Water This village is located in the three pressure zones: West Seattle 430/474, West Seattle 488 and West Seattle 575. The area is normally served from Cedar River Pipeline #4 and the West Seattle Pipeline terminating at the West Seattle Reservoir (8th Av. SW & SW Trenton St.). The 430/474 zone is gravity fed directly from the West Seattle pipeline, via a 20-inch main in Barton St. The 488 zone is supplied by means of the West Seattle Reservoir Pump Station, via a 30-inch main in 8th Av. SW and SW Thistle St. The 575 zone is supplied by means of the Highland Pump Station and Trenton Turbines via a 24-inch main in 8th Av. SW and a 12-inch main in SW Roxbury. See Map for system locations. West Seattle Reservoir: 68 million gallons The majority of the pipe network was constructed between 1926 and 1938, predominantly of cast iron. The mains appear to be in generally good order, given the age of the network. Seattle Water Department, October-November, 1996 In the West Seattle 430/474 pressure zone, elevations range from 266305 feet above sea level; static water pressure ranges from 55-71 pounds per square inch (psi). In the West Seattle 488 pressure zone, elevations range from 260-328 feet above sea level; static water pressure ranges from 70-99 psi. In the West Seattle 575 pressure zone, elevations range from 295-380 feet above sea level; static water pressure ranges from 85-122 psi. 5 Pressures are considered to be very good. Drainage & Wastewater The southeastern portion of the village is served by a Combined system; the western half is served by a Partially Separated system with a Ditch & Culvert drainage system. This village is located in the Longfellow Drainage Basin, which covers about 2,685 acres. The Longfellow basin drains into Longfellow creek through a combination of storm drains, detention structures, ditches, overland flow, and combined storm and sanitary sewers, until it empties into the west waterway of the Duwamish River and then into Puget Sound. Longfellow Creek is one of three remaining year-round stream systems that still flow freely in Seattle. About 1/3 of the creek has been piped. Salmon have returned successfully to Longfellow Creek. See Map for system locations. With Combined systems, existing sewage flows constitute about 5% of pipe capacity, with the remainder for stormwater flows. Capacity of the combined systems in this area is considered adequate. Occasionally, sewer rehabilitation projects which are part of the 6 year Capital Improvement Program are performed in these areas as needed which may in some instances have the added benefit of enhancing the system capacity. In areas with ditch & culvert drainage systems, sewage systems are sized for full zoned development and capacity is considered adequate. Drainage systems in these areas occasionally lack adequate capacity. CIP projects to provide additional capacity are part of a 15 year program in the City's adopted Comprehensive Drainage Plan. Seattle Drainage and Wastewater Utility, November 1996 Combined Sanitary/Stormwater System: A system where all sanitary and storm wastewater is carried through the system in one sewer pipe. Partial Separation System: A system where the water from street and major parking lot drainage is collected and transferred in one pipe or ditch and culvert system, and the other surface wastewater such as that from roof drains is carried with the sanitary sewer in a sewer pipe. Table 2 Expected 6-yr. HH Growth: 191 Capital Facilities and Utilities Analysis Expected 20-yr HH Growth: 700 Westwood/Highland Park Residential Urban Village Land Area: 278 Acres Facilities needed to accommodate: Facility Type 6-year growth6 20-year growth Analysis Fire None None expected at this time. Fire Station #1, the closest to this urban village, has an average response time of 4.15 minutes for emergency medical calls and 4.71 minutes for fire calls. Response times for this station meet industry standards, and are expected to for the next 6 years. Fire Station #37 has an average response time of 4.26 minutes for emergency medical calls and 5.17 minutes for fire calls. Industry standards are to maintain a 4-6 minute response time or less for emergency medical calls and a 5-minute or less response time for first response to fire emergencies. Police None Additional precinct space may be required. Patrol units are allocated around-the-clock based on calls for service. Location and size of facilities are not critical to service provision. Minor facility modifications will occur as needed and funded. Schools School facility expansions or improvements are not expected to be required as a result of growth in this village. Seattle School District physical goals are as follows for: a) Elementary schools: 380-535 students, 4-acre site; b) Middle school: 600-800 students, 12-acre site; and c) High School 1,000-1,600 students, 17-acre site. Currently, about 50% of public school students attend schools in their neighborhoods, and the other 50% choose schools elsewhere. Phase One of the School District's Building Excellence program includes demolition and all new construction of Highland Park Elementary school. Electricity None A 4th transformer and switchgear bus-section will be added to the Duwamish Substation to increase capacity. Electrical demand from this village is estimated to increase by 0.3 annual average megawatts and 0.5 megawatts in a peak hour in 6 years. This village is located in City Light's Southwest forecast area. In 6 years, capacity in this forecast area will be 427 megawatts, and demand is expected to be 398 megawatts. In 20 years, capacity in this forecast area will be 547 megawatts with the listed improvements, and demand is expected to be 471 megawatts. In both years, capacity is more than adequate to meet demand. Water None None Current peak day demand estimate: 0.74 million gallons per day (mgd). Peak day demand estimate in 6 yrs: 0.81 mgd or 9% increase. Peak day demand estimate in 20 years: 0.98 mgd or 33% increase. The supply and distribution network is in generally good order and appears to be adequately sized to accommodate demand through 2002. If growth is concentrated in certain locales, it is possible that local improvements would be needed. Potential Future Improvements: A new main could be part of a gradual renewal of this section of the distribution grid to increase east-west flow in the 575 pressure zone, at a preliminary cost of $508,000. Drainage and Wastewater No new facilities are expected to be required because of new growth. The Drainage Control Ordinance requires on-site detention of stormwater runoff associated with new development or significant redevelopment. Limiting the rate of stormwater runoff from these sites more than offsets the increases in sewage flow from increased population density. The net effect of new development/redevelopment in this area will be a decrease in the peak rates of flow during storm events. Depending on the concentration of actual development, it is possible that isolated sewer capacity improvements would be needed. With Combined systems, existing sewage flows constitute only about 5% of pipe capacity, and wastes from growth will constitute small incremental flows that are not likely to exceed capacity. On-site detention requirements for new growth will address the adequacy of the drainage system for this area. In areas with ditch & culvert stormwater systems, sewage systems are sized for full zoned development; capacity is considered adequate to serve growth. Drainage system improvements in the Comprehensive Drainage Plan and on-site detention requirements for new growth will address the adequacy of the drainage system for this area.

