Item: Check all that apply: ❑ consent ❑ old business new business ❑ public hearing

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Administrative report on whether to add additional noise disturbance
provisions to the Criminal Code.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Ordinance SVMC 8.25.060
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: When the Council adopted the provisions relating to
noise violations on July 14, 2004, it asked staff to look at two additional issues: making the
noise regulations applicable on City right-of-way; and regulating blasting to certain hours and
days.
BACKGROUND: The two potential additions to the misdemeanor noise provisions relate to
applying the noise restrictions on City right-of-way, and to limit blasting to certain hours and
days.
Application to riqht-of-way - The current ordinance (attached for your convenience) states that
the noise provisions apply to private property. At the time it was adopted, the police were
asking for quick adoption of at least that portion due to numerous noise complaints from
citizens, and the police did not have any appropriate enforcement mechanism. In doing so, the
Council shelved the discussion of whether to make the same restrictions applicable to noises
emanating from City right-of-way. A cflncern is the excessive noise from a number of car
stereos. The City has received a number of complaints on this issue.
Consistent with other proposed regulatory measures that would affect known groups, staff sent
letters to potentially interested groups/entities so we could talk to them and find out if they had
particular concerns about the proposed regulation. Staff could not find a particular "car stereo
enthusiasts" group to send it to, so we sent a letter to what we believe to be all of the car stereo
dealers in the City asking them to relate the message to hobby groups or concerned citizens
they may know. Those letters were sent August 27, 2004, and we did not receive any response
at all.
Police Chief Walker has advised me that he would like to see this implemented.
Limitinq times for blastinQ - The current provisions under 8.25.060 state that blasting that is
allowed pursuant to Washington law shall only occur between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 10:00
p.m. Those limitations are A question was raised in early 2004 whether the City could limit the
hours in which blasting is allowed beyond those times. Pvly opinion is that the City can change
the times in which the activity is allowed, but if the use of #he property includes a land use permit
allowing the activity from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., the City cannot change the terms of that
contract, particularly to make the conducf criminal in nature. As such, I believe that if vre were
to make such a change, rt would only apply to new blasting activity.
I also talked to Mack Aguiar from Dept. of Labor and Industries, which is the state regulatory
agency for blasting. He advised that the 7:00 to 10:00 period is the industry standard across the
state and nation. He further advised that if we were to limit the time for blasting, it would drive
up overall construction costs requiring rock because the costs would go up for the mining
operations.
OPTIONS: Instruct staff to draft amendments to SVMC 8-25-060, or do nothing.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Instruct staff on whether either of these pofential
changes should be drafted into a proposed amended SVMC 8-25-060.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: None anticipated

