AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Public Hearing - Estimated 2015 revenues and expenditures.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: State budget law.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: No formal Council action has been taken on the 2015
Budget. A proposed budget is currently under review by the City Manager who will present his
Preliminary 2015 Budget to the Council on October 7, 2014.
BACKGROUND: This marks the third occasion where the Council will discuss the 2015 Budget
and by the time the Council is scheduled to adopt the 2015 Budget on November 18, 2014,
Council will have had an opportunity to discuss it on seven separate occasions, including two
public hearings to gather input from citizens:
• June 17 Council Budget Retreat
• September 2 Admin report: Estimated 2015 revenues and expenditures
• September 9 Public hearing #1 on 2015 revenues and expenditures
• October 7 City Manager's presentation of preliminary 2015 Budget
• October 14 Public hearing #2 on 2015 Budget
• October 28 First reading on ordinance adopting the 2015 Budget
• November 18 Second reading on ordinance adopting the 2015 Budget
State law requires that the City hold a public hearing on revenue sources for the upcoming
year's budget in order to consider input from the public. An administrative report was presented
to Council on this topic on September 2"d and the public hearing is set for this evening. Until
City Council adoption all figures currently included in the 2015 Budget worksheets are
preliminary and subject to change by the City Manager.
2015 Budget Overview:
• The 2015 Budget currently includes appropriations of $67,205,345 including $16,251,718 in
capital expenditures, comprised in-part of:
o $11,474,668 in Fund #303 Street Capital Projects
o $308,000 in Fund #309 Park Capital Projects
o $2,615,050 in pavement preservation including $920,000 financed by the General Fund
o $1,800,000 in Stormwater Management Fund #402 and APA Fund #403 projects
o $30,000 in Fund #501 Equipment Rental and Replacement for the acquisition of one
small SUV for the Community and Economic Development Department.
• To partially offset the $16,251,718 in capital costs, we anticipate $10,945,146 in grant
revenues which results in 67.3% of capital expenditures being covered with State and
Federal money.
• Budgets will be adopted across 21 separate funds.

Pertaining Specifically to the General Fund:
• The 2015 recurring revenue estimate of $38,442,200 is $1,618,700 or 4.40% greater than
the 2014 budget of$36,823,500.
• The 2015 recurring expenditure proposal of $38,338,882 is $1,515,872 or 4.12% greater
than the 2014 appropriation of$36,823,010.
• With the exception of the addition of some supplemental requests discussed at the June 17
Budget Workshop, recurring expenditures for nonpayroll related expenditure classifications
have been held to a maximum increase over the previous year's budget, of 1%.
• Recurring revenues currently exceed recurring expenditures by $103,318 or .27% of
recurring revenues.

o $7,400 of supplies for a 10-year CenterPlace anniversary event

ROLL CALL: City Clerk Bainbridge called the roll; all Councilmembers were present.
ACTION ITEMS:
1.Bid Award, SE Yardley Stormwater Retrofit—Eric Guth
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Woodard and seconded to award the SE Yardley Stormwater Retrofit
Project to Halme Construction, Inc., in the amount of$704,727.75, and authorize the City Manager to
finalize and execute the construction contract. Speaking for Mr. Guth, Senior Engineer Worley explained
that the bid came in below the engineer's estimate, and staff recommends awarding the bid to Halme
Construction. Mayor Grafos invited public comment; no comments were offered. Vote by Acclamation:
In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed:None. Motion carried.
2. Previously Adopted,TIB Call for Projects,Motion to Amend—Steve Worley, Sean Messner
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Woodard and seconded that in accordance with notice given at the last
meeting, to amend the motion adopted at the July 22, 2014 Council meeting to add the language
"University, 16th to Dishman Mica, to remain four lanes." Mr. Worley went over the background of this
issue, including the action that was taken at the July 22 Council meeting, and said the previous proposal
was to resurface University Road and re-stripe to three lanes plus buffered bike lanes along University,
which he explained, would allow people safe access to the Appleway Trail, the park library site, and
elsewhere. Mr. Worley explained staffs estimated application scores for University Road with both the
three lane and four-lane configuration; and said the safety score drops considerably for the four lane as
compared with the three lane; and explained that the numbers circled on the chart are the projects that
were selected last year; he said if this remains four lanes, we would likely not be eligible for this grant
under the safety category. Mr. Worley explained the difference between the three-lane with buffered bike
lanes, and the four lane with bike lanes without a buffer and with the two middle lanes ten-feet wide,
which he said would be narrow; that the outside lane would be twelve feet since the buses tend to be
wider and use that curb lane, which he said would leave a five-foot bike lane with no buffer; or another
idea is to make all travel lanes eleven feet each.There was additional discussion about vehicle width,lane
width, and narrow lanes, which Mr. Messner said are not preferred on arterials. Mr. Messner stated that
Council Study Session 08-19-2014 Page 1 of 6
Approved by Council:
DRAFT
these changes are being examined from a safety perspective, that the data they examined for Broadway
going from a four to a three lane, showed a 20% reduction in crashes, and said he anticipates similar
results in this case; he said the buffered bike lane also gives more distance from the bikers and the traffic.
Mr.Messner noted this section has the lowest amount of traffic volume of any they have looked at for this
type of configuration; and said there is plenty of capacity with either three or four lanes.
Mr. Messner talked about the three lane type of crashes, and said while there would be an overall
reduction of crashes, the type of crashes would change from angle crashes which are more severe, to the
less severe rear-end crashes. Deputy Mayor Woodard said he would rather have a head-on collision than
a rear-end collision;that this is a bus route so we would want to accommodate the bus,adding that the bus
(STA bus)cannot be passed legally on that third lane;he also mentioned snow and ice problems as people
try to get up the hill in winter weather. Mr. Messner said from a maintenance perspective, they have not
had any reports or incidents of sliding on that hill. Councilmember Wick asked about the area north of the
intersection and if we have had any complaints or problems, and Mr. Messner said he has not examined
that area,but has not heard anything in the last eight months; he said the majority of our lanes are twelve
feet wide and that they try not to go less than eleven feet since the bus has wide mirrors and it would be
uncomfortable to have only two feet between the mirrors and the vehicle in the next lane,especially when
traffic travels about 35 to 40 mph. Mayor Grafos invited public comment; no comments were offered.
Councilmember Hafner said in comparing the three lanes to four lanes,that ten feet wide is not very good
while thirteen feet gives ample room for bikes;he said sidewalks are important; and said he is not in favor
of a change since the pros for a three-lane outweigh the pros for a four lane; that this was determined a
few weeks ago and this is a safety factor;which he said is more important, and therefore seems there is no
rationale for going back to the four lanes. Councilmember Pace said we have to balance this with what
people want in that area and that it has been four lanes for a long time; that he has a gut feeling and thinks
people want it to stay as it is not; that he didn't talk to anyone, but this is just based on his own
experience. Councilmember Wick stated that nearly one in three crashes would not have to happen if the
road is switched to a three lane; and said it appears it would score better on the grant application.
Councilmember Bates stated he agreed with Councilmember Wick and thinks the decision made July 22
was the correct one as safety must be the highest priority and that there is some proven data indicating
three lanes are safer. Deputy Mayor Woodard said he asked about having four lanes with bike lanes three
weeks ago and was told staff didn't think it was feasible; which he said is what prompted him to start his
questioning of the decision; and said he should have visited the site prior to the July 22 meeting; he said
he is not being critical and doesn't have an engineering degree,but that doesn't mean common sense can't
come into play; that he doesn't see that it is "all that broke" and doesn't see the problem, and feels a
change to three lanes will not see that much accident reduction. Councilmember Higgins said that we
seem to be dealing with some statistical"what-ifs" and that he doesn't see convincing evidence that it will
be significantly different. Mayor Grafos added that he feels it won't gain a lot to change it to three lanes.
Councilmember Hafner called for the question, which resulted in a unanimous vote in favor of stopping
discussion and voting on the motion.
Vote by Acclamation on the motion to amend the motion adopted at the July 22, 2014 Council meeting to
add the language "University, 16th to Dishman Mica, to remain four lanes" resulted in Mayor Grafos,

Councilmembers Hafner, Wick and Bates voting against the motion. The motion passed.
NON-ACTION ITEMS:
3. Shoreline Development Regulations—Lori Barlow
Community Development Director Hohman reported that staff worked diligently to "scrub" this
document's verbiage;that his staff as well as legal counsel spent many hours going over the development
regulations word by word, and said he feels that effort has resulted with a clear document that staff can

