These plans have been in the works for a while.

Development Services Group (DSG) Director Scott Greenberg said that Shorewood had submitted an application for about 100 units right before the recession hit. The permit expired before the units could be built.

Shorewood has changed ownership and management in the interim, and this scope of work is a little different from the previous proposal, senior planner Travis Saunders.

The current ownership group, Oly Ida Shorewood Heights, LLC, took over in September 2010.

Shorewood is also applying for a parking variance.

The multi-family code requires two parking spots per unit, Saunders said.

Shorewood's proposed ratio is 1.47 stalls per unit, a number on which they based a traffic impact analysis included with the application. They also submitted a State Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA) checklist, geotechnical engineering report and arborist report.

Many Islanders have expressed concerns lately about the impact of new apartment buildings on the Mercer Island school system. Shorewood's new developments are subject to a school district mitigation fee under SEPA, which was updated in March.

But mitigation fees only apply to units with two or more bedrooms, so the School Board decided to collect Growth Management Act (GMA) impact fees instead. Impact fees apply to all units and to some single-family residence development, bringing in more revenue for schools.

If the City Council adopts school impact fees prior to issuance of a building permit, Shorewood

MERCER ISLAND REPORTER

City briefs Council set to extend development moratorium At its meeting on Monday, after the Reporter deadline, the City Council decided whether or not to extend its moratorium on Town Center development. The initial moratorium exempted buildings under two stories and the proposed Hines project, though the Council decided on June 1 to include Hines.

The initial term of the moratorium, adopted by the City Council in February, was four months, and set to expire on June 16. The city's work on its Town Center code revision and Comprehensive Plan update is continuing. In fact, both processes have been extended past their planned duration.

Adoption of the proposed ordinance on an emergency basis, which requires an affirmative vote of a majority plus one of the whole membership of the Council (five “yes” votes), is recommended to avoid expiration of the current moratorium and the opportunity for one or more applicants to vest under the existing Town Center development regulations, according to the agenda bill.

Town Center work is over budget At its June 15 meeting, the City Council was set to appropriate almost $100,000 to extend the Town Center

visioning process.

The work has consisted of two phases so far. Phase 1 involved hiring the consultant team of Seth Harry and Associates, and 3 Square Blocks and concluded with presentation of a final report at the Jan. 23, 2015 Planning Session. The cost was $24,800, funded from the 2013-2014 budget.

Phase 2 of the code revision project was scheduled for February through June 2015, and involved more public engagement. It included 20 formal meetings (Town Center Liaison Group, Stakeholder Group, a two-day workshop and public input meetings) and cost $126,610, funded with the 2015 Beautification Fund budget and 2014 General Fund surplus.

On June 1, 2015, the Council approved an extended community engagement schedule and delayed adoption of the State-mandated Comprehensive Plan update past the June 30, 2015 deadline. This will require additional consultant resources for potential revisions to already completed work based on additional community input, additional meeting facilitation and organization costs, assistance with Town Centerrelated Comprehensive Plan policies and vision and preparation of an executive summary of the project to date.

The new phase of work will also include additional graphics to communicate the Town Center Vision and provide a possible look at the Town Center under the

updated Vision and Design Guidelines.

Seth Harry and Associates proposed budget is $50,000 and 3 Square Blocks proposed budget is $44,915, for a total of $94,915. Therefore, a budget appropriation of $94,915 is needed. The recommended funding source is the $96,684 the Council directed staff to set aside for miscellaneous professional services on June 1, 2015 as part of the disposition of the 2014 General Fund surplus.

The downside of appropriating almost all of the $96,684 for this purpose is that this funding had been planned to support phase 2 of the impact fee analysis, assuming the Council wants to move forward with instituting impact fees, according to the agenda bill.

The meeting occurred after the Reporter deadline.

City awards bid for street overlay project The city received the lowest bid for its 2015 Residential Street Overlays from Lakeside Industries, in the amount of $543,628.00.

