The process took place over a period of nine monthssand included extensive public outreach and� community involvement. The proposed park is a key component of the larger 269-acre Sunset Area and the "Sunset Area Community Reinvestment Strategy," a plan adopted by • the City of Renton in 2009 for comprehensive redevelopment of the Sunset Area of Renton. Sunset Neighborhood Park will be a new 3.1 acre park located east of 1-405 and north of NE Sunset Boulevard in the Sunset Area of Renton. The future park will be a gateway facility for the Sunset Area and a catalyst for transforming a part of the City that is working to overcome academic, health care, public safety, • and socio-economic challenges. The future park will serve a diverse population, both in age and race/ • ethnicity, and is intended to serve the community that lives within a one-half mile radius of the park, which is identified as the typical walking distance for a neighborhood park facility. Sunset Neighborhood Park will be part of a vibrant community where new mixed-use housing, a new S library, three nearby schools, and a nearby accessible playground will be or are located. Additionally, the • park will be linked to area residences and businesses through a "Complete Streets" approach that creates a walkable community with a connective set of pedestrian, bicycle, and public transportation friendly • streets. Prior to this park project, the City of Renton and local partners will have completed $48 million worth of transportation, library, school, playground, and rain garden/stormwater public infrastructure . investments in the Sunset Area. A previously funded and soon-to-be constructed regional stormwater • facility with rain gardens will be co-located within the future park. The future park will provide multiple • benefits, including: reduced storm water runoff; outdoor education opportunities; social gathering spaces; performance venues for local residents and visitors; increased property values; increased jobs, economic • growth and vitality; and opportunities for physical activity and healthy living. • • Emerging from the broad public involvement process, the future park design incorporates active and • passive recreation and environmental education opportunities. Park design elements include adult fitness equipment, two children's play areas, a looped circulation/path system with mile markers, a water feature, • picnic areas, a picnic gazebo with tables, performance seating/open space lawn area with pergola and • benches, a restroom building with notice boards, art locations, and interpretive signs. • The Master Plan Report includes a breakdown of the estimated construction costs for the park, and illustrates an option for phased construction. The park design can accommodate phasing to provide flexibility for funding options, anticipating funding from multiple sources or at different times. The adopted Master Plan and the Master Plan Report will be utilized to secure outside funding and grant opportunities • such as Land and Water Conservation Funding, Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program funding, and • Legislative funding. • • • • Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan • 1 Project Background 3• • V r4 , 4' ;' 'y Since the late 1990's the City of Renton has focused on the Renton . = t; ; Highlands as an area targeted for improvement and investment. �z•1 1 A variety of ideas and plans have emerged and multiple public a �'s and private partnerships have formed to generate investment in A�•s.,,>:� facilities and infrastructure. The City initiated a major work program -y evaluating the comprehensive plan and zoning in the Highlands sub-area during 2005 and 2006. The City's goal was to stimulate • private investment to create a more viable residential and business -> '- district, provide additional housing options, improve and upgrade N _ neighborhood infrastructure, and diversify the employment and • business tax base. In the fall of 2006,the Highlands Task Force • on Land Use and Zoning convened and recommendations were • adopted in May 2007. The land use and zoning changes were • !~ intended to stimulate revitalization of one of Renton's older i commercial and residential areas into a community with compact a urban development featuring a mix of residential and commercial • uses, a range of housing types, innovative design, transit • orientation, and pedestrian scale amenities. The City of Renton formed a Highlands Task II Force in late 2007 to • identify, prioritize, and recommend next steps needed to implement • the land use vision endorsed by the first task force. After over a year of intense study and discussion, and a public meeting, the Task Force produced a report with two dozen recommendations for City actions in the Renton Highlands. These recommendations were presented to City Council in December 2008 and included specific • code changes as well as "big ideas," such as: • • Neighbors and businesses are engaged and involved in the community. The neighborhood is an attractive place to live, conduct business and is affordable to many incomes; • • Growth and development are managed in a way that preserves . the quality of life and ensures safety and security. Cultural and • ethnic diversity is celebrated; • • The neighborhood is interconnected and walkable. In early 2009, City Council adopted these recommendations by • resolution and asked the administration to draw up a work program • to begin implementation. • Several Highlands Phase II Task Force recommendations • involved the initiation of new improvements to the Highlands • area. Recommendations included creating a "third place" or • public gathering space, initiating pedestrian and streetscape • Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan 2 improvements, advocating for boulevard improvements for Sunset Existing context . Boulevard, and the development of a sub-regional storm water • drainage facility. Any one of these projects requires a significant public investment. The Sunset Community Investment Strategy provided an assessment of the feasibility and funding for these recommendations. Outreach included ; ..:.� ... c c uded community stakeholders � . such as the Renton Housing Authority, the Renton School District, ^4 local business owners, and the general public. Council reviewed the final report and adopted the recommendations for community ry investment on November 23, 2009, under the title "Sunset Area Community Investment Strategy." To plan for the Sunset Area redevelopment and associated neighborhood revitalization, the City of Renton, in partnership with the Renton Housing Authority, completed the Sunset Area Planned Action Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The NEPA/SEPA FEIS f ` • (National Environmental Policy Act/State Environmental Policy Act, i Final Environmental Impact Statement FEIS) was issued in April • 2011. The objective of the EIS was to promote the redevelopment _ of public housing, implement infrastructure improvements, and facilitate planning and environmental review for the Sunset Area. • The Preferred Alternative in the EIS report showed neighborhood - • growth based on investment in the Potential Sunset Terrace • Redevelopment Subarea, with a moderate number of dwellings provided in a mixed-income, mixed-use development, oriented around a larger park open space, and a loop road tying it all • together. These items represent a major public investment in the • study area infrastructure and services. Also in 2011, the City of Renton updated their "Parks, Recreation and Natural Areas Plan." During this process, and as identified in the Sunset Area Planned Action EIS, there are a limited number of • parks and recreation facilities in this area. (See the following page • for a plan of the Sunset Area Preferred Community Framework, which illustrates a park and pedestrian connection strategy). The Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan provides multiple, varied recreation opportunities and will be connected to and has a strong • relationship with the future public and private surrounding uses • including a new King County library, mixed-use developments, housing community, schools, and Meadow Crest Playground (Renton School District/City of Renton partnership project). The i 3.1 acre proposed Sunset Neighborhood Park is a key open space • component of the Sunset Area Community Revitalization Plan and • is located in the heart of the community. It will be a focal point where the community can come together for celebrations and for informal recreation.

