CALL TO ORDER The meeting was called to order at 5:30pm. 2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES The minutes of the meeting of August 19, 1996, were approved as presented. 3. PUBLIC COMMENT There was no public comment on items not included in the agenda. 4. BUSINESS ITEMS A. Alport Imyact Study - Fred Stouder, City of Burien City Manager, discussed impacts created by Sea -Tac Airport. He commented that while much of the State of Washington, and the five counties immediately adjacent to the Airport, derive a great benefit from Sea -Tac International Airport the communities in the immediate vicinity of the airport endure the bulk of the negative impacts. The City of Burien was granted money by the 1996 Legislature to study the impacts if a third runway is built. The grant was not intended to stop the runway but to identify mitigation it if it is built. Joe Ganum of SW 322nd Street and Debbie Demaris of 1st Avenue SW commented on how the airport impacts land use and land values. B. Regional Transit Authority/City Position - The Committee considered whether to support the Suburban Cities Association resolution on the Regional Transit Authority. It was decided to take neither action nor position. C. South 324th Street Rehabilitation - It was m/s/c to accept as complete the South 324th Street rehabilitation project. The final cost for the construction is $440,469.17 which is $20,802.52 below the approved contract budget of $461,271.69 including contingency. Council will review acceptance of the project as complete at their September 17, 1996, meeting. D. 1996 Sidewalk Replacement Project Bid Awards - Bids have been received for the 1996 Sidewalk Replacement Project approved by the Committee in June, 1996. In order to assure that the contract is awarded within budget, Schedule C (west side of 21st Avenue Southwest) will be deleted. The Committee m/s/c bid award to Ram Inc. Contractors for construction along South/Southwest 320th Street, north and south sides. As money becomes available, parts of Schedule C will be added back. Council will review and authorize execution of the contract by the City Manager at the September 17, 1996, meeting. E. Dash Pointe Final Plat - The Committee m/s/c the proposal to accept the Dash Pointe Final Plat Approval/Resolution as presented. Dash Pointe is a proposed 32 -lot single family subdivision on 30.7 acres, located between SW 328th and 333rd Streets and between 43rd and 48th Avenues SW, southwest of Lake Lorene. Council will review and approve at the regular September 17, 1996, meeting. F. Legislative Agends - The second draft of the 1997 Legislative Agenda and Position Paper was presented reflecting changes made by Councilmembers during the month of August. The Committee m/s/c approval of the amended Legislative Agenda and moved it to the Council Business Agenda at the regular Council meeting on September 17, 1996. G. Shared Funding Commitment Program/Funding for Affordable Housing - Pursuant to the Growth Management Act and adoption of the Countywide Planning Policies (CPP's), the GMPC appointed King County Housing Finance Task Force, and charged it with implementing CPP goals and policies for existing needs for affordable housing. Strategies for regional participation advanced by the shared commitment program are embodied in the CPP's. Individual city participation in the shared commitment program is voluntary. The Committee felt this issue to be more appropriately heard by the Public Safety/Human Services Committee and declined discussion. H. Access Control Construction Project - On October 3, 1995, the City Council approved an access control plan, which involves the installation of Type C -curbs at several locations within the City to control access to/from abutting developments. The Committee authorized the contract award to Apply -a -Line, Inc., for $23,005 plus contingency of $2,300 for a total of $25,005. This amount is $5,305 above the budgeted $20,000 and will be paid from the capital budget of the Traffic Division. The Committee m/s/c approval and forwarded to the September 17, 1996, Council agenda for approval. I. Sign Code U irn Rte - Staff reported that 1025 permanent signs have been addressed throughout the City. Over 600 Orders to Correct Violation have been issued. Forty-seven citations have been issued and six appeals have been filed. The appeal by Fox Communications was withdrawn. Chair Watkins noted that there is a reduction in the number of illegal signs throughout the City. J. Olympic View Park Stream Rehab Bid Award - Roadway Construction submitted the low bid for improvements to the stream channel running through Olympic View Park. The engineering cost estimate for this project is $55,200 and is budgeted in the Annual Water Quality Improvement Program. The Committee m/s/c recommended approval to the City Council at its September 17, 1996, regular meeting. K. KinECo Proposed Regional Storm Water Control Pond/Potential I-5 Exit Ramp Conflict - As it was not time sensitive this item was pulled from the agenda. OTHER ITEMS 6. FUTURE MEETINGS/AGENDAS 7.