Re: Recreation Programs; Operation of Outdoor Pools
Cc:
In planning for the 2005 summer program season, there are some basic organirational issues to
consider. This memo is intended io serve as the basis for general discussion on recreation
programs and aquatics (outdoor pools) scheduled for City Council on Tuesday, January 25.
Recreation Frograms
As you are know, the Recrcation Coordinator resigned i.n June 2004. Duc; to the short ti.mefiame, iti was not feasible to fill tktc position prior to the 2004 summer programs. In a pinch; Nve operated
the programs uith a se~~anal Recreation Coordinator. This was successful but not without its
minor problems. The programs (especially the Day Carup which runs 8 hourslday, 5 daysfweek),
require experienced, prafessional oversight on a daily basis. Parents expect, and reasonably so, a h.igh level of professional care for their children.
The follo,%ving is a list of the 2004 summer programs offered. In essence, we have successfully
operated two seasons of pilot pragrams. Now, I thinl: it is timely to revicw those afferings and
consider -Mhere we go from here.
Day Camp - Monday- Friday, 8AIV1-5PM for 9 weeks. .4ges 6-] 2
Average 29 children per day. ,
Play Camp - MondAy - Friday, 9f11vI-Noon for 2 weeks. Ages 3-6
Average 7 children per session
Indoor Yla,yground - Monday/Wednesday, 10-11A.M. Ages 4 and undcr
Average 22 children per session
Free Park Drop in Frogram - Monday-Friday, 9-12 and 1-4 Mission,
Edgecliff and Brown's Pazk
No registration but estunate 5-6 children per day.
Fol.lowing the summer season, I recommended that we leave the Recreation Coordinator position
unfilled. The basis of my recommendatian was that we were oFferi.ng programs in the summer
; only and it was dif'fcuh to.justif}, the positian in the "off' season. Now, as we contemplate the
" 2005 summer 4eason, it is necessttry to reconsider the filling af this position.
In order to deliver a level of eacellence in summer proerams, Ibelieve if rcquires a permanent
recreation professional that can bluld yeaj- upan year. However, as noted, experiencc also tells us
that the eeonomies of scale do nat support a full time position for summer-anly programs_
Three basic options are ofFered for consideration:
1. Pill the Recreation Coordinator posilion and offer a variety of year-round prosrams.
2. Fill the Recreation Coordinator position. Coutinue existing summer progratns, and utilize
the position to assist in the operation or Centerl'lace and other duties. Fill in with
ottier programs as may be approved in the future. In either option l or 2, I would seek io fill
the posiiian with an i.ndividual qualified in both recreation and aquatics.
3. Leave the position open and put recreation programs on hold uniil forma( long-range
plans are adopted.
Other Con.sideraiions
With the openi.ng of CenterPlace in the fall af 2005; the City will have iLs own space available
for recreation programs. If we choose to utilize CenterPlace for "in house" programs vs. space
r.ental only; this would further justify the Recreatian Coordinator position.
Continuance of our current offerings is not solely Uased on the. Recreation Coordinator position.
'T°he Department also examines the availability of other private and public Froviders. At this time,
there are other providers o£Fering sunilar services.
The I'arl:s and Recreation iviaster Plan Arill provide valuable insight. I hope to have some
preliminary community feedback to sbare at the January 25 meeking. Howcver, the timing is such
that we wrill not have a formal plan to guide us for the 2005 season.
Outdoor Pools
The City has receivcd one response to the 72equest for Qualifications for the operation of its three
outdoar pools. T'hat response is from the YivICA. You may recall that the nationally recognized
firai of Jeff'Ellis and Associates had expressed strong interest. I-iowever, at the final hour; they
. decided lo writhdraw. They stated that thcy felt it would be difficult to secure management ialeni
on a seasonal basis.
1 will be requesti.ng a propnsal from the YMCA and will estimate_ the cost of the City operating
the program. Also, if Spokane County w7ere to have a change in philosophy, they can still be
considered. As you arc aware, the County has indicatcd that they Nvould not operate the City's
aquatics programs if they did not also receive the park mainienance contract.
I look fnrward to discussing these matiers.

Re: Meeting Public Information and Education Needs
Even though Spokane Valley is avery young city; we have been involved in many prajecls
anci activities for which we ~vould have liked greater public awareness or involvcment. The
City does not have a dcdicated public informatinn nfCcer, nor does it have funding allocated
for public information, except on a project-specific basis. City employees incorporate basic
public inforniation responsibilitics into tlieii- overall project managenlent, and City CounciJ
membcrs work indepcndently to achieve Council public uivolvement aims.
Th.is memo provide.s background information, and describes a few potential apPrpaches to
meet the City's public information and education neecls.

