CALL TO ORDER
a.) Flag Salute / Roll Call
Mayor Perry called the regular meeting to order at 7:00 p.m.
b.) Approval of Minutes - January 22, 2019
Councilmember Oettel moved to approve the minutes of the January 22, 2019 Council Meeting, seconded by
Councilmember Remy. Motion carried with unanimous approval. 5-0.
AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION
a.) Leslie Gesner, 411 E. Main St., inquired when we will start moving on Ramstead Park? She had heard the
Community Garden is going to be located at the Ramstead Park Property and is excited about that. Dave
Schoonover said it will be going there and will be placed on the east side of the building. The building is going
to be removed.
b.) Shannon Buckley, 407 W. View Place, is a P.E. Teacher at Nooksack Middle School and also coaches cross
country. She would like to see more connected trails and trails with low impact on joints. The trails in
Bellingham have gravel on them. The middle school and high school kids would use the trails to "get healthy"
and possibly use trails as a safe route to bike/walk to school. Having a larger trail system could bring business
to local businesses from people coming to use the trails. Mayor Perry responded we put an application in with
the state via Doug Erickson and Luane Van Werven last week for capital projects. There is a possibility to obtain
some state funding for these projects. We put in for $1 million for Phase I of a stormwater facility at Ramstead
Park and $500,000 for the design and construction of trails/bathrooms at Ramstead Park. Currently, we are
working with a Landscape Design Architect. The trail will be the easiest to begin regardless of additional
funding. There are other grant options we can look into as well. Dave Schoonover said public works will
continue mowing current trail at Ramstead Park. It might be difficult to connect the trail at Ramstead Park to
the Nooksack Middle School property as the property between the two is owned privately and in the county.
COMMITTEE REPORT
a.) Finance Committee
Councilmember Lautenbach gave the Finance Committee Report. They reviewed bank reconciliations for
December and January and there were no discrepancies. They discussed reinvestment options for our Bond
that is maturing February 15, 2019. The decision was made to reinvest bond for 2 years yielding 2.45% interest.

CITY OF EVERSON
PLANNING DEPARTMENT
Rollin Harper, City Planner
MEMO
DATE: February 21, 2019
TO: Everson City Council
FROM: Rollin Harper, City Planner
RE: Turner Minor Plat Amendment Request
Request
On January 31, 2019, the City received a letter-style request from Richard and Katie Turner for a
minor plat amendment to remove, in part, a restriction on access to their undeveloped property
(816 Sisters Court) from Mead Avenue. The subject property is legally described as Lot 7A of
the Nooksack Trail Development Lot Line Adjustment.
Background
In 2017, the City Council granted final plat approval for the Nooksack Trail Development
(subdivision). As some Council members may recall, the original design of the Nooksack Trail
Development included buildable areas outside of the 100-year floodplain within all lots, thereby
minimizing impacts within the floodplain and avoiding the need for additional assessment and
mitigation under the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA). Through the plat approval process,
the City established a restriction on access from Mead Avenue to those portions of lots in the
floodplain so that all such access would be through Sisters Court consistent with the design of
the plat. See attached lot line adjustment map that includes vehicular access prohibition markings
along Mead Avenue and the following statement: “NO VEHICULAR ACCESS TO LOTS
FROM MEAD AVE.”
Due to an unforeseen need for modifications to the plat’s stormwater treatment facilities, much
of the buildable area within the original Lot 7 became unavailable. As a result, the developer
completed a lot line adjustment that resulted in a modified Lot 7A that could still be accessed
from Sisters Court, but which would very likely require the new home site to be partially within
the 100-year floodplain, thereby adding the need for further ESA-related impact and assessment
prior to any new construction.
Page 4 of 41
More recently, the Turners purchased their undeveloped residential property within the
Nooksack Trail Development with full understanding regarding the need for additional review
prior to construction. Although the property has substantial frontage on Mead Avenue, the
property was originally assigned the address of 816 Sisters Court because primary access to the
future home site was intended to be by way of an easement running to the north and east of the
Sisters Court cul-de-sac. The Turners have now come to the conclusion that it makes better sense
for them to access their future building site directly from Mead Avenue rather than coming the
long way around through Sisters Court. However, the access restriction included on the initial
plat and carried forward with the recent lot line adjustment prohibits such access.
Analysis
Section 18.01.070 EMC does provide a pathway for the City Council to approve minor plat
amendments under certain circumstances. Given the fact that, regardless of the routs of access,
development of Lot 7A will require building within the 100-year floodplain and will require
additional ESA-related review, it would be more efficient and less expensive to access the future
building site directly from Mead Avenue. To allow such access, the City Council would need to
pass a motion approving the Turners’ request for a minor plat amendment to remove the access
restriction along a portion of Mead Avenue. If the minor plat amendment is approved, then the
Turners would work with their surveyor to prepare an amended lot line adjustment that would
eliminate a portion of the access restriction markings and adjust the content and location of any
related text. Recording of the amended lot line adjustment with the County Auditor would
formally modify the access restriction and allow limited access to this property from Mead
Avenue.
Recommendation
The staff recommendation is for the City Council to approve the Turners’ request by passing a
motion, such as: To approve the Turner minor plat amendment and remove the restriction on
access to 816 Sisters Court from Mead Avenue to the least extent necessary to allow direct
access to the designated future building site. It may also be appropriate for the City to assign the
property a new address on Mead Avenue rather than the current address on Sisters Court.

