The process took place over a period of nine months and 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 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 Since the late 1990's the City of Renton has focused on the Renton Highlands as an area targeted for improvement and investment. A variety of ideas and plans have emerged and multiple public and private partnerships have formed to generate investment in facilities and infrastructure. The City initiated a major work program 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 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 commercial and residential areas into a community with compact 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 improvements, advocating for boulevard improvements for Sunset 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 community stakeholders such as the Renton Housing Authority, the Renton School District, local business owners, and the general public. Council reviewed the final report and adopted the recommendations for community 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 (National Environmental Policy Act/State Environmental Policy Act, 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 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. Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan 3 Graphic taken from Sunset Area Planned Action EIS W Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan The Sunset Neighborhood Park is also an integral part of the City's Sunset Terrace Regional Stormwater Facility Project. A portion of the park's northeast corner is dedicated for a stormwater facility. Rain gardens in this area filter stormwater into the infiltration gallery below and will incorporate habitat planting and education about storm water bioretention. This stormwater facility is funded in part by the Department of Ecology through a 2011 Stormwater retrofit grant. 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 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 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 set additional design parameters. Three community open house meetings followed, and involved the public in park programming, design character, and layout. Approximately fifty participants were involved in the community open house meetings and the stakeholder workshop. The Parks Commission and Committee of the Whole commented on the master plan, as it developed, during three of their regular meetings. The Committee of the Whole adopted the master plan on November 3, 2014. 1 `mil f`�q1 r � Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan 5 Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan Meeting Dates — 2014 1.

The park is centrally located and provides connections to amenities to the north and south. Entry portals at the main entrances feature a combination of "markers" for wayfinding, pergola, or potential art locations. A network of pathways connects the portals with direct routes, defines different activity areas, and provides a variety of looped routes, both around the perimeter and through the park. Active spaces, including playgrounds and fitness area, are located in the southeastern corner of the park, near the adjacent civic and multi -use buildings, while more passive, open spaces are focused along the residential sides of the park. A regional stormwater facility is integrated with garden -type planting and interpretive area. A large plaza, with an interactive water feature, is centrally located tying all sectors of the park together. The restroom is located for ease of access but without dominating the park. A variety of seating options are included in addition to open and sheltered picnic areas. Trees emphasize main path connections, the surrounding streets, and focal areas within the park.

A main north -south path connects the Harrington Avenue portals, providing an unobstructed path recalling the original street route and maintaining community connectivity. Meandering paths connect other entrance points and provide a variety of "loop routes" around the park. Open Space and Performance Area The main open space area provides a flat lawn area for informal field games, as well as a large area for events and neighborhood picnics. An area designated for a movable stage is located along the northern edge and oriented so that the sun illuminates the stage and is not in the audience's eyes. The load/unload area on NE 10th Street provides maintenance and event access to the park. Pergolas A pergola marks the entrance across the street from the future library. Pergolas also define the south edge of the open space and performance area. The pergolas may be covered and planted to allow for all-weather use with curved benches underneath. Water Feature The central plaza includes an interactive water feature with natural features such as channels and boulders. Plav and Fitness Areas The play area features two playgounds, separating play for children ages 2-5 and children ages 5-12. Play equipment may include swings and climbing structures. The fitness area includes outdoor fitness equipment for adults. The fitness equipment is located adjacent to the playgrounds, allowing parents to watch children play while exercising. Poured in place rubberized safety surfacing is included in all play and fitness areas. Picnic Areas Picnic plazas are adjacent to play areas, arranged for family use. A viewing/picnic gazebo provides a covered picnic area to allow for all -season use, and provide views of the surrounding landscape in a quieter setting. Restroom The public restroom features an architecturally contemporary design, with a wall for notice boards. The structure is located for 10 Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan maintenance access, utility connections, and pumproom location while providing some separation from other park activities. Interpretative Area Interpretative signs are provided at the raingardens to explain the function of natural stormwater management systems. Site Furnishings Seating includes concrete seatwalls at the Harrington Avenue entrances and under the pergola at the future library entrance. Circular seating is located under the pergolas that frame the open space/performance area, as well as in the raingarden interpretative area. Back to back benches ring the central plaza to allow for social seating and a choice of viewing options. Bicycle Racks are located at the entrance across the street from the future library. Litter receptacles will also be included. Lighting Low-level pedestrian lighting is included along the main path connecting the Harrington Avenue entrances and around the perimeter of the park. Recessed lighting is incorporated within walls and seatwalls. Art Potential art locations are identified at the north and south Harrington Avenue portals, the portal across the street from the future library, and adjacent to the central plaza, to enhance wayfinding cues throughout the park. Topography The park is gradually sloped toward the southwest corner, following existing topography. Both a grass berm and the southern lawn areas slope gently to provide play opportunities and are oriented to take advantage of sun exposure. All pathways are ADA accessible (under S% grade). Planting Flowering trees emphasize the north/south Harrington Avenue connection. Smaller accent trees soften the play areas. Street trees are spaced to allow visibility into the park for safety. Native, evergreen trees provide focal points of visual interest. Planting areas, including shrubs and groundcover, mark the entrances. The gentle slopes and open space areas are planted with lawn. The raingardens will have native and drought tolerant plants, with a few accent plants and boulders. Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan 11 Utility Infrastructure Background The proposed park site is located on Renton Housing Authority (RHA) property, formerly consisting of public residential housing. 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. UtilitiPS 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 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.

