I. PRESENTATIONS
II. BUSINESSAGENDA
A. Contract: Interurban Avenue South (South 143rd Street to Fort Dent Wayd
Staff is seeking Council approval of a contract with Anchor QEA in the amount of $40,000 for
settlement and mediation support services for the Interurban Avenue South Project. Anchor
provided construction management support for the project. Funds have been budgeted in 2017
for the settlement and staff is expecting the Transportation Improvement Board to cover some
of the contract overruns. MAJORITY APPROVAL. FORWARD TO DECEMBER 12, 2016 SPECIAL
CONSENTAGENDA.
B. Metro Transit Interurban Avenue Park and Ride Lot
Staff provided an update on the request to pursue additional parking for Metro Transit riders
on Interurban Avenue South. At its September 19 meeting, the Committee requested that staff
investigate the possibility of providing parking at Foster Golf Links or at the auxiliary parking
lot formerly used by Metro. In 2015 the City curtailed the use of non - recreational parking at
Foster Golf Links, as golfers and event attendees occasionally fill the entire lot. The auxiliary lot
is still available for lease at the rate of $2,000 per month, but it would require a conditional use
permit with associated application and improvement costs, potentially over $100,000. The
Committee requested input from the City Attorney on the interpretation of the City's zoning
code and asked for a determination of the lowest cost improvement threshold for the City's
conditional use permit. Staff noted that King County Metro is expanding the park and ride
program and will be releasing new information in early 2017. DISCUSSION ONLY.
