WE WILL APPROVE THE AGENDA AS
AMENDED.
>> WE WILL FIGURE THAT AS WE
WORK THROUGH.
WE HAVE SOME NEW RULES.
WITH THAT WE WILL HAVE PUBLIC
COMMENT.
PEOPLE WILL HAVE TWO MINUTES TO
COMMENT.
>> WE HAD ONE PERSON SIGN UP.
>> MISS BOUCHARD.
>> GOOD DAY.
GOOD DAY EVERYONE.
I AM A PERSON THAT TAKES PRIDE
IN EXHUMING TRANSPORTATION BY
THE BUS.
BY THE TIME I GET HERE I'M A
NERVOUS WRECK BECAUSE THE BUSES
ARE NOT ALWAYS COMPATIBLE FOR
US.
EVEN CHILDREN IN SCHOOL ARE NOT
SUPPOSED TO BE BULLIED.
THAT'S SUPPOSED BE AGAINST THE
LAW.
I HAVE LIVED HERE ALL MY LIFE I
HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS TREACHERY
AND TREASON AND THE RACISM AND
FILTH THAT HAS COME OUT OF
DISCRIMINATION.
IT IS ALL DISPLAYED DOWN HERE.
IN THESE CHAMBERS.
I HAVE SPOKEN CONSISTENTLY
AGAINST IT.
I HAVE DONE EXACTLY WHAT I AM
SUPPOSED TO DO BY LAW TO
ADDRESS IT.
I AM A HUMAN BEING.
GOD GAVE ME THIS VOICE TO SPEAK
AND I WILL USE IT.
SO BACK IN THE 60s WE USED TO
GET BEATEN AND EVEN IN SLAVERY
FOR HAVING ANYTHING TO SAY TO
ADDRESS ANYTHING THAT WAS GOING
WRONG WITH US.
I'M TALKING ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE
IN THE COMMUNITIES, IN THEIR
HOMES AND IN SOCIETY.
THAT IS WHY YOU SEE ANOTHER
PERSON COMING DOWN HERE.
THEY ARE TRYING TO CRIMINALLY
INSULT OUR INTEGRITY AND CALL
IT A CRIMINAL SANCTION BECAUSE
THEY ARE UP AGAINST THE WALL
LIKE THE MAN WITH HIS HANDS
FOLDED AND DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH
POWER TO SHOOT US DOWN.
SO I AM STILL GOING TO KEEP
ADDRESSING IT.
THE LORD WILL SAY DIFFERENT.
HE IS THE ONE THAT INSTRUCTS ME
IN THE WAY THAT I SHOULD GO I
DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS MESS UP
IN HERE.
I KEEP SPEAKING ABOUT ME NOT
UNDERSTANDING THIS MESS UP IN
HERE AND DON'T YOU KNOW OUT OF
ALL THESE PEOPLE IN THE CITY
THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO SAY THIS
IS HOW IT'S DONE.
THEY ARE TAKING YOUR FREE
SPEECH AND DON'T YOU LET THEM
DO THAT TO YOU.
THAT IS WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN
DOING SINCE THE BEGINNING OF
TIME.
>> THANK YOU.
>> THAT IS ALL THAT HAS SIGNED
UP TODAY.
WOULD ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO HAVE
PUBLIC COMMENT?
>> OKAY.
SING THEN WE WILL CLOSE PUBLIC
COMMENT.
>> LET ME PRESENT AGENDA ITEM
NUMBER ONE.
>> YES THE REPORT.
THANK YOU.
>> HANG ON FOR 1 MINUTE
PRESENTERS.
>> I WANTED TO TAKE A MINUTE TO
HIGHLIGHT A CONCERN I HAVE ABOUT
BIKE SAFETY.
WE HAVE HAD SOME INCIDENTS LAST
WEEK.
I ASKED KELLY TO TEA UP A VIDEO
THAT SOMEONE SENT IN FROM 35th
AVENUE EAST AND I WILL ASK YOU
TO PLAY THAT IF YOU HAVE A
SECOND, KELLY.
>> THIS IS RECENTLY REDONE, THE
ROAD PROJECT.
IT IS SUPPOSEDLY MEETING A
COMPLETE STREET PROPERTY.
THIS IS A HELMET CAN ON
BICYCLIST.
I HAVE BEEN A BIKE COMMUTER FOR
20 YEARS.
I PUT UP WITH A LOT OF STUFF.
TRYING TO ENCOURAGE NEW PEOPLE
TO GET ON THEIR BIKE AND COME
TO WORK WITH PEOPLE PASSING AT
HIGH SPEEDS IN THE CENTER TURN
LANE NOT DESIGNED FOR PASSING,
LIKE THAT AND NO ROOM FOR A
BIKE ON THE LANE, TO ME THIS
LOOKS TERRIFYING.
CERTAINLY IT WOULD NOT BE WHAT
I BE EXCUSE ME WOULD BE
IMPLEMENTING IF I WANTED TO
TRIPLE THE NUMBER OF CYCLISTS
IN THE COMMUNITY WITH THE
TRANSPORTATION PLANS AND
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PLAN.
SO, ON TOP OF THIS, I
UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WAS A
COLLISION LAST WEEK WHERE
CYCLIST WAS TAKEN TO THE
HOSPITAL BY AN AMBULANCE. I
DON'T HAVE MUCH IN THE WAY OF
DETAILS.
I'M NOT SURE BUT I'M INTERESTED
IN SENDING A LETTER TO THE
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO
ASK THEM TO COMMENT ON THIS
VIDEO EXPERIENCE AND THE
OVERALL IMPLEMENTATION OF
VISION 0 AND COMPLETE STREETS
ON 35th AVENUE NORTHEAST.
I SPECIFICALLY WANT TO
UNDERSTAND, WHEN THEY ANNOUNCED
THEY WOULD NOT PUT UP A
PROTECTIVE BIKE LANE THEY MADE
SOME CLAIMS THAT THEY THOUGHT
THAT WOULD BE SAFER FOR
CYCLIST.
THAT'S NOT WHAT I SEE.
WE WANT TO ASK IF THIS IS WHAT
THEY THINK CYCLIST SAFETY LOOKS
LIKE.
IF IT IS NOT AND WE MADE A
MISTAKE I'M CURIOUS, HOW DID WE
MAKE A MISTAKE SO LATE IN THE
GAME AND WHAT CAN WE DO TO
CORRECT THAT MISTAKE.
WE HAVE A STRONG COMMITMENT TO
VISION ZERO. WE ALREADY HAVE A
SERIOUS INJURY AND THAT VIDEO
EXPERIENCE WHICH I DON'T THINK
IS UNIQUE IS REALLY UNFORTUNATE.
OKAY.
THANK YOU FOR INCLUDING THIS IN
THE CHAIR'S REMARKS.
I DID WATCH THAT EARLIER.
IT IS PRETTY SCARY.
I DON'T THINK THAT VIDEO IS IN
ANY WAY SUPPORTING THE CLAIM
THAT THE CENTER LANE WOULD HAVE
MADE THINGS SAFER.
I WANT TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT
THE PRESS RELEASE THAT CAME OUT
FROM THE MAYOR'S OFFICE.
I BELIEVE THEY DID MAKE THAT
CLAIM. I
ECHO YOUR CONCERNS AND I SUPPORT
THE QUESTIONING OF THE
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AS
TO WHAT THEY THINK AND IF THEY
AGREE THIS IS NOT SOMETHING
PROMOTING SAFETY AND WHAT WOULD
THEY DO INSTEAD.
>> IF YOU ARE INTERESTED, I
WOULD HAVE TO BE TO DO
SOMETHING JOINTLY FOR THE
COMMITTEE.
>> THAT SOUNDS GREAT.
>> I'M ALSO TRYING TO THINK
THROUGH POLICIES WE SHOULD
IMPLEMENT. FIRST WE NEED TO
UNDERSTAND IF THEY THINK THIS
IS A SAVED PROJECT AND HOW THAT
IS SAFE.
WE REALLY NEED TO UP OUR GAME
IF WE WANT TO HAVE OUR CLIMATE
GOALS AND THAT DOESN'T FEEL
CONSISTENT.
>> KNOW.
I THINK WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE
ABANDONING OF THE BIKE LANE WAS
IT WAS JUST BROUGHT TO LIGHT
THAT WE CANNOT HAVE A CITY HALL
THAT TALKS ABOUT VISION ZERO
WITHOUT FOLLOWING THROUGH ON
CONCRETE ASPECTS OF HOW TO DO
THIS.
EVERY SINGLE PROJECT THAT IS
EXPANDING BIKE LANES AND THE
EASE FOR PEDESTRIANS TO BE
GOING AROUND THE CITY.
EVERY PROJECT MATTERS.
RIGHT.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING IN
THE CHAIR REPORT AND NOW AGENDA
ITEM NUMBER ONE.
APPT 01352 APPOINTMENT OF PAUL
SHERMAN AS MEMBER, SWEETENED
BEVERAGE TAX ADVISORY BOARD,
FOR A TERM TO AUGUST 31, 2021.
ONCE YOU GET SEATED I WILL HAVE
YOU START BY DOING A QUICK
INTRODUCTION.
I AM PAUL SHERMAN.
I AM THE NOMINEE FOR THE BOARD.
>> I AM HANNAH HILL.
THE FOOD POLICY DIRECTOR.
>> THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
>> DO YOU WANT TO TELL US WHAT
THE ADVISORY BOARD DOES?
>> ALL RIGHT.
HOPEFULLY I CAN DO BOTH.
1st OF ALL THANK YOU TO THE
COMMITTEE AND CHAIR FOR HAVING
US HERE TODAY.
I AM ALSO FILLING IN FOR
BRIDGET WITH THE OFFICE OF
SUSTAINABILITY AND THE SUITE
AND BEVERAGE TAX ADVISORY BOARD
WAS ESTABLISHED AND THE ROLE IS
TO DEVELOP RECOMMENDATIONS FOR
THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
PROGRAMS AND SERVICES THAT
SHOULD BE SORTED BY THESE
REVENUES.
THESE PROGRAMS AND SERVICES
MUST ALIGN WITH THE ORDINANCE
AND ARE THERE TO BENEFIT
SEATTLE POPULATIONS THAT
EXPERIENCED THE GREATEST
INEQUITIES.
THE BOARD SHALL CONSIST OF 11
REPRESENTATIVES OF RESIDENTS OF
THE CITY OF SEATTLE OR THAT
WORK IN THE BOUNDARIES.
SO TODAY WE ARE HERE FOR
CONFIRMATION HEARINGS.
IF YOU DON'T MIND I'LL GO
AHEAD.
>> IS THERE A VACANCY?
DID SOMEONE LEAVE THE BOARD?
>> I WOULD HAVE TO FOLLOW UP
WITH BRIDGET ON THAT.
I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THAT.
>> THAT'S FINE.
I WILL TELL YOU I'M SORRY THAT
I PUT YOU ON THE SPOT FOR THAT.
>> THIS IS THE MEDICAID AND
MANAGED CARE PLAN.
PRIOR TO JOINING THE COMMUNITY
HEALTH PLAN DOCTOR SHERMAN
WORKED AT KAISER PERMANENTE.
HE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
STATEWIDE CARE DELIVERY SYSTEM
AND OVERSOUL EMPLOYED CANNOT
CLINICIANS.
HE BEGAN IN PEDIATRICS.
HE HAS SERVED ON A VARIETY OF
BOARDS THROUGHOUT HIS CAREER.
I WILL TURN IT OVER TO THE
COMMITTEE FOR DISCUSSION AND
QUESTIONS.
>> GREAT.
>> LET'S START HERE AND YOU CAN
TELL US A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT
YOUR BACKGROUND AND MR.
SHERMAN.
YOU SPENT VOLUNTEER TIME ON
THIS BOARD.