The process took place over a period of nine months and 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 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 Since the late 1990's the City of Renton has focused on the Renton Highlands as an area targeted for improvement and investment. A variety of ideas and plans have emerged and multiple public and private partnerships have formed to generate investment in facilities and infrastructure. The City initiated a major work program 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 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 commercial and residential areas into a community with compact 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 improvements, advocating for boulevard improvements for Sunset 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 community stakeholders such as the Renton Housing Authority, the Renton School District, local business owners, and the general public. Council reviewed the final report and adopted the recommendations for community 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 (National Environmental Policy Act/State Environmental Policy Act, 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 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. Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan 3 Graphic taken from Sunset Area Planned Action EIS W Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan The Sunset Neighborhood Park is also an integral part of the City's Sunset Terrace Regional Stormwater Facility Project. A portion of the park's northeast corner is dedicated for a stormwater facility. Rain gardens in this area filter stormwater into the infiltration gallery below and will incorporate habitat planting and education about storm water bioretention. This stormwater facility is funded in part by the Department of Ecology through a 2011 Stormwater retrofit grant. 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 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 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 set additional design parameters. Three community open house meetings followed, and involved the public in park programming, design character, and layout. Approximately fifty participants were involved in the community open house meetings and the stakeholder workshop. The Parks Commission and Committee of the Whole commented on the master plan, as it developed, during three of their regular meetings. The Committee of the Whole adopted the master plan on November 3, 2014. 1 `mil f`�q1 r � Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan 5 Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan Meeting Dates — 2014 1.

The park is centrally located and provides connections to amenities to the north and south. Entry portals at the main entrances feature a combination of "markers" for wayfinding, pergola, or potential art locations. A network of pathways connects the portals with direct routes, defines different activity areas, and provides a variety of looped routes, both around the perimeter and through the park. Active spaces, including playgrounds and fitness area, are located in the southeastern corner of the park, near the adjacent civic and multi -use buildings, while more passive, open spaces are focused along the residential sides of the park. A regional stormwater facility is integrated with garden -type planting and interpretive area. A large plaza, with an interactive water feature, is centrally located tying all sectors of the park together. The restroom is located for ease of access but without dominating the park. A variety of seating options are included in addition to open and sheltered picnic areas. Trees emphasize main path connections, the surrounding streets, and focal areas within the park.

