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. * Edmonds Community Development Code Schumacher Building HistPres designation staff report Page of 6 Packet Pg. 8 5.1.b CITY OF EDMONDS HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION SUMMARY MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING March 12, 2015 CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL Vice Chair Vogel called the meeting of the Edmonds Historic Preservation Commission to order at 5:30 p.m. in the 3" Floor Conference Room of City Hall, 121 — 5"' Avenue North.

COMMISSIONER DEINER-KARR SECONDED THE MOTION, WHICH CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. AGENDA ADDITIONS/CHANGES Item 7b (How to Begin Historic Research on a Property) was rescheduled to the April 9th meeting. Item 7a (Public Hearing related to Profitt/Astell House) was placed before Item 5a. The remainder of the agenda was accepted as presented. REQUESTS FROM THE AUDIENCE No one in the audience expressed a desire to address the Commission during this portion of the meeting. 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. 9 5.1.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. Historic Preservation Commission Minutes March 12, 2015 Page 2 Packet Pg. 10 5.1.b 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 Historic Preservation Commission Minutes March 12, 2015 Page 3 Packet Pg. 11 5.1.c 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.

MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 8. PUBLIC HEARING ON DRAFT STREETSCAPE/STREET TREES ELEMENT - 2015 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE Development Services Director Shane Hope explained draft updates to the Comprehensive Plan are being reviewed one at a time. Drafts, with refinements, will be considered all together in early July. The 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 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: • Add a new Streetscape and Street Tree section into the Comprehensive Plan to address goals and policies • 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 Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes April 21, 2015 Page 5 Packet Pg. 13 5.1.d ORDINANCE NO.3995 AN ORDINANCE DESIGNATING THE EXTERIOR OF THE PROFITT/ASTELL HOUSE LOCATED AT 825 MAIN STREET, EDMONDS, WASHINGTON FOR INCLUSION ON THE EDMONDS REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES, AND DIRECTING THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR OR DESIGNEE TO DESIGNATE THE SITE ON THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP WITH AN "HR" DESIGNATION., AND FIXING A TIME WHEN THE SAME SHALL BECOME EFFECTIVE.

In 2005, renovation began on the old Edmonds High School building (which was constructed in 1909 and served generations of Edmonds students) to convert it into what is now the Edmonds Center for the Arts. During that renovation, the original entrance portico, which was an ornate, arched structure made from formed concrete, was removed from the fagade of the building and was designated as trash. The Echelbarger family, a local family with deep roots in Edmonds, recognized the cultural significance of the portico and asked to take possession and preserve it. Permission was granted, and the Echelbargers ultimately restored the portico and mounted it in 2015 for display at the southeast corner of the Salish Crossing property at the intersection of SR 104 and Dayton St. Since no signage now exists to explain to passersby what the portico is, the Echelbarger family has requested the city partner with them in the display of the portico by developing an informational panel explaining the local historic significance of the structure. The concept of the informational panel explaining the significance of the old Edmonds High School portico was presented to the Historic Preservation Commission, and the Commission fully supports the concept. Since the portico no longer resides in its original location, however, the Commission doesn't believe leadership of the informational panel project is within the charter of the Commis Staff Recommendation Narrative See Attachment 2 (attached) Attachments: Att. 1: HPC minutes 2.14.19 Att. 2: Interpretative Panel Packet Pg. 23 7.1.a CITY OF EDMONDS HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION SUMMARY MINUTES OF MEETING February 14, 2018 CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL Chair Raetzloff called the meeting of the Edmonds Historic Preservation Commission to order at 5:30 p.m. in the 3' Floor Conference Room of City Hall, 121 — 5' Avenue North.

