Juanita association objects to both locations for aquatic center
Wants open space preserved at beach park BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@kirklandreporter.com
T
he Juanita Neighborhood Association (JNA) has taken a stance against the two proposed locations of the Kirkland Aquatic and
Recreation Center (ARC). In an Aug. 28 letter written to Juanita residents, the JNA expressed their opposition to the city’s proposal to place the ARC at the North Kirkland Community Center (NKCC) site along
with a second potential location on the north side of Juanita Beach Park (JBP). Among the reasons for their opposition included a lack of space necessary to accommodate all the
ARC’s facilities and heavy traffic at JBP. They also wrote they wish to preserve as much open space as possible in that area. Ken Albinger, president of the JNA, said the “2007
Juanita Park Master Plan” intended for the northern section of JBP to be used for fields or a skateboard park, but the ARC would add more density to the neighborhood. While he thinks the ARC would actually help with parking in the area, that’s not how the land was meant to be
used. “When Juanita Village was built to four stories and five or six stories, the tradeoff was to allow the beach to remain as open space,” he said. “It’s not the right depth for this neighborhood. This neighborhood is already [ more ARC page 3 ]

City extends comment on multi-family parking requirements
A
proposed change to lower parking requirements for multi-family residences is drawing concerns from the Kirkland Alliance of Neighborhoods (KAN). As a result, the Kirkland Planning Commission voted to extend the public comment on the matter during its Aug. 28 meeting with the Houghton Community Council. The proposed amendments would allow for 1.2 stalls for a studio, 1.3 stalls for a one bedroom unit, 1.6 stalls for a two bedroom unit, 1.8 stalls for a three bedroom unit, and require 10 percent of parking spaces to be set aside for visitor parking. However, the amendment would allow for a 15 percent reduction to the parking requirements if the property is located within half a mile of the Downtown Kirkland Transit Center.
[ ARC from page 1] taking the most density of any of the north neighborhoods.” Albinger said several other parks, including Crestwood and Heritage Park, would be better suited for the ARC site. The Kirkland Parks Board will make a recommendation at their next meeting on Sept. 10 and send it to the city council to consider at their Sept. 16 meeting. The board will also consider input from residents collected during a series of open houses on the subject, which took place during the spring and summer. Michael Cogle, the deputy director for the Kirkland Parks and Recreation Department, said other residents aside from the JNA have expressed similar opinions, though

others have supported placing the ARC at the JBP and at the NKCC sites. “It’s certainly something the park board will take seriously into consideration,” he said. The city first proposed building a new aquatic center after a 2007 study concluded that there was a “demonstrated need for the development of indoor recreation facilities to more adequately serve the recreation demands of the Kirkland community.” As proposed, the facility would include spaces for a number of sports, fitness, recreation, and aquatic activities, including pools for recreation, lap swimming, and therapy. The estimated cost for the facility (in 2007) was $42 million and for the moment remains

unfunded. Since the fall of 2013, the city’s Parks and Community Services Department, with support from The Sports Management Group, have been studying the proposal to have an ARC center that would meet the needs of the Kirkland community. The study was initiated following the announcement last summer by Lake Washington School District that the pool at Juanita High School would be closing.

Lynn Booth, both Norkirk Neighborhood residents, wrote in an Aug. 17 email to Regala that a 15 percent reduction within half a mile mile of the downtown area would “further aggravate the lack of parking currently available in the downtown core. The assumption that one and two bedroom residences will only have one stall and one and a half stalls respectively, is a flawed assumption. Most homeowners/renters have two cars especially if both are wage earners and need to commute to work.” Another Kirkland resident, Kelley Price, criticized the parking per unit ratio, writing “Whenever I’ve lived in or near multifamily housing, I’ve found that parking is a pain, there are never enough spots for the cars.” “We live in Kirkland because we don’t want to deal with the parking and other hassles of carunfriendly Seattle,” Price wrote.
1.4 spaces built per unit, while only one stall was used per unit. In an email to Regala, Kirkland resident Karen Levonson criticized the study’s findings, claiming residents were not informed and thus it did take into account variables, such as the time of day. “If several residents were out of town with their cars at Sea-Tac, the parking supply would appear over-supplied if the spot they use is vacant,” Levonson wrote. “That doesn’t mean they won’t need the spot later when they arrive home.”