CALL TO ORDER The meeting was called to order at 5:30pm. 2. PUBLIC COMMENT There was no public comment on items not included in the agenda. BUSINESS ITEMS The Mayor's Institute for Urban Design was discussed. The Mayors' Institute on City Design is funded by the College of Environmental Design at the Universtiy of California, Berkeley, and the Design Program of the National Endowment for the Arts. The Institute brings together six or seven mayors who meet with a comparable number of outstanding national urban designers. Each mayhor brings a case study for discussion, critique and suggestions, and each of the designers gives a presentation on urban design for that case study. On September 24, 1996, Professor Donlyn Lyndon, a coordinator from the Institute will visit Federal Way. He will assist in considering the nature and scope of the Case Study. A tour of the City is scheduled and supporting background materials such as plans, maps, slides, local histories, and excerpts from the Comprehensive Plan and news articles will be assembled as background information for the case study. The Committee discussed six possible alternative case studies for Federal Way: 1) SeaTac Mall Core Area Development; 2) Comprehensive Plan core area redevelopment; 3) a "district" plan; 4) Pacific Highway South corridor plan; 5) SR99 and South 320th plan; 6) and transit center plan. The reoccurring theme of an "L" or a "T" shaped design/study area surfaced out of considerable discussion between Committee, Council, Planning Commission and audience. Consensus was to focus on Pacific Highway from South 312th south to South 320th and east to Interstate 5. The Committee m/s/c selection of Case Study #5 to present to the Mayors' Institute on City Design for discussion, critique, and suggestion. It was also suggested by Lynn Templeton that changing the name of South 320th Street to "Main Street" or "Broadway" or other such name as to create a feeling of a central "downtown" core as envisioned for the City of Federal Way. The Committee requested that the Public Works and Law Departments look into making that change. OTHER ITEMS There were no other items for discussion. 6. FUTURE MEETINGS/AGENDAS The next meeting will be held at 5:30pm in City Council Chambers on October 7, 1996. 7. ADJOURN The meeting was adjourned at 7:20pm. L \LU-TRANS\SEPI6LUT. SUM I N T E R MEMO O F F I C E To: Land Use & Transportatio om i e From: Greg McCormick, AICP Subject: Des Moines Potential Annexation Area Boundary Date: September 30, 1996 On Thursday, September 5th I attended a City of Des Moines Council workshop. There were two subjects on the agenda that may have an impact on Federal Way. First, a discussion of the Potential Annexation Area (PAA) boundary interlocal agreement and secondly, an annexation proposed in the area. As you're well aware, the Federal Way staff has been in negotiation with neighboring jurisdictions regarding PAA boundaries for the past several years. Staff has been able to reach consensus with and have signed PAA interlocal agreements with all jurisdictions except Des Moines. The Des Moines Council has reviewed this issue in the past and has not taken action. At the September 5 meeting, this item was again discussed. Essentially, the discussion centered around two factors. First, the Council did not see the interlocal as a "big deal". For the most part, the Council felt this was a very small area and did not understand the importance Federal Way had put on retaining land use and zoning control over the triangle area formed by South 272nd, Pacific Highway South and 16th Avenue South. City Manager, Bob Olander communicated to the Council the importance that Federal Way has voiced regarding the triangle area. Secondly, two owners of property in the triangle attended the meeting. One property owner presented the Council a letter signed by seven of the 12 property owners in the triangle area that were interested in annexing to Des Moines. The Council was reluctant to authorize the City Manager to sign the Federal Way/Des Moines PAA interlocal against the will of what was presented as a majority of the property owners in the area. The direction given to the City Manager was to arrange a meeting between "a couple" of the Des Moines Council members and Federal Way Council members to discuss the concerns of both cities as it relates to the PAA boundary. This action was characterized by one council member as a courtesy meeting in order to preserve a positive relationship with Federal Way. A comment was made that this would give the property owners in the triangle more time to organize a petition drive to begin annexation proceedings. The mayor directed that the annexation of the triangle be