A main north -south path connects the Harrington Avenue portals, providing an unobstructed path recalling the original street route and maintaining community connectivity. Meandering paths connect other entrance points and provide a variety of "loop routes" around the park. Open Space and Performance Area The main open space area provides a flat lawn area for informal field games, as well as a large area for events and neighborhood picnics. An area designated for a movable stage is located along the northern edge and oriented so that the sun illuminates the stage and is not in the audience's eyes. The load/unload area on NE 10th Street provides maintenance and event access to the park. Pergolas A pergola marks the entrance across the street from the future library. Pergolas also define the south edge of the open space and performance area. The pergolas may be covered and planted to allow for all-weather use with curved benches underneath. Water Feature The central plaza includes an interactive water feature with natural features such as channels and boulders. Plav and Fitness Areas The play area features two playgounds, separating play for children ages 2-5 and children ages 5-12. Play equipment may include swings and climbing structures. The fitness area includes outdoor fitness equipment for adults. The fitness equipment is located adjacent to the playgrounds, allowing parents to watch children play while exercising. Poured in place rubberized safety surfacing is included in all play and fitness areas. Picnic Areas Picnic plazas are adjacent to play areas, arranged for family use. A viewing/picnic gazebo provides a covered picnic area to allow for all -season use, and provide views of the surrounding landscape in a quieter setting. Restroom The public restroom features an architecturally contemporary design, with a wall for notice boards. The structure is located for 10 Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan maintenance access, utility connections, and pumproom location while providing some separation from other park activities. Interpretative Area Interpretative signs are provided at the raingardens to explain the function of natural stormwater management systems. Site Furnishings Seating includes concrete seatwalls at the Harrington Avenue entrances and under the pergola at the future library entrance. Circular seating is located under the pergolas that frame the open space/performance area, as well as in the raingarden interpretative area. Back to back benches ring the central plaza to allow for social seating and a choice of viewing options. Bicycle Racks are located at the entrance across the street from the future library. Litter receptacles will also be included. Lighting Low-level pedestrian lighting is included along the main path connecting the Harrington Avenue entrances and around the perimeter of the park. Recessed lighting is incorporated within walls and seatwalls. Art Potential art locations are identified at the north and south Harrington Avenue portals, the portal across the street from the future library, and adjacent to the central plaza, to enhance wayfinding cues throughout the park. Topography The park is gradually sloped toward the southwest corner, following existing topography. Both a grass berm and the southern lawn areas slope gently to provide play opportunities and are oriented to take advantage of sun exposure. All pathways are ADA accessible (under S% grade). Planting Flowering trees emphasize the north/south Harrington Avenue connection. Smaller accent trees soften the play areas. Street trees are spaced to allow visibility into the park for safety. Native, evergreen trees provide focal points of visual interest. Planting areas, including shrubs and groundcover, mark the entrances. The gentle slopes and open space areas are planted with lawn. The raingardens will have native and drought tolerant plants, with a few accent plants and boulders. Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan 11 Utility Infrastructure Background The proposed park site is located on Renton Housing Authority (RHA) property, formerly consisting of public residential housing. 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. UtilitiPS 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 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.

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. all Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan Inter -departmental Team Workshop: Summary Notes Page 2of3 • 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. • Appraised land value does not include the buildings. • 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 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 41.1 Inter -departmental Team Workshop: Summary Notes Page 3of3 • Crossroads project in Bellevue is a good example for size and use. • Design a fountain for use at a neighborhood level, not regional. Open Space & Play Area • Un-programmed play space is important, simply have a lawn for flexible activities. • 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 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. Community Garden • Will a community garden be large enough to have an impact at this location? This may have lower priority at this location. There may be other better locations for this in the neighborhood. • Looking at the sun/shade analysis, the park may not be appropriate for a garden, as presented in the Planned Action EIS. 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? • 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.

Stakeholders included representatives from the City of Renton, Renton Housing Authority, Schemata Workshop, King County Library System, Viet Wa, Renton School District, and Colpitts Development. Planned Action EIS & Park Master Plan Overview Leslie Betlach, City of Renton, 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 Overview Existing Conditions: Dean W. Koonts, HBB, 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, 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: Dustin Atchison, CH2M 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 Cm] Stakeholder Workshop: Summary Notes Page 2 of 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 NE. • 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? all Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan 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.

Team Presentation Parks, Recreation and Natural Areas Plan: Page 1 of 4 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 site's microclimate, a sun and shade analysis for the project area, and provided an overview of the park 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 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 2of4 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 XVA Open House Meeting #1: Summary Notes Page 3of4 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. 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 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. 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 4 of 4 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.

June 18, 2014 Community Open House #2, McKnight Middle School, 6pm-8pm Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan 69 Renton Reporter Article City gets feedback from residents on new Highlands park Jon Troxel shares his thoughts on anew park planned for the Renton Highlands with Leslie Betlach of the City of Renton. —Image Credit•Tracey Compton, Renton Reporter by TRACEY COMPTON, Renton Reporter Staff Writer May 9, 2014 at 4d9PM Community members got their first look at some of the ideas City of Renton Parks planners have for anew park in the Highlands that is part of the Sunset Redevelopment project. The project is the Sunset Neighborhood Master Plan and the open house was held last Thursday to solicit feedback from the community. Four concepts were presented, representing the lastthree months of work by landscape achitect, HBB, and engineer, CH2MHILL. Only four components have been decided in each of the concepts: the park size, toad ingand unload ingzones, the location and configuration of the regional stormwaterfacility and the parking location. "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 "thank yous," she said, for her work on the project. People are surprised to be getting a redesigned neighborhood park. The next steps are for the project team to pull together all of the 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.

