs would be. MOTION CARRIED WITH COUNCILMEMBER PALMER OPPOSED. AUDIENCE Mayor Naughten opened the audience portion of.the meeting. ' Diane Azar, 8202 Talbot Rd., supported the City and complimented the Council in their acceptance of the Edmonds Drainage Basin Study. She said the Council has acknowledged that the area is an environmentally sensitive area that should be protected, preserved, and rehabilitated. Ms. Azar noted that section 15.15.020 of the Edmonds Community Development Code provides that the natural drainage system of streams, ponds, and marshes shall not be filled or permanently culverted except where no other alternative exists, but the Postal Service intends to construct a project in the the Perrinville area which will culvert the remaining open section of Perrinville Creek on their property. Ms. Azar said that according to the Washington State Department of Wildlife, there are numerous adverse effects to fish and wildlife resources that would result if the stream were placed in.a culvert. In fact, she said the Department has stated -that the stream would cease to function as a biological connection to the downstream area. Ms. Azar added that the Postal Service's consultant has stated, "Undergrounding streams is not an acceptable alterna- tive in these times of environmental awareness". Ms. Azar supported the City in asking the Postal Service to comply with local regulations and to offer a challenge to the federal government to form a partnership with the city of Edmonds and to listen to its citizens. Jenny Burger, 22910 = 102nd P1. W., biology and chemistry teacher at Edmonds-Woodway High School, said she has been involved in stream studies with the Environmental Protection Agency for the last ten years. Ms. Burger commented that the proposed culverting on the Postal Service site involves 250 feet of pipe (almost the length of a football field). Ms. Burger explained that there are four levels of rock, rubble, gravel and sand in a natural stream which slows stream run-off; causes filtration and cleansing of the water; causes riffling or bubbling which oxygenates the stream; and provides a site that algae cling to, which provides the base of the food chain for bugs which fish eat. Ms. Burger said in an ideal stream, there is a 50/50 ratio of riffle to pool sites, which would be lost in a culvert. She noted that juvenile fish rest in riffles when they are tired. Cul- verts also prevent leaf litter which falls from the overhang of trees. Those leaves decay and provide nutrients to plants and small bugs. She noted that 50% of all food for cutthroat salmon and coho salmon come from the vegetation that hangs over the stream. Ms. Burger said the impact to Perrinville Creek from Postal Service development is considered to be significant when considering that 50% of wetlands in Washington State have already been dam- aged. Ms. Burger urged the Council to do everything possible to prevent culverting. Kirk Kennick, 18104 Andover, noted that earlier studies by the City's consultants have documented the damage which has already occurred in the Perrinville Creek. He said culverting of that stream on the Postal site would add to the existing problem. Ms. Kennick offered the following solutions: 1) purchase land upstream of the culvert for dis- charge of catchment construction to slow the velocity of the stream; 2) remove the existing cul- vert and fill area at the end of the Postal site and construct a catchment downstream from the Postal site; or 3) construct, a detention pond or catchment on the southeast corner of the lot at the intersection of 76th and Olympic View. r-- Mr. Kennick asserted that the Postal Service, City of Edmonds, and State of Washington must take the opportunity to rehabilitate the stream instead of adding to mistakes that were made in the past. Mayor Naughten noted that the City is attempting to contact Congressman Miller to resolve the issue. *See 8-20-91, p.12 (para. 8) EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 2 July 2, 1991 Rick Demeroutis, 921 Pine St., noted that last week's minutes did not reflect that the ordinance he had referred at the previous Council meeting states that the mayor is to uphold the ordinanc- es. Mr. Demeroutis said if Mayor Naughten runs for a third term, he will be violating the ordi- nance. He also said the City Attorney's opinion must have a Supreme Court ruling. Mr. Demeroutis referred to an article in the Edmonds paper quoting Mayor Naughten as saying that as far as the Snohomish County Auditor was concerned, he has the legal right to file for office. Mr. Demeroutis said, however, the Auditor is not empowered to make judicial decisions. Mr. Demeroutis said Mayor Naughten referred to two opinions in the Edmonds paper. Mayor Naughten said the other opinion emanated from the Municipal League. Mr. Demeroutis said he failed to understand how Mayor Naughten could run for a third term if there was a law limiting the tenure of the mayor. Mayor Naughten stated that the issue of a third term would be resolved either in court or at the polls before he took office if he was reelected. Mr. Demeroutis noted that even the President of the United States can only serve two consecutive terms. Mayor Naughten said the tenure of the President was an act of congress, which has nothing to do with state or municipal laws. He believed that the voters should determine term limita- tions and not the Council. Councilmember Palmer added that the issue of a third term could also be resolved by the Mayor's not filing for office. Councilmember Dwyer noted that that would only resolve the application and not the issue. COUNCILMEMBER PALMER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO ADD A SECOND EXECUTIVE SESSION TO DISCUSS ANOTHER LEGAL MATTER AT THE END OF THE MEETING AND EXTEND THE MEETING FOR TWENTY MIN- UTES. The question was called for. Because only Councilmember Palmer responded verbally, Mayor Naughten suggested that the issue be discussed following the regular agenda. UPDATE FROM PATHWAYS FOR WOMEN CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM Gerald Lewis, 2807 - 123rd St., Lynnwood, a member of the Board of Directors for Pathways for Women and Chairman of the Corporate Campaign Committee, reported that a building