put back on the Council's agenda within the next month for further discussion and possible action. The second item of interest on this agenda was a request to circulate a 10% petition to annex in the Redondo Highlands area. This area is west of the triangle, south of 272nd and east of the recent Redondo annexation area. Discussion on this item centered around including this area with the Action: Based in this latest DOT correspondence, the Basin Plan proposed location for the 5360th facility may be in conflict with the long range planned use of the property. The northeast quadrant of the intersection of SR161 and I-5 is currently owned by the DOT and has been set aside in anticipation of someday constructing an entrance ramp to I-5. Therefore the State is reluctant to agree to the use of their right-of-way as currently proposed by King County and has suggested that their own (DOT's) involvement in the S360th facility be reduced from the original proposal. The County has suggested that there is no practical alternative location for the S360th project. The DOT seems willing to allow a reduced facility to be constructed in this location, subject to the terms of this most recent letter. The reduced facility is feasible but has implications to the proposed downstream projects due to its reduced size and performance. Downstream project costs are estimated by King County to increase by as much as a factor of two for flooding and would require construction of another flow control facility in order to accomplish the proposed stream stabilization projects. The County has recently asked for the official City position on this issue. We seek Council direction on the contents of any authorized official response that might be submitted to King County in this matter. Recommendation: Staff recommends that the committee direct staff to prepare a response to King County based on the City's interest in participating in the project and the preferred use of the property in question. Attachment K:\SWM\S360THRM.LUT I N T E R MEMO O F F I C E To: Land Use & Transportation Co i ee From: Greg McCormick, AICP Co Subject: Amendment to the King County Countywide Planning Policies Date: September 30, 1996 The City has received a request from King County to consider an amendment to the King County 2012 Countywide Planning Policies (letter attached). The Growth Management Planning Council (GMPC) passed this amendment at it November 15, 1995 meeting. King County passed this amendment on August 19, 1996. To complete the ratification process a majority of the jurisdictions representing at least 70% of the county's population must approve the proposed amendment. The proposal is to amend Step 8b of Framework Policy FW -1 to extend the deadline for resolving North Bend's Joint Planning Area from December 31, 1995 to December 31, 1996. The amended policy is as follows: b. The Urban Growth Areas of the following cities which are in dispute as of May 25, 1994 and illustrated on the attached maps, are now acknowledged as Joint Planning Areas (See Appendix 1). By December 31, King County, the cities, citizens and property owners will have completed a planning process to determine land uses and the Urban Growth Area for each city, except that the planning process deadline for North Bend shall be December 31 1996. The King County Executive will recommend amendments to the Urban Growth Area for each city for adoption by the Metropolitan King County Council. The Urban Growth Area for each city will be amended in a separate Council Ordinance. These amendments are not subject to ratification under this policy. Redmond (map #1) - 15 acres Issaquah (map #2) - 100 acres Renton (map #3) - 238 acres North Bend (map #4) - 480 acres Black Diamond (map #5 titled: Black Diamond Urban Growth Area/Open Space) - maximum 3,000 acres Snoqualmie (map #6 area labeled Joint Planning Area; the time frame for completion Land Use & Transportation Committee Page 2 September 30, 1996 triangle property (discussed above) and process as a single annexation or keep separate and process individually. The decision was to, at this point, keep the annexations separate in the event that Federal Way challenges an annexation of the triangle area. My conclusion is that Des Moines will not sign the PAA interlocal and will begin processing an annexation of the triangle area the next time that the issue is on their agenda. The discussion on this issue focused on the right of a property owner to choose which city to annex to. With such apparent support of the property owners in the triangle area for annexation to Des Moines, it seems likely that the Des Moines Council will authorize the circulation of a 10% annexation petition in that area.