Lakeside Industries has completed numerous paving projects for Mercer Island in the past, namely the 2012 Island Crest Way Resurfacing Phase 1 and the 2013 Arterial and Residential Overlay projects.

Construction activities on the contract are tentatively scheduled to begin in late August and be done in mid-October. Lakeside Industries has also been awarded the construction

contract for the City’s 2015 S.E. 40th Street Overlay project, and they plan to focus their effort on completing that project first, prior to the start of school, and then move to the 2015 Residential Street Overlay project.

The adopted 2015-2016 Capital Budget allocated $738,000 for residential street overlay work in 2015.

This project will resurface 1.5 miles of the city’s 58.3 miles of publicly maintained residential streets.

Crest Way in the 4800 block. This area consists of portions of S.E. 48th Street, 86th and 88th Avenues, 88th Place, and S.E. 50th Street. Most of these roadways were built in the early 1960s, and the area received a chip seal in 1983. PCI ratings vary from “satisfactory” to “fair” to “poor” to “very poor.” SE 48th Street and 86th Avenue (which were rated as “satisfactory” in 2013) were significantly impacted by new watermain installation in 2014.

The streets are:

• S.E. 53rd Street and 90th Avenue, lying east of Island Crest Way. This plat of homes was developed in the mid-1960s and received a chip seal in 1985.

The existing pavement has extensive alligator cracking and significant root damage from nearby pine trees, leading to PCI ratings of “very poor” and “failed.”

• 66th, 70th, and 71st Avenues, lying north of S.E. 24th Street on the north end of the First Hill neighborhood. These roadway pavements are relatively thin and were last resurfaced with a chip seal in 1986. Their 2013 pavement condition index (PCI) ratings range from “fair” to “poor."

• 70th Avenue from S.E. 24th to S.E. 29th Streets, also in the First Hill neighborhood. This street has not received any significant work since a chip seal in 1986 and its current PCI rating is “fair."

School news All Mercer Island public schools are ‘Green’ Mercer Island High School, Islander Middle School, and West Mercer Elementary have earned King County Green Schools Level Three recognition. Now all Mercer Island public schools have achieved this recognition as Lakeridge Elementary and Island Park Elementary earned the status in 2013.

“An important part of the 2020 Vision of our schools is to cultivate global awareness, with an understanding of real-world problems, such as being good stewards of the environment,” said Mercer Island School District Superintendent Dr. Gary Plano “These schools have initiated or improved sustainable practices and are teaching their students and employees about conservation,” said Dale Alekel, Green Schools Program manager.

In the King County Green Schools program there are four levels of focus: 1) waste reduction

and recycling; 2) energy conservation: 3) water conservation and pollution prevention; and 4) sustaining green school activities. To qualify for the next level of recognition as a Level Four Sustaining Green School, a school must select and complete an additional conservation practice or educational strategy from the King County Green Schools program’s Best Practices Guides, while sustaining the conservation strategies the school achieved during the first three levels of the program.

No. 4 Core Team,” said the school’s Planning Principal, Aimee BatlinerGillette. “The interview team enjoyed meeting with each of these thoughtful, creative, and energetic teacher-leaders. Their skills and strengths, along with their experience in Mercer Island public schools, will be tremendously beneficial to the process of building our new elementary community.”

Elementary No. 4’’s first lead teachers for each grade will be: • Heidi Clark – Kindergarten, from Lakeridge • Mary Jane Dunning - First Grade, from West Mercer • Trina Sherman Second Grade, from West Mercer • Danielle Melin - Third Grade, from Lakeridge • Lindsay Oliveira Fourth Grade, from Island Park • Julie Langley - Fifth Grade, from West Mercer “These talented teachers, along with Aimee, will serve as the foundation for the new school community that we are building with students and families,” said MISD Superintendent Dr. Gary Plano. “While construction on Elementary No. 4 continues, these teachers will begin building the educational team and doing the academic groundwork required to open a new school.

