Berry Assistant Planner CVB /blk • % i;� City of Tukwila X1908 6200 Southcenter Boulevard Tukwila Washington 98188 Gary L VanDusen, Mayor MEMORANDUM TO: Brad Collins, Planning Director FROM: Phillip R. Fraser, Senior Engineer DATE: July 15, 1983 SUBJECT: Off- Street Parking Dimensions, Table 3 of Tukwila Zoning Code Per my review of the off - street parking dimensions on Table 3 it is apparent that the Code has not been completed for aisle widths for one and two way traffic for compact vehicles. In my discussions with Caroline Berry of your department aisle widths utilized for compact vehicles has been to the most strict requirements for full -size. vehicles. In my discussions with John Hendrickson of the Seattle Engineering Department. on 7/15/83 Mr. Hendrickson concurred with my conclusions that for the parking angle of 90 degrees, that a compact car stall could be provided with a 16- foot depth stall and stall width of 9.5 feet, marked for compact cars. Then, with this stall design a one -way traffic aisle width of 22 feet is appropri- ate using the information available from Table 3. The rationale for the 22 -foot aisle width for one -way traffic is as follows: The stall width is a direct function determining the aisle width, as reflected in the chart dimensions. The aisle width is not a function of the stall depth because vehicles can fill to the back of stall depth. The stall depth then is limited to the function of storage and not turn- ing movements for vehicles. The width of the stall is used in the template design to determine the maximum turning movement.within the stall widths. Therefore, if compact vehicles were afforded the same stall width as regular vehicles then the corresponding aisle widths could also be applied. In the future, to complete this chart, templates should be provided for compact cars. In my discussion with Mr. Hendrickson he agreed that for compact cars the aisle width may be further reduced due to the shorter length of compact cars . and the ability of compact cars to afford shorter turning radii. However, the chart used by the Seattle Engineering Department has no template design on which this dimension can be based to date. Public Works Director Planning; C.

(<o AGENDA ITEM V) A PROPOSED ACTION ' CITY OF TUKWILA PLANNING DIVISION PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT The Tukwila Parks and Recreation Department is requesting Planning.Commissibn determina- tion of required off - street parking for a neighborhood park and the existing City library. DISCUSSION The City's 1983-budget contains funding for construction of a small -scale neighborhood park adjacent to the present Tukwila Library. In order to complete the final' design of this multi - purpose public facility, the ninsber of on -site parking stalls required - must be determined. ' o 83 -4 -UI Parking for Library and Park, 59th Avenue March 24, 1983 As you are aware, the zoning code does not include a formula. for determining parking requirements for parks or libraries. It appears that this construction was purposeful in that it allows the Commission to evaluate parking for these uses in each specific instance based on size of the facility, geographic location, use characteristics and hours of operation. Exhitit "A" attached is a conceptual plan for Old City Hall Park whl£ch was deveJ'.ped a number of years ago. While this plan is likely to be superseded in the final design, this drawing was reviewed By the Parks Commission at its - regular meeting of . 2 March 1983. The Park Commissioners felt that, although the final design will likely be different, the drawing is sufficiently meaningful to suggest'the probable'scale and intensity of use which will characterize the finished park /library complex. Accordingly, the suggested placement of 13 stalls was deemed appropriate for the final design. One stall will be allocated for the handicapped and one stall will be needed for the librarian. A second part time employee will occasionally iieed.a stall also. In addition to the permanent stalls the City will provide two off" stalls for :passenger load or freight delivery. These These two stalls will be in addition to the 13 permanent stalls. In affirming the 13 -stall figure, the Parks Commission found as follows: A. 9 of the library users walk to the facility according to the librarian. • B. A great majority of the potential park users will walk to the park because of the fact it is being designed as a "neighborhood park." RECOMMENDATION: MC /blk • ae -c- 13-4-01 Parking for Library and Park, 59th Avenue March 24, 1983 C. Limited off -site parking on nearby streets is available. D. Major use of the park and library will be by individuals, small groups `or. families. Occasionally', large group-use may occur but infrequently. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission specify the provision of a minimum of 13 off - street parking stalls for the public park and.library site 59th Avenue South and South 147th Street in the final design of the facility, according to TMC 18.56.050.

