19740226 City Council Minutesa community park will be honored. All that needs to be done now is to decide
which corner, and which 10 acres we want. This matter will come before the
Park Board for discussion, and then a date will be set for.a public hearing.
Persons living in that area will then be able to voice opinions as to whether
or not they want a park. Following that, the people would then be approached
for funds to develop and equip the park. Mayor Harrison asked if it would be
possible to get the entire high ground. Mr. Weaver said this has not been
considered, but is something to think about.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Minutes of the council meeting -of February 19 had been posted, mailed and dis-
tributed, and with no omissions nor corrections, they were approved as written..
COUNCIL PARTICIPATION
Councilwoman Shippen, as ex officio member,of the Park Board, asked to delegate
some of the responsibility in regard to the Brookacres property to Councilman
Welling. She -felt he would be in a better position to discuss the matter, and
Councilman Welling agreed that he would be glad to talk with the owner. IT WAS
THEREFORE MOVED BY COUNCILWOMAN SHIPPEN, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN GELLERT THAT
COUNCILMAN WELLING BE AUTHORIZED TO UNDERTAKE A DISCUSSION WITH THE OWNER OF THE
BROOKACRES PROPERTY REGARDING THE VARIOUS WAYS OF ACQUIRING THE PROPERTY, AND TO
FIND ANY ALTERNATIVES FOR ACQUISITION, AND TO PRESENT THESE TO THE PARK BOARD
AND COUNCIL. Councilman Nelson stated that he was against acquiring property
without knowing a specific plan or what is going to be done with the property; he
did not recall council having made any committments to acquire this particular
property; and he would have no qualms if Councilman Welling was just advised to
have a fact finding discussion and not represent city interests to convey and.
false hopes for purchase. Councilwoman Shippen agreed that she meant for Council-
man Welling to express interest only. COUNCILMAN NELSON THEN MOVED TO AMEND THE
MOTION TO INCLUDE THAT THIS BE -A FACT FINDING DISCUSSION ONLY. SECONDED BY COUN-
CILWOMAN SHIPPEN. THE AMENDMENT CARRIED, AND THE MOTION AS AMENDED ALSO CARRIED'.
Councilman Nordquist reported that the Blue Ribbon Committee had held its first
meeting with•all but one member in attendance, as well as all but one council
• member in attendance. He stated that the Committee was -,a fine group, and the
study would prove to be a very exciting and interesting one. No chairman had as
yet been chosen, but this would no doubt be done after a couple of meetings.
Mayor Harrison advised that a spokesman for the Service Stations in the area had
met with the City staff at a CDC meeting. He noted that 8 stations had closed,
.cutting the allocation of gasoline coming into the area. The Mayor stated that
the stations would like to be given permission to use sandwich boards in order to
inform the public of their operations. Attorney John Wallace advised that in order
to waive the requirements regarding sandwich boards in the city, it would take an
amendment to the ordinance. He noted that the stations could make application for
street use permits for signs on the sidewalk, as invasion of R/W. The Mayor said
about 14 stations would be affected, and perhaps they could all apply for a permit
as soon as possible, with a time limit of approximately 3 months placed on it, and
this limit could then be extended, if necessary. Councilman Gellert moved that
the Mayor be authorized to write letters to the Governor and the.Federal Energy
Office in Seattle, appraising them of the situation, but Mayor Harrison answered
that he had already sent a letter to the Department of Emergency Services in -
Olympia. There followed some discussion on a meeting of service station operators
to come to an agreement on procedures to solve their problems. Councilman Winters
said he felt any application fee for street use permits should be waived in these'
cases. .Attorney Wallace answered that there was no fee set by ordinance, but
further discussion resulted in a MOTION BEING MADE BY COUNCILMAN ANDERSON, SECONDED
BY COUNCILMAN GELLERT THAT THE CITY WAIVE ANY FEES CONNECTED WITH THESE EMERGENCY
RIGHT-OF-WAY PERMITS FOR THE GASOLINE STATIONS. THE MOTION CARRIED.
