NEW BUSINESS
Social Media Policy
Ms. Cunningham said she is the manager of the information that the Commission posts on Facebook. She provided copies of
the Social Media Policy for the Commissioners' information.
Goals and Objectives for 2019
The Commissioners reviewed the summary report from the Goals and Objectives Subcommittee discussions. The report
included a list of what the Commission has done in the past, what it is currently doing, and potential ideas/goals moving
forward. They specifically discussed the following items on the list:
• The Commission could work to foster pride amongst property owners on the Register and perhaps initiate an historic
tour of properties on the Register. Other ideas included reviving the walking tour and putting out a regular e-
newsletter.
• Commissioner Vogel advised that he would update the historic preservation slideshow and present it to the
Daybreakers Rotary Club on May 14'.
• Commissioner Vogel shared a rough draft of the next edition of THE PRESERVATIONIST, which will include
information about the Commission and feature the Campbell House.
• Council Member Johnson suggested that the Commission could ask the City Council's Administrative Assistant to
help research the creation of an historic district, time permitting.
• The Commission discussed the idea of establishing a reference library to provide information to owners of historic
properties regarding restoration, etc. It was suggested that perhaps the information could be made available in the
Development Services Green Resource Center.
• They discussed the idea of posting information on the City's social media sites, such as recognizing a property
owner's good work in rehabilitation efforts.
Commissioner Vogel agreed to clean up and prioritize the list of ideas/goals for the Commissioners to discuss at their June
meeting. Once the draft is available, Ms. Cunningham agreed to forward it to all Commissioners.
Creative District Advisory Committee
Chair Johnson explained that each of the City's Boards and Commissions was invited to send a representative to the advisory
committee meetings. Commissioner Waite would represent the Commission at the May 91 meeting and Chair Johnson
would attend the next meeting. They agreed it would be helpful for the Commission representatives to report back to the
Commission.
Property at 314 Caspers Street
Commissioner Preston agreed to do a site visit and contact the owner to discuss the property's eligibility for inclusion on the
Register. It was noted that there is a giant sequoia tree on Caspers Street that should be brought to the attention of the Tree
Board, as well.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Discussion on Library Proiect
Chair Johnson reported that the subcommittee was unable to meet last week, so there is nothing new to report. They will
provide an update on the project at the June meeting.
ACTION ITEMS
Property Interested in Historic Register
The Commission once again discussed the 560 Bell Street property's eligibility for inclusion on the Register. They reviewed
the criteria and agreed that the home would meet Criteria 4, "Exemplifies or reflects special elements of the City's cultural,
social, economic, political, aesthetic, engineering or architectural history. " It was noted that the property has not been
changed in any way since 1942. They indicated general support for moving the nomination forward.
Ms. Cunningham agreed to research the City's records for information regarding the home's history. They were particularly
interested in learning more about the remodel that occurred in 1942. They asked that Mr. Lien and Commissioner Waite
share their concerns about the property's eligibility at the June meeting. Commissioner Raetzloff agreed to contact the
property owner to sign the application so the nomination could move forward. The goal was to conduct a public hearing on
the application in July.
HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION CHAIR COMMENTS
Chair Johnson did not have any comments to share.
HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSIONER COMMENTS
The Commissioners voiced concern about the number of historic properties that are demolished every year. While they are
working to get big houses like the Campbell house on the Register, the little houses that are representative of most of the
people who lived in Edmonds historically are being torn down. They agreed to be more proactive in seeking out smaller
homes that might qualify for the Register.
Commissioners Vogel and Preston shared their research on the history of the Old Windmill Tower, noting that it was
originally constructed to be a copper smelter and the windmill was decorative.
The Commissioners discussed property on Caspers Street that was used as a watchtower for possible Japanese ships coming
in. The also discussed that there was an air watch tower near Claire's Pantry. They discussed the idea of placing these
properties on the Register based on their connection to people in the City's history.
ADJOURNMENT
The meeting was adjourned at 6:38 p.m.

