Town Center turmoil is a familiar story By Katie Metzger
kmetzger@mi-reporter.com
Interested citizens will have a chance to voice their opinions on Town Center — whether they want to see more local restaurants and retailers, a central public gathering area or more parking — in the coming months. At the City Council meeting on Feb. 23, staff presented plans to engage the community in the development of Town Center. Nine people were appointed to a Town Center Liaison Group, which plans to meet the week of March 9 with the city’s urban planning consultant and stakeholder group to continue the visioning

work that started last year. For Islanders who have seen the Central Business District evolve from its own town to a sea of strip malls to a semi-urban neighborhood, the concern about the density in and “vision” for the area is history repeating itself. The city went through a similar process 20 years ago, after a fivestory corporate center was built 1987 and the Growth Management Act (GMA) was enacted in 1991. In response to citizen concerns and to plan for the population growth in Mercer Island, a group of consultants, developers and Islanders — including Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Terry Moreman and former Councilmembers Peter Orser and Susan Blake — participated in a “citizen visioning” process in 1994. The three met with the
Reporter last week to talk about how the Town Center in 2015 compares to their 1994 vision. “Back when this code was written, there were seven hamburger joints downtown and one pizza parlor, and now there’s seven pizza parlors and one hamburger joint,” Blake said. “Things change.” One thing hasn’t changed: the desire for a vibrant, walkable, friendly downtown village. They planned to accomplish that with mixed use buildings in the three to five story range, depending upon whether or not developers choose to receive density and height bonuses in exchange for “significant” amenities. Last year, the city hired consultant Seth Harry to look at the code and ask if the amenities are significant enough. “That’s part of the lessons learned and the evolution,” Orser said. “As a community we’re getting better, and learning from our experiences.”

In the past week, the Mercer Island Police Department (MIPD) made two arrests of burglars suspected of committing five separate burglaries on the Island and one in Seattle. Both cases are still under investigation for possible links to other recent Island burglaries. On Feb. 12, Island police arrested a 31-year-old male and longtime resident. He confessed to two home burglaries and led detectives to the location of some of the stolen items, including jewelry and a computer. Contrary to speculation on social media, the suspect did not use a white van in committing these crimes, police said.

ARRESTS | FROM 1 Two days later at the 8200 block of East Mercer Way, officers responded to a reported burglary in which a rear sliding door had been shattered while the owners were not home.
Collaborating with Seattle Police Department and using the King County Sheriff ’s helicopter, Island police tracked the 24-yearold suspect to West Seattle, where he was arrested. The same suspect is believed to have committed two other burglaries the same night, one of them
on the 7200 block of West Ridge Lane. In total, the property taken during these crimes — including laptops, iPads, jewelry, rare coins and a handgun — appears to be worth $80,000 to 100,000 dollars. MIPD Detectives have determined that the two crime sprees are unrelated. The victims of all burglaries will be contacted, advised of the investigation and asked to identify property. MIPD had been running extra patrols from Feb. 14 to 22, focusing on neighborhoods that have recently experienced burglaries and car prowls. The department sent out a burglary notice on Feb. 4 addressing the community attention and concern about

BC - WSU partnership still uncertain
City briefs
Partnership must be ‘beneficial to Bellevue College’
Water system improvements to begin next month
by Josh Stilts
Bellevue Reporter
Bellevue College will not serve as a satellite campus for Washington State University, according to the college’s board of trustees. Working groups for each of the universities had only met once before Wednesday’s meeting, but talks will continue every other week until they decide if a partnership is mutually beneficial, according to board chairman Steve Miller. “This is a prime location for an educational institution,” Miller said of the Bellevue College campus. “We have a density of students, growing industry, supportive community for education, the possibility of big donors in the region, all of which makes this very attractive. The question from our point of view is, given what we’re trying to achieve, is this the best way to do it?” Last fall, officials from WSU approached BC president David Rule with
the idea of a partnership and after the board of trustees approved its exploration in December, a working group was formed. Russell Beard, Bellevue College’s VP of information technology services and its working group spokesperson, told faculty, students and community members the two groups are trying to determine what BC would look like as a hybrid university offering both four-year bachelor’s degrees and associates degrees. “The overarching theme is that if we can’t come up with something unique, then the conversation isn’t worth having,” Beard said. “It’s not really hard trying to figure out why they want to be in Bellevue. So we hold all the cards … The goal right now is trying to figure out if we should continue having this conversation. Bellevue College is going to do something extraordinary with or without WSU.” Miller said a partnership with WSU currently offers a lot of positives, especially financially, but ironing out the details will take time. If an agreement and deal can get struck, the

