The required public hearing was held on December 3, 2007 before the City Council. After the close of the public hearing and during deliberations, a number of Council members expressed concerns about the condition of the station and requested a continuation of the deliberations in order to allow time to discuss issues with Staff. After the Council meeting, Staff met with three Council members on issues and wording of conditions. Attachment A contains a list of comments provided by one Council member. Procedural Posture of this Proceeding On Monday night the Council moved to continue the deliberation of Sound Transit's application for an Unclassified Use Permit to December 10, 2007. The motion to continue the deliberation was made after the public hearing was closed. As a result of this continuation the Council is bound by the record that was created at the public hearing. As was stated at the meeting on Monday, no new additional factual information can be considered by the Council. Thus, any condition that is proposed must relate to the record that was before the Council on 12 -3 -07. If additional information regarding Sound Transit issue is desired, staff will be able to provide that after the Council's decision on this permit application. Proposed Revisions to the Recommended Conditions Below is a list of issues resulting from the hearing, from Council deliberations and from individual meetings with three Council members after Monday's meeting. One Councilmember provided a list of his issues, which are shown on Attachment A to this memo. An alternative list of conditions has been drafted for your consideration. These conditions of approval for the UUP are directly related to staff's evaluation of the criteria for unclassified uses, which was included in the Staff Report distributed for the December 3, 2007 Council meeting and on the existing record. • handicap accessibility - See condition #2a • local artwork versus regional — See condition #3 • station identification/name — See Condition #2b • LED signs — See staff report page 8, first paragraph, under Safety and Security Steven M Mullet, Mayor Pate 1 of 4 r - nR1RR .

We need a completion date for all of construction/physical items (in their letter and below) and I think it should be 90 days from signing for the safety ones. Items #2 & #8 could be allowed 180 days. 2. Pay phone for after hours use 3. Train Arrival LEDS 4. Parking — we need a stronger role in the decision making process because it is the City that is impacted. We also need a timeline for the decision(s) that allows forward looking solutions if the ridership increases dramatically (gas prices, etc.) 5. Need a way to protect riders from the prevailing SW winds /rain. Perhaps some kind of see -thru plexiglass ?? 6. A full -up discussion with ST major decision makers and Tukwila elected's on the issue of using East Area funds for the station.

Applicant's letter requesting UUP Vicinity Map Site Plan — Civil Layout Public Comments Received Sound Transit Letter RE: Temporary Station Enhancements Page 1 of 19 Staff Report to the Tukwila City Council L07 -065: Unclassified Use Permit for Sound Transit's Commuter Rail Station PUBLIC COMMENTS During the public comment period, nine email responses from users of the facility were received (see Attachment D). These responses included concerns regarding safety and security at the site, protection from wind and rain, slippery surfaces in winter, auto and vanshare parking space availability, and unattractiveness of the facility, signage and artwork. An informational public meeting was held on September 19, 2007. No members of the public attended. BACKGROUND Sound Transit originally applied in 1999 for an unclassified use permit for a permanent commuter rail station. However, because Sound Transit and the City of Tukwila realized that a number of land use and transportation projects being initiated in proximity to the station (e.g., the urban center plan and Strander Blvd extension project) could have significant impact on the location and design of the station, Sound Transit agreed to temporarily postpone the design and construction of a permanent station to respond to these planning efforts. (As a point of clarification, Sound Transit maintains that the City of Tukwila agreed to up to a 10 -year postponement, but this is incorrect. In a 2005 Settlement Agreement between the City of Renton and Sound Transit, both parties agreed to postpone the permanent station construction for up to 10 years, but the City of Tukwila was not a party to that agreement.) Consequently, in November 2000, the City Council approved an unclassified use permit for a temporary station, valid until February 2004. In 2004, the issues regarding the Strander extension project (including the Union Pacific railroad relocation and the precise location of Strander Blvd.), the final location of the commuter rail station, and other design considerations were still unsettled. Sound Transit requested a renewal of the UUP to allow more time to coordinate station design with the Strander project. The City approved the renewal, valid for three additional years until December 31, 2007, with conditions requiring the construction of two additional temporary shelters. These shelters have since been constructed. Since a UUP may only be renewed once (TMC 18.66.070), Sound Transit is requesting a new UUP at this time. Since the renewal of the UUP in 2004, the following activities have taken place: • In 2005, Renton completed 30% design of the Strander Boulevard extension. Relocation of the Union Pacific railroad right -of -way is anticipated to be completed by 2009. • In 2007, Tukwila staff and consultants initiated a type, size and location (TS &L) study to refine the location of the key pedestrian corridor connecting the Mall to the station. • In March, 2006, Sound Transit and the Cities of Tukwila and Renton prepared a master plan for the Tukwila Station, incorporating the location of the Strander Blvd extension and Tukwila's draft Urban Center concepts. Initial estimates showed that the construction costs for full build -out of the station master plan will exceed the remaining Sound Move funding Page 2 of 19 61 62 Staff Report to the Tukwila City Council L07 -065: Unclassified Use Permit for Sound Transit's Commuter Rail Station for the station. Consequently, Sound Transit's first priority will be to construct Phase I of the project, including the permanent platforms and a limited number of critical station elements. • In September 2007, Sound Transit initiated preliminary engineering and environmental documentation (PE/ED) that will advance the design for the full build -out of the permanent station through 30 %. Completion of this phase is anticipated in August, 2008. FINDINGS VICINITY /SITE AND OPERATIONS INFORMATION Temporary Station Description The platforms of the temporary commuter rail station are located within the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) right -of -way just south of Longacres Way in the City of Tukwila (see Attachments B &C). The supporting park and ride lot, passenger load zone and bus stops are located east of the platforms on the Boeing Longacres site, which is in the City of Renton. There are two passenger platforms 600 feet in length adjacent to the existing BNSF railway tracks, with one wheelchair- accessible ramp at the northern end of each platform. The platforms are constructed adjacent to the existing embankment, which is approximately 15 feet above ground level in this location. The platforms are 10 feet wide (Sound Transit's design guidelines call for 16' wide side platforms) and have a chain link fence as a railing along the back edge and sides of the platforms. Access to the platforms is via stairs and wood framed ramps. Pedestrian connections from the parking lot to the southbound platform on the west side of the tracks are made by way of the S. Longacres Way underpass. Each of the platforms has two canopy shelters. The two northbound shelters and one southbound shelter contain seating. The station platforms and parking area are well lit. A total of 250 parking stalls are provided on leased Boeing property in the City of Renton. The parking area is fenced off from the remaining Boeing property. The gate on the east side of the BNSF tracks and north of the parking lot is open for two hours in the morning and two hours in the evening, allowing Metro bus traffic to circulate between the City of Renton and Tukwila to pick up /drop off passengers. Also on site are a security guard station, a shelter housing ticket machines, ten bicycle storage lockers, and a bicycle rack. Operations Sounder Sounder service currently consists of six trains northbound and one train southbound in the morning, and one train northbound and six trains southbound in the evening. Additional Page 3 of 19 Staff Report to the Tukwila City Council L07 -065: Unclassified Use Permit for Sound Transit's Commuter Rail Station roundtrip service would most likely be available within the next five years. Sound Transit's 2030 ridership scenarios anticipate 18 trains daily, or nine roundtrips per weekday. Amtrak Amtrak also utilizes the temporary station platforms for the Cascade service between Eugene, Oregon and Vancouver, B.C. Eight trains stop daily, four northbound and four southbound. 2005 ridership figures indicate that 14,000 on and off trips occurred at Tukwila Station. Amtrak's long term ridership projections (13 roundtrips /day) anticipate 140,000 trips per year. WSDOT's Rail Planning and Policy Coordinator indicated that ridership forecasts are based on current ridership. Amtrak has not promoted the station because of its temporary facilities and limited parking. With the construction of a permanent station with high quality facilities and safe, secure waiting and parking areas, greater increases in ridership could be expected. Metro Metro currently has four different bus routes ( #110, 140, 126, and 154) serving the Tukwila Station during weekday peak hours when the Sounder trains are operating. There is no transit service at the station during mid -day hours or on weekends. SOUND TRANSIT'S REQUEST FOR AN UNCLASSIFIED USE PERMIT Sound Transit is requesting an Unclassified Use Permit for the continued operation of the existing Sounder commuter rail station for an additional five years, until 2012. Sound Transit is not proposing any new structures or significant improvements at the site. Therefore, design review is not required. The original UUP for the temporary station was approved by Council in 2000 and renewed in 2004, with the anticipation that the permanent station would be in place by December 31, 2007. To date, Sound Transit's work on the design and construction of the permanent station has not been completed. Sound Transit's letter requesting the UUP is attached to this staff report (See Attachment A). Sound Transit has proposed the following schedule for the design and construction of the permanent commuter rail station: • Preliminary Engineering and Environmental Documentation phase began in September 2007. • Completion of 30% design and the NEPA analysis is anticipated in August, 2008. • Final design will take approximately 12 months (August, 2009) • Following a four month bidding period, construction of Phase I of the permanent station (or full build -out if future funding becomes available) will take 14 to 24 months. • Phase I of the permanent station would be open and operational by 2011 or 2012. Page 4 of 19 63 Staff Report to the Tukwila City Council L07 -065: Unclassified Use Permit for Sound Transit's Commuter Rail Station CRITERIA FOR UNCLASSIE LED USES (TMC 18.66.060) City Council approval of an unclassified use permit is guided by the nine criteria of the Zoning Code (18.66.060) and a determination that the project is consistent with the Tukwila plans and regulations (18.100.030 TMC). The applicant's response to each of the criteria is contained verbatim below, and is followed by a staff response if additional information is required or available. The City Council may approve the project as proposed, establish conditions on the project approval, or deny the project. 1. Where appropriate and feasible, all facilities shall be underground. Applicant's response: "Sound Move, the regional transportation plan, shows the use of existing heavy rail tracks, which are above ground, for commuter rail services. The existing use, and one for which this permit is request, is a temporary commuter rail station located adjacent to existing Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railroad lines. The temporary station was constructed under permit following the City granting an Unclassified Use Permit to Sound Transit. It is not desirable or feasible to grade the lines to create a temporary underground commuter rail station." Staff Response: City regulations require undergrounding of all new electrical and communication facilities. Sound Transit is not proposing any changes to the heavy rail tracks that are currently being used by the Sounder trains. The applicant is not proposing any changes to the lighting on -site or on the platforms. Power to the lighting is currently provided from power lines strung overhead. 2. The proposed use will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity. Applicant's response: "The access to the adjoining vacant lots is secured by chain link fences thus reducing any potential security issues. Special provisions are also in place so that aid and fire equipment can transverse the gate on Boeing property at any time. Also Sound Transit has security guards at the station for 16 hours (5:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.) each day the train operates. These provisions were put in place at the time the temporary station was constructed In response to user feedback Sound Transit installed two additional shelters and additional maintenance to ensure weather protection and safe footing. Sound Transit commissioned a longevity study in 2003 and a maintenance plan, to ident5 the required interventions and maintenance to enable the station to last another 10 years until replaced by the permanent station. Sound Transit Facilities Maintenance Division has followed the reports recommendations and will continue monitoring to ensure proper functioning. The environmental impacts of the station were addressed in Sound Transit Tacoma -to- Seattle Rail Environmental Assessment (Federal Transit Administration and Sound 64 Page 5 of 19 Staff Report to the Tukwila City Council L07 -065: Unclassified Use Permit for Sound Transit's Commuter Rail Station Transit, June 1998). The analysis and conclusions included in the Environmental Assessment are summarized below. Socioeconomic. The commuter rail station would operate on existing tracks. No existing uses would be displaced by the proposal. The proposed action would not involve significant adverse impacts on the populations protected by Executive order 12898, Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low - Income Populations. Based on the socioeconomic analysis, the proposed commuter rail station has the potential to provide mobility benefits to transit- dependent populations, while reducing household costs. Transportation. Traffic increases associated with commuter rail travel to the station would be limited to morning and evening commute hours. West Valley Highway, located west of the proposed station site, is a principal north -south arterial connecting directly to 1-405. Vehicles would enter the station primarily via Longacres Way. Operation of the station would not cause levels of service to change from projected future baseline conditions; intersection -by- intersection analysis results are summarized below and discussed in more detail in the Environmental Assessment (EA). The intersections of Longacres Way/West Valley Highway, Stander Boulevard/West Valley Highway and Lind Ave /SW 16th Street are expected to operate at acceptable LOS D or better during the 1997, 1010 baseline and 2010 proposed action p.m. peak hour traffic conditions. The intersection of Fort Dent Road/West Valley Highway is operating at LOS E under existing conditions and would continue to operate at this level under the proposed action. The intersection of Grady Way/West Valley Highway and South 180th Street/West Valley Highway are operation at LOS F under existing conditions and would continue to operate at this level under the proposed action. The intersection of Lind Avenue /Grady Way is operating at LOS D under existing conditions, and is expected to fall to LOS E both under 2010 future baseline and proposed action. The intersections of Oaksdale Avenue /SW 16th Street and Oaksdale Avenue /Grady Way currently operated at LOS B and C respectively. The 2010 baseline and proposed action levels of service are projected to fall to LOS E for the Oaksdale /SW 16th Street intersection and LOS Ffor the Oaksdale /Grady intersection. Noise. The proposed commuter rail station in not expected to cause noise or vibration annoyance. Potential sources of noise and ground -borne would include idling locomotives, feeder bus traffic and increased automobile traffic on adjacent roadways. Measures will be taken to control vibration along the commuter route, which will operate at first between Tacoma and Seattle; these include rail grinding, wheel truing, wheel flat detectors systems, and vehicle reconditioning programs. Hazardous Materials. No contaminated sites included on the Washington State LUSTT, UST and CSCS lists, or in the federal EPA database occur on the proposed site, and the operation of the station will not increase the risk of contamination. Page 6of19 65 Staff Report to the Tukwila City Council L07 -065: Unclassified Use Permit for Sound Transit's Commuter Rail Station Biological Resources. The proposed station has been cleared and graded in the fairly recent past, and is currently vacant. No significant biological resources will be affected by the construction or operation of the station. Historical, Park and Recreational Resources. No properties listed under or eligible for listing under the National Register of Historic Properties and the Washington Heritage register are located on or in the vicinity of the proposed station. No parks or recreation facilities would be directly displaced by the proposed use and no significant impacts to park and recreation resources located in the vicinity of the station site are anticipated. Cultural Resources. No potentially significant cultural resources were identified during field reconnaissance and no archaeological sites are recorded in the project area. If archaeological material is encountered during the proposed project construction, work should be halted and the Office of Archaeological and Historic Preservation are to be consulted to determine the appropriate follow -up. Visual Quality. The station pla would add some visual diversity but would have little effect on the visual resources of the area. The station is expected to improve the appearance of the site by replacing unkempt open space. Safety and Security. The proposed station has been designed to promote safety and security. Potential commuter rail safety and security issues include safe operational interface between all transportation modes as, well as passenger safety and security aboard buses and trains, at transit stations, and in adjacent areas. Pedestrians would use the existing undercrossing, thus avoiding the need too cross tracks at grade. Passenger security both off and on the train has been incorporated into the proposed project. The design allows for ease of surveillance for police and patrol cars. The shelters will be well lighted, well maintained and patrolled by local police and transit security force. Air Quality. The air quality impacts of the proposed use were evaluated as part of the planning process, in close cooperation with the Puget Sound Air Pollution Control Agency (PSAPCA). The evaluation of air quality impacts indicate that corridor level emissions of carbon monoxide and particulate matter would be reduced under the proposed action relative to the 2010 baseline condition. Emissions of hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen would be slightly higher, due to the addition of commuter rail locomotives. Water Quality. The nominal impacts to water quality at the proposed site are primarily related to associated erosion and contaminate transport during construction. Earth. The proposed project will involve minimal earthwork (i.e. grading) for construction. Re- establishment of vegetation in non paved cleared areas, as soon as 6 6 Page 7 of 19 Staff Report to the Tukwila City Council L07 -065: Unclassified Use Permit for Sound Transit's Commuter Rail Station possible and application of appropriate ground cover would be used to minimize the potential of erosion hazards during operation." Staff Response: Environmental Assessment The NEPA Environmental Assessment (EA) prepared in 1998 analyzed transportation, noise and air quality impacts using a 2010 planning horizon, however Sound Transit is proposing operating the temporary station until 2012. As part of the preliminary design and engineering for the permanent station, Sound Transit will be updating the NEPA EA, including assessing transportation impacts. Safety and Security Parking Lot. Security guards are on -site from 5:30 a.m to 9:00 p.m. weekdays, and on weekends when Sound Transit operates special event trains. Guards are to be present on the platforms when trains arrive and depart, and tour the site at least once an hour. Security guards also observe the vacant Sound Transit property located west of the platforms, between the UP and BNSF tracks, and report any illegal activities. Personal and vehicular safety are a greater concern when the security guard is off -duty. This station is considered a destination rather than an origin for riders, with the parking lot the fullest (at 2/3 capacity) in the evenings and weekends as people return to the station, board the trains, and leave their vehicles there overnight. Responses from the public included reports of vandalism and theft of parked cars on the lot during evenings and on weekends when the security guard is not on duty. The absence of security and the fact that this station is one of the most isolated along the Sounder corridor make it more vulnerable for crimes and vandalism. The City of Renton Police Department is responsible for responding to emergency calls at the site. (However, no crime statistics are available through Renton's Police Department because up until recently, City of Renton did not have an address assigned to the parking lot.) Sound Transit has indicated that their signage clearly states, "Not responsible for loss from theft, property damage or personal injury." There are no emergency call -boxes on site for passengers to use after hours or on the weekends. There are also no pay - phones on site for passengers' use, which can make transfers to the airport or other locations more difficult. For example, WSDOT's Rail Planning and Policy Coordinator has indicated that Amtrak conductors routinely call ahead to arrange taxi service for passengers disembarking at the Tukwila Station, since no phones are available at the station. As part of their request for a UUP, Sound Transit has agreed to install an emergency call -box at the station which will be hard -wired into their proprietary fiber optic system. Sound Transit has indicated that a pay -phone will be installed as part of the permanent station. The Tukwila Police Department, in their review of the application, noted that security cameras on -site do not cover ticket vending machines. Sound Transit has indicated that the camera placement and coverage, combined with the on -site security guard, are sufficient. Closed TV Page 8 of 19 67 Staff Report to the Tukwila City Council L07 -065: Unclassified Use Permit for Sound Transit's Commuter Rail Station monitors record site activities 24 hours each day. Also, security guards do not have visibility in all directions from inside the guard shelter. As part of their request for a UUP, Sound Transit has agreed to add windows to the shelter or replace it with one that has windows on all sides to improve visibility. Pla and Ramps. Ramps, walks and platforms have been reported as dangerous in winter due to the slickness of the surface, even with the current practice of applying de -icing chemicals by the security guards. In addition, there are no handrails on the access ramps for use in slippery conditions and by the physically disabled. As part of their request for a UUP, Sound Transit has agreed to install "slip- resistant surfaces" on ramps and stairs. Visual Quality Public comments on the station's visual quality and image for Tukwila included concerns regarding the negative contribution of the weathered art work and station signage anchored in buckets of cement. According to Sound Transit's Longevity Study for the Tukwila Station (2003), the Tukwila Station sign at the parking lot entrance was to be replaced within one year. As part of their request for a UUP, Sound Transit has indicated they will be upgrading the existing station identification sign and adding informational signage describing the temporary nature of the station, the status of the permanent station, the parking lot address, emergency contact information, and opportunities for public involvement in the station design process. As part of their UUP request, Sound Transit has agreed to replace the existing artwork. Transportation This station is primarily a destination for passengers who are employed, shopping or visiting in the surrounding area. Primary access to the station is from Longacres Way, which becomes a private two -lane access easement at the east margin of the Puget Sound Energy's right -of -way to Tukwila's city limits with Renton. Riders can also access the station from the Boeing Longacres Campus site via private walking paths. Metro bus service at the station is limited, with connecting bus service limited to peak hours. Currently, there is no weekend or mid -day bus service to Tukwila Station even though Amtrak trains stop there during those times. Better transit connections between Tukwila Station and other activity areas (such as the 154 Street light rail station, Tukwila International Blvd, other employment areas within Tukwila) should be explored. Metro buses access the station via SW 16 Street through Boeing property. Boeing limits bus access to hours of Sounder operation via a gate at the north end of the parking lot. 3. The proposed use shall meet or exceed the same standards for parking, landscaping, yards and other development regulations that are required in the district it will occupy. Applicant's response: "The only facilities located in Tukwila are wholly within the BNSF right -of -way. The existing 200 plus space parking lot in Renton has reached capacity. Parking counts performed by security indicate that occupancy climbs from approximately 170 during the AM boardings to approximately 205 by 4 PM Tukwila has approximately 68 Page 9 of 19 Staff Report to the Tukwila City Council L07 -065: Unclassified Use Permit for Sound Transit's Commuter Rail Station 2.4 more passengers getting off in the morning than getting on and similar opposite ratio in the evening; indicating that the station is a destination rather than origin of riders. The lot is approximately 2 /3rd full when the security guard leaves at 9PM. The afternoon increase in parking appears be associated with people returning to the station and leaving their cars (and RideShare vans). The combination of riders getting on and off at the same time creates a difficult parking management issue. The master plan calls for 350 stalls. As lots become full along the Sounder line, Sound Transit is evaluating a number of options including adding additional parking, better coordinating with feeder bus routes and parking management. Adequate access and lighting of the access were the minimum standards required at the time of approval. Also, improvements on Longacres Way in the form of drop -off areas were constructed" Staff Response: The majority of station elements, including parking, are located in the City of Renton. Only the temporary station platforms are located in the City of Tukwila, within the TUC district. Landscaping, which is typically required of any new development within the TUC district, takes approximately three years to become established. The applicant did not develop a landscape plan as part of the original proposal, since the application was for a "temporary improvement." There are no landscape plans proposed as part of this application. City regulations require undergrounding of all new electrical and communication facilities (13.08.060 TMC).The applicant is not proposing any changes to the lighting. Power to the lighting is provided from power lines strung overhead. Parking, as discussed in the applicant's response, is at capacity. There are no City standards for required number of parking spaces for automobiles at rail stations. Parking issues at the site are different from other lots along the corridor, according to Sound Transit. Sound Transit has indicated that there are 75 vanshares currently registered at the site, carrying a ridership of 513. Sound Transit's Transportation Service Division identified parking issues throughout the Sounder Commuter line in a 2006 study, and has established a System Access and Parking Committee to address parking issues along the rail corridor. Tukwila Station is one of the committee's priorities and will be addressed separately from other stations, given the different parking use pattern. Sound Transit's priority for accommodating access to stations is: 1. Pedestrian 2. Sounder commuter rail, Express bus, local transit, including paratransit services; 3. Accessible parking 4. Bicycle/Passenger drop -off 5. CarShare/VanShare and Carpool/Vanpool 6. Motorcycle /Scooter & Private Shuttle/Taxi 7. Passenger vehicles (park -and -ride) Page 10 of 19 69 70 Staff Report to the Tukwila City Council L07 -065: Unclassified Use Permit for Sound Transit's Commuter Rail Station Consequently, Sound Transit first priority in addressing parking shortages is to explore alternatives to providing more parking for single- occupancy passenger vehicles. According to Sound Transit, initial actions by the Parking Committee may include: • Striving for more efficient use of vanshare through higher occupancy and scheduling; • Consolidating vanshares to larger para- transit vehicles; and • More marketing of vanpools. Sound Transit has indicated they would endorse City efforts to establish parking restrictions and other appropriate parking management strategies in the surrounding areas. However, this type of spillover parking does not appear to be an issue at this time. There are currently ten bicycle storage lockers and a bicycle rack on site. The storage lockers are fully in use and Sound Transit has indicated that there are ten people currently on the wait list. There is generally space available on the bicycle rack. There are no City of Tukwila standards for required number of parking spaces for bicycles at rail stations. Sound Transit has indicated that "additional bicycle lockers would likely require the removal of existing parking stalls and does not feel the additional lockers are required." 4. The proposed development shall be compatible with surrounding land uses. Applicant's response: "The site is within Tukwila's Urban Center; however there are no existing uses within the immediate vicinity. The area to the north, east and south is undeveloped portions of the Boeing Longacres facility. The site to the northwest is proposed for multifamily development but permits have lapsed. Sound transit owns to parcels to the west of the station that will be developed as the permanent station location. The Master Plan for the permanent commuter rail station was developed considering surrounding infrastructure improvements and development potential. The designers will continue to consider the potential for surrounding development during the next phases of design." Staff response: This station is primarily a destination for passengers who are employed, shopping or visiting in the surrounding area. The station is generally compatible with existing land uses in the vicinity, as listed below: • Immediately west of the existing platforms between the UP and BNSF right of ways, is vacant land owned by Sound Transit. This is the site of the future permanent Tukwila Station. • Boeing Commercial Airplane Headquarters buildings are located immediately to the east of the station on their Longacres Campus. • West of the Union Pacific railroad tracks are vacant lands, light industrial and the Interurban regional recreational trail are located west of the Union Pacific railroad tracks. Commercial services are located along West Valley Highway. A warehouse site on Nelson Place, within walking distance of the station, was converted to a catering business. • Within % mile radius of the station are six hotels with hundreds of rooms. • Within 3 mile is the Tukwila urban center, a regional retail and employment center. Page 11 of 19 Staff Report to the Tukwila City Council L07 -065: Unclassified Use Permit for Sound Transit's Commuter Rail Station Future land uses in the vicinity that will be supportive of transit ridership are listed below: • The City approved the Conditional Use and Design Review applications for a mixed use project (Tukwila Station: 291 units and 5000 sq. ft. of retail) on property directly north of the Sound Transit property in 2005. To date, development has not been initiated. Their grading permit for the site has expired, but recently they have requested information about obtaining a building permit for the project. • Boeing's master plan for the 300 acre Longacres Campus area calls for up to 2.6 million square feet of office space with a possible 10,000 employees. • The Federal Reserve Bank building is being constructed on a former Boeing site in the Longacres Office Park in the City of Renton, southeast of the project site. The 95,000 square foot building is expected to house 100 employees. • New retail, dining and entertainment uses are being developed in the urban center, including the 700,000 square foot expansion of the Westfield Mall, and Acme Bowling and associated retail, restaurants, and fitness center. • As part of the Strander Blvd extension project the City of Renton is relocating the Union Pacific Railroad lines eastward, adjacent to the BNSF right -of -way, between I -405 and just south of Strander Blvd. Renton anticipates relocation by 2009. 5. The proposed development shall to the maximum extent feasible be consistent with and promote the goals, objectives, and policies of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and applicable adopted area plans. Applicant's response: "The Comprehensive Plan describes the City's intent to support a high - density, regionally oriented, mixed use center in Tukwila. The Comprehensive Plan generally supports commuter rail in the Urban Center to "help ensure Tukwila's long- term economic viability and competitiveness in the region." The Plan's Urban Center Goal 10.3 Transportation and Circulation, expresses the City's intent to "work with transit providers to develop and fund regional park - and -ride and rail locations where traffic and visual impacts on the Tukwila Urban center are minimized through site design and management." (Goal 10.3.1) Similarly, Goal 10.3.3 Transit service and Facilities support promoting "the development and enhancement of transit service and facilities." The proposed commuter rail station is consistent with these goals. While the location of the existing rail lines fix the station location at the east edge of the Urban Center, its presence will help the urban center maintain a regional orientation and provide transportation infrastructure for continued growth. Its visual impacts are minimal, and traffic impacts result in no changes to the forecast baseline conditions." Staff response: The station is also generally consistent with and supports the following Comprehensive Plan goals and policies: 13.4.6 Continue to support, participate in, and encourage the development and implementation of regional /rapid rail with service to the Tukwila Urban Center, and other emerging efficient - capacity technologies that will serve people traveling to, from, and within Tukwila. Page 12 of 19 71 72 Staff Report to the Tukwila City Council L07 -065: Unclassified Use Permit for Sound Transit's Commuter Rail Station 13.4.10 Encourage and support public transportation service including... the continued development of commuter and light rail particularly with service to the Tukwila Urban Center, and continue to support Commute Trip Reduction service. 13.4.12 The development of any light rail or commuter rail system shall meet the following objectives. - Such systems shall be located in a manner that serves the Tukwila Urban Center and the Tukwila Multi -modal Center, so as to encourage the development of these Centers in the manner contemplated by this Plan and the Countywide Planning Policies. The temporary station is within walking distance of the northern portion of the Tukwila Urban Center. Metro buses accessing the station also stop at the future Tukwila Transit Center (on Andover Park West). Goal 1.9 An economically strong Tukwila Urban Center, with a distinct image and character, of bold architectural form that provides for an intensive mixture of uses along with access to transit, public amenities, and civic facilities. 10.1.2 Public /private investment shall facilitate and encourage overall growth in the Tukwila Urban Center. The current temporary station is comprised of wood frame and coated plywood structures with chain link fences and railings. The canopies are acrylic lap siding and fiberglass roofs. Sound Transit has indicated they will replace the existing artwork on the platforms as part of their UUP request. 13.4.14 Require thatparkingfacilities developed in conjunction with transit facilities be adequately sized and managed to prevent spillover parking onto private property, public property, or public streets. As discussed in previous criteria, parking capacity has been reached and vanshare vehicles in particular appear to have difficulty finding an available parking space. Spillover parking does not appear to be a concern at this time. The parking lot is located within the City of Renton, and must conform to their standards. See also staff's response to criteria #3. Page 13 of 19 Staff Report to the Tukwila City Council L07 -065: Unclassified Use Permit for Sound Transit's Commuter Rail Station 6. The unclassified use shall, to the maximum extent feasible, mitigate all significant adverse environmental impacts on public health and private properties. Full consideration shall be given to: (a) alternative locations and /or routes that reduce or eliminate adverse impacts; and (b) alternative designs that reduce and/or eliminate adverse impacts. Applicant's response: "There are minimal alternatives for locating a commuter rail station within the City of Tukwila to serve the City's Urban Center, the preferred location for transit service to the City. Longacres Way, although private, is the only safe access to the BNSF rail line south of 1-405 and north of S. 180th St because of the existence of the UPRR underpass. The City of Renton plans to extend Strander Blvd across the BNSF and UPRR tracks; however funding for the improvements has yet to be secured The station is designed to be temporary until a permanent station is designed and constructed The permanent station will respond to the City of Tukwila's Urban Center Plan and the City of Renton's Strander Boulevard extension project. Sound Transit provided additional passenger shelters in response to previous UUP permit reviews. No additional improvements are proposed at this time, thus there are no alternative locations or designs that could reduce significant adverse impacts." Staff response: Sound Transit is not proposing any significant changes to the temporary station's location and configuration at this time. As stated in staff responses to previous criteria, as part of their UUP request Sound Transit has agreed to a number of minor improvements to the station, including new signage, additional benches in the southern shelter on the western track, new platform artwork (that may also provide wind and rain shelter), and a guard shelter with better visibility of the site. 7. In the event that a proposed essential public facility of a countywide or statewide nature creates an unavoidable significant adverse environmental or economic impact on the community, compensatory mitigation shall be required. Compensatory mitigation shall include public amenities, incentives or other public benefits which offset otherwise unmitigated adverse impacts of the essential public facility. Where appropriate, compensatory mitigation shall be provided as close to the affected area as possible. Applicant's response: "No additional adverse environmental or economic impacts on the community are anticipated as a result of continued operation of the temporary commuter rail station." Staff response: No additional information. Page 14 of 19 73 74 Staff Report to the Tukwila City Council L07 -065: Unclassified Use Permit for Sound Transit's Commuter Rail Station 8. For uses in residential areas, applicants shall demonstrate that there is no reasonable non - residential alternative site for their use. Applicant's response: "See the response to question 6 above. The site did not initially allow residential uses, however during the City of Tukwila's Urban Center planning process the City decided to allow residential uses adjacent to the commuter rail station." Staff response: After the temporary station was constructed, the City amended the TMC to allow transit- oriented development housing located on property adjacent to and not greater than 'A mile from the Sounder Commuter RailJAmtrak Station as a conditional use (TMC 18.28.40). The temporary station location is fixed at its current location. 9. For uses in residential areas, applicants shall show that the use provides some tangible benefit for the neighborhood. Applicant's response: "The site will provide convenient commuter rail access to nearby residents and workers." Staff response: Sounder commuter rail and Amtrak service will provide viable alternative modes of travel to the single- occupancy vehicle for residents in the area. CONCLUSIONS The application is for the continued operation of the temporary commuter railJAmtrak station for five years, until a permanent station can be constructed and operational. Sound Transit's proposed timeline for design and construction anticipates the expected opening of Phase I of the permanent station in 2011 or 2012. When the UUP for the temporary station was initially approved in 2000, it was intended to be in place only until 2004. As such, it was intended to be a functional rather than well designed facility. In 2012, the temporary station will have been in place a total of 10 years. Based on feedback staff has received from the users of the station, there are significant issues that need to be addressed if it is to be functional for another five years. However, the challenge with extending the use of this facility is in minimizing short term expenses in order to maintain sufficient funds for construction of a permanent station with the high quality design and amenities expected by the City and needed to stimulate future transit- oriented development in the area. Based upon discussion with City staff regarding comments and concerns received from Public Works, Police, Fire, and users of the station, Sound Transit has agreed to providing the following improvements to the temporary Tukwila Station by December 31, 2008 (see appendix E): • Install slip - resistant surfaces on ramps and stairs, to reduce slippery surfaces in winter. Page 15 of 19 Staff Report to the Tukwila City Council L07 -065: Unclassified Use Permit for Sound Transit's Commuter Rail Station • Replace the existing temporary artwork (this process will begin as soon as Sound Transit and the City define the artist selection and review process). Explore the possibility of using it to provide shelter from wind and rain • Replace and install station identification signage in a manner not requiring the sign posts to be installed in buckets of concrete. • Install signage that informs the public as to the temporary nature of the station, provides the station address, provides an update on the status of the permanent station, invites them to participate in the design process, and provides contact information for emergencies or to be involved in the design of the permanent station. • Provide two benches in the southern shelter on the western track. • Upgrade or replace the guard shelter to provide more windows that allow for better surveillance of the site. • Install a handrail on each access ramp. • Install an emergency call -box in a location to be determined by Sound Transit. • Meet with Metro transit planners and Tukwila Public Works and Department of Community Development staff to discuss short-term and long -term coordination of transit to and from the temporary commuter rail station. (Any change to Metro service requires King County approval.) • Provide City Council updates twice a year on the status of planning, construction and funding for the permanent station. The updates will be scheduled to coincide with design, engineering, and construction milestones for the permanent station project, and will also include a summary of maintenance that has occurred at the station and updates on ridership and service changes. Consequently, considering the above commitments made by Sound Transit, staff conclusions regarding the unclassified use criteria (Section 18.66.060 TMC) are as follows. 1. Where appropriate and feasible, all facilities shall be underground. The temporary station is already in place. Sound Transit is not proposing any significant changes to the existing facilities. It is not feasible to underground the platforms that are associated with the BNSF rail lines. 2. The proposed use will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity. Based on feedback staff received from station users, there are a number of personal and vehicular safety and security concerns at the station. Sound Transit has agreed to install an emergency call - box at the temporary station in 2008. Vehicles parked during the security guard's off -hours park there at their own risk. The City of Renton is responsible for responding to emergency calls at the temporary station site. Sound Transit is taking steps to ensure that the temporary facilities and amenities associated with the station (such as signage, artwork, ramps and platforms) are kept in good condition, both structurally and aesthetically, so that passenger safety is ensured and the temporary nature of the facility does not convey a negative image of Tukwila. Sound Transit is taking additional Page 16of19 75 76 Staff Report to the Tukwila City Council L07 -065: Unclassified Use Permit for Sound Transit's Commuter Rail Station measures to reduce slippery surfaces in winter and to improve passenger safety on the ramps, particularly for the handicapped. If Sound Transit completes the safety, security and maintenance improvements they have agreed to, the proposed use will not be detrimental or the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvement in the vicinity. 3. The proposed use shall meet or exceed the same standards for parking, landscaping, yards and other development regulations that are required in the district it will occupy. The temporary station is already in place, and the applicant is not proposing additional structures, landscaping or other facilities that would need to comply with TUC district standards. The parking lot is located entirely within the city limits of Renton, so Tukwila standards do not apply. However, ensuring that there is sufficient parking capacity over the next five years for station patrons is a concern. 4. The proposed development shall be compatible with surrounding land uses. As a temporary improvement, the station is generally compatible with the surrounding land uses. 5. The proposed development shall to the maximum extent feasible be consistent with and promote the goals, objectives, and policies of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and applicable adopted area plans. The temporary station is generally consistent with the goals and policies of the comprehensive plan, providing commuter rail service within walking distance of many activity areas within the Tukwila Urban Center. However, the temporary station represents only a minimal investment in public and civic amenities, and does not provide bold architectural form or distinctive character for Tukwila. The applicant needs to address parking capacity for bicycles, cars and vanshares at this station to avoid adverse impacts during the next five years until the permanent station is open and operational. Consequently, permit approval should be conditioned by the Council in order to ensure that off -street parking facilities at Tukwila Station are provided as demand warrants over the next five years and ensure adequate mitigation of off -site parking impacts, in the event that they occur. See Recommendations section below. Page 17 of 19 Staff Report to the Tukwila City Council L07 -065: Unclassified Use Permit for Sound Transit's Commuter Rail Station 6. The unclassified use shall, to the maximum extent feasible, mitigate all significant adverse environmental impacts on public health and private properties. Full consideration shall be given to: (a) alternative locations and/or routes that reduce or eliminate adverse impacts; and (b) alternative designs that reduce and/or eliminate adverse impacts. The temporary station is already in place. Alternative locations and designs that mitigate adverse environmental impacts will be considered during the design of the permanent station. 7. In the event that a proposed essential public facility of a countywide or statewide nature creates an unavoidable significant adverse environmental or economic impact on the community, compensatory mitigation shall be required. Compensatory mitigation shall include public amenities, incentives or other public benefits which offset otherwise unmitigated adverse impacts of the essential public facility. Where appropriate, compensatory mitigation shall be provided as close to the affected area as possible. Significant adverse environmental or economic impact on the community is not anticipated due to the continued operation of the temporary station. 8. For uses in residential areas, applicants shall demonstrate that there is no reasonable non - residential alternative site for their use. The temporary station is already in place. It is not feasible or necessary to identify alternative sites. 9. For uses in residential areas, applicants shall show that the use provides some tangible benefit for the neighborhood. As a temporary facility, the station is generally located and designed to be of benefit in providing transportation options to the community. RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends the City Council adopt the findings and conclusions of the staff report and approve the unclassified use permit for the temporary commuter rail station at 7301 South Longacres Way for the proposed time period from January 1, 2008 until December 31, 2012, and subject to these conditions. 1. For the next five years until the permanent station is open and operational: a. Sound Transit shall provide the DCD Director with parking utilization counts for the Tukwila Station parking lot on a bi- annual basis. The schedule and methods for these counts Page 18 of 19 77 Staff Report to the Tukwila City Council L07 -065: Unclassified Use Permit for Sound Transit's Commuter Rail Station shall be subject to approval by the DCD Director. If at any time during this period the number of parked vehicles is equal to or exceeds 95% of existing capacity, Sound Transit shall identify and implement, as soon as practically possible, and at its sole cost, effective mitigation measures. b. In the event that the City of Tukwila or Sound Transit receive complaints from property owners or tenants regarding spillover parking by station patrons in nearby parking areas, Sound Transit shall identify and implement, as soon as practically possible, and at its sole cost, effective mitigation measures. c. Any mitigation measure implemented pursuant to these conditions must be acceptable to the DCD Director, and may include those measures identified by Sound Transit through its comprehensive analysis of system wide parking strategies in the System Access and Parking Committee process anticipated to occur in 2008, including reducing parking demand through such methods as coordinating transit service improvements and vanshares; providing additional bicycle parking; increasing parking supply by using the adjacent vacant lot owned by Sound Transit as temporary parking; or obtaining temporary shared parking agreements for overflow parking with nearby property owners. 2. To accommodate the current wait list for bicycle parking, Sound Transit shall provide an additional ten bicycle storage units.