MEMORANDUM TO: Phil Watkins, Chair Land Use/Transportation Committee FROM: Jeff Pratt, Surface Water Manager DATE: October 1, 1996 RE: Proposed King County S360th Street Regional Storm water Control Facility/Potential I-5 Entrance Ramp Conflict Background: As a part of the "Executive Proposed Basin Plan - Hylebos Creek and Lower Puget Sound" (Basin Plan) King County identified several problems and projects along the east branch of Hylebos Creek. This branch of the Hylebos lies east of Interstate 5 and a large portion of it is within the City's potential annexation area. The headwaters to the east branch of Hylebos Creek range as far north as S312th St. within the existing City boundaries. Approximately 208 acres within the current boundaries of the City of Federal Way drain to the east branch of the Hylebos, crossing I-5 just behind Jet Chevrolet. In addition to identifying several significant flooding problems along the east branch of Hylebos Creek, King County's Basin Plan identified several stream stability problems along the east branch. The flooding problems identified by the Basin Plan fall north of SR161 within the City's proposed annexation area. All of the stream stability problems (and proposed projects) are located on that portion of stream running through the Regency Woods subdivision - an area currently proposed for annexation. An integral part of the Basin Plan proposed solution to both the flooding and stream stability problems is the 5360th Street regional storm water control facility to be located within the northeast quadrant of the intersection of I-5 and Enchanted Parkway. Should the S360th facility be constructed, it will reduce the required size of the proposed projects downstream from it - both the flooding projects and the stream stabilization projects. This of course translates into reduced project costs and is an important consideration in any proposal to annex this portion of the County. Prior to 1996 as King County began their preliminary design of the S360th facility, the County was in correspondence with both the City of Federal Way and The Washington Department of Transportation (DOT) in regards to project funding and feasibility. Based on areas draining to the east Hylebos, King County suggested a project cost allotment which included a $950,000.00 contribution from the City (identified in the SWM Capital Facilities Plan) and a similar amount was discussed with the DOT. Subsequently the DOT's position on the facility was modified as indicated by the September 16, 1996 correspondence attached - from DOT to Randall Parsons of King County. Land Use & Transportation Committee Page 2 September 30, 1996 of joint planning shall be that identified in the agreement between City of Snoqualmie, King County and Snoqualmie Ridge Associates regarding Snoqualmie's future annexation of property on the Lake Alice Plateau.) Staff Recommendation Staff recommends that the proposed amendment to Framework Policy FW -1, Step 8b of the King County Countywide Planning Policies be approved by the Council with the LUTC forwarding a recommendation of approval to the full Council. If this is the Council's direction, staff will prepare the appropriate correspondence for Mayor Priest's signature. attachment 2 Adollik Washington State T, Department of Transportation Sid Morrison Secretary of Transportation Northwest Region 15700 Dayton Avenue North PO Box 330310 Seattle, WA 98133-9710 (206)440-4000 September 16,1996 Mr. Randall L. Parsons, P.E. Manager, Basin Plan CIP Unit King County Surface Water Management 700 5th Avenue Suite 2200 Seattle, WA 98104 Dear Mr. Parsons: CGEIVED SEP 19 .139-0 South 360th Street Regional Stormwater Control Facility Proposal This letter is in response to your May 29, 1996, letter proposing a Regional Stormwater Control Facility in the northeast quadrant of South 360th Street/ SR 161 and Interstate 5. We have reviewed your proposal with WSDOT and city of Federal Way staff and agree that the proposed location of the regional detention pond is desirable for purposes of water quality and quantity control. However, the proposed site is within freeway right of way and poses difficult design challenges to meet the needs of the various parties involved. As you are aware, the interstate HOV project will require detention and water quality improvements and we are planning to use this area for these purposes. Future requirements for wetland mitigation and retrofitting the existing pavement of Interstate 5 to meet current water quality standards will probably also require additional use of this area. Adding to the complexity of the situation, a possible new on-ramp to northbound Interstate 5 from SR 161 has been studied in this area as well. The pond design as submitted by King County, leaves no room for construction of this future on-ramp. At this time, we