FAR n • • Public Outreach and Design Process A collaborative and engaging community-based process was _„- • used to develop the Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan. • The design process included a review and analysis of the existing • site, a public process to gather input and feedback on master t plan concepts, and cost estimates for the master plan. Multiple • communication methods were utilized to invite the community to participate in the public process including% page advertisements ��""•-``" • and public notifications in the Renton Reporter, e-mail and postal • invitations utilizing a data base of nearly 3,000 area residents, flier ProcessDesign • distribution, City web page postings and internal City postings. * } Both English and Spanish translations were utilized in the mailed _ • invitations and flier distributions. The public process involved an initial workshop with City of Renton • departments to set design parameters, and a workshop with • identified stakeholders to gain input on the Sunset Area as well as • J:set additional design parameters. Three community open house • meetings followed, and involved the public in park programming, . design character, and layout. Approximately fifty participants Design Process • were involved in the community open house meetings and the stakeholder workshop.

This housing will be demolished after the property is transferred to the City of • Renton. Harrington Avenue and Glenwood Avenue right-of-way will be vacated (between NE 10th Street • and Sunset Lane NE) and NE 10th Street will be extended west to Glenwood Ave NE for construction of the • new park. The right-of-way and curb line for Sunset Lane NE along the south and west of the project site is shifting to the north and east to accommodate new development across the street from the proposed • park. This new curb line will be the southern boundary of the park. • • Site Civil • Site civil activities include but are not limited to: • Grading of the site • • Installing new impervious pathways, and pervious pathways • • Installing curb and gutter • • Relocating existing utilities • • Installing irrigation for landscaped areas • Installing pathway lighting • • Providing new water and sanitary service for the new park restroom and water features. • A new regional stormwater facility is also proposed to be constructed prior to the park and is discussed in • the following sections. • Utilities Existing underground utilities include water, gas, sewer, and storm lines. Existing overhead utilities include • power and telecommunication. There is overhead power and telecommunication on Harrington Ave • between NE 10th Street to Sunset Lane. There is underground gas, storm, and water, and overhead power • on Glennwood Ave NE west of Harrington Avenue. • Existing overhead power and telecommunications lines within the proposed park boundary will need to • be relocated underground. Proposed underground power and telecommunication lines will connect to • existing utilities at the intersection of Glennwood Ave NE and Sunset Lane NE and will run underground, • along the west portion of the park, and tie into existing utilities on the east side of Harrington Ave NE, near • Sunset Blvd NE. • Sewer, gas and storm lines in Harrington Avenue will remain and be maintained during and after • completion of the park project. The existing gas line and sanitary sewer main in Glennwood Ave NE will • also be maintained. The utilities exhibit, see Appendix F, shows the extent of utilities within the park site, • the right-of-way and adjacent properties. The existing water main in Harrington and Glennwood between NE 10th Street and Sunset Lane NE will be abandoned. A proposed water service line will connect to the existing main in NE 10th and serve the park bathroom and water feature. • • Utility relocation within the right-of-way • Water, storm, sanitary sewer and gas utilities in Sunset Lane NE will be relocated within the right-of-way, however this work is anticipated to be completed by others prior to the park project. Relocation is required • • 12 Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan • • s • • due to the reconstruction and shifting of the road right-of-way to serve the new developments in the • neighborhood (both by others). • New Fire Water Line Construction • A new water main will be constructed within the right-of-way and around the park along Sunset Ln • NE and NE 10th St. The majority of the water line will be constructed by others prior to the start of • the park project, however the last portion of the waterline may be constructed at the same time as • the NE 10th Street extension and park project. This portion of the water main is also anticipated to be • constructed by others to complete the loop for the fire line. • Stormwater Facilities and Requirements • A new regional stormwater facility will be constructed in 2015 prior to the construction of the park. • This stormwater facility consists of two bioretention cells (raingardens), and an underground infiltration gallery. The bioretention cells will be vegetated with native plants and shrubs. The facility will provide water quality treatment and flow control benefits for Sunset Blvd, NE 10th Street, and a commercial • property north of the park. Local storm drain systems within the park will be constructed to provide • drainage as needed. • The current layout of the park has approximately 25% impervious area and is meeting the Planned • Action EIS impervious area limit. Therefore no stormwater flow control is required. The onsite • stormwater management requirement can be achieved by maintaining sheet flow from impervious • areas onto pervious areas, and the construction of pervious pathways. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • i • Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan 13 • • • • • Final Master Plan Cost Estimate • The following pages provide a probable cost for the Sunset Neighborhood Park.

