EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this design effort was to develop a conceptual Master Development Plan for
combining a proposed new branch library with a new city owned park. The City of Spokane
Valley, partnering with the Spokane Valley Library District envisioned the creation of a
Placemaking' opportunity on property the city had recently acquired: an undeveloped, 8.4 acre
parcel of ground adjacent to the city's existing Balfour Park. The library's participation is
dependent upon the successful passage of a bond within the next five years.
The project approach was based on consistent guidance from a design steering committee and
ensuring public participation through several open design meetings. In addition to concept site
plans offered by the meeting participants, and based on the consultants' research and
experience with similar projects, recommendations and possible solutions for the arrangement
and siting of project components were offered for consideration. Consultation with other city
agencies such as the City Engineering Department, the City Traffic Engineer and the Spokane
Valley Fire Department allowed for regulatory concerns and requirements to be addressed.
Following the presentation of three conceptual master plan options, a consensus of opinion by
the public both from written comments and website responses, indicated a preference for a
Preferred Alternative plan that located the proposed library at the property's southwest quadrant
for the following major reasons:
• Maximum visual exposure and a presence related to Sprague Avenue
• Consideration for ease and safety of vehicular and pedestrian access
• Allowance for adequate parking and service related to the library
• Situating the library to provide for the most favorable transition to park space and
activities
Multiple park components were arranged to provide dual use and interaction with the library
while also providing public use space for gatherings, anticipated festivals, and other public
functions such as:
• Location of a park/library plaza that allowed for a secondary entrance to the library and
connected access to other activity areas and to a public performance amphitheater
• Identification of locations for significant public art and opportunities for historical or
cultural interpretation experiences
• Siting of added parking for park users that could double for library use during high
demand events
• Routing of walks, paths, and emergency access routes to allow for service to
performance/restroom facilities, pavilion/picnic shelter and other park elements
• Expansions or additions to existing Balfour Park activities
The review of final recommendations and acceptance of the Spokane Valley Park/Library
Conceptual Site Plan were solidified by the public's participation and response to an on-site
open house where people could walk the site and were physically oriented to components of the
proposed project layout. Based on the conclusions arrived at through the multiple meetings and
plan options developed, the review and approval of the Preferred Alternative, Concept Master
Plan by the Spokane Valley City Council occurred in October of 2013. Review and approval by
the Spokane Valley Library District occurred in early November, 2013.

PREFACE (Text taken from Request for Qualifications)
It is the intent of the City of Spokane Valley and Spokane County Library District to prepare a
Master Development Plan for property the City acquired adjacent to Balfour Park. Ultimately,
the property is intended to be developed as a city park with a new library sharing the site as a
major component of the plan. The 8.4 acre property is currently vacant, undeveloped and is
bordered by Sprague Avenue on the south, Herald St. on the west, Main Ave. on the north,
Balfour Park, and the Spokane Valley Fire Station to the east. The library building is tentatively
planned to be a 30,000 square foot single-level structure on 2.5 acres. There is potential for the
Spokane County Library District to acquire additional acreage, depending on final layout or
considerations for expansion, for a total of 3.5 acres. Opportunities to identify and develop
shared uses between the library and park such as parking and hardscape have been identified
as being important to the project, as well as the library and the park having frontage on Sprague
Avenue.
The park is envisioned to become a major community gathering place. Although not a complete
list, desirable park amenities have been preliminarily identified as: reading garden, public
market space, civic plaza and fountain, flag display/veterans' memorial, picnic shelter,
performance/gathering space, seasonal café, open space, walking paths, skatepark, and
locations for public art or sculpture. Opportunities to incorporate the existing Balfour Park
should be explored.
The design process should follow a "Placemaking" approach that promotes enthusiastic public
input, user observations, identification of needs, and community aspirations as critical steps in
producing spaces that promote public health and well-being. Public participation in the
development of the Master Plan is proposed to be an integral part of the process and is strongly
desired by the City and Library Board.
Ultimately, the adoption of an approved master plan that includes a new county library is hoped
to benefit the challenge of passing a bond in 2014 to construct the new library.