located at 6027 208th Street S.W. in Lynnwood was purchased on April 15th for Pathways For Women. He noted that $850,000 has been secured for the project, and the remaining amount will be raised from solicita- tions and donations and bank loans, if necessary. Mr. Lewis requested the City to either release the $30,800 it has pledged to Pathways -For Women before July 10 or grant the organization a six-month extension to secure total financing. He said the organization would like to get a release of the funds to start the application for con- struction permits, which will take three to six months, and to complete the design and materials specifications. Mr. Lewis noted that the total project cost is $1.6 million. COUNCILMEMBER WILSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH, TO GRANT A SIX-MONTH EXTENSION. Councilmember Nordquist said the intent of the Council when they pledged the $30,800 was that the funds be used immediately to house homeless people and not for administrative costs. He recom- mended that the City's money be utilized by December 31, 1991 and not be carried over for next year's use and that the City consider another project for homeless if the funds are not used by year end. Councilmember Palmer concurred. He recommended that the Pathways For Women project be factored into the City's 1992 budget and that the $30,800 be utilized for some other project in 1991. Ann Gordon, Director of Pathways For Women, noted that the Washington State Housing Trust Fund requires that the building Pathways has plans to construct be completed by April 15, 1992. She said, however, construction cannot commence because building permits have not been obtained and will not be obtainable for three to six months. She said the immediate need is to secure funding that will allow the completion of the architectural design and materials specifications that will, in turn, allow Pathways to submit full application for permits. She noted that the project would provide more housing at a reduced cost for more people. Ms. Gordon said there is a lack of available low-income housing. She said Pathways is currently operating twelve transitional houses, and construction of a building for transitional housing would serve more homeless people over a ten- to twenty-year period than the current housing. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 3 July 2, 1991 Councilmember Dwyer inquired about the expenditure for 1991 for the voucher system. Ms. Gordon said approximately $30,000 was expended from January to September of 1991. She explained that FEMA funds are only available from February to September of any given year, and Pathways For Women has no access to those funds during the winter months. Councilmember Dwyer said the Council would be more at ease if they were assured that the City's. funds were utilized to house homeless people in 1991. He noted that the Council had endorsed the program in 1990 and pledged funds because they were interested in providing immediate shelter for homeless children, and the Council was not comfortable deferring shelter until 1992. For the benefit of the audience, Councilmember Nordquist explained that the Council had earmarked money in the budget, $1 per Edmonds citizen, for homeless people in general and that the money was pledged to Pathways For Women after a presentation was made to the council. He said, howev- er, the Council intended those funds to be used directly for homeless people and not for adminis- trative costs. Councilmember Wilson inquired if other cities have contributed to the project. Ms. Gordon said Edmonds has taken the lead in terms of municipal contributions. She said an interlocal agreement was being drafted requesting the seven South County cities to provide $175,000 in exchange for a service agreement which would procure space in the building specifically for South County resi- dents by area. She said the other, cities did not set aside funds in their 1991 budgets for the project but have committed funds in 1992. Ms. Gordon expressed a concern that the standard that the City of Edmonds has set in taking the lead in contributing funds to the program not be under- mined because it would jeopardize the potential to secure other funds. COUNCILMEMBER WILSON WITHDREW THE MOTION. Because Councilmember Dwyer did not want to "pull the rug out from underneath the project", he recommended that Ms. Gordon and the Mayor discuss a solution if it would be productive and present it to the Council at the next Council meeting. Ms. Gordon suggested, because 50% of the money for permits must be on a local match, that half of the City's funds be put towards the shelter and half be used to provide immediate shelter. COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH FOR DISCUSSION, TO GRANT THE FUNDS OF $30,800 WITH 50% OF THE MONEY TO BE USED THIS CALENDAR YEAR TO SUPPLEMENT A LACK OF FEDERAL FUNDS FROM SEPTEMBER THROUGH DECEMBER TO HOUSE FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN. THE BALANCE TO BE APPLIED FOR THE INITIAL BUILDING FUND. Councilmember Hertrich also expressed a concern regarding the potential to secure additional funding for the project. He said he was ready to commit the City's entire pledge on an' extended basis and only seconded the motion because he believed it would satisfy the feelings of the Coun- cil. He inquired if a division of the City's funds would jeopardize the project. Ms. Gordon said she believed it would because it was uncertain whether the City could be approached for funding in 1992, because the funds committed by the City demonstrated a lead for other cities, and because the City's funds would leverage additional money that would put the project into action. Councilmember Wilson said he would vote against the motion because the potential to receive addi- tional funding would be jeopardized. Councilmember Kasper said it seemed to him that a division of the use of the City's funds would increase the organization's capital rather than decrease it. He noted that the present Council establishes the 1992 budget and they could earmark additional funds for the project. Councilmember Palmer said he would also vote against the motion because he wanted to grant the extension. He noted, however, there