>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME
HERE. I
WENT INTO PEDIATRICS 30 YEARS
AGO WITH THE GOAL OF WORKING ON
THE HEALTH OF THE PEDIATRIC
POPULATION AND THROUGH MY TIME
AT CRUISE HELP BUT HAD VARIOUS
ROLES.
I WAS ALWAYS LOOKING FOR
OPPORTUNITIES TO ADDRESS HEALTH
AND EQUITY AND IMPROVE THE
HEALTH OF OUR POPULATION.
THAT IS CONTINUING NOW THAT I
HAVE MOVED TO COMMUNITY HEALTH
PLAN OF WASHINGTON WHERE WE, AS
WELL AS SOME PEOPLE IN THE
COMMUNITY, ARE PAYING MORE AND
MORE ATTENTION TO THE
DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH AND HOW
WE CAN WORK ON THOSE TO IMPROVE
THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY TO
SERVE THE MARGINALIZED AND ALSO
AS A PETITE.
EXCUSE ME PEDIATRICIAN I HAVE
HAD A BIG INTEREST IN
EDUCATION.
SO I COULD HELP DECREASE HEALTH
AND EDUCATION IN EQUITIES.
>> THAT'S GREAT.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IS
CRITICAL FOR ME IN THE BOARD
AND FRANKLY THE POLICY AROUND
CREATING A TAX ON SWEETENED
BEVERAGES, IT'S A COMPLEX
POLICY ISSUE THAT A LOT OF US
STRUGGLE WITH.
IT CAME DOWN FIRMLY IN SUPPORT
OF IT.
LARGELY BECAUSE OF WHAT I HEARD
DIRECTLY FROM THE COMMUNITIES
MOST IMPACTED.
MOST IMPACTED BY EXCESS
CONSUMPTION OF THESE BEVERAGES,
THE COMMUNITIES ARE TARGETED
WITH MATERIALS AND IN A WAY
THAT THERE NOT GIVEN ACCESS TO
HEALTHY ALTERNATIVES.
THEN THE NEGATIVE OUTCOMES THAT
COME FROM BRINGING TOO MANY
SUGARY BEVERAGES.
THE CONCERN I HAD WAS THAT
ATTACKS THAT WOULD BE
REGRESSIVE OR
DISPROPORTIONATELY FALL ON
LOWER INCOME AND COMMUNITIES OF
COLORS.
THOSE ARE THE COMMUNITIES
CONSUMING THIS
DISPROPORTIONALLY.
IT WAS IMPORTANT THAT -- I
HEARD WE NEED TO DISCOURAGE THE
USE OF THESE PRODUCTS AND WE
NEED TO INVEST IN HEALTHIER
OPTIONS.
SO I GOT TO A PLACE WHERE I WAS
COMFORTABLE WITH A TAX THAT
WOULD BE DISPROPORTIONAL WITH
THE UNDERSTANDING THAT WE WOULD
INVEST THOSE TAX DOLLARS
DIRECTLY BACK INTO THOSE
COMMUNITIES AND WITH THE KIND
OF LEADERSHIP AND GUIDANCE FROM
COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND WHAT THE
BEST INVESTMENTS WERE.
THERE IS A LOT OF GREAT NEEDS
IN OUR COMMUNITY.
I SUPPORT ESPECIALLY AROUND
HOMELESSNESS AND HOUSING.
THOSE ARE VERY GOOD THINGS WE
HAVE RESOURCES FOR AND WE NEED
TO FIND A WAY TO INVEST.
I BELIEVE IT IS INAPPROPRIATE
TO TAKE THESE TAX DOLLARS THAT
ARE FALLING ON LOWER INCOME
COMMUNITIES AND USE THEM FOR
BROADER NEEDS.
WE WANT TO KEEP THOSE TAILORED.
THAT IS SOMETHING I WILL
CONTINUE TO LOOK AT.
I WILL LOOK FOR THE COMMITTEE
ON GUIDANCE TO WEAR THOSE
DOLLARS SHOULD GO.
WE ARE ALSO WORKING ON A BUDGET
THIS FALL AND BUDGET LANGUAGE
IN ANTICIPATES AND. WE WILL
MAKE IT CLEAR THAT WHATEVER
REVENUES WE COLLECT FROM THIS
NEEDS TO GO BACK INTO THOSE
COMMUNITIES.
IN YOUR EXPERIENCE I DON'T KNOW
HOW MUCH TAX POLICY YOU HAVE.
I'D LIKE TO HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS
ON THAT.
>> I SUPPORT EVERYTHING YOU
JUST SAID.
I WOULD SAY THE ONE THING I
WISH IS THAT THE TAX WAS
BRINGING IN LESS REVENUE
BECAUSE IT WAS HAVING MORE OF
AN IMPACT ON BEHAVIOR.
I'M REALLY GLAD THAT WE NEED TO
HAVE THE FUNDS FLOWING TO WHERE
THEY NEED TO GO TO AFFECT THOSE
INEQUITIES.
THE OTHER THING ATTRACTING ME
TO THE COMMITTEE WAS FOR THE
BOARD RATHER WAS THE CHARTER
WAS EXPLICIT ABOUT EVALUATING
WHAT WAS GOING ON AND IF WE
WERE BEING EFFECTIVE WITH THE
LEGISLATION AND THE DOLLARS.
THAT APPEALS TO THE SCIENTIST
IN ME.
>> THAT'S GREAT.
I ALSO APPRECIATE THAT.
WE HAVE HAD SOME GOOD
PRELIMINARY REPORTS.
I LOOK FORWARD TO GETTING MORE
INFORMATION FROM THE COMMITTEE.
COLLEAGUES, DO YOU HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS FOR THE DOCTOR?
>> NO.
I THINK IT WAS VERY
INFORMATIVE. I
ALSO STRUGGLED A LOT WITH A TAX.
WE ARE IN THE CITY WITH THE
MOST REGRESSIVE TAX SYSTEM IN
THE ENTIRE NATION.
WE ARE ALSO IN THE WAKE OF AN
AMAZON TAX REPEAL. I
ALSO STRUGGLED WITH IT AND I
VOTED NO BECAUSE SOME OF THE
COMMUNITY MEMBERS FOUGHT FOR
THIS AND DID NOT LIKE SOME
ASPECTS THAT APPEARED IN IT.
HERE WE ARE.
I REALLY LIKE TO HEAR THE
MEMBERS OF THE ADVISORY BOARD,
I KNOW YOU ARE COMMITTED TO
MAKING SURE THE TAXES ARE IN
PLACE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
ACTUALLY USE IT IN SERVICE OF
THE COMMUNITIES THAT IT IS
MEANT TO SERVE, NOT AS A
REVENUE COLLECTION SET OF
TOOLS.
IT IS NOT.
AT THAT TIME THERE WERE A LOT
OF PEOPLE WHO WERE USING THE
TERM, SIN TAX.
THAT IS A POOR TERMINOLOGY.
I THOUGHT WE WERE NOT DOING
THAT ANYMORE.
THANK YOU.
>> PART OF THIS IS -- I HAVE
BEEN HERE FOR A MONTH.
>> TIME IS FLYING.
>> I HAVE A GREAT SENSE.
REALLY, I AM KEY ON SEEING
SOMEONE WHO IS REALLY INVESTED
IN TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT THE
INTENDED OUTCOME GOES BACK INTO
COMMUNITIES DISPROPORTIONALLY
IMPACTED.
THANK YOU.
>> THAT'S GREAT.
>> WE ARE EXCITED FOR YOU TO
JOIN.
I REALLY -- THERE IS A LOT OF
PRESSURE ON THIS GROUP TO DO
THIS RIGHT IN TERMS OF MAKING
SMART INVESTMENTS.
I HAVE A LOT OF FAITH IN YOU
AND YOUR COMMITTEE.
HOPEFULLY WE CAN MANAGE THIS SO
THAT MONEY DIMINISHES
SIGNIFICANTLY.
THAT WOULD BE THE ULTIMATE
GOAL.
THERE WILL BE BUDGETARY
PRESSURE ON THAT AND I INVITE
YOU AND OTHER COMMITTEE MEMBERS
TO SPEAK TRUTHFULLY TO ALL THE
ELECTED OFFICIALS ON ONE LIFE
HAS TO DO AND WE WILL DO OUR
BEST TO LIVE UP TO THAT.
I WILL MOVE APPOINTMENT 01352.
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY
THOSE OPPOSED SAY
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
THIS WILL COME BEFORE THE
FORMAL EXCUSE ME FULL COUNCIL
TUESDAY. I APPRECIATE YOU
TAKING YOUR TIME OUT OF YOUR
DAY AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR
COMMITMENT TO THE COMMUNITY.
>> APPT 01353 APPOINTMENT OF
BRYCE KOLTON AS MEMBER, SEATTLE
TRANSIT ADVISORY BOARD, FOR A
TERM TO AUGUST 2, 2020.
HELLO, WELCOME.
>> I'M VERY SORRY FOR MY BAD
BATMAN IMPERSONATION.
>> WILL GET THE LEGO FIGURES
OUT.
>> WAIT UNTIL I START LAUGHING
IT'S LIKE THE WHEEZY TOY FROM
TOY STORY.
>> ALL RIGHT.
SO MY NAME IS BRYCE COLTON.
I'VE BEEN IN THE AREA OF MY
INTERNAL EXCUSE ME ENTIRE LIFE.
I AM ON THE WATERFRONT IN A
STARTUP AREA BACKED BY MERCEDES-
BENZ AND WORKING THROUGH
TECHNICAL ASPECTS OF DEPLOYING
APPLICATIONS TO CARS.
I AM A BICYCLIST.
I DON'T OWN A CAR.
I USE TRANSIT AND BIKES TO GET
EVERYWHERE.
THAT IS WHERE MY VALUES LIE
WHEN IT COMES TO THE URBAN
FORMAT.
I GOT INTO THE PLANNING ASPECT
AND TRANSPORTATION AFTER TAKING
A CLASS IN COLLEGE AND HAVE
VOLUNTEER WITH SEATTLE SUBWAY,
THE URBAN AND THE SADDLE
TRANSIT LOGO A LITTLE BIT.
IT IS AN HONOR TO BE HERE
BEFORE YOU TODAY.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> ALL RIGHT,.
>> I AM BENJAMIN SMITH.
WHAT DOES THE ADVISORY BOARD DO
?
>> THEY ARE RELATIVELY NEW AND
FORMED BY THE COUNCIL IN 2015.
IT IS CHARGED WITH ADVISING
METRO IN TRANSIT ON ISSUES
RELATING TO TRANSIT AND HAS A
ROLE TO DO OVERSIGHT OF THE
BENEFIT DISTRICT FUNDING
APPROVED BY VOTERS IN NOVEMBER
2014 TO HELP THE CITY FUND
EXTRA METRO SERVICE.
THE BOARD HAS 12 MEMBERS, SIX
APPOINTED BY THE MAYOR AND 5 BY
COUNSEL.
WE RECENTLY HAD A RESIGNATION
OF AN ORIGINAL BOARD MEMBER SO
WE HAD THIS VACANCY AND BRYCE
HAD APPLIED LAST YEAR WHEN WE
HELP AN OPEN CALL FOR
APPOINTMENTS AT THAT TIME.
HE IS STILL INTERESTED AND ABLE
TO SERVE SO HE IS HERE WITH US
TODAY.
>> RICE HAD A CHANCE TO SEE YOU
IN THE COMMUNITY AND APPRECIATE
YOUR PASSION FOR THIS.
I THAT SHOULD SOUNDS LIKE YOU
HAVE A FASCINATING JOB WITH
TECHNOLOGY AND TRANSPORTATION.
IT IS GREAT THAT PEOPLE ARE
THINKING ABOUT THAT.
>> ONE BIG THING IS THAT THE
TRANSIT ADVISORY BOARD IS THE
PUBLIC STEWARD OF THE
TRANSPORTATION BENEFIT
DISTRICT.