INTRODUCTION
The City of Spokane Valley incorporated March 31, 2003, and is currently the tenth largest city
in Washington, encompassing 38.5 square miles. Its current population is approximately 90,000.
The City is part of the larger Spokane metropolitan area of approximately 450,000. The City
generally considers itself to be a "contract" city, with many core services provided through
contracts with private or other public entities.
Spokane County Library District is a municipal corporation established by voters in 1942 under
provisions of RCW 27.12.040. An independent special purpose district, its sole purpose is to
provide public library services to the unincorporated county and the affiliated cities and towns of
Cheney, Deer Park, Fairfield, Latah, Medical Lake, Millwood, Rockford, Spangle, Spokane
Valley and Waverly (annexed to District); and Airway Heights (contracting with District).
Covering 1,700 square miles with 10 libraries serving more than 255,000 residents, Spokane
County Library District is the largest public library system in Spokane County and one of the 10
largest in the State of Washington. A five-member Board of Trustees appointed by Spokane
County Commissioners governs the District. A Board-appointed library director serves as chief
administrator.
The City of Spokane Valley has purchased approximately 8.4 acres adjacent to Balfour Park in
partnership with the District. The site is located at the northeast corner of Sprague and Herald
Road. This site is to be planned and developed as a combined park/library site.
This document is the result of a seven month, public involvement planning process initiated by
the City and Library District to develop a preferred conceptual master plan and cost estimate for
their combined use. The plan and cost estimate are intended to be used as a tool by the Library
District to organize and run a public bond for the new Library. Also, the City Parks and
Recreation Department will utilize it to update their Parks and Recreation Plan and to develop
an implementation strategy to be used for future Capital Projects Planning for funding. A seven
person steering committee was organized at the initial project kick off meeting in April 2013 and
was comprised of City, Library District Staff and influential members of the community. The
steering committee's charge was to provide direction for the design team throughout the design
process and to promote enthusiastic public input and user observations. The steering
committee helped set the parameters for the design by first developing a mission statement to
ensure the project meets the criteria of the original goals and objectives. The steering
committee was also instrumental assisting in conducting a series of public meetings to get the
necessary public input and involvement for the project. Once direction was then given, the AE
team developed a design process around three separate public meetings. The first public
meeting was held to present background information to the public, develop programming criteria
and engage in a public workshop. The design team took that information along with direction
from the steering committee to synthesize the concepts developed by the public at the
workshop and refine three very different concepts. These concepts were presented at the
second public meeting where the public was encouraged to comment on what they liked and did
not like about each concept. The design team took the comments/survey data back and further
refined the three concepts into a preferred plan by combining the best liked elements of each
plan into the one. That final plan was then presented to the public at an open house held on the
site so that the public could envision what the elements would look like on the site. The public
turnout was good and the general consensus was very positive and that the park and library will
be a much anticipated addition to the community.

MISSION STATEMENT
"Our mission is to develop a community gathering space that provides for flexible public spaces
and dynamic interactive experiences that maximize the indoor/outdoor relationships between
the park and library."

PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT
Public Meeting #1 - Workshop April 22, 2013: 67 citizens attended the workshop with 12 "staff"
of Parks, Library, Steering Committee and design team participating. Spokane County Library
District (SCLD) and Spokane Valley Parks Department kicked off the workshop by presenting
the background leading up to the intent of this plan. The existing Valley Branch Library was
originally built in 1955. The west side is original and the east side is an addition. The building
was remodeled in 1986 and is undersized for the community. Much needed parking surrounds
the building that prevents future additions.
An opportunity presented itself when the City acquired the 8.4 acre Sprague Avenue property
located in the heart of the Spokane Valley. In order to maximize investment in the community,
the SCLD and the Spokane Valley Parks and Recreation Department entered into a partnership
through an inter-local agreement to build a new library on the park site. The agreement was
intended to save money by sharing frontage and infrastructure costs. Additionally, the goal of
this partnership is to make the site a real centerpiece for the Valley, a once in a lifetime
opportunity to help define our community for the next 50-100 years. Parks and Libraries are
both real draws: places to learn, discover, play, build healthy communities and provide
community gathering spaces. SCLD put up a refundable deposit on the 2.5 acres and have five
years to raise money for the project. Before the SCLD asks the voters for bond money they
need to have a plan and its associated costs.
As part of its due diligence prior to purchase, the City commissioned a traffic study. One of the
main concerns from the traffic study was that the one-way Sprague Avenue westbound
presented a challenge for ingress and egress for the new library as well as multimodal
connections from the park site to other parts of the city.
The design team made a short presentation designed to define what is meant by "community
park" and illustrate the various park elements typically found in a community park. The team
then solicited options of appropriateness of these elements in this park from the public through
the use of photo boards showing a variety of park elements and design motifs. Members of the
public were asked to place a colored dot sticker on the elements and motifs that they preferred.
Using these dot boards and voting by a show of hands, public opinions were recorded and later
used to develop design concepts. Next, the group divided up into nine workshop groups with
team captains to develop concepts for the park and library site. Team captains were assigned
to present each of their team's concept to the entire group and record comments.

