Stay tuned - Strom's pants could catch fire.




Edmonds Beacon 10/15/2009


STROM PETERSON responds, (“What is truly spooky is the attempt to TRICK Edmonds citizens into becoming zombie voters by telling ghost stories. The TREAT is that Edmonds residents are too smart to fall for these tall tales.”)

STROM PETERSON blatantly ignores the truth. (His fear-mongering Press Release has been deleted.)

"Peterson agrees, saying, “Building heights is not the issue in downtown Edmonds.
Having vacant storefronts is the issue. Edmonds is known and treasured for its character,
and I have always expressed my commitment to maintaining Edmonds small-town charm.”

Building heights in the Downtown is a CURRENT ISSUE. Two examples: 523 Alder St and 190 Sunset Ave S. Click on the addresses for detailed information. First address is a 35ft tall single family residence. Second address is the Old Safeway/Antique Mall property, west of the Ferry loading lanes. In previous campaigns, Mr Peterson accepted thousands of dollars from Albert Dykes and ESC Associates, owner of this parcel and applicant for the rezone requesting a zoning change from a 25 ft building height limit to 75 ft building height limit. <- click here for a newspaper article.

Mr. Peterson's record favors changing our current Business Commerical District Zone. At every opportunity, Mr. Peterson advocated taller buildings for more $500,000 to $1 million Condos claiming Economic Development!

EMAIL TO COUNCIL PRESIDENT

Dear D.J., If you get a chance, I would appreciate your sharing the attached PowerPoint with the Citizens Committee. This information provides evidence, beyond any reasonable doubt, that the City of Edmonds has been providing Fire and Emergency Medical Services for less than the cost of service to the unincorporated Esperance and Fire District No. 1. I'm hoping the group will truly look to Budget before focusing on just the taxpayer's pocketbook. The question I ask you; Is the newly created EMS Transport fee required for the subsidization of the two interlocal agreements with Esperance and Woodway ? The council, mayor and staff have not done proper due diligence of the current and passed city financial decisions to start requesting more and new taxes from the citizens. Fire District No. 1 collects tax revenue 1 million City of Edmonds charges 300,000 for service. City of Edmonds makes annual payment for Station No. 10 to Fire District No. 1 65,000. City of Ed

Lighthouse Law Group's inferior legal representation

 Email to Jeff Taraday  PROVIDED FOR THE RECORD:   In Washington State there can be only one open public hearing.   The Hearing Examiner had 10 working days to make a decision. Any extension of that time requirement requires agreement from the applicant and the parties. Uniquely, the Edmonds City Code requires agreement from all parties. I testified at the hearing and was not asked to participate in this extension or provide any further testimony. In fact, my participation has been excluded because of the one open meeting. If there have been communications between the Hearing Examiner and the Applicant those communication would  be ex parte and needed to be provided to me.    Mr. Clugston testified that traditionally the Planning Staff posts the Agenda and Staff report at the Civic Center and Library. Then he stated that ECC 1.03.09 didn’t apply that was for City Council hearings. He stated the Agenda was posted on the City’s website 7 or 6 days prior to hearing. The City C