Pubiic Ini'armation Activitics
Following are same rcpresentative samples of public infonnation activities, whieh coulci be
carried out by a public relations firm, by an indiviclual contractor or by a City ecnployee.
They are taken from job descriptions of various local governmeni public information officcrs
in Washington, and are not in any parlicular order.
• Aclvise City Manager, senior management And City Council on public information
policies and issues;
• Plan, develop, coord'ulate and prpduce public information products, includi.ng

• Develop and 'unplement strategic communication plan to increase citizen awaeeness
of City prograns; and citizen participation in City's decision-making process;
• Managc the clissenunatian of prompe, accurate emergency public infonliation duruig
etnergency and disaster situations
• Serve as a corporate source of information about thc City
Not all ofthe items may be appropriate for Spokane Valley, ancl there may be some
important ieems that shotild be added. I-Iowever, if the City decides to movc forward with a
public inCorniation plan, the above list could provide d foundation for a scopc of work
Public Information Providers
There are three basic categories of professional public infonnatian providcrs: a public
relations/marketing Firm; an individual contractor or a City employee. Staf'f has not done an
in-depth analysis of the costs of each; liowever; following is an initial cstimate, along with
pros and cons af tlie three categorics. Please note that the estimates ao not include llle cr.ist o1'
;
Meeting !'ublic Informatian anc) Lclucation Needs, continued
Page 3 of 3
Januar}' 11, 2005
cilaterials, supplies and services, such as printing or publisliing. 1"he City would incur those
costs regardless of'thc provider.
.Prtblic relrttions/nrarketing firm. A AR/marketing firm o.ffers a pool of professional staff;
,Arith a vaiiety of skills to draw from. I-Iowever, Spokane Valley may be a "small fish in a hig
pond," and the City's account may not be a high priority. Dcpending upon the firni's
Cargeted client base, conflicts of interest may arise. Contracts could be set up on a project
basis, a retainer basis, car an hhurly rate basis. The City could expect to pay arpund $75 -
$175 per hour, depending upon the task. A lower hourly rate may be negoiiated if the City is
using a project or a retainer basis.
1►tdividua/ Cotrtractor. An individual contractor provides professional skills and experience.
He or She may not have the complete skill set offered by a PR firm, anci subcontracting may
be an option for areas outside the person's expertise. A.n individual contractor may have
experience nlore directly applicable to a public sector envu•on.ment, ~<<hich woulci be helpful
if'the Ciry is looking for gcneral advice and counsel 'vi addition lo project-spccific work. Ai1
individual contractor lil:ely has a smaller client base than a I'R firm; so die Ciry's account is
likely to be a higher priority. DePending uPon hislher otlier clients, conflicts of interest may
arise. Conti-acts could be set up on a project basis, a retainer basis, or an hourly ratc basis.
Staff doesn't have an estimated cost for au individual contraceor, but the hourly rate is likely
to be less t.han a Public RelationslMarketuig Firm.
Ciry Ln:ployee. Thc City emplovee aud individual contraetor approachcs are similar.
Perhaps the biggest difference is tliat an employee's work time would be dedicated to the
City; so confliet of interest wauld not be an issue. StafPs itutial estimate of a PIO salary is
about $50,000 pe.r year for a fuU-lime employee. The additional costs of an employee, such
as medica] insurance and other benefits and roll-ups, cotne tA about 30%. This would bring
. the total estimaced cost to arotmd $65,000. 1-Iowever, a more complcte analysis is needed.
Other ConsideraNuns
If the City Council wauld like to proceed with a publie infonnation approach, there are other
considerations as «=ell.
An:uurrt of Work. The City has enough public information and education need to employ a
full-tune Public .I.nfonnation 0fficer, or to contract with an individual or agency for that
equivalent amount of work. To the eatent that the City Council «rishes to take a phased
approach, the work plan woulcd nced to be careCully prioritized.
Btedget Ijttpact. A proposed budget amendtnent woulcl be included as part of the package.
Firs•1 Steps. 'I'he City woulcl issue a REquesl for Qualifications as the first step in selecting a
public relations firui or individual contractor. The first step to ]iiring an eiuployec would be
to develop a job description and place the position on the City's classification plali.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: CORE VALUES PROJECT APPROACH AND TIMELINE
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: N/A
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Council worked with the Planning Commission to
create a draft vision for the upcoming Comprehensive Plan.
BACKGROUND: The vision proposed for the Comprehensive Plan, once finalized, describes
what the community should be in 25 years. It provides a framework for the policy issues
identified in the Plan. The draft vision is: Spokane Valley - a communrty of opportunity where
families and individuals can grow and play, and businesses wi!l flourish and prosper.
The core values provide the context for addressing those policy issues. Clearly defined values
i' will help the City identify what issues are the highest priority, and what strategies can best be
used to help the community achieve its vision. Having clearly defined values will also help the
City Council balance competing demands as it makes policy decisions.
The purpose of this agenda item is to agree upon an approach and timeline for defining the core
values associated with the Comprehensive Plan. The City Council and Planning Commission
are scheduled for a joint meeting on February 1, 2005 to discuss the core values.
The Community Values & Mission of the Town of Blacksburg, VA are attached as an example.
Spokane Valley may or may not want to include the same level of detail in its definition of
values, but it gives an idea of the types of things that could be included. .
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Provide inpu4 and direction to staff.