She highlighted relevant background information including the Sunset Area Community Planned Action EIS, the Sunset Terrace Redevelopment Concept, and design guidelines in the Parks, Recreation and Natural Areas Plan. Site Analysis Overview • Existing Conditions: Dean W. Koonts, HBB, described existing conditions within the Park Master Plan project area. He presented a photo-documentation map illustrating key site components including topography, soils, overhead and • underground utilities, transit stops, viewsheds, and future location of the stormwater facility. He also reviewed microclimate of the site and a sun and shade analysis for the project area illustrating shadows produced by proposed adjacent development. Stormwater Facility: • Dustin Atchison, CH2M Hill, provided a summary of the future regional storm water facility located in the park area, and connection to the Harrington Ave NE Green Connection Stormwater Project. He also described the raingarden surface features and the underground infiltration gallery of the facility. He also described the Ecology grant funding sources and related schedule (construction completion by June 30, 2015) and design constraints (non-mitigation water quality function). . Park Parameters Colie Hough-Beck, HBB, introduced the existing park concept plan from the Planned Action EIS. Initial • questions and comments from the participants included: • • Are there significant trees or historic elements on site? Response: There are a few trees at the south of the project area that will be looked into further. • Will there be any issues with ponding water in the stormwater facility? Response: The facility should drain well and the ponding duration (approximately 6-24 hours) is significantly less than the incubation period for mosquitos. • Can planting be incorporated above the stormwater facility? Response: Shallow rooted shrubs and grass are suitable. • What type and frequency of access to the facility is needed, and where? Response: Likely a vactor truck, once a year, at the manholes located at the ends of the facility, and , maybe more frequent to the rain garden for plants maintenance. The maintenance vehicle access is 12' • to 15' wide and does not need to be pavement. In some examples, the maintenance access has been provided by pathways through the park. 34 Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan r Inter-departmental Team Workshop: Summary Notes Page 2of3 r • Consider the facility as an educational opportunity. Code/Regulation Parameters: Interdepartmental team input on potential code and regulation parameters included: • City will demolish the buildings on the land as part of the property acquisition process. i • Appraised land value does not include the buildings. S • Adjacent development is responsible for half of street improvement, including a minimum 20' width of roadway pavement needed for fire and emergency access, and sidewalks, planting and parking if any within their half of the street. • Existing utilities that serve the greater area will need to remain in service, and could be relocated or placed underground, but this will require coordination. Gas = PSE; Power = PSE; Water, storm and sewer = City; Telecoms = private franchises. It would be preferable to maintain the subsurface utilities, particularly city-owned facilities, for budget purposes. Aerial utilities may need to be relocated or r undergrounded. • Construction Sequencing: The Park would like to begin construction following the development/ ® construction of the surrounding planned structures which are anticipated to be completed 2017. The library is estimated to begin construction in 2014 with completion estimated in 2015. Colpitts is estimated to begin construction of their phased development (Buildings 6-10) in 2015 and complete approximately in 2017. Much of RHA's phased construction (Buildings 5, 11, 16 and 17) are dependent on financing. • • Infrastructure Abandonment within Park Area: The City will be exploring concepts for the abandonment • and/or relocation of existing utilities within Harrington Ave NE so as to not interfere with park improvements/programming. There will be questions about who pays for this and when does this happen which then lends itself to other questions about the sequencing for street dedications and vacations (of Harrington Ave NE, NE 10th St, and Sunset Lane) as well as the construction of physical . improvements within the right-of-way (street, water, sewer, and drainage). As part of that this • discussion will be concerns about who goes first, to what level of improvement is necessary, the use of latecomer agreements, etc. Park Components: Interdepartmental team input on specific park components included: • Buildings/Structures • Performance and outdoor educational activity spaces are needed. • Power, restrooms, ADA access, and amphitheater-like area should be considered. • Social services, such as job training and tutoring offered by the Renton School District and • Neighborhood House need space within the neighborhood should be located somewhere; library . provides this space for meeting and is open until 9pm. • The Human Services Strategic Plan is due to come out this year. • Cedar River Library is a good example of integration of outdoor space for contemplative reading areas and library associated activities. • Sight-lines should be considered in order not to obstruct future security cameras. • Fountain • Design water feature that allows children to have access. Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan 35 0 0 Inter-departmental Team Workshop: Summary Notes Page 3 of r • Crossroads project in Bellevue is a good example for size and use. • Design a fountain for use at a neighborhood level, not regional. 0 Open Space & Play Area • Un-programmed play space is important, simply have a lawn for flexible activities. 0 • Low-level safety lighting should be considered, such as bollards or pedestrian lights at edges of park. . • Integrate public art with the project, consider the stormwater facility as a potential. • Off-leash dog area may be important as density increases and outdoor dog accommodation areas 0 are needed. , • Views between building 5 and 6/7 provide an opportunity for a viewpoint off-site or on-site viewshed. • Outdoor fitness equipment should be considered adjacent to the children's play area. 0 Community Garden 0 • Will a community garden be large enough to have an impact at this location?This may have lower r priority at this location. There may be other better locations for this in the neighborhood. 0 • Looking at the sun/shade analysis, the park may not be appropriate for a garden, as presented in the Planned Action EIS. r On-street Parking Options: Colie presented three parking exhibits for Sunset Lane, surrounding the project area. Comments included: • Sidewalk should be shown as 12' with tree grates. • • For Exhibit 1, it will be difficult to park after turning off of Harrington northbound and making a left onto Sunset Lane due to orientation of the angled parking. • For Exhibit 3, is parallel parking difficult given make up of likely users of this park and neighborhood? S • For Exhibit 3, the bulb-outs provide green space. • For Exhibit 3, could you remove park-side parallel parking? It was noted that the neighborhood was • likely deficient of on-street parking and any reductions from code-required on-street parking are likely a • big impact. • Park-side step-out of car treatment would be outside of ROW. • Parking treatment in front of library and commercial should be angled parking, but also include bulb- • out for pedestrian crossing. Parking stalls on the park-side could be eliminated in that location. • Group consensus favored Exhibit 3 with 12' sidewalks integrated and the addition of angled parking • adjacent to building 9/10. Action Items By Whom • Revise parking exhibits to reflect wider sidewalk, and angled parking at building 9/10 HBB i Next Meeting March 19 Stakeholder Workshop • Renton City Hall Council Chambers, 1:30-3:30pm • 36 Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan • • • • Stakeholder Workshop Agenda • • • Introduction Leslie • • Planned Action EIS & Park Master Plan Overview Leslie • • Parks, Recreation and Natural Areas Plan November 2011 • • Site Analysis Overview • • r Existing Conditions HBB • " Sun/Shade Analysis HBB • e Storm Water Facility CH2M HILL • • • Park Components Exercise HBB • Park Components • • • • • • 0 0 • • • • • • • • • Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan 37 • • • • Stakeholder Workshop Photographs • • • ,., pi,y Area Outdoor Readir • - Fountain Seatwalls ! o I -Restroorr • .Y ADU Oprn Lawn Concert �► `�e� �` �Stomtwaterl • raingarden •w `"J Plaza Area •Shaded Seating y Eating Areas Seatwalls • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • 38 Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan • • • • • • Stakeholder Workshop PowerPoint • • • Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan • Stakeholder Workshop Agenda • Introduction • Planned Action EIS&Park Master Plan Overview • Stakeholder Workshop • Parks,Recreation and Natural Areas Plan November 2011 • Site Analysis Overview Existing Conditions • - Sun/Shade Analysis Storm Water Facility • Park Components Exercise • Park Components • -� :.:'14J1:. {!BB you...:_ __���"-.r..

