Public Works Committee Minutes 3
May .18, 2015
Item 1 - Call to Order: The meeting was called to order at 4:04 p.m. by Committee Chair,
Dennis Higgins.
Item 2 - Roll Call: Committee members present: Higgins, Ralph and Fincher.
Item 3 - Changes to the Agenda: None
Item 4 - Approval of Meeting Minutes Dated May 4, 2015:
Committee member Finch MOVED to approve the minutes of May 4, 2015. The
motion was SECONDED by Committee member Ralph and PASSED 3-0.
Item 5 -Information Only/PSRC South 2121h St/BNSF Grade Separation Grant
Funding:
Senior Transportation Planner, Monica Whitman noted that the City was awarded a
$2,000,000 grant for Preliminary Engineering for the S 2121h St/BNSF Railroad Grade
Separation project as part of the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) 2014 Surface
Transportation Program (STP) project selection process. At that time the City was considering
forming a Local Improvement District (LID) to partially fund three key railroad grade
separation projects including S 2121h St/BNSF. The City gathered comments from property
owners at two different open houses and found that there was little support for an LID. As a
result, the City is no longer in a position to move forward with the project at this time. If the
funding situation changes in the future, the City may reapply for regional grant funding.
PSRC funds may be returned on a voluntary basis due to extenuating circumstances, there is
no penalty for returning funds prior to the obligation deadline, which is June 1, 2015 in this
case. Agencies voluntarily returning funds are asked to provide PSRC with a letter or a
memorandum signed by a responsible official requesting the return.
Status of Federal Grants - return funds; recommendation is to turn the money back in, all
concur. Councilmember Higgins agreed that a letter needs to be drafted to the PSRC with the
request and to thank them for the grant and the significant regional impact needs/help in
getting this moving forward in the future. Councilmember Ralph stated that not that it makes
it easier or better, the reality is its extremely difficult to turn money back but others are in
the same position. Councilmember Fincher expressed a Thank you to all staff for the
assistance.
Information Only/No Motion Required
Item 6 - Information Only/Draft Six Year Transportation Improvement Program:
Senior Transportation Planner, Monica Whitman noted that tonight is for information only but
she will be back in front of the committee in the next two weeks. This is a 6 year planning
document and a short range planning tool to assist local jurisdictions in that planning. The
Draft 2016-2021 Six Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) represents the City's
proposed transportation improvement work program for the next six years. It includes street,
bicycle, pedestrian, traffic signal, and transit improvements planning studies and street
maintenance and preservation projects. State law requires that each city develop a local TIP
and that it be updated annually (RCW 35.77.010). Public Works staff will be presenting the
ways in which b the 2016-2021 Six Year TIP differs from the 2015-2020 TIP, which was
adopted in June of 2015.
1
Public Works Committee Minutes 4
May .18, 2015
The TIP can be amended monthly and updated annually. This is a key communication piece
for the public and the Mayor. The TIP must be consistent with the Comprehensive plan. There
are 23 projects total in the plan and 24 that were removed from last year's TIP due to lack of
funding. Safe Routes to School grants have been left in the TIP. Ms. Whitman would like to
work with the chair in weighing Social Justice. Chair Higgins would like to point out that we
are not Bellevue or Kirkland and that matching funds is more difficult for Kent. Director
LaPorte will circle back to the committee with some comments on this after speaking with
Sarah Wood.
Chair Higgins commented that some of the items being dropped are multiyear projects and
Councilmember Ralph is concerned that by dropping the projects we lose a valuable tool to
keep track of projects. Director LaPorte reiterated that the TIP can be amended at any time
to either add or remove projects so it is always able to be adjusted. City Attorney Brubaker
commented that he could work with Public Works to create some sort of "parking lot"
document for these unfunded projects so they do not get forgotten. Councilmember Fincher
commented that it is important the citizens know that these projects are not forgotten. City
Engineer Bieren noted that the Transportation Master Plan has all of these plans identified on
them and essentially works as that "parking lot"document.
Citizen Mel Roberts, 9421 S 241s' St, is the chair of bicycle advisory board commented that
James St is looking good. He will create a list of suggestions for bicycle projects that can
make streets more bicycle friendly and are not very expensive.
Budget Impact: Each project or program within the TIP has a different budget impact as
noted in the narrative.
Information Only/No Motion Required
Item 7 — Information Only/Recycling Event:
Conservation Coordinator, Gina Hungerford noted that the Summer Recycling Event &
Recycled-Content Products Sale is happening on Saturday, June 61h at Kent Phoenix
Academy, 11000 SE 2641h Street, 9am-3pm. Residents are invited to bring items not easily
recycled at the curb, including appliances, mattresses, bulky yard debris & up to 3 boxes of
documents to shred at no charge.
NW Center will be on site to collect reusable household goods, as well as clothing in all shapes
of repair, wearable or not. We will also have Composters, Worm Bins & Rain barrels available
for sale at the event. Flyers will be going out in the mail this week. The flyer is also available
on our website at www.Kent Recyc les.com.
This event is funded by the Department of Ecology Coordinated Prevention Grant, the King
County Waste Reduction and Recycling Grant, and the Local Hazardous Waste Management
Program Grant.
Flyer will go out this week. Usual things will be accepted, such as: Batteries, mattresses and
the shredding truck will accept up to 3 bags. In addition Rain Barrels are for sale for $30 and
earth worms and composters for $25.