was no guarantee that future funding from the City would be available. Councilmember Dwyer said he would vote in favor of the motion because the intent of his original motion to pledge funds when he discussed it with the Council was that those funds be utilized to house families with children, and he felt obligated to the Council to honor that intention. THE MOTION FAILED WITH COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH, COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, AND COUNCILMEMBER KASPER IN FAVOR; COUNCILMEMBER PALMER, COUNCILMEMBER DWYER, COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST AND COUNCILMEMBER WIL- SON OPPOSED. COUNCILMEMBER WILSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH, TO GRANT AND EXTEND THE $30,800 OBLIGATION THAT THE COUNCIL MADE TO THE PATHWAYS PROGRAM, AND THAT THE CITY CONTRIBUTE AN ADDI- TIONAL $15,000 TO WHATEVER PROGRAM THAT PUTS PEOPLE IN A SHELTER IMMEDIATELY THIS YEAR, FUNDS TO EMANATE FROM THE COUNCIL CONTINGENCY FUND AND TO TERMINATE ON DECEMBER 31, 1991. MOTION CARRIED. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 4 July 2, 1991 ADOPTION OF PLANNING BOARD'S RECOMMENDATION REGARDING ZONING FOR PROPOSED ANNEXATION LOCATED IN NORTHWEST CORN R OF 220 HS.W. AND 92ND AVE. W., AND AUTHORIZATION FOR CIRCULATION OF ANNFYA T N DL T T NC DI TTANT• VAY .T NNC N/FTI F AY-9-Qnl Planning Supervisor Jeff Wilson reported that on May 7, 1991, the City Council held a study ses- sion with the proponents of the Johnston annexation to discuss the proposed annexation, issues of zoning, bonded indebtedness, and annexation boundaries. The Council offered conceptual approval of the proposed annexation boundaries and stated that the City currently does not have any bonded indebtedness. To resolve the issue of zoning, the Council forwarded the proposed annexation to the Planning Board for a public hearing on recommended zoning for the area. Mr. Wilson said the Planning Board held a public hearing on June 12, 1991 to solicit testimony and adopt a recommendation regarding zoning for the proposed annexation area. The Planning Board unanimously adopted a recommended zoning of RS-8, which is consistent with the current zoning of adjacent properties in the City. Mr. Wilson said it is the recommendation of Staff to adopt the Planning Board's recommendation for zoning of the proposed annexation area as outlined in the memorandum from the Board's Chair- man dated June 26, 1991 and authorize the circulation of petitions prepared by Staff for annexa- tion of the area. COUNCILMEMBER PALMER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO ADOPT THE PLANNING BOARD'S RECOM- MENDATION FOR ZONING OF THE PROPOSED ANNEXATION AREA AS OUTLINED IN THE MEMORANDUM FROM THE BOARD'S CHAIRMAN DATED JUNE 269 1991 AND AUTHORIZE THE CIRCULATION OF PETITIONS PREPARED BY STAFF FOR ANNEXATION OF THE AREA. MOTION CARRIED. MEET WITH PETITIONERS OF PROPOSED ANNEXATION OF AREA EAST OF 92ND AVE. W. BETWEEN 218TH S.W. AND k4--_220TH S.W.-FILE AX-291/CART. ASKLUND Planning Supervisor Jeff Wilson reported that the proponents of the proposed annexation have submitted an intent -to -annex petition which represents approximately 25% of the assessed valua- tion of the area requested to be annexed. The proposed annexation area is located north of 220th. Street Southwest, east of 92nd Avenue West, west and south of the existing City limits. Mr. Wilson said the primary focus of the initiating parties for the annexation is to obtain the ability to connect to the sanitary sewer system to resolve the worsening conditions related to the existing sewage drain fields. Mr. Wilson said the proposed annexation is within the contemplated Urban Growth Area for the City of Edmonds and would square off an existing irregular boundary. The area requested to be annexed is currently developed with single-family residences and is zoned for low -density residential. Mr. Wilson said the purpose of the meeting was to discuss the following issues: 1) whether or not the Council wishes to pursue annexation of the area requested by the proponents; 2) determine the boundaries of the annexation area; 3) determine zoning and Comprehensive Plan designation for the annexation area; and 4) whether or not the proposed annexation will be subject to the exist- ing bonded indebtedness of the City. Mr. Wilson noted that the City does not currently carry any bonded indebtedness. Mr. Wilson said the City Council reviewed the Planning Board's recommendation for zoning for the proposed Johnston annexation, which is located adjacent and immediately to the west of the re- quest before the Council. The current County zoning and adjacent City zoning for the proposed Asklund annexation are the same as with the adjacent Johnston annexation. Adoption of an RS-8 zoning designation for the proposal would be consistent with the recommendation of the Planning Board for the adjacent Johnston annexation. Further, adoption of .a zoning designation would help to consolidate the two annexation proposals, which would enable the City to attempt to process both requests simultaneously before the Boundary Review Board (BRB) and allow the residents to work cooperatively to solve the immediate sewer issues. Mr. Wilson said Staff recommends: a) that the boundaries of the annexation area be accepted as proposed; b) the proposed annexation area be zoned RS-8; and a public hearing be scheduled on July 16th to solicit public testimony on the proposed annexation and adopt a motion to authorize the preparation and circulation of annexation petitions subject to stipulations (a) and (b) above. In response to Councilmember Kasper, Mr. Wilson said the legal petition for the boundaries drawn on the Johnston annexation would preclude 220th Street. He believed the BRB would recommend that 220th be included. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 5 July 2, 1991 Councilmember Palmer inquired if the Council had the ability to include 220th in the Johnston annexation. City Attorney John Wallace said State law provides that the City can establish the boundaries as part of the Asklund annexation. Robert Busse, 2119 - 220th St. S.W., inquired about the advantages of annexation. Mayor Naughten said the proponents of the annexation were interested in connecting to the City's sanitary sewer system. Mr. Busse believed 220th should be included in the boundaries. COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WILSON, TO APPROVE THE APPLICATION WITH THE FOLLOWING STIPULATIONS: A) THE BOUNDARIES OF THE ANNEXATION AREA SHOULD BE ACCEPTED AS PROPOSED; B) THE ANNEXATION SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO THE BONDED INDEBTEDNESS OF THE CITY; C) THE PROPOSED ANNEX- ATION AREA SHOULD BE ZONED RS-8 AND INCLUDE THE ENTIRE SOUTHERLY RIGHT-OF-WAY OF 220TH FROM 86TH TO 92ND; D) SCHEDULE A PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL ON JULY 16 TO SOLICIT PUBLIC TESTI- MONY ON THE PROPOSED ANNEXATION, AND ADOPT A MOTION TO AUTHORIZE THE PREPARATION AND CIRCULATION OF ANNEXATION PETITIONS SUBJECT TO STIPULATIONS (A) THROUGH (C). MOTION CARRIED. DISCUSSION WITH NORMA BEACH/PICNIC POINT RESIDENTS REGARDING ANNEXATION Community Services Director Peter Hahn reported that residents of the area contacted City Staff last week to ascertain the City's position with regard to a potential annexation. The area in question would be the entire unincorporated section surrounded by Mukilteo, Edmonds, and the Lynnwood annexation, which is scheduled to be reviewed by the Boundary Review Board (BRB) on July 9. The residents of the area do not wish to be annexed to Lynnwood. Under the State Growth Management Act, the area would need to be annexed to one of the three cities some time in the next few years. Mr. Hahn said Staff has reviewed the issue and there are concerns of access, storm drain systems, soil stability, and remoteness for the purposes of police service. He said there was no way to resolve those questions immediately, nor does Staff have an indication of the fiscal impacts. Mr. Hahn said the BRB will, in all likelihood, express concern that the area not be left as an unincorporated island. The area is not being included in the Lynnwood annexation because Lynn- wood opinion survey showed very strong opposition to annexation. Mr. Hahn noted that preliminary data indicated the population of the Norma Beach/Picnic Point area to be approximately 8,400; the assessed valuation at $550,000,000; potential revenue for property tax at $1.17 million; and approximately $90,000 in Criminal Justice Funds would be avail- able if the area was annexed. Mr. Hahn said the road appears to be in good condition and the area is served by Alderwood Water District. Mr. Hahn said the Fire Department was concerned with the ability to provide fire and EMS to the residents of the Norma Beach/Picnic Point area because of the limited accessibility to the area. He noted that the area is only accessible from 52nd Avenue West or Highway 99 off of 168th Street Southwest. In order to provide adequate service, one of the following options would need to occur: 1) enter into a contract with the City of Lynnwood and Mukilteo to provide for service; 2) plan for, build, and staff a station in that area; or 3) suggest to those involved to move the boundary lines to include the District's station. Planning Division Manager Robert Chave submitted a letter to the Council addressed to the BRB requesting them to become involved in a cooperative study with Lynnwood and Edmonds and the two districts. Councilmember Palmer believed that the problems in policing and providing fire service to the area were not insurmountable. He said the area would be more serviceable if the easterly bounda- ry was moved to the center line of Highway 99 and the northeasterly boundary were moved to the Mukilteo Speedway. Mayor Naughten said the City must be cautious and not arbitrarily cut up the area that the BRB is looking at for Lynnwood. Councilmember Palmer asserted that the present time was the time for the BRB to look at the issues the Council was discussing. He said one of the issues of "carving up land in this nature is having the ability to service what is there". Councilmember Hertrich inquired if residents of the Norma Beach/Picnic Point area up to Highway 99 would still be interested in annexing into the City of Edmonds if the Lynnwood proposal was not successful. There was a unanimous response from the audience in favor of annexing into Edmonds. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 6 July 2, 1991 In response to Mayor Naughten, Police Chief Dan Prinz said the area east of Beverly Park -Edmonds Road and 52nd Avenue West to Highway 99 would not create any problems from a policing standpoint. Rick Geness, 13620 - 68th Ave. W., said it was his understanding that the BRB was considering drawing the Lynnwood boundary at 148th Street Southwest but Lynnwood was not happy with that plan because they need the fire station north of 148th to complete a plan to dissolve Fire District I and absorb the responsibility themself. Mr. Geness requested the Council to at least study the area proposed for annexation and request the BRB to consider that the western boundary of the Lynnwood annexation be the eastern right-of- way of 52nd Avenue West, which would leave 52nd Avenue West completely out of the annexation area and open the opportunity for Edmonds to study the area to the west of 52nd Avenue West. Mr. Geness said the area north of 148th was currently in the Mukilteo School District but was not included in the Mukilteo annexation of Harbour Pointe, and Mukilteo expressed no interest to extend its boundaries any farther south. Mr. Geness said the residents of the proposed annexation areas have successfully fought annexa- tion into Lynnwood for fifteen years, and the residents were enraged by the zoning and develop- ment that Lynnwood has allowed on 168th. Mayor Naughten inquired if anyone residing in the area proposed to be annexed by Lynnwood would have an opportunity to speak to the BRB on July 9. Mr. Geness replied negatively. Mayor Naught - en inquired if letters could still be submitted to the BRB. Mr. Geness said he believed so. Councilmember Dwyer inquired if Edmonds could annex the Norma Beach/Picnic Point area without including the fire station. Mr. Geness said it would be difficult. He said there was an 80% to 90% probability that the area north of 148th would not be included in the Lynnwood annexation and if it were included, there