HISTORY: stormwater sewer system. Over the years, infrastructure components that are in road surfaces, such as inlet grates, manhole ring & covers and valve boxes, suffer damage from breakage, wear and road settlement. The infrastructure components in the road surface are collectively referred to as utility iron; repairing and adjusting this utility iron is an annual maintenance project. Due to staffing and workload, this project was not completed in 2023. The 2024-2026 Utility Iron Adjustment Project was publicly advertised for bid using the MRSC Small Works Roster as a unit priced public works contract for repair and rehabilitation of settling manholes, inlets, and valve cover boxes. Three bids were received, Reece Construction is the low bidder and has been qualified. The proposed contract with Reece Construction is a three-year unit-priced agreement that includes an optional one-year extension. PW staff will plan utility iron raising work accordingly to stay within the annual budgeted amount. ALTERNATIVES: Remand to staff for further evaluation. I move to authorize staff to contract with Reece Construction for Utility Iron Adjustment Services for 2024-2026 and authorize the Mayor to sign the contract, pending final approval by the City Attorney.

(2) There are presently $5,850,000 par value of Refunding Candidates outstanding. (3) After due consideration, it appears to the City Council that all or a portion of the Refunding Candidates may be refunded by the issuance and sale of the limited tax general obligation refunding bonds authorized herein so that a savings will be effected by the difference between the principal and interest cost over the life of the Bonds and the principal and interest cost over the life of the Refunded Bonds but for such refunding, which refunding will be effected by carrying out the Refunding Plan. -5- FG: 102711121.3 (b) Debt Capacity. The maximum amount of indebtedness authorized by this ordinance is $6,500,000. Based on the following facts, this amount is to be issued within the amount permitted to be issued by the City for general municipal purposes without a vote: (1) The assessed valuation of the taxable property within the City as ascertained by the last preceding assessment for City purposes for collection in the calendar year 2024 is $4,944,744,596.

(3) As of June 1, 2024, the City had no unlimited tax general obligation debt outstanding. (c) The Bonds. For the purpose of providing the funds necessary to carry out the Refunding Plan and to pay the costs of issuance and sale of the Bonds, the City Council finds that it is in the best interests of the City and its taxpayers to issue and sell the Bonds to the Purchaser, pursuant to the terms set forth in the Bond Purchase Agreement as approved by the City’s Designated Representative consistent with this ordinance. Section 3. Authorization of Bonds. The City is authorized to borrow money on the credit of the City and issue negotiable limited tax general obligation refunding bonds evidencing indebtedness in one or more series in the aggregate principal amount of not to exceed $6,500,000 to provide funds necessary to carry out the Refunding Plan and to pay the costs of issuance and sale of the Bonds. Section 4. Description of the Bonds; Appointment of Designated Representative. The Finance Director, or the City Administrator in the absence of the Finance Director, is appointed as the Designated Representative of the City and is authorized and directed to conduct the sale of the Bonds in the manner and upon the terms deemed most advantageous to the City, and to approve the Final Terms of the Bonds, with such additional terms and covenants as the Designated Representative deems advisable, within the following parameters: (a) The Bonds may be issued in one or more series, and the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds shall not exceed $6,500,000; (b) One or more rates of interest may be fixed for the Bonds as long as no rate of interest for any maturity of the Bonds exceeds 5.00%; (c) The true interest cost to the City for the Bonds does not exceed 4.00%; (d) The aggregate purchase price for the Bonds shall not be less than 98% and not more than 130% of the aggregate stated principal amount of the Bonds, excluding any original issue discount; -6- FG: 102711121.3 (e) The Bonds may be issued subject to optional and mandatory redemption provisions; (f) The Bonds shall be dated as of the date of their delivery, which date and time for the issuance and delivery of the Bonds is not later than one year from the effective date of this ordinance; (g) The Bonds shall mature no later than December 31, 2034; and (h) There is a minimum net present value savings of 3.00% of the Refunded Bonds. In addition, the Bonds may not be issued if it would cause the indebtedness of the City to exceed the City’s legal debt capacity on the Issue Date. The Designated Representative may determine whether it is in the City’s best interest to provide for bond insurance or other credit enhancement; and may accept such additional terms, conditions and covenants as the Designated Representative may determine are in the best interests of the City, consistent with this ordinance. In determining the number of series, the series designations, final principal amounts, date of the Bonds, denominations, interest rates, payment dates, redemption provisions, tax status, and maturity dates for the Bonds, the Designated Representative, in consultation with other City officials and staff and advisors, shall take into account those factors that, in the judgment of the Designated Representative, will result in the lowest true interest cost on the Bonds to their maturity, including, but not limited to current financial market conditions and current interest rates for obligations comparable to the Bonds.

In the case of an optional redemption, the notice of redemption may state that the City retains the right to rescind the redemption notice and the redemption by giving a notice of rescission to the affected Registered Owners at any time prior to the scheduled optional redemption date. Any notice of optional redemption that is so rescinded shall be of no effect, and each Bond for which a notice of optional redemption has been rescinded shall remain outstanding. (f) Effect of Redemption. Interest on each Bond called for redemption shall cease to accrue on the date fixed for redemption, unless either the notice of optional redemption is rescinded as set forth above, or money sufficient to effect such redemption is not on deposit in the Bond Fund or in a trust account established to refund or defease the Bond.

Pledge of Taxes. The Bonds constitute a general indebtedness of the City and are payable from tax revenues of the City and such other money as is lawfully available and pledged by the City for the payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds.

The City covenants that it will take all actions necessary to prevent interest on the Bonds from being included in gross income for federal income tax purposes, and it will neither take any action nor make or permit any use of proceeds of the Bonds or other funds of the City treated as proceeds of the Bonds that will cause interest on the Bonds to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes. The City also covenants that it will, to the extent the arbitrage rebate requirements of Section 148 of the Code are applicable to the Bonds, take all actions necessary to comply (or to be treated as having complied) with those requirements in connection with the Bonds.

If the City sets aside in a special trust fund or escrow account irrevocably pledged to that redemption or defeasance (the “trust account”), money and/or Government Obligations maturing at a time or times and bearing interest in amounts sufficient to redeem, refund or defease the defeased Bonds in accordance with their terms, then all right and interest of the Owners of the defeased Bonds in the covenants of this ordinance and in the funds and accounts obligated to the payment of the defeased Bonds shall cease and become void. Thereafter, the Owners of defeased Bonds shall have the right to receive payment of the principal of and interest on the defeased Bonds solely from the trust account and the defeased Bonds shall be deemed no longer outstanding.

Prior to the purchase of any Acquired Obligations, if any are purchased, by the Refunding Trustee, the City reserves the right to substitute other direct, noncallable obligations of the United States of America (“Substitute Obligations”) for any of the Acquired Obligations and to use any savings created thereby for any lawful City purpose if, (a) in the opinion of the City’s bond counsel, the interest on the Bonds and the Refunded Bonds will remain excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes under Sections 103, 148, and 149(d) of the Code, and (b) such substitution shall not impair the timely payment of the amounts required to be paid by the Refunding Plan, as verified by a nationally recognized independent certified public accounting firm. After the purchase of the Acquired Obligations by the Refunding Trustee, if any are purchased, the City reserves the right to substitute therefor cash or Substitute Obligations subject to the conditions that such money or securities held by the Refunding Trustee shall be sufficient to carry out the Refunding Plan, that such substitution will not cause the Bonds or the Refunded Bonds to be arbitrage bonds within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code and regulations thereunder in effect on the date of such substitution and applicable to obligations issued on the issue dates of the Bonds and the Refunded Bonds, as applicable, and that the City obtain, at its expense: (1) a verification by a nationally recognized independent firm acceptable to the Refunding Trustee confirming that the payments of principal of and interest on the substitute securities, if paid when due, and any other money held by the Refunding Trustee will be sufficient to carry out the Refunding Plan; and (2) an opinion from a nationally recognized bond counsel to the City, to the effect that the disposition and substitution or purchase of such securities, under the statutes, rules, and regulations then in force and applicable to the Bonds, will not cause the interest on the Bonds or the Refunded Bonds to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes and that such disposition and substitution or purchase is in compliance with the statutes and regulations applicable to the Bonds.

(g)Mini-parks shall be attractively landscaped and shall be provided with sufficient natural or man-made screening or buffer areas to minimize any negative impacts upon adjacent residences.

The choices that confront Arlington at the present time are significant and could alter the character and quality of open space, trail, and park facilities, and recreation programs and services if not adequately planned. This document outlines the choices that are available and the means for implementing preferred actions found to be beneficial to Arlington residents. Objectives The specific objectives of this planning effort were to: Define the setting – within Arlington including climate, environment, wildlife habitat, history, culture, population changes, and current development conditions. Inventory assets – existing public and private park facilities and recreational services that have been developed to-date within and near Arlington by the city, Marysville, Marysville School District, Snohomish County, Arlington School District, Washington State, and private non-profit and for-profit organizations. Forecast demand – for future open space, trails, and park facilities and recreation services that may be provided by the city or other agencies. Identify appropriate roles and responsibilities – that should be undertaken by Arlington to meet critical open space, trail, and park facilities and recreation program needs. Develop the elements of a citywide plan – for open space, trails, and park facilities and recreation programs including wildlife habitat and conservation areas, open spaces and natural resource areas, trails, athletic fields and facilities, indoor community and recreation centers, and other special purpose facilities. Determine the costs – involved in maintaining and/or improving open space, trails, and park facilities and recreation program levels- of-service (LOS), particularly the possible use of innovative financing tools or methods. Define an implementation program – outlining the actions necessary to realize the plan and update park impact fees including supporting actions necessary for agreements with Snohomish County, Arlington School District, Washington State, and private non-profit and for-profit organization. Determine public opinion – through a series of public participation events and resolve final project, plan, and financing components based on the results of public input. Approach This study analyzed the supply, demand, and need for public and private open space, trail, and park facilities and recreation services within Arlington on a citywide basis and in the city’s urban growth area. The analysis includes city, county, state, school district, homeowner association (HOA), and some private park and recreation assets in order to holistically determine needs, and demand, and thereby the city’s ultimate role in coordinating the development of park and recreational facilities in the future including the city’s role and responsibilities. While HOA and other private facilities are included, that does not mean that these parks are available for public use. It is up to park users to follow posted and adopted rules and make authorized use of HOA and other private facilities. The proposed implementation strategies are the result of this comprehensive or holistic analysis. Generally, the proposed strategies recommend the city focus its resources where open space, trail, and park facilities and recreation needs are most critical and the most effective. 2 Arlington PRMP Public involvement The Arlington Parks & Recreation Department and Parks, Art & Recreation Commission (PARC) oversaw this planning process. During the course of the planning program, the Department conducted a series of: On-line surveys – conducted of city adult residents at the beginning and end of the process to determine their current park utilization practices, condition assessments, and recommendations. The proposals contained within this document represent the opinions developed from these public participation events. Documentation This report is organized into 6 chapters outlining goals and objectives, plan and program elements, and implementation measures. Separate technical appendices detailing the city setting, facility inventories, park opportunities, land and facility demands, finances, and public opinion are available from the Arlington Parks & Recreation Department. Arlington PRMP 3 Chapter 2: Goals and policies Goals and objectives form the framework for the Parks & Recreation, Master Plan (PRMP). A goal is a general statement describing an outcome the City wishes to provide. Goals - typically do not change over time unless community values or economic conditions make it necessary.

Arlington PRMP 11 Chapter 3: Program elements The following proposals concerning elements of the recreational programs approach are based on the results of demand analysis, workshop planning sessions, and the survey of resident households. The proposals outline the vision developed for recreational programs within Arlington for the next 6-20 years. The program proposals are CONCEPTUAL, in some instances, subject to further study and coordination with public and private participants that may modify the eventual program particulars. Population projections Snohomish County’s population - in 1900 was 23,950 persons located primarily along Possession Sound waterfront in Everett. The county’s population increased to 59,209 persons by 1910 or by an annual rate of growth of 9.5% as railroads extended into Snohomish County and the area’s logging, agriculture, and fishing industries grew in importance. Snohomish County population increased over the decades due to the development of the aircraft building industry, the advent of World War 1and 2, and the location of military installations in the area. Recent growth rates, however, have been gradual averaging 1.9% between 2010-2015 and 1.8% between 2015-2020 due largely to the impact of the economic recession on area industries. Washington State’s Office of Financial Management (OFM) expects Snohomish County’s rate of growth will gradually decline from 1.8% on an annual average basis between 2015 and 2020 to 0.7% by 2050 due to the aging of the population. Population components - OFM expects the number of deaths in Snohomish County will increase from 27,272 between 2010-2015 to 47,491 by 2035-2040 due to the aging of the county population while births will only slightly increase from 50,303 between 2010- 2015 to 57,787 by 2035-2040 due to a declining proportion of the population in child-bearing ages and a stable and low birth rate. Net migration will decline from 61,367 in-migrating persons in 2015- 2020 to 38,043 persons by 2035-2040 contributing to Snohomish County’s gradual resident population growth. Age distribution – within Snohomish County will shift with a slightly less proportion of the population in child ages 0-19 of 25.4% in 2020 versus 23.0% by 2050 and more in senior ages 65+ of 14.4% in 2020 versus 23.4% by 2050 reflecting the continued aging of the population in the county like the trends nationally. Arlington’s population – in 1910 was 1,476 people, located along the Stillaguamish River. Arlington’s population fluctuated between 1,418 in 1920 and 1,635 by 1950 or by an annual average rate of - 0.4% to 1.1% as the city’s agriculture, logging, and fishing industries stabilized. Arlington’s population totals and rate of growth increased significantly from 1960 to 1990 as the city’s natural resource industries stabilized and retailing increased, and more significantly from 2000 to 2020 as the area attracted housing developers and warehouse and manufacturing industries. The city’s population and annual average rate of growth are expected to increase from 19,868 persons in 2020 to 36,584 persons by the year 2050 or by 184% due to the area’s urban densification under GMA allocations and an assumption that the city will gradually annex the residential developments within its unincorporated urban growth area (UGA). Population components – most of Arlington’s growth is expected to be due to births and in-migration from households seeking to live in Arlington’s emerging urban center. 12 Arlington PRMP Arlington PRMP 13 Age distribution – Arlington’s age distribution is generated by determining the percent Arlington has attracted of each Snohomish County age group then factoring the attraction rate forward through the projection years and reducing the resulting combined age group totals to match the city’s total population allocation for each year. Arlington’s age distribution will gradually shift with an increasing population in child ages 0-19 of 5,835 persons in 2020 to 9,449 by 2050 or by 162% and a significantly increasing proportion of the population concentrated in senior ages 65+ of 3,086 persons in 2020 to 9,545 persons by 2050 or by 309% similar to what will occur in Snohomish County. Recreation demand Washington State’s Recreation & Conservation Office (RCO) develops a Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) every 6 years to help decision-makers better understand recreation issues statewide and to maintain Washington’s eligibility for federal Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) funds. RCO conducted a series of 12-month diary surveys of a random sample of Washington State residents in 2000 and 2006, and an annual survey in 2012 to determine the type of indoor and outdoor recreation activities residents engaged in over the year including the resident’s age, gender, ethnicity, income, and regional place of residence. The RCO SCORP surveys recorded what residents participated in of 140 different indoor and outdoor activities and special spectator events including the participation rate and number of occasions per year by season, month, week, and type of environment (urban, rural, mountain). The surveys did not record the location of the activity. The 2006 RCO diary-based survey is used in this analysis because it was the most comprehensive and age-specific of the RCO surveys and used computer-assisted telephone interviews of randomly sampled persons (with no more than 1 person per household) during each month of the 12-month survey period from each of the 10 tourism regions. Snohomish County is in the Puget Sound Region that includes Kitsap, Pierce, and Snohomish Counties. For projection purposes, however, Arlington recreation behaviors are likely more representative of the Seattle-King County Region given Arlington’s level of urbanization and age distributed population groups. The 2006 statewide survey was completed by 2,135 persons and collated and weighted by age, gender, region, race, and income of which 300 were completed from the Seattle-King County region and weighted accordingly. The survey is within a +/-2.5% statewide and +/-6.0% by region. Response by age, gender, region, race/ethnicity, and income varies. The 2006 RCO survey elicited what participants did for recreational activities but not where the activity occurred. Survey participants from Seattle-King County may engage in activities but possibly outside of Seattle-King County, and conversely participants from other regions may travel to engage in activities in Seattle-King County. The survey did not control user transpositions between regions. Since the survey was taken in 2006, the survey may not completely reflect recent regional activity trends in some select and emerging activities such as skateboard parks, dog parks, lacrosse, or other niche behaviors.

Top 5 activities with the highest percent of the population participating – in Arlington (Seattle-King County) included walking without a pet, picnicking, barbequing, or cooking out, sightseeing, bicycle riding, and social event indoors. Bottom 5 activities with the lowest percent of the population participating – in Arlington (Seattle-King County) included rugby, surfboarding, wind surfing, lacrosse, and bicycle touring. Organized team sports – involved lesser percentages of the population of the Arlington (Seattle-King County) ranging from the highest for soccer (15.7%) to the lowest for rugby (0.0%). Indoor community center activities – involved a varying range of percentages of the population participating from a social event indoors (35.9%), aerobics/fitness activities (33.9%), swimming in a pool (27.6%), weight conditioning at a facility (21.6%), class or instruction (15.1%), activity center (11.5%), and arts and crafts class or activity (5.0%). Generally, indoor or community center related activities engage the population in greater percentages than organized team sports. Environmental or cultural activities – involved a varying range of percentages of the population participating in sightseeing (48.1%), observe or photograph wildlife or nature (34.2%), beachcombing (20.7%), and visit a nature interpretive center (15.1%). Generally, environmental, or cultural related activities engage the population in greater percentages than indoor or community centers as well as organized team sports. Arlington PRMP 17 Annual frequencies The 2006 RCO survey determined the number of times or the annual frequency that an average participant would engage in each activity. The frequency averages are for all kinds of participants. Enthusiasts or organized team players may engage more frequently than the average indicates but are included within the averaging, nonetheless. Activities with the highest annual frequencies of over 10.0 occasions – in Arlington (Seattle-King County) were for walking without a pet (27.4 times per year), walking with a pet (18.0), observing and photographing wildlife (16.3), jogging or running (11.7), skateboarding (11.3), and playgrounds (10.5). Activities with the lowest annual frequencies of less than 2.0 occasions – in Arlington (Seattle-King County) were for rugby (0.0 times per year), surfboarding (0.0), climbing or mountaineering indoors (1.0), windsurfing (1.0), and visiting a nature or interpretive center (1.7). Organized team sports – in Arlington (Seattle-King County) ranged from the highest for basketball (6.8 times) to the lowest for rugby (0.0). Indoor community center activities – in Arlington (Seattle-King County) were activity center (7.7 times per year), class or instruction (6.0), swimming in a pool (5.0), arts and crafts (3.9), and social event (2.4). Generally, indoor or community center frequencies are like the range of organized team sports. Environmental or cultural activities – in Arlington (Seattle-King County) were observing or photographing wildlife (16.3 times per year), sightseeing (5.1), beachcombing (2.8), and visiting a nature or interpretive center (1.7). Generally, environmental, or cultural related activities that involve observing or photographing wildlife occur in greater numbers per year than indoor or community centers as well as organized team sports. Arlington’s annual volumes 2020-2050 Arlington’s total volume of annual recreation activity is determined by multiplying the age-specific participation and frequency or occurrence rates by the number of persons projected to be in each age-specific category for the projection years. The following table itemizes the projected total annual volume in 2020, 2050, and the amount and percent of volume increase that will occur between 2020-2050.

Percent would like to do more In addition to participation and frequency, the 2006 survey also asked respondents to indicate their preferences to engage in activities they did not participate in or to engage more frequently in activities that they did. Survey results were collated on a statewide per person basis only due to the smaller respondent sample size. Washington State Sightseeing 50.6% Hiking 38.4% Picnicking 37.9% Social event 29.5% Swimming/wading at beach 28.5% Walking without a pet 25.4% Beachcombing 23.2% Walking with a pet 16.0% Visit nature/interpretive center 16.0% Weight conditioning with equipment 11.8% Arts/Crafts class or activity 11.4% Playground activities 10.0% Volleyball 7.2% Bicycle touring 6.5% Badminton 4.6% Football 4.1% 20 Arlington PRMP Arlington PRMP 21 Handball, racquetball, and squash 3.9% Surfboarding 3.8% Activities at indoor community 3.2% Wind surfing 3.0% Source: 2006 SCORP RCO Diary Based Survey Generally, survey participants would like to do and if already participating in, would like to do more of activities with the highest participation rates already including sightseeing (50.6% do and do more), hiking (38.4%), picnicking (37.9%), and so on. Were survey participants to engage in activities and to engage more in activities they are already participating in they could increase the volume of activity but not change the overall rank order of activity participation. Recreational clearinghouse Arlington could seek to operate a web-based recreational clearinghouse coordinating recreational program offerings that include as wide a variety of activities as there is an interest by city residents and tourists, regardless of age, skill level, income – or program provider. Recreational program offerings offered through the clearinghouse should include activities providing health, education, social, recreational, and other welfare activities for children, teens, adults, seniors, and special populations. Parks and Recreation staff or contractors could conduct programs to the extent possible, practical, and consistent with the city’s mission. However, depending on demand, cost, and feasibility, the clearinghouse can also coordinate programs to be conducted by other public, non-profit, or for-profit organizations and even vendors. To the extent possible and practical, program offerings should include activities that will be conducted in Arlington parks, community centers, and trail facilities. However, depending on demand, the clearinghouse may also include program offerings that may be conducted in schools and other public facilities inside or out of the city, as well as at non-profit sites and facilities. Vision The web-based recreational clearinghouse may be realized through the coordination of: Arlington programs – where there is sufficient demand to meet the city’s park and recreation mission and pricing and delivery objectives. Other jurisdictions – including Snohomish County and Arlington School District. Non-profit organizations – such as YMCA, Boy and Girl Scouts, Campfire USA, Arlington athletic leagues, Lions, Rotary, and Kiwanis Clubs, among others. Pricing and delivery criteria Arlington will continuously assess the mission criteria illustrated in the program formula for all program offerings the city is considering of providing with staff, contract instructors, or vendors: 1: Is the program consistent with the city’s park and recreation mission and level of service proposals? If not - the city does not offer the program but may facilitate the program to be offered by other providers including the option of partnering or brokering the program, and/or offering scholarships or other services, and/or publishing the program offering on the clearinghouse. 2: If yes – should the city directly provide the program? If not – the city does not offer the program but may facilitate the program to be offered by other providers including the option of partnering or brokering the program, and/or offering scholarships 22 Arlington PRMP Arlington PRMP 23 or other services, and/or publishing the program offering on the clearinghouse. 3: If yes – what pricing policy or goal should the city establish for the program on a public good or benefit versus private good or benefit scale – full cost recovery, merit pricing, or full subsidy?  Full cost recovery programs - will recover all direct costs (including full and part-time staff, supplies, materials, maintenance, and utilities) and indirect costs (including department overhead for staff benefits). Generally, full cost recovery programs will include services that primarily provide private goods or benefits to a specialized user group, such as golf courses, marinas, RV parks, gun and rifle ranges, equestrian facilities, elite adult sports field rentals, and classes. In some instances, the city may add a surcharge to recover a slight profit or return on investment with which to defray long-term life cycle costs for maintenance and repair, and/or to reinvest in similar facilities elsewhere in the system.  Merit pricing (partial cost recovery) programs – will partially recover direct and indirect costs based on a policy decision about the degree to which each program provides public versus private goods or benefits. Merit pricing programs may also include the providing of scholarships to eligible user individuals or user groups that would prevent the program from realizing full cost recovery. Merit pricing program determinations will consider the degree to which the program provides a public benefit to the public at large or to special users within the general population (such as teens or seniors); whether the program can or is able to be offered by other providers at a reasonable cost; and the practicality of collecting fees for service. Generally, merit price programs may include boat launches, facility rentals, day camps and field activities, youth sports field rentals, senior health and nutrition programs, and safety and instruction programs of all kinds.  Subsidy (no or very low-cost recovery) programs – will not attempt to recover costs as a fee, although it may ask for donations or grants from using individuals, groups, or organizations who benefit or are likely sponsors. Generally, subsidy programs benefit the population at large sufficiently to justify the use of public funding and/or include activities that are not practical to effectively recover a fee or charge, such as special events or festivals, special need programs and playgrounds, interpretive exhibits, parks, and trail related activities. Park service gaps An effective park system should provide a park, trail, playground, 24 Arlington PRMP community center, or other recreation facility within a 5-minute walk of any residential area measured by actual walking routes on trails, paths, sidewalks, or other routes. Natural features such as steep hillsides, water bodies, and other obstacles as well as manmade obstacles like limited access highways or major traffic corridors or the lack of safe paths, trails, sidewalk improvements affect a 5-minute walk measurement. Walkability maps are generated by Geographic Information Systems (GIS) that calculate 5-minute walk distances using roads, sidewalks, paths, and trails that account for natural and manmade obstacles from existing park, recreation, school, and other community facilities. Service gaps are areas that are beyond the 5-minute walk distances of residential developments indicating residents of these areas have to walk further time-distances or commute by bike or vehicle or are blocked by natural or manmade obstacles from or in order to engage in a recreational activity. A walkability map generated around existing city, Snohomish County, Arlington School District, and Homeowner Association (HOA) facilities indicates there are significant developed areas of the city and UGA that lack effective park and recreational services:  Arlington employment center – including portions of the designated manufacturing employment center south of the Airport.  Undeveloped lands – in the southwest of Smokey Point,  Residential neighborhoods – in the northeast central areas where residential developments are providing open space but not picnicking, playgrounds, sports courts, or other park amenities. The plan proposes trails, parks, and recreation facilities to fill these service gaps. Social equity An effective park system should also ensure that park and recreational services and facilities, including those that provide health, nutrition, childcare, education, employment, and socialization as well as recreational activities are provided residents in areas of the city that are less advantaged than the general population due to:  Poverty – particularly for families with children under age 18  Single parent households – headed by a male or female with children with no other spouse present  Non-English speaking – defined by immigrant households where members do not speak English very well or not at all  Housing cost stressed – of households paying more than 35% of gross income for rent or mortgage payments GIS maps generated for the city using the US Census Bureau’s 2019 American Community Survey (ACS) Block Groups indicate:  Households with high housing costs – are more than 40% of all households located in the older neighborhoods of the city east of downtown.  Households headed by single parents – are 21-30% of all households located in the southwest corner and northwest of Smokey Point.  Households with incomes below poverty lines – more than 10% of all households located in the older neighborhoods east of downtown.  Households of non-English speaking – are more than 4% of all households located northwest of Smokey Point. The plan proposes to increase trails, parks, and recreation amenities in these areas to provide social equity.

The proposals outline the vision developed for parks, recreation, and open spaces in Arlington for the next 20 years. The proposals are CONCEPTUAL, in some instances, subject to further study and coordination with public and private participants that may modify the eventual project components. The proposals refer to a site or property that may provide a major type of park, recreation, or open space activity. A particular site or property may include one or all of the described plan features. The proposals in each section describe the improvements that will be accomplished under each major type of plan element. Conservancies Resource conservancies or open spaces protect, preserve, and conserve lands that have environmental features of critical area significance (floodplains and landslide hazard), ecological importance (shorelines, wetlands and watersheds), forestland (old growth, woodland cover, and prime productive), wildlife habitat (threatened and endangered species), and open space. To the extent possible and practical, resource conservancy lands will link preserved open spaces (even though these lands may not be publicly accessible) to greenways and open space networks. These linked areas will visually define the developed urban area in accordance with the objectives of the Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA). Resource conservancy lands may provide nature and interpretive trails, exhibits, and interpretive facilities to increase public awareness and appreciation for significant and visually interesting environmental, wildlife, and forest features. Resource conservancy activities may be located on independent properties or include portions of other sites that provide resource activities, trail corridors, or other public facilities. Conservancies may also be developed on other publicly owned lands subject to public use agreements or easements; or on lands acquired for other public purposes including storm water management, groundwater recharge, potable water storage, and wastewater treatment. Vision Conservancies may be realized through:  Acquisition of development rights and/or title of resource lands or historical sites - that would otherwise be developed or used for other urban land use;  Provision for public access and interpretive use - that would not be possible if the lands remained in private ownership without such provisions.  Provisions for signing and interpretation - subject to appropriate security measures and underlying property owner agreements, Conservancies – open space Existing public conservancy sites The following sites provide open space conservancy protection through easements, land use agreements, or acquisitions by Arlington, Marysville, Snohomish County, Washington State, and Arlington School District.

Total proposed multipurpose trail miles 22.7 Arlington PRMP 53 54 Arlington PRMP Athletic parks Local or neighborhood parks – will be developed with playgrounds, basketball, volleyball, grass play fields, and other facilities that provide pickup games, youth sports, and leagues of interest to neighborhood children and families. These local park improvements will be combined with picnic shelters and tables, trail systems, natural areas, local schools, and other facilities to create an accessible neighborhood park system in Arlington. Local or neighborhood parks will be sited as independent properties or portions of other sites that include trail corridors, resource parks, multi-use indoor centers or other public facilities. Where practical, local or neighborhood playgrounds will be co-located with elementary schools. Where feasible and appropriate, neighborhood parks will be sited on lands that are owned and operated for other public purposes. Local or neighborhood parks will be located at sites serviced by trails and local bicycling routes that are within a 5-10-minute walk convenient to younger age neighborhood youth and families. Local or neighborhood parks will be developed to provide flexible play capabilities - typically providing 1 to 2 dirt or grass rectangular fields with portable goal and backstop stanchions to allow for varied age groups and activities. Community or regional parks – will be developed with competitive athletic court and field facilities to provide the highest quality competitive playing standards and requirements. The competitive regional athletic park complexes will include field activities that satisfy the largest number of organized and older age recreational league participants including skateboard, soccer, football, rugby, lacrosse, softball, and baseball facilities. Regional athletic parks will be developed for older youth and adult league tournaments and other peak competition days, events, and schedules thereby freeing fields located at elementary schools, neighborhood parks, and other local sites for younger age clinics, practices, neighborhood pickup play, and some youth league participant games. Regional recreational parks will be located on sites that can accommodate high traffic volumes, evening lighted field use, noise, and other activities without adversely impacting adjoining land uses. Regional competitive recreational areas will be developed to provide sustained, high-capacity play capabilities typically providing 3 to 5 full-size competition fields at a location. Most sites will be designed to provide high capacity, rectangular field configurations that include turf or all-weather fields with permanent soccer goals and baseball diamond backstops at the field ends with moveable perimeter fencing, spectator seating, and night-lighting systems. When practical and feasible, regional athletic parks will include middle or high school facilities, particularly where the facilities are located with other competition fields or when the facilities can be used for recreational league tournaments or special events. Local and regional athletic parks - will be improved with restrooms, concessions, and parking lots including grass overflow parking areas to accommodate peak events or schedules. Depending on the location, some sites will include tennis, basketball, volleyball courts, and other recreational facilities. Where appropriate, some regionally competitive recreational sites will also be furnished with group picnic shelters and possibly even recreational vehicle overnight campsite services to support tournament events. Vision Local or neighborhood athletic parks with playgrounds, courts, and fields will:  Provide flexible informal activity areas,  Suited to younger age and local neighborhood game activities,  In sites convenient to neighborhood youth and families,  At sites that may co-locate with elementary schools and facilities. Arlington PRMP 55 Regional athletic parks will:  Provide the highest quality competitive play athletic facilities,  Of the highest capacity facility improvement designs,  Within convenient proximity to organized adult and older age recreational league playing populations,  At sites that do not disrupt adjacent land uses,  At sites that may co-locate with schools and/or utilize other major public facilities,  To alleviate overcrowding on smaller, more local park and elementary school fields so local sites can be used for younger age league participant games, practice sessions, and neighborhood pickup games. Playgrounds Under the proposed plan, the city will develop playgrounds and play areas to provide access within a 5-minute walking distance of most residential areas in the city. The proposal will design age- appropriate features for young and older age children.

