Potala Village developers to begin site cleanup BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@kirklandreporter.com
A
fter several years of controversy, cityimposed moratoria and legal battles, the developers of the Potala Village project are making headway on their proposed 88 unit apartment complex on Lake
Washington Boulevard. After demolishing the previous buildings and submitting a revised building permit application in December 2013, developers with Path America have acquired several cleanup permits. Independent contractor Kane Environmental and
the Department of Ecology are working with the city and developer Lobsang Dargey to implement the cleanup action plan, which was created in September 2013 by Earth Solutions NW, LLC. “Testing to date indicates low levels of dry-cleaning solvents in a small area to

Kirkland police K9 injured in suspect search BY MATT PHELPS mphelps@kirklandreporter.com
A Kirkland Police Department tracking K9 was accidentally struck by a police cruiser early on the morning of April 4 during a suspect search. The K9 named Thor, who was momentarily knocked unconscious, was transport-
ed to Seattle Veterinary Specialists located in Kirkland and is recovering in good condition. Police received a call for a possible felony assault at about 12:30 a.m. in the 13000 block of NE 70th Place. “The suspect reportedly assaulted the victim with a broken piece of glass and was last seen leaving the area on
foot,” said Kirkland police Lt. Mike Murray. Thor and his handler, officer Daniel Hopkins, responded to the area and began tracking the suspect. Another officer working a perimeter post observed who he believed to be the suspect in the 6300 block of 132nd Ave. NE. A third officer responding to assist,
inadvertently struck Thor with the front of his police cruiser. Officer Hopkins was not struck or injured. The suspect Thor was tracking for the assault is currently in custody at the Kirkland Police Department for investigation of seconddegree assault. As a precaution, Thor was kept overnight at Seattle Veterinary Specialists for observation.
While most coffee shops are alive in the mornings as workers rush to grab their caffeine fix, some may argue St. James Espresso in Kirkland is truly vibrant in the evening - at least once a month, that is. Since October 2013, the Great Ideas discussion group has held a monthly meeting at the cafe to discuss topic such as love, memories, courage and why there are so many religions. “We say we’re not about finding a solution, we’re about finding beautiful questions,” said Great Ideas organizer Margit Moore. “The questions that really cause you to think and ponder and come to those conversations is what the goal is.” St. James Espresso manager Matthew Reidt said he
welcomes the communitycentered meet up and is open a half-hour later during monthly conversation, as the group often becomes immersed in discussion well into the hour and a half that’s allotted. Comprised of about eight people - five regulars and 20 irregulars - Great Ideas was formed by Moore as a way to provoke thought and learning from other people’s perspectives. Moore, a Kirkland resident, has taught English, social studies and philosophy, and is currently in the process of opening up an alternative school. She recalls a philosophy course when she once taught students utilitarian and universal ethics. To further study the concept of ethics, Moore had her seniors interact with first graders, who were study[ more IDEAS page 7 ]

Using social media as the platform for the charity challenge, members of the public are encouraged to vote for their favorite non-profit on the Windermere Real Estate Facebook page. The 21 competing non-profits all reflect the Windermere Foundation’s mission to provide support and services to low-income and homeless families. “We wanted to honor the Windermere Foundation’s 25th anniversary in a way that would engage our agents, offices, and the pub-

During the past 25 years, the Windermere Foundation has donated a portion of the proceeds from every home purchased or sold through Windermere towards supporting low-income and homeless families in communities throughout the Western U.S. As Windermere has grown through the years, so too has the Windermere Foundation, which now encompasses ten states and has raised over $26 million for nonprofits that provide shelter, clothing, children’s programs, emergency assistance, and other services to those in need.

