HomeMy WebLinkAbout1994-09 Hazelnut Newsletter - Volume 15 No. 4A City of Tukwila publication for our residential and business community VOLUME 15, NUMBER 4 SEPTEMBER 1994 Tukwila will hold public meetings to discuss plans for residential areas without sewers There are seven residential areas and two commercial areas within Tukwila's city limits that do not have sewers (see map below). The commercial areas are undeveloped and will have sewers pro- vided when development occurs. The residential areas have existing develop- ment, plus continuing new develop- ment in the form of short plats and new home construction. Large lots are being 'ivided up into smaller lots, leading to Lne eventual need for sewers. The City Council Utilities Committee and City administration have developed a sewer design plan and construction policies for these residential areas. Public input is being sought to proceed with finalizing the plan and adoption. DUWAMISH ALLENTOWN RYAN HILL Two public meetings will be held, where residents in the unsewered areas are invited to discuss this subject: Wednesday - Sept 14, 1994 S:•OO to 8:00 p.m. Tukwila Community Center 4101 South 131st Street Monday - Sept 26, 1994 7.•00 p.m. Council Chambers, City Hall 6200 Southcenter Blvd. This meeting will be in a workshop format, so that interested citizens can drop by anytime during the evening, and City staff can provide information about the proposed Sewer Plan as well as answering your individual specific questions. Information packets will be avail- able at the meeting and in City Hall. A City Council Public Hearing will be held to obtain public comment on the Plan and sewer policies. Adoption of the Plan will result in preparing sewer designs for the seven areas and planning a schedule of construction. Costs of the sewers, priority of construction, and other details will be available at the September 14 meeting and presented at the September 26 Public Hearing. Please plan to attend one or both of these meetings. FOSTER POINT RIVERVIEW SOUTH CITY TRUNK LINE] kk I ft Ira 111110N y �� I 51ST AVENUE Look inside for: • Comprehensive Plan • "Summer of Safety" • Code Enforcement DUWAMISH QUARRY RIVERTON CREST VISTA "Summer of Safety" produces positive results in our community The City of Tukwila and its 11 Volun- teers In Service To America (VISTAs) have had a very productive summer. A Teen Safety Team focused its efforts primarily in the 12-20 age range, and created projects in the evening for teens to support safe, fun activities for all those involved. The Apartment Out- reach Team's activities were concerned primarily with the apartment commu- nity in Tukwila, creating and staffing projects to educate, enrich, and em- power the residents of Tukwila's apart- ment community. The Community Oriented Policing Team worked with the Tukwila Police Department to pro- mote a stronger link between the resi- dents of Tukwila and the City. The teams go to work During the summer the teams worked on various projects to promote the theme of this year's VISTA project: Summer of Safety. The Teen Safety Team devel- oped and analyzed a teen survey to find out the interests of the teens in the area. They also orchestrated a Late -Night Fri- day Program which gave the teens a safe place to socialize and have fun, and to promote anti -violence options. As their final project, they hosted a concert/ dance/barbecue on August 13. The Apartment Outreach Team spon- sored a variety of activities, including the Safe Saturday Program, Community Councils and their Family Field Day on August 13. For Safe Saturdays, collabo- ration between the Parks and Recre- ation Department, King County Ambu- lance, King County Library, Tukwila Police Explorers and Fire Explorers helped to bring supervised activities for children in some apartment complexes. The CommunityOriented PolicingTeam worked primarily on two objectives: creating, distributing, and evaluating the results of a survey designed to deter- mine community concerns; and or- chestrating an event to bring the community together and promote public safety. The event was called "National Night Out Against Crime", and took place on August 2 at the Church By the Side of the Road. An estimate of 200+ people attended the free barbecue and candlelight procession. During the first part of August the team, along with community vol - Neighbors enjoy Night Out Against Crime BBQ unteers, also cleaned up graffiti. Lunches for children Finally, the Summer Sack Lunch Pro- gram, a project jointly sponsored by the City and the South Central School Dis- trict, provided free lunches to children under age eighteen. By the end of the program approximately 6,000 lunches were served. The VISTAs worked with the Parks and Recreation Department to staff the project, and maintained lunch sites at Thorndyke Elementary School, Duwamish Park, Tukwila Elementary, Tukwila City Park, Cascade View El- ementary, Joseph Foster Memorial Park, and Crystal Springs Park. Daily, sites served anywhere from 5 to 100 chil- dren, and provided one more positive link between the City of Tukwila and its residents. The VISTA teams would like to thank Tukwila Rotary Club, The Apartment Manager's Network, Church By the Side of the Road, Target, Godfather's Pizza, Gai's Bakery, McDonald's, Bernie and Boys, Tony Roma's, Wendy's, Red Robin, Denny's, and Larry's Market for their support and encouragement of these worthwhile projects. The donations these sponsors gave show both their dedication to the community and their understanding of their importance in making a difference in Tukwila. Thanks!

