He noted that some of the links are complete already; there have been bicycle lanes installed however, they are not continuous and the Board's recommendation is to make them continuous. Mr. Haufmann said this would primarily be a painting project but in the area of the Green River Bridge there is some road deterioration that should be addressed as well. Mr. Haufrnann presented the Committee with a graph showing road deterioration or limited access to the bridge. In response to Judy Woods, Mr. Haufinann said there would be enough width for a bike lane without the sidewalk. The distance from the white line to the edge of the bridge is wide enough but it has been split in half by a foot high curb in the pedestrian sidewalk on the outside edge of the bridge, which leaves a distance of two feet for bicycles. Wickstrom said that in our time frame we will add additional lanes on that bridge. He said we actually will be adding a parallel bridge for the eastbound traffic and at that time we will add a bike lane to the bridge. However, he noted this is all subject to getting a grant and is schedule for the latter part of our 6 Year Plan. He noted that this is a three lane facility pushing 28,000 vehicles per day and this is why it has been rated high by the State for potential grants Wickstrom commented that the graphs submitted by the Board were well done and Public Works will continue to review the situation to determine what can and can't be done. TTB Project Audit Wickstrom said that the Transportation Improvement Board has completed their audit of past Grant Funded City projects. There are three projects identified that we have received grant funds for which particular items were not eligible. One was the 240th St. project from 104th Ave. to 116th Ave. which we had carried on the books for several years knowing that these particular costs were not eligible. Wickstrom said we finally closed out the fund and decided to wait until we were billed, at which time we would clean this up. Wickstrom explained that the other two projects were West Valley Highway Improvement from James to S. 212th; we exceeded the 3% limit on landscaping. The other project was Willis St from Central to 4th Avenue; we overlayed the entire street and had billed 1 L them for work that was prior to their authorization. Wickstrom said we would like to establish an Audit Reimbursement fund, transfer funds from our East Valley Highway project and then pay them all back at one time. Committee unanimously recommended establishing an Audit Reimbursement fund and the transfer of$33,091.07 from the East Valley Highway (R68) fund into same. Authorizine Charge in Lieu of Assessment per S. 274th St Sewer Extension Wickstrom explained that some time ago a resident in the vicinity of S. 274th St, west of 124th Ave. had a failed septic system and we authorized extending the sewer line to service that area (Derbyshire) in the new Meridian Annexation area at 124th, south of Kent Kangley. It would have cost the resident $30,000 to connect to sewer which would have been some sort of pump system . He said we extended the sewer line and have it under contract now and this charge in lieu of assessment establishes the means by which we can collect our money back as residents connect to the line. ($10,000 per resident) Committee unanimously recommended authorizing establishing said charge-in-lieu of assessment. S E 248th Street Sewer Extension and Authorization of Charge in Lieu of Assessment Wickstrom stated that as with the Derbyshire extension, we have a similar problem on SE 248th St. west of Benson Highway with a resident having a failed septic system. We had incorporated the sewer extension into a contract we recently released but there wasn't enough money in the Miscellaneous Sewer Fund to do the extension at that time. He said the resident still has a problem. He stated there is sewer to the property at the westerly property line but our concerns are properties to the east. We require a mainline extension to the east property line and then the next property owner would extend it further. Wickstrom said that it would cost the resident $30,000 and we are proposing to do the extension next year when we re-budget more funds in that particular budget item. However, the property owner needs to connect now and as such, we have allowed them to temporarily connect to the end sewer line and they will pay us the equivalent charges ($10,000). Committee unanimously recommended authorizing the sewer extension and associated charge in lieu of assessment for same. In response to Tim Clark, Wickstrom said that all the residents have been contacted regarding this and they know what the costs are. 6 Year Transportation Improvement Plan Wickstrom said that we are behind schedule on having this plan adopted because of our workload and at this time we are asking for authorization to establish a hearing date for September 3rd where Council will have the entire Plan. He noted that this is not the financially balanced Plan, that is the Capital Facilities Plan. He said this is a combination of that and a "wish list" and also shows all of the railroad crossings. DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS August 7, 1996 TO: Public Works Committee FROM: Don Wickstrorj ) RE: TIB Project Audit The Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) has completed its audit of past TIB Grant Funded City projects (letter attached). Three projects, 240th St. Improvement [104th Ave to 116th Ave], West Valley Highway Improvement [James St to 228th St] and Willis Street Improvement [Central Ave to 4th Ave] were noted as having audit exceptions. As such, the City owes TIB a tots] of 533,091.07. Of that amount, we were aware of $23,058.22 pertaining to the 240th Street project. However, at the time TIB didn't want reimbursement until they completed their audit. After four years of carrying said project on the books, we decided to close out the .fund and wait until TIB billed us. In fact, all these projects and their funds have long since been closed out. The $3,319.33 per the West Valley Highway project relates to our getting reimbursed for costs that exceeded TIB's 3% eligible cost limit for landscaping. The $6,713.52 per the Willis Street project relates to our getting reimbursed for costs that preceded their project approval date. To refund TIB for said monies, we are requesting that an audit reimbursement fund be established and that $33,091.07 be transferred from the remaining monies in the East Valley Highway Project fund (R68). ACTION: Authorize establishing an Audit Reimbursement fund and the transfer of 533,091.07 from the East Valley Highway (R68) fund into same.