The larger field areas can be subdivided to support younger age players’ practice and games. For example, a regulation field of 330x360 feet can be subdivided to support 12 age 6-7 fields of 75x120 feet. Consequently, while the fields are counted by regulation size the actual playing capacity of the fields can increase depending on the players age and field requirements. Baseball and softball fields Baseball and softball field dimensions vary considerably by age and league for baseline, infield, pitcher’s mound, and distance to left/right and center field fences. The field-defining dimension, however, is the distance to center field as the infield dimensions can be modified to fit the player’s ages and league for baseball and softball. Center field baseball distances for Pinto and Little League are 200- 250 feet, Bronco 250 feet, Pony 300 feet, and high school and college 350-400 feet. Softball center field distances are proportionately less for youth ages 10 and under are 175 feet, high school 225 feet, college and adult 220-250 feet, and adult slow pitch 315 feet. Baseball/softball fields may be dedicated with fixed skinned infield diamonds and outfield fences or located at the ends of rectangular fields where soccer fields can be overlaid with the grass outfield areas. The following athletic fields have been developed to support various age group leagues in the city. Some of the listed school facilities may not be suitable or available for public competitive game play during school or school team use. 64 Arlington PRMP Arlington PRMP 65 Existing athletic fields This community park is located in the MIC Subarea at 18501 59th Avenue.  2 grass lighted Little League field with turf infields  1 grass Little League field  1 multipurpose soccer field 2 Waldo E Evans Memorial Park 1 Avenue.  1 grass lighted 300-foot baseball field Marysville 3 This community park is located at 6100 152nd Avenue Street NE southeast of Arlington city limits.  3 lighted soccer fields  Additional athletic fields proposed Marysville School District 4 4 Soccer Complex 4 This school property is located at 152nd Street NE and 51st Avenue NE south of Arlington city limits.  Small rectangular grass field divided into 2 junior soccer  Large rectangular grass field divided into 2 full size or multiple smaller size soccer Snohomish County 9 5 Twin Rivers Park 9 This regional park is located north across the Stillaguamish River from Arlington at 8003 SR-530 NE near the confluence of the North and South Forks of the Stillaguamish River.  3 grass unlighted 250-foot softball fields  Multipurpose grass unlighted field – 6 soccer fields Arlington School District 20 6 Eagle Creek Elementary School 2 This elementary school is located in the Old Town Residential Subarea at 1216 E 5th Street adjacent to Post Middle School.  Grass baseball field with backstop  Grass soccer field with standards 7 Kent Prairie Elementary School 1 This elementary school is located in the Kent Prairie Subarea at 8110 - 207th Street NE.  Grass baseball field with backstop 8 Pioneer Elementary School 3 This elementary school is located in the Hilltop Subarea at 8213 Eaglefield Drive.  Rectangular grass soccer field with 2 baseball diamonds with backstops and bleachers at the corners 9 Presidents Elementary School 2 This elementary school is located in the Old Town Residential Subarea at 505 East 3rd Street.  Rectangular grass soccer field with baseball backstop in corner 10 Haller Middle School 3 at 600 East 1st Street.  Rectangular grass soccer field with 2 baseball diamonds with backstops and bleachers in the corners 11 Post Middle School 2 at 1220 East 5th Street.  Grass baseball field with backstop  Grass multiuse soccer field with standards 12 Arlington High School 6 This high school is located in the Hilltop Subarea at 18821 Crown Ridge Blvd.  2 rectangular grass soccer fields  2 batting cages  1 grass 200-foot softball field with backstops and bleachers  1 grass 200-foot baseball field with backstops and bleachers  1 grass 250-foot baseball field with backstop and bleachers  1 grass 300-foot baseball field with backstop and bleachers 13 This alternative school is located in the MIC Subarea at 4407 - 172nd Street NE.  Rectangular grass soccer field Total existing youth soccer 75-180x120-240-foot Total existing competition soccer 300-330x360-foot Total existing youth baseball/softball 200-250-foot Total competition baseball 300-foot 7 15 17 2 66 Arlington PRMP Proposed athletic fields Arlington 15-19 3 Country Charm Park 15-19 This community park is located in the Old Town Residential Subarea at 604 East Gilman Street.  Multipurpose rectangular fields with baseball diamonds in corners Total proposed youth soccer 75-180x120-240-foot Total proposed competition soccer 300-330x360-foot Total proposed youth baseball/softball 200-250-foot Total proposed competition baseball 300-foot 6-10 3 6 0 Arlington PRMP 67 Community facilities Community centers provide indoor activities on a year-round basis centrally accessible to residents for day and evening use. The facilities may be developed within a market-oriented service concept that protects the specialized investments that have already been made in these facilities by school districts and private organizations. Community centers may not be developed where the using population will not be of sufficient size to realistically support an independent facility. In these circumstances, an existing center may be expanded within the next closest or supportable service area to provide facility requirements and programs. Indoor community or recreation facilities may provide space for swimming pools (including outdoor facilities), gymnasiums, physical conditioning, arts and crafts, class and instruction rooms, meeting facilities, kitchens and dining, daycare and latch key, teen and senior center, and special population resource activities. Community centers may also incorporate historic museums, interpretive nature exhibits, and other buildings or constructions. Independent community center buildings and sites may be developed to provide space and services for teen, adult, or senior center activities that occur during or conflict with school activities and sites. These facilities may provide space and services that are not suitably provided at school sites or that may not be duplicated by school facilities and programs. When community and recreation centers are developed independent of school facilities, the buildings may be independent properties or portions of other sites that include trail corridors, resource activities, athletic or other public facilities such as civic centers and libraries. Vision As described, the community and recreation center vision will: Provide a variety of indoor activities, Within a convenient proximity to using populations, Within a facility and services concept that recognizes and supports the investments that have already made in existing city, county, and school facilities and programs, and In cooperative ventures with other interested and participating public and private agencies. Assembly and meeting facilities Meeting facilities including conference rooms, classrooms, assembly rooms, and theaters support a variety of functions including nutrition and health programs, education classes, music and drama instruction, public presentations, and performances for youth, teens, seniors, adults, and other community members. The facilities may be dedicated spaces, as in theaters, or flexible and divisible spaces that can be subdivided for a variety of activities. The facilities may include kitchens or catering areas, dressing rooms, or audio/visual supporting equipment in multipurpose or independent buildings and ownerships. The inventory does not include school classrooms and assembly halls that may also be used for meeting activities after hours or after other school hosted events.

Gymnasium sizes can increase the overall interior size from 6,000 square feet or less in elementary schools to 8,400 to 14,100 square feet in middle and high schools depending on locker and shower accommodations. Middle school and older ages play on hardwood floors while elementary school students may play on a variety of surfaces in multipurpose assembly rooms or in middle or high school gymnasiums in subdivided courts with lowered backboards. Full size basketball courts can be subdivided to provide backboards along the sidelines to support 4 half courts for practice or for younger age groups including elementary school games. The courts can also be subdivided to support 1-2 volleyball (30x60 feet) or 4 badminton courts (20x44 feet).

In addition, they are usually at least 2 meters deep and hold at least 500,000 gallons of water although they can hold up to an average of 660,000 gallons as well. If touch panels are used in competition, then the distance between touch panels should be either 25 or 50 meters to qualify for FINA recognition. This means that Olympic pools are generally oversized, to accommodate touch panels used in competition. The official dimensions of an Olympic swimming pool are defined by FINA, the international governing body for the sport of swimming. This version of the Olympic-sized swimming pool debuted in the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics. Beforehand, the Summer Olympics featured a traditional 8-lane course with a depth of 7 feet, now the minimum depth requirement. The new Olympic-sized swimming pool increased the lane count from 8 to 10 to give swimmers a "buffer lane", helping to absorb waves generated by the swimmers' movements, allowing for less resistance against the swimmers. Increasing the depth of the pool gives swimmers another advantage, as the added depth assists the lane lines in dissipating water churn from the swimmers, creating less hydrodynamic drag. Professional lap pools have a length of about 82 feet or 25 meters. Apart from the gym, 40-foot-long pools are considered lap pools as well. Widths may vary from 15 to 20 feet depending on the number of lanes. Playground variations of aquatic facilities include splash pads where surface water features are designed for children to play.

Special use facilities may include plazas and streetscapes, arts centers, historical museums, and similar special interest services. Special use facilities may be independent properties or portions of other sites that include trail corridors, resource park activities, recreational areas or facilities, community facilities or centers or other public facilities. Special use facilities may be sited on other publicly owned lands or under lease agreements with private landowners or organizations or on purchased properties. Special events and landmarks Special event spaces and urban accents provide small and large gathering places for everyday as well as special festivals, art and farmers’ markets, and other activities. The spaces may be designed for small informal family or neighborhood gatherings, or larger for community-wide or even regional events. Improvements may be carried out entirely within the park site or be designed and managed to spill over onto adjacent streets and public facility parking lots.

Community gardens utilize individual or shared plots to produce vegetables, fruits, flowers, or other plants for the enjoyment of the gardeners including the option of selling the products at farmers’ and other markets. Community gardens increase the availability of nutritious foods, strengthen community ties, reduce environmental hazards, reduce food miles, and create a more sustainable system. Community gardens are part of the sharing economy making it possible for many people to enjoy a resource – in this case, land for gardening – that they could not afford on their own. Community gardens provide individual rentable garden plots typically 10x20-40 feet with compost bins, a shed for storing tools, irrigation hookups, a common gathering area sometimes covered with benches or picnic tables, and a perimeter fence to control wildlife. Existing community garden Arlington 1 The 0.5-acre community garden is located on Presidents Elementary School in the Old Town Residential Subarea at 505 East 3rd Street.

Dog parks have varying features, although they typically provide a 4 to 6-foot high fence, separate double-gated entry and exit points, sand or gravel or grass surface for adequate drainage and waste control, benches for humans, shade for hot days, parking, water, pooper-scooper to pick up and dispose of animal waste, and regular grounds maintenance and cleaning. Dog parks may also offer wheelchair access, a pond for swimming, and a variety of exercise equipment for small or large dogs. A public dog park is typically a 0.5-1.0-acre fenced outdoor area where people and small or large dogs can play together. Similarly, a dog run is a smaller fenced area, created for the same use, which is often located within an existing park. Unless well-lit, most public dog parks are open from dawn until dusk. Some public dog parks have vaccination requirements but are not typically staffed or enforced unless there is an incident that is reported to animal control. 74 Arlington PRMP Third Street Community Garden Arlington PRMP 75 Existing dog parks This 0.3-acre dog park is located in the Old Town Business District 3 Subarea at 1100 West Avenue.  Upgrade fenced area with separation for small and large dogs  Install water fountain, exercise equipment amenities for dogs  Install benches, covered seating area, water fountain, pooper- scooper for dog owners Marysville 1 2 Strawberry Fields Athletic Complex 1 southeast of Arlington city limits.  Fended area for small and large dog exercise Total existing dog parks 2 Proposed dog parks Arlington 1 1 Country Charm Park 1 This community park is located in the Old Town Residential Subarea at 604 East Gilman Street.  Designate open field for limited off-leash exercise area  Install fenced areas with separation for small and large dogs  Install splash pond, water fountain, exercise equipment amenities for dogs  Install benches, covered seating area, water fountain, pooper- scooper for dog owners Total proposed dog parks 1 Museums Museums collect, house, and exhibit artworks, manuscripts, photos, clothes, tools, equipment, vehicles, and other artifacts to illustrate, interpret, and educate the public about the history and culture of a place, town, city, or region.

Golf, unlike most ball games, cannot and does not utilize a standardized playing area, and coping with the varied terrains encountered on different courses is a key part of the game. The game at the usual level is played on a course with an arranged progression of 18 holes, though recreational courses can be smaller, often having 9 holes. Each hole on the course must contain a teeing ground to start from, and a putting green containing the actual hole or cup 4 inches in diameter. There are other standard forms of terrain in between, such as the fairway, rough, bunkers, and various hazards but each hole on a course is unique in its specific layout and arrangement. Golf courses may be improved with a variety of facilities including practice putting greens, driving ranges, pitch-n-put short golf courses, equipment stores, lockers and showers, restaurants, banquet rooms, and member lodges. 76 Arlington PRMP Existing golf courses holes This 138.2-acre private facility is located in the Hilltop Subarea at 7619 Country Club Lane.

The tasks represent the general priorities established by workshops, open houses, the survey of residents, and the survey of registered voters. As shown, a number of parties may be responsible for the leadership and management, participation, and supporting aspects of each action – as described in the following summaries. The tasks are grouped according to subject matter and not priority. Adopt plan Task 1: Adopt Arlington PRMP as GMA element Arlington City Council will by ordinance adopt the Arlington PRMP as a stand-alone planning document for compliance with the Washington State Recreation & Conservation Office (RCO) and as a complementary document of Arlington’s Comprehensive Plan in accordance with Growth Management Act (GMA) provisions. Participants – Arlington City Council with the assistance of the Arlington Planning Commission, and other stakeholders. Action Make Arlington PRMP available on the Arlington website – and distribute copies to appropriate public agencies and interested public and private parties in accordance with GMA adoption provisions. Arlington Planning Commission reviews Arlington PRMP – as necessary as part of Arlington annual comprehensive plan update and provides for public hearing in conformance with GMA. Arlington adopts Arlington PRMP – as a component of the Arlington Comprehensive Plan. Arlington adopts the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) integrating the PRMP – as an element of the Arlington comprehensive plan, thereby implementing the CIP in accordance with GMA provisions. Adopt program finance strategies Task 2: Expand clearinghouse function Arlington will continue development and operation of its website which provides recreation program offerings that include a wide variety of activities accommodating the interests of city residents regardless of age, skill level, income – or program provider. The Arlington website will provide information related to recreation program activities providing health, education, social, recreational, and other welfare activities for youth, teens, adults, seniors, and special populations. The website will also provide other park provider information pertinent to the community as resources allow. Depending on budget considerations, Arlington staff or contractors may conduct park and recreational programs. However, depending on demand, cost, and feasibility, and when practical and consistent with Arlington’s mission statements, Arlington may also coordinate with programs conducted by other public, nonprofit, or for-profit organizations and vendors. Arlington program offerings will include activities that will be conducted in Arlington parks, facilities, and trails. However, depending on demand, Arlington may also conduct programs in schools and other public facilities across the city, as well as in nonprofit and other facilities. Participants – Arlington, Arlington School District, YMCA, Arlington Athletic Leagues and Clubs, and other nonprofit and private organizations. Arlington PRMP | 103 Action Continue to operate an Arlington clearinghouse website - for recreational activities. Task 3: Monitor user fee schedules Arlington staff will assess criteria for all prospective program offerings. If the program is consistent with Arlington’s mission and level-of-service proposals shown in this plan, and if resources exist, Arlington will offer the program under its recreational cost benefit policy that establishes a benefit scale under one of the following cost recovery scenarios: Full cost recovery programs - will recover all direct costs (including full and part-time staff, supplies, materials, maintenance, and utilities) and indirect costs (including department overhead for staff benefits). Merit pricing (partial cost recovery) programs – will partially recover direct and indirect costs based on a policy decision about the degree to which each program provides public versus private goods or benefits. Merit pricing programs may also include the providing of scholarships to eligible user individuals or user groups that would prevent the program from realizing full cost recovery. Subsidy (no or very low-cost recovery) programs – will not attempt to recover costs as a fee, although it may ask for donations or grants from using individuals, groups, or organizations who benefit or are likely sponsors. Participants – Arlington, Arlington School District, and non- profit and for-profit organizations. Action Monitor user fee schedules to maintain a benefits scale for recreation activities – collect user fees under a full, merit, or subsidy-based cost recovery policy for recreation programs. Task 4: Recruit program vendors Arlington will assess the mission criteria for all prospective program offerings. If programs are not consistent with Arlington’s mission and level-of-service proposals shown in this plan, Arlington will not offer the program, but may consider a partnership with other providers. This could include offering scholarships or other services or publishing the program offering. Depending on the program activity, other vendors may include: Other jurisdictions – including Snohomish County, Arlington School District, and Washington State. Nonprofit organizations – such as the YMCA, Boys & Girls Clubs, Boy and Girl Scouts, Campfire USA, Lions, Rotary, and Kiwanis Clubs, among others. Private for-profit entities and vendors – such as Stillaguamish Athletic Club, among others. Participants – Arlington, Arlington School District, Snohomish County, and non-profit and for-profit organizations. Action Work in conjunction with other sponsors and vendors - to provide recreation activities as appropriate. Adopt project finance strategies Task 5: Allocate capital facility funds as specified in the Capital Improvements Program (CIP) Arlington City Council will allocate an appropriate amount of the monies received from dedicated park, recreation, open space, and trails-oriented revenue programs to provide funds for PRMP acquisition and development projects that reflect the objectives of these programs. The revenue programs to be coordinated may include Arlington property and sales tax fund proceeds, Arlington Real Estate Excise Taxes (REET), and grant applications to the Washington State Recreation & Conservation Office (RCO), among others. Arlington PMRP | 104 Action Allocate a proportional amount from existing park, recreation, open space, and trail-oriented revenue programs to fund the acquisition and development of PRMP projects – designating monies from Arlington property tax levy, sales tax proceeds, Arlington Real Estate Excise Taxes (REET), and RCO grants. Task 6: Update GMA park impact fees Arlington City Council will adopt a coordinated GMA park impact fee system on a citywide basis for citywide facility acquisition and development. The Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA) allows Arlington to impose a park impact fee on proposed residential, commercial, and industrial developments in the city as a means of maintaining existing park, recreation, and open space levels-of- service (ELOS). The adopted ordinance for impact fees estimates the impact each development project has on parks, recreation, and open space facilities within a project benefit zone and makes provisions for setting aside the resources, including lands or monies, necessary to offset a project’s citywide impacts. The dollar value of a project's park, recreation, and open space impact may be offset by the project developer of an amount equal to the combined facility acquisition and development costs that Arlington and/or another providing agency would incur to maintain the same existing level-of-service (ELOS). A developer may be allowed to choose any combination of land or cash mitigation measures including credit for any park or recreation facilities to be included within a project development. The park impact fee ordinance considers the following when determining the types of mitigation measures or development credits to be made available to the developer: Will the facility - be available to the public, Will it have a designated owner - responsible for continuing operation and maintenance (the owner may be a common property owner's association or other agency), and, Will it correspond to and not exceed or vary from - the types of park, recreation, and open space facilities that are being impacted (a developer could provide but should not be able to take full credit value for facilities for which there is no shortage, impact or local interest). Land contributions can be accepted in lieu of monies if the lands will be suitable sites for future facilities. Under GMA provisions, land and monies accumulated under the proposed ordinance must be invested within a reasonable time or returned to the contributing developer. Arlington can conduct periodic program reviews with residents, user groups, the school district, and other agencies to decide the most efficient way to deliver the facilities mitigated by the ordinance. Alternative delivery methods could include: Acquisition of suitable sites – upon agreement with Arlington or in conjunction with other public or school facilities (including title transfer if other public or school agencies enter into special agreements assuming development, operation, and maintenance responsibilities). Development of facilities - on other public or school sites (if other public or school agencies enter into agreements assuming future operation and maintenance responsibilities and costs). Or Any other alternative - including development, operation or maintenance proposals by user groups or private concessionaires or non-profit organizations or, developers that provide a viable facility in accordance with park, recreation, and open space strategies. Participants – Arlington City Council and Planning Commission with the assistance of Arlington School District and non-profit and for-profit organizations. Action Continue with the GMA park impact fee on a citywide basis –collecting a proportional fee based on the value of community facilities regardless of facility ownership and allocating the fees for citywide acquisition and development in accordance with this plan regardless of agency sponsor. Arlington PRMP | 105 Task 7: Seek a citywide capital facility and O&M park levy Arlington City Council may place a limited duration property tax levy proposal for voter approval on a citywide basis for the acquisition, development, and operation of parks, recreation, and open space facilities throughout the city. The funds collected from the levy will be allocated to the appropriate sponsoring agency, which may include the city, school districts, or non-profit organization, for the realization of park, recreation, and open space facilities identified within this plan. Under Washington State enabling acts, Arlington may levy a property tax for general governmental purposes at a rate not to exceed $3.60 per $1,000 of the assessed value of all taxable property within the city. The total of all property taxes for all taxing authorities cannot exceed 1.0% of assessed valuation, or $10.00 per $1,000 of value. If the taxes of all districts exceed 1.0% or $10.00 amount, each is proportionately reduced until the total is at or below the 1.0% limit. In 2001, Washington State law was amended by Proposition 747, a statutory provision limiting the growth of the regular property tax levy to 1.0% per year, after adjustments for new construction. Any proposed increases over this amount are subject to a referendum vote. The statute was intended to control local governmental spending by controlling the annual rate of growth of property taxes. In practice, however, the statute can reduce the effective property tax yield to an annual level far below a city's levy authorization, particularly when property values are increasing rapidly. Proposition 747, the statutory provision limiting the growth of regular property taxes to 1.0% per year, can be waived by referendum approval of a simple (50%) majority of Arlington’s registered voters. Arlington voters may be asked to approve a resetting of the property tax levy rate that will adjust the amount of revenue the city can generate. (The new total revenue that will be generated by a resetting of the rate will be subject to the same 1.0% limitation, however, and the total amount of revenue and the resulting property tax rate will start to decline again in accordance with the Proposition.) The adjusted rate and revenue will be used to finance the PROS facility proposals in this plan – or the projects and programs from this plan that involve construction, maintenance, and operations aspects that a majority of the voters are willing to pay for under the adjusted rate. Arlington voters may be asked to reset the rate on a permanent basis with the new differential rate dedicated to citywide PRMP proposals, subject to the provisions of Proposition 747. Or Arlington voters may be asked to reset the rate on a temporary basis, where the rate is adjusted until a specific amount of revenue has been generated to finance a specified number of PROS projects or programs – whereupon the rate reverts to the original or a specified amount defined in the referendum. Participants – Arlington City Council with the assistance of the Arlington Parks & Recreation Department, and other potential providers. Action Submit and approve a limited duration property tax levy or a property tax levy rate adjustment (on permanent or temporary basis) to acquire, develop, operate, and maintain facilities – allocating the additional revenues for acquisition, development, and operation in accordance with this plan regardless of agency sponsor. Initiate PRMP projects Task 8: Protect open space and conservancies As appropriate, using funds generated from adjusted program fees and schedules, possible impact fees, and the possible limited duration levy or levy lid lift, Arlington will acquire fee or use agreements and conserve significant wildlife, forestland, and open spaces indicated within this PRMP.

Depending on schedules and availabilities, initial acquisitions of development rights or fee title may include riverfront, community garden, on and off-road trails, dog parks, playgrounds, picnic sites and tables, group picnic shelters and parks, soccer fields, community facility upgrades, and others indicated in this PRMP. Participants – Arlington City Council, and the participation of other public and non-profit organizations. Action Initiate the acquisition of fee title or use agreements and conservancy of significant open space and conservancy sites – allocating revenues for significant properties in accordance with this Arlington PRMP regardless of agency sponsor. Task 9: Acquire/develop parks Using funds generated from adjusted program fees and schedules, possible impact fees, and possible limited duration levy, or levy lid lift, Arlington City Council will acquire, develop, maintain, and operate parks indicated within this plan.

Depending on schedules and availability, initial acquisitions and developments may include waterfront access, community gardens, off-road trails, dog parks, playgrounds, picnic tables and Arlington PMRP | 106 shelters, athletic field improvements, and recreation/community center upgrades to be distributed across the city. Participants – Arlington City Council, and the participation of other public and non-profit organizations. Action Initiate the acquisition, development, maintenance, and operation of parks – allocating revenues in accordance with this Arlington PRMP regardless of agency sponsor. Task 10: Acquire/develop trail systems As appropriate, using funds generated from adjusted program fees and schedules, possible impact fees, the possible limited duration levy, or levy lid lift, Arlington City Council will acquire, develop, maintain, and operate the significant on and off-road trail systems indicated within this Arlington PRMP. Where appropriate, monies will be allocated to and/or combined with monies provided by the county, state agencies, and non- profit organizations for significant projects. Generally, Arlington Public Works Department will develop and maintain non- motorized trail connections within public road rights-of-way. Depending on schedules and availability, initial acquisitions and developments may include off-road hiking, biking, and multipurpose trails extending within and between environmental areas, parks, schools, community facilities, and neighborhoods across the city. Participants – Arlington City Council, Public Works Department, other public and non-profit organizations, and property owners.

