Re: Legal framework of follow-on HUP
As I listened to the thoughtful discussion at the Planning Commission meeting the other
evening it occurred to me that certain questions should be certified to your City Attorney
for an opinion. He will ultimately have to address these issues and it seems that this
should happen before the planning commission makes a commitment. The particular
issues include the following:
• In determining "materially detrimental effects" should the aggregate of the proposal
be considered or is each incremental increase considered on it own?
• Is a new HUP the appropriate way to address this issue?
• Is consideration of use of the space appropriate?
MATERIALLY DETRIMENTAL ISSLt
Chapter 17.56A.030 provides in part that:
"No historical use permit shall be issued unless the city finds the historical use: (1). will
not have materially detrimental effects on neighboring properties due to excessive noise,
lighting, other interference with the peaceable use and possession of said neighboring
properties..." .
The question is whether the ordinance should be construed to allow an applicant to
impose a materially detrimental effect on its neighbors by a series of permits, none of
which would be materially detrimental in its own right.
This case is a classic example. In the original process, the question of how much retail
would be considered as materially detrimental was discussed in numerous hearings and
submissions before the planning commission and the city council. In an effort to avoid
crossing the line of a "materially detrimental effect" the Council limited retail use to an
amount not more than the original store and storage shed, and imposed specific
restrictions on the second floor and base jment:
"...use of the basement shall be restricted to mechanical equipment, bookkeeping and
storage that supports the market use occupying the first floor, and use of the second floor
shall be limited to bookkeeping and storage that supports the market use as well as
storage space leased to a single party only requiring infrequent outside access to the
storage area". (emphasis supplied).
The ordinance limited the actions to those that would not have a "materially detrimental
effect" on the neighbors. Should the ordinance be construed to allow an applicant to
avoid this proscription by multiple permits where the follow-on permits create a
materially detrimental effect when considered with the prior permits but may not have
that effect -if considered in a vacuum?
ARE FOLLOW-ON HUP'S APPROPRIATE IN THIS CIRCUMSTANCE.
The submission of a second HUP , before the first on is even implemented and the
building finished, is not addressed specifically in the ordinance.
The resolution approving the HUP contains a section entitled " Restrictions on Changes
of Use After H.U.P. Approval" . It says that "changes of use" will require another permit
but that there is no guarantee of approval for "another use". Is this section restrictive, i.e.
is it intended to restrict changes of use (as the title implies) or is it permissive, i.e. is it
intended to be a vehicle to reallocate space for uses that were previously approved.
Certainly the applicant could have appealed the first decision. It did not do so. The
ordinance does provide an avenue of relief in the Variances section 17.56A.015. That
section requires that the applicant establish "unnecessary hardships" or practical
difficulties". I do not know if those exist in this case, but an applicant should not be able
to avoid the requirement by filing serial petitions for a HUP.
May the statute, Chapter 17.56A, be used to reallocate space between approved uses in a
circumstance where the applicant does Wt propose "another use"?
ARE CONSIDERATION OF USE ISSUES APPROPRIATE?
The Planning Commission struggled with the issue of whether it was appropriate to ask
the applicant to provide them with schematic plans which show how access will be
provided to the space and where the demising wall will be placed and how the space will
be utilized.
What happens in the 3 distinct spaces will impact the use of the property and will impact
the neighborhood. For example if the second floor is dedicated to a coffee shop this
should be explained to the Commission. Putting aside the issue as to whether sale of an
occasional cup of coffee by the old store gives rise to an historical right to a coffee shop,
should not the commission be advised if this the intention of the applicant? When the
applicant asks the commission to rely on a parking study which was based on the
experience at convenience stores with an average 3 or 4 minute visit is it appropriate to
ask if this is the use intended for the space?
The location of demising walls and access stairways is part of the necessary information.
When the applicant admits at the hearing that the existing submissions to the city are not
accurate in these essentials it (1)undermines the staff analysis based on the prior
submissions (2)takes up time in the public meeting while these issues are attempted to
be reconciled and (3) creates a risk of misunderstanding.
Is it appropriate for the commission to insist that the applicant provide the following
before acting on the submission:
• schematic plans showing access to the subject space, and
• schematic plans showing demising walls segregating the subject space in a lawful
manner, and
• a written commitment as to how the space will be utilized and a traffic and parking
study based on the commitment.?
Please provide a copy of this letter to the city attorney at this time, and to the planning
commission members as soon as it is allowed. .
Thank you 0

Norton Clapp
The ghost of Norton Clapp appeared in a dream last night and remarked on
the condition of the town he loved so generously and well.
He was the Chairman of the Board of The Weyerhaeuser Company. Among
other things, he bought the farm now enjoyed by all of Medina as the
Overlake Golf & Country Club, and gave the land (along with much that is
on it) now occupied by St. Thomas Church. The Medina Store, as it was
under John Frost, was appreciated and approved by him.
His vision for the Store
No commercial expansion. A grocery and convenience store like the one that
was there in 1955.
No additional parking.
The Store, regrettably, has been enlarged. This has not improved the town
aesthetically, and does violence to the historic nature of the building.
The City, however, has expanded, and needs more office and storage space.
The upper floor of the enlarged Store could provide the office space, and the
basement could provide the needed storage. Enlargement of the City Hall
might then be avoided, and savings accomplished.
The new space on the ground floor might serve as a place for neighbors to
meet and visit, and could contain a small branch library and /or a historical
exhibit.

Joseph, at my reqquest you did not distribute Karen sparks' letter to the Planning
Commission regarding the Green store HUP. You did mention to the commission that
her letter was received, but at my request was not distributed. The hearing last
night was continued to Sunday, October 8 in order for the applicant to address some
issues raised by the Commission. I had requested you not to distribute Karen's
letter because it indicated that she would have to vote against the proposal 'as
presented in the documents without the benefit of any oral discussion at the meeting
that might shed light on and assuage [her] concerns'. I was concerned that had a
vote been taken last night, commission consideration of her letter could be
construed as a violation of the appearance of Fairness doctrine. However, since the
hearing has been continued and assuming that Karen is prepared to attend the
hearing, the reason for withholding the letter no longer is valid.
Provided that Karen indicates that she will participate (after reviewing the tapes
of the meeting and all exhibits submitted), you should distribute her letter to the
Commission, plus the applicant along with this email. This will give the applicant
time to respond at the hearin to the issues raised in her letter and will give
Karen the opportunity to fairly judge the merits of the proposal.

Subject: Green Store HUP Application
Mark and Fellow Commissioners:
I
S E P 2 5 2006
As you know, I cannot attend the Planning Commission meeting on Tuesday due to a conflict with
longstanding travel plans to London to see my father-in-law honored for his work in the British court
system. After reviewing the PC packet from Medina for Tuesday's meeting, I wanted to give you my
thoughts on the modification of the Historical Use permit for the Green Store.
Clearly this subject as presented is both too weighty and complex to expect us to render a decision after
only 4/5 days of review. It appears that by expanding the use of the building as the applicant seeks to do -
to allow retail space on all three floors of the building - the application would trigger certain review
requirements that were not triggered by the original application. The value of the building as set forth on
the original application has surely been exceeded and would likely have triggered a different level of
mitigation under Medina's Municipal Code. In addition, it looks as if a figure of 2,016 sf was used for
permitting for the commercial structure although it actually exceeds 6,500 sf. (The building may indeed
be much larger based on how it is calculated.) Had the entire sf to be used for retail been included in the
initial application, SEPA's 4,000 sf threshold would have been exceeded. According to Joseph's memo,
only that amount that now exceeds the original application is under review, meaning that the current
application also skirts the SEPA requirement. Thus, the applicant has now been allowed to skirt SEPA's
4,000 sf threshold twice and take advantage of exemptions of WAC 197-11-800. Shouldn't this expanded
use reopen the original HUP on the larger subjects of structure use and traffic with all of their
ramifications? Permitting "888 square feet (out of 2,511 total basement square footage)" raises questions
as to what will be done with the remaining basement square footage and how it will be used.
The drawings submitted with the application appear to have only one ADA accessible entrance and one
set of stairs. Shouldn't the applicant's structure conform to commercial retail standards if retail space is
allowed on both the upper and basement floors?
Parking continues to be a concern. The parking and traffic survey performed by Mr. Brown appears to
have been conducted during one hour of the day, which may or may not have been representative of what
traffic on the adjacent streets is at other times. Available parking is also the subject of some
disagreement. When asked, a city staff member counted the parking places on his plans and came up with
9 on 8`h St. and 5 on 76 h Ave. This differs from the numbers provided by Mr. Brown. Certain times of
day may generate more traffic than the noon hour, as people stop after work to pick up their dry cleaning
or grocery items on their way home from work. Certain times of the year may also generate more traffic
as Medina Beach traffic may reach as far north on Evergreen Point as NE 8'h. Are the spaces along NE 8t'
and Evergreen Point private parking for the use of the Green Store only? The applicant indicates that
some people may park at the Post Office and walk to the store. Has the Post Office been contacted about
the possible use of its lot by store customers? This could lead to insufficient spaces being available for
Post Office customers, particularly during busy mailing times and could lead to back ups on adjacent
streets.
From Joseph Gelling's historical account of the store, there was never a basement on the property and the
second floor was used only for storage or perhaps as a residence at one time. This makes the application
before us non -compliant with the "Historical" aspects of the Medina Grocery. As built, the structure
doubles the size of anything that has existed on the property previously. Seating for patrons, inside or out,
appears to be a new use, as well. The expanded hours allowed in Resolution No. 302 also do not have a
historic basis. I bring this up not so much as points of contention but rather as points of negotiation that
might be used to soften the impact of any expanded application on the immediate neighbors.
In the packet, Joseph states, "During the review of HUP 2003-01 the Planning Commission and City
Council articulated concerns about future alternative use proposals that might be applied for based on
financial goals of the property owner. This resulted in a condition being added to Resolution 302 stating
that circumstances specific to the property owner should not — in themselves — be grounds for approval of
future use proposals." From what I can tell, this new application does exactly that, expands the use of the
property because of circumstances specific to the property owner. The owner has applied for the
expansion because she has been unable to obtain a tenant for the property as currently configured and
approved. What efforts has she made? Is there a tenant in the wings waiting to lease the property if the
requested changes are approved? If not, this proposal seems premature. If she cannot find a tenant for
the property if these changes are allowed and made, might we not see another application for additional
changes to the use of the property?
Finally, but definitely not the least of my concerns is the expansion of retail space to the upper and
basement floors. As approved, the space calls for bookkeeping or storage space on the second floor.
Bookkeeping and storage are relatively passive light traffic activities, generating lights and activity during
regular business hours. The proposed changes to the application would change that, making the upper
and basement floors accessible to the general public during all open store hours, which appear to be seven
days a week. There is bound to be additional garbage generated by additional retail space, additional light
shed from the windows, as well as additional traffic as more people can "fit" in the expanded retail space.
Has anyone determined if the additional use of the floors meets with Fire Department approval? What is
the maximum occupancy for the building?
I wish I could be there on Tuesday to see if the applicant can address my concerns. In my absence, I hope
you will ask some of the questions for me and if you don't receive satisfactory answers, propose that the
subject application be held over for additional study. As presented in the documents without the benefit
of any oral discussion at the meeting that might shed light on and assuage my concerns, I would have to
cast my vote in opposition of this application as presented.
Thanks,
aren Sparks