implement and developers can understand; he said they tried to accommodate the many comments and
suggestions given over the years, and he feels this is ready for Council's review. Mr. Hohman said that
special Counsel Tadas Kisielius is here tonight; that this program has minimal impact on the development
community as there are not a lot of vacant parcels; he said everyone worked hard to include the most
unique portion, which is our variable buffers, and said that has not been done elsewhere in the state yet;
that they worked with the Department of Ecology (DOE) to prove that this could be implemented in the
field; that staff spent the last four months going over this in detail with the Planning Commission; and he
encouraged Council to ask questions throughout the report.
Senior Planner Barlow said that tonight's report is to give Council an overview of the document, and
demonstrate how the document is likely to be used by the public; said she will highlight some of the
issues discussed by the Planning Commission, and as required by Washington State law, these final draft
regulations will be presented to Council for adoption by resolution; and eventually the entire document
will come back to Council for adoption consideration by Ordinance. Ms. Barlow said that this is the final
piece to be developed, that once complete it will be taken through the public review process, and then it
goes to the Department of Ecology for their final review and process. Ms. Barlow also noted that this
draft document is the Planning Commission's recommended final draft, and is in track-change format so
Council see easily see the Commission's recommended changes. Ms. Barlow explained that the
regulations are the "how to"proponent of the Shoreline Master Plan and identify what is allowed without
a permit, and what activities require a permit, all of which is in compliance with the DOE rules; she said
this also identifies the process to make sure it meets the intent of all regulations, including regulations
found in our City Code.
Mr.Kisielius reviewed some of the specific regulations and how the Planning Commission resolved some
of their concerns;he mentioned that the "no net loss" standard is the cornerstone and the regulations must
assure this, which he said could be accomplished through various means, including mitigation if needed.
Mr. Kisielius noted that they went out and mapped the riparian area; and he went over several sections
and draft changes including 21.50.210, 150(4) and 21.50.250; and noted that section "e" is a large, added
section which sets the standards for paths within the buffer, and sets out more clearly the parameters when
a path can be built, and that part of that section addresses docks and where they can be allowed; he said
the Planning Commission options considered included keeping the status quo, or drawing the division
between the "lake-like" conditions and the "free flowing"part of the river; that they identified the middle
ground as the transition area, and an applicant will be required to demonstrate whether they fall in that
parameter of free flowing or lake-like; said the problem in that area is public health and safety as we do
not want docks built in an area where they would be at risk of falling down or have an ecological impact
on the shoreline; he said the Planning Commission chose more robust reporting requirements for those
who want to build docks in those areas, and he referenced subsection 8 on page 39. Mr. Kisielius noted
that west of Millwood is the lake-like area with not much habitat, and the free-flowing area is east of
Millwood. Ms. Barlow said they don't know the number of properties in that area, but there are only a
handful of properties still vacated, adding that Coyote Rock contains about 31 lots. Mr. Hohman added
that of those 31 lots, there are three existing homes on those water front lots, and to the east is part of a
proposed subdivision, and Ms. Barlow said that the property east doesn't have waterfront. Mr. Hohman
explained that these regulations don't materially change the environment we have now; that the topic of
docks has been very controversial, and that it won't be any more difficult to get a dock constructed after
these regulations are approved, then it would be today. Ms. Barlow mentioned that there is also no push
in that area, and there are no property owners seeking dock approval; she said they reached out to the
community but have received no responses. Mayor Grafos said he recognizes that a lot of work has been
done on this, and he feels Mr.Kisielius has provided a good service to the citizens, and that with a simple
survey, a developer could immediately see what can or can't be done. Mr. Kisielius reminded everyone
that this is mandated by the state, of what triggers an exemption, what is and is not exempt, but that

overall the goal is to assure there is no net loss; and that they sought opportunities to streamline the
process while still accomplishing that objective.
Mayor Grafos called for a recess at 7:39 p.m., and he reconvened the meeting at 7:51 p.m.
4. Historic Preservation—Mike Basinger
After Senior Planner Basinger went through his PowerPoint presentation explaining the steps to become a
Certified Local Government (CLG), which is a means to maintain historic preservation that aids in
tourism and economic development, and which generally includes formation of a commission, Council
indicated their preference for staff to pursue this further; and agreed with Mr. Basinger's idea of inviting
the SHPO (State Historic Preservation Officer)to speak to Council in greater detail on forming a CLG.
5. Commercial Vehicles(trucks,etc.)Parking in Residential Areas—Cary Driskell
City Attorney Driskell explained that tonight's agenda item is in response to Council's desire to have a
more detailed discussion about commercial vehicles parking in residential neighborhoods, adding that
several discussion points are covered in his August 19, 2014 Request for Council Action form; or that
Council could determine not to regulate this issue. Councilmember Hafner said he doesn't want anything
too complex yet does want it accommodating; said Council has the right to regulate public streets and
large vehicles can obstruct and restrict travel, especially emergency vehicle travel; said that it appears
some people are using public roads as private land for their private property; that some think of this as a
convenience and that for some, it is just easier to park on the street; he said if people purchase a large
vehicle,like a boat,they need to make arrangements for parking, and said that includes people who live in
apartments; he said we should be consistent in addressing the problem; that previously Council held about
eight meetings on this topic, but the issue still exists; and said perhaps parking could be prohibited for
vehicles over 10,000 pounds or prohibited from parking in residential areas; he said if recreational
vehicles (RVs) are located in garages, carports, or other areas where they do not obscure the sight of
vision of neighbors, that would not be an issue; he said it appears that pick-up trucks are getting bigger
and longer, and perhaps there should be a regulation to limit where they can park, whether in a garage or
driveway; adding that some garages are not big enough to handle such vehicles; and lastly, he said if we
enact regulations, we need to give the truckers the opportunity to make accommodations prior to the
effectiveness of any ordinance, perhaps by giving them anywhere from three to twelve months' notice
prior to the ordinance becoming effective; and said he does not want 18-wheelers parking in residential
neighborhoods.
Councilmember Pace said he agreed with Councilmember Hafner; that it is important to honor property
rights and not restrict what people do inside their own property; and that the cost of parking a commercial
vehicle is part of the cost of doing business,and said that same idea can be applied to those owning an RV
or boat; and that the focus should be on safety and eliminating the obstruction of view. Councilmember
Higgins asked if we have had any accidents concerning our existing ordinance, and Mr. Driskell
explained that the existing focus is on idling vehicles and about existing signs for local delivery only.
Councilmember Higgins asked if there have been any accidents or citations under the existing ordinance
and Mr. Driskell said he is not aware of any accidents, but is aware of a situation about a month ago
where the Police Department was going to cite someone for the idling violation, but due to a technical
issue, did not; and said he is also not aware of the number of truckers this would adversely affect or how
many people in businesses would be affected.
Councilmember Bates said he feels the ordinance needs some changes; and he would like to discuss this
issue as two separate issues, and separate the problem of 18-wheelers from the other categories like RV's
or boats; and said the ultimate goal is to give the streets back to the neighborhood; that he realizes placing
an RV in storage involves cost, but that is something for the individual to consider when making such a
purchase. Councilmember Wick said the first time this was addressed, the focus was on noise and

pollution; now perhaps issues to consider are length of vehicle, multiple vehicles, and crowding streets;
he said he does not want to tell people what they can or can't park on their own property,but now people
can park cars on streets; he said that often small business owners are truck owners and this would affect
their livelihood and he asked what other options they would have; adding that he could not support the
idea of going after trucks on a city-wide basis.
Deputy Mayor Woodard said that neighborhood problems do not make for good public policy, nor does
making public policy due to the vocalness of some neighborhoods or neighbors, and said such regulations
could have unintended consequences; said there are two different issues, one is the eighteen wheelers and
the other all the larger vehicles such as motor homes, RVs, or boats; and he questioned who would notify
all the dealers of motor homes, boats, etc., if such regulations were in place; he asked how big is the
problem; he said public property is also the citizen's property and we allow curbside parking of cars; said
that 18-wheelers might be a different issue and agreed with the idea of having more time prior to any
ordinance becoming effective; said there are safety issues as well to consider, and agreed with the idea of
separating 18-wheelers from the RVs and other vehicles. Mayor Grafos stated that he feels more than
80% of the vehicles in question are less than 22' long, and that the larger vehicles represent a small
percentage;he asked if we talked with the towing association about their wrecker trucks; said he also does
not want to see adverse impacts to neighbors, and proposed if vehicles are longer than 22' long,they must
be parked on the individual's private lot and not be permitted to park on the public right-of-way; and said
he realizes trucks are running a business but it should not impact property owners.
Attorney Driskell said it appears there are three member of council who don't want regulations; three who
favor some consideration of an ordinance dealing with vehicles longer than 22'; and one member of
council who wants regulations for semi-trucks but not RVs. Councilmember Bates clarified that his stance
is, this wouldn't mean it would be permissible to park RVs on streets, but rather than he wants the issue
separate from 18-wheelers. Mr. Driskell said he will work on draft language, keep away from regulating
private property, consider some reasonable implementation time, and that such draft would be a"work in
progress" and that there will be further future discussions.
At 9:00 p.m., it was moved by Deputy Mayor Woodard, seconded and unanimously agreed to extend the
meeting for forty-five minutes.
6. Goals and Priorities for Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (LTAC)—Mark Calhoun,Erik Lamb
Finance Director Calhoun gave a summary of what was discussed last week as noted on his August 19,
2014 Request for Council Action form, and said that tonight's focus is the goals and priorities,which will
ultimately be given to the LTAC when the meet later this fall. Mr. Calhoun said he is looking for
consensus as to what to include in the application that goes out in two weeks. Councilmember Wick, as
the LTAC Committee chair, briefly explained the rationale for how they came up with the goals and that
he was trying to represent what Council was looking for: that#1 was a decision about the $30,000,which
he said is not really a goal but is a decision about the funds; #2 was geared to trying to spread the funds
through multiple aspects of tourism and not just use the funds for marketing; #3 is to include other aspects
of tourism and not just focus on overnight stays, but to include restaurants, shopping, and to take into
consideration if tourists travel more than fifty miles or come from out of town; #4 was to use funds to
develop tourism destination facilities within our City; and #5 goal is that Council would like funding
recipients to be self-sustaining in the future. There was brief discussion about putting a time limit on
entities becoming self-sustaining with no eventual change in the goal,but there was Council consensus to
add a sixth goal of dedicating 5% of the funds toward funding new projects, activities and/or events. Mr.
Calhoun said he will revise the list and bring this information back to Council next week for further
discussion.