Let’s try something new instead of more levies You have to love the way everything gets turned around when politics and emotions get involved. I would challenge you to find someone who is “anti-school or anti-children,” the label that is placed on a person just tired of government not paying for services it is responsible for. And there are the uninformed people who get caught up in not looking at facts but skew it into a dislike of children and schools. We don’t get to vote on many of the pet projects that get funded; however, schools are always in need and special levies put in place. Does anyone look at the pie chart for their property tax bill? The state school funding is 22.39 percent of the total bill and the local school funding is 31.82 percent of the total bill. That is more than 54 percent and we still don’t have enough unless we pass this additional proposition. It has nothing to do with wanting a “one room school house with a wood burning stove,” as Jill Stoddart suggests. It has to do with funding essentials first, then if there is enough left over for “environmentally sustainable” schools, go for it. Many analyses report that building and paying the exorbitant prices for these “21st century schools” is not cost effective. By the time the cost is recouped, it is an outdated school and we will be right back with new bond measures for our emergency situation “for the kids.” And once they are voted in the first time, they seem to be in for a lifetime. I am a grandmother and my daughter in-law is a teacher, so it is not at all that I am anti-school or anti-children. I am just practical. Someone stated “why is it that teachers are the only profession that is underpaid?” It is true, when is the last time you heard plumbers, reporters, librarians or whoever are underpaid and we need to vote in more money for them? Many play on emotions to get these things accepted and point fingers to the “anti-school lobby.” Let’s try something new and look at reality - what can we afford to do without new levies and putting a hardship on all. What a new idea.

Two significant transportation issues There are two significant transportation issues that Kirkland voters need to keep track of: The first is tolling on the I-405 express lanes and the second is $60 car tabs. • I-405 express lane tolling Currently in Olympia, the Washington State Transportation Commission is pondering whether or not to drop two-plus free tolling in the I-405 express lanes. The impact of this decision will determine whether motorcycles are exempt or have to pay tolls. The impact of this decision will determine whether urban vehicles like the Smart Car, the Mini Cooper, the Scion IQ and the Fiat 500 will be exempt at full passenger capacity of two people or forever penalized. The Washington State Department of Transportation will mumble about their “three-plus free tolling congestion plan” but as Sen. Steve O’Ban of Seattle pointed out a couple of weeks ago in the Seattle Times, “WSDOT has no formal congestion plan.” The three-plus express-lane tolling fees is all about more dollars to sustain the department. The State Route 520 bridge project is in disarray and Bertha is entombed on the Seattle waterfront. The department is trying to find money to cover all their costly mistakes. I urge you to contact Dan O’Neal, chairman of the Washington State Transportation Commission, and ask that the Interstate 405 express lane tolling be kept at the current two-plus free toll. • King County Council $60 car tabs
The council has pitted drivers, or vehicle owners, against bus riders. The assumption by the King County Council is that poor folks ride the bus while the rich folk drive. In reality many of the vehicle owners are as poor or worse off than the bus riders. Many low income people have vehicles because their job requires that they have a car. Many low income people need a car because bus schedules and routes do not match their work hours and locations. The working poor who own vehicles at great financial sacrifice have purchased cars, make car payments, pay insurance premiums, do automobile maintenance, purchase fuel, pay state and federal highway taxes, and often pay state highway tolls. These individuals should not be expected to pay another $60 in car tabs to support Metro bus services. Metro needs to manage itself better and raise bus fares to support their operations. I urge you to vote no on the $60 license tab issue. On a side note: Personally, I think we owe Sen. Andy Hill and Sen. Rodney Tom a “thank you” for doing their legislative job in Olympia by blocking a 12 cent gas tax hike.