The temporary station exists as a result of agreements with the cities of Renton and Tukwila, dating from 2002, to postpone construction of the permanent station for up to 10 years in order to respond to the City of Renton's Strander Boulevard project and the City of Tukwila's Urban Center planning. The temporary station was permitted in 2000 and completed in 2002. The existing permit extension expires on December 31, 2007. Sound Transit requests that the City of Tukwila permit the temporary station through December, 2012 by which time construction the permanent station should be complete. Existing temporary commuter rail station: The platforms at Sounder's temporary Tukwila Commuter Rail Station are located within the Burlington Northem Santa Fe Railroad (BNSF) right -of -way south of Longacres Way, a private road. The park -and -ride lot, transit boarding facility, and bus stops are east of the platform on the Boeing Long acres site, within the City of Renton. The station consists primarily of two 600 foot long passenger platforms. There is one wheelchair accessible ramp at the north end of each platform. Benches, trash receptacles and canopy shelters are provided on each platform. Ticket vending machines and other passenger information are located at the northwest corner of the parking area. Pedestrian connection from the park and ride on the east side of the station to the southbound platform on west side of the track is made way of the Longacres Way underpass. Stairs and ramps connect the platform to the ground level 200 -space parking lot, bus transit area and pedestrian ways. Sounder provides service of three trains each way scheduled as follows: Northbound: 6:24 a.m.; 6:59; 7:20; and 7:42 Southbound: 4:36 p.m.; 5:01; 5:26; and 5:56 Additional trains are scheduled to begin this fall: RECEIVE . 9 11f d .GJe OEVELOPMgE:1T Central Puget Sound Regional Transit Authority • Union Station 8 0 401 S.

Coordination with the cities of Tukwila and Renton: Around the time Sound Transit was completing design of original station in 2000, the City of Tukwila requested that Sound Transit stop design to allow for coordination with the urban center planning that the City had begun. Sound Transit agreed and submitted a UUP for construction of the temporary station. A September 2002 King County Superior Court Settlement between Sound Transit and the City of Renton included the requirements to extend the use of the temporary station for up to 10 years (through 2012) to allow Renton to design and secure funding for the Strander Boulevard extension project. In the winter of 2004 Sound Transit requested an extension of the UUP through the winter of 2007 with the potential for yearly extensions through 2012. At that time, Sound Transit communicated that design and construction would take a number of years given the need to redesign the station and coordinate with the Strander Boulevard project. The City granted an extension through December of 2007, but required the Sound Transit re - apply for further permitting of the temporary station. The extension also required Sound Transit to construct two additional passenger shelters. The construction of both shelters has been completed. Tukwila completed the Urban Center planning and Renton completed 30% design of the Strander Boulevard extension in spring 2005. Renton's concept required the relocation of the Union Pacific railroad to be adjacent to the BNSF right -of- way, and anticipated that construction would start in early 2007 and continue through 2008. In April, 2005 Sound Transit, the City of Renton and the City of Tukwila agreed to a design approach based on the Strander Boulevard design and the Tukwila Urban Center plan. Sound Transit hired KPFF to complete a refined preliminary engineering report based on that design approach. The City of Tukwila and Renton participated on the Executive Steering Committee that helped define the design and direction for project phasing. The design costs more than is available in Sound Move however ST2, if passed, contains funding for full construction. KPFF completed their report in early 2007. Although Renton has not begun construction and still must clear a number of hurdles to implementing the Strander project, they have made significant progress. Sound Transit is now ready to proceed to the next phases of design 2 81 82 while the City of Renton continues their efforts resolve issues concerning the relocation of the Union Pacific railroad right -of -way. Schedule for design and construction of the permanent commuter rail station: Sound Transit is entering into contract for Preliminary Engineering and Environmental Documentation (PE /ED) that will advance the design of all elements through 30 %. Tukwila and Renton will again participate through the Executive Steering Committee in the decisions on phasing final design and construction package. The priority established during preliminary engineering was to complete construction of the permanent station platform. The phasing will reflect the additional budget if ST2 passes and the status of the Strander Boulevard extension project. Final design would take approximately 12 months. Following a 4 month bidding period, construction of the permanent station, or an initial phase, will range from 14 to 24 months. At this point, we expect that the earliest the permanent station would be open is some time in 2011 or 2012. In closing, we emphasize our sincere appreciation of the City of Tukwila's continued cooperation in this matter.

It would be nice to see some kind of improvements or measures done for the safety of the ramps and platforms in the rain and snowy /frosty season. They get quite slick and I feel very unsafe in the winter time when it is constantly drizzly and sometimes freezing out. Sometimes the staff there will put down ice melt, but sometimes it just melts the ice and makes it slicker to walk on. Also, it would be nice to have more covered areas for standing and waiting, rather than just in the open air. Just my thoughts!

Hello, If you are a commuter rail rider using the Tukwila Rail Station, we're looking for your comments: Page 1 of 2- here are my comments /observations: 1) priority reserved parking is given to commuter vans, leaving inadequate parking for the rest of us. at times, we are unable to park within the designated lot and have to park outside or in the 'boeing property area. suggestion: increased parking for general use or maybe reserved parking for city cars? (selfish, eh ?) 2) there are 2 small shelters on each side of the tracks, but only one shelter on the southbound side has a bench. there are no other benches along the stretch of platform, just a chain -link fence to lean on. i often carry quite a bit of things with me and have often wished for a bench to sit on while waiting for a train, especially in the afternoons after working all day. suggestion: benches situated along the entire length of the platform. 3) smokers congregate along the entry way to the platform...at times the security guard is there smoking with them. train riders have to walk through the cloud to access the platform. suggestion: a designated smoking area away from the platform entrance...and enforced! 4) when the temperature falls, the platform is very slippery. they try to alleviate the problem by spreading chemicals on the walkway, but the ice or frost doesn't melt quick enough and it is still hazardous when we arrive on the morning trains. the conductors caution us as we leave the train, but we still see people slipping and falling. suggestion: install non -skid surface or put chemicals on earlier. 5) the station looks dirty, especially with the aged and weather -worn (cheesy) "artwork" or attempt at decoration. suggestion: cleanup cheesy artwork and add color! 6) all other stations have reader boards and announcements that say when the next train will arrive. at the tukwila station, we have no clue if the train will be on time or will arrive late. suggestion: install electronic reader board where both north- and south-bound riders can see it or, alternatively, have the security guard be more proactive in keeping riders informed of delays. 7) during the rainy /windy weather, because the platform is in the open and so high and unprotected, the winds blows through often strong enough to tum umbrellas inside out. the 2 small shelters are inadequate to offer a windbreak for all the people waiting, especally along the length of the train platform. suggestion: not sure of a short-term solution, but maybe could have a more protected waiting area on lower ground, close enough to get quickly up the ramp to the train when it arrives. or maybe install windbreak panels along the platform that would still allow visibility for security purposes?

Page 1 of 1 There are 2 things I would like to mention #1- Sound Transit has given priority parking to the Van Share's at the station giving them their own spots. This is a little ridiculous and makes everyone else have to park up and down the roads and walk for a couple blocks just to get to the train. WE NEED MORE PARKING. Hopefully on the Tukwila side of the tracks. #2- The platform is DANGEROUS during the winter. The platform is extremely icy and the wind whips through the station like a wind tunnel during the winter keeping it icy. It would be nice to have some more shelter and maybe some extra seating. »> On 09/12/2007 at 5:39 pm, in message < 46E823DF .024C.00DB.O @ci.tukwila.wa.us>, Lynn Miranda wrote: Hello, If you are a commuter rail rider using the Tukwila Rail Station, we're looking for your comments: Sound Transit is applying for an unclassified use permit to allow continuing operation of the temporary station until a new station is constructed (they're requesting permit valid until 2012).

Per our discussions, Sound Transit agrees to do the following to enhance the patron experience of the temporary station. All items will be constructed within the 2008. Slip- Resistant Surfaces: Install improved slip- resistant surfaces on "ramps" and stairs. (This is the first priority for action this year.) Artwork: Replace the existing artwork in coordination with the City Arts Council. (This can start as soon as Sound Transit and City of Tukwila staff define the artist selection and review process.) Signage: A station sign will be installed in a manner not requiring the sign posts to be installed in buckets of concrete. An additional sign, location to be determined, will inform the public as to the temporary nature of the station, provide the station address, provide an update on the status of the permanent station, invite them to participate in the design process, and provide contact information for emergencies or to be involved in the design of the permanent station. Benches: Add two benches in southern, west side shelter. Guard Shelter: Upgrade or replace the guard shelter to provide view out of all sides. Handrails: Install handrail on one side of each "ramp." Emergency Call Box: Install new call box in a location determined by Sound Transit security. Parking: Sound Transit's priority for accommodating access to stations is: 1. Pedestrian 2. Sounder commuter rail, Express bus, local transit, including paratransit services; 3. Accessible parking 4. Bicycle/Passenger drop -off • 5. CarShare/VanShare and Carpool/Vanpool 6.

Joni Earl Consequently, Sound Transit is first exploring altematives to providing new spaces for single occupant vehicle. The Transportation Facilities Division has established System Access & Parking Committee to address parking issues along the Sounder corridor. Tukwila is one of the priorities. To date, the committee has identified the following opportunities to improve access to Sounder at the Tukwila station. • Sound Transit and KCMetro will work to build on the existing 75 Vanshares at the station carrying a registered ridership of 513 patrons. (This partnership already saves hundreds of spaces.) • We will also strive for more efficient use of Vanshare through higher occupancy and scheduling, and consolidating Vanshares to larger pars- transit vehicles. • Sound Transit could explore with Tukwila Public Works the potential for temporary use pervious surfaces on our vacant site if accommodating single occupant vehicle overflow parking is an option identified by the System Access and Parking Committee group. Sound Transit will provide the City of Tukwila an update on the outcome of the System Access & Parking Committee actions. Meet with King County Metro: Sound Transit will expand our ongoing coordination with Metro transit planners to include a meeting with Tukwila Public Works and Department of Community Development staff to discuss short -term and long -term coordination of transit to and from the temporary commuter rail station. Any change to Metro service requires King County approval. City Council Updates: Provide the updates twice a year. The updates will be scheduled to coincide with Preliminary Engineering project milestone, and will include a summary of maintenance that has occurred at the station and updates on ridership and 'service changes. Sound Transit strives to provide a high quality experience for its patrons at this temporary facility. I hope this adequately summarizes the meetings and correspondence to date. David Goldberg (206) 398 -5295 will be available to address any outstanding concerns of the City of Tukwila while I am out of town next week. Additionally, we remain open to you ideas on how we can jointly strive to provide a high quality experience for Sounder patrons at this temporary facility.

A UUP application is a Type 5, quasi-judicial decision made by the City Council following an open record public hearing. Background Sound Transit's current UUP for the temporary Tukwila Commuter Rail Station expires the end of 2007. Sound Transit has requested a new UUP for the continued operation of the temporary station until December 31, 2012, when the permanent commuter rail station is anticipated to be operating. The public hearing has been scheduled for December 3, 2007. The staff report for a quasi-judicial proceeding must to be given to the City Council at least one week prior to the meeting where the project will be discussed (Resolution No. 1335). Discussion The City of Tukwila originally approved a UUP for the temporary station in 2000. Sound Transit requested a renewal of the UUP in 2004 to allow more time to coordinate the station design with the Strander Boulevard extension project. The City approved the renewal with conditions, valid until December 31, 2007, with the anticipation that the permanent station would be in place at that time. To date, the permanent station has not been completed, although progress is being made. Since a UUP may only be renewed once (TMC 18.66.070), Sound Transit is requesting a new UUP at this time. Sound Transit is not proposing any significant changes to the station platform or parking lot as part of this UUP request. Please note that construction of the permanent station will require a new UUP application by Sound Transit, which will come before Council at a later date. Staff Recommendations Approve the UUP with proposed conditions, valid from January 1, 2008 until December 31 2012.

