TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING March 14, 1977 Page 2 DISCUSSION Green River Flood Control Christensen Green- belt 7 Steve Hall, Director of Public Works, explained the Green River Flood Control, showing with charts normal conditions, flooding condi- tions, project conditions, landfill, and flood plain encrouchment. Mr. Hall said there were proposed alternatives discussed at the meeting he had attended: no change; floodproofing, floodproofing with conditions, raise structure up, etc. He said there could be a problem in this area because during flood conditions it would be 7 days before the peak reached Tukwila. Mr. Hall said the City machine shop is at the lowest elevation in Tukwila. Mayor Bauch said in order to qualify for federal flood insurance the City would have to build to the flood plain standard. Mr. Hall said there is no action to be taken at this time, this presentation was for information only, and is a long term solution. Mayor Bauch said the alternatives mentioned are interim solutions until a permanent solution can go in, which will be the Corps of Engineers raising the dikes. This cannot be done for about 8 years. Maintenance of Steve Hall, Director of Public Works, said the table that had been Interurban Ave. So. previously prepared showed annual average maintenance would be$56,200. and 10 to 11% would have to be added to that for current costs. Councilman Pesicka asked if any studies have been made to see if the traffic control has helped. Councilman Traynor said his analysis of the new signals showed no difference. Anna Bernhard, audience, said the traffic was terrific coming from the freeway. Councilman Van Dusen asked if more signals were put in would there be matching funds. Mr. Hall said no. Mayor Bauch said part of the allocated block grant money that the City will get in June is for a study as to what can be done with Ihterurban. Councilman Traynor said if the City takes over Interurban Avenue at least they could control the speed on it. Maule Avenue one Steve Hall, Director of Public Works, used a wall map to show the Way Street proposed one -way north bound street. MOVED BY VAN DUSEN, SECONDED BY TRAYNOR, THAT STEVE HALL PROCEED WITH NECESSARY ARRANGEMENTS TO MAKE MAULE AVENUE A ONE -WAY STREET. CARRIED. Kjell Stoknes, Director of Office of Community Development, showed the proposed Christensen Greenbelt. He showed the master plan: Linear Park which connects and develops the major features along the Green River between I -405 and South 180th Street. The major activities would be fishing, kyaking, picnicing, strolling, biking, skateboarding and jogging. Development which enhances the above activities is suggested such as floats, historical monuments, informa- tion plaques, sculpture, shelters, parking, and landscaping. Phase I would be the basic initial development and must be constructed all at once to be successful. It would consist of: path between I -405 and South 180th Street, hydroseeding of barren areas to control dust; construction of parking lots and traffic revisions; benches, picnic tables, and litter containers, Phase II is an ongoing maintenance and development program which guides the growth of the park as the years pass by and would include: landscaping (primarily trees); floats; historical monuments and sculpture, nature trails, and informa- tion plaques. He said Phase I is expected to cost about $162,000 and should be constructed in one year. Phase II which is the estimated status quo maintenance costs are expected to be $12,000 per year (including one man and equipment). If twice this amount is spent per year on the project ($24,000) Phase II will be realized in about 10 years. Phase II will present an excellent opportunity to involve civic groups for the donation and installation of materials to complete the park (i.e., trees and historical monuments). He added that State funding support will provide the catalyst necessary to get this project going. He asked that the Council reaffirm Resolution No. 527.
