Council defends city building, permitting processes By Tom Corrigan tcorrigan@sammamishreview.com The Sammamish building and permitting department did not have a lot of friends in the audience of the April 5 meeting of the City Council. Residents described long struggles with the city over zoning issues and what they
called repeated delays with gaining permits. One resident went so far as to say there seems to be one set of rules for developers and another for residents. “This is a (complaint) we’ve heard repeatedly before,” said Councilman Tom Odell, adding maybe there are some holes in policy or regulations
that need plugging. “This has been going on with the city for quite a while,” said Deputy Mayor Ramiro Valderrama-Aramayo. “We train our staff to be good at customer service,” insisted Councilwoman Kathy Huckabay following the meeting. There are rules, she said, that staff is expected to follow
and explain to the public, if needed. Huckabay later added it’s always better to get the whole story before jumping to any conclusions. One resident had blasted the city for problems he had building a sports court on his property. After some research, City Manager Lyman Howard
alleged the resident tried to build the court in an area constrained by two streams and their associated buffer zones, all without a city building permit. “Staff applied the code in a fair (although flexible) manner and got him to the end See PERMITS, Page 2
Parks commission floats fee increases for many city facilities By Tom Corrigan tcorrigan@sammamishreview.com Park rental fees will go up pretty much as unveiled in February under a plan presented April 5 to the City Council. When first discussed a few months ago, the plan draw the attention of several sports teams and leagues that use city and school fields. “The youth sports groups are concerned about the cost
of fields,” said Stuart Carson, a member of the board of directors for the Skyline Spartans Lacrosse Club. Field expenses generally consume the biggest percentage of operating costs for any youth sports organization, and Carson said the fees ultimately are passed on to players and their parents. At the same time, Carson argued youth sports are more See FEES, Page 8
City urged to purchase more park, open spaces By Tom Corrigan tcorrigan@sammamishreview.com The city Parks Commission is recommending land acquisition “should increase by two or three-fold,” including waterfront property on Lake Sammamish, space for additional parks, more natural open spaces and sports fields. The commission also recommended future purchases be more spread out, geographically. Parks and Recreation Director Jessi Bon passed on
what she called the commission’s new vision statement during a joint meeting of the City Council and the Parks Commission held April 5. Bon said later the idea is for the city to grab vacant land now before it is scooped up for development or, because of surrounding development, becomes prohibitively expensive. The commission won some instant supporters among the City Council, perhaps espeSee LAND, Page 3

A SHOE FOR EVERYONE
Sammamish inventors pitch revolutionary footwear on TV show By Christina Corrales-Toy ccorrales-toy@ sammamishreview.com You slip your shoes on one foot at a time. The concept is natural, easy and hardly requires a second thought. But what if it wasn’t so simple? What if a physical
limitation prevented you from literally putting on your shoes? That was the case for 1996 Issaquah High School grad Billy Price, who became paralyzed from the chest down after falling out of a third-story window at his University of Washington fraternity in October 1996.

debating leaving space in the coverage rules for accessory dwelling units. ADUs seem like a worthy idea to some members, a way to expand housing in the city. A modest allowance for such structures slipped by on a 4-3 vote. Should decks count against coverage for homes? Maxim said if decks are less than 18 inches in height, they don’t really add an impression of bulk to the house and therefore shouldn’t count against coverage. Until the new rules take effect, the city measures the coverage of any given property by the amount of impervious surface put in place. That includes buildings, parking areas or anything else that prevents water reaching the ground. For the future, Maxim said planners would be taking a different approach, factoring in the bulk and aesthetics of a development as compared to lot size. One hope is the change will cause the size of the lot to better determine the size of the house.

Jeff Hilburn of Sammamish has a finely-decorated strap on his acoustic guitar that he played with the Rovin Fiddlers during their most recent jam session April 5 at the Issaquah Valley Senior Center.
Permits From Page 1 result of having a sports court,” Howard wrote in an email to council members. Property owner notification is one area several officials said the city might need to work on. Sammamish requires notices be sent to adjacent property owners whenever certain major changes are being made to a given piece of property. At least a couple of residents stated they never received the notices they should have regarding neighborhood developments.
Huckabay and others said they were troubled if notifications are not going out as required. Councilman Bob Keller went a step further. City codes call for neighborhood meetings in some situations regarding development. But Keller said the rules are enforced “piecemeal.” Meetings seem to get held based on the project or the neighborhood. “It’s a big issue and the council is involved at a policy level,” Keller said. “I believe that staff is attempting to apply the regulations fairly and consistently,” said Councilman Tom Hornish. But he added staff does have the right to grant variances and exceptions. The Council needs, Hornish said, to make sure those are being granted in keep-
ing with city policy. Valderrama-Aramayo said he hopes the council can start reviewing some developments such as those involving critical areas or something that might bring about a change in the character of a neighborhood. He said that is a policy that’s been established, but isn’t always followed. Some other resident complaints touched on developers asking for multiple variances. Valderrama-Aramayo and others said it would seem natural for developers with complicated projects to be asking for variances more often than the average citizen. “And just because they ask for an exception doesn’t mean they are going to get it,” Valderrama-Aramayo said.