you may want the applicant to actually go out and mark with washable spray paint, where the cars would actually

Henry passed this on to me. I talked to the police chief and one of the officers that was there while this

He thought that angled parking would be better. Unfortunately that would mean less cars able to park there.

Chairman Nelson and Commissioners:
At your 9/26/06 Planning Commission meeting you called for more detailed parking and traffic
information as well as comparative drawings of the approved floor plans vs. the requested layout. Mr.
Wu should provide the floor plans and to Mr. Brown's parking information let me add the five
photos of vehicles parked in front of the Grocery as originally permitted. That would be 4 vehicles plus
1 handicapped spot on 76th and 9 more vehicles on 8th. Nose in parking would start at the corner stop
sign, not 30' back, turning a critical corner in the Elementary School's traffic pattern into a blind
corner.

Quite aside from the 26 parking spaces being sought vs. the 14 shown it should be noted that the nose -

Re: Medina Grocery
Modifications to Accessory Uses
Supplemental Traffic & parking Analysis
Dear Mr. Wu:
At the City of Medina Planning Commission meeting of September 26t', 2006 a series of
questions and/or requests for additional information arose concerning the proposed
expansion of the retail space within the existing reconstructed building. Briefly, from my
notes, these included the following general areas of interest.
1. The increased traffic intensity associated with the expanded commercial space.
2. An examination (traffic study) describing the impacts associated with the
additional traffic generated by the increased commercial space.
3. A survey of the quantity (capacity) of existing curbside parking.
4. The development of a parking supply data sheet and/or diagram showing the
scale/location of existing curbside parking pursuant to the MMC Chapter 10.40
Parking, that may be used by patrons of the Medina Grocery.
5. A comparison of current noon hour parking demands at the U.S.P.O. (described in
the letter of September 19'") against the p.m. peak hour parking demand to
determine which is greater.
The following data and analysis has been prepared to answer these. In this regard, for
this supplemental analysis, the same order as shown above is followed.
First, concerning the change in traffic intensity associated with the expanded commercial
facility it is appropriate to consider the original permit application with the grocery store
section at 2,400 gsf on the first floor against the new proposal with the grocery store
displaying goods on three floors with an aggregate space of 4,760 gsf.

Page 2
To describe the change in terms of trip generation reference is made to the Institute of
Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Matrual, 74` edition, Land Use Code
852, Convenience Market (Open 15-16 Hours).
TABLE I
Medina Grocery — Approved versus Proposed Development
Time Interval Store with 2,400 gsf Store with 4,760 gsf
A.M. Inbound 37 74 vehicles/hour
A.M. Outbound 37 74 vehicles/hour
P.M. Inbound 41 81.vehicles/hour
P.M. Outbound 42 84 vehicles/hour
Fundamentally, with the larger grocery store floor area there is a doubling in the trip
generation. For the highest peak hour of the day, the p.m. peak hour, the bi-directional
volume increases from 83 vehicles per hour to 165 vehicles per hour.
However, it should be appreciated that this gross trip data describes overall trip
production for the grocery store and does not include any consideration for reductions in
the associated street traffic volumes related to pass -by traffic. Pass -by traffic is that
portion of the store's traffic demand that is satisfied by existing traffic that is already
operating on the street network. Typically, for a convenience store, pass -by traffic
amounts to about fifty-six percent (56%) of the store's total traffic generation. (Source:
Trip Generation Handbook, 2"d Edition, An ITE Recommended Practice, June 2004,
Institute of Transportation Engineers, Table 5.30, Pass -by Trips and Diverted Linked
Trips, Weekday P.M. Peak Period)
In the context of "traffic intensity" the data of Table II is of value since it describes the
net new traffic brought onto the street system with the proposed larger grocery store.
TABLE U
Medina Grocery — Net New Traffic Generation
A.M. Inbound 33 vehicles/hour
A.M. Outbound 33 vehicles/hour
P.M. Inbound 36 vehicles/hour
P.M. Outbound 37 vehicles/hour
Paul Z. Wu, AIA
October 2, 2006
Page 3
As discussed later when reviewing the current p.m. peak hour traffic demands at the U.S.
Post Office this "net new" traffic volume added to the street system is virtually the same
volume of p.m. peak hour traffic now experienced at the post office driveway where
manual field counts taken during the p.m. peak hour on Thursday, September 281h 2006,
showed an inbound volume of 33 vehicles per hour and an outbound volume of 34
vehicles per hour. Accordingly, and to summarize this element, in terms of the expected
worst -case traffic intensity associated with the net new vehicular traffic brought onto the
road system with the expanded grocery, it is about equal to what the post office currently
produces today.
Second, in terms of the direct new traffic impacts associated with the expanded grocery
store, with its proposed increase in commercial space, reference is made to the appended
Figures 1 and 2 showing current street p.m. peak hour traffic•volumes (Figure 1) and the
forecast net new traffic associated with the Medina Grocery (Figure 2).
The data of Figure 1 is used to assess the current level of service (LOS) at the multi -way
intersection at NE 8 h Street and Evergreen Point Road NE. Adding the data of Figure 2,
the traffic demand forecast associated with the expanded grocery store, to the data of
Figure 1 yields the "with development" analysis case. For reference purposes the LOS
computations for the current p.m. peak hour traffic volume case and the "with
development" case are also appended immediately after Figure 2.
When reviewing the following LOS results it is important to note that the LOS, a measure
of traffic flow quality, is stated in terms of the average vehicular delay. It ranges from
the highest level, LOS `A' where the delay is up to 10 seconds per vehicle, to the lowest
range, LOS `F', where the delay is in excess of 50 seconds per vehicle. LOS `F' is
considered to be the failure mode.
The appended level of service analysis is in accordance with the 2000 Highway
Capacity Manual (HCM) publication by the Transportation Research Board. The
analyses were accomplished using the software entitled HCS 3, produced by the
McTrans Center at the University of Florida and used under license to Christopher
Brown, P.E. The results of the analysis are noted in Table III, below.
TABLE III
Medina Grocery — Intersection Level of Service
Average delay: with current volumes 7.08 seconds
Level of Service: with current volumes A
Average delay: with expanded grocery 7.13 seconds
Level of Service: with expanded grocery A
Paul Z. Wu, AIA
October 2, 2006
Page 4
To summarize the above LOS analysis the impacts of the expanded grocery are
essentially negligible. Indeed, the increased traffic volumes brought onto the street
system are too small to be detectable or even noticeable. In the most basic sense the
theoretical intersection LOS with the expanded grocery will remain at the highest
possible standard.
To summarize this element it may be concluded that the new traffic associated with the
implementation of the larger grocery will have no direct or adverse traffic impacts on the
intersection's traffic operations. Stated another way, the existing street system has a very
large reserve capacity and this is not in any way hampered or impacted by the proposed
expanded grocery store. In summary, its effect on traffic operations will be minimal.
Third, during the public hearing of September 26`h some discussion took place regarding
the availability of curbside parking along Evergreen Point Road NE. This discussion
arose since the supply of on -site parking, as shown on the site plane and totaling 19 stalls,
was only sufficient to accommodate the low range of anticipated peak parking demands
(at 19 stalls) but may not be sufficient to accommodate the potential maximum peak
parking demand for 26 stalls.
Since under a worst -case scenario there may be overflow parking and this, in turn, would
need to be accommodated on the nearby street system a request was made by the
Planning Commission to quantify the availability of proximate curbside parking.
Naturally, such curbside parking must conform to the restrictions and limitations imposed
by city code - MMC Chapter 10.40. Parking.
Of particular interest in this matter is the wording of the statute that limits parking to:
Evergreen Point Road, (76 h NE), Overlake Drive to 28a', but only in special
indented parking areas.
To assess the available curbside parking supply use was made of the 'parking data
sheet" developed by the City of Seattle, Department of Transportation. This form
describes the available parking supply when considering such roadside features as
driveways, fire hydrants, and special zones such as bus stops, loading zones and so on.
Additionally, since there are "indented parking areas" along Evergreen Point Road NE
which are not described on the City of Seattle parallel parking supply documentation
form, reference has been made to the Institute of Transportation Engineers publication
Transportation and Traffic Engineering Handbook, John E. Baerwald, Editor, Matthew J.
Huber and Louis E. Keefer, Associate Editors, Prentice Hall, Englewood Cliffs, New
Jersey, 1976, for defining the theoretical angle parking supply.
Paul Z. Wu, AIA
October 2, 2006
Page 5
The completed Seattle DOT parking data sheets (field forms) and ITE handbook data are
appended for reference.
From the on -street parking survey the following legal curbside parking supply has been
documented by measurement.
TABLE IV
Available Parking Supply — Vicinity of the Medina Grocery
Evergreen Point Road N.E.
East Side West Side
Overlake Drive to NE 8th 3 15
NE 8a` to NE 10`s 12 10
In summary, from this survey the total curbside parking supply in the immediate vicinity
of the Medina Grocery is 40 stalls.
Recognizing that some patrons of the Medina Post Office prefer to park on the street
rather than in the post office parking lot (where13 stalls are available) and that some also
use the curbside mail box for dropping off their post, an estimate of the likely demand by
these patrons should be deducted from the total curbside parking supply shown above (40
stalls) to determine what surplus curbside parking may consequently be available for any
potential Medina Grocery patrons who are not otherwise able to use any of the 19 stalls
proposed to be constructed in front of the store.
Fourth, at the hearing it was suggested that the noon hour might not represent the peak
for maximum post office parking demands. Accordingly, a request was made to obtain
post office parking data during the p.m. peak hour of the street network. The data is also
appended for reference. The p.m. peak hour survey was conducted on Wednesday,
September 27a', 2006. The field notes are appended for reference.
• P.M. Peak Hour of the U.S. P.O. 3:30 — 4:30 p.m.
• Peak Hour Demand In = 33 & Out = 34 veh./hour
• Maximum accumulation in P.O. lot 4 vehicles
• Maximum curbside parking, west side 2 vehicles
• Peak hour use of curbside mail box 7 vehicles

