ELty of Tukwila Allan Ekberg, Mayor TO: Community Development and Neighborhoods Committee FROM: Rick Still, Parks and Recreation Director CC: Mayor Ekberg DATE: August 30, 2017 SUBJECT: Foster Golf Links Temporary Use Permit ISSUE Temporary Use permit of the City of Seattle — City Light Department fee -owned right located at Foster Golf Links. BACKGROUND The City of Seattle — City Light Department (SCL) completed an audit of their properties and discovered that a property they own, located at Foster Golf Links, is not currently under a Temporary Use Permit and that SCL is not currently being compensated for use of the property by the City of Tukwila. SCL property may only be used for non-utility private or governmental purposes if SCL receives fair market value compensation for the use. The subject property is detailed in Attachment B. It encompasses a significant portion of the parking lot, landscaping to the west of parking lot, the trail, and potentially the sidewalk. The total area being used at Foster Golf Links as a right-of-way is 83,236 square feet, according to a survey completed by SCL. DISCUSSION Parks and Recreation has carefully considered the options for this property, and worked with SCL to find a mutually beneficial agreement. Attachment A is a two-year temporary permit for use for the SCL property. SCL offers a 50% discount for the presence of power lines, and a 10% capitalization rate for commercial uses of SCL owned property. SCL is willing to increase the discount to 75% for the continued care of the property (landscaping and parking lot maintenance). Below is an example of the fee breakdown: Market Value: $23.33 Discount: 50% Capitalization Rate: 10% Price per Sq. Ft.: $1.17 Square Feet: 83,236 Monthly Rate: $8091.23 Washington State Excise Tax (12.84%): $1038.90 Total: $9130.14 per month 13