.
Natural surroundings and oPen space - Residents place a high value
on natural open spaces and the views of the surrounding undevelopsd
mountains. Protection of streams, natural vegeiacion, ope.n spaces, and
scenic Wiews will preserve this natural bcaucy for the enjoymcnt of
future generations.
Attractivc cammunity appearance and cleanliness - One ofthe
characteristics of Blacksburj that residents and visitors i-ecognize on a
daily basis is the cleanliness and appearance of the town. The citizens
place a high priority on beautifjring their environment through
landscaping, plantings in median strips, hanging baskets downtown;
street sweeping, washing of downtowm sidewalks, and well maintained
homes and businesses.
Qpen Goverriinent - T'he Blacl:sburg communiry prides itself on the
high ]evel of eiiizen input and community involvement. Key issues facing the toNvn are
evaluated in op$n, public
meetings. All major public
meetings are televised on . ,
the towm's public access ~
television stacion. Towm
' ~governmment works hard to
be responsive to citizen -
needs and to be customer
focused, as evidenced by iLs Figure CV-2, Blackshurg Publle Aleetirrg
E-government initiatives. There are many active civic groups
including the League of Women Voters, the Neighborhood Federation,
and the To,%&rnscape Committee, which are activc in community affairs. The to«m is fiscally sound as demonstratcd by low taxes, a divcrse
revenue stream, a high bond rating, and reasonable user fees - all oi'
these supporting high quality serviees.
Community parhierships - Many community partnerships have
developed and have had a prafaund effect on communiry aetivities and
facilities. Tourn-communicy parmerships have contributed their
resources to projects such as renewing the L_yric Theater, the Hand-l.n-
Hand Playgrowid, downtown streetscape improvements, and
renovations and imprvvements to the Blacksburg branch library.
Partnerships 6ave also provided gazebos in Town parks, lights at
soccer fields, and have prormted activities such as the town-s

-Public Safcty - Citizens of ~ Blacksburg value the safety
of ttr communiry and iLs low

living environment contributes to [he averal] quality of life in
Blacksburg.
Quality land development - High qualih° land development is
demanded by 131ackshurg citizens. Developtnents that preserve open
space and natural features are more attractive to residents and help to
protect natural areas for the enjoyment of future generations. ln a
survey on the quality of development in Town, citizens provided
opinions on what characteristics represent high quality development
and what represents poor quality development. Exterr,ive and mature
landscaping was t}he most f.requent example of niDh qualit},
development in both residential and commeraial areas. In residential
arzas citizens also prefer large areas of open space, maintenance of
natural streams, recreational facil.ities, sidewalks, and high
architectural quality. In commercial areas, the community prefers
shared parking for businesses, sidewall:s, street lighting, high
architectura) quality, limited signs; and landscaped parking areas.
Charactcristics that represented poor development include clearing of
natural vegetation, orrstreet parking, too much or too ]ittle exterior
lighting, large eapwises of asphalt, and large dominant structures.
iModerate cost of living - Citizens of Blacksburg enjoy the moderate
regional cost of living. 'fhe communiry is provided with many of the
amenities of a large population center, but in an affordable small town
atinosphere without "big-city" problems.
Varied employment opportunities - The community places a high
value on varied employment opportunities. Blacksburg and its
surraunding communities