These responses included concerns regarding safety and security at the site, protection from wind and rain, slippery surfaces in winter, auto and vanshare parking space availability, and unattractiveness of the facility, signage and artwork. An informational public meeting was held on September 19, 2007. No members of the public attended. BACKGROUND • • Sound Transit originally applied in 1999 for an unclassified use permit for a permanent commuter rail station. However, because Sound Transit and the City of Tukwila realized that a number of land use and transportation projects being initiated in proximity to the station (e.g., the urban center plan and Strander Blvd extension project) could have significant impact on the location and design of the station, Sound Transit agreed to temporarily postpone the design and construction of a permanent station to respond to these planning efforts. (As a point of clarification, Sound Transit maintains that the City of Tukwila agreed to up to a 10 -year postponement, but this is incorrect. In a 2005 Settlement Agreement between the City of Renton and Sound Transit, both parties agreed to postpone the permanent station construction for up to 10 years, but the City of Tukwila was not a party to that agreement.) Consequently, in November 2000, the City Council approved an unclassified use permit for a temporary station, valid until February 2004. In 2004, the issues regarding the Strander extension project (including the Union Pacific railroad relocation and the precise location of Strander Blvd.), the final location of the commuter rail station, and other design considerations were still unsettled. Sound Transit requested a renewal of the UUP to allow more time to coordinate station design with the Strander project. The City approved the renewal, valid for three additional years until December 31, 2007, with conditions requiring the construction of two additional temporary shelters. These shelters have since been constructed. Since a UUP may only be renewed once (TMC 18.66.070), Sound Transit is requesting a new UUP at this time. Since the renewal of the UUP in 2004, the following activities have taken place: • In 2005, Renton completed 30% design of the Strander Boulevard extension. Relocation of the Union Pacific railroad right -of -way is anticipated to be completed by 2009. • In 2007, Tukwila staff and consultants initiated a type, size and location (TS &L) study to refine the location of the key pedestrian corridor connecting the Mall to the station. • In March, 2006, Sound Transit and the Cities of Tukwila and Renton prepared a master plan for the Tukwila Station, incorporating the location of the Strander Blvd extension and Tukwila's draft Urban Center concepts. Initial estimates showed that the construction costs for full build -out of the station master plan will exceed the remaining Sound Move funding Page 2 of 19 • • Staff Report to the Tukwila City Council L07 -065: Unclassified Use Permit for Sound Transit's Commuter Rail Station • for the station. Consequently, Sound Transit's first priority will be to construct Phase I of the project, including the permanent platforms and a limited number of critical station elements. • In September 2007, Sound Transit initiated preliminary engineering and environmental documentation (PE/ED) that will advance the design for the full build -out of the permanent station through 30 %. Completion of this phase is anticipated in August, 2008. FINDINGS VICINITY /SITE AND OPERATIONS INFORMATION Temporary Station Description The platforms of the temporary commuter rail station are located within the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) right -of -way just south of Longacres Way in the City of Tukwila (see Attachments B &C). The supporting park and ride lot, passenger load zone and bus stops are located east of the platforms on the Boeing Longacres site, which is in the City of Renton. There are two passenger platforms 600 feet in length adjacent to the existing BNSF railway tracks, with one wheelchair - accessible ramp at the northern end of each platform. The platforms are constructed adjacent to the existing embankment, which is approximately 15 feet above ground level in this location. The platforms are 10 feet wide (Sound Transit's design guidelines call for 16' wide side platforms) and have a chain link fence as a railing along the back edge and sides of the platforms. Access to the platforms is via stairs and wood framed ramps. Pedestrian connections from the parking lot to the southbound platform on the west side of the tracks are made by way of the S. Longacres Way underpass. Each of the platforms has two canopy shelters. The two northbound shelters and one southbound shelter contain seating. The station platforms and parking area are well lit. A total of 250 parking stalls are provided on leased Boeing property in the City of Renton. The parking area is fenced off from the remaining Boeing property. The gate on the east side of the BNSF tracks and north of the parking lot is open for two hours in the morning and two hours in the evening, allowing Metro bus traffic to circulate between the City of Renton and Tukwila to pick up /drop off passengers. Also on site are a security guard station, a shelter housing ticket machines, ten bicycle storage lockers, and a bicycle rack. Operations Sounder Sounder service currently consists of six trains northbound and one train southbound in the morning, and one train northbound and six trains southbound in the evening. Additional Page 3 of 19 • • Staff Report to the Tukwila City Council L07 -065: Unclassified Use Permit for Sound Transit's Commuter Rail Station roundtrip service would most likely be available within the next five years. Sound Transit's 2030 ridership scenarios anticipate 18 trains daily, or nine roundtrips per weekday. Amtrak Amtrak also utilizes the temporary station platforms for the Cascade service between Eugene, Oregon and Vancouver, B.C. Eight trains stop daily, four northbound and four southbound. 2005 ridership figures indicate that 14,000 on and off trips occurred at Tukwila Station. Amtrak's long term ridership projections (13 roundtrips /day) anticipate 140,000 trips per year. WSDOT's Rail Planning and Policy Coordinator indicated that ridership forecasts are based on current ridership. Amtrak has not promoted the station because of its temporary facilities and limited parking. With the construction of a permanent station with high quality facilities and safe, secure waiting and parking areas, greater increases in ridership could be expected. Metro Metro currently has four different bus routes (#110, 140, 126, and 154) serving the Tukwila Station during weekday peak hours when the Sounder trains are operating. There is no transit service at the station during mid -day hours or on weekends. SOUND TRANSIT'S REQUEST FOR AN UNCLASSIFIED USE PERMIT Sound Transit is requesting an Unclassified Use Permit for the continued operation of the existing Sounder commuter rail station for an additional five years, until 2012. Sound Transit is not proposing any new structures or significant improvements at the site. Therefore, design review is not required. The original UUP for the temporary station was approved by Council in 2000 and renewed in 2004, with the anticipation that the permanent station would be in place by December 31, 2007. To date, Sound Transit's work on the design and construction of the permanent station has not been completed. Sound Transit's letter requesting the UUP is attached to this staff report (See Attachment A). Sound Transit has proposed the following schedule for the design and construction of the permanent commuter rail station: • Preliminary Engineering and Environmental Documentation phase began in September 2007. • Completion of 30% design and the NEPA analysis is anticipated in August, 2008. • Final design will take approximately 12 months (August, 2009) • Following a four month bidding period, construction of Phase I of the permanent station (or full build -out if future funding becomes available) will take 14 to 24 months. • Phase I of the permanent station would be open and operational by 2011 or 2012. Page 4 of 19 • • Staff Report to the Tukwila City Council L07 -065: Unclassified Use Permit for Sound Transit's Commuter Rail Station CRITERIA FOR UNCLASSIFIED USES (TMC 18.66.060) City Council approval of an unclassified use permit is guided by the nine criteria of the Zoning Code (18.66.060) and a determination that the project is consistent with the Tukwila plans and regulations (18.100.030 TMC). The applicant's response to each of the criteria is contained verbatim below, and is followed by a staff response if additional information is required or available. The City Council may approve the project as proposed, establish conditions on the project approval, or deny the project. 1. Where appropriate and feasible, all facilities shall be underground. Applicant's response: "Sound Move, the regional transportation plan, shows the use of existing heavy rail tracks, which are above ground, for commuter rail services. The existing use, and one for which this permit is request, is a temporary commuter rail station located adjacent to existing Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railroad lines. The temporary station was constructed under permit following the City granting an Unclassified Use Permit to Sound Transit. It is not desirable or feasible to grade the lines to create a temporary underground commuter rail station." Staff Response: City regulations require undergrounding of all new electrical and communication facilities. Sound Transit is not proposing any changes to the heavy rail tracks that are currently being used by the Sounder trains. The applicant is not proposing any changes to the lighting on -site or on the platforms. Power to the lighting is currently provided from power lines strung overhead. 2. The proposed use will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity. Applicant's response: "The access to the adjoining vacant lots is secured by chain link fences thus reducing any potential security issues. Special provisions are also in place so that aid and fire equipment can transverse the gate on Boeing property at any time. Also Sound Transit has security guards at the station for 16 hours (5:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.) each day the train operates. These provisions were put in place at the time the temporary station was constructed In response to user feedback, Sound Transit installed two additional shelters and additional maintenance to ensure weather protection and safe footing. Sound Transit commissioned a longevity study in 2003 and a maintenance plan, to identify the required interventions and maintenance to enable the station to last another 10 years until replaced by the permanent station. Sound Transit Facilities Maintenance Division has followed the reports recommendations and will continue monitoring to ensure proper functioning. The environmental impacts of the station were addressed in Sound Transit Tacoma -to- Seattle Rail Environmental Assessment (Federal Transit Administration and Sound Page 5of19 • • Staff Report to the Tukwila City Council L07 -065: Unclassified Use Permit for Sound Transit's Commuter Rail Station Transit, June 1998). The analysis and conclusions included in the Environmental Assessment are summarized below. Socioeconomic. The commuter rail station would operate on existing tracks. No existing uses would be displaced by the proposal. The proposed action would not involve significant adverse impacts on the populations protected by Executive order 12898, Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low - Income Populations. Based on the socioeconomic analysis, the proposed commuter rail station has the potential to provide mobility benefits to transit - dependent populations, while reducing household costs. Transportation. Traffic increases associated with commuter rail travel to the station would be limited to morning and evening commute hours. West Valley Highway, located west of the proposed station site, is a principal north -south arterial connecting directly to 1-405. Vehicles would enter the station primarily via Longacres Way. Operation of the station would not cause levels of service to change from projected future baseline conditions; intersection -by- intersection analysis results are summarized below and discussed in more detail in the Environmental Assessment (EA). The intersections of Longacres Way /West Valley Highway, Stander Boulevard/West Valley Highway and Lind Ave /SW 16th Street are expected to operate at acceptable LOS D or better during the 1997, 1010 baseline and 2010 proposed action p.m. peak hour traffic conditions. The intersection of Fort Dent Road/West Valley Highway is operating at LOS E under existing conditions and would continue to operate at this level under the proposed action. The intersection of Grady Way/West Valley Highway and South 180th Street /West Valley Highway are operation at LOS F under existing conditions and would continue to operate at this level under the proposed action. The intersection of Lind Avenue /Grady Way is operating at LOS D under existing conditions, and is expected to fall to LOS E both under 2010 future baseline and proposed action. The intersections of Oaksdale Avenue /SW 16th Street and Oaksdale Avenue /Grady Way currently operated at LOS B and C respectively. The 2010 baseline and proposed action levels of service are projected to fall to LOS E for the Oaksdale /SW 16th Street intersection and LOS F for the Oaksdale /Grady intersection. Noise. The proposed commuter rail station in not expected to cause noise or vibration annoyance. Potential sources of noise and ground -borne would include idling locomotives, feeder bus traffic and increased automobile traffic on adjacent roadways. Measures will be taken to control vibration along the commuter route, which will operate at first between Tacoma and Seattle; these include rail grinding, wheel truing, wheel flat detectors systems, and vehicle reconditioning programs. Hazardous Materials. No contaminated sites included on the Washington State LUSTT, UST and CSCS lists, or in the federal EPA database occur on the proposed site, and the operation of the station will not increase the risk of contamination. Page 6 of 19 • • Staff Report to the Tukwila City Council L07 -065: Unclassified Use Permit for Sound Transit's Commuter Rail Station Biological Resources. The proposed station has been cleared and graded in the fairly recent past, and is currently vacant. No significant biological resources will be affected by the construction or operation of the station. Historical, Park and Recreational Resources. No properties listed under or eligible for listing under the National Register of Historic Properties and the Washington Heritage register are located on or in the vicinity of the proposed station. No parks or recreation facilities would be directly displaced by the proposed use and no significant impacts to park and recreation resources located in the vicinity of the station site are anticipated. Cultural Resources. No potentially significant cultural resources were identified during field reconnaissance and no archaeological sites are recorded in the project area. If archaeological material is encountered during the proposed project construction, work should be halted and the Office of Archaeological and Historic Preservation are to be consulted to determine the appropriate follow -up. Visual Quality. The station platforms would add some visual diversity but would have little effect on the visual resources of the area. The station is expected to improve the appearance of the site by replacing unkempt open space. Safety and Security. The proposed station has been designed to promote safety and security. Potential commuter rail safety and security issues include safe operational interface between all transportation modes as, well as passenger safety and security aboard buses and trains, at transit stations, and in adjacent areas. Pedestrians would use the existing undercrossing, thus avoiding the need too cross tracks at grade. Passenger security both off and on the train has been incorporated into the proposed project. The design allows for ease of surveillance for police and patrol cars. The shelters will be well lighted, well maintained, and patrolled by local police and transit security force. Air Quality. The air quality impacts of the proposed use were evaluated as part of the planning process, in close cooperation with the Puget Sound Air Pollution Control Agency (PSAPCA). The evaluation of air quality impacts indicate that corridor level emissions of carbon monoxide and particulate matter would be reduced under the proposed action relative to the 2010 baseline condition. Emissions of hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen would be slightly higher, due to the addition of commuter rail locomotives. Water Quality. The nominal impacts to water quality at the proposed site are primarily related to associated erosion and contaminate transport during construction. Earth. The proposed project will involve minimal earthwork (i.e. grading) for construction. Re- establishment of vegetation in non paved cleared areas, as soon as Page 7 of 19 Staff Report to the Tukwila City Council L07 -065: Unclassified Use Permit for Sound Transit's Commuter Rail Station possible and application of appropriate ground cover would be used to minimize the potential of erosion hazards during operation." Staff Response: • • Environmental Assessment The NEPA Environmental Assessment (EA) prepared in 1998 analyzed transportation, noise and air quality impacts using a 2010 planning horizon, however Sound Transit is proposing operating the temporary station until 2012. As part of the preliminary design and engineering for the permanent station, Sound Transit will be updating the NEPA EA, including assessing transportation impacts. Safety and Security Parking Lot. Security guards are on -site from 5:30 a.m to 9:00 p.m. weekdays, and on weekends when Sound Transit operates special event trains. Guards are to be present on the platforms when trains arrive and depart, and tour the site at least once an hour. Security guards also observe the vacant Sound Transit property located west of the platforms, between the UP and BNSF tracks, and report any illegal activities. Personal and vehicular safety are a greater concern when the security guard is off -duty. This station is considered a destination rather than an origin for riders, with the parking lot the fullest (at 2/3 capacity) in the evenings and weekends as people return to the station, board the trains, and leave their vehicles there overnight. Responses from the public included reports of vandalism and theft of parked cars on the lot during evenings and on weekends when the security guard is not on duty. The absence of security and the fact that this station is one of the most isolated along the Sounder corridor make it more vulnerable for crimes and vandalism. The City of Renton Police Department is responsible for responding to emergency calls at the site. (However, no crime statistics are available through Renton's Police Department because up until recently, City of Renton did not have an address assigned to the parking lot.) Sound Transit has indicated that their signage clearly states, "Not responsible for loss from theft, property damage or personal injury." There are no emergency call -boxes on site for passengers to use after hours or on the weekends. There are also no pay - phones on site for passengers' use, which can make transfers to the airport or other locations more difficult. For example, WSDOT's Rail Planning and Policy Coordinator has indicated that Amtrak conductors routinely call ahead to arrange taxi service for passengers disembarking at the Tukwila Station, since no phones are available at the station. As part of their request for a UUP, Sound Transit has agreed to install an emergency call -box at the station which will be hard -wired into their proprietary fiber optic system. Sound Transit has indicated that a pay -phone will be installed as part of the permanent station. The Tukwila Police Department, in their review of the application, noted that security cameras on -site do not cover ticket vending machines. Sound Transit has indicated that the camera placement and coverage, combined with the on -site security guard, are sufficient. Closed TV Page 8 of 19 • • Staff Report to the Tukwila City Council L07 -065: Unclassified Use Permit for Sound Transit's Commuter Rail Station monitors record site activities 24 hours each day. Also, security guards do not have visibility in all directions from inside the guard shelter. As part of their request for a UUP, Sound Transit has agreed to add windows to the shelter or replace it with one that has windows on all sides to improve visibility. Platforms and Ramps. Ramps, walks and platforms have been reported as dangerous in winter due to the slickness of the surface, even with the current practice of applying de -icing chemicals by the security guards. In addition, there are no handrails on the access ramps for use in slippery conditions and by the physically disabled. As part of their request for a UUP, Sound Transit has agreed to install "slip- resistant surfaces" on ramps and stairs. Visual Quality Public comments on the station's visual quality and image for Tukwila included concerns regarding the negative contribution of the weathered art work and station signage anchored in buckets of cement. According to Sound Transit's Longevity Study for the Tukwila Station (2003), the Tukwila Station sign at the parking lot entrance was to be replaced within one year. As part of their request for a UUP, Sound Transit has indicated they will be upgrading the existing station identification sign and adding informational signage describing the temporary nature of the station, the status of the permanent station, the parking lot address, emergency contact information, and opportunities for public involvement in the station design process. As part of their UUP request, Sound Transit has agreed to replace the existing artwork. Transportation This station is primarily a destination for passengers who are employed, shopping or visiting in the surrounding area. Primary access to the station is from Longacres Way, which becomes a private two -lane access easement at the east margin of the Puget Sound Energy's right -of -way to Tukwila's city limits with Renton. Riders can also access the station from the Boeing Longacres Campus site via private walking paths. Metro bus service at the station is limited, with connecting bus service limited to peak hours. Currently, there is no weekend or mid -day bus service to Tukwila Station even though Amtrak trains stop there during those times. Better transit connections between Tukwila Station and other activity areas (such as the 154 Street light rail station, Tukwila International Blvd, other employment areas within Tukwila) should be explored. Metro buses access the station via SW 16 Street through Boeing property. Boeing limits bus access to hours of Sounder operation via a gate at the north end of the parking lot. 3. The proposed use shall meet or exceed the same standards for parking, landscaping, yards and other development regulations that are required in the district it will occupy. Applicant's response: "The only facilities located in Tukwila are wholly within the BNSF right -of -way. The existing 200 plus space parking lot in Renton has reached capacity. Parking counts performed by security indicate that occupancy climbs from approximately 170 during the AM boardings to approximately 205 by 4 PM. Tukwila has approximately Page 9 of 19 • • Staff Report to the Tukwila City Council L07 -065: Unclassified Use Permit for Sound Transit's Commuter Rail Station 2.4 more passengers getting off in the morning than getting on and similar opposite ratio in the evening; indicating that the station is a destination rather than origin of riders. The lot is approximately 2 /3rd full when the security guard leaves at 9PM. The afternoon increase in parking appears be associated with people returning to the station and leaving their cars (and RideShare vans). The combination of riders getting on and off at the same time creates a difficult parking management issue. The master plan calls for 350 stalls. As lots become full along the Sounder line, Sound Transit is evaluating a number of options including adding additional parking, better coordinating with feeder bus routes and parking management. Adequate access and lighting of the access were the minimum standards required at the time of approval. Also, improvements on Longacres Way in the form of drop -off areas were constructed." Staff Response: The majority of station elements, including parking, are located in the City of Renton. Only the temporary station platforms are located in the City of Tukwila, within the TUC district. Landscaping, which is typically required of any new development within the TUC district, takes approximately three years to become established. The applicant did not develop a landscape plan as part of the original proposal, since the application was for a "temporary improvement." There are no landscape plans proposed as part of this application. City regulations require undergrounding of all new electrical and communication facilities (13.08.060 TMC).The applicant is not proposing any changes to the lighting. Power to the lighting is provided from power lines strung overhead. Parking, as discussed in the applicant's response, is at capacity. There are no City standards for required number of parking spaces for automobiles at rail stations. Parking issues at the site are different from other lots along the corridor, according to Sound Transit. Sound Transit has indicated that there are 75 vanshares currently registered at the site, carrying a ridership of 513. Sound Transit's Transportation Service Division identified parking issues throughout the Sounder Commuter line in a 2006 study, and has established a System Access and Parking Committee to address parking issues along the rail corridor. Tukwila Station is one of the committee's priorities and will be addressed separately from other stations, given the different parking use pattern. Sound Transit's priority for accommodating access to stations is: 1. Pedestrian 2. Sounder commuter rail, Express bus, local transit, including paratransit services; 3. Accessible parking 4. Bicycle/Passenger drop -off 5. CarShare/VanShare and Carpool/Vanpool 6. Motorcycle /Scooter & Private Shuttle /Taxi 7. Passenger vehicles (park -and -ride) Page l0 of 19 • • Staff Report to the Tukwila City Council L07 -065: Unclassified Use Permit for Sound Transit's Commuter Rail Station Consequently, Sound Transit first priority in addressing parking shortages is to explore alternatives to providing more parking for single - occupancy passenger vehicles. According to Sound Transit, initial actions by the Parking Committee may include: • Striving for more efficient use of vanshare through higher occupancy and scheduling; • Consolidating vanshares to larger para- transit vehicles; and • More marketing of vanpools. Sound Transit has indicated they would endorse City efforts to establish parking restrictions and other appropriate parking management strategies in the surrounding areas. However, this type of spillover parking does not appear to be an issue at this time. There are currently ten bicycle storage lockers and a bicycle rack on site. The storage lockers are fully in use and Sound Transit has indicated that there are ten people currently on the wait list. There is generally space available on the bicycle rack. There are no City of Tukwila standards for required number of parking spaces for bicycles at rail stations. Sound Transit has indicated that "additional bicycle lockers would likely require the removal of existing parking stalls and does not feel the additional lockers are required." 4. The proposed development shall be compatible with surrounding land uses. Applicant's response: "The site is within Tukwila's Urban Center; however there are no existing uses within the immediate vicinity. The area to the north, east and south is undeveloped portions of the Boeing Longacres facility. The site to the northwest is proposed for multifamily development but permits have lapsed. Sound transit owns to parcels to the west of the station that will be developed as the permanent station location. The Master Plan for the permanent commuter rail station was developed considering surrounding infrastructure improvements and development potential. The designers will continue to consider the potential for surrounding development during the next phases of design." Staff response: This station is primarily a destination for passengers who are employed, shopping or visiting in the surrounding area. The station is generally compatible with existing land uses in the vicinity, as listed below: • Immediately west of the existing platforms between the UP and BNSF right of ways, is vacant land owned by Sound Transit. This is the site of the future permanent Tukwila Station. • Boeing Commercial Airplane Headquarters buildings are located immediately to the east of the station on their Longacres Campus. • West of the Union Pacific railroad tracks are vacant lands, light industrial and the Interurban regional recreational trail are located west of the Union Pacific railroad tracks. Commercial services are located along West Valley Highway. A warehouse site on Nelson Place, within walking distance of the station, was converted to a catering business. • Within 1/2 mile radius of the station are six hotels with hundreds of rooms. • Within 3 /4 mile is the Tukwila urban center, a regional retail and employment center. Page 11 of 19 • • Staff Report to the Tukwila City Council L07 -065: Unclassified Use Permit for Sound Transit's Commuter Rail Station Future land uses in the vicinity that will be supportive of transit ridership are listed below: • The City approved the Conditional Use and Design Review applications for a mixed use project (Tukwila Station: 291 units and 5000 sq. ft. of retail) on property directly north of the Sound Transit property in 2005. To date, development has not been initiated. Their grading permit for the site has expired, but recently they have requested information about obtaining a building permit for the project. • Boeing's master plan for the 300 acre Longacres Campus area calls for up to 2.6 million square feet of office space with a possible 10,000 employees. • The Federal Reserve Bank building is being constructed on a former Boeing site in the Longacres Office Park in the City of Renton, southeast of the project site. The 95,000 square foot building is expected to house 100 employees. • New retail, dining and entertainment uses are being developed in the urban center, including the 700,000 square foot expansion of the Westfield Mall, and Acme Bowling and associated retail, restaurants, and fitness center. • As part of the Strander Blvd extension project the City of Renton is relocating the Union Pacific Railroad lines eastward, adjacent to the BNSF right -of -way, between I -405 and just south of Strander Blvd. Renton anticipates relocation by 2009. 5. The proposed development shall to the maximum extent feasible be consistent with and promote the goals, objectives, and policies of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and applicable adopted area plans. Applicant's response: "The Comprehensive Plan describes the City's intent to support a high - density, regionally oriented, mixed use center in Tukwila. The Comprehensive Plan generally supports commuter rail in the Urban Center to "help ensure Tukwila's long- term economic viability and competitiveness in the region." The Plan's Urban Center Goal 10.3 Transportation and Circulation, expresses the City's intent to "work with transit providers to develop and fund regional park- and -ride and rail locations where traffic and visual impacts on the Tukwila Urban center are minimized through site design and management." (Goal 10.3.1) Similarly, Goal 10.3.3 Transit service and Facilities support promoting "the development and enhancement of transit service and facilities." The proposed commuter rail station is consistent with these goals. While the location of the existing rail lines fix the station location at the east edge of the Urban Center, its presence will help the urban center maintain a regional orientation and provide transportation infrastructure for continued growth. Its visual impacts are minimal, and traffic impacts result in no changes to the forecast baseline conditions." Staff response: The station is also generally consistent with and supports the following Comprehensive Plan goals and policies: 13.4.6 Continue to support, participate in, and encourage the development and implementation of regional /rapid rail with service to the Tukwila Urban Center, and other emerging efficient - capacity technologies that will serve people traveling to, from, and within Tukwila. Page 12 of 19 • • Staff Report to the Tukwila City Council L07 -065: Unclassified Use Permit for Sound Transit's Commuter Rail Station 13.4.10 Encourage and support public transportation service including... the continued development of commuter and light rail particularly with service to the Tukwila Urban Center, and continue to support Commute Trip Reduction service. 13.4.12 The development of any light rail or commuter rail system shall meet the following objectives. - Such systems shall be located in a manner that serves the Tukwila Urban Center and the Tukwila Multi -modal Center, so as to encourage the development of these Centers in the manner contemplated by this Plan and the Countywide Planning Policies. The temporary station is within walking distance of the northern portion of the Tukwila Urban Center. Metro buses accessing the station also stop at the future Tukwila Transit Center (on Andover Park West). Goal 1.9 An economically strong Tukwila Urban Center, with a distinct image and character, of bold architectural form that provides for an intensive mixture of uses along with access to transit, public amenities, and civic facilities. 10.1.2 Public /private investment shall facilitate and encourage overall growth in the Tukwila Urban Center. The current temporary station is comprised of wood frame and coated plywood structures with chain link fences and railings. The canopies are acrylic lap siding and fiberglass roofs. Sound Transit has indicated they will replace the existing artwork on the platforms as part of their UUP request. 13.4.14 Require that parking facilities developed in conjunction with transit facilities be adequately sized and managed to prevent spillover parking onto private property, public property, or public streets. As discussed in previous criteria, parking capacity has been reached and vanshare vehicles in particular appear to have difficulty finding an available parking space. Spillover parking does not appear to be a concern at this time. The parking lot is located within the City of Renton, and must conform to their standards. See also staff's response to criteria #3. Page 13 of 19 • • Staff Report to the Tukwila City Council L07 -065: Unclassified Use Permit for Sound Transit's Commuter Rail Station 6. The unclassified use shall, to the maximum extent feasible, mitigate all significant adverse environmental impacts on public health and private properties. Full consideration shall be given to: (a) alternative locations and /or routes that reduce or eliminate adverse impacts; and (b) alternative designs that reduce and /or eliminate adverse impacts. Applicant's response: "There are minimal alternatives for locating a commuter rail station within the City of Tukwila to serve the City's Urban Center, the preferred location for transit service to the City. Longacres Way, although private, is the only safe access to the BNSF rail line south of I -405 and north of S. 180th St because of the existence of the UPRR underpass. The City of Renton plans to extend Strander Blvd across the BNSF and UPRR tracks; however funding for the improvements has yet to be secured. The station is designed to be temporary until a permanent station is designed and constructed. The permanent station will respond to the City of Tukwila's Urban Center Plan and the City of Renton's Strander Boulevard extension project. Sound Transit provided additional passenger shelters in response to previous UUP permit reviews. No additional improvements are proposed at this time, thus there are no alternative locations or designs that could reduce significant adverse impacts." Staff response: Sound Transit is not proposing any significant changes to the temporary station's location and configuration at this time. As stated in staff responses to previous criteria, as part of their UUP request Sound Transit has agreed to a number of minor improvements to the station, including new signage, additional benches in the southern shelter on the western track, new platform artwork (that may also provide wind and rain shelter), and a guard shelter with better visibility of the site. 7. In the event that a proposed essential public facility of a countywide or statewide nature creates an unavoidable significant adverse environmental or economic impact on the community, compensatory mitigation shall be required. Compensatory mitigation shall include public amenities, incentives or other public benefits which offset otherwise unmitigated adverse impacts of the essential public facility. Where appropriate, compensatory mitigation shall be provided as close to the affected area as possible. Applicant's response: "No additional adverse environmental or economic impacts on the community are anticipated as a result of continued operation of the temporary commuter rail station." Staff response: No additional information. Page 14 of 19 Staff Report to the Tukwila City Council L07 -065: Unclassified Use Permit for Sound Transit's Commuter Rail Station 8. For uses in residential areas, applicants shall demonstrate that there is no reasonable non - residential alternative site for their use. Applicant's response: "See the response to question 6 above. The site did not initially allow residential uses, however during the City of Tukwila's Urban Center planning process the City decided to allow residential uses adjacent to the commuter rail station." Staff response: After the temporary station was constructed, the City amended the TMC to allow transit - oriented development housing located on property adjacent to and not greater than 1/4 mile from the Sounder Commuter Rail /Amtrak Station as a conditional use (TMC 18.28.40). The temporary station location is fixed at its current location. 9. For uses in residential areas, applicants shall show that the use provides some tangible benefit for the neighborhood. Applicant's response: "The site will provide convenient commuter rail access to nearby residents and workers." Staff response: Sounder commuter rail and Amtrak service will provide viable alternative modes of travel to the single- occupancy vehicle for residents in the area. CONCLUSIONS • • The application is for the continued operation of the temporary commuter rail /Amtrak station for five years, until a permanent station can be constructed and operational. Sound Transit's proposed timeline for design and construction anticipates the expected opening of Phase I of the permanent station in 2011 or 2012. When the UUP for the temporary station was initially approved in 2000, it was intended to be in place only until 2004. As such, it was intended to be a functional rather than well designed facility. In 2012, the temporary station will have been in place a total of 10 years. Based on feedback staff has received from the users of the station, there are significant issues that need to be addressed if it is to be functional for another five years. However, the challenge with extending the use of this facility is in minimizing short term expenses in order to maintain sufficient funds for construction of a permanent station with the high quality design and amenities expected by the City and needed to stimulate future transit- oriented development in the area. Based upon discussion with City staff regarding comments and concerns received from Public Works, Police, Fire, and users of the station, Sound Transit has agreed to providing the following improvements to the temporary Tukwila Station by December 31, 2008 (see appendix E): • Install slip- resistant surfaces on ramps and stairs, to reduce slippery surfaces in winter. Page 15 of 19 • • Staff Report to the Tukwila City Council L07 -065: Unclassified Use Permit for Sound Transit's Commuter Rail Station • Replace the existing temporary artwork (this process will begin as soon as Sound Transit and the City define the artist selection and review process). Explore the possibility of using it to provide shelter from wind and rain • Replace and install station identification signage in a manner not requiring the sign posts to be installed in buckets of concrete. • Install signage that informs the public as to the temporary nature of the station, provides the station address, provides an update on the status of the permanent station, invites them to participate in the design process, and provides contact information for emergencies or to be involved in the design of the permanent station. • Provide two benches in the southern shelter on the western track. • Upgrade or replace the guard shelter to provide more windows that allow for better surveillance of the site. • Install a handrail on each access ramp. • Install an emergency call -box in a location to be determined by Sound Transit. • Meet with Metro transit planners and Tukwila Public Works and Department of Community Development staff to discuss short-term and long -term coordination of transit to and from the temporary commuter rail station. (Any change to Metro service requires King County approval.) • Provide City Council updates twice a year on the status of planning, construction and funding for the permanent station. The updates will be scheduled to coincide with design, engineering, and construction milestones for the permanent station project, and will also include a summary of maintenance that has occurred at the station and updates on ridership and service changes. Consequently, considering the above commitments made by Sound Transit, staff conclusions regarding the unclassified use criteria (Section 18.66.060 TMC) are as follows. 1. Where appropriate and feasible, all facilities shall be underground. The temporary station is already in place. Sound Transit is not proposing any significant changes to the existing facilities. It is not feasible to underground the platforms that are associated with the BNSF rail lines. 2. The proposed use will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity. Based on feedback staff received from station users, there are a number of personal and vehicular safety and security concerns at the station. Sound Transit has agreed to install an emergency call - box at the temporary station in 2008. Vehicles parked during the security guard's off -hours park there at their own risk. The City of Renton is responsible for responding to emergency calls at the temporary station site. Sound Transit is taking steps to ensure that the temporary facilities and amenities associated with the station (such as signage, artwork, ramps and platforms) are kept in good condition, both structurally and aesthetically, so that passenger safety is ensured and the temporary nature of the facility does not convey a negative image of Tukwila. Sound Transit is taking additional Page 16 of 19 • • Staff Report to the Tukwila City Council L07 -065: Unclassified Use Permit for Sound Transit's Commuter Rail Station measures to reduce slippery surfaces in winter and to improve passenger safety on the ramps, particularly for the handicapped. If Sound Transit completes the safety, security and maintenance improvements they have agreed to, the proposed use will not be detrimental or the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvement in the vicinity. 3. The proposed use shall meet or exceed the same standards for parking, landscaping, yards and other development regulations that are required in the district it will occupy. The temporary station is already in place, and the applicant is not proposing additional structures, landscaping or other facilities that would need to comply with TUC district standards. The parking lot is located entirely within the city limits of Renton, so Tukwila standards do not apply. However, ensuring that there is sufficient parking capacity over the next five years for station patrons is a concern. 4. The proposed development shall be compatible with surrounding land uses. As a temporary improvement, the station is generally compatible with the surrounding land uses. 5. The proposed development shall to the maximum extent feasible be consistent with and promote the goals, objectives, and policies of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and applicable adopted area plans. The temporary station is generally consistent with the goals and policies of the comprehensive plan, providing commuter rail service within walking distance of many activity areas within the Tukwila Urban Center. However, the temporary station represents only a minimal investment in public and civic amenities, and does not provide bold architectural form or distinctive character for Tukwila. The applicant needs to address parking capacity for bicycles, cars and vanshares at this station to avoid adverse impacts during the next five years until the permanent station is open and operational. Consequently, permit approval should be conditioned by the Council in order to ensure that off - street parking facilities at Tukwila Station are provided as demand warrants over the next five years and ensure adequate mitigation of off -site parking impacts, in the event that they occur. See Recommendations section below. Page 17 of 19 • • Staff Report to the Tukwila City Council L07 -065: Unclassified Use Permit for Sound Transit's Commuter Rail Station 6. The unclassified use shall, to the maximum extent feasible, mitigate all significant adverse environmental impacts on public health and private properties. Full consideration shall be given to: (a) alternative locations and /or routes that reduce or eliminate adverse impacts; and (b) alternative designs that reduce and /or eliminate adverse impacts. The temporary station is already in place. Alternative locations and designs that mitigate adverse environmental impacts will be considered during the design of the permanent station. 7. In the event that a proposed essential public facility of a countywide or statewide nature creates an unavoidable significant adverse environmental or economic impact on the community, compensatory mitigation shall be required. Compensatory mitigation shall include public amenities, incentives or other public benefits which offset otherwise unmitigated adverse impacts of the essential public facility. Where appropriate, compensatory mitigation shall be provided as close to the affected area as possible. Significant adverse environmental or economic impact on the community is not anticipated due to the continued operation of the temporary station. 8. For uses in residential areas, applicants shall demonstrate that there is no reasonable non - residential alternative site for their use. The temporary station is already in place. It is not feasible or necessary to identify alternative sites. 9. For uses in residential areas, applicants shall show that the use provides some tangible benefit for the neighborhood. As a temporary facility, the station is generally located and designed to be of benefit in providing transportation options to the community. RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends the City Council adopt the findings and conclusions of the staff report and approve the unclassified use permit for the temporary commuter rail station at 7301 South Longacres Way for the proposed time period from January 1, 2008 until December 31, 2012, and subject to these conditions. 1. For the next five years until the permanent station is open and operational: a. Sound Transit shall provide the DCD Director with parking utilization counts for the Tukwila Station parking lot on a bi- annual basis. The schedule and methods for these counts Page 18 of 19 1 • Staff Report to the Tukwila City Council L07 -065: Unclassified Use Permit for Sound Transit's Commuter Rail Station shall be subject to approval by the DCD Director. If at any time during this period the number of parked vehicles is equal to or exceeds 95% of existing capacity, Sound Transit shall identify and implement, as soon as practically possible, and at its sole cost, effective mitigation measures. b. In the event that the City of Tukwila or Sound Transit receive complaints from property owners or tenants regarding spillover parking by station patrons in nearby parking areas, Sound Transit shall identify and implement, as soon as practically possible, and at its sole cost, effective mitigation measures. c. Any mitigation measure implemented pursuant to these conditions must be acceptable to the DCD Director, and may include those measures identified by Sound Transit through its comprehensive analysis of system wide parking strategies in the System Access and Parking Committee process anticipated to occur in 2008, including reducing parking demand through such methods as coordinating transit service improvements and vanshares; providing additional bicycle parking; increasing parking supply by using the adjacent vacant lot owned by Sound Transit as temporary parking; or obtaining temporary shared parking agreements for overflow parking with nearby property owners. 2. To accommodate the current wait list for bicycle parking, Sound Transit shall provide an additional ten bicycle storage units.