He presented the photo-documentation map illustrating key site components including topography, vegetation, soil • conditions, overhead and underground utilities, transit stops, viewsheds, and future location of the storm- water facility. He also reviewed the site's microclimate and a sun and shade analysis for the project area. • Stormwater Facility: i Dustin Atchison, CH21VI Hill, provided a summary of the proposed regional stormwater facility to be co- located in the park area, and its connection to the Harrington Ave NE Green Connection Stormwater • Project. He described how the bioretention stormwater facilities proposed for the Harrington Avenue • Green Connection will provide enhanced water quality treatment. The regional storm water facility, co- located in the future park, will consist of rain gardens, an infiltration gallery, and a vegetated detention facility to compliment the park features. The facility will serve as a demonstration project and utilize low • impact development to treat stormwater runoff. These improvements will retrofit existing storm systems in • the area to reduce the quantity and improve the quality of stormwater runoff, from the existing and future • land use within the Sunset Community Plan Area, which discharges to Johns Creek and Lake Washington. • He also described the grant funding source, design constraints and anticipated schedule (construction • completion by June 30, 2015). • Dean W. Koonts, HBB, provided an overview of the design concepts for the regional stormwater facility, • raingarden surface feature. He illustrated the components of the preferred layout for the raingarden, • including the relationship between the proposed Renton Highlands Library and the NE entrance into the • park, as well as opportunities for art and education, aesthetic integration with the park, and ease of facility maintenance access. • • Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan 49 • • • Stakeholder Workshop: Summary Notes Page 2of4 Surrounding Development • Stakeholders described their respective projects that surround the park. Library: • • 2,000 library visitors are anticipated daily. • • The library will be open 6 days a week from approximately 10am to 9pm, with the possibility of extending hours to Sunday. • There will be ± 1,000 SF of Community Room space. • Visibility into the park is important: A green view from the library (northwest face) is desired, such as . a learning garden. The library will have many windows allowing views of the park through the library • from Sunset Blvd. • The library organizes performances in Renton's parks with about 100 to 200 attendees Renton Housing Authority (RHA): • • The NW corner, building 5, will have 40 units. , • 10 to 14 townhomes intended for families will be located to the north of the park. • • 15 townhomes and 20 flats will be located north of NE 10th between Harrington Ave and Sunset Lane N E. • RHA has a 25 lb limit on size of dogs and a requirement to keep dogs leashed. • Colpitts Development: • • 111 market-rate units are anticipated, intended for singles and couples. • Approximately 45% of the units will be one-bedroom. • Community group rooms will be included. . • The population will be approximately 500 to 700 individuals. • • Pets will be allowed and the developer plans on providing dog "runs" as part of the development. • Viet Wa: • No changes are planned for the commercial/retail use. On-street Parking Colie Hough-Beck, HBB, summarized the alternative parking concepts for Sunset Lane NE as well as the preferred parking concept, Option #4. The preferred parking concept includes parallel parking in front • of the residential units, angled parking in front of the library and neighboring property, a load/unload • area along NE 10th on the park side, bulb-outs for pedestrian crossings, and typical sidewalk and planted treatment along the adjacent property frontages. Comments included: • Explain where people park when visiting the library and adjacent housing. Response: There will be dedicated parking for both the library and the adjacent housing. Sunset • Neighborhood Park is a neighborhood park and is intended to serve nearby residents who live and work • within walking and bicycling distance. • Can a walking route or loop be shown around the edges of the park? 50 Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan w • • • • • Stakeholder Workshop: Summary Notes Page 3of4 • • Response:This will be considered as part of the park design. . • Is there a regulation on parking time limits? Response: There is flexibility with parking time limits. • • Can the load/unload area move? Response: The load/unload area is located for maintenance vehicles accessing the stormwater facility • and the park. • • Why is there parallel parking shown in front of the residential units? Response: The preferred parking concept balances parking, pedestrian crossings into the park with • significant landscape bulb-outs and sightlines into the park. Angled parking adjacent to the proposed • residential developments poses a challenge for drivers turning left onto Sunset Lane from Harrington • northbound, because drivers would have to back into and pull out of stalls across traffic, or would need • to circle the entire park to access this angled parking by turning right onto Sunset Lane. • Park Components Exercise • Colie introduced park components that were included in the Planned Action EIS park concept plan, and • then summarized the park components identified by the Interdepartmental Team Workshop. Utilizing • paper cutouts overlaid on the park site plan, she demonstrated square footage requirements for some of the identified park features. Colie asked stakeholders for input on the identified park components, • including a performance space, a restroom building, art integration, a water feature, open space, a play • area, as well as what other elements would be/would not be desired. Comments included: • Buildings/Structures/Site furnishings: • • A permanent stage is not needed for performances,just space for a temporary stage. • • Picnic tables and benches are desirable, including a covered picnic table area • • Could some type of shelter to block wind and provide enclosure be considered? • Response: Structures raised a concern regarding visual accesses for Crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED), surveillance, and vandalism prevention. CPTED is a design approach to • deter criminal behavior by designing spaces to avoid potential attack. • • Restrooms should be located near children's play area, water feature, and performance gathering space • for easy access. • Restrooms should be located to provide convenient access for cleaning and maintenance personnel. • • Restrooms should not be a focal point in the park or block prominent views into the park. • • Water Feature: • • Portland's Jamison Square water feature is a good example of a successful water feature, and includes • the possibility to have performances in the space when the water is turned off. • Locate the water feature away from the library so that water does not track into the facility. • • Stormwater facility: • • Can the stormwater facility raingarden be incorporated as the water feature? • Response: The raingarden is not treated water and would not meet public health standards for use as a water feature where children may have contact. Additionally, the raingarden is vegetated and will not • Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan 51 • • • • • Stakeholder Workshop: Summary Notes Page 4of4 • • be designed to detain stormwater runoff. • Could the stormwater facility be located further to the south and west or is the current location in the northeast corner fixed? • Response: While there is some flexibility in the layout of the stormwater facility, the soils exploration • was conducted at the location currently shown; it is uncertain if the same high infiltration soils exist • further to the south. In addition, the current location considers the necessary conveyance from NE 10th • Street and Sunset Blvd. • If the corner of NE 10th Street and Sunset Lane (Park side near the stormwater facility) is mostly • hardscape, the additional right-of-way space between the park and NE 10th Street should be developed • to include a landscape buffer with sidewalk. • Open Space & Play Area: • • A perimeter walking trail is desired. Trail markers or bollards that show distance for runners and walkers • on the perimeter trail are preferred. • • Any lighting should be low-level, pathway lighting. • • An off-leash dog area is not preferred as part of this park. Dog bag stations should be provided. • • Hard surface courts (basketball or tennis) are not desired in the park. • • Locate the play area to the north side of the park area because family units will be on the northern properties. • • Divide the play areas and equipment (2-5 and 5-12 years of age) with hardscape so that parents can • simultaneously watch both areas. The hardscape can also provide children a path to ride wheels • (tricycles etc.) separate from park circulation. • • Outdoor fitness equipment should be considered adjacent to the children's play area. • An outdoor chess game could be located near the performance area. • Response: The library does not have the resources to be the custodian of outdoor game areas. • • Other: • • What is the funding/timing for the park? Response: Funding has not yet been secured and the City does not yet own the property. 2017 is an • approximate timeline for park construction. • Next Meeting • May 1, 2014 Community Open House #1, McKnight Middle School, 6pm-8pm • • • • • • • • • • 52 Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan • • Appendix B ` • • • • • • Appendix B: Park Concept Alternatives • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan • Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan • • • • • • • • • -- J-= `Investing in Housing 9 Jobs Education e Health Environment 9 Transportation Sunset Neighborhood Park • �t _` Jornada de Puerta Abierta Onete a nosotros en el proceso de • "� ��,�:I�i��f, planificacion para disenar un futuro parque en el sector de Highlands. • \ \ '� `� El parque tendra un area de 1.5 • hectareas. • Sunset Neighborhood Park 1I y Open House Meeting • q d j .' -• Please join us in the master planning • d process to design a future 3.7 • W acre neighborhood park as a part • _ of the Sunset Area Community Revitalization Program.This is the Jueves, 1 de Mayo del 2014/6:00-8:00 p.m. first of three interactive open house • McKnight Middle School Commons Area/1200 Edmonds Ave NE,Renton,WA 98056 meetings.