would be that many more "no" votes that would help defeat the proposal. Councilmember Hertrich said he would not hesitate to suggest to the BRB that the Norma Beach/Picnic Point area and area east of 52nd Avenue West to Highway 99 be part of the same annex- ation proposal. Mr. Geness said he did not believe an interest expressed on the part of Edmonds to annex the Norma Beach/Picnic Point area and area east of 52nd Avenue West to Highway 99 would impact the BRB's decision, but he believed it would have a profound impact at election time be- cause residents east of 52nd Avenue West would know they had alternatives and could weigh those alternatives. Brad Holmes, 3730 Serene Way, Lynnwood, said he recently moved from Edmonds to Lynnwood and the most disappointing aspect of moving was moving from the City of Edmonds to Lynnwood. Mr. Holmes strongly supported the proposed annexation of the Norma Beach/Picnic Point area into Edmonds. He urged the Council to express an interest to the BRB to annex the area east of 52nd Avenue West to Highway 99. He said many residents were upset by the strong -handed tactics uti- lized by the Lynnwood City Council to create an island in the Norma Beach/Picnic Point area. Geri Jennings, 15205 - 63rd Ave. W., said the Lynnwood annexation meeting on June 19th was not advertised and very few people knew that it was scheduled. She said she attended that meeting, and because Lynnwood implied to the BRB that an island would be created, the BRB suggested that Lynnwood annex the entire area. She said Lynnwood circulated a survey but only 2% of the resi- dents of the Norma Beach/Picnic Point area were interested in annexing into Lynnwood. Ms. Jennings believed that a strong show of support would arise if people east of 52nd Avenue West knew that Edmonds was interested in annexing that area. Robert Jennings, 15205 - 63rd Ave. W., said the Snohomish County Comprehensive Plan was discussed at the June 19 meeting before the BRB, and it appeared that Mukilteo, Edmonds, Everett and the County were willing to discuss the boundaries within each jurisdiction but "Lynnwood was going to go bold right through it and they were doing it their own way". Mr. Jennings said he believed the BRB was concerned about Lynnwood's posture. COUNCILMEMBER PALMER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST, TO EXPRESS INTEREST TO THE BOUND- ARY REVIEW BOARD IN STUDYING THE UNINCORPORATED AREA FROM PUGET SOUND ON THE WEST, EAST TO THE MID -POINT OF HIGHWAY 99, NORTHEAST TO THE MID -POINT OF THE MUKILTEO SPEEDWAY, NORTHWEST ALONG THE MID -POINT OF BEVERLY PARK•-EDMONDS ROAD TO THE NORTHERN BOUNDARY OF THE AREA SHOWN IN ORANGE (NORTH OF 148TH STREET SOUTHWEST TO PICNIC POINT). EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 7 July 2, 1991 City Attorney John Wallace noted that State law mandates that the study must encompass one side of the right-of-way or the other as opposed to a mid -point. COUNCILMEMBER PALMER SAID HE WOULD INCLUDE, THEN, THE EASTERN AND NORTHERN RIGHTS -OF -WAY. THE SECONDER AGREED. MOTION CARRIED. Mr. Geness requested that the City convey to the BRB that under no circumstances should the Lynn- wood boundary go westward of the eastern right-of-way of 52nd Avenue West. Councilmember Dwyer was unsure that that position should be asserted. If annexation goes through and the green area (Norma Beach) was left, by itself, he was not sure that Edmonds could economically service that area alone and that area might be better served by being part of the election. The Council recessed at 9:08 p.m. and reconvened at 9:16 p.m. During the recess City Attorney Scott Snyder arrived and City Attorney John Wallace departed. HEARING ON MASTER PLAN FOR PINE RIDGE PARK AND RECOMMENDED APPROVAL Parks & Recreation Manager Arvilla Ohlde reported that the master plan for Pine Ridge Park was completed by Gaynor Landscape Architects/Designers, Inc. Peggy Gaynor made personal visits to adjoining residences, and the City mailed twenty-five copies of the master plan draft to resi- dents. The plan and color graphics were on public display at the Frances Anderson Center during November and December of 1990. Ms. Ohlde said the emphasis of the plan is retention of the natural aspects of the park and the need for recreational use of the site. It includes an enhancement program for the natural as- pects of the park, the storm drainage impacts, the wildlife and vegetation restoration and own- ers' protections. Ms. Ohlde said the master plan is an environmentally sound plan that supports the fact that Pine Ridge Park is under great stress. The document research points out that taking no action to improve the park would be detrimental to.its environmental health. Ms. Ohlde said Staff recommends that the amendment attachment in the Council packets be included in the plan to note the City's ownership of Lot 9, Section 6377 of Woodlake Drive. Ms. Ohlde said the Planning Board recommended approval of the master plan. Mayor Naughten opened the public portion of the meeting. Harry Laban, 8308 - 208th St. S.W., said the plan was a good one, in general, but he was con- cerned with the proposal for a boardwalk around the south end of the pond. He said the prelimi- nary cost to construct the boardwalk was approximately $120,000, which represented 20% of the total construction budget, and he thought that amount was disproportionate. Mr. Laban did not believe that circumnavigating the pond should be a priority because: 1) the boardwalk would create traffic in an environmentally sensitive area; 2) trails were designed to direct traffic; and 3) the money could be spent on a better alternative. Mr. Laban believed a better alternative would be to create a series of blinds (viewpoints with heavy vegetation that allow people to look in without disturbing wildlife) off of the existing trails along the edge of the pond because the blinds would not disturb existing wildlife and would give people access to the area without invit- ing new traffic. Barry Birch, 20905 Woodlake Dr., said the protective covenants of the plat of Woodlake state that Lot 9 shall be deeded to the City of Edmonds as an extension of Pine Ridge Park with the condi- tion that it shall never be a public access to the park for those other than the residents in the plat of Woodlake. Mr. Birch was concerned with the vagueness of the tree cutting plan for the park. Mr. Birch said it is very difficult for police officers to apprehend an assailant because there are three entrances to the park, which is 46 acres. He believed the boardwalk would increase vandalism because it would provide easy access in an east/west direction in a short period of time and it would further hinder the police department's ability to apprehend assailants. Mr. Birch wondered how the fish habitat would be sustained when the pond was under reconstruc- tion. He said he would like to see a plan of the dredging process. Mr. Birch said the residents of Woodlake Drive were opposed to vehicular or pedestrian access through their neighborhoodto the park. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 8 July 2, 1991 In response to Councilmember Hertrich, Mr. Birch said the easement road to lots 7, 8, 11 and 12 of Woodlake Drive was not a public right-of-way. He said the City would have access to the park via the utility road along the west side of the pond. Ron Norman, 21004 Woodlake Dr., said he was generally in favor of developing the park, but his continuing support for park enhancement would be contingent upon a guarantee that no public ac- cess, implied or direct, was provided through Woodlake Drive. Mary Alo, 20900 Woodlake Dr., said Pine Ridge Park was in dire need of rehabilitation. She was concerned, however, with the proposal to construct the boardwalk. She said the boardwalk would adversely impact the habitat of the water fowl. In addition, provisions for clean-up and mainte- nance of the park have never been addressed. Ms. Alo was also concerned about the impact to Woodlake Drive from a potential increase in traf- fic to the park. Joe Gnagey, 20902 Woodlake Dr., submitted a letter to the City Clerk for distribution to the Council (marked Exhibit 1). Mr. Gnagey said Pine Ridge Park is very unique and has many unusual species of birds. Mr. Gnagey said the park, as it exists, works very well, although it is in need of rehabilita- tion, and he said the boardwalk would bisect the nesting habitat where the water fowl concentrate the most. Mr. Gnagey was concerned that the City's consultant, Ebasco Environmental, only made one visit to the park to address the environmental issues. He said the consultants stated that the boardwalk and trail system were designed to concentrate traffic, but Mr. Gnagey believed it would do just the opposite in the pond and destroy the intrinsic value of the park. Mr. Gnagey said the alternatives that were put forth by the residents to construct a shorter boardwalk further to the north or to create a series of observation blinds on stub trails were not addressed. Councilmember Hertrich inquired if it would be possible to create an observation blind along the south end of Woodlake Drive. Mr. Gnagey said it would be impossible because vegetation was very dense in that area. In addition, he said it would not be acceptable to residents to have anymore traffic through Woodlake Drive than already exists. Councilmember Palmer noted that one of the concerns seems to be trespass and access on the south. He inquired if a boardwalk would still be an impact if it were constructed along the edge next to a barrier fence which would protect the residential properties. Mr. Gnagey was not sure how that could be accomplished because Lot 9 is only a piece of the puzzle and there are condos adjacent to Woodlake Drive that are also private property. Jerry Igley, 20229 - 83rd, said he was in favor of park development, but it should be a quality development and not a quantity development. Mr. Igley believed the park should remain as wet- lands and not be totally developed. Mayor Naughten closed the public portion of the hearing. With respect to the boardwalk, Councilmember Dwyer believed it would be prudent to defer to na- ture, as the Council decided to with respect to the proposed structure at Brackett's Landing. It was the consensus of the Council to defer a decision until the Council, as a whole, made an on -site visit to Pine Ridge Park. COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PALMER, TO CONTINUE THE MATTER TO A DATE CERTAIN AND THAT THE COUNCIL MAKE AN ON -SITE VISIT TO PINE RIDGE PARK ON JULY 23, 1991. MOTION CARRIED. HEARING ON HEARING EXAMINER RECOMMENDATION ON VACATION OF PORTIONS OF 218TH ST. S.W. AND 219TH ST. S.W. TO ALLOW CONSTRUC I N OF 85,000 SQUARE FOT GROCERY AND DRUG STUFFTT 21900 HIGHWAY BRIAR DEVELOPMENT/ST-1-91/ -2-91 Planning Supervisor Jeff Wilson reported that Briar Development has petitioned the City to vacate a portion of the largely undeveloped rights -of -way of both 218th Street Southwest and 219th Street Southwest, east of 76th Avenue West. The proposed right-of-way vacations are located entirely within the site of the proposed Top Foods grocery store development. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 9 July 2, 1991 Mr. Wilson said the Hearing Examiner held a public hearing on both requests on June 6, 1991 and issued a recommendation on June 10, 1991 to approve the proposed street vacations subject to the applicant either paying compensation for the vacated rights -of -way or dedicating to the City .equal amounts of additional rights -of -way. Mr. Wilson said it was the recommendation of Staff to adopt the Hearing Examiner's Findings of Fact and approve both street vacation requests filed under File numbers ST-1-91 and ST-2-91, and amend the City's Official Street Map to reflect said vacations. As a procedural matter, Mayor Naughten adjourned the meeting at 10 p.m. COUNCILMEMBER PALMER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO EXTEND THE MEETING. MOTION CARRIED. Mr. Wilson submitted a breakdown of the area of rights -of -way requested to be vacated that was given to him by the applicant, as well as the area of rights -of -way that the applicant will dedi- cate as part of the project and a breakdown of the assessed valuation based on current multifami- ly and commercial designations. Councilmember Dwyer inquired if the assessment figures were based on 1988 or 1991 valuations. Mr. Wilson said they were probably 1988 figures if they were obtained in January. Mr. Wilson