THOSE FUNDS ARE -- THE INITIAL
FUNDING WILL WILL EXPIRE THE
BEGINNING OF NEXT YEAR.
IT GENERATES ABOUT $50 MILLION
PER YEAR AND ABOUT 40 MILLION
GOES TO BUY ADDITIONAL TRANSIT.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY
THOUGHTS THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO
SHARE WITH US?
>> I HAVE SEEN TALK ABOUT
TRYING TO GO BACK TO THE
COUNTY.
THIS IS THE SAME BOAT THAT WAS
DONE AFTER THE COUNTY REJECTED
THE PREVIOUS VOTE.
>> RIGHT.
>> I WASN'T DIRECTLY IN
POLITICS THEN.
I DON'T REMEMBER MUCH ABOUT
THAT.
I HAVE SEEN THAT SINCE THIS WAS
A SUCCESS WE MAY BE ABLE TO GO
TO THE COUNTY LEVEL AND GET A
COHESIVE STRUCTURE.
THE TIMELINES WORK OUT SO WE
COULD GO TO THE COUNTY IF THEY
DON'T APPROVE IT WE COULD THROW
SOMETHING ON THE BALLOT FOR
SPRING.
IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE THE
COUNTY KICK IN TOGETHER SO WE
CAN TIE THE REGION TOGETHER
WITH TRANSPORTATION SOLUTIONS.
>> I AGREE.
A CHALLENGE IS THAT SEATTLE IS
THE DENSEST PART OF THE CITY
TENDS TO BE THE MOST SUPPORTED.
FURTHER FROM THE CORE SUPPORT
FALLS OFF A LITTLE BIT.
WE DO NEED A REGIONAL SOLUTION.
WE HAVE THE THREE COUNTY
REGIONAL SOLUTION.
SO HOW DO WE GET AS MUCH
SERVICE FOR EVERYONE AND ALSO
RECOGNIZE THE PEOPLE IN THE
CITY ARE WILLING TO PAY MORE
FOR HIGHER LEVEL OF SERVICE.
THAT IS A BALANCING ACT THAT
HOPEFULLY WE CAN WALK.
IT WILL BE SOMETHING THAT THE
COMMISSIONER WILL BE WEIGHING
IN ON.
>> YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS
COLLEAGUES?
>> THANK YOU FOR BEING WILLING
TO SERVE ON THE BOARD.
I USED TO LIVE ON CAPITOL HILL
MYSELF.
WE WERE DEPENDENT ON PUBLIC
TRANSIT ENTIRELY FOR SEVERAL
YEARS.
THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO
DO THAT STILL.
I ALSO HEAR FROM A LOT OF
PEOPLE THAT THERE ARE MANY
COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO WOULD
LIKE TO ENTIRELY DEPEND ON
TRANSIT BUT ARE UNABLE TO
BECAUSE IT IS NOT -- GIVEN THE
CURRENT DENSITY AND FREQUENCY
THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO GET ABOUT
THEIR DAY IN A REALISTIC MANNER
AND WILL USE TRANSIT OFTEN BUT
ARE NOT ABLE TO DO THAT ON A
REGULAR BASIS, ESPECIALLY FOR
GETTING TO WORK.
THERE WAS AN ARTICLE THAT
REPORTED STATISTICS ABOUT HOW
TO PLAY -- SURVEY RESPONDENTS
SAID IT IS QUICKER TO GET TO
WORK IS LESS TIME IN YOUR OWN
VEHICLE.
IT DOESN'T HELP PEOPLE MAKE THE
DECISION TO DO IT WHEN IT TAKES
LONGER.
WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF AND
HOW CAN THE BOARD PLAY A ROLE IN
ADVOCATING FOR A MAJOR
EXPANSION OF PUBLIC TRANSIT.
THERE IS NO DOUBT IN OUR MIND
THAT SEATTLE AND THE PEOPLE,
THEY LOVE TRANSIT. THERE IS NO
QUESTION ABOUT THAT.
THE KIND OF PEOPLE SHOWN DURING
THE SQUEEZE.
EVEN THOUGH OVERALL FUNDING HAS
NOT KEPT UP AND THERE WERE CUTS
AND THERE IS STILL AN OVER
RELIANCE AND RIDERSHIP HAS GONE
UP STEADILY OVER TIME.
SO IT IS A LONG-WINDED QUESTION
BUT GIVEN ALL THE OF THIS
CONTEXT HOW YOU SEE THE ADVISORY
ROLE AND YOUR OWN ROLE TO DO A
MAJOR EXPANSION AND WHAT ARE
YOUR VIEWS ON MAKING IT FREE,
POINT TO POINT.
>> SO EVEN AS SOMEONE WHO
BELIEVES THAT TRANSIT IS GOING
TO BE THE NECESSARY BACKBONE
FOR A TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM IT
IS FOOLISH TO SAY THAT CARS ARE
NOT GOING TO BE PART OF THE
SOLUTION.
THEY MAY PLAY A LARGER OR
SMALLER ROLE BUT THEY ARE NOT
GOING AWAY.
THEY ARE TOOL IN THE TOOLBOX.
WHEN IT COMES TO ADVOCATING ON
THE TRANSIT ADVISORY BOARD, I
BELIEVE THERE IS GOING TO BE A
LOT OF NETWORKING
RESPONSIBILITIES ON THE BOARD.
WE WILL BUILD CONSENSUS BEHIND
A COUNTYWIDE TRANSPORTATION
BENEFIT BOAT OR WORK WITH
COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO MAKE SURE
THAT WHEN WE VOTE ON SOMETHING
INDEPENDENT NEIGHBORHOODS STILL
STRIKE DOWN THE OVERALL WILL OF
THE VOTERS.
I FORGOT THE LAST QUESTION.
I'M SORRY.
>> IN GENERAL, HOW DO WE RAISE
PROGRESSIVE REVENUES AND MY
OFFICE IS ADVOCATING FOR IT BUT
I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE MAKING
TRANSIT FREE AND ENDING
PENALTIES FOR -- [ INAUDIBLE ].
THEIR EVASION, IT DOESN'T MAKE
MUCH SENSE.
WERE REVENUE SOURCES, I
DEFINITELY SUPPORT THAT.
>> IT'S GOOD YOU ARE NOT A
LOBBYIST.
>> SO YES.
I CAN'T GIVE A SPECIFIC IDEA OF
HOW I WOULD DO THAT.
IF THE OPPORTUNITY PRESENTS
ITSELF I WOULD BE SURE TO
SUPPORT A MORE AGGRESSIVE
REVENUE SOURCE.
>> THANK YOU.
I HAVE GONE CAR FREE MYSELF.
I APPRECIATE YOU BEING CAR FREE.
COUNCILMAN O'BRIEN HAS SAID
BEFORE HOW WE CAN GET YOUNG
PEOPLE INVOLVED THEN CALL THEM
TO ACTION.
I SEE YOUR RESUME AND YOUR
INVOLVEMENT BOTH BEING INVOLVED
IN STAYING INVOLVED. PLEASE, I
WANT TO BE AS ENCOURAGING AS I
CAN BE.
I WANT TO ASK ABOUT YOUR
CONTINUED ADVOCACY AND WHERE
YOUR POSITION IS ON SCOOTERS.
HOW DO YOU SEE THAT PERHAPS
PLAYING INTO YOUR CAR FREE
LIFESTYLE.
>> I HAVE A RELATIVELY INFORMED
OPINION.
WE HAVE LOOKED AT STUDIES AND
NOT SUCCESSFUL ROLLOUTS.
ANY OPINION I VOICE NOW IS
SOMEWHAT UNINFORMED.
IF I WERE FORCED TO TAKE A STAB
AT IT I WOULD SAY SCOOTERS CAN
LARGELY BE USED IN MUCH THE
SAME WAY AS A BICYCLE.
THEY HAVE MUCH OF THE SAME
SPEED LIMITS AND CAN USE THE
INFRASTRUCTURE.
THEY WILL GO AT SIMILAR SPEEDS.
I BELIEVE THEY CAN BE PART OF
THE LAST MILE IF THEY LIVE
RIGHT ON THE EDGE OF WHAT COULD
BE A SUCCESSFUL LOCATION.
MANY COWORKERS LIVE IN THE
CREEK AREA AND IF THEY HAD A
SCOOTER THEY WOULD CUT DOWN
ENCOURAGING THAT TYPE OF SAFE
ROLLOUT WHERE PEOPLE OF ALL
AGES CAN USE STRAIGHT EXCUSE ME
STREETS SUCCESSFULLY WHILE
REALIZING THE DEFAULT OF FOSSIL
FUELS IS IN LINE WITH MY VALUES
AND WHAT I THINK WE SHOULD BE
WORKING TOWARD.
I THINK WE HAVE HAD SUCCESSFUL
ROLLOUTS IN MANY CITIES.
>> LASTLY, I SAW YOU SPEAK A
LITTLE BIT OF SPANISH AND
MANDARIN.
I HOPE YOU CAN USE YOUR SKILL
SET TO ENCOURAGE OR RECRUIT AS
THOSE VACANCIES COME UP FROM
COMMUNITIES MIGHT BE REFLECTIVE
AND SPEAK THOSE LANGUAGES AS
WELL.
>> I HOPE SO WELL.
MY MANDARIN IS SUPER BROKEN BUT
MY SPANISH IS PRETTY GOOD.
>> TRASHIEST.
>> THANK YOU. DESPITE YOUR
BATMAN VOICE TODAY I CAN TELL
YOUR PASSION AND COMMITMENT AND
THOUGHTFUL ISSUES.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO HAVING YOU
ON THE BOARD.
IF THERE IS NOTHING ELSE, I
WILL MOVE AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 2.
>> SECOND.
LIKE ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY I.
>> ALL RIGHT.
WE WILL SEE YOU NEXT WEEK.
>> OKAY.
AT AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 3? CB
119512 AN ORDINANCE RELATING
TO THE CITY
AUTHORIZING ACCEPTANCE OF
FUNDING FROM NON-CITY SOURCES;
AUTHORIZING THE HEADS OF THE
SEATTLE DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION AND SEATTLE
CENTER TO ACCEPT SPECIFIED
GRANTS AND TO EXECUTE, DELIVER,
AND PERFORM CORRESPONDING
AGREEMENTS FOR AND ON BEHALF OF
THE CITY; AMENDING ORDINANCE
125724, WHICH ADOPTED THE 2019
BUDGET, INCLUDING THE 2019-2024
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
(CIP); CHANGING APPROPRIATIONS
TO THE SEATTLE DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION IN VARIOUS
BUDGET CONTROL LEVELS, AND FROM
VARIOUS FUNDS IN THE 2019
BUDGET; ADDING NEW PROJECTS TO
THE 2019-2024 CIP; REVISING
PROJECT ALLOCATIONS FOR CERTAIN
PROJECTS IN THE 2019-2024 CIP;
MAKING CASH TRANSFERS BETWEEN
THE GENERAL FUND AND THE
TRANSPORTATION FUND; AND
RATIFYING AND CONFIRMING
CERTAIN PRIOR ACTS; ALL BY A
3/4 VOTE OF THE CITY COUNCIL.
GREAT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.>> WE WILL
START WITH INTRODUCTIONS.>>
KRIS CASTLEMAN AND KRISTEN
SIMPSON, SDOT I WILL TELL YOU
I HAVE A SMALL AMENDMENT I WILL
PROPOSE AT THE END TO BROADEN
THE ACCEPTANCE AND TO ALLOW FOR
THE POSSIBILITY THAT ADDITIONAL
FUNDING MIGHT COME IN THE NEAR
FUTURE AND TRYING TO STREAMLINE
THAT.
I'LL TALK ABOUT THAT AT THE END
OF YOUR PRESENTATION.
>> I WANT TO THANK YOU BECAUSE
YOU PRETTY MUCH TOOK CARE OF
OUR FIRST SLIDE.
