35th Ave. S. Street Vacation
ISSUE
Sound Transit has requested a time extension to complete the remaining street vacation.
BACKGROUND
At the May 12, 2007 Committee of the Whole meeting, an update was presented of the seven
Sound Transit light rail street vacations. Four vacations were voided due to conditions that
could not be met; one vacation met the conditions and was completed, and two were granted
time extensions. Since that time, the 48th Ave S street vacation conditions have been met and
fmaled. Sound Transit is still negotiating with WSDOT on 35th Ave S street vacation and
requires another time extension.
ANALYSIS
This portion of 35th Ave S lies between Sound Transit property and the WSDOT SR - 518 right-
of-way. Portions of the Tukwila International Boulevard Station parking lot have been built on
this proposed street vacation property. The proposed right-of-way limits run the full length of
the abutting properties and include the cul-de-sac bulb. A draft ordinance is attached for
review and comment. A vacation is not complete until all of the conditions are met.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the street vacation time extension ordinance with Sound Transit to April 30, 2009.

Subject: State Auditor Performance Audit Report
"Use of Impact Fees in Federal Way. Olympia, Maple Valley, Redmond and
Vancouver"
ISSUE
Results from the State Auditor's Impact Fees Performance Audit from five select cities.
DISCUSSION
The State Auditor selected the cities of Federal Way, Olympia, Maple Valley, Redmond
and Vancouver for a performance audit because they had the highest impact fee revenue
from 2004 to 2006. In the attached summary of audit results, nine audit issue areas are
discussed for school, parks, fire and transportation impact fees.
In comparing Tukwila's traffic impact fee system with the fmdings from the State
Auditor, we find that Tukwila updates the traffic model and project costs annually;
includes long term projects in the impact fee model; and creates a schedule that allows
developers to easily determine the impact fees to be paid upon building permit issuance.
The only audit recommendation that has not been incorporated is a tracking system
which automatically interfaces to Finance's accounting system.
Tukwila not only manages its transportation impact fee program effectively, but our
system has already implemented four of the five recommended "leading practices". We
will investigate our tracking procedures with Finance to determine the feasibility of
integrating traffic impact fees.

Washington State Auditor. Cities are collecting and administering impact fees
appropriately and in accordance with state law.
· The public is getting what it is paying for.
Performance audits are conducted under the
provisions of citizens Initiative 900. This audit
was conducted on our behalf by Ernst & Young in
accordance with Generally Accepted Government
Auditing Standards.
Cities have an opportunity to improve transparency
and access to public information by posting their
annual impact fee reports on their Web sites.
While cities are required by state law to report the
information annually, not all cities are posting the
information on their Web sites. It is good policy to
make that information readily available to citizens.
We hope all cities and counties that impose imact fees
will take advantage of the best practices identified in
this audit.

Mission Statement
The State Auditors Office independently serves the citizens of Washington
by promoting accountabilitx fiscal integrity and openness in state and local
government. Working with these governments and with citizens, we strive to
ensure the efficient and effective use of public resources.
Objectives
The audit was designed to determine:
1. The method each city uses to calculate impact fees based on the direction in
state law mcw 82.20.050);
2. How each city demonstrates that these fees are appropriate; and
3. How effectively each city uses impact fees to pay for public facilities that:
· Correspond to the demand for public facilities from new development.
· Benefit new development proportionate to its share of the financing of new
or expanded facilities; and are consistent with a comprehensive plan or a
capital element of a comprehensive land use plan that has been adopted in
accordance with state law.
If the city does not meet these objectives, what are the resulting costs to all residents
and what can be done to reduce those costs?
Additionally, the audit addressed the nine elements contained in Initiative 900,
outlined on page 5 of this summary.
The audit cost $726,466.

Legislature
Several of the issues identified during the audit are caused by a lack of clarity in
laws governing impact fees, particularly regarding the items cities may purchase
with impact fee money. For instance, Olympia interpreted the law regarding road
impact fees to allow it to spend the money on bike trails. Redmond interpreted the
law regarding fire impact fees to allow the City to purchase fire trucks. The law states
the fees can only be spent on fire "facilities;" however the law does not define a
fire facility. The Legislature has an opportunity to empower cities to improve their
performance and definitively comply with state law.
Issues
The audit identified three main conclusions regarding the five cities' collection and use
of impact fees.
· Lack of clarity in state law may be causing some cities to calculate and spend
impact fees in a manner that could be inappropriate.
· One city is charging builders higher impact fees than they should and their fees
are not supported by a capital facilities plan as prescribed by law. We recommend
that city discontinue charging the fees until they are supported.
· New developments in some cities are receiving questionable benefits for the
impact fees paid.
Best Practices Identified for All Municipalities
The audit identifies a number of best practices that streamline or improve the
collection, assessment and use of impact fees in order to minimize the costs and
maximize the benefits associated with them.