said the applicant was requesting that credits be applied towards the proposed vaca- tion along 220th Street as part of their compensation, which equated to approximately 12,170 square feet. He noted that the proposal to dedicate rights -of -way to the City was one that was presented by the applicant and was not a requirement of the City so the applicant was asking for credit for rights -of -way which they propose to dedicate as part of their application. Mr. Wilson said the applicant subtracted the rights -of -way from the two vacation requests to arrive with a total area to base their compensation on of 3,619 square feet of right-of-way to be vacated, zoned multifamily, and 20,969 square feet zoned commercial. They applied an average of the assessed value rate for both rights -of -way to arrive at $12,883.64 for the multifamily proper- ty and $107,780.66 for the commercial property. Mr. Wilson said the area to be credited for multifamily was calculated at $14,104.72 and $42,189.12 for commercial. Councilmember Palmer referred to attachment 1 in the Council packets. He noticed that the project boundary goes to the center line of 218th Street. He said it appeared that the northern half of the roadway was not owned by the applicant. Mr. Wilson concurred. He said the applicant was requesting to vacate the entire right-of-way, but the applicant would only own the abutting property on the north or south side of the 218th Street right-of-way. Councilmember Palmer in- quired if the property owners to the north have indicated a future need for vacation to the north half. Mr. Wilson said the City has not received any correspondence from those property owners indicating any desire or interest in that area. Mr. Wilson noted that Stevens Memorial Hospital was a co -petitioner for the vacation request of 218th Street. Mayor Naughten opened the public portion of the hearing. No input was offered. Joel Gordon, attorney representing the applicant, said Stevens Memorial Hospital was a co -peti- tioner for the vacation of 218th Street so they have essentially consented to the vacation of the full right-of-way. In response to an earlier concern by Councilmember Hertrich, Mr. Gordon said the rights -of -way for 218th and 219th never went through to Highway 99. The applicant was not asking to change a major circulation pattern because there was no opportunity for access from 76th to Highway 99. Mr. Gordon said the applicant felt it would be appropriate to receive credit for dedication as part of the project because it would not only benefit the project but the general public as well. He noted that the street was not paid for by the City but was obtained by deed of dedica- tion as part of a previous subdivision. Mr. Gordon said it was important that the Council make a determination that evening because the' applicant would like to commence construction by August 1st. He requested the Council to take action and request additional figures based on the most current assessments if they so desired. In response to a concern by Councilmember Kasper with respect to access for the hospital, Mr. Gordon said the applicant established an agreement with Stevens Memorial Hospital whereby the hospital agreed to be a co -petitioner and that the north half of the right-of-way on 218th would go to the hospital, recognizing that they did not have any need to take access off of the portion of 218th that was proposed to be vacated. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 10 July 2, 1991 City Attorney Scott Snyder noted that Mr. Gordon previously stated that the property had origi- nally been acquired by dedication as part of a subdivision, which meant that no compensation was paid for the right-of-way at the time it was acquired. Mr. Snyder said State statute provides in that situation on vacation that the property owner has only to pay one half of appraised or fair market value. He said the applicant has proceeded in accordance with the City's ordinance, but the issue raised could technically reduce the amount of compensation the application would have to pay. Mr. Gordon submitted the subdivision plat to the City Clerk (marked Exhibit 1). Councilmember Palmer recalled that the applicant offered, voluntarily to the City as a condition of the rezone, to dedicate that portion on 220th with no strings attached. Mr. Gordon concurred, noting that the City was not obligated to give the applicant credit for it. He said, however, the applicant believed it to be a fair proposal. Councilmember Palmer said he was not convinced that it was fair to come forward at the present time and "add that string". He said it was either dedicated voluntarily or it was not. Mayor Naughten closed the public portion of the hearing. Councilmembers Hertrich and Kasper expressed reservations with regard to vacating 218th Street because he said the hospital has not submitted a master plan to the City for total development, even though they have shown no desire for use of that roadway. Councilmember Dwyer noted that the hospital was a co -petitioner in the vacation request, and it would be to their misfortune should they come forward in the future with a complaint. Councilmember Kasper said he would support the request, but he believed the hospital was remiss in not submitting a master plan. COUNCILMEMBER JAECH MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO ADOPT THE HEARING EXAMINER'S FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS AND THAT THE CALCULATIONS BE BASED UPON THE 1991 ASSESSMENT. Councilmem- ber Palmer inquired if the use of the formulas include any credit. Councilmember Jaech replied affirmatively. MOTION CARRIED WITH COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH OPPOSED. PROPOSED ORDINANCE 2841 AMENDING 1991 BUDGET AS A RESULT OF UNANTICIPATED TRANSFERS AND EXPENDI- TURES OF VARIOUS FUNDS Mayor Naughten inquired if anyone in the audience wished to comment. No input was offered. COUNCILMEMBER PALMER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, TO ADOPT THE ORDINANCE 2841. MOTION CARRIED. AWARD OF BID FOR DRAINAGE AND STREET CONSTRUCTION ON 96TH AVE. W. TO GRADE, INC. ($331,228) Community Services Director Peter Hahn reported that six bids were received for this project. Grade, Inc. offered