RICHARD KIRSOP, PLANNING COMMISSION CHAIRMAN FROM: Don Williams, Parks and Recreation Director DATE: March 3, 1983 SUBJECT: Decision on parking stall requirements for Old City Hall Park/ Tukwila Library Within the 1983 City Budget, :funds have been provided to construct a small park at the old city hall site. We have not settled on a final design, but we are attempting to resolve several important concerns. One such concern is the number of on site parking stalls that will be required. According to Mark Caughey, the Zoning Ordinance does not have a formula for determining how many stalls are required for parks or libraries. He has asked me to obtain a suggested number from the Park Commission, which I have done. In addition I have my opinion which matches the Park Commission's. At the Park Commission's March 2, 1983 meeting the park project was discussed and specifically how many parking stalls the Park Commission felt the park /library should have on site. After a lengthy discussion a motion was made by Ann Crain recommending 13 stalls be provided on site. Dick Stemwell seconded the motion and it unanimously passed. Based on this motion I am asking the Planning Commission to rule on the 13 stall recommendation. I agree with the suggested number. As it is now planned the 13 stalls will surround the building on its east.. and south sides. One stall will be for the handicapped and one stall will be needed for the librarian. A second part time employee will occasionally need a stall also. In addition to the permanent stalls we will provide two "drop off" stalls for those needing to stop for a very short period. These two stalls will be in addition to the 13 permanent stalls. The Park Commission considered many factors concerning the number of stalls that may be needed. Mark Caughey attended the meeting and may be able to add additional information. These were some of their concerns and thoughts: d A. 90% of the library users walk to the facility according to the librarian. R. A great majority of the potential park users will walk to the park because of the fact it is being designed as a "neighborhood park." Page -2- MR. RICHARD KIRSOP, 'INNING COMMISSION CHAIRMAN March 3, 1983 DW /blk C. Off site parking on nearby streets is available. D. The majority type of use of the park and library will be by individuals or very small groups or families. Occasionally large -group use could occur, but very infrequently. (Fire Codes will limit this type of building use.) I hope this additional information will help you in your deliberations. I plan to attend your meeting to answer any questions you may have and to help . explain the project.