Meeting Date: July 11, 2019
Agenda Subject: Application for designation of the house located at 560 Bell Street as
eligible for inclusion on the Edmonds Register of Historic Places
Staff Lead: Kernen Lien, Environmental Programs Manager
Staff recommendation:
Staff has reservations about including the house at 560 Bell
Street on the Edmonds Register of Historic places. These
reservations are two -fold.
First is the designation criteria that the property is
significantly associated with the history, architecture,
archaeology, engineering or cultural heritage of Edmonds.
This is tied to the period of significance as well at the
integrity criteria, both of which are discussed below.
Second is in regard to which designation category the
residence meets.

significant from an architecture,
archaeology or engineering stand point
If the Historic Preservation Commission
finds this house is significantly
associated with the history and cultural
heritage of Edmonds, this period of
significance is also tied to the integrity
criteria below.
The statement of significance from the
BOLA reports notes that the house recalls
the early 20' century development of the
city. While the house was originally
constructed in 1911, it was altered circa
1942 with the brick veneer being added as
well as minor alterations to floor plan. If
1942 is being identified as the period of
significance, how it is significantly
associated with the history, architecture,
archaeology, engineering or cultural
heritage of 1942 Edmonds needs to be
identified.
2. Has integrity...
❑
Originally constructed in 1911, the house
was modified circa 1942 with the addition
of the brick cladding and minimal
changes to the floor plan. There does not
appear to have been any significant
changes to the house since 1942. If the
period of significance is determined to be
the 1942 remodel, then the building may
be considered to meet the integrity
criteria.

Notes on historic register nominations:
Chapter 20.45.020 ECDC* states that if the Commission finds that the nominated property is eligible
for placement on the Edmonds Register of Historic Places, the Commission shall make a
recommendation to the City Council that the property be listed on the register with owner's consent.
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.

Notes on historic register nominations:
Chapter 20.45.020 ECDC* states that if the Commission finds that the nominated property is eligible
for placement on the Edmonds Register of Historic Places, the Commission shall make a
recommendation to the City Council that the property be listed on the register with owner's consent.
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.