Team Presentation • Parks, Recreation and Natural Areas Plan: Leslie Betlach, City of Renton, introduced the team and provided an overview of the Park Master Plan process. She highlighted relevant background information including the Sunset Area Community Planned Action EIS and design guidelines in the Parks, Recreation and Natural Areas Plan. Site Analysis and Park Parameters: Colie Hough-Beck, HBB, introduced the design team. Dean W. Koonts, HBB, briefly described existing conditions within the Park Master Plan project area. He presented the photo-documentation map • illustrating key site components including topography, vegetation, soil conditions, overhead and underground utilities, transit stops, view sheds, and location of the stormwater facility. He presented the r site's microclimate, a sun and shade analysis for the project area, and provided an overview of the park S components identified in the City Interdepartmental Team Workshop and the Stakeholder Workshop. • Park Concept Alternatives: • Dean provided an overview of the layout of the park components and park circulation in each of the four concepts: Cluster, Portal, Flow, and Promenade. Participant comments and questions during the presentation included: 1) Question: What is the density and size of housing units in the proposed development surrounding • the park? • Response:The Renton Housing Authority (RHA) has committed to replacing the original 100 units of public housing at Sunset Terrace with 100 new public housing units. In addition, RHA plans to create approximately 150 additional affordable units. RHA's new public and affordable housing units will be located on, or adjacent to the Sunset Terrace property and at other locations in the • Sunset Area. In addition to the new park and library, the current Sunset Terrace property will be • redeveloped to include approximately 410 market-rate housing units and approximately 40 public or affordable housing units (of the 250 previously noted public housing and affordable units. The remaining 210 units will be located throughout the Sunset Planned Action Area). The Renton Housing Authority is currently working to provide relocation assistance to the current residents of S Sunset Terrace. Participants were directed to contact the Renton Housing Authority or the City's • Community and Economic Development Department for additional information. 2) Question: Have you looked at other parks in the area and evaluated their uses and walking distance to the proposed Sunset Neighborhood Park? Response: The City Interdepartmental team provided input on surrounding park uses. • 3) Question: Is this a "Neighborhood" Park (as defined by the Parks, Recreation and Natural Areas Plan)? Response: Sunset Neighborhood Park will be developed as a "Neighborhood" Park. 66 Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan • • • • • Open House Meeting #1: Summary Notes Page 2 of 4 • 4) Question: Is there a parking/loading area for the performances? Response: There is an unload/load area proposed at the northern side of the park. • 5) Question: Did the Design Team take into consideration potential views of Mount Rainier in the • design options? • Response:The anticipated height of the future building structures will limit views to Mount. • Rainier. There are views of the Olympic Mountains to the West and the Design Team will try to capture those views between the future building structures. 6) Question: What will be the hours of the park? Response: The Park will most likely be open from sunrise to sunset. . 7) Question: Is there lighting proposed for the park? • Response: Lighting has not been proposed at this stage of the design process. However low-level path lighting may be included in the park master plan. 8) Question: Does the park include Sunset Court Park? Response: Sunset Court Park is a separate park and is located to the north of Sunset Neighborhood • Park. • 9) Question: Will an off-leash dog park be included? Response: Off-leash dog facilities will be provided by the adjacent housing developments within each development. • 10)Comment: There is age diversity in the neighborhood. Sunset Neighborhood Park should • incorporate park components for teens. • Response: The park design will include elements appropriate to a broad range of potential users. • • Open House Workshop Activity • • Activity Summary: • Attendees were divided into two groups to participate in a facilitated, small group discussion regarding the Concept Alternatives. Each group sat at a table with a discussion leader and with the four Concept • Alternatives displayed for review. Discussion leaders, Dean and Colie, asked four questions: 1) What do you think about the park components? 2) Are there any missing park components? 3) How do you like the park circulation in each concept alternative? 4) What are the pros and cons of each concept alternatives? • The two groups reconvened as one audience, and Colie and Dean, the discussion leaders, presented a summary of their group discussions. • • Combined Summary of the Groups' Discussion: • A. Park Components: 1) Picnic shelters should be included for all-weather use. • 2) Active use areas for teens and a variety of ages should be included, such as a basketball court, • tether ball, a tennis court with backboard, and flat lawn areas for pick-up soccer and football. • 3) Porous concrete was suggested as a paving material for the basketball court in order to reduce noise. • Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan 67 • Open House Meeting #1: Summary Notes Page 3 of 4 4) A P-Patch community garden should be considered. • 5) Soft lighting should be considered along walking paths. Bright, overhead lights should not be considered. (No cobra head lighting) 6) Benches, tables, and an outdoor sink are all components that should be considered in the picnic areas and benches throughout the park. • 7) Education components should be considered. Botanical labels and signage for trees and plants • would be an opportunity for education. 8) A pavilion or flexible use area for craft and vegetable sales should be included. 9) School programs or community service at the park would provide opportunities to involve students • at the park. • 10) Pervious paving components could be included. However, maintenance should be considered • when specifying pervious pavement. 11)A pathway with fruit trees, "orchard lane" along the existing Harrington Avenue NE ROW (once the ROW is abandoned), or a mini-orchard could be considered as a way to incorporate the concept of community gardening into the park. 12)ADA parking stalls at the park should be provided. • 13)The water feature should not pond or have pooling water. Focus on interactive spray jets. 14) Concessionaires or commercialization of the park should not be considered. 15) Locate a public art feature near the library, at NE 10th Street and Sunset Lane NE. B. Park Circulation: • 1) Direct routes, or "senior friendly" routes, to park components and surrounding development entrance points should be incorporated. S 2) A path following the existing Harrington Ave NE route works well for connecting entrance points. These routes should include benches. 