For the p.m. peak hour at the post office the following trip generation was observed.
• Total inbound vehicle arrivals, parking lot 14 veh./hour
• Total inbound vehicle arrivals, curbside 19 veh./hour
• Total outbound vehicle arrivals, parking lot 14 veh./hour
• Total outbound vehicle arrivals, curbside 20 veh./hour
• Total hourly demand 67 veh./hour
The noon hour trip generation at the U.S. post office showed the following demands.
• Total inbound vehicle arrivals, parking lot 29 veh./hour
• Total inbound vehicle arrivals, curbside 18 veh./hour
• Total outbound vehicle arrivals, parking lot 26 veh./hour
• Total outbound vehicle arrivals, curbside 16 veh./hour
• Total hourly demand 89 veh./hour
From the trip generation surveys at the U.S. Post Office it may be concluded that the peak
traffic demands at the post office take place over the noon hour. It is larger than the p.m.
peak hour by 33 percent.
Continuing with the parking issues, then, and considering the total available curbside
parking supply that may be used for the Medina Grocery to satisfy any potential overflow
parking needs the following are of interest.
First, it will be noted that the maximum curbside parking accumulation associated with
the post office on the west side of Evergreen Point Road N.E. was two (2) vehicles.
Further, parking reserved for the curbside mail drop was also two (2). Thus, the total
observed demand for curbside parking at the U.S. post office (2 + 2), amounting to four
(4) stalls, evenly spilt between east and west curbsides, represents the current U.S.P.O.
demand. This demand by four vehicles should be subtracted from the available total
legal curbside parking supply noted on page 5 under Table IV that was 40 stalls.
Second, there are three (3) 45' angled -parking stalls on the east side of Evergreen Point
Road N.E. south of south of N. E. 8"' Street. The adjacent property owner has reserved
these three stalls, assumedly, with a sign stating "PRIVATE". Accordingly, these three
(3) stalls should also be deducted from the total supply.
With the 40 measured legal curbside parking stall supply described on Table IV reduced
by the described post office and privately reserved stalls (4 + 3) the net curbside parking
supply of (40 — 7) 33 stalls is defined. This is a very large surplus parking supply.

October 2, 2006
Page 7
With 33 potential unencumbered, legal, curbside parking stalls along Evergreen Point
Road N.E. between Overlake Drive and NE 10t' Street, it is implicit that a very large
supply of parking is assured for any possible Medina Grocery store overflow needs.
Indeed, it is self-evident that with such a large supply of curbside parking there is really
no need for any additional off -site parking such as at the U. S. Post Office parking lot.
Nonetheless, with the post office parking lot near this site it is to be expected that "shared
parking" will exist. Patrons who stop first at the post office and who will also shop at the
Medina Grocery will likely not bother to move their vehicles. They will just walk the
few dozen feet down Evergreen Point Road N.E.
Similarly, the reverse will also be found. Shoppers who come first to the Medina
Grocery will likely not bother to shift their parking over to the U. S. Post Office lot
merely to do their postal business. Thus, shared parking is essentially a 2-way
experience. Moreover, with surplus parking in the U. S. Post Office lot it will not be
detrimental to either enterprise. Rather, one business will aid the other.
Nonetheless, since the U. S. Post Office lot has been mentioned at the hearing in terms of
its availability it should be clear that it is not needed for any Medina Grocery parking
needs. There is a more than sufficient supply of on street parking for any possible
Medina Grocery overflow parking needs.
Last, comments were made at the hearing regarding maximum parking demands during
high demand seasons such as on very hot summer days when many families visit the park
to swim in Lake Washington and at other high seasons, too, such as pre -Christmas. It
should be noted that in the traffic engineering and transportation planning practice due
cognizance is given to the concept of economical designs where the following quote may
be noted.
It is neither wise nor economical, however, to provide for the extreme hourly
volumes of traffic that may occur but a few times during the year.
Traffic Systems Analysis for Engineers and Planners, Martin Wohl & Brian V.
Martin, McGraw-Hill Book Company, New York, 1967 page 166.
While high demands for curbside parking may infrequently take place in this general area
that here is a large surplus in the on -street parking supply for the Medina Grocery is
clearly shown. Parking is not an issue.

To summarize, a number of significant facts are evident from this supplemental traffic
circulation and parking analysis. For the expanded Medina Grocery these include the
following.
• Gross new traffic generation will at worst include 81 inbound and 84 outbound
trips for the expanded Medina Grocery.
• From published data, about 56 percent of the store's traffic will come from the
existing traffic stream (as pass -by traffic).
• Consequently, net new traffic attracted to the store will amount to about 36
inbound and 37 outbound p.m. peak hour trips.
• By way of reference, net new traffic added to the fronting road system will be
about the same as now found at the post office.
• The level of service at the intersection of NE 8I' Street and Evergreen Point Road
NE is currently `A' with an average delay of 7.08 seconds.
• With an expanded Medina Grocery, to include some 4,760 gsf, the LOS will
remain at `A' and the average delay will increase moderately to 7.13 seconds.
• Level of service `A' is the highest standard defined in the profession.
• Concerning traffic operations, it may be concluded that with the expanded grocery
the resulting impacts will be minimal.
• Regarding the peak hour of the post office, from observations in September it
appears the noon hour traffic volume is larger than the p.m. peak hour.
• Regarding the Medina Grocery the maximum parking demands are estimated to
be no greater than 26 stalls
• The parking to be built at the site will include a supply of 19 stalls.
• At most, there may be a peak hour overflow of no more than 7 vehicles.
• The gross supply of on street legal curbside parking was measured at 40 stalls.
• Reducing this supply to account for current on street parking demands for 4 stalls
at the post office and for 3 stalls at a nearby private residence the net supply of
available, legal, curbside parking was measured at 33 stalls.
• With at worst an overflow parking demand for 7 parking stalls and a supply of 33
available stalls at the curb, there will be no off -site parking impacts.
• Fundamentally, a supply of over 400 percent is available to meet the maximum
possible overflow parking needs.
In terms of both traffic and parking operations the expanded Medina Grocery will not
induce any adverse impacts.

Recommended parking dimensions for imported cars-15 ft (4.57 m) in length -
differ from recommendations for standard U.S. cars (see Table 15.5). Stall lengths
and widths are recommended at 15 ft (4.57 m) and 7.5 ft (2.29 m), respectively. If a
number of these smaller -sized spaces are to be included in a facility, they should be
placed together in a prime location to encourage their use. If these spaces are not
convenient, small car drivers will park in the standard -sized spaces. Because of dif-
ficulties in predicting the amount of usage and in controlling the spaces, most Ameri-
can parking facilities are being designed with all spaces of sufficient size for standard
American cars.

Note: These dimensions are for 18.5-ft length stalls, measured parallel to the vehicle and are based on
results of a special study to evaluate the effects of varied aisle and stall width for the different parking angles
shown. The study was. conducted in December 1970 by the Federal Highway Administration and Paul C.
Box and Associates.

module is the one that places the bumpers of vehicles in adjacent stalls next to one
another. This layout is illustrated in Figure 15.1, along with parking dimensions
for various angles of parking. At 45°, a nested interlock is possible when adjacent
aisles have one-way movement in the same direction. This places the bumper of one
car adjacent to the front fender of another car and is not recommended, for the
likelihood of damaged fenders i-s much greater than with other parking layouts.

Re: Medina Grocery
Modifications to Accessory Uses
Diagrams of On -street Parking Supply
Dear Mr. Gellings:
I am enclosing copies of the on -street parking supply diagrams as requested by the
Planning Commission at the last hearing.
As you will see, one page is for the section of Evergreen Point Road N.E. south of NE 8 h
Street down to Overlake Drive and the other is for the section from NE 8t' Street to NE
IOn' Street.
These aerial photographs are from the Google web site. I was not able to get a clear
series from the CD you provided. That CD is enclosed for your further use.
Incidentally, on close examination of these two photographs you will find:
• 12 cars parked on the west side of Evergreen Point Road N.E. south of NE 8a'
Street.
• 1 car parked in a 45' angled parking stall on the east side of Evergreen Point Road
N.E. south of NE 8a' Street.
• No cars parked on the west side of Evergreen Point Road N.E. north of NE 8n'
Street.
• 1 van parked on the east side of Evergreen Point Road N.E. north of NE 8a' Street.
• 2 cars parked in the US Post Office parking lot.
• 1 car in the process of either arriving or leaving the US Post Office parking lot..
• On street, with a supply of 40 stalls, 14 are occupied showing an occupancy rate
of only 35 percent.
These photographs confirm a very large parking surplus on Evergreen Point Road N.E.
Yours truly
4C..Brown, P.E.

