The arrest brings to an end years of police calls from neighbors of the known drug house. “We have been working on this for years,” said Kirkland Police Lt.

Council increases impact fees for new developments BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@kirklandreporter.com
The Kirkland City Council approved a school impact fee hike on new development during its Dec. 9 meeting. The ordinance increases the fees for new
single-family homes from $6,302 to $9,623 for new multi-family unit developments. The fee increased from $207 per unit to $745. The new impact fees will go into effect at the beginning of the new year. Impact fees are based on the impact
fee schedule and go in to effect on the date a complete building permit application is filed. The new impact fees are intended to help the Lake Washington School District handle the increase in students, according to spokes-

lans by the Lake Washington School District to redraw school boundaries has drawn the ire of parents whose children will be pushed out of the Lakeview School Zone under all the proposals. LWSD is currently examining three separate options for rezoning the school boundaries in an attempt to properly accommodate student growth by placing them in schools based on capacity and expected growth in each neighborhood. Though there were originally seven scenarios considered by the school board at a Nov. 17 study session, they have been whittled down to three. The district sought public input on these three options for the Lake Washington Learning Community from Dec. 1-15. The problem, as Lakeview and Kirkland Middle School parents see it, is that in all three scenarios their children are pushed out to Ben Franklin Elementary and Rose Hill Middle School. Meanwhile, a subsidized housing complex located across the South Kirkland Park and Ride on Northeast 38th Place is slated to be a part of Lakeview Zone. Parents are even disputing the numbers the district is offering to justify their decision, claiming they don’t add up, such as subsidized housing complex, which is estimated to only have seven students attend Lakeview Elementary. Bellevue resident Deanna Androski, a parent with two children in the Lakeview Zone, said she first moved into her home on the west
side of I-405 a decade ago so that her children could attend Lakeview Elementary. Though they live in Bellevue, as do many of the families affected by the proposal, they are located within the LWSD. Under any of the three proposals, Androski’s children will be pushed to the other side of Interstate 405, which she sees as essentially kicking them out of the neighborhood. Androski, who said she volunteers up to 10 hours a week at Lakeview, said she does not understand why people who have lived in the school zone for years are being pushed out in order to make room for people who have yet to move in and have no current ties to the community. “We don’t understand how this is logical or fair,” she said. “We’re deeply invested. The families in this neighborhood have owned the homes for a decade and we send our kids to the schools for a reason.” Under all three options, 42 students would be moved from Lakeview to Ben Franklin. Meanwhile, under two of the three options, an additional 21 students would be moved to Ben Franklin from Benjamin Rush Elementary. In a letter to the school board and director, Androski said they are treating the proposal as though the decision was a foregone conclusion and that it would unnecessarily divide a neighborhood. “It is absolutely unacceptable to cut our homes out of the Lakeview zone - kids that have been established in their school - while including the apartment complex on 38th that is going to be populated [ more LWSD page 3 ]

“When employees are returned from leave, that indicates that the issues that caused the district to put the employees on leave no longer merit such a leave,” said Lake Washington School District spokesperson Kathryn Reith. “Generally, that means an investigation has established knowledge that satisfies the district’s concerns to a level that permits the leave to be rescinded.” An email on Monday to parents of football players at JHS stated that Shaun Tarantola and Lele Te’o were reinstated late last week. They will return to the classroom in January following Winter Break, according to the distirct. Tarantola is a health and physical education teacher at the high school, while Te’o is the athletic director at Kamiakin Middle School and works security for the school. LWSD placed them on leave in early November. Five C-team players, all sophomores, are still under investigation by the Kirkland Police Department (KPD) for allegedly sexually assaulting a special-needs student on Oct. 22 in the school’s locker room. All five players were expelled from the school pending the result of the

right now. Our next step is to go through that feedback and see what we’re hearing from parents.” Reith stated that the district must redraw school zones after the school district bond failed to get 60 percent approval, which would have helped with overcrowding in schools. In October, the district sought input on a plan to redirect funds that would go, among other things, towards installing one portable at Franklin Elementary, 10 portables at Lake Washington High School, and modifications to Juanita High School creating offices for teachers during their planning periods. “If we’re not building schools how can we most efficiently use that space now and where can we add space through portable classrooms or additions

with kids that do not yet have connections to a school but get a space at Lakeview while my daughter does not,” she wrote. She added that if any residential area should be zoned into Ben Franklin, it should be the apartments. “Leave our pocket of single family homes intact and our haven up on 113th alone,” she wrote. “We work hard for Lakeview, our kids are established there and our daughter feels safe there.” On thepetitionsite.com, there is a petition to stop the rezoning of Lakeview with 99 signatures. In the meantime, Androski said they are weighing their legal options, as parents are accusing the district of providing vague and incomplete information as to the justification for
their proposed decision. Kathryn Reith, spokesperson for the LWSD, said the district is trying to keep as many neighborhoods together as possible, but “most of the time, any scenario we create isn’t perfect.” “You look for, obviously, things that are on the border between two schools and see how many kids live in those areas,” she said. “So if you’ve got a small area and realize there are 150 kids in that area and you need only 25 that’s not going to work. There’s a bit of trial and error to this.” Reith added that they have accepted further feedback from parents and will be reviewing it as they move forward. “We’ve gotten a lot of good feedback and we’re looking at what we might do as a result,” she said. “That’s kind of where we are

Cottonwood trees at Carl Sandberg Elementary need to be maintained
Editors note: This letter was emailed to the Kirkland Reporter as a letter to the editor and to an official with the Lake Washington School District.
Over the last 28 years that I have lived across 82nd Avenue Northeast from Carl Sandberg Elementary School, the cottonwood trees have caused concern for the safety of people walking by and for property. My husband and I asked on a number of occasions over the years that something be done about these trees. Besides the mess the leaves and the “cotton” causes in our yards, some of the branches that have fallen have been quite large. A few years ago during the school construction project, we approached the men removing some of the other trees on the property and asked if they were going to take out the cottonwoods. We were told they had specific instructions to protect these trees from any damage. They were not to be removed. An occurrence on Oct. 17, is the reason for this [letter]. When I arrived home from work I found a note stuck to my door from Puget Sound Energy stating, “A branch broke your service. Please contact an electrician to replace your weather head.” I have contacted an electrician but because of the weather, he has not been able to replace it. Attached are pictures of the trees taken two days after the damage.

Firewood, Fuel & Stoves
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.

What if our electric grid can’t keep up with our fast-growing economy? The Eastside economy is booming. But soon this growth will exceed our electric grid’s capacity to deliver dependable power. The grid hasn’t had a major upgrade in 50 years, and without substantial new upgrades we could face more disruptive and longer power outages. To protect local jobs and businesses, PSE is working with Eastside communities on a safe, reliable solution. Learn more at pse.com/energizeeastside