Request for Council Action
Meeting Date: January 18, 2005 City Manager Sign-off:
Item: Check all that apply: ❑ consent ❑ old business ❑ new business X public hearing
❑ information X admin. report ❑ pending legislation
AGENDA 1TEM TITLE: Valley Corridor Project Update
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: N/A
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: At the February 3, 2004 the Council requested SRTC
to model traffic for the Couplet Project. At the joint Council/Planning Commission meeting on
February 23, 2004 three couplet alternatives were selected for further study by Public Works
staff. At the April 6, 2004 Council meeting option 2A was presented to Council and the decision
was made to suspend further study on that option.
BACKGROUND: Public Works has been working with SRTC over the past year to develop
traffic models for the various Valley Corridor options. SRTC has used three different software
models and is currently in the process of implementing the VISUM model. Although the model
is not complete, SRTC has sent a letter to the City stating the following:
While there will continue to be improvements to the model incorporating new growth
patterns east of Sullivan and more refinements in a around the Valley Mall area, there
are certain findings that continue to remain the same regardless of the model
improvements. The analysis continues to indicate there is a lack of sufficient growth in
traffic volumes in the South Valley Corridor that would warrant additional capacity
beyond the seven lanes that currently exist on Sprague Avenue. Forecasts indicate the
traffic volume would be approximately 1,500 to 1,600 vehicles per hour in 2025
compared to 5,000 vehicles per hour capacity.
Attached is a letter from Inga Note, PE, Acting Traffic Engineer for Spokane Valley, a memo
from Bob Brueggeman, PE, Assistant County Engineer, and an excerpt from a recent traffic
access revisian request at Pines and Sprague from a local engineer in Spokane Valley. These
documents discuss concerns with SRTC's volume capacity on Sprague and the current and
future capacity of the Pines and Sprague intersection.
Public Works has notified SRTC that we are concerned with the results in the current traffic
model and that we request SRTC c4ntinue to evaluate the roadway capacity of Sprague Avenue
and proposed Couplet altematives.

RE: South Valley CorridorlAppleway Blvd Extension
Dear Mr. Kersten:
The Spokane Regional Transportation Council (SRTC) has been working with
the City of Spokane Valley over the past year to develop both short and long-
range traffic volume projection for the Sprague Avenue Corridor from the
Sprague Avenue Interchange to Tschirley Road. During this time we have
modeled the corridor using Tmode12, Emme/2, and our most recent
implementation of VISUM, which is one of the more advanced travel demand
models available today on the market.
Wth the assistance of you, Steve Worley, Bob Bruggemen, Ross Kelley, Marina
Sukup, Jessica Hill, Ed Hayes, and a whole host of other people involved in
travel demand modeling analysis, we have made some substantial improvements
to the model network in the Spokane Valley. This has provided an opportunity
for better analysis of the region's transportation system. We appreciate the time
and effort the City of Spokane Valley staff has put into reviewing the networks.
While there will continue to be improvements to the model incorporating new
growth patterns east of Sullivan and more refinements in and around the Valley
Mall area, there are certain findings that con#inue to remain the same regardless
of the model improvements. The analysis continues to indicate there is a lack of
sufficient growth in traffic volumes in the South Valley Corridor that would warrant
additional capacity beyond the seven (7) lanes that currently exist on Sprague
Avenue. Forec,asts indicate the traffic volume would be approximately 1,500 to
1,600 vehicles per hour in 2025 compared to the 5,000 vehicles per hour
capacity. This is based on the current land use plans in effect as part of the
Interim Comprehensive Plan for #he City, completed transportation improvements
in the area, as well as those that are currently underway or programmed for
completion during the horizon year.
As we have discussed previously, alternative land use plans being considered by
the City indicate the potential for downsizing of some commercial and retail areas
in the Sprague Avenue Corridor. This seems to be consistent with the findings of
the economic analysis conducted earlier this year. This potential change would
continue to reinforce that existing capacity is sufficient to address potential
growth and development in the corridor.
There are still significant improvement opportunities worth considering along
Sprague Avenue that could improve the arterial's efficiency. Construction of a
crossover from Appleway to Sprague, east of University Road, much like
Division-Ruby, in order to maintain a more even flow of traffic through the
transition area. Similarly, improvements at the Pines Road and Sprague Avenue
intersection to accommodate turning movements could improve its existing level
of service. Development of a traffic signal interconnect system could also
provide opportunities for improved signal timing and better progression of traffic.
Unless we hear otherwise from the City of Spokane Valley, the SRTC will no
longer continue the evaluation of additional roadway capacity in the Sprague
Avenue Corridor. The SRTC continues to be available to assist the City of
Spokane Valley by providing the information necessary to support transportation
system efficiencies in the corridor, which might be forwarded to the
Transportation Improvement Board as part of a re-scoping effort.
Should you have questions, please contact me at 343-6370.
Sincerely,
Glenn F. Miles