V. ❑ISCUSSIONACTION ITEMS Sunset Master Plan Update —Leslie Betlach Leslie was present to review the future neighborhood park connected to the Harrington Avenue Green Connection, the Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan, In February of 2014 Community and Economic Development, Community Services, Public Works, and the Executive Department held an Interdepartmental Team Meeting. A Stakeholder Meeting followed in March including the Renton Housing Authority, CoIpitts Development, King County Library System, Renton Technicai College, Renton School ❑istrict, and local businesses as well as the Interdepartmental City Team. Diagrams demonstrated the recommended parking layout and preferred storm water facility layout. The Plan identifies park components including a picnic area, water feature and play area. 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 plc. Seven tennis courts, four basketball courts, four baseball softball fields, three soccer fields and one multi -purpose field are located within walking distance. There is potential space for a raised bed community garden location at the North Highlands Parks.

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 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. Page 2 of 5 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. • 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) 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. • Formal lines of trees follow the axial pathways and help define the open spaces. Village Green: Village Green translates the preferred park concept into a schematic plan through the use of naturalistic, pastoral design principles of English Landscape park style. • Pathways and pedestrian circulation meander along the outer edges and the internal routes of the park looping back to each other. • The water feature incorporates a channel of flowing water with boulders and potentially pockets of planting reminiscent of a stream's edge. • The play areas, fitness areas, picnic spots, and restroom building are nestled into the planting areas which buffer the uses from each other. • The portal plazas incorporate vegetation to soften the entryways, with the portal across from the future library integrating the main sculptural art element. • Orchard trees line both sides of the main north -south pathway that curves gently through the main plaza. • Clusters and groves of trees are grouped informally throughout the park framing views and 0to]N Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan Open House Meeting #2: Summary Notes Page 3 of S providing shade. • Seating consists of benches and of picnic table/shelter spots. Vista Place: Vista Place translates the preferred park concept into a schematic plan through the use of the symmetrical, classic design principles in the French formal style. • Pathways and pedestrian circulation align with the several streets that dead-end at the park, providing straight and axial routes into the park and with park elements. • The water feature is multi -functional, providing a shallow sheet of flowing water that when turned off provides additional hardscape for events in the main plaza. • The play and fitness areas are gathered together in a single use area adjoining the main plaza. • The restroom is located near the north Harrington Avenue entrance for maintenance access. • The portal plazas incorporate planting, with the main north and south portals aligning with Harrington Avenue integrating sculptural art elements. • Formal lines of trees follow the axial pathways and help define the open spaces. • A smaller viewpoint/art plaza aligns with the view through the gap of adjacent buildings to the southwest. • A variety of seating options are provided: seat walls and double rows of backed benches in addition to picnic spots. Participant comments and questions during the presentation included: 1) Question: What is the purpose of the rain garden? Response: The rain garden is a surface feature above an underground infiltration gallery that will treat stormwater. 2) Question: Who selects the art for the park? Response: The Renton Municipal Arts Commission will provide direction on art selection. 3) Question: Was a skate park considered for the park? Response: A skate park was not suggested in the earlier City of Renton Interdepartmental Team Workshop, the Stakeholder Workshop, nor the Open House Meeting #1. A skate park is generally considered for a larger Community park. 4) Question: Will the rain garden be planted? Response: The rain garden will be planted with water -friendly plants. 5) Question: Will there be lighting improvements to the area? 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 4 of 5 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. Water Commons: 1) Likes the play area arrangement. 2) Likes the pergola around the performance space. 3) Vines on the pergola should be considered. 4) Likes the curved benches. 5) Needs a covered picnic area. 6) Keep slopes gentle. 7) Likes the rain garden as an opportunity for education. 8) Likes the "marker", or potential art location, at the plaza across from the future library. 9) Prefers art at ends of Harrington Avenue. 10) Does not like the water feature, and it is too far from the restroom. 11) Likes the restroom location for maintenance access and its separation from other park activities. 12) Does not like the straight channel water feature. 13) The water channel could be a tripping hazard. 14) The water feature needs movement and noise. 15) Likes the sculptural aspect of the water feature. B. Village Green: 1) Likes the meandering paths. 2) Likes the right side of the park because activity is clustered away from the path. 3) Prefers the performance area shape in Water Commons. 4) Prefers seating near the performance area in Water Commons. 5) Likes the boulder, natural -looking water feature. 6) Likes this water feature the most. 7) Likes the restroom location, because it is tucked away and not along the perimeter of the park. 8) Likes the trees that emphasize Harrington Avenue connection. 9) Likes the naturalistic character. 10) Likes the overall character of the photo examples for this plan. 11) Likes flexible performance space because it is not enclosed by trees or a pergola. 12) Concerned about the rocks being slippery. C. Vista Place: 1) Thinks the layout is too angular. 2) Likes the options for seating, lots of choices for seating throughout the park. 3) Not sure about the surface flow water feature. 4) Likes the art locations. 5) Likes seating - benches, seatwalls and picnic areas throughout the park. 104 Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan Page 5 of 5 6) Likes the view from the plaza. 7) Wants to include orchard trees. 8) Concerned about trees directly above benches causing a bird dropping conflict. 9) Likes the seatwalls. 10) Likes the restroom photo. 11) Likes the diversity of private spaces. 12) Thinks this is the best opportunity to integrate a slope for kids to roll down. D. Overall Comments Comments that were made at each station, but were applicable to all three Park Schematic Plans are recorded below: 1) Include bicycle racks. The bicycle racks could be an opportunity to include art. 2) Concerned about the safety of the pedestrian crossing in front of the mixed -use building to the pa rk. 3) Likes the fitness equipment. 4) Review the shade analysis for lawn survivability information. 5) Likes the multiple portal entries for wayfinding. 6) Concerned about security at night. 7) Incorporate Crime Prevention through environmental design, CPTED. 8) Concerned that there will not be enough parking. 9) Include good sightlines through the park.