earliest anything could happen is five years, Beard said, adding it would take roughly two years for it to get approved by the Legislature and the governor and another three to align the school’s curriculum transitioning from BC’s quarter system to WSU’s semester system. Both working groups are slated to meet again next week to identify the outline for a memorandum of understanding. Although it’s another step toward a partnership, Miller said there’s still miles to go and there’s still a chance nothing comes of it. As the largest transfer facility to the University of Washington, a partnership with WSU could put that accessibility for students in jeopardy, which could be a deal breaker. Miller said any partnership would only be agreed to if it benefited the students, both current and future, and the surrounding community. But even if no agreement can be reached, Miller said that the college will change. “I don’t think there’s any going back for us,” Miller said. “We either go forward with WSU or go it alone. The status quo is no longer acceptable.”
Mercer Island is preparing to start the construction of the 2015 water system improvement project in March of this year, consisting of the replacement and installation of 5,480 feet of water mains, 107 water services and 17 fire hydrants. These are pre-scheduled Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) and not related to the upgrades required to fix issues found after the boil water advisories, said city communications and sustainability manager Ross Freeman. Project locations will be: Island Crest Way from S.E. 44th/Merrimount Drive to S.E. 40th Street; 85th Avenue S.E. from S.E. 42nd to S.E. 40th Street; 89th Avenue S.E. and 90th Avenue S.E. from S.E. 41st Street to S.E. 40th Street; and 93rd Avenue S.E. south of S.E. 72nd Street.

Addressing intradistrict transfers at the Feb. 12 Mercer Island School District Board of Directors meeting, MISD Chief Finance/Operations Officer Dean Mack told board members the MISD Boundary Committee suggested the district adopt a new transfer policy as MISD resets elementary boundaries. The suggestion comes after parents and community members pressed the Boundary Committee for flexibility at the Feb. 4 public hearing on a final recommendation for elementary boundaries. “We’re just trying to start the discussion,” Mack told the board. “We know there’s a lot of discussion around this topic. We want to recognize the fact that a transfer policy is important, and before that discussion gets too far out there, we want to make sure that everybody is aware that we are focused

The Mercer Island Teen Advisory board is hosting “Exploring Race & Social Justice: A Conversation” on Saturday, Feb. 28. The Teen Advisory Board wants to provide a space for Mercer Island community members to have a sensitive, yet necessary, conversation about racial and social justice in America. In the charged atmosphere following the events in Ferguson, Mo., and elsewhere, communities can
on the recommendations of the committee and moving forward with those recommendations.” Mack said one of the suggested attributes of a transfer policy would provide an open enrollment period, potentially around the month of April of the prior school year, with a 30-day period where parents could apply for a transfer to a school other than their neighborhood school. But Mack noted the Boundary Committee’s recognition of the district’s limited resources, particularly space. “If there’s a handful of children that want to transfer from one school to another, we can probably accommodate that,” Mack said. “But if there were 20, that could become problematic, because we’d have a situation where we have 35 kids in a first grade classroom somewhere. The committee feels like that directly conflicts with the purpose of building the fourth elementary.”
In the instance that there are too many requests for transfer, Mack said the committee recommended looking into a “fair system” of assigning transfers. “In the past… we have actually drawn the request out of a hat in order to make it fair,” he said. “If there were three spots available, we’d draw three names, and those would be the assignments.” Within the transfer policy, Mack said the committee recognized certain students with educational needs required them to attend to a specific school, as defined within their Individual Education Programs. Those students would automatically qualify for attendance. He also noted the committee recommended fifth graders receive priority for transfers in 2016-17, so long as there was space available within the desired school. The committee’s final transfer provision stated if a transfer was granted, it would be for the duration of a student’s attendance at
their desired grade school, meaning a transferring second grader would finish their third, fourth and fifth grade years at the school. While acknowledging parents and transitioning students may experience a mourning period, Mack said the three elementary school principals began working to create a transition plan for those attending new schools. “There’s a lot of thought going into this,” he said.

