Project No. 06 -DRO2
Resolution Declaring Surplus of the Carosino Structures
RECOMMENDATION
The Council is being asked to approve the Resolution to surplus the buildings located at the
Duwamish Gardens site and consider this item at the May 24, 2010 Committee of the Whole
meeting and subsequent June 7, 2010 Regular meeting.
Jim Haggerton, Mayor
ISSUE
Resolution declaring the Carosino brick house, farmstead house, barn, and outbuildings located at
Duwamish Gardens to be surplus property.
BACKGROUND
In late 2008, the City of Tukwila purchased the Carosino property located at 11245 and 11269 East
Marginal Way South (Parcel Numbers 1023049071, 102304055, and 1023049060) along the
Duwamish River for the Duwamish Gardens estuarine restoration project. Funding for the purchase
was provided by King County Conservation District, Salmon Recovery Funding Board, the City, and
other funding services.
For the estuarine restoration project to go forward, the existing structures need to be demolished or
removed from the site. Washington State's Department of Archeology and Historic Preservation
(DAHP) is requiring that the City advertise for bids twice to offer the relocation of the farmstead
house. If no interested parties can be found to relocate the farmhouse, the City can proceed with
demolition. The other buildings have no value due to dilapidation and asbestos and they will be
demolished.
ANALYSIS
A resolution is required to surplus the structures at the Duwamish Gardens site. If approved, staff will
proceed with advertisement for removal of the farmstead house and prepare bid documents for
demolition of all other structures. After all permits have been obtained and the bid awarded, the
structures will be demolished.
Removal of the structures was included in grant funding that has been obtained. It is anticipated that
sufficient budget remains for this work. A budget summary will be included with a future demolition
contract once demolition costs are determined.

OUTBUILDINGS LOCATED AT 11245 AND 11269 EAST MARGINAL WAY

WHEREAS, the City of Tukwila owns certain real property at 11245 and 11269 East
Marginal Way South; and
WHEREAS, the City of Tukwila purchased the Carosino Farms property for future
fish habitat in 2008; and
WHEREAS, the house and farmstead house, barn and outbuildings have no value
and need to be demolished, or the farmstead house, due to historic value, may be sold
and relocated to preserve it; and

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA,

DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
1st QUARTER SIGNIFICANT ISSUES:
Land Use Activity: There were 17 land use decisions issued, the applications ranged from five SEPA
decisions, one design review application, two short plats, one Shoreline Substantial Development
permit, two parking determinations, one Special Permission for deviations from code for sensitive
areas /parking, one Tree Permit, one wireless facility permit and three Administrative Zoning letters or
Noise Variances.
Crisis Diversion: Significant staff time has been spent researching the County's proposal to locate a Crisis
Diversion Facility within the City. This was not something that was anticipated in the DCD work plan. In
September of 2009, the Council adopted a six month moratorium on the placement of Crisis Facilities.
Since then staff has had several meetings with King County Staff and has also been working with the City
Attorney's Office to respond to a Petition that was filed with the Central Washington Growth Management
Hearing Board.
In February of 2010, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing and recommended allowing
Crisis Diversion Facilities as Unclassified Uses within the TUC Zone. The City's moratorium was
extended until June 1 to allow for final Council action on the issue.
Stream Team: City Council was briefed on the overall program and authorized the Mayor to sign the
contract with King County. The contract was executed at the end of December. Staff is now working with
stakeholders and other Departments to develop a specific educational program. Information and sign
ups should be available at the Backyard Wildlife Fair in May. Classes will run through the summer. In the
fall'', those that participate in the educational classes will work to improve Cottage Creek on the City Hall
grounds.
Sound Transit: Staff has been working with Sound Transit to ensure compliance with the Unclassified Use
Permit conditions. There are a number of items that were deferred in order for Sound Transit to start
operating Light Rail in July 2009. Also, there are a number of items that require ongoing monitoring such
as noise, wetland mitigation and parking monitoring. Sound Transit has agreed to brief the Tukwila City
Council in May on the status of the light rail system including information on ridership, noise issues, and
parking.
Staff has also been working with Sound Transit to resolve issues with the Commuter Rail Station design.
Some of the issues related to access have been more complicated as they are related to Strander
Boulevard extension. Sound Transit plans on submitting an Unclassified Use Permit next month.

Mini Casinos: The City Council passed a moratorium on the establishment of any new card room mini
casinos that will run through September 2010. A public hearing on the issue is scheduled for May 3
Walk Roll Implementation: Staff received and reviewed draft deliverables for the Bicycle Routes and
Sidewalk Segments Design Report from Perteet, Inc. Staff from Tukwila and Perteet will be submitting an
application for an award for the design report project as part of the APA/PAW Joint Awards Program.
The flashing beacon signals Tukwila was able to purchase with grant funding from the state were installed
on S 135 Street within the Cascade View Elementary school zone in late 2009, and the signals were
turned on in January 2010. Staff continued to work with the Tukwila School District, Cascade Land
Conservancy, and Neighbors Without Borders to set up a Safe Routes to School Program, starting with
Cascade View Elementary School as a pilot project. There are currently grants available to fund Safe
Routes to School projects including funding from the state for engineering, enforcement,
encouragement, and education activities to improve safety for students walking and biking to school, as
well as funding to support policy development and advocacy for Safe Routes to School with the aim of
encouraging physical activity to reduce obesity. These grants require a partnership with the school
district, and staff has been in contact with the school district and the Community Schools Collaboration
about these opportunities. Staff is planning to brief the Transportation Committee on these grant
applications in April and May.
Sensitive Area Ordinance Revisions: The Community Affairs and Parks Committee agreed to send
revisions to the SAO to the Planning Commission for its review. These changes are primarily
housekeeping and city -wide adoption of the same wetland rating system that the Department of Ecology
has required for shoreline wetlands. A draft ordinance reflecting the proposed changes is almost
complete and field work is commencing to check stream and wetland data. The Planning Commission is
expected to begin its review in May.
Rainbow Trailer Haven: Of the 40 units, 35 have come into compliance, two units are actively working to
finalize their work, and three units require L I permits for non compliant internal wiring. The City is
working with the non compliant homeowners to ensure that all units are safe and in compliance. The
front fence, which interfered with sight distance, has been replaced. The driveway fire lane striping will be
completed as soon as weather permits.
World Wide Video: Work was completed on the outstanding corrections to permit D08 -048. The work
included structural framing in the basement, plumbing work for the sump pump, striping of the parking lot,
barrier free signage. The owner was resisting the City's directive to allow inspections and to complete the
required work. March 15, 2010 a final inspection was scheduled by the contractor and final inspection
approval was issued. The RFA file has been closed thus ending the court action that was in place.
BUDGET PROGRAM GOALS:

2. Adopt Tukwila Urban Center Plan and Planned Action. The Planning Commission (PC) sent the

2009. An economic consulting company was hired to test the market feasibility of the
proposed development regulations and held three focus groups to gather market data. Staff
presented these findings to the CAP as an information item. Staff will revise the plan based

another public hearing.

PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT

becoming stronger and even more committed to the services we provide. Staff has stepped up, filled in

and services be provided. As the economy continues to take its toll on our citizens, the needs for

home, understands the needs of Tukwila citizens and is able to respond to those needs in an efficient
manner.
