DATE: February 7, 2018
SUBJECT: Foster Golf Links Bridge Naming
ISSUE
Naming of an existing bridge at the Foster Golf Links located at 13500 Interurban
Avenue South
BACKGROUND
On August 22, 2017 the Parks & Recreation Department received a letter from the
Foster Golf Links' Men's and Women's Clubs requesting the bridge located between the
11th and 16th holes at the golf course be named in honor of the longtime previous
owners of the course that sold it to the city. Joe Aliment worked at the course from 1924
— 1951, when he and his wife Hazel then purchased the course. After owning and
operating the course for 27 years they sold it to the City of Tukwila in 1978 rather than
to developers. They wanted to preserve the green space and desired that it continue to
be a place where Tukwila residents could congregate and enjoy the game of golf.
DISCUSSION
City Council Resolution 1400 addresses the process for naming City property. For
facilities within the Parks & Recreation Department, the names shall be recommended
by the Park Commission to the Community Development and Neighborhoods
Committee. The following unranked criteria is used to guide the naming decision:
1. Geographical location
2. Historical considerations
3. Names of persons
4. Geological features
5. City identity and image
Where persons' names are used. they should be people who have made an outstanding
contribution to the community, or whose names are of historical significance to the area,
or who the City would like to recognize as an important influence in the area.
The Park Commission discussed this at the November 8, 2017 meeting and voted
unanimously in recommending the name "Joe and Hazel Aliment Memorial Bridge" as
requested by the Foster Golf Links Men's and Women's Clubs and forwarding the
recommendation to the Community Development and Neighborhoods Committee for
consideration.

RECOMMENDATION
The Committee is being asked to consider naming the bridge located between the 11th
and 16th holes at Foster Golf Links, "Joe and Hazel Aliment Memorial Bridge" in honor
of their outstanding and influential contribution to the City of Tukwila and forwarding to

Rick Still
Director of Parks and Recreation
City of Tukwila
Dear Mr. Still,
The Foster Golf Links Men's Club and the Foster Golf Links Women's Club would like the City of Tukwila to
officially name the bridge that spans the Duwamish River between the 10th and 11th greens the "Joe and
Hazel Aliment Memorial Bridge". Joe Aliment started working at Foster Golf Links in 1924 and continued
working there until 1951. In that year, Joe and his wife Hazel purchased the course and owned it until
1978. They then sold it to the city instead of to developers with the idea that it would continue to be a
place where Tukwila residents could congregate and enjoy the game of golf. Joe and Hazel were generous
and especially supportive of youth. To give you an idea of the type of people they were, kids in the
community would go to the golf course at 5 o'clock in the morning and sweep the parking lot. Then Joe
would hand out golf clubs and the kids could play golf all day. Joe and Hazel were very involved with the
community and one of their sons even became a Tukwila city council member. As a tribute to the
contributions Joe and Hazel Aliment made to the Tukwila community, we are asking you to name this
bridge for them.