OPINION
Editorial
Issaquah school bond deserves voter support
A
recent public hearing at City Hall Northwest on the Issaquah School District’s proposed construction and maintenance bond attracted exactly one speaker: a member of the Issaquah School Board, who spoke in favor of the $533 million question that is going before voters this month. It’s apparent the district has a good thing going. It seems as if every time the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction releases new education statistics, Issaquah shines. Chronic absenteeism? Among the lowest in the state. Graduation rates? Among the highest. One local housing development under construction trumpeted the “renowned Issaquah School District” in its promotional materials. And those housing developments are the reason property taxes would not rise if voters approve the bond. Issaquah’s explosive growth, adding more and more residents to the tax base, means the district can ask citizens for half a billion dollars and still keep the tax rate at or below the current $4.14 per $1,000 of assessed property value. That’s $2,070 if your home is valued at $500,000. All those new residents are bringing new students with them. The district says it has grown by more than 2,000 students in the past four years and expects to add between 1,500 and 2,000 students in the next five. Hence, the need for school construction. The bond would pay for a new high school, the district’s fourth, at a budgeted cost of $120 million, according to the district. A new middle school, the district’s sixth, is projected to cost $74 million. A rebuild of Pine Lake Middle School will run $71 million. Two new elementary schools are expected to cost a combined $74 million. And land acquisition for the four brand-new schools is budgeted at $97 million. In addition, six existing elementary schools would be remodeled and modernized at a projected cost of $7 million to $9 million each. If the bond fails, taxes would drop, but not significantly. According to statistics provided by the district, by 2019, the tax rate would decline to about $3.50 per $1,000 of assessed property value, or $1,750 on a $500,000 home. Is that reduction of less than $300 annually in taxes worth overcrowded schools and outdated facilities? Vote yes on the Issaquah School District bond April 26.

Music has a home in our hearts If there’s a better place in the world than Issaquah and Sammamish for one and all to listen to music, learn music and perform music, you’ll have to prove it to me. Just in the last 60 days, your obedient photographer has been to the Issaquah School District high schools’ annual Evergreen Philharmonic Orchestra Swingin’ in Vienna concert, the Skyline High School Jazz and Java concert and an open weekly jam session at the Issaquah Valley Senior Center for the local Rovin’ Fiddlers music group. Those three events alone cover quite a few musical genres and three generations of local people with a love for making music, and when it comes to the entire calendar year and the whole list of opportunities, it really becomes mind-boggling what we have grown to be able to look forward to hearing and doing. As a once-upon-a-time high school and college chorus
singer who currently has 11,000 tunes on his iPod, it really is great that in my job I get to hear all there is locally. Greg Farrar The Sammamish Symphony Orchestra is going strong in its 24th season, having weekly practices of its volunteer ensemble at Eastlake High School and putting on professional concerts at the Eastlake Performing Arts Center, the Meydenbauer Theatre and even Benaroya Hall. I will never forget photographing a rehearsal, being in the middle of the brass section and being enveloped in Gustav Holst’s “Mars, the Bringer of War” from his “Planets” orchestral suite.

school music teachers I have known for years — Issaquah’s Barbara Irish, Doug Longman and Patrick Holen; Skyline’s David Pitt, Nancy Ziebart and Darrin Cook; Liberty’s Robin Wood, Jared Tanner and Jana Dalpez — have earned the praise of our generation for their instruction and their mentoring of many, many musicians. Kaleidoscope School of Music in Issaquah, with director Charles McCrone and almost 30 musicians on his faculty list, celebrated its 10th anniversary last year. There’s no measuring how many seeds of musicianship planted there have grown into musical treats for our local ears.
And finally — with my apologies to other organizations that slip my mind at the moment — this list would be rather lame without a huge exclamation of gratitude to Salmon Days for the four music stages every year, and another thank you to the magic touch of David Harris, annually bringing in more than two dozen groups to perform rock, blues, alternative, tribute music, pop, jazz, R & B, soul, big band, swing, country, rockabilly, even Hawaiian party music. If you have a musical instrument that’s been sitting in a closet for years, unearth it. Play a note, then another. Blow the dust off that sheet
music. A lot of your neighbors have done the same and would love to encourage you. When was the last time you listened to live music? Check out a concert — there are so many right under our noses it takes more effort to avoid them than to find them. Music “feeds people’s souls,” according to the Master Chorus Eastside website. There’s an all-you-can-eat buffet in Issaquah and Sammamish. Come to the table!