Public Meeting #2 - Design Presentation/Open House May 20, 2013: The meeting included
approximately 40 members of the general public and neighbors. A short slide show was used to
show the progress made by the design team in consolidating trends from the nine workshop
concepts developed during public meeting #1 into three distinctive conceptual plans. After the
slide presentation, the public was invited to move around the room and look at the plans that
were on display and speak with members of the design team about the specific design
elements. The public was then asked to fill out a survey questionnaire to explain what their
favorite concept was and why, and to provide additional comments on other design issues. The
survey was also provided on SurveyMonkey.com for those that were interested in taking the
online version at a more convenient time, or taking the survey during the meeting with laptop
computers that were provided. The next step in the process was to get input from the public and
collect survey data to further narrow down the three conceptual site plans into just one hybrid
plan. The next public meeting would present that hybrid plan and solicit input for any final
changes.

Public Meeting #3 - Open House September 12, 2013: The steering committee and design
team met on the new park/library site and set up tent structures where the proposed buildings
and amenities would be located within the park. Easels with a conceptual site plan and
character sketch boards were set up in the tents depicting the areas of the park the sketches
were intended to represent. The steering committee members were at the tents to answer
questions from the public about the park plan or individual elements. The individual site
elements were staked out on site and flagged so that the public could visualize the scale,
locations of the elements and their relationships to one another. Balloons were also used to
mark general locations of park elements. Approximately 75 members of the general public and
neighbors showed up for the open house. The general consensus of the public was very
favorable towards the preferred plan with several questions regarding the Library District plans
to run a bond issue next spring and build the new library.

CONCEPTUAL SITE PLAN
Concept A is the culmination of two diagonal building concepts that were developed in the first
public meeting workshop. This concept featured art, lighting and landscaping opportunities
directly adjacent to Sprague Avenue to promote views into the site and create an exciting
presentation of the building from Sprague Avenue. A casual grass amphitheater space is
centrally located for gatherings and intended as a summertime movie showing venue as well as
other informal miscellaneous civic activities and events. The children's reading garden is located
close to the library building and is intended to be a key component to the library reading
program and visual interactive extension of the library. The large picnic shelter shown in the
northeast quadrant of the park utilizes the existing Balfour Park open space and provides a
connection to the existing and expanded activity areas in Balfour Park. This picnic shelter is
intended to be rented out by the parks department for large groups and weddings similar to the
large shelter at Mirabeau Meadows. Views from within the library building are oriented
diagonally to capture the prominent vistas of the park and promote the indoor/outdoor
interactive relationship between the building and the park. The library building's predominant
north/south footprint is intended to preserve park space and efficiently utilize the parking space
adjacent to Herald Road. The small parking lot at the south end of Balfour Park is reorganized
and expanded to keep traffic at the south end of the park and reduce traffic that might otherwise
expand into the neighborhood along Main Ave. The most predominant feature of this concept is
the diagonal orientation of the civic gathering plaza space that extends from Sprague Avenue
towards the core of the site. The landscaping and site lighting enhance its prominence as a key
feature that will include the public market space as a highly visible hardscaped plaza. Flexibility
of vendor set up and versatility of the plaza space for a seasonal cafe and public gathering will
be instrumental for making this part of the park successful for the community. This scheme
maintains the neighborhood park component of the existing Balfour Park, adding a splash pad
and potential for a skate park.

Concept B was developed from a combination of diagrams presented at the first public meeting
featuring the library building sited at the corner of Sprague Avenue and Herald Road for high
visibility and accessibility. Concentrating the library site and civic plaza at the southwest corner
of the site was also intended to conserve open natural space in the park to be used as passive
recreation. The civic plaza, fountain and flag display/veterans' memorial are all located
diagonally in front of the building and close to Sprague Avenue to take advantage of views as
seen from one-way traffic headed west on Sprague Avenue. Parking and service are located
behind the building but are still maintained at the southern half of the park to keep traffic from
entering the neighborhood along Main Ave. The large group picnic shelter in this scheme is
located closer to the park parking lot, accessible from a drop off/roundabout for added
convenience of group usage. The public market is more flexible and informally located adjacent
to the civic plaza, relying on vendor tent set up mostly in the lawn areas and pedestrian
circulation, vendor access and service along the hardscape plaza space. A new splash pad is a
key element to be added to the play space in existing Balfour Park located adjacent to the
existing playground that is planned to be expanded to provide interaction with the splash pad.
The idea of a neighborhood skate park was also included in this scheme and is located at the
south end of existing Balfour Park near Balfour Road and the Fire Station. This scheme also
provides substantially more open/free play space to be enjoyed by the park users and maintains
most of the existing uses with some upgrades and additions to Balfour Park.