Discussion was held on the group favoring a golf course on the University of
Washington property, and following this, a MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILWOMAN SHIPPEN,-
SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN GELLERT THAT REGARDLESS OF WHAT ACTION THE CITY MAY TAKE IN
• THE FUTURE ON THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON PROPERTY, THAT THE CITY SUGGEST THAT THE
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS REQUEST THE EDMONDS GOLF AND RECREATION COMMITTEE TO PROVIDE
AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT ON THE PROPERTY, AND THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT OUT-
LINE THE TYPES OF INFORMATION WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE INCLUDED IN THIS STATEMENT.
Council then discussed this matter further, and it was MOVED BY COUNCILMAN NELSON,
SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN WINTERS TO TABLE THIS MOTION, A ROLL CALL VOTE SHOWED
GELLERT, NELSON, NORDQUIST AND WINTERS IN FAVOR; WELLING, SHIPPEN AND ANDERSON
AGAINST. Attorney Wallace advised that it takes a majority plus one to table, and
the motion therefore failed to carry. Following some further discussion on the
motion, COUNCILMAN ANDERSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN NORDQUIST TO AMEND THE
MOTION TO STATE THAT WE NOTIFY THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS TO INCLUDE AN ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACT STATEMENT AS PART OF THE PROCESS AT SOMETIME DURING DEVELOPMENT FROM THE
PRELIMINARY TO THE FINAL PLAN FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON PROPERTY. THIS
AMENDMENT CARRIED. Ward Phillips, in the audience, told council that he felt it
was not fair to require environmental impact statements in all cases; that this
could be a very expensive item since it involved a great deal. Further discussion
followed, and COUNCILMAN NELSON MOVED TO AMEND, SECONDED BY COUNCILWOMAN SHIPPEN,
THAT THE MAIN MOTION BE CHANGED TO REPLACE THE WORDS "ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT" WITH
THE WORDS "ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT". VOTE ON THE AMENDMENT CARRIED, AND VOTE ON
THE MAIN MOTION, AS AMENDED, ALSO CARRIED.
At this point, Ward Phillips inquired about an agenda item concerning the consoli-
dation study being made in south county, and the City Clerk advised that Wayne .
Cobbs, speaker regarding the consolidation issue, was: -on the March 5 city council
agenda.
Discussion was held on the Amenities Design Board fees. They were $20.00 for

structural and for non-structural. It was noted that the $20.00 fee was being
charged in all cases, and it was not the intent of the ad hoc committee that a
charge be made in this manner. City Planner Wallis stated that the fee was in
the ordinance. Councilman Anderson brought to council attention page 14 in the
ordinance which notes fees. Mayor Harrison stated that society, not the applicant,
is benefitting from this appearance before the Design Board. A MOTION WAS MADE BY
COUNCILMAN NELSON, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN WINTERS THAT THE PERMIT APPLICATION FEES
ALREADY CHARGED BE RETURNED. Councilwoman Shippen felt the city should return the
non-structural monies,,but not the structural. Further discussion, and a ROLL CALL
VOTE SHOWED COUNCILMEN NELSON, NORDQUIST AND WINTERS IN FAVOR: WELLING, GELLERT,
SHIPPEN AND ANDERSON AGAINST,AND THE MOTION FAILED. IT WAS THEN MOVED BY COUNCIL-
MAN ANDERSON, SECONDED BY COUNCILWOMAN SHIPPEN TO RETURN $18 OF THE $20 FEE TO THE
THREE NON-STRUCTURAL APPLICANTS WHO HAD PAID THIS AMOUNT TO'DATE. THIS MOTION
CARRIED.Following further comments regarding fees, A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCIL-
MAN GELLERT, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN WINTERS THAT THE AMENITIES DESIGN BOARD ORDI-
NANCE' SECTION 12.20.080 BE AMENDED TO READ THAT APPLICATION FEES FOR ANY ACTION
REQUIRING STRUCTURAL REVIEW BE $20 AND ALL OTHERS BE $2.00 MOTION CARRIED.