The basis therefore was the City would get reimbursed for the costs upon the abutting property connecting to same. The contract to do the work was recently awarded. In order for the City to get reimbursed, Council needs to authorize the charge-in-lieu of assessment. The attached map reflects the affected properties and the respective charges. (a$10,000 per connection). It is the Public Works Department's recommendation that said charge- in-lieu of assessment be authorized. ACTION: Authorize establishing said Charge-in-Lieu of Assessment.

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS August 7, 1996 TO: Public Works Committee FROM: Don Wickstrom .�,D- RE: S.E. 248th Street Sewer Extension and, Authorization of a Charge in Lieu of Assessment In a similar situation of the residence on 274th Street west of 124th Avenue, whose septic system has failed, a residence at 10204 S.E. 248th Street septic system has also failed. While sewer is westerly of his property line, to connect to same would require that the sewer main be extended along his entire property frontage on S. 248th Street in order to potentially service properties easterly thereof. For the resident to do same, it was estimated to cost $30,000.00. To assist hire, we proposed to extend said main to service him at the adjacent easterly properties. Ho\vever, due to budget constraints, we proposed doing this work next year. . In the interim, we would allow him to connect to the existing sewer without extending it, subject however to his paying the estimated charge-in-lieu of assessment. Said estimated charge is $10,000. As such we recommend Council authorize the sewer extension and associated charge-in-lieu of assessment as reflected on the attached map.

He said this is a combination of that and a "wish list" and also shows all of the railroad crossings. 2 Committee unanimously recommended that Sept 3rd be set for the public hearing on the City's 6 Year Transportation Improvement Plan. In response to Tim Clark, Wickstrom explained that this is essentially the Plan in last year's program; we had to delete some projects due to financial limits. However some needed to be added due to the new issues related to the additional rail traffic in the area. It is the same Plan previously presented and is based on the Comp Plan that was developed plus, the Meridian Annexation. Russell Road Street Vacation Funds Wickstrom said that the Lakes Development had requested a vacation of Russell Road from Lakeside Boulevard West to S. 228th Street. We had valued that vacation to be approximately $20,000. Wickstrom requested placing that money into the School Pedestrian Walkway Fund (R36) so we can continue to address the school pedestrian facilities issues.

Tom explained the approximate location of the Corridor project and noted that we are moving forward on the bridge design portion of this project as well as the general roadway design. In order to construct this road, we need to purchase some additional right of way affecting various property owners. He said we have been negotiating with most of the affected property owners and we have been able to enter into purchase agreements for most of the parcels however, some we have not. Brubaker stated that we hope to be able to come to an agreement on these parcels. He said that we need the authority and leverage to commence condemnation proceedings if necessary. Committee unanimously recommended that the City Attorney prepare a condemnation ordinance for those properties, where an amicable agreement cannot be reached between the City and specific property owners along the 196th Corridor project. Resolution for the Regional Transit Authority (Tom Brubaker) Brubaker has received a request from the Mayor's office that this Committee consider approval of a resolution that generically endorses the upcoming RTA issue in the Fall election. He noted that we had passed a similar resolution about a year ago and this would simply up-date that resolution for this next election. Committee unanimously recommended authorizing the City Attorney to prepare a resolution endorsing the RTA issue in the Fall election. 3 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS August 7, 1996 TO: Public Works Com�mlit�e FROM: Don Wickstrom 4�� RE: 6 Year Transportation Improvement Plan Every year the City is required to update its 6 Year Transportation Improvement Plan.

