Beginning at 1:30PM, guided tours of the building will leave from the main lobby every 10 minutes. Tukwila citizens are invited to come and check out this new multipurpose center, which will serve as "home base" for the -Recreation Department's programs as well as the Human Services office. /For more details about the types offacilities, reservation procedures and fees, please read the section out the new Community Center on pages 4 & 5.) A special brochure about rental spaces and fees can be mailed free to those seeking more rental information. It will be available at the February 1 dedication and during the first week of full center operation starting February 3rd. Project completion thus far includes the building, parking area and surrounding landscape. In the spring, work will proceed on a multi -use tennis court, basketball court, softball field and full-size soccer field. Total cost for the new community center, equipment and playfields is about $9,150,000. To pay for most of the construction costs, the Council authorized the selling of bonds, which will be paid for out of general City funds for 20 years. The building is expected to serve citizens far into the 21st century. Come enjoy the new Center - it's here to serve YOU! You are invited to the Grand Opening of the NEW Tukwila Community Center Dedication Ceremonies, Reception and Guided Tours Saturday, February 1 — 1:00-3:OOPM at 12424 - 42nd Avenue S. Recent Hazelnut articles have described the many programs and actions being taken by City government, citizens and busi- nesses to improve the Highway 99 area. Citizen patrols, the Neighborhood Resource Center, clean-up activities by the High- way 99 Action Committee, in- creased police patrols, and video surveillance of high -crime areas send the message that the com- munity cares and will work together to make this area a safe place to live and work. Council considers changing the rules for some of City's commercial signs The City Council is currently considering options for reducing the dominance and clutter of commercial signage along Highway 99 and in other parts of Tukwila. Before annexation to the City, several of Tukwila's commercial areas were developed under outdated King County land use and sign control laws. A plan to change commercial signage The Tukwila Planning Commission has recommended that a sign "amortiza- tion" program be adopted to phase out signs erected under the old rules which don't meet current requirements. Commercial signage would have to be brought into conformance with the City's more modern rules (the rules that have applied to the Southcenter area since 1982) within several years. Tukwila Tomorrow — a citizens' group who helped develop the City's new Comprehensive Plan — recommended that the City "reduce the number and size of commercial signs", a concept endorsed with the adoption of the Tukwila Comprehensive Land Use Plan in 1995. SeaTac and Federal Way, concerned with business signs managed under old King County rules, have already adopted sign amortization programs. Other actions are being undertaken or planned to improve the image and appearance of the Highway 99 commercial area. Reconstruction of the highway, elimination of overhead power lines, installation of sidewalks and attractive streetscaping, and better design guidelines for new development will make the corridor a safer, better place to live and do business. Looking at impacts and options Amortization places a burden on many businesses, who would be required to remove or modify their signs at their own expense. Having heard from several business owners who are concerned about the cost and the reduction of advertising "exposure", the City Council will investigate ways to reduce the adverse impacts of sign amortization in the coming weeks. Options include allowing a longer "phase-out" period; waiving sign -related City permit fees; or abandoning the sign amortization idea altogether. If you would like more information on this topic, please call Steve Lancaster or Nora Gierloff at 431-3670. If you wish to let the City Council know how you feel about sign amortization, leave a message with Council Analyst Lucy Lauterbach at 433-1834, or speak with any of your Council members. Adult Entertainment clarification - petition signatures solicited This fall, the City Council passed additional regulations affecting adult entertainment es- tablishments. These rules dictate the dis- tance that must be maintained between danc- ers and patrons of the establishment. A petition drive has been undertaken, on behalf of the adult clubs in the City, to use the referendum process to ask voters to overturn the new restrictions. Petition signatures have been sought outside of local businesses in- cluding Larry's Market, Bartell Drugs, and the McMicken Heights Safeway store. If you are approached to sign ANY petition, be very careful to read the petition title and be sure of what you are signing. If you feel you have signed the Adult Cabaret petition in error, you may ask that your signature be removed by writing to: Citizens for Artistic Expression P.O. Box 16864 Tukwila, WA 98188 Since the petitions have been submitted to the City, you should also forward a copy of your request to the Tukwila City Clerk. Questions regarding this matter may be re- ferred to the Mayor's Office at 433-1850. Book about Tukwila's past makes interesting reading "Tukwila - Community at the Crossroads" is the City's own history book, generously illus- trated, which covers the area's history from the first Duwamish Valley settlers to our current position as a crossroads of commerce.