Re: 816 Sisters Court —
Nooksack Trail lot 7a
Dear Mr. Schoonover,
We are writing to request that the plat of Nooksack Trail Development be amended to remove the
requirement that all lots access through Sister court with their driveways.
We acknowledge that with the original plat, lot 7 had be 50% out of the flood plain and access to the
north driveway easement off Sister Court was in the best interest ofthe neighborhood. This was prior
to our purchasing lot 7a. 7a runs along Mead Ave to Nolte, instead of along lots 8 and 9. Please see the
original plat drawing attached and the amended plat attached.
We have enclosed our drawings of the lot and where we would like to place the shop at and the future
house site. Our current plan is to build a shop for our personal use and when the property is removed
from the flood plain per the FEMA maps that are pending approval, we may eventually build a house on
there as well. The map shows our plan ofa future house site just north ofthe shop.
This is a much shorter driveway and we would not need to place as much nonpervious surface in the
neighborhood. We also feel this will allow for easier ?re access in the event of an emergency. The lay
out of the lot fits this design much better than if we must work around the current driveway restrictions.
We would be willing to put sidewalks in from the driveway access onto Mead Ave south to Sisters Ct if or
when a house is to be built on the property, and the property is no longer in the flood plain.
If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to Rich at 360- 201 —
3191.
Sincerely,
Richard & Kati Turner

Community Policing & Crime Prevention
In 2018, The Everson Police Department was involved in several different
aspects of public education and crime prevention in Everson, Nooksack and
the City of Lynden. In 2018, the Everson Police Department received
requests for educational talks, crime prevention talks and community safety
presentations.
Public talks and information dissemination covered several topics including,
but not limited to: Home Security, Stranger Danger, Internet Safety and
Awareness and Reporting Practices. We continue to share information and
inform the public through the City of Everson Newsletter.
The Everson Police Department has maintained a great working relationship
with our communities.
In 2018, the Department was awarded grant funds from different sources.
These funds were used to purchase equipment, and there was also money
secured for overtime expenses and training.
By seeking out and pursuing grant funding, we have been able to keep up
with the ever changing and increased demands on public safety.

Everson Police Department Reserve Program
The Everson Police Department’s Reserve Officer Program was an invaluable asset to the Cities of
Everson and Nooksack in 2018. The program is comprised of two sworn and commissioned Reserve
Officers, who aid the department in several ways.
The Washington Administrative Code defines Reserve Officers in the following manner:
"Reserve peace officer” … means any officer who does not serve as a law enforcement officer of
this state on a full-time basis, but who, when called by such agency into active service, is fully
commissioned on the same basis as full-time officers to enforce the criminal laws of this state.
Everson’s reserve officers work on an unpaid, volunteer basis. In 2018, Officers Smit and Sterk served
the cities of Everson and Nooksack on countless shifts, serving when coverage was thin, or as special
needs arose. Officers Smit and Sterk aided full-time officers during calls for service, and participated in
proactive policing on a wide variety of incidents, including, but not limited to: traffic stops, domestic
violence incidents, drug crimes, warrant arrests, property crimes, checks of welfare, security checks,
suspicious circumstances, extra patrol, specialized details, and more.
In 2018, Officers Smit and Sterk combined for a total of over 600 hours of volunteer service, as well as
100 hours of training.
The Everson Police Department is tremendously grateful for the service Officers Smit and Sterk
provided, shift after shift, week in and week out, throughout this past year. Simply put, the department
would not have been able to provide the same level of service to the communities of Everson and
Nooksack without their efforts.
For 2019, it is the department’s hope that it can continue to rely on the exceptional dedication to
community, pride of service, and donation of time, our volunteer Reserve Officers have provided in the
past.