3) The perimeter loop is a good idea. • 4) All paths should be ADA accessible. • 5) "Cluster" does not provide direct routes. "Promenade" and "Flow" provide direct routes. 6) A few of the paths could be removed in "Promenade" to provide a simpler layout, and could include more plazas at entrance points. 7) "Portal" provides good entrance points into the park; however "Portal" can be revised to include some of the "Promenade" pathways to create more direct routes, such as the path connecting Harrington Ave. C. Pros and Cons of each Concept Alternative: Collectively the two discussion groups preferred the circulation in "Promenade", and favored the placement of park components in both "Portal" and "Flow". Participants liked the direct circulation routes S in the "Promenade" concept and liked the many entrance points in the "Portal" concept as well as the placement of activity near the commercial side of the park in the "Flow" concept. s 1) "Cluster" pros: The play area is centrally located. The hill is nice. • "Cluster" cons: The park components are too centrally clustered on top of each other, and do not • create opportunity for discovery. There is too much open space, which is weather-dependent. 2) "Portal" pros: The plazas provide opportunity for meeting and children pick-up locations. These 68 Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan • • • • • Open House Meeting #1: Summary Notes Page 4of4 • plazas could each have themes. The hierarchy of the plazas read well, and could be applied to the • "Promenade" concept. The water feature is centrally located. "Portal" cons: The water feature potentially blocks a thru-path. Paths do not connect across the '• park. Activities are too tightly clustered. A picnic area is needed by the play area. 3) "Flow" pros: The paths are simple and work well. The activities near the library and retail are well • located. • "Flow" cons: There is too much open space. The performance space is located too far from the library. • 4) "Promenade" pros: The relationship to the library and retail works well with the path layout. Two • picnic areas are useful. The restroom is centrally located. • "Promenade" cons:There are too many paths. The picnic areas are too far from the restroom. • • Action Items Leslie to record what and where the nearest facilities are in the area, including a community garden, courts • for basketball and tennis games, sports fields, and off-leash dog parks.

"I like the idea of having a park that is open to all generations to use and play,and after the • community members brought up the idea of spaces for teens,think that this park will be just that," • said Kaelene Nobis,resident outreach coordinator for Renton Housing Authority. • "I think it's going to end up being pretty cohesive for the residents and really entwined with the . library,"she said. About 20 people showed up for the meeting at McKnight Middle School.They listened to an • explanation of concepts by the project team and then gathered into groups to share their own ideas. • Some of the people present were intent upon asking about the number of housing units that will go into the property.The Sunset Redevelopment is intended to be a mix of market rate and low-income • housing. • Members of the audience were concerned if the city looked at areas of overlap in terms of amenities • at other nearby parks.According to officials,in trying to keep the park a neighborhood park and not a regional destination,some amenities came off the list. • What's known almost certainly is that it will not be a dog park. • 70 Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan • • • • • • Community members came up with a list of things they'd like to see,which included activities for • teens,all weather shelters,sports fields and courts,a flat lawn for creative play,a spray parka nd • pea patch,among many other ideas. • "I think it's wonderful to see picnic areas and play areas,environmentally safe areas for people in this community,"said Jon Troxel,an area apartment owner."I whole-heartedly support this • concept." Cynthia Burns,chair of the Parks Commission,was also in attendance and said she was amazed by the participation of those who turned out for the event. • "Everyone shared equally,"she said."It was no holding back and that's the kind of public involvement that we want in developing our parks." • Parks Planning and Natural Resources Director Leslie Betlach said she thought the exchange went well with the community.She has received a lot of"thankyous,"she said,for her work on the • project.People are surprised to be getting a redesigned neighborhood park. • The next steps are forthe project team to pull together all ofthe comments and come up with some alternative solutions for the next open house meeting,which is June 18.There is no timeframe for • construction yet.The land still has to be acquired and developed,Betlach said. • "It's not uncommon,"she said."We're planning for the future;there's opportunity out there through grants and other funding sources." • Betlach also said at this stage there is no budget projection for the project. • TRACEY COMPTON,Renton Reporter Staff Mer tcompton@rentonrepoder.com or 425-255.3484,ext.5052 • • • Find this article at: • http://www..e tonreporter.mWnews25870Ml.hdri • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan 71 • 72 Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan • • • • • Parks Commission Briefing #1 PowerPoint • • • Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan • Sunset Planned Action EIS r=,' `•� Final NEPA/SEPA issued April2011 • Parks Commission Briefing #1 r I Completed in consultation with the Renton Housing Authority(RHA) 1 Initiated with the redevelopment of May 13,2014 j RHA's Sunset Terrace and associated neighborhood growth and • revitalization Evaluated the broader Sunset Area • = Community Determined the future land use and redevelopment HU • r .

Additionally other components include performance space, fitness equipment,walking loop,restroom,integration of art,as well as passive open • space. • The first Open House meeting occurred May 1,2014,and reviewed parks,recreation • and natural areas plan,site analysis and park parameters,an overview of four park • concept alternatives,workshop activity and recap. Questions included what the public felt about the park components,was anything missing,how do you like the park circulation in each alternative,what are the pros and cons of each concept • alternative? Desired park components include active use areas for teens and a variety of ages, (including open turf and hard court surfaces),a pavilion for craft and/vegetable sales, . education components,picnic shelter,benches,tables,fruit tree walk/Community Garden,ADA accessibility,water feature, public art and a perimeter walking loop. • Due to space requirements,all desired park components cannot be accommodated in • the future park site. As a follow up to the meeting,staff inventoried existing recreation facilities(tennis,basketball,sports fields and community garden space) • located within a one half mile walking distance to the north and south of the future • pk. Seven tennis courts,four basketball courts,four baseball/softball fields,three soccer fields and one multi-purpose field are located within walking distance.