I've got a couple of additional questions, have more info on the public hearing, and also wanted to give you a heads up as to the conditions of approval we're recommending to Council. Also, is it possible for you to send me the .jpgs of the photos you've included in your application, so I can make copies of some of those to include in my staff reports? Thanks. 1.

We're pleased to see that ST will install an emergency call box at the parking site. Is this phone line based? If so, could a pay phone be installed instead? No, the emergency call boxes are hard -wired to ST's proprietary fiber optic system. 3. I want to add the following (underlined) language to what ST has agreed to do: • Install signage that informs the public as to the temporary nature of the station, provides the station address, provides an update on the status of the permanent station, invites them to participate in the design process, and provides contact information for emergencies or to be involved in the design of the permanent station. We have revised the letter to state reflect your requests. 4. We have decided to recommend to council the following conditions of approval of the UUP: We recommend the following to reflect the rationale that managing parking is a better first step in urban centers, than providing more parking. 4:1�. / /1 T •..,.,\T ,, ,n1 C.14; SRO \Tnmr \ VDnmun-.. \A1 A') A R - pAb,lr_ Page 2 of 4 "Staff recommends the City Council adopt the findings and conclusions of the staff report and approve the unclassified use permit for the temporary commuter rail station at 7301 S.

While there is a wait list for bicycle lockers the existing bicycle rack is hardly if ever used. Additional bicycle lockers would likely require the removal of existing parking stalls and we do not feel the additional lockers are required. 5. Public Works wants Sound Transit to meet with Tukwila (PW & DCD staff) and Metro transit planners to discuss short-term and Tong -term coordination of transit to and from the temporary commuter rail station. Service to our Urban Center, TIB, TIB Light Rail Station, etc. should be discussed. Do you want to amend your letter dated Nov. 18, 2007 re: agreed to station enhancements to include this, or should we add it as a recommended staff condition of approval? (I would rather have you amend the letter). We have revised the letter to reflect this. 6. Public Hearing is scheduled for Monday, Dec. 3. It is going to be a full meeting, with two public hearings. Not sure yet when we're up, but I'II let you know. I will be making a presentation to the Council on the UUP permit, basically explaining the issues, things ST has agreed to, and conditions. I would recommend that ST prepare something to present during the public comment portion. Maybe include something about timelines for the permanent station in addition to whatever else you want to say about the temporary station. file• //f \ lnenments and Settinac \T.vnn \I nra1 Settinac \Temn \XPlrnWice \4742ARF4tiik- 11 /7 /2007 My staff report goes to Council this Wed, so I need responses to this by tomorrow noon at the latest.

Per our discussions, Sound Transit agrees to do the following to enhance the patron experience of the temporary station. All items will be constructed within the 2008. Slip- Resistant Surfaces: Install improved slip- resistant surfaces on "ramps" and stairs. (This is the first priority for action this year.) Artwork: Replace the existing artwork in coordination with the City Arts Council. (This can start as soon as Sound Transit and City of Tukwila staff define the artist selection and review process.) Signage: A station sign will be installed in a manner not requiring the sign posts to be installed in buckets of concrete. An additional sign, location to be determined, will inform the public as to the temporary nature of the station, provide the station address, provide an update on the status of the permanent station, invite them to participate in the design process, and provide contact information for emergencies or to be involved in the design of the permanent station. Benches: Add two benches in southern, west side shelter. Guard Siieiter: Upgrade or replace the guard shelter to provide view out of all sides. Handrails: Install handrail on one side of each "ramp." Emergency Call Box: Install new call box in a location determined by Sound Transit security. Parking: Sound Transit's priority for accommodating access to stations is: 1. Pedestrian 2.

Joni Earl • Consequently, Sound Transit is first exploring alternatives to providing new spaces for single occupant vehicle. The Transportation Facilities Division has established System Access & Parking Committee to address parking issues along the Sounder corridor. Tukwila is one of the priorities. To date, the committee has identified the following opportunities to improve access to Sounder at the Tukwila station. • Sound Transit and KCMetro will work to build on the existing 75 Vanshares at the station carrying a registered ridership of 513 patrons. (This partnership already saves hundreds of spaces.) • We will also strive for more efficient use of Vanshare through higher occupancy and scheduling, and consolidating Vanshares to larger para- transit vehicles. • Sound Transit could explore with Tukwila Public Works the potential for temporary use pervious surfaces on our vacant site if accommodating single occupant vehicle overflow parking is an option identified by the System Access and Parking Committee group. Sound Transit will provide the City of Tukwila an update on the outcome of the System Access & Parking Committee actions. Meet with King County Metro: Sound Transit will expand our ongoing coordination with Metro transit planners to include a meeting with Tukwila Public Works and Department of Community Development staff to discuss short-term and long -term coordination of transit to and from the temporary commuter rail station. Any change to Metro service requires King County approval. City Council Updates: Provide the updates twice a year. The updates will be scheduled to coincide with Preliminary Engineering project milestone, and will include a summary of maintenance that has occurred at the station and updates on ridership and service changes. Sound Transit strives to provide a high quality experience for its patrons at this temporary facility. I hope this adequately summarizes the meetings and correspondence to date. David Goldberg (206) 398 -5295 will be available to address any outstanding concerns of the City of Tukwila while I am out of town next week.

Tukwila Comments Sound Transit response Two points of clarification regarding your letter: 1. City staff have not agreed to any Sound Transit proposals at this time. The October 18, 2007 meeting was for discussion of public comments received regarding the continuing operation of the temporary station, and how some of these issues could be addressed by Sound Transit. The Tukwila City Council is the decision - making body on the resolution of these issues and approval of the UUP with conditions, if any. Okay, we were trying to capture the progress on addressing Tukwila staff issues and concerns. 2. The City of Tukwila has never agreed to postpone the construction of the permanent station for ten years. There is reference made in Sound Transit's correspondence to the Settlement Agreement (2002) and the Joint HOV and Transit Action Plan (2005) as a basis for this agreement.

We appreciate your thoughtful review of our application to extend the Unclassified Use Permit (UUP) through 2012. We look forward to discussing these prior to November 9 so that you have the information you need to complete staff report in time for a December 3, 2007 Council hearing. Draft Sound Transit Responses to Questioned Raised in November 2 Letter 1 Tukwila Comments Sound Transit response City of Tukwila. The City of Tukwila was part of the Joint HOV and Transit Action Plan, which does not include any provision for a ten year delay. Please provide us with additional written clarification on each of the following specific issues by November 9, 2007, to consider a December 3, 2007 public hearing: • Parking The City's issue regarding parking appears to be misunderstood. We are not concerned (at this point) with spillover parking. Instead, we want to ensure that sufficient parking is available for vanshares and other vehicles while the temporary station is in place, so that commuter rail ridership and growth is not limited by parking availability. We agree that we do not want to limit ridership at the station and want to continue promotion of the successful rideshare program. Rideshare vehicle will continue to have priority at all of Sound Transit's facilities. Please provide us with a copy of the 2006 Parking Study and more detail on the System Access and Parking Committee, including: Attached (hard copy via mail) o The timeline for addressing parking issues at the Tukwila Station. Sound Transit's timeline is immediate and ongoing. Currently we have: • Initiated discussion with Metro on Vanshare; • Begun engaging managers of Transportation Demand Management programs to look at increased efficiency with connections to the station; and • Initiated discussion with Boeing real estate about leasing additional parking. Our next steps depend on the outcomes of these initiatives. o Who comprises this committee? We would like to see a Tukwila representative participate on this committee. This is an internal committee working on parking issues throughout the Sound Transit facilities.

Please Amtrak provides stations. clarify whether security at other ( �, f� l\' Amtrak assumes no liability for the parking of any vehicle in a lot. • If there has been criminal activity, Amtrak informs Amtrak Police and the local authorities and request frequent patrols if possible. • In some instances Amtrak will contract with security services to provide after hours coverage by vehicular patrols. This only occurs at the Tacoma station. • Amtrak does not have an official station parking policy. Generally they make public parking available at our stations dependant upon our property rights, leases, and other particulars that are site specific. Parking may be free or at a cost if a lot is operated by a third party. • The normal signage would be that parking is at no liability to Amtrak and unauthorized parking could result in vehicles being towed. Signs are normally provided by the contracted tow company. o Sound Transit states that the expense of installing emergency call boxes or buttons at the temporary station and re- installing them at the permanent station is not cost - effective. Please explain why this is so. Do call boxes use phone lines? Are there any existing phone lines adjacent to the station that could be used? ST's IT staff is researching the details of this.

Specifically, how often will they make nighttime /weekend visits to Tukwila Station, one of the most remotely located stations along the Sounder alignment? Would this service operate daily, including weekends? What would be the role of these patrols? This is apparently an ongoing negotiation. As far as we know at this point, the new agreement will have the County Sheriff patrolling our faculties during the day and private security patrols during the off hours between 9pm and 5am.

How often does a facility inspection occur and a report produced? What assurance can you provide that the recommended maintenance and improvements will occur? At a minimum, please provide us a record of the maintenance that has occurred since 2003 in compliance with the Study's recommendations. I 0 P �ti Updating the signs at the station has not been a r_ p iority but we agree that the existing sign are old and need replacing.

The Sound Transit Art Program Manager (Barbara Luecke) is looking forward to working with the City and the community. At this time she can not commit to milestones or an action plan until she meets with the appropriate City staff and community members. She has requested that the City contact her at (206) 398 -5059 to discuss how the City would like the art process to proceed. • Safety & Security. Handrail. At our October 18, 2007 meeting, we discussed the possibility of Sound Transit installing a hand rail on the ramp as a relatively low -cost solution for improving passenger safety and accessibility, particularly for handicapped riders. Sound Transit needs to install handrails on the ramp. `— Sound Transit's Facilities Specialist has reviewed the request and is developing ideas on how to best add the handrail.

Pace 3 SOUNDTRANSIT October 26, 2007 0 Lynn Miranda Department of Community Development City of Tukwila 6300 Southcenter Boulevard Tukwila, WA 98188 • RECEIVED OCT12 9 2007 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Subject: Unclassified Use Permit Sound Transit Tukwila Temporary Commuter Rail Station Dear Ms. Miranda: We appreciate your thoughtful review of our application to extend the Unclassified Use Permit (UUP) through 2012, and for the opportunity to meet with you on October 18 and to respond to the issues raised in your letter of October 10. Sound Transit strives to provide a high quality experience for its patrons at this temporary facility. After our discussion on October 1 8, we understand that we have reached agreement on the following items. How Will Sound Transit Maintenance the Station Through 2012? Sound Transit contracts with fourteen firms to monitor and maintain the Tukwila Station to provide a safe, comfortable environment for its passengers. Because Sound Transit delayed construction of the permanent station to allow the City of Tukwila time to complete its Urban Center Plan and the cities of Renton and Tukwila to make sufficient progress with the Strander Boulevard project, the temporary station will be in use longer than its intended lifespan. Consequently Sound Transit commissioned a longevity study (completed in May 2003) to identify maintenance needed to keep the station operational through 2012, the expected opening of the permanent station. Since that time, Sound Transit contractors have addressed a number of items including: • Wood preservation • Washouts around footings • Clearing vegetation • Replacing roofs • Maintaining culverts • Upgraded the existing sump pump system Central Puget Sound Regional Transit Authority • Union Station 401 S.

The contracted and periodic maintenance is paid for from Sound Transit's operating budget. Do the CCTV cameras provide full coverage of the site? Sound Transit reviewed the camera placement and coverage with Tukwila staff The City agrees that the coverage is sufficient. Are current conditions safe for bicycles on Long Acres Way? City staff agrees that since the road is a private road and not a designated bike route, it is appropriate that bicycle riders ride in travel lanes or use the existing sidewalk. Can the guard shelter be modified to allow better surveillance of the site? Sound Transit will either add windows to the shelter or replace it with one that has windows on all sides. The City acknowledged that shelter cannot be placed on the platform without structural modifications to the platform and reducing the amount of space available to patrons. Guards are present on the platform when trains arrive and depart. Guards tour the site at least once and hour; providing sufficient surveillance without moving the shack to the platform level. Can guards ensure that homeless encampments are not established on the vacant parcel? Sound Transit will work with security staff to ensure that they adequately observe and report any illegal activities including homeless encampments. Can the existing platform be widened? Sound Transit acknowledged that the width was less than Sound transit guidelines. City and Sound Transit staff agreed that the permanent station will be constructed to meet the guidelines. Can Sound Transit ensure the ramp and walk are free from icing? Sound Transit agrees to re- enforce with security the need to immediately address icy conditions on ramps and walks. 2 • • Are additional shelters needed? The amount of shelter currently provided is somewhat below suggested in Sound Transit guidelines. Adding shelters requires modifying the structure to accept additional loads. The City agreed that the cost required to design and construct additional shelters outweighed the value. Sound Transit will explore the possibility of using new public art to provide wind and /or rain shelter. Can benches be added? Sound Transit will provide to additional benches in the southern shelter on the western track. Can Sound Transit upgrade the signage? Sound Transit ST Facilities will upgrade existing station identification signs. A station sign will be installed in a manner not requiring the sign posts to be installed in buckets of concrete. An additional sign, location to be determined, will indicate the existing station is temporary, update customers on the status of the permanent station, invite them to part of the permanent station design, provide project updates and contact information. This sign will be the beginning of the public outreach process for the design of the permanent station. Artwork: Sound Transit will replace the existing artwork in coordination with the City Arts Council. The artwork might involve a screen that would also provide some weather protection. The Sound Transit Public Art Manager is Barbara Luecke and can be reached at (206) 398 -5059. She is aware of the City's request and will be your point of contact for new public art. Addressing: Sound Transit is worked with the City of Renton and Boeing to obtain an address from the City of Renton for the temporary station parking lot. The address is 2101 Long Acres Dr SW. We understand from our meeting on October 18 that.Tukwila staff.wanted.Sound . Transit to further consider the following elements. Continuous presence of Sound Transit security guards: City of Tukwila staff expressed concern that there are passenger trains operating on weekends, and reports of car theft /vandalism during evenings and weekends when guards are not posted. They requested that security be increased from the current hours of Monday - Friday from 5 AM to 9 PM to be 24 hours each day. • Sound Transit places a high priority on the safety of our patrons. The existing security coverage begins forty minute before the first Sound Transit train and extends nearly three hours after the last train departs. 3 • • Guards are also present when Sound Transit operates special event trains on the weekends. • Closed Circuit TV monitors and record site activities 24 hours each day. • Roving security guards patrol Sounder stations during overnight hours and on weekends. Sound Transit is contracting with the King County Sheriff department for additional roving patrols starting in 2008 • Sound Transit signage clearly states, "Not responsible for loss from theft, property damage or personal injury." This means that Sound Transit will not provide security beyond the extensive security already provided. Sound transit contacted WSDOT /Amtrak staff and learned that Amtrak does not provide security at Tukwila Station. Sound Transit will not provide security for Amtrak patrons. Can emergency call boxes be placed in the parking lot and on the platform? Sound Transit maintains that the expense for this at the temporary station is not justified since guards are present when patrons are present. Call boxes can be cost - effectively installed at the permanent station to add to the security coverage. What is Sound Transit's plan to address parking that is currently at capacity? ST is fortunate in having all of their parking lots at commuter rail stations at or above capacity. This lot is within the City of Renton. Although there is a small amount of commuter parking occurring on the adjacent Boeing property, Sound Transit has not been made aware of any impacts from spillover parking on adjacent areas in the City of Tukwila. Sound Transit's priority for accommodating access to stations is: 1. Pedestrian 2. Sounder commuter rail, Express bus, local transit, including paratransit services; 3. Accessible parking 4. Bicycle /Passenger drop -off • 5. CarShare /VanShare and Carpool /Vanpool 6. Motorcycle /Scooter & Private Shuttle /Taxi 7. Passenger vehicles (park- and -ride) Consequently, Sound Transit will explore alternatives to providing additional spaces for single occupant vehicle. • Sound Transit and KCMetro have coordinated to provide 75 Vanshares at the station carrying with a registered ridership of 513. This partnership already saves hundreds of spaces. Sound Transit's Transportation Service Division completed a study in late 2006 identifying parking issues throughout the Sound Commuter line. The Transportation Facilities Division has established System Access & Parking 4 • • Committee to address parking issues along the commuter rail corridor. Tukwila is one of the priorities and addressed separately given the different parking use pattern. • Sound Transit will provide the City of Tukwila an update on the outcome of the System Access & Parking Committee actions. Initial actions may include: o Striving for more efficient use of Vanshare through higher occupancy and scheduling; o Consolidating Vanshares to larger para- transit vehicles; and o More marketing of Vanpools • Sound Transit would endorse City efforts to establish parking restrictions and other appropriate parking management strategies in the surrounding areas. Another issue you raised during our October 18 meting was the schedule for this project. For the past seven years, we have coordinated the station design and construction schedule with the City of Tukwila's Urban Center (TUC) planning and the City of Renton and Tukwila's Strander Boulevard extension project. While we had initially hoped that this temporary facility would be in place for three years, the Strander Boulevard project in particular has not progress as fast as was anticipated. When we requested the extension of the UUP in 2004, Sound Transit stressed that the project timing hinged on the progress of each City's project. At that time we acknowledged the likelihood that this facility will be in use until 2012. Fortunately the Settlement Agreement and the Joint Action Plan (April 2005), provided Sound Transit the assurance needed to begin Preliminary Engineering and Environmental Documentation. We were fortunate that City staff coordinated with so we could complete the Permanent Station Master Plan on schedule while the City continued working toward adoption of the TUC plan. Although Renton has made significant progress, the Strander Boulevard project is still at 10 %. And while Renton has just achieved 30% on the Union Pacific Railroad relocation, we are mindful that they have no formal agreement on the necessary property transactions. We remain committed to working with our partner agencies, but need to underscore that we have proceeded in good faith and attempted at every turn to construct the permanent Sounder Station as soon as possible. This is the third UUP review. The conditions and timeline are the same as the when the extension was reviewed and granted in 2004. Sound Transit strives to provide a high quality experience for its patrons at this temporary facility. We remain open to continued discussion about ways to address issues as they arise at the station however we would sincerely like this to be the last UUP for the Temporary Station (until the permanent station UUP). 5 If there are still outstanding concerns by the City of Tukwila I would be glad to sit down again with the appropriate Tukwila Staff and attempt to reach agreement on any issues you still consider to be outstanding. My goal is the reach agreement on any and all of the City's concerns prior to the November 19 City Council, or if we need to continue working towards agreement postpone the November 19 date.