Links Bilisiness
THE task of moving, watering and
I maintaining 89 acres of lawn, trees
and shrubs might seem monumental to
most home owners.
But it is the way of life for the Aliment
family, Joe, Hazel and their two sons,
Ben and Bill, who own a tidy -sized piece of
recreational real-estate known as Foster
Golf Links.
January 1, 195I, marked the day when
the Aliments called this land their own.
But Joe, slightly stocky and easy going,
remembers 43 years ago, when employed
by George Eddy, a golf professional, he
helped pioneer Foster, one of the first
privately owned, publicly played, links
west of the Mississippi.
Joseph Foster, a government scout and
packer, in 1853 homesteaded the land, on
the outskirts of Seattle, near Tukwila.
A maple tree, planted by him less than a
decade after the Civil War, remains on the
property and on its huge trunk is fastened
a bronze memorial plaque inscribed with
historical data.
Eddy purchased the land from the Fos-
ter heir, and young Joe Aliment, at 18,
caddied for Washington's Gov. Louis F.
Hart, who was first on the tee February
13, 1925, the opening day for the nine -hole
golf course.
Reliving high-school graduation day the
same year, Aliment says:
"I had gone directly from school to
. work. As I stepped off the interurban, Ed-
dy wheeled a mower in front of me, and
then and there promoted me from bag
toter to greenskeeper."
The sinewy teen-ager spent hours lug-
ging a hose and wheeling a gas -powered
pump to each fairway bordered by the Du-
wamish River.
He further recalled that this job brought
him out in the "wee hours." Revealing his
droll humor, he said: •
"The only company I had at 3 and 4
o'clock in the morning was the third -rail
interurban that passed Foster on its run
from Renton to Tacoma."'
in those days, some folk considered a
golf course a risky business. However, it
wa_s_under the eyes of-�'doubting Thom-
ases" that Eddy's venture grew and, with
the acquisition in 1927 of more land across
the Duwamish River, the course was ex-
tended to 18 holes.
At this time, the old Scottish word
"links" became the fit and proper- descrip-
tion of Foster,' as the term in the ancient
language meant "the winding of a stream;
also the ground adjacent."
Few changes have been made in the
layout of the playing area since that time
and, although Foster's 5,549 yards is not'
rated championship length, what it lacks
in distance is compensated by the hazards
imposed by the twisting waterway.
Both Joe and Hazel remember Eddy
affectionately.
"Mr. Eddy gave us the house near the
river, by the 17th tee, for a token mort-
By MARY A. MIZE
gage of SI." .foe says. "It was while living
in this home, in 1933, that Foster suffered a
devastating blow.
It rained the entire month of December
that year, and by Christmas Eve, the flood-
ing Duwamish River had belched unbe-
lievable quantities of debris on the course.
Fairways, tees and greens along its path
were strewn with logs, pitted with holes
and saturated with water and muck. The
bridge that connected five holes of the
course with the rest of civilization was
threatened with destruction.
Mrs. Aliment, small -framed and- fastidi-
ously groomed, makes "no bones" about
her fright when she reminisced about the
harrowing night Joe went to work on the
bridge.
"I pleaded with Joe," she recalls, "that
if the bridge is going to go, let it go. But
no, he needed to try to help prevent the
bridge from being smashed."
"I kept track. of his flashlight beam,
but was terrified when it disappeared
abruptly. I screamed and shrieked, but
no sound could be heard above the rage of
the river. I was drenched and scared.
There was nothing I could do, but go back
to the house and wait. I tried not to think
he was dead."
Joe, explained his fears, saying:
"I spent most of the night reaching out
to hack branches and snags from logs as
they swept by to keep them from collaps-
ing the bridge. 1 grabbed sleep, when I
could, on the roof of a shack on the far
side of the river. I knew my wife would
be frantic,- but the bridge held up all
right. However, by the time we felt that
it was safe, the river was threatening our
house. Hazel and Benny had to he rowed to
safety."
The Duwamish devoured unknown acres
of land that winter. Shoveling'silt, filling
holes, replacing tees and replanting greens
consumed weeks. Slowly the course took
shape again; nevertheless, Foster was not
reopened for business until the following
spring, and then, for only nine holes of
play.
During the summer of 1934, the ex -caddy
recalls that the repair work continued and
Eddy had truck loads of old auto bodies
hauled in and spread along the mangled
river banks. The metal wrecks were the
cheapest answer to end further erosion.
"It only cost him S2 a load, and that
price included the driver's wages," Joe
says.
Valley residents, for years plagued by
ravaging.rivers, received permanent bene-
fits from the Howard A..Hanson flood -
control dam, completed in 1961.
During World War II years, Joe under-
took a 10 -hour day job at a foundry, con-
tinued as greenskeeper and began learn- -.