HEARING ON UNDERGROUNDING FORMULA FOR BN, BC, CW, AND ARTERIALS
Councilwoman Shippen stated that in 1969 the 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 formula was started for
undergrounding, with the city, utilities, and adjacent property owners sharing
equally in the costs on the R/W. Since then, Sunset Avenue and a short section of
9th Avenue have been the only places using these monies and this system. The city
now has $90,000 in this fund, but the cost to the average property owner, plus the
hook-up fee, is costly. The present formula does not encourage undergrounding
except on a piecemeal basis. Therefore, Councilwoman Shippen said she felt more
cooperation would be forthcoming if the formula was amended to a 50% city share,
50% Utilities share, (for the R/W) and the property owners charged the hook-up fee •
in the BN, BC, CW zones and arterials. She felt the first step would be for the
city to increase its obligation. Hearing was then opened.
Dave Larson said he had become very aware of the visual effect of the overhead
wires in the city, and he would strongly endorse Councilwoman Shippen's :proposal,
also feeling that the business community would support this. He thought under -
grounding the wires would substantially increase the pleasurable pedestrian ex-
perience in Edmonds. Frank Reis, representing the PUD, advised council that the
PUD policy could only be made by the Commissioners of the District. He stated
that a survey by the PUD of customers in Snohomish County showed that the people
agreed that they would like to have undergrounding, but the question on their
willingness to pay showed an extremely low yes vote. He said that undergrounding
was a -strictly cosmetic or aesthetic value and does not affect the quality -of
service. The PUD could support the 1/3 share of the cost, but their personnel had
tried to sell undergrounding to the property owners when 9th Avenue was improved
in Edmonds, and as council knew, they sold only a small section north of Main.
Mr. Reis said that it was his personal feeling that the Commissioners and Adminis-
tration of PUD would not wish to go over the 1/3 share, as the customers were not
interested in higher utility costs that may result. Councilwoman Shippen said she
felt the PUD should have separated the areas in their questionnaire on underground-
ing, as they might find a difference in cities that would benefit greatly,. and
those that would not. Councilman Gellert asked if the PUD had ever considered
budgeting undergrounding monies via a formula with a certain amount for Edmonds,
for example, etc. Mr. Reis answered that they would have real problems in this
manner, and cannot discriminate between customers and areas. Al Kincaid said he
as an individual felt that the greatest benefit would be to underground the wires
in downtown Edmonds. A change in policy would take a selling job to the PUD Com-
missioners, Telephone Company, and Cable TV. He said he would like to see a meet- •
ing between the council, PUD Commissioners, and the people interested in the town
to explore this. Bill Brill, District Engineer of Construction for the Telephone
Company, reminded council of a letter written in 1967 outlining the policy and
practices of the company, which have not changed. He said that extra costs would
go into the rates charged the customers, and Arlington, for example, wouldn't want
undergrounding as much as Edmonds would, but all customers would pay with any re-
sulting increase in rates from undergrounding.
Dave Larson suggested that as Councilman Gellert had stated, if PUD and Telephone
Company allocate fixed amounts in their budgets with a workable formula, it would
seem to be in the best interest of all people in the service area. Ward Phillips
stressed that Edmonds has the desire to have undergrounding now, and council should
decide first on the formula. He stated that the downtown community has an absolute
committment on the part of the NB of C bank to help the property owners to finance
the fees to hookup to the undergrounding; they are 100% behind this effort; that it
would be a home improvement concept regarding the loan; that they are ready, able,
and -willing to go ahead; and that there are favorable terms of up to 7 years to
pay. Mr. Phillips added that if the council goes along with the formula, the mer-
chants have agreed to participate, and this would leaye only the Utility companies.
Councilman Anderson had a question regarding maintenance cost.on poles versus the
underground system, and was told that there was no great difference or advantage.