7. Draft Council Goals—Mike Jackson
In order to be clear on Council's goals in adopting the upcoming budget, City Manager Jackson said
tonight is an opportunity to discuss goals for any changes or refinements; regarding the last goal of the
Comprehensive Plan review, he said that staff is developing a scope of work, but that it could not be
completed by 2015, that the scope of work would take the process through 2016, and while it is not
legally due until 2017,it is likely not able to be done in a year based on the number of public hearings and
time spent by the Planning Commission in review,which all occurs prior to Council's review; and said he
will look at the aspects of this review to see what kind of timeline staff needs. After discussion of the
second goal of pursuing the bridging the valley concept, Mr. Jackson said he would add the words
"corridor consolidation"to that goal.
8. Tourism Promotion Agency(TPA)—Mark Calhoun,Erik Lamb
Deputy City Attorney Lamb explained that this item is to provide information about the TPA as a separate
funding mechanism, as sometimes it gets confused with the LTAC, and he went over the four main
purposes of the TPA as shown on page 2 of his Request for Council Action form.
9.Advance Agenda-Mayor Grafos There were no suggested changes to the advance agenda.
10. Council Comments—Mayor Grafos Council had no additional comments.
11. City Manager Comments—Mike Jackson
Concerning the Spokane Regional Transportation Management Center, Mr. Jackson said all parties are
moving forward toward a new interlocal agreement or memorandum of understanding, where WSDOT
(Washington State Department of Transportation) would operate the Management Center; and said staff
should have more information in several weeks.
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Woodard, seconded and unanimously agreed to adjourn. The meeting
adjourned at 9:45 p.m.

in the industrial zoning districts adjacent to residential zoning districts and uses, to a second reading.
Planner Harnois went over the background of this citizen-initiated code text amendment, which is to
reduce the side and rear yard setbacks within the industrial zones. She explained that with the assistance
of the City's GIS Specialist Dan Neyman, as well as the assessor's tax code data and business license
information, potentially impacted residences were located in the industrial zones, and she went over the
information as shown on her PowerPoint slides, including how many residences were in the Yardley,

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS:
3. Potential Projects for Public Facilities District—Mike Stone
Parks and Recreation Director Stone said he was asked to determine if there might be CenterPlace
projects to consider in a request for funding assistance from the Public Facilities District(PFD)as a result
of the savings they will realize as a result of our re-financed 2003 LTGO bonds. Mr. Stone said the
accompanying list is not in any order of priority, and his estimates are conservative; that he seeks
Council's input and then Mr. Jackson will decide if some of these projects can move forward as he meets
later with members of the PFD. Mr. Stone said that all the projects are located at CenterPlace since that
was the focus of the previous bond issue. After Mr. Stone explained some of the projects in further detail,
there was Council concurrence that their top priority was the sound system in the Great Room, followed
by updating the sound system in room 109 and other rooms if funding is available; and it was noted that
the amount of funding is at the discretion of the PFD. Mr. Jackson explained that the PFD does not have
cash on hand, so the funding would be handled over time instead of a lump savings, and said the PFD's
total savings as a result of our re-financing the bonds is estimated at$1.7 million.
4. Street Maintenance Contract—Eric Guth
Public Works Director Guth explained that the current street and stormwater maintenance contract,which
was originally signed in 2007 with seven annual extensions, expires at the end of this year, and staff will
seek new bids, with a hopeful bid opening of September 18. Mr. Guth said his staff worked with our
legal department, as well as a consultant to assist in the RFB (request for bids) packet; he said the intent
was to take the service contract and make it fit within the state bidding laws, and said that significant
changes have been made to the verbiage and bidding documents since that original bid package of 2007.
Mr. Guth went over some of the highlights of what will be included in the new contract; said this is a
public works program so we are governed by state regulations, which includes that contractors must pay
Minutes Regular Council Meeting 08-26--2014 Page 2 of 5
Approved by Council:
DRAFT
prevailing wage as a minimum wage; said the labor rates, equipment and material rates must be fully
loaded, and he explained that before we had hourly rates for labor,equipment and materials,and asked for
overhead and profit margin, so it was a cost-plus style contract;now,he explained it will be a fully loaded
rate which means no overhead and profit will be shown as a separate plus into the rate;that it will include
all the positions for the subcontractors so we will know the rates even before the work starts, which will
allow us to manage the contractor as well as the subcontractor. Regarding the term of the contract,
Director Guth said they liked the one year with the possibility to extend an additional year, but felt eight
years was too long, so they are starting annually with an extension of four years for a total of five years.
Mr. Guth said before, the compensation was negotiated and the contractor could request an increase
within sixty days of the end of the year, with a cap of CPI (consumer price index), but with the new
contract, we didn't want to get into the negotiation aspect and felt it would serve better if we allowed an
increase over the five year term for the prevailing wage, and/or the price of oil since that price fluctuates.
Mr. Guth said we have also removed the snow removal portion of this contract and are looking at
handling the snow removal with in-house forces along with hiring some temporary snowplow drivers.
Mr. Guth said that the request for bid is a draft and that staff continues refining some aspects of the
package. Mr. Guth said that the legal department has reviewed this and is comfortable this will keep us
within the state bidding laws; and that we will be looking at the lowest responsible bidder while looking
at the ability to do the work, as well as some other considerations bidders will need to meet in order to be
responsive to this bid.
Councilmember Higgins said he thought that September 18 is a narrow window; but Mr. Guth said the
bid forms are basic,with the labor spelled out for most bidders that it must be prevailing wages or better;
that the bidder will know their own overhead and profit as well as equipment rates; and regarding the
materials, we will mostly get current pricing from current vendors; he said if they are putting together
bids for any projects, a lot of these are normal requests, adding the process including the timeframe is
similar to what we do for most of our projects, and that this was how we handled the Sullivan Bridge bid.
Councilmember Bates said he assumes Mr. Guth has specific projects in mind with the total of
$1,366,000; and Mr. Guth listed some of the basic projects that it will cover. Mayor Grafos said he thinks
there was a lot of thought put into the process and appreciates the effort as it will save a lot of money.
There were no objections to Mr. Guth bringing this back for a motion consideration at an upcoming
meeting.
5. Thierman Traffic Analysis—Sean Messner
Senior Traffic Engineer Sean Messner explained that during the June 3 Council meeting, Council
requested a more detailed analysis of the Sprague/Thierman and Appleway/Thierman intersections, using
the VISSIM traffic analysis software to detail the options of keeping the existing conditions, modifying
the northbound lane to a shared through left-turn lane with no changes to Appleway/Thierman, and
modifying the northbound approach to have dual left-turn lanes and a single through lane and reduce the
southbound left-turn lane length at Appleway/Thierman. Via his PowerPoint presentation, Mr. Messner
explained that the analyses reveal that the alternate lane configurations provide additional queue storage
for the northbound left-turn traffic,but degrades the operations of both Sprague and Appleway-Thierman
intersections; it showed that 36% of the crashes at the intersection were the result of left-turn crashes; and
he suggested the installation of flashing yellow arrows for the northbound approach to help mitigate those
accidents. He explained that this type of arrows are used in various places throughout our city to allow
permissive and protective left-turns, and could improve the operations of the intersections. Mr. Messner
explained that the approximate cost for this installation at Sprague/Thierman is $6,000, plus County and
City staff time. The next best option, Mr. Messner explained, would be option #1 with an estimated cost
of$14,000.
Mr. Messner said that his previous opinion that all options increase a delay on Sprague by three to five
second per vehicle, was confirmed with the VISSIM analysis and that average queues increased except
Minutes Regular Council Meeting 08-26--2014 Page 3 of 5
Approved by Council:
DRAFT
for the northbound Thierman; also his previous opinion that based on current traffic counts, updated
analyses and periodic monitoring, the option to keep the current operations with no changes was also
confirmed with VISSIM and he said the current configuration and traffic signal timings provide
acceptable levels of service.Mr.Messner said he also looked at the safety analysis which shows very few
crashes, which he said is a dead give-away that operations must be good as traffic is high and if the
operations were not good,there would be more crashes. Mr. Messner explained that left-turn crashes are
one of the worst crashes and result in the most injury; he also noted that installation of dual left-turn lanes
to replace a single left-turn lane would likely increase sideswipes as much as 41%based on national data,
adding that the 2008-2013 data shows that there have been no sideswipe crashes. Mr. Messner explained
that dual left-turn lanes from Thierman to Sprague would create trap lanes, which can also increase
sideswipes and rear-end crashes; he said his recommendation is to maintain the existing lane
configurations, but to replace the existing signal heads with flashing yellow arrows, which will improve
safety and should improve operation as well. Mr. Messner said he conducted a twenty-four hour video
surveillance and did not see any blocking issues. Councilmember Higgins said a concern was raised by a
business owner about the corner, and perhaps the twenty-four hour sampling is not sufficient to address
his problem. Mr. Messner said he didn't want to spend any more money to conduct further studies; said
the analysis indicate that a dual lane will help the situation for the northbound, but would impact all other
movements of the intersection.
Mayor Grafos asked when the video was done and Mr. Messner replied that it was a twenty-four period
on a Tuesday or Wednesday. Mayor Grafos said we do not know how many out-of-town people make
that turn who are not familiar with the intersection, or were in the wrong lane and had to turn around
further down the road,and he asked if the intent was to change the dual left turn lane to a single lane. Mr.
Messner said that was not the intent as the comparison was going from a single to a dual. Mayor Grafos
said he has seen people try to get into that one left turn lane and end up right next to a truck; said he feels
it is a problem and would like a dual left turn off Thierman, which is option #1. Councilmember Hafner
stated that it was just one person who started all this, and feels we need to do whichever option is best.
Councilmember Bates said Mr. Messner's recommendation is to leave the configuration as it is; that this
is the third report Council has heard on this and all recommendations seem to be the same; that a lot of
time and effort have been spent on this and he said he wondered what changed since 2012; said he feels
we don't have more traffic, there has been no increase in crashes, and he asked if we are getting
complaints. Mr. Messner said he is not aware of any complaints. Councilmember Bates said he feels
Council needs to take the recommendations of the experts and not waste any more time on this issue.
Councilmember Hafner said he does not understand why Council is not seriously considering the safety
factor of people in this community, and that to keep it the way it is now is far safer. Mr. Messner
confirmed that the existing configuration is safer than the other options as the other options increase the
chances of sideswipes. Deputy Mayor Woodard said he doesn't think Council would be voting for less
safety; and said perhaps after a change we could discover that the dual option is wrong; adding that
perhaps the software analysis is wrong; said he doesn't feel Council would be jeopardizing the public
safety by using a dual arrow. Discussion turned to the expense of the options as shown on Mr. Messner's
slides. Mr. Jackson said this issue is not slated for a motion tonight,but if there is Council consensus,the
matter could come back as a motion to select one of the options. Deputy Mayor Woodard asked about
having a trial period of perhaps ninety days to get statistical data; and Mr. Messner suggested such trial
period should be at least a year. By a show of hands, those favoring to bring this back as a motion
included Mayor Grafos, Deputy Mayor Woodard, and Councilmembers Pace and Higgins; those opposed
to bringing the matter back as a motion included Councilmembers Hafner, Wick and Bates. The matter
will be scheduled as a motion consideration for the September 9,2014 council meeting.
Mayor Grafos called for a recess at 8:00 p.m.;he reconvened the meeting at 8:06 p.m.