Public Works Committee Minutes 5
May .18, 2015
Item 8 — Annual Transportation Impact Fee Adiustment:
City Engineer, Chad Bieren briefed the committee about the Annual Transportation Impact
Fee Adjustment. Following the discussion on Transportation Impact Fee ("TIF") annual
adjustments at the March 16, 2015 and April 2, 2015 Public Works Committee meetings, staff
has prepared an ordinance amending Section 12.14.060 of the Kent City Code. The
amendment will change the economic index used to make annual adjustments to TIF rates
from the Washington State Department of Transportation Construction Cost Index to the
Construction Cost Index for Seattle-Tacoma-Bremerton published in the Engineering News
Record.
The WSDOT Index has seen significant fluctuations over the past two years that are not
consistent with construction costs experienced in City contracts. The Construction Cost Index
published in the Engineering News Record would provide more predictable annual
adjustments to the TIF.
The ordinance regards the change of the index for annual adjustments on the TIF. This give a
better gauge of construction prices versus using DOT. DOT has a number of major projects
that have skewed the results. We anticipate a significant number of projects that will be
paying into the TIF. It's a good revenue source and we do need to consider what are other
cities are charging for their TIF such as Renton, Kirkland. We need to use what we are
moving toward.
Councilmember Ralph commented that this was a prudent thing to do especially in light that
neighboring jurisdictions are also using this index. Director LaPorte offered to come back with
a comparable with the other jurisdictions as an information only item. A memo will be sent to
the committee members with the compilation.
Committee member Ralph MOVED to recommend Council adopt Ordinance No.
amending Section 12.14.060 of the Kent City Code. The motion was SECONDED by
committee member Fincher and PASSED 3 - 0.
Item 9 — Central Ave. S. Accept Construction Grant:
Design Engineering Supervisor, Mark Madfai noted that the pavement along South Central
Avenue between Willis Street and the South Central Bridge has numerous cracks, rutting and
patches and is in need of repair replacement. Because of the progressed deterioration of
Central Avenue, this arterial requires more of a reconstruction than a simple overlay.
Construction for this project is anticipated to start in July and will repair failing pavement
sections including replacement of curb, gutter and sidewalk and provide a full width overlay of
the roadway. Also, included in the project will be the replacement of the water main and
relining of the sanitary sewer main.
The Public Works Department competed for and was awarded a $1,500,000 federal grant
through the Puget Sound Regional Council for the Construction Phase of this project. This
funding is in addition to the $300,000 federal grant that the City was awarded for the Design
Phase of this project.
The City will receive $1,500,000 of federal funding. The local match for this grant is
$234,104. Funding for the local match will come from the B&O Tax. On schedule to advertise
the project tomorrow. Project is from Willis to Green River Bridge, pavement rutted and in
poor condition for over a mile long.

