The public portion of the hearing was then closed. A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMAN CARNS, SECONDED BY MOTION: COUNCILMAN HERB, THAT THE COUNCIL OVERRIDE.P.C. RESOLUTION.;561, AND THAT THE CITY ATTORNEY BE INSTRUCTED TO DRAFT AN ORDhNANCE.'.REDUCING THE SUBJECT RIGHT-OF-WAY ON THE OFFICIAL.STREET MAP FROM 60' TO 50'. Councilman Gellert asked if there were a way to protect.the sequoias now,tha.t they would be in the PRD instead of the right-of-way. City Attorney John Wallace said there should be certain covenants on the .PRD to protect the trees. THE MOTION THEN CARRIED. HEARING ON P.C. RESOLUTION 558 - RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO OSM TO REDUCE RIGHT-OF- WAY FROM 60' TO 50' ON 84TH W. BETWEEN 200TH AND.202ND S.W. (FILE ST-647) (8:25 p.m.-) Community Development Director Joe Wallis said the reason for this action was that two houses presently were in the existing right-of-way.and by reducing it 10' they no longer would be in the right-of-way, although one house at the south end would touch the proposed reduced right-of-way. He said 84th W. serves primarily as an access to the houses on this street and to the Maplewood Hills Elementary School. The street alignment would not be changed.,by the proposal, the ciruculation pattern would not be affected, and there would be no adverse environmental impacts. The Planning Commission recommended approval., as did the Planning Staff. Public Works Director Leif Larson added that this situation had been revealed when a property owner had applied for a building permit to extend his garage..,The public portion of the MOTION: hearing was opened, no one wished to speak, and the public portion was closed. A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMAN CARNS, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN ANDERSON, TO ADOPT ORDINANCE 1931 PURSUANT TO P.C. RESOLUTION 558. MOTION CARRIED.

The August 2 agenda was already very full, so A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMAN GELLERT, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN GOULD, THAT THE DESIGN REVIEW OF "SEAVIEW PINES" BE PLACED • ON THE AUGUST 16 AGENDA. MOTION CARRIED. PROPOSED ORDINANCE PROHIBITING ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES IN PUBLIC PLACES (8:36 p.m.) City Attorney Wayne Tanaka said the old Criminal Code had a similar statute ;to this, but when the new one was adopted by the City it was inadvertently omitted, and most of the 'things it covered were already covered in the Code. He s.aid this ordinance would give the Police Department more flexibility in enforcement. The public portion.of the hearing was opened, no one wished to .speak, and the public por- tion was closed. There was a lengthy discussion revealing concerns that the ordinance might be used unequally and possibly unfairly at the discretion of the police; whether there was really a need for this ordinance; and whether it could be enforced. Mention was made of the Union Oil Beach where 'it appeared a lot of consumption of alcoholic beverages occurs. Captain Sherlund Smith, Acting Police .Chief, had advised Mayor Pro tem Nordquist that the Police Department had a real need for this ordinance, MOTION: but he was unable to be present at the meeting to discuss it. A MOTION WAS MADE BYCOUNCILMAN, CARNS,, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN GELLERT, THAT THIS DISCUSSION BE TABLED UNTIL AUGUST 16, AND THAT A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT BE PRESENT AT THAT MEETING TO PRESENT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT NEEDS IN.REGARD TO THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE. MOTION CARRIED, WITH COUNCILMEN GOULD AND ANDERSON VOTING NO. ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT OF PETITION, PASS RESOLUTION OF INTENTION, AND SET HEARING DATE FOR STREET IMPROVE- MENTS ON 218TH ST. S.W. EAST OF 76TH AVE. W. (8:45 p.m.) Public Works Director Leif Larson said there has been increased construction activity on 218th for a medical center, dental office., and apartment building. He said the utilities and street access presently .are well below City standards and the logical way to achieve the improvements would be by LID. Signed petitions.had been submitted from the medical center and -the dental clinic, but they were insufficient to initiate an LID. Mr. -Larson recommended that the LID commence by the resolution method. He said if the improvements were.not accomplished he questioned whether any further development should be allowed MOTION: to occur at.this location. A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMAN CARNS, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN GELLERT, THAT THE PETITIONS FOR STREET IMPROVEMENTS BE ACKNOWLEDGED AND THAT RESOLUTION OF INTENTION 249 BE PASSED • SETTING SEPTEMBER 20, 1977 AS THE HEARING DATE ON THIS MATTER.