6. Goals and Priorities for Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (LTAC)—Mark Calhoun,Erik Lamb
Deputy City Manager Calhoun briefed Council on the information contained in his Request for Council
Action Form, which has a focus of the Council's goals and policies for the LTAC, and said he seeks
Council consensus to bring these forward through the lodging tax award process. Councilmember Wick
suggested removing #1 as it really isn't a goal, and Mr. Jackson noted that the list includes goals and
policies and said Council could remove it, but in future years, Council might find they are having that
discussion again. It was noted that the $30,000 set aside for CenterPlace, which is the subject of
goal/policy #1, will be shown as a reduction in the total amount of funds available for the LTAC grant
awards, as would the 5% allocation for funding new projects, activities and/or events. Councilmember
Bates said he preferred that #1 goal/policy remain; Councilmember Wick said that information could be
included in the information given to the committee, but said he doesn't feel it needs to be on the goals'
document. There was Council consensus to have it removed from the list.
7.Advance Agenda
Councilmember Wick asked about inviting the new GSI (Greater Spokane, Inc.) director to come to
Council to discuss GSI's new direction; and Mr. Jackson suggested waiting until after their funding
presentation September 2id. Council concurred. Deputy Mayor Woodard asked about the situation on
Carnahan and 8th where someone keeps running through a fence, and Mr. Jackson said he will have staff
research that issue.

The SMP applies to the following activities, however, they are allowed without a Shoreline
permit or Letter of Exemption:
A. Maintenance of existing landscaping (including paths and trails) or gardens within the
shoreline, including a regulated critical area or its buffer. Examples include mowing
lawns, weeding, harvesting and replanting of garden crops, pruning, and planting of non-
invasive ornamental vegetation or indigenous native species to maintain the general
condition and extent of such areas. Removing trees and shrubs within a buffer is not
considered a maintenance activity. See SVMC 21.50.260 for regulations regarding
vegetation removal. Excavation, filling, and construction of new landscaping features
are not considered a maintenance activity and may require a shoreline permit or letter of
exemption.
B. Minor maintenance and/or repair of lawfully established structures that do not involve
additional construction, earthwork, or clearing. Examples include painting, trim or facing
replacement, re-roofing, etc. Construction or replacement of structural elements is not
covered in this provision, but may be covered under an exemption in SVMC
21.50.110(B).
C. Cleaning canals, ditches, drains, wasteways, etc. without expanding their original
configuration is not considered additional earthwork, as long as the cleared materials are
placed outside the shoreline jurisdiction, wetlands, and buffers.
D. Creation of unimproved private trails that do not cross streams or wetlands and which
are less than two feet wide and do not involve placement of fill or grubbing of vegetation.
E. Planting of native vegetation.
F. Noxious weed control outside of buffers pursuant to SVMC 21.50.110(M) except for area
wide vegetation removal/grubbing.
G. Noxious weed control within vegetative buffers, if the criteria listed below is met. Control
methods not meeting these criteria may still apply for a restoration exemption, or other
authorization as applicable:
1. Hand removal/spraying of individual plants only; and
2. No area-wide vegetation removal/grubbing.
H. Pruning, thinning, or dead or hazardous tree removal pursuant to SVMC 21.50.260(C).