Public Works Committee Minutes 6
May .18, 2015
The existing street trees will come out and we will replace the water line that dates back to
1955, from Willis st to 2591h and will be lining the sewer system. Construction is slated to
start early in July.
Director LaPorte stated that the committee made it very clear to staff in December of 2014
when the project list was discussed that this was an important project. I am very impressed
with what staff has done; getting Federal Funds are difficult with a lot of intricacies.
Chairman Higgins also gave his thanks to staff for their hard work in getting the funds; this
will be a real feather in your cap. Councilmember Ralph noted that staff has been very good
stewards of this B&O money. Councilmember Fincher noted about the upcoming meeting on
May 271h, 7:30-8:30 am at the senior center, open to the public.
Citizen Doolittle commented that the sign that says "welcome to Kent" sign is short of the
line, will we be going all the way to the sign? Director LaPorte confirmed that it will.
Committee member Fincher MOVED to recommend Council authorize the Mayor to
accept a Federal Grant in the amount of $1,500,000 for the Construction Phase of
the Central Avenue South Pavement Preservation Project and direct staff to
establish a budget for the funds, subject to final terms and conditions acceptable to
the City Attorney and Public Works Director. The motion was SECONDED by
committee member Ralph and PASSED 3 - 0.
Item 10 — Information Only/James Street Planting:
Design Engineer Manager, Mark Howlett updated the committee members on the James
Street plantings and street trees. Last September crews began fixing sidewalks that were
buckled by street trees. In cooperation with the Parks department, Public Work Operations
crews started by cutting down trees and then got into removing sidewalks and fixing them.
Due to feedback from the public, hired a landscape architect and had an open house on April
91h 2015. Solicited comments from the public about what they would like to see put into the
vacant strip that the trees once occupied. After collecting the 81 comments, there was 31%
support for trees, 26% for combo of grass, trees and low ground cover. We have also looked
at the possibility of planting some trees on private property which would involve getting
easements. We will return to committee with a recommendation on what staff and the
consultant believes will be the best option. Director LaPorte noted that the north side of
James will be having trees removed shortly and only 8 will be able to remain. Chairman
Higgins would like planting strip on the south side to be maintained. Director LaPorte noted
that the adjoining property owners have responsibility to maintain them. Councilmember
Fincher would like a list of the location of the 8 trees that are remaining. Director LaPorte
states they will be flagged in a way to be obvious which ones are remaining.
Information Only/No Motion Required
Item 11 —Information Only/Green Duwamish Clean-Up Pollutant Loading
Assessment:
Environmental Engineering Manager, Mike Mactutis noted that the Green/Duwamish River
watershed is identified on Washington's impaired waterbody list as being impaired by over 50
different pollutants. Portions of the Green/Duwamish River watershed are also on the National
Priorities List and are in various stages of sediment cleanup under the federal Superfund and
Washington State Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA) programs.

Public Works Committee Minutes 7
May .18, 2015
Ecology and EPA entered into an order in December 2000 with King County, Port of Seattle
(the Port), City of Seattle, and The Boeing Company, to assess the extent of sediment
contamination and proceed with a cleanup action plan. Sediment cleanup efforts are ongoing.
Ecology and EPA have decided that, in addition to ongoing cleanup efforts in the Duwamish, a
concerted effort is needed to address pollution sources upstream of the Duwamish. These
efforts will include extensive pollution modeling with the goal of establishing achievable and
measurable reductions in pollutants being introduced to the Green River and its tributaries.
Staff provided an update on the Pollutant Loading Assessment process, including tentative
schedules, Kent participation, and possible outcomes of the effort.
This is a large area in the Duwamish that has cleanup for excess of 30 years and projected
$342 million to clean up. Assessment of the entire roadway could potentially impact
permitting. There is a lot of modeling pollutants so we are looking at sources, loading, predict
the impact and effectiveness of this clean up. Goal is to have a quality assurance project plan
(QAPP) to decide which chemicals should be modeled and which plan is appropriate. There
are currently large gaps in the modeling, anticipate nothing substantial till about ten years in
order to have accurate models. We will continue to attend the technical committee meetings
and bringing information back to the PW Committee meeting. The next step is a public
meeting on Thursday May 281h, will be providing an overview and cleanup efforts at the
Tukwila Community Center. RSVP @ PLA(abgreendwamishwatershed.info
Councilmember Ralph wanted to thank Mike for being a valuable resource to the city
regarding Green River, Levee's and Salmon. Everyone looks to Mike as an expert on these
topics.
Information Only/No Motion Required
Item 12 —Information Only/East Valley Highway Lane Settlement:
Public Works Director, Tim LaPorte stated that for the last several years' staff has been
monitoring a settlement in the roadway observed in the outer southbound lane of East Valley
Highway adjacent to Tacoma Screw products and Les Schwab in the 22100 block. Until
recently, the settlement has totaled about a foot. We have had to periodically fill the
depression with an asphalt patch to keep the lane open. The valley floor goes 80-100 feet
deep with fine grain material. The metro sewer line is 10 ft. under the water table.
It is staffs opinion that the probable cause is an underlying Metro sewer line which has also
settled and has groundwater infiltration at a higher than normal rate. The sewer line is 21 feet
deep. Cracks or openings in this 24 inch pipe would allow groundwater and fine grained soil
material to leach into the pipe and then get carried away by the continuous sewage flow. We
have had discussions with King County Metro staff for over a year but have not had resolution
on the fix or responsibility.
This past Mother's Day weekend the roadway settled an additional amount at this location
necessitating the lane closure. Because of the increased rate of settlement, the need to fix the
problem is more necessary.
Although King County Metro has not acknowledged responsibility, County staff asked if the
city could take the lead contractually on fixing the problem as our contracting process is
faster than theirs.