Support LWSD bond measure Please join me in supporting the Lake Washington High School bond measure. As a community with a huge commitment to assuring the best educational opportunities for our children we must be prepared for the additional 180 classrooms that we will need in the future just to meet the space requirements needed to accommodate the reductions in K-3 class sizes the legislature has funded in response to the Supreme Court’s school funding decision. And we must assure that the schools our kids and grandkids attend meet the standards that were established by the school board in 1997. It is unfortunate that the anti-school bond group has quoted me on their website. The quote is taken out of context and they neglect to show that I voted to support the bond measure at that meeting. It would have been a bit more ethical, and appreciated, if they had checked with me about the accuracy of the quote they intended to use. My comments referenced the concern that there is a perception of a lack of transparency about the school district proposal. Ironically, I was referring to the alleged “lack of transparency” coming from the opposition to the bond measure. I believe the district has addressed those concerns, openly and honestly, and I hope you will support this bond measure.
Penny Sweet, Kirkland
Penny Sweet helps school district save face Having watched some of the school district’s decisions over the past 25 years, Trevor Keith’s letter to vote no on the district’s bond is creditable and closer to the truth. Penny Sweet has failed to acknowledge what went on. She evidently has not been told of what went on or if she has been told, is helping the Lake Washington School District save face. Penny Sweet’s letter is proof she’s gullible and has refused to expose the truth. The district has made bad and costly non-productive decisions. On several occasions, they wasted a lot of our money. The public should not listen to Penny Sweet. Much to my disappointment, the district has not openly and honestly made many of their decisions public, the cost of which could have been avoided. If they did, some of their decisions would be embarrassing.

Brand new schools don’t provide a good education It’s been quite interesting and amusing to read recent letters from parents and advocacy groups complaining about “old schools” and “class overcrowding.” It’s as if only brand new schools and spacious classrooms are conducive to student learning and their future success. On top of this, there was an initial $755 million bond measure to “address our urgent growth crisis.” I cannot speak for others but I went to a high school outside the United States where the average class consisted of 60 students. To top it off, the students were the “janitors.” We had to take turns daily to clean our own classrooms after school, wash the boards and shine the windows, including upstairs classrooms. With all this “burden” on top of our academic pressures, college enrollment was at least 90 percent and about 60 percent or more went on to graduate school. Needless to say, I chuckle when I read about “excited” parents defending and fighting for their children’s educational environment and funding. It’s as if newness and money were the criteria to a successful education. All I can say, from my own first-hand experience, is when quality education is championed and instilled the school building, whether old, new or technology-filled, will not make or break a student’s success.

I support the School bond and believe the guest author of April 4 has his facts and math wrong. First, Lake Washington School District schools can’t be compared to the poorlydesigned schools in the Monroe School District. The Monroe School District suffers from a lack of community support for bonds to build new schools. The budget compromises and restricted choices Monroe has been forced to make should not be a model for Lake Washington. The new Monroe High School is disappointing. The school was partially built in 1999 with a $24 million bond. Its last section was completed in 2005 financed by a second bond for $4.7 million. Now, nine years after its completion, the high school uses eight portables for classrooms and the main building is still overcrowded. The industrial arts and the physical education spaces, the hallways and cafeteria are especially crowded. Athletic fields are subpar. Also, no one likes that the school looks an awful lot like the nearby prison. Additionally, a recent school inspection reported that the “cost consciousness (of original materials and construction) is showing.” The district is facing limited options for improving the high school. To learn more, visit the facilities page of their website at www.monroe. wednet.edu. Second, the $404 million bond most certainly can be financed and retired over 20 years and 25 cents per $1,000 assessed value is not the bond’s annual interest rate. Since 1998, voters have approved three property tax increases for financing school construction
permanent annual rate for the new bond. It’s incorrect to use this net increase of 25 cents per thousand to calculate the payments needed to pay off the proposed bond. Finally, LWSD is a good fiscal manager. See the state auditor’s report of May 28, 2013.
1012609
Guest opinion writer has math wrong on bond
projects. These tax revenues pay the interest and principal on two bonds and a construction levy that have financed 22 school modernizations, a new STEM school, and additional classroom space. As a result, in 2014, the combined property tax for these capital projects and the debt service is $1.31 per $1,000 of assessed value. Currently, about a quarter of this tax revenue pays down the construction levy and the rest for outstanding bonds. For the proposed bond, the school district worked with bond underwriters to determine the annual payments. The district and the underwriters reviewed existing payments for the other bonds and levy, noting when these loans were scheduled to be paid off. A payment schedule for the proposed bond was set so that its payments increase as the other bonds and levy are retired. The net effect is to keep the annual total property tax rate for capital projects and debt service at an acceptable level. All five elected School Board members reviewed and approved the financing plan for the proposed bond. Visit “Five Facts about Funding New Schools” at www.lwsd.org. If voters approve the proposed bond, the total property tax rate for capital projects and debt service will only increase by 25 cents next year, from $1.31 to $1.56 per thousand. This annual rate won’t change much until decreasing to about $1.40 per thousand in year 2022. The annual share of the tax revenue to pay the new bond will increase as the old bonds and levy are paid off, allowing the new bond to be paid off in 20 years. So, the 25 cents per thousand is a net increase next year in the total property tax rate for capital projects and debt service, and not a