October 10, 2007 Mr. Paul Cornish Project Manager Sound Transit 401 S. Jackson St. Seattle, WA 98104 -2826 Dear Paul, • Cizy of Tukwila • Department of Community Development Steve Lancaster, Director Subject: L07 -065 Tukwila Station Unclassified Use Permit (UUP) The following issues need to be addressed by Sound Transit and resolved by October 31, 2007 in order to bring your request for the UUP to a public hearing with staff before the City Council on November 19, 2007. These issues are comprised of the City's substantive review of your application, and from public comments received during the comment period that ended on October 4, 2007. If we need to reschedule the public hearing, December 3 is the next available date. Otherwise, we will need to move the public hearing date into January, 2008. • Safety Issues A. Identified Site Risk Factors (PD): 1. Ticket machines and paper machines that accept cash/credit cards. 2. 200 + /- vehicles parked in lot during the day make for inviting targets. 180 + /- vehicles parked in lot over the weekend. 3. Pedestrian walkway entering into the site on Longacres Way provides a blind spot where criminal activity could occur. 4. There is not a means of emergency communication on site after guards are off -shift. Police Dept Recommendations: Place additional cameras: - at least one camera on the northernmost light pole, looking at the pedestrian walkway under the RR trestle. - one camera at each end of the parking lot, looking toward center, covering entire parking lot. - one camera on a light pole near current guard shack, covering the vending machines. - allow local access to the cameras and recordings. At present they are fed to ST offices. - Place emergency call boxes on the site: one on platform and one at parking lot level. Steven M. Mullet, Mayor 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • Phone: 206 - 431 -3670 • Fax: 206 - 431 -3665 • • B. Security measures in place /issues: 1. Guard is posted M -F from 5 am to 9 pm. Reports of car theft/vandalism during evenings and weekends when guards are not posted. 2. Guard shack only has windows on 2 sides and is positioned in the lot where only a small portion of the platform can be observed by a guard inside. 3. There are passenger trains operating into the site on weekends when no guards are present (Amtrak & Sound Transit special event trains). 4. 4 fixed cameras on platform, 2 at each end. Intended to cover platforms ( ?), but one looks like it has been moved and only covers a small portion of opposite platform. 5. PTZ dome camera in west side of parking lot. Does not cover ticket dispensers, but is intended to cover guard shack to monitor compliance. 6. Fence around perimeter, but parking lot is open from LA Way. Vehicles not protected at night/weekends. 7. Vacant ST parcel is attracting homeless. Need better observation of site. Police Dept Recommendations: - Add contracted guard coverage. Vehicles are not protected from 9 pm to 5 am M -F, nor over the weekend from 9pm F to 5 am M. - Change the guard shack to provide windows on all 4 sides, and elevate it to the platform level to increase observation ability. C. Other safety issues 1. Longacres Way is too narrow and unsafe for bikes. 2. Elevated waiting area (platforms) is much narrower than at permanent stations. People cannot line up to wait for train, otherwise they'd be pushed on to tracks - narrower platforms are more dangerous. 3. Ramps & walks are too slick in winter. Need to install non -skid surface or put chemicals on earlier before trains arrive. 4. UUP Review Criteria #2, 1 paragraph, states that a security guard is on duty for 16 hours, from 5:30 am to 9:30 pm. Other parts of the application state the guard leaves at 9 pm. Please clarify. 5. UUP Review Criteria #2, Safety and Security, states that the area is patrolled by local police and transit security force. Besides the presence of Sound Transit guards, who is patrolling the area? The original staff report to the Tukwila City Council (11.27.2000) states that A city of Renton street address will be given to the project so that • Facilities - maintenance 1. Platform is going to need maintenance over next 5 years - looks like wood is deteriorating. 2. UUP Review Criteria #2, 2 paragraph, states that Sound Transit prepared a longevity study and maintenance plan in 2003 to enable the station to last another 10 years. We would like a copy of this report. Also, what funding is available for maintenance of the station until 2012? • Facilities - art 1. Need to clean up artwork and add color. • • • Facilities — pedestrian amenities on platform 1. Need more shelter to protect from wind, rain, cold. Elevated area is too exposed. 2. Need additional benches on platform. • Facilities - signage 1. Signage reflects poorly on Tukwila's image. Out of towners can't understand why it is so unattractive compared to other stations. Need signage or other improvements to let people know it is a temporary station. 2. Need new station sign that is not in cement buckets. Need to remove tire with cement/sign post( ?) at station entrance. 3. All other stations have reader boards. Don't know when trains are late or on -time. Need to install reader boards where both N &S bound riders can see it, or have the security guard be more proactive in keeping riders informed of delays. • Facilities - landscaping 1. Landscaping - not installed originally because of the temporary nature of the facility. What can be done now? • Facilities - smoking areas 1. Smokers congregate along entry way to platform - guard does not always enforce no- smoking rule. Need to designate & enforce a smoking area away from platform area. What happens at other stations? • Parking 1. Need additional parking for cars & vans due to increased ridership. What options is Sound Transit evaluating for additional parking for vans and cars at this station over the next five years? 2. Priority parking given to commuter vans - not enough room for SOVs. Unable to park in lot - have to park outside or on Boeing property. 3. UUP Review Criteria #3. Please explain why "the combination of riders getting on and off at the same time creates a difficult parking management issue." • Connections 1. Need better connections to Metro when train arrives. • Facilities - ADA compliance 1. Existing wheelchair ramp does not meet ADA standards for accessible design (28 Code of Federal Regulations Chapt 1, Part 36, Sect. 4.8.2 & 4.8.5). Specifically, there are no handrails on each side of ramp. There are no required level landings at each 30' of rise. Given the 11' of rise, ramp requires at least 4 landings. Slope of ramp is OK. Sincerely, Lynn Miranda Senior Planner Cc: M. Bradshaw J. Pace • • • Compatibility with surrounding land uses 1. UUP Review Criteria #4, states that the permits for the multifamily development northwest of the station have lapsed. To clarify, the building permit has lapsed. Design review on the project is valid for three years. The boundary line adjustment associated with the development was approved. • Consistency with the comprehensive plan 2. UUP Review Criteria #5 describes the station's consistency with the City's comprehensive plan. It appears that the most current version of the comprehensive plan was not used for this discussion. The reference to specific goals and policies is incorrect. We are very concerned about the quality and condition of the facility, and the fact that its life may be extended, as is, for an additional five years. When the UUP for the temporary station was initially approved in 2000, it was intended to be in place until 2004. Consequently, Sound Transit was allowed to meet only the minimum standards required for safety, access, and lighting. Landscaping, ADA, and undergrounding of all new electrical and communication facilities requirements were not met because of the anticipated temporary nature of the facilities. In addition, basically no station amenities were provided. In 2012, this "temporary station" will have been in place a total of 10 years. We would like to meet with you at your earliest convenience to resolve these issues. Please contact me at 206.417.8270. AttelAA:12,2_, A • • ATTACHMENT A: Applicant's Letter Requesting UUP • SOUNDTRANSIT August 10, 2007 Minnie Dhaliwal Department of Community Development City of Tukwila 6300 Southcenter Boulevard Tukwila, WA 98188 Subject: Unclassified Use Permit Sound Transit Tukwila Temporary Commuter Rail Station Dear Ms. Dhaliwal: On behalf of Sound Transit, I am submitting the enclosed application for an Unclassified Use Permit (UUP) for the continued operation of the existing, permitted Sounder temporary commuter rail station. The temporary station exists as a result of agreements with the cities of Renton and Tukwila, dating from 2002, to postpone construction of the permanent station for up to 10 years in order to respond to the City of Renton's Strander Boulevard project and the City of Tukwila's Urban Center planning. The temporary station was permitted in 2000 and completed in 2002. The existing permit extension expires on December 31, 2007. Sound Transit requests that the City of Tukwila permit the temporary station through December, 2012 by which time construction the permanent station should be complete. Existing temporary commuter rail station: The platforms at Sounder's temporary Tukwila Commuter Rail Station are located within the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad (BNSF) right -of -way south of Longacres Way, a private road. The park- and -ride lot, transit boarding facility, and bus stops are east of the platform on the Boeing Long acres site, within the City of Renton. The station consists primarily of two 600 foot long passenger platforms. There is one wheelchair accessible ramp at the north end of each platform. Benches, trash receptacles and canopy shelters are provided on each platform. Ticket vending machines and other passenger information are located at the northwest corner of the parking area. Pedestrian connection from the park and ride on the east side of the station to the southbound platform on west side of the track is made by way of the Longacres Way underpass. Stairs and ramps connect the platform to the ground level 200 -space parking lot, bus transit area and pedestrian ways. Sounder provides service of three trains each way scheduled as follows: Northbound: 6:24 a.m.; 6:59; 7:20; and 7:42 Southbound: 4:36 p.m.; 5:01; 5:26; and 5:56 Additional trains are scheduled to begin this fall: +, �‘ mad m. „ -t D EVELOPMEN T • Central Puget Sound Regional Transit Authority • Union Station 401 S.

Coordination with the cities of Tukwila and Renton: Around the time Sound Transit was completing design of original station in 2000, the City of Tukwila requested that Sound Transit stop design to allow for coordination with the urban center planning that the City had begun. Sound Transit agreed and submitted a UUP for construction of the temporary station. A September 2002 King County Superior Court Settlement between Sound Transit and the City of Renton included the requirements to extend the use of the temporary station for up to 10 years (through 2012) to allow Renton to design and secure funding for the Strander Boulevard extension project. In the winter of 2004 Sound Transit requested an extension of the UUP through the winter of 2007 with the potential for yearly extensions through 2012. At that time, Sound Transit communicated that design and construction would take a number of years given the need to redesign the station and coordinate with the Strander Boulevard project. The City granted an extension through December of 2007, but required the Sound Transit re -apply for further permitting of the temporary station. The extension also required Sound Transit to construct two additional passenger shelters. The construction of both shelters has been completed. Tukwila completed the Urban Center planning and Renton completed 30% design of the Strander Boulevard extension in spring 2005. Renton's concept required the relocation of the Union Pacific railroad to be adjacent to the BNSF right -of- way, and anticipated that construction would start in early 2007 and continue through 2008. In April, 2005 Sound Transit, the City of Renton and the City of Tukwila agreed to a design approach based on the Strander Boulevard design and the Tukwila Urban Center plan. Sound Transit hired KPFF to complete a refined preliminary engineering report based on that design approach. The City of Tukwila and Renton participated on the Executive Steering Committee that helped define the design and direction for project phasing. The design costs more than is available in Sound Move however ST2, if passed, contains funding for full construction. KPFF completed their report in early 2007. Although Renton has not begun construction and still must clear a number of hurdles to implementing the Strander project, they have made significant progress. Sound Transit is now ready to proceed to the next phases of design 2 while the City of Renton continues their efforts resolve issues concerning the relocation of the Union Pacific railroad right -of -way. Schedule for design and construction of the permanent commuter rail station: Sound Transit is entering into contract for Preliminary Engineering and Environmental Documentation (PE /ED) that will advance the design of all elements through 30 %. Tukwila and Renton will again participate through the Executive Steering Committee in the decisions on phasing final design and construction package. The priority established during preliminary engineering was to complete construction of the permanent station platform. The phasing will reflect the additional budget if ST2 passes and the status of the Strander Boulevard extension project. Final design would take approximately 12 months. Following a 4 month bidding period, construction of the permanent station, or an initial phase, will range from 14 to 24 months. At this point, we expect that the earliest the permanent station would be open is some time in 2011 or 2012. In closing, we emphasize our sincere appreciation of the City of Tukwila's continued cooperation in this matter.

A lot of times you can not find parking and have to wait for a train to arrive to park your car. There is not enough shelter to protect passengers during the winter, the cold, wind and rain are bad. The walks /ramps are slick in the winter and at least 1 person falls because of this every year (that I'm aware of). tl »> Lynn Miranda 9/12/2007 5:39 pm »> Hello, If you are a commuter rail rider using the Tukwila Rail Station, we're looking for your comments: Sound Transit is applying for an unclassified use permit to allow continuing operation of the temporary station until a new station is constructed (they're requesting permit valid until 2012).

It would be nice to see some kind of improvements or measures done for the safety of the ramps and platforms in the rain and snowy /frosty season. They get quite slick and I feel very unsafe in the winter time when it is constantly drizzly and sometimes freezing out. Sometimes the staff there will put down ice melt, but sometimes it just melts the ice and makes it slicker to walk on. Also, it would be nice to have more covered areas for standing and waiting, rather than just in the open air. Just my thoughts!

Iynn N thanks for asking! • . here are my comments /observations: 1) priority reserved parking is given to commuter vans, leaving inadequate parking for the rest of us. at times, we are unable to park within the designated lot and have to park outside or in the boeing property area. suggestion: increased parking for general use or maybe reserved parking for city cars? (selfish, eh ?) 2) there are 2 small shelters on each side of the tracks, but only one shelter on the southbound side has a bench. there are no other benches along the stretch of platform, just a chain -link fence to lean on. i often carry quite a bit of things with me and have often wished for a bench to sit on while waiting for a train, especially in the afternoons after working all day. suggestion: benches situated along the entire length of the platform. 3) smokers congregate along the entry way to the platform...at times the security guard is there smoking with them. train riders have to walk through the cloud to access the platform. suggestion: a designated smoking area away from the platform entrance...and enforced! 4) when the temperature falls, the platform is very slippery. they try to alleviate the problem by spreading chemicals on the walkway, but the ice or frost doesn't melt quick enough and it is still hazardous when we arrive on the morning trains. the conductors caution us as we leave the train, but we still see people slipping and falling. suggestion: install non -skid surface or put chemicals on earlier. 5) the station looks dirty, especially with the aged and weather -worn (cheesy) "artwork" or attempt at decoration. suggestion: cleanup cheesy artwork and add color! 6) all other stations have reader boards and announcements that say when the next train will arrive. at the tukwila station, we have no clue if the train will be on time or will arrive late. suggestion: install electronic reader board where both north- and south-bound riders can see it or, alternatively, have the security guard be more proactive in keeping riders informed of delays. 7) during the rainy /windy weather, because the platform is in the open and so high and unprotected, the winds blows through often strong enough to turn umbrellas inside out. the 2 small shelters are inadequate to offer a windbreak for all the people waiting, especially along the length of the train platform. suggestion: not sure of a short-term solution, but maybe could have a more protected waiting area on lower ground, close enough to get quickly up the ramp to the train when it arrives. or maybe install windbreak panels along the platform that would still allow visibility for security purposes? again...thanks for asking! if i think of anything else, i will send it on. mm »> From: Lynn Miranda To: All "User Date: 09/12/2007 5:39 pm Subject: Sounder commuter rail rider?

Per our discussions, Sound Transit agrees to do the following to enhance the patron experience of the temporary station. All items will be constructed within the 2008. Slip Resistant Surfaces: Install improved slip- resistant surfaces on "ramps" and stairs. (This is the first priority for action this year.) Artwork: Replace the existing artwork in coordination with the City Arts Council. (This can start as soon as Sound Transit and City of Tukwila staff define the artist selection and review process.) Signage: A station sign will be installed in a manner not requiring the sign posts to be installed in buckets of concrete. An additional sign, location to be determined, will inform the public as to the temporary nature of the station, provide the station address, provide an update on the status of the permanent station, invite them to participate in the design process, and provide contact information for emergencies or to be involved in the design of the permanent station. Benches: Add two benches in southern, west side shelter. Guard Shelter: Upgrade or replace the guard shelter to provide view out of all sides. Handrails: Install handrail on one side of each "ramp." Emergency Call Box: Install new call box in a location determined by Sound Transit security. Parking: Sound Transit's priority for accommodating access to stations is: 1. Pedestrian 2. Sounder commuter rail, Express bus, local transit, including paratransit services; 3. Accessible parking 4. Bicycle/Passenger drop -off 5. CarShare/VanShare and Carpool/Vanpool 6. Motorcycle /Scooter & Private Shuttle/Taxi 7. Passenger vehicles (park- and -ride) 1 • Consequently, Sound Transit is first exploring alternatives to providing new spaces for single occupant vehicle. The Transportation Facilities Division has established System Access & Parking Committee to address parking issues along the Sounder corridor. Tukwila is one of the priorities. To date, the committee has identified the following opportunities to improve access to Sounder at the Tukwila station. • Sound Transit and KCMetro will work to build on the existing 75 Vanshares at the station carrying a registered ridership of 513 patrons. (This partnership already saves hundreds of spaces.) • We will also strive for more efficient use of Vanshare through higher occupancy and scheduling, and consolidating Vanshares to larger para- transit vehicles. • Sound Transit could explore with Tukwila Public Works the potential for temporary use pervious surfaces on our vacant site if accommodating single occupant vehicle overflow parking is an option identified by the System Access and Parking Committee group. Sound Transit will provide the City of Tukwila an update on the outcome of the System Access & Parking Committee actions. Meet with King County Metro: Sound Transit will expand our ongoing coordination with Metro transit planners to include a meeting with Tukwila Public Works and Department of Community Development staff to discuss short -term and long -term coordination of transit to and from the temporary commuter rail station. Any change to Metro service requires King County approval. City Council Updates: Provide the updates twice a year. The updates will be scheduled to coincide with Preliminary Engineering project milestone, and will include a summary of maintenance that has occurred at the station and updates on ridership and service changes. Sound Transit strives to provide a high quality experience for its patrons at this temporary facility. I hope this adequately summarizes the meetings and correspondence to date. David Goldberg (206) 398 -5295 will be available to address any outstanding concerns of the City of Tukwila while I am out of town next week. Additionally, we remain open to you ideas on how we can jointly strive to provide a high quality experience for Sounder patrons at this temporary facility. Sincerely, Paul Cornish Project Manager CC: James Edwards, Division Director 2 i Lynn Miranda - RE: Unclassified use permit From: Lynn Miranda To: Paul Cornish Subject: RE: Unclassified use permit Page 1 of 3 Hi Paul, 1. The UUP for the temporary station needs to be in place until operations there cease (and presumably get transferred to the permanent station). ST must apply for a UUP for the permanent station prior to construction. These permits will probably end up overlapping. Just a head's up... the UUP for the permanent station will be a much more lengthy and involved process, including design review. 2. As I said earlier, I want to make sure we are not raising any red flags for the Council - I want to have this go as smoothly as possible. I recommend revising the cover letter and dropping the discussion about being party to the agreement, because we were not a signature party and it will raise questions from the council. Instead, you should structure the letter focusing on the timeline for design of the permanent station, and the construction sequencing schedule for the relocation of the UP lines, strander extension, permanent platforms, etc. One question I have is how soon after the construction of the permanent platforms do you anticipate transferring operations from the temp platform? 3. We had discussed having ST give a presentation to the council on the ST2 vote, possibly on the same night as the public hearing on the UUP for the temp station. I am tentatively planning on being ready to go to the Council for the public hearing the third Monday in October. However, I'm thinking we should probably brief them at an earlier meeting since that is very close to the vote date. How does the 1st Monday in October (Oct. 1) work for a briefing with your people ?? let me know and I'll get it on the Council's schedule. thanks!

Several vanshare drivers then voiced concerns about the issue, and said they had no where else to park the previous evening because the oversize spaces at the East end of the lot were full at that time. flt>• / /r• \nnriimantc ttir c \Ana \i noa Cntt;nnc \TPmn \YP( rn\➢ / ;co \A AG nn Page 1 of 3 f10/1 '7/111(17 Joe Hutchinson -- Parking & Data Coordinator Security Division Securitas 206 - 398 -5243 Original Message From: Masnik, Carol Sent: Wednesday, May 23, 2007 1:36 PM To: Bergman, Mike Cc: Hutchinson, Joe; Frederick, Ed; Cummins, Kenneth Subject: FW: Parking at Tukwila So the problem seems to be the large vans are unable to park against the fence because the spaces are filled by others. I spoke with Jim Greenwald and he will let us know how many oversize vanshares operate from there. There are no reserved signs so one solution would be to sign the appropriate number of stalls for the large vehicles. Another interesting piece of information to share is that there are several vanpools that operate as vanshares out of Tukwila. They cannot be vanshare vehicles because their employment is more than the 10 miles allowed for the vanshare program. They do take Sounder. Jim also let him know we do not own the gated property.

We take the 1st train in the morning and 1st train in the afternoon. Last night we were unable to park in the parking lot because many people are parking their personal cars there and riding later trains to Seattle and return on later trains. As they park in the parking stalls that were widened to accommodate the metro van side opening doors. Many of the long 15 passenger vans have had to park in the compact spaces at the south end of the parking lot making it difficult for the Metro buses to make the turn there. Please open up the gate at the south end of the parking lot to allow more parking and mark the wide stalls reserved for van share vans. The area south of the gate is paved and could accommodate plenty of vehicles.

It sounds like the parking lot is pretty full these days. A huge increase in the last 6 months. We have been working with King County to see if we can designate more vanpool spots. The tickets are usually for parking over the lines, parking in no parking zones and parking in the handicapped spots (these people should be getting head rubs instead).

The plans didn't quite answer my personal questions so I made a site visit. I identified some of the risk factors for the site as follows: 1. There are ticket machines and paper machines that accept cash and/or credit/debit cards on the parking lot level at the west side, about 1/3 of the way from S. Longacres Way. 2. There are 200 + /- vehicles parked in the parking lot during the day that make for inviting targets. 3. There are 180 + /- vehicles parked in the parking lot over the weekend that are also inviting targets. 4. The pedestrian walkway entering into the site along S. Longacres Way provides a blind spot where it would be possible for a person with criminal intent to waylay a pedestrian. 5. There is not a means of emergency communication at the station. If something were to happen to someone at the station, after the guards are off shift, there is no way for communicating with law enforcement or fire personnel. Some of the security measures already in place include: 1. A contracted guard post. Guards are present Monday through Friday from 0500 hours to 2100 hours. 2. I observed 4 fixed cameras on the train platform. There were 2 at each end, facing toward the center of the station. It looks as if they are to cover their sides of the platform; but one looks like it has been moved so that it will only cover a small portion of the opposite platform. 3. I observed a PTZ dome camera on the west side of the parking lot, not far from the ticket dispensers. This camera is not placed to cover the ticket dispensers. I understand that its primary purpose is to monitor contract guard compliance and is tightly focused on the guard shack. Steven M. Mullet, Mayor 6200 Southcenter Blvd. • Tukwila, WA 98188 • Phone: 206-433-1808 • Pol. Dept. Fax: 206 - 244 -6181; Admin. Fax: 206 - 433 -7197; Invest. Fax: 206 - 431 -3688 i Cc: Sgt. Sacha 4. There is a fence around the parking lot perimeter. I did not see any cuts in the fence, however there would not be a need to cut into the fence as the parking lot is open from S. Longacres Way. Recommendations: 1. I would recommend placing additional cameras as follows: a. Place at least one camera on the northernmost light pole, looking at the pedestrian walkway under the track overpass. b. Place one camera at each end of the parking lot, looking toward the center, covering the whole parking lot. c. Place one camera on a light pole near where the current guard shack is located, covering the vending machines. d. Allow local access to the cameras and recordings. At present, the cameras are fed into a Sound Transit office (at the King Street Station ?). They could be fed into the Tukwila CBD system or a similar Renton system. 2. Add contracted guard coverage. There are about 180 vehicles from Van Pool, the City of Tukwila, AMR Ambulance, etc. left overnight in the lot for commuters arriving on the morning trains. They are not protected from 2100 hours at night until 0500 hours in the morning, Monday through Friday. They are especially not protected from 2100 hours Friday until 0500 hours on Monday. 3. Change the guard shack. The guard shack only has windows on two sides and is positioned in the lot where only a small portion of the lot and a small portion of the platform can be observed by a guard inside. I would put in a guard shack with windows on all four sides. I would recommend elevating it to the platform level to increase its observation ability. 4. Place emergency call boxes on the site. a. One on the platform. b. One at the parking lot level. c. Note: There are passenger trains operating into the site on weekends when there are no guards present. I conducted a few interviews and have heard that the Tukwila Station and parking may be the least protected in the Sound Transit system. I have not yet had an opportunity to verify that. Note that my recommendations do not include any thoughts I may have regarding the site's vulnerability to terrorist acts.