Public Works Committee Minutes 8
May .18, 2015
As we and King County staff learn more about the problem we will continue to negotiate
responsibility. King County has agreed to review the line operation with TV equipment next
week. The worst case would be having to dig up the Metro line and replace 400 ft. of line and
dewater it, close the road down and about a month's worth of construction with about a half
million dollars cost. Currently we are Tv'ing to help pinpoint the cause; it's possible to slip
line the pipe where we put a plastic insert which would stop the sand from leaching into it.
This would stabilize the material over the top and allow Metro to replace the line at a future
time.
Chairman Higgins would like to know if there is a risk that Kent could be left with the entire
cost. Director LaPorte responded that it's remotely possible if we find a small layer of peat
but we do not believe that to be the case. Councilmember Fincher asked if there is a
timeframe to look at this. Director LaPorte responded that the Tv'ing tomorrow and depending
what is found, next steps will be decided upon. City Attorney Brubaker commented that first
step is determine the cause and have Metro to agree to the cause and then we will know
where we stand in terms of who's responsible for the cost.
Budget Impact: It is staff opinion that the problem is infiltration in the Metro sewer and is
therefore the responsibility of that agency. There is no agreement in place at this time
however.

Summary: The Draft 2016-2021 Six Year TIP represents the City's proposed
transportation improvement work program for the next six years. Per RCW
35.77.010, the six-year plan for each city shall specifically set forth those projects
and programs of regional significance for inclusion in the transportation
improvement program within that region. The program is also required to be
consistent with the Kent Comprehensive Plan.
Including these projects in the Six Year TIP allows the City to look for funding
partners and apply for grants. Most State and Federal agencies require that projects
being submitted for grants be included in a City's adopted Six Year TIP.
Exhibit: Draft 2016-2021 Six Year Transportation Improvement Program

Introduction
Overview
The 2016-2021 Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a short-
range planning document that is updated annually based on needs and policies
identified in the City's adopted Comprehensive Plan and 2008 Transportation Master
Plan. It represents Kent's current list of needed projects that may begin work in
the next six years. The document identifies secured or reasonably expected
revenue sources for each of the projects. The Six-Year TIP serves as a draft work
plan for the development of the local transportation network. Once adopted, the
TIP helps to guide funding and implementation priorities during the development of
the transportation portion of the Six -Year Capital Investment Program (CIP). The
CIP can be considered a subset of the TIP. The CIP shows the City-funded portion
of projects and is constrained by current budget forecasts, whereas the TIP shows
the complete project list with the variety of funding sources and partners involved.
Mandated by State Law
State law requires that each city develop a local TIP, that it be updated annually
(RCW 35.77.010), and that it be submitted to the State Department of
Transportation not more than thirty days after its adoption but before July 1st. It
represents an important planning component under the state's Growth Management
Act. For cities to compete for transportation funding grants from Federal and State
sources, granting agencies require that projects be included in the TIP. The Six-
Year Transportation Improvement Program may be revised at any time during the
year by a majority of the Council, after a Public Hearing.
How is the 2016-2021 SIX-YEAR TIP different from the previous year?
The Six Year TIP is required to be consistent with the transportation element of the
Comprehensive Plan pursuant to RCW 35.77.010. The City is in the process of
updating the Kent 2035 Comprehensive Plan, scheduled for adoption by June 30,
2015.
For the 2035 Comprehensive Plan Update, the first six years of the plan are
financially constrained. Meaning that, secured funding is demonstrated within an
approved budget or similarly approved funding action. Subsequently, the 2016-
2021 TIP has been revised to reflect projects that will be constructed using existing
funding sources as well as the City's historical record of average grant
disbursements.

