19831101 City Council Minutes256
October 25, 1983 - continued •
Councilmember Gould reported that the United Way reached 21.7% of its quota last week, and of all
the success stories told, the man on top was Pat LeMay who has 153.7% of.his quota already.
Councilmember Gould had a request from a citizen regarding speeding on Edmonds Way between Highway
99 and Westgate. Police Chief Marlo Foster said Edmonds does not have jurisdiction there and it is
recognized that itis a problem. Edmonds police do work the part of that arterial that is within
Edmonds.
Councilmember Allen noted that the barn on 5th Ave. has a whole string of one person's campaign
signs which, in effect, creates a sign .larger than allowed. She asked.that it be checked.
Councilmember Allen had a call from someone in Meadowdale who heard that there is still arsenic in
the outfall from the treatment plant there and that the source appears to be a plant in Lynnwood.
She asked if Edmonds could work with -Lynnwood to investigate this. City Engineer Jim Adams said
when they were doing the Meadowdale study they took samples of the clams and other things and found
heavy metals and arsenic was one of them. They had notified Lynnwood, and Lynnwood took samples and
could find nothing in their effluent. He said they.know there is some source and Lynnwood is very
interested in doing something about it, but it has to be detected the day it is dumped or it dis-
appears.
Councilmember Kasper asked when the trust will take over the cemetery, but that was unknown at this
time.
There was no further business to come before the Council, and the meeting adjourned to Executive
Session at 11:10 p.m.

AUDIENCE
•
Pat Nuxoll, representing McDonald's•restaurant on Edmonds Way, asked if the Council had made any
decision on the Sign Code as it relates to recently annexed businesses. Asst. City Planner Duane
Bowman responded that the Planning Board will be considering the possibility of exceptions on
November 9, 1983. Ms. Nuxoll said she would like the -views of her business aired before the Council.
She said her business does not feel writing off a sign for tax purposes is adequate to compensate
for a new sign less than five years old, and it will cost them $50,000 to take down the logo and put
up a new.sign. They do not see why they should take it down right after coming into the City since
they were not told it would have to come down. She was advised that one of the issues that will be
discussed is that of an amortization period, but she said McDonald's does not feel five years'
amortization is adequate and they could not make it up in that amortization period. She said they
did ask before annexing if there was any reason their building would not meet specifications and
they were told everything was all right, and then after they worked very hard to be annexed they
found out about the sign. She asked that the City Council treat them similarly to what is being
discussed for annexed businesses on Highway 99, and she said they would not have come into the City
had they known it would cost this kind of money. Councilmember Hall advised her that she had
proposed that a committee study this matter, and that the committee include business people such as
Ms. Nuxoll. Ms. Nuxoll was encouraged to attend the November 9 Planning Board meeting.
William Beresford, representing the Youth Club of Edmonds -Lynnwood, asked for reconsideration of a
previous decision regarding allowing the Youth Club the they for
a credit on rent pay a room at the
Anderson Center. He said they had changed their approach this year, hopefully to make it more
palatable to the Council. He said they provide a valuable service to .the City and they now provide
additional services in the way of keeping the ballfields.in shape and safe for the children using
them. He wasrequesting a reduced rate for the Youth Club. COUNCILMEMBER NAUGHTEN MOVED, SECONDED
BY COUNCILMEMBER GOULD, TO PLACE THIS REQUEST ON THE NOVEMBER 15;1983 AGENDA. Councilmember Gould
asked Mr. Beresford four questions: (1) Is the Youth Club a.nonprofit organization? Answer: Yes.
(2) Does it have a volunteer board of directors? Answer: Yes. (3) Does it have an an annual
audit? Answer: Their books are kept by a CPA but are not audited. (4) Has the club been in
existence more than two years? Answer: Yes. Councilmember Gould explained that these questions •
257
• November 1, 1983 - continued
have to be asked when an application is made to the United Way, and if the answer is yes to all of
them the club can qualify. He suggested that Mr. Beresford seek help there as another alternative.
Mr. P,eresford replied that he understood that the` sited Way was not responsive to purely at-lilet.ic
organizations, but Councilmember Gould thought he should pursue it. THE MOTIOid THEN CARRIED.
Counc-il,mernber. Kaspe^ requested a report from the staff on their thought's about what was requested in
Mr. Beresf"ord's iet-ter.