the low bid of $331,228. He recommended that a 10% contingency be added to set the budget at $364,351 and that the remaining $134,351 (beyond the $230,000 budgeted) be appropriated as follows: $34,470 from Fund 112 and $99,881 from Fund 412-200. In response to Councilmember Hertrich, Mr. Hahn said the project may consist of an eleven foot road with an extruded curb or it may be changed somewhat. Councilmember Hertrich inquired if the Council was asked to approve a seven foot walkway that would accommodate a bicycle. Mr. Hahn replied affirmatively. He said the other alternative would be to use buttons. Councilmember Hertrich expressed concern that the Council had not discussed the options. Council - member Palmer noted that although the Council may not have discussed the options as a whole, they have repeatedly in 1991 indicated a strong feeling about bicycle and walking paths in the City. Councilmember Hertrich inquired why the project was $100,000 over budget. Mr. Hahn said an esti- mate was made, but six bids were received and the lowest bid was $331,228. COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER DWYER, TO AWARD THE BID TO GRADE, INC., AND SET THE BUDGET AT THE LEVELS RECOMMENDED FROM THE SOURCES RECOMMENDED ABOVE. MOTION CARRIED. STATUS REPORT ON INTERSECTION AT 236TH AND HIGHWAY 99 Community Services Director Peter Hahn reported that the Safeway development, in compliance with Snohomish County and State D.O.T. requirements, recently installed curbing which eliminated east/west movement on 236th across Highway 99. He said Staff expressed concern about the traffic mitigation plan and potential impacts on the Ballinger neighborhood, but Snohomish County took the position that it was too late in the process to make changes. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 11 July 2, 1991 Mr. Hahn said the County's present position. was that ,they will work with the City and State to develop alternatives which do not worsen the level of service at the intersection. The City's Bell -Walker study examined the issue to some extent, in particular, a signalization option. It was recognized that the curbing will be removed because of the Highway 99 widening project. MAYOR .�. Mayor Naughten said he would recommend approval of a liquor license application for Bua Restau- rant and Scotts Bar & Grill if the Council did not object. No objection was noted. Mayor Naughten invited the Council to attend a reception in his office on July 4th from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. COUNCIL Council President Palmer requested the Council to review a letter to the Ferry Riders Coalition and indicate any changes to Staff and return it as quickly as possible. Council President Palmer said he would like to ask Olson & Graves to give a presentation to the Council at their July 27 meeting. Because several Councilmembers may not be in attendance, the meeting was rescheduled to July 30 at 6:30 p.m. in the Community Services Conference Room. COUNCILMEMBER PALMER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST, TO SELECT MERRITT & PARDINI, " SUBJECT TO COMPLETION OF A SATISFACTORY BACKGROUND REVIEW BY THE COMMUNITY SERVICES DIRECTOR, AND TO DIRECT HIM TO BEGIN NEGOTIATIONS. MOTION CARRIED. Councilmember Palmer inquired if the Council wished to be involved in the process for request for qualifications for the 1991 City-wide Transportation Plan and the Downtown Waterfront Plan. Councilmember Hertrich suggested that the Council review the RFP for the Downtown Waterfront Plan. It was the consensus of .the Council that the RFP for the 1991 City-wide Transportation Plan be reviewed by the Consultant Selection Committee. Councilmember Wilson believed the Council must address the mayoral third term issue. 000NCILMEM- BER WILSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PALMER., THAT THE CITY COUNCIL REAFFIRM THE ORDINANCE THAT SETS THE TERM LIMITATION FOR THE MAYOR'S OFFICE OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS. THE SPIRIT OF THE MOTION RESTATES THE ORIGINAL FEELINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL, ESTABLISHED IN 1983, AS WELL AS THE MORAL, ETHICAL, AND LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS THAT ARE INCUMBENT AT THE PRESENT TIME. Councilmember Hert rich believed the voters, and not the Council, should determine the term of office for the mayor. COUNCILMEMBER DWYER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH, TO AMEND TO MOTION TO HAVE THE QUESTION OF WHETHER THE CITY OF EDMONDS SHOULD HAVE THE TWO -TERM LIMITATION FOR ITS MAYOR, "YES" OR "NO", BE PLACED ON THE SEPTEMBER PRIMARY ELECTION AS AN ADVISORY BALLOT FOR A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE. A ROLL CALL VOTE WAS TAKEN. MOTION FAILED WITH COUNCILMEMBER DWYER AND COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH IN FAVOR; COUNCILMEMBER PALMER, COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST, AND COUNCILMEMBER WILSON OPPOSED. A ROLL CALL VOTE WAS TAKEN ON THE MAIN MOTION. MOTION CARRIED WITH COUNCILMEMBER PALMER, COUNCIL - MEMBER JAECH, COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST, AND COUNCILMEMBER WILSON IN FAVOR; COUNCILMEMBER DWYER AND COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH OPPOSED. COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST, TO EXCUSE COUNCIL ABSENCES AT THE SATURDAY WORK SESSION (JUNE 29, 1991). MOTION CARRIED. A question arose as to whether Satur- day meetings are included in attendance requirements. City Attorney Scott Snyder checked the .L City and State codes and advised that only regular meetings are included, and that 70% attendance is required and no more than three successive unexcused absences are permitted. Councilmember Kasper said he attended the meeting for the Technical Committee for the Ferry, and he was under the impression that they were not fully reviewing the Union Oil site and were spend- ing more time reviewing alternate sites. He suggested that the City Council and Mayor emphasize to them that the Union Oil site be completely studied. The Council recessed to an executive session at 10:50 p.m. to discuss legal matters for approxi- mately 30 minutes and adjourned thereafter. THESE MINUTES ARE SUBJECT TO JULY 16, 1991 APPROVAL.