COUNCIL (7:37 p.m.) Councilman Anderson said he had received calls regarding the conditon of the water in north Edmonds as a result of water main repair on 76th W. He asked what the policy is regarding flushing the lines after a repair is made. Public Works Director Leif Larson responded that the lines are flushed after repairs and purity tests are also taken. Councilman Anderson noted that this area is below the Cherry Hill area which is not 'sewer"ed so he was especially concerned. Councilman Gellert said he understood an environmental impact statement had been filed regarding the 201 Study relative to the Lynnwood treatment plant, and he asked if such -things as odor were taken MOTION: into consideration. Mr. Larson said he would review it and -make a report. COUNCILMAN GELLERT MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN CARNS, THAT THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR THE LYNNWOOD SEWAGE FACILITIES PLANT BE DISCUSSED ALONG WITH THE EDMONDS TREATMENT PLANT ON AUGUST 9. MOTION CARRIED. Councilman Carns asked if any action had been taken to:clean up the area of the recent waterfront fire. Community Development Director Joe Wallis responded that the Port had been notified that it should obtain a building permit for repair. Fire Chief Cooper added that he had spoken with one of the Port Commissioners and was told - that the insurance companies had released the site and that clean-up would proceed rapidly. Councilman Carns reported that he had attended a HUD Block Grant meeting last week and that all of the $200.,000 applied for. by Edmonds for the Senior Center had been approved. Councilman Gould reported that he had asked the Public Works Director this evening to look at the paving of 88th just north of 196th as there is a portion which is sinking very badly. Councilman Gould also called attention to an article in the August 1 Western Sun regarding problems the police ..officers are facing with alcoholic beverages at the beaches. He felt it pointed out a need for the ordinance which will be considered August 16. Councilman Carns added that he had discussed this at length with.Capt. Sherlund Smith of the Edmonds Police Department and he could now see the need for this ordinance. Councilman Clement asked what had been accomplished regarding the tree cutting on 7th and Elm. ..Mayor Harrison responded that he had a meeting scheduled the following day with the Public Works Director and the Buildings and Grounds Superintendent and they were going out to look at the situation. Mr. Larson added that he felt a tree -cutting plan would be necessary before any cutting is accomplished. MAYOR (8:45 p.m.) Mayor Harrison asked Councilman Carns if he would accept appointment to the Joint City/Senior Center Building Committee, which he did. Mayor Harrison reported he had called Bob Brown regarding the lease proposal on the athletic field and Bob Brown saw no major problems, but there will be a need for some minor changes because of the sale of the Junior High School. Mayor Harrison said Joe Wermus had been asked to chair the Task Force to study the. Elementary School and he assumed Mr. Wermus had accepted. Mayor Harrison said it had been discussed in Staff meetings that there is a need for some architectural design work on the Elementary. School for guidance as far as applying for grants.. He said that in coordination with the space needs study he would like to see the Council appropriate $10,000 from unanticipated revenues in this year's budget for that purpose and he would like that ..included in the August 9 budget adjustment discussion. HEARING ON P.C. RESOLUTION 562 - RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO SECTION 12.13.130 T:O.ELIMINATE THE BONUS DENSITY ALLOWANCE IN RML AND RMH ZONES (FILE ZO-1-77) Community Development Director Joe Wallis reviewed the background of this proposal. The City Council had asked the Planning Commission to study an amendment to the Zoning Code that would eliminate the bonus density instituted in 1970 to encourage innovation and quality design. When the Amenities Design Board started hearings in 1974 and reviewed RM site designs and buildings, the bonus density allowance became outdated as its original purpose was being accomplished by Amenities Design Board review. The proposal to eliminate the bonus density would reduce allowable units by about 