have completed preliminary design for a possible future ramp at this location which includes an HOV by pass lane and a collector distributor lane. The preliminary foot print of this design reduces the area available for the proposed pond by about 25 percent. p Tom: is Mr. Parsons September 16,1996 Page 2 At this time, WSDOT is willing to enter into negotiations towards a letter of understanding to permit King County to use the site with the following provisions: 1. Approximately 1.5 acres of the available site must be reserved for the possible future construction of a new on-ramp from SR 161 to northbound SR 5. If in the future a final decision is made to not construct a ramp at this location, the facility could be expanded into the reserved area. 2. A portion of the capacity of the proposed pond must be reserved for the detention requirements of the HOV project, the future on-ramp and collector distributor lane and the future retrofit requirements of the runoff from the existing SR 5 impervious surfaces. At this time, we estimate we will need 2.98 acre-feet of storage reserved for WSDOT's future needs. Of this 2.98 acre-feet, 1.70 acre-feet will be live storage. 3. WSDOT participation in the regional facility would be limited to allowing King County the use of the state owned property for the project. Your offer to participate in future project discussions with WSDOT and the city of Federal Way is very welcome. Our project engineer for the design of these improvements is Ms. Susan Everett. She is a member of my staff and can be reached at (206)440-4582. Please contact Ms. Everett for future project discussions towards a letter of understanding between King County, the city of Federal Way and WSDOT. Sincerely, �r A.W. (BILL) CARTER, P.E. Assistant District Administrator for Development cc: Cary Roe, Public Works Director, City of Federal Way Susan Everett, WSDOT Design Project Engineer, Northwest Region Pasco Bakotich, WSDOT Design Project Engineer, Olympic Region MEMORANDUM TO: Phil Watkins, Chair Land Use/Transportation Committee FROM: Jeff Pratt, Surface Water Manager k� DATE: October 2, 1996 RE: King County Surface Water Management - Regional Needs Assessment Status Background: The Regional Needs Assessment (RNA) was initiated in 1994. Its purpose was to define the needs, priorities, and responsibilities for surface water management (SWM) within the boundaries of King County. It has been a collaborative, interjurisdictional effort involving SWM staff from jurisdictions throughout King County, the Suburban Cities Association, the Regional Water Quality Council, the King Conservation District, elected officials, tribal governments, and many other stakeholders. The RNA examined the issues of surface water management relative to drainage and conveyance, major river flooding, water quality, and fish habitat. Consensus was reached on those issues that are considered "local" in nature and those issues which transcend jurisdictional boundaries and are therefore considered "regional" in nature. Basically, the issues surrounding local flooding and conveyance issues are thought to best addressed on a local level, while it is felt that issues involving water quality, major river flooding, and fish habitat must somehow be addressed in a more global or regional context. In an effort to distinguish and address these most urgent SWM issues, the RNA prepared eight recommendations for change centered on the themes of simplicity, collaboration, and accountability. Simply stated the recommendations are as follows (those recommendations of potential impact in the near term are italicized): Certain SWM services are best provided through a coordinated regional effort, e.g., water quality, major river flooding, and fish habitat 2. The coordinated regional effort should be managed collaboratively by watershed 3. The County should be divided into six watersheds 4. Watershed forums should be created for four of the six watersheds Designate the Regional Water Quality Committee (RWQC) as the regional policy focal point for watershed -based management 6. Additional regional funds need to be provided to protect and restore fish habitat 7. Funding support for flood hazard reduction projects should be provided by the benefitting watersheds 8. King County should provide short term funding to get started on the RNA recommendations Of the six watersheds that the County is divided into, the City of Federal Way lies within portions of three - the Green/Duwamish River watershed, the Puget Sound direct drainage watershed, and the White River watershed. Due to a lack of resources and other concerns, watershed forums as recommended in number four above, were not established for either the White River watershed or the Puget Sound direct drainage watershed. This fact has the practical implication that SWM issues