ing links management from within the
clubhouse.
"People continued to play during the
war," he said. "Because the war imposed
gas rationing, it was not uncommon for a
car to arrive loaded down with half a
dozen undaunted golfers."
Ben Aliment, now the links pro, remem-
bers:
"In postwar years, the golf business
lagged. Things really picked up when Mr.•
Eisenhower was elected President. Folks
that never had played before were im-
pressed by his interest in the game. Tele-
vision, too, helped golf.
The machinery needed to maintain to-
day's golf course dwarfs the rigs with
which the senior Aliment was provided in
his greens -keeping days.
"We have four fairway -mowing units,
three greens - mowers, three heavy-duty
tractors and two machines known as the
'leaf blower' and the 'leaf picker'," Ben
says.
"One year, we lost about 75 flags in a
period of four months. Most of them were
stolen, but some were broken. We've dis-
covered kids using them for fishing
spears."
In addition to some- 50,000 -golfers that
annual trek over Foster, it is not unusual
to see steelhead fishermen angling in the
Duwamish and teen-agers retrieving golf
balls from' the water hazards.
Other non-paying guests have included
ducks, rabbits, squirrels, cows, horses,
deer and, as recently as late 1966, a seal,
which now resides at the Woodland Park
Zoo.
Jovial Bill Aliment, also a Foster pro
and an ex -councilman of Tukwila, remem-
bers when he joined a woman in chasing
a steer on the course.
"The steer wheeled and ran me into the
river," Bill recalled.
In the clubhouse, the congeniality of all
the Aliments blends with the pro and duf-
fer. There golf stories mingle with tales
of pars, birdies, eagles and bogies. In this
atmosphere, and not withstanding the
score, everyone feels like a golfer.

INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Community Development & Neighborhoods Committee
FROM: Rick Still, Parks & Recreation Director
BY: Warren Orr, PGA Professional Foster Golf Links
CC: Mayor Ekberg
DATE: February 13, 2018
SUBJECT: Golf Green Fees Update
ISSUE
Resolution and Ordinance to amend Green Fees at Foster Golf Links.
BACKGROUND
Green Fees at Foster Golf Links (FGL) were last increased in 2016 by way of Resolution 1877 and
are referenced in the TMC Chapter 12.12 "Foster Golf Links Fees" as adopted by Ordinance 1990.
DISCUSSION
To maintain proper price points, stimulate growth, and work towards revenue goals, staff is
recommending an update to the green fees at FGL. Based on the survey conducted by FGL
staff (attachment A), staff is proposing a modest fee increase as shown in draft Resolution
(attachment B).
Additionally, there are a few housekeeping revisions that need to be made to the TMC Chapter
12.12. "Foster Golf Links Fees" as well. Attachment C is the draft Ordinance that includes the
updates to the TMC Chapter 12.12 and repeals the existing Ordinance 1990.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
If play in 2018 were equal to the average for the past two years (2016-2017), it is anticipated
that the green fees increase would yield an estimated $40,000 in additional revenue to meet the
targeted revenue.
RECOMMENDATION
The Council Committee is being asked to consider forwarding this item to the Consent Agenda at
the March 5, 2018 Regular Meeting.

INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Community Development and Neighborhoods Committee
FROM: Nora Gierloff, Deputy Director, Department of Community Development
BY: Carol Lumb, Senior Planner
CC: Mayor Ekberg
DATE: February 21, 2018
SUBJECT: Update of TMC 18.06. Definitions and TMC 18.54. Tree Regulations
ISSUE
Additional revisions to the draft tree regulations under consideration by the Committee and
contained in the binder provided to Committee members.
BACKGROUND
The Community Development and Neighborhoods Committee began its review of revisions to
urban forestry and landscaping definitions, found in TMC 18.06, and revisions to TMC 18.54,
Tree Regulations, at its meeting on February 13, 2018. Staff continued to review the materials
that were provided to the Committee and has identified several additional changes/corrections
and a new Whereas clause that are needed.
DISCUSSION
Staff is recommending the following additional changes to the draft tree regulations, or the
Whereas clauses as follows below. An explanation is provided after the proposed change.
I. 18.54.020 Scope
This chapter sets forth rules and regulations to control clearing of trees within the City of
Tukwila, except for removal of trees governed by TMC Chapter 18.44, "Shoreline Overlay.;"
18.45,
"Er' rt !!y S, ;+; Ar �d Ch pter Q 52 "' r,dsccpe
Related to the above revision, the following new Whereas clause is recommended:
WHEREAS, this chapter is intended to apply to the sensitive areas otherwise regulated
by TMC chapter 18.45 until such time as the sensitive area regulations are amended to
explicitly provide for tree protection in sensitive areas within that chapter; and
Staff comments: We expected that there would be revisions forwarded to the Council adding
specific tree regulations to the Sensitive Area Ordinance, found in TMC 18.45, close to when
the Council would be considering changes to the City's overall tree regulations. As a result, the
draft tree regulations, as proposed, did not apply to Environmentally Sensitive Areas.
Unfortunately, the changes to the environmental regulations are not ready for Council review, so
it is necessary to have TMC 18.54 continue to apply to sensitive areas until such time as the
environmental regulations are updated. The proposed change noted above also requires the
addition of a new Whereas clause that acknowledges that TMC 18.54 will continue to apply to
sensitive areas until such time as the SAO is updated to include explicit tree protection
regulations.