co-founder Mark, provide onsite, hands-on mentoring to the entrepreneurs who must prove they have what it takes to turn the concept into a viable business. For those companies that prevail, the idea is that the investment will allow the entrepreneurs to quit their day jobs and focus on the business. “We didn’t come into this intending to quit our day jobs, but if it does get to that point, we’d definitely love to do this full time,” said Price who lives in Seattle and works at the Federal Aviation Administration. While the entrepreneurs could not give away details of the show’s outcome — the episode aired after The
Review’s deadline — the two did say the experience confirmed they could make a difference. Price and Donaldson believe that BILLY Footwear’s market is diverse. They wanted to create a shoe that appeals and works for everyone. The shoe’s function makes it relevant for kids, senior citizens and others that might have various neurological disorders or limitations, Donaldson said. Stylish designs make it just as appealing as any other footwear in the mass market. “It’s a shoe that I really hope doesn’t scream adaptive,” Price said. Customers can order shoes through a Kickstarter campaign that debuted on April
13. They are starting with a few designs, including ones for men, women and children, with the hope of expanding in the future. The Kickstarter campaign goal is $30,000. “Sky’s the limit, really,” Donaldson said about BILLY Footwear’s future. “We really feel that there are some big markets for our shoes, and it serves a need to complete this simple task that most people take for granted everyday.”
$109,000 annually while it donates an additional $360,000 to a turf replacement fund. As recommended by the Sammamish Parks and Recreation Commission, Bon said the basic field fees would be $60 for youth teams and $90 for adult teams. Both charges are per hour. All teams would be charged $20 for use of field lights. Current fees are $56 for youth teams and $81.50 for adult teams. Bon said if the city wanted to greatly lower its subsidy of fields, youth teams would pay $85 per hour and adult teams would pay $115. The increases are the same numbers Bon put forth in February. The City Council has the final say on fees, but it took no action on the fee proposals in February
or at the April 5 meeting. Bon said no further discussion is slated, but she hoped the council would act as quickly as possible. While the fees are for synthetic turf fields, the city and local schools also have natural grass fields that are less expensive but not as popular. Bon did note if the costs for synthetic fields rose too steeply, teams might switch to natural fields and create a capacity problem. For natural grass fields, the recreation commission proposed increases to $17 for youth teams and $30 for adult leagues. Bon and staff members also revealed proposed changes in fees for other city facilities, such as picnic shelters and the Beaver Lake Lodge. For picnic shelters,
basic fees would climb to $110 for a half-day and $160 for a full day. Those numbers are currently $101.50 and $152.50. Bon proposed removing extra fees for nonresidents, as they complicated rentals and do not bring in a significant amount of money. Beaver Lake Lodge is used mostly by nonprofit groups and is underutilized, especially on weekends, according to Bon. To perhaps entice visitors, the parks commission recommended dropping resident fees only slightly, from $51 to $50 dollars an hour on weekdays. But weekend fees would take a plummet, from $178 to $140. For a complete breakdown of fees as presented by the parks commission, visit the city’s website at tinyurl.com/hx8b4rq.

SAMMAMISH REVIEW
Crusaders escape Raiders with 2-2 tie By Neil Pierson npierson@ sammamishreview.com There has never been a natural rivalry or animosity between the Eastside Catholic and Nathan Hale boys soccer programs, EC coach Scott Brayton said, but tempers were just as warm as the spring weather during their April 6 match in Sammamish. The second half saw plenty of physical play – the Crusaders racked
up seven fouls to the Raiders’ one – and complaints to the referees on Hale’s part. Tensions culminated in the final five minutes when Hale’s Diego Soto received two yellow cards and was ejected for dissent, the final act of an eventful 2-2 draw in Class 3A Metro League play. Brayton, who has been coaching the Crusaders for 15 years, said he “wasn’t quite sure how to handle” the animosity between the teams. The
Raiders picked up a point April 5 against Metro Mountain Division leader Ballard and might have expected more against the Crusaders (1-3-2), who are seventh in the eight-team division. “I think you’ve got a team that played yesterday, probably a little tired on their part and it wasn’t going their way,” Brayton said, “but I think the referee let it get a little out of control.” “There was just a little frustration, I think,
with the referee and the players,” said EC senior midfielder Matt Reiff, who scored both of his team’s goals. “We got into it a couple times and it just started to boil over on the field.” It took the Crusaders less than two minutes to go ahead. Reiff made a clever run down the right side, latched onto a pass and shielded the ball from a defender, finishing solidly inside the near post.