Concept C nestles the library building as an integral part of the surrounding neighborhood and
presents the building with a large iconic forecourt feature visible and accessible from Sprague
Ave. The forecourt features a meandering colored concrete element that represents the
Spokane River as it winds through the Spokane Valley. It includes natural landscape features
such as native rock boulders and native plantings to showcase public art, interpretive historic
exhibits and provides a stage for civic gathering and public market space. Undulating earthen
berms in the landscape provide interest and separation and screening from different
recreational uses, along with informal seating opportunities. Concrete seating is also provided
as part of the civic stage/informal amphitheater area that is incorporated into the forecourt area.
The multi-use shelter is centrally located in this scheme to provide flexible opportunities for a
variety of activities that surround it. The Veterans' Plaza is situated to provide the focal point
view from Dartmouth Street while keeping the location close to the library building for
event/ceremony support. The children's reading garden is an important part of this scheme and
is located near the large existing maple tree, east of the building and is also considered to be an
extension of the reading program. The proposed restroom building provides year round use.
Interconnecting paths provide access to all of the park features as well as emergency access to
key locations of the park. The primary consideration for this scheme is the idea that the library
building is a destination and does not need to be located close to Sprague Avenue for visual
wayfinding. The library should be placed into the neighborhood for the use of the neighborhood
and situated in a quiet, remote portion of the site. This building's location also takes advantage
of potential access off Herald Road and Main Avenue. Parking is provided at the perimeter of
the site to promote ease of vehicular access and maintain the integrity of the open space on the
site.

PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE
The preferred plan was the result of incorporating the best features of concepts A, B and C as
influenced by public input and comment at the Design Presentation/Open House conducted
May 20, 2013 and by follow-up data gathered electronically via the library web site. The
decision to locate the library building near Sprague Avenue in this concept was influenced by
Concept A that allows access from Herald Road, added visual prominence and ease of
ingress/egress to the parking facility. It was important to the neighborhood that this location for
the building also limit additional vehicular traffic into the neighborhood by keeping the access
location close to Sprague Avenue. The building has been shown again in this scheme with
multiple angles and clerestory glass intended to promote the dynamic between the building's
interior space and the park outside. Parking and service is limited to one side of the building so
the activities from within the building have potential to interact with the park from the other three
sides of the building. The iconic forecourt water feature from Concept C was incorporated into
the preferred alternative civic plaza including the meandering colored concrete river pattern and
native boulders to become a key site feature as seen from Sprague Avenue. The civic plaza
and forecourt primarily provides space for civic events, and farmers market activities as well as
providing a visual context for the building. The children's reading garden is still an important
feature for this scheme. Located near the large maple tree, it is associated with the children's
room in the library and is an outdoor extension of the reading program. The multi-use building
houses restrooms, stage and storage room and is centrally located in the park to become an
architectural focal point for the informal grass amphitheater. A separate park picnic shelter also
has architectural significance and is programmed as a rental facility for weddings, family
reunions and other large group gatherings. It is located with access to surrounding open space
and close proximity to the new splash pad and expanded playground. The veterans' monument
is also a prominent feature and centrally located in the park. It is intended to provide a space for
reflection rather than just a flag court. Upgrades to Balfour Park include a reorganized parking
lot limiting access onto Balfour Road, expansion of the play area, new splash pad and a new
basketball court with timed sports lighting. Site lighting was identified by the community as
being an important component to the park. It was noted as being desirable for added security
and safety at night as well as providing, sports court lighting and accent lighting for architectural
features such as art and interpretive exhibits. The skate park was intentionally left out of this
scheme due to overwhelming comments from the community that it is not a desirable activity in
this park.

OPINION OF PROBABLE COST
This opinion of probable cost is intended to represent an order of magnitude cost for the park
and the library site work with 2013 prices and is not a guarantee of cost for services. The
estimate is based on project requirements obtained from the client, RSMeans Square Foot
Costs book and recent bid tabulations from BWA projects. Actual costs may change once
project elements are finalized or negotiated.
The unit costs shown are intended to include all material, labor, equipment and contractor's
overhead and profit to install the item.
A 10% contingency has been added to this estimate and includes intangibles not yet realized by
the conceptual nature of the drawings. Washington State Sales Tax is also estimated as well as
Architectural/Engineering Consulting Fees. However, actual fees could also change based on
negotiated scope of services and complexity of project elements.
Consideration for inflation should be included for each year beyond the prices shown on this
estimate.