A Comprehensive Plan is a guide for a community's future — like a road map. It has goals and policies for the orderly and coordinated growth of a city. It anticipates change and gives specific guidelines for future decisions. Just as you may be planning for your retirement's financial and physical needs, Tukwila and the region are planning so that you and your children will want to continue to live, work and shop here. Tukwila's final plan will be the product of citizen input, staff analysis, and the judgment of the Tukwila's Planning Commission and City Council. Why did we need a new one? T+ -has been 20 years — with lots of big 1anges — since Tukwila took an in- depth look at its future. Through an- nexations, the City has doubled in size from 4 to 8 square miles, and the night- time population has more than tripled. These changes need to be discussed in our Comprehensive Plan. Tukwila's SEPTEMBER 1994 • Come to an Open House This is an informal meeting to see and talk about what's been written, with the Planning Commission and City staff available to answer your questions. Plan will be the major tool to continue our economic growth, environment, and sense of who we are as a community. How did we come up with the draft? It was written by 16 Tukwila citizens and property owners — the "Tukwila Tomorrow" committee — that began in 1992 to set a direction for what the City should look like in the next 20 years. Taking ideas gotten from Tukwila resi- dents at the "Vision Tukwila" commu- nity meetings, the proposed direction was stated in goals and policies which are now available for public comment. They also produced a Zoning Map to show where zoning may change for some properties. Tukwila Tomorrow gave the Plan and Zoning Map to the Planning Commis- sion. The Commission will review the Plan and Map and send a version to the City Council. A decision on the final version will be made by the Council. How do I get involved? The Tukwila Planning Commission and City Council will hold open houses and public hearings to hear from you. The Planning Commission has scheduled the meetings listed below. Once the City Council receives the Planning Commission's recommendation, a schedule of the Council's meetings will be published.

For the most part, your neighbors are friendly and cooperative and share your attitudes about home and yard upkeep. You are content living where you are. But in your neighborhood... However, three houses down the street, the story is somewhat different. From the looks of the back yard, it appears the occupants don't own a lawn mower, but they do have several cars parked where grass once grew in the front yard. It also seems that they do not have any garbage pickup because debris is rapidly piling up by the side of the house. You have to drive past this house every day as you leave for work and return home, and you mutter and shake your head as you go by, wishing something could be done. This, unfortunately, is not an uncommon condition in many of our Tukwila neighborhoods. Violations of various City codes relating to the storage of inop- erable vehicles, disposal of de- bris, the general upkeep of lawns, and removal of unman- ageable weeds such as black- berries continue to be evident throughout the City. So what can be done about this? Give us a call are often given several weeks to make necessary corrections- and orrectionsand improvements following the City's receipt of a complaint. If weeks go by and you feel too much time has passed with nothing being done to correct the problems you see, call again and let us know you're still not satisfied. Looking for trouble? To end a common rumor about the Code Enforcement Office, the Code Enforcement Officer does not roam throughout the city looking for areas of trouble. He does not drive his van up and down city streets taking pictures of homes and possible violations. But when com- plaints are brought to the atten- tion of the Mayor's Office through citizen referrals or the observations of business own- ers or City employees, steps are taken to immediately investi- gate the areas of concern. So if you spot the van in your neigh- borhood, it is there because a Request for Action has beet, initiated. ar Th: �d e Of course, prehistoric neighborhoods always had that one family whose front yard was strewn with old mammoth remains. Reprinted from the American Association of Code Enforcement newsletter Should you wish to report a code violation, it's as simple as picking up your phone, dialing 431-3682 between the hours of 8:30 and 5:00, and reporting what you see around your neighborhood. You can even choose to remain anonymous if you wish. Your complaint will then be entered as a Request For Action through the Mayor's Office, and will be investi- gated by the Code Enforcement Officer. If justified, appropri- ate action will be taken to attempt to get the violating property owner to comply with City codes as soon as possible. But please be patient — the Office of Code Enforcement has received and processed over 178 complaints from the period January through July of this year. Many complaints take months to resolve due to complications. Unless the violation involves an immediate life safety or public health issue, owners 4 Experience has shown that the best working code compliance system is actually an aware and responsible community whose members practice the art of good citizenship. This means pitching in and helping to keep your neighborhood clean and presentable. If you find your- self on the receiving end of a letter from the Code Enforce- ment Department, take a look around your property through the eyes of your closest neigh- bors. Perhaps from your living room window, you don't have to look at the trash pile you have allowed to collect, so you do not find it particularly offensive. However your neighbor's only view from his newly built and freshly painted deck may be that very pile of debris. We all want to feel good about the areas in which we live. We all want to look up and down our streets and see nice yards, well -kept homes and peaceful neighborhoods. We all want t be able to realize the full value in our homes when the time comes to sell them. The City Code Enforcement Office encourages you to do what you can to make your neighbor- hood a source of pride for all those who live in it.