substantial development unless the use or development is specifically exempt pursuant
to SVMC 21.50.090 or 21.50.110.
B. Process - Shoreline Substantial Development Permits shall be processed as a Type II
review pursuant to SVMC 17.80 Permit Processing Procedures, subject to the
exceptions set forth in SVMC 21.50.050.
C. Decision Criteria - A Shoreline Substantial Development Permit may be issued when all
applicable requirements of the SMA, WAC 173-27, and the SMP have been met.
City of Spokane Valley I Shoreline Master Program Regulations, September 9, 2014 City Council Draft
21.50.110 Exemptions from shoreline substantial development permit.
The activities listed below are exempt from the requirement to obtain a Shoreline Substantial
Development Permit pursuant to WAC 173-27-040. These activities still require a letter of
exemption and may require a Shoreline Conditional Use Permit, Shoreline Variance, or other
development permits from the City or other agencies.
If any part of a proposed development is not eligible for a Letter of Exemption, then a Shoreline
Substantial Development Permit is required for the entire proposed development project.
Exemptions shall be construed narrowly. Only those developments that meet the precise terms
of one or more of the listed exemptions may be granted exemptions from the Shoreline
Substantial Development Permit.
A. Any development of which the total cost or fair market value does not exceed $6,416 or
as adjusted by the State Office of Financial Management, if such development does not
materially interfere with the normal public use of the water or Shorelines of the State.
For purposes of determining whether or not a Shoreline Substantial Development Permit
is required, the total cost or fair market value shall be based on the value of
development as defined in RCW 90.58.030(2)(c). The total cost or fair market value of
the development shall include the fair market value of any donated, contributed, or found
labor, equipment, or materials.
B. Normal maintenance or repair of existing legally-established structures or developments,
including damage by accident, fire, or elements.
1. Normal maintenance includes those usual acts to prevent a decline, lapse, or
cessation from a lawfully established condition.
2. Normal repair means to restore a development to a state comparable to its
original condition, including but not limited to its size, shape, configuration,
location, and external appearance, within a reasonable period after decay or
partial destruction, except where repair causes substantial adverse effects to the
shoreline resource or environment.
3. Replacement of a structure or development may be authorized as repair where
such replacement is:
a. The common method of repair for the type of structure or development
and the replacement structure or development is comparable to the
original structure or development including but not limited to its size,
shape, configuration, location, and external appearance; and
b. The replacement does not cause substantial adverse effects to shoreline
resources or environment.
C. Construction of a normal protective bulkhead common to residential lots:
1. A normal protective bulkhead includes those structural and nonstructural
developments installed at or near, and parallel to, the OHWM for the sole
purpose of protecting an existing residence and appurtenant structures from loss
or damage by erosion.
2. A normal protective bulkhead is not exempt if constructed for the purpose of
creating dry land. When a vertical or near vertical wall is being constructed or
reconstructed, not more than one cubic yard of fill per one foot of wall may be
used as backfill.
3. When an existing bulkhead is being repaired by construction of a vertical wall
fronting the existing wall, it shall be constructed no further waterward of the
existing bulkhead than is necessary for construction of new footings. When a
City of Spokane Valley I Shoreline Master Program Regulations, September 9, 2014 City Council Draft
bulkhead has deteriorated such that an OHWM has been established by the
presence and action of water landward of the bulkhead then the replacement
bulkhead must be located at or near the actual OHWM.
4. Beach nourishment and bioengineered erosion control projects may be
considered a normal protective bulkhead when any structural elements are
consistent with the above requirements and when the project has been approved
by the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW).
D. Emergency construction necessary to protect property from damage by the elements.
An "emergency" is an unanticipated and imminent threat to public health, safety, or the
environment that requires immediate action within a time too short to allow full
compliance with Chapter 21.50.
1. Emergency construction does not include development of new permanent
protective structures where none previously existed. Where new protective
structures are deemed by the Director to be the appropriate means to address
the emergency situation, upon abatement of the emergency situation the new
structure shall be removed or any permit that would have been required, absent
an emergency, pursuant to chapter 90.58 RCW, WAC 173-27, or the SMP, shall
be obtained.
2. All emergency construction shall be consistent with the policies and requirements
of chapter 90.58 RCW and the SMP. As a general matter, flooding or other
seasonal events that can be anticipated and may occur but that are not imminent
are not an emergency.
E. Construction or modification of navigational aids such as channel markers and anchor
buoys.
F. Construction on shorelands by an owner, lessee, or contract purchaser of a single-family
residence or appurtenance for their own use or for the use of their family, which
residence does not exceed a height of 35 feet above average grade level, and which
meets all requirements of the City, other than requirements imposed pursuant to chapter
90.58 RCW. Construction authorized under this subsection shall be located landward of
the OHWM.
G. Construction of a dock, including a community dock, designed for pleasure craft only, for
the private non-commercial use of the owner, lessee, or contract purchaser of a single-
family or multiple-family residence. A dock is a landing and moorage facility for
watercraft and does not include recreational decks, storage facilities, or other
appurtenances. This exception applies when the fair market value of the dock does not
exceed $20,000, but if subsequent construction having a fair market value exceeding
$2,500 occurs within five years of completion of the prior construction, the subsequent
construction shall be considered a substantial development.
H. Operation, maintenance, or construction of canals, waterways, drains, reservoirs, or
other facilities that now exist or are hereafter created or developed as a part of an
irrigation system for the primary purpose of making use of system waters, including
return flow and artificially stored ground water from the irrigation of lands.
The marking of property lines or corners on state-owned lands, when such marking does
not significantly interfere with normal public use of the surface of the water.
City of Spokane Valley I Shoreline Master Program Regulations, September 9, 2014 City Council Draft
J. Operation and maintenance of any system of dikes, ditches, drains, or other facilities
existing on September 8, 1975, which were created, developed, or utilized primarily as a
part of an agricultural drainage or diking system.
K. Any project with a State Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council certification from the
governor pursuant to RCW 80.50.
L. Site exploration and investigation activities that are prerequisite to preparation of an
application for development authorization under this chapter, if:
1. The activity does not interfere with the normal public use of surface waters;
2. The activity will have no significant adverse impact on the environment including
but not limited to fish, wildlife, fish or wildlife habitat, water quality, and aesthetic
values;
3. The activity does not involve the installation of any structure, and upon
completion of the activity the vegetation and land configuration of the site are
restored to conditions existing before the activity; and
4. The Applicant first posts a performance surety acceptable to the City to ensure
that the site is restored to pre-existing conditions.
M. Removing or controlling aquatic noxious weeds, as defined in RCW 17.26.020, through
the use of an herbicide or other treatment methods applicable to weed control published
by the Department of Agriculture or Ecology jointly with other state agencies under RCW
43.21 C.
N. Watershed restoration projects as defined in WAC 173.27.040(2)(o). The Director shall
determine if the project is substantially consistent with the SMP and notify the Applicant
of such determination by letter.
O. A public or private project that is designed to improve fish or wildlife habitat or fish
passage as reviewed by WDFW and all of the following apply:
1. The project has been approved in writing by the WDFW;
2. The project has received hydraulic project approval by the WDFW pursuant to
chapter 77.55 RCW; and
3. The Director has determined that the project is substantially consistent with the
SMP and shall notify the Applicant of such determination by letter.
21.50.120 Letter of exemption.
A. The proponent of an activity exempt from a Shoreline Substantial Development Permit
shall apply for a Letter of Exemption. All activities exempt from the requirement for a
Shoreline Substantial Development Permit shall use reasonable methods to avoid
impacts to critical areas within the shoreline jurisdiction. Being exempt from the
requirements for a Shoreline Substantial Development Permit does not give authority to
degrade a critical area, or shoreline, or ignore risk from natural hazards.
B. The Director shall review the Letter of Exemption request to verify compliance with the
SMP and shall approve or deny such Letter of Exemption.
C. If a Letter of Exemption is issued, it shall be sent to Ecology, the Applicant, and a copy
retained by the City.
City of Spokane Valley I Shoreline Master Program Regulations, September 9, 2014 City Council Draft
D. A Letter of Exemption may contain conditions and/or mitigating conditions of approval to
achieve consistency and compliance with the provisions of the SMP and the SMA.
E. A denial of a Letter of Exemption shall be in writing and shall list the reason(s) for the
denial.
21.50.130 Shoreline conditional use permit.
A. Classification Criteria - Shoreline conditional uses are those uses within the shoreline
jurisdiction identified in Table 21.50-1 Shoreline Use Table, which require a Shoreline
Conditional Use Permit.
B. Unclassified uses not specifically identified in Table 21.50-1 may be authorized through
a Shoreline Conditional Use Permit, provided the Applicant can demonstrate consistency
with the requirements of SVMC 21.50.
C. Process - A Shoreline Conditional Use Permit shall be processed as a Type II review
pursuant to SVMC 17.80 Permit Processing Procedures. The Director shall be the final
authority for the City, whose recommendation is then forwarded to Ecology. Ecology
shall have final approval authority pursuant to WAC 173-27-200.
D. Decision Criteria - The Director's decision on a conditional use shall be based upon the
criteria set forth in SVMC 19.150.030 and 21.50.060 Conditions and Requirements,
together with the criteria established below. The Applicant shall demonstrate to the
satisfaction of the Director that the development meets all of the following criteria:
1. The use is consistent with the policies of RCW 90.58.020;
2. The use will not interfere with the normal public use of public shorelines;
3. The use of the site and design of the project is compatible with other permitted
uses in the area;
4. The use will cause no significant adverse effects to the shoreline environment
designation in which it is located; and
5. The public interest will suffer no substantial detrimental effect.
E. Consideration shall be given to the cumulative impact of additional requests for like
actions in the area. For example, if Shoreline Conditional Use Permits were granted for
other developments in the area where similar circumstances exist for similar uses and
impacts, the total cumulative effect of the conditional uses shall also remain consistent
with the policies of RCW 90.58.020 and shall not produce substantial adverse effects to
the shoreline environment.
F. The burden of proving that the project is consistent with the applicable criteria shall be
upon the Applicant.
21.50.140 Shoreline variance.
A. The purpose of a Shoreline Variance is to grant relief to specific bulk or dimensional
requirements set forth in SVMC 21.50 where extraordinary or unique circumstances
exist relating to the property such that the strict implementation of the standards would
impose unnecessary hardships on the Applicant, or thwart the policies set forth in the
SMA and the SMP.
B. When a development or use is proposed that does not meet requirements of the bulk,
dimensional, and/or performance standards of the SMP, such development may only be
City of Spokane Valley I Shoreline Master Program Regulations, September 9, 2014 City Council Draft
authorized by approval of a Shoreline Variance, even if the development or use does not
require a Shoreline Substantial Development Permit.
C. Process - A Shoreline Variance shall be processed as a Type II review pursuant to
SVMC 17.80 Permit Processing Procedures. Each request for a Shoreline Variance
shall be considered separately and prior to any decision on a development application.
Any decision to approve or conditionally approve the development will include and
specifically cite only those variances approved for inclusion with the project.
D. When a Shoreline Variance is requested, the Director shall be the final authority for the
City. The Director's determination shall be provided to Ecology for review. Ecology shall
have final approval authority of Shoreline Variances pursuant to RCW 90.58.140(10).
E. Decision Criteria - To qualify for a Shoreline Variance, the following shall be required:
1. Demonstrate compliance with the criteria established in SVMC 21.50.060
Authorization Decisions - Basis for Action.
2. A Shoreline Variance request for a development or use located landward of the
OHWM, or landward of any wetland shall cite the specific standard or condition
from which relief is requested and be accompanied by evidence that
demonstrates the variance is consistent with all of the items below:
a. That the strict application of a standard precludes, or significantly
interferes with, reasonable use of the property;
b. That the hardship described in subsection (a) is specifically related to the
property, and is a result of unique natural or physical conditions, such as
irregular lot shape, size, or natural features which do not allow compliance
with the standard. The site constraint shall not be the result of a deed
restriction, a lack of knowledge of requirements involved when the property
was acquired, or other actions resulting from the proponent's own actions;
c. The project is generally compatible with other permitted or authorized uses
in the project area, with uses planned for the area under the
Comprehensive Plan and the SMP, and will not cause adverse impacts to
the area;
d. The requested variance would not constitute a grant of special privilege
not enjoyed by other properties in the area, and the variance is the
minimum necessary to afford the requested relief; and
e. That the public interest will suffer no substantial detrimental effect.
3. A Shoreline Variance request for a development or use located waterward of the
OHWM, or within any wetland shall cite the specific standard or condition from
which relief is requested and be accompanied by evidence that demonstrates the
variance is consistent with all of the items below:
a. That the strict application of a standard would preclude all reasonable use
of the property;
b. That the proposal is consistent with the criteria established under
subsection (2)(b) through (e) of this section; and
c. That the public rights of navigation and use of the shorelines will not be
adversely affected.
4. In the granting of any Shoreline Variance, consideration shall be given to the
cumulative impact of additional requests for like variances in the area. For
example, if Shoreline Variances were granted to other developments and/or uses
in the area where similar circumstances exist, the total of the variances shall also
City of Spokane Valley I Shoreline Master Program Regulations, September 9, 2014 City Council Draft
remain consistent with the policies of the SMA and SMP and shall not cause
substantial adverse impacts to the shoreline environment.
F. The burden of proving that a proposed variance meets the criteria of the SMP and WAC
173-27-170 shall be on the Applicant. Absence of such proof shall be a basis for denial
of the application.
21.50.150 Nonconforming development.
A. Classification Criteria—A use, structure, appurtenant structure, or lot is nonconforming if
it was legally established but is inconsistent with a subsequently adopted regulation or
regulations. Lawful uses, structures, appurtenant structures, and lots that are deemed
nonconforming are subject to the provision of this section.
B. Process and Decision Criteria
1. Decisions on projects that require review under this section shall be made
pursuant to SVMC 21.50.060 Authorization Decisions - Basis for Action and the
following criteria.
2. Legal nonconforming uses and structures shall be allowed to continue with no
additional requirements except as otherwise addressed in this section.
3. Nonconforming Uses.
a. Additional development of any property on which a nonconforming use
exists shall require that all new uses conform to the SMP.
b. Intensification or expansion of nonconforming uses that will not result in
an increase of nonconformity shall be allowed and will be processed
under these nonconforming provisions as a Type II review, pursuant to
SVMC Title 17.80 Permit Processing Procedures.
c. Change of ownership, tenancy, or management of a nonconforming use
shall not affect its nonconforming status provided that the use does not
change or intensify.
d. If a nonconforming use is converted to a conforming use, a
nonconforming use may not be resumed.
e. Conversion from one nonconforming use to another may only be
approved through a Shoreline Conditional Use Permit pursuant to SVMC
21.50.130(E) if the following additional criteria are met:
The property is located within a residential or conservancy
shoreline environment;
ii. The replacement use is either of a similar intensity to the previous
nonconforming use, or is more conforming with the intent of the
applicable Shoreline Environment Policies; and
iii. The impacts to the shoreline ecological functions from the existing
use are reduced by changing the use.
f. When the operation of a nonconforming use is discontinued or
abandoned for a period of 12 consecutive months, the nonconforming use
rights shall expire and the future use of such property shall meet all
current applicable regulations of the SMP.
g. If a conforming building housing a nonconforming use is damaged, the
use may be resumed at the time the building is repaired, provided a
permit application for the restoration is received by the City within 12
months following said damage.
City of Spokane Valley I Shoreline Master Program Regulations, September 9, 2014 City Council Draft
h. Normal maintenance and repair of a structure housing a nonconforming
use may be permitted provided all work is consistent with the provisions
of the SMP.
Legally established residences are considered conforming uses.
4. Nonconforming Structures.
a. A nonconforming structure may be maintained or repaired, provided such
improvements do not increase the nonconformity of such structure and
are consistent with the remaining provisions of the SMP.
b. Alterations to legal nonconforming structures that:
Will result in an increase of nonconformity to the structures,
including expanding within the buffer, may be allowed under a
Shoreline Variance pursuant to SVMC 21.50.140; or
ii Do not increase the existing nonconformity and will otherwise
conform to all other provisions of SVMC 21.50 are allowed without
additional review.
c. A nonconforming structure that is moved any distance within the shoreline
jurisdiction shall be brought into conformance with the SMP.
d. A damaged nonconforming structure may be reconstructed or replaced,
regardless of the amount of damage if:
The rebuilt structure or portion of structure does not expand or
modify the original footprint or height of the damaged structure
unless:
(1). The expansion or modification does not increase
the degree of nonconformity with the current
regulations; and
(2). The reconstructed or restored structure will not
cause additional adverse effects to adjacent
properties or the shoreline environment;
ii. It is not relocated except to increase conformity or to increase
ecological function, in which case the structure shall be located in
the least environmentally damaging location possible;
iii. The permit application to restore the development is made within
12 months of the date the damage occurred; and
iv. Any residential structures, including multi-family structures, may
be reconstructed up to the size, placement, and density that
existed prior to the damage, so long as other provisions of the
SMP are met.
5. Nonconforming Lots. Legally established nonconforming, undeveloped lots
located landward of the OHWM are buildable, provided that all new structures or
additions to structures on any nonconforming lot must meet all setback, height,
and other construction requirements of the SMP and the SMA.
21.50.160 Minor revisions to approved uses or developments.
A. Classification Criteria - Minor revisions to a project that have been approved under a
shoreline permit are allowed in certain circumstances.
1. Changes that are not substantive are not required to obtain a revision and may
be allowed as part of the original shoreline permit. Examples include, but are not
limited to, minor changes in facility orientation or location, minor changes in
structural design that do not change the height or increase ground floor area, and
minor accessory structures such as equipment covers or small sheds near the
main structure.
City of Spokane Valley I Shoreline Master Program Regulations, September 9, 2014 City Council Draft
2. Substantive changes are those that materially alter the project in a manner that
relates to its conformance with the shoreline permit and SMP requirements.
Such changes may be approved as a minor revision if:
a. The Director determines that the proposed revision and all previous
revisions are within the scope and intent of the original shoreline permit;
b. The use authorized with the original shoreline permit does not change;
c. The project revision does not cause additional significant adverse
environmental impacts;