13% in RML zones and 20% in RMH zones. Mr. Wallis reviewed the strengths and weaknesses of .the proposal,:noting that it would decrease density, parking spaces, and traffic, and it possibly would increase open space. He noted also that, larger apartment developments would.be more.impacted than smaller ones. and that costs of units may be.increased by the proposal.. He added that. it may or may not result in. better design. His office found that it would not have a significant environmental impact. He reviewed statistics relative to expected effects of the proposal and reflecting past construction results. He showed slides of typical apartment projects, and he recommended approval of the proposal. The public portion of the hearing was then opened. Several builder/developers spoke'in opposition to the proposal, saying it would not decrease density by an appreciable amount, it would increase the costs of units, and it would cause a loss of value to people who.had held RM property for development at a future date. Builders speaking in opposition 1 1 1 • were Elmer Harris, Walter Payne, Ed Morris, Bjorn Thuesen, Frank Taylor, Bert.Stole, and C. A. McConnachie. Donna -Drummer of 7820 189th, Lynnwood; said consideration should be given to -people who have RM.property to develop and she outlined her own case. John Sanford suggested that if the proposal were adopted that consideration be given to delaying adoption for one.year for the benefit of those who are already working on a development. John McGibbon, a member.of the Planning Commission, discussed the Planning Commission's action on this, noting that they could not see what the City was getting for granting a bonus and that the bonus had actually become a standard. Earlier Elmer Harris had stated that when the bonus density went into effect it really had not given the developer anymore than.he-already had, it only increased the off-street parking requirement and gave the Planning Department an opportunity to review the plans. Mr. McGibbon said this argument had not been introduced previously and they had taken the current ordinance at face value. However, he said he had not heard anything during this evening's hearing that would change his mind regarding the bonus density. Councilman Carns then com- mented that there was a large number of builders present this evening but they had not attended the Planning Commission meeting. He said that, once again,- they had shown up in mass to influence the Council when they had bypassed the Planning Commission hearing. Bob Pantley said he and Frank Taylor had been present.at the Planning Commission hearing and that they felt.they could speak for all the builders. Mr. Pantley felt the bonus density program should exist but that it should be given for such things as good design and better landscaping. He suggested the Council study what other municipalities have done along these lines. The public hearing was then closed. MOTION: A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMAN CLEMENT, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN HERB, TO REJECT P.C. (Failed) RESOLUTION 562. Councilman. Gellert commented on the statement that the Amenities Design Board reviews all apartments, say.ing.he'did not think that Board felt it'should.comment on the quality.of design, that it only determined whether the proposal was acceptable'or.not.acceptable. He felt if. the Board were required to state that a proposal was average, good, or outstanding in design, and thereby grant the bonus or part of it accordingly, then the bonus allowance may work. Community Development .Director Joe Wallis.agreed that the Board reviews predominantly for minimal requirements. He said the Board would like to feel it had the authority ,to review in a much more critical.manner. Planning Technician Mary Lou Block added that sometimes when a proposal comes in•for a preliminary review the • Board will make suggestions regarding design or enhancing the project. ,Councilman Gellert went on to say that, in relating this whole issue to the Comprehensive Policy Plan, the citizens had indicated they wanted this City to be of as low density as reasonably practical. He said he felt at this evening's hearing only the people who want to Bevelop,the'land were heard, and not those who have expressed them- selves toward lower density. Councilman Herb responded that the