Subject: Post Office Parking
Chairman Nelson and Commissioners:
I write as owner of the Medina Post Office property in response to the allegation made by
Medina's Staff and Mr. Brown PE (Traffic Study) at your 9/26 meeting that a tacit if not formal
agreement exists for me to share Post Office parking with neighboring properties. For the record
let me assure you that no such agreement exists and it may become necessary in the future for
me to formally post and restrict Post Office parking for Post Office customers. Therefore it would
be incorrect and improper to include Post Office parking space in the calculations for adjoining
or nearby properties.
Thank you,

MEMORANDUM
DATE: 10/3/06
TO: Joseph Gellings
FROM: Joe Willis Sr., Director of Public Works
RE: Medina Grocery Store Revised Peak Period Parking
The report from Christopher Brown & Associates dated September 19, 2006
estimates peak parking demand to range from 19 stalls to 26 stalls. The present
proposed parking plan for the Store accommodates 19.
The author, C.V. Brown P.E. postulates that there are an additional 10 parallel
spaces available along Evergreen Point Road. From my observations 8 can be
accommodated on the west side of Evergreen Point Road and 2 can be
accommodated on the east side. I therefore agree with Mr. Brown's conclusions.

Anna Bucknam, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Thomas Bucknam of Little Neck, L. I.,
became the bride of Francis Hugh Gor-
den of Bellevue.
The bridesmaid was Miss Edith Free-
man of Manhattan, a school friend of the
bride, and the best man was Thomas
Bucknam, jr., a brother of the leading
lady.'
A reception in Zion Parrish Hall fol-
lowed the ceremony and was attended
by about 150 people. The happy couple
left late the same evening on a honey-
moon trip, which, we are pleased to note,
brought them to Bellevue, where they
intend to make their future home.
Mrs. F. H. Gordon is an accomplished
pianist and has been giving instruction
in music at Little Neck, N. Y., where
she has resided up to this time.
The wedding was the culmination of a
romance that began, while Francis was
stationed at Camp Mills. N. Y. before
going to France, where he spent seven-
teen months in Service with the Sunset
Division.

EXHAUST
Charlie Le Warne, the accommodat-
ing Hardware man; is installing an air
pump for -the benefit of the ever increas-
ing auto traffic in this neck of the woods
and he very sincerely invites you and all
your autoist friends to take advantage
of this service whenever you happen to
be down this way and need it. The air
is as free as the ozone you breathe. If
folks appreciate this feature it will prob-
ably be only a short time before Charlie
follows with a nice bright light in front
of the store like the one at the Bellevue
grocery. Such a worthy stunt would un-
doubtedly make Barber Smith and Dr.
Sloan jealous of that end of town and in
a little while they would brighten the
corner where they are and that would
make Charlie Campbell sit up and take
notice and the next thing you'd see would
be either a big white light or an illum-
inating electric REAL ESTATE sign by the
little red office at the curve on the road
up the hill. The County Commissioners
would not be outdone by private enter-
prise and would immediately light up
the dock so you could find it in the dark.
It would only cost Charlie Johnson, Gor-

Cruse a few sheckels each to place and
maintain an outside light at their corner
each and every one of these fellows be-
lieves in light and lots of it and they
prove it every night. Would the epidem-
ic of good work stop here? Could it? I
should softly murmur no; by this time
E. M. Sherman and R. T. Reid would
get lined up and a light would appear at
their corner. They might let J. E. Nic-
hols and T. J. Drummond add to the
fund and place a much needed light at
the bridge, or J. & T. might go it alone.
This would be a little out of J. E's ter-
ritory but he wouldn't mind as it would
surely encourage others farther along the
road. There is no way of calculating just
when or where the thing would end. It,
might carry enough prestige to per$uade
the Commercial Club to light up the
road in front of their palatial edifice. In
order to keep up with the progressive C.
C. "The Reflector" would be forced to
light up its corner (we will when all this
happens) and so on ad infinitum. Of
course this seems like a gentle hiliarous
dream, but no one knows where this air
pump installation may lead. All we need
is initiative and perhaps Charlie has it.

Let private business do as it wants
The Medina Store at 92 years is
little different from T&D Feeds in
Redmond and any number of other ;
businesses that have survived
progress until now.
The Medina City Council now
scurries around in an effort to
respond to some of their older citi-
zens wishing to hang on to the past
at someone else's expense. The
Medina Store is a private enterprise
on private property and therefore
beyond the purview of local gov
ernment.
Neighborhoods and times are.
changing and I do not believe that it
is the responsibility of government
and the taxpayers to preserve the
past. Certainly John Frost, 15 years
ago, and now Mrs. Lee will try to
maximize their financial return on
the property, nostalgia not with --.-
standing. If there are some well-
heeled citizens or a historical society
that is/are willing to meet Mrs. Lee's
price, let them step forward now.
Medina also has a small post .
office that rents space next to the
Medina Store from Mr. Frost. Now
here is a business/service that is uti-
lized by the citizens of Medina and
could loosely be construed as being
a part of Medina's infrastructure..?_
Were the post office to move off'"
then the property would be just-'
another non -conforming property.,:
On the other hand if the city was
assured that the post office would
stay and Mr. Frost indicated an inter-
est in selling, then and only then
should, the city of Medina consider
involving itself in the purchase and
rental of private property.

In Medina a youngster's first solo
trip into the outside world is often to
the Medina Grocery where motherly
clerks and genial John Frost will greet
the little fellow and head him home.
If he's a typical child, it won't be too
many more years before he'll be back
daily with whatever change he can
muster up to learn the rudiments of
arithmetic, bent over an assortment of
goodies from the Candy Room.
The Medina Grocery is more than a
place to buy food. It's a tradition. Built
in 1908. it has softwood floors which
get oiled a couple of times a year, clap-
board walls, and an ancient safe that
was hauled in by a team of horses. You
expect to see a potbellied stove there,
but there's no room for one. Every crack
--- --_ and corner is filled with co -
mmodities-and edibles.
For sixty years the Me-
dina Post Office was situated
'. in the back of the store. In
1970 it was moved next door
into the square brick building
that was originally the tele-
phone exchange for the East -
side and later became Walter
Hagenstein's home.
Hagenstein's parents
bought the grocery in 1910.
As colorful as the community
he served, young Walter de-
livered groceries for many
years on the back of a burro,
following the trails and dirt
roads to the three points, up
Clyde Hill and pastthestraw-
berry farms and pea patches
into Bellevue.
`The Medina Store Today"
Art prints of this original painting,
by William Wen'bach, are available
from Wallace and Wheeler, Ina
In 1916 he purchased a Model T
truck in which he continued the daily
deliveries, usually stopping by the
school and picking up youngsters to
accompany him on his rounds.
John Frost who bought the store in
1951 also delivers. His green truck is a
familiar sight in the area. He calls his
drivers "ambassadors.'
John himself tends the store, arriv-
ingat7each morning and staying until
7 at night. It is not unusual to have
housewives in curlers and kimonas as
his first customers of the day, stopping
by along with joggers for a carton of
eggs ora loaf of bread. On a hot
summer day, his lastcustom -
ersofthe day will undoubt-
edly be in bathing suits,
picking up something for
supperontheir way home
from the beach.
The store is particularly
well known for its beautiful
produce, a reflection of the
proprietor's passion for flow-
ers and all things that grow.
Much of it is local, "a fellow
over on 10th providing kohl-
rabi, carrots, beatsand green
beans: a Japanese gardener
from Woodinville bringing in
snap peas and cauliflowers,
zuchinni and new potatoes;
neighbors up the road supply-
ing red raspberries and cher-
ries."
John will thump a melon
for you if you ask him. His
judgment is infallible. His friendly clerks are equally ac-
commodating. Most of them stay for
manyyears. They have included a ballet
dancer whose extensive cultural back-
ground made him the person to consult
on current theater in the city. Matrons
from that stretch of the lake once
known as the "Gold Coast" have worked
there too. As well as students from the
Northwest Bible College in Kirkland.

Convenience, safety offered
Bill Safire and my wife are quite correct that a national ID card would to a large extent strip us of our treasured privacy. Regrets
believe that they are not only ignoring reality but they are behind the times.
Years ago anyone with computer skills could search public and many banking records, thereby making many elements of one'!
life public. There was just such an instance in Medina's last elections, where information gathered on the Internet was misused
anonymously and remains under investigation.
Crossing the Canadian border is now greatly facilitated by a U.S. passport, $60 each, that still does not even contain provision
fingerprints.
Rep. Barbara Jordan headed a study years ago whose reluctant conclusion was the only way to control our borders was with E
or at least border states' ID system. While Safire's column takes things to an extreme, his suggestion that all of our information
and should in my estimation, be contained on one secure credit card -size card makes sense to me. Not only do I want the obvi
convenience, but also from a safety standpoint, t prefer my medical records be available to the Medic 1 people.
VVhile I am not ready for an ID implant, I would readily accept electronic dogtags to replace my military ones.
That said, the certainty of governmental tyranny must be addressed.