Gordon Rosier said ,he was pieased.to see Item (C) on -the Consent Agenda (report on bids fear i9eadowdale
sewer project) as he had waited many years for this. He said this had been requested 4 1/2 years
ago, and he complimented the Mayor and the Counci on this accomplishr:rent. He noted that tiro Council
some time previously had said trey would :never downzone the area in Meadowdale designated as 20,000
sq. ft. zoning, and 'rre said the same individuals rasponsibie for the elimination of the PRD near the
community club are active in a new project to create 12,000 sq-. ft. lots. He Hoped the Counccil
would watch tha.- property closely as it is the last frontier of Edmunds, and he asked brat when
development does cone the area not be allowed -to be ripped apart. On another subject, he has con-
tinued to monitor Elie utility tax and he noted that electric races have just been raised again so
the City will receive approximately $700,000 next year fro:r the utility tax. He•considers this a
"ratepayer ripoff," and lie said he knows of 'no other tax in this City which has increased in direct
proportion -to the cost of the commodity. He encouraged reduction of the utility tax.

Item C:'-on Consent Agenda
Counc-ilmerrrber Gould said he was pleased with the bids inasmuch as the iov bid was belovr the Engineer's
estimate. He t-houg;•rt the portion which is subject to i% for public art should be clarified. City
Attorney 'lark, Eames stated that the section of the Code making that; provision does not: apply to LID
money and that portion of the project funded by DOE, so only the viaiter/sewer portion of the project
will be subject to the public art provision and that will be approximately $500,+000, resulting in
approximately $ ,000 designated for public aria. Also, those monies are subjec" to that provision,

This item was continued to November 15, 1983, in accordance with City Council action taken on
October 25, 1983.
DISCUSSION REGARDING LOG CABIN
Parks and Recreation Director Steve Simpson noted that his department has considered for several
years the possibility of putting a caretaker's cabin in Yost Park. With this in mind, costs of
moving the Susan Hall log cabin to Yost park were estimated and a breakdown was provided to the
Council. The cost of moving it and making it suitable for a.caretaker's residence was estimated at
$20,OR0: "r. S rrnson did not believe the rock chimney could.be moved but would have to be restored.
He said not everything would be moved, and they have.not done an.in-depth study of it. He said it
• will require a considerable amount of renovation and maintenance and the Public Works Department is

r:
not in favor of acquiring the cabin as it will be costly for a limited use. Further, i.f the pool
should be covered there will no longer be a need for a caretaker.in the park as it will be utilized
all the time. He thought it was difficult to justify a caretaker from a cost standpoint because the
dollar amount of vandalism in Yost. Park is small. Councilmember Gould thought it was too early to
decide on this because they first have to decide what will be done with Yost Pool. Mr. Simpson
asked if it could be justified from a historical point of view. He thought if it was historically
significant the Council may justify keeping the structure. Councilmember Gould said he would have
to say no if he had to decide this evening as it is not timely for the City at this time.
The owner of the structure, Susan Hall, said she would like to see the house saved as it has become
a landmark in Edmonds and has historical value and aesthetic value, and she has a great sentimental
attachment to it. She did not have to have a definite answer this evening.but said she would like
to know in a matter of months. It was asked if there was some other place the cabin could be placed
if it has historic value and if it could be moved at less cost such as with volunteer help. Mr.
Simpson said Pine Ridge Park had been considered but it does not yet have a master plan so it might
be premature to place it there and.the cabin may not be as secure there. City Park would give it
the most visibility. It was suggested that the cemetery may be a good place for it. It was then
suggested that some of the service organizations be contacted to see if they would take.on the
project of moving it. COUNCILMEMBER GOULD MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, TO REVIEW THIS ON
DECEMBER 13, 1983 AND TO ASK THE STAFF TO TRY TO FIND A SERVICE ORGANIZATION TO MOVE THE CABIN, WITH
POSSIBLY THE CITY HELPING WITH SOME FUNDS. MOTION CARRIED.
REVIEW OF NO.PARKING ZONE AT 1050 5TH AVE. S.