THIS IS A RELATIVELY ROUTINE
ACTION WE ARE BRINGING FORWARD.
THIS COMMITTEE IS FAMILIAR WITH
THE GRANT ACCEPTANCE PROCESS
FOR AS THAT ON AN ANNUAL BASIS
ALLOWING US TO FORMALLY RECEIVE
GRANTS OR ACCEPT GRANTS THAT WE
HAVE BEEN AWARDED AND THE
APPLICATION TO THOSE GRANTS
PREVIOUSLY AUTHORIZED BY THE
COUNCIL.
WE ARE DOING THAT TODAY AND IN
A FEW MINUTES KRISTIN WILL BE
GOING THROUGH THAT IN A LITTLE
MORE DETAIL.
WE ARE ALSO APPROPRIATING FUNDS
RELATED TO PREVIOUSLY EXECUTED
FUNDING AGREEMENTS WITH
EXTERNAL, CITY AND PARTNERS AND
WE ARE CREATING CAPITAL PROJECTS
IN OUR CIP FOR 2019.
THE LAST TWO ACTIONS ARE
ACTIONS THAT NORMALLY THE
COUNCIL WOULD TAKE UP AS PART
OF THE FIRST-QUARTER
SUPPLEMENTAL PROCESS.
BECAUSE THE CITY ELECTED NOT TO
DO THE SUPPLEMENTAL WE ARE
BRINGING THOSE ACTIONS COMBINED
WITH THE GRANTS ACCEPTANCE TO
THIS COMMITTEE TODAY.
>> OKAY.
SO AS I STATED, KRISTIN IS
GOING TO GO OVER THE STATE AND
FEDERAL GRANTS ACCEPTANCE IN
JUST A MOMENT.
THAT'S $33.7 MILLION.
úIN SOME CASES, WE ASK AT THE
SAME TIME AS ACCEPTANCE WE ASK
FOR ADDITIONAL PROPITIATION
AUTHORITY TO SPEND THE MONEY
WHEN THAT IS NEEDED.
PART OF THE FUNDING AGREEMENTS
WE ARE LOOKING AT ADDITIONALLY
IN THIS ORDINANCE ARE RELATED
TO $33.7 MILLION BUT NOT
ENTIRELY.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE FUNDING
AGREEMENTS WE HAVE A TOTAL OF
$16.2 MILLION FROM A VARIETY OF
DIFFERENT PARTNERS FOR PROJECTS
YOU ARE ALREADY FAMILIAR WITH
AND WE ARE ADDING CIP PROJECTS
ONE IS FOR THE SOUND TRANSIT
BENEFIT DISTRICT EXCUSE ME
SEATTLE TRANSPORTATION DISTRICT
WHICH YOU SPOKE ABOUT
PREVIOUSLY AND THE NORTH OF
DOWNTOWN MOBILITY ACTION PLAN.
>> AND, THE DETAILS FOR THOSE
ARE IN THE ORDINANCE AND FISCAL
AND SUMMARY NOTE.
IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS WE WILL
BE HAPPY TO TAKE THEM NOW.
KRISTIN WILL WALK YOU THROUGH
THE GRANTS.
>> WE ARE ACCEPTING 12 GRANTS
FROM STATE AND FEDERAL SOURCES.
THOSE ARE LISTED ON THE SLIDE
AND IN YOUR PACKETS.
EVERYTHING FROM SAFE HOMES AND
CROSSING GUARDS, THERE ARE
DIFFERENT GRANTS FOR THE EAST
MARGINAL WAY PROJECT AND A
COUPLE OF FUNDING INFUSIONS
FROM FDA FOR THE MONITOR WAY
EXCUSE ME MONORAIL.
THAT IS A GRANT THAT COMES TO
US BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF
SERVICE AND MILEAGE WE HAVE ON
THOSE.
IT IS SORT OF A GRANT AND SORT
OF NOT BUT WE CAN HAVE
MAINTENANCE FUNDING FOR THOSE
SERVICES.
>> OKAY.
THAT IS IN A NUTSHELL WHAT THIS
ORDINANCE IS ALL ABOUT.
I BELIEVE COUNCILMEMBER O'BRIEN
YOU HAD AN AMENDMENT YOU WANT
TO PUT FORWARD?
>> I DO.
SEATTLE DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION DOES GREAT WORK.
I APPRECIATE THE TEAM THAT IS
KEEPING AN EYE OUT FOR
OPPORTUNITIES TO GET MATCHING
FUNDING FROM OTHER
ORGANIZATIONS AND APPRECIATE
YOUR WORK TO DESIGN PROJECTS
THAT ARE CONSISTENT WITH VALUES
AND GOALS OF THE CITY AND SCORE
WELL ON THIS LEVEL AND HAVE
SEEN THIS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE
REGION.
AND S.IS VERY COMPETITIVE.
THAT IS GREAT.
ONE OF THE OPPORTUNITIES WE HAVE
, YOU CAN SEE A COUPLE PIECES
OF IT UP THERE.
THE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT
BOARD DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
BY FACILITY.
THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO, A
MAJOR PROJECT ON EAST MARGINAL
WAY.
THIS IS BETWEEN SPOKANE STREET
AND WEST SEATTLE AND PIONEER
SQUARE.
THE ROAD ITSELF IS IN PRETTY
POOR SHAPE.
IT IS PART OF THE HEAVY HAUL
CORRIDOR.
IT IS A SERIES OF ROADS IS
DESIGNED TO A MUCH HIGHER
STANDER SO THAT HEAVIER TRUCKS
FROM THE PORT CAN USE THOSE
FACILITIES.
THEY HAVE DIFFERENT CHASSIS
WITHOUT DOING DAMAGE TO THE
ROAD.
THAT FACILITY NEEDS A REBUILD.
THAT IS A SIGNIFICANT
INVESTMENT.
IT'S ALSO A MAJOR BIKE CORRIDOR
BECAUSE OF WHERE IT IS LOCATED.
IT IS VERY -- WE SHOW THE
GRAPHIC OF BIKING ON 35th.
IT WILL BE RATED X TO SHOW
BIKING ON THESE MARTIAL WAYS.
THERE ARE PROFESSIONAL DRIVERS
IN BIG RIGS AND BICYCLISTS AND
REGULAR PEOPLE IN VEHICLES.
IT'S FAIRLY CHAOTIC.
IT CAN BE TERRIFYING AT TIMES.
MY UNDERSTANDING IS AN
OPPORTUNITY TO DO THE PROJECT
IN TWO PHASES.
SOME MONEY WE RECEIVED NEEDS TO
BE INVESTED RELATIVELY SOON AND
THE ROADWAY PROJECT WE ARE
STILL MISSING A LITTLE BIT OF
MONEY SO WE NEED TO DO
FUNDRAISING TO GET THAT.
WE HAVE A LONGER TIMELINE.
WE CAN STAGE THIS WORK.
THERE IS ANOTHER SET OF
INVESTMENT MONEY THAT WOULD
COME FROM THE PUGET SOUND
REGIONAL COUNCIL.
THIS DID NOT QUITE GET FUNDED
BUT IF ANY OF THE OTHER
PROJECTS CAN'T HAPPEN IN THIS
TIME.
SEATTLE WOULD BE THE NEXT ONE
TO GET FUNDING.
IN ANTICIPATION THAT SOMETHING
MIGHT HAPPEN AND IN MOST YEARS
SOMETHING DOES HAPPEN I WOULD
LIKE TO AMEND THIS TO ALSO
PROVE A CONTINGENT RECEIPT SO
THAT IF THAT MONEY COMES
THROUGH YOU CAN JUST ACCEPT
THAT.
WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THAT
HAPPEN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
THIS IN FRONT OF YOU, IT HAS
WHEREAS CLAUSES AND HAS A
SECTION 7 WHICH SAYS THE
DIRECTOR IS AUTHORIZED TO
ACCEPT UP TO $4 MILLION OF NON-
CITY FUNDING FROM THE PUGET
SOUND REGIONAL COUNCIL FOR
THESE MARGINAL WAY HEAVY HAUL
PROJECT CONTINUED UPON RECEIPT
OF FINAL WORD FROM THAT
COUNSEL.
THEY SHALL BE DEPOSITED IN THE
TRANSPORTATION FUND AND THE
NUMBER IS 13000 WHICH I ASSUME
IS A GENERAL LEDGER CODE.
THAT IS DEFINITELY ABOVE MY PAY
GRADE TO FIGURE THAT OUT.
I TRUST YOU ON THAT ONE.
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I MISSED
ON THE DESCRIPTION OF THAT?
>> COLLEAGUES, IF YOU ARE OKAY
WITH THIS I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE
AMENDMENT NUMBER ONE TO COUNCIL
BILL 119512.
>> SECONDED.
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY
THOSE OPPOSED SAY
>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THIS
NOW AMENDED BILL?
>> OKAY.
WHY DON'T WE GO AHEAD AND MOVE
THIS AS AMENDED.
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY
THOSE OPPOSED SAY
>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK ON
THIS.
KEEP BRINGING US THESE.
>> WE LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING
WORD THAT FUNDING COMES THROUGH
FROM PUGET SOUND.
>> OKAY.
DO YOU WANT TO READ NUMBER 4?
>> CF 314380 PETITION OF
TRINITY TRAILSIDE, LLC, FOR THE
VACATION OF A PORTION OF
NORTHEAST 48th STREET LYING
BETWEEN 24th AVENUE NORTHEAST
AND THE BURKE GILMAN TRAIL.
>> THERE IS AN AUSPICIOUS GROUP
SITTING DOWN IN FRONT OF ME.
DO YOU MIND STARTING
INTRODUCTIONS?
>> PRESENTERS: BEVERLY BARNETT,
SDOT; MICHAEL JENKINS, SEATTLE
DESIGN COMMISSION; CHIP NEVIS,
SEATTLE PARKS DEPARTMENT; MARK
BRANDS, SITE WORKSHOP; LISH
WHITSON, COUNCIL CENTRAL STAFF
WE HAVE THE WHOLE BRAIN TRUST
OF THE CITY HERE.
>> WE HAVE MORE IN THE AUDIENCE
AS WELL.
>> ALL RIGHT.
YOU WANT TO KICK US OFF?
>> SURE.
STREET VACATIONS.
AS A REMINDER PROPERTY OWNERS
HAVE THE RIGHT TO PETITION THE
CITY TO REQUIRE STREET RIGHT
AWAY ABUTTING THEIR PROPERTY.
THIS PETITION WAS FILED BEFORE
WE UPDATED THE STREET VACATION
POLICIES LAST NIGHT EXCUSE ME
LAST YEAR.
IT HAS GONE THROUGH REVIEW BY
CITY DEPARTMENTS AND THE DESIGN
COMMISSION TO MAKE SURE IT
ADDRESSES THE CITY'S GOALS FOR
PROTECTION OF UTILITIES, LIGHT,
AIR, OPEN SPACE AND VIEWS.
UNDER THE PREVIOUS VACATION
POLICIES ON SITE PUBLIC
BENEFITS ARE PREFERRED.
THAT IS WHAT PROVIDED UNDER
THIS PETITION.
>> WE ARE STILL IN A BIT OF A
TRANSITION. IT WAS OVER A YEAR
AGO FOR ABOUT A YEAR AGO THAT
WE PASSED NEW POLICIES ABOUT
STREET VACATION AND HOW THOSE
PROJECTS COME TO THE CITY
COUNCIL AND THE COMMISSION.
THESE PROJECTS ARE MULTIPLE
YEARS.
WE WILL HEAR MORE OF THESE THAT
WERE IN UNDER THE DEADLINE.
WE ARE IN THIS LITTLE STRADDLE.
BUT LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING
THIS.
YES.
I WANTED TO SAY COUPLE OF
THINGS.
I THINK LISH COVERED THE
AUTHORITY THAT THE CITY COUNCIL
HAS AND WHILE THE STATE HAS
DELEGATED AUTHORITY TO CITY
COUNCIL SO THEY MAKE EVERY
DECISION BUT THEY DID NOT
ESTABLISH CRITERIA.