We are also requesting to strike the reference to TMC Chapter 18.52, Landscaping, as that
chapter requires applicants who are retaining significant trees on-site to utilize the tree
protection standards found in TMC 18.54.

Staff Comments: In reviewing the "Permit Required" section, we determined that the
guidance on when a Qualified Tree Professional Report is needed should be located in the
Permit Submittal Requirements section, TMC 18.54.040, rather than where it is currently
located in the draft regulations. Staff recommends deleting TMC 18.54.030 D. and inserting
similar language in TMC 18.54.040 A., as identified below.

unless otherwise stated in this chapter. or when the Director -determines that tree clearing,
site clearing or work within the CRZ may result in adverse impacts requiring remedial
measures. A Qualified Tree Professional report is not required for the permitted removal of
trees. other than Heritage Trees, on a lot zoned Low Density Residential and improved with
a single-family dwelling. Third party review of the report or recommendation may be
reauired. The report or recommendation shall address the following:
a. The anticipated effects of proposed construction or tree removal on the
viability of Significant Trees to remain on-site;
b. Recommendations on replacement trees, spacing and maintenance of
proposed replacement trees once installed;
c. Post -construction site inspection and evaluation; and
d. Estimated cost of maintenance of replacement trees for the purposes of
calculation of financial assurance, if required.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
No financial impact.
RECOMMENDATION

hearing.

INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Community Development and Neighborhoods Committee
FROM: Jack Pace, DCD Director
BY: Minnie Dhaliwal, Planning Supervisor
CC: Mayor Ekberg
DATE: February 21, 2018
SUBJECT: Foster High School Reader Board
ISSUE
Response to public comment about the Foster High School sign.
BACKGROUND
The Foster High School reader board is a 14.5 foot tall pole sign with an electronically
changeable face. It became non -conforming with the adoption of the 2010 Sign Code which only
allows monument or wall signs. In residential zones the height limit of signs is 5 feet and the
maximum area is 30 square feet per face with a total of 60 square feet. The Foster High School
reader board is slightly larger than allowed, with a face of 36 square feet.
The decision to stop allowing construction of pole signs was a key recommendation of the Sign
Code Advisory Committee which was comprised of representatives from the City Council,
Planning Commission, Tukwila residents and business community. There was extensive public
outreach during this update process.
DISCUSSION
The sign is in a 10 -year grace period, however immediate compliance was triggered under TMC
19.36.040 C 2 when the site went through design review. The remodel/expansion of Foster High
School received design review approval in June 2017. The District applied for a sign variance to
the Hearing Examiner (L17-0028) but asked that the application be put on hold when notified
that planning staff could not recommend approval because it did not meet the variance criteria
at TMC 19.28.030.
The request has not gone to the hearing examiner and no denial has been issued. Staff has
offered options such as removing the sign from the pole and converting it to a monument sign or
installing it on the building as a wall sign.
Governments may not regulate sign content or make special provisions for particular uses
(Reed vs. Town of Gilbert), so while the City may amend the sign code any changes would
apply to all signs in residential zones.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
None
RECOMMENDATION
Information Only.