Five • attendees also previously attended the Open House Meeting#1, May 1, 2014. • • Team Presentation • • Leslie Betlach, City of Renton, introduced the City team and provided a summary of the Park Master Plan process. Colie Hough-Beck, HBB, introduced the design team and described the agenda for the Open House • #2 Meeting. • • Open House Meeting#1 Summary • Colie provided a brief overview of the four Park Concept Alternatives presented at the Open House • Meeting#1 and a summary of the feedback received during that meeting. Colie then presented the Preferred Park Concept, which consolidated the feedback from Open House Meeting#1 into one preferred • concept. Colie explained that this Preferred Park Concept guided the development of the three Park Schematic Plans which would be presented later in the Open House. The Preferred Park Concept illustrates the following main items: • • The north and south alignment of Harrington Avenue should be honored in the circulation and • pathway system. • • Provide multiple entry plazas (portal plazas) at key access points, such as the future library, • Glenwood Avenue, Sunset, Harrington, and the future housing developments. • • Circulation should provide direct access through the park. • Show the main use zones (play, plaza, etc.) located in the east half of the park, closer to the future • mixed-use development. • • Nearby Park Facilities: • Leslie Betlach described existing park facilities located within 1/2 mile of the proposed Sunset Neighborhood Park. Nearby park facilities were inventoried as a follow-up to the Open House #1 Meeting • in order to illustrate what park activities are being met in parks near the proposed Sunset Neighborhood • Park. Below is a list of these facilities described: • North Highlands Park and Neighborhood Center • 1) 1 Lighted Tennis Court proposed for refurbishment • 2) Portion of park area has been preliminarily identified for raised bed community garden • • McKnight Middle School (School has first use priority) • 1) 4 Tennis Courts 2) 2 Basketball Courts • 3) 3 Baseball Fields • • Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan 101 • Open House Meeting #2: Summary Notes Page 2of5 4) 3 Soccer Fields Highlands Park and Neighborhood Center 1) 2 Tennis Courts 2) 2 Basketball Courts 3) 1 Softball Field 4) 1 Soccer/Multi-purpose Field No Off-leash dog park facilities are located in the Planned Action EIS area. Park Schematic Plans: • Dean W. Koonts, HBB, provided an overview of the three Park Schematic Plans: Water Commons, Village Green, and Vista Place: Water Commons: • Water Commons translates the preferred park concept into a schematic plan through the use of the simple, • geometric design principles of the Modernist Landscape style. • Pathways and pedestrian circulation provide direct, geometrically curving routes into and through the park, defining the open spaces in a balanced way. S • The water feature has two main features: (1) bubbling jets provide water that stream down the • face of a low retaining wall; (2) this water collects into a channel that runs south to the south Harrington Ave portal plaza. • The play areas are separated and they, along with the fitness areas and picnic plaza (parent plaza) S radiate outward from the main plaza. • The restroom sits closest to the main open space/performance area and is integrated with a large • curving pergola structure that has benches underneath. • • The portal plazas incorporate hardscape and curving benches. The portal plaza across from the future library also includes a curving pergola structure with seating underneath. • The main sculptural art element occurs in the main plaza. i • Formal lines of trees follow the axial pathways and help define the open spaces.

Response: Low-level, safety lighting will be considered for the park. • 6) Question: Will there be speed limits on Harrington Avenue? Response: Yes, there will be speed limits placed on Harrington Ave. • 7) Question: How much will it cost to construct the park? • Response:The City does not want to limit itself as it's trying to define what components the public desires in the park and where they would like to have them located and the size and configuration. • The City doesn't want to constrain this part of the process with a number. • • Open House Workshop Activity Activity Summary: • Attendees visited three stations to review the Park Schematic Plans more closely and provide feedback. • Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan 103 • Open House Meeting #2: Summary Notes Page 4of5 There was one work station for each Park Schematic Plan and accompanying photo examples of park components shown in the plans. Station leaders from the design team recorded comments from attendees on the plans. Attendees were asked what they liked and didn't like in each plan. Attendees reconvened as one audience, and each station leader presented a summary of station comments. Summary of the Station Discussions: • A.

The city presented the schematic designs for those three different looks and image example boards • of the components that would make up the overall concept.The"Village Green"concept has a nine- • foot grade change,with portals and pathways all around the park.It has a boulder channel water • feature and playgrounds for ages two to five and five to 12.There is also a plaza that coordinates with the library entrance to the park. • The"Vista Place"has a more formal geometric shape than the other designs,although a similar • layout.This concept features a larger surface area water feature.All the playground equipment is clustered in the same area and the lawn has gentle slopes.In the plaza next to the library,there are • seat-walls. • The last concept,"Water Commons,"is a blend of the two previous designs.The portals or pathways • now function in a semi circular fashion.The space lends itselfto a pergola around the central plaza. The water feature spills over a wall and their are pathways through the rain gardens. • "I find it very interesting and I like the Village Green,"said Stewart Shusterman,Renton School • District representative. He found it easy to make comments on the drawings,but more helpful to view the image examples • attached to each concept.With Highlands Elementary around the corner and Meadow Crest Early • Learning Center up the road,Shusterman said the district is a big part of this development. • 106 Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan • • • • • • • "I don't have kids,so I don't know if it's badly needed,"said Sheridan Botts,who lives in the area. • "There isn't really a good natural green space like a play field.So,I'm looking forward to having the • water features and the trees.And I'm really looking forward to the new library location." • The construction for the library is to start sometime this summer.There are components that did not make it into the design like the activity teen courts.Renton Housing Authority's Kaelene Nobis • understands why some components didn't make it and thinks the project team did a good job of explaining why. • "I really like the ones that are a tittle more flowey and less geometrical,"she said of the designs. • "But I think that they took a lot of what everyone wanted that they could put into it,into it." • City of Renton project lead Leslie Betlach was excited to see more people out forthis meeting than the previous one in May.There is still no budget for the project,as the city identifies grants and • other funding sources.The next step is for the project team to distill all the information into a draft master plan,which the public will get to comment on Sept.23 at another community meeting. • "Right now we don't want to limit ourselves;we're trying to define what components the public • desires in the park and where they would like to have them located and the size and configuration," said Betlach about a budget forthe project."So we don't want to constrain this part of the process • with a number," • TRACEY COMPTON,Renton Reporter Staff Writer tcompton@rentonreporter.com or 425-255-3484,ext.5052 • • • • Find this article at: http://w rentonreporter.coMcommunity/26466O751.html • ❑Check the box to include the list of links referenced in the article. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan 107 • 108 Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan • • • • • Park Schematic Plan Order of Magnitude Cost Estimates • • • VILLAGE GREEN VISTA PLACE WATER COMMONS Item Unit Cost Qts.