NEW BUSINESS
Public Hearing to Determine the Eligibility of the "Profitt/Astell House" Located at 825 Main Street for Listing on the
Edmonds Register of Historic Places (File Number PLN20100013)
Mr. Lien referred to the application for designation of the Profitt/Astell House at 825 Main Street for inclusion on the
Edmonds Register of Historic Places and noted that the property owner has signed the nomination form. He briefly reviewed
how the application meets the following designation criteria:
Packet Pg. 31
6.1.b
• The structure must be significantly associated with the history, architecture, archaeology, engineering or cultural
heritage of Edmonds. Mr. Lien explained that the home is associated with the early residential growth of Edmonds and
is associated with George Profitt, a one-time water superintendent and plumbing proprietor of Reliable Flooring, and
James Astell (son of Carrie Yost Astell) who served several terms as a City Council Member, as well as the town's fire
chief.
• The structure must have integrity. Mr. Lien explained that the house is a largely intact example of a two-story
Craftsman bungalow.
• The structure must be at least 50 years old. Mr. Lien advised that the home was constructed in 1901 and is 114 years
old.
Mr. Lien explained that in addition to the above criteria, the property must meet at least one of the eleven designation
categories listed in Edmonds Community Development Code 20.45.010 (A through K). He reviewed that the subject
property would be consistent with the following categories:
• Embodies the distinctive architectural characteristics of a type, period, style or method of design or construction, or
represents a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction. Mr. Lien
explained that the subject house is an example of a two-story Craftsman bungalow.
• Is associated with the lives of persons significant in national, state or local history. Again, Mr. Lien advised that the
home is associated with the early residential growth of Edmonds and is associated with George Profitt, a one-time water
superintendent and plumbing proprietor of Reliable Flooring, and James Astell (son of Carrie Yost Astell) who served
several terms as a City Council Member, as well as the town's fire chief.
• Is a building or structure removed from its location but which is significant primarily for architectural value, or
which is the only surviving structure significantly associated with a historic person or event. Mr. Lien explained that
the BOLA Report and application noted that the house was once located on a knoll on the site of the original grade
school on Main Street approximately two blocks west of its current location. It is noted that the house was purchased by
George Profitt in 1928 and moved to its current location. This would have been around the time that the Edmonds
Elementary School (currently the Francis Anderson Center) was constructed.
Next, Mr. Lien reviewed that the house is a two-story, rectangular Craftsman bungalow, and the significant features include
the front gabled roof, full -width hip roofed front porch, windows, and supporting brackets at the gable ends. He
recommended that the Commission find the application meets the criteria and is eligible for designation on the Edmonds
Register of Historic Places. The exterior of the structure contains the significant features. He further recommended the
Commission make a recommendation to the City Council that the property be listed on the Edmonds Register of Historic
Places. He provided historic photographs of the home.
Commissioner Tays noted that the 1st story windows on the west side are not original, and were probably changed when the
building was moved. The leaded glass windows were a common feature of homes in the late 20s and early 30s. It was noted
that the windows are still more than 50 years old.
The Commission had a brief discussion about what the property's official name should be. Mr. Lien reminded the
Commission that one of the criteria is that the property is associated with someone of significance in the City, and Mr. Profitt
and Mr. Astell were both historic figures. However, he acknowledged that neither was involved with the home's
construction. It was noted the property is identified as the "Profitt/Astell House" in the BOLA Report. When asked, the
owner of the home, Kirsten Paust, indicated she did not have a preference. The Commission agreed the appropriate name for
the home is "Profitt/Astell House."
Commissioner Waite reminded the applicant that, once the property is listed on the Register, a Certificate of Appropriateness
would be required for changes that require a building permit. He encouraged the homeowners to approach the Commission
for advice and support relative to any changes proposed in the future to ensure the historic integrity of the home is
maintained.

COMMISSIONER WAITE MOVED THAT THE COMMISSION FIND THAT THE PROFITT/ASTELL HOUSE
(FILE NUMBER PLN20100013) MEETS THE DESIGNATION CRITERIA. HE FURTHER MOVED THAT THE
COMMISSION RECOMMEND TO THE CITY COUNCIL THAT THE PROPERTY BE LISTED ON THE
EDMONDS REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES. COMMISSIONER ALLBERY SECONDED THE MOTION,
WHICH CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
It was announced that Mayor Earling is scheduled to conduct a plaque ceremony at the Schumacher Building on June 2nd. It
was anticipated that the plaque ceremony for the Profitt/Astell House could take place on the same day.
COMMITTEE REPORTS
Registration Committee
Commissioner Tays pointed out that several applications for the Register were submitted immediately following the BOLA
Report and are in the City's files. The owners of the properties received notification and are likely waiting for the
Commission to move the applications forward.
The Commissioners discussed the status of the project to expand the historic survey beyond the BOLA Report. Ms
Cunningham reviewed that the City received a grant for the expanded study, and staff is in the process of finding a
consultant. Commissioner Deiner-Karr suggested, and the remainder of the Commission concurred, that they should set forth
specific criteria for the expanded study.
Education and Outreach Committee
Vice Chair Vogel said he would provide a presentation regarding the history of Edmonds at Edmonds Landing on April 20th
at 1:30 p.m. They have invited him to concentrate his presentation on personalities from Edmonds' history.
Preservation Planning Committee
Commissioner Tays said the Preservation Planning Committee would like a future meeting agenda to be devoted to training
the Commissioners on how to "assess the integrity of historic structures." The Commissioners reviewed previous
applications and discussed specific concerns that needed to be addressed as part of the training.
South Snohomish County Historical Society
Commissioner Allbery reported that the Society's website is being reformatted so that it can be updated and managed in-
house. Vice Chair Vogel agreed to ask the Society for permission to provide the Commissioners with a link to their server.
Commissioner Allbery said the Society must relocate the storage items that are currently at the former Woodway Elementary
School by June. A potential alternative facility has been found, but it is located further away.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Discussion on the 2015 Strategic Plan
Commissioner Waite advised that the Preservation Planning Committee met recently, and the focus of their discussion was
the Strategic Plan. Commissioner Tays noted that many of the corrections are intended to clarify the inconsistent terms that
are used in the Comprehensive Plan. Ms. Cunningham advised that the City is in the process of updating its Comprehensive
Plan, and potential amendments must be brought forward as soon as possible. Commissioner Waite agreed to forward the
updated Strategic Plan to the staff and Commissioners for review. Ms. Cunningham suggested that it might be necessary to
have a special meeting to take action on the Strategic Plan so that necessary amendments to the Comprehensive Plan can go
forward as part of the current update.
Discussion on the Morris/Frost House
Commissioner Deiner-Karr recommended that the Morris/Frost House (formerly known as the Bigelow House) be renamed
the "Elwell House." She reviewed historical information showing that the property where the structure is located, as well as
the surrounding properties, was originally owned by Pleasant Elwell, who obtained them via a preemptive claim under the
Homestead Act. The site was originally developed with a cabin that was eventually replaced with the current structure. She