This no parking zone was imposed to restrict construction workers from parking their vehicles near
the access to the Norge Apartments. These construction workers from the adjacent property had been
parking their vehicles near the access to the Norge Apartments, impairing the sight distance of
drivers trying to get out to 5th Ave. from those apartments. City Engineer Jim Adams said the
parking restrictions had not caused any problems as to availabi.lity'of parking in that area and it
was his intent to continue the restriction until the construction is completed, at which time he
will again review it. He anticipated that to be in 6-12 months. COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED,
SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO ACCEPT THE REPORT. MOTION CARRIED.
.1EPORT FROM PLANNING BOARD ON HIGHWAY 99 STUDY
Planning Board Chairman Ken Mattson stated that the Planning Board had unanimously agreed that in
regard to Highway 99 they are not satisfied with the present Community Development Code as modified
by the.LaTourelle report and the Reid -Middleton study (regarding zoning, density, height, traffic,
signs,,. etc.). He said they would like to have from the City Council a definitive policy statement
regarding the Highway 99 CG zone, and if they can get that from the Council the rest will be easy.
He noted.that approximately 94 acres of undeveloped property is involved, and it could result in
multi -family development. He asked if this area would not best be considered for business and
employment for the City, and he said the LaTourelle study does not address that.
Dave Larson, another member of the Planning Board, discussed the need for policies in Edmonds. He
said for planning purposes this City desperately needs clearly stated, officially adopted policies
to be applied in making decisions, and without such policies the City Council makes decisions under
a "brush -fire -of -the -week" process, wherein whoever brings enough political pressure gets another
round of public hearings. He noted that in recent years the City Council has wasted an inordinate
amount of time and spent a great.deal of money on consultants' studies for Highway 99, and he
stated strongly that the Planning Board is unwilling at this time to proceed with further Highway 99
studies until the City Council adopts a policy framework within which proposals can be evaluated and
decisions made. He asked that they.consider what Edmonds is --and it is not a "small town," but
rather, it is primarily a single-family, bedroom community.and as such it can continue to exist
without a viable business community because its people can shop at Aurora Village and Alderwood Mall
and can work in Seattle or at Paine Field. So the fact of being a bedroom community is reflected in
the planning decisions of the City Council. He said a de facto policy has emerged over the last
several.years which is "whenever there is a conflict between the business community and the residential
community, the residential interests prevail before the City Council." And, he said there is nothing
wrong with this policy, but in the interest of fairness as well as efficient use of City time and
money, the policy should be officially adopted into the Community Development Code so all interests
can know where they stand. As an alternative to the present de facto policy he asked what if
Edmonds really were a "small town," and he said in such a situation the business community and the
residential community would recognize that they need each other. The business community would be
needed for goods, services and jobs, and the residential community would be needed for customers and
employees --and coexistence would be the name of the game. Applying this to Highway 99 in Edmonds,
he noted that at the present time the Edmonds City Council has badly spooked the business community
along Highway 99, primarily as the result of the Council's handling of the Doce's contract rezone
and by recent Sign Code decisions. He added that from time to time the City Council has "paid lip
service" to increasing City revenues from Highway 99 businesses by attracting new business invest-
ment and annexing unincorporated business areas, but if the Council seriously wants this to happen
it will have to adopt a policy that the business community perceives as a welcome sign. Such a
policy would have to encompass a specified area, perhaps the CG zone, wherein the needs of the
business community would be given more weight than the aesthetic desires of the residential com-
munity. In the absence of such a policy he said a business interested in that area will simply
locate across the street in what is perceived to be a less restrictive jurisdiction, and what will
happen to the underdeveloped CG.zoned land in Edmonds probably will be low-cost rental housing,
which is already happening there. He said there is nothing wrong with such development but it will
mean that there will never be a cohesive business community along Highway 99. He concluded that
regardless of what kind of development takes place on Highway 99., he hoped it would be as the result
of a well considered policy adopted by the City Council, and not by default because a developer.
perceives it to -be the quickest way for him to get a building permit in.Edmonds.

Sharry Claussen, another Planning Board member,
trsnds are for decentralization of business, and
allowed along Highway 99 as the business zone is
then discussed zoning. She noted that current
she questioned whether residential should even be
limited ;.nd.is not being replaced anywhere else.

• November 1, 1983 - continued
She noted that the LaTourelle study had suggested that development might be served by uniform
density along Highway 99, but she suggested that there.be variety, with higher density allowed at
certain points such as ?201th which will have two freeway ramps and major industrial development in
the area, so g►^eater density would be allowed where it would least impact the surrounding .areas.