dock, or swimming float construction may be increased by 10 percent
from the provisions of the original shoreline permit;
b. Lot coverage and height approved with the original shoreline permit may
be increased a maximum of 10 percent if the proposed revisions do not
exceed the requirements for height or lot coverage pursuant to SVMC
21.50.220 Dimensional Standards and SVMC Title 19 Zoning
Regulations; and
c. Landscaping may be added to a project without necessitating an
application for a new shoreline permit if the landscaping is consistent with
permit conditions (if any) and SVMC 21.50.
4. Substantive changes which cannot meet these requirements shall require a new
shoreline permit. Any additional shoreline permit shall be processed under the
applicable terms of this chapter.
B. Process - Requests for minor revisions to existing shoreline permits shall be processed
as a Type I review, pursuant to SVMC Title 17.80 Permit Processing Procedures.
Parties of record to the original shoreline permit shall be notified of the request for
revision, although a comment period is not required. A minor revision for a project within
shoreline jurisdiction shall follow state filing, appeal, and approval standards pursuant to
WAC 173-27-100 Revisions to Permits.
C. Decision Criteria - Decisions on minor revisions shall be pursuant to SVMC 21.50.060
Authorization Decisions— Basis for Action.
21.50.170 Enforcement.
A. Enforcement of the SMP, including the provisions of SVMC 21.50, shall be pursuant to
SVMC 17.100. Nothing herein or within SVMC 17.100 shall be construed to require

including but not limited to the Spokane Valley Municipal Code, the Spokane
Valley Comprehensive Plan, the Spokane Valley Street Standards, and the
Spokane Regional Stormwater Manual, as adopted or amended.
2. All permitted and exempt projects within the shoreline jurisdiction shall ensure
that the no net loss of ecological functions standard is met. SVMC 21.50.210 No
Net Loss and Mitigation Sequencing and SVMC 21.50.260 Shoreline Vegetation
Conservation contain appropriate methods to achieve no net loss of shoreline
ecological function. The City may also condition project dimensions, location of
project components on the site, intensity of use, screening, parking requirements,
and setbacks, as deemed appropriate.
3. All shoreline uses and modifications shall obtain all necessary permits from the
appropriate local, state, and federal agencies and shall operate in compliance
with all permit requirements.
4. Deviations from regulations may be granted through a Shoreline Variance, which
requires approval by both the City and Ecology. Shoreline modifications listed in
City of Spokane Valley I Shoreline Master Program Regulations, September 9, 2014 City Council Draft
Table 21.50-2 as "prohibited" are not eligible for consideration as a Shoreline
Variance.
5. New projects, including the subdivision of land and related construction of single-
family residences, are prohibited when the use or development requires
structural flood hazard reduction or other structural stabilization measures within
the shoreline to support the proposed or future development.
6. When a proposal contains two or more use activities, including accessory uses,
the most restrictive use category shall apply to the entire proposal.
7. Structures, uses, and activities shall be designed and managed to minimize
blocking, reducing, or adversely interfering with the public's visual access to the
water and the shorelines from public lands which are within the shoreline
jurisdiction and excluding public roads.
8. Structures and sites shall be designed with landscaping, vegetated buffers,
exterior materials, and lighting that are aesthetically compatible with the shoreline
environment.
9. When a study is required to comply with SVMC 21.50, it shall be performed by
Qualified Professional registered in the State of Washington.
10. All clearing and grading activities shall comply with SVMC 24.50 Land Disturbing
Activities. Adherence to the following is required during project construction:
a. Materials adequate to immediately correct emergency erosion situations
shall be maintained on site;
b. All debris, overburden, and other waste materials from construction shall
be disposed of in such a manner so as to prevent their entry into a water
body. Such materials from construction shall not be stored or disposed of
on or adjacent to Shorelines of the State;
c. The shoreline buffer shall be clearly marked on the ground prior to and
during construction activities to avoid impacts to the buffer; and
d. Infrastructure used in, on, or over the water shall be constructed using
materials that do not contaminate the water or interfere with navigation.
B. The City may consult with agencies with expertise or jurisdiction over the resources
during the review of any permit or process to assist with analysis and identification of
appropriate performance measures that adequately safeguard shoreline and critical
areas.
C. The Director may consult with a Qualified Professional to review a critical areas report
when City staff lack the resources or expertise to review these materials. The City may
require the Applicant to pay for or reimburse the City for the consultant fees.
21.50.190 Shoreline uses table.
A. Uses and activities are categorized within each shoreline environment as allowed,
permitted, conditional use, or prohibited, as defined in this section. This priority system
determines the applicable permit or process, administrative requirements, and allows
activities that are compatible with each shoreline designation. Procedures and criteria
for obtaining a Shoreline Substantial Development Permit, Letter of Exemption,
Shoreline Conditional Use Permit, and Shoreline Variance are set forth in SVMC
21.50.040. These uses shall also meet the requirements of SVMC Title 19 Zoning
Regulations.
B. The following terms shall be used in conjunction with Shoreline Use and Modification
Tables provided in SVMC 21.50.190 and SVMC 21.50.200.
City of Spokane Valley I Shoreline Master Program Regulations, September 9, 2014 City Council Draft
Allowed Use: These are uses that are exempt from the shoreline permit review process
and do not require submittal of a Shoreline Substantial Development Permit or
Letter of Exemption application. Projects or uses shall be reviewed to ensure
that all requirements contained in SVMC 21.50 are met. Building permit
applications or site plans are the general method of review.
Permitted Use: These are uses which are preferable and meet the policies of the
particular shoreline environment designation. They require submittal of a
Shoreline Substantial Development Permit or a Letter of Exemption application.
An exemption is subject to an administrative approval process; a Shoreline
Substantial Development Permit requires public notice, comment periods, and
filing with Ecology.
Conditional Use: A Shoreline Conditional Use Permit is intended to allow for flexibility
and the exercise of judgment in the application of regulations in a manner
consistent with the policies of the SMA and the SMP.
Prohibited: These are uses which are viewed as inconsistent with the definition, policies,
or intent of the shoreline environmental designation. For the purposes of the
SMP, these uses are considered inappropriate and are not authorized under any
permit or process.
Table 21.50-1 - Shoreline Uses, below, shall be used to determine the permit or process
required for specific shoreline uses and activities within the shoreline jurisdiction.