Initiative 900 requires the State Auditor's Office to identify best practices
~ during each performance audit. The following best practices were in place at
the cities during the audit:
Redmond
· The City of Redmond Fire Department's method of allocating costs of new
capital facilities between the City and Fire District 34 should be evaluated for
implementation in other cities and districts.
· The City of Redmond's fire impact fee calculation and schedule met all
aspects of the related state laws and demonstrates a leading practice by
taking the following items into consideration:
· System improvements that are reasonably related to growth
· The proportionate share of the costs of system improvements related to
new development
· Redmond employs several leading practices with respect to calculating,
charging, and maintaining its transportation impact fee.
These leading practices include:
· Inflation indexing
· Costs based on a long-range plan
· Adopted fee schedules by land use
Vancouver
· The City of Vancouver uses the Emphasys SymPro system to assist in
managing the city treasury function, including interest allocation. The system
tracks investment earnings and interfaces with the city's general ledger
to retrieve the daily balances for all accounts to which to allocate interest.
Investment earnings are then allocated across the general ledger accounts
based on their average daily balances.
· The City of Vancouver's school impact fee review process is a leading
practice, as the City demonstrates the most in-depth and comprehensive
review of the school impact fee calculation and schedule.
Vancouver and Olympia
· The cities of Vancouver and Olympia integrated their permitting systems with
their accounting systems. This was identified as a leading practice among
the Cities due to the tighter internal controls and minimal manual entry.

We made the following recommendations to the Washington Legislature:
· Amend RCW 82.02.090 to better define capital facilities and alleviate ambiguity.
· Consider modifying RCW 82.02.070 to better define "separate interest-bearing
accounts."

Subject:
Walk and Roll Plan
Background
In April of this year, the Community Development Department issued a draft nonmotorized plan
titled Walk and Roll. It was widely distributed, it was reviewed by the Parks and Planning
Commissions and by the Transportation and Community Affairs and Parks Committees and it
was forwarded to the Committee of the Whole. A public hearing was held before the City
Council on July 21,2008.
At the close of the three month public review period, staff organized the public comments and
Council dir~ction and has begun modifying the document to reflect the clarifications and
requests.
Issues
Key Changes to Plan
There was good public participation and comment on the draft plan. Over 150 responses were
received by individuals, organizations and agencies. Attachments A - Specific Comments and B
- General Comments summarize the public input, with staff response and proposed changes to
the Plan. The significant policy recommendations are:
. Add a seventh recommendation - to create a nonmotorized improvement facilities list for
the CIP for projects in the Walk & Roll Plan.
. Draft a Complete Streets Ordinance, and added language about the Complete Streets
policy to the plan.
. Make specific changes to project sheets.
. Make specific changes to maps.
. Add a bibliography and glossary.
. Add recommendation to hire a consultant to determine the feasibility/suitability of
recommendations for bicycle improvements on Tukwila's streets, as a follow-up step to
adoption of the plan.
. Drop Fee in-lieu recommendation for sidewalks.

. Replace Figure 6, showing blocks longer than ~ mile with a connectivity map showing
relative block sizes in different areas of the city.
. Add the following to the Bicycle and Pedestrian Infrastructure Designs section:
o Signage and Pavement Markings
o Multi-Use Trail Design - signage, bollards, crossing areas
o Loop Detectors for Bicycles
o Pedestrian Flags
o Bicycle and pedestrian crossings offreeway on-ramp and off-ramp areas
Sidewalk Priorities
The pedestrian component of the Plan consists of paved and unpaved multi-use trails and
sidewalks. During public review, no strong consensus was given for using either of the two
methods. One method suggested evaluating and ranking streets based upon the type of street -
principal, minor, collector - and its posted speed limit and the second method would be to
consider all streets that are within ~ mile radius of schools. Staff also reviewed the prioritization
method used for the Residential Streets Program and has prepared a method that combines
elements of all methods, taking into consideration, location relative to the urban center, street
type and posted vehicle speed limits, proximity to higher density housing, pedestrian generators,
and connection of missing segments. The top row of Attachment C is a suggested point system
for rating importance for sidewalk construction. Test samples using the suggested methodology
for missing sidewalks are arrayed down the page.
Next Steps
After review of the proposed changes in the Draft Plan (Attachments A and B,) and of the
sidewalk prioritization method (Attachment C) staff will return to the November 25,2008
Transportation Committee with a marked-up version of a draft Final Plan for review and
approval. The Plan will then be formatted and printed and brought back to a regular meeting of
the Council with an ordinance for adoption.

The bike lanes represented T
as dashed purple lines were
recommended from
surveys that were
completed as part of the
public outreach effort.
They are signed bike routes
that have bike lanes as the
improvement, not wide
shoulders. They may not be
appropriate for this map,
since this map is meant to
show existing and planned
facilities. The map can be
changed in the final
version of the Walk Roll
Plan so that these
"Recommended Bike

he specific type of facility
recommended for each

route will be determined by a
feasibility study, to be conductcd
after adoption of the Walk Roll
Plan.