(Due to state regulations, the sale of fireworks will not be illegal until 1998.) > The City's 1997 budget was adopted ensuring the best City services we can provide (especially with regard to public safety), while maintaining and improving our streets, parks, golf course and utilities. > Animal control regulations were tightened up, including requiring owners to control their pets, and adding a "pooper scooper" requirement. > Business licensing regulations were changed to allow the license suspension of those businesses which willfully violate City ordinances, helping us curb illegal activities. > A teen curfew was approved and is in effect, setting limits on the hours teens can be out without a specific purpose )and permission to be out. > With Highway 99 as a major focus, the Council: • authorized the purchase and installation of cameras on the highway to monitor and deter crime. • approved hiring additional police officers to exclusively patrol this area. • worked with the Planning Commission developing new standards for the highway such as number of street 1996 brought flurries of legislation, too lanes, parking, and design requirements for new devel- opments. > Enterprise Development Zones were established to en- courage property redevelopment on Highway 99 and elsewhere. > Illegal activity occurring in an adult entertainment club brought about a new ordinance to regulate those activities which were leading to the criminal acts. It is this law which the adult entertainment industry is campaigning to over- turn through a referendum process. > In the area of land use, major revisions include the proce- dures for permit applications, public notice, hearings and appeals; these changes comply with new state laws, stream- line the processes, and promote public participation. 1996 capital improvements enhancing Tukwila's residential quality of life include water lines in Ryan Hill, the beginning of sewer and new water lines in Allentown, a new community center and fire station, and several street improvements. Work continued on 42nd Avenue S., and 32nd Avenue S. was improved. Sidewalks and street trees are being added in the central business district, and the Interurban Trail was ex- tended from I-405 north to meet the Green River Trail. East Marginal Way is also currently being improved. And finally, the Council would like to thank all those citizens, both residents and businesses, who are working to make Tukwila an even better city. Planning Commission examines parking, subdivision regulations Tukwila is re- vising its off-street parking and loading requirements, in response to state requirements and local conditions in the City's business community. Pro- posed revisions include adoption of park- ing standards for senior citizen housing; revising the way required parking is 'tculated; new minimum standards for retail, warehousing and manufacturing uses; and the creation of guidelines to review requests to reduce minimum parking requirements. Copies of the draft ordinance maybe obtained through JANUARY 1997 Michael Jenkins in the Department of Community Development, at 433-7142. The City is also updating the subdivision regulations, which specify requirements for boundary line adjustments, short plats and subdivision approval. Changes are proposed to the processes, standards and organization of the code. Some of the more significant changes include increasing the number of lots allowed in a short plat from 4 to 9, establishing regulations for boundary line adjust- ments, and modifying the standards for roadway and right-of-way widths. Con- tact John Jimerson at 431-3663. The Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on these proposals at 7:OOPM on Thursday, January 23, 1997, in the Council Chambers at City Hall. Call Michael or John to obtain further information.

Why does it matter? Lids and tops on glass and plastic bottles and jars can create havoc during the recycling process. When glass s melted down for recycling, it's very important that the glass be pure. Metal lids and tops that get in with the glass can ruin a load, even break down a furnace! Plastic tops and lids can spoil a recycling load, too. They're made with plastic different from the containers, and melt at a different temperature. Remember to remove lids and tops from plastic and glass containers. Lids are "contaminants" that belong in the garbage. Thanks for your help! Region's wine bottles to be washed and refilled With 89 wineries in the state, Washington ranks second in the production of premium wines in the United States. Fifty million glass wine bottles are filled annually in Washington. State residents consume approximately half, while idents in King County consume ten million bottles of wine each year. Because ere are limited recycling markets for these ten million green glass bottles, an innovative plan was devised to reuse these bottles rather than dispose of them. The wine bottle pilot project was designed by the non-profit Institute for Washington's Future, and is funded by the King County Solid Waste Division. The Institute has rented a warehouse and hired staff to collect and sort bottles from local restaurants. The bottles are shipped to a bottle washing facility where they are sterilized. The bottles are then sold to Washington State wineries where they are refilled and reused. Currently 18 large restaurants and hotels in King County have been given special containers for the collection of their wine bottles. The benefits of reusing wine bottles: • Wine bottle generators (restaurants, hotels, catering services) save money on disposal or recycling costs. • Wineries pay less for the sterilized, reused bottles that for new bottles. • Jobs are created. • Local landfill space and natural resources are conserved.

We can help you remove your address from those pesky advertising lists and reduce the amount of waste that needs to be recycled in the first place. For a free "Junk Mail Reduction" kit, contact the Tukwila Recycling Program. JANUARY 1997 DID YOU KNOW? / Recycled paper has an ancient history. The first paper, which was invented in China in 105 A.D., was made from rags and old fishing nets, as well as hemp and China grass. 1 Making a ton of paper (approximately 400 reams) from 100% recyclable paper rather than virgin fiber saves an equivalent of 17 trees. 1 More than a million tons of debris from the Northridge, California earth- quake was recycled. You don't need a quake to recycle demolition or con- struction debris locally. Call 296- 8480 to find out more. 1 Weyerhaeuser buys and recycles some of the 1.2 million tons of undeliver- able and discarded mail that the Postal Service is stuck with each year. Even- tually, undeliverable mail will be re- cycled from all 35,000 U.S. post of- fices. (See "Reduce Junk Mail in 1997" below.)