LCB approves lottery process for retail marijuana The Washington State Liquor Control Board approved staff ’s recommendation for a lottery on April 2 that will select the apparent successful applicants for marijuana retail licenses. The independent, doubleblind process will take place April 21-25 and will produce an ordered list of applicants that the agency
will use to continue its retail licensing process. The agency expects to begin issuing retail licenses no later than the first week of July. Initiative 502 directed the board to limit the number of marijuana retail stores by county. In its rules, the board limited the number of stores statewide to 334. The most populated cities
within each county are allotted a maximum number of stores with the remainder at large within the county. The rules further state that if the board receives more applications for a jurisdiction than there are stores allocated, the state would use a lottery process for producing a ranked order of applicants. The allocated
list of stores and locations are available on the I-502 implementation section of the board’s website. The agency contracted with the Social and Economic Sciences Research Center of Washington State University and the accounting firm for Washington’s Lottery, Kraght-Snell of Seattle, to independently
produce rank-ordered lists of applicants in each jurisdiction where a lottery is necessary. Being identified as the apparent successful applicant is not a guarantee that the selected applicant will receive a license. There are multiple requirements for licensure such as the applicant must pass a criminal history and financial

of Ecology. Musa said perchloreothylene can affect human health depending on the health of each person. “Breathing [perchloreothylene] for short periods of time can adversely affect the human nervous system,” she wrote in an email. “Effects range from dizziness, fatigue, headaches and sweating to incoordination and unconsciousness.” However, she added that these effects would likely not occur at the levels that are normally found in the environment. Other contaminations present, such as gasoline and diesel, can cause skin irritation, damaged nervous system or lungs, severe poison-
ing if ingested and cancer, if exposed to benzene - the main chemical in both - for long periods of time. Musa said the site’s PCE level is detected at 10 micrograms per liter and needs to be cut in half, according to the Model Toxics Control Act. Gasoline was detected in one part of soil at 340 milligrams per kilogram and another at 750 milligrams per kilogram which needs to be reduced to 100 milligrams per kilogram. Diesel, or lube oil hydrocarbons, levels are expected to be above the legal level, which is 2,000 milligrams per kilogram, but are at 7,400 milligrams per kilogram, according to Ruggeri.
Lead was also reported to be at 1,600 milligrams per kilogram, but needs to be taken down to a cleanup threshold of 250 milligrams per kilogram. “Additionally, a 300-gallon underground tank has been identified,” Ruggeri said. “The applicant thinks that there are two to three tanks, which will all be removed.” Cleanup must be complete before the building permit can be approved, Ruggeri said. She expects once it’s started, it shouldn’t take more than a month or two, unless something unexpected occurs. While cleanup hasn’t officially begun, Musa said excavation and removing landfill is generally recommended for soil cleanups with further ground water
testing. The amount of soil needing to be removed can’t be estimated at this time but will be determined during the soil removal process, Ruggeri said. Once site cleanup is complete, an unknown date, the city will issue a building permit. Dargey has proposed the construction of a four-story, 88 residential units with 4,802 square feet of commercial space. A two level, 26,170 square feet underground parking garage will also be constructed, which will incorporate 183 parking spaces. Dargey originally proposed a 143 residential unit apartment complex in 2011 in the unlimited density neighborhood business zone.
the contamination is not present at the ground surface, it’s unlikely to be harmful to human health since ingestion and skin contact are the only human exposure pathways “of primary concerns at this time,” citing information from David Rankin of Kane Environmental. Gasoline-range hydrocarbons, lube oil hydrocarbons and lead exist in the soil at the former gasoline service station site, but PCE - tetrachloroethene or perchloroethylene, found in drycleaning fluid - is present in the ground water in some areas, according to Donna Musa with the Department
investigation as well as have a location that is not within 1,000 feet of a school, park or other area specified by Initiative 502 as places where children congregate. The board is expected to post the ordered list of applicants for each jurisdiction in the public records section of the agency website on May 2, 2014. Additional information including a FAQ document is available on the WSLCB website at www.liq.wa.gov Neither Dargey nor any spokespeople for Path America would talk to the Reporter about the vision or plan for the Kirkland Potala Village project. After a judge ruled that the city had to process the building permit per city zoning code at the time Dargey first submitted his shoreline permit application, he reapplied in September but put the permit process on hold until December. City officials filed an appeal on that ruling and are currently in litigation but must process the permit according to law in the meantime.