Packet Pg. 24 Goals and Objectives 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 Commission 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 r Theater to ask them to consider adding the property to the Register. Ms. Cunningham advised that the owners have been w approached on a number of occasions but have not been interested to date. c ACTION ITEMS E V Discussion on Library Project = 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. Q c Discussion on 2020 Historic Calendar E s This discussion was postponed to the next meeting, following the subcommittee's recommendation on goals and objectives M for 2019. They discussed that the proposed theme for the 2020 calendar is the 1960s, and it should be ready to print by Q October 151. 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. Historic Preservation Commission Minutes February 14, 2019 Page 2 Packet Pg. 25 DRAFT City Council Agenda Item Meeting Date: XXXXXX, 2019 Approval of expenditure for historic informational panel Staff Lead: Frances Chapin Department: City Council Preparer: Dave Teitzel Background/history Our community has a strong desire to preserve our rich cultural history, which is at risk of being lost to the fog of time as Edmonds continues to evolve. In 2005, renovation began on the old Edmonds High School building (which was constructed in 1909 and served generations of Edmonds students) to convert it into what is now the Edmonds Center for the Arts. During that renovation, the original entrance portico, which was an ornate, arched structure made from formed concrete, was removed from the fagade of the building and was designated as trash. The Echelbarger family, a local family with deep roots in Edmonds, recognized the cultural significance of the portico and asked to take possession and preserve it. Permission was granted, and the Echelbargers ultimately restored the portico and mounted it in 2015 for display at the southeast corner of the Salish Crossing property at the intersection of SR 104 and Dayton St. Since no signage now exists to explain to passersby what the portico is, the Echelbarger family has requested the city partner with them in the display of the portico by developing an informational panel explaining the local historic significance of the structure. The concept of the informational panel explaining the significance of the old Edmonds High School portico was presented to the Historic Preservation Commission, and the Commission fully supports the concept. Since the portico no longer resides in its original location, however, the Commission doesn't believe leadership of the informational panel project is within the charter of the Commission and they defer to the city's Cultural Services manager, Frances Chapin, to lead this project. Recommendation Approve funding of up to $5,000 for design, fabrication and installation of an informational panel explaining the historic significance of the original Edmonds High School portico now displayed at the intersection of SR 104 and Dayton St. There are two potential funding sources for this project: the Council Contingency Fund, which has approx. $20,500 remaining for 2019, or the General Fund balance. The Finance Committee may select either funding source at its discretion. However, it should be noted two previous informational panels requested by Council and installed in 2017--one in Yost Park and the other at the southern end of Sunset Avenue --were funded via the Council contingency fund. Packet Pg. 26 Narrative An informational panel of approximately 18" x 48" (similar to the size and design of the existing informational panels at Marina Beach Park and on the southern end of Sunset Ave) is proposed to explain to passersby the historic significance of the old Edmonds High School portico now located at the intersection of SR 104 and Dayton St. in the southeast corner of the Salish Crossing parking lot. The Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Dept. will take the lead in coordinating production of the panel, which will be made by Fossil Industries and constructed of durable, UV -resistant polycarbonate material. The panel will feature, on the left side of the panel, a historic photo of the portico in its original location on the facade of the old Edmonds High School with descriptive text on the right side of the panel. This is similar to the design of the informational panel now mounted at the southern end of Sunset Ave. showing the view from that spot approximately 100 years ago. A photo of the Sunset Ave. informational panel is shown below for reference: r WrkiY . =' �kca7akr�Firw057.iktnCd.1910Gum1pprmx1nra1aLythw%Am* you are srarlrNryk, C11L L9°0{ i%W HMOIWl Lmn4rjle,l,L41 into.yn . ,7..., FhPlL L,h alnr Nn Lmrn4Hu-n llnP sli cjri m11L4 'F lIIrf nfl 0d-kV29i 11 wVMlLln IN]Lrrdrnyy I%Lrn6u[ k-, .. •r r� LINP plat Mg hvt4r4g1 kj4pM4 tO,e1~t 13y'f10 i'i ib Of W*Whl W5I II 1105t Ufl:&nnn[J r1°111Li4T m 10 [LflW.

Our Cultural Services department is well versed on maintaining this consistency 2 a Packet Pg. 27 7.1.b in appearance and message, and will ensure the proposed portico informational panel is tastefully done and has consistency of design with other informational panels currently installed in Edmonds. The initial draft of descriptive text for the proposed Edmonds High School portico informational panel is: "This structure is the original entrance portico for the old Edmonds High School building which was constructed in 1909 at 6t" Ave. and Glen St. Many generations of Edmonds students passed through this portico to begin their school days. The portico remained at that location until 2005 as the building was converted over time for various uses —including a junior high and a small college. The portico was removed from the high school building in 2005 as renovation commenced to convert the building into what is now Edmonds Center for the Arts. The portico was stored, restored to original condition, and then installed at this site in 2015 for the public to view and enjoy." This panel will be constructed of UV -resistant polycarbonate that will last for decades —similar to the existing informational panels at Marina Beach Park and Sunset Ave. The cost of each panel is estimated at $5,000, including a design fee of $2,700 and a production/mounting fee of $2,200. The project management of this project will be handled by the Edmonds Cultural Services Department, and field installation will be handled by the Edmonds parks maintenance team to minimize project expenses.