She said distances to some of the other zones could be considered, as well as uses, topography, the
ability to screen the areas, and transportation. Richard Kirschner developed her thoughts with some
visual aids to demonstrate the kind of development this could lead to, and noting that the Board is
not comfortable with a uniform building height which could lead to a canyon effect of high buildings
along Highway 99. He suggested that maximum height restrictions be in direct proportion to the
width of the CG zone at that location, -and he displayed dravings reflecting that result, using the
configuration of the CG zone as it now is along Highway 99. This would create a variety of building
heights, with no solid wall of buildings. Mr. Mattson referred to the Reid -Middleton study which
indicated that traffic on Highway 99 will increase by 200% by 2002 and that increase will be 'oeyond
the control of the City. He said one Planning Board suggested option was that Highway 99 generated
traffic be segregated from the residential areas by making cross streets deadend 'in tl;e CG areas,
and he illustrated that idea on a drawing of the area. He summed up their presenta-ion and asked
that the Council either affirm the present policy for Highway 99 or form a new policy.
Councilmember Gould responded that he thought the Council was looking to the Planning Board to use
their expertise to help the City make the policy,' and -that it is an opportunity fcr citizens of the
community to formulate the policy. He did not think the City Council should makr. tl?at policy, and
he said he wanted it to come from the Planning Board. He thought the Planning Board had done some
great things -in this presentation and that they had a feeling on the height, density, and traffic,
all of which should be I.-ranslated into policy. lie said they should tell the Council what the policy
should be, but Mr. Larson said the Planning Board does not think tl;at is their job, but rather that
policy has to do with the Council's attitudes toward business. lie said the l_aTourelle study was
conceived in an ivory tower and was not done in consultation with the business community, but the
• Council now has the attention.of the Highway 99 people. lie strongly urged that as the Sinn Code is
reviewed that it not become another ivory tower study, and he said the business community will let
the Council know what they need and they should be made to defend what they propose. Councilmember
Allen asked if they wanted a statement of generalized direction that the City of Edmonds recognizes
the need for tasteful commercial development on Highway 99 and proposes to adopt. regulations to
enhance that development, and Mr. Mattson said yes. Mayor Harrison had several suggestion: (1) To
make it exclusively commercial, including industrial parks; (2) To vary the side setbacks with the
heights; (3) Find the center of the CG zone district and vary the heights from that center; and (4)
Liberalize the sign.regulations. Councilmember Gould did not think they should make a statement
that speaks to the business community as they have to speak to the entire of Edmonds which includes
the business community, and he still thought the Planning Board should tell the Council what the
policy should be. Mr. Larson argued that that is a political decision and the residential interest
will always prevail. He said there are certain areas where the City should re-examine this de facto
policy and ask if in this particular zone heavier weight should be given to the business interests.
Councilmember Gould responded that the Code says the Planning Board is to periodically review the
Community Development Code and make recommendations to the Council. Mr. Mattson then said if the
Council tells them it wants to encourage a nice business growth there without impacting the resi-
dential areas, then they can hold public hearings based on this policy, to determine how high the
buildings should be, etc. Councilmember Allen observed from what she had heard this evening that
the Board already was saying to the Council "Your policy fails on Highway 99." Mayor Harrison
commented 'that large apartment complexes yield large numbers of children and Highway 99 is not
suitable for that, and that was why he recommended it be only for business.
City Attorney Mark Eames stated that the area of planning and zoning is governed by the RCW which
calls for a comprehensive plan and there is a comprehensive plan in place now for the area being
discussed, as well as zoning regulations to implement that comprehensive plan. The original creation
of the plan starts with the Council directing the Planning Board to prepare a comprehensive plan in
one unit or in successive parts and after the plan is in place the Planning Board can make recommenda-
tions after holding a hearing as to an amendment to the comprehensive plan, and the procedure is
• that the Planning Board makes recommendations to the Council on any changes to the comprehensive
plan, and if there are no changes to be made then it is .just a question of zoning regulations which
implement the plan in place. Mayor Harrison then said he assumes the comprehensive plan 'is all
right until there are some pressures to change it, to which Councilmember Allen said there are some
pressures to change it now. Mr. Mattson again said he was looking for what is the policy now, and
that the Board can recommend several policies but it is up to the Council to say this is the policy.