on that personal of a level on any other topic,” said Wheeler, who will be facilitating the next discussion on identity, DNA and genetic engineering. And it won’t be that “deep” each time, Moore said, but she does think if conversations are successful, it’ll leave a person thinking about the topic for weeks at a time, which is one of the goals. “You do leave more each time thinking about that one word,” Wheeler said.

ing what it meant to be good community members. After reading the same book, the two groups of students came together and had an “amazing conversation.” “The seniors were so blown away by what the first graders knew,” Moore said. “They said, ‘oh my god, that’s universal ethics. Oh my god, that’s utilitarian ethics!’” Structured in the sense that everyone’s allowed time to talk and are discouraged from becoming defensive or pushy in their opinion, Great Ideas gives its members a chance to walk away more enlightened. “I think each one of us, when we go into the discussion group, we always leave knowing a little bit more about our own selves,” said Jeff Wheeler, Kirkland resident. “When we ask those questions, not only are we pondering those questions that we want to know, but we also really want to know what others think and what makes it different, what in their mind is important.” Moore and Wheeler’s favorite conversation was their most recent one, which centered on the topic of courage. Many members had differing views on what it means to be courageous - psychological versus physical fear. The group also posed the question: What would you be doing in your life if courage was not an issue? While Moore said she grappled with becoming a licensed foster care parent, the question caused her to take action. Wheeler also felt the question solidified some answers in his own personal life. “I started music in my late teens and stopped for a
decade,” Wheeler, 33, said. “I guess I was always kind of afraid that if I took too much time in my life and didn’t focus on other things, it would hinder my professional life or future.” Wheeler said he’s now actively pursuing his love of music and hopes to make strides this summer. Others in the group committed to publishing self-written children’s books and teaching spanish in the U.S. and Spain. “We’ve never really been

“It’s very interesting what seven other people can do to open your mind.” Which is why having a diverse group is critical to Great Ideas, Wheeler and Moore said. People from Bolivia, Colombia, Ghana and, of course, Washington have all graced the coffee shop meetings with their unique ideas and perspectives, who differ in age from their 20s to their 70s. “Sometimes people see Kirkland as a very whitebread sort of community and that there is a lot of wealth and education and advantage and maybe entitlement in downtown Kirkland,” Moore said, “but if you know about Kirkland … there is actually diversity in Kirkland and growing diversity, which is really exciting.” Moore hopes more people from all backgrounds will