PROJECT #1: Kent Kangley Pedestrian Safety Improvements
104th Avenue SE to 124th Avenue SE
YEAR: 2016
DESCRIPTION: Add a new mid-block pedestrian crossing of Kent Kangley Road
with median refuge island and Rectangular Rapid Flashing
Beacons. Restripe crosswalks and stop bars, upgrade
pedestrian crossings to countdown message modules and
Americans with Disability Accessible (ADA) standard pedestrian
push buttons. There are a total of 8 intersections that will be
improved by this project and proper signage will be updated
along the entire project length. The project is currently under
design. Construction is expected to begin in 2015.
PROJECT COST: Preliminary Engineering ........$74,000
Right of Way Acquisition ...............$0
Construction ....................$342,000
TOTAL............................$416,000
FUNDING SOURCE(S): Washington State Department of Transportation
PROJECT
JUSTIFICATION: Kent Kangley Road (SR 516) is one of the most densely
populated corridors in the City. The section from 104th Ave SE
to 124th Ave SE is a congested, mixed land use, Principal
Arterial that is a designated truck route currently operating at
a Level of Service (LOS) E during the PM Peak. The majority
of housing along this portion of SR 516 is high density
multifamily housing that generates a substantial amount of
pedestrian traffic. This section of Kent Kangley is a high
boarding area for transit and is also a popular destination for
senior citizens due to the high concentration of shopping
facilities, banks, medical offices and senior housing. The
project area includes two of the highest collision incident
locations in the City (104th Avenue SE at 256th Street and
116th Avenue SE at Kent Kangley Road). The majority of
collisions reported in the project area from 2006-2008
occurred during the daylight hours with pedestrians over the
age of 18. This project will improve safety through the
construction of these engineering improvements combined
with education and enforcement.

FUNDING SOURCE(S): City of Kent, State Regional Mobility Grant
PROJECT
JUSTIFICATION: This project will provide additional transit access to support the
high parking demand at the Kent Transit Center. The existing
surface and structured parking is full by 7AM on weekdays.
With the current Sounder schedule, half of the AM northbound
commuter trains arrive after 7AM. Commuters that would
otherwise choose to ride the bus or train to access other
regional centers have to drive instead. A missing link of
sidewalk along 1st Avenue N between Smith St and
Temperance St is also within the project area. This area is
heavily used by commuters walking and biking to and from the
Sounder Platform and Metro and Sound Transit bus station
pullouts. This project will complete pedestrian improvements in
the area as well as increase parking and provide electric vehicle
charging stations for commuters.

JUSTIFICATION: The existing roadway system cannot accommodate the current
or forecast east-west traffic volumes between Kent's East Hill
and the Green River Valley floor. In order to meet
transportation concurrency requirements of the Growth
Management Act, additional east-west vehicle capacity is
required. Intersections along South 208th/212th Street and
James/Southeast 240th Streets are also at or over capacity. It
is not feasible to widen the James/Southeast 240th Street and
South 208th/212th Street 'corridors' enough to accommodate
forecast traffic volumes without additional east-west capacity
because of existing development and topographic constraints.

FUNDING SOURCE(S): WSDOT, City of Kent
PROJECT
JUSTIFICATION: Meridian Elementary School is located near the intersection of
SE 256th Street and 140th Avenue SE. The school provides
adult crossing guards to help students cross SE 256th Street.
The level of development in the area has increased to the point
that local traffic in the neighborhood and in the communities to
the east of the school has become especially heavy at the
afternoon bell times. A full traffic signal would assist the
crossing guards, the school children, the parents and teachers
arriving/leaving the school and all the local motorists to
maneuver in an orderly way during times of heavy conflict.
Currently students must walk or bike along a wide shoulder on
SE 256th Street. This project would provide asphalt pavement
adjacent to the signal to assist crossing guards, parents,
students, and motorist.

bicycle lanes to penetrate what had here-to-for been a barrier
to east/west bicycle travel, State Route 167. Bike lanes
currently extend easterly from this point providing connections
to the King County Regional Justice Center, Kent Station (an
18-acre shopping and entertainment complex), and the Kent
Transit Center. Nearby land uses include historic downtown
Kent, City Hall and the Kent City Center project scheduled to
add 164 urban-style apartments to the downtown core which
began construction in 2014. Filling in the missing links of this
bicycle corridor is expected to encourage more people to utilize
bicycling for more of their trips. The anticipated mode shift
from single-occupant vehicle to bicycle will allow Kent to meet