Action Adjust parks, recreation, and open space vision, strategies, and implementing measures – based on the results of the follow- up assessments. Arlington PRMP Plan A-1 Appendix A: Setting Arlington is located at Latitude: 48.18 North, Longitude: 122.14 West with a land area of 9.26 square miles of which 0.01 square miles is water. Arlington's city limits are generally defined to the south by Marysville at SR-531/172nd Street NE and roughly 165th Street NE, to the west by Interstate 5, to the north by the Stillaguamish River, and to the east by the Cascade Range foothills. Arlington’s urban growth area (UGA) includes 10.3 square miles within and outside of city limits. Climate Washington State's climate is strongly influenced by moisture-laden air masses created in the Pacific Ocean. The air masses may move into the region any time of the year, but particularly during fall, winter, and spring seasons. The air flowing from the Pacific Ocean is interrupted first by the Olympic Mountains and then significantly by the Cascade Mountains. As a result of the mountain ranges, the west or windward sides of the Cascades receive moderate to heavy rainfall and the east or leeward side of the state located in the "rain shadow" of the Cascades receive a light to moderate amount of precipitation. The Cascades also affect temperature ranges in the state. The west or windward side is influenced by maritime air masses generally milder than those that sweep down from the Canadian Rocky Mountains on the east or leeward side of the state. Consequently, eastern Washington usually has colder winters and hotter summers, while western Washington is milder and more frost-free. Arlington’s climate is similar to most of the Puget Sound lowlands, with dry summers and mild, rainy winters. Arlington averages 181 days of precipitation per year. Arlington's location in the foothills brings additional precipitation compared to nearby communities, with 46 inches annually compared to 33 inches in Everett. Arlington rarely receives significant snowfall, with an average of 7 inches per year since 1922. July is Arlington's warmest month, with average high temperatures of 73.6 °F while January is the coolest, at an average high of 44.5 °F. The highest recorded temperature, 103 °F, occurred on June 28, 2021, amid a regional heat wave, and the lowest, 7 °F, occurred on January 1, 1979. According to the Köppen climate classification system Arlington has a warm-summer Mediterranean climate. Earth Washington is divided into three principal physiographic divisions - the Pacific Mountain System, the Rocky Mountain System, and the Intermontane Plateaus. Pacific Mountain System - is defined by the Olympic Peninsula (the Pacific Border province) and the Cascade Mountain range and includes all counties that contain portions of the Cascade Mountains (the Cascade Mountain province). Northern Rocky Mountain System - is defined by the foothills of the Rocky Mountain ranges and includes all counties that are located north of the Columbia River and east of the Cascade Mountain system. Intermontane Plateau - is defined by the high plateaus created by the uplift between the Cascade and Rocky Mountain ranges and includes all counties that are located along the southern drainage basins of the Columbia River. The mountains were in turn, subject to the action of periodic glacial intrusions - the most recent being the Pleistocene glacial period more than 15,000 years ago. The Pleistocene glacial intrusion gradually carved and flooded Puget Sound, the lowland areas, and other valleys alongside the Cascade foothills. A-2 Arlington PRMP Plan Arlington PRMP Plan A-3 A-4 Arlington PRMP Plan Arlington is located within the eastern edge of the Puget Trough section of the Cascade Mountain province of the Pacific Mountain System. The Cascade Mountains were created by continuous volcanic activity along the border of the underlying continental plates. The Stillaguamish River valley and floodplain, including Arlington, lies in a lahar hazard zone 60 miles downstream from Glacier Peak, an active stratovolcano in the eastern part of the county. During an eruption 13,000 years ago, several eruption-generated lahars deposited more than 7 feet of sediment on modern-day Arlington. Arlington lies on a glacial terrace formed during the Pleistocene epoch by the recession of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet. Arlington covers a series of hills at an elevation of 100 to 200 feet above sea level. Downtown Arlington is situated on a bluff above the confluence of the Stillaguamish River and its North and South Forks. Soil regions Washington State soils were created by a combination of elements including the nature of the parent material or rock type, climate, and the characteristics of the local terrain. These combined processes created 11 principal soil regions in the state ranging from deposits with high concentrations of organic matter created by glacial and marine actions along Puget Sound to deposits with very low organic matter located in the eastern arid portions of the state. Water The Arlington UGA spans four major sub-basins - the Portage Creek sub-basin, the Quilceda Creek sub-basin, the Eagle Creek sub-basin, and the March Creek sub-basin. These are in turn comprised of many minor basins such as the Prairie Creek and Kruger Creek sub- basins. The Edgecomb Creek sub-basin drains into the Quilceda Creek sub-basin of the Snohomish River system. A small tributary locally referred to as Indian Creek drains into the Eagle creek sub- basin. The remnant portions of March creek that remain exist outside of the UGA down in the Stillaguamish floodplain. All waters within the UGA eventually drain into Puget Sound, either draining directly into the Stillaguamish River or via Quilceda Creek then into the Snohomish River Estuary. The Stillaguamish River – is an important regional habitat for various piscine, mammalian, reptilian, amphibian, and avian fauna and aquatic flora. The Stillaguamish River and its conditions are directly linked to the upland uses that modify the historic hydrological cycles. The river is also very important to the economic vitality of the city through associated outdoor recreation activities. The river is used by boaters and fisherman throughout the year who utilize the entire Stillaguamish Valley, with Arlington being a key hub for those activities. Other important bodies of water include - Portage Creek, Prairie Creek, Kruger Creek, Quilceda Creek, Eagle Creek, and March Creek. There are also bodies of water outside of the UGA but with which the city is concerned as land uses in their vicinity may have impacts on the UGA. These include upstream and downstream reaches of the tributaries listed above and their associated drainage basins and wetlands. There are also numerous perennial and seasonal wetlands in the UGA. The surface water quality and quantity of riverine and riparian habitats in Arlington are in a state of recovery. Nevertheless, it is of importance that the river and other waterways be protected and managed to improve listed species population status and recover their functionality. Hazards Volcanic explosion/debris flow Glacier Peak, at 10,541 feet, is located roughly 45 air miles east of Arlington. Its most recent rumblings were about 6,000 years ago. During its most eruptive periods between 6,000 - 13,000 years ago, the debris caused by the eruptions flowed down the Stillaguamish channel to at least Arlington and I-5. Its biggest explosion was about 12,500 years ago, when it discharged debris 4 to 5 times as massive as the Mount St. Helens eruption in 1980. A volcanic explosion on Glacier Peak could send a huge mudflow/flood (lahar) Arlington PRMP Plan A-5 down the Stillaguamish Valley. A debris dam created by the first eruption caused the White Chuck and Suiattle Rivers to change course from the Stillaguamish to the Sauk at Darington. Flood hazards The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) show only one 100-year flood plain within Arlington, along the Stillaguamish River and defined by the toe of the slope of the plateau surrounding the Stillaguamish Valley (though there are some areas of the valley that are high enough to be out of the floodplain. Only small portions of the city limits extend into this area, as they are parts of parcels on the upper plateau. There is a large 110-acre portion referred to as Island Crossing that is in the 100-year floodplain. Not being listed on the FIRM does not mean that some of the smaller creeks running through the city also could not experience flooding during 100-year (or lesser or greater) storm events. Geologically hazardous areas Arlington contains areas of steep slopes, most notably along the two steps rising from the Stillaguamish floodplain. There are areas also subject to liquefaction including everything within the floodplain of the Stillaguamish River (including Island Crossing) rated as high potential, and everything on the second geologic tier (on which the airport and most of Arlington sits) rated as moderate potential. Arlington-area historical earthquake activity is significantly above Washington state average and 1157% greater than the overall US average. Tsunamis The potentially flooded areas would be most of the land below the 70-foot elevation contour line based on projections from both NOAA and Washington State Department of Natural Resources. The inundation zone would essentially be all the Stillaguamish Valley downstream of Arlington and the northern part of downtown Arlington. However, this estimate is now considered excessive and would most likely not be as severe as originally projected. Wildlife habitat Wildlife habitats are generally classified as marine, estuarine, freshwater, and terrestrial categories. Many wildlife species rely upon most, even all, of these habitat categories for survival. Arlington has 2 categories of wildlife habitat. Freshwater habitat Freshwater habitat include slakes, rivers, creeks, wetlands, riparian areas, and all other types of water bodies not included in estuaries or marine habitat that have a low ocean salt content. Freshwater habitats support different wildlife than saltwater systems, particularly species that depend on wetland vegetation. However, 87% of all wildlife and fish species are estimated to depend on streams, wetlands, or other freshwater bodies during some part of the species life cycle for drinking water, foraging, nesting, and migratory movements. Riparian areas - are the wooded or vegetated corridors located along rivers, streams, and springs. Riparian corridors possess free flowing water or moist conditions that support high water tables, certain soil characteristics, and vegetation that are transitional between freshwater and terrestrial habitat zones. The transitional edges are usually defined by a change in plant composition, relative plant abundance, and the end of high soil moisture content. Riparian corridors transport water, soil, plant seeds, and nutrients to downstream areas - and thereby serve as important migration routes for many wildlife species. Riparian areas, though small in overall size, are one of the most important sources of wildlife biodiversity in the landscape. Freshwater wetland habitats are water bodies less than 20 acres in size or less than 6 feet in depth and include marshes, swamps, bogs, seeps, wet meadows, shallow ponds, and lakes. A-6 Arlington PRMP Plan Like riparian areas, wetlands support species in great diversities, densities, and productivity. The wooded areas that are located adjacent to wetlands provide nesting areas, forage, and other cover that is critical to wetland-dependent species like most waterfowl or small mammals like beaver. Wetlands - there are 2 principal wetland types within Arlington:  Scrub/shrub wetlands - with seasonal flooding, characterized by hardhack, willow, red alder or red osier dogwood, and  Shallow marsh - deep marsh, and open water wetlands. Riparian and wetland vegetation provides significant food and cover for wildlife habitat. Generally, riparian zones and wetlands provide substantially more important wildlife habitat than forested areas. Riparian zones are also passageways for wildlife migrating between or around developed areas. Riparian vegetation also helps maintain optimum fish spawning conditions by providing shade, bank stabilization, a breeding ground for insects, and a source of organic material for the stream. Riparian zones are located along the undeveloped shoreline of the numerous creeks in Arlington, the numerous tributary streams within their drainage corridors, and the numerous ponds and wetlands. These areas are covered with riparian vegetation and should be considered important wildlife corridors. Wildlife species - freshwater zones support terrestrial and aquatic insects and resident and migratory fish species. Anadromous fish species include coho, chinook, chum salmon, and steelhead. Naturally occurring or established species include largemouth bass, brown bullheads, bluegill, and black crappie. Freshwater zones also support a variety of birds and mammals including salamanders, frogs, osprey, ducks, river otter, and beaver. Riparian and wetland vegetation provide significant food and cover for wildlife habitat. Generally, riparian zones and wetlands provide substantially more important wildlife habitat than forested areas. Riparian zones are also passageways for wildlife migrating between or around developed areas. Riparian vegetation also helps maintain optimum fish spawning conditions by providing shade, bank stabilization, a breeding ground for insects, and a source of organic material for the stream. Urban and agricultural developments have substantially reduced wildlife habitat through the years. However, valuable habitat qualities may remain in the undeveloped, large native vegetation tracts and around the remaining wetlands and riparian (streamside) forests of Portage, Prairie, Kruger, Quilceda, Eagle, and March Creeks, the numerous tributary streams within their drainage corridors, and the numerous ponds and wetlands. Wetlands and riparian zones may support muskrat, mink, otter, beaver, raccoon, and weasel. Water bodies, wetlands, and adjacent fields also provide suitable nesting and feeding habitat for mallard ducks, American widgeons, green-wing teal, common coot, common merganser, blue-wing teals and great blue heron, and lesser and greater Canadian goose. Fisheries – the lower reaches of some Arlington creeks that have not been affected by culverts and farmland drainage channels may provide freshwater habitat for species of anadromous fish, including steelhead, walleye, and salmon species, that live in saltwater but return to spawn in freshwater. These fish species have evolved over time to fit the specific characteristics of their stream of origin - and are uniquely imprinted compared with other members of the same species. Portage, Prairie, Kruger, Quilceda, Eagle, and March Creeks contain important habitat for several salmonid species. Fish use in the creek includes large numbers of early chum salmon, including an early-returning stock that the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) considers to be rare. In addition, the creeks Arlington PRMP Plan A-7 support significant numbers of late returning chum, coho salmon, and steelhead, sea run cutthroat trout, and resident cutthroat. Anadromous fish require cool, uncontaminated water with healthy streambeds and insect populations. Vegetated riparian areas maintain stream habitats by stabilizing water temperature, producing an insect supply, controlling erosion, and providing woody debris. These species spawn and rear in medium sized gravel beds that are provided medium velocity water flow along creek channels, swamps, marshes, perennial, and seasonal streams. Factors that have caused the diminishment of the wild runs include:  Forest clear-cutting and land developments - that create sediment loads increasing water turbidity and silting in gravel spawning beds.  Clear-cutting tree stands in riparian areas – that remove natural shading increasing water temperatures; and  Water diversions – including dams and dikes, that restrict access from the upper reaches and spawning areas of stream and river runs. The Washington Department of Fisheries & Wildlife (WDFW) and various Tribal Governments supplement the natural stocks to maintain river runs for most of these species. Terrestrial habitat Terrestrial habitat are the upland lands located above freshwater, estuarine, and marine water zones. The zones may extend from the level lowlands that border marsh or creek banks to the tops of the bluffs, hills, or foothills located around the Cascade Mountain range. Plants - natural plant communities are described in terms of broad patterns called vegetation zones. Washington plant communities are divided into 3 major vegetation groupings including:  Forests,  Grasslands and shrub/grass communities,  Timberline and alpine areas. The plateaus overlooking the Stillaguamish River include some forested vegetation zones. The zones are defined by the different climates created by different elevations and the distinctive vegetation type that becomes dominant in a climax forest after the forest has progressed through successive stages of natural development. The dominant species defined by the zone usually reproduces to maintain dominance until some disturbance, such as fire, alters the zone's environment. Deciduous tree species such as red alder (Alnus rubra) or big leaf maple (Acer macrophyllum) or golden chinkapin are generally dominant on the lands that have been cleared for urban and agriculture uses. Black cottonwood and Oregon ash, along with red alder and big-leaf maple, tend to grow along major water corridors. Portions of Arlington, particularly the wooded hillsides and ravines include several second growth lowland forested cover types including coniferous, deciduous, and mixed coniferous/deciduous forests. This forest type has marginal value as commercial timber or as unique vegetation. Most commercially important timber resources have been harvested, usually along with associated residential land development. Grasses, agricultural crops, and riparian vegetation cover the lowland areas of the creek drainage corridors - the latter prevalent along creek floodplains and at the edge of wetlands or open bodies of water. Deciduous hardwood trees including red alder, cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa), Oregon Ash (Fraxinus latifolia), willow (Salix sp.), and associated understory species are dominant within the wetland areas. Species - terrestrial zones support a variety of insects, amphibians, reptiles, lowland and upland birds, large, and small mammals. Some species, such as eagles, osprey, and murrelets, forage in other habitats but nest in upland locations in wooded areas in or near riparian zones. A-8 Arlington PRMP Plan Other species may forage in all the zones, particularly during the winter months, but retreat for night and seasonal cover into the upland wooded areas. Examples include a variety of game species such as pigeon, grouse, rabbit, and deer within the lowlands, and even bear and cougar in the Cascade foothills that occasionally migrate into the urban areas. Mature forested areas provide thermal cover during winter months allowing larger game mammals to forage up to 3,000 feet in elevation during normal winter season or 2,000 feet during especially harsh winters. Animals - urban and agricultural developments within the Arlington area have substantially reduced wildlife habitat through the years. However, valuable habitat qualities remain in undeveloped, large native vegetation tracts along the hillsides, and around the remaining wetlands and riparian (streamside) forests along Portage, Prairie, Kruger, Quilceda, Eagle, and March Creeks corridors. Wooded areas support a wide variety of large and small mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians. The most common mammals within the wooded areas include chipmunks, rabbits, marmots, skunks, and raccoons. A small number of larger mammals including black-tailed deer, coyote, and cougar likely occur at the edge of the upper reaches of the Cascade foothills where large contiguous forested areas remain though they can also migrate into the urban areas on occasion. Crows, jays, nuthatches, woodpeckers, sparrows, winter wrens, ruffled grouse, blue grouse, quail, band-tailed pigeon, turtle dove, pheasant, partridge, Merriam's turkey, owls, hawks, Osprey, and eagles can find suitable habitat for feeding and nesting in the upland forested areas, creek, and stream corridors. Many of these species can tolerate adjacent urban development so long as some habitat and connecting migration corridors remain undisturbed. Portions of Portage, Prairie, Kruger, Quilceda, Eagle, and March Creeks drainage corridors, the bottomlands, and other low-lying areas are now devoted to pastures and meadows with some woody vegetation, grasses, and wildflowers. These materials provide food for migratory waterfowl and deer, habitat for rodents and other small animals, and prey for predators like garter snakes, barn owls, red-tailed hawk, and fox. Large and rural contiguous parcels of land provide habitat for wildlife that compete successfully with other species in deeper cover, like birds and larger mammals like deer, bobcat, and possibly even bear at the upper most edges of the Cascade foothills. Important terrestrial habitat elements for these species include tall trees along the shoreline, mature forests with snags and fallen trees, and undisturbed mature forest near or surrounding wetlands. These habitat elements are primarily important to bird species that nest and perch in the trees, and to small mammals like beaver and river otter that rely upon an interface between the undisturbed terrestrial and aquatic areas. Other important habitats - migratory songbirds rely on the habitat provided by large, wooded areas. These species do not adapt well where clear-cutting practices or urban land developments have fragmented the forest habitat. Smaller wooded tracts are suitable for many plant and animal communities and may provide temporary cover for some species for foraging or migratory movement. Large parks and open spaces can serve as wildlife refuges in urban areas – including Country Charm Park. However, the number and diversity of species declines in direct relation to the size of the habitat and where the habitat has been isolated from other natural areas. The size and extent of the terrestrial habitat can be improved where natural migration corridors connect small tracts and large reserves. Natural migratory corridors enable species to colonize new areas, forage for food, find mates, and exchange genes with neighboring populations. Ideally, according to studies, successful wildlife migratory corridors should be at least 100 feet wide along streams with additional buffers about severe slopes and extensive wetland areas. Arlington PRMP Plan A-9 Wildlife habitat concerns Freshwater habitat Freshwater courses, particularly the Portage, Prairie, Kruger, Quilceda, Eagle, and March Creeks drainage tributary streams and Stillaguamish River bottomlands, have been altered by landfill or piped diversions, dikes, and channeling. Past development actions adjacent to urban areas, particularly the shorelines and waterfronts have filled valuable wetland habitat areas. The greatest risks to freshwater zones are contaminants that may enter the stormwater runoff from agriculture, septic failures, and other urban land uses. Water quality risks are also dramatically increased where land development or timber clear-cutting increases erosion and silt and/or clear vegetation within the riparian buffer along the freshwater corridor. Development activities most adversely affect the quality of freshwater habitat by removing vegetation, increasing silt, organic debris, and other stormwater contaminants that enter the natural drainage system. Generally, studies have determined that the hydrological balance of a stream begins to decline when 12% of the watershed becomes impervious. Terrestrial habitat Lands cleared for agriculture and urban land development have permanently lost considerable terrestrial habitat. Commercial forest management practices have replanted timber clear cuts with single species reducing wildlife diversity and isolating habitat and migration corridors, particularly along riparian areas. Fire-fighting practices, particularly of wildfires that would otherwise occur from natural forces, have reduced the amount and varying availability of meadowlands and other open areas necessary for foraging activities. The greatest risk to the terrestrial habitat, however, is the continued pace of commercial logging and urban land conversions - particularly land development patterns that block or demolish migration corridors, log timbered areas, remove riparian cover, erode productive topsoil, and introduce urban activities - potentially including intense recreational uses - into wildlife areas. Careless logging practices have often led to serious soil erosion and the degradation of slopes. As the most important habitats are isolated, the wildlife species declines in diversity and number. Urban tolerant species, like raccoons and crows, invade the remaining habitat from the urban edges, supplanting and driving out remaining native species. Unique and threatened species Endangered species (listed under the Endangered Species Act), Threatened and other notable species that are known to exist in the Arlington UGA include: Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) – (federal and state threatened) Formerly an Endangered Species, the Bald Eagle was removed from the ESA threatened list in 2007. It is still protected by the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act which does not create a land use restriction but prohibits possession or harm to it. Nests are known to exist at various locations on the main south fork and north fork Stillaguamish River. Several are found along the north shore of the Stillaguamish River near Dike Road. The Department of Wildlife has developed Bald Eagle Site Management Guidelines for use when reviewing proposed development projects. Property owners are responsible for preparing and implementing a habitat and nest management plan when a project falls within a management area. Bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) – a federally listed threatened species under the Endangered Species Act, bull trout have been identified using Arlington’s streams. These streams are identified on the Snohomish County ESA maps as “presumed habitat.” The presumed use would be only rearing or refuge, as Bull trout spawning is believed to occur in the upper reaches of the Stillaguamish watershed in the cooler headwater streams. Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tschawytscha) – are considered to use the Stillaguamish River, larger streams, side channels and A-10 Arlington PRMP Plan riverine wetlands rather than the smaller streams traveling through Arlington. Therefore, the areas of town that lay alongside the main stem and south fork Stillaguamish River are considered areas of Chinook usage. The majority of Chinook spawning occurs in the upstream areas but there are normally occasional redds found in lower areas of the river. A majority of the juvenile population travel downriver during the spring high flows to spend time growing in the highly productive estuary. A small percentage (5-8%) of the juveniles are considered riverine and will over-winter to head for the estuary as a one-year-old smolt. The current population of Chinook is around 1,400. Steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) – May 7, 2007, Puget Sound Steelhead were listed as Threatened under the Endangered Species Act. Steelhead are considered to use the Stillaguamish River, larger streams, side channels and potentially the streams in Arlington’s city limits. The National Marine Fisheries Service is beginning the development of a Steelhead Recovery Plan that will provide guidance to jurisdictions on how to participate in the recovery of the species. Steelhead are different than salmon in that they can return multiple times to spawn and move from freshwater to saltwater multiple times throughout their life span. A steelhead is like a bull trout due to physical ability and habits and may travel anywhere a coho salmon will travel. Land use implications Freshwater and terrestrial habitats contribute to the overall biological diversity of the region and provide a number of additional environmental functions and values of interest to Arlington residents. Many species depend on the constant interaction of all habitat systems for food, cover, nesting, and other survival requirements. Some plant, fish, and wildlife habitat have irretrievably been lost as the Arlington area developed and as the pace of development continues. These impacts can be minimized, however, by sensitive land use patterns, innovative design concepts, and performance- oriented development standards that:  Replant - native vegetation along Arlington creek shorelines and along tributary stream drainage corridors,  Remove - artificial shoreline constructions and freshwater impoundment or diversions,  Control - stormwater runoff content and quality that enters the natural drainage system and within the watershed in natural impoundment on-site where pollutants can be separated from natural drainage,  Cultivate - berry or fruit plants that support and retain native species, and  Cluster – roadways and other improvements to preserve natural shorelines and contiguous open spaces as common lands. Portions of the most critical remaining habitat, like mature shoreline trees, snags, and downed logs, if retained, can sometimes allow wildlife species to coexist in urban areas. The most effective preservation strategies, however, separate the most intense urban activities from the most sensitive habitats by creating woodland conservancies, open space corridors, and other protected areas. Where appropriate, the park, recreation, and open space plan should preserve and enhance the most critical and unique habitat areas by purchasing development rights or title for resource conservancy parks along Portage, Prairie, Kruger, Quilceda, Eagle, and March Creeks and the Stillaguamish River. Historical development Prehistoric setting The arrival of Indian groups in the Pacific Northwest cannot be dated with great precision. However, archaeological investigations at the Manis mastodon site near Sequim on the Olympic Peninsula indicate man was in the area as early as 12,000 years ago. Sea level rises approximately 5,000 years ago, however, may have inundated even older sites. Known sites have been grouped into the following broad time periods and cultural sequences: Arlington PRMP Plan A-11  Paleoindian - approximately 11,000+ BC consisting of highly mobile, small groups that subsisted on marine, shoreline, and terrestrial resources with stone, bone, antler, and perishable technological materials illustrated by Clovis points.  Archaic – 10,500-4,400 BC consisting of highly mobile small groups subsisting on marine, shoreline, and terrestrial resources with stone, bone, antler, and perishable technological materials illustrated by Olcott points.  Early Pacific – 4,400-1,800 BC consisting of increased sedentism in seasonal villages subsisting on shoreline resources, expanded marine resources harvesting camas and shellfish with an increase in ground stone, bone, antler, and perishable technological materials illustrated by Cascade points.  Middle Pacific – 1,800 BC - 500 AD consisting of winter villages of plank houses and seasonal camps subsisting on marine and riverine resources with food storage technologies with a decrease in stone tools, diversification of tools of bone, antler, perishable technological materials and canoes.  Late Pacific – 500 – 1775 AD consisting of large permanent villages and special use camps subsisting on specialized marine, riverine, and terrestrial resources with extensive food storage with very little stone tools. There are more than 5,000 Native American sites on record in the state, only a few of which have been professionally evaluated. Generally, sites are located at river conjunctions within valleys and along the shoreline. Native American history A large number of different Indian tribes and bands inhabited the Pacific Northwest region with varied lifestyles and different languages, dress, ceremonies, and adornments. Tribal characteristics are generally distinguished between the coastal tribes of western Washington and those of the interior. In general, the coastal tribes depended on the rivers and tidal waters for staple foods whereas the interior tribes relied more heavily upon plants and berries, as well as game and other animals. Native peoples are believed to have lived in the Puget Sound region some 6,000 years ago, their way of life essentially unchanged for hundreds of generations. The Puget Sound native peoples, including the Duwamish, Nisqually, Suquamish, and other tribes, were of the Coast Salish language group, part of the highly developed Northwest Coast Indians, one of the most sophisticated nonagricultural societies in the world. In contrast to nearly every other native group in North America, these people enjoyed freedom from want with:  An abundance and variety of food, including salmon, other fish, and shellfish.  Limitless quantities of building materials (principally cedar, which they were highly adept at fashioning into canoes, longhouses, and hundreds of other items).  Easily caught fur-bearing animals (providing skins for winter clothing).  A mild climate.  Ample leisure time.  Remarkable and enduring artwork.  Development of a status-based culture that included the distribution of surplus wealth (the "potlatch" ceremony) and the owning of slaves. The single most important source of sustenance—physical, spiritual, and artistic—for the Indians of Puget Sound was the salmon. Each year these fish return to Puget Sound rivers and streams by the millions to spawn and die at the source of their birth. The Indians took advantage of the spawning runs of several different species of salmon, devising ingenious methods of catching and drying these fish. Stillaguamish and Sauk-Suiattle Tribes Stillaguamish stems from the word meaning “river people”. The tribe lived in 29 villages, which were mainly on the Stillaguamish River but also on branches of the Skagit River to the north and the Snohomish River to the south. The Stillaguamish are closely related to the Snohomish, Sauk-Suiattles, and the Skagit. A-12 Arlington PRMP Plan The Stillaguamish hunted goats and traded the skins with other Indians in Victoria on lower Vancouver Island. They ate salmon and other seafoods, roots, and berries, Dogs, which they kept for their hair, were the measure of a woman’s wealth. The Sauk-Suiattles are descendants of peoples of the upper Skagit River. Because their homelands were near the Cascade Mountains along the Suiattle River, a tributary of the Sauk (which is a tributary of the Skagit), their subsistence patterns and dialect are different from those of the other Skagit peoples of the lower Skagit River and Puget Sound. They occupied 5 winter houses from the mouth of Sauk River upstream to Sauk Prairie, an important gathering place of several tribes. In summer, they lived further upstream. They hunted elk and traded with tribes from east of the Cascades. The Stillaguamish and Sauk peoples had prominent camps at the confluence of the two forks of the Stillaguamish River when they followed fish runs; the Stillaguamish named the campsite Skabalko. Arlington was later developed at this site. They also had a major village at Chuck-Kol-Che upriver near modern-day Trafton. Early settlement American exploration of the area began in 1851, when prospector Samuel Hancock was led by Indian guides on a canoe up the Stillaguamish River. The area was opened to logging after the signing of the Treaty of Point Elliott in 1855 between the United States government and the Stillaguamish tribe, who were relocated to trust lands and the Tulalip Indian Reservation. The US Army built a military road connecting Fort Steilacoom to Fort Bellingham, crossing the Stillaguamish River near the confluence. In the 1880s, wagon roads were constructed to this area from the towns of Marysville to the south and Silvana to the west, bringing entrepreneurs to the logging camps, informally named "The Forks". Two settlements were established on the south side of the confluence in anticipation of the Seattle, Lake Shore and Eastern Railway building a track through the area. G. Morris Haller, son of Colonel Granville O. Haller, founded a settlement on the banks of the Stillaguamish River in 1883, naming it "Haller City". The Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern (SLS&E) Railroad chose to build its depot on higher ground to the south of Haller City, leading contractors Earl & McLeod to establish a new town at the depot on March 15, 1890. The new town was named "Arlington" after Lord Henry Arlington, member of the cabinet of King Charles II of England. Arlington and Haller City were platted within a month of each other in 1890, quickly developing a rivalry that would continue for several years. Arlington and Haller City grew rapidly in their first years, reaching a combined population of 500 by 1893, relying on agriculture, dairy farming, and the manufacturing of wood shingles as the main sources of income. Both towns established schools, post offices, saloons, general stores, churches, social clubs, and hotels. The two towns were separated by a 40-acre tract claimed by two settlers in 1891, preventing either town from fully absorbing the other. During the late 1890s, the claim dispute was settled, and merchants began moving to the larger, more prosperous Arlington, signaling the end for Haller City. Today, Haller City is memorialized in the name of a park in downtown Arlington, as well as a middle school operated by the Arlington School District. Arlington was incorporated as a fourth-class city on May 20, 1903, including the remnants of Haller City (located north of modern-day Division Street). In the years following incorporation, Arlington gained a local bank, a cooperative creamery, a city park, a library, electricity, and telephone service. During the early 20th century, Arlington's largest employers remained shingle mills and sawmills. Other industries, including dairy processing, mechanical shops, stores, and factories, became prominent after World War I, during a period of growth for the city. The Great Depression of the 1930s forced all but one of the mills to close, causing unemployment to rise in Arlington and neighboring cities. Arlington PRMP Plan A-13 The federal government established a Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camp near Darington to create temporary jobs; the young men built structures and conducted firefighting in the Mount Baker National Forest. The Works Progress Administration (WPA) and Civil Works Administration (CWA) funded the construction of the city's sidewalks, a high school, and a municipal airport that opened in 1934. The entry of the United States into World War II brought the US Navy to Arlington, resulting in the conversion of the municipal airport into a naval air station in 1943. The Navy constructed new runways and hangars and, beginning in 1946, the municipal government was allowed to operate civilian and commercial services. Ownership of the airport was formally transferred from the federal government back to the city of Arlington in 1959. Current development Among the largest employers of Arlington residents are the Boeing Everett Factory and Naval Station Everett. The expansion of the aerospace industry in the Seattle region led Arlington to develop its municipal airport into an aerospace job center, which includes a high concentration of Boeing subcontractors. As of 2012, the airport had 130 on-site businesses that employed 590 people, with an annual economic output of $94,500,000. Aircraft manufacturer Glasair Aviation is based in Arlington, and Eviation Aircraft uses its Arlington hangars for assembly and testing of the Eviation Alice, an electric prototype model. Arlington plans on increasing the number of jobs within the city to over 20,000 by 2035, bolstered by the designation of the Cascade Industrial Center by the Puget Sound Regional Council in 2019. The industrial center, located between Marysville and Arlington near Smokey Point, already includes major distribution centers and other light industry. A 5-story Amazon distribution center is planned to be constructed near the airport at a cost of $355,000,000.

Interlocal agreements need to resolve equitable allocations with all potential users. The agreements could share use, operation, maintenance, and development funds. Arlington PRMP Plan C-1 Appendix C: Opportunities A valuable park, recreation, and open space system includes lands that may not be suitable for built uses and developed recreational facilities. These sites can typically provide unique preserves, habitats, cultural, and historical associations. A strategic approach may also include lands that are owned for other purposes, but that under some conditions may be used for park, recreation, and open space activities. Federal, state, county, utility, school, land trusts, private homeowner associations, and private commercial operators, for example, own or control a variety of strategically important sites with many kinds of physical and socially valuable parks, recreation, and open space characteristics. The following inventory defines other possible public and privately owned properties that could provide park, recreation, and open space opportunities. Environmental resources In 1990, the Washington State legislature adopted the Growth Management Act (GMA - Chapter 36.70A of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW)). The GMA defined critical environmental areas and resource lands to be lands or soils with characteristics that are not suitable for urban development, and in some instances, to any alteration without potential risk to the environment, ecology, public safety or other issues. GMA, and subsequent minimum guidelines published by the Washington State Department of Community, Trade, & Economic Development (WACTED), defined critical areas to include:  Wetlands,  Critical recharge zones for aquifers used for potable water,  Fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas,  Frequently flooded areas, and  Geologically hazardous areas. In addition, GMA/WACTED guidelines identified resource lands that were to be provided special consideration including productive and/or unique:  Agricultural lands,  Forests, and  Mineral lands. Critical area ordinances GMA required local jurisdictions that were affected by rapid population growth (including Arlington) to identify and adopt regulations to protect such areas. In accordance with the act's requirements, Snohomish County and subsequently the Arlington Community Development Department completed comprehensive inventories and analyses of critical areas in Arlington’s urban growth area. Subsequent city critical area ordinances and comprehensive plans define and locate lands and soils that are subject to environmental hazards. Implementing critical areas and zoning ordinances further define the land use and design or development performance standards that are appropriate to each type of risk condition thereby protecting sensitive environments. Environmental protection measures conserve sensitive environmental areas in conditions that are appropriate to the land or soil's character. For example, the protecting measures retain, enhance, and sometimes expand wetland functions and flood plains. Likewise, environmental protection measures conserve steep slopes in a wooded natural state, particularly slopes with hazardous seismic combinations of erodible soil, underlying bedrock, and subsurface drainage features. Open space potentials Environmentally sensitive lands or critical areas are not capable or suitable of being developed for urban and even some rural uses. These properties remain in private ownership, however, even though the critical environmental features are appropriately conserved. C-2 Arlington PRMP Plan Arlington PRMP Plan C-3 Most of these sites are privately owned - usually as productive properties providing buffer, aesthetic, passive, or other benefits to the developed parcels. Private property owners may develop suitable lands that adjoin sensitive environmental features for urban or other intensive land uses. Therefore, although these privately owned properties conserve permanent natural areas as open space features, the lands are frequently not accessible for public use. Critical areas constitute private but significant open spaces, wildlife habitats, conservation preserves, and scenic overlooks. These lands can enhance and should be incorporated as integral, but passive components of the land use pattern and public park system as greenways, greenbelts, and urban separators. Under some conditions, these private sites may be accessed with trails, exhibits, picnic facilities, water trails, and other suitable and more active park pursuits where the use benefits the property owner and/or where public access agreements can be negotiated. Other public facilities Various public agencies own a considerable number of facilities in the city. These facilities may be available for public use if a park and recreation activity does not interfere with the agency’s primary use of the facility.

These combined social and physical attributes provide a balanced dimension to the park and recreation experience.  Strategically important sites – are owned or controlled by nonprofit and private facility operators with most kinds of physical and socially valuable parks, recreational, and open space characteristics.  A quality park and recreation system does not have to be implemented strictly by public monies or purchase – but by the creative interplay of public and private market resources using a variety of techniques including leases, easements, tax incentives, design and development innovations, and enlightened private property interests. Future parks, recreation, and open space acquisition strategies may use traditional purchase options as well as cost effective alternatives.

