Lower Russell Levee - Green River Natural Resources Area Property Surplus and Restrictive Covenant Removal Set Public Hearing - Recommend Toby Hallock, Environmental Engineer noted that on March 6, 2018, Council authorized an Interlocal Agreement (ILA) with the King County Flood Control District for the City to acquire those remaining property rights that are Public Works Committee CC PW Regular Meeting Minutes February 4, 2019 Kent, Washington Page 2 of 6 needed to support the Lower Russell Road Levee Project. The most economical way to acquire KOA’s property is through a land exchange transaction where the KOA will transfer a portion of its land to the City in exchange for the City’s transfer of a portion of its Green River Natural Resources Area (GRNRA) to the KOA. The GRNRA is owned by the City’s drainage utility and grant open space use restrictions currently limit how the GRNRA may be used. These grants were acquired through King County’s 1993 Regional Conservation Futures Acquisition Program and King County’s Department of Metropolitan Services Regional Shoreline Fund. Both grants allow the open space use to be converted upon the acquisition of suitable replacement property. The City and King County are in active discussions on suitable replacement property, and the City believes King County will likely accept the KOA land the City receives through this land exchange, or the previously acquired Suh Property, as replacement property for that portion of the GRNRA to be transferred to the KOA. Through the ILA, the Flood District previously agreed to reimburse the City for its acquisition costs of the Suh Property and the KOA Property, including KOA’s costs to reconstruct campsites on the transferred GRNRA property. MOTION: Recommend Council set a public hearing on March 5, 2019, for Council to consider whether to surplus and transfer a portion of the Green River Natural Resources Area to the owners of the KOA Campground, and to remove any restrictive covenants that may be necessary to allow that property transfer to occur, all in support of the Lower Russell Road Levee Improvement Project, and conditioned upon the City’s receipt of other land that makes the Green River Natural Resources Area whole.

Ordinance Amending Kent City Code Chapter 9.38 - Parking Restrictions – Adopt Rob Brown, Transportation Manager noted that the Kent School District allows Kentridge High School students to drive to school, although on-site parking availability is limited. As a result, Kentridge students park in Glencarin Division 1, Shadow Run, and Jason Lane neighborhoods to the south of SE 208th St. The residents of these neighborhoods have requested the City implement parking restrictions through an ordinance to facilitate enforcement. The signs that are currently posted in these neighborhoods were establish by King County prior to annexation into Kent but are not enforceable since King County never annexed into Kent. The proposed change to city code creates uniform parking restrictions across all three neighborhoods. MOTION: Adopt Ordinance No. , which amends Chapter 9.38 of the Kent City Code to add additional parking restrictions in specified locations and to establish a new residential parking zone in the Mill Creek Neighborhood.