Subject: Conflict of Interest
Mr. Mayor and Mr. Chairman,
Hope this finds you both well.
To get straight to the point, I'm troubled by some of the things I'm witnessing concerning a lack of
willingness on the part of our public officials to recuse themselves from situations in which they have
an obvious conflict of interest. I don't think there's anything evil or nefarious going on, but I do
feel that there is a lack of understanding about when it is appropriate for public officials to remove
themselves from hearing an issue.
Here's a simple but widely accepted definition:
Conflict Of Interest: A situation occurring when an official's private interests may
benefit from his or her public actions
My observation is that the way we deal with this currently is to ask the official "Do you think you can
be objective?" This has to rank right up there with "Did anyone one give you a suspicious package to
carry onboard this flight?" as the most useless question ever asked. No one will ever answer "No" to
this question so we might as well not ask it. Everyone feels they can be objective. That's irrelevant to
a governing body tasked with providing fair decisions. You've got to appear squeaky clean with no
appearance of impropriety.
The latest, and most glaring example I've witnessed occurred during the recent Planning
Commission's Medina Store HUP hearings. As a disclaimer, let me state that I didn't and don't care
one bit about the issue that was decided concerning the change of use. Additionally, I've never
met or spoken to Mr. Gerry Zyfers, but what I've seen, heard and read about him makes me think
he's a good guy that I'd probably get along with okay. But when specifically asked at the two
meetings, he said he didn't have any conflict of interests and that he could be objective. What?!?!
The guy lives right by the property in question, has spoken publicly as a citizen against the store, and
was part of the crowd that continually appealed the HUP. Even before the meeting started he was a
10/ 13/2006
Page 2 of 2
poster child for "Conflict of Interest". And then once the hearings started he was continually asking
non-objective questions. This came to a head at the discussion for the vote; when asked for his
opinion he states that "there's no way allowing this change isn't materially detrimental to
neighboring properties. This will cause the property values of everyone on 8th street to be
less." Come on, the Zyfers live on 8th street! He's saying that he feels if the motion on which he's
now voting passes, his property will be worth less money to him. HOW IS THAT NOT A CONFLICT
OF INTEREST? When a public official says something like this, it is critically important they are
asked to recuse themselves at that point. I was shocked no one on the commission objected to his
statement. Regardless, it should have never been allowed to get to that far. He should have been
forced to recuse himself at the beginning.
What I learned from observing and reading the minutes of these meetings is that the concept of
"Material Detriment" was and remains a key issue in granting the change to the HUP. By definition, it
is impossible for any Commissioner or Councilman whose residence neighbors the property to vote
against this change, and not have a conflict of interest. By voting against it, they're saying it is
materially detrimental to the neighboring properties. Yet they own one of those same neighboring
properties. To insure our proceedings appear fair and unbiased, these officials have to be forced to
recuse themselves on this and all similar issues.
Yes, I'm aware that the City Attorney, when asked at the beginning of the meeting, thought Gerry
Zyfers & Karen Sparks had no conflicts of interest. However, that was before any of Mr. Zyfers'
questions or comments. Perhaps with hindsight he's rule differently now. And yes, I'm also aware that
the outcome of the vote did not go Mr. Zyfers' way. That doesn't excuse the conflict of interest.
Consider it a free warning sign that our current process is broken.
Mr. Mayor, you've got this same issue coming up when Council considers this recommendation from
the Planning Commission. Councilman Lawrence, who I'm also sure is an honest and good man,
owns property that is neighboring to the Medina Store. Whether he feels he can be objective or not,
he does, by definition, have a conflict of interest. Couple that with past public comments against
various store issues, and you've got to agree that he, as well as Mr. Zyfers, should not be hearing any
issues relating to that property.
Thank you for your time, and your service to our community.
Sincerely,
Patrick Boyd

RE: The Medina Store, 800 Evergreen Point Road, Modification to Accessories Uses
Dear Mr. Gellings:
This afternoon I was provided with a copy of an email message and attachments from H.
Paulman, addressed to the Commission regarding the Medina Store. I am an attorney
representing Hae C. Lee, the owner of the property. The information provided to the
commission and the fax or email from Mr. / Ms. Paulman was unexpected and it was impossible
for Ms. Lee to obtain her regular attorney regarding the Medina Store.
I am responding to this document because I wish to set the record straight. First of all, the entire
intent of this email was mean -spirited, totally irrelevant to the matter at hand, and was only
provided to cast Mrs. Lee in a bad light without giving her an opportunity to respond.
Second, there is no question that Mrs. Lee purchased and currently owns the Glacier Motel in
Fife. When she purchased these series of buildings, they were in absolute ruin. The purpose of
the purchase was to upgrade and make the units a quality long and short term stay for travelers
along Interstate-5, and those who would be temporary working at a Pierce County project (the
Port, Tacoma Dome, etc.). It took a great deal of money and a lot of time to have this
construction completed.
Mr. / Ms. Paulman went on the internet and found that the Department of Health had closed the
business because of the disrepair. This is exactly what Mrs. Lee expected when she purchased
the business as an investment. In the meanwhile, after arranging for financing and for
construction crews to enter the property on the scheduled that the contractor and subcontractors
could make, the property was completely revamped, rebuilt, reroofed, asphalted, and made water
tight. New furniture, new restrooms, new decking, and a dozen other improvements were made
at the cost of thousands of dollars.
The result of this renovation was a beautiful little motel, with individual units located on the
south side of Fife, to the west and along Hwy 99. The area is pristine and worth a significant
amount of money over and above the purchase price.
Confirmation of the completion was actually furnished by Mr. / Ms. Paulman in his/her effort to
diminish Mrs. Lee. The verification from the Department of Health states that the Department of
Health has approved all the units to be re -licensed following a full inspection by the Department
of Health. I would also like to point out that the Department of Health has confirmed that the
property is "in good standings with the Department of Health and there are no restrictions on the
license ..."
Mrs. Lee is an investor who has repeatedly purchased depressed properties and turn them into
economical and financially stable enterprises. The attempt by Mr. / Ms. Paulman is appalling
and undeserved. The Medina Store is a historical location, which Mrs. Lee also restored to fit in
to the Medina community, replacing the much older store that used to be on the spot.
Thank you.
Very truly yours,
Leslie Clay Terry, III

company. The Glacier Motel may not offer accommodations until a hearing is held.
Conditions in the motel rooms include exposed electrical wiring, missing or
inoperable smoke detectors, rodents and general unsanitary conditions. The owner of
the Glacier Motel has 20 days to request a hearing and contest these charges.
Motels offering three or more units to guests for less than 30 days must be

Re: Meeting 9-26-06
HUP * 2006-01 Medina Store
First of all, I understand that three members of the board for tomorrow's meeting are unable
to attend. Although you may have a quorum, this decision is too critical and should be made
when the entire board is in attendance.
Medina's Comprehensive Plan states:
"... Will not have material/ detrimental effects of neighboring
Y g g properties... or other interference
with the peaceful use and possession of said neighboring properties. "
"Maintain a high quality residential community in a natural, highly vegetated environment."
The request for this variance should be denied based on this alone. The new larger store has
already had a detrimental effect.
1. Square footage:
a. "The structural coverage of the new building will match that of the former store
building and former storage combined at 3,100 square feet. "This is not a valid
point. The storage space was not used for retail use therefore should not be part
of the equation.
b. MMC 17.56A allows for HUP corresponding to historical uses which existed on a site at
the time of City incorporation. The original use for the top floor and basement was for
storage, a residence, wedding, parties and meetings.
c. Because of the request for increase in square footage, it should no longer be exempt
from SEPA.
d. HUP 2003-01 stipulated that "structural coverage of the new structure may not exceed
the combined footprints... to avoid the production of new effects on neighboring
properties". If approved, you are doing exactly that.
2. Parking:
a. The plan is for 16 spaces plus a loading zone. The study "...concludes that the
available parking is sufficient for the expected parking demand. " First of all you and
both know that there will not be sufficient parking available. Tully's has 35-40 cars
every day, which is now encroaching on residential areas. With the impending
sidewalk installation, parking will no doubt be on the south side of NE 8th and up
Evergreen Point Road and the P.O. What will be done to protect those homes?
b. To my knowledge there is only one disabled access to the building. Is this ADA
compliant? Wheelchair -bound customers have only one exit in case of emergency.
3. Mitigation item #11:
"Landscaping and Noise/Visual Impact Buffers - The existing buffer restrictions are
adequate to for the additional floor area of retail. "
HUP Standard of Review / Noise:
"A masonry wall and landscaping buffer are also required... "
I request that you all take a look at the "landscaping buffer". It is a row of Photinia plans
(which landscape professionals recommend you never plant) that are about 2-3' tall. The
neighbor to the west of this hedge will end up having to prune it at least annually. This
"buffer" will not be effective for at least 5 years and I am sure is not what "buffer" was
meant to be in the CP.
The Comprehensive Plan Designation for the Medina Store states "The intent of the
Comprehensive Plan is to maintain a high quality residential community in a natural, highly
vegetated environment. "The owner should be required to make the site just that.
However, with the trees that were cut down (with probably more to follow) this site totally
lacks landscaping / buffers.
4. "It is also clear that another retail use on this property, if appropriately designed, could
regain the status of community asset previously held by the Medina Store." You are giving
the owner carte blanche on the usage. How is this "clear"? You don't even know what you
are approving.
5. The recommendation by Mr. Gellings states that this revision is "related to the property
owner's difficulty in securing a lease arrangement for storage on the upper floor." He then
states in the next paragraph "...the condition from HUP 2003-1... prevents the owner's
situation from being the sole basis for the City to approve such changes." This is a
contradiction.
6. Mr. Gellings makes an uncalled for editorial comment: "a total of 4,527 square feet of
revenue -producing floor area, which is only 14% more than.... Allowed by HUP 2003-1."
"Only" is offensive to the neighbors and should not be included in this response. "Only"
would not be used if ra ou were the neighbors.
The intent of the CP is to maintain a high quality residential community in a natural, highly
vegetated environment. It is also critical to the community to retain the character of the city,
including a small town feeling with a limited amount of services available for the convenience
of the city's residents."
4 "Existing non-residential uses within a residential zone ... may be redeveloped with a new
non-residential use in a manner compatible with surrounding properties..."'
-;� "Will not have materially detrimental effects on neighboring properties due to excessive
noise, lighting or other interference with the peaceful use and possession of said neighboring
properties. "
4 "Has been designed to minimize adverse effects on neighboring properties, taking into
account the historical use of the property. "
Listen to those of us that live nearby. Our peaceful neighborhood will be no more.
Please follow your own "rules" and deny HUP Application 2006-1.