Morton Albert Stenchever, MD
Morton Albert Stenchever, MD was born January 25, 1931 to Harold and Lena Stenchever in Paterson, New Jersey. He died January 21, 2015, peacefully in his home on Mercer Island, Washington, at age 83. Dr. Stenchever enjoyed a long and distinguished career as a professor of obstetrics and gynecology. After completing his medical training, Dr. Stenchever entered the Air Force at Malmstrom AFB, Montana where he served as a captain for two years before joining the department of OB GYN at Case Western University in 1962. In 1970, he became the Chairman of OB GYN at the University of Utah. After seven years in Utah, Dr. Stenchever relocated to Seattle, where he served as Chairman of the department of OB GYN at the University of Washington, a position he kept for nineteen years. Dr. Stenchever taught medical students and residents, training an entire generation of obstetricians and gynecologists who are still in practice today. Dr. Stenchever was a member of more than twenty five medical Societies and editor of numerous journals including the Western Journal of Medicine, Obstetrics & Gynecology (The Green Journal), and most recently, Clinical Updates in Women’s Health Care. He authored more than 120 scientific papers in the fields of obstetrics, gynecology, and genetics and wrote or edited several textbooks, including Comprehensive Gynecology, one of the leading resources in his field. Despite Dr. Stenchever’s matchless academic achievements, nothing was more satisfying to him than his family. He was married for over 40 years to Diane Stenchever until her death in 1999. Mort shared Diane’s love of animals, and they traveled the world together. Mort is survived by his three sons, Michael, Marc, and Douglas, and eight grandchildren, Lindsay, Justin, Nicole, Chael, Shay, Joshua, Delaina, and Nathanial. After Diane’s passing, Mort married his second wife, Luba. Mort and Luba enjoyed more than 13 years together. They adored each other and spent their time traveling to Hawaii, Paris, and a variety of other destinations. Mort is also survived by Luba and her family including her children Lisa, Andrew, and Emily, and grandchildren Rachel, Derek, Lauren, Abe, Elianna, Chava, Ryan, Caroline, and Eden. As a long-time Mercer Island resident, Mort truly enjoyed entertaining his 17 grandchildren together with Luba in their south end home. Mort loved sharing stories, watching Marnier’s baseball, and attending grandchildren’s music recitals, dance exhibitions, and sporting events. Still, he remained active professionally into his 80s and was an avid reader with a variety of interests within and outside of his areas of scientific expertise. He leaves behind a wealth of memories and love. Mort will be greatly missed. 1253601

They have been talking to Hines about adding commuter parking and a Whole Foods. Harry said that definition of “amenity” is “too ambiguous in purpose, or conflicting in application, to consistently deliver the kind of meaningful public space described by the intent language of the code.” The city has volunteers on its Design and Planning Commissions to interpret the ideas, plans and codes and apply them to new projects. But that doesn’t mean that the plan, or the interpretation, is flawless. Councilmembers agree that the 1994 vision is still good, but needs “tweaking,” especially as the city updates its GMA-mandated Comprehensive Plan. With the Comp Plan update and Town Center vision occuring simulataneously, the city imposed a moratorium to slow down development and communicate with the public. A public hearing on the moratorium is set for March 2. A two‐day workshop to analyze public input and suggest changes to the development code is scheduled for March 20‐21.
Newest builder to host open house Residents and city leaders can join representatives from Hines for an informational open house to discuss Hines’ proposed apartment and retail project in the Town Center at 5:30 p.m. Feb. 26 at the Mercer Island Community and Event Center. The City Council recently imposed a fourmonth moratorium on downtown development, but it does not apply to buildings under two stories or to the Hines project, a five story mixeduse building at the south end of the block bound by 77th Avenue S.E., 78th Avenue S.E. and S.E. 29th Street. Hines representatives came before the city’s Design Commission in November 2013 and again in December 2014, presenting a massing study. They have said they wish to cooperate with city officials and citizens throughout the design review process, according to a letter sent to the City Council on Jan. 30.

Mercer Island girls advance to regionals
By Joseph Livarchik
The full range of emotions was on display during the 2015 Mat Classic XXVII Saturday, Feb. 21 at the Tacoma Dome. The push-and-pull of a come-from-behind late tournament win. The agonizing heartbreak of defeat in a career-ending match. And the euphoria of a long-held goal finally realized. When the dust finally settled, Mercer Island walked away with both its senior competitors at the state wrestling tournament taking the medal stand, with Evan Condon claiming the state title at 195 and Taylan Yuasa the state runner-up at 113. Competing with a dislocated finger since regionals, Condon scored two pins and a win
Bellevue seized its first 3A state boys swim and dive title since 1999 Saturday, Feb. 21 at King County Aquatic Center, topping defending champion Mercer Island 406-225.