Regala stated changes to the parking stall per unit ratio is based on the King County’s Right Size Parking (RSP) project. Funded by the Federal Highway Administration, the study examined multi-family parking utilization. “When we did our study and looked at the data … the majority of sites had a surplus of parking,” Regala said. According to the planning commission, the project found that “parking requirements for multi-family developments generally resulted in an oversupply of parking,” with an average of

REPORTER’S NOTES
Our well-treated stowaway sets nautical history
L
ast Thursday I passed into nautical history and legend as the most well treated (accidental) stowaway to ever step aboard a seagoing vessel. What other stowaway, accidental or not, has had the privilege of actually piloting the ship they’ve boarded with full permission of the crew, and the Lady Washington, no less? But perhaps I should provide a little context before incriminating myself further. Last week, the Lady Washington and the Hawaiian Chieftain were in port at Carillon Point. For those of you who don’t know, the Lady Washington was featured as the Interceptor in the Disney film Pirates of the Caribbean. I went Thursday in the hopes of obtaining a front page worthy photo and a possible story, though the fact that it was a set piece in one of my favorite films alone would have compelled me to step foot aboard. I arrived at noon thinking there were self-guided tours on the ships, only to be told by crew on the Hawaiian Chieftain it was closed for maintenance until 4 p.m. Initially, I believed this applied to her companion ship, until I saw a long line of children and parents marching to the end of the dock and hopping aboard. On the ship, the crew was dressed more or less like pirates. Eager to get a great shot of a kid talking to one of the crew, I climbed aboard and started snapping away. Suddenly, I felt movement below my feet. I turned and watched the dock shrink as the mizzenmast sails unfurled above me. It turned out the crowd of kids were from the

I also kept my mouth shut as the crew sang “Don’t Forget Your Old Shipmates” of “Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World” fame. On a side note, it allowed me to relive the glory days in Boy Scouts sailing from Yarrow Point to Blake Island as part of our annual trip. The best part of it, though, occurred when a tour boat approached the starboard side, with the passengers lining the railing to take photos of the Lady Washington. I’m sure they were wondering what in the name of Blackbeard’s drunken ghost was the guy in the Hawaiian shirt doing at the tiller while surrounded by pirate-looking crew. If you happened to be one of those people, now you know. It was me, the stowaway.

Buena Vista Seventh Day Adventist School in Auburn on an educational field trip with their parents. While moving out into the middle of Lake Washington, they learned the basics of seamanship, such as getting the sails ready, learning all the calls and shouts, and navigational tools sailors used at the time of the original Lady Washington. Eventually, both parents and the crew inquired as to my identity. Fortunately, they all seemed excited to have a reporter along. I made my way up to the helm, where to my surprise there was a tiller, a steering device commonly used aboard sailing boats, rather than the iconic ship’s wheel. There, the navigator used a GPS in lieu of charts to guide them out into Lake Washington. At some point, the navigator turned to me and asked, “Do you want to steer it for a while?” Does a Beatles fan want to walk down Abbey Road with Paul McCartney while singing a duet rendition of “Here Comes the Sun”?

The 2014 Kirkland Summer Concert Series came to a close a couple of weeks ago, and now that the dust has settled - wow, we are feeling so very grateful. Not only did we get an unexpected (and very much needed) grant from Waste Management this year, we appreciated the support of 19 additional community sponsors as well. We also received some generous donations from concert-goers on the day of the concerts as well. We couldn’t have done this without you. As the Tuesday Kids Concert organizer, I have to give a huge shout-out to my amazing volunteers from Eastside Timebank, and to Vicki Lotz for being the primary ‘recruiter.’ Each week, they helped with parking, crosswalks, setup and teardown and supported me at the concert booth. While I know they were earning ‘Time Bank Points’ for every hour they helped (this is a great organization by the way http://eastside.tbanks. org/), I sincerely don’t know what I would have done without them. Thank you to everyone who supported us, and we look forward to seeing everyone next summer.