In response to Tim Clark, Wickstrom explained that this is essentially the Plan in last year's program; we had to delete some projects due to financial limits. However some needed to be added due to the new issues related to the additional rail traffic in the area. It is the same Plan previously presented and is based on the Comp Plan that was developed plus, the Meridian Annexation. Russell Road Street Vacation Funds Wickstrom said that the Lakes Development had requested a vacation of Russell Road from Lakeside Boulevard West to S. 228th Street. We had valued that vacation to be approximately $20,000.

Tom explained the approximate location of the Corridor project and noted that we are moving forward on the bridge design portion of this project as well as the general roadway design. In order to construct this road, we need to purchase some additional right of way affecting various property owners. He said we have been negotiating with most of the affected property owners and we have been able to enter into purchase agreements for most of the parcels however, some we have not. Brubaker stated that we hope to be able to come to an agreement on these parcels. He said that we need the authority and leverage to commence condemnation proceedings if necessary. Committee unanimously recommended that the City Attorney prepare a condemnation ordinance for those properties, where an amicable agreement cannot be reached between the City and specific property owners along the 196th Corridor project.

Harris) Planning Director Jim Harris explained that Federal Way had recently revised their zoning code in order to get a better handle on junk. Mr. Harris reviewed the pertinent code sections from Washington state, Kent and Federal Way. He states that Kent's code is more comprehensive referring to section 8.01 as an example of Kent's detail. Mr. Harris indicated that the state has the ability to remove an "abandoned junk vehicle" after 1; du}s whereas Kent processes violations through the Hearing Examiner with an unspecific timeframe. Assistant City Attorney Tom Brubaker stated that the Kent's code was in compliance with the state's statutes at the time the code was written. However. the State has since relaxed the standard for defining a "junk vehicle." The state also eliminated the requirement that a vehicle had to be without a valid, current registration plate in order to be considered a "-junk vehicle." Code Enforcement Officer Brian Swanberg explained the current process for identifying and enforcing the City's code involving "junk vehicles." Swanberg stated that Kent's code does not include a definition for "inoperable" vehicles. He also identified a need to add additional verbiage to Kent's code to address issues involving commercial vehicles parked in residential areas,residential tractor trailer parked in yards, and how long an inoperable vehicle can be stored. Comparison of Kent's Junk and Junk Vehicle Regulations with Federal Way and Washington State 2201th AVE SO.. /KENT-WASHIVGTON 98032-5895 1 TELEPHONE (''06)859-31001 FAX#859-3334 City Council Planning Committee Minutes July 16, 1996 Page 2 Mr. Paul Mann (former City Council member) encouraged the Committee to consider this issue and recommend an amendment to bring Kent's code in compliance with the state regulations, as well as, consider the language used in the Federal Way Ordinance. Mr. Mann also voiced his concern regarding the clarity for the penalty invoked. Chair Leona Orr questioned whether the City had the ability to actually confiscate these vehicles if a problem arises. Swanberg explained that there could be an issue regarding inadequate staff to comply with a shorter resolution. Mr. Harris questioned whether this issue should be brought before the City Council Safety Committee. Ms. Orr indicated that she would bring this item to their attention at the next safety meeting. Mr. Brubaker stated that under the State law the City has the right to impose the cost of reclaiming the vehicle or towing the vehicle and storing or destroying it against either the registered owner or the private property land owner that the vehicle was discovered or removed from. He explained that this is not always possible when the violator doesn't have the means to pay. Chair Leona Orr requested that the planning staff get the appropriate departments involved in this issue and put together a proposal. She asked for the proposal to include recommended changes to the code, any budgetary figures for any costs that would be incurred, and any recommendation for additional staff to enforce the code changes. Harris pointed out that the subject would be brought back, at least for the begining of action, on the 20th of August. ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned at 4:20 p.m. C:\USERS\DOC\PCOM\MINUTES\PCO0716.MIN Comparison of Kent's Junk and Junk Vehicle Regulations with Federal Way and Washington State PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE August 7, 996 PRESENT: Tim Clark Don Wickstrom Judy Woods Gary Gill Connie Epperly Ed White Tom Brubaker Bicycle Advisory Board Representatives Meeker Street Bridge Bicycle Lane Dave Haufmann of the Bicycle Advisory Board presented a recommendation to complete the bicycle lanes along Meeker Street last month between SR516 and Washington Avenue. He noted that some of the links are complete already; there have been bicycle lanes installed however, they are not continuous and the Board's recommendation is to make them continuous. Mr. Haufmann said this would primarily be a painting project but in the area of the Green River Bridge there is some road deterioration that should be addressed as well. Mr. Haufmann presented the Committee with a graph showing road deterioration or limited access to the bridge. In response to Judy Woods, Mr. Haufinann said there would be enough width for a bike lane without the sidewalk. The distance from the white he to the edge of the bridge is wide enough but it has been split in half by a foot high curb in the pedestrian sidewalk on the outside edge of the bridge, which leaves a distance of two feet for bicycles. Wickstrom said that in our time frame we will add additional lanes on that bridge. He said we actually will be adding a parallel bridge for the eastbound traffic and at that time we will add a bike lane to the bridge. However, he noted this is all subject to getting a grant and is schedule for the latter part of our 6 Year Plan. He noted that this is a three lane facility pushing 28,000 vehicles per day and this is why it has been rated high by the State for potential grants Wickstrom commented that the graphs submitted by the Board were well done and Public Works will continue to review the situation to determine what can and can't be done. TIB Project Audit Wickstrom said that the Transportation Improvement Board has completed their audit of past Grant Funded City projects. There are three projects identified that we have received grant funds for which particular items were not eligible. One was the 240th St project from 104th Ave. to 116th Ave. which we had carried on the books for several years knowing that these particular costs were not eligible. Wickstrom said we finally closed out the fund and decided to wait until we were billed, at which time we would clean this up. Wickstrom explained that the other two projects were West Valley Highway Improvement from James to S. 212th; we exceeded the 3% limit on landscaping. The other project was Willis St from Central to 4th Avenue-, we overlayed the entire street and had billed I them for work that was prior to their authorization. Wickstrom said we would like to establish an Audit Reimbursement fund, transfer funds from our East Valley Highway project and then pay them all back at one time. Committee unanimously recommended establishing an Audit Reimbursement fund and the transfer of$33,091.07 from the East Valley Highway (R68) fund into same. Authorizing Charge in Lieu of Ass 55ment per S 274th St, Sewer Extension Wickstrom explained that some time ago a resident in the vicinity of S. 274th St, west of 124th Ave. had a failed septic system and we authorized extending the sewer he to service that area (Derbyshire) in the new Meridian Annexation area at 124th, south of Kent Kangley. It would have cost the resident $30,000 to connect to sewer which would have been some sort of pump system . He said we extended the sewer line and have it under contract now and this charge in lieu of assessment establishes the means by which we can collect our money back as residents connect to the line. ($10,000 per resident) Committee unanimously recommended authorizing establishing said charge-in-lieu of assessment. S.E. 248th Street Sewer Extension and Authorization of Charge in Lieu of Assessment Wickstrom stated that as with the Derbyshire extension, we have a similar problem on SE 248th St. west of Benson Highway with a resident having a failed septic system. We had incorporated the sewer extension into a contract we recently released but there wasn't enough money in the Miscellaneous Sewer Fund to do the extension at that time. He said the resident still has a problem. He stated there is sewer to the property at the westerly property line but our concerns are properties to the east. We require a mainline extension to the east property line and then the next property owner would extend it further. Wickstrom said that it would cost the resident $30,000 and we are proposing to do the extension next year when we re-budget more funds in that particular budget item. However, the property owner needs to connect now and as such, we have allowed them to temporarily connect to the end sewer line and they will pay us the equivalent charges ($10,000). Comrrrittee unanimously recommended authorizing the sewer extension and associated charge in lieu of assessment for same. In response to Tim Clark, Wickstrom said that all the residents have been contacted regarding this and they know what the costs are. 6 Year Transportation Improvement Plan Wickstrom said that we are behind schedule on having this plan adopted because of our workload and at this time we are asking for authorization to establish a hearing date for September 3rd where Council will have the entire Plan. He noted that this is not the financially balanced Plan, that is the Capital Facilities Plan. He said this is a combination of that and a "wish list" and also shows all of the railroad crossings. 