Additional Commissioners present were Dick Stemwell and Wayne Nelson. Donna Segale had informed the Commission she would be out of town and Ann Crain had informed Don Williams she was ill. Minutes of the January 5, 1983 meeting were approved as written. Don Williams introduced Wayne Nelson to the other Commissioners, and Ernie Lueckenotte as the new operator at Foster Golf Links. Don requested the Commission address agenda item V)A. first which would allow Ernie to leave the meeting early. The Commissioners agreed to the agenda change. INFORMATION OR DISCUSSION ITEMS Ernie Lueckenotte, new P.G.A Professional at Foster Golf Links, explained some of the details and plans he has for Foster's operation. He plans to continue the same menu and add several new items and soon will exchange the locations of the pro shop and lounge. The relocation of the pro shop will allow his staff better observation of play. He plans to properly staff the pro shop with enough manpower to cover peak play, especially weekends. This will include a starter and course marshal. He has met with the Men's Club which now has 262 members and believes it will grow to over 300 by the end of the year. He has also met with the Womens Club which has over 50 members. Don Williams attended both meetings and explained the new operation and answered questions. Ernie stated he wanted the Commission to understand that he hoped the City maintenance personnel would be well trained and not switched around. He feels it is very important to have good people performing the maintenance. He is eager to work with the new greens keeper. He thanked the Commissioners for their interest and invited them to stop by. ACTION ITEMS 0ld City Hall Park Don Williams explained that in the 1983 Budget a total of $39,992 has been made available to design and construct the new park. The old police build- Page -2- PARK CONMISSION MINUTES February 2, 1983 ( ing was removed in 1982 and it is the Mayor and Council's desire to compl to the project this year. The original 1978 design was prepared by Carl Stixrood, city landscape architect, and it included a playcourt, tot lot, basketball hoop, benches parking and grass area. Since 1978 the old city hall /school has been listed on the National Historic Register, and the building is now used as a library and home of the Tukwila Historical Society. Also, the Tukwila school is only one block away and has had its volume of playground expand-d since 1978. Don stated he would like the Commissioners to re- examine th original plan and discuss any new ideas. He would like to present this information to the various groups involved and the Council.:: Don explained, using the original drawing, the original plan. A discussi•n followed with many suggestions presented. Wynn Anderson stated perhaps the tot lot play area should be closer' to th building. Also, he felt a grass area is needed and the play court area would not be a problem. If more parking is needed the driveway next to the fire station could be utilized, but he felt people were in and out of the library fairly fast and not a lot of parking would be needed. Dick Stemwell suggested that because the building was originally a schoo the area could be developed to look like the old school yard with a play shed or whatever. He felt a "historic theme" would be appropriate conce ing design. Wayne Nelson had a concern about exiting to the park area from the build especially during the summer season. He would like a good outdoor seati area. He questioned the need for all of the active areas. Don agreed. The Commissioners concluded they would prefer not to use the "active area" theme but instead a "historic ".theme. It was suggested the old cupola could be included in some way, perhaps as a. small shelter or on top of a shelter used as a covered reading area. It was also felt the number of parking stalls should be kept to a minimum. Foster Golf Links Irrigation Project ng, 8 Don reported there had been a suggestion to include a Sister Cities Japa ese Garden. It was felt the park could include such a garden, but it would .e better to do so at another park, like along Christensen Trail or City Ha 1. Most felt City Hall was the best site, and wherever it may be built shou d be done well and be kept well maintained. Don Williams stated he would continue to investigate the parking concern and the cost of a consultant. Wynn Anderson would like to see city staf complete the design. Don stated he did not know if that would be possib e. INFORMATION OR DISCUSSION ITEMS Continued Don reported the city had hired Don,Hogan to design the system for the five holes and would be going out to bid the first part of February.

Winter Program Lynn Devoir reports the winter program is underway with all athletic leagues full and playing, teen center active and senior program growing. A total of 38 classes were offered with three classes added because of too large of enrollment. It appeared 13 classes would be cancelled because of low enrollment. The classes will cost about $3,700 for instructors and will generate about $4,500 in revenues. The athletic leagues will earn several hundred dollars profit. Wayne Nelson stated the floor for the tumbling class was dirty. Don stated the cleaning company did not clean Friday night before the Saturday morning class, but he'd try to have staff work on it. Upper Foster Park Youth Athletic Field Project It was reported that the King County Parks Department would be going out to bid for the construction of the youth soccer and baseball field in February. Staff will have to wait for the bids to see what can be built with the $42,000 in construction funds. City's 75th Anniversary Several members of the Committee visited the Park Commission meeting to explain what is being planned. The Park and Recreation Department were asked to relate as many activities as could be done to the anniversary. Such activities as the golf tournament, softball tournament and playground programs will emphasize the anniversary. OTHER - ITFMS Letter from Christian Runners Club Don Williams read a letter from Greg Swansen, a member of the Christian Runners Club, telling us about their club and Saturday runs of the trail.

G : ?T, I enjoyed talking with you at the Seuthcenter Health and Fitness Fair on Saturday, and it was very good news to me to hear of Tukwila's plans to expand the Christensen Green Belt path in the near future. As president of the Christian Runners Club, I as writing this note to let yeti know that we use the park every Saturday morning at 9100 A.M. for a team fun run followed by a short social time for Gatorade and cookies in the leg cabin. We currently have 17 members, and the club is growing each week. The planned expansions (especially Phase 4;t• the south) will offer us, as well as the many other runners we see in the park each Saturday, sere of what drew us to Christensen Green Belt Park in the first place: miles of safe, attractive trails to run en away from traffie. Perhaps while things are still in the planning phase, you could explore the possibility of lighting the trail as well, a• that runners would be able to use the path after dark. If there is anything we as a club can do to support you in your negotiations for budget money or in planning the trail, please let me know. We are all excited to knew "our" park is expanding, and leek forward with eager anticipation to the beginning of the next phase.