We are being inundated with large construction using up the natural state of our area and yet nothing seems to be set aside for just simple family outings. I am very concerned that the area behind the Stillaguamish Athletic Club is going to be eliminated and could/would make a lovely area to allow families, workers, visitors to slip away into a natural setting. It would be an added feature for the Fly-ins and the draw that our airport has to others from other areas. Mostly, I just really think that all the construction needs to be balanced out with spaces set aside for outdoor activity. 10/11/2021 4:19 PM 28 Community Pool 10/11/2021 1:51 PM 29 Community Pool 10/11/2021 12:59 PM 30 Pickleball courts 10/11/2021 10:22 AM 31 YMCA 10/10/2021 8:31 PM 32 Covered play areas please (it rains a lot here).10/9/2021 1:11 PM 33 art in parks 10/9/2021 12:58 PM 34 Outdoor exercise equipment like the type in downtown Everett 10/7/2021 9:20 PM 35 Adding trash cans and more benches along Centennial Trail 10/7/2021 1:33 AM 36 There needs to be more parks/playgrounds in the Smokey Pointe/Airport Trail area.10/5/2021 5:37 PM 37 Municipal RV park 10/5/2021 1:40 PM 38 Adding any of these types of outdoor facilities would be great. The big problem with the existing ones (which I presume would end up being equally true for new facilities) is security. I have stopped going to any of these places because of the sketchy people that I see hanging out there who are panhandling (sometimes too aggressively) and/or using drugs. Additionally, you take your chances if you leave your car in the parking lot to go enjoy the park. One only has to visit the Arlington Facebook community pages to know that many people get their vehicles vandalized or stolen while they are enjoying the park. That’s sort of sucks the fun out of enjoying any sort of outdoor spaces. 10/5/2021 12:48 PM 39 Pools 10/4/2021 10:37 PM Arlington Parks & Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) Survey SurveyMonkey 12 / 50 40 Access to trails from neighborhoods.

Our community has a lot of outdoor options, it’s the indoor activities that are lacking during the winter/rainy months. Therefore parents go elsewhere. To other surrounding cities 10/11/2021 6:10 PM 13 As stated in previous comment, I would love to see a multi function, activity park that would have small meeting spaces, community garden, short walking paths, playground, picnic tables, etc. Something that could be enjoyed by a variety of individuals or groups. Like for all the businesses that are being built could take a short walk on a break or enjoy lunch outside at a table or where small celebrations of 50 or so people could be held with outdoor activity to be enjoyed as well. Again, something like Jennings Park is needed in Smokey Point. We are being swallowed up by concrete and businesses. The little York Park is sweet but how about expanding even that little park with the home next door for use, etc. 10/11/2021 4:19 PM 14 Community Pool 10/11/2021 1:51 PM 15 Community Pool 10/11/2021 12:59 PM 16 Sauna; childcare offered in conjunction with adult fitness spaces/classes—yoga with onsite childcare would be my ideal 10/8/2021 4:58 PM 17 Outdoor tennis court, pickle ball 10/5/2021 10:26 PM 18 plenty of private gyms/opportunities.

Answered: 139 Skipped: 149 #RESPONSES DATE 1 Mountain biking has become more and more popular. A pump track paved or dirt would benefit the youth in the area that don’t have the means to get out to the trails. Maybe a small single track. A good place where kids, people of all ages can hone their skills. This will attract people of all ages. 1/17/2022 6:12 PM 2 Yes, I would really like to see safety light telling cars their are pedestrians crossing road on centinal trial in town and especially the one by galleria park 12/9/2021 7:09 AM 3 I love the idea of an indoor playground or indoor waterpark, since it's always raining 12/7/2021 8:05 PM 4 Keep ALL ages in mind, not just children! Not everyone has children but would still like activities and things to do in the parks. Have some activities where children aren't welcome, I don't have kids and don't always have to be around them at a park 12/7/2021 8:59 AM 5 The skatepark needs to be upgraded. The concrete is failing, and there needs to be a covered section that can be utilized year round 12/7/2021 7:04 AM 6 Track, outdoor basketball hoops, soccer and/or football field would be nice near Weston High School and the new Amazon building 12/6/2021 9:21 PM 7 I believe more sports facilities are needed in North Snohomish county, specifically Arlington. Artificial turf for year round options is most needed. 12/6/2021 8:38 PM 8 Need more accommodating and accessible sites, services, and events for those with disabilities 12/5/2021 3:20 PM 9 I would prefer parks, recreation and open spaces that are within walking distance of Olympic.12/4/2021 6:42 PM 10 None 12/4/2021 6:42 PM 11 I filled out reasonings in the above other sections. Keeping the parks and trails safe from addicts/thieves would be nice too (along with the dog suggestions)....really want a community indoor pool and track. 12/4/2021 5:22 PM 12 I think there needs to be more of a community center where kids involved in all kinds of sports can go to to practice indoors. The outdoor faucet ilities for sports also need to be improved upon. And when making turf baseball AND softball fields, please make sure the mods for BOTH sports are measured at the correct distance (not the case at Quake). 12/3/2021 8:48 AM 13 I love the parks in Arlington! I moved here from Everett so living here is pure bliss!12/2/2021 11:06 PM 14 More play areas for children. Haller park is crowded.12/2/2021 9:20 PM 15 Big wants as a parent of 4 kids. 1.A community pool 2.a YMCA catering to basketball and volleyball spaces 3. community volleyball sand area or indoor court 4. Indoor walking track for our over 70 5. Indoor training facility that has Terf for football and other sports. This would give teens an outlet that is currently only available in Monroe or Bellevue at a high cost 12/2/2021 5:27 AM 16 quake field for older needs to be updated like lirtle league, young kids need healthy environments to hang with friends. itvrains so much here we need better indoor activity options in Arlington. 12/1/2021 10:48 PM 17 More youth sport opportunities, public tennis courts 12/1/2021 8:20 PM 18 Activity places for children under 18. Museums, inside play areas 12/1/2021 4:45 PM 19 Haller Park splash pads needs more seating for parents.11/30/2021 10:49 PM 20 A park and picnic area on Airport Rd by the new fire station would be nice.11/30/2021 7:23 PM Arlington Parks & Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) Survey SurveyMonkey 43 / 50 21 No 11/30/2021 4:43 PM 22 More place for farmers markets or similar indoor and outdoor. Support for small business with covered and outdoor eating areas and good patrol and area maintenance. 11/30/2021 11:53 AM 23 Plan for more secure parking areas. Theft and break-in is the biggest deterrent in enjoying parks and trails. 11/30/2021 11:23 AM 24 Dont waste money on play ground equipment that breaks easy or requires a lot of maintenance. Instead of sawdust replace with that bouncy solid rubber flooring. 11/30/2021 4:46 AM 25 Plant more trees please.11/29/2021 7:28 PM 26 Great job with our existing trails. Our family uses them often. The splash pad at Haller is awesome, perhaps the closing date could be pushed past Labor Day (the weather is great thru September) A public aquatic center would be great, we travel to Snohomish to use that facility, would be a great opportunity for our community. 11/29/2021 5:42 PM 27 Arlington is doing such a great job. I would love to see a bmx track, pump track, mountain bike park attractions. That is what me and my kids love. We also love soccer and could use turf fields to play year round. An indoor bike park would be awesome so we can do it year round. Love what you have done with downtown. Keep up the great work, Arlington rules! 11/29/2021 10:53 AM 28 Adult softball league 11/29/2021 9:10 AM 29 More dog friendly events with beer 11/28/2021 7:07 PM 30 We need an adapted playground, one that is more than a swing (the new addition at Haller Park). A playground for kids of all abilities- our school playgrounds lack this type of equipment and so do our city playgrounds. 11/28/2021 2:51 PM 31 An asphalt pump track would be a great addition to the Arlington area and attract local bikers and many from surrounding areas. Climbing walls would also be great for the cold wet winter months. 11/28/2021 1:16 PM 32 An asphalt pump track in the city would be amazing.11/28/2021 12:41 PM 33 Preventative homeless activities and growth of the mountain biking community.11/28/2021 11:45 AM 34 Pump track please 11/28/2021 8:14 AM 35 Yes more parks please,up on Arlington heights and along the stilly river thank you for the parks that we do have, much appreciated❤ 11/28/2021 7:04 AM 36 More music events, more street fairs, parks and rec programs for kids with weekend or evening options for working parents, summer movies in the park, indoor rec options like water park (like forest park), children’s museum, stem learning, gymnastics, dance etc. 11/28/2021 3:38 AM 37 Edible landscaping A place for kids to hangout roller skate, arcade, play basketball, have dance classes sponsored by the city. A indoor obstacle course for different ages 2-12. With a place for 0-2 moms/dads to watch the kids with walls that have activities for that age group. And floors with pads. Play basketball or wall ball. Dance play arcade games separately from the 13 and up. 11/26/2021 9:55 PM 38 I would love to see improvements to the twin rivers disc golf park. I feel if there was professional tee pads instead of dirt we could host top tier events/tournaments and bring more money into our community 11/26/2021 5:45 PM 39 The skatepark is in very rough shape and I grew up there. It means so much to all of us who use it. Any improvement to our city is appreciated though. 11/26/2021 4:33 PM 40 I really think outdoor sports are a fantastic way of bringing the community together. I ride at the skatepark by the memorial fields almost every day in the sunny seasons, love riding the centennial trail, and hanging out downtown Arlington. We’ve been making additions and keeping up on the area very well & I’m so happy to live in the city. Not much of a concern just a shout that I appreciate the way everything has been going! 11/26/2021 2:45 PM 41 Additions to the skatepark. Like revamping the street section, and adding a mini to the concrete pad hidden in the trees behind the Bill Quake sign. Maybe build a mini skatepark/pump track that is tied into centennial trail. 11/26/2021 1:51 PM Arlington Parks & Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) Survey SurveyMonkey 44 / 50 42 As long as Progressives stop building in and around Arlington, open spaces are welcome.11/26/2021 8:08 AM 43 Keep as much public land open as possible. Current parks are very good. Thanks for considering doing more. An aquatics center would be super great if you could pull it off. Any special help or places teens could recreate after school of similar would be great 11/26/2021 6:22 AM 44 I would love to see more dog friendly spaces in Arlington as well as an aquatic center. Our community has proved its interest in the splash park has been successful. An addition of a full aquatic center would benefit this area with many uses: swim lesson, aquatic fitness, open swim, lap swim, pool parties, etc. I envision a year round indoor/outdoor pool with a retractable roof to enjoy during the summer months. 11/25/2021 8:43 AM 45 More for kids to do. After school activities.. music in the park. It would be neat to have an arcade downtown for the kids. 11/24/2021 9:56 PM 46 More trees please 11/24/2021 6:31 PM 47 We need to have a community center and aquatic center. Lynnwood and Snohomish have lovely areas. We need to teach kids how to swim. 11/24/2021 6:10 AM 48 A bathroom at more of the parks 11/23/2021 10:19 PM 49 I would love to See tether ball ,sand volleyball, basketball,11/23/2021 8:52 AM 50 Parks in neglected Smokey Point! (The one you have is in a rough area, albeit good that it is there, and has no restrooms) We need something east of Smokey Point Boulevard, perhaps in conjunction with the airport(?) Tie development in with the Complete Streets development of SPBlvd. 11/22/2021 12:16 PM 51 More dog walking trails 11/22/2021 6:55 AM 52 .11/22/2021 5:54 AM 53 Stop with the wasting of money on Art. Need new and exciting play grounds for kids. Re- terracing terrace park was a waste. Develop a playground on the bottom. Division st is too busy for any type of concerts, especially with the new traffic increase from the condos being built. 11/21/2021 7:01 PM 54 I would like to see sidewalks all the way down 172nd Dr. My husband and daughter are legally blind and right now there are no sidewalks, no bus, and no dial a ride. It is very hard and dangerous for them to go anywhere on their own. 11/21/2021 12:34 PM 55 Would love to have some open ball fields and maybe even a space that is outdoors, but also a large covered area where people can stay out of the elements while still enjoying the outdoors. Also to ensure the areas remain safe and drug free 11/19/2021 9:10 PM 56 A YMCA and improvement to skate park, bike jumps would be great!11/19/2021 8:29 PM 57 Check out other countries. Especially okinawa Japan. Their parks are phenomenal and well kept. 11/19/2021 8:19 PM 58 We need dog parks. I also would like to see events where they will serve other items such as soda or lemonade instead of alcohol. Many people can't drink just alcohol and to not provide it on hot days is very inappropriate. 11/19/2021 8:17 PM 59 We have enough parks. We need to be able to maintain what we have in the lean times 11/19/2021 8:11 PM 60 Would love to see a kindermusik program in Arlington. Also, a drama program for kids.11/19/2021 10:45 AM 61 Thanks for asking. You are running out of spaces, but I wish the city would buy any undeveloped space in the city to put in mini-parks. They lift the spirit and add health and charm to the city. Would love a YMCA with a pool. We need meeting spaces for clubs that aren't expensive or free. Tennis courts would be great. Use the old high school for a community center. You could offer meeting rooms there, classes, lecctures, etc.. 11/19/2021 10:27 AM 62 We are relatively new residents of the Arlington area, are located outside city boundaries (Arlington Heights), but still consider Arlington our "hometown." We are learning the pace of Arlington life and events. Still, we are less interested than we could be about attending Arlington events, due to the lax enforcement of mask wear by large businesses in town and 11/19/2021 10:21 AM Arlington Parks & Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) Survey SurveyMonkey 45 / 50 during outside large events, as well as the numbers of customers allowed inside by businesses and restaurants. 63 Arlington is so pretty. Please create more beautiful parks with paved walking paths. People of all ages can use them. Would love something like Jennings park. Or just more walking paths for taking kids, adults, seniors on walks in nature. The trees and hills and mountains are so gorgeous in this area and the development of buildings around the airport area and 172nd is starting to block this. We would love to find more open walks with benches (and picnic tables) please. 11/9/2021 9:53 AM 64 Commend you on the renovation of Haller Park and the Splash Park, big hit. Would love to see more neighborhood parks in the 1, 2, and 3 areas. 11/7/2021 6:23 AM 65 We are absolutely in need of more recreation. Specifically swimming options (indoor or outdoor) and a bike track. Also, the skatepark is very outdated and not user friendly. It was created for really advanced skaters without options for people who are more casual or learning. 10/31/2021 1:17 PM 66 Path to Legion Park over railroad tracks, harder to cross West Ave to get to Main(Olympic) street and Park. Kind of wish railroad tracks ended south of park. 10/27/2021 9:43 AM 67 At York Memorial Park, the trail there has a trash can that is overflowing with all kinds of garbage. It is literally on the ground now and its disgusting. There is graffiti on the picnic tables, the benches should be repaired, the slides should be redone. Especially the small child slide, it's showing its age. All in all the park needs a new facelift. 10/24/2021 7:38 AM 68 None 10/22/2021 10:40 PM 69 More kids parks, with trails would be great.10/22/2021 1:39 PM 70 A covered multi-area play space would be great. I know so many people that go out of Arlington for pump track, might be a cool idea for all ages 10/21/2021 10:52 AM 71 York Park needs more maintenance, especially on the trail portion leading out of it. A garbage can has not been emptied in the old basketball hoop area since the beginning of summer and it's a hazard to walk by. There is also often broken glass on the trail from homeless or drug addicts hanging out and needles. 10/19/2021 7:19 AM 72 maintain natural areas along river 10/17/2021 8:58 PM 73 Yes, leave open spaces, it's getting built up to fast lately and over crowded.10/15/2021 11:03 PM 74 Continue improving and expanding splash park and it’s hours, equipment and amenities.10/15/2021 2:40 PM 75 I would love to see a mini park and community garden put in high clover it would be amazing for young kids to learn the value of growing their own food. Also there is so much space that doesn’t get used would love to see it utilized for something amazing like that 10/15/2021 9:11 AM 76 Involve the community as much as possible in planning, organizing, committing hours to help with projects, etc. People really love this community and want to be part of the process. Use the skills, talents and passion of the citizens, which are no cost. Pride of community is obvious here. Embrace it. 10/14/2021 4:02 PM 77 Preserve open nature spaces in town 10/13/2021 2:15 PM 78 Consider the seniors in the area. There are few active, engaging things to do here. I am considering leaving Arlington after so many years to move to where I can engage in art, music, fitness and outdoor activities. It becomes a rather non-stimulating environment. 10/12/2021 7:18 PM 79 It would be great to have some Adult Softball Fields. Open facilities for Adult Basketball & Volleyball. Outdoor and indoor pickleball courts. Fastest growing sport in USA. 10/12/2021 6:08 PM 80 I have many concerns about the parks here. There is NOT enough maintenance! There is too much garbage getting in creeks and other waterways. There is a huge mole problem here and nothing is being done about it! Holes and mounds of dirt instead of smooth ground and grass. Recently visited River Meadow Park and was appalled by the lack of care there! Dead trees, overgrowth of scrubs and holes in the ground all over the place! It’s shamefu!! The wildlife preserve near me is really strugglig. So much needs to be done here. It’s astounding to me how badly the waterways and preserves aren’t cared for! Really sad and depressing. Would like to think more care is coming in future. 10/12/2021 5:26 PM Arlington Parks & Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) Survey SurveyMonkey 46 / 50 81 Thinking out side the box, I would like the City to consider creating camping sites for tenting, trailer, motorhome recreation at the Country Charm Park. Many people can't afford to take deluxe vacations, and there needs to be more opportunity for them to recreate in their own back yard. If you are interesting in talking about this opportunity, I would enjoy visiting with you. Thanks, Denny 10/12/2021 12:54 PM 82 Arlington has done a wonderful job of creating and maintaining space for us to enjoy. These opportunities add to our physical and mental health as well as help connect people in the community. I love the trails, and all the parks. Seeing Haller transform has been absolutely amazing. Thank you! 10/12/2021 12:11 PM 83 I would like to see more events for kids in Arlington. The Haller park expansion and splash pad made such a beautiful impact for kids of many ages. I think kids have had to deal with such a major life change from the pandemic and focusing on events and activities to help them thrive in life and create positive community and social involvement is extremely important for our nations youth and future. 10/12/2021 10:00 AM 84 Land is disappearing super fast for business development. Buy or hold as many acres as possible now before the land is all built on. 10/11/2021 10:01 PM 85 We need to do more about the homelessness epidemic. It’s bleeding more into our city, and our children are being exposed to adult content. Any deterrent such as: Signs to not feed or give money to, fines to follow disobeying. We need to do more to protect our city from Seattle’s mismanagement. Our children are more important. 10/11/2021 6:10 PM 86 Arlington Proper has several areas already that are sufficient but York Park is the only community park in Smokey Point. Some housing developments have play equipment but they are not great AT ALL! Something that provides multiple activities like; playground, picnics, walking, sports, garden, indoor meeting spaces, with rooms, kitchen, etc. Again, I reference Jennings Park which has something for everyone and is spread out across many varying landscapes. Gardens, streams, woods, grass, playgrounds, barn, meeting space, Parks and Recs...Arlington/Smokey Point needs this. Lakewood area would also greatly benefit from something like this. I can't even remember all the times that my kids when they were little were invited to some activity at Jennings Park. We took art classes there as well. We should have the same! 10/11/2021 4:19 PM 87 YMCA larger boys and girls club, fields, parking. Community center with computers Community Pool for lessons, fun, school swim team 10/11/2021 1:51 PM 88 Boys and girls club and fields are too small for our community. We need more fields and indoor space for basketball, volleyball, etc. A community Pool, YMCA is needed. An off leash dog park. New play structure at terrace park. Fix the fence at terrace park. Bathroom st Jenson park 10/11/2021 12:59 PM 89 I would love to have a YMCA 10/10/2021 8:31 PM 90 Traffic. It’s the worst. Island crossing and the entire length of 172nd. Crown Ridge/ high school traffic. 10/10/2021 4:05 PM 91 More community garden options like the one on French street and a farmers market that features produce options from local farms. 10/10/2021 1:10 PM 92 We desperately need an indoor place in city limits for kids of all ages to play and hang out. Whether arcade, pool tables, jungle gym...we have mini golf and bowling here and nothing else for kids to do in the rainy months. There are plenty of trails and gyms and things for adults, but the kids need some sort of community play place. 10/9/2021 3:21 PM 93 Make it comfortable for parents to be at the playground and they will take their kids more often and let them play longer. I think comfort is mostly someplace to sit in the shade. Just one bench is not enough; people feel crowded when they have to share a bench with multiple families. 10/9/2021 1:11 PM 94 Should connect the various trails as much as possible and include bike lanes on all roads and streets. Add art elements to all parks. 10/9/2021 12:58 PM 95 I think a recreation center with swimming and other recreation would be a great addition to our town. 10/9/2021 12:24 PM 96 Would like a restroom open year-round at Haller Park and expansion of the Whitehorse Trail 10/8/2021 4:58 PM Arlington Parks & Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) Survey SurveyMonkey 47 / 50 97 more events to bring people to the down town merchants..like the street fairs and car shows .more home town parades. why not a three block halloween parade for kids. 10/8/2021 10:45 AM 98 More community programs and activities for adults. Love walking centennial trail daily but it is becoming dangerous and I have to carry pepper spray to protect myself from people who are in an altered headspace - sick on drugs. My dog and I have been chased, scared by people living in the bushes along the trail, picked up needles, and have called for help with unresponsive people on the trail (passed out). I would use Whitehorse trail more if it was safer but I never walk that trail alone. My neighborhood also has had a significant increase in crime and increase in people walking from Smokey Point to their homes in various brush locations. It is getting to the point that I am not sure it is safe to walk my dog alone on these community trails that I love! 10/8/2021 9:46 AM 99 no thanks 10/8/2021 7:57 AM 100 You desperately need to add parks in Smokey Point. The one by the freeway (York?) is okay at best, and there are no restroom facilities. The Quake is okay, but not all that accessible from Smokey Point. There would seem to be an opportunity to develop a park on the west side of the airport, east of Smokey Point Boulevard- perhaps near the new fire station?.An improved airport trail with restrooms would help, too. 10/8/2021 12:35 AM 101 The road next to the cemetery needs a proper sidewalk. And the cemetery needs its car/walk paths regraveled or just pave it to be rid of potholes. 10/7/2021 9:20 PM 102 Complete the centennial trail path to the one that goes through Darrington. Ya know the one just past the bridge and next to that arch with the earthquake thing? That’d be tight 10/7/2021 8:33 PM 103 We have traveled a lot recently, visiting small towns throughout washington state and I must say that most have had amazing parks full of people being active and having fun. I came home from the most recent trip thinking about how amazing the parks were and why aren’t ours? And Accessibility is nearly zero. We not only need better play equipment, but one or two pump tracks, another smaller scale skate park that’s appropriate for younger children and beginner/intermediate skill levels. A second splash pad would me amazing and fenced play areas are an absolute must for families with very young/multiple/neurodivergent children. Also, there are few accessible points to access the river. The only park that I can take my mother to sit by the river is at twin rivers and that can be a very small, very busy spot when the river is high. The other access points require being able to climb. Just a nice spot with a view and a few benches would be lovely 10/7/2021 8:24 PM 104 I suggest focusing on the children but also keep the city safe and keep the focus positive & forward thinking. 10/7/2021 6:36 PM 105 no 10/7/2021 4:20 PM 106 We would frequent a covered playground. With how much it rains around here it would be nice to have a huge covered area for the kids to run and play while it’s raining. 10/7/2021 12:55 PM 107 We are an outdoor family and use the parks and trails in Arlington a lot. Thank you for wanting to expand our parks and rec! My ideas: 1. There are no parks north of Haller Park (that I know of). I think a playground up north would be WONDERFUL!! Maybe at the Bryant trailhead of the centennial trail?!! 2. Haller Park needs more shade around the splash pad, either by trees or other source during the summer. (I’ve seen shades during the summer around the playground at kayak point). 3. Haller Park needs more picnic tables and benches around the playground. They are all taken on warm days or weekends. 4. On many moms groups based in Snohomish county, moms are looking for a park that has both bathrooms and fully fenced playground. Moms that have lots of kids, or twins, or special needs kids want to go to a playground that they feel safe taking their kids. NO public park in Snohomish county has both a fenced playground and a bathroom. You could bring in families from all over with this type of park!! Arlington would be amazing if they could offer something like this to families with special needs!!!! 5. We used to live in Marysville for a few years. There parks and rec activity options were SO nice. We live too far away to continue with their activities, but would definitely participate in Arlington activities! Especially kids education, sports, and nature study type classes. 6. I have emailed arlington parks a few times the past 5ish years, and have never gotten a reply. I wish there was a better way to communicate with the city with my thanks, comments, and concerns. Thank you for offering this survey!!! 10/7/2021 12:39 PM 108 As a new resident, I typed a list of all the parks and trails on this survey as a resource. I didn't know there were so many. 10/7/2021 9:11 AM Arlington Parks & Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) Survey SurveyMonkey 48 / 50 109 We LOVE the lights on the trees on Olympic Ave! Thank you for doing that. We hope you will continue to maintain them. Also thank you for the big tree lit up in Legion Park at Christmas time, and for all the activities sponsored throughout the year. Please add some more trash cans and benches along the Centennial Trail, at least in town. 10/7/2021 1:33 AM 110 No 10/6/2021 6:47 PM 111 Would love to see more kids sports programs in Arlington as well as maybe turn the Airport park into a large park for kids similar to Haller and Jennings in Marysville. There are no nice parks really for those of us in Smokey Point. 10/6/2021 1:29 PM 112 More bicycle paths or bicycle lanes to connect neighborhoods to Centennial Trail and Major Retail/Commerce corridors. 10/6/2021 1:09 PM 113 More sidewalks or trails around Arlington.10/6/2021 10:53 AM 114 We lost a great, often-used informal park to the new business park on 172nd and Airport Blvd. It was a huge loss for us. 10/6/2021 10:41 AM 115 After the heatwave that the Pacific Northwest experienced this summer, and the deaths that occurred in the homeless population, I would love to support an organization that provides resources to the homeless. If there are already programs or organizations for these folks, I think that it would be helpful to share this information on a broader scale. 10/6/2021 10:28 AM 116 More cooperation and cross promotion with Senior Center (Stilly Valley Center) and Stilly Valley Health Connections. The Stilly Valley Center could use more City financial support and promotion of its programs. 10/6/2021 9:48 AM 117 Smokey Point and new high rise development need parks, walking trails and playgrounds that are accessible to the residents living in those areas. 10/5/2021 11:23 PM 118 Keep open space. Developing Arlington so tourists come is not serving the community needs. What really is the point of this survey. Schools/ the library should provide media and education needs, not Parks and Rec , 10/5/2021 10:26 PM 119 Would love to see Country Charm Dairy park completed! It is a family favorite and has so much potential! I think that we could also benefit from more garbage cans in Arlington, especially if we are talking about growth 10/5/2021 10:11 PM 120 Continue to focus on keeping it small and the same, I would hate to see it too blown with big buildings- I’m all for more parks/ recreation areas and open spaces! 10/5/2021 7:33 PM 121 Not yet. So far we love it here!10/5/2021 7:20 PM 122 A community park in Smokey Point would be nice for the neighborhoods of that area, also as a civic space near the business center of Smokey Point. 10/5/2021 5:52 PM 123 We need a large Recreation Center with facilities for a variety of Recreational needs and interests. 10/5/2021 5:52 PM 124 We would love to see kids sports programs through the city! Soccer, basketball, baseball, etc. We have two toddlers who would love to be involved in local sports! 10/5/2021 5:03 PM 125 If Mayor Barb wasn't the Mayor of Arlington then it would be a Great City but since she the Mayor she is running Arlington into a Shit Hole just like the guy Communist Dictator Dicklee from where she gets her orders from... Impeach Mayor Barb 10/5/2021 4:28 PM 126 Love the walking trails. Nice to have convenient restrooms available.10/5/2021 4:27 PM 127 Linkage: Make it easier to get from one park or "node" to another by foot or cycle. Cemetery Road is a bottleneck through the unincorporated portion where there are no sidewalks, bikeways or walkable shoulders. Dangerous to walk or bike from High Clover to downtown. 10/5/2021 1:40 PM 128 Take into consideration what City of Renton has achieved in their parks and recreation. They have a central building that houses so many wonderful classes and events. 10/5/2021 12:58 PM 129 none. i think the city has really done a great service of taking care of our local parks since i moved here 32yrs ago. 10/5/2021 12:49 PM 130 Yes, please make all facilities safe for people to visit.10/5/2021 12:48 PM Arlington Parks & Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) Survey SurveyMonkey 49 / 50 131 Lots of open space in and around the airport! any chance of developing a portion of the unused airport property into a park? 10/5/2021 12:38 PM 132 Child focused indoor recreation areas covered spaces and public security. I appriciate the Arlington splash park. It is public free and safe considering the community involvement. Also it is clean and free of garbage drug paraphernalia and loitering. 10/5/2021 10:10 AM 133 Pools, summer camps, childcare, classes 10/4/2021 10:37 PM 134 make it easily accessible. people who live in Glen Eagle can go to the bottom of their hill but it is high risk with so many driveways. People want to get out of their neighborhoods and get on the trails. (all the housing developments in area 3) If there was access COMPLETELY down 172nd, people from east of hwy 9 would go down on bikes or run and hit the trail. instead we have to drive. it's less convenient. the new section of entry to the centennial trail at the top of Getchell is the greatest idea for access. Arlington should be creative like that. 10/4/2021 9:31 PM 135 We would be at the climbing wall every day if there was one. An indoor community pool as well. 10/4/2021 8:16 PM 136 Airport trail needs to be safer 10/4/2021 6:43 PM 137 I appreciate the maintenance along the Centennial Trail. It is also nice when maintenance notices large indents in the trail, and marks those with the white spray paint. This makes avoiding them much easier. I also loved seeing the splash park used this year! This was a great addition to our town. 10/4/2021 5:40 PM 138 I think Arlington does a Greta job with the parks it has!10/4/2021 5:19 PM 139 Sidewalks (Smokey point blvd) to get to the parks and open spaces !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!10/4/2021 4:41 PM 50 / 50 Arlington Parks & Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) Plan Priorities Survey SurveyMonkey 1 / 58 Q1 Using the map above, what is the estimated walking time to and name of the park closest to your residence?

While I am sympathetic to the homeless community, it really takes away the feeling of safety to have them camping on the walking trails by the river as it is very isolated. Females with young children are often concerned. Not asking for anyone to be removed but hope that law enforcement is aware of who is down there and remove anyone who was a potential danger. Also, I would say that I see a lot of likely drug deals going on in that parking lot or people stopping to get high.. 2/26/2022 9:21 PM 236 Wedgewood 2/26/2022 6:55 PM 237 Portage Creek 2/26/2022 6:53

The availability to get lines on fields for sports is hard if it’s not soccer or football. Lacrosse is much needed and getting larger in our area. The fields we play on havi mg to be combined with all other sports takes it toll on the fields. We need to consider more terf fields. We also need to take in more consideration that all sports should be able to be lined for fields they need. Especially for the student athletes on school property.