2 Committee unanimously recommended that Sept 3rd be set for the public hearing on the City's 6 Year Transportation Improvement Plan. In response to Tim Clark, Wickstrom explained that this is essentially the Plan in last year's program; we had to delete some projects due to financial limits. However some needed to be added due to the new issues related to the additional rail traffic in the area. It is the same Plan previously presented and is based on the Comp Plan that was developed plus, the Meridian Annexation. Russell Road Street Vacation Funds Wickstrom said that the Lakes Development had requested a vacation of Russell Road from Lakeside Boulevard West to S. 228th Street. We had valued that vacation to be approximately $20,000. Wickstrom requested placing that money into the School Pedestrian Walkway Fund (R36) so we can continue to address the school pedestrian facilities issues Comrnittee unanimously recommended authorizing the monies received from the vacation of Russell Rd. be placed into the School Pedestrian Walkway Fund (R36) ADDED ITEMS: 196th Condemnation Ordinance (Tom Brubaker) Tom requested authority to prepare a condemnation ordinance to allow us to commence condemnation proceedings on those portions of the 196th Corridor between East Valley Highway and West Valley Highway that will need to be condemned. Tom explained the approximate location of the Corridor project and noted that we are moving forward on the bridge design portion of this project as well as the general roadway design. In order to construct this road, we need to purchase some additional right of way affecting various property owners. He said we have been negotiating with most of the affected property owners and we have been able to enter into purchase agreements for most of the parcels however, some we have not. Brubaker stated that we hope to be able to come to an agreement on these parcels. He said that we need the authority and leverage to commence condemnation proceedings if necessary. Committee unanimously recommended that the City Attorney prepare a condemnation ordinance for those properties, where an amicable agreement cannot be reached between the City and specific property owners along the 196th Corridor project. Resolution for the Regional Transit Authority (Tom Brubaker) Brubaker has received a request from the Mayor's office that this Committee consider approval of a resolution that generically endorses the upcoming RTA issue in the Fall election. He noted that we had passed a similar resolution about a year ago and this would simply up-date that resolution for this next election. Committee unanimously recommended authorizing the City Attorney to prepare a resolution endorsing the RTA issue in the Fall election. 3 Clark requested that a representative from the RTA Board make a presentation at the next full Council (August 20th) to explain the RTA issue. 236th & 108th Avenues (Judy Woods) Woods has received citizen concerns regarding tenants in the Arbor Apts. parking their 30' long semi-trucks along 108th and some are parking their "beater" cars along the side street in front of residential homes. Woods stated that the citizen informed her that a petition will be forthcoming to request some kind of Council action to help them preserve the residential nature of their neighborhood. Brubaker stated that he will prepare a draft ordinance for residential parking permits for the Committee's review at the August 21st meeting. He said this may help to alleviate some of the problem. Woods noted that the second issue of concern was public safety since the fence around the Arbor Apts. is down. Clark stated that at the very least we need to see that fence restored. Brubaker stated that the City does not have the authority to enforce an agreement between two private parties which is what this would be. Wickstrom added that this should be brought before the Public Safety Committee since they will be enforcing it. Woods suggested that the appropriate Committee be notified of this public safety issue. "Jake Break" Ordinance (Larry Nelson, West Hill Resident) Mr. Nelson stated that the residents along Military Road have requested that some restrictions be placed on fake breaking (compression breaking) from large trucks. Mr. Nelson said he is specifically concerned with the area from Kent DesMoines Road to Reith Road. Wickstrom noted that both sides of Military Rd., in that vicinity, are not entirely within the city limits. Brubaker said that he is aware of the issue. He said his legal staff has pulled some of the jake break ordinances from other communities; they are not uncommon; they are very straightforward basically stating that "no one can use compression breaking within the city limits except for emergency vehicles." Brubaker stated that at the Committee's requests, he would prepare an ordinance and present it to the Public Safety Committee which is the more appropriate venue for this issue. Mr. Nelson also requested that "No Parking" signs be posted along the west side of Military Rd between 254th and 259th Streets. Meeting adjourned at 4:30 p.m. 4