DF.aT NE:ll:
Jn response to vour request, David Evans and Associates, lnc. (DE.A) has eeviewed the modeling forecasts ancl
background informacion pertaining to the South Valley Corridor.
The letter from SRTC stated that `The analusis continues to indiccrte thal tlrere is u lack of sufficierzt gr•rnvth zn
traffic volumes in the South Ualley Coiridor that -would wQrrant additionul cUpaciry beyond the sevei? (7) lanss

frar, rhe Ciry SkTC will no langer continue the e»aluatian of additional roatl►vav capacin) in rhe Sprugue Averaue
Cor-ridor'.
Since the VISUM model is currently being updated, and appears Eo have numerous calibration problems witliin
the Spokane Va11ey City LimiLs, it is our contention that at this time the model resulis should not be used for long-
term plaruiing decisions. Areas of concern regarding the mode] and us,e of its forecas~5 are outlined below.
l.. Luek Glpacity - The capacity cited in the letter (5;000 ve.hlhrJ3 lanes) is uscd only t:o simulate mid-block
Operatin¢ conditions excluding the effects of intersections and intersection delays are separately added within
the model. Capacity of an anerial carridor is strongly influeneed by the number of signal; per mile and the
green time/cycle allocation to the arterial through movement. Were the signal delay to be iocorporated into
the links (as same models clo), a better esiimate of true roadway capacity would be on the order of 2,100-
2,600 veh/hr/3 lanes. For the planning purpose of describing an arierial corridor's overall ability to cany
traffic volumes, the loWer capacity accounting for intersection impacts should be used.
2. Problenu with ZOO.i V]SUM Base Mode! - The 2005 Base Moclel docs not accurately represent eaistino,
ctinditions in the Spokane Va11ey City Limits, and the 2023 forecasts should no[ be used tivithout adjustment.
This section roakes reference to two commonly used FI-fWA docurnenu for mociel calibration purposes: the
1990 Calibrating and Adjustment of System Planning Models (CASI'IA) and the 1997 A9ode] Validation and
Reasonableness Checking, Manual (V1VR.CA). Specific concerns include:
■ The inaccurate rcpresentation of ihe Spokane Valley A1all, resulting in differenc.es be.iwee❑ existing e.ounts
nnd Base A1ode1 volumes of-85% on Indiana Avenue at Evergree.n.