water, sewer and roads and things that are really important although he objected to some of the methods
for financing utilities. The Water Fund currently has a balance of $13 million, another fund has $8 million
and the Sewer Fund has $42 million from the bond sale although there are not $42 million in projects.
Staff has proposed to "soak us all well now for what they want to do in the future" which he assumed
meant more committees, staff, etc. Residents will be restricted from cutting trees on their own property,
fees for staff and penalties if they did it wrong, as well as billed for utility work that will not be done in
the near future. He suggested reversing the process by eliminating extra committees and the proposal by
the Tree Board to restrict property rights so there is time to deal with things like how much citizens are
being billed. He summarized the most volatile issue to Edmonds citizens is restricting their property
rights.
Councilmember Bloom referred to the passionate plea made by two citizens related to the Edmonds
Conference Center which has also included emails to Council in February. She suggested they be given
some idea whether the Council intends to take any action regarding the Edmonds Conference Center.
Mayor Earling said Council President Fraley-Monillas intends to bring that up under Council Comments
at end of the agenda.
7. PUBLIC HEARING ON AN ORDINANCE DESIGNATING THE PROFITT/ASTELL HOUSE

8. PUBLIC HEARING ON DRAFT STREETSCAPE/STREET TREES ELEMENT - 2015
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE
Ln
Development Services Director Shane Hope explained draft updates to the Comprehensive Plan are being r
reviewed one at a time. Drafts, with refinements, will be considered all together in early July. The ry
existing Comprehensive Plan does not have a specific section regarding street trees and streetscape; the
2006 Streetscape Plan is adopted by reference and includes various appendices such as the Street Tree o
Plan. This update includes only minor amendments to the Street Tree Plan; further revisions to the plan
will be made in the future. She reviewed the current proposal with regard to a streetscape and street trees:
`m
• Add a new Streetscape and Street Tree section into the Comprehensive Plan to address goals and x
policies w
• Make minor adjustments to the Street Tree Plan to allow for better performing trees along certain
trees;
• Do not adopt the Streetscape Plan by reference, but include it as an appendix to the
Comprehensive Plan.
• Add two implementation strategies to the Streetscape & Street Tree section of the Comprehensive
Plan
1. Develop an update to the Street Tree Plan by the end of 2016
2. Develop an Urban Forest Management Plan by the end of 2107
The Planning Board discussed the Streetscape & Street Tree Section on March 11 t1' (introduction) and
April 18th (recommendation) and the Tree Board discussed the same material on April 9t1i. Through
meetings with staff from the Parks and Recreation Department, staff identified the following key points:
• Certain tree species in the existing Street Tree Plan (2006) were underperforming or the wrong
shape and size for the area indicated for planting
• The existing Street Tree Plan Map was difficult to read
