Goals and Obiectives for 2019
The Commission formed a Subcommittee (Commissioners Scott, Vogel, Waite and Kelly) to review the ordinance that
established the Commission and come up with goals for the coming year that will reenergize the group. Commissioner Vogel
was assigned to serve as chair of the subcommittee. They discussed that their main objective should be to place properties
and sites on the Register. Currently, there are 19. They also discussed that it might be helpful if Commissioners kept a log of
the hours they spend doing Commission work.
Portico at Cascadia Art Museum (Echelbargers
The Commission reviewed a request from the owner of the Salish Crossing property for a plaque or sign on the portico to
explain its significance to Edmonds History. They agreed it is not within the Commission's purview to nominate the portico
for the Register, but they could provide assistance as needed. Vice Chair Kelly agreed to speak with Frances Chapin,
Edmonds Cultural Services Manager, about the Edmonds Arts Festival taking the lead.
Property Interested in Historic Register
The Commission discussed the home at 560 Bell Street as a potential candidate for the Register. It was noted that a
nomination application was prepared previously, but the property owner requested that it be withdrawn. The owner recently
met with Commissioner Raetzloff and indicated a desire to move the nomination forward, but there are some concerns about
its ability to meet the criteria. Vice Chair Kelly agreed to look for historic photographs of the house, and she and
Commissioner Waite would conduct a site visit. They agreed to report back at the next Commission meeting. Commissioner
Raetzloff agreed to contact the property owner to arrange the site visit.
The Commission also discussed the process of adding the Mowatt Wells house to the Edmonds Register of Historic Places. It
was noted that it is already on the National Register. Ms. Cunningham agreed to send an application letter to the property
owner, requesting a signature so it can move forward to a public hearing.
Commissioner Preston said he has been working with Commissioner Diener -Karr to contact the owners of the Princess
Theater to ask them to consider adding the property to the Register. Ms. Cunningham advised that the owners have been
approached on a number of occasions but have not been interested to date.
ACTION ITEMS
Discussion on Library Proiect
This discussion was postponed to the next meeting, since Commissioner Johnson (the lead) was not present at the meeting. It
was noted that the Commission is scheduled to provide a display at the Edmonds Library in August.
Discussion on 2020 Historic Calendar
This discussion was postponed to the next meeting, following the subcommittee's recommendation on goals and objectives
for 2019. They discussed that the proposed theme for the 2020 calendar is the 1960s, and it should be ready to print by
October 151h. It was suggested that they need to have a better plan for distributing the calendars next time. Ms. Cunningham
advised that there are still two boxes of 2019 calendars left.

2.1.a
Commission Attendance Polic
Ms. Cunningham reminded the Commissioners of the attendance policy. Commissioners who have three consecutive
unexcused absences will be removed from the Commission. Excused absences include work, illness and planned vacations.
The Commissioners voiced concern that when individuals miss a large number of meetings, whether excused or not, it puts a
strain on the group's ability to have a quorum at each of their meetings. They asked the subcommittee that was formed to
discuss goals and objectives to also consider the idea of expanding the Commission to nine members. Ms. Cunningham
agreed to email the attendance policy from the ordinance to the Commissioners, along with a request that they notify her as
soon as possible if they won't be able to attend a meeting so she can establish whether a quorum will be present or not. The
letter should quantify the number of times over the past year where the lack of a quorum prevented the Commission from
having a meeting and moving agenda items forward. Members who cannot contribute on a consistent basis could be asked to
reconsider their positions and perhaps step down and allow someone else an opportunity to participate.
HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION CHAIR COMMENTS
Vice Chair Kelly announced that the Edmonds Museum would be open again on Saturday, February 16'
HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSIONER COMMENTS
Commissioner Preston said it would be helpful to have a recap of each meeting so that everyone understands their
assignments and is prepared for the next meeting. Ms. Cunningham agreed to send the draft minutes out earlier, and they
asked the Commission Chair to send out an email immediately following the meeting reminding everyone of their
assignments.
Commissioner Vogel recognized and thanked Council Member Teitzel for his service to the City. He asked him to consider
returning to serve on the Historic Preservation Commission when his term on the City Council is finished.
The Commissioners thanked Commissioner Raetzloff for serving as their chair for the past two years.
ADJOURNMENT
The meeting was adjourned at 6:32 p.m.

Statement of This simple house is somewhat unusual for the use of brick as a cladding material. Located on a relatively large corner lot, the assembly recalls the early 20th-century4�
Significance development of the city.
Description of The house and garage are both front -facing gable types with brick veneer cladding. The house is characterized by a projecting, hip roof bay on the primary north fagade and a
Physical symmetrically placed center door and attic casement window. A pair of double -hung wood windows is located on this fagade also. Both windows feature soldier coursing at their
Appearance heads. The large, engaged brick chimney, on the east side, appears to be non -original. The garage, which faces east on 6th Avenue North, is a tall, 1 1/2-story structure, which
may have functioned as a stable.