Coefficient of Determination (R2). According io the AqVRCM the R2 value should be greater thai 0.88. A
reQressiori analysis of traffiic counts and Base Madel volumes alon~ the Sprague-Appleway corridor yields an
Rgvalue. of only 0.62. ~1 rearession anal}~sis of the model's screenline counts yields aii R' value af 0.83.
■ The MVFZCM provides guidelines on allowable deviation from ADT voiumes on individuaE 1in}:s. Of the 141
lin}: volumes provided in the screenline analysis, only 51 % of those are within the allowablc deviation from
their A_DT count
■ The CASPNI suogests limits for perrxnt error by funcUonal classifcation. The target value is +/-10% for
A9ajor Arierials. Using the available counts and model results for the Spof:ane Vailey, the ovcrall error for
this functional classification was c:alculated at -.i 1%.
• The table below shows a comparison betvveen counts and Base Model volumes along the Sprague-Appleway
Corridor. Althau;h some of the low volurnes on Sprague may be explained by the rnodeling of I-90 as a
three-]ane facility in VISUNT, the difference should noi be as great as shown in the table. Congeb-tion on the
north-south corridors betivee.n Sprague anc! I-90 would offset any travel time gains for commuttirs switching
their trave] paih t.o the int--rstate. Furthermorc, such shifts in travel pattems would likely not wnount to more
than S- ] 0% of traffic vrolumes west of University SLreeL rather than the 40% shqwn.

3. Lack of Post Prucex.sing - The use of model forecast volumes without any post-processino goes against the
general practice for volume forecasting. Ti is common to utilize existing irafi~c counts as a base, then apply
ihe difference (in percant or absolute numbers) betwsen the bhse and future year model to generate afuture
year volume. This technique is especially appropriate when the base model is not well calibraced with
eaisting corridor counts.

Access Revision Request at Riverside and Pines

~ Page 9
~ 2005 /2015 AND 2025 LEVEL OF SERVICE AT RIVERS(DE AVENUE AND PINES ROAD
Based upon the analysis presented with the additional movements as noted in
~ Table 4 and 5 above, the anticipated or resulfing level of service for the new
intersection at Riverside Avenue is LOS B for the westbound right turn for all
conditions for all evaluation years, see Table 6 below. Additionally, the
( southbound left tum will run at LOS A for the same time frame from 2005 through
2025.

I As shown in Table 6, for 2005 all intersections within this stretch of Pines Road
~ area are operating within acceptable levels of service. However, witfi growth on
this leg as shown, both Pines and Main and Pines. and Sprague move to failure in
I 2015 and continue to fail through 2025. The failure at Pines and Main is because
of the through and left tums both from eastbound and westbound from Main to
Pines. Therefore, by removing both of the westbound to northbound and the
I eastbound to southbound lefts as well as through movements from the IUlain to
Pines would improve this intersection. Therefore, in order to determine the
impacts to this area, we evaluated a similar modification at Main which is similar
I to what we are requesfing at Riverside; wherein the southbound to eastbound as
well as the northbound to westbound left turns are maintained and the minor
(Main Avenue) through and lefts are prohibited. Then the resulting LOS would
I be very nearty the-same or better'than those shotivn in Table 6 for tfie Riverside
and Pines proposed intersection. This result is shown in Table 7 below.

~ Also shown in Table 6 is that the Pines and Sprague intersection, with the
addition of a consistent 1-percent growth rate is destined to fall to LOS F, i sometime in the next ten years. While we did not run a year by year analysis or
~ evaluation, we are assuming that this intersection will reach LOS E in two years
and LOS F in five years. Although not included within this packet of information,
( we evaluated at least five different scenarios using the standard intersection
configuration w'rth numerous timing pattems and with only a few exceptions in
2015 could we obtain an adequate LOS that would remain adequate unti! 2025.
` Primarily, using a standard intersection configuration, the only way to make this
intersection continue to move anywhere near acceptable limits was to add dual
left lanes both eastbound and westbound on Sprague which would increase
I Sprague Avenue within this area to an 8-lane facility and even then the resulting
LOS was still below an acceptable level of service with and LOS of E.
~ Based upon our understanding of the traffic issues in the Valley as well as the
issues associated with the total volumes at the Pines and Sprague intersection it
is apparent from our analysis that the only viable solution to the Pines and
, Sprague intersection in the long term is the expansion, construction and
irnplementation of the Sprague Avenue Couplet. The leve(s of service shown in
Table 7 for Pines and Sprague intersection are with the couplet in place, so by
default there would be no eastbound leg opposing the volumes on the other legs,
thereby taking approximately 1400 vph out of the intersection during the PM
~ Peak hour. The only modification that would need to be made would be to
accommodate a free northbound to eastbound right turn to accommodate the
anticipated 900 to 1000 right turns during the PM Peak hour and throughout
~ much of the day.
QUEUE ANALYSIS FOR SOUTHBOUND PINES ROAD
I As this newly proposed intersection is 450' centerline to centerline from _
Sprague Avenue a queuing analysis for southbound vehicles was prepared to
f determine if there was an opportunity for the queue to back into this proposed