WHAT WE USED TO REVIEW
VACATIONS IS THE ADOPTED STREET
VACATION POLICY AND IT WAS
REVISED LAST MAY.
WE ARE JUST MOVING INTO THE NEW
POLICIES. S.HAS BEEN ASKED TO
ADMINISTER THE PROGRAM FOR THE
CITY COUNCIL SO WE NEED TO GO
THROUGH THE POLICIES, ANALYZE
THE PROJECT AND WE WILL TALK
ABOUT SOME OF THE PROCEDURAL
REVIEWS PARTICULARLY WITH THE
DESIGN COMMISSION AND WE BRING
FORWARD A RECOMMENDATION. STATE
LAW REQUIRES A PUBLIC HEARING
BE HELD BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL
CAN MAKE A DECISION.
AFTER WE DO THE PRESENTATION
TODAY, THERE -- THIS WAS NOTED
AS A PUBLIC HEARING AS WELL.
WE ARE VERY HAPPY TO BE HERE
TODAY BECAUSE THIS PROJECT WAS
LONG IN COMING.
I THINK THIS MAY BE THE VERY
LAST PROJECT YOU WILL SEE UNDER
THE OLD POLICIES AND THIS
PROJECT WAS INTERESTED IN
ADDRESSING DENSITY.
THEY WANTED TO PROVIDE MORE
HOUSING ON SITE AND BEGAN WORK
WITH THE CONTRACTOR REZONE AND
THAT MEANS THE PROJECT IS
QUASIJUDICIAL.
WE DON'T BRING FORWARD THE
RECOMMENDATION UNTIL THE
JUDICIAL ACTION HAS BEEN
COMPLETED AND IN THIS CASE, THE
COUNCIL FINISHED ITS WORK ON
THE MANDATORY HOUSING BEFORE
THE CONTRACT REZONE.
THIS PROJECT OUT DROPPED THE
CONTRACT REZONE AND IS IN
COMPLIANCE WITH NEW HOUSING
REGULATIONS TO ACHIEVE DENSITY
AND WE WILL BE PAYING INTO THE
MHA FUND.
NOW THAT WORK IS COMPLETD AND
WE CAN BRING VACATION
RECOMMENDATION FORWARD.
WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS
FOR A WHILE.
WE ARE READY TO BE HERE AND
THEY ARE READY TO START WITH
THE STUDENT HOUSING.
I THINK WITH THAT AS BACKGROUND
WE ARE GOING TO HAVE MARK GO
THROUGH THE PROJECT AND THEN WE
WENT TO HEAR FROM PARKS
DEPARTMENT AND MICHAEL ON THE
DESIGN COMMISSION REVIEW AND AT
THE VERY END I WANTED TO MAKE A
COUPLE OF COMMENTS ABOUT THE
CONDITIONS RELATED TO WORK WITH
SP YOU AND PARKS ON OTHER
PERMITTING.
>> I THINK WE WERE GOING TO
JUMP INTO WHERE THAT SO WE CAN
SEE WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT.
>> GREAT.
A BRIEF SLIDESHOW IS ON THE
SCREEN.
I HAVE A LITTLE BACKGROUND AND
WE WILL TALK ABOUT VACATION AND
NO VACATION ALTERNATIVES AND
THEN JUMP INTO THE PUBLIC
BENEFITS WITH A MATRIX AT THE
END.
>> THIS PROPERTY IS ABOUT 2.5
ACRES.
WE PROPOSE VACATING A SECTION
OF NORTHEAST.
SHOOT ME NORTHEAST 48th STREET.
IT IS SERVING JUST A SMALL
COLLECTION OF THREE-STORY
APARTMENT BUILDINGS.
IT WAS LIKE A LITTLE PRIVATE
STREET.
IT IS LOCATED IN THE UNIVERSITY
DISTRICT AREA ON THE U VILLAGE
NEIGHBORHOOD JUST OFF OF 25th.
IT IS A LOOPING ROAD THAT IT
SITS ON.
IT IS, IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE A
PRIVATE DOMAIN.
IT DOES -- IT IS NOT CONNECTED
IN THE STREET GRID.
THIS IS THE VIEW OF THE
PROPERTY.
YOU CAN SEE THE EXISTING
BUILDINGS, A COLLECTION OF 3 TO
FOUR STORY WALK-UP APARTMENT
BUILDINGS.
YOU GET A SENSE OF THE LOOPING
ROAD OFF OF 25th AND THEN OFF
THE PACE TO THE LEFT IS THE
MOTOR POOL SITE FOR THE
UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON.
THEN HERE ARE IMAGES TAKEN FROM
THE BURKE.
THIS IS THE BOTTOM, NORTH AND
SOUTH.
THERE IS A CONNECTION TO THE
NEIGHBORHOOD UPSLOPE.
THERE WAS, WE HAD COMMUNICATION
WITH THE COMMUNITY ABOUT HAVING
CONNECTIONS ACROSS THE BURKE
AND INTO THE COMMERCIAL
DISTRICT.
WE DID REACH OUT.
I WAS SITTING ON THIS
COMMITTEE.
I DID BRING THAT TO OUR CLIENT,
EARLY.
IT WAS VERY EFFECTIVE.
THIS NEIGHBORHOOD DOES NOT HAVE
A SUPERSTRONG IDENTITY WITH
RESIDENTIAL.
THERE WAS A SUBSET THAT WE MET
WITH ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS.
WE TOOK THE CASCADE BICYCLE
CLUB.
THEN FEETFIRST AS WELL.
FEET FIRST DID NOT HAVE AN
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR SO WE USED A
COMMITTEE MEMBER.
THERE WAS EARLY INVOLVEMENT TO
DISCOVER WHERE WE MIGHT GO WITH
PUBLIC BENEFITS.
WE ALSO MET WITH CHIP AND SPU
AND GREEN SEATTLE PARTNERSHIP
RELATIVE TO RESTORATION
IMPROVEMENTS AND THEN NEIGHBORS
AND THE LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT. N
NEIGHBORING DEVELOPMENTS AS
WELL.
GRAY STAR AND U VILLAGE.
>> THE VACATION, NO VACATION
ALTERNATIVES UP ON THE SCREEN.
THE MAIN THING I WANT TO POINT
OUT IS THE CONNECTION FOR THE
NEIGHBORHOOD AND EXISTING
CONNECTION THAT USES 48 AS IT
EXISTS.
IT IS NOT ACCESSIBLE.
IT IS BASED ON SHIPPING THE
MASS OF THE PROJECT TO THE
NORTH WITH THE VACATION OF THE
STREET WHICH GIVES YOU THAT
DIRECT CONNECTION TO 25th.
IT ALSO WORKS IN TANDEM WITH
THE PARKING GARAGE.
THERE IS A DIRECT SIGNALIZED
CONNECTION TO THE UNIVERSITY
VILLAGE AND 25th AVENUE THAT
HAS TRANSIT.
THIS IS THE PROPOSAL.
THIS IS WHERE WE ARE TODAY.
I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH THE
BENEFITS.
I WANTED TO POINT OUT AND
MICHAEL MIGHT WANT TO TRY MEN,
IN OUR WORK WITH DESIGN
COMMISSION THERE WAS -- WE WENT
THROUGH TO URBAN DESIGN MERIT
MEETINGS.
THERE WAS CONCERN WITH THE NO
VACATION PROPOSAL AND WERE WE
úPUTTING OUR BEST FOOT FORWARD.
THE VACATION ALTERNATIVE IS
BETTER.
WE HAD A GOOD DISCUSSION ON
ABOUT THE OPEN SPACE.
WE CAN SHIFT THE MASS AROUND
AND GAIN THE BEST ASPECT FOR A
COMMERCIAL SPACE.
IT WAS AN OUTCOME OF THE PUBLIC
REALM DISCUSSION WITH DESIGN
COMMISSION.
>> DO YOU WANT TO GO BACK TO
THE SLIDE BEFORE.
I THINK THIS HITS ON SOME OF
THE CONCERNS RAISED BY THE
COMMISSION AND I THINK WITHOUT
QUESTION THE APPLICANT WAS ABLE
TO PROVIDE AN IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS
ABOUT THE VACATION AND NO
VACATION ALTERNATIVES RELATIVE
TO SOME OF THE FUNDAMENTAL
ISSUES
>> THE SITE PLAN, OPPORTUNITIES
FOR OPEN LAND AFFECTED BY
VACATION AND NO VACATION
ALTERNATIVE.
THE TEAM REALLY DID HELP
DEVELOP A POSITIVE NARRATIVE.
IF YOU VACATE THAT YOU CAN
SHIFT THE BUILDING UP IN A
MEANINGFUL WAY TO PROVIDE AN
OPEN SPACE CONNECTION THAT
CONNECTS TO THE TRAIL IN A MUCH
MORE MEANINGFUL WAY THAN THE
EXISTING RIGHT AWAY WOULD HAVE
OFFERED.
YET YOU CAN SEE THAT THE RIGHT
OF WAY UNDER THE VACATION
ALTERNATIVE IS IN THE SAME
PLACE JUST A LITTLE BIT NORTH.
YOU HAVE THE WIDTH OF THE RIGHT
AWAY OFFER BEFORE AND YOU HAVE
THE CHALLENGE. THE GRADE
CHANGES ARE SIGNIFICANT WERE
48th WAS.
YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO ACCESS
THE TRAIL IN A MEANINGFUL WAY.
IT CAUSED ACCESSIBILITY
CHALLENGES.
WE ACTUALLY, THERE WAS A
RIGOROUS SERIES OF ALTERNATIVES
WE WERE ASKING THEM TO PROVIDE
TO HELP THE COMMISSION GET TO
THAT FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION WHICH
IS, IF YOU TAKE THAT OUT OF
SERVICE, HOW IS THE PLAN AND
HOW ARE THE PUBLIC AMENITIES
THAT COULD BE DEVELOPED
PROTECTED AND ENHANCED IN A
MORE MEANINGFUL WAY THEN IF THE
RIGHT AWAY HAD BEEN RETAINED.
>> THANK YOU FOR WALKING US
THROUGH THAT.
>> AGAIN, THE VACATION
PROPOSAL, THERE ARE THREE EIGHT
STORY BUILDINGS OF STUDENT
HOUSING.
YOU CAN SEE THAT IN THE POP-UP
VIEW.
YOU WILL GET AN IDEA OF THE
MASS.
WE ARE PULLING THAT FURTHEST TO
THE NORTH TO GIVE VIEWS TO THE
PUBLIC CONNECTION.
AS MICHAEL MENTIONED IT WILL
SEEM LIKE AN EXTENSION OF THE
RIGHT AWAY. JUMPING TO THE
PUBLIC BENEFITS, THERE ARE 5.
HERE THEY ARE.
START WITH THE DIRECT
CONNECTION WE JUST SPOKE UP.
WE HAD THE GREAT FORTUNE OF
BEING ABLE TO WORK WITH ANOTHER
PROJECT, THE UNIVERSITY PARKING
GARAGE.
THEY WERE IMPROVING THE
INTERSECTION.
25th IS NOT GREAT.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD KNOWS IT.
THIS WAS AN IMPORTANT THING TO
THEM.
THEY WANTED US TO THINK ABOUT
THE OTHER INTERSECTION AS WELL.
WE FOCUSED ENERGY WHERE WE KNEW
WE COULD ACCOMPLISH. THIS FIRST
BENEFIT IS JUST THAT.
A 16 FOOT WIDE CONNECTION.
IT IS THAT YOU DON'T FIND THIS
ON THE BURKE.
YOU FIND SMALL CONNECTIONS.
WE HAD TO WORK ON THE ONES AT
CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL.
THAT WINDS ITS WAY DOWN.
THIS IS A GENEROUS CONNECTION.
IT IS A RAMP.