within these two watersheds will be addressed in the future in much the same way that they have in the past, i.e., local control will be the rule and coalitions will have to be established on an as needed basis to deal with any regional issues. A watershed forum has been established for the Green/Duwamish watershed. The express mission of the forum is to empower the community at large to take a strong role in managing the watershed. The forum will attempt to accomplish this by setting goals and strategies for surface water management issues in the watershed, sorting out overlaps and conflicts, developing funding sources, obtaining consensus between the various stakeholders, and eventually taking action on the more pressing issues. The City of Federal Way contributes about 0.75 square miles of drainage area to this 492 square mile watershed. The City's population within this drainage basin represents approximately 3,400 of the 359,795 total within the watershed. In a concurrent process to the establishment and startup of the watershed forums, the RWQC established a finance task force to explore funding alternatives for regional projects identified by the four watershed forums. As a guide to potential projects and project costs the task force used the findings and recommendations of the County's Flood Hazard Reduction Plan, Waterways 2000, basin plans, and the Fish Habitat Task Force. The task force, hoping to develop a consensus on financing flood control and fish habitat improvements, has estimated that $200 million dollars in priority capital projects are needed over the next twenty years in order to address major surface water problems within the County. To that end they have discussed eight alternative funding sources. But before a final recommendation can be made several key issues must be resolved and discussed with the relevant stakeholders. Among the more important issues yet to be resolved are a more accurate means of project identification (and project cost identification) and the allocation of project costs among the various stakeholders. Toward the end of establishing a more accurate project identification and prioritization list, each of the watershed forums, using funding from King County, has begun an Ecosystem Restoration Study (study) within their respective watershed which is intended to be accomplished in three phases: reconnaissance, feasibility, and construction. The reconnaissance phase now underway is scheduled to be completed in January of 1997. The outcome of this phase will be a priority listing of proposed capital project needs within each of the watersheds. Currently the County is looking to the other forum participants for help in funding the estimated cost of the next phase, the feasibility phase. They have proposed a cost sharing approach to the funding of this phase that is based on contributing drainage area, population within the watershed, and assessed value of property within the watershed (the funding scheme as proposed by the County is attached). As proposed by the County this would necessitate participation by the City of Federal Way in the amount of $600.00 during the feasibility phase of the study. In the Green/Duwamish forum, the participants have reserved judgement on whether or not to proceed with and participate in the feasibility phase of the study until the results of the reconnaissance phase are completed in January. During the most recent (September 11, 1996) meeting of the Green/Duwamish forum a motion was made by Mayor Rants of Tukwila to disband the forum and reconfigure the existing Green River Flood Control Zone District (FCZD) to handle the issues of major river flooding, water quality, and fish habitat. This proposition has the advantage of seemingly reducing a "layer of government" via its use of an existing governance structure and on this basis received the support of some of the forum members - most notably the elected officials present from the City of Auburn. The mechanics of the reconfiguration were discussed and it was noted that some significant hurdles must be cleared in order to go forward with this proposition, including the agreement of the State legislature. It was decided to form an advisory group comprised of appropriate members from the Suburban Cities Association and the FCZD to explore in detail the issue of expanding the FCZD's mission. Other than the completion of the reconnaissance phase of the study (which is being funded by King County), no further Green/Duwamish or related RNA activity is anticipated until January of 1997. Staff will continue to keep the Land Use/Transportation Committee apprised on the proceedings and may find it necessary to return to the committee in early 1997 to discuss any proposed funding alternatives associated with the feasibility or construction phases of the study.