Next M September 23, 2014 Community Open House #3, McKnight Middle School, 6pm-8pm. This will be the final Open House and the Draft Master Plan will be reviewed. Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan W10 Renton Reporter Article Sunset neighborhood park is comingini to focus eI Orm. ire waa y, rr un This is the proposed plan after two community meetings for the new Sunset Neighborhood Master Plan project. — Image Credit., Submitted byTRACEY COMPTON, Renton Reporter Staff Writer Jun 25, 2014 at 3:37PM The Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan continues to take shape with each passing community meeting. Project team representatives and community members convened for another check -in June 18 at McKnight Middle School to see how feedback from the previous meeting has been incorporated into the master plan design. "We took all that into consideration and came up with the'Preferred Bubble Concept,"' said Colie Hough -Beck, of HBB, the landscape architect. The Preferred Bubble Concept represents a combination of all the ideas that were presented in the last master plan meeting May 1. Most of the 28 people in attendance seemed to find one concept of the three presented for the look of the park that they liked for the Preferred Bubble Concept.The city has called those different looks the "Village Green," "Vista Place" and "Water Commons." 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 itself to 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 explainingwhy. "I really like the ones that area little 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 for this 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 for the project. "So we don't want to constrain this part ofthe process with a number."

The main performance and open space area is framed Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan 141 Open House Meeting #3: Summary Notes Page 2 of 3 by pergolas and seating. An interpretive area sits within the rain gardens as an opportunity for education and as a smaller, more intimate space. A picnic gazebo provides views of the surrounding landscape and features a covered picnic area. Some picnic areas are open. • Seating options include sheltered and unsheltered benches and seatwalls. • The play areas are separated and have adjacent picnic or "parent" plazas. The fitness area is located adjacent to the play areas. • Gentle slopes for kids to roll down are integrated into the park design through a grass berm adjacent to the playgrounds. • The central plaza incorporates a water feature with meandering channel and boulders. • Many options for seating are included throughout the park, including park benches in the central plaza, seatwalls at park entrances, picnic table areas, and benches under the pergolas in the main open space area. Low level lighting has been integrated into walls and/or stands alone. • The restroom is located for maintenance access, and is situated close to the plaza and to the main open space/performance area. Participant comments and questions during the presentation included: 1) Question: Is the lighting for the walls and seating going to be overhead lights or recessed lighting? Response: The lighting incorporated in the walls and seating is intended to be recessed lighting. 2) Comment: Likes the modern restroom photo example. Response: The restroom building will be architecturally modern. 3) Comment: Likes that no hills (for kids to roll on) run directly into the street. 4) Comment: Likes overhead structures that provide shade and cover during rainy season. 5) Question: What plants will be in the rain gardens? Response: The plant palette will be native and drought tolerant, with a few accent plants and boulders; more gardenesque. 6) Comment: The rain garden should look aesthetically appealing. 7) Question: Will there be enough parking at the library? Response: There will be 43 stalls around the park and underground parking will be included for the library and adjacent mixed use housing. There will also be underground parking for the other multi -housing units as they are developed. 8) Question: Will the underground parking be available for people using the park?

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?

Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan 143 Renton Reporter Article Kids get a chance to weigh in on new Sunset Park design Highlands residents hear about features of anew neighborhood park that's being planned there.—/mageCredit: Tracey Compton, Renton Reporter byTRACEY COMPTON, 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 meeting on 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 forth 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, especiallywith 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 Betlach is "very excited" and "really happy" about the 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 really 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 for2017 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 her team go before the Renton Parks Commission on October 14 and the project could be recommended to City Council as soon as November.