It is not needed as a park for the city. 3/12/2022 11:15 AM 24 I use the trails around the airport for walking.3/11/2022 7:16 PM 25 There are no parks in smokey point area that have restrooms or picnic shelters 3/11/2022 4:58 PM 26 another park is smokey point would be so valuable 3/11/2022 1:29 PM 27 I'm an older adult, so it doesn't bother me, but I see that there aren't decent or adequate playground items for children 3/11/2022 1:02 PM 28 We just moved in but we’ve loved the walking trails but the actual parks by us aren’t very big and wish they had more to do on them. 3/11/2022 12:31 PM 29 Its understood that the maintenance crew is doing the best they can maintaining the existing parks - however in order to add more parks of high quality to the city, it is necessary that more staff get added to the city teams. Please consider this before making promises to improve and make more parks available to the community. 3/11/2022 12:31 PM 30 I value the centennial trail and the parks adjacent to it!! I'm an avid bike rider!!3/11/2022 12:29 PM 31 Haller Park is our favorite. We rarely go to others because they aren't as family friendly.3/11/2022 8:33 AM 32 Would be nice if there was a restroom there.3/10/2022 6:42 PM 33 While river meadows is close as the crow flies there is no way to get to it from our house without driving a half hour around. It could use a bridge. There’s nearly no parks near Burn Road. 3/10/2022 5:51 PM 34 The bathrooms and water always seem to not be open 3/10/2022 10:02 AM 35 Benches need maintenance and some parks still need to be built after 10+ years!3/10/2022 9:02 AM Arlington Parks & Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) Plan Priorities Survey SurveyMonkey 16 / 58 36 Would like to see turf fields somewhere in Arlington. Maybe joining with the school district and turf the field at Haller. 3/9/2022 4:45 PM 37 I’ve found it difficult to find parks. Signage could be improved.3/9/2022 8:40 AM 38 Overall we could use more sport courts and field turf fields. Tennis and pickle ball courts would awesome. Extra field turf fields besides the school would be nice. 3/8/2022 9:45 PM 39 Our big desire is better bike lanes on some of the county roads! Stanwood Bryant, Kackman etc. The parks are nice though,! 3/8/2022 3:48 PM 40 Arlington has several small spaces to explore sure, however the parks suck! Haller is the only one available that has ok parking and new safe equipment. There is no other option and most people MUST drive there. I hate the park choices on this town, very limited inventory!!! 3/8/2022 1:26 PM 41 Start making the parks safer for families 3/8/2022 11:12 AM 42 The parking and the restrooms need great improvement in most of the parks 3/8/2022 6:10 AM 43 Park 31 could be better maintained. The grass can be waste high at times. This may be a county park. It has the potential to be something really special. 3/8/2022 6:03 AM 44 Too many drug dealers and drug addicts at the parks closest to me.3/7/2022 8:26 PM 45 Some of the parks could use a little more "love"3/6/2022 3:44 PM 46 They should be clean and in working order at all times 3/4/2022 9:51 PM 47 Need more Pickleball courts 3/4/2022 3:25 PM 48 They recently started updating the park close to us but I still wouldn’t feel safe letting my child hang out there without my supervision 3/4/2022 2:02 PM 49 Have seen improvements 3/4/2022 1:32 PM 50 Haller Park really needs more shade near the playground and spray park in the summer, and the parking lot and restrooms need a bit more maintenance. 3/4/2022 1:23 PM 51 The forest connected to Forest Park could be included in the park or become an off lease dog park. 3/4/2022 11:57 AM 52 Mostly just green areas.3/4/2022 8:50 AM 53 Arlington has failed to add large space parks which are sorely needed. I am seeing high density housing going up on the corner of 172nd and 67th, and it does not appear there is any park, open space or even a play area associated with this construction. So families will move there and children have no place to play. The busy road and sound of traffic will be what they see from their window. It is concerning that this type of construction, known to be so very difficult for people's well being, is allowed. 3/4/2022 8:22 AM 54 need park at Smokey Point 3/4/2022 8:18 AM 55 I am actually impressed with how many choices there are. But the quality really varies with some quiet nice and others looking tired. 3/3/2022 9:27 PM 56 A lot of the parks have an increase in illegal activity. It is difficult to feel safe at times.3/3/2022 7:32 AM 57 Very well maintained 3/3/2022 6:47 AM 58 I would love more trails 3/2/2022 9:43 PM 59 Any sort of walking or running paths are not safe when we have to cross streets. Especially 67th. We have almost been hit by cars multiple times trying to walk to the airport from glen eagle. Big trucks, people speeding. It’s not good. More housing means more pedestrians and there will be more loss of life if something isn’t done to improve walkability conditions. 3/2/2022 7:23 PM 60 some park facilities need updating; gazebos shelters. Some like Terrace is dark and has become a hang out, and seems to becoming trashy. 3/2/2022 5:34 PM 61 An indoor pool would be great for kiddo to learn how to swim, basketball courts would be nice, just more activities for kids in general would be nice, there's nothing around here. Thanks! 3/2/2022 6:05 AM Arlington Parks & Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) Plan Priorities Survey SurveyMonkey 17 / 58 62 We need better playgrounds and picnic facilities. We would love undercover play areas and toddler specific play areas. 3/1/2022 8:38 AM 63 I never use the parks or trails, just a restroom when driving around, if needed 3/1/2022 7:53 AM 64 I wish we had trees to shade us from the hot heat in the summertime 3/1/2022 12:09 AM 65 Some great-Haller, more day access bathrooms along trails needed 2/28/2022 8:01 PM 66 Better restrooms 2/28/2022 6:58 PM 67 We need more benches and tables. They are always all filled on warm days!2/28/2022 3:00 PM 68 Would Love To See a park geared towards teens, bigger swings that they can fit in, bigger slides, etc. 2/28/2022 10:37 AM 69 The parks are definitely improving in town, bathrooms could use some work, and safety from aggressive kids, homeless, and people needs to be monitored more. The worry of my kids coming across needle is very strong as well. 2/28/2022 7:31 AM 70 Need bathrooms at Jensen Park (ports potty is in front of handicap space!) and accessible playground options 2/27/2022 6:40 PM 71 Need basketball hoops there enough room at most parks 2/27/2022 3:45 PM 72 I would like to see more bathrooms and some events and fun things for kiddos. Especially some new things for babies 2/27/2022 2:37 PM 73 There seem to be more small playgrounds that kids get board on vs larger ones.2/27/2022 8:47 AM 74 The play equipment is lame. There’s only 1 park in Arlington that has suffice entertaining play equipment and that park isn’t easily accessible for residents that don’t live downtown. 2/27/2022 8:34 AM 75 Many of the parks outside of downtown are neglected.2/26/2022 9:33 PM 76 For people with health issues where they need a bathroom it is not always easy to find one 2/26/2022 9:33 PM 77 Would love to see benches or better yet picnic tables in areas that don't have them. Portage creek for example. Stopping for a break from walking is essential with young kids or those those with disabilities (and need the exercise the most). 2/26/2022 9:21 PM 78 This is confusing. Is this asking how I rate the priority of addressing location, quantity, and quality or how I currently rate these aspects of the parks? 2/26/2022 6:55 PM 79 Bathrooms at Haller park need a longer open season for families!2/26/2022 4:58 PM 80 I wish more special needs options 2/26/2022 4:27 PM 81 I would love to see more parks such as Jennings Marysville park for families. Conserving wildlife and creating walking trails. My family and I used to live near North Creek Trails in Bothell I’d Love.. to see Arlington create more parks such as this with playgrounds. 2/26/2022 4:11 PM 82 Arlington really does go above and beyond when it comes to parks 2/26/2022 3:32 PM 83 Lacking in Smokey point a good park 2/26/2022 11:22 AM 84 Well maintained parks and walking area, we don't have any by where I live 2/26/2022 10:39 AM 85 I’m too stressed by overcrowding, traffic jams and no grocery options (as haggen sits empty)2/26/2022 8:13 AM 86 Country Charm Park is sure sadly a wasted resource, so much potential. I didn't know there was a park 67 & Cemetery 2/26/2022 1:19 AM 87 We especially appreciate the improvements to Haller park. That was one we had stopped going to before due to drug use and the homeless population 2/25/2022 11:01 PM 88 Would be better if we could reduce drug activity and homelessness.2/25/2022 7:41 PM 89 There any not any city parks near my house. To get to any my kids would have to go in the hwy or down steep stairs 2/25/2022 7:40 AM 90 We could use more shelters and lighting 2/25/2022 6:38 AM Arlington Parks & Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) Plan Priorities Survey SurveyMonkey 18 / 58 91 Grafitti 2/22/2022 8:47 PM 92 The York Memorial Park toddler play equipment is in need of replacement. Haller Park and Jensen are fantastic and in good shape. 2/22/2022 9:01 AM 93 Haller Park is a great park. Would love more like it.2/20/2022 9:25 PM 94 There are no parks within walking distance, I am rating them lowest in showing that there are none; this survey is confusing, I am not rating them lowest in priority, I think that should all be highest priority , right now I think they are either nonexistent in my area or low quality; again this survey is worded strangely 2/20/2022 5:16 PM 95 No dogs allowed. No shelters. Few sitting areas.2/20/2022 12:16 AM 96 We need car wash and decent. Grocery store not more people,parks and apts,hate this 2/19/2022 10:28 PM 97 It’s ridiculous that land is being used for building - we need more trails and parks.2/19/2022 9:00 PM 98 I am lucky to live near the biggest and best parks.2/19/2022 9:35 AM 99 More sports courts for kids to play on during non school days 2/18/2022 10:48 PM 100 I looked up the closest 3 to my home and 1 is open but just a grass area, one is permanently closed and the third is temporarily closed. 2/18/2022 8:40 PM 101 More events at terrace park would be nice.2/18/2022 2:16 PM 102 Terrace park could use some upgraded equipment but please don't remove the old merry go round. The new merry go rounds are terrible in comparison (like the one in Haller park, it sucks) 2/18/2022 2:14 PM 103 Parks with restrooms needed in Smokey Point. The rub is how to keep them from getting messed up by vandals &/or homeless 2/18/2022 1:59 PM 104 I miss not having access to Portage Creek Wildlife Sanctuary off of Cemetary Rd. It was wonderful when we used to be able to walk to it from our home in Zone 1. 2/18/2022 1:47 PM 105 School District discourages (or flat out doesn't allow) use of their grounds for public use.2/18/2022 12:43 PM 106 Would be nice to have more in Smokey Point area 2/18/2022 11:07 AM 107 I would like to see more diversity in playground equipment like exsists at Haller Park 2/18/2022 11:05 AM 108 Difficultly finding parking and the over flow of cars on 530 is a major challenge during the summer. 2/18/2022 9:49 AM 109 The Parks Department is incredibly understaffed and it is impossible for them to be able to keep up with demands on this city. Parks don't create revenue, but they create community and family. We can't let those values fall by the wayside. As the city constantly grows up (literally...the constant addition of multi-story residential buildings is staggering), we have to remember that the city has an obligation to provide safe, clean, and well cared for park areas. 2/18/2022 7:45 AM 110 Overall very clean and well kept! Love the various trees and lights for Christmas and summer nights in the gazebo. 2/17/2022 6:21 PM 111 I’m sad and angry about the condition of some of the parks here. Dead trees, overgrown vines and brush. Holes in the ground that are dangerous if stepped in. Probably made by moles and there’s a huge mole problem all over my area. It’s getting worse! 2/17/2022 4:40 PM 112 Keep up the great work, I feel that people don't realize how beneficial parks and trails are, even when they use them already, But the more people realize these benefits, the more people will utilize the parks, trails, etc. Thanks! 2/17/2022 4:23 PM 113 Not sure I can speak to the quality as I have not been in a great amount of the parks.2/17/2022 4:17 PM 114 too many drug addicts, i got mugged one time 2/17/2022 4:16 PM 115 It would help if the restrooms were open 2/17/2022 3:46 PM 116 Overall I think Arlington has done wonderfully with their parks. My main complaint is I no longer use the Centennial trail south of 204th, due to the Marijuana processing plant. That smoking and vaping isn't allowed in parks is great, but useless if drug processors are allowed to fill the air by parks with the substances because they aren't on park property. 2/17/2022 1:13 PM Arlington Parks & Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) Plan Priorities Survey SurveyMonkey 19 / 58 117 Airport Blvd and the trail around the airport are nearby but not listed above; no amenities 2/17/2022 1:00 PM 118 Smokey Point is lacking in resources for young families as far as recreation and safety.2/17/2022 12:10 PM 119 The bathrooms are always dark feeling, not enough light especially at River Meadows 2/17/2022 9:54 AM 120 Terrace Park needs loving care.2/17/2022 7:05 AM 121 I live within city limits and one of the biggest perks is the many parks available to our family.2/16/2022 7:53 PM 122 All parks but one have boring play structures and are un-inviting to children older than 6.2/16/2022 7:13 PM 123 Hoping the quality could be a bit better, not picking up windfall from trees or repairs to terrace park 2/16/2022 6:33 PM 124 We have a great selection spread throughout Arlington and do not need more. We need to concentrate on what we have 2/16/2022 5:36 PM 125 you did not list airport trail 2/16/2022 4:25 PM 126 There is one park within walking distance from me. It is the size of two residential yards. It is used by drug users and criminal activity, thanks to lack of concern by the city. 2/16/2022 12:02 PM 127 Parks in our area need improvement 2/15/2022 8:15 PM 128 The park closest to us need some work, on the play place and to the landscaping 2/15/2022 6:12 PM 129 Grounds are not maintained enough. brush and berry bushes are over growing. I have replaced net twice over five years and the backboard on the basketball court needs to be re furbished. 2/15/2022 6:11 PM 130 The closest park that provides, large area of enjoyment for all ages is Twin Rivers Park. We live very close to the Airport Trail and would love to see the woods closest to Stillaguamish Athletic Center user for a park for all ages. An Ideal location would be adjacent to the new Fire Staion. Currnently our natural areas are being taken over by office complexes/light industrial and of course the HUGE Amazon facility. This has already had an impact on the Airport walking trail. 2/15/2022 4:36 PM 131 There have been several homeless encounters with them using curse words at my young children. 2/15/2022 4:27 PM 132 I would like more trails, easier access to them 2/15/2022 3:29 PM 133 No parks close enough to enjoy.2/15/2022 3:18 PM 134 Unsafe to walk along or cross Smokey Point 2/15/2022 3:11 PM 135 Haller Park is a great park. I grew up across the street from it and have many wonderful memories. Thanks for adding the "Splash Park" I think that was a wonderful idea for the kids. 2/15/2022 2:13 PM 136 Haller park is great, wish other parks were as nice.2/15/2022 2:08 PM 137 The park near me (Woodway) doesn't have much, I don't know why it even exists.2/15/2022 1:44 PM 138 The teams and families do a good job of cleaning up after their games!!!2/15/2022 1:44 PM 139 need park at Smokey Point 2/15/2022 12:44 PM 140 Jack & I are new to the quaint little town of Arlington Wa and very impressed with the facilities and development of the town . 2/14/2022 6:12 PM 141 I don't understand this question. I think the parks could do better 2/14/2022 3:52 PM 142 No Parking on the lower or northside of Terrace Park, people visiting the lower part of the park often park in the street interfering with traffic on east division street. 2/14/2022 3:46 PM 143 I wonder if something like this https://grassmatsusa.com/reusable-lawn-protection/ could be used in Legion Park. 2/14/2022 1:22 PM 144 Would like to see more emphasis on maintaining existing facilities. The fence around Terrace Park has needed repairs for several years. 2/14/2022 11:46 AM Arlington Parks & Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) Plan Priorities Survey SurveyMonkey 20 / 58 Q3 CONSERVE AND ENHANCE CREEK CORRIDORS - under the proposed plan, the city could conserve and enhance corridors along Eagle, Prairie, Kruger, Edgecomb, Portage, March, and Quilceda Creeks including some that are and will remain privately owned.

We have beautiful creeks running though our city, Portage creek is important to me. 3/3/2022 9:35 AM 23 It is important to remove invasive species, especially around the waterways where it directly effects salmon spawning. 3/2/2022 5:34 PM 24 I like having wildlife areas for the actual wildlife. Humans are the invasive species.3/1/2022 7:53 AM 25 Let's not worry about that right now 3/1/2022 12:09 AM 26 Absolutely important. Let’s protect our environment.

And I remember the salmon coming up through the creeks in Gleneagle. We learned a lot about the importance of our natural environment and the ecosystems that compose it in the K-12 School system. Some day I'd hope that my future kids could have the same experience, literally getting to see the salmon run through their home neighborhood. 2/18/2022 11:54 AM 44 If this is to help the environment, than that is important, but if it is just for cosmetics, it is low priority 2/18/2022 10:22 AM Arlington Parks & Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) Plan Priorities Survey SurveyMonkey 22 / 58 45 The homeless live in the over growth by our house. We won't walk through the trail by the creek. 2/17/2022 9:08 PM 46 Very important! Also important to mitigate/control litter in the area to make sure the above efforts are worthwhile. 2/17/2022 6:21 PM 47 Absolutely needed and long overdue!! What about Stillaguamish Ave? So much trash and overgrowth along this street. Trash near creek will ultimately find its way into creek and twin ponds.

Transients and youth will ruin these areas if they are allowed to. Patrol, cite those who violate rules/vandalize and this could be a great idea. 3/23/2022 10:46 PM 3 Unless patrolled, this will attract homeless and/or drugs/crime 3/23/2022 3:54 PM 4 Concern that this would attract increased amount of vagrants and substance abusers to congregate in these areas 3/23/2022 3:13 PM 5 Vandalism is a concern 3/22/2022 7:03 AM 6 yes 3/20/2022 7:50 PM 7 Homeless people will just turn them into a shelter or encampment.3/20/2022 4:45 PM 8 I love the wetlands storm park. Something should be done to attract more people.3/19/2022 6:34 PM 9 I honestly feel tat this could be a waste of funds as it seems that most have picnic tables. Possibly adding picnic tables to those that do not have them. 3/18/2022 1:48 PM 10 As long as it is done in way that will not encourage homeless gatherings 3/18/2022 10:35 AM 11 How would the city be capable of providing good maintenance to the new things with no new hires 3/15/2022 9:50 AM 12 Our city and county currently have the largest problem with drug use/homeless that I have seen here in the past 30 years.

Thus taking it away from the use of our good citizens. Use the resources to create safer neighborhoods! 13 I would like to see recycle bins in parks with literature on how and what to recycle. More shelters and tables for picnics and cookouts would be nice. Charcoal grills that could be installed in the spring and taken down in November would be wonderful. 3/13/2022 4:20 PM 14 chairs or a bench seem the most important 3/11/2022 7:16 PM 15 That would add to the beauty of the neighborhood 3/11/2022 1:06 PM 16 How is the city going to handle the extra garbage and litter that will come with more picnic shelters and tables? 3/11/2022 12:31 PM 17 It would be on the trail 3/10/2022 6:15 PM 18 Especially if it could be in the Burn Road area 3/10/2022 5:51 PM 19 Don't forget the campground that is still in Country Charm Park. It needs to be seriously maintained! 3/10/2022 9:02 AM 20 More places to sit and possibly have a birthday party would be great.3/8/2022 7:48 PM 21 Could be good if it's properly maintained. I would hope the city will be provoding trash/recycle bins 3/8/2022 11:12 AM 22 Picnic tables are less desirable. I would love to see the City main the large grass areas at their parks. There is a very large demand for field sports (both soccer & football); However the fields that the city owns are not suitable for our athletes. With the exception of the high school, all the fields within the city are uneven. Family’s in both organized and unorganized sports have to leave the City of Arlington to participate. Family’s of all ages, athlete and non athletes want a safe WIDE OPEN space to let their kids run. Picnic tables alone do not promote gatherings. 3/8/2022 6:03 AM 23 O think we need to deal with the homeless problem in Arlington before we add more shelters for them to hang out in. And by taking care of this problem, I don't mean putting them in jail, I mean actually helping them get the treatment they need. 3/7/2022 7:43 PM 24 They would become a spot for the homeless to hangout and sleep at.3/7/2022 7:31 AM 25 My family loves picnics 3/6/2022 3:44 PM 26 I live in the upper left corner of this map and there is nothing nearby at all. :-(3/4/2022 10:53 PM 27 We need more trees and shade at Haller park 3/4/2022 10:12 PM 28 Parks are my biggest concern but it is nice to have shaded areas and benches at the parks.3/4/2022 9:51 PM 29 My only concern becomes creating more opportunities for garbage people would pack in, but either not pack out and wondering about ongoing care and cleaning. 3/3/2022 9:27 PM 30 with the number of apartments going up this would give families more outdoor areas to hang out 3/3/2022 7:36 PM 31 We need more covered areas because of the rain 3/3/2022 6:47 AM 32 Trails would be nice, but I don’t care for picnic stuff.3/2/2022 9:43 PM 33 while adding picinic areas in nice, I am more concerned with the number of garbage cans available near these benches. I see throughout the Centennial trail, numerous benches and hardly any garbage/recycling recepticals. I think if you are going to invite someone to sit down, slow down and enjoy the parks that you also need to expect a certain amount of trash to accompany it. as someone who picks up trash on my walks, I often look for places to dispose of what I pick up and find very little, convenient or intuative places where garbage cans are. If there is a bench, there should be a can. 3/2/2022 5:34 PM 34 Parks are abundant, but so are the homeless. They encroach in our parks and ruin the beauty and lessen families and children using them. 3/2/2022 9:54 AM 35 My husband is disabled and having someplace to stop and rest is most excellent.3/1/2022 7:58 PM 36 Nice idea but would be overtaken but the druggies and homeless.3/1/2022 7:17 PM Arlington Parks & Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) Plan Priorities Survey SurveyMonkey 25 / 58 37 We use our personal property for BBQing and eating outside 3/1/2022 7:53 AM 38 Sounds nice, but I don't want the homeless to claim it as a home 3/1/2022 12:09 AM 39 Not nearly enough picnic shelters given our climate.2/28/2022 11:25 PM 40 This is incredibly important, COVID-19 isn't going anywhere and we need more outdoor gathering places 2/28/2022 7:41 PM 41 Instead of buying new one how about maintaining what we already have 2/26/2022 9:33 PM 42 You read my mind. See comments above. Twin lakes could use more seating too for for bird watchers in the winter. 2/26/2022 9:21 PM 43 Needed 2/26/2022 4:11 PM 44 I’m sorry I feel the vagrants would destroy these spaces 2/26/2022 8:13 AM 45 Would love to see one at High Clover Park 2/22/2022 9:01 AM 46 I think there need to be more parks first and then figure out what makes sense for each location; this one size fits all does not work 2/20/2022 5:16 PM 47 This is for all the apt.dwellers enough wasted plans for small town now crowded messy 2/19/2022 10:28 PM 48 Good, as long as they are maintained. Will there be restrooms?2/19/2022 9:35 AM 49 I live in an area of high density apartments. A place to go for picnics is important 2/18/2022 2:35 PM 50 If anything the picnic areas need cleaned up more regularly, broken bottles and trash.2/18/2022 2:14 PM 51 Why do I see nothing on the map for Smokey Point east of SPBlvd.?2/18/2022 1:59 PM 52 I don't think these get used frequently enough. I mostly see younger kids use them as hangout spots rather than picnic areas. It's not a bad thing, but I think funds could be better allocated elsewhere. 2/18/2022 11:54 AM 53 We do need more gathering areas and trails. Would like to stress the need for easily accessible parking again. 2/18/2022 9:49 AM 54 This falls in line with my previous comments. Providing a place for families to gather is more important to our community than we know. Probably more important than ever. 2/18/2022 7:45 AM 55 Already a good number as is.2/17/2022 6:21 PM 56 Are they going to be kept up properly?!2/17/2022 4:40 PM 57 Very exciting!2/17/2022 4:23 PM 58 I would say it depends on how many of the other picnic areas are being used and to what capacity. 2/17/2022 4:17 PM 59 we have a lot and drug addicts use them all 2/17/2022 4:16 PM 60 Picnic areas typically get abused and become trashed.2/17/2022 12:10 PM 61 It's great for family and friends to be able to have a safe place to gather and have outdoor activities and picnics. 2/17/2022 9:54 AM 62 Would love access to boardwalk through nature area for wildlife viewing 2/16/2022 7:41 PM 63 We have a trail system in centennial and airport trails.

Would love to see something like a Jennings park in Smokey Point. The areas surrounding the airport could definitly support a wonderful park.

WE NEED MORE PARKS and less industrial buildings. Even the Strawberry fields etc could be enhanced to be more enjoyable with trees, picnic, trails, etc. 69 people use parks when they are clean, maintained and have shelter from sun or rain.2/15/2022 4:18 PM 70 this would only cause the wildlife to abandon their homes. these areas should be only for hiking. In residential areas it would be nice 2/15/2022 1:44 PM 71 Leave it natural 2/15/2022 10:39 AM 72 Excellent Plan 2/14/2022 6:12 PM 73 The newly installed metal benches and tables on Gilman Walk may be vandal resistant but are uninviting in appearance and function. 2/14/2022 11:46 AM Arlington Parks & Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) Plan Priorities Survey SurveyMonkey 27 / 58 Q5 MULTIUSE TRAILS - under the proposed plan, the city could develop a multiuse trail network to provide connections to parks, schools, and other community destinations that access all residential areas. The trail segments would be designed for hike, bike, and dog use depending on environmental constraints and neighborhood property impacts. The proposal would install wayfinding signage and directories along the trail corridors. How important is this proposal to you?

I have used the trail hundreds of times. All trails in Arlington should be connected to the Centennial Trail. 3/4/2022 8:22 AM 29 I think the Centennial trail is a good example of how this would add great value. Often it is more about the journey with end point destinations. The ability to travel between parks without having to go on streets would be great. It is a way to explore and discover. 3/3/2022 9:27 PM 30 this would be awesome and more inviting for bike rides and walks 3/3/2022 7:36 PM 31 I love the idea of more trails 3/3/2022 6:47 AM 32 Yes please!

I lived in Marysvilles for 2 years recently, and it is not fun to walk around parts of Marysville. Not only for safety reasons (poorly lit) but they're often litter ridden and poorly maintained. 2/18/2022 11:54 AM 57 Already plenty of access as is.2/17/2022 6:21 PM 58 Fantastic!2/17/2022 4:23 PM 59 I love the trail systems, even though I am getting too old to use them like I would like to.

There’s no element of challenge and they don’t want to play. I have seven children ages 1-20 and I have been to a park or two. Please don’t get rid of run park activities like merry go round. Add challenge, balance beams, bars, climbing walls. Playgrounds with a theme are great- pirate ship, castle, doll house/play house. Most park playgrounds are being made so boring it’s not worth taking them.

Garbage can however are often overflowing and aren’t necessarily maintained well. Power washing the play structures once a year or every other year, along with weekly clean ups would be a great addition. Again maintaining grassy area to promote safe place to run would be a wonderful benefit to the parks.

I like the idea of making more of these available to take the pressure off downtown Arlington. 2/16/2022 4:02 PM 49 Yes, please! AGain, I highly recommend the areas in and around the airport trail system. The areas near the new firestation and the areas along 43 where they are preparing to put in a round-about woud be lovely. There is a nice mixture of fields, trees and trails that would lend very nicely to a a suburban park system. Would also make a lovely area for all the new workers in the abundance of new business complexes... 2/15/2022 4:36 PM 50 love when local neighborhoods can come together like this 2/15/2022 4:18 PM 51 More crosswalks, bike lanes, and sidewalks in Smokey Point Blvd proposed area.2/15/2022 3:11 PM 52 dont need this to waste money on this .there are plenty of places to have celebrations.2/15/2022 1:44 PM 53 But country charm could not support large amount of traffic 2/14/2022 3:52 PM 54 Please don't ruin Country Charm.2/14/2022 1:22 PM 55 Again, concern about increased traffic to/at CC Park for large events.2/14/2022 11:01 AM Arlington Parks & Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) Plan Priorities Survey SurveyMonkey 44 / 58 19%85 12%56 24%107 25%116 20%91 Q10 Where do you live based on the map above?