Medina Planning Commission:
You are now being asked to re -permit the Green Store project giving you a chance to make the project
more neighborhood friendly. The owner, with Staff compliance, has increased the council approved
envelope by digging a full basement when a'/Z basement had been proposed and then extending and
squaring of the east end of the roof line created even more space distorting one "Historic" aspect of the
structure. By splitting the project into halves Staff allowed this massive structure to slip through as a
level one mitigation project thus prohibiting public comment. Because the outside structure is now
largely completed you are now being asked to reopen the permitting process to relax the originally
permitted use as a Grocery, Deli and Laundry Pickup to a generic "MARKETING" on all three (3)
floors. This may make some sense as it relates to the inside but you must keep in mind that as the
permitting process is now open and you can mitigate what will occur on the outside as well. Medina is
looking forward to a finished product within 18 months,12 months already having expired while we
neighbors are seeking a modicum of tranquility.
Some subjects worthy of review follow:
• Parking both on site and intrusion into the streets. Commonly accepted real estate practice calls for
four (4) parking spaces for every 1,000 sq.ft., there are currently 14 spaces for this 7,600 sq.ft.
structure counting the basement and two floors.
• Safety should be reviewed as there appears to be only one ADA accessible entrance and some
emergency stairways may be missing.
• Outside seating - allowed or forbidden? If allowed where, how much, hours and how should
cleanliness be enforced?
• Outside lighting - how are the neighbors to be shielded?
• Reiterate the prohibition on outside vending or stands.
• Reiterate or reduce the hours of operation.
• Exterior colors - codify green with white trim and a red door.
• Paving and draining of the on site parking should be required.
• There should be no alternative uses for the structure permitted.
Please keep in mind that the composition of both your Commission and Medina's Council is
considerably different from when this City project was initiated and this new application deserves a
fresh approach that gives us a degree of tranquility at least on Sundays. Remember that the HUP
Ordinance requires the primary approval criteria to be based on the impact on the neighbors.

Zoning Code
MMC Chapter 17.56A allows for historical use permits corresponding to historical
uses, which existed on a site at the time of City incorporation.

Subject Property
The property lies at the northeast corner of the intersection of Evergreen Point Road
and NE 8th Street. The lot is small by R-16 zone standards with a width (along
Evergreen Point Road) of 75 feet and a depth (along NE 81h Street) of 125 feet. The
lot area is 9,375 square feet.
Existing Conditions
History of the Property
City staff have been able to assemble some information about the historical use of
this property (commonly known as "the Medina Store") through City records and
contacts with individuals who owned the property at different points in time.
The property has been used as a retail establishment of one form or another from
1910 to 2000 — the retail use on this site predates all of the surrounding homes. The
store building was constructed in 1909 by a Mr. George Tapp. Mr. Tapp originally
rented the upstairs for weddings, parties and meetings. In 1910 the property
became a grocery store operated by tenant Mr. Silas Brown. Some years later, the
property was sold to a Mr. David Hagenstein who ran a combined general store and
post office for many years. The store's inventory catered to a variety of needs with
items such as chicken feed and fertilizers as wells as ice and foodstuffs. The store
provided delivery service, first by burro and then by truck in 1916. Mr. Hagenstein
used the second floor of the building as a residence for his family throughout the
time that he owned the property. Present Medina resident John Frost purchased
the property in 1952 and continued the store operation. Grocery delivery was a
large component of the business in these years. At the peak of business, the Medina
Store employed 10 people. Several proprietors operated the store over the years of
Mr. Frost's ownership with most of them using the second floor as living quarters.
During the later years, use of the second floor was switched to storage. In 1985, the
grocery was purchased by present Medina resident and applicant Hae Lee. Mrs. Lee
operated the store for several years before leasing the space for continued store
operation by Charlie and Mal Song. The Songs operated the business until August
2000.
Retail Use Abandonment in 2000
The retail use of the subject property started in 1910. Since this pre -dates City
incorporation in 1955, the store use was considered a legal non -conforming use and
store structure a nonconforming structure despite the new zoning designation of the
land as R-16 single-family residential.
In August 2000, the store use of the property was discontinued for a period of over
30 days reverting the authorized use of the property to strictly single-family
residential per MMC 17.60.020-B.
City of Medina
-Tanning Report
Historical Use Permit Application
Continued
Because the store use was abandoned, MMC 17.60.020 stipulates that the only
means to re-establish a retail use of the property is through the Conditional Use
Permit or Historical Use Permit processes established in Chapters 17.56 and 17.56A
of the Zoning Code.
Comprehensive Plan Designation for the Medina Store
The intent of the Comprehensive Plan is to maintain a high quality residential
community in a natural, highly vegetated environment. It is also critical to the
community to retain the character of the city, including a small town feeling with a
limited amount of services available for the convenience of the City's residents.
Comprehensive Plan Policy LU-P5 states "Existing non-residential use are
encouraged to be maintained. Existing non-residential uses include:," which is
followed by a list of 12 uses including "Medina Grocery Store."
Comprehensive Plan Policy LU-P6 states "Existing non-residential uses within a
residential zone may be converted to residential use, or may be redeveloped with a
new non-residential use in a manner compatible with surrounding properties when
allowed through the conditional use process."
It is apparent from the numerous references to the Medina Store that the historic
building and use is an integral and highly valued part of the character of the
community. It is also clear that another retail use on this property, if
appropriately designed, could regain the status of community asset previously held
by the Medina Store.
Existing State of Property
The commercial building, authorized by HUP 2003-01 is presently under
construction on the site. It has the following floor areas: main — 2,511 s.f., upper —
1,468 s.f., and basement — 2,511 s.f. The approved construction plans include 13
general purpose parking stalls, two employee stalls, an accessible stall, and a
loading zone. These are all arranged along the site's frontages to Evergreen Point
Road and NE 81h Street.
State Environmental Policy Act
The original proposal was found to be exempt from SEPA. In a revised land use
permit, only the change from the previously -approved proposal is evaluated against
the SEPA exemptions of WAC 197-11-800. The 2,016 square feet area that is
proposed for use changes falls below the commercial building threshold found in that
section.

Continued
Public Comment
The public comment period will extend from September 11 through September 26,
2006. At the time of this report writing the following correspondence had been
received.
1. Letter from Charles Pember, September 20, 2006
Findings of Fact
1. The Medina Store retail establishment was in operation from 1910 to 2000.
2. The structural coverage of the new building will match that of the former
store building and former storage combined at 3,100 square feet.
3. The height of the existing Medina Grocery will remain unchanged at
approximately 25 feet.
4. The Medina Store parcel is designated Local Business in the Medina
Comprehensive Plan.
5. Comprehensive Plan Policy LU-P5 states "Existing non-residential use are
encouraged to be maintained. Existing non-residential uses include:," which
is followed by a list of 12 uses including "Medina Grocery Store."
6. The proposed market is a traditional street -front pedestrian -oriented
building. The design encourages pedestrian and bicycle access.
7. Exhibit 8 is parking demand report prepared by a qualified traffic engineer
possessing a Professional Engineer license. It concludes that the available
parking is sufficient for the expected parking demand with the two additional
stalls proposed in the application.
Historical Use Permit Standard of Review
Medina Municipal Code Chapter 17.56A.030-A states that the City can issue a
Historical Use Permit only if it finds that the proposal:
1. Will not have materially detrimental effects on neighboring properties due to
excessive noise, lighting or other interference with the peaceful use and possession of
said neighboring properties; and
The existence of a store structure and the associated retail use on this site pre -date
the development of the surrounding homes. HUP 2003-01 stipulated that structural
coverage of the new structure may not exceed the combined footprint of the previous
store building and the former accessory storage building to avoid the production of
new effects on neighboring properties.
Noise. HUP 2003-01 established limitations to the allowed hours of operation,
which are adequate for the additional square footage of retail space. HUP 2003-01
limits the amount of outdoor seating to 10 seats and requires that they are located
on the west side of the site, which maximizes the distance from the abutting

residential property. A masonry wall and landscaping buffer are also required by
HUP 2003-01 to follow the east property line.
Light. HUP 2003-01 required lighting levels that are commensurate with a single
family residential neighborhood and prohibited back -lit signs. The east property
line's masonry wall and the nose -in orientation of all parking stalls will prevent
headlight beams from reaching adjacent residences.
2. Has been designed to minimize adverse effects on neighboring properties, taking
into account the historical use of the property.
Mitigation of the retail use on neighboring properties through HUP 2003-01 lead to
the City entering into a concomitant agreement with the property owner. The
agreement addresses 12 mitigation categories. Measures to address each of these 12
mitigation categories were established by the City Council in their approval of the
HUP and are articulated in section 4-D of City of Medina Resolution 302 (Exhibit 1
for this case), which is adopted by reference in the concomitant agreement. The
adequacy of each of these measures for this application's proposed retail expansion
is discussed below.
1. Seating —The existing seating restrictions are adequate to for the additional
floor area of retail.
2. Hours —The existing hours restrictions are adequate to for the additional
floor area of retail.
3. Traffic — HUP 2003-01 dealt with traffic through limits on seating and
parking duration limits. Those restrictions are adequate for the additional
floor area of retail.
4. Parking — Exhibit.8 is parking demand report prepared by a qualified traffic
engineer possessing a Professional Engineer license. It concludes that the
available parking is sufficient for the expected parking demand. A sidewalk
project is presently under design for the north side of NE 8th Street, which
will prevent any extra parking demand from spilling into street parking in
front of neighboring residences in this area.
5. Cooking —The existing cooking restrictions are adequate to for the additional
floor area of retail.
6. Deliveries —The existing delivery restrictions are adequate to for the
additional floor area of retail.
7. After Hours Activities —The existing after hours activity restrictions are
adequate to for the additional floor area of retail.
8. Garbage —The existing garbage restrictions are adequate to for the additional
floor area of retail.
9. Exterior Signage—The existing signage restrictions are adequate to for the
additional floor area of retail.
10. Lighting —The existing lighting restrictions are adequate to for the additional
floor area of retail.