Evan Condon wraps up coach Creighton Laughary in a celebratory bear hug following his 195 championship win Saturday at the Tacoma Dome.
Heading into overtime for the second-straight game in Friday’s district tournament lose-out matchup against Lakeside, it would’ve been understandable if the Mercer Island girls basketball team felt they were experiencing a bad case of deja vu. Three nights prior, the Islanders saw a close game
get away from them in a 78-75 double-overtime loss to the reigning 3A champion Cleveland Eagles. But what the Islanders couldn’t finish in two extra periods against Cleveland, they made sure to take care of Friday night. Mercer Island stamped its ticket to the state tournament’s regional round with a 42-36 overtime win over Lakeside Feb. 20 at Bellevue College. The Islanders finished the contest with the same defensive intensity they displayed at the
beginning of the game, only conceding a free throw to the Lions in the overtime period. But they did so after fighting off a second-half Lakeside rally, after holding the Lions to eight first-half points. “At halftime, we talked about continuing to keep our defensive pressure up and having more resiliency on the offensive end, and none of that happened,” Mercer Island coach Kaela

by decision before defeating Stanwood senior Garret Arrona in the 195 final 8-5. Soaking in his first state title, which came during the third-to-last round of the weekend, Condon admitted the wait leading up to his final match was starting to get a little nerve-wracking. “I’ve been here before and I thought I knew how much time there’d be between the beginning and the end, but when you’re actually there waiting to step on the mat, it definitely goes by pretty slow,” Condon said. “You get in your own head a little bit. It snuck up on [me] when it did come, but luckily I was ready. It’s just a great experience.” Coach Creighton Laughary, donned in Condon’s lucky serape at the senior’s request for his final match, beamed like a proud father, misty-eyed and smiling. He said it was a successful tournament run for two wrestling program stalwarts. “We took two guys to state and we lost one match the whole time,” Laughary

finish.” Getting to the 113 final was no cakewalk, as Yuasa came from behind against Edmonds-Woodway’s Sidat Kanyi. Trailing 10-7 with about 30 seconds to go in the match, Yuasa managed to score a takedown to send the match into overtime. In the extra period, Yuasa took Kanyi down again to claim a 12-10 victory. “Taylan beat a guy in the semifinals that beat him pretty handily in the semifinals a couple years ago,” Laughary said. “That was a huge win for him. And then to wrestle a state champ, he just laid it all on the line. That was amazing.” Seeing the final matches for two stalwarts on his varsity roster, Laughary stopped just short of calling the moment bittersweet. “They’re going on to bigger and better things, great things,” Laughary said. “As high school coaches, this is what we do. We just coach ‘em up every year, and we got a new crop and some guys returning. It’s sad we don’t have those particular guys, but if we did, something would be wrong.”
and 100 freestyle races. Caldwell registered AllAmerican Consideration times in both, winning the 50 free in 21 seconds and the 100 free in 45.8. “It felt great,” Caldwell said. “It was great to be with my team because it’s my last year and it was great to spend it with a great group of guys. I think I owe it all to the team, they were the ones that got me here. Chauntelle has been the most excellent coach I’ve had for four years, and she’s the one that’s inspired me to keep swimming and get to where I’ve been today.” The Islanders were runners-up in the 200 and 400 freestyle relay events. The team of Caldwell, Joseph Li,
Oliver Hoff and Ben Gore finished the 200 in 1:27.35, while Gore, Hoff, Andrew Fukuda and Caldwell swam the 400 in 3:11.03. In the 200 medley relay, the team of Christopher Shin, Fukuda, Li and Connor Vacca placed eighth (1:42.61). Mercer Island had five more swimmers reach the medalist stand in four other events. Gore was fourth (1:58.03) in the 200 IM, while Fukuda placed eighth (2:01.49). Hoff was fourth in the 500 free (4:45.21), Ben Dixon placed fifth in the diving competition (376.8) and Fukuda was fifth in the 100 breaststroke (1:00.28).

OUR MASSAGE IS OVER THE TOP!