Kotelenska, M.S. Rob Huyck, Safety Manager, Sound Transit Prepared for: Ellen Gustafson Deputy Director of Transportation Services Sound Transit Transportation Services Parking Report (DRAFT) ii 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Transportation Services Parking Report (DRAFT) This report grew out of stakeholder complaints and staff observations about parking conditions at Sounder stations. The project quickly grew to include a review of all current and planned Sound Transit parking and touched on transit partner parking. At present, Sounder is at eight of eighteen anticipated trips south and four of six anticipated north (roughly half the intended service) and two facilities (Puyallup and Sumner) are over 100% capacity. Staff is working to lease additional parking. Flagship stations, Kent and Auburn, are at 60 and 95% respectively— showing a need for additional planning. The recommendations contained in this report were developed by staff in consultation with the Transportation Services Department, Community Transit, King County Metro Transit and Pierce Transit, as well as external resources such as the Victoria Transportation Policy Institute and a review of available literature. This issue crosscuts all departments and effects other agencies and the communities we serve. Therefore, an interim working group should be formed of appropriate planning and operations staff to address this emerging issue. In the short term (6 months) an interim parking enforcement methodology described in the appendix should be implemented. Intermediate to long term solutions should be developed in concert with our stakeholders by the working group, who should examine the wide range of options and solutions to be found nationwide. The interim working group should bring recommendations to the directors on some of the critical questions such as: • Who at Sound Transit should be permanently responsible for management of parking and how much management is needed? • Should Sound Transit continue to increase its parking supply? Do we just continue to build parking along with our transit partners or work towards a regional approach? • How can we use existing parking capacity more efficiently'? Should we hire vendors to manage our parking garages? • How do we reduce parking demand? Can we get better bus service to our lots and services? • How do we want to respond to spillover impacts? If we enforce our parking rules, how do we address the impact on parking in the surrounding neighborhoods? • Should we charge for parking? Should we issue passes or permits? • Should we purchase outlying Tots at a reduced cost and shuttle passengers to our stations? 1 2.0 DEFINITIONS Transportation Services Parking Report (DRAFT) Parking costs include land, construction and operating costs of parking facilities. On- street parking refers to parking spaces provided in a parking lane within public road rights -of -way. Off - street parking refers to other types of parking facilities. Surface parking refers to parking facilities consisting of a paved area of land. Structured parking (also called parkades) refers to parking within or under a multi -story building. 3.0 REFERENCES 3.1 Sound Transit Board Motion M2002 -122 3.2 VTPI, "Parking Management," Online TDM Encyclopedia, Victoria Transport Policy Institute (www.vtplorg), 2005. 3.3 Smart Parking Management Field Test, A Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) District Parking Demonstration, Institute of Transportation Studies, University of California, Davis, 2005. 4.0 LIST OF FIGURES AND TABLES Figure 1.

In developing an enforcement approach it became clear there were larger management issues that needed to be addressed. This document was developed to outline the challenges and opportunities we face and presents a proposed parking management strategy for Sound Transit both in the short (six months to a year) and intermediate (up to 2010) term. The proposed strategy strives to remain consistent with the Board's principles and give direction to future decision- making for the implementation of parking management at all Sound Transit sites. A regionally based approach may be also further considered. The purpose of the parking management plan is to: • Clearly define the intended use and purpose of the parking system; • Manage the supply and enforce the parking policies and regulations; • Monitor use and respond to changes in demand; and, • Maintain the intended function of the overall system. 6.0 BACKGROUND Sound Transit has been delivering projects in accordance with the Sound Move plan. Some of the original assumptions about other agencies accepting our projects and operating and managing them have not occurred. Sound Transit now operates a transit system in Tacoma and has various facilities over three counties. This system of facilities is expected to more than double in size by 2010. We have received Board member and customer comments as well as comments from local fire officials about parking illegalities at some of our facilities. This has resulted in Facilities restriping one facility and Security sending letters out to the owners of illegally parked cars. Very few vehicles have been towed to date — those mostly stolen and abandoned vehicles. This project is time critical given identified difficulties with illegal and overflow parking at the Sounder commuter rail stations and stakeholder complaints. It ties closely with Facilities maintenance activities and potentially impacts our ridership by capping parking capacities. Yet, adding capacity is a cost item not originally contemplated in the Sound Move plan or in the individual project management plans. Parking management costs likewise do not seem to have been anticipated. Nevertheless, Sounder service is at eight of eighteen anticipated trips south and four of six anticipated north, and we have constructed nearly half 3 Transportation Services Parking Report (DRAFT) , jJ' w kJ—LA- cwt yr v-- pL 4 L o t 1 of the parking stalls intended by 2010— therefore, this seems like a good time to take a look at our options. 6.1 Sound Transit Parking Management Constraints There are obvious difficulties in managing parking at Sound Transit, such as: • The project is time critical as overflow (illegal) parking is already an issue at some stations /locations; • Geographically facilities are spread over an area of 82 miles by 20 miles in three counties; • The size of the management task is considerable with a mixture of surface and garage facilities, and, a variety of contractor management/maintenance arrangements; • Sound Transit has no front line service personnel —so, knowing what is going on in the field requires notice by either security or facility /janitorial contractors; • Sound Transit entered in to a number of agreements during the planning of each facility and any enforcement approach requires many exceptions tailored to each site (e.g. reserved parking, vendor /contractor leases, and carpoot/vanpool); • ST Policy Regulating the Use of ST Parking Facilities is to be applied to ALL facilities owned by ST (may they be operated by ST or not). Inter -local agreements are to determine what policy applies at facilities co -owned by ST. • Parking is not the central mission of Sound Transit, but is essential implied element of the Sound Move plan. • There is no individual responsible for management of this issue, nor an enterprise budget nor staff —this is a crosscutting issue with interrelated responsibilities between Operations, Safety & Security, and Facilities; and, • Contract partners (Community Transit, King County Metro Transit, Pierce Transit) do not have a unified approach to parking management (either with regards to signage or enforcement) at their facilities, many of which are served by Sound Transit buses. 6.2 Parking Demand Some Sounder commuter rail locations are at or near capacity (such as, Sumner, Puyallup and Auburn), others have not been fully utilized (Kent, Tukwila, Edmonds, Everett). Sound Transit is not the sole user of stations served by bus connections. Additional capacity is taken by ad hoc carpools and transit sponsored vanpools or ferry passenger parking. Demand is not consistent, but varies on time of day as shown on the chart below. Specific data on Sounder parking can be found in Section 7. Typical Parking Facility Occupancy 120% 100% z 2 U) 80% 60% 440% 1 A 20% 6.3 Future Service Transportation Services Parking Report (DRAFT) 0% 096 20% 40% 60% 8096 Portion of Time (annual hours) Figure 1. Typical parking facility occupancy (VTIP, 2005) 6.4 Agreements with other Agencies 5 100% Capital Projects forwarded a list of construction projects to be completed by 2010. A review of the list shows a possible total of 14,123 off - street and structured parking stalls constructed by Sound Transit by that date. Further, of facilities served by Sound Transit service regardless of ownership, there will be over 23,600 parking stalls connected with our service. Many of these are administered by transit contractors (e.g., Lynnwood, Tacoma Dome), but it appears Sound Transit will be directly responsible for operations and maintenance at minimum 8,717 stalls— exclusive of any parking developed by Central Link or any parking leased by Sound Transit. This list includes eight parking garages (Lakewood, Tacoma Dome ((two 1,200 stall garages that we pay 80% of the costs on currently)), Federal Way, Auburn, Kent, Mercer Island, and Issaquah), which have extensive maintenance and security needs that increase operational costs. See Appendix B for a list. Sound Transit has an agreement that affects the use and operation of each of its parking facilities— whether directly managed or not. It should be noted that there is no boilerplate language about parking issues nor consistency on how our transit contractors manage parking on the facilities they operate. These agreements effect how any enforcement effort is undertaken. An example is the agreement at Kent, which allows for parking by the local theatre and reserves 191 stalls for King County. Auburn likewise has stalls reserved for the City and short term parking for local retail stores co- located in the garage. A full catalogue of agreements needs to be conducted, facilities verified (location and number of stalls counted) and a master matrix developed. The Transportation Services Parking Report (DRAFT) Puget Sound Regional Council has a Transit Station Community Project that could function as a resource in developing parking strategies in light of the larger community. 6.5 Sound Transit Parking Policy The Office of Policy and Planning developed a interim parking policy for Sounder commuter rail in 2001 (M2001 -119). A final agency -wide policy was drafted and approved by the Board on December 12, 2002. The policy can be found in Appendix A. 7.0 EXISTING PARKING INVENTORY AND UTILIZATION EVALUATION 7.1 Station Utilization A baseline summary of parking utilization station by station was conducted using the following methodology: Security: • Counts of parking usage were taken at all Sounder station parking facilities. • . Counts were taken hourly between 6 — 9 a.m. and 3 — 7 p.m. e Counts occurred on two consecutive mid - weekdays (Tuesday and Wednesday or Wednesday and Thursday) of a non - holiday week and not adjacent to a holiday week. Figure 2. Parking utilization survey of Sound Transit facilities 6 All stations are used heavily during the day for commuters with some minor mid -day movement as shown on Table 1 above. The counts revealed that we are over capacity at Sumner (103 %) and Puyallup (131%) at Tess than 50% service implementation. We are at 95% capacity at Auburn and 60% capacity at Kent. All other stations have adequate capacity at this time. Parking utilization baseline data can be found in Appendix C. 7.2 CarpoolNanpool Parking Anecdotally, there are ad hoc and formal car and vanpools parking at Sounder facilities. However, for the ad hoc car /vanpools a true count is not possible. The issue here is that car /vanpools are taking up space our commuter service passengers might use. Car /vanpools have the option of using other transit provided parking (local park and rides), but our customers must be near enough to the platforms to walk and board our service. 7.3 Parking Inventory 8.0 POLL OF SIMILAR AGENCIES Transportation Services Parking Report (DRAFT) Capital Projects has provided a list of all parking facilities Sound Transit has or will build (with Capital Projects oversight) and Customer Services and Facilities have provided lists of facilities and parking stalls. These lists do not. include Central Link parking (only Airport Link anticipates parking at this point) or any leased facilities used by Sound Transit customers (such as, the Puyallup Eagles, Mercer Island -1st Church Christ Scientist, Mercer Island - Initial Tropical Plants and the Sumner Presbyterian Church). One difficulty encountered in preparing this report is the lists of facilities and numbers of stalls available at each did not agree (i.e., three lists - three totals) and leased facilities did not appear on some of the lists. In talking with Community Transit, King County Metro Transit and Pierce Transit, there is no apparent consistency in parking enforcement. For instance, Community Transit utilizes the Snohomish County Sheriff (by contract) for parking enforcement and has a fairly aggressive program. King County Metro Transit parking issues are the responsibility of the Transit Police (Chuck Cox) who have issued two tickets. Pierce Transit uses a contractor (Diamond Parking) at the Tacoma Dome garages (2,400 stalls) and their own supervisors to patrol the remainder of their parking facilities as they can. Each agency has expressed interest in developing a unified approach. Please see, Appendix D, PVE Other Agency Statistics for summary information. 7 Transportation Services Parking Report (DRAFT) 9.0 SOUND TRANSIT RECOMMENDED ENFORCEMENT The transition from not enforcing our parking policy to fully implementing it should be done in stages with adequate notice to our customers and mindful that there may be some local neighborhood impacts as a result of our actions. Short (6 —12 months) and intermediate term (up to 2010) approaches are outlined below. However, the initial step should be the formation of a working group to address parking issues (this is somewhat beyond the scope of "safety"). The working group should consist of members of the Office of Policy and Planning, Transit Operations, Transit Oriented Development, Facilities, Security, who are the primary players in operating and managing Sound Transit's parking assets. The primary purpose of the working group is to come out with recommendations for management (i.e., find a home for this activity) and work with CT, PT and KCM on a uniform policy (or at least their agreement to manage our owned facilities that they manage to our policy) if possible. They could also explore longer term solutions or, if a technologic approach is indicated, evaluate our.options. 9.1 Short term (6 -12 months) Over the next 6 —12 months the parking issues we have at more heavily used stations needs to be addressed in order to demonstrate to our stakeholders that we can manage our assets effectively. It is recommended this be done using three approaches: a. Facility restriping and signage upgrades. This is already underway at Puyallup and Sumner stations. This same approach should be taken at all Sounder stations. b. Customer notices that we are to begin parking enforcement for all illegally parked vehicles and an outline of our approach. c. Security, starting at the most problematic stations should begin implementation of the procedure found in Appendix E. d. A budget for the short-term parking enforcement solution (based on issuance of 30 warnings per day) is estimated at $4,500 for the period of 6 months: 2 Polaroid cameras (80./ each) 3 Chalk Sticks (30./ each) Chalk (144 pc) monthly supplies: Film (150 pc) Notices (1000 W + 50 T pc) 8 $ 160.00 $ 90.00 $ 35.00 $ 285.00 $ 225.00 $ 400.00 $ 625.00 Transportation Services Parking Report (DRAFT) An administrative support will be required for 35 -40hrs a week to enter violation and DMV data, scan documentation, maintain database, create ad hoc reports, process mailings to customers, and answer phone, email, or letter customer inquiries. 9.2 Intermediate term (1 — 5 years) a. Staffing and responsibility. As construction projects near completion over the next four years, it is advisable for the agency to establish an individual charged with the responsibility of coordinating on the issues of parking and parking enforcement both internally and externally. This individual should be in a management level position. The manager will also need an assistant (Project Assistant) to maintain the proper supply of ticket stock, arrange for maintenance, generate and respond to correspondence, track all parking spaces owned or leased by Sound Transit (both in regards to condition and location), arrange for security focuses on problematic areas, generate work orders for signage, striping and repair (e.g., lighting). They should be responsible for making (or consulting on) agreements with outside entities on parking issues on new projects; creating a sustainable system for Sound Transit that clearly defines the intended use and purpose of the parking facilities /lots that Sound Transit leases or owns;. managing the supply and enforcing the parking policies and regulations; monitoring use and responding to changes in demand; and, maintaining the intended function of the overall system. The parking working group should consider who this should be. b. Sound Transit should look at Parking Guidance Information Systems in concert with affected jurisdictions. Such systems minimize parking search traffic in central cities and in large parking facilities by using sensors that gather parking availability information and then send it to a central computer for processing, and information about parking availability is communicated to drivers by static or variable message signs, phones, radio, the Internet, or in- vehicle navigation systems. c. Sound Transit consider purchase a off- the -shelf electronic ticketing capacity and database system (maintained by the provider) that provides for security to issue tickets in the field and captures the illegal parker's information. The model suggested is for the habitual offender to receive two tickets in a rolling twelve month period and (if they park illegally at any Sound Transit facility within that rolling twelve month period) to have their car towed without further notice. d. Other options include: preferential parking for carpools and vanpools -- reservation of close in, or otherwise preferable parking spaces so as to encourage the shared -ride mode; peripheral parking lots with shuttles to stations; minimal charge for parking ($1.00) to offset security and 9 Transportation Services Parking Report (DRAFT) maintenance costs; vehicle occupancy pricing: under this strategy, rates for parking are set at or above the market rate for single occupancy vehicles, while carpool and vanpool rates are discounted or free. 10.0 ANALYSIS OF POTENTIAL IMPACTS 10.1 Potential Spillover Parking Impacts As we enforce parking rules at our facilities while at the same time building ridership, it is likely we will see more illegal residential and commercial parking around our facilities. This may lead to complaints of "hide -n- ride" impacts to the local residents and businesses. The parking working group should consider the political impacts to the agency of these issues and develop strategies and authority for working with the local jurisdictions in addressing any parking spillover impacts, by use of such things as the creation of residential parking zones, or other on- street controls such as time based pricing or metering systems. 10.2 Hide -n -Ride Impacts We have already seen some abuse of the Puyallup leased lot when enforcing parking at our primary lot. Specifically, over - parking at the Eagles leased lot in Puyallup, which exceeds leased spaces (after we striped and warned motorists about illegal parking at the primary facility). City of Puyallup imposed three hour parking on surface streets around the station in order to limit commuter parking. Sumner shows signs of too many cars on the local residential streets for the number of houses. These issues may generate complaints. 10.3 CarpoolNanpool Parking Impacts Sound Transit's policy encourages creation of ad hoc and formal carpools and vanpools. This part of the policy may need revisiting. Already we have some competition for spaces at Sounder stations caused by these informal car /vanpools. However, we cannot currently enforce against them due to Policy 4 of the Board approved parking policies. 10.4 Central Puget Sound Regional Impacts As mentioned previously, of facilities served by Sound Transit service, regardless of ownership, there will be over 23,600 parking stalls by 2010. Clearly, this effort could use some coordination and cooperation between Sound Transit and its transit partners /contractors. These issues have an impact on our communities (land space used for only peak parking) and on 10 Transportation Services Parking Report (DRAFT) the transit agencies (as the average maintenance per stall is around $560 - $840 per year in 2002 US$). 11.0 RECOMMENDATIONS Sound Transit's issues are not in any way unique. Each of our transit partners grapples with many of these same issues. Table 1. on page 12 attempts to outline some of our options (please note, these are not all -or- nothing solutions but a cafeteria of suggested approaches) and a rough timeline for consideration by the parking workgroup. Additionally, many options and issues have been outlined by the Victoria Transportation Policy Institute as shown in table 2. on page 13. Parking for transit use is a regional issue that has received little coordinated attention at the enforcement level. It is a cross- cutting issue that ties into city and county growth management and Transit Oriented Development projects. The following general recommendations are made by the authors: • The Transportation Services Department should take the lead in establishing the interim parking working group and, attempt to develop a uniform approach (e.g., signage, and enforcement policies) in concert with Community Transit, King County Metro Transit and Pierce Transit (at minimum agreements to enforce ST's policy at those locations they operate need to be obtained per the Board Policy); • The Office of Policy and Planning should take the lead in reaching out to other entities such as, the Puget Sound Regional. Council (e.g., their Transit Stations Community Project), possibly the Regional Transit Improvement District, and each affected city jointly impacted by these issues; • Transit Oriented Development should explore revenue generating opportunities in partnership with local businesses and housing; • Sound Transit should conduct further study of the parking management issues outlined in this report, including developing a comprehensive list of locations and number of stalls, evaluation of existing conditions, and plans for management of current owned or leased parking facilities; • Sound Transit should conduct reviews of other City and transit system solutions and best practices (such as, outlined in the Smart Management Parking Field Test — BART) for assistance in developing our approach; • Sound Transit should immediately begin properly signing and painting its facilities consistent with local regulations; • Sound Transit should immediately begin parking enforcement (on an interim basis) using the methodology described in this report. 1 1 ki':5- ., 4.4V,ipitissOn,eil tyWciforilt — 1.. • ,. r .-4., , , , ,-..47, n.1 — r'firlt-- :-...„--,:x: •`,..:: .4..,, - -- ' T...4,8-- - ,:,':4 ye::;;:.. 45 -,;.,.,:it-i -5 .- ';'," - .,,,,,, - e Atl ' 7 :',: ,%.1.17:1;; 14 .... .• _ — IM x pi8i115311.tatiOn:OtepS . • 1 Customer flier/VMS notice 2 Stick on notice (violation 8 tow) x x x Purchased and received May change based on frequency and types of violations Under development -- target 2/06 3 Tow only overtime and fireMne violators 4 Local database (unsupported) 5 Letter to customer x Some sent already 6 Monitor transit facilities usage x Started to collect counts, developing matrix 7 Transit facilities audit x 41 of stalls, ownership and agreements on operations and usage (e.g. retail, leases to municipalities, carpoollvanpool ) 8 Future transit facilities audit x Received list of construction project completion and k of stalls 9 Signage audit x 10 Link Light Rail facilities audit x 11 Park.

Sample Options, Considerations and Issues Outlined by the Victoria Transportation Policy Institute. 13 Transportation Services Parking Report (DRAFT) APPENDIX A Adopted by Sound Transit Board 12/12/2002 Policies Regulating the Use of Sound Transit Parking Facilities Policy 1: Parking in Sound Transit parking lots is reserved primarily for transit customers and other authorized users. a. Parking is on a non - reserved first -come, first - served basis. b. All vehicles must be parked in designated parking stalls or other identified parking areas. Policy 2: When building parking facilities, Sound Transit may enter into partnerships which generate more parking capacity than would be the case, without the partnership. In such cases, Sound Transit will consider allowing non - transit parking uses for the facility as long as the primary use for transit users is preserved. Sound Transit will develop written agreements with the partner, specifying detailed terms and conditions for the use and management of the parking facility, that consider at least the following issues: a. That the time and manner with which non- transit parking customers use the facility does not impact transit users, taking into consideration both short term and long term demand for parking for transit purposes. b. The administrative costs associated with monitoring and enforcing how the facility is used. Policy 3: In accordance with ADA guidelines, a limited number of parking spaces at every Sound Transit parking facility are reserved for persons with disabilities. a. Vehicles parked in these stalls must clearly display identification indicating that the person who parks there is physically disabled according to state law. b. Parking in ADA- designated stalls is on a first -come, first - served basis. Policy 4: Persons using public or private vanpools or carpools may use Sound Transit parking facilities in order to form vanpools. Van /carpoolers are strongly encouraged to take public transit to the Sound Transit parking facility to form the carpool rather than driving their cars. Sound Transit will implement a flexible policy regarding allowing persons to use its parking facilities to form public or private vanpools or carpools. Sound Transit will allow carpool parking at some of its parking facilities but may prohibit it at facilities where capacity is limited. 14 Transportation Services Parking Report (DRAFT) Policy 5: Under no circumstances will non - emergency vehicles be allowed to park in designated fire lanes. Vehicles parked in designated fire lanes will be immediately subject to impoundment. Policy 6: Parking in the same designated stall shall not exceed 24 continuous hours, without prior notification to, and approval by, Sound Transit. Sound Transit may vary time limits by community and by line of business, based on a variety of factors including the hours of service, parking capacity and the unique needs of each community. Parking limitations shall be posted at all parking facilities owned and operated by Sound Transit. Vehicles parked in the same designated stall or undesignated area beyond the established time limit will be considered abandoned and subject to impoundment Periods of severe weather, such as snowstorms, or other adverse events, including public emergencies and earthquakes, will not count in the time limit calculation. Policy 7: Parking in Sound Transit parking lots is reserved for transit customers and other authorized users. Sound Transit policy prohibits the following unauthorized uses and such vehicles are subject to impoundment. a. Parking by non - transit patrons or unauthorized vehicles except as provided in accordance with Policy 2 and Policy 10 b. Large or oversize vehicles (vehicles which because of their size would use more than one stall) c. Camping in vehicles d. Parking of vehicles for the primary purpose of advertising the vehicle for sale e. Parking in bus zones or passenger pickup /drop -off areas f. Improperly parked vehicles g. Retail or commercial parking except as provided in accordance with Policy 2 h. Vehicle storage for residential or commercial purposes i. Abandoned vehicles j. Vehicle maintenance or repair other than emergency repairs Policy 8: In an effort to encourage ridership on Sound Transit and transit partner services, Sound Transit may enter into agreements with: 15 Transportation Services Parking Report (DRAFT) a. Area employers and municipalities to provide daytime or overnight parking for shuttle vehicles that transport Sound Transit riders to and from the station/parking facility to the work site. The following conditions would apply: 1. Only vehicles that have been authorized by Sound Transit may park overnight at the stations. 2. The vehicle must be used to transport Sound Transit passengers to and from the station and the work destination. 3. Each authorized vehicle will be registered with Sound Transit. No other vehicles can be substituted without prior arrangement and approval from Sound Transit. b. On a demonstration basis, privately owned member -based car - sharing businesses for vehicles to be placed at Sound Transit parking facilities. The following conditions would apply. 1. The company shall, on a regular basis, provide Sound Transit with customer survey information that demonstrates that the availability of its vehicles has fostered increased transit use by its members. 2. The company shall promote usage of Sound Transit's regional transportation system in connection with the promotion of its products and services. All promotional or marketing information using Sound Transit's trademark, agency name, or other information regarding shall be approved in advance by Sound Transit and copies of such promotional materials shall be provided to Sound Transit free of charge. Policy 9. Sound Transit acknowledges the desire of communities to utilize its parking lots for a variety of events such as community fairs and festivals. Sound Transit will evaluate each proposal on a case -by -case basis provided that the intended use reflects some public benefit and will not conflict with the priority for transit parking. a. Sound Transit may make its parking facilities available for publicly sponsored events at a nominal fee to cover direct costs. Requests for public events should be made by the sponsoring government agency. b. Sound Transit may make its parking facilities available for events sponsored by other users, including private and non - profit organizations. Rental fees will be charged that will, at a minimum, offset the direct and indirect costs of the event. c. The nature of the proposed use should not be for long -term or ongoing events, but rather allowed on a per use basis. 16 Transportation Services Parking Report (DRAFT) d. All uses will require a use permit issued by Sound Transit and the user will be required to pay relevant fees and meet the minimum insurance and indemnification requirements. e. Criteria for evaluating each use may include but not be limited to the following: • Potential conflicts with transit customer parking • Current use patterns and availability of parking • Public benefit of the proposed use • Potential benefit to transit ridership • Safety and security considerations Policy 10: Parking policies are a responsibility of the agency that owns the facility. Where policies are inconsistent, the owner's policies shall apply. a. For those parking facilities owned by Sound Transit -- but managed by a partner transit agency or jurisdiction -- Sound Transit's parking policies will apply. b. For those parking facilities that Sound Transit may have helped fund, but which are owned by a partner transit agency or jurisdiction, the partner's parking policies will apply. c. To the extent that facilities are co -owned and operated, an interlocal agreement will identify a lead agency whose policies will apply. 17 ct 1 i i u � 1Plifl Pill I li . � � i ii 1 �!j � � n;; nn n eau u1 010111 111111111110111 .: Ill 1 11 11111111111111111111111111111111111111110111111111111111111! !IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII 3 i i °�. t Hi EiE iiPfif s - Eriiii g 1 i �� - �liifiii APPENDIX D.