character of the community cannot be .kept frozen, that it will change as,long.as people are living here. He felt the need was for modest control and modest guidelines. Councilman Anderson, Gould, and Carns commented that they are under constant pressure from citizens.for lower density, and that they receive more comments from citizens regarding density than any other topic. Councilman Clement said the reason he made the motion was that he did not think the numbers indicated would create any major changes, and he felt those people who had invested in property under the rules that existed for a long period would be hurt more than the general public would benefit if this proposed change were made. He felt the distribution of RMH and RML property in the City should be examined and reduced in a comprehensive manner. A ROLL CALL VOTE ON THE MOTION WAS THEN TAKEN, WITH COUNCILMEN CLEMENT AND HERB VOTING YES, AND COUNCILMEN GOULD, MOTION: GELLERT, NORDQUIST, ANDERSON, AND CARNS VOTING NO. MOTION FAILED. A MOTION WAS THEN MADE BY COUNCILMAN ANDERSON, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN GELLERT, TO APPROVE P.C. RESOLUTION 562. A ROLL CALL VOTE WAS TAKEN, WITH COUNCILMAN GOULD,.GELLERT, NORDQUIST, ANDERSON, AND CARNS VOTING YES, AND COUNCILMEN CLEMENT AND HERB VOTING NO. MOTION CARRIED. Proposed Ordinance 1933, pursuant to P.C. Resolution 562, will be placed on the August 16 Consent Agenda, as the proposed ordinance presented this.evening did not MOTION: contain all sections in the Code which will be amended by this change. A MOTION WAS THEN MADE BY COUNCILMAN CARNS, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN CLEMENT, THAT''THE PLANNING COMMISSION BE REQUESTED TO REVIEW THE SUBJECT OF BONUS DENSITY AND SUBMIT A BONUS DENSITY PROPOSAL BASED ON DESIGN. Laura Hall.; a member of the Planning Commission,.asked that this item be publicized well, so that the Planning Commission will get substantial citizen input. THE MOTION THEN CARRIED, WITH COUNCILMAN HERB -VOTING NO. HEARING ON APPEAL FROM P.C. RESOLUTION 560 - RECOMMENDING DENIAL OF PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO OFFICIAL ZONING MAP TO REZONE FROM RS-20 TO RS-12 LOTS 43-50, TALBOT PARK PLAT (R-4-77) (APPEAL FROM PATRICK HAGEN) 9:10 p.m. • Community Development Director. Joe Wallis advised that the appellant did not understand this item was on this evening's agenda. Mr. Wallis said he, -.had seen Mr. Hagen this evening prior to the meeting and had commented to him that the item was on this evening's agenda, but it appeared Mr. Hagen was unable to attend inasmuch as he was not present. City Attorney John'Wallace advised that the hearing could be held but the action continued to another time. There were a number of people in the audience for MOTION: this hearing. A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMAN HERB TO CONTINUE THE HEARING TO AUGUST 23. MOTION DIED FOR LACK OF A SECOND. Mr. Wallis said this.application for rezone was to enable the applicant to subdivide his property.. The topography is generally hilly and vegetation is substantial where the houses do,not exist. There is mostly RS-20 zoning to the north a,nd RS-.12 to;the south. To the east it is RS-.zoned but :there is a 120 acre.park., and the zoning'to the west--i-s RS-20.. In 1967 this area was rezoned from RS-12 to RS-20, and Mr. Wallis read a letter from the Talbot Park Community Club favoring that rezone at that time. He showed the site on a vicinity sketch. John Weyerhaeuser of 17707 Talbot Road explained the configuration of the lots in the area, including sizes. Mr. Wallis stated the Planning Commission had recommended denying the rezone, and the Planning Department felt this recommendation should be upheld. The public portion of the hearing was then opened. ..Tom Niven of 17928 Talbot Road explained that the area just south of the area under consideration which had been rezoned to RS-12 (Mount Baker/Seaview Estates) had been rezoned with the opposition of the Talbot Park Community after several hearings. Bill Harrell of 8311 Frederick Place reviewed the previous actions which led to the neighbors, in 1967, petitioning to rezone to RS-20 from RS-12. He displayed a map of the area reflecting the owners who had been in favor of the rezone to RS-20. He felt Mr: Hagen's problem was an individual one and he said the neighbors were not against his putting