Mayor Harrison asked Mr. Reis if the PUD had experienced problems with the under-
ground wires in plats and commercial areas. Mr. Reis answered that the underground-
ing cost was two and a half times over the cost of overhead wires, and some prob-
lems had plaqued them in these areas. There was discussion on costs, and the plan
of the PUD to use alleys for the poles where reasonable. Councilman Nelson stated
0
•
that under.the 50%.formula, the.city was still spending the people's money; the
50% from the Utilities would increase rates which would.be the people's money; and
the people would be paying, regardless of the original 1/3 being deleted from their
direct cost. He also wondered why only the BN, BC, CW zones; why not all zones
under this formula? Councilwoman Shippen answered that it was more appropriate to
participate heavily on the business areas where all people would benefit. Al Kincaid
stated that the merchants were ready.to go if the city funded on a first come,.first
served basis, and the council should give some thought to that fact. He added that
the 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 basis had not been discussed when.the bank agreed to handle the
hookup fees. Bill Shaw, PUD, answered questions from council on power poles to
be placed in the alleys downtown. Councilman Nordquist inquired about the area
contemplating.undergrounding downtown. Ward Phillips said the CBD..` Mayor
Harrison said it.was hoped that this summer the city could have old-time type
light fixtures installed from 6th to the Ferry Dock and from City Hall to Mill-
town. He said the Planning and Engineering Departments were looking into costs
for this, and they were hopeful.the council would approve when it is presented.
There was some further discussion, and a MOTION WAS THEN .MADE BY COUNCILWOMAN
SHIPPEN, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN GELLERT THAT THE CITY AMEND THE EXISTING UNDER -
GROUNDING FORMULA, FOR THE UTILITY COMPANIES AND THE CITY OF EDMONDS TO SHARE
50% - 50% UNDERGROUNDING COST WITHIN THE R/W IN THE.CW, BC,_BN ZONES, PLUS THE
ARTERIALS, CONTINGENT UPON THE UTILITIES' ACCEPTANCE OF THE FORMULA. Councilman
Nelson stated that he felt it was unfair to limit the zones and he could not
support this motion to establish a policy without an in-depth study. Ward Phillips
noted that with the'1/3, 1/4 1/34 formula, nothing has happened, and he said he
was against further study and wanted action. He added that the money was budgeted,
so now use it. Councilwoman Shippen replied that if Councilman Nelson was concerned
• with the other zones being omitted, he could amend the motion and include them.
Councilman Nelson declined to do this. Al Kincaid told council that if the
$90,000 was available now for undergrounding, let's use it on the project wanted
by the business community now. Mayor Harrison said that every property in Edmonds
is increased in value when you beautify your downtown area. Councilman Gellert
said that in the downtown area there is no -relief from the starkness of the utility
poles, and it is therefore more in need of undergrounding than residential areas
where trees tend to soften the unsightly poles. There was some further discussion,
and it was then MOVED BY COUNCILMAN ANDERSON, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN NORDQUIST TO
AMEND THE MOTION TO INCLUDE THE 50% - 50% FORMULA FOR THE ENTIRE CITY RATHER THAN
LIMITING THE ZONES ON A FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED BASIS. (THIS WOULD ELIMINATE ANY
REFERENCE TO ZONES.) COUNCILMAN NELSON THEN MOVED TO AMEND TO EXCLUDE ANY REFER-
ENCE TO ANY ZONING AND LEAVE IT ON THE ARTERIALS CITYWIDE. THIS DIED FOR LACK OF
A SECOND. Councilman Gellert stated that he was against Councilman Anderson's -
amendment, because he felt this should be attempted first on a 50-50 basis in the
original stated zones. ROLL CALL VOTE.ON COUNCILMAN ANDERSON'S AMENDMENT CARRIED,
WITH COUNCILMEMBERS NELSON, NORDQUIST, ANDERSON AND WINTERS -IN FAVOR: WELLING,
GELLERT, AND SHIPPEN AGAINST. COUNCILMAN GELLERT THEN MOVED TO AMEND TO STATE THAT
SAID POLICY BE APPLIED IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS SHALL
PETITION ON THE BASIS OF PAYMENT OF THE HOOKUP CHARGES. THIS MOTION DIED FOR LACK
OF A SECOND.
Dewey Leyda, in the audience, told council that no one had contacted him regarding
the undergrounding downtown.