Many of these people are young and employed. Nearly half of our uninsured work either full or part-time. Another 24% are children. The Washington Basic Health Plan provides health coverage to about 25,000 Washington residents. Families pay reduced monthly premiums for insurance through well-known private providers. The difference between the reduced premium and the actual cost of the health coverage is State subsidized. Recently the Basic Health Plan expanded their enrollment. The plan covers doctor visits, hospital care, lab tests, x-rays, emergency care, ambulance services and preventative care such as immunizations and routine checkups. Prescription drugs are now also covered. Businesses can participate in the program, as well as individuals who make more than twice the federal poverty level. Both groups may purchase Basic Health at the same rate the state pays, plus administrative costs. To get information or to apply for the Basic Health Plan, call 1-800-826-2444.

Approximately $3,200 will be used by the Parks and Recreation program to enhance teen activities. The request for the money came from the South King County Youth Violence committee, a group of city representatives, human service providers and grass-roots community members that have been meeting to share concerns and strategies in addressing youth violence throughout South King County. City of Tukwila Participants have included Doug Partlow of the Police Department, and Evelyn Boykan and Karen Wright with the Office of Human Services. 6 Block Grant hearing to be hell On September 12, a public hearing will be held regarding use of Community Development Block Grant Funds (CDBG) for 1995. These funds are allocated to the City on a yearly basis, based on the number of low and moder- ate income residents in the City. The funds can be used to provide or improving housing, for public services/ facilities, improvements to land and natural resources, and for other activi- ties. This past spring, the City determined general guidelines for how policies are going to be used to fund programs for 1995. Throughout the summer sugges- tions were discussed regarding possible ideas. The public hearing, to be held during a City Council meeting, encour- ages residents to comment on proposed ideas or suggest new ones for the follow, ing year. This year, Block Grant funds are being used for the Housing Repair program (for homeowners), for the Senior Pro- gram Nutrition Coordinator, and for a planning project related to housing code activities. If you have any questions regarding the CDBG funds, please call Evelyn in the Office of Human Services at 241-7144. Health insurance for children As of July 1, more children are now eligible for Medicaid health insurance. This state expansion now covers chil- dren whose families earn up to 200% of the federal poverty level. This means that for a family of three, up to $2,054 can be earned monthly to qualify for health coverage. For a family of two the figure is $1,640 a month, and for • family of four the figure is $2,468 a month. This expansion covers children up to the age of 19.

THE HAZELNUT TUKWILA 1111, RE CYCLING REPOR TER Tukwila Community Garage Sale is big success Residents held garage sales at nearly 150 sites all over Tukwila on July 30 and 31. Bright yellow signs marked the sale locations. Several residents reported receiving 100 shoppers. By most accounts, the event was a fun way to encourage people to clean out their homes and keep items out of the landfill. Remember that REUSE is the best form of recycling. If you have usable items left over from your sale, please consider donating them to one of the many worthy charities serving the area. Each of these facilities will provide tax receipts. Residents suggested the following agencies that will put the items to use, or select your favorite.

The City of Tukwila will mail flyers with full details directly to all Tukwila residents. Want more information about recycling or composting in Tukwila? Call Rebecca Fox, Recycling Coordinator, at 431-3683. Recycling is a real picnic End -of -Summer often means outdoor get-togethers, parties and picnics. Un- fortunately, even the most penny-wise, waste -conscious of us can end up really "trashing" the great outdoors and the party's budget. Instead of the mess and expense of the paper plates and polysty- rene cups, why not make your event a minimum -waste extravaganza. Here are a few ideas to get you going. How many more can you come up with? • Host a "BYOPS" (bring your own place setting) party. With each person responsible for really "cleaning up his plate," you can skip the extra -large gar- bage bag. BYOPS will save money, too... perhaps enough for ice cream! • Recycling those cans on site! Bicen- tennial, Crystal Springs, Duwamish, Foster and Tukwila Parks now all have recycling containers for aluminum. • Set boxes or bags out for recycling glass and plastic soda bottles. Recruit a volunteer to take a bag home to include with their own curbside recyclables. Composting demos offered Just in time for autumn leaf raking, we will offer two demonstrations at the Tukwila Compost Demonstration Gar- den, located at the Allentown Pea Patch, 42nd Ave. S. /S. 142nd St. in Tukwila. Worm bins: September 17 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Compost piles: October 22 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Come join volunteer Master Recycler/ Composters, and learn what to do with leaves and non -meat food scraps.