11. Landscaping and Noise / Visual Impact Buffers —The existing buffer
restrictions are adequate to for the additional floor area of retail.
12. Pedestrian Facilities —The existing pedestrian facility requirements are
adequate to for the additional floor area of retail.
Recommendation
It is my understanding that this revised HUP application is related to the property
owner's difficulty in securing a lease arrangement for storage on the upper floor as
allowed by HUP 2003-01. During the review of HUP 2003-01 the Planning
Commission and City Council articulated concerns about future alternative use
proposals that might be applied for based on financial goals of the property owner.
This resulted in a condition being added to Resolution 302 stating that
circumstances specific to the property owner should not - in themselves — be
grounds for approval of future use proposals.
Nonetheless, the present proposal to extent the retail into only portions of the
basement and upper floor results in a total of 4,527 square feet of revenue -producing
floor area, which is only 14% more than the revenue -producing area allowed by HUP
2003-01 (because the entire upper floor was allowed to be leased for storage under
HUP 2003-01). Furthermore, the condition from HUP 2003-01 does not preclude use
changes with a financial benefit to the property owner, it only prevents the owner's
situation from being the sole basis for the City to approve such changes. Therefore,
based upon my finding above that this proposal complies with the planning -based
decision criteria above, I recommend approval of the application.

The revised concept for the Medina Grocery envisions additional space for the grocery
store section, rather than the original proposal of having offices and storage on the upper
floor and only mechanical and limited storage on the basement level, and modifies the
on -site parking design. The laundry/dry cleaners proposed in the original design remains
unchanged.
The grocery store as now suggested will thus include the following spaces.
• 1,128 gsf on the 2nd floor
• 1,816 gsf on the I" floor
• 1,816 gsf on the basement level.
The laundry and dry cleaning section on the first floor will remain at 695 gsf as originally
proposed. In addition, and remaining unchanged in this application, offices in support of
the grocery store and laundry/dry cleaners will include 340 gsf on the upper floor and
storage space in the basement in the amount of 695 gsf.
For defining the maximum expected parking demand generated by this facility it is
therefore assumed that the facility will have an aggregate space of 6,490 gsf.
According to the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Parking Generation
Manual, 3`d edition, for Land Use Code 851— Convenience Market, a suitable reference
for this kind of facility, the range in parking demands are as shown below.
Lowest Demand 19 stalls
85"' Percentile 24 stalls
Highest Demand 26 stalls

As now proposed with this modification to accessory uses the site will include 9 parking
stalls on NE 8'�' Street in a 900 right angle configuration for customers, 4 internal site
parking stalls in a 90' "tandem" configuration accessed from NE 8a' Street and 5 - 900
right angle stalls on Evergreen Point Road, including one (1) HC stall. Additionally, one
(1) 90' right angle parking space is reserved for deliveries.
This total of 19 parking stalls is sufficient to accommodate the "low range" parking
demands as estimated by the latest ITE parking generation manual, as noted on page 1.
Additionally, it is recognized that there is space for 10-parked vehicles in a parallel
configuration on the west side of Evergreen Point Road north of the NE 8a' Street
intersection. These parking stalls are limited to 30 minutes dutation.
The maximum parking demand for the 30-minute stalls on the west side of Evergreen
Point Road (for Post Office patrons) was observed to be three (3) leaving a surplus in the
on -street parking supply of 7 stalls. These 7 stalls may be used by grocery store and
laundry/dry cleaning establishment patrons. As a result, with both on -site and curbside
parking (19 + 7) totaling 26 stalls, there is sufficient parking to accommodate the
proposed "modification to accessory uses" without any impacts to the adjacent U.S. Post
Office.
In the above conclusion it is important to recognize that no discounts have been applied,
as commonly done for commercial enterprises, for "shared parking". Shared parking, in
this case, would include a grocery store patron who has combined his trip with the post
office and has parked in the post office parking lot or on street. With the concept of
shared parking it may be noted that the post office has 13 on -site parking stalls.
From observations taken at the post office over the noon hour 29 patrons used the post
office parking lot and 18 used the curbside parking facilities. The maximum parking
accumulation in the parking lot was seven (7) cars over the noon peak hour from an
available supply of 13 stalls. Accordingly, over the peak hour, an additional six (6) stalls
would be available for the shared parking concept.
As noted above, the grocery store's maximum parking demands can be made up entirely
from both on -site and curbside parking with no reliance whatsoever on the use of any
parking stalls in the post office parking lot.
The reference to the post office parking lot is made merely since shared parking can be

anticipated at this site. Naturally, shared parking is a two-way concept since it can also
include patrons who park in the grocery store parking spaces and visit the post office, in
addition to the reverse.
Last, concerning travel characteristics it is of interest to note the following:
• Post Office Parking Lot users — 29
• Post Office patrons with Curbside Parking — 18
• Post Office patrons arriving as Pedestrians — 7
The ratio of post office patrons using the street for parking, at 38 percent, suggests that
similarly for the grocery store about ten (10) customers over the peak parking period, at
most, will park on the street.
While pedestrians can be expected to visit the grocery store, perhaps about 13 percent of
its total person trips, this has not been taken into account to reduce the forecast maximum
expected .parking demands.
To summarize, enough parking has been designed on site for the minimum ITE forecast
parking demand in this new proposal. Moreover, including available or surplus curbside
parking there is enough available parking to accommodate the site's maximum peak hour
parking demands. The adequacy of the site's parking supply described above does not
include any shared parking with the adjacent post office parking lot although shared
parking can be anticipated. Fundamentally, there is an adequate parking supply to
accommodate the proposed modification to accessory uses for the Medina Store.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call at any time.
Yours truly,
C. V. Brown, P.E.

The convenience markets in this classification are open 24 hours per day. These markets sell
convenience foods, newspapers, magazines and often beer and wine; they do not have gasoline pumps
Database Description
The database contained a mix of suburban, urban and rural study sites. Parking demand differed
between these area types and therefore the data were analyzed separately.
• Average parking supply ratios: 5.3 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. GFA (five study sites).
Weekday parking demand data were available for two suburban study sites. The sites were 2,500 and
1,700 sq. ft. GFA in size and parking demands were counted only in the afternoon. The parking demand
rates between 4:00 and 6:00 p.m. were 5.2 and 5.8 vehicles per 1,000 sq. ft. GFA at the larger and
smaller sites, respectively.
Parking demand was provided for a suburban site on a Saturday. The site was 1,750 sq. ft. GFA. The
parking demand ratio was 4 vehicles per 1,000 sq. ft. GFA and the count was taken during a single hoot
between 12:00 and 1:00 p.m. 1
x
Weekday parking demand data were available for one rural study site. The study site 3,500 sq. ft. GFA
size and counted only between 2:00 and 3:00 p.m. The parking demand rate was 1.4 vehicles per 1,0=:
sq. ft. GFA.

Request
The applicant is requesting a modification to the previous
historical use permit associated with the project currently
under construction at the above address (the "Medina Store").
The previous approval was for a three story building (two
above -ground floors plus a basement) with a market and
laundry service uses allowed on the main floor, market
accessory uses on the basement level and market accessory
uses as well as contractual storage on the upper level.
This application requests to change the allowed uses in the

basement and upper floors. The proposal is to allow a portion
of each of those levels to be used as an extension of the market
g �----- ••
retail unit on the main floor.
+�^
The purpose of a historical use permit is to review proposals to
:.,:,.°°'°°°°
re-establish historical uses for compatibility with the single-
-=
family residential neighborhood per MMC 17.56A. The
t '"i-?- ----
ordinance prescribes that historical use permit applications

Historic Use Permit — Modifications to Accessory uses
Narrative of proposed modifications:
Proposal: To convert portions of the Basement and Upper Level for expanded use by
the Store. The total area of modification is 2,016 sq. ft. If approved, a set of internal
stairway will be constructed (under separate permit application) within the Store
connecting the 3 levels. The additional floor area will permit display of expanded
product selections. See attached Drawings.
Current Permitted Use: With the exception of the modifications listed above, all
current uses will remain unchanged. See attached Historic Use Summary.
Personnel: No additional employees are planned. Since the market serves the local
community, the additional floor space will hopefully generate nominal customer traffic by
providing wider selections of product and services.
Parking: There are currently 2 on -site parking stalls and 14 street parking stalls. We
propose to convert the 2 on -site stalls for tandem parking, whereby increase the total
parking count by 2. Since this is a neighborhood Market, a lot of the patrons may walk
to the Store. We expect some patrons to park at the Post Office and do business at the
Post Office and the Store at the same time.
Site Improvements: Other than those approved and permitted under the current
building permit, none are planned or anticipated.