The table above shows existing (1990) V/C ratios and projections of V/C ratios for a typical evening peak hour in 2010 for all arterials in the Rainier Beach Residential Urban Village. Compare 1990 V/C ratios to the 2010 forecast to see the potential change over 20 years. The V/C ratio can be used to identify areas where neighborhood or citywide transportation plans could encourage changes in travel behavior (e.g., mode, time of travel, destination) or improve operation of the street (e.g., by changing signal timing and the like). The capacity of a street is not a fixed number of vehicles that can never be exceeded. Rather, it is a relative measure of traffic flow. Arterial segments with a V/C ratio exceeding 1.0 now or possibly in the future might warrant attention in a neighborhood plan. High V/C ratios may be tolerable if the result is to shift people into other modes, or is a result of the development densities necessary for a vital urban village. Existing conditions: All arterial segments have a V/C ratio below 1.0. Martin Luther King Way S, S Henderson St., and Rainier Ave. S are designated as Transit Priority Streets in the Comprehensive Plan. Future conditions: The V/C ratio for Renton Avenue South southbound is projected to be 1.2. This figure indicates the attractiveness of this route through southeast Seattle to Renton. Renton Ave. is a minor arterial with an assumed capacity of 700 vehicles per hour. Increases in capacity may be possible, or measures to direct traffic to the principal arterials (Martin Luther King Jr. Way, Henderson Street, and Rainier Ave. South) may be taken. The principal arterials have the capacity available to take traffic from Renton Ave. V/C ratios on all other arterial streets in the urban village are below 0.8 under the 2010 scenario.

Growth targets for urban centers are established in land use element section C. Growth targets for residential and hub urban villages are established upon adoption of a neighborhood plan. Assumes north Kingdome parking lot and vacant floor area in existing structures is available to accommodate a substantial share of household and employment growth. Separate growth targets for the urban center villages within the University Community Urban Center are not adopted. In acting on the UCCU plan, the City Council reaffirmed the targets for the UCUC as a whole. No additional student housing growth according to UW General Physical Development Plan. The areas to which numbers apply for land area, existing households and jobs, planning estimates and existing and planned densities for each hub and residential urban village are the unadopted village boundaries shown in Land Use Appendix A, above. Where adopted boundaries shown in Appendix A have been amended from the unadopted village boundary, acreage, existing households and employment, and densities may be different than indicated in this Appendix B. Because of the potential for redevelopment of the Holly Park Garden Community according to a neighborhood plan currently underway, a greater growth planning estimate is established for this area relative to other similar residential urban villages. 1 For an overview of City facilities, see Community Services and Facilities, Public Utilities Background Report, City of Seattle, Office of Management and Planning, 1990. 2 The nearest station is listed; Fire and Emergency Medical Services are generally provided by the nearest station. In the case of larger fires, firefighting and medical resources are also dispatched from other stations. Aid units and fire engines are equipped to handle many medical emergencies; medic units are dispatched to more serious medical emergencies. 3 Through the student assignment plan, the village is served by a number of designated regular elementary schools, and at least six Seattle School District Alternative Schools. School capacities are determined in part by the mix of programs offered and the number of portable classrooms used, and are subject to change. 4 Parks and Other Resources shown are inside the village or within 1/8 mile of the unadopted village boundary. 5 Minimum working pressure of 30 psi is the standard for new construction and 80 psi is the new standard for maximum pressure. Some areas of Seattle exceed the maximum and other areas have less than the minimum pressure. 6 An explanation of the methodologies used to assess adequacy can be obtained from the Neighborhood Planning Office. 7 The results of this analysis are not intended for measuring concurrency. Previous concurrency analyses contained in the Comprehensive Plan indicate that Level-of-Service standards will not be exceeded by the 20-year growth projected for this area (see Comprehensive Plan Transportation Element). 21 6 675ATTV2.DOC |