They will work directly with Aimee and Fred Rundle, the district’s Assistant Superintendent

of Learning Services, both of whom have experience opening new elementary schools.”

The teachers will continue in their current duties during the 2015-16 school year, but will assume additional responsibilities starting July 1, 2015. Like Batliner-Gillette’s salary, the teachers will receive stipends paid for by the sale of the bonds approved

by Mercer Island voters in Feb. 2014, not from the Schools Foundation or the general fund.

MI Schools Foundation seeks board members The Mercer Island Schools Foundation is seeking board members for the 2015-16 school year.

“Ideally, our Board representation includes individuals from all neighborhoods on the Island with or without children in Mercer Island Public Schools,” MISF stated in a release.

“Additionally, all Mercer Island Public Schools are represented by Board membership.”

The nonprofit organization is dedicated to enhancing and improving the quality of education for all students of the Mercer Island School District by obtaining contributions.

Yantis said the monthly commitment for board members is roughly 2-4 hours.

OPINION

MERCER ISLAND REPORTER | www.mi-reporter.com

Watch out cyclists

T

he League of American Bicyclists recently named Washington the nation’s top ranked “Bicycle Friendly State” for the eighth-straight year.

“Bicycling plays an important role in Washington’s quality of life; it gives Washingtonians a viable transportation option, encourages a healthy lifestyle and lowers our individual carbon footprint while supporting our local economies through bicycle tourism,” said Gov. Jay Inslee, who officially proclaimed last month as Bike Month in Washington.

“Being again named the most bike-friendly state inspires us to continue building on the progress we’ve made,” he said.

While that press-release statement is all well and good, we can’t emphasize this enough: bicyclists and cars need to work together, pay attention to each other and share the road.

It sounds like it would be easy to accomplish with the multitude of bike lanes and “sharrows” out there, as well as people with smart heads on their shoulders, but accidents happen. People aren’t always watching out for each other because they’re in a hurry, or talking on the phone while driving, or bicyclists are taking chances while cycling alongside cars, assuming that everyone can see each other.

There are more bicyclists out there on the road these days and bad things can happen in an instant. Between 2008 and 2012, an average of three bicyclists died in King County each year and 45 were severely injured in collisions with motor vehicles. The Seattle Bike Blog reports that six cyclists have died in the last 12 months in Western Washington. They include a pastor in Puyallup and a teen in Kirkland.

When cyclists get hit, drivers often say, “I just did not see him,” or, “they came out of nowhere.” Cyclists as well as drivers have to stay vigilant. Cyclists should never, ever assume that drivers are watching out for them.

‘Bicycle friendly’ is no guarantee for cyclist safety

Wrapping up six months of research and community outreach regarding the possibility of moving back high school start times, the High School Start-Time Committee recommended to the Mercer Island School Board on Thursday that no changes be made to current high school bell times.

Although the committee determined more sleep would be beneficial for high school students, it stated in a report presented to the board that the "benefits are

outweighed by undesirable consequences that would impact the large majority of our high school students."

Committee member Frances Osman said discussions with faculty members brought concerns that a later start could mean students leaving school early for after-school activities would stretch further back into the school day, as well as school commute times moving into rush hour.

“They certainly understand and realize the benefit of having a later start time and in an ideal world, would love to have kids start later so they could sleep later in the morning,” Osman said. “However, there were substantial concerns amongst the administrators and I would say all of them feel it would be difficult thing to do at this

time.”

Committee member Gavin Cree said there was significant concern from Mercer Island music instructors about the continuity of the band and orchestra programs.

Performance times already run on a tight schedule, and teachers have to accommodate band students who participate in multiple extracurricular activities.

Paige Behrbaum said the general consensus among discussions with students was the current system works, so why change it.

“Common themes in their feedback were that 15 minutes later didn't seem like very much and 30 was too much and too disruptive to all the things they were trying to do after school, and they didn't want to make activity

high school start times over a decade ago. She added what is different now is the amount of evidence recommending an 8:30 a.m. start time, citing the recommendation from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), which was released in a 2014 policy statement.

