II. PRESENTATIONS
1 Panther Lake Park
Brian Levenhagen 45 MIN.
Terry Jungman
Deputy Parks Director, Brian Levenhagen opened the workshop by providing
information on the Panther Lake Community Park.
Background:
Panther Lake was annexed to Kent in 2010. Over 24,000 new residents and 5
square miles of land
• Kent Parks took over 3 parks from King County:
• Park Orchard Park - 6.3-acre neighborhood park
• Green Tree Park - 1.5-acre neighborhood park
• North Meridian Park - 35-acre athletic complex/natural area
• Kent Parks looked for property for future parks
• Future site for a Community Park
• Future water access to Panther Lake
• Water access to Panther Lake
• City acquired Matinjussi and Van Dyke Properties in 2010
• 6.61 acres combined
Last feasible acquisition targets on Panther Lake to provide water access to
the Lake.
Acquired with an RCO WWRP - Water Access Grant
• Site will also serve as a neighborhood park for that area of Panther Lake
• One of 3 new neighborhood parks called out as strategic projects in the 2016

• Panther Lake is slowly turning into a wetland, with significant water
vegetation growth for 6 months a year.
Future Panther Lake Community Park Site
City acquired the Huse Property (2010)
• 33.7 acres
• Largest undeveloped property available for acquisition
• Acquired with an RCO WWRP - Local Parks and KC CFT Grants
• Already a great park site, just needs access
• Goal is to preserve natural character of the site 2
• Adjacent to King County's Soos Creek Trail

2017 Park and Open Space Plan °
CE
In 2016, the City Council adopted the Park and Open Space Plan, which o
directly aligns with the City's Comprehensive Plan, and emphasized the a
following goals: a
• Quality Public Spaces: Provide a high -quality park system that promotes Kent
as a livable city. a
• Performance -based Approach: Plan and maintain the system with the help of
a performance -based set of assessment tools. (Recreational Value Based N
Level of Service) N
• Transformation Through Reinvestment: Reinvest in the existing system to C
successfully transform it into a vibrant and relevant urban park system.
• Sustainable Funding: Implement a funding model which adequately supports
a Level of Service that reflects the community's priorities. o
The 2016 Park Plan emphasized reinvesting in existing parks:
Address Large Deferred Maintenance Backlog
• Lake Meridian Dock
• Lake Fenwick Floating Walkway
Make Better Use of our Existing Parks
• Hogan Park Field 1 Turf Conversion
• Morrill Meadows Park/YMCA Project
• West Fenwick Park Renovation
Preserve and Enhance Recreational Value - Neighborhood Parks Renovated:
• Green View Park
• Kiwanis Tot Lot #3
• Meridian Glen Park
• Seven Oaks Park
Projects in Process
• Van Doren's Landing
• Kherson Park Renovation

• Springwood Park Renovation
• Chestnut Ridge Renovation
• Salt Air Vista Renovation
• 4th and Willis Greenway
What about building new parks?
Kent hasn't built a new park since Town Square Plaza in 2008
• Parks has prioritized getting more recreational value out of our existing parks
and replacing failing assets
• New Parks are much more expensive to build
• New Parks typically take more time to design, permit and do community
outreach.
• Requires a larger increase in operating budget or reduction in LOS to
maintain/operate
Why we are building a new park
2016 Park Plan found that the LOS in the East Hill North Region of the city
was less than a third, that of the entire city.
• This park deficiency was inherited and not the burden of the rest of the City
of Kent.
• King County's City Health Report shows that Kent East Hill ranks towards the
bottom compared to the rest of King County in many indicators of public
health.
• Including physical activity limitations, poor health and high levels of
mental distress.
• 7 elementary schools plus the new Kent Laboratory Academy within the East
Hill North region.
• The 2020-2028 Comprehensive Recreation Program Plan found that people
want programming opportunities closer to their homes.
• It would only make sense to build a new park if we could get a significant
portion of the funding from outside of Kent.
• East Hill North does not have a Community Park
Property comparison:
Huse Property
• Community Park
• Potential Rec Value = 17.75
• 33.7 acres
• Service area covers entire East Hill North region
• Greater Ability to leverage outside funds
Matinjussi Property
• Neighborhood Park
• Potential Rec Value = 9.5
• 6.61 acres

• Service Area is a .75-mile radius
• Less attractive for grants
• A Community Park should take some pressure off the existing neighborhood
parks in this area of the city.
• Regional Trail Access
• Partnership Potential - Friends of Soos Creek/King County Parks
• Potential for Programming/Revenue, guided nature/birding walks, exercise
classes in the parks, rentable picnic shelter, small events, summer day
camps, etc.
• Matinjussi is one of 3 new neighborhood parks listed in the 2016 plan's
strategic projects.
• West Hill Park Property - Acquired 1995
• 132nd Ave Property - Acquired 1996 °
�a
• Matinjussi Property - Acquired 2008 0
• Opportunities to build new parks are rare, if we can only add one new Q
park in the next 15 years, Huse will have the biggest impact. g
Grant strategy
• Building a new Community Park for the East Hill North region of the city
provides the biggest possible increase in recreational value for this
underserved region, with a service area that reaches all of the residents
while also bringing the potential to provide recreational programming closer
to residents.
• The larger service area and higher potential recreational value makes a
community park more likely to receive significant grant funding.
• City of Covington recently got a $7 million DOC grant for phase 2 of
Covington Community Park (Covington's first community park). Covington
had an estimated population of 21,175 in 2019, smaller than the population
of Panther Lake (let alone the entire East Hill North region).
• Grant application was given the interim name of "Panther Lake Community
Park" to draw attention to the fact that as many people live there as many
small cities in the area, rather than using the former property owner's name.
• The inherited problem of the Panther Lake Annexation Area being
underserved by parks has been a consistent topic of concern in discussions
with state legislators in the 47th and 11th districts.
• Panther Lake Community Park project was dependent on outside funding
sources to move forward since parks capital resources have been prioritized
to reinvesting in Kent's existing park system.
Reviewed available grant funding:
WA State Department of Commerce Grants (no set limit)
• City of Kent submitted a request to the WA state legislature for $3 million to
build Panther Lake Community Park, receiving $2 million. This grant is
specifically tied to the Huse Property.
ARPA Funds

• Parks submitted a budget request for Panther Lake Community Park and
received $1 million in the approved 2022 mid -biennial budget.
WA State RCO Grants (2022 application cycle)
• Staff is considering submitting for $500,000 WWRP - Local Parks Grant
• Staff is considering submitting for $500,000 LWCF Grant (federal grant
administered by RCO)
• RCO is currently evaluating raising the max grant award to $1M-$2M
due to increased funding from federal government.
King County Grants
• Staff is considering submitting for a King County Parks Levy Grant in
2022($500,000 max)
$2M in funds approved by the WA State Legislature combined with $1M from
4-
City Capital Resources Fund and $1M in ARPA funds approved in 2022 mid -
biennial adjustment bring the total budget for this project to about $4M.