Answered: 194 Skipped: 267 #RESPONSES DATE 1 Would like to see a large park with turf fields, play areas, skate park all in one like lake tye area in Monroe. Possibly the area south of smokey point, park 26 on first map. A place open for youth sports, practices and games like lacrosse! Unfortunately the strawberry fields are unavailable for any club/youth sports other than soccer! 3/28/2022 9:02 PM 2 We need more outdoor ares for older children. Fields for Lacrosse, Baseball, Soccer. Need courts for Basketball and area nets for Hockey. Frisbee golf area plus a dog run. Place up in Mount Vernon us great for all this 3/28/2022 7:02 PM 3 Please include restrooms in the parks that are open and well-maintained. Parks without restrooms are useless. 3/28/2022 6:05 PM 4 We need a sports complex like at Stanwood high school as well as lake Tye park in Monroe. That is much needed for our area! These student athletes deserve an area like that as our Arlington lacrosse players are the only ones in the area who don’t have terf or a good field to play on. Other areas don’t like to come to Arlington homes games because of our field conditions. It’s rather embarrassing. Our fields become the laughing stock of sports around the area. These kids deserve better when they put there all into sports they love. Especially the fastest up and coming sport in the area such as Lacrosse. 3/28/2022 5:00 PM 5 We enjoyed spray park 3/28/2022 10:10 AM 6 I would love better sports fields in our area that can be used for multi-sports including a turf area that would require very little maintenance. 3/25/2022 4:14 PM 7 Preserve the country and wildlife. Stop building!!!3/24/2022 12:26 PM 8 We have a young and successful youth and high school lacrosse club in the City Of Arlington that is having issues through the school district to get the availability to use the turf fields at the High School when they allow youth football and soccer clubs use the fields. I would really love to see our high school athletes get the ability to play on their own turf field but unfortunately that doesn’t look like an option for my high school athletes. 3/23/2022 11:17 PM 9 No 3/23/2022 6:54 PM 10 I would really like to see less of the apartments and pot growing facilities. We can smell those from the schools it is terrible!!! Less growth! 3/23/2022 5:45 PM 11 I live in Marysville right next to Arlington 3/23/2022 5:25 PM 12 We live outside of the city limits, and our son goes to school in Everett, but we do want to support Arlington sports. It's hard when other clubs have more to offer in the way of fields. 3/23/2022 3:54 PM 13 I’m really passionate about the athletic fields for the kids and adults. Please please read my response to the above. The school baseball fields really need a ton of work. They are a safety hazard and if you guys can help, that would be amazing. Please contact me if you any questions!!! Momof2boys2617@gmail.com 3/23/2022 3:06 AM 14 28232 SR 9 NE 3/22/2022 10:36 AM 15 I would love to see a playground that has some kind of rain shelter. Those sun sails or something that reduces the amount of rain so kids can play when it is raining. 3/22/2022 12:38 AM 16 expand 172nd agree or build a parallel street that off the hwy exist it takes us more than 30 minutes hair on that road it’s bad really bad we consider moving away for this issue 3/20/2022 7:50 PM 17 We need to enforce no camping. We need a public swimming pool so kids can take swimming lessons. Many kids drowned in the river every year. 3/20/2022 4:45 PM Arlington Parks & Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) Plan Priorities Survey SurveyMonkey 51 / 58 18 I think it would be great to improve the parks. I wonder about the long term cost, how many workers will be needed to staff. 3/19/2022 9:12 AM 19 Arlington is such a beautiful city and has so much to offer. Bringing the community together within the parks with added trail systems and larger community areas would be great! 3/18/2022 1:48 PM 20 More community gardens. More safe ADA accessible public restrooms. Better handicap parking designated on N Olympic 3/18/2022 10:35 AM 21 Safety and misuse of park property.3/17/2022 3:53 PM 22 17611 Redhawk Dr 3/16/2022 12:23 PM 23 6205 188th Pl NE 3/16/2022 12:07 PM 24 All of these improvements and projects would be great for our community but should only be implemented when the City of Arlington has enough staff and a budget to properly maintain them. 3/15/2022 7:18 PM 25 16058 36th Ave NE 3/15/2022 6:50 PM 26 I would like to see increased parking space at the most popular parks, access to public bus stops at parks, and Whitehorse trail be paved from Arlington to Darrington :) 3/15/2022 4:27 PM 27 Need more staff to maintain a great level of service, for the community and its visitors 3/15/2022 9:50 AM 28 The City seems to have great ideas on building up the parks and keeping it look nice. The city seems to be low on staff and pulled thin for the staffing to maintain these great parks and desitnation. With a growing population the city should be increasing their staff to keep them looking nice for many years not just the year they are built. 3/15/2022 9:03 AM 29 I would love to see the city consider the construction of a large aquatic center similar to the one in Snohomish, but have the city own it. I go lap swimming at the Snohomish center or at LSHS. I play pool, a competition lap pool, and a relatively shallow (3 to 5 feet) for lessons and lap swimming would be incredible for our children and future generations. One or sides would have sliding doors for the summer. A semi-covered outdoor pool for the summer would be ideal. I saw a 50 meter pool in Japan on on one end. It was enclosed, but it had one end that had sliding doors like an airplane hanger. It was perfect for the summer. The entire pool was no more than 5 feet deep for water walking, lessons, lap swimming, and playing. Arlington could team up with Lakewood, Stanwood and Tulalip Tribes for swim meets, etc. 3/13/2022 4:20 PM 30 Smokey Point neighborhood’s need more parks 3/12/2022 10:39 PM 31 more field space for team sports.....baseball soccer foorball 3/12/2022 8:13 PM 32 Given my age, passive parks with a bench is a need.3/11/2022 7:16 PM 33 since many people may not see this survey on website, information or notice of survey should be posted at all parks here in Arlington 3/11/2022 4:58 PM 34 I have lived in arlington since i was 10 years old until this passed year. I could not find affordable housing in the area as woman. So sad. But I am still blessed to work and spend most of my leisurely time in Arlington with family and friends so I still consider this place my home. I work in the Smokey Point area and I would love to see more parks, open spaces, event spaces in the Smokey point area! It would be wonderful! 3/11/2022 1:29 PM 35 I am a dog lover and owner of two active dogs. I would love the city to provide a wonderful off leash park. There are numerous dog owners in town and when we meet to have our dogs play we always talk about how nice it would be to have an exceptional dog area. 3/11/2022 1:06 PM 36 Staffing needs based on the increase in area to maintain. Please consider this before implementing all these amazing things. 3/11/2022 12:31 PM 37 when asked about home location. I put 4 b/c my present home. for 25+ years lived in zone 3 3/11/2022 12:29 PM 38 Need sidewalks on 531 from 67th to hwy 9 and bus service. There is no way to walk safely or get around without a car. It would be nice to have a YMCA in Arlington. It is not a senior friendly city. 3/11/2022 11:44 AM 39 203 S Stillaguamish Ave 3/10/2022 6:47 PM Arlington Parks & Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) Plan Priorities Survey SurveyMonkey 52 / 58 40 If excess traffic is toomey from the improvements how is that going to be handled?3/10/2022 6:42 PM 41 I’m not seeing how you can address vandalism and safety of playgrounds against transient population, predators, or drug users leaving needles around. I would love to see an obstacle course, geo caching, row machines, dance stage, callesthenics workout area, and little kid bike trail. 3/10/2022 5:51 PM 42 Country Charm Park needs ROAD ACCESS and PARKING INSIDE the park!3/10/2022 9:02 AM 43 Pool! We need a pool!3/8/2022 9:48 PM 44 I would love to see the city work with the county to develop more courts and fields. King county has an incredible system of parks and fields. We could do much better for our kids and adult leagues. 3/8/2022 9:45 PM 45 Restrooms at the parks. There needs to be a porta-potty back between the two baseball fields at quake. The quality of the current ones down at quake are poor. Need maintenance and janitorial services bad. 3/8/2022 8:23 PM 46 Sidewalks! Make it safer for families to walk if they don't live downtown. I cannot walk my children anywhere near or on Kackman because of no sidewalks or trails and a fast speed limit. 3/8/2022 6:23 PM 47 More police in smokey point boulevard, its a lot of homeless stilling stuff from houses in the area. I ben out of the house twise this year and my house is been vandalized for kids doing graffiti and homeles traing to got in, its crazy 3/8/2022 5:47 PM 48 We need fully ada accessible playgrounds 3/8/2022 12:40 PM 49 Wht does the City not invest in the Schools of Arlington? I would think that woulkd be priority.3/8/2022 11:12 AM 50 Please consider parking.parking.parking when planning for large area for field sports. Stocker fields in Snohomish is also located in the flood plain, so mimic their low impact design. 3/8/2022 6:03 AM 51 I would love more dog friendly or dog specific areas. Currently Strawberry Fields is the only off leash dog area, and its inaccessible many months out of the year because it floods. 3/7/2022 9:00 PM 52 More growth for the bike community would be great! Things like pump tracks, dirt jumps, and small trail systems. 3/7/2022 8:32 PM 53 My concern with all of this is how it will be paid for. I'm done paying higher taxes and/or Levy's. I am also concerned that these trails will just be a new place for homeless folks to hide out. They are already all over the Centennial trail. 3/7/2022 7:43 PM 54 Would love a pump track or similar for bikes!3/7/2022 12:45 AM 55 I would like to see a pump track for kids along the centennial trail with trail access 3/6/2022 8:19 PM 56 Forget about basketball courts, fix the roads!!!!3/6/2022 3:45 PM 57 I would love a bike pump track or more bike and running trails!3/5/2022 10:28 AM 58 Cemetery road and 62nd needs a sidewalk for walking it is dangerous around the loop with no sidewalk. This area connects to the airport trail and lots of people like to ride bike and walk there 3/4/2022 10:12 PM 59 Our city needs more safe areas for teens to hand out. Down town is not an option. They need things to do like sports courts Ect to keep them out of trouble. 3/4/2022 9:51 PM 60 Please stop building more housing in down town Arlington. It’s losing its small town feel that everyone knows and loves. 3/4/2022 8:46 PM 61 Stop developing... moved here for the small town atmosphere and it is being ruined!3/4/2022 7:10 PM 62 I'm sure it's been addressed, but I'll highlight again. Please ensure enough lighting is incorporated to keep visitors/participants safe and would-be no-gooders at bay. 3/4/2022 3:25 PM 63 18522 Woodbine Dr Arlington WA 98223 3/4/2022 11:57 AM 64 No 3/4/2022 11:51 AM 65 I am concerned about bike lanes. In reviewing the drawings of intended modifications to 172nd 3/4/2022 8:22 AM Arlington Parks & Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) Plan Priorities Survey SurveyMonkey 53 / 58 Street, it appeared there was no dedicated bike/walking lane. I saw bikes behind parked vehicles, next to traffic. I was uncertain why parking on 172nd St was included in the plan. That space would be better used to add a lane for traffic with a dedicated bike lane on the curb side of the road. Cascade Bike Club can provide reference to experts in the design of bike lanes. 66 We would love to see a riverwalk from Haller Park to Country Charm Park.3/3/2022 6:40 PM 67 In order to have a thriving and healthy city the proposals the city of Arlington is offering would make us a destination for all. I love and am proud of our city. 3/3/2022 9:35 AM 68 Country charm park seems inaccessible due to the construction which sucks because it was a nice place for dog walking 3/3/2022 8:29 AM 69 We would love some type of pump track or bike riding area. We drive all the way to Bellingham to let my boys use the pump track. 3/3/2022 6:47 AM 70 Please improve safety for pedestrians. Please make our town and parks accessible for all.3/2/2022 7:23 PM 71 Homelessness! Within the last six months we’ve been deterred from entering Haller Park due to encroachment of homeless people. Protect our families and children, these individuals have criminal history (high numbers of pedophiles). Parks and safety should go hand in hand. 3/2/2022 9:54 AM 72 Everyone loves The splash park we should have more. Also we have to make this community more walkable/bikeable 3/1/2022 6:47 PM 73 Please STOP building on and interrupting nature areas and the wildlife running out of places to flee. We bought out lovely, rural home over 15 yes ago and low income apartments and crime have inched their way into this once small, quiet and low-crime area. Heaven forbid we a 10 x 10 piece of vacant land in the area. 3/1/2022 7:53 AM 74 Keeping our parks safe from drug activity and needles etc is very important to me and the safety of my children. 3/1/2022 7:12 AM 75 Please install more crosswalks! Especially along Smokey Point Blvd north of 172nd. Also, it is SO difficult to exit neighborhoods onto Smokey Point Blvd in the same area. It can take upwards of 20 minutes to wait for a break in traffic in order to turn out (for example on the side streets near the Smokey Point Community Church). Traffic lights are very much needed! 3/1/2022 7:10 AM 76 No 3/1/2022 12:09 AM 77 Although I live in Arlington Heights, the parks in and around Arlington represent the best opportunity for recreation. 2/28/2022 11:25 PM 78 Would love a YMCA that is local, or indoor arena area for the older kids to go. Laser Tag, ropes course, etc. Need more stuff for rainy days that is local 2/28/2022 10:33 PM 79 Anywhere a housing develops goes in there should be a park of equal size. Keep Arlington rural 2/28/2022 6:58 PM 80 What about a covered playground park? Like the covered sports courts at school? With so many rainy days it would get a lot of use! 2/28/2022 3:09 PM 81 I would love to see a fenced playground near Legion park happen. Also, can we use the old Arlington High School for community use? It would be a huge benefit to our entire community! 2/28/2022 3:00 PM 82 In any park, adequate parking, maintained trails, etc...and some sort of emergency comminication. 2/28/2022 10:17 AM 83 I would love to have better access to the Stillaguamish River bed at Haller Park under the Hwy 9 overpass. Stairs or something. It would be nice to declare the river bed there at Haller Park and oficial off leash dog area. 2/27/2022 7:22 PM 84 Please put a park and basketball court in zone 1 more specifically on 196th pl ne Arlington. We have a very old park and court but the closest park is high clover and we have to walk on the dangerous main road to get there with small kids. We could really use a safe walking distance park. The neighborhood of 196th pl ne has a ton of kids aging from babies to teens that would utilize a park every day of the year in that location. Thank you 2/27/2022 8:49 AM 85 Build an AQUATIC CENTER!

It's been over 10 years now!2/26/2022 9:33 PM 91 I would like to see us continue to improve main street with new non-antique vintage stores, the Chinese restaurant corner needs to be cleaned up, and more marketing to being tourists into town. The city did a great job this past Christmas with the Hometown Holiday weekends, love Super Saturday, and the Christmas decorations in Legion park were beautiful. We have all the makings of a Hallmark movie small town. Seems like things are headed in the right direction. 2/26/2022 9:33 PM 92 Could this include repair/expansion of the wetland trail at Pioneer Elementary School?2/26/2022 6:55 PM 93 Would love more trails and parks 2/26/2022 5:50 PM 94 No. But I cant tell where i live according to that map. I live on the edge of town but was a homeowner in rown for many years. 2/26/2022 4:58 PM 95 3325 177th PL NE, Arlington, WA, 98223 2/26/2022 3:32 PM 96 I would really like this board to focus on improving the parks and areas we have currently and stop adding in apartments and big business. 531 needs to be widened before anything else. It is frustrating to current residents. 2/26/2022 3:16 PM 97 2607 178TH ST NW 2/26/2022 10:39 AM 98 automobile traffic!!!! With apartment cities being built next to sidewalks making road expansion IMPOSSiBLE! The lack of infastructure is immoral….parks won’t help much if they are overcrowded….. 2/26/2022 8:13 AM 99 Make it a very high priority to develop in a livable, community-centered way that encourages neighborhood interaction, walkability, green space. Encourage more small businesses downtown to bring the community together as well as making it a destination. 2/26/2022 1:19 AM 100 No 2/25/2022 11:01 PM 101 No 2/25/2022 10:14 PM 102 Keep the parks open to view, no hiding places. More signs for No smoke/Vape alcohol 2/25/2022 10:03 PM 103 Go Parks & Rec!!!2/25/2022 9:52 PM 104 I am in favor of anything to encourage families and friends to gather outdoors and enjoy this beautiful city. Keep up the good work Arlington! 2/25/2022 7:41 PM 105 Dog park would be nice 2/25/2022 7:12 PM 106 No 2/25/2022 5:53 PM 107 17416 Noble Dr 2/25/2022 3:51 PM 108 Looking at the maps you provided, I see a real need for more parks in the Smokey Point residential areas. Thank you for asking! 2/25/2022 3:50 PM 109 Our neighborhood (heartland homes) just ripped out our parks. Maybe this space could be incorporated into this plan since we are in the city limits. 2/25/2022 3:37 PM 110 Just some maintenance and maybe so expansion of the skatepark to include a mini ramp. It's about the only thing I would like to see y'all put some money towards 2/25/2022 10:50 AM 111 We need more areas for teenagers to hang out that are safe. Including basketball, tennis, and pickle ball courts could help this. 2/25/2022 7:40 AM 112 Arlington needs parks with clean and safe restrooms, covered picnic areas, and play equipment for children. Some shade trees would be really nice! 2/24/2022 9:20 PM 113 More recreational youth camps and park organized activities 2/22/2022 3:24 PM Arlington Parks & Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) Plan Priorities Survey SurveyMonkey 55 / 58 114 Stop building and adding residential zone housing or condos. I'm sure amazon is paying enough in tax dollars renovate the whole city / run the city. Ps our roads (172nd) suck! Plus the Amazon building is huge eye sore. Stop running the city like a business keep it small. Down town Arlington is last good part. 2/22/2022 2:22 PM 115 3200 180th Street Northeast 2/22/2022 9:44 AM 116 Love Centennial Trail. Would love more wooded areas to walk. I go to Camano Island for easy trail walking 2/21/2022 6:18 PM 117 I think it would be a good idea to add a recycle bin and a compost bin, which can help reduce the amount of trash that over flows from the trash cans. 2/21/2022 1:29 PM 118 18006 W COUNTRY CLUB DR 2/21/2022 12:01 PM 119 Would love to see a pool! (Or a YMCA) Walking/biking area along Cemetery Road from 47th to 67th. 2/20/2022 9:25 PM 120 It seems like most improvements go to the downtown area and literally zero improvements for citizens in the Smoky Point area. The only improvements here are for businesses. It is unwalkable and becoming unlivable. What used to be a beautiful part of Arlington has become an industrial center with its citizens forgotten 2/20/2022 5:16 PM 121 It would be nice to have dog friendly areas. Or even a dog park. At the very least garbage bins to toss doggie bags. 2/20/2022 12:16 AM 122 I’m new to this discussion. Is a skate park under consideration? I know there’s one near the Boys & Girls club, but that’s so far outside of Arlington’s core (and nowhere near our schools). 2/19/2022 10:49 PM 123 Decent grocery store the planning is terrible here ,traffic mess only will get worse,accidents weekly almost on roads 2/19/2022 10:28 PM 124 Some trail connections, like from 204th to Cemetery Road and the airport trail would be a nice option to avoid 67th Avenue. 2/19/2022 9:35 AM 125 The Centennial Trail is the best recreation addition in the last 25 years. Creek and River work is high on our list for future plans, as well as completion of the Darrington Trail. 2/19/2022 8:52 AM 126 438 S OLYMPIC AVE 2/19/2022 7:51 AM 127 4819 196th PL NE 2/18/2022 8:40 PM 128 25218 Meadow Way NE 2/18/2022 8:36 PM 129 I am very excited about improvements to our parks, but it would also be nice if ALL the garbages were emptied up regularly. The park by my house has a back garbage can by the basketball court that sits full for months at a time. 2/18/2022 8:30 PM 130 I couldn't really read your map because I have to do it on my telephone. I don't know of any parks in the Smokey Point area. I know Downtown Arlington area has a lot of parks and trails which is nice. 2/18/2022 7:53 PM 131 Please install more tennis courts! As far as I know, the only ones are at the high school. Lots more people play tennis than pickle ball. I vote no on pickle ball courts. If tennis courts were installed near the middle schools, they could have tennis teams or use them for PE. Also, we need activities for teens. Most of the park areas seem geared to little kids. 2/18/2022 2:47 PM 132 Post needs rebuilt, & arlingtons schools are packed, need to be building at least 2 more elementary, one more middle, and probably another high & should have started yesterday. The schools need to keep up with the growth. Arlington is currently failing the children & the teachers. 2/18/2022 2:16 PM 133 SCHOOLS. WE NEED MORE SCHOOLS. So many apartment complexes going in, no new schools being built. One floor schools should be multiple floors. Where are all the kids in the new country charm housing development going to go to? Schools needed! 2/18/2022 2:14 PM 134 What's the skinny on two new parks on the airport property? (One by fire station, and one nearer the new commercial buildings) Fact or rumor? And how about the property which WAS to have been the fire stations: would a park work there? 2/18/2022 1:59 PM Arlington Parks & Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) Plan Priorities Survey SurveyMonkey 56 / 58 135 4623 200th St. NE 2/18/2022 1:55 PM 136 The Airport Trail is marvelous. Would love improvements to enhance the experience when walking the portion along 172nd. Would appreciate a variety of walking trails. The ability to walk from Zone 1 on/along Cemetary Road from 47th going east to 67th would be so welcome. 2/18/2022 1:47 PM 137 Would love a dog park 2/18/2022 1:44 PM 138 Looking at existing and future parks, I don't see parks being added to the high density areas where these 3-4 story complexes are going in. There needs to be open space added to accommodate these newly populated areas. I also question how much the school district will allow public use and find including it with this survey misleading. The school district already either fences off, has gates and/or discourages parking in their lots and limits or blocks access to tracks, walking areas, ball fields, tennis courts and playgrounds. Unless that changes you shouldn't include it as part of this survey. 2/18/2022 12:43 PM 139 20704 61st AVE NE 2/18/2022 12:30 PM 140 Work on roads first 2/18/2022 11:03 AM 141 I feel it is of extreme importance to make sure those *with disabilities* have access to paths and trails and play equipment too. Mostly, all this encroaching development in town is pushing out the views of the mountains (such as by the airport), and the scenic, country beauty that used to be a hallmark of Arlington. Can we please have more space and trails for the beautiful landscapes and such? Thanks for asking for our input. 2/18/2022 10:22 AM 142 Please keep in mind safety for the families that go to these parks. Safety meaning lighting, parking, and how traffic in/out flows in busy areas. 2/18/2022 9:49 AM 143 NO 2/18/2022 9:45 AM 144 I just want to reiterate the importance of providing all of these kinds of spaces to the residents in our community. It can't all be blacktop and business. Twin Rivers breaks my heart every time I drive past it. I know that maintenance and care has been transferred back to the county but those ball fields are absolutely horrific. Soon, nobody will use them for anything. And that is heart breaking. 2/18/2022 7:45 AM 145 In my opinion, upkeep of current parks, trails, etc is more important than creating new spaces. The current parks and trails are well loved by the community and will be cherished for years to come. 2/17/2022 6:21 PM 146 I love all that Arlington is doing with Parks! Thank you for all your work with this!2/17/2022 5:59 PM 147 I really like the idea of biking/walking trails. We own electric bikes but have found it can be dangerous riding outside of old towon or off the Centennial Trail. For example, we like yo ride to Skookum brewery but there are areas on that ride that require riding in the street. Or biking to businesses in Smokey Point. 2/17/2022 5:14 PM 148 Keeping roadways, watersheds and creeks free of debri and trash has NEVER been a priority since I’ve lived here going on eight years. There’s so much that needs to be done and it seems so little that is being addressed. 2/17/2022 4:40 PM 149 There needs to be more/widen roads in the city limits to alleviate all of the current and new traffic flow. 2/17/2022 4:26 PM 150 All very great ideas, I'm excited to them realized!2/17/2022 4:23 PM 151 How to stay in budget.2/17/2022 4:17 PM 152 we need to address the homeless issue as well as crime, there have been far too many thefts 2/17/2022 4:16 PM 153 Taking away parking from downtown with little parklets is not a good idea. Spending more than a $1,000,000.00 on the Jim Howell property for a so call statue to the Mayor was a very poor decision for the city. Took away tax dollars and another retail space from MANY different people who wanted the space for their own business. Not that will never happen because the price would be to much for anybody to purchase the property even if the city wanted to sell it. 2/17/2022 3:46 PM 154 19309 46th Ave NE 2/17/2022 3:33 PM 155 no 2/17/2022 3:09 PM Arlington Parks & Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) Plan Priorities Survey SurveyMonkey 57 / 58 156 I hope any development will provide lighting that takes any nearby neighbors' quality of life into account (no bare lights shining out to infinity or light trespass onto neighbors' properties) 2/17/2022 1:00 PM 157 Please fix the fence at terrace park, it was broken last summer and is in generally poor repair 2/17/2022 11:22 AM 158 I AM WILLING TO VOLLUNTEER TIME TO THE PLANNING AND CONSTRUCTION OF A LOCAL SAND VOLLEYBALL COURT.

I appreciate all the parks, trails, etc Arlington has to offer. My only wish is that the bathrooms were open as it makes using the parks and recreation spaces difficult when there’s no restroom available for use. 2/17/2022 6:04 AM 162 1721 249TH ST NE 2/17/2022 5:25 AM 163 Centennial Trail needs enforcement of stop signs at street crossings along 67th, as well as making sure cyclists use the trail and not the road 2/16/2022 10:15 PM 164 access to parks via sidewalk or trails from Magnolia meadows to Gleneagle 2/16/2022 9:11 PM 165 more trails please!2/16/2022 7:14 PM 166 Building a Aquatic Center for all to enjoy.2/16/2022 7:13 PM 167 6501 210TH ST NE 2/16/2022 7:06 PM 168 I have grandchildren who use parks with and most residents rarely use 2/16/2022 5:36 PM 169 A living art wall for graffiti...could be painted out every other year.

What policies are in place that address location, maintenance, acceptance, etc.? 2/16/2022 3:00 PM 173 Would like a community indoor & outdoor pool area so people 50 & older can do low impact pool exercises & kids can take swim lessons or have family pool time 2/16/2022 2:51 PM 174 20227 80th Ave NE Unit 37 2/16/2022 2:45 PM 175 Bathroom facilities at local parks. J Rudy Memorial Park is our only local park, but has no bathroom and can be problematic when you have young children. We opt to then drive to another that does have one. 2/16/2022 2:00 PM 176 Once again the original Smokey Point housing areas get little or no accommodations. Other than retail and industrial businesses which lower the quality of life. 2/16/2022 12:02 PM 177 I, As well as other I have talked to would love to see more parks and activities that families can do. It has been very disheartening to see all of these public areas that we would take our families to fly kites, or run the dogs, and play catch get sold off and replaced by big commercial buildings. While we still have new commercial buildings that have sat empty for years now. 2/16/2022 12:02 PM 178 None at this time 2/15/2022 8:15 PM 179 Love to have a YMCA within city limits!!2/15/2022 5:54 PM 180 I am very concerned about the amount of business complexes that have been being built in our Smokey Point community. We have 5-6 new car dealerships, Amazon, Retirement communities and other sites. While there is need for new business. Adequate attention to the road systems in this area have been completely overlooked. The road are a mess. A perfect example is Island Crossing. The road to give ingress and egress to 530 and Smokey Point 2/15/2022 4:36 PM Arlington Parks & Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) Plan Priorities Survey SurveyMonkey 58 / 58 Blvd was not great prior to the new Truck stop but now that road is a MESS! If you happen to be traveling on those roads the gridlock is crazy. The road is not wide enough for most cars to travel when there are multiple big rigs trying to go north to access 530. In addition, the potholes are horrific and even after being patched they deteriorate rapidly as if nothing had been done. The roads need to be addressed before you begin your crazy expansions of our community NOT AFTER!!!!! 181 No.2/15/2022 4:29 PM 182 Thanks for the forward-thinking to address the needs of our youth 2/15/2022 4:18 PM 183 510 East 2nd Street 2/15/2022 4:14 PM 184 Sidewalks, bike lanes, safe crosswalks to allow Smokey Point residents to safely walk and bike! 2/15/2022 3:11 PM 185 A indoor pool facility like the snohomish aquatic center would be a wonderful asset for the city of Arlington. 2/15/2022 2:08 PM 186 I would like to see bus access on 172nd street between Gleneagle and The Crossing. I know it is a state highway, but with so many people moving here, we need some consideration from the state and county to provide this. There are just so many cars that these two lane roads can handle and round-a-bouts won't help. 2/15/2022 1:44 PM 187 I just wish they would quit building apartments and large apartment complexes 2/15/2022 1:44 PM 188 6206 188th St NE, SPC 29 2/15/2022 12:51 PM 189 Didn't see parking addressed 2/15/2022 12:44 PM 190 We plan to register to vote .