asecond house on his lot, but they were against the overall rezone. He asked that the petition be MOTION: denied. The public portion of the hearing was then closed. A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMAN CARNS, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN CLEMENT TO UPHOLD P.C. RESOLUTION 560, DENYING THE PROPOSED REZONE. Councilman Carns said he felt the people in this area had been consistent in their desires for the neighborhood. for at least ten years. In answer to questions, City Attorney John Wallace advised that Mr. Hagen's recourse would be to Superior Court. He said that before acting on the motion it should be asked if anyone present was in favor of the rezone as only those against it had been heard. He said Mr. Hagen had a certain duty to follow his appeal, and that he had been notified twice this evening that it was l ~ 08 August 2, 1977 (Cont.) being heard tonight, and if he had requesteda continuance, there -would have been no reason not to continue but he did not make such a request. The public portion of the hearing was then reopened, no one wished to speak in favor of the rezone, and the public hearing again was closed. THE MOTION CARRIED. APPROVAL PRELIMINARY.PLAT - "CASSELL ADDITION" (P-3-77) (9:40 p.m.) Councilman Herb asked to be excused from this item as he has a business relationship with the applicant. He left the Council Chambers. Mr. Wallis said this was an application by Virgil Graese for a five - lot subdivision north of 196th and west of 194th Street which terminates at the site. He showed the location on a vicinity sketch. The entire site is zoned partly RS-8 and RML, but only the RS-8 was proposed to be subdivided and developed at this time. Zoning to the north is RS-8, to the east and west it is RML and RS-8, and to the south it is RML on 196th St. The site slopes to the north and to the west. Mr. Wallis said this proposal would preserve mature trees and provide unified development. He noted that an alternative development could be a PRD. He said the proposal would not cause a significant environmental impact and it meets the subdivision requirements. He recommended approval. The discussion was opened to the public. Jerry Lovell of Lovell & Sauerland said his firm prepared the plat for the owner, with the idea of creating four RS lots and leaving the balance -for development at a future date, probably for apartment dwellings. He said the lots proposed for development are at the end of a cul-de-sac road and can easily be developed into RS.homes, and he asked for approval as submitted. Robert-Midkaff of Union Heating.Company said they had purchased.the adjoining Collier property in January and that it could be developed into eight to nine homes but this proposed.development will landlock it. He.said . it had been suggested that he provide access to the north part of his property from 196th but he felt it was unfair to expect him to -use valuable-RML property for access. He read a letter from his attorney, Charles W. Shepherd, urging denial of the application. Mr. Midkaff said the notice of the Planning Commission hearing on this had gone to the previous owners so he had not known until just prior to the hearing that it was taking place. Dr. Everett Cassell, the owner, said the RS portion of the site had already been sold to Virgil Graese and that Mr. Graese had an option to purchase the remaining • property. He said he had owned the property.for ten years and had paid taxes on it. He said he had proposed at one time to have the entire property zoned RM but it was denied. He said there is a definite drop of at least ten feet between his property and Mr. Midkaff's property and it would-be expensive and difficult to put a street there to provide access to the Midkaff property. He said there had never been any discussion of a street going through there while he owned the property. The public portion of the hearing was then closed. City Attorney John Wallace advised that the review of whether there are adequate streets should take in adjacent properties, but that is also the function of the Official Street Map.. He said that, to a degree, where the streets should go had already been reviewed, but that was not the last word. MOTION: A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMAN CARNS, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN CLEMENT; TO