IT IS 8% AND MEETS ADA
REQUIREMENTS.
YOU DO HAVE A LANDING, 3 OF
THEM TO GET YOU DOWN TO STREET
GRADE.
THEN WE CONTINUE TO WORK WITH
US.ON SAFELY GETTING ACROSS.
THAT IS A QUIET STREET AT THE
CORNER OF 24th AND 47.
THE BIG ISSUE IS THE MOTOR
POOL.
THERE IS AN AB AND FLOW WHEN
VEHICLES ARE COMING IN AND OUT.
THERE WAS A COORDINATION.
WE DETERMINED COMING ACROSS
DIAGONALLY.
THIS IS A CURB LIST STREET. IN
ADDITION TO THAT, I WILL GET
THAT IN A MOMENT.
THERE IS A CONNECTION OFF-SITE.
WE CAN SHOW THAT ALL THE WAY TO
THE INTERSECTION.
THIS IS A CURB LIST STREET WE
ARE PROPOSING.
THE BENEFIT IS NOT THE FRONTAGE
IMPROVEMENTS, IF THE OTHER HALF
OF THE STREET.
FROM THE CENTERLINE DUE EAST WE
ARE IMPROVING THE ENTIRE AREA.
IT WAS CALLED THE SHARED USE
STREET.
NOW THERE IS A CURB LIST STREET
AND IT IS A STANDARD. IT MADE
IT EASIER TO ADOPT.
THIS IS A PEDESTRIAN ORIENTED
STREET.
WE HAVE PARALLEL PARKING.
THIS IS PARTICULARLY QUIET.
>> AN EXTENSION OF THAT, ON
47th WAS IMPORTANT AS A LINK TO
GET US TO THAT INTERSECTION.
IT IS REALIGNED.
IT GETS YOU DIRECTLY ACROSS THE
STREET INTO AN ADA CONNECTION
INTO THE VILLAGE.
THAT WAS IMPORTANT TO THE
NEIGHBORHOOD.
ANOTHER BENEFIT IS AMENITIES
ALONG THE TRAIL.
THESE ARE IMPORTANT IN THE
SENSE THAT WE DON'T GET THEM
OFTEN.
WE DON'T GET A WATER STATION.
WE DON'T GET ANY WAYFINDING.
OUR BENCH IS A RARITY.
A TRASH CAN.
WE PROPOSE THESE AND THE
NEIGHBORHOOD LIKE THAT.
HERE'S A RENDERING OF IT.
IT IS A BIKE FIX AT THE
STATION.
A BOTTLE FILLINGSTATION.
BENCH, TRASH, RECYCLE AND
WAYFINDING.
>> FOR PUBLIC BENEFIT IS
RESTORATION ON THE BIRTH.
YOU SEE THIS VERY. IT IS
ESSENTIALLY THE FRONTAGE WHICH
IS OFF-SITE AND WITHIN SPU
DIRECTLY FRONTING THE SITE.
I WILL AND ON WAYFINDING.
WE HAVE BEEN TRACKING THE
WAYFINDING PROGRAM WITH ASCOT.
IT IS IN A CONCEPTUAL FACE
RIGHT NOW.
>> I AM ON A STAKEHOLDER
MEETING FOR THAT.
WE ARE WAITING FOR GUIDELINES
TO COME OUT AND WE WILL USE
THEM TO DETERMINE LOCATION.
WE HAVE A RANGE OF SCIENCE PLUS
ONE KIOSK.
THAT IS WHAT IS UP ON SCREEN.
THEN I END ON THE PUBLIC
BENEFIT MATRIX.
I WON'T GO THROUGH THIS.
AVENUE YOU HAVE REQUESTED WE
PROVIDED COSTS IN THE RIGHT-
HAND COLUMN.
AND THAT IS THE END OF THE
PRESENTATION.
THANK YOU.
>> OKAY.
I AM HERE TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT
OF THE PUBLIC BENEFITS.
YOU PROBABLY ALL KNOW THE TRAIL
MANAGED BY THE PARKS
úDEPARTMENT.
ITS SUCCESS IS WELL THOUGHT
OUT.
WE WANT ACCESS POINTS WHERE
THEY ARE NEEDED.
THERE IS A CONNECTION TO THE
VILLAGE IN THIS PART OF THE
TRAIL IS LACKING ANY KIND OF
CONNECTION.
THIS IS A HUGE BENEFIT TO THE
TRAIL.
AS MARK SAID WE DON'T GET THOSE
AMENITIES ON THE TRAIL.
IT IS LIKE AN ON-RAMP TO A
HIGHWAY.
IT IS WIDER THERE.
THERE IS A PULL OUT PLACE FOR
BENCHES AND WATER STATION.
THERE IS A [ INAUDIBLE ] OF ALL
THE VEGETATION ALONG THE TRAIL.
THEY ARE EXCITED ABOUT THIS.
WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH MARK
AND HIS TEAM SINCE THE
BEGINNING AND WE HAVE ALL LEVEL
OF COMMENTS.
THEY HAVE BEEN THROUGH OUR
STANDARD REVIEW CYCLES AND THEY
HAVE MODIFIED THE PROJECT
ACCORDINGLY.
WE APPRECIATE THE COLLABORATIVE
RELATIONSHIP AND LOOK FORWARD
TO THESE IMPROVEMENTS.
>> ANYTHING ELSE FROM THE
DESIGN COMMISSION?
>> WE ALWAYS LOOK FOR THE BIG
MOVE.
WHERE IS THE EQUIVALENT VALUE?
I THINK IN THIS CASE IT IS
PRETTY CLEAR WHAT THE BIG MOVE
IS, IS NOT JUST THE CONNECTION
IT REALLY BENEFITS A VARIETY OF
USERS, PADS, BIKES, MUCH MORE
THAN WHAT YOU WOULD NORMALLY
SEE WITH JUST A SIMPLE
CONNECTION IT SAYS A GOOD
STANDARD FOR THE CITY TO
FOLLOW.
>> AS SOMEONE WHO USES MY BIKE
OCCASIONALLY AND IS
OCCASIONALLY GOING TO THE
VILLAGE, IT'S A HEAD SCRATCHER,
DO I CUT DOWN THAT ROAD?
GO OVER ONE OF THE OVERPASSES?
DO I GO AROUND THE BACKSIDE?
DO I SNEAK DOWN FROM THERE?
THEN THIS, THE WAY IT IS
PORTRAYED IT WILL BE LIKE THEIR
IS UNIVERSITY VILLAGE.
THAT'S THE WAY I GO.
IT WILL BE A LOGICAL AND
SHORTEST DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO
POINTS AND A SAFE CROSSING OF
AN ARTERIAL.
THE WIDE SPOT ON THE PATH, AN
OPPORTUNITY WITH THE BIKE FIX
IT STATION.
I HOPE THAT CAN BE MAINTAINED.
A WATER BOTTLE FILLING STATION
IS AWESOME.
AGAIN, THOSE WILL BE OWNED AND
MAINTAINED BY THE PARKS
DEPARTMENT OR BY THE PROPERTY
OWNER.
>> IN PERPETUITY BY THE
PROPERTY OWNER.
>> GREAT.
THAT IS OUTSTANDING.
IMAGINE. THANK YOU FOR DOING
THAT.
THE NOT PUBLIC BUT THE OPEN
SPACES AND JASON.
I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY ARE GOING
TO MANAGE THAT.
IT CERTAINLY LOOKS SOMEWHAT
INVITING. ARE THERE GOING TO BE
RULES?
>> IS NOT PART OF THE BENEFIT.
>> THERE WAS SOME UNCERTAINTY
ON THE PART OF TRAIL SITE HOW
EASY IT WOULD BE TO MANAGE.
THE VACATION REQUIRES IT BE
DESIGNED THAT IS WELCOMING TO
THE PUBLIC.
IT WON'T BE FENCE BUT IT WON'T
BE PROGRAMMED EITHER.
THEY ARE LOOKING AT SOME RETAIL
OPPORTUNITIES.
IF THERE IS A LITTLE COFFEE
SHOP OR, I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU
WANT WHEN YOU GET OFF THE TRAIL
, IT WOULD BE AVAILABLE TO
VERYONE.
IT IS NOT DEFINED AS A PUBLIC
BENEFIT SO THEY ARE NOT
OBLIGATED TO HAVE IT IN A
CERTAIN FASHION.
>> WE STARTED OUT WITH THE
FENCE.
THIS IS STUDENT HOUSING SO
SECURITY IS A CONCERN.
I THINK THE ANALOGY IS THE
STUDENT HOUSING IN THE DISTRICT
SIDE HAS BEEN SEEN -- IN THE
LAST FIVE YEARS THEY HAVE
ATRIUM COURTYARD SPACES THAT
FLOW THROUGH.
THERE IS A MODEST AMOUNT OF
RETAIL.
IT'S JUST THE END OF THE
BUILDING.
THAT WOULD BE AN ATTRACTION AND
I CAN IMAGINE THE CLIENT
PROGRAMMING THIS FROM TIME TO
TIME THERE WILL BE EVENTS.
WE ARE TRYING TO BE WELCOMING
AND IT IS SEMI PRIVATE SPACE.
IT'S LIKE THE FRONT YARD BUT AN
APPROACHABLE ONE.
>> I'M SORRY.
ONE SECOND.
THE STUDENT HOUSING IS THIS
PRIVATE?
>> YES.
THAT IS PRIVATE STUDENT
HOUSING.
IT IS A MULTI-BED UNIT.
>> THERE ARE ABOUT 265 UNITS
AND THE BEDROOMS WILL VARY FROM
TWO TO FIVE.
THERE IS BELOW GRADE PARKING AT
BIKE PARKING.
THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS FOR
THE VACATION TO PROVIDE
CONTINUITY BELOW GRADE SO THERE
ARE FEWER CURB CUTS AND VEHICLE
AND BIKE ENTRY POINTS.
THOSE ARE CHANNELED AT 49th.
>> I'M SORRY.
200 AND HOW MANY?
>> 265.
>> UNITS OR BEDS?
>> UNITS.
>> WE APPRECIATE THE ENGAGEMENT
WITH THE O'BRIEN ASSOCIATION.
I WAS AT A MEETING WHEN YOU
CAME.
>> ON SLIDE 20, VERY QUICKLY, I
WANT TO POINT TOWARD WHAT I
HAVE HEARD BEFORE. I'M CURIOUS
IF THIS CAME UP ABOUT POTTED
PUBLIC BENEFIT.
YOU HAVE FURTHER LIGHT.
IT WAS A CONVERSATION ABOUT
LIGHTING OR TRYING TO PROVIDE
LIGHTING?
>> THERE WAS.
TO THE RIGHT THERE ARE LIGHTS.>>
WHEN YOU SWING AROUND TO
BLAKELY PLACE THE CANOPY OF THE
TREES OBSCURES THEM.
IT IS AN EXCELLENT CUSHION FOR
EXCUSE ME QUESTION FOR CHIP.
THE BURKE IS MOSTLY UNLIT.
WHAT YOU HEAR FROM THE
NEIGHBORHOOD IS THAT THEY WOULD
RATHER WALK 1/25 OR EVEN CYCLE
ON IT BECAUSE IT IS LIT.
THAT'S A BROADER CONVERSATION.
WE DECIDED TO LIGHT THE
CONNECTION.
RIGHT AT THE CONNECTION AND
THEN DOWN TO THE INTERSECTION
TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE
MAJORITY OF THE BURKE.
THAT WAS A CONSCIOUS DECISION
COLLECTIVELY.
>> IS THERE A SPECIFIC POLICY
TO NOT LIKE THESE REGIONAL
TRAILS?
>> I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS.
MUCH LIKE OUR PARKS, WE TEND
NOT TO LIKE THEM.
A LOT OF THEM IS COST
PROHIBITIVE.
>> WE DO LATE SPECIFIC AREAS.
