safety of the access to the commercial businesses on the northwest comer of 1st Ave. S at S. 312th Street. Two businesses
are located here: a 7-11 store with gas pumps, and a Papa Johns' takeout pizza store. The stores share two driveways on
each street, located immediately adjacent to the comer of the intersection, and 75 feet beyond these, as shown in
Attachment A. Under current code, a new development would be permitted only one driveway on each street, and each
would be restricted to right-in/right-out access only.

POLlCY QUESTION:
Should the City restrict left turns from commercial businesses on 1st Avenue S north of S 312th Street?
BACKGROUND:
A citizen comment before the City Council on March 15, 2005, raised the concern of the safety of the access to the
commercial businesses on the northwest cornier of 1st Avenue S at S 312th Street. Two businesses are located here: a
7-11 store with gas pumps, and a Papa Johns' takeout pizza store. The stores share two driveways on each street,
located immediately adjacent to the comer of the intersection, and 75 feet beyond these, as shown in Attachment A.
Under current code, a new development would be pemùtted only one driveway on each street, and each would be
restricted to right-inlright-out access only.
The collision history demonstrates the highly variable nature of collision expenence in relatively low~volume
conditions, as shown in the table below:
Year Number of Collisions
1997 0
1998 0
1999 4
2000 1
2001 0
2002 1
2003 3
2004 3
Of the twelve reported collisions from 1997 through 2004, only two would not have been preventable by left-turn
restrictions. Nine of the ten involved left turns out of the driveways onto 1 st A venue S. No driveway-related collisions
occurred on SW 312th Street.
The two businesses have been notified by letter that potential access restrictions are under consideration.

II. Should the City market the building now, or wait until the new community center is completed?
Background:
The City purchased KLCC in 1993 for $700,000 to use as an interim community center. It subsequently
invested $780,000 to convert the warehouse facility into a functional community center for a total
investment of$I.48 million. Of this $1.48 million, $400,000 is funded by a Community Development
Block Grant.
I.
Should the City Surplus KLCC?
Although the Council has not taken any official surplus action it the past, it has previously decided to
replace KLCC with a new community center once it is completed. We have also included $800,000
of the sales proceeds from KLCC to be used for development of the new center.
Since funding is needed to complete the new community center, staff recommends that the Council
move forward and take official action declaring KLCC surplus from City needs in the foreseeable
future. Attached is a draft resolution for such a declaration; the City will publicize and conduct a
public hearing of this intent as required by state law.
II. Timing of Marketing:
With the intent of continuing CUlTent recreation programs at KLCC until the new center is completed,
there is a potential timing issue in which the cash flow from its sale is available. At the same time,
investors have a sense of urgency to lock in today's favorable interest rates and snatch up good
investment properties. Because of these considerations, staff believes the City should consider the
timing options in marketing KLCc.
1. Qualitative Comparison:
Option 1: Actively market the building.
Pros:
a. Favorable market conditions: We have had a number of inquiries, consistent with
local brokers' recommendations.
b. The "sale and lease back" is a favorable consideration for investors and can boost the
sales price.
c. Better timing of providing cash flow for the new community center.
Cons:
a. Cost of leasing back.
b. Uncertainty of lease period.
If there is a delay in construction or other unexpected startup issues, it may increase
the required lease terms and cost.
k:\fedrac\2005\O412\klcc.doc
C -/
. .
c. Potential programming impact.
Owner/occupant buyers, which this building is most likely to attract, would likely
want to use the facility as soon as possible after purchase - which may make leasing
back difficult or may require the City to reduce or move its programs to other
temporary facilities.
d. More complex transaction. Sale and lease back is very common in the commercial
real estate market, particularly for investment properties. The complexity would
increase for the purchaser, who will also use the building.
Option 2: Market the building after the new community center is complete and the KLCC is
vacated.
Pros:
a. Will not incur leasing cost.
Assuming the City will lease the building back from July 1, 2005 through March 31,
2007, the leasing cost could be between $150,000 - $200,000.
b. Will not affect programming.
Marketing the building near or after completion of the new community center will
al1ow a smooth transition of programming between facilities.
c. Simple transaction.
The transaction can be a straightforward "as is" sale of the building.
Cons:
a. Uncertain future market conditions.
We know that current market conditions are very favorable in the office market
history. We don't know how the market will be in two years. As a special use
facility, KLCC will be harder to sell in a slow market.
b. Delay in cash flow for the new community center.
While this is an issue, it is not a critical one as the City has the capacity and
authority to make short-tenn interfund loans in order to bridge the timing difference
in cash flow.
2. Financial Comparison:
Hypothetical Comparison of Financial impact on timing of the sales

Amount can be fmanced over 15 years at 5% and 7.5%
$ 85,000
$ 882,271

Projected Proceeds:

Proceeds from Sale of Building
Potential Costs:
Interest Cost for Cash Flow Loan @ 1.75%, 1.75 year

$ 898,021 $ 750,305
(22,978)
(157,500)
$ 740,521 $ 727,327
3. Conclusion:
With the above assumptions, the financial considerations for either market timing are not
significantly different. However, the analysis does not consider the length of time it may take to
sell the building, which could be extended if market conditions change dramatically from today.
The leasing expenses used in the financial analysis may be used to lease the KLCC back from the
new buyer; it may also be used as a funding source to obtain other temporary facilities in order to
k:\fedrac\2005\O4 \ 2\k\cc.doc
(, '-2
. .
continue existing programs. However, this would require more flexibility and coordination from
recreational operations and could still have an impact on programming.
Staff believes it would be advisable to market the KLCC now instead of deferring it until after
the completion of the new community center, because:
1) The programming impact potentially depends on the buyer
2) The City has more control over programming and use of the facility, but no control over the
market.
3) The value of real property is very sensitive to interest rates.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that Council declare the KLCC surplus and begin marketing the building now.
Attachment: KLCC Surplus Resolution.
COMMITTEE ACTION:
Forward staff recommendation to full Council, conduct a public hearing to declare the KLCC surplus at
the'May 3rd regular council meeting, and being marketing the building now.