Councilman Gellert.urged a vote for consideration of the original motion. He noted
that Councilwoman Shippen's motion was intended to be a vehicle wherein the council,
administration, and business community could approach the PUD, Telephone Co., etc.
to try to get them to accept the 50% - 50% formula. Following discussion, a ROLL
• CALL VOTE ON THE MOTION AS AMENDED SHOWED GELLERT, NELSON, SHIPPEN, NORDQUIST, AND
ANDERSON IN FAVOR: WELLING AND WINTERS AGAINST, AND THE MOTION AS AMENDED CARRIED.
PRELIMINARY PLAT - L.E. NESS ADDITION
City.Planner Joe Wallis presented the preliminary plat of L.E. Ness Addition, at
7700-206th S.W. Planner Wallis explained the six hearings pertaining to this plat,
and gave a rundown on the dates and circumstances. He projected slides showing
the comprehensive plan, zoning map,.and views of the area. There was discussion
on the intersection at 206th. Councilman Nordquist said he ways concerned about
the: -.driveways, and asked assurance from Reid, Middleton & Associates, Inc. that
this would take place as shown. It was noted that the plat met with all the re-
quirements of the city, and it was now up to the staff to see that these were
carried out.
City Planner Wallis stated that all lots either conform or have been granted a
variance. He recommended acceptance, subject to structures near the lot line on
both lots 6 and 7 being removed, and that dedications on 206th and 77th W. be made
within 90 days. Engineer Leif Larson also asked that council make this subject to
engineering requirements. A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMAN NORDQUIST, SECONDED BY
COUNCILMAN ANDERSON THAT THE PRELIMINARY PLAT OF L. E. NESS ADDITION BE ACCEPTED,
SUBJECT TO STRUCTURES NEAR THE LOT LINE ON BOTH LOTS 6 AND 7 BEING REMOVED, DEDICA-
TIONS ON 206TH AND 77TH W. BEING MADE WITHIN.90 DAYS, AND ALSO.SUBJECT TO ALL EN-

with the provision that
the City provide for design, plans, specifications, and
contract administration
including inspection. Also, to acquire R/W if necessary.
Preliminary evaluation and
design of the intersection of 88th indicates that the
present R/W is -adequate.

and it is estimated that
the City's participation would amount to 10 to 15% of the
construction cost. City
tention -'-.to proceed with
Engineer Larson recommended that the City confirm the in-
the project based on the estimate in order that a formal
agreement can be prepared
for review and execution by the City and the State.
Councilwoman Shippen asked for deferment until April for citizen participation at
the beginning. Engineer Larson stated that it was a question of timing regarding
available UAB funds for these purposes. Councilwoman Shippen said she would like
to have hearings held with information gathered prior to these hearings. She
stated that she would want the State Highway Dept. to supply traffic counts on -a
sectional basis, from 76th to 81st; 81st to 84th; 84th to 88th to Olympic
Avenue at the Gulch; Olympic Avenue to 9th; to Casper; and Casper to Main.
She would like to mail or send out notices to all interested parties; have Mr. Vic
Sood provide council with prospective bus routes along the area; and defer any
action until all this adequate information is received; then hold hearings in order
to involve the people. COUNCILWOMAN SHIPPEN THEREFORE MADE A MOTION, SECONDED BY
COUNCILMAN ANDERSON TO DEFER ACTION ON THE PROPOSED EXTENSION OF 196TH BETWEEN 81ST
AND 88TH UNTIL ADEQUATE INFORMATION IS RECEIVED AS STATED ABOVE, AND HEARINGS BE
SET FOR MARCH 26, AND APRIL 21 IF NECESSARY. Councilman Gellert said he was con-
cerned with the validity of traffic counts from now until April 2; that -they would
probably be abnormal due.to the energy crisis. Engineer Larson said he saw no •
reason why they could not proceed simultaneously and go ahead subject to the out-
come of the hearings and the information to be gathered. IT WAS MOVED BY COUNCIL-
WOMAN SHIPPEN, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN GELLERT THAT IT WAS THE CITY'S INTENTION TO
APPROVE THE AGREEMENT SUBJECT TO ACCUMULATING THE INFORMATION ASKED FOR BEFORE