It was designed by MBT Architecture and engineered by KPFF Consulting Engineers and Abacus Electrical Engineers. Due to the potential east -west connection of Strander Boulevard south of the station, the permanent station will not be built for at least 10 years from now. The purpose of this study is to determine the longevity of the current temporary station, identify the required interventions and maintenance to enable the station to last another 10 years, and to perform a cost benefit analysis that compares the costs o rep acing the station with the costs of repairing and maintaining the current station. In addition, the report will discuss the feasibility to add four additional passenger shelters on the platform to aid in passenger comfort. General Arrangement The existing temporary structures consist of two railway access platforms, both approximately 600 ft in length and 10 ft. deep (one north bound and one south bound). There is a temporary weather shelter on each platform, and a ticket shelter adjacent to the parking lot. The platforms are founded on an earthen embankment that supports the railway. The embankment slopes down at approximately 3o degrees away from the rail bed to a total depth of approximately 15 feet. Access to the platforms is gained through wooden stairs and ramps. Refer to the site plan located on page 7. MBT Architecture SOUND TRANSIT TUKWILA COMMUTER RAIL STATION Design Philosophy Site Observations Introduction / Background The selection of the materials for the existing station was based on the following parameters: the exposed weather conditions, readily available material with no long lead times (the design and construction schedule was very condensed), reduction of cost, and a 5 -year life span (the design team assumed a slightly longer life span than requested by Sound Transit). These parameters ended up dictating a mostly wood structure. All dimensional lumber is pressure treated #2 hem fir. Platform and ramp decking is exterior grade plywood with a factory applied grit surface to aid in traction and to withstand the exposed conditions. Railings are chain -link fencing, and shelters have cedar lap siding and corrugated polycarbonate roofing. The inspection of the platforms was performed between December 31, 2002 and January 7, 2003. At the time of the inspection, the platforms were in a wet condition. The wet conditions were advantageous in that it helped to identify areas of standing water on the platform and areas subject to continuous wetness during the rainy season. MBT Architecture 2 SOUND TRANSIT TUKWILA COMMUTER RAIL STATION Report Summary Structural Analysis and Life of the Station in its Current Condition The seismic loads used to design bracing and diaphragms elements are based on the Design Basis Earthquake, which has a 1o% probability of excedance in 5o years. This force level is typically used for design of buildings with a 100 year service life. Therefore, for seismic purposes the structures of the station will exceed the 10 year requirement and will not require retrofitting or strengthening. However, as with exposed wood structures, material durability is often what determines the life of the structure and although the platforms, ramps and shelters could meet this 10 year requirement, it is highly contingent on regular maintenance. It is critical that wood structures exposed - to the elements have a regular program of maintenance to prevent premature deterioration. Because of this, it is our opinion that the platforms, ramps, shelter structures, and other portions of the station can probably remain serviceable for the next two to five years if no further remedial work (such as recommended in this study) is performed. We would still highly recommend that periodic visual inspections be done during this time. It is important that these inspections are carried out so that serious unforeseen problems may be identified before they become a safety concern. The estimate does not acknowledge the possibility of repair work resulting from the effects of earthquake, wind, periods of excessive wetting or local structural damage that may occur as a result of moving vehicles. Cost Benefit Analysis The cost of replacing the station, building an entirely new station at this time with the purpose of making it last 10 years, is estimated to cost $772,000 (refer to the cost estimate section below). This amount does not include design fees, construction management or other permitting fees associated with new construction. On the other hand, we estimate that the required remediation, intervention, and maintenance required for the existing station to remain in service for the next ten years is roughly $261,674 (refer to the cost estimate section below). Therefore, from a cost point of view it is prudent to maintain the existing station and perform the items identified in this study. We would also like to highlight that it is also prudent to follow this course of action for reasons of environmental sustainability and material resource conservation. MBT Architecture 3 SOUND TRANSIT MBT Architecture Introduction TUKWILA COMMUTER RAIL STATION Recommended Maintenance & Improvements We have identified 33 maintenance and improvement items that could poten- tially affect the life span of the current station. These items range from things that require no action at this time yet need to be watched, to items that require immediate action, to occurring maintenance items. Each item identi- fied has 3 parts to it: a time frame and frequency in which the item should be attended to; a finding section which describes the item; and a recommendation section which describes our recommended action. We have included pictures next to the item where appropriate as well as locating the item on the site plan located on page 7. Some items have additional drawings located in the appen- dix to help describe the recommended action. The purpose of this section is to identify problems that we see and to suggest a time frame and recommended way to correct the problems. This report is descriptive in nature and not intended to be a detailed explanation on how to accomplish the work recommended such as a set of contract documents would be. We have provided manufacturers information where it seemed ap- propriate and only as a guide for further, more detailed direction. 4 SOUND TRANSIT TUKWILA COMMUTER RAIL STATION Recommended Maintenance & Improvements The summary list, on the following page, is a complete list of items organized by item number, title, and recommended frequency of action which are bro- ken down into 9 categories. Items may fall into one or more category of action depending on the issue at hand. A brief explanation of the categories is as follows: Critical Immediate: These are items that need to be done now to guard against further degradation of the structure. These are items that if not done now, fix- ing them later on will cost much more and may affect the structural integrity of the structure. Perform within 12 Months: Items that are not critical but should be done rela- tively soon. Many of these items if done now will not need to be done again for the life of the station (lc) years). Perform as Needed: Only one item (#24:3— Ice and frost on decks) falls into this category. This means that when the potential for ice is present action needs to be taken. Perform Semi - annually, yearly, every 3 - 4 years, every 5 years: We have estimated how often an item needs attention and have placed it into these respective categories. Action not Required Now: These are items that could become a problem later on but do not require action now. They are highlighted so that they may be included in the yearly inspection. Include in Yearly Inspection: Most but not all items fall into this category. Some of the items, if done when recommended will not require further regular inspection.

The decking used is 3/4" tongue & groove with a factory applied non -slip coating (Skidguard). Some of the decking was placed so that a grooved edge was exposed to the weather. Where this occurs, the application of a polyurethane resin edge sealant was required to protect the edge from moisture. This has been somewhat effective but there are areas where moisture has penetrated and is starting to swell and delaminate the plywood. Recommendation Plywood panels that have significant water damage on their edges, should be removed and replaced. Significant damage is characterized by swelling and delamination of plywood over more than 3o% of the exposed panel edge. We estimate 3o panels meet this criteria now. The remaining panels should have their exposed edges cleaned and resealed with a polyurethane sealant in a dry period. The manufacturer recommends "Simpson Plumb Seal" from Willamette Valley Industries (contact Carey Karskadon 54 Item 2 Decking Fasteners Frequency Critical Immediate / Include in Yearly Inspection Finding It appears that some of the fasteners used (approximately 5o %) were galvanized or stainless steel and show no signs of corrosion. However, many others have corroded and need to be replaced. The original contract documents specified hot dipped galvanized screws. Advanced corrosion will contribute to the deterioration of the plywood in the vicinity of fastener. If this is dealt with promptly, only the fasteners will need to be replaced, otherwise the decking also may need to be repaired or replaced. Recommendation Remove all of the corroded screws, clean out and seal the holes with a polyurethane resin or equivalent. Install new corrosion resistant screws at equivalent spacing not using the same holes as the removed screws. Because of the use of salt on the decks to guard against slipping, we recommend using stainless steel screws as replacements. MBT Architecture Recommended Maintenance & Improvements 8 SOUND TRANSIT Item 3 Sealant Between Deck Panels Frequency Critical Immediate / Include in Yearly Inspection Finding There are areas on the platform where caulking used between the plywood deck panels has started to peal away from the joints. This exposes the joint to moisture ingress and promotes a rapid deterioration of the panels. Recommendation Where caulking has deteriorated, the panel joints should be cleaned and re- caulked. We estimate i,000 LF needs to be replaced. Item 4 Standing Water on Platform Deck Frequency Critical Immediate Finding At the shelters and handicap platforms water is unable to drain off the deck because of walls being in the way. The contractor provided weep holes at the shelters to aid the drainage but this has not worked. There are other places spread out on the platform where there is localized minor puddling of water due to depressions in the decking. Both of these areas are not much of a concern if the non -slip surface and caulking remains intact. Recommendation At the shelters and handicap platforms we recommend providing drainage holes in the deck to remove the standing water. In order to do this we recommend drilling a %z" hole and inserting a 1" long x outside diameter PVC pipe into the hole snugly and sealing it well with caulk. TUKWILA COMMUTER RAIL STATION Recommended Maintenance & Improvements MBT Architecture 9 SOUND TRANSIT TUKWILA COMMUTER RAIL STATION Item Frequency Finding Recommendation MBT Architecture 5 Splitting In Framing Members Perform within 12 Months / Perform Every 3 -4 Years / Include in Yearly Inspection Some splitting of framing members is present in the ticket shelter, pedestrian structure and in some members throughout the platform framing. The splitting does not present a structural problem but if it has occurred after the application of the preservative treatment, the split enables direct access of moisture that will accelerate destruction of the wood. Recommendation Checked and split wood members should be treated with periodic applications of a wood preservative. The first application should be made immediately. Existing splits and checks should be treated every three to four years. New splits and checks should be treated immediately on identification. Item 6 Non Corrosive Resistant Nails Frequency Critical Immediate Finding A large portion (approximately 5o %) of the nails used in the "strong ties" to fasten the joists to the bearers were not galvanized as required by the original contract documents and have begun to corrode. As per the design calculations and original documents only one strong tie (with all the nails in place and showing no signs of corrosion) is required at each end of the joist. The majority of the joists fall into the category of one adequate tie and one inadequate tie (corroded nails). This condition needs no remedial work. Where one tie is provided and either the nails are corroding or are missing, an additional tie (H2.5 or equivalent) must be installed on the other face. Where two ties are provided and both of them are inadequate, one tie must be removed and replaced with a H4 tie (or tie of greater or equivalent ft/f2 capacity with a different nail pat- tern with respect to the H2.5). We estimate that approximately 3o ties need to be replaced in this manner. Recommended Maintenance & Improvements 1 0 SOUND TRANSIT TUKWILA COMMUTER RAIL STATION Item 7 Washout Around Post Footings Frequency Perform within 12 Months / Include in Yearly Inspection Finding The majority of the post footings are buried in the earthen embankment. Many of the post footings have experienced some washout of supporting soil, by as much as 1 foot below the top of the concrete footing. This has occurred as a result of erosion from water runoff and possibly vibration from train traffic. In the current condition this does not present a problem, however more washout may occur and will tend to reduce the lateral and vertical capacity of the footings. Recommendation To guard against further erosion we recommend a non - vegetated erosion control mat (Western Excelsior PP5 or Landlock ECRM 45o) to be rolled out and held in place with spikes underneath the structures. Item 8 Bracing Member Connections Frequency Perform within 12 Months Finding Many of the 2" x 6" lateral bracing members, providing lateral support to the deck in the short direction of the platform, are misaligned with respect to the post and joist to which they attach. In some cases the bracing members were bent to accomplish alignment. This has resulted in a separation in the connection at either end of the brace. The separation at the connection renders these braces ineffective in resisting lateral forces. Recommendation The misaligned diagonal braces should be repositioned so that the connection to both the post and the joist is as per design intent. This typically entails rearranging the brace so that contact surfaces are parallel. See drawing SK -S -o2 in appendix for more detail. Where this cannot be done, a single bolted connection (capacity equal or greater than original) can be used. In this case the gap between the post and brace will need to be shimmed such that the bolt is not subjected to bending. The bolt shank should not be exposed for more than half the bolt diameter. Additionally, the shim will need to be fastened to the post using the nail group specified for the original connection. MBT Architecture Recommended Maintenance & Improvements Separation 11 SOUND TRANSIT TUKWILA COMMUTER RAIL STATION Item 9 Post Supports for Mini - High Frequency Perform within 12 Months Finding The posts supporting the Mini -High platforms, used for wheelchair access, are Through bolts fastened directly to the plywood decking without any blocking. As a consequence, to underside of the post support is very flexible and is not capable of resisting the 5o Ib /ft design plywood deck. lateral load on the handrail. This is as much a serviceability /comfort issue as it is No blocking. a strength issue. The original construction documents do not call for blocking for these posts. Recommendation The handrail post attachments to the plywood deck, at the mini - highs, should be strengthened. 2" X 8" treated blocking (or equivalent) should be provided under the plywood decking to stiffen the post base connection. The blocking should be fastened to the adjacent joists. This will necessitate the replacement of the existing bolts with longer bolts that will be fastened through the deck to the underside of the blocking. See drawing SK -S -ol in appendix for more detail. Item 10 Structural Wood Preservation Frequency Perform Every 5 Years Finding Due to the importance of preserving exposed wood it is critical to preserve all wood that comes in direct contact with water or the weather conditions. This is especially true for the wood rim joists on the lower sides of the ramp and platform which receives the majority of the water runoff. Recommendation MBT Architecture All wood that comes into direct contact with water or the ground should be cleaned and receive an application of a water sealer such as Thompson's Water Seal within the first year and then once every 5 years of the life of the station. Recommended Maintenance & Improvements 12 SOUND TRANSIT TUKWILA COMMUTER RAIL STATION Item 11 Clear Vegetation from Wood Surfaces Frequency Critical Immediate / Include in Yearly Inspection Finding There are a number of places where wood comes in contact with vegetation and /or dirt or rocks. This condition speeds up the deterioration of the wood. Recommendation Vegetation should be cleared from areas directly adjacent to (within 12 inches) the timber post footings and other exposed wood surfaces in close proximity to the ground. Item 12 Rusting of Handrails Frequency Perform within 12 Months / Include in Yearly Inspection Finding The handrails at each of the stairs where they are bent and welded to the fence support poles are beginning to show signs of rust. Through a conversation with the construction manager on the project, it was learned that these handrails were painted with " Galvacon." While not a structural concern, handrails are a critical component of code regulations both for exiting and for ADA accessibility. Recommendation At places showing rust strip the existing finish, Galvacon, down to bare metal with sandpaper and a wire brush and reapply Galvacon per manufacturers recommendations.

Currently the roofs look in very good shape with little debris or dirt collected on them. Recommendation Visual inspection and power wash yearly to keep clear of dirt or leaves. Item 14 Condition of Deck Surface Frequency Action Not Required Now / Include in Yearly Inspection Finding The product for the ramp and platform decks is Simpson "Tuf -Tred SkidGuard" which is an exterior -grade plywood with a highly textured, polyglass overlaid face made especially for applications like this. The non -slip surface is in excellent condition with only a few places where the surface is cracked or chipped. According to the manufacturer the surface of this product will last up to 3o of years. The more pressing issue for the deck plywood is the condition of the edges and condition of fasteners. See items 1 & 2 (this section) for more information and recommendations. Recommendation We recommend including this item in the yearly inspection and replacing panels that show significant cracking or chipping of the surface. MBT Architecture Recommended Maintenance & Improvements 14 SOUND TRANSIT TUKWILA COMMUTER RAIL STATION Item 15 Sealant at Edge of Warning Tiles Frequency Perform within 12 Months / Include in Yearly Inspection Finding The tactile warning tiles placed at the edge of the platform have a rather large bead of sealant to enclose the connection to the joist below them. The sealant guards against water and dirt getting to the wood structure underneath the tiles. Generally this sealant looks in good condition, however, in some places this sealant was applied in a sloppy manner and has gaps. Recommendation Replace sealant immediately at those places where coverage is inadequate. Include in yearly visual inspection. Item 76 Cedar Lap Siding at TVM & Passenger Shelters Frequency Perform within 12 Months / Perform Every 5 Years / Include in Yearly Inspection Finding The cedar siding will last much longer than the required io years. The construction manager said that a water sealant was applied to the siding once in place. This should be more than adequate. The only problem we can foresee is one of appearance. There is some mildew in a few places which could become more unsightly as time goes on. Much of the perception, positive or negative, of public spaces such as this is the general condition and appearance of the materials. Recommendation Power wash those places where mildew is present if the physical appearance is important. Otherwise include in yearly inspection and reapply sealant every five years. Recommended Maintenance & Improvements MBT Architecture 15 SOUND TRANSIT TUKWILA COMMUTER RAIL STATION Item 17 Traction Strips on Stair Treads Frequency Action Not Required Now / Include in Yearly Inspection Finding Recommendation Since the strips and nails appear to be holding up well we advise doing nothing at this time and to include the condition of the traction strip and nails in the yearly visual inspection and replace as necessary. Item i8 Non - Corrosion Resistant Nails on Stair Risers Frequency Action Not Required Now / Include in Yearly Inspection Finding All fasteners for this entire wood structure should have been corrosion resistant which as seen in other items this has not always been the case. In the case of the stairs the risers do not get much abuse and are not a structural item, nor could they easily become a tripping hazard. Recommendation MBT Architecture The stair treads have a black non -slip strip to guard against patrons slipping on the slick wood steps. Generally these strips appear in good shape. The strips are fastened to the wood tread by nails which were specified as hot - dipped galvanized, but some of the nails are showing corrosion and are probably not galvanized as required. These nails could become a tripping hazard once subjected to more wear and weather. We recommend doing nothing at this time as the benefit would not justify the cost involved. We do however recommend that these nails and risers be included in the yearly inspection to determine whether or not corrosion is affecting the safety of patrons. Recommended Maintenance & Improvements 16 SOUND TRANSIT TUKWILA COMMUTER RAIL STATION Item Frequency Finding 19 Oil Staining on Fence Underneath Railroad Trestle Perform within 12 Months / Perform Yearly The bottoms of the vinyl slats in the fence below the trestle have become stained from the oil coming off trains. This is similar to the problem identified in item 22. In this case the oil will not affect safety but may begin to degrade the vinyl making the fence more unsightly as it is now stained with oil. Recommendation This is one of those items that affects the visual perception of the station and we recommend cleaning the oil off with an environmentally safe detergent once a year. Item 20 Ice /Frost Buildup on Elevated Ramps & Platforms Frequency Perform as Needed / Include in Yearly Inspection Finding It has been reported to the design team that the wood ramps and platforms can be slippery in frosty or ice conditions. Ice can build up faster here than surrounding on -grade locations because the ramps and platforms are elevated. Recommendation The surveillance company now on site has been salting these surfaces to alleviate the ice buildup. The manufacturer of the deck material advises that rock salt will not harm the surface of the deck and this is their recommended solution. MBT Architecture Recommended Maintenance & Improvements 1 7 SOUND TRANSIT TUKWILA COMMUTER RAIL STATION Item 21 Gap in Wood Asphalt Connection Frequency Critical Immediate / Include in Yearly Inspection Finding ADA ramp on the east side of the station where asphalt joins with the structure is failing and breaking through. An i "+ gap is forming. Recommendation Sawcut and remove 1 -foot minimum width of existing asphalt where i -inch + gap is occurring in asphalt ramp. Replace structural components to support new asphalt being placed as shown in drawing SK -S -3 in appendix. Prior to replacing asphalt pavement, apply a tack coat seal to existing asphalt pavement where cut has been made.. Replace asphalt to match exiting ramp grade. Item 22 Asphalt Cracking Frequency Critical Immediate / Include in Yearly Inspection Finding There is asphalt pavement cracking near the fence posts and other areas around the ramps. This is most likely due to differential settlement of the underlying subgrade materials between the block retaining walls and the existing slopes. Recommendation Follow the WSDOT Standard Specification 5 for crack sealing. Those cracks that are under 3 / -inch should use a rubberized asphalt sealant material. Recommended Maintenance & Improvements MBT Architecture iS SOUND TRANSIT Item 23 Pothole Mitigation Frequency Critical Immediate / Include in Yearly Inspection Finding A fairly sizable pothole has occurred next to an existing power pole / luminaire due to inadequate preparation and compaction of the subgrade materials around the pole. Recommendation Place and compact incidental asphalt concrete pavement per WSDOT Standard Specifications into pothole. TUKWILA COMMUTER RAIL STATION Recommended Maintenance & Improvements Item 24 Vegetation Mitigation Frequency Perform within 12 Months / Include in Yearly Inspection Finding Brush and weeds are encroaching onto parking lot and wheel stops. A bush is growing up through the pavement at the SE corner of the parking lot. Recommendation This can be cleaned up with basic yearly maintenance. This should be done now to stop any potential damage to pavement. Pavement hole can be patched with Incidental ACP. MBT Architecture 19 SOUND TRANSIT TUKWILA COMMUTER RAIL STATION Item 25 Channelization and Parking Lot Striping Frequency Action Not Required Now / Perform Every 5 Years Finding Various pavement markings are cracking and deteriorating due to regular usage. Recommendation Repaint every five years as needed. Item 26 Drainage Culverts Frequency Perform Yearly Finding Off-site storm drain ditches have been known to have problems due to overgrown vegetation. Recommendation Culverts will need to be maintained and cleared of debris annually to prevent potential flooding problems with entry roadway and parking lot areas. MBT Architecture Recommended Maintenance & Improvements 20 SOUND TRANSIT TUKWILA COMMUTER RAIL STATION Item 27 Platform Markings Frequency Perform within 12 months / Perform Every 5 Years Finding "NO LOADING...WITHIN RED AREA" warning markings by tactile strips on the platform are peeling and fading. This item is not related to the longevity of the sta- tion, but is a passenger safety issue. Recommendation New markings will need to be painted within the next one to two years and then every five years thereafter. Item 28 Station Signage Frequency Perform within 12 Months Finding "Tukwila Station" signage is supported by wooden posts place in concrete filled plastic buckets. Recommendation The "Tukwila Station" signs should be placed permanently in the ground in their current locations. MBT Architecture Recommended Maintenance & Improvements 21 SOUND TRANSIT TUKWILA COMMUTER RAIL STATION Item 2 9 Slope Protection Frequency Perform within 12 Months Finding Exposed slopes leading off the tracks will need protection from further soil erosion. Refer to item 7 (this section) for slopes under the platform. Recommendation Hydroseed the exposed slopes and install a i00% polypropylene erosion control blanket per the manufacturers recommendation to prevent further deterioration of the existing slopes leading away from platform. Remove any deleterious materials or leftover construction debris for optimal slope strengthening. Item 30 Overhead Conductor Splices Frequency Action Not Required Now / Include in Yearly Inspection Finding The splices that occur at each pole have been protected from weather by electrical tape (from the engineer's field investigation). Changes in temperature could impact the quality of this splice over time. Recommendation Observe the splices that occur at each light pole each spring. Assess the splice durability, effects from weather, re -work splice if warranted. MBT Architecture Recommended Maintenance & Improvements 22 SOUND TRANSIT TUKWILA COMMUTER RAIL STATION Item Frequency Finding Recommendation MBT Architecture 31 Overhead Wiring Connectors Action Not Required Now / Include in Yearly Inspection The connectors secure the conductors to the messenger wire at consistent intervals to prevent loose conductors and unnecessary strain on splices. Recommendation Observe the connectors each spring. If conductors hanging loose from the messenger wire, provide new connectors evenly spaced to prevent unnecessary strain on splices. Item 32 Pedestrian Lights Under Bridge Frequency Critical Immediate / Perform Semi - Annually Finding Fixtures are being soiled from the grease from the railroad tracks above. Clean fixtures with an environmentally safe detergent to prevent light output reduction under the bridge. Another option is to install a new/ different type of light fixture that is hooded to protect the tense from getting dirty. We recommend the "Light from SLI or SL3" from Kim Lighting shown in appendix. Recommended Maintenance & Improvements 23 SOUND TRANSIT TUKWILA COMMUTER RAIL STATION Item 33 As -Built Issues, Fixture Types Frequency Perform within 12 Months Finding The light fixture at the TVM station and the fixture just north of the TVM station were on during the walk through which occurred at 3pm, daylight hours, indicating these fixtures are not being controlled via the time clock system per the construction documents. The result, the fixtures are on when it is not necessary, which doubles the frequency of lamp replacement and energy consumption. Recommendation Route the circuits via lighting contactor as designated on construction documents. MBT Architecture Recommended Maintenance & Improvements 24 SOUND TRANSIT TUKWILA COMMUTER RAIL STATION Feasibility of Additional Shelters Feasibility of Additional Shelters The platforms and existing passenger shelters located on the platforms were designed so that additional shelters could be added to the station very eas- ily. The structure for the shelter, including the post foundations, floor, wall and roof framing can be added anywhere along the back edge of the platforms where there is io feet of depth before interfering with other structures. These additional shelters therefore may be placed at any location along the platforms south of the existing shelters. Additional shelters may be placed at the very north portion of the platforms (next to the stairs) with slight modifications to reduce the depth of the shelter. The north location is preferable because it is closer to the mini -high platform as well as closer to the majority of parking spaces and passenger traffic patterns. However, construction costs for this location may be higher due to limited access for heavy machinery. We have es- timated the cost per additional shelter to range between $13,000 and $18,000 depending on location and access issues. Please refer to the site plan on page 7 for possible locations, as well as, drawings SK -S -4 through 9 in the appendix for structural drawings showing how the addition would be added. MBT Architecture 25 SOUND TRANSIT TUKWILA COMMUTER RAIL STATION MBT Architecture Cost Estimate Introduction Cost Estimate This section includes the estimate for the recommended maintenance and improvements, the estimate for rebuilding the temporary station to last 10 years, and the estimate for an additional shelter. The estimate below for the recommended maintenance and improvements is arrived at estimating the cost of each item and then spreading the cost of the work over the 10 years of additional life expectancy per the frequency identified for each item. The first page lists the items and the costs they will incur each year. The cost each year is escalated by 3% per year. Year 10 is assumed to be the year the station is torn down and therefore no maintenance items are to be accomplished that year. This estimate needs to be qualified for the following reasons: 1. The quantities shown are general estimates made at the time of the site inspections and are not exact detailed quantities but are logical extrapolations. Actual quantities may vary when a detailed survey is done. 2. We have allowed for each item to be performed independently from other items. It has been assumed that the contractor undertaking each item will have all areas accessible to them. 3. Due to the nature of the work we have used half days and days to assess the amount of labor involved with each item. 4. Pricing assumes competitive bidding for every portion of the work. 5. This estimate is probable construction cost based on industry practice, pro- fessional experience and qualifications, and represents our best judgment as professional construction consultants familiar with the construction industry. 6. We have excluded the following: yearly inspection costs and associated de- sign fees, and hazardous material handling, disposal and abatement. 7. We have assumed that there will be no labor premium or shift work. 26 SOUND TRANSIT TUKWILA COMMUTER RAIL STATION RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE & IMPROVEMENTS Year Year Year Year Year Year Year Year Year Immediate 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Item 1: Plywood Deck Edges 12,485 14,358 Item 2: Decking Fasteners 28,800 Item 3: Sealant Between Deck Panels 3,600 Item 4: Standing Water on Platform Deck 720 Item 5: Splitting in Framing Members 1,483 1,613 1,742 Item 6: Non -

Accordingly, stormwater detention will be in Tukwila's ownership and maintenance responsibility. Wetland mitigation will be in Renton's ownership and maintenance responsibility. The new SW27 /Strander Blvd. roadway will be owned and maintained by each city within its political boundaries. 6. COST SHARING — Phase I This section provides for the sharing of costs by the two parties for the purpose of performing the planning, design, appraisals, acquisition of necessary property, and construction of improvements to the SW 27 Street/Strander Blvd. Extension Project between West Valley Highway (SR -181) and Oakesdale Ave. SW. The project as described above has two phases, shown in Attachment 2: Phase I includes all the ROW, road construction, retention of a Longacres Way access through the railroad embankment, and relocation of the UPRR tracks (including utility relocation); Phase II includes the construction of the bridge itself (overcrossing), and access to the bridge including the main approaches. It is anticipated that the parties will move ahead with Phase I with the costs shown in Attachment 1. Attachment 1 is illustrative in the sense that it includes some actual costs and grants and also estimated future expenditures and potential additional grants. The final cost table would likely be different than the attachment included in the agreement in 2007. The following applies to Phase I: 6.1 For the purpose of this project, "local funding" shall mean the value of city funds (including mitigation fees used for the project), construction of any part of the project by other entities as part of mitigation requirements, city-owned property, and present value of ongoing and future operation and maintenance costs (including staff costs) for any created wetlands and storm water facilities contributed to the project, exclusive of funds contributed by grants, project funding partners, and costs of city staff, materials, and equipment contributed to the project. 6.2 Tukwila and Renton agree to contribute 50% of the local funding needed to plan, design, permit and build the portion of the Strander Blvd /SW 27 Street Extension Transportation Improvement project between and including the intersections with West Valley Highway and Oakesdale Ave. SW. Tukwila's contribution to the Strander Blvd. /SW 27t Street project shall Job No. A00084 4P: \PUBWORKS \PROJECTS\A - RW & RS Projects \86rw03 strndr ext \Tukwila - Strander ILA v 2 with PEH.doc Lynn Miranda - Tukwila - Strander ILA v 2 with PEH.doc 5 include a credit of $262,622 which is the difference between Tukwila's contribution and Renton's contribution to the South 180"' Street Improvement project. In addition, Tukwila's contribution will include, as part of its local share, the entire city owned property to the south of the future Strander Blvd /SW27th Street. Bridge (approximately 5.5 acres). The value of this contribution will be determined through a fair market value appraisal which will be completed by December 31, 2007. Appraisals will also determine the fair market values of the various properties which involved in the securing of the new UPRR Right of Way. North of Longacres Way, Tukwila will provide UPRR with the new right of way for the track relocation and receive the vacated right of way from UPRR. South of Strander Blvd., Tukwila will convey the necessary right of way to UPRR for the track relocation within the 5.5 acres owned by the city and which are credited in full value toward Tukwila's cost share. All credit will be applied to the project before any additional funds are required to be paid by Tukwila. 6.3 The parties agree to proceed on the basis of the projected revenues and expenditures shown in Attachment 1. The parties agree that their maximum respective local share will be $4.5 million each (including values of land). The parties must both agree to any bid award for Phase I whereby the net local share for each exceeds the $4.5 million local share projected in Attachment 1. Failure of a party to agree to a bid award which exceeds the $4.5 million local share per party shall suspend the project until the parties are able to secure more funding, or agree to a higher local share than $4.5 million. 6.4 The parties agree that no later than January, 2009, Tukwila will pay Renton an amount of money which will achieve an even 50/50 split of all previous expenditures made by Renton for the project as shown on Attachment 1 6.5 Subsequent to the physical completion of Phase I of the project, Renton and Tukwila will review the amount of local funding each party has applied to the project and determine final, reconciled local funding numbers. Renton and Tukwila shall share these numbers, along with backup proof or substantiation of these numbers as requested by the other city. 6.6 In addition to the foregoing funding to be provided to the Project by Tukwila, Tukwila will pay Renton for those requested construction changes if they are betterment changes that significantly change the scope of work of the approved construction plans. Tukwila will not be responsible for the costs of change orders that are due to unknown field conditions or design problems that are identified during the project construction.