Response: Collector Arterial and Local Collector streets are names for types of streets. Collector Arterials are major streets with high volumes of traffic (such as Sunset Boulevard). Local Collector streets are geared for lighter traffic flows. Green Collector Arterial and Green Access Local Collector streets will incorporate Complete Streets concepts, which are designed to create safe • access for all users including pedestrians, bicyclists, transit users, and cars with street landscape i improvements separating the walks from the streets. These streets are intended to create "green connections" as well, by providing treatment of stormwater through rain gardens. 17)Question: Does the park have a walkability score?

The value of the art will be based upon the full park build-out and not just the phase the art is installed. 20)Question: Could the pergolas provide more shelter from the rain and provide a continuous cover above? Response:This can be considered in further development of the design. 21)Comment: Mileage markers should be included on the loop trail. • 22)Comment: The play area should include swings. 23)Comment: Likes the Port of Olympia water feature. • • • Next Steps • Presentation to the City of Renton Parks Commission and the City Council. • • Adoption of the Master Plan in November by the City Council. • • • • • • • • Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan 143 • • • • • Renton Reporter Article • Kids get a chance to weigh in on • new Sunset Park design • • • r • • • Highlands residents hear about features of anew neighborhood park that's being planned there. —image Credit.• • Tracey Compton,Renton Reporter • by 1RACEY COMFON,Renton Reporter Staff Writer • Sep 25,2014 at 2:03PM For the first time ever,kids weighed-in on what they thought belongs at a new park being planned in • the Renton Highlands. "There's a meeting for a playground and it's all adults;it's like how do you know what the kids are • gonna want?"said Madeline Bufort,11. Bufort spoke during Tuesday night's third and final community meetingon the Sunset • Neighborhood Park Master Plan at McKnight Middle School,which also featured great reviews for • what the City of Renton,landscape architect HBB and engineer CH2MHILL have come up with so far. • Bufort thought the plans for the park are really cool and she's excited to see it built.She is hoping • that city officials decide to move the turtle statue that currently sits outside the old Highlands Library to the new location once it's built.The library borders the park on the southeast corner. • "I thought the plans were really cool and I couldn't wait to play,"said her younger sister Sara."I . think Madeline's ideas are really great and I love the way they decided things and got other ideas • from other parks." Sara's hoping for a spinning toy at the new park. • Overall the feedback from the community members in the room was very positive.This iteration of • the master plan features a main access spine through the park along Harrington Avenue,a boulder • feature water channel,centrally located bathrooms,playgrounds for ages 2 to 5 and 5 to 12,an orchard tree concept,rain gardens,a grass hill and plenty of open space. • This was the third meeting to solicit feedback on the design. • Marsha Rollinger is on the Renton Arts Commission and attended to make sure that art and objects • like the Highlands Library turtle are incorporated into the park's final design. • • 144 Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan • • • "I think it's a good community meeting spot,especially with the new library addition,"she said."I'm • all forgetting people more out into nature and I think parks area great way to do this.This is a good example of a mixed-use park that should work." The Sunset Neighborhood Park is part of a larger built out of the Sunset Planned Action Environmental Impact Statement Area that includes the new Meadow Crest Early Education Center and its accessible playground,the new Highlands Library and the new housing and retail space planned around the park. Leslie Bettach is"very excited"and"really happy"aboutthe project.She is the city's parks planning • and natural resources director. • "We had great public feedback,great involvement and it's their park and I think they're realty going to enjoy it,"she said. • At this point it's still not clear how the project will be funded.Betlach's group has a budget request • in for 2017 to fund park construction and she says there are opportunities to get grants in between now and then to fund all or part of construction. "I think the hard part is going to be coming up with the construction money,"she said."That's the • first hurdle." • The next steps are to make any further revisions then present it to the Renton Parks Commission, who then can recommend the project to City Council.Betlach and herteam go before the Renton Parks Commission on October 14 and the project could be recommended to City Council as soon as November. • TRACEY COMPTON,Renton Reporter Staff Writer • tcompton@rentonreporter.com or 425-255-3484,ext.5052 • • Find this article at: • http://www.mntonmporter.mnVnews/277132251.html • • • • • • • • • • • • Srtnset Neighborhood Park Master Plan 145 146 Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan • ! • ! • Parks Commission Briefing #3 PowerPoint • Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan Sunset Planned Action EIS r ` r Final NEPA/SEPA issued April 2011 Parks Commission Briefing #3 Completed in consultation with the Renton Housing Authority(RHA) October 14,2014 •� Initiated with the redevelopment of RHA's Sunset Terrace and associated neighborhood growth and revitalization • _ Evaluated the broader Sunset Area ! _ Community Determined the future land use and ! redevelopment • �.., �� FEIS Sunset Area Preferred Community Framework • ! • Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan • Interdepartmental Team Meeting Open House Meeting#1 February 19,2014 May 1,2014 H • Community&Economic Development • Overview of Sunset Planned Action EIS Community Services Overview of 4 Park Concept Alternatives • Public Works dam', • Facilitated Workshop Activity to Invite • 'f Executive Public Feedback on Each Alternative • { Multiple Public Outreach Methods • ,��' - Utilized to Invite the Public to Participate Stakeholder Meeting • March 19,201a Open House Meeting#2 y June 18,2014 • Renton Housing Authority Colpitts Development Summary of Open House Meeting til King County Library System ' ` Overview of Preferred Concept Plan • I•• Renton Technical College _ Overview of Nearby Park Facilities • -4 Renton School District Overview of 3 Park Schematic Plans • Local Business } Facilitated Workshop Activity to Invite !