Ratios The demand for park, recreation, and open space land can be estimated using a ratio of a required facility to a standard unit of population, such as 3.1 acres of athletic fields and playgrounds per 1,000 residents. The ratio method is relatively simple to compute and can be compared with national or local park, recreation, and open space measurements. However, the method cannot account for unique age, social or interest characteristics that may affect the park, recreation, and open space activity patterns within a specific community. Nor can the method compensate for unique climatic or environmental features that may cause seasonal or geographical variations in park, recreation, and open space use patterns. The ratio method is frequently used to estimate land requirements. However, a number of factors may significantly influence the amount of land a community may wish to set aside for park, recreation, and open space purposes. Such factors may include the presence of sensitive environments, scenic viewpoints, historical or cultural assets, trailheads, and other features that may increase land set-asides along a non-motorized transportation or trail corridor. The National Recreation & Park Association (NRPA) compiles data on the amount of land and facilities that have developed over time by major parks, recreation, and open space departments across the country. Depending on the agency arrangements within the participating cities, the ratios may or may not include the lands and facilities that are provided by all public sponsors including city, school, county, state, federal agencies, and private operators within each measuring jurisdiction. Note - the NRPA began publishing a comprehensive list of ratios in 1985 that have subsequently been updated and qualified to account for local methodologies in the years since. NRPA’s most recent data has been published in the 2019 NRPA Agency Performance Review. The 2019 NRPA Agency Performance Review was collected from 1,075 unique park and recreation agencies across the US based on reports between 2016 and 2018 and is published with medians along with data responses at the lower-quartile (lowest 25%) and upper-quartile (highest 25%). The NRPA Park Metrics (formerly PRORAGIS) report compiles survey data for type, size, geography, and other agency characteristics. The benchmarks used here are based on the NRPA Park Metrics results for agencies serving populations of 15,000-25,000 and the median responses to the 2019 NRPA Agency Performance Review when Park Metrics data is not available. Note - the ratios are based on parks properties and facilities owned by cities and not on a composite ratio that may include other public, nonprofit, and private or school district facilities available for public use. Participation models Park, recreation, and open space facility requirements can also be determined using variations of participation models – refined, statistical variations of a questionnaire or survey method of determining recreational behavior. Participation models are usually compiled using activity diaries, where a person or household records their participation in specific recreational activities over a measurable period. The diary results are compiled to create a statistical profile that can be used to project the park, recreation, and open space behavior of comparable persons, households, or populations. Participation models are most accurate when the participation measurements are determined for a population and area that is local and similar enough to the population that is to be projected by E-2 Arlington PRMP Plan the model. The most accurate participation models are usually controlled for climatic region and age, and periodically updated to measure changes in recreational behavior in activities or areas over time. Properly done, participation models can be perfectly accurate predictors of an area's facility requirements in terms that are specific and measurable. However, though accurate, participation models can be somewhat abstract, and if not combined with other methods of gathering public opinion, can fail to determine qualitative issues of an area's demands in addition to a facility's quantitative requirements. For example, an area might provide the exact facility quantities that are required to meet the resident population’s park, recreation, and open space demands, such as a mile of walking trail. However, the facility might not be provided with the proper destination, in a quality or safe corridor, or other important, but less measurable aspect that makes the facility quantity effective and the activity a pleasurable experience. The walking trail, for example, might be located in an area of uninteresting scenery and/or in an inaccessible location. This planning effort utilizes the results of the Washington State Recreation & Conservation Office (RCO) surveys for 6 age groups (male and female) for the northeast region of the state (east of the Cascade Mountains) that were accomplished in 2001, 2006, and 2012. The estimates were developed for each activity demand for the peak season periods that would most impact facility capacities and thereby the level of service to residents. The estimated demands were converted into facility units based on assumed high capacity and turnover rates common to most urban areas of the state. The projected facility unit requirements were then converted into a simple facility unit per 1,000 resident’s ratio to allow comparison with similar ratios developed by the NRPA and found to be the existing facility level-of-service (ELOS) for each activity. Note - participation models can account for facility capacity ratios that may be expressed through management policies or local population preferences concerning volume of use or the degree of crowding that is satisfactory. However, the model cannot account for all Proposed variations in crowding or volume of use that may vary over the length of a trail, season, or by a different user population at the same time. Nor can the model account for communities that may be impacted by tourists or regional users from outside the modeling area. Existing and Proposed level-of-service (ELOS/PLOS) Facility requirements may also be determined by expressing the supply of existing park, recreation, and open space land and facilities as a ratio to the resident existing population (as a unit ratio per 1,000 persons). The existing level-of-service (ELOS) condition or ratio can define an existing standard for each type of park, recreation, and open space provided within the existing inventory. ELOS ratios can be calculated for specialized types of activities for which there are no comparable national or state definitions. Ultimately, department staff with public assistance through telephone or mailed or internet questionnaires can develop Proposed level-of-service (PLOS) ratios for a specific type of facility by determining the quantity that is surplus or deficient in quantity or condition within the existing inventory. For example, the existing supply of beach trails in a jurisdiction of 10,000 persons may be 20 miles, or an existing level-of-service (ELOS) standard of 2.00 miles per 1,000 persons or population. The public may determine, however, that under present conditions the existing trails are overcrowded and located in areas that are of little interest for beach walking purposes. Ideally, the public would like to add 10 more miles to the existing inventory in order to reduce crowding and provide access to more interesting sites. The proposal would increase the overall supply to 30 miles and the Proposed level-of-service (PLOS) standard to 3.00 miles per 1,000 persons. Note – this plan compares all 3 methodologies. However, the plan considers the ELOS/PLOS comparison approach to be the most accurate method of resolving final level-of-service requirements since it can account for impacts of: Arlington PRMP Plan E-3  Out-of-area tourist and regional users,  Combined public and private facility inventories,  Unique environmental or market area dynamics, and  Other variables not proposed to quantify in a participation model or ratio. Land requirements Total park land The RCO does not have a benchmark for park, recreation, and open space land. According to National Recreation & Park Association (NRPA) 2019 NRPA Agency Performance Review agencies serving populations of 15,000-25,000 provided a median of 12.6 acres per 1,000 persons in the population that gradually declined as the population increased up to 250,000. * All proposed identifies 2050 requirements including additional land or facilities that are recommended to be added and the level-of-service per 1,000 persons that will result from the addition and the projected population increase over the next 20-year planning period. The level-of- service ratio will decline due to additional population increase (13,784 persons in the city by 2050) if no additional land or facilities are recommended. ** Ratio is expressed per 1,000 residents within Arlington (year 2020 city population of 22,800) under Arlington and for all public and private facilities under “All total” and “Recommended additional” standard. By comparison, Arlington owns 172.9 acres of parkland or a ratio of 7.58 city park acres per 1,000 residents and the city, county, school districts, state, and HOAs own 1,349.8 acres or 59.20 acres per 1,000 city residents. Select acquisitions of additional parkland to be described in following pages, may provide another 1.0 city park acres equal to a ratio of 36.92 of all park acres per 1,000 city residents by the year 2050. The existing supply of park land is sufficient if all sites were developed to capacity. Therefore, the resulting standard should be sufficient to provide equal park distribution for local needs and to conserve important regional attributes in the city for the reasons listed in the following descriptions considering the amount of land provided in or near the city by other public agencies. Resource conservancies Open space preservation or resource conservancies are designed to protect and manage a natural and/or cultural feature, environment, or facility - such as a wetland or unique habitat, a natural landmark, or a unique cultural setting. Resource conservancies are defined by areas of natural quality for nature-oriented outdoor recreation, such as viewing and studying nature, wildlife habitat, and conservation. Open space preservations or resource conservancies should be located to encompass diverse or unique natural resources, such as lakes, streams, marshes, flora, fauna, and topography. Recreational use may be a secondary, non-intrusive part of the property - such as an interpretative trail, viewpoint, exhibit signage, picnic area or other feature. In practice, there aren’t minimum or maximum benchmarks concerning conservancies - a site should provide whatever is necessary to protect the resource. /1,000 Na Na 2.74 36.05 22.47 Arlington presently provides 62.4 acres of open space and resource conservancies or a ratio of 2.74 acres per 1,000 residents and the city, county, state, school districts, and HOAs provide 821.9 acres or a ratio of 36.05 acres per 1,0000 city residents. The ratio includes portions of the city’s Country Charm, Stormwater Wetland, 67th Avenue, Crown Ridge 5, Old Burn Road, and Portage Creek Parks as well as parks and open spaces owned by the City of Marysville, Snohomish County, Washington State DNR, Arlington School District, and HOAs. E-4 Arlington PRMP Plan While the present supply (existing level-of-service (ELOS) standard) does not need to be increased through purchase, the city’s critical areas ordinance should continue to protect these important resource conservancies and if necessary, acquire development rights if portions of these private landholdings are in jeopardy of development or to provide public access for Proposed wildlife habitat and trail corridors. Sites that merit consideration for acquisition if necessary to conserve riparian habitat, wetlands, ponds, streams, and wooded hillsides include Portage Creek, March Creek, and the Middle Fork Quilceda Creek corridors. Resource activities Resource activities are defined by areas of natural or ornamental quality for outdoor recreation such as picnicking, boating, fishing, swimming, camping, and local parks trail uses. The site may also include play areas, such as playgrounds and open grassy play fields if these areas support the primary outdoor recreational features. The site should be contiguous to or encompassing natural resources including resource conservancies. In practice, there aren’t minimum or maximum benchmarks concerning conservancies - a site should provide whatever is necessary to protect the resource. /1,000 Na Na 2.74 14.00 8.73 Arlington presently provides 62.4 acres of resource active parks or a ratio of 2.74 parks per 1,000 residents and the county, state, and HOAs provide 319.3 acres or 14.00 acres per 1,000 city residents. The ratio includes portions of the city’s Country Charm, Haller, and Stormwater Wetland Parks as well as parks owned by Snohomish County. The existing supply is adequate even as the standard declines to 8.73 acres per 1,000 city residents if these sites are developed to provide resource activities of interest and suitable to each property. Linear trails Linear trails are built or natural corridors, such as abandoned or surplus railroad lines, undeveloped road-rights-of-way, and active utility rights-of-way or natural areas defined by drainage features, topographical changes, wooded areas, or vegetation patterns that can link schools, libraries, or commercial areas with parks. Generally, linear trails may be developed for multiple modes of recreational travel such as hiking, biking or horseback riding. The trail system may parallel established vehicular or other transportation systems, but apart from and usually within a separate right-of-way. Linear trail corridors may also include active play areas or trailhead development located in other types of parkland. Trail systems should be anchored by public facilities, like a school or park that may serve as a destination or trailhead and extend into the surrounding residential areas using natural features or established roads, sidewalks, or other safe travel corridors. Ideally, a minimum trail system should be at least 3-5 miles long and provide the ability to loop back to the point of origin. The trail should be sufficiently wide enough to provide for the type of trail user(s) that it is accommodating, preserve the features through which the trail is traveling, and buffer adjacent land use activities. In practice, there aren’t benchmarks concerning linear trails. An agency should provide as many miles as proposed considering the trail opportunities a city’s geography provides. NRPA RCO Arlington All total All proposed Acres 8.5 287.6 287.6 Arlington presently provides 8.5 dedicated acres of linear trail corridor or a ratio of 0.37 acres per 1,000 residents consisting of the city’s portion of the Centennial Trail, Airport Trail, and an extensive system of trails in resource parks that are not counted as separate acreages. Arlington and Snohomish County provide 287.6 acres including the county portion of the Centennial and Whitehorse Trails or a ratio of 12.61 acres per 1,000 residents. Arlington PRMP Plan E-5 Arlington has considerable and sufficient trail acreage resources were these trail segments as well as the individual resource park trails integrated into a citywide network of on and off-road trails through existing parks and city rights-of-way even as the ratio declines to 7.86 acres per 1,000 residents. Playgrounds and athletic fields Athletic fields and playgrounds are designed for intense recreational activities like field and court games, playground apparatus areas, picnicking, wading pools, and the like. A suitable athletic field and playground site should be capable of sustaining intense recreational development. The site should be easily accessible to the using population and ideally should be linked to the surrounding area by walking and biking trails and paths. Typically, athletic fields and playgrounds may be included within or jointly developed in association with an elementary, middle, or high school facility. The desired service area for an athletic field or playground complex depends on the competitive quality to which the facility is developed and the resident using population that the site is intended to serve. Regionally oriented athletic sites may include 4 or more competitive, high-quality soccer, baseball or softball fields serving organized leagues drawn from surrounding communities or areas - which may include the approximate service area for a high school. Local (community or neighborhood) oriented athletic fields and playgrounds may consist primarily of a playground and a grassy play area, possibly including 1 or more practice or non-regulation athletic fields. Local athletic fields and playgrounds serve residents of an immediately surrounding residential area from a quarter to half-mile radius - the service area for an elementary school. In practice, there aren’t minimum or maximum benchmarks concerning athletic fields and playgrounds. An agency should provide sufficient playgrounds within a 0.5-mile walking distance of most residents and athletic fields to accommodate most league activities of local, younger age residents. Arlington presently provides 23.5 acres or a ratio of 1.03 acres per 1,000 residents of playgrounds and athletic fields. All agencies combined including the city, school district, and HOAs provide 222.0 acres or 9.74 acres per 1,000 city residents. The city’s playground and athletic assets include Bill Quake Memorial, Forest Trail, Haller, J Rudy York, Jensen, Terrace, Waldo E Evans Memorial, Wedgewood, and Woodway Parks as well as the facilities located on the city of Marysville, Marysville, and Arlington School Districts. Generally, the existing picnic, playground, sports court, and field sites are evenly distributed within a 5 or 10-minute walk of all residential neighborhoods and if maintained and developed to capacity will be able to sustain the future population even as the ratio declines to 6.07 acres per 1,000 city residents. Recreation centers/pools Recreation centers and pools are indoor and outdoor facilities providing swimming pools, physical conditioning, gymnasiums, arts and crafts, classrooms, meeting rooms, kitchen facilities, and other spaces to support public recreation programs for school-age children (but not students), teens, senior, and other resident populations on a full-time basis. For the purposes of this PRMP Plan, recreation centers and pools are defined to include all city, county, school-owned, non-profit, and private facilities that are available for public use. The desired service area for a recreation center/pool depends on the extent of the recreational program services to be offered in the facility and the building's potential size and site relationships. Community oriented recreation centers may include a variety of competitive swimming pools, gymnasiums, or courts along with/or in place of a series of public classroom and meeting facilities, a teen and/or senior center and/or a daycare facility providing indoor building space. E-6 Arlington PRMP Plan And/or a community-oriented recreation center may be jointly sited with an athletic park or playground, or in association with a library, civic center, or other public meeting facility. Community oriented recreation centers may be jointly shared with school districts or a part of other city or county building complexes that serve a city or larger surrounding community area. Local recreation centers may consist primarily of a single facility use - like a classroom or gymnasium complex and/or that may be sited as a lone building oriented to a single user group - like a teen or senior center. Local recreation centers serve residents of an immediately surrounding residential area from a quarter to half- mile radius - which is the approximate service area for an elementary school. In practice, there aren’t minimum or maximum benchmarks concerning recreation and community center acreages. An agency should provide sufficient land considering the availability of other public, nonprofit, and private facilities within the local area. NRPA RCO Arlington All total All proposed Arlington does not presently provide any indoor recreation facilities though the city leases a portion of Bill Quake Memorial Park to the Arlington Boys & Girls Club for a recreation center or 6.5 acres or 0.29 acres per 1,000 city residents. Other nonprofit agencies, including the Byrnes Performing Arts Center, Stillaguamish Pioneer Historical Museum, Stilly Valley Center, and Still Valley Health Connections as well as private operators including the Stillaguamish Athletic Club and Gleneagle Golf Course own and operate a variety of indoor meeting, performing, and classroom-oriented facilities. The existing level of service would likely exceed recreation center objectives were the inventory to include indoor space provided by Arlington School District. However, school facilities are not available for use during school hours to meet the needs of seniors, parents, or pre-school children and the private clubs do not provide facilities for low-income participants. The city proposes to possibly develop 1.0 acres for a community center that could include meeting and classroom facilities for day use activities and will be sufficient to meet all future needs even as the ratio declines to 0.21 acres per 1,000 city residents. Special use facilities Special use facilities are single-purpose recreational activities like arboreta, display gardens, nature centers, golf courses, marinas, zoos, conservatories, arenas, outdoor theaters, and gun and archery ranges. Special use facilities may include areas that preserve, maintain, and interpret buildings, sites, and other objects of historical or cultural significance, like museums, historical landmarks, and structures. Special use areas may also include public plazas or squares or commons in or near commercial centers or public buildings. There aren’t benchmarks concerning the development of special use facilities - demand being defined by opportunity more than a ratio. Nor are there minimum or maximum facility or site sizes - size being a function of the facility rather than a separately established design standard. /1,000 Na Na 0.11 0.11 0.07 Arlington provides 2.5 acres or a ratio of 0.11 acres per 1,000 city residents consisting of Centennial, Lebanon, and Legion Parks. Arlington does not plan to provide any additional special use facilities other than proposed improvements to existing park sites such as Terrace and J Rudy York Parks which should be sufficient to meet future needs. Support facilities Support facilities include administrative office space, indoor meeting rooms, shop and equipment maintenance yards, plant nurseries, and other buildings and sites necessary to service the park system that are located outside of park properties. Arlington PRMP Plan E-7 There aren’t benchmarks concerning the development of support use facilities - demand being defined by functional operating requirements more than a ratio. Nor are there minimum or maximum facility or site sizes - size being a function of the type of facility space required and whether the facility space is shared with other jurisdiction support functions rather than a separately established design standard. Arlington provides 7.1 acres of support facilities or 0.31 acres per 1,000 residents of supporting facilities including the Public Works facility located next to Haller Park and the City Maintenance Yard located in the MIC Subarea – park administrative offices are in Arlington City Hall. The current acreage is sufficient to meet current and projected needs. Facility requirements Number of parks The RCO does not have a benchmark for the number of parks that should be provided per 1,000 residents. According to National Recreation & Park Association (NRPA) 2020 NRPA Agency Performance Review agencies serving populations under 20,000 provided a 1 park per 1,300 residents or 0.77 parks per 1,000 persons. NRPA RCO Arlington All total All proposed Arlington currently provides 15 parks including resource conservation sites, resource, linear trails, athletic fields and playgrounds, recreation and community centers, special uses, and maintenance facilities or a ratio of 0.66 parks per 1,000 city residents. The city, Marysville, Marysville School District, county, and HOAs provide a total of 34 parks or 1.49 parks per 1,000 city residents The plan could add 1 more park site for a community center that will provide geographic distribution of local parks within a 5 and 10-minute walking distance of all residential neighborhoods within the city and UGA that will realize a ratio of 0.96 parks per 1,000 city residents which is more than sufficient to meet future needs. Community gardens There is no behavioral data with which the participation model can project community garden or pea patch requirements – meaning specific areas set aside for the planting of ornamental and vegetable plots. According to the National Recreation & Park Association (NRPA) 2020 Agency Performance Review agencies serving populations under 20,000 provided a community garden per 7,914 residents or 0.13 garden sites per 1,000 persons in the population. Arlington currently provides Third Street Community Garden at Presidents Elementary School or a ratio of 0.04 per 1,000 city residents. The plan proposes to provide 2 additional city sponsored community garden plots at High Clover and County Charm Parks or a ratio of 0.08 gardens per 1,000 residents by 2040 which should be sufficient. Waterfront access There is no behavioral data with which the participation model can project waterfront access requirements – meaning shoreline access for fishing and swimming purposes. The NRPA does not have a benchmark for waterfront access. E-8 Arlington PRMP Plan Arlington provides waterfront access at 3 sites or 0.13 sites per 1,000 residents including Country Charm, Haller, and Stormwater Wetland Parks. The city, county, and school district provide 7 sites at Gissberg Twin, River Meadows, Twin Rivers Parks, and Post Middle School Open Space or 0.31 sites per 1,000 city residents. The current available sites provide adequate access to the waterfronts if each site were developed to capacity even though the ratio of waterfront sites will decline to 0.19 sites per 1,000 residents by 2040. Kayaking, canoeing, and rowboat There are no participation model standards for kayak or canoe hand-carry launch sites or facilities. The NRPA does not have a benchmark for kayaking or hand-carry craft launching facilities. /1,000 Na Na 0.13 0.22 0.14 Arlington provides non-motorized or hand-carry craft (kayak, canoe, or rowboat) access sites at Country Charm, Haller, and Stormwater Wetland Parks. The city and county provide 5 sites including River Meadows and Twin Rivers Parks or 0.22 sites per 1,000 city residents. The current available sites provide adequate hand carry access to if each site were developed to capacity even though the ratio of waterfront sites will decline to 0.14 sites per 1,000 residents by 2040. Boating There are no participation model standards for boat launch ramps, floating platforms or docks, and boat moorage slips. The NRPA does not have a benchmark for boating facilities. Arlington provides 1 boat launch ramp at Haller Park or a ratio of 0.04 launch ramps per 1,000 residents. No other agency provides boat launch ramps on this stretch of the Stillaguamish River. This should be sufficient if the Haller Park boat launch ramp were upgraded even though the ratio will decline to 0.03 launch ramps per 1,000 residents by 2040. Camping There are no participation model standards for tent and RV campsites. The NRPA does not have a benchmark for boating facilities. Campsites 0 20 32 /1,000 Na Na 0.00 0.88 0.87 Arlington does not provide campsites though Snohomish County provides 14 tent campsites and 6 yurts at River Meadows Park or a ratio of 0.88 campsites per 1,000 residents. Arlington may develop 12 campsites at County Charm Park for a total of 32 campsites or a ratio of 0.87 per 1,000 residents by 2040. Picnic tables and shelters Participation model projections indicate public agencies should be providing a ratio of 1.77 picnic tables and benches of all types (open and under shelters) per every 1,000 residents then gradually decline to 1.67 as the population ages. The NRPA does not have a benchmark for picnic facilities. NRPA RCO Arlington All total All proposed Arlington PRMP Plan E-9 Arlington presently provides 30 picnic tables and 4 picnic shelters or a ratio of 1.32 picnic tables and 0.18 picnic shelters per 1,000 residents at Bill Quake Memorial, Forest Trail, Haller, J Rudy Memorial, Jensen, Legion, Stormwater Wetland, Terrace, and Wedgewood Parks. The city, Marysville, county, and HOAs provide 59 picnic tables and 8 picnic shelters or a ratio of 2.59 tables and 0.35 shelters per 1,000 residents. In general, Arlington parks do not provide enough tables and shelters within a 5 to 10-minute walking distance in a distributed pattern across the city and UGA. Consequently, another 12 picnic tables and 2 picnic shelters will be provided at Country Charm and High Clover Park for a ratio of 1.94 tables and 0.27 shelters per 1,000 residents to meet future population growth, distribute facilities across the city, meet group facility user needs, and resident interests by 2040. Park and multipurpose trails Participation model projections indicate public agencies should be providing a ratio of 0.15 miles of walking or hiking trails within existing parks or in a separated multipurpose trail corridor per every 1,000 city residents. The NRPA does not have a benchmark for trails per 1,000 residents. NRPA RCO Arlington All total All proposed Parks 3.7 8.0 8.0 Arlington presently provides 3.7 miles of park trails and 9.2 miles of multipurpose trails or a ratio of 0.16 miles or park trails and 0.40 miles of multipurpose trails per 1,000 residents including the city’s portion of Centennial and all the 188th Street Connector, Eagle/Stormwater Wetland, Kruger Park, River Crest, Zimmerman Hill Climb, and Airport Trails. All agencies combined provide 8.0 miles of park trails and 66.2 miles of multipurpose trails or a ratio of 0.35 miles of park trails and 2.90 miles of multipurpose trails per 1,000 residents including the rest of the Centennial and all of Whitehorse Trails. An additional 22.7 miles of multipurpose trail or a ratio of 2.43 miles per 1,000 residents will be added when the proposed multipurpose trail network will extend the Airport, Centennial, and other existing trails to connect with parks, schools, and the downtown throughout the city by 2040. Off-leash dog parks There are no RCO participation model standards for off-leash dog parks or trails. According to National Recreation & Park Association (NRPA) 2019 NRPA Agency Performance Review all agencies provided 0.0226 dog parks per 1,000 persons in the population. NRPA RCO Arlington All total All proposed Arlington provides a designated off-leash dog park in Stormwater Wetland Park or a ratio of 0.04 per 1,000 residents. Marysville provides a dog park in Strawberry Fields Athletic Complex or a ratio of 0.08 dog parks per 1,000 residents. Off-leash dog parks are unique facilities reserved exclusively for pet exercise, training, and social interaction. Generally, such facilities cannot be shared with other park activities. Off-leash dog trails may be shared with limited other trail activities if the volumes are relatively low, and the animals are well trained. An additional dog park or off-leash area could be in Country Charm Park or a ratio of 0.08 dog parks per 1,000 residents by 2040. Separately, Arlington may consider designating some portions of park trails for shared off-leash dog use where shared use will not detract from other users or create hazards between dogs. E-10 Arlington PRMP Plan Playgrounds The participation model projections indicate public agencies should be providing a ratio of 0.60 playgrounds and tot lots of all types per every 1,000 residents then gradually decline to 0.53 playgrounds as the population ages. According to National Recreation & Park Association (NRPA) 2019 NRPA Agency Performance Review agencies serving populations of 20,000-49,999 provided 0.56 playgrounds and tot lots per 1,000 persons. Arlington presently provides 9 playgrounds or a ratio of 0.39 playgrounds per 1,000 residents at 9 city parks including Bill Quake Memorial, Forest Trail, Haller, J Rudy York, Jensen, Terrace, Waldo E Evans Memorial, Wedgewood, and Woodway Parks. All public and private agencies combined including elementary schools, provide 26 covered and uncovered playgrounds or a ratio of 1.14 playgrounds per 1,000 residents. All public and private agency facilities combined provide a significant inventory to provide for playground activities assuming the school facilities are available for public use and located in safe and secure areas for after school activities. However, the present supply is not evenly distributed throughout the city or UGA to provide equal access to all city neighborhood areas. Additional playgrounds and play areas will be provided in 3 parks including Country Charm, High Clover, and Smokey Point Parks or a ratio of 0.82 playgrounds per 1,000 residents by 2040. Skateboard courts and pump tracks There are no RCO participation model standards for skateboard courts or skate dots or climbing walls - or similar rollerblade or in- line skating activities. According to National Recreation & Park Association (NRPA) 2019 NRPA Agency Performance Review all agencies provided 0.02 skateparks per 1,000 persons. Skate 1 1 7 Arlington provides a skateboard park or skate facility at Bill Quake Memorial Park or a ratio of 0.04 per 1,000 residents. No other agency provides skateboard facilities within the city or UGA. The demand for these facilities will increase to meet the needs of younger age residents for beginner, experienced, and some competitive or advanced activities at locations distributed across the city and adjacent to developed areas where skateboarders are now using unauthorized public and private properties for this activity. At least 6 skateboard fixtures or ramps or “skate dots” should be installed across the city in Forest Trail, High Clover, J Rudy Memorial, Jensen, Terrace, and the Rockery Parks or a ratio of 0.19 skateboard options per 1,000 residents by 2040. In addition, a “Pump Track” or a circuit of rollers, banked turns, and features designed to be ridden completely by riders "pumping"— generating momentum by up and down body movements, instead of pedaling or pushing should be developed at Jensen Park or a ratio of 0.03 tracks per 1,000 residents by 2040 to meet the growing interests of this emerging youth activity. Outdoor basketball/sports courts Participation model projections indicate public agencies should be providing a ratio of 0.10 basketball/sports courts of all types per every 1,000 residents and then gradually decline to a ratio of 0.09 as the population ages. According to National Recreation & Park Association (NRPA) 2019 NRPA Agency Performance Review agencies serving populations of 20,000-49,999 provided 0.10 basketball and 0.04 multiuse or sports courts per 1,000 persons.

However, these facilities are not evenly distributed across the city and currently improved only for basketball. Consequently, the existing courts should be reconfigured into sports courts to accommodate basketball, pickleball, and volleyball and 4 more sports courts should be added at Bill Quake Memorial, High Clover, Jensen, and Wedgewood Parks for a ratio of 0.44 courts per 1,000 residents by 2040. Tennis/pickleball courts – in/outdoor Participation model projections indicate public agencies should be providing a ratio of 0.24 tennis/pickleball courts per every 1,000 residents then gradually decline to 0.22 as the population ages. According to National Recreation & Park Association (NRPA) 2019 NRPA Agency Performance Review agencies serving populations of 20,000-49,999 provided 0.23 outdoor tennis courts per 1,000 persons. However, neither standard effectively accounts for the growing use and popularity of pickleball, particularly for older age groups. NRPA RCO Arlington All total All proposed Arlington does not provide tennis courts though the school district and HOAs provide 10 tennis courts or a ratio of 0.44 tennis courts per 1,000 residents. Pickleball overlays will be added to the existing and proposed sports court, particularly at city parks, to reflect the growing interest in this activity. Pickleball overlays will be added at Forest Trail, J Rudy York, and Terrace Parks sports courts and incorporated into new sports courts at Bill Quake Memorial, High Clover, Jensen, and Wedgewood Parks for a ratio of 0.19 pickleball courts per 1,000 residents by 2040. Soccer/lacrosse fields Participation model projections indicate public agencies should be providing a ratio of 0.32 competition or regulation soccer/lacrosse fields per every 1,000 residents then gradually decline to 0.29 as the population ages. The projections do not estimate youth or practice field requirements. According to National Recreation & Park Association (NRPA) 2019 NRPA Agency Performance Review all agencies provided 0.39 rectangular competition fields for soccer and lacrosse and 0.08 multipurpose synthetic and overlay fields per 1,000 persons or 0.47 fields in total.

All agencies combined including Snohomish County and Arlington School District provide 17 youth and 1 regulation fields or a ratio of 0.75 youth and 0.08 regulations fields per 1,000 residents. The supply includes many un-improved school fields that can provide safe or functional practice use let alone regulation game fields for youth or adult play. These fields should be improved with drainage, irrigation, grass, or turf surfaces, and possibly lighting on some fields to provide adequate and safe practice and competition events. An additional 6 youth fields should be developed in a complex of multipurpose rectangular fields at County Charm Park to meet local youth and practice needs and regional competition games for a ratio of 0.63 youth baseball fields by 2040. Swimming pool Participation model projections indicate public agencies should be providing a ratio of 541 square feet of swimming pool area or 0.04 of 13,454 square feet of an Olympic sized swimming pool per every 1,000 residents declining to 503 square feet as the population ages. According to National Recreation & Park Association (NRPA) 2019 NRPA Agency Performance Review all agencies provided 0.03 outdoor swimming pools per 1,000 persons.

Recreation centers There are no comparable participation model data with which to project demand for indoor recreation center facilities. According to National Recreation & Park Association (NRPA) 2019 NRPA Agency Performance Review all agencies provided 0.03 recreation centers per 1,000 persons. NRPA RCO Arlington All total All proposed Arlington PRMP Plan E-13 Arlington does not provide gymnasium facilities though the Arlington School District and the Arlington Boys & Girls Club provide 5 youth and 4 adult or regulation gymnasiums or a ratio of 0.22 youth and 0/18 adult gyms per 1,000 residents. The youth gymnasiums are school cafeteria facilities that may not all be playable for league games by youth-aged teams. Most of the gymnasium inventory is in public schools that are not available for use by the public during daytime and some evening hours or in the Boys & Girls Club that is not available for adults. Existing facilities may not be sufficient to provide public access to recreational facilities by retired persons, at-home mothers, or workers during school hours. Therefore, a community/recreation center may be developed by the city to provide physical conditioning and a gymnasium for adult day and evening use. Community centers There is no comparable RCO participation model data with which to project demand for public indoor community center facilities. According to the National Recreation & Park Association (NRPA) 2019 NRPA Agency Performance Review all agencies provided 0.03 community centers per 1,000 persons or 1,612 square feet where an average community center is 53,725 square feet.

Golf There are no participation model standards with which to project museum requirements nor does the NRPA have a benchmark. Gleneagle Golf Course provides 18 holes of golf, driving range, pitching and chipping area, putting green, pro shop, and a restaurant for a ratio of 0.79 holes per 1,000 residents. The facility is sufficient to meet future needs even as the ratio declines to 0.49 holes per 1,000 residents by 2040. Support facilities There are no RCO participation model standards with which to project supporting administrative office, equipment and shop maintenance yards, and plant nursery requirements. The NRPA does not have a benchmark for park supporting facilities. Sq ft 13,148 13,148 13,148 Arlington provides 7.1 acres and 13,148 square feet of support facilities from the Public Works Maintenance Yard and Operations Center or 0.31 acres and 577 square feet per 1,000 residents. The facilities should be sufficient to meet present and future needs even as the ratio declines to 359 square feet per 1,000 residents by 2040. Future growth implications The Washington State Office of Financial Management (OFM) and the Arlington Community Development Department expect the population of the city within the urban growth area will increase from 22,800 persons in 2022 to an estimated 36,584 persons by the year 2050 – or by 13,784 or 60% more persons. This forecasted population increase will create significant requirements for all types of parks, recreation, and open space lands and facilities in the city especially within the downtown area scheduled for higher density development. The population forecasts do not include expected increases in regional tourists and users who also frequent city parks, recreational facilities, trails, and open spaces.