REVIEWER COMMENTS
Should we have a policy regarding snow removal so that sidewalks
are not used for snow storage? During past snow events it was
difficult to walk in the urban center because City snow plows piled
the snow on the sidewalks. Will construction of separated
sidewalks resolve this issue?
Should the City have a procedure /equipment for snow removal on
major commuter bikeways?
STAFF RESPONSE CHANGES MADE TO PLAN
Staff will check to see if
such a policy exists, and
how this issue is handled
on separated vs. attached
sidewalks to sec if there is
a difference in the
effectiveness of one design
vs. the other.
Staff will check to see if
such procedure!
equipment exists or is
needed.
Email sent to Stan Anderson;
response by phone on 9/30: we
clear the entire roadway of snow,
so if there is a ped path/striped
shoulder, then snow is removed.
Otherwise, snow is not removed
on sidewalks and trails, since we
don't have the equipment to get
into those areas and clear. One
benefit of separated sidewalks, to
be added to the list of "pros" in the
design guidelines, is that they
provide an area to pile up snow
between the roadway and the
sidewalk.

East Marginal Way and Airport
Way remain on the Recommended
Bicycle Friendly Routes map.
However, the Airport Way project
sheet was taken out of the plan,
since this route is not within
Tukwila city limits. Prioritization
of bicycle improvements on E East
Marginal Way will be the result of
an analysis of all Recommended

Fee -in -lieu program
REVIEWER COMMENTS
Very large concern over feasibility of this kind of program. There
is a very high risk of no improvements being built and all fees being
refbnded. There is no appropriate CIP project to accommodate this
at this time and in most cases, the "sticker shock" o paying a fee
that covers the actual cost of constructing the improvement means
that the fee gets reduced (by electeds) and a new burden on PW
budget is created to fill the gap. Tracking system and staff to
monitor program are also concerns.
P: 1Long Range Projects \Walk and Roll \final draft \Final Revisions \COMMENTS_REVISIONS_7 -74 FINAL
STAFF RESPONSE
More research is needed to
determine the feasibility of
a fee -in -lieu program.
CHANGES MADE TO PLAN
Fee in -lieu recommendation taken
out of plan, based on
conversations with the City
Attorney and Public Works.
Requiring single family
development to build their
segment of sidewalk is the
approach recommended by the
City Attorney. Parks impact fees
include neighborhood trails to
provide connectivity to new
development, including
unimproved rights -of -way shown
in the Walk Roll Plan, and

Bike lane design guideline elements: (a) Full standard bike lane
with parallel curb parking case A total of 15 feet tneasurcd from
the face of the curb to the outer stripe date bike lame is required to
have a bike lane installation which is free of the parked car opening
of the driver -side doors (the "door- zone" safety problem). This
provides for a 5 -11 wide bike lane and a 10 -11 wide parking lane (7
or 3.11 marked parking stalls plus buffer for the door zone).
Unfortunately the American Association of State Highway and
Transportation Official's (AASI-ITO) currant bicycle lane design
guidelines does not address this fact. Installations of 13 feet and 14
feet width are shown in the Tukwila plan for several projects: L3mtd
for the vital Andover Park East bike route improvement (p.
14 feet for Baker Blvd (p. 70).
(cont'cl from comment above) (b) Bike Lane adjacent to "High"
Barriers AASHTO and WSDOT design guides show 5 feet
minimum width (measured from the' face of the curb) for bike lane
width adjacent to a curb (Tukwila plan p.36). Where there is an
extremely high curb, guardrail, "Jersey" barriers, retaining wall or
other "tall" barrier at or within a toot of the anb face adjacent to
the bike tame, the bike lane should be at least 611 wide measured
from the curb -face. This is especially important on horizontal curve
alignments and where there is a barrier curb on

This is an area that needs
further examination and
discussion. While there are
trucks along this route,
there does not seem to be a
high number of vehicles
travelling on S 112th. It is
one of the few east -west
routes that gets you from
East Marginal Way and
Tukwila International Blvd
to the trail.
The cross- section included on the
project sheet for this route was
taken out, since it is agreed that
high truck traffic volumes would
warrant wider than 10 foot lanes.
This route would likely come out
as a low priority for bicycle
improvements. A feasibility study
would help determine what to
recommend for this route in the
longterm.

may find some ways to cross the corridor, usually involving considerable hills, which is also a problem for those in
wheelchairs, but for cyclists I cannot name a crossing I would recommend for a person of average cycling skills. Recently
an opportunity arose which could have been exploited. Near the Boeing Access Road, the light rail line was built over 1 -5.
The structure could have included a bicycle and pedestrian surface as well, but this was not done.
Likewise, immediately to the north of this arca, on MLK Way, bicycle lanes could have connected this area with
Henderson St, which is one of the few cast -west routes following level terrain and having moderate motor vehicle traffic.