GIVE PRELIMINARY APPROVAL TO THE "CASSELL ADDITION", P-3-77. Councilman.Gellert and Gould were concerned that this may not be in the best interests of the City in the overview, although they did not object to the plat. Councilman Carns, however, felt that Mr. Midkaff had ample time to discuss this with Dr. Cassell, and he could MOTION: see no reason to delay the plat. A ROLL CALL VOTE WAS TAKEN, WITH COUNCILMEN CARNS, CLEMENT, GOULD, AND NORDQUIST VOTING YES, AND COUNCILMEN GELLERT AND ANDERSON VOTING NO. MOTION CARRIED. SENIOR CENTER IMPROVEMENTS TO BE FUNDED BY 1977 BLOCK GRANT FUNDS (10:12 p.m.) Community Development Director Joe Wallis had indicated by memorandum that the expenditure statement submitted for the 1977 Block Grant Senior Center Improvements needed to be revised to provide for substitution of kitchen equipment in Item 7 instead of a concession stand. The Senior Center Board of Directors had decided to give completion of the kitchen higher priority than the concession stand. The 1976 block grant did not fund all of the necessary equipment for the kitchen, and the present request would provide $16,000 to fund the remaining kitchen equipment.. A MOTION WAS MADE.BY COUNCILMAN CARNS, TO AUTHORIZE THE EXPENDITURE OF $16,000, AS RECOMMENDED BY THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT, TO BE FUNDED BY 1977 BLOCK GRANT FUNDS. MOTION CARRIED. PROPOSED ORDINANCE LIMITING PARKING TIME ON SUNSET AVENUE (10:16 p.m.) • Notices had been distributed to all residents on Sunset Avenue between Main Street and Edmonds Street, regarding this hearing. The parking problem had stemmed from Trident workers parking on Sunset all day, preventing visitors from using the street to park and preventing the street from being swept. The hearing was opened to the public. George Kanin, the owner of the four-plex which had no off-street parking, said a burden would be placed on his tenants if the parking were restricted to four hours. Larry Naughten of 729 Laurel asked if it had been considered to limit the parking north of Bell Street and leaving the parking unrestricted south of Bell Street, either on one side only or on both sides. Mayor Harrison read a letter from Roberta Peterson suggesting that Second Street and James Street be used for parking and that Sunset be restricted from all -day parking. Elsie Schultz of 204 Sunset commented that when barricades are put up so the street can be swept all those cars must go somewhere to park, and she asked where. they went. She suggested that barricades be put up twice a week during the summer as a training tool and that eventually the Trident workers would park somewhere else. Ruth Westerhuis of 228 Sunset said she had lived there 22 years. She said many of the older people who would come down to look at the , Sound cannot do that anymore because of the cars.parked there all day. She felt it was owed to the citizens in the community to give them the privilege of enjoying the Sound. Public Works Director Leif Larson stated that the parking lot for the ferry had not helped this situation at all. Mayor Harrison noted that there is no carpooling amongst the Trident workers who park on Sunset. He said they park there because that is the easiest for them. Thepublic portion of the hearing was MOTION: then closed. A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMAN GELLERT, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN ANDERSON, TO AMEND THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE LIMITING PARKING TIME ON SUNSET AVENUE TO INSERT ADDITIONAL WORDING IN IT TWO OF "NAME OF STREET OR ROAD" SO THAT ITEM WILL READ: "BOTH SIDES OF SUNSET AVENUE FROM MAIN STREET TO EDMONDS STREET, EXCEPT THAT FULL-TIME, UNLIMITED PARKING WILL BE ALLOWED ON THE WEST SIDE OF SUNSET AVENUE BETWEEN MAIN STREET AND BELL STREET." MOTION CARRIED, WITH COUNCILMAN HERB ABSTAINING BECAUSE HE WAS NOT PRESENT DURING THE DISCUSSION. The revised proposed ordinance will appear on the August 16 Consent Agenda as Proposed Ordinance 1934. • August 2, 1977 (Cont.)

Allen DeSteiguer distributed a report regarding the 201 Study and gave an.in- depth review of the whole process. A number of alternatives were offered, together with cost ranges. It was suggested that before this presentation is made to the public that the unfeasible alternatives be eliminated and that accurate cost ranges be prepared.