~ Request for Council Action
Meeting Date: January 18, 2005
Item: Check all that apply: ❑ cflnsent El old business ❑ new business ❑ public hearing
(A information [D admin. report pending legislation
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Administrative Report: Overview of the Introduction and five of the
eight elements of the proposed Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 36.7013, WAC 365-195, Spokane Valley Ordinance 03-
52
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: City Council was briefed on the progress of the
Comprehensive Plan on September 28, 2004.
BACKGROUND: The City Council adopted the Spokane County Comprehensive Plan pursuant
to Ordinance No. 03-52. During 2004, the City conducted a survey of community opinions, and
held eight Community Workshops at various locations throughout the City.
Many of the priarities (goals) are typically general in nature, while the implementation strategies
(policies) are much more specific and are presently intended only to identify issues deserving
public review and comment, many of which the Council has nof considered. This structure will
enable the City Council to rank, schedule and evaluate the performance/success of the City
implementation of the Plan. Both priorities and strategies may be replaced, modified or deleted
as the citizen participation process progresses.
~ The Comprehensive Plan is intended to accomplish the following:
• Meet the requirements of the Growth Management Act, the Countywide Planning
Policies, state and federal mandates. Compliance with the law is not stated as a
"priority" since it the most fundamental requirement for City operation and plan
production.
• Benchmark existing conditions. This will permif future updates to track progress over
time.
• Consolidate the requirements and standards included in other documents and the plans
of other agencies, to provide a comprehensive compendium of factors affecting Spokane
Valley's future.
• Explain the interdependencies between Plan elements and provide a readable
explanation of the elements of issues. As the process continues, it is anticipated that
some "explanation" may no longer be required, if for example, a strategy were either
eliminated or replaced.
• Provide a roadmap for future policy consideration and action, including regulatory
requirements, levels of service, capital improvements and financing.
The City adopted a Citizen Participation Program on September 23, 2003, aligned with the
recommendations enumerated in WAC 365-195-600(2) including visioning, the role of the
Planning Commission, public meetings and hearings, notice, solicitation flf written comments
and the means of communication to be utilized in soliciting citizen comment. The results of the
Citizen Survey are incorporated in the Plan document itself. The Planning Commission has
- been a vital resource in soliciting citizen input during the Community Workshops.

The Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan contains an introduction, seven required elements,
and a Natural Environment element required by the County-Wide Planning Policies. The
following elements are included at this time: Natural Environment, Housing, Economic
Development, Utilities, Parks & Recreation. Land Use and Transportation are tentatively
scheduled for February 15, 2005 and the Capital Facilities element will be presented on March
1, 2005.
The Natural Environment element requires approval from the Department of Ecology. The
Parks & Recreation element will be supplemented by the 10-year Parks & Recreation Master
Plan, with information concerning citizen preferences to be incorporated within the
Comprehensive Plan following the consultant survey. The Housing element focuses on the
provision of affordable housing, as prescribed by the Countywide Planning Policies, and has
been reviewed by the agencies providing housing services. The Economic Development
element draft has been reviewed by agencies with activities in Spokane Valley. It is anticipated
that additional agencies will also submit comments as the process continues. Draft documents
will be updated with 2004 year end data where appropriate.