I THINK THIS ONE THOUGH IS
WORTHY OF A LARGER DISCUSSION.
>> OKAY.
SO WE -- ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
>> I THINK IT MIGHT BE -- FOR
THE FUTURE CONVERSATIONS, IF
THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO
PARTNER.
I CAN SEE WHY WE DON'T DO THAT
BECAUSE IT IS A BUDGET
CONSCIOUS DECISION.
IF THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR
PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT, I THINK WE
SHOULD SURROUND THAT AND WE
COULD HAVE THAT AS A PUBLIC
BENEFIT IN THE FUTURE.
I WANT TO MAKE THAT A LITTLE
BIT MORE PROMINENT SO YOU ARE
AWARE OF WHAT WE CAN DO IN THE
FUTURE, POSSIBLY.
>> OKAY.
I HAVE TO ASK YOUR INDULGENCE.
THE AGENDA DID NOT NOTE A
PUBLIC HEARING.
I WOULD LIKE TO AMEND THE
AGENDA TO ADD A PUBLIC HEARING
TO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 4. NOTICE
THAT THIS WAS IN THE DAILY
COMMERCE.
I MOVED TO AGENDA THE AGENDA.
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY
THOSE OPPOSED SAY
>> IS ANYONE SIGNED UP FOR THE
PUBLIC HEARING?
>> OKAY.
WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO COMMENT
FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING?
>> OKAY.
I SEE NONE SO I WILL CLOSE THE
PUBLIC HEARING.
THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT.
WE BELIEVE WE HAVE ALL OF OUR
RULES IN ORDER.
I PROPOSE WE GO AHEAD AND MOVE
THIS OUT OF COMMITTEE.
IF WE HEAR THAT WE NEED TO DO
SOMETHING OUT, WE WOULD NEED TO
DO THAT.
>> ALL RIGHT.
SO I WAS MOVED TO SUSPEND THE
RULE TO HAVE THE VOTE ON THE
SAME DAY OF THE PUBLIC HEARING.
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY
THOSE OPPOSED SAY
>> THE RULES ARE SUSPENDED.
>> IS EVERYBODY OKAY WITH
THAT.
I DON'T SEE THIS AS CONTROVERSY
OH.
AS WE LOOK AT THIS, IT SEEMS
LIKE A GREAT PROJECT.
IT SAYS FUTURE DEVELOPMENT SITE
ACROSS THE STREET.
IS THAT PLAN AND WORKS?
>> IT IS ACTIVELY IN THE WORKS
AND WE HAVE HAD SOME OF THE
SAME TEAM WORKING ON THAT.
WE WERE ABLE TO REALLY
COORDINATE THE CURB LIST STREET
DESIGN AND THE TIMING.
THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF
INTERACTION OUT THERE ON THE
SITES.
>> I CAN IMAGINE BY THE SHAPE
OF THE LAND THERE COULD BE
THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS LIVING IN
THIS AREA IN A COUPLE OF YEARS.
>> IT'S PRETTY EXCITING.
IT'S A NICE CONNECTION. IT'S A
NO MAN'S LAND RIGHT NOW.
>> ALL RIGHT.
I GO AHEAD AND MOVE 31 3480.
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY
THOSE OPPOSED SAY
>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR GOOD WORK
ON THIS.
NOW LET'S GO TO NUMBER 5. DO
YOU MIND READING IN THAT AGENDA
ITEMS.>> CB 119527 AN ORDINANCE
VACATING THE ALLEY IN BLOCK 19,
HEIRS OF SARAH A. BELL
ADDITION, IN THE BLOCK BOUNDED
BY 6th AVENUE, BLANCHARD
STREET, 7th AVENUE, AND LENORA
STREET, ON THE PETITION OF
ACORN DEVELOPMENT LLC (CLERK
FILE 312261).
PRESENTERS: BEVERLY BARNETT AND
AMY GRAY, SDOT; JOHN SAVO, NBBJ
ARCHITECTS.
WHY DON'T WE DO A ROUND OF
INTRODUCTIONS AGAIN JUST FOR
THE RECORD.
>> WE ARE PULLING UP A
PRESENTATION.
DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANT
TO SAY OUT OF THIS?
>> SO THE LAST ITEM WOULD GRANT
THE ABILITY FOR THE TRAIL SITE
PROJECT TO BUILD THE [
INAUDIBLE ] THEY ARE ASKING
FOR.
ONCE THEY COMPLETE THE PROJECT
THEY WILL COME BACK FOR FINAL
ORDINANCE.
BASICALLY THEY WILL CHECK OFF
THE BOXES SAYING THEY DID WHAT
THEY HAVE COMMITTED TO DOING.
THAT IS WHERE WE ARE WITH THIS
PROJECT.
THEY HAVE COMPLETED ALL THE
WORK FOR THIS STREET VACATION.
THEY ARE ASKING FOR YOUR FINAL
APPROVAL AND THAT IS BASICALLY
ASED ON WHETHER OR NOT THEY
COMPLETED THE CONDITIONS AND
PROVIDE THE PUBLIC FUNDING THEY
COMMITTED TO.
>> THERE ARE TWO COUNSEL ACTIONS
WE JUST DID THE FIRST ONE WHICH
IS WHERE WE MAKE THE POLICY
DECISIONS AND DECIDED IS OKAY
AND THEN THERE IS A SECOND
DECISION COMING BACK TO US.
ALL WE ARE REALLY DOING IS
SAYING IT IS OKAY.
>> YES.
>> ALL RIGHT.
I APPRECIATE THAT.
ALL RIGHT.
BEVERLY?
>> JOHN IS GOING TO GO THROUGH
THE POWERPOINT.
I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE A GOOD
REMINDER OF THE BACKGROUND.
AT THE TIME THAT THE COUNCIL
REVIEWED THIS PROJECT, IT WAS
ONE OF 3. THERE WERE THREE
ALLEY VACATIONS THAT ALL CAME
IN UNDER SEPARATIST.
WITH THE THREE PROJECTS BEING
TOGETHER BLOCK 14, 19, AND 20
SINCE WE ARE SO CLEAR ABOUT
WHERE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THAT
CITY COUNCIL WAS ABLE TO LOOK AT
úA LARGER PACKAGE OF PUBLIC
BENEFITS AND DIFFERENT THINGS
WERE SIGNED AT DIFFERENT TIMES.
ONE OF THE PUBLIC BENEFITS FOR
THESE THREE PROJECTS WAS A NEW
STREETCAR AND THE CITY COUNCIL
REQUIRED THAT THE MONEY FOR
THAT STREETCAR BE PROVIDED WHEN
THE FIRST PROJECT WAS DONE SO
THAT $3.7 MILLION WAS PROVIDED
FOR THE STREETCAR BEFORE THE
FIRST PROJECT HAPPEN.
THERE ARE DIFFERENT PARTS AND
PIECES AND PHASES. WHAT WE ARE
LOOKING AT, THIS IS BLOCK TO.
BLOCK 14 HAS BEEN FINISHED.
WHEN WE SEE THE MAP, THE
LOCATIONS WILL MAKE A LITTLE
MORE SENSE.
BECAUSE THE THREE BLOCKS WENT
THROUGH AT THE SAME TIME, THEY
DID LOOK AT THE LAND USE
CRITERIA THAT ALLOW THEM TO MOVE
SOME THINGS AROUND ON THE SIDE
AND THERE WERE PUBLIC BENEFITS
ASSOCIATED WITH THE PLANNED
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT.
WE SEE DIFFERENT KINDS OF
VACATION CRITERIA AND PUBLIC
BENEFIT CRITERIA FROM THE PCD
AS WELL.
WHEN THE COUNCIL LOOKED AT THIS
WE HAD CHARTS OF WHAT
OBLIGATION WENT WITH EACH
PROJECT AND WHAT OBLIGATIONS
WERE ASSOCIATED WITH THE
VACATION AND WHILE WAS
ASSOCIATED WITH OTHER LAND USE
ACTIONS.
WE IMPLEMENTED THAT AND THE
DEVELOPER HAS BEEN CAREFUL IN
FOLLOWING THAT.
THIS IS THE SECOND ONE.
WHAT YOU SEE IN TERMS OF THE
PUBLIC BENEFIT IS WHAT IS
ASSOCIATED WITH THE VACATION OF
THIS PARTICULAR BLOCK.
THERE IS ONE MORE THAT WE WILL
BE DOING THE END OF THIS YEAR
OR EARLY NEXT YEAR.
THERE IS A FOURTH PROJECT THAT
CAME ONLINE FOLLOWING THESE 3
THAT WILL PROBABLY BE NEXT YEAR
AS WELL.
>> OKAY.
THANK YOU.
>> THIS HAS BEEN AN EIGHT YEAR
JOURNEY. SOME OF YOU HAVE SEEN
ME BEFORE.
>> OKAY.
AS BEVERLY MENTIONED, THIS IS A
HIGH LEVEL REPORT THAT SAYS WE
DID WHAT WE SAID WE WOULD DO OR
EXCEEDED THAT.
THERE ARE NO CHANGES TO
HIGHLIGHT.
WE HAVE DELIVERED ON OUR
PROMISE.
SO AS A REMINDER THERE ARE
THREE BLOCKS THAT WERE PART OF
THIS PROJECT.
BLOCK 14 IS BUILT AND APPROVED.
BLOCK 19 IS THE ONE WERE
TALKING ABOUT NOW.
THAT IS A 37 STORY TOWER AND
THE SPHERES.
BLOCK 20 IS IN CONSTRUCTION AND
ONLY A COUPLE MONTHS AWAY FROM
BEING OPENED AND ACTIVE AS
WELL.
THE ONLY OTHER THING IS THAT
THESE BLOCKS ARE NARROW AS A
RESULT OF SOME ACTIONS IN THE
20s WHEN THEY WIDEN THE ROADS.
ADDITIONALLY, THE WAY THE
BLOCKS ARE ORIENTED, LONG AND
NARROW WHEN WE PUT BUILDINGS OF
ANY SIZE WE HAVE BUILDINGS THAT
ARE A WALL TOWARD THE WATER.
WE WANTED TO ROTATE THE
BUILDINGS AND OPEN VIEWS.
IN ADDITION, THESE ALLEYS RAN
INTO WEST LAKE WHICH GOES
DIAGONALLY AROUND THE CITY.
THEY WERE NOT VERY USEFUL
BECAUSE OF THAT UNUSUAL TRAFFIC
CONDITION.
ON TOP OF THAT, WHEN WE ROTATED
WE WERE ABLE TO CREATE PUBLIC
OPEN SPACES.
I THINK THIS IS NICE.
YOU CAN SEE THE BLOCK AS IT WAS
BEFORE THIS BUILDING WAS ONE
STORY AND NOW WE HAVE A HIGH
DENSITY URBAN USE TOGETHER WITH
SIGNIFICANT PUBLIC OPEN SPACE.
>> THAT PUBLIC SPACE IS MULTI
USE.
IT IS ENTIRELY PUBLIC.
YOU CAN SEE THEY USE IT FOR
FARMER MARKET IN THE SUMMER,
THEY CAN KICK AROUND THE BALL
ON THE LAWN.
THERE IS AMPHITHEATER SEATING
AND THEN THE CANOPY WHERE YOU
CAN SIT IN UNDER THE RAIN OR
WALK UNDER IT OUT OF THE
WEATHER.
>> AS BEVERLY MENTIONED THIS IS
ONE OF MULTIPLE PUBLIC BENEFIT
PACKAGES.
THE FIRST WAS THE PACKAGE WE
CREATED TO GO FROM THE BASE AND
THEY ARE TO THE MAX FA ARE
ALLOWABLE.
WE WENT TO THE MAX BUT DID NOT
EXCEEDED.
OPEN SPACES WORK THE MAIN WAY
TO GET THERE.
THEN THERE IS A PLANNED
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT.
THE FIRST ONE WAS FOR UNION
STATION AND THIS IS THE ONLY
SECOND ONE EVER DONE.