Kirkland group goes informal after Lake Street Place SEPA BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@kirklandreporter.com
K
This artist’s redering shows what the Lake Street Place project will look like when built in downtown Kirkland. CONTRIBUTED Regala said, adding that it was longer than the average project. Around the same time the SEPA determination of non-significance was issued, Kirkland Neighbors United issued their own determination. “After more than a year of effort, due to lack of funding, we are not going to renew the business license, PO Box or website for Kirkland Neighbors United,” said a Kirkland Neighbors United group email on March 24. Brian Rohrback, a member of the group, said they haven’t disbanded, but have just gone informal. They continue to work with a lawyer, as well. “We will continue to email and send information around as we know it,” said Rohrback, who is a Portsmith resident. “We’re the touchstone for the Merrill Gardens people. My mom lives there, so we haven’t gone away.” The group of about 60-70 members solicited donations on their website www. kirklandneighborsunited. com, but couldn’t come up with the $500 annual cost of administration and the
several thousand dollars for legal fees. Sandra Hart, another member, said the decision was made by the four group officers after receiving the SEPA report. “The SEPA determination was a setback, but we are just as determined as before,” Hart said in an email. “Our main concern is that our conflict is being perceived as simply a view obliteration grievance when there is much more at stake.” Although Hart said the newer building design is better than the original, the current building design will result in a “stifling, cocoonlike structure that will create a dark canyon between the new project and Portsmith.” This is why she’s “astounded” that the SEPA decision did not choose to require an Environmental Impact Statement. “This will create a passageway between the buildings that will be potentially more dangerous to our residents (because of the lack of visibility from the street),” she said, “as well as a potential air-quality problem created
by the proximity of the building in conjunction with the exhaust venting directly into the newly formed canyon.” Regala said the mitigated measures - which include installing a speed bump, painting curbs, a crosswalk and inputting road signs, among others - were made in consideration of the nearby residents, but noted there’s no mitigation for addressing the building size. That was determined in the Design Review process. “From my analysis, we felt that we determined that our process, in terms of how the zonings are reviewed, they already address the issue of building size,” Regala said. “So in that sense, it’s a neighbor’s concern, but there’s not a mitigating measure.” Rohrback said the mitigated measures, which can be found in detail on the city’s website, certainly can’t hurt but he doesn’t feel they’re an adequate solution. Rohrback said the parking garage entrance location will force nearly 100 percent of cars to enter and exit in front of the Merill Gardens’ front door.

irkland city officials recently released documents outlining several mitigated measures developers of the Lake Street Place project will need to undergo as they construct the five-story office, retail and parking structure in the middle of downtown Kirkland. “The vast majority [of the mitigated measures] are related to either traffic or transportation issues and pedestrian safety,” said city of Kirkland Senior Planner John Regala, adding that many were a response to what they heard from the project’s neighbors. Since late 2012, several residents of the Portsmith and Merrill Gardens retirement home have been opposed to the scale and potential traffic impacts the project could bring. After appealing the Design Review Board approval in February 2013 and asking for a moratorium, Kirkland Neighbors United observed the process of a new proposal - split the construction into phases. Developer Stuart McLeod and architect Rick Chesmore went back to the Design Review Board for the phased approach but ultimately decided to go forward in constructing the entire project at once. The State Environmental Policy Act, or SEPA, application was submitted on June 10, 2013. A determination wasn’t issued until eight months later. “It took a while because of all the different components,”
“That’s 1,500 cars added a day,” he said, adding that there’s 100 too few parking spaces to begin with. “That’s a lot of cars.” Rohrback and his wife submitted a letter on March 27 explaining their issues with the SEPA determination. Ultimately, they don’t feel the traffic study was done properly because it was not done during the peak driving period. Regala said the Rohrback’s letter was submitted as a comment letter and does not act as an appeal. “With SEPA comments, the city will review and make a decision as to whether or not to keep the original determination, modify it, or withdraw it based on a determination that significant impacts are likely.” The deadline to appeal the determination was on March 28. Rohrback said the reason they didn’t appeal the determination is because of the limited time to respond and the “500 pages of documents” from the city made it hard to review in the two-week time frame. At this time, Rohrback and Hart have asked their attorney to come up with a series of options. Chesmore would not comment on the issue and directed the Reporter to McLeod, the developer, who couldn’t be reached for comment.

The city and Waste Management have worked together for years, successfully increasing diversion and recycling rates.” In the last few years, Kirkland, like many communities, has had to carefully consider community events in light of reduced public resources. Recently, organizers of the Kirkland Summer Concert series announced a shortfall in their fundraising goal for 2014. Increasingly, communities are relying on the private sector for sponsorships. “We are absolutely thrilled with this news, and it will certainly help to ease the burden of our fundraising efforts,” said Kirkland Summer Concert series organizer Julie Metteer. “While we know these funds won’t

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.