Assistant City Planner Duane Bowman said the problem with changing the zoning regulations is that
you must.make your comprehensive plan in concert with those. He thought the best thing to do now
was to go to the Planninq Board and have them draft Dolicy statements they feel are appropriate on
Highway 99 and bring them back to the Council in the hearing process, as the text of the Code says
the Board will recommend and the Council will act on their recommendation. Councilmember Gould
visualized an addendum to the Comprehensive Plan to cover Highway 99 to make the Planning Board's
visions come true as well as those of the people they had talked to there. Mr. Larson said it would
be helpful to know if the City is noing to encourage annexation of unincorporated areas, as well as
a statement of objectives with respect to tax revenues --what type of revenues are !going to be
encouraged, e.g., retail sales tax versus office building complexes with little in the way of retail
sales tax. Councilmember Hall felt the Council should have a "brainstorming" session with the
Planning Board to help develop a policy. COUNCILMEMBER HALL THEREFORE MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL -
MEMBER ALLEN, TO MEET IN A ONE -HOUR SESSION WITH THE PLANNING BOARD ON JANUARY 24, 1984 TO WORK ON
CREATING A POLICY FOR HIGHWAY 99. MOTION CARRIED, WITH COUNCILMEMBERS GnULD AND JAECH VOTING NO.
Councilmember Gould said there is no reason why the Planning Board cannot go forward from where they
are and develop the policies'as they are supposed to operate. Councilmember Jaech also felt that
the Planning Board could do that and she did not think the Council should sit down with them to
create policy, but rather it should be done by public input._ Councilmember Kasper said what was
lacking -was the weight of the staff in corning forth wi th.: i deas . He thought their input to be
valuable and that it should .be brought out, as professional planning is necessary, al.though citizen
* input is valuable also.
MAYOR
• Mayor Harrison attempted to read something from Councilmember Naughten's campaign literature to
which he took exception, but Council President Jaech called a point of order, and when Mayor Harrison

ruled against it she appealed to. -the body of the Council with a MOTION THAT THE MAYOR NOT BE ALLOWED
TO BE HEARD BECAUSE THIS WAS A POLITICAL MATTER AND DID NOT BELONG IN A COUNCIL MEETING. THE MOTION
WAS SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NAUGHTEN, AND THE MOTION CARRIED. Mayor Harrison then said he would
give his statement directly to the press and would have a press conference immediately following the
meeting to which everyone was invited to attend..
COUNCIL
Councilmember Hall noted that the United Way breakfast had been well attended. She also reported
that the Performing Arts group had a press conference last week, seeking support in the upcoming
election.
Councilmemb'er Gould noted that there had been a memo in the packets from Jim Jessel about a tour
Hartford Insurance had taken of the.City's facilities to evaluate the risk exposure. He had reported
that all previously suggested improvements had been made and no new suggestions were made. However,
Councilmember Gould said that in spite of the facilities being safe the OSHA incidents report
indicates the City's employees.are not acting safely as it is three times higher than industry in
the area, and something must be done about that.
Council President Jaech noted that several Councilmembers and the Mayor will be attending the
National League of Cities convention at the end of this month so.it appears there may not be a
quorum for the November 29 meeting. THEREFORE, COUNCIL PRESIDENT JAECH MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL -
MEMBER HALL, TO CANCEL THE MEETING OF NOVEMBER 29, 1983. MOTION CARRIED. COUNCIL PRESIDENT JAECH
THEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO RESCHEDULE THE BUDGET HEARING TO NOVEMBER 22, 1983.
MOTION CARRIED. COUNCIL PRESIDENT JAECH FURTHER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, THAT
COUNCILMEMBER GOULD SERVE AS COUNCIL PRESIDENT DURING HER ABSENCE. MOTION CARRIED.
City Attorney Mark Eames advised the Council that there is an interlocal agreement with Snohomish
County for district court filing fees which is due to terminate at the end of this year, and County
Executive Willis Tucker had asked for a response to his letter on that subject by November 4. Mr.
Eames suggested that the City Attorney's Office respond that they are taking it under advisement.
That was satisfactory to the Council.
There was no further business to come before the Council, and the meeting adjourned at 10:00 p.m.