Last year DennyFest hosted 600-700 people but there was a slight conflict as it was planned for the same time as the first game of the Seattle Seahawks regular season. This year the Hawks played on Thursday to open the season. But Ackerman said that there are always conflicts and you can never predict the weather. “We are in Seattle festival season so there is always something else going on,” Ackerman said. The event is a little smaller than the one he helped organize earlier this year - the Seattle Pride Parade. “[DennyFest] only takes about two months to put together,” Ackerman said. “We have a wonderful and loyal group on the organization committee who make it pretty easy.” He also said that the city of Kirkland has been easy to work with and that he would be lost without Finn Hill Neighborhood Alliance President Scott Morris. “He has been instrumental in pulling this thing together,” Ackerman said. O.O. Denny Park is located at 12032 Holmes Point Dr. NE on the shores of Lake Washington.

Lake Washington High School New coach Parnell looks to return Kangs to gridiron glory BY MATT PHELPS mphelps@kirklandreporter.com
M
aking changes when entering a new position can be difficult. Convincing those who have grown accustomed to certain ways can be a challenge in and of itself. AJ Parnell faced that reality last spring when he was hired as the head football coach at Lake Washington High School. But those changes have taken hold and grown exponentially. “He has brought the program to life,” LWHS senior Tyson Andrews said. “He has turned Kirkland into a football town. Strangers even know our name.” Parnell has even been surprised by the haste in which he has been able to gain support, not only from his team but the community. “I am just one of many trying to get this done,” Parnell said. The team held a fundraiser auction last month and brought in $20,000 for the program. But it will take more than money to give Lake Washington sustained success like Juanita High School has enjoyed during the past decade. That might
New Kang head coach AJ Parnell addresses his players following a preseason workout. MATT PHELPS, Kirkland Reporter be why Parnell was hired away from his alma mater, where he honed his craft under Rebel’s head coach Shaun Tarantola. Parnell brings fresh perspective to Lake Washington as the second youngest head coach in KingCo this season. But his players are responding. “Coach Parnell wants us to focus on ourselves twice as much as the other team,” LW senior Braun Inslee said. “He is changing the culture in and out of the locker room.” On the field Parnell has dedication to his seniors.
“It is important they have a great experience,” Parnell said. “I told the senior class they are my focus. There is not a three-year plan. Our focus is now. I told them you have to trust us before we have earned it.” But that trust is building. “It is all mental and we need to have team unity,” Andrews said. “What are we going to do when we get knocked down? We have to rely on each other.” The facts on the field are that the Kangs were 5-4 last year and made the playoffs for the second year in a row.
But it was also under a different coach and it was the first back-to-back playoff appearance in more than a decade. The Kangs will be led by many of the same players from those winning teams. Andrew and Inslee are captains. They will be joined by senior starting running back Elliot Philips, who earned second team all-KingCo honors last season. “I am just excited to cut him loose,” Parnell said. The Kangs also return junior slot wide receiver Riley Simonson, who Parnell
also sees lining up in the backfield. DJ Mann will run the offense from under center, and to prepare for the future underclassman Adam Long will also get some snaps. “We want to have everyone prepared,” Parnell said. “You never know what is going to happen during the season and you never finish with the same guys you start with.” He expects his team to be balanced between the run and pass. “You can always increase one thing if the other isn’t working,” Parnell said. On defense the Kangs will run a 4-3 cover four. But speed will be key for Lake Washington. “We need to fly to the football,” Parnell said. Parnell’s positive outlook has caught on with his players as he is preaching the motto “always rising.” The team will need to stay positive as their Halloween could become a house of horrors. Perennial state power Bellevue High School will roll into Mac Field on Oct. 31. “I love that we get to play Bellevue,” Parnell said. “What an awesome measuring stick.” But things will come full circle for Parnell and assistant

The Kangs will travel to Juanita on Sept. 19 for a rivalry game that will take on new meaning. “I love those players and coaches over there but I am 100 percent Kang now,” Parnell said. “It will be how it is when I compete with my brother.”

