INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Community Affairs and Parks Committee
FROM: Rick Still, Parks & Recreation Director
BY: Robert Eaton, Parks & Recreation Manager
CC: Mayor Ekberg
DATE: November 9, 2016
SUBJECT: Resolution Accepting Land Donation
ISSUE
Land donation at intersection of South 128th Street and 37th Avenue South
BACKGROUND
In 2015, the City was approached by a family wishing to donate a parcel of land, approximately
16,250 square feet (0.37 acres). The land is heavily vegetated with several mature trees and an
intersection point for two tributaries of the Riverton Creek merging into one (maps attached).
This item was presented to both the Park Commission and Community Affairs and Parks
Committee last year. The Committee authorized staff to proceed with this and bring it back when
details are finalized along with a draft resolution to work through the full council process.
After completion of the details for accepting the land donation this item was discussed at the
October 12, 2016 Park Commission meeting and the Commission unanimously supported
recommending the acceptance of this land donation to the City Council.
DISCUSSION
The location of the land is along South 128th St. and 37th Ave S. and has potential to become a
restored site with improvements made to the Riverton Creek area. The Parks, Recreation and
Open Space Plan recommends the City "Continue to seek opportunities for open space acquisition
to increase land /trail connectivity, access to recreation areas and land conservation functions."
If the land donation is accepted an initial vegetation management plan would need to be
performed. The site would be categorized as a Service Level 4, "Open Space" in the Parks
Maintenance Service Levels plan and therefore would require very minimal annual maintenance.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Approximately $10,000 includes Phase 1 Environmental Survey (completed) and vegetation
management on site funded through the 2017 P &R CIP Land Acquisition budget after title transfer.
RECOMMENDATION
The Committee is being asked to approve the draft resolution and consider this item at the
November 28, 2016 Committee of the Whole and December 5, 2016 Regular City Council
Meetings.