SO THERE ARE BENEFITS INCLUDING
THE OPERATIONAL AND MAINTENANCE
OF A STREETCAR FOR UP TO 10
YEARS.
ALSO THE IDEA OF BEING [
INAUDIBLE ]. WE WOULD SHOOT FOR
ANYTHING MORE.
WE WENT FOR DISTRICT ENERGY.
WE EXCEEDED WHAT WE WERE TRYING
TO DO.
THEN THE ALLEY VACATION
BENEFITS ARE WHAT WE ARE HERE
TO TALK ABOUT.
I WILL GO THROUGH THEM.
THEY ARE OUTLINED HERE.
SOME ARE ALREADY DONE.
THE TWO ON THE LOWER RIGHT.
WE HAVE THIS STREETCAR AND THE
CLIENT DID, WE CONTRIBUTED TO A
FUTURE PARK WRITER CROSSED
WESTLAKE.
THEN THERE ARE A COUPLE STILL
COMING.
ONE BLOCK 20 IS CREATED WE WILL
HAVE A CURB LIST STREET ON
LENORA BETWEEN WESTLAKE AND 7th
AVENUE.
ON WESTLAKE WE WILL DO SOME
ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS.
WE DID MOST OF THEM WHEN WE DID
THE FIRST BLOCK.
THERE ARE A FEW MORE TO COME
WHEN WE COMPLETE THIS BLOCK
ADJACENT TO IT.
>> I WILL GO THROUGH THESE
ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PARTICULAR
SITE.
THE CONTINUATION OF THE CYCLE
SACK EXCUSE ME TRACKED.
IT IS ONE WAY IN EACH DIRECTION
SEPARATED BY TREES AND
LANDSCAPING AND SEPARATED FROM
THE STREET FIGHT LANDSCAPING.
WE HAVE A TRUE CYCLE TRACK ON
EITHER SIDE.
>> ON BLANCHARD WE EXTENDED THE
GREEN STREET.
THAT HAD TO HAPPEN BUT HAD NOT
HAPPENED UP UNTIL NOW.
WE SET AND OTHER BUILDING BACK
10 FEET SO WE COULD HAVE TREES
AND CREATE A CYCLE TRACK ON
MASS STREET AS WELL IN THE
WIDER SIDEWALK THEN REQUIRED.
THERE WERE ADDITIONAL VOLUNTARY
SETBACKS.
THE MOST SIGNIFICANT OF THOSE
WERE ASSOCIATED WITH THE
SPHERES.
ONE THING, THE PURPOSE OF THIS
FEAR IS TO HAVE A GARDEN IN
WHICH YOU COULD WORK DURING THE
YEAR, ALL YEAR ROUND.
WE WANTED TO SIT IN A GARDEN.
THAT COULD BE SHARED WITH THE
PUBLIC BECAUSE IT IS ON THE
RIGHT OF WAY.
THEN THAT INCLUDES A PLANTINGS
SIMILAR TO WHAT IS INSIDE THE
BUILDING AND IN THE UPPER
SEATING AND UP THE SIDEWALK.
THERE ARE OTHER RIGHT AWAY'S,
THE DOUBLETREE ALLEYWAY AND THE
SIGNATURE CANOPIES.
AN ORIGINAL IDEA FOR THAT WAS A
STRAIGHT, FLAT, CANOPY WHEN WE
DID THE ORIGINAL DESIGN.
úWHEN WE GOT INTO THE SPHERES
AND SAW AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO
SOMETHING SPECIAL WE CREATED
THESE ART PIECES.
THERE ARE FINES INVITED TO GROW
UP.
THERE IS NO SIGNATURE ART GROUP
PIECE AND THERE WAS NONE
PROMISE.
THERE WAS ON 14 AND 20.
BOTH OF THOSE, WHAT IS COMPLETE
AND ONE HAS BEEN INSTALLED BUT
NOT VISIBLE YET.
WITH THE ADDITION OF THE
SPHERES WE HAD THINGS LIKE THE
UTILITY COVERS AND BENCHES AND
THE LIGHTING WE DID.
>> THANK YOU FOR THE LIGHTING.
>> YOU ARE WELCOME.
>> THEN, THE LAST ONE IS THIS
IDEA OF ADDITIONAL OVERHEAD
WEATHER PROTECTION.
THAT IS PROVIDED BY THE TREE
CANOPIES.
SO WITH THAT, I WANTED TO OPEN
IT UP FOR QUESTIONS.
THE HIGHLIGHTS OF EACH.
I WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER
WHATEVER I CAN.
>> ANYONE HAVE QUESTIONS FOR
JOHN?
>> KNOW.
I APPRECIATE THE PRESENTATION.
I -- I THINK THIS IS A GOOD
EXAMPLE OF WHAT UP PUBLIC PARK
SHOULD LOOK LIKE WITH PUBLIC
BENEFITS SO, THANK YOU.
>> JOHN, IT HAS BEEN A PLEASURE
WORKING WITH YOU ON THIS
PROJECT AND ACTUALLY A COUPLE
OTHERS.
WE HAVE A LONG HISTORY AROUND
THE WORLD BUT I CERTAINLY SEE
THOSE FEARS AND A LOT OF
PHOTOGRAPHS.
I WOULD BE CURIOUS TO SEE WHICH
APPEARS MORE IN THE PRESS THAN
ANYWHERE ELSE, I WOULD ALREADY
GUESS THAT THIS IS.
>> THAT HAPPENED SEVERAL MONTHS
AGO.
NO ONE HAS HAD MORE MENTIONS IN
PRESS THAN OTHERS.
A WALL STREET JUDEO EXCUSE ME A
WALL STREET VIDEO WAS MOST
RECENTLY DONE.
>> IT HAS BEEN GREAT TO WORK
WITH YOU ON THIS.
WE ARE HERE. THE END IS GRANTING
THE ORDINANCE AND THEN THERE IS
WORK WITH TITLE CHANGES AND WE
COLLECT THE FEE OR IS THAT
ALREADY DONE.
AMAZON PAID THE FEE EARLY.
THEY PAID TWO YEARS AGO.
THAT HAS BEEN PAID.
IT WAS 5 MILLION SOMETHING.
>> OKAY.
GREAT.
>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THIS
BILL?
>> OKAY.
I WILL EXCUSE ME.
I WILL MOVE COUNSEL BILL 119527.
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY
THOSE OPPOSED SAY
YOU.
THIS WILL GO TO CANCEL.
>> OKAY.
WE HAVE ONE MORE BEFORE WE GET
INTO ALL THE FUN THINGS.
DO YOU MIND READING AGENDA ITEM
NUMBER SIX.
CB 119520 AN ORDINANCE GRANTING
KR WESTLAKE, LLC, PERMISSION TO
MAINTAIN AND OPERATE A
PEDESTRIAN SKYBRIDGE OVER THE
ALLEY IN THE BLOCK BORDERED BY
WESTLAKE AVENUE NORTH, TERRY
AVENUE NORTH, THOMAS STREET,
AND HARRISON STREET, FOR A TEN-
YEAR TERM, RENEWABLE FOR TWO
SUCCESSIVE TEN-YEAR TERMS;
SPECIFYING THE CONDITIONS UNDER
WHICH THIS PERMIT IS GRANTED;
PROVIDING FOR THE ACCEPTANCE OF
THE PERMIT AND CONDITIONS;
AMENDING ORDINANCE 122239; AND
RATIFYING AND CONFIRMING
CERTAIN PRIOR ACTS.
BEVERLY BARNETT. AMY GRAY,
SEATTLE DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION.
>> I'M NOT SURE WHO WANTS TO
LEAD OFF THE PRESENTATION.
>> I WILL.
IT'S JUST TAKING A SECOND.
>> OKAY.
I WILL INTRODUCE US.
SO THIS COUNSEL BILL WOULD
RENEW THE TERM PAIR MET FOR
ANOTHER 10 YEAR TERM.
TERM PERMITS ARE GENERALLY
GRANTED FOR A 10 YEAR TERM WITH
TWO RENEWABLE TEN-YEAR TERMS.
THIS WOULD BE THE FIRST
RENEWAL.
THERE WOULD BE ONE MORE 10 YEAR
TERM 10 YEARS FROM NOW UNTIL
GETS TO ITS EXPIRATION.
>> GOT UP.
>> THE RENEWALS COME BACK TO US
IN ADDITION?
>> IF THEY ARE SUBSIDENCE LIKE
CHANGES TO THE ORDINANCE, WHEN
SOME OF THE OLD PERMITS HAD
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION LANGUAGE AND
THE INITIAL WAS NO LONGER
DEEMED LEGAL.
WE BRING THINGS LIKE THAT UP.
IF EVERYTHING REMAINS THE SAME
AND NOTHING IS NEW, WE DON'T
NEED TO CHANGE ANYTHING, THERE
IS NOT A NEW REVOCATION THEN IT
WOULD JUST BE AN ADMINISTRATIVE
THING.
WE'RE DOING SOME CHANGES TO
LANGUAGE TO MAKE IT COMPLIANT
WITH CURRENT LAWS.
>> EXCELLENT.
>> SO THIS GUY BRIDGES IN THE
ALLEY. THERE IS AN IMAGE
BETWEEN TWO OFFICE BUILDING.
ONE IS ON WESTLAKE AVENUE NORTH
AND ONE ON TERRY AVENUE NORTH.
KAISER PERMANENTE, THIS WAS
GRANTED TO GROUP HEALTH WHICH
IS NOW KAISER PERMANENTE AND
THEY HAVE OFFICE SPACES IN
THERE.
HERE IS A MAP SHOWING THE
LOCATION.
THIS IS JUST OFF WESTLAKE.
THE PERMIT IS EXPIRED BUT THIS
PERMIT AND ORDINANCE HAS A
RATIFY AND CONFIRM CLAUSE WHICH
WOULD MAKE IT EFFECTIVE TO THE
LAST DAY OF EXPIRATION.
THEY HAVE BEEN PROVIDING
INSURANCE AND DOING
REINSPECTION REPORTS WHILE WE
GET TO THE RENEWAL.
THEY ARE COMPLIANT.
WE RECOMMEND APPROVAL.
>> YOU MENTIONED THAT IT IS
COMING BACK TO US BECAUSE THERE
IS SOME CHANGES, ANYTHING FROM
A POLICY PERSPECTIVE WE SHOULD
KNOW ABOUT.
KNOW THAT THEY WANT THE
INSURANCE LANGUAGE TO BE A
CERTAIN WAY.
WE LOOK AT THE NEW CODE
DRAFTING MANUAL PUT OUT BY THE
CITY AS FAR AS WHAT LANGUAGE WE
SHOULD USE AND TAKE OUT.
IT'S JUST CLEANING UP THE
LANGUAGE.
IT IS MOSTLY THINGS CHANGING
WHEN IT COMES TO INSURANCE
LANGUAGE FROM 10 YEARS AGO.
>> OKAY.
ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS?
IF NOT I MOVE COUNSEL BILL
119520.
>> SECOND.
>> ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY
>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK ON
THIS.
KELLY I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THAT
YOU READ IN -- LET'S TAKE AWAY
HER WATER AND WE ARE GOING TO
READ IN ALL FIVE BILLS ALL THE
WAY THROUGH.
LET'S READ THE SHORT VERSION OF
ALL 5 OF THESE THAT WANTS TO
GET THEM ON THE RECORD.
>> OKAY.
>> THERE WAS A TIME, TO BE
CLEAR WHEN WE READ IN ALL OF
THESE NOT JUST TO COMMITTEE BUT
FULL COUNSEL.
THE CLERK AT THE TIME WAS
AMAZING AT READING REALLY FAST
THAT MET THE LEGAL REQUIREMENT
OF AUDIBLE.
SHE COULD RATTLE THE STUFF OFF.
>> I'M THANKFUL I CAN READ THE
SHORT VERSION.