21.50.520 Wetlands - Shoreline Critical Area Regulations.
A. Applicability. This section applies to all uses, activities, and structures within or adjacent
to wetlands, unless specifically exempted by SVMC 21.50.480.
B. Designation, delineation, and classification.
1. Wetlands are those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or ground
water at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal
circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in
saturated soil conditions. Wetlands generally include, but are not limited to,
swamps, marshes, bogs, ponds, and similar areas. Wetlands do not include
those artificial wetlands intentionally created from non-wetland sites, including,
but not limited to, irrigation and drainage ditches, grass-lined swales, canals,
detention facilities, wastewater treatment facilities, and landscape amenities, or
those wetlands created after July 1, 1990 that were unintentionally created as a
result of the construction or a road, street, or highway. Wetlands may include
those artificial wetlands intentionally created from non-wetland areas to mitigate
the conversion of wetlands.
2. Identification of wetlands and delineation of their boundaries shall be determined
through a field investigation by a Qualified Professional in accordance with the
1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual and the Regional
Supplement to The Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Arid West
Region (September 2008). Wetland delineations are valid for five years, after
which the City shall determine whether a revision or additional assessment is
necessary.
3. Classification. Wetlands shall be rated by a Qualified Professional according to
the Ecology wetland rating system as set forth in the Washington State Wetland
Rating System for Eastern Washington (Ecology Publication #04-06-015,
City of Spokane Valley I Shoreline Master Program Regulations, September 9, 2014 City Council Draft
November 2010 as adopted or amended). The wetland categories are generally
defined as follows:
a. Category I (scores of 70 points or more): Wetlands that perform many
functions very well. These wetlands are those that:
Represent a unique or rare wetland type;
ii. Are more sensitive to disturbance than most wetlands;
iii. Are relatively undisturbed and contain ecological attributes that
are impossible to replace within a human lifetime; or
iv. Provide a high level of function.
b. Category II (scores between 51-69 points): Forested wetlands in the
floodplains of rivers or wetlands that perform functions well.
c. Category III (scores between 30-50 points): Wetlands that have a
moderate level of functions. These wetlands have been disturbed in
some way and are often less diverse or more isolated from other natural
resources in the landscape than Category II wetlands.
d. Category IV (scores fewer than 30 points): These wetlands have the
lowest level of functions and are often heavily disturbed but have
important functions that need to be protected.
4. Wetland rating categories shall not change due to any illegal modifications.
C. Wetland buffers.
1. Applicability. These buffer provisions apply to all wetlands that:
a. Are not associated with riparian areas or buffers;
b. Do not contain habitat identified as essential for local populations of
priority species identified by WDFW or Natural Heritage plant species
identified by the WDNR;
c. Are not a vernal pool;
d. Are not an alkali wetland; and
e. Do not contain aspen stands.
2. Except as otherwise specified or allowed in SVMC 21.50.520(C)(1), wetland
buffers shall be retained in an undisturbed or enhanced condition.
3. Buffer widths.
a. All buffers widths shall be measured perpendicularly from the wetland
boundary as surveyed in the field.
b. The total buffer width shall be calculated by adding the standard and the
additional buffer widths together.
c. The standard buffer widths in Table 21.50 - 4 are based on the category
of wetland. In order to qualify for the standard buffer widths in Table 1,
the measures in Table 21.50 - 5 shall be implemented, where applicable,
to minimize the impacts of the adjacent land uses on the wetland(s).
d. Additional buffer widths listed in Table 1 shall be added to the standard
buffer widths based on the habitat score for the wetland.
Table 21.50-4: Wetland Buffer Requirements
Additional Buffer Additional Buffer Additional Buffer
Wetland Standard Buffer Width if Wetland Width if Wetland Width if Wetland
Category Width Scores 21-25 Scores 26-29 Scores >30
Habitat Points Habitat Points Habitat Points
Category I 100 feet Add 15 feet Add 45 feet Add 75 feet
Category II 75 feet Add 15 feet Add 45 feet Add 75 feet
City of Spokane Valley I Shoreline Master Program Regulations, September 9, 2014 City Council Draft
Category III 60 feet Add 30 feet Add 60 feet N/A
Category IV 40 feet N/A N/A N/A
4. Increased buffer widths.
a. If measures listed in Table 21.50-5 are not implemented, then the
standard buffer widths in Table 21.50-4 shall be increased by 33 percent.
b. Buffer widths may be increased on a case-by-case basis when the
wetland is used by a plant or animal species listed by the federal
government or the state as endangered, threatened, candidate, sensitive,
monitored, or documented priority species or habitats, or essential or
outstanding habitat for those species or has unusual nesting or resting
sites. The buffer increase should be determined by the Qualified
Professional in the critical areas report.
Table 21.50-5: Required Measures to Minimize Impacts to Wetlands
Disturbance Required Measures to Minimize Impacts
Lights • Direct lights away from wetland
Noise • Locate activity that generates noise away from wetland
• If warranted, enhance existing buffer with native
vegetation plantings adjacent to noise source
• For activities that generate relatively continuous,
potentially disruptive noise, such as certain heavy
industry or mining, establish an additional 10 foot
heavily vegetated buffer strip immediately adjacent to
the outer wetland buffer
Chemical Use • Establish covenants limiting use of pesticides within 150
feet of wetland
• Apply integrated pest management
Stormwater runoff • Route all untreated runoff away from wetland while
ensuring wetland is not dewatered
• Retrofit substandard stormwater facilities
• Prevent channelized flow that directly enters the buffer
• Infiltrate or treat, detain, and disperse into buffer new
runoff from impervious surfaces and new lawns
Pets and human disturbance • Use privacy fencing or plant dense,thorny vegetation to
delineate buffer edge and to discourage disturbance
using vegetation appropriate for this area
Dust • Use best management practices to control dust
Disruption of corridors or • Maintain connections to off-site areas that are
connections undisturbed
City of Spokane Valley I Shoreline Master Program Regulations, September 9, 2014 City Council Draft
Disturbance Required Measures to Minimize Impacts
Vegetation alteration • Protect and maintain native plant communities in buffers
5. Buffer averaging.
a. Buffer averaging to improve wetland protection may be allowed when all
of the following conditions are met:

affect its habitat functions and the buffer is increased adjacent to
the higher functioning area of habitat or more sensitive portion of
the wetland and decreased adjacent to the lower functioning or
less sensitive portion;
ii. The total area of the buffer after averaging is equal to the area
required without averaging; and
iii. The buffer at its narrowest point is not less than either 75 percent
of the required width or 75 feet for Category I and II, 50 feet for
Category III and 30 feet for Category IV, whichever is greater.
b. Buffer averaging to allow reasonable use of a parcel may be allowed
when all of the following are met:
There are no feasible alternatives to the site design that could be
accomplished without buffer averaging;
ii. The averaged buffer will not result in degradation of the wetland's
functions and values as demonstrated by a critical areas report;
iii. The total buffer area after averaging is equal or greater to the area
required without averaging; and
iv. The buffer at its narrowest point is not less than either 75 percent
of the required width or 75 feet for Category I and II, 50 feet for
Category III and 30 feet for Category IV, whichever is greater.
6. Signs and fencing.
a. Temporary.
The outer perimeter of wetland buffers and the clearing limits shall
be signed and fenced to ensure that no unauthorized intrusion will
occur during construction.
ii. Temporary signs and fencing shall be placed prior to beginning
permitted activities and maintained throughout construction.
b. Permanent.
The Director, at his/her sole discretion, may require installation of
permanent signs and/or fencing along the boundary of a wetland
or buffer.
ii. Permanent signs shall be made of an enamel-coated metal face
and attached to a metal post or another non-treated material of
equal durability. Signs, if required by the Director, shall be posted
at an interval not less than one per lot, and which shall be
maintained in perpetuity by the property owner. The obligation to
maintain permanent signs shall be recorded against the property
in a form acceptable to the City.

buffer areas will be included in mitigation calculations. Lawns, walkways,
driveways, and other mowed or paved areas shall be excluded from
buffer area calculations.
c. Credit/Debit Method. As an alternative to the mitigation ratios provided in
Table 21.50-6, the Director may allow mitigation based on the
"credit/debit" method developed by the Ecology in Calculating Credits and
Debits for Compensatory Mitigation in Wetlands of Eastern Washington:
Final Report (Ecology Publication #11-06-015, August 2012, as adopted
or amended).
2. Wetland mitigation banks.

may include portions of more than one adjacent drainage basin for
specific wetland functions.
d. When applying for a wetland mitigation bank, the Applicant shall prepare
a Wetland Mitigation Credit Use Plan that documents consistency with
these criteria and shows how the identified wetland type and associated
functions will be compensated for by purchase of the credits.
3. Design.
a. Design of wetland mitigation projects shall be appropriate for its
landscape position. Compensatory mitigation shall result in the creation,
restoration, or enhancement of a wetland that matches the geomorphic
setting of the site.
b. The design of a wetland that has a different Cowardin or
hydrogeomorphic classification than the impacted wetland may be
justified if supported by a demonstrated need for, or scarcity of, the
wetland type being designed.
4. Timing.
a. Compensatory mitigation is encouraged to be completed prior to activities
that will disturb wetlands.
b. Compensatory mitigation shall be completed no later than immediately
following disturbance and prior to use or occupancy of the action or
development. Construction of mitigation projects shall be timed to reduce
impacts to existing fisheries, wildlife, and flora.
c. The Director may authorize a one-time delay of mitigation when the
Applicant provides a compelling written rationale for the delay with
recommendations from a qualified wetland professional if the delay shall
not:

City of Spokane Valley I Shoreline Master Program City Council Draft Definitions—Appendix A-1 3
Native: For the purposes of this SMP,"native"means a plant or animal species that naturally occurs in
Spokane County,or occurred in Spokane County at the time of Euro-American exploration and
settlement,beginning in the early 19th century.
No net loss: The standard for protection of shoreline ecological functions established in RCW
36.70A.480 as adopted or amended, and as that standard is interpreted on an on-going basis by courts,the
Growth Management Hearings Board,or the Hearings Board. The concept of"no net loss" as used
herein,recognizes that any use or development has potential or actual,short-term or long-term impacts
which may diminish ecological function and that through application of appropriate development
standards and employment of mitigation measures in accordance with mitigation sequencing,those
impacts will be addressed in a manner necessary to assure that the end result will not cumulatively
diminish the shoreline resources and values as they currently exist. Where uses or development that
impact ecological functions are necessary to achieve other objectives of RCW 90.58.020,the no net loss
standard protects to the greatest extent feasible existing ecological functions and favors avoidance of new
impacts to habitat and ecological functions before implementing other measures designed to achieve no
net loss of ecological functions.