Coming off a heartbreaking triple-overtime loss to Seattle Prep in the 3A Sea-King district quarterfinals, Mercer Island was looking for a little more magic in Friday’s lose-out game against Lakeside to keep its state tournament aspirations alive. But behind 51 points from two of its backcourt players, Lakeside proved too much, beating the Islanders 68-54 in their consolation matchup Friday night at Bellevue College. Isiah Brown had a game-high 31 points for the Lions (20-7, 10-6), while backcourt mate Kiki Boyle sprung for 20 points, knocking down six 3-point shots on the evening. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen a guard as good as Isiah Brown, and I’ve been coaching, playing and watching high school basketball for almost 30 years,” Mercer Island coach Gavin Cree said. “I haven’t seen a guard as good as him, not in Washington. He’s special. And Boyle, we wanted guys other than (Daejon) Davis and Brown to beat us, and he beat us.” Mercer Island led 17-10 in the opening period before Brown knocked down a 3-pointer to cut the deficit to four at the end of the first quarter. But

her team’s showing, noting the Islanders’ nine-year run of finishing no lower than second at the state meet. “We finished in front of 42 other teams that were here, that is amazing,” Johnson said. “At the beginning of the season, we only had five guys that were returning to the team that had been at state. We have 14 guys here today. I think that that is an amazing accomplishment to get that many extra guys into the meet.” Mercer Island boasted a state champion in two events, with senior Ian Caldwell winning the 50
said. “Our guys battled, they worked hard to get here and it paid off. They did a really good job. They took advantage of every opportunity, which is what we asked them to do. “We say, ‘weird things happen in the Dome,’ so…” he said, trailing off with a smile. For Yuasa, it marked the end of a remarkable prep wrestling career. After scoring a pin and winning two close decisions through three rounds, Yuasa fell to last year’s 106 state champion, Clai Quintanilla of North Central, by pinfall in the 113 final. Yuasa did his best to smile for photos and attested getting to the final round was all he wanted after injuring his knee at last year’s tournament, but it was clear the second-place medal was not the one he sought. “Tonight was the end of my career, I have really mixed emotions about it,” Yuasa said. “It’s kind of nice to be over, but I’m sure I’ll miss it a lot. It was a great way to end in the state finals. It wasn’t what I wanted, but it was still a great place to

Mercer Island’s Josh Stenberg struggles to find an opening against the Lakeside defense Feb. 20 at Bellevue College. in the second, the Islanders (17-9, 10-2) only managed to score five points while seeing Lakeside close the half on a 9-0 run to lead 32-22 at the break. Lakeside went up by 17 in the third quarter with another 9-0 run, which included five points from Brown and a dunk from Daejon Davis. The Islanders were able to cut the deficit to ten before Boyle struck with his own personal 9-0 run, hitting three-straight 3-pointers to give the Lions a commanding 50-31 advantage with 1:37 to go in the third. Mercer Island would get no closer than 11. Sam Nordale, Andrew Pickles and Nick Taylor each had 14 to lead the Islanders.
After the game, Cree praised his seniors for leading a young team to a season that was, in his eyes, one stop away from a top-four seed in the regional tournament. “We lost a lot of pieces from last year, one Division I player and some other guys who really scored the ball for us,” Cree said. “We obviously could’ve won the other night. Tonight was tough, but we could’ve won against Seattle Prep. But this was a great season for a team that had a lot to replace.” The Islanders’ Gabriel Boucaud, Jack Counihan, David Emanuels, Evan Shaddle and Nick Taylor will graduate this year.

But thankfully, we made adjustments right at the end and we got it done.” Trailing Mercer Island 16-8 at the break, Lakeside opened the second half with a 7-0 run to turn an eight-point deficit into a 17-16 advantage. Mercer Island responded with four points from Anna Luce and two 3-pointers from Jess Blakeslee to go ahead 27-21, but the Lions managed to close the gap, trailing 27-25 at the end of the third quarter. The Lions kept their momentum going in the fourth, opening with an 8-0 run to take a 33-27 lead midway through the period. Mercer Island responded with eight unanswered

Lakeside’s Kimijah King, scoring six points in the fourth quarter, managed to draw a trip to the line for a one-in-one with 42 seconds left in regulation. King knocked down two free throws to ultimately send the game into overtime, where the Islanders sought redemption. “Kaela said this was another opportunity for us to win in overtime, especially after losing in overtime against Cleveland,” Blakeslee said. In the extra time, Lakeside’s Kallin Spiller split one of two free throws to give the Lions a 36-35 advantage, but the Lions wouldn’t score again. Blakeslee answered with a layup, then stole the ball on Lakeside’s ensuing possession. Feeding the ball to