The design of such a bridge shall include design features of a "gateway character" in the amount of $500,000, equally shared by each party. Either party shall have the right to exceed its stated contribution toward these special design features as long as the timing or the content of such features does not impact the cost of the basic bridge. 7.2 The parties agree to make a best effort to program $2.5 million each toward the $21 -25 million estimated cost of the bridge in the 2009 -2015 respective Transportation Improvement Programs (TIP's). The exact timing of programming these amounts in the TIP will be done so as to ensure a local match for additional external funding to be sought for the bridge. However, any decision to proceed on any aspect of the bridge will require an amendment to this agreement. 7.3 The parties may agree to include some of the bridge approach costs as part of the Phase I project if such opportunities present themselves, and if the costs of these improvements do not change the local share as shown in Attachment A.

Condition Completion Date & Comments Decision on Substantive Permit: The City Council has determined, following an open record hearing, that the application for an unclassified use permit does comply with applicable City and state code requirements and has approved the extension of the application, subject to the following three conditions, until December 31, 2012, based on the findings and conclusions contained in the staff report. 1. For the next five years until the permanent station is open and operational: Until December 31, 2012 a. Sound Transit shall provide the DCD Director with parking utilization counts for the Tukwila Station parking lot on a bi- annual basis. The schedule and methods for these counts shall be subject to approval by the DCD Director. If at any time during this period the number of parked vehicles is equal to or exceeds 95% of existing capacity, Sound Transit shall identify and implement, as soon as practically possible, and at its sole cost, effective mitigation measures. 1. When can we expect the first count? Since the counts are required bi- annually, ST should do one in January and one in June /July. b. In the event that the City of Tukwila or Sound Transit receive complaints from property owners or tenants regarding spillover parking by station patrons in nearby parking areas, Sound Transit shall identify and implement, as soon as practically possible, and at its sole cost, effective mitigation measures. c. Any mitigation measure implemented pursuant to these conditions must be acceptable to the DCD Director, and may include those measures identified by Sound Transit through its comprehensive analysis of system wide parking strategies in the System Access and Parking Committee process anticipated to occur in 2008, including reducing parking demand through such methods as coordinating transit service improvements and vanshares; providing additional bicycle parking; increasing parking supply by using the adjacent vacant lot owned by Sound Transit as temporary parking; or obtaining temporary shared parking agreements for overflow parking with nearby property owners. d. Sound Transit shall provide City Council updates twice a year on the status of planning, construction and funding for the permanent station. The updates will be scheduled to coincide with design, engineering, and construction milestones for the permanent station project, and will also include a summary of maintenance that has occurred at the station and updates on ridership and service changes. Based on the workprogram for the design of the permanent station, please give me some tentative dates (e.g., a particular month) that you'd like to give an update to the Council. 2. Within 90 days of approval of the UUP, the following list of improvements and coordination must be completed by Sound Transit: March 10, 2008 a. Install slip- resistant surfaces on ramps and stairs, to reduce slippery surfaces. Please notify the City when improvements are completed. Lynn Miranda - Conditions Matrix ST Compliance.xls Sound Transit UUP conditions of approval Page * 1 b. Install a handrail on each side of each access ramp. c. Install an emergency call -box in a location to be determined by Sound Transit. Please notify the City when improvements are completed. d. Install signage that provides the station address and contact information for emergencies. e. Provide two benches for southbound passengers on the western track. f. Upgrade or replace the guard shelter to provide more windows that allow for better surveillance of the site. 3. Within 180 days of approval of the UUP, the following list of improvements andJune coordination must be completed by Sound Transit: 8, 2008 a. Replace and install station identification signage in a manner not requiring the sign posts to be installed in buckets of concrete. Signs - If the station identification sign is to be located in Tukwila (i.e., within the BNSF ROW or points further west), it will require a sign permit and compliance with sign standards, Chapter 19 of the City's Municipal Code. A sign permit typically takes 2 -3 days to approve. I don't know what kind of compliance Renton would require if the sign were to be within their jurisdiction. The two signs (one in parking lot, one on platform) identifying the temporary nature of the station & discussing the permanent station do NOT need a sign permit from Tukwila if they are not discernable from the public right of way, adjacent properties, or adjacent businesses. We DO want to work with you on the design and content of these signs, so please build sufficient time into your overall timeline for completion. How do you want to approach establishing a meeting between ST, Metro & City staff? b. Install two signs that inform the public as to the temporary nature of the station, provides an update on the status of the permanent station, invites them to participate in the design process, and provides project contact information. Each sign shall be installed in a visible and highly trafficked location; one in the parking lot and one on the station platform. c. Meet with Metro transit planners and Tukwila Public Works and Department of Community Development staff to discuss short -term and long -term coordination of transit to and from the temporary commuter rail station. (Any change to Metro service requires King County approval.) d. Provide an additional ten bicycle storage units in order to accommodate the current wait list for bicycle parking. We would like to discuss with you alternatives to siting new units on existing parking spaces. 4. All actions implemented pursuant to the above conditions must be acceptable to the DCD Director. Time frames may be modified by the DCD Director upon showing good cause. Lynn Miranda Conditions Matrix, ,ST Compliance.xls Page 2 Lynn Miranda - Conditions Matrix Compliance.xls Page 3j 5. Sound Transit shall replace the existing temporary artwork by September 30, 2008. Sound Transit and the City shall define the artist selection and review process. Sound Transit shall explore using the installation as both an art piece and a shelter from wind and rain. Sept. 30, 2008 I've got a call into Bruce Fletcher to see how he wants to handle installing new artwork - whether he wants to use the Arts Commission or just staff. P11 let you know. SOUNDTRANSIT August 10, 2007 • • Minnie Dhaliwal Department of Community Development City of Tukwila 6300 Southcenter Boulevard Tukwila, WA 98188 Subject: Unclassified Use Permit Sound Transit Tukwila Temporary Commuter Rail Station Dear Ms. Dhaliwal: On behalf of Sound Transit, I am submitting the enclosed application for an Unclassified Use Permit (UUP) for the continued operation of the existing, permitted Sounder temporary commuter rail station. The temporary station exists as a result of agreements with the cities of Renton and Tukwila, dating from 2002, to postpone construction of the permanent station for up to 10 years in order to respond to the City of Renton's Strander Boulevard project and the City of Tukwila's Urban Center planning. The temporary station was permitted in 2000 and completed in 2002. The existing permit extension expires on December 31, 2007. Sound Transit requests that the City of Tukwila permit the temporary sta! io tlu December, 2012 by which time construction the permanent station should be complete. Existing temporary commuter rail station: The platforms at Sounder's temporary Tukwila Commuter Rail Station are located within the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad (BNSF) right -of -way south of Longacres Way, a private road. The park- and -ride lot, transit boarding facility, and bus stops are east of the platform on the Boeing Long acres site, within the City of Renton. Ile station : o:I:.i: <::; primarily of two 600 foot long passenger platforms. There is one wheelchair accessible ramp at the north end of each platform. Benches, trash receptacles and canopy shelters are provided on each platform. Ticket vending machines and other passenger information are located at the northwest corner of the parking area. Pedestrian connection from the park and ride on the east side of the station to the southbound platform on west side of the track is made by way of the Longacres Way underpass. Stairs and ramps connect the platform to the ground level 200 -space parking lot, bus transit area and pedestrian ways. Sounder provides service of three trains each way scheduled as follows: Northbound: Southbound: Additional trains are 6:24 a.ni.; 6:59; 7:20; and 7:42 4:36 p.m.; 5:01; 5:26; and 5:56 scheduled to begin this fall: R C IVE SEP 1 1 2007 D E V ° ELO IAg N T Central Puget Sound Regional Transit Authority • Union Station 401 S Jackson St , Seattle, WA 98104 -2826 • Reception: (206) 398 -5000 • FAX (206) 398 -5499 • www soundtransit org BOARD CHAIR John W.Ladenburg Pierce County Executive BOARD VICE CHAIRS Connie Marshall Bellevue Councilmember Mark Olson Everett Councilmember BOARD MEMBERS Julie Anderson Tacoma Councilmember Mary -Alyce Burleigh Kirkland Councilmember Fred Butler Issaquah Deputy Council Preside; Dow Constantine King County Councilmember .

Coordination with the cities of Tukwila and Renton: Around the time Sound Transit was completing design of original station in 2000, the City of Tukwila requested that Sound Transit stop design to allow for coordination with the urban center planning that the City had begun. Sound Transit agreed and submitted a UUP for construction of the temporary station. A September 2002 King County Superior Court Settlement between Sound Transit and the City of Renton included the requirements to extend the use of the temporary station for up to 10 years (through 2012) to allow Renton to design and secure funding for the Strander Boulevard extension project. In the winter of 2004 Sound Transit requested an extension of the UUP through the winter of 2007 with the potential for yearly extensions through 2012. At that time, Sound Transit communicated that design and construction would take a number of years given the need to redesign the station and coordinate with the Strander Boulevard project. The City granted an extension through December of 2007, but required the Sound Transit re-apply for further permitting of the temporary station. The extension also required Sound Transit to construct two additional passenger shelters. The construction of both shelters has been completed. Tukwila completed the Urban Center planning and Renton completed 30% design of the Strander Boulevard extension in spring 2005. Renton's concept required the relocation of the Union Pacific railroad to be adjacent to the BNSF right -of- way, and anticipated that construction would start in early 2007 and continue through 2008. In April, 2005 Sound Transit, the City of Renton and the City of Tukwila agreed to a design approach based on the Strander Boulevard design and the Tukwila Urban Center plan. Sound Transit hired KPFF to complete a refined preliminary engineering report based on that design approach. The City of Tukwila and Renton participated on the Executive Steering Committee that helped define the design and direction for project phasing. The design costs more than is available in Sound Move however ST2, if passed, contains funding for full construction. KPFF completed their report in early 2007. Although Renton has not begun construction and still must clear a number of hurdles to implementing the Strander project, they have made significant progress. Sound Transit is now ready to proceed to the next phases of design 2 • • • while the City of Renton continues their efforts resolve issues concerning the relocation of the Union Pacific railroad right -of -way. Schedule for design and construction of the permanent commuter rail station: Sound Transit is entering into contract for Preliminary Engineering and Environmental Documentation (PE /ED) that will advance the design of all elements through 30 %. Tukwila and Renton will again participate through the Executive Steering Committee in the decisions on phasing final design and construction package. The priority established during preliminary engineering was to complete construction of the permanent station platform. The phasing will reflect the additional budget if ST2 passes and the status of the Strander Boulevard extension project. Final design would take approximately 12 months. Following a 4 month bidding period, construction of the permanent station, or an initial phase, will range from 14 to 24 months.

The documentation and determinations include the following: NEPA: An Environmental Assessment (June 1998) and FONSI (Finding of No Significant Impact, June 10, 1998 by the Federal Transit Administration); SEPA: SEPA Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS), June 1998 by Sound Transit. The initial application and staff report for the Unclassified Use Permit and extension cited the NEPA Environmental Assessment (EA). The NEPA EA was adopted for SEPA compliance as a Mitigated DNS. No substantial changes have been made to either the structures or use of the temporary facility since the City approved those permits. Sound Transit prepared the NEPA Environmental Assessment to meet the Federal requirements for the project. It includes analysis of potential environmental impacts for a permanent commuter rail station. The scope of the existing temporary station is within the range of impacts evaluated for the permanent station. Additionally, the temporary station makes use of an existing paved parking lot rather than constructing a new one. The existing permit extension expires on December 31, 2007. In response to the City of Tukwila Urban Center planning and The City of Renton's Strander Boulevard extension project, Sound Transit agreed to revise the initial station design and delay its construction. Sound Transit is currently entering into contract for Preliminary Engineering and Environmental Documentation. This work is anticipated to include an updated NEPA Environmental Assessment to reflect the work undertaken to coordinate with Tukwila's Urban Center Plan and Renton's Strander Boulevard extension project.

A written description of the project consistency with the decision criteria is attached. 14. No reports are required. • REVIEW CRITERIA City Council approval of an Unclassified Use Application is based on nine (9) criteria (TMC 18.66.060) and a determination that the project is consistent with the Tukwila Comprehensive Plan (TMC 18.100.030). The City Council may approve the project as proposed, establish conditions on the project approval, or deny the project. Please discuss development consistency with the nine (9) decision criteria presented below. Use additional pages as needed. Please consult the Comprehensive Plan for policies related to your development. Note that more than one category of policies may apply. CRITERIA FOR UNCLASSIFIED USES (TMC 18.66. 060) 1. Where appropriate and feasible, all facilities shall be undergrounded. 2. The proposed use will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity. 3. The proposed use shall meet or exceed the same standards for parking, landscaping, yards and other development regulations that are required in the district it will occupy. 4. The proposed development shall be compatible generally with the surrounding land uses. 5. The proposed development shall to the maximum extent feasible be consistent with and promote the goals, objectives, and policies of the Comprehensive Land Use Policy Plan and applicable adopted area plans. 6. The proposed unclassified use shall, to the maximum extent feasible, mitigate all significant adverse environmental impacts on public and private properties. Full consideration shall be given to: a. alternative locations and /or routes that reduce or eliminate adverse impacts; and b. alternative designs that reduce or eliminate adverse impacts. 7. In the event that a proposed essential public facility of a countywide or statewide nature creates an unavoidable significant adverse environmental or economic impact on the community, compensatory mitigation shall be required. Compensatory mitigation shall include public amenities, incentives or other public benefits which offset otherwise unmitigated adverse impacts of the essential public facility. Where appropriate, compensatory mitigation shall be provided as close to the affected area as possible. 8. For uses in residential areas, applicants shall demonstrate that there is no reasonable nonresidential alternative site for the use. 9. For uses in residential areas, applicants shall demonstrate that the use provides some tangible benefit for the neighborhood. P:\ Planning Forms\ Applications\ UU PApp- 12- 06.doc December 4, 2006 • Unclassified Use Permit Review Criteria • • 1. Where appropriate and feasible, all facilities shall be underground. Sound Move, the regional transportation plan, shows the use of existing heavy rail tracks, which are above ground, for commuter rail services. The existing use, and one for which this permit is request, is a temporary commuter rail station located adjacent to existing Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railroad lines. The temporary station was constructed under permit following the City granting an Unclassified Use Permit to Sound Transit. It is not desirable or feasible to grade the lines to create a temporary underground commuter rail station. 2. The proposed use will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity. The access to the adjoining vacant lots is secured by chain link fences thus reducing any potential security issues. Special provisions are also in place so that aid and fire equipment can transverse the gate on Boeing property at any time. Also Sound Transit has security guards at the station for 16 hours (5:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.) each day the train operates. These provisions were put in place at the time the temporary station was constructed. In response to user feedback, Sound Transit installed two additional shelters and additional maintenance to ensure weather protection and safe footing. Sound Transit commissioned a longevity study in 2003 and a maintenance plan, to identify the required interventions and maintenance to enable the station to last another 10 years until replaced by the permanent station. Sound Transit Facilities Maintenance Division has followed the reports recommendations and will continue monitoring to ensure proper functioning. The environmental impacts of the station were addressed in Sound Transit Tacoma -to- Seattle Rail Environmental Assessment (Federal Transit Administration and Sound Transit, June 1998). The analysis and conclusions included in the Environmental Assessment are summarized below. Socioeconomic. The commuter rail station would operate on existing tracks. No existing uses would be displaced by the proposal. The proposed action would not involve significant adverse impacts on the populations protected by Executive order 12898, Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low - Income Populations. Based on the socioeconomic analysis, the proposed commuter rail station has the potential to provide mobility benefits to transit- dependent populations, while reducing household costs. Transportation. Traffic increases associated with commuter rail travel to the station would be limited to morning and evening commute hours. West Valley Highway, located west of the proposed station site, is a principal north -south arterial connecting directly to 1-405. Vehicles would enter the station primarily via Longacres Way. Operation of the station would not cause levels of service to change from projected future baseline 1 conditions; intersection -by- intersection analysis results are summarized below and discussed in more detail in the Environmental Assessment (EA). The intersections of Longacres Way /West Valley Highway, Stander Boulevard/West Valley Highway and Lind Ave /SW 16` Street are expected to operate at acceptable LOS D or better during the 1997, 1010 baseline and 2010 proposed action p.m. peak hour traffic conditions. The intersection of Fort Dent Road/West Valley Highway is operating at LOS E under existing conditions and would continue to operate at this level under the proposed action. The intersection of Grady Way /West Valley Highway and South 180` Street /West Valley Highway are operation at LOS F under existing conditions and would continue to operate at this level under the proposed action. The intersection of Lind Avenue /Grady Way is operating at LOS D under existing conditions, and is expected to fall to LOS E both under 2010 future baseline and proposed action. The intersections of Oaksdale Avenue /SW 16` Street and Oaksdale Avenue /Grady Way currently operated at LOS B and C respectively. The 2010 baseline and proposed action levels of service are projected to fall to LOS E for the Oaksdale /SW 16` Street intersection and LOS F for the Oaksdale /Grady intersection. Noise. The proposed commuter rail station in not expected to cause noise or vibration annoyance. Potential sources of noise and ground -borne would include idling locomotives, feeder bus traffic and increased automobile traffic on adjacent roadways. Measures will be taken to control vibration along the commuter route, which will operate at first between Tacoma and Seattle; these include rail grinding, wheel truing, wheel flat detectors systems, and vehicle reconditioning programs. Hazardous Materials. No contaminated sites included on the Washington State LUSTT, UST and CSCS lists, or in the federal EPA database occur on the proposed site, and the operation of the station will not increase the risk of contamination. Biological Resources. The proposed station has been cleared and graded in the fairly recent past, and is currently vacant. No significant biological resources will be affected by the construction or operation of the station. Historical, Park and Recreational Resources. No properties listed under or eligible for listing under the National Register of Historic Properties and the Washington Heritage register are located on or in the vicinity of the proposed station. No parks or recreation facilities would be directly displaced by the proposed use and no significant impacts to park and recreation resources located in the vicinity of the station site are anticipated. Cultural Resources. No potentially significant cultural resources were identified during field reconnaissance and no archaeological sites are recorded in the project area. If archaeological material is encountered during the proposed project construction, work should be halted and the Office of Archaeological and Historic Preservation are to be consulted to determine the appropriate follow -up. 2 • • • • • • Visual Quality. The station platforms would add some visual diversity but would have little effect on the visual resources of the area. The station is expected to improve the appearance of the site by replacing unkempt open space. Safety and Security. The proposed station has been designed to promote safety and security. Potential commuter rail safety and security issues include safe operational interface between all transportation modes as, well as passenger safety and security aboard buses and trains, at transit stations, and in adjacent areas. Pedestrians would use the existing undercrossing, thus avoiding the need too cross tracks at grade. Passenger security both off and on the train has been incorporated into the proposed project. The design allows for ease of surveillance for police and patrol cars. The shelters will be well lighted, well maintained, and patrolled by local police and transit security force. Air Quality. The air quality impacts of the proposed use were evaluated as part of the planning process, in close cooperation with the Puget Sound Air Pollution Control Agency (PSAPCA). The evaluation of air quality impacts indicate that corridor level emissions of carbon monoxide and particulate matter would be reduced under the proposed action relative to the 2010 baseline condition. Emissions of hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen would be slightly higher, due to the addition of commuter rail locomotives. Water Quality. The nominal impacts to water quality at the proposed site are primarily related to associated erosion and contaminate transport during construction. Earth. The proposed project will involve minimal earthwork (i.e. grading) for construction. Re- establishment of vegetation in non paved cleared areas, as soon as possible and application of appropriate ground cover would be used to minimize the potential of erosion hazards during operation. 3. The proposed use shall meet or exceed the same standards for parking, landscaping, yards and other development regulations that are required in the district it will occupy. The only facilities located in Tukwila are wholly within the BNSF right -of -way. The existing 200 -plus space parking lot in Renton has reached capacity. Parking counts performed by security indicate that occupancy climbs from approximately 170 during the AM boardings to approximately 205 by 4 PM. Tukwila has approximately 2.4 more passengers getting off in the morning than getting on and similar opposite ratio in the evening; indicating that the station is a destination rather than origin of riders. The lot is approximately 213` full when the security guard leaves at 9PM. The afternoon increase in parking appears be associated with people returning to the station and leaving their cars (and RideShare vans). The combination of riders getting on and off at the same time creates a difficult parking management issue. The master plan calls for 350 stalls. As lots become full along the Sounder line, Sound Transit is evaluating a number of options including adding additional parking, better coordinating with feeder bus routes and parking management. Adequate access and lighting of the access were the minimum 3 standards required at the time of approval. Also, improvements on Longacres Way in the form of drop -off areas were constructed. 4. The proposed development shall be compatible with surrounding land uses. The site is within Tukwila's Urban Center however there are no existing uses within the immediate vicinity. The area to the north, east and south is undeveloped portions of the Boeing Longacres facility. The site to the northwest is proposed for multifamily development but permits have lapsed. Sound transit owns to parcels to the west of the station that will be developed as the permanent station location. The Master Plan for the permanent commuter rail station was developed considering surrounding infrastructure improvements and development potential. The designers will continue to consider the potential for surrounding development during the next phases of design. 5. The proposed development shall to the maximum extent feasible be consistent with and promote the goals, objectives, and policies of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and applicable adopted area plans. The Comprehensive Plan describes the City's intent to support a high- density, regionally oriented, mixed use center in Tukwila. The Comprehensive Plan generally supports commuter rail in the Urban Center to "help ensure Tukwila's long -term economic viability and competitiveness in the region." The Plan's Urban Center Goal 10.3 Transportation and Circulation, expresses the City's intent to "work with transit providers to develop and fund regional park -and -ride and rail locations where traffic and visual impacts on the Tukwila Urban center are minimized through site design and management." (Goal 10.3.1) Similarly, Goal 10.3.3 Transit service and Facilities support promoting "the development and enhancement of transit service and facilities." The proposed commuter rail station is consistent with these goals. While the location of the existing rail lines fix the station location at the east edge of the Urban Center, its presence will help the urban center maintain a regional orientation and provide transportation infrastructure for continued growth. Its visual impacts are minimal, and traffic impacts result in no changes to the forecast baseline conditions. 6. The unclassified use shall, to the maximum extent feasible, mitigate all significant adverse environmental impacts on public health and private properties. Full consideration shall be given to: (a) alternative locations and /or routes that reduce or eliminate adverse impacts; and (b) alternative designs that reduce and /or eliminate adverse impacts. There are minimal alternatives for locating a commuter rail station within the City of Tukwila to serve the City's Urban Center, the preferred location for transit service to the City. Longacres Way, although private, is the only safe access to the BNSF rail line south of I -405 and north of S. 180 St because of the existence of the UPRR underpass. The City of Renton plans to extend Strander Blvd across the BNSF and UPRR tracks; however funding for the improvements has yet to be secured. The station is designed to be temporary until a permanent station is designed and constructed. The permanent station will respond to the City of Tukwila's Urban Center Plan and the City of Renton's Strander Boulevard extension project. Sound Transit 4 • • • • • provided additional passenger shelters in response to previous UUP permit reviews. No additional improvements are proposed at this time, thus there are no alternative locations or designs that could reduce significant adverse impacts. 7. In the event that a proposed essential public facility of a countywide or statewide nature creates an unavoidable significant adverse environmental or economic impact on the community, compensatory mitigation shall be required. Compensatory mitigation shall include public amenities, incentives or other public benefits which offset otherwise unmitigated adverse impacts of the essential public facility. Where appropriate, compensatory mitigation shall be provided as close to the affected area as possible. No additional adverse environmental or economic impacts on the community are anticipated as a result of continued operation of the temporary commuter rail station. 8. For uses in residential areas, applicants shall demonstrate that there is no reasonable non - residential alternative site for their use. See the response to question 6 above. The site did not initially allow residential uses, however during the City of Tukwila's Urban Center planning process the City decided to allow residential uses adjacent to the commuter rail station. 9. For uses in residential areas, applicants shall show that the use provides some tangible benefit for the neighborhood. The site will provide convenient commuter rail access to nearby residents and workers. 5 • • Site Plan 15. As -built drawings of the existing facilities are provided.