Ordinary high water mark(OHWM): The mark that will be found by examining the bed and banks
and ascertaining where the presence and action of waters are so common and usual, and so long continued
in all ordinary years, as to mark upon the soil a character distinct from that of the abutting upland,in
respect to vegetation as that condition exists on June 1, 1971, as it may naturally change thereafter,or as it
may change thereafter in accordance with permits issued by the City,provided that in any area where the
OHWM cannot be found,the OHWM adjoining freshwater shall be the line of mean high water.
Pier: A fixed platform over water used for moorage of recreational or commercial watercraft.
Priority habitats and species: Habitats and species designated by the Washington Department of Fish

quantity, such as impermeable surfaces and stormwater handling practices. Water quantity, for purposes
of the SMP,does not mean the withdrawal of groundwater or diversion of surface water pursuant to RCW
90.03.250 through 90.03.340.
Water-related use: A use or portion of a use which is not intrinsically dependent on a waterfront
location but whose economic viability is dependent upon a waterfront location because:
1. The use has a functional requirement for a waterfront location such as the arrival or
shipment of materials by water or the need for large quantities of water; or
2. The use provides a necessary service supportive of the water-dependent uses and the
proximity of the use to its customers makes its services less expensive and/or more
convenient.
Wetlands: Areas that are inundated or saturated by surface water or groundwater at a frequency and
duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support,a prevalence of vegetation
typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands do not include those artificial wetlands
intentionally created from non-wetland sites,including,but not limited to,irrigation and drainage ditches,
grass-lined swales,canals,detention facilities,wastewater treatment facilities,farm ponds, and landscape
amenities,or those wetlands created after July 1, 1990,that were unintentionally created as a result of the
construction of a road,street,or highway. Wetlands may include those artificial wetlands intentionally
created from non-wetland areas to mitigate the conversion of wetlands.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Motion Consideration: Thierman Traffic Analysis (between Sprague
and Appleway)
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: N/A
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Admin report June 3, 2014; Admin report June 24,
2014; Admin report August 26, 2014.
BACKGROUND: A concerned citizen requested the City review the lane assignments on
Thierman between Sprague and Appleway. Public Works/Traffic Engineering provided Council
with an informational memo containing a brief summary of traffic signal impacts on March 18,
2014, and on June 3, June 24 and August 26, made presentations to Council of the traffic
analyses which also included several alternatives for discussion.
Council concurred with staff to prepare a more detailed analysis of the Sprague/Thierman and
Appleway/Thierman intersections using the VISSIM traffic analysis software for two of the
options presented. The results of the detailed analyses performed at the study intersections for
existing conditions and the two options were presented to Council on August 26, 2014. The
options analyzed were:
• Existing Conditions;
• Option 1 — Modifying the northbound through lane to a shared through-left-turn lane; no
changes to Appleway/Thierman; and,
• Option 2 — Modifying the northbound approach to have dual left-turn lanes and a single
through lane; reducing the southbound left-turn lane length at Appleway/Thierman.
The above options were analyzed, from an operations perspective, with VISSIM traffic analysis
software. The VISSIM analyses revealed that the alternate lane configurations provide
additional queue storage for the northbound left-turn traffic volumes; however it degrades the
operations of both Sprague/Thierman and Appleway/Thierman intersections. The following
sections focus specifically on existing conditions (with installation of flashing yellow arrows at
Sprague/Thierman) in comparison to Option 1, as directed by Council on August 26, 2014.
Operations:
Vehicles traveling west on Sprague, which are 71% of the traffic through the Sprague/Thierman
intersection, will experience more delay above and beyond the existing conditions from
implementation of Option 1. The traffic signal progression along Sprague will also be negatively
impacted by the implementation of Option 1.
In other words, today's conditions allow for a westbound traveler to continue west without
stopping at Thierman during the peak hours. This is good signal progression. The
implementation of Option 1 will cause a traveler to stop at Thierman. This is bad progression
and also adds pollution to the air from stopping and going.
Page 1 of 4
Operations Summary:
Option 1 provides more queue storage for northbound traffic than existing conditions. Option 1
will cause more delay to travelers on Sprague than existing conditions. The majority of traffic
through the Sprague/Thierman intersection will experience added delay through implementation
of the option in comparison to existing conditions. Implementing the option will cause poor
signal progression leading to an increase in pollution from stopping at Thierman.
Blocking: The 24-hour video recorded on Tuesday, April 1, 2014, did not show blocking of the
Appleway/Thierman intersection. It is acknowledged that blocking may occur under the existing
lane configurations. The implementation of Option 1 will not guarantee the blocking concern will
be resolved. It is likely the utilization of the curb lane will increase and stacking will occur in both
lanes which may prevent trucks from making their maneuvers accordingly. Please see below for
examples of blocking with both existing conditions and Option 1.

Blocking Summary: Non-reoccurring blocking is said and believed to occur under existing
conditions. Non-reoccurring blocking may still occur with the implementation of Option 1. Niether
condition can guarantee the absence of irregular blocking.
Safety: A review of the crashes at Sprague/Thierman revealed that 36% of the crashes at the
intersection were the result of left-turn crashes. The installation of flashing yellow arrows (FYAs)
for the northbound approach would help mitigate these left-turn crashes with a reduction of 20%
of left-turn crashes. In addition, FYA are commonly used throughout the City to allow permissive
and protective left-turn operations. The installation of FYAs may also improve the operations of
the intersection as drivers are more aware of the FYA and are accustomed to its operations.
Page 2 of 4
The City currently has five arterial-to-arterial intersections with a dedicated turn lane next to an
option lane. These intersections are:
• University/Sprague — northbound approach (right-turn lane, shared through/right-turn
lane)
• Sullivan/Sprague —eastbound approach (left-turn lane, shared through/left-turn lane)
• Evergreen/Indiana —westbound approach (left-turn lane, shared through/left-turn lane)
• Argonne/Montgomery — westbound approach (left-turn lane, shared through/left-turn
lane)
• Mullan/Sprague— northbound approach (left-turn lane, shared through/left-turn lane)
The total sideswipe percentages, from 2008 through 2013, at each of the intersections are as
follows:
• University/Sprague—28% of total intersection crashes
• Sullivan/Sprague — 13% of total intersection crashes
• Evergreen/Indiana — 12% of total intersection crashes
• Argonne/Montgomery— 15% of total intersection crashes
• Mullan/Sprague —8% of total intersection crashes
Of these 5 intersections, none of the turn lanes enters into a trap lane. In fact, all of the inside
turning lanes connect to a dedicated through lane that continues for thousands of feet. If
Option 1 is implemented, a trap lane condition is created.
If Option 1 is implemented, crashes will increase at a minimum of 8% and as much as 28%
based on other intersections in the City with this lane configuration. It should be noted that the
increase in sideswipe crashes could be as much as 41% based on national data. From a safety
perspective, the creation of a dedicated left-turn lane adjacent to an option through/left-turn lane
as depicted in Option 1 will degrade the safety of the intersection from the current configuration.
Safety Summary: Option 1 will increase sideswipe crashes by a minimum of 8% and as much
as 41%. The installation of FYAs will reduce left-turn crashes by 20%, and sideswipes from the
left-turn movement will continue to be zero percent.
Summary and Recommendations: Although Option 1 provides additional queue storage for
the northbound left-turn movement, it is not guaranteed to prevent blocking at
Appleway/Thierman. Patrons may utilize the northbound curb lane more since it will also allow
for a left-turn thereby creating a larger problem for those trucks utilizing Thierman to travel from
Appleway to Broadway.
It is the recommendation of the Traffic Engineering Division that we proceed with installation of
the flashing yellow arrows (FYAs) to help mitigate the left-turn crashes and perhaps improve the
operations of the left-turn maneuvers. It is recommended that staff re-evaluate the intersection
performance in 8 to 12 months from an operational, blocking, and safety perspective and
compare to existing conditions. The approximate installation cost of the FYAs at the
Sprague/Thierman intersection is $6,000, plus County and City staff time for installation. Option
1 is not recommended due to operational and safety considerations documented above — the
additional queue storage does not outweigh the operational and safety aspects of the
intersection.
OPTIONS: 1) Approve the staff recommended FYA installation as presented, 2) Approve the
installation of Option 1, or 3) Take other appropriate action.
Page 3 of 4
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: I move to
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: 1) Staff recommendation is to install flashing yellow arrows
(FYAs) at the intersection of Sprague and Thierman for approximately $6,000; or 2) Option 1
installation is anticipated to cost approximately $14,000.
