AN ORDINANCE authorizing the executive to execute an airspace lease agreement with the Washington state Department of Transportation for land and facilities in the State Route 520 interchange at Montlake Boulevard for a term of twenty years with the possibility of two twenty-year extensions; and to take all actions necessary to implement the terms of the lease.
Thank you. By your vote, we have give it. We have advanced both on a do house recommendation. And we will expedite, expedite both of those items and place them on the council's consent agenda. That takes us to nine. This is for discussion and possible action. It's an ordinance that would authorize the executive to execute the airspace lease agreement with the Department of Transportation for land and facilities in the state. Route 520 Interchange at Montlake for Metro Service. Mary Bourguignon of Council Central South is sure to provide the South reports on the line is yours. Thank you, Mr. Chair. For the record, I'm Mary Ferguson from the council staff. And the materials for this item began on page 363 of your packets. As you noted, Mr. Chair, this lease is for part of a long term Washington State Department of Transportation project, which is the reconstruction of the state route five. 20 bridge portions of the bridge began opening back five years ago, and currently Washington or the Department of Transportation is out of the final portion of the reconstruction, a project that is called the rest of the West or the portion of the bridge that is closest to the University of Washington and the Montlake area to prepare for that construction. Two years ago, the council voted to close what are called the Montlake flier stops that had been serving five Metro Transit bus routes because washed out needed that area for construction. With the work underway, the plan has been that washed out will be constructing a lid at the edge of the bridge and that lid will serve three metro transit bus stations, one going eastbound on five, 21 going westbound on 520 and then one serving Montlake Boulevard traffic going northbound. The proposed ordinance that is in front of you would approve a 20 year lease agreement between King County and washout with 220 year extensions for Metro to operate and maintain those transit stops. And I'll note that this lease does not require any payment for King County. Essentially, the county's payment would be to operate and maintain the transit stops. In addition, Metro would be able to obtain the use of a bike parking area just north of the Montlake, led in return for operating and maintaining two of washed out parking areas near the new Northgate Link Light Rail Station. So if you turn in your packets to page 366, you'll see two tables that summarize the condition of the proposed lease. Table one shows the square footage that would be occupied about 3000 square feet on the Montlake lid for these three bus stations. The base rent again, no rent payment for Metro to agree to maintain and operate these bus stops. And then again, the addition of the bike parking area, the term 20 years with two options for 20 year additional extensions. And then finally the commencement date, which will not happen until washouts work is completed, which is estimated to be in 2023. You can then see on table two the estimated fiscal impacts, which again because there are no lease payments, would be the cost to operate and maintain stations in this area, as well as the planning work that is underway now to prepare for those operations. That concludes my staff report. Mr. Chair, we do have Fran Juliano from Metro on the line, if you want to talk more about this project. But again, this is just one more step in a long term planning process for this area and for the transit service to serve that area . Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you. Colleagues questions.