CITY OF MEDINA
RESOLUTION NO.302
APPROVING HISTORICAL USE PERMIT NO. 2003-01, MEDINA
STORE, AND ASSOCIATED VARIANCES
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MEDINA RESOLVES AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Authority.
City of Medina Ordinance No. 761 authorizes the City to review and to approve or deny
proposals to establish historical uses in the R-16 Zone, subject to the procedures and
according to the criteria set forth in that Ordinance. Medina Municipal Code § 14.04.060
permits consolidation of the review of two or more project permit applications and
§ 14.04.090 Medina Municipal Code establishes that the Medina City Council will make
the final decision on all combined applications.
SECTION 2. Recitals.
(A) The City of Medina received an application, referred to as Historical Use Permit
No. 1 ("HUP No. I"), to re-establish the Medina Store at the northeast corner of
Evergreen Point Road and NE 8th Street in the City of Medina and to authorize four
variances to the Bulk Regulations that would normally apply to development of this
property.
(B) On September 23, 2003, the City's planning consultant, Joseph Gellings, AICP,
prepared and issued a Planning Report analyzing HUP No. 1 (the "Planning Report").
(C) The City received many written comments from individuals concerning
HUP No. 1. Those comments have been available for review by members of the public
and by City employees and officials in the City file pertaining to HUP No. 1.
(D) On October 7, November 4, and December 2, 2003, the Planning Commission
held open record public hearings at which it heard testimony concerning HUP No. 1.
(E) Following the close of the public hearing, the Planning Commission considered
its action with respect to HUP No. 1 and issued a recommendation (the
"Recommendation") for action on HUP No. 1 to the City Council.
(F) On December 8, 2003, the City Council of Medina held a public hearing to
consider final action on HUP No. 1.
Resolution 302 page I
RES302.doc 12/19/03
SECTION 3. Findings of Fact.
(A) The City Council accepts and adopts by this reference the factual statements set
forth in the following sections of the September 23, 2003 Planning Report: Permit
Request, Zoning Code, Subject Property, Existing Conditions, Proposal, and Findings of
Fact and as modified by the October 28, 2003 Planning Report Update.
(B) The following issues related to the criteria established in Ordinance No. 761 for
the review of a Historical Use Permit were raised in the written comments and oral
testimony expressing concerns about re-establishing operations at the Medina Store,
opposing the issuance of HUP No. 1, or both: the use of each floor in the building,
seating, hours, traffic, parking, odors, deliveries, after hours activities, exterior signage,
lighting, noise, landscaping, setbacks, lot coverage, and pedestrian safety.
SECTION 4. Conclusions.
(A) HUP No. 1 would authorize the construction of a minor new commercial use
under 4,000 square feet in size. As such, the proposal is categorically exempt from the
requirements for environmental review under the State Environmental Policy Act
("SEPA"), RCW ch. 43.21C.
(B) City Staff, the Medina Planning Commission, and the Medina City Council have
carefully considered the impacts of establishing and operating the Medina Store as would
be authorized by HUP No. 1. That use, subject to the conditions set forth in § 4(D)
below, will not have a materially detrimental effect on neighboring properties; will not
result in or produce excessive noise, odors or impacts from lighting; and will not
materially interfere with the peaceful use and possession of neighboring properties.
(C) The conditions set forth in § 4(D) below, would minimize the adverse impacts of
the use that would be authorized by HUP No. 1 on neighboring properties.
(D) HUP No. 1 shall be subject to the conditions set forth below. These conditions
shall be incorporated in a concomitant land use agreement, reviewed and approved by the
City Attorney prior the issuance of a building permit for the improvement authorized by
HUP No. 1.
Uses
Use of the property shall be limited to a neighborhood market that caters to the
Medina community. The applicant's October 28, 2003 description of this
neighborhood market use including dry cleaning pick-up and laundry pick-up
service shall be adhered to with the following two exceptions: use of the basement
shall be restricted to mechanical equipment, bookkeeping and storage that
supports the market use occupying the first floor, and use of the second floor shall
be limited to bookkeeping and storage in support of the market use as well as
storage space leased to a single outside party only requiring infrequent access to
the storage area.
Resolution 302 page 2
RES302.doc 12/19/03
Seating
Total interior public seating shall be limited to six seats. Total exterior public
seating shall be limited to 10 seats maximum and shall be restricted to within 40
feet of the Evergreen Point Road property line.
Hours
Business hours shall be set within the following allowances: 7 am to 7 pm
Monday through Friday, 8 am to 7 pm on Saturday, 10 am to 5 pm on Sundays,
and closed on all holidays. For purposes of this section, holidays are defined as
all State of Washington holidays.
Traffic
The traffic issue is not restricted directly but is restricted through public seating
and maximum parking restrictions.
Parking
Provided parking shall include two designated employee spaces as represented in
the site plan and a maximum number of customer parking spaces that does not
exceed the number presently on the site as determined by the Public Works
Director. In addition, re-established parking spaces shall not extend outside of the
area presently devoted to parking. All store employees shall park only in spaces
designated as store or employee parking. The final configuration of parking shall
be approved by the Public Works Director through the right-of-way use permit.
General-purpose parking spaces are to be on -street. The Director shall strive for
parking stall widths of at least nine feet. There shall be a minimum of one ADA
parking space. All on -street general-purpose store parking shall be limited to 30
minutes.
Cooking
The applicant's October 28, 2003 proposal to limit cooking activities such that no
exterior odors are produced shall be adhered to. No commercial grill shall be
allowed. In addition, the applicant shall not conduct any cooking or baking
operations that produce grease -laden vapors or otherwise require a Class 1 vent
hood per the Uniform Mechanical Code.
Deliveries
Prior to issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall submit a loading and
delivery plan for approval by the Planning Department. Delivery times shall be
confined to the Monday through Saturday business hours. Deliveries are not
permitted on Sundays except for newspapers. Delivery vehicles shall not cross
sidewalks in accessing the site.
After Hours Activities
Exterior automatic teller machines, vending machines, payphones, newspaper
boxes as well as all external self serve mechanical or electronic devices shall not
be permitted.
Resolution 302 page 3
RES302.doc 12/19/03
Garbage
The landscaping plan and the design of all trash and recycling receptacles shall
minimize susceptibility to rodent and bird infestation. Routine trash and recycling
pick-up shall involve hand -carting the receptacles to the pick-up vehicle at
Evergreen Point Road. The applicant shall consult with a pest control
professional and, if an infestation problem is found in the existing building, shall
take extermination measures prior to building demolition.
Exterior Signage
Prior to issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall submit a signage plan
for approval by the Planning Department. The signage shall be oriented to
pedestrians and slow -moving traffic. No direct or indirect illuminated signs will
be permitted.
Lighting
Prior to issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall submit an outdoor
lighting plan for approval by the Building and Planning Departments. The overall
level of site illumination shall be similar to that of a normal single-family
residence. All light fixtures shall be shielded to prevent visible glare from
abutting properties.
Landscaping and Noise / Visual Impact Buffers
A landscape plan shall be submitted for City Landscape Consultant approval. The
Landscape Consultant's approval shall include whether vegetation adequately
softens the appearance of the east masonry wall as viewed from neighboring
properties. The Landscape Consultant shall consider the desires and preferences
of neighbors. The applicant's final design of the east masonry wall shall use the
eight -foot height variance granted in conjunction with this historical use permit to
have adequate height and siting to block noise and visual impacts to the east. All
significant trees on the site shall be retained.
Pedestrian Facilities
The final configuration of pedestrian facilities shall be approved by the Public
Works Director through the right-of-way use permit. The Director shall consider
safety and aesthetics in the transitions of walkways to adjacent properties.
Restrictions on Changes of Use After H.U.P. Approval
Changes of use are not permitted without a new Conditional Use Permit or
Historical Use Permit. Approval of this Historical Use Permit does not guarantee
the approval of a permit for another use. The review of future applications shall
be limited to the applicable review criteria and not include circumstances specific
to the applicant.
Resolution 302 page 4
RES302.doc 12/19/03
Review of Final Architectural Plans
Prior to the issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall submit architectural
elevation drawings for review and approval by the Planning Department and
Planning Commissioner Mark Nelson. The purpose of this review shall be to
ensure that the final plans for the new building meets the applicant's stated
objective of replicating the historic character of the existing buildings. The
elevations shall specify the proposed color scheme for the building. The scope of
this review may include any character -defining attributes such as color scheme,
volume, scale, and massing as well as the detailing of windows, doors, cornices,
entry covers, and awnings.
(E) Granting HUP No. 1, as applied for and subject to the conditions set forth in
§ 4(D) above, would be consistent with and would give effect to the City's
Comprehensive Plan, which states:
It is important to the community that facilities such as the post office and
the Medina Grocery be retained because of their functional and historic
contribution to the City. The historical character of these buildings and
appropriate uses should be retained for future generations..
(F) Modified versions of the variances consolidated with the review of HUP No. 1 are
necessary to allow for operation of the historic use, and to minimize the impacts of the
historic use on adjacent properties. This necessary set of variances is as follows:
1. A variance to reduce the required structural setback from the NE Bch Street
property line from 20 feet to 7 feet.
2. A variance to reduce the required structural setback from the Evergreen Point
Road property line from 25 feet to 8 feet.
3. A variance for a total structural coverage no greater than the existing structural
coverage as certified by a licensed surveyor. This variance is approved with the
following conditions:

Medina City Council
501 Evergreen Point Road
Medina, Wash.
Council members, as you make your decision on granting additional uses to Hae Lee at
the Medina store location, be advised of the already detrimental effect on the nearest
neighbor's property at 7616 N. E. 8 b St.
On April 20, 2006, the contractor for Hae Lee advised me of the necessity to destroy a
portion of the aggregate driveway; the removal of asphalt and burm at the end of the
driveway; the digging up of the parking strip in front of the property to accommodate
piping from the store location into the French/storm drain located to the right of the
driveway. I was assured by her contractor, Deron Hewitt, that the driveway would be
replaced ASAP. This was conveyed to me in a note written by Dave Miller of Deron
Hewitt construction!
To date, NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE! There have been empty promises from the
contractor and meaningless apologies from the owner of the store property. The
sidewalks to be constructed on the North side of N. E. 8 h are in the near future. It is my
understanding that a contractor has been chosen for the sidewalk construction.
In April of this year, I had no reason to believe that Hae Lee and her contractor would not
keep their word. I am sorely disappointed!. I have been annoyed and inconvenienced for
months.
Sincerely,
.Gc/t
ackI is
7616 N. E. 80' St.
Medina, Wash.