JUSTIFICATION: Kent is an important freight distribution center in the Puget
Sound Region. The efficient movement of freight, through and
within the City is critical to Kent's economic health. With the
completion of the final road segment of 72nd Avenue South
between South 196th Street and South 200th Street, 72nd
Avenue South becomes a key freight corridor and this
intersection of two important freight corridors (72nd Ave S and
S 212th Street) takes on a highly significant role in relieving the
congestion often found on West Valley Highway at peak
periods. This improvement reduces future southbound vehicle
queuing and congestion and has the potential to improve
intersection delay from 193 seconds per vehicle to 63 seconds
per vehicle.

SIX YEAR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
PROJECT #19: Street Preservation Program
Ongoing Citywide Program
YEAR: 2016 - 2021
DESCRIPTION: Projects that maintain the existing transportation system by
overlaying, rehabilitating, and reconstructing the existing asphalt and
concrete streets throughout the City.
PROJECT COST: Preliminary Engineering .... $5,000,000
Right of Way Acquisition ................$0
Construction ................ $67,000,000
TOTAL ........................$72,000,000
FUNDING SOURCE(S): City of Kent
PROJECT
JUSTIFICATION: The City assessed the condition of its street network in 2011. It was
found that many of the streets exhibit deficiencies that reflect they
are beyond their expected performance life and in need of a
maintenance or rehabilitation overlay, or some amount of
reconstruction. Moreover, historically, the amount of pavement
resurfacing, rehabilitation, and reconstruction monies the City has
budgeted each year has been insufficient to address the deficiencies
of its street network. Insufficient budgets to perform this necessary
work results in more expensive maintenance and rehabilitation
options.

PROJECT #21: Sidewalks, Sidewalk Repair and the Americans with Disabilities
Act Compliance Program
Ongoing Citywide Program
YEAR: 2016 - 2021
DESCRIPTION: Systematically construct new sidewalks throughout the City as
identified by prioritized project lists in the 2008 Transportation Master
Plan. Reconstruct and repair existing sidewalks and curb ramps and
install new truncated domes and hard-surfaced sidewalks to implement
the requirements of the Federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
consistent with the findings of the Non-motorized Chapter (Chapter 6)
of the 2008 Transportation Master Plan.
PROJECT COST: Preliminary Engineering .......$500,000
Right of Way Acquisition ......$250,000
Construction .................. $2,250,000
TOTAL ..........................$3,000,000
FUNDING SOURCE(S): City of Kent
PROJECT
JUSTIFICATION: This project is mandated by Title II of the Americans with Disabilities
Act. Title II requires that a public entity must evaluate its services,
programs, policies, and practices to determine whether they are in
compliance with the nondiscrimination requirements of the ADA. The
ADA requires that an ADA Transition Plan be prepared to describe any
structural or physical changes required to make programs accessible.
The City has conducted a self-evaluation and prepared a Transition
Plan including a prioritized list of projects to bring itself into
compliance with the Federal ADA regulations. This program begins
working on that list of projects to construct and repair the City's
sidewalk and street/sidewalk transition zones for accessibility for all
users and begins to address the pedestrian improvements identified in
the Transportation Master Plan. This project can help achieve the
City's goals for improving mobility, reducing vehicle trips, increasing
physical activity, and improving transportation connectedness.

PROJECT #23: Community Based Circulating Shuttles
Ongoing Citywide Programs
YEAR: 2016 - 2021
DESCRIPTION: Continue to provide enhanced transit service to meet the needs of the
community through the use of fixed-route shuttle service, with
demand-responsive routing capabilities. Routes 914/916 serve the
Kent Transit Center, Regional Justice Center, Kent City Hall, Green
River Community College's Kent campus, and local shopping and
medical facilities. The Route 913 shuttle connects the City's
manufacturing/industrial center with the regional bus and commuter
train services at the Kent Transit Center.
PROJECT COST: Preliminary Engineering .........$10,000
Implementation .................$770,000
TOTAL .............................$780,000
FUNDING SOURCE(S): City of Kent, CMAQ, King County, ITS
PROJECT
JUSTIFICATION: Routes 914/916 provide mobility and independence to many of the
city's seniors and reduce the need for expensive ACCESS service for
many wheelchair-lift service trips. Community circulating shuttles
encourage the participation of all ages, all economic groups, all
physical abilities, and virtually all of our community in everyday civic
life without the isolation and pollution of the automobile for every trip.
Commuter shuttles enhance the regional transit/train service by
providing the vital link from home or work to the Transit Center,
encouraging people to travel without their personal vehicles — thus
avoiding the cold-start impacts to air quality and reducing congestion
on local streets.

