1 Wallgraphic Reduced Noise Uncertainty in source Sound Walls o Dedicate funds to upgrade sound wall Loading Area Vibration Power Station Quiet Zone Community Based Community Asset Community Uses o Day Care, Market Retail Downtown Like Community Center Permanence Housing Community Center Safety Lighting Crossings Wall Traffic Trucks and Bikes Sustainable Clean Air Pedestrian Access Green Building o Trees o Garden Free Cycle Decomposed Granite Path Green Roof Endangered Species Plants Local Control Quiet Zone Maintenance Private Developer Concerns Investment Housing Improved Air Quality

2 Financial Investment Create Trust Fund for Developer Fees Design/Orientation of Buildings Ensure good design orientation Adaptive Reuse Visual Impact Parking Compatible Uses Mixed Use Minimum Infrastructure Setbacks Screening Open Space Dog Park Garden Minimize Foot Traffic Green Belt Facility Design and Operations Staging Wash Ongoing Community Participation Increased Property Values Next Steps Block Captains Clearly Outlined Maps Visioning is premature o Cart before the horse Eminent Domain Concern Questions Sound walls? Height of building? Maintenance activity? Timing of activity o Day/Night?

3 Group #1 Loading area doesn t block noise Limits connectivity to station no pass thru Parking for buffer use subterranean/surface Finding compatible uses with maintenance uses Safe crossings to buffer from houses Entrances at both ends of buffer Security fence vs. sound wall Steps back from yard Nice to look at Loading area could be covered Maintenance area can blend with buffer in design and LEED Trees Community serving retail main street Generate revenue to fund neighborhood benefits Mixed use art related connecting to Berrant Elevate bridge over rail connecting to Olympic Shared parking with Metro under buffer or maintenance facility Reuse existing buildings Community benefits from nearby developments Goals and Outcomes Mitigate sound Improve overall neighborhood Sustainable; greening; LEED Open space with building

4 Group #2 Sound/Vibration? Traffic? Parking adding spaces Trucks mixed with bike route on Stewart Needs Park, open space, community garden Community center Dog park Community recreation Light (shielded) Replace buildings Adaptive reuse Land bank Daycare, Kiddie play Freecycle center Tool exchange neighborhoods.com Car share Enhanced green, art walls, not cinder-block. Park/green roof Building sustainability, Eco, etc.

5 Group #3 Noise channels and traffic o Between buildings east of buffer and cleaning platform Parking for buffer Sound wall?? o not just a perimeter wall o For buffer Who maintains the buffer o 2 million $ limit? o No ongoing maintenance budget for the buffer Storage and transport of toxic materials? Green space Housing and park mixed use Benefits for existing residents Beautification of the sound wall o Vegetation o Trees Environmental opportunities o Trees? Permanent o Not undone Attract $ (from Houser?) City to maintain green space Many options? Goals Permanance not removable or eminent domain Green space sustainable Block sound Clean the air Local neighborhood serving Not attracting traffic and noise or crowds from outside the neighborhood We control the buffer

6 Group #4 Noise day and night Traffic Impacts on property values Visual impact Tendency to create more of what you are already creating all over the area for buffer zone Mitigate health impacts, noise and air Reduce sound Enhance neighborhood Permanent available for future generations Mitigate impact on neighbors Block sight lines to yard Open space Community asset Public use not commercial from city or private Goals and outcomes Minimum infrastructure and financial investment (land bank temporary use) Receiving site for developer mitigation (trust fund) Fee from area developers Create community center (use to be determined) Sustainability Uses to be determined by community (impacted residents) Green belt/open space

7 Group #5 Vehicle Wash o Inside and Outside? o Acoustics of vehicle wash? Staging of supply vehicles Concerns TPSS Noise Mitigation Minimize noise mitigation Quiet zone Green zone (brown oak trees) o Landscaping o Bamboo Community garden? Public ownership of zone Open space Passive Zone/Use Decomposed granite path Exercise stations Non-destination point Direct sound appropriately (away from residences) Dedicate funds to upgrade sound wall (south) o Anti-graffiti Goals/Outcomes Property values increase Easy maintenance/sustainable Safe no homeless haven Endangered species garden
