MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Mullet
Community Affairs & Parks Committee
FROM: Bruce Fletcher, Director of Parks & Recreation
DATE: November 22, 2005
SUBJECT: Land Donation
The Cascade Land Conservancy approached my office with an offer to sell open space
land along Macadam Road. The two parcels (#7661600212 and #8733000005) are
valued at $100,000 and the land total is 1.34 acres. The land is currently open space and
serves as a greenbelt buffer between several houses and 1-5. The north border is across
the street from the Southcenter Baptist Church and the south border is across from the
Tukwila Garden Apartments.
The parks CIP budget is not in the position to make any land purchases at this time. I
explained that the city would accept these parcels as a land donation and keep the 1.34
acres as a green belt. The Cascade Land Conservancy has accepted these terms and the
city would cover the CLC's staff transaction costs of$I,OOO.
It is the recommendation of the Parks and Recreation Department, to accept this land
donation from the Cascade Land Conservancy.

1. 'Yay Back Inn Lease A!!reement "Vay Back Inn currently manages three homes in Tukwila:
a duplex (Hartnett Manor) near the Macadam wetlands, and Kennedy's cottage. Another city-
owned house is now being proposed for use by the "Vay Back Inn group. The home is just north
of Foster Library on 4211d. The lease allows "Vay Back Inn to use the house for two years. It
needs some repairs before it can be used as a home, and "Vay Back Inn will make those
improvements. The City has a very good relationship with "Vay Back Inn, which has one part-
time family screener staff person and is otherwise staffed by volunteers. The lease agrees to pay
the electric bills for the house if the bills do not exceed $1,200 per year.
Joan said the Hartnett Manor had some piled up junk on its porch for up to six months. There
was also a sofa under a tarp in the yard. Stacy said this was not usual practice for the group. They
keep furniture to give to families when they move out, but the shed they keep the furniture in is
fairly small. Because the group is eager to begin work on the Foster House, the Committee
recommended the agreement to the December 5th agenda. Recommend authorizin!! mayor's
si!!nature on agreement to December 5 meeting.

2. Land Donation on Macadam Land adjacent to the fence for 1-5 is being offered to the City
as a land donation. The 1.34 acres will be kept as a greenbelt. This is the area that has been the
site of parking and car repairs previously, and concrete barriers now prevent parking. Bruce and
Rhonda commented that City ownership of the property will allow better control of it in contrast
to the time when ownership was difficult to locate. Recommend land acceptance to CO\V.