Subject: Cheema Short Plat Sensitive Area Release
Motion:
Move to recommend Council release the Sensitive Area Easement on the
Cheema short plat subject to final terms and conditions approved by the
City Attorney and Public Works Director
Summary: The Cheema Short Plat was approved by the City on May 3, 2007. Due
to the economic slowdown, the development was never completed and the plat
expired on May 3, 2011. Prior to expiration, the developer granted the City an
easement for a Sensitive Area located within the proposed development. The
property owner is now interested in selling the vacant parcel and has requested that
the city release the easement, which requires Council approval. Staff
recommendation is to release the easement, if a new plat is proposed sensitive
areas would be protected under the code in force at the time of the proposal.

RE: Request for Release of Sensitive Areas Easement
City File Nos. SP-2006-22; RECC 2074781
King County Parcel No. 202205-9003
BCE Job No. 16677
Dear Ms. George:
We, the undersigned owners of property referenced above, request that the City of Kent release the
Sensitive Areas Easement Recording No. 20101201000461. The easement was recorded as a measure
of good faith effort to finalize the short plat referenced above that was nearing expiration at that time. We
request that the easement be released for the following reasons:
• The property contains one single-family home and is not an active short plat at this time.
• The easement was not required by the City prior to the short plat recording; it was voluntarily
recorded by the applicant.
• The regulations for critical areas and buffer widths have changed since the expired short plat
was reviewed, so the extents of the existing easement are no longer valid.
Please consider this request and contact me or Ms. Ivana Halvorsen at Barghausen Consulting
Engineers, Inc. via email at ihalvorsen(a)barghausen.com or by telephone at (425) 251-6222) with any
questions or comments.

Subject: Information Only/Channelization on 109tn
INFORMATION ONLY
Summary:
109th Avenue from SE 256th St to SE 248th St will be overlaid in 2015. This roadway
segment is classified as a residential collector arterial. At the intersections with SE
248th St and SE 256th St, there are separate lanes for left turning traffic. The
parcels adjacent to this roadway are primarily multi-family developments
(combination of condominiums and apartments) with a few single-family residents at
the north end. Access to the multi-family developments are focused at several
driveways which are served by the two-way left turn lane in the center of the
roadway.
With the future overlay, staff has evaluated the feasibility of modifying the existing
channelization to incorporate bicycle lanes/shared use markings. The existing
roadway width is not sufficient to include exclusive bicycle lanes. However, there is
sufficient width to mark the majority of the roadway as shared by motor vehicles
and bicycles. 'Sharrows' are the uniform markings used to designate this shared
travel lane configuration. Although sharrow markings have been used in other
jurisdictions in the region, this will be the first location where they are used in Kent.
Staff will provide a brief presentation summarizing the change in channelization
markings.
Exhibit: N/A
Budget Impact: Channelization marking change will be funded as part of the Solid
Waste funded residential overlay.

Subject: Information Only/Quiet Zone Analysis
Information Only
Summary: At the Committee's request, staff is providing background information
regarding the potential for a Local Improvement District (LID) to help pay for a
railroad Quiet Zone in downtown Kent. A successful LID was formed for a Quiet
Zone in Vancouver, Washington and we have some of their documents.
Several years ago we met with Railroad and Federal Rail Administration officials and
made a preliminary determination of improvements needed for a Quiet Zone in
downtown Kent. If the Council wanted to move forward with this endeavor an
outside appraisal consultant would need to be hired to determine the potential for
LID special benefit.
We anticipate that the cost for determining whether or not it is feasible to move
forward with a LID (a feasibility analysis) would be in the order of $100K. This
would include consultant fees for an appraiser, noise expert, Quiet Zone expert and
staff time.
If after review of the feasibility analysis, Council desired to then move forward with
a LID for this purpose, a very rough idea of the LID establishment process cost is
approximately an additional $200K.
Exhibit: None
Budget Impact: No money has been identified in the current budget for this
purpose.
