Chart Notes May 6

Costco/City of Kirkland/Community Forum

Concerns

• Increase in Costco membership just for the gas
• Past project has not helped
• Traffic routing on 120^th or 90^th? Concern about ingress/egress from neighborhood properties and church
• Don’t want more traffic on 90^th street as a result
• Scope creep at the station: will there be additional services offered in the future?
• No membership marketing at the station
• 1000 additional cars a day is a lot.
• Need for increased capacity on the roads: reclassed
• *Impact on the abilities for other properties to develop due to the traffic.
• *****Capacity on the roads is a real issue for neighbors and the church
• Cars in the ditch
• Sidewalks east of 124^th NE and cut through traffic
• *Intersection of 120^th and 90^th is a dangerous intersection, people run the stop sign
• Routing trucks to 124^th is not a great idea!
• Water quality from increased usage and traffic on the roads – run off
• *****Resolving drainage issues is larger than just the adjacent neighbors
• Would like set hours of operation at the gas station
• ***Property values decrease because of increased traffic
• *What will happen to the parking at Costco?
• *****Traffic at 90^th and 122^nd

*Indicates priority concerns for the neighbors. Each neighbor checked their most pressing concerns. The more * the higher the level of concern.

Lingering Questions

· Does the 16% reduction in sales that would route to Redmond and Woodinville take into account projected growth in Kirkland?

· Where will traffic be routed – 90^th or 120th?

· Why doesn’t Costco consider building a station on the south side of the property? (no land)

· How will the loss of parking impact parking at the warehouse?

Potential Design Features

• ***Trail head at 90^th and 120^th
• Improve pathway between retirement community and Costco
• ********Improving public sidewalks on 120^th and 90^th. (***south side of 90^th. North side of 90^th. ***both sides of 90^th)
• No additional sales or services offered at the gas station. Gas only
• **Truck routing plan
• *****Oil/water separator on Costco paring lot (in addition to the requirement at the gas station.

• Indicates the level of interest in this particular design feature.

City Issues

• Storm water quantity
• Traffic revisions to increase capacity and signaling to accommodate not only Costco put potential development, pedestrian safety and sidewalks.
• Study on population increase both for people coming to live and people coming to work.
• Ditch on 90^th
• Future planning for the area