“It’s fairly common now to read how 8:30 a.m. is the push the high schools are going toward across the country because that is the earliest recommended start time for high schools,” Dingle said. “I agree with the concept there has to be a little more education made so that the value, which is much more indisputable than it was 12-13 years ago, takes precedence over adherence to a current schedule.”

Superintendent Dr. Gary Plano called the problem a “technical problem in a political sphere,” and asked the board to think about what additional information they would want moving forward. He said the board could potentially discuss the topic at its board retreat June 16.

What will replace Albertsons?

Islanders say they want a PCC

By Katie Metzger

kmetzger@mi-reporter.com

After a notice that Albertsons will close in July, a "Bring PCC to Mercer Island" Facebook group grew from 60 to 600 members in two days.

The group is dedicated to fans of the unique blend of local produce, organic products, wholesome food and community values personified by Puget Consumers Coop (PCC).

"The Albertsons location is ideal if it hasn’t sold to a developer who would turn it into something else," said Jeff Sanderson. "Many on MI, if you follow the nextdoor.com traffic, would love something like PCC, so we’ll be ringing that bell."

Sanderson, who is running for City Council in September, is promoting the group with Craig and Jane Reynolds, Lara Sanderson, Yaffa Penski and Lisa Porad.

Craig Reynolds originally created the Facebook page in 2010, as an experiment.

The group is aims to "create a groundswell" with a "grassroots effort," he said.

"We believe the Island was already ripe for such a store," he said. "But with the impending closure of Albertsons, the time is even more right."

Reynolds said he has written to PCC CEO Cate Hardy before.

"We do want to be in every Puget Sound neighborhood that would like us and can support one of our stores. New store locations have to make solid economic sense, and one of the key factors is having sufficient

members and shoppers in the area who know us and want us. For what it’s worth, you are not alone - we have heard from many people who would like to see a PCC on Mercer Island," Hardy wrote back.

The group also set up a survey "to do some basic market research on potential for a PCC or other new grocer on the Island."

The Facebook page can be found at www. f a c e b o o k . c om / g roup s / PccMercerIsland and the survey at www.surv e y m o n k e y. c o m / s / MIgrocerysurvey.

An agenda item was added to the June 15 City Council agenda, to discuss "an update on the Albertsons grocery site and potential grocer." The meeting occurred after the Reporter deadline.

"Living on Mercer Island, we’re accustomed to a certain lifestyle that most people in the world don’t have," she said. When I grow up, I want my job to be traveling the world helping others."

A 15-year-old can change the world, she said, even in small ways.

"Save money, and maybe instead of buying a new top or video game, you donate the money. Even the smallest amount goes a long way," she said. "I’m also a strong believer in volunteering your time. When donating, sometimes you’re not lucky enough to get a personal experience from it, but you always can with volunteering."

Instead of getting an allowance, Berejka sends $20 a month to Diane's younger brother, Bertin. So far, sponsoring a child has been one of the greatest experiences of her life, she said.

"Even though it brought me my lowest of lows, it has also given me my highest of highs."

GRADS | FROM 1 mentioned one mystery to him was the amount of care provided by parents and teachers, marveling at the time and energy they show.

“I don’t know how you do what you do, but I know how much it means to us here,” he said.

MIHS English teacher and faculty speaker Jeff Randolph comically lamented about having to hear students say they couldn’t wait to leave high school after just four years, while most teachers are there much longer. He implored the graduates to find their calling and learn to do it well. And he asked the students to not forget about their parents.

“Please do your parents a favor and when you can, let them know how you’re doing in the adult world,” he said.

The crowd was treated to musical performances of Benedetto Marcello’s “Concerto in C minor” by Isaac Miller on oboe and Eric Westergard on piano, and “Meditation” from Thais, with Ann Guinee on viola and Ailin Fu on piano.

Norihiro Shiotsu dedicated his cello performance of “Julie-O” by Mark Summer to the class of 2015 and also to his girlfriend.