Matthew Reiff (7), Eastside Catholic senior midfielder, kicks a goal between a Nathan Hale defender and the goalkeeper in the 59-minute to help the Crusaders earn a 2-2 tie April 6 against the Raiders. Hale equalized in the 13th minute, though, when Tristen Piccirilli’s corner kick found Sergio

Eastlake finds creative ways to beat rival Redmond The Eastlake Wolves know they’ll have to improve offensively if they hope to win big games late in the season, but for now, pitching and defense are keeping them competitive in the Class 4A KingCo
Conference baseball standings. Eastlake collected only one hit against visiting Redmond on April 6, but it was enough to factor into the decisive run in the Wolves’ 3-2 victory. Coach Frank Smith and his players were frustrated with an 0-4 start in KingCo play,
but they stuck together and built upon a victory over Newport two days earlier. After improving to 5-5 overall, 2-4 in conference, the Wolves believe they can have a successful season. “There’s a lot of games left,” said senior Elliot Carney, who held Redmond to two runs in 5 1/3 innings.
“We’re just picking it up,” said senior James Geiger, who faced a bases-loaded situation in the seventh inning before earning the save. “We had a lot of guys getting in early, taking hacks in the cage, just trying to get those extra reps that are really going to make the difference in the game.”
The Wolves were hitting a paltry .217 as a team through nine games and things didn’t improve against Redmond starter Connor Barrison, who kept them hitless until the sixth. Redmond used two singles and three walks to push across the tying run in the top of the sixth, but Eastlake
avoided further damage when shortstop Mark Whitley was in the right place to catch Blake Steckler’s line drive and turn a double play. That allowed the Wolves to get the winning run in the bottom of the frame. Zakk Weber singled with one See BASEBALL, Page 10

and that kind of showed when I came in. I was a little wild, little out of control, but I pulled it in and was able to get some big outs.” The Mustangs (6-4, 4-3) loaded the bases with two outs after Geiger walked Trayce Borms and Gavin Forstrom. Geiger coaxed Grant South into a tapper back to the mound, then made the easy throw to first to end the game. The Wolves’ team ERA through nine games was a stingy 1.75, a number that went down after Carney, Isler and Geiger held Redmond to one earned run on five hits.
“I was just trying to hit my spots, get ground balls,” Carney said. “They played good defense behind me and we got the job done.” Geiger, who started the game in right field, came up with a clutch play in the third when Forstrom drilled a ball down the line. Geiger started a perfect relay play, tossing it to Whitley, who gunned down Forstrom trying to stretch a double into a triple. “It was a great play,” Carney said. “It was what you need to be a great team.” Redmond had a 1-0 lead until the fifth, when Eastlake loaded
the bases on an error and two walks. Shaan Kothari hit a routine grounder to Hall at second base, but his throw was errant and two runs scored. The Wolves put pressure on the Mustangs throughout the game as they collected six walks and stole five bases. Leadoff hitter Nathan Mano walked twice and had three steals. “We need to back him up because he’s consistently getting on base and stealing that second base, even third base,” Geiger said. “And that’s huge for getting us started. We just need to get behind him and get him in.”
with a lot of energy and was rewarded in the 48th minute after an off-the-ball foul created a dangerous free kick. William Birkbeck’s shot took a wild deflection off the defensive wall, giving Crusaders goalkeeper Paul Lewis no chance. Reiff finished the scoring in the 59th minute when he took a pass from Nathan Kearney and calmly buried a one-on-
one chance from the middle of the penalty box. Reiff’s offensive contributions were particularly important on a day when the Crusaders didn’t have senior forward Alex Beauchene, a Western Washington signee. Beauchene had minor knee surgery and Brayton said he could play in the team’s next match, April 15 at Lakeside. It was only the sec-
ond time in six matches the Crusaders scored multiple goals and Reiff credited his teammates for putting him in good positions. “They know I just like to go through and I like to try to get by guys,” he said, “so they played it through and they played two great balls, and I was lucky enough to fin-

The Raiders outshot the Crusaders 14-7 and forced Lewis into six saves. Lewis will play Division I soccer for Loyola Marymount next season and often erases mistakes along the back line. “One of the best goal-

ies in the state, by far, so that’s very nice security,” Reiff said of Lewis. However, the Crusaders said they’ll have to start playing smarter defensive soccer as they took too many tactically poor fouls against Hale. “People are diving in and that’s just one thing you can’t do,” Reiff said. “That’s what you’re looking for as the attacker – you want the guy to dive at you.” “We are very undisciplined right now,” Brayton added. “We need to figure out whether we want to respect the game or not. We’re going to work on it the next week – it’ll be a lot different team by next Friday (against Lakeside).”