GRNALOC3.XLS eOF DATE: October 1, 1996 TO: Councilmember Phil Watkins, Chair Land Use/Transportation Committee FROM: Ken Miller, Street Systems Manager Z4l SUBJECT: SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM The City's annual structures budget is $119,367, a portion of which is used to fund the City's annual sidewalk improvement program. The following is an estimated distribution of the 1996 structures budget: • Replace Wheelchair Ramps to meet ADA Standards $27,984 • Replace damaged curb and gutter $7,415 • Replace damaged sidewalk $31,552 • Additional estimated budget for portions of 21st Ave SW and contingency for the 1996 Sidewalk Improvement Program $16,691 • Removal of trees which have caused damage to sidewalks and curbs $5,572 • Installation of guardrail $151432 • Miscellaneous sidewalk, curb and gutter repairs to date, in residential areas based on complaints received $6,839 • Estimated costs for miscellaneous sidewalk, curb and gutter, fence and retaining wall repair for the remainder of 1996 $7882 Estimated total program costs $119,367 The projects selected for the 1996 Sidewalk program was based on a combination of the City's arterial sidewalk inventory, overlay projects, complaints received, and safety concerns. There are currently no set guidelines on how the structures budget is distributed, however, staff has generally followed the above distribution in past years. A set of guidelines can be developed to allocate percentages of the budget to be spent on various items of work. Staff is seeking direction from the LUTC on how the structures budget should be allocated to the various functions (i.e. wheelchair ramps, curb and gutter, new sidewalks, repair existing sidewalks, new guardrail, repair existing guardrail, fences, and retaining walls). K:\LUTC\SWIMP.MEM DATE: October 1, 1996 TO: Councilmember Phil Watkins, Chair Land Use/Transportation Committee FROM: Ken Miller, Street Systems Manager Awp� SUBJECT: STREET TREE POLICY The City of Federal Way does not currently have a formal street tree policy. However, it has two documents which address right of way vegetation. The first of which is a right of way vegetation ordinance (Ord. No. 93-187, see attached), which primarily deals with vegetation removal within the right of way, and the second one is a right of way vegetation list which serves as a guideline for property owners/developers who plant and maintain within the right of way. While these two documents provide a basis for planting and maintaining vegetation in the City's right of way, it might be beneficial to develop a street tree policy. A comprehensive street tree policy would provide the City with the necessary tools to properly plan for and manage street trees and vegetation within the public right of way. At a minimum, a street tree policy should address the following: • What roadways should have street trees (arterials, collectors, residential, or specific streets)? • Where should street trees be located along the roadway (planter strips, medians, in sidewalks, behind sidewalks)? • What type of trees should be used, based on the potential damage to the roadway, curb and gutter, sidewalk, and utilities? Develop a plan, schedule and budget for replacement/removal of those existing trees which are determined to be inappropriate due to their potential damage to the infrastructure in the right of way. • Determine the minimum width of planter strips, medians, and tree grates necessary for various species of trees (the City's right of way vegetation list covers this item is some detail and may be refined to be included in the policy). • Clear responsibility for maintenance of vegetation within the right of way (i.e. planting strips, medians, behind the sidewalk, etc.) • Develop a maintenance plan and budget to address not only maintaining vegetation from a safety perspective, but also from an aesthetic point of view. • Other landscaping or vegetation besides trees in the right of way. There is currently a minimal budget specifically dedicated to street trees. The removal and replacement of street trees are done on an as needed basis and is covered in various streets programs, such as structures and right of way maintenance. Staff is seeking direction from the LiTTC on whether or not a street tree policy should be developed, elements to be included in the policy, and how budgetary impacts should be addressed.