Juanita High School Rebels take aim at league title with fastest team in a decade BY MATT PHELPS mphelps@kirklandreporter.com
S
peed can be a big advantage in football. Just ask the Seattle Seahawks. The Juanita High School football players are hoping that the asset they have in common with the Hawks will give them similar results in 4A KingCo. “I think we can outrun every team,” Juanita High School running back Salvon Ahmed said. “Speed kills. We talk about the Hawks all the time and how they use their speed.” Ahmed knows what he is talking about. As a freshman he ran for 500 yards and six touchdowns last year. This season he hopes to have more of an impact on the Rebels’ fate. “I can improve on a lot,” said Ahmed, who was selected to the Freshman Army All-American Game last January. “It’s all about patience and I feel faster and stronger this year.” “He was one of our biggest playmakers,” Juanita head coach Shaun Tarantola said. “Anything he does on the field is special. He is also a great kid and fun to
Rebel quarterbacks practice during a preseason workout at Juanita High School last week. MATT PHELPS, Kirkland Reporter coach.” Senior Austin Cole also impressed last year at running back, averaging more than nine yards per carry. “We have a lot of guys who can get to the ball and make things happen,” Tarantola said. But speed is not just confined in two running backs for the Rebels. Tarantola said this is the fastest team he has had in his time as head coach. “We have a lot of great skill guys,” Tarantola said.
“We have moved a lot of our linebackers to the line and we will be very fast to the football.” But that quickness and speed will have to make up for losing two key lineman, including Thomas Toki, who committed to play at Washington State University but moved to California during the summer. The coach said that depth on the line is his biggest concern this season. “Losing a DI Pac-12 player is a blow,” Tarantola said. “But he only played in two
games for us last year. The players don’t look at it as a blow. It is a great opportunity for other guys to step up.” One of the guys that Tarantola is looking to is senior lineman Zach Johanson. But Johanson said that while they can’t physically replace Toki they can play smarter. “I might need to eat a little more,” Johanson joked about replacing Toki. “We can’t match what they do but we can work with double teams and just work
hard for it.” Tarantola said the team also needs to stay focused for every game. “There were days we came out flat last year,” Tarantola said. “We need to practice great habits. It is key for us.” Junior quarterback Tavin Montgomery will lead the offense and try to keep the team focused every game and every practice. Montgomery has stayed focused during his high school career, going 12-4 as a starter with 25 touchdown passes and just four interceptions. But Montgomery has been pushed by sophomore Dexter Mell during the preseason after throwing five touchdowns and one interception last year. “They are just pushing each other,” Tarantola said. “They are both very dynamic.” The Rebels finished 2013 6-3 behind Bellevue and Mount Si. The Rebels will play Bellevue on Oct. 10. Another game circled on the Rebels calendar will be the crosstown rivalry game against Lake Washington where a familiar face will be staring back. Former assistant and Juanita grad

WSDOT calls for volunteers to help tally cyclists, walkers this fall in Kirkland During a three-day survey last year, volunteers counted nearly 66,000 bicyclists and pedestrians across Washington. As another survey cycle approaches, about 400 volunteers will be called upon again this fall to tally the number of people who ride a bike or walk to their destinations.

The Washington State Building Code Council unanimously approved a change in state law that allows installation of simple rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) systems without review by an engineer. This change removes an estimated $500 to $2,500 in project costs and up to eight weeks of wait time for homeowners without compromising structural safety, according to Tim Stearns, Senior Energy Policy Specialist at the State Energy Office in the Department of Commerce. Some jurisdictions already permitted installation of rooftop solar without engineering, but this brings consistency statewide. The move supports work of Northwest Solar Communities, a coalition of jurisdictions, utilities, industry partners and citizen groups working together to make rooftop solar electricity more cost effective for all. The state building code change was approved using the Emergency Rulemaking process, making it effective on July 1, 2014.

“As an avid cyclist, I have an appreciation for the many volunteers who help with this annual count,” said Washington State Department of Transportation Secretary Lynn Peterson. “Knowing where people are and how they are using the transportation system helps us measure the results of bike and sidewalk investments and plan for future projects.” For the seventh annual survey, WSDOT and the Cascade Bicycle Club are enlisting volunteers and