Before the ceremonial tassel flip, senior class officers Benji Holen, Luke Mounger and Topher LaCrampe walked through their memories of each year of high school.

“The class of 2015 transcends conventional notions. We are hotter than fire and colder than ice,” Holen said. “I wouldn’t trade my high school experience for anything.”

Far left, Jeremy Voss and Jolie Tate are all smiles after receiving their diplomas.

changing a few things up on the field, though nothing too drastic.

“Whenever you change an offensive coordinator, things are going to change a little bit,” he said. “We’re going to be doing what we’ve been doing, though with a few changes. Defensively, we kept the same defensive coordinator, so that’s going to be the same. We have new assistants that work under him, but they’ve all been here before.

“It’s exciting. I’m really excited about the new coaches and what they have to bring and what we’re doing with this program right now. I’m pretty fired up about this next season.”

The emphasis has shifted back to basics and teambonding as the Mercer Island football team began spring practices and prepared to lay the foundation for its 2015 campaign.

Where depth was a strong suit this time last year for a team returning 16 of its 22 starters, now a bevy of new faces are set to take to the gridiron for the Islanders this fall, both on the field and on the sidelines.

“We have some really good frontline guys who have some varsity experience, but in high school you have ebb and flow,” said head coach Brett Ogata.

“We’ve [lost] guys who graduated and we got to have some of those juniors and sophomores and to-be seniors who haven’t played much to step up. I think we do have guys who are ready to do that, but this is what spring ball is for.”

Gone is two-year starting quarterback and 2014 KingCo Offensive Player of the Year Alfonso Gonzalez,

“Our goal every year now, the attitude is that we expect to be a playoff team,” he said. “We’re working hard for that. The boys are doing a great job right now of trying to fulfill that goal.”

The Mercer Island coach will take over offensive coordinator duties and serve as quarterbacks coach, after previous coordinator Shane Keck took the head coaching position at Cascade High School last February.

The changeover doesn’t end there, as the Islanders will also see coaching changes at the cornerback, wide receiver, offensive line and linebacker positions.

Ogata said with new blood on his coaching staff, he is looking forward to

Each year, Mercer Island High School honors its graduates for community service.

A total of 92 members of the Class of 2015 earned an award for their work helping in the community.

Based on the hours they work, the students earn gold, silver, or bronze medals with their graduation robes.

Bronze awards are given to students who have completed 125 hours of community service, silver is given to those completing 180, and students with over 260 hours wear gold.

Amongst the diverse areas of service, many volunteer their time within organizations at the high school. They might be found doing a service project for the National Honor Society, Lions Club, Interact Club, Senior Service Club, and VOICE. They might also be a member of the Green Team, PETRI Club, KidsCorps, Sparkle, the radio station, or lead weekly discussions as a BRIDGES leader.

Students also help with after school programs and sports teams. These include music and theater programs, wrestling or water polo, Junior Hoopsters basketball or serving as a Spanish teacher assistant.

Aside from the high school, these Islanders do their part in the greater Mercer Island community. They volunteer at the Farmers Market, Summer Celebration, the Rotary runs, and with the Boys & Girls Club, Youth & Family Services, Kiwanis Club, National Charity League, and Safe Rides. They also assist parent volunteers at the other schools in the district, like at the Preschool Association’s Circus and the West

Mercer Elementary School science fair.

Some students accumulate their hours through organizations where they have been involved themselves as youth. They include summer camps and sports coaching, while others volunteer with the Boy and Girl Scouts of America, King County Search and Rescue, and University of Washington Medicine.

Many students have volunteered for awareness organizations like Seattle Amigos, Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, Relay for Life, and Seattle AIDS Walk. And others volunteer for projects and go on missions through their faith community.

The impact made by these students isn’t just seen around the greater Seattle area but globally as well. These students have volunteered for Global Visionaries, Rustic Pathways, a Costa Rica orphanage, and traveled to Mexico to build houses.
