- 11. On June 9, City staff refined layouts based on charrette input, cost and schedule. AchievingTechnical Factors helps to control cost and reduce risk Schedule impacts are based on input from funding agency reps. Many good ideas from the charrette process can be included in initial and future phases Technical Factors (no particular order) Transportation Integrate with long-term transportation plan Business Parking Retain minimum parking spaces required by Code Geotechnical Minimize structures on deeper, poor soils Cultural Risk Minimize excavation in higher-risk areas WWTP Access Provide suitable ingress/egress to facility WWTP Footprint Provide suitable area for facility (± 2.5 acres) Supplemental “Site” Factors (no particular order) Park Impact Minimize impact on Windjammer Park space Site “Amenities” Allow for additional amenities now, in future Ball Fields Evaluate impact on existing fields Park Access Improve pedestrian access to Windjammer Park Commercial Value Enhance frontage, access, lot configuration Added Parking Retain/increase parking for peak demands “Fix” Intersections Correct traffic flow at current intersections Charrette Group Input (no particular order) Views Preserve view corridor down City Beach Street Windmill Maintain separation from windmill as much as possible Ball Fields Do not limit future planning based on ballfield location (i.e. may be relocated in the future) Future Bayshore Design future Bayshore Drive as a slow connector street (not a major arterial) Pedestrian Access Enhance pedestrian connection between Pioneer Way and Windjammer Park Park Impact Strive for no net loss of Windjammer Park space Park Integration Design treatment facility to integrate with and add value to existing Windjammer Park WIB Building Consider integrating facility with recently purchased Whidbey Island Bank (WIB) building 11
- 12. Multiple layouts were considered during the June 9 work session.
- 13. Two refined layouts were ultimately evaluated and ranked by staff. Refined Concept No. 1 Future Bayshore Drive aligned to the north of new treatment facility. Refined Concept No. 2 Future Bayshore Drive aligned to the south of new treatment facility. 7/9/1413
- 14. Refined Layout Technical Factors 1 2 Transportation Business Parking Geotechnical Cultural Risk WWTP Access WWTP Footprint Ability to Meet Schedule Supplemental Factors 1 2 Park Impact Site "Amenities" Ball Fields Park Access Commercial Value Added Parking "Fix" Intersections Charrette Group Input 1 2 Views Windmill Ball Fields (Potential Future Project) Future Bayshore Pedestrian Access Park Impact Park Integration WIB Building Event Parking ? X X ? X ? ? X ? ? ? Refined Concept No. 1 Refined Concept No. 2
- 15. Conclusions and Recommendations Both layouts address supplemental criteria and charrette input in a similar fashion Impact on park space is similar for both, considering WWTP and Bayshore alignment Layout No. 2 better addresses technical factors; is more likely to reduce cost and risk Layout No. 2 recommended as a basis for preliminary design with GC/CM input 7/9/1415

- 19. Next Steps Obtain Council approval of final location Work with GC/CM to refine layout within selected location Gather additional input from the community : Develop the “look and feel” of the facility Form, function for public spaces that may be included in the project Additional ideas on how to integrate with the park,WIB building 7/9/1419