The continuation of the city's existing level-of-service (ELOS) could require an expenditure of $52,563,614 by the year 2050 simply to remain current with present standards - not accounting for any maintenance, operation, or repair costs. The approximate cost of sustaining the city's existing level-of- service (ELOS) standard would be equal to about $3,813 per every new person added to the city's population or about $10,067 for every new housing unit. This assumes Arlington would continue to maintain the same ratio of parklands and facilities for the future population that the city had in the past. Composite PLOS (Proposed level-of-service) requirement 2022- 2050 2022 Supply 2050 Add’l 2050 Cost Land acres 172.9 173.9 $ 850,000 Facility units 14,749 29,165 $ 61,238,856 Total cost $ 62,088,856 Arlington PROS cost $ 42,103,127 Under the proposed level-of-service (PLOS) for all park land and facilities in the city, the forecasted population increase will create a city-wide proposal for an additional 1.0 acres of land and 29,165 facility units (square feet, courts, fields, etc.) by the year 2050. This assumes Arlington would supplement the existing inventory as described within this chapter rather than simply extending the same ratios into the future. The realization of the proposed level-of-service (PLOS) could require a total of $62,088,856 by the year 2050 - not accounting for any maintenance, operation or repair costs. Based on the project proposals described in the plan chapters, Arlington’s parks, recreation, and open space (PROS) share (not including multipurpose trails to be built on city right-of-way by Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) funds) of the cost would be $42,103,127 or 68%. Built encroachments However, if these proposals are not realized soon the present trend of increasing developments may:  Encroach upon - or preclude the preservation and public accessibility of the more sensitive and appealing environmental sites, particularly those proposed for cross city trail corridors and additional sensitive land preservations along riparian corridors and shorelines, and  Develop - or otherwise preclude the development of suitable lands for playgrounds, picnic shelters, waterfront access, and other neighborhood facilities. Forcing city residents to:  Use crowded - picnic areas, playgrounds, community centers, and hike and bike on crowded trails,  Commute to play - at overcrowded existing facilities in the city and/or organized recreational programs may have to be reduced, and  Commute to use - available facilities in other areas of the city, particularly out of Arlington and/or to other jurisdictions, parks and/or programs may have to be curtailed to prevent severe overcrowding conditions in the facilities that do provide such services. Such actions would be to the detriment of city residents who have paid the costs of developing and operating these facilities. E-16 Arlington PRMP Plan Financial implications These levels of facility investment may not be solely financed with the resources available to Arlington if the city pursues an independent delivery approach or uses traditional methods of funding. Arlington will not be financially able to develop, manage, and maintain a comprehensive, independent park, recreation, and open space system using only traditional financing methods considering the needs projected. These needs require a citywide financing approach by Arlington and where appropriate in partnership with Arlington School District and Snohomish County, as well as proposed nonprofit or for-profit partners. A citywide approach may use a combination of shared user fees, excise taxes, joint grant applications, impact fees, and voter approved property tax levies to maintain and improve facilities in the face of continued city population increases. Arlington PRMP Plan E-17 E-18 Arlington PRMP Plan Arlington PRMP Plan E-19 E-20 Arlington PRMP Plan Arlington PRMP Plan E-21 E-22 Arlington PRMP Plan Arlington PRMP Plan E-23 E-24 Arlington PRMP Plan Arlington PRMP Plan F-1 Appendix F: Finances An analysis was accomplished of recent financial trends in Arlington and the impact federal and state program mandates, revenue sharing, and the city's urbanization have on the discretionary monies available for park, recreation, and open space. The analysis also reviewed trends in Arlington revenues and the affect alternative revenue sources may have on financial prospects. Revenue and expenditure trends - general government Arlington’s annual general governmental expenditures are derived from the combination of general, special revenue, debt service, and enterprise funds. General fund The General Fund is derived from property and sales taxes, licenses and permits, intergovernmental revenues including state and federal grants, service charges and fees, fines and forfeitures, and other miscellaneous revenues. General funds are used to finance most government operations including staff, equipment, capital facility, and other requirements.  Property tax - under Washington State’s constitution cities may levy a property tax rate not to exceed $3.60 per $1000 of the assessed value of all taxable property within incorporation limits. The total of all property taxes for all taxing authorities, however, cannot exceed 1.0% of assessed valuation, or $10.00 per $1,000 of value. If the taxes of all districts exceed 1.0% or $10.00 amount, each is proportionately reduced until the total is at or below the 1.0% limit. In 2001, Washington State law was amended by Proposition 747, a statutory provision limiting the growth of regular property taxes to 1.0% per year, after adjustments for new construction. Any proposed increases over this amount are subject to a referendum vote. The statute was intended to control local governmental spending by controlling the annual rate of growth of property taxes. In practice, however, the statute can reduce the effective property tax yield to an annual level far below a city's levy authorization, particularly when property values are increasing rapidly. Property tax rates Year Assessed value Levy rate Levied property taxes 2019 $2,779,067,708 1.526 $4,242,206 Source: 2019 Financial Statement In 2019, for example, Arlington’s effective regular property tax rate had declined to $1.526 per $1,000 of assessed value because of the 1% lid limit on annual revenue or about 42% of what the city is authorized to assess.  Sales tax - is the city's largest single revenue source and may be used for any legitimate city purpose. However, the city has no direct control over the taxing policy of this source of revenue. The sales tax is collected and distributed by the state and may fluctuate with general economic and local business conditions.  Utility and other taxes – are collected from the charges assessed on all city utilities including electric, telephone, garbage, telecommunications cable, natural gas, gambling, vehicle fees, admissions, leasehold excise, and other taxes. The utility taxes are collected by the city and may fluctuate depending on what infrastructure upgrades each utility is paying to update utility systems and operations.  Licenses and permits – includes revenues generated from business and occupational licenses and taxes, operating, and building permits. Generally, these fees are used to pay for the inspections, processing, and other charges necessary to perform supporting services.  Intergovernmental revenue – includes state and federal grants or pass-through revenues, usually earmarked for specific programs, as well as funds from Arlington to finance improvements the city wishes to accomplish. F-2 Arlington PRMP Plan Intergovernmental revenue can be significant, depending on the program, Arlington competitiveness, and the extent to which the program is adequately funded at the state and federal levels. To date, however, Arlington has not received any significant federal or state grant for recreation, park, or open space acquisition or development. Given present economic conditions, Arlington should not depend on grants as a viable or major source of financing for facility acquisition and development over the short term.  Charges for services – includes revenue generated to pay for garbage, landfill, utility, and other operating services provided by the city or a city concession or licensee including the following recreation and swimming pool programs.  Fines and forfeits – include monies generated from business fines, code violations, traffic fines, property forfeitures, and other penalties. General Fund Revenue Sources 2022 Taxes $ 14,439,914 77.1% Licenses and permits 303,552 1.6% Total revenue $ 18,732,662 100.0% Source: 2022 Budget – does not include beginning fund balance General Fund Expenditures 2019 General government $ 3,108,079 20.9% Public safety 9,706,250 65.2% Utilities 13,727 0.1% Transportation 0 0.0% Natural and economic environment 1,992,795 13.4% Total $ 14,894,497 100.0% Source: 2019 Financial Statement Special revenues Special revenues are derived from state and local option taxes dedicated to specific expenditure purposes, such as the motor vehicle tax, motor excise tax, real estate excise tax, motel and hotel tax, public art, criminal justice, paths and trails, convention center, and the like. Some special revenues may be used to finance limited capital facilities, such as roads or parks, where the local option allows – such as the local real estate excise tax (REET) and/or under special circumstances Motel/Hotel or Tourism Taxes or Stormwater Utility Taxes where a project or program can be expensed as a direct extension or beneficiary of these accounts. Debt service funds Debt service funds are derived from a dedicated portion of the property tax or general fund proceeds to repay the sale of general obligation (voted) and Councilmanic (non-voted) bonds. Both types of bonds may be used to finance park facility improvements – but not maintenance or operational costs.  Councilmanic (limited or non-voted) bonds - may be issued without voter approval by the Council for any facility development purpose. The total amount of all outstanding non-voted general obligation debt may not exceed 1.5% of the assessed valuation of all city property. Limited general obligation bonds must be paid from general governmental revenues. Therefore, debt service on these bonds may reduce the amount of revenue available for current operating expenditures and the financial flexibility the Council may need to fund annual budget priorities. For this reason, Councilmanic bonds are usually only used for the most pressing capital improvement issues. Arlington PRMP Plan F-3 Total debt capacity Arlington debt capacity – 31 December 2019 2019 assessed valuation = $2,779,067,708 Debt type Limit* Amount Councilmanic bond 1.5% $ 41,686,015 Total allowable 8.5% 236,220,755 Total available * Percent of the total estimated assessed valuation. ** Includes installment contracts and debt service funds. General Obligation (GO), Utility, and Park/Open Space Bonds require 60% voter validation where voter turnout equals at least 40% of the total votes cast in the last general election.  Unlimited general obligation (GO) bonds - must be approved by at least 60% of resident voters during an election that has a turnout of at least 40% of those who voted in the last state general election. The bond may be repaid from a special levy, which is not governed by the 1.0% statutory limitation on the property tax growth rate. Total indebtedness as a percent of the assessed valuation that may be incurred by limited and unlimited general obligation bonds together, however, may not exceed: 2.5% - if indebtedness exceeds 1.5% is for general purposes, 5.0% - if indebtedness exceeds 2.5% is for utilities, and 7.5% - if indebtedness exceeds 5.0% is for parks and open space development. Monies authorized by limited and unlimited types of bonds must be spent within 3 years of authorization to avoid arbitrage requirements unless invested at less than bond yield. In addition, bonds may be used to construct but not maintain or operate facilities. Facility maintenance and operation costs must be paid from general governmental revenue or by voter authorization of special annual or biannual operating levies or by user fees or charges. Enterprise funds Enterprise funds are derived from the user fees and charges levied for utility operations including water and sewer, storm drainage, regional water, solid waste, and cemetery. The enterprise revenues are used to pay operating costs, retire capital facility debt, and plan future replacement and expansion projects. Enterprise funds may be created for a park or recreation activity that has a revenue source sufficient to finance all costs. Capital improvements funding implications Generally, the city has not appropriated very much of the annual budget for capital improvements. The city has building and infrastructure construction requirements but given the declining buying power of annual city budgets, not had the capital resources available to initiate major construction projects from the general funds or non-dedicated funds accounts. The 1% statutory limit on local property tax yields combined with the sporadic and undependable nature of federal and state grants and revenue sharing prevents or discourages the city from making long-term capital investments in infrastructure necessary to support the city’s development. The 1% statutory limit on the general fund levy, severely curtails the city's ability to operate and maintain park, recreation, and open space facilities and services even if the city only utilized unlimited general obligation bonds as a means of providing capital financing. Revenue Prospects - general government Arlington could use the following options to deal with future capital needs: User fees and charges Arlington may elect to use an increasing array of special user fees, charges, and special assessments to pay facility operating and maintenance capital requirements. The user fee approach may be difficult to impose on facilities that don't have readily identifiable or chargeable users - like some passive park or trail systems. The approach may be very responsive, however, for facilities and services that have an identifiable user group receiving a direct proportional benefit for the charge – like aquatic facilities. F-4 Arlington PRMP Plan Special legislation Local government representatives can seek state enabling legislation authorizing new or special revenue sources. Senate Bill 5972 (RCW 82.46) is an example of one possible legislative solution. The 1982 bill gave city governments the option of adding an additional 0.0025% increment to the real estate excise tax (REET) for the sole purpose of financing local capital improvement projects including parks, utilities, and other infrastructure except governmental buildings. Like bonds, Senate Bill 5972 funds may not be used to finance operation and maintenance requirements. Unlimited general obligation bonds Arlington may come to depend on voter referendums as a means of financing a larger portion of the capital improvement program, since unlimited obligation bonds are not paid from the property tax subject to the 1.0% limitation. Voter approved capital improvements may be more representative of actual resident priorities than some other methods of validating capital expenditures, and will at the least, ensure referendum submittals provide widespread benefits. However, bond revenue cannot be spent for maintenance and operational issues – and bond referendums must be approved by a margin over 60% of the registered voters who participated in the last election. General levy rate referendums Proposition 747, the statutory provision limiting the growth of regular property taxes to 1.0% per year, can be waived by referendum approval of a simple (50%) majority of Arlington’s registered voters. Voters can be asked to approve a resetting of the property tax levy rate that would adjust the amount of revenue the city can generate. The new total revenue that can be generated by a resetting of the rate would be subject to the same 1.0% limitation, however, and the total amount of revenue and the resulting property tax rate would start to decline again in accordance with the Proposition. However, the adjusted rate and revenue could finance specific capital improvement projects – or programs that involve construction, maintenance, and operations aspects that a majority of the voters are willing to pay for under the adjusted rate. The resetting of the rate can be permanent, subject to the provisions of Proposition 747. Or temporary, where the rate is adjusted until a specific amount of revenue has been generated to finance a project or program – whereupon the rate reverts to the original or a specified amount defined in the referendum. Expenditures – PRMP functions Parks, recreation, and open space property development and programming services are provided by the Community Engagement Director while the Public Works Department provides maintenance. General Fund PRMP Expenditures 2022 PRMP Percent Athletic field maintenance 15,444 34.9% Park benches 500 1.1% Total $ 44,194 100.0% Source: 2022 Budget The 2022 budget provides $44,194 for miscellaneous PRMP expenditures not including staff of which holiday/community events (38.5%), athletic field maintenance (22.6%), and park amenities (22.6%) were the major items. Ideally, Arlington should recover as much of its PRMP planning and operational costs as possible to avoid using General Fund property taxes or other city discretionary monies or Arlington will not have sufficient funds left with which to fund critical annual and cyclical maintenance, repair, and replacement of existing facilities, and acquisition and development of new parks lands and facilities required to offset population growth and raise level of service standards. Arlington PRMP Plan F-5 Project expenditures as of 31 December 2019 Jensen Farm Waterline Repair $ 294,863 Haller Park Splash Pad 831,224 Terrace Park Renovation 82,602 Total $ 1,208,689 Source: 2019 Financial Statement Note: Does not include refinancing of $3,200,000 for purchase of Country Charm Park (Graafstra property). As of 31 December 2019, the city spent $1,208,689 on park projects for the Jensen Farm, Haller Park Splash Pad, and Terrace Park Renovations mostly from General Funds. Ideally, Arlington should be able to leverage grants, donations, and other sources to finance projects other than relying on General Funds accounts. Revenues – PRMP functions Parks, recreation, and open space revenues may be provided by a combination of allocations from the General Fund and well as special revenue sources including the Path & Trails, Real Estate Excise Tax (REET), Parks Impact Fees, and grants. Possible PRMP revenue sources 2022 Public Art Fund $ 123,500 Lodging Tax Fund 111,000 Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) 1 503,000 Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) 2 508,000 Capital Facilities/Building Fund 55,000 Park Improvement 12,480 Total $ 1,335,480 Source: 2022 Operating Budgets Note: Public Art and Lodging Tax Funds may be used for projects and programs other than at park sites and facilities. Note: REET 1 may be used for PRMP but is primarily defined to support roads and other infrastructure, while REET 2 is defined to be primarily PRMP functions. Funding implications Arlington has acquired a quality park, recreation, and open space inventory using land donations, grants, project development mitigation, impact fees, and a healthy allocation of property and sales tax derived general funds. However, these sources will not continue to yield enough money with which to initiate major facility development and/or with which to accomplish major cyclical maintenance requirements. In addition, considering the 1.0% statutory limit on local property tax yield's effect on discretionary funding in general, the city can no longer depend entirely on traditional revenue sources as a means of funding capital improvement projects. Arlington must devise new financial strategies for the development and maintenance of facilities if it is to meet the park, recreation, and open space interests of city residents. Revenue Prospects – PRMP public sources The following options could be used to deal with future Arlington PRMP capital needs: Washington State grants Washington State, through the Resource Conservation Office (RCO - formerly the Interagency for Outdoor Recreation (IAC)) funds and administers several programs for parks and recreation, and non- motorized transportation and trails purposes using special state revenue programs.  Endangered Species Act (ESA) - a Department of Ecology administered water quality program provides grants for up to 75% of the cost of water quality/fish enhancement studies. Referendum 39 monies can be applied to park and open space developments that propose to restore, construct, or otherwise enhance fish producing streams, ponds, or other water bodies. F-6 Arlington PRMP Plan  Washington Wildlife Recreation Program (WWRP) – provides funds for the acquisition and development of conservation and recreation lands. The Habitat Conservation Account of the WWRP program provides funds to acquire critical habitat, natural areas, and urban wildlife categories. The Outdoor Recreation Account of the WWRP program provides funds for local parks, state parks, trails, and water access categories.  Capital Projects Fund for Washington Heritage – initiated on a trial basis in 1999, and since renewed, provides funds for the restoration and renovation projects for historical sites and buildings by local governments and nonprofit agencies. The Heritage Resource Center (HRC) administers the program.  Boating Facilities Program – approved in 1964 under the state Marine Recreation Land Act, the program earmarks motor vehicle fuel taxes paid by watercraft for boating-related lands and facilities. Program funds may be used for fresh or saltwater launch ramps, transient moorage, and upland support facilities.  Aquatic Lands Enhancement Act (ALEA) - initiated on a trial basis in 1985, and since renewed and expanded, uses revenues obtained by the Washington Department of Natural Resources from the lease of state-owned tidal lands. The ALEA program is administered by the RCO for the development of shoreline related trail improvements and may be applied for up to 50% of the proposal.  Washington State Public Works Commission - initiated a program that may be used for watercraft sanitary pump-out facilities.  Youth Athletic Facilities (YAF) – provides grants to cities, counties, and qualified nonprofit organizations for the improvement and maintenance of existing, and the development of new athletic facilities. The Community Outdoor Athletic Fields Advisory Council (COAFAC) of the RCO administers the program.  Non-Highway & Off-Road Vehicle Activities Program (NOVA) – provides funding to develop and manage recreation opportunities for users of off-road vehicles and non-highway roads. An allocation (1%) from the state Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax (MVFT) and off-road vehicle (ORV) permit fees fund the program. NOVA funds may be used for the planning, acquisition, development, maintenance, and operation of off-road vehicle and non-highway road recreation opportunities.  Firearms and Archery Range Recreation Program (FARR) – provides funds to acquire, develop, and renovate public and private nonprofit firearm and archery training, practice, and recreation facilities. The program is funded from a portion of the fees charged for concealed weapons permits. Federal grants Federal monies are available for the construction of outdoor park facilities from the National Park Service (NPS) Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF). The Washington State Resource Conservation Office (RCO) administers the grants.  NPS (National Park Service) grants - usually do not exceed $150,000 per project and must be matched on an equal basis by the local jurisdiction. The RCO assigns each project application a priority on a competitive statewide basis according to each jurisdiction's need, population benefit, natural resource enhancements and a number of other factors. In the past few years, project awards have been extremely competitive as the federal government significantly reduced the amount of federal monies available to the NPS program. The state increased contributions to the program over the last few years using a variety of special funds, but the overall program could be severely affected by pending federal deficit cutting legislation. Applicants must submit a detailed comprehensive park, recreation, and open space plan to be eligible for NPS funding. The jurisdiction's plan must demonstrate facility need and prove that the jurisdiction's project proposal will adequately satisfy local parks, recreation, and open space needs and interests. Due to diminished funding, however, RCO grants have not been a significant source of project monies for city or other local jurisdictions in recent years.  TEA21 (Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century - can be used to finance on and off-road non-motorized trail enhancements along major and minor arterial collector roads or sometimes, within separate trail corridors. The program was adopted in 1993 and is administered by the Regional Arlington PRMP Plan F-7 Transportation Organization on behalf of the US Department of Transportation. Applicants must demonstrate the proposed trail improvements will increase access to non-motorized recreational and commuter transportation alternatives.  National Recreational Trails Program (NRTP) – is the successor to the National Recreational Trails Act (NRFTA). Funds may be used to rehabilitate and maintain recreational trails that provide a backcountry experience. In some cases, the funds may be used to create new “linking” trails, trail relocations, and educational programs.  Boating Infrastructure Grant Program (BIG) – supports development and renovation of areas for non-trailer-able recreational boats over 26 feet, and related support elements on US navigable waters. Funds may be used to produce and distribute information and educational materials. The federal program compliments the state-funded Boating Facilities Program (BFP) administered for smaller vessels. Environmental impact mitigation – subdivision regulations Arlington subdivision policies can require developers of subdivisions in the city to provide suitably designed and located open spaces, woodland preserves, trail systems, tot lots, playgrounds, and other park or recreational facilities. Such facilities may include major components of the park or recreational system that may be affected by the project's location or development. Arlington may also consider requiring developers to provide acceptable long-term methods of managing and financing maintenance requirements. Attractive management systems could include:  Ownership by a private organization - like a tennis, swimming or golf club, who assumes responsibility for all maintenance responsibilities and costs,  Ownership by a homeowners or common property owners’ association (HOA) - who may contract maintenance responsibilities and assess property owner's annual costs, or  Dedication of property - to Arlington or the Arlington School District who assumes maintenance responsibilities using local city or school funds. Arlington should not accept title and maintenance responsibility unless the land or facility will be a legitimate park or recreation or open space element that may be supported using public financing. Arlington may be contracted by any of the other agencies to provide or oversee a maintenance contract on the owner's behalf provided all Arlington costs are reimbursed by an approved method of local financing. Growth impact fees Arlington adopted a park growth impact fee in accordance with the Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA). A park impact fee applies to all proposed residential and industrial developments in the city as a means of maintaining existing park, recreation, and open space levels-of-service (ELOS). The ordinance estimates the impact each residential development project has on park, recreation, and open space facilities within the project's local service zone and makes provisions for setting aside the resources, including lands or monies, necessary to offset the project's local or neighborhood and community or regional facility impacts. The Arlington-Marysville MIC Subarea Plan estimates the impact of each industrial development project has on trail and open space facilities within the project’s local service zone and makes provisions for improvements that are necessary to offset the project’s local or neighborhood and community or regional facility impacts. The dollar value of the project's park, recreation, and open space impact can be offset by the project developer of an amount equal to the combined facility acquisition and development costs that Arlington would incur to maintain the same existing level-of-service (ELOS). A developer may be allowed to choose any combination of land or cash mitigation measures including credit for any park or recreation facilities to be included within the project development. The Arlington ordinance considers the following when determining the F-8 Arlington PRMP Plan types of mitigation measures or development credits to be made available to the developer:  Will the facility - be available to the public,  Have a designated owner - responsible for continuing operation and maintenance (the owner may be a common property owner's association, school district or other agency), and  Correspond to and not exceed or vary from - the types of park, recreation, and open space facilities that are being impacted (a developer could provide but should not able to take full credit value for facilities for which there is no shortage, impact or local interest). Land contributions can be accepted in lieu of monies if the lands will be suitable sites for future facilities. Land and monies accumulated under the proposed ordinance must be invested within a reasonable time of impact assessment or be returned to the contributing developer. Arlington conducts periodic program reviews with residents, user groups, school district, and other agencies to decide the most efficient and representative way of delivering the facilities mitigated by the ordinance. Alternative delivery methods include:  Acquisition of suitable sites - in conjunction with other public or school facilities including title transfer if other public or school agencies enter into special agreements assuming development, operation, and maintenance responsibilities and costs,  Development of facilities - on other public or school sites if other public or school agencies enter into agreements assuming future operation and maintenance responsibilities and costs, or  Any other alternative - including development, operation or maintenance proposals by user groups or private concessionaires or developers that provide a viable facility in accordance with the park, recreation, and open space strategies outlined. Facility user fees and charges Arlington could charge an array of special user fees, charges, and special assessments to pay facility operating and maintenance capital requirements. Proposals to recover recreation program costs could be augmented with additional or higher user fees on picnic shelters, athletic courts and fields, meeting rooms, and other facilities. Arlington could also increase the number of activities subject to user fees and charges and use the proceeds to purchase land, develop, operate, and maintain facilities where all costs are reimbursed by the revenue obtained. Essentially, Arlington would become a facility developer/operator providing whatever facilities or services the market will support from user revenue. User fees have and could be used to provide facilities for park and recreation activities whose profit margins are too low to sustain commercial operations or whose benefiting user group may extend beyond city boundaries. Possible user fee financed facilities could continue to include recreational vehicle parks and tent campgrounds, and any other facility where demand is sizable enough to warrant a user fee financing approach. In essence, the market determines which facility's revenues equal costs, and thereby, which programs Arlington would provide on a direct costs/benefit basis. While important, this source of finance will likely never pay full costs for all programs, or any operation, maintenance, or development costs. Some programs designed for youth and family activities may never generate fees large enough to finance full costs and will require Arlington to determine to what extent the public benefits merit the subsidized fee revenues. The user fee approach may also be difficult to impose on facilities that don't have readily identifiable or chargeable users - like some passive park or trail systems. The approach may be very responsive, however, for facilities and services that have an identifiable user group receiving a direct proportional benefit for the charge. Special legislation – Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) Local government representatives can seek state enabling legislation authorizing new or special revenue sources. Senate Bill 5972 (RCW 82.46) is an example of one possible legislative solution. RCW 82.46 authorizes local governments to enact up to 0.25% of the annual sales for real estate for capital facilities. The Growth Management Act authorizes another or 2nd 0.25% for capital Arlington PRMP Plan F-9 facilities. Revenues must be used solely for financing new capital facilities, or maintenance and operations at existing facilities, as specified in the capital facilities plan. An additional option 3rd REET is available under RCW 82.46.070 for the acquisition and maintenance of conservation areas if approved by a majority of voters of a county. The first and second REET may be used for the following capital facilities:  The planning, acquisition, construction, reconstruction, repair, replacement, rehabilitation, or improvement of streets, roads, highways, sidewalks, street and road lighting systems, traffic signals, bridges, domestic water systems, and storm and sanitary sewer systems, or  The planning, construction, repair, rehabilitation, or improvement of parks and recreational facilities. In addition, the second REET may be used for the following:  The acquisition of parks and recreational facilities, or  The planning, acquisition, construction, repair, replacement, rehabilitation, or improvement of law enforcement facilities, and the protection of facilities, trails, libraries, administrative and judicial facilities, and river and/or floodway/flood control projects and housing projects subject to certain limitations. Like bonds, REET funds may not be used to finance operation and maintenance requirements. Unlimited general obligation (GO) bonds Arlington may use voter referendums as a means of financing a larger portion of the capital improvement program, since unlimited obligation bonds are not paid from the property tax subject to the 1.0% limitation. Voter approved capital improvements may be more representative of actual resident priorities than some other methods of validating capital expenditures, and will at the least, ensure referendum submittals provide widespread benefits. However, bond revenue cannot be spent for maintenance and operational issues – and bond referendums must be approved by a margin over 60% of at least a turnout of 40% of the registered voters who participated in the last election. General levy lid lift referendums Proposition 747, the statutory provision limiting the growth of regular property taxes to 1.0% per year, can be waived by referendum approval of a simple (50%) majority of Arlington’s registered voters. Voters can be asked to approve a resetting of the property tax levy rate or of approving a special purpose limited duration (typically 6-9 years) dedicated property tax levy that would adjust the amount of revenue Arlington can generate. The new total revenue that can be generated by a resetting of the rate or of approving a special dedicated and limited duration levy would be subject to the same 1.0% limitation, however, and the total amount of revenue and the resulting property tax rate would start to decline again in accordance with the Proposition. However, the adjusted rate and revenue could finance specific capital improvement projects – or programs that involve construction, maintenance, and operations aspects that a majority of voters are willing to pay for under the adjusted rate or a specially approved levy. The resetting of the rate can be permanent, subject to the provisions of Proposition 747, or temporary, where the rate is adjusted until a specific amount of revenue has been generated to finance a project or program – whereupon the rate reverts to the original or a specified amount defined in the referendum. Metropolitan Park district (MPD) (SB 2557) In 2002, the state legislature authorized the establishment of metropolitan park districts (MPD) as special units of government that may be independent of any involvement with a city, county, or any other local public agency or jurisdiction. Metropolitan Park districts may provide recreational facilities that are specific to the district’s boundaries in return for the district residents’ agreement to pay the special development, operation, and maintenance costs utilizing special financing devices. Metropolitan Park districts must be initiated by local government resolution or citizen petition following hearings on feasibility and F-10 Arlington PRMP Plan costs studies of the proposed district’s facility development or operation costs. The proposal must ultimately be submitted for voter approval (50%) including all provisions relating to any special financing agreements. The voters must initially approve the formation of the district, and may designate existing elected officials, or a body appointed by existing elected officials or elect district commissioners or officers solely responsible for park and recreation policy. Voters must also approve the establishment of a continuous levy as a junior taxing district – compared with 3-year levies under a recreation service district to provide maintenance, repair, operating costs, and facility acquisition and development projects. Metropolitan Park districts can be flexible and used to provide local or citywide recreational facilities in the same variety of custom service choices with the exception that the financing levy may be as a junior taxing district with a continuous levy. The Tacoma Metropolitan Park District was established in 1909 and is the largest and oldest recreation park district in the State of Washington. Seattle was the most recent and authorized the City Council to perform as the Metropolitan Park District Commissioners. Revenue Prospects – PRMP private Special use agreements Special property agreements can often be used instead of property purchases to secure public use rights for land or property at no cost or a nominal fee, particularly where the possible public use is of benefit to the private landowner. Some forms of special use agreements can provide favorable tax benefits if the use agreement can be shown to have an assigned value. Arlington could expand the use agreement concept to include complete development, operation, or maintenance responsibilities. Package lease agreements will usually provide more effectively maintained facilities than possible where Arlington must staff specialized, small work crews. Sometimes package lease agreements covering use and maintenance aspects may be the only way of resolving an equitable agreement with the private ownership. This may include trails on utility corridors where the ownership may prefer to control development and maintenance activities, and Arlington may prefer to avoid any implied responsibility or liability for the utility worthiness that Arlington's maintenance of a trail system could imply. Public/private service contracts Private market skills and capital may be employed in a variety of ways including the use of public/private services contracts where a private party can be contracted to operate and maintain a facility for a fixed fee cost. Service contracts can be very efficient where the activities are small, scattered in location, seasonal, expert, or experimental. Service contracts are also relatively easy to initiate or terminate if area demand fails to provide sufficient use or revenue to justify continued operation. Service contracts may be very flexible and can include agreements with the county, school district or local user groups who can or would be interested in sustaining the activity on a subsidized or sweat-equity basis in exchange for the facility. Public/private concessions Arlington could lease a portion of a site or facility to a private party in exchange for a fixed fee or a percentage of gross receipts. The private operator assumes operation and maintenance responsibilities and costs in exchange for a profit. For certain types of facilities, such as enterprise fund account facilities like a golf course, campground, marina, indoor tennis courts, or community center Arlington's portion of the profits may be used to pay facility development and/or operation and maintenance costs at the same or for similar facility developments. Arlington may save considerable monies on concessions where the activities are specialized, seasonal, experimental, or unproven. Concessions can be easily initiated, provide direct user benefit/cost reimbursements, and relieve Arlington of a capital risk should market or user interest fail to materialize to at least break-even levels. Arlington PRMP Plan F-11 Concessionaires could operate a wide variety of park and recreational facilities including boating and bicycle rentals, special group and recreational vehicle campgrounds, athletic field and court facilities, and swimming pools and beaches, among others. Public/private joint development ventures Arlington can enter into an agreement with a private or public developer to jointly own or lease land for an extended period. The purpose of the venture would be to allow the development, operation, and maintenance of a major recreational facility or activity in exchange for a fixed lease cost or a percentage of gross receipts. The developer assumes development, operation, and maintenance responsibilities, costs, and all market risks in exchange for a market opportunity providing a profitable return not otherwise available. Arlington realizes the development of a facility not realized otherwise in exchange for a low minimum capital return and no or very little capital risk. Joint development agreements represent an ultimate benefit/cost resolution that may also provide public revenue that Arlington could use for other development opportunities. Examples include the possible joint development on Arlington lands of recreational vehicle campgrounds, seminar retreats, special resorts, swimming pools and water parks, golf courses, and gun and archery ranges, among others. Self-help land leases There are instances where an activity is so specialized in appeal or of a service area so broad in scope that it cannot be equitably financed using public funds. Specialized user groups should be provided with options for developing or maintaining facilities in ways that account for equitable public cost reimbursements. Examples include the use of land leases where Arlington may lease land at low or no cost where a user group or club assumes responsibility for the development, operation, and maintenance of the facility. The club could provide volunteer help or use club finances to develop, operate and maintain the facility as a means of meeting user benefit/cost objectives. Land lease agreements could accommodate organized athletics like soccer, baseball, football, softball, and rugby; or very specialized facilities like shooting ranges, archery fields, OHV trails, and ultra- light aircraft parks, among others. Self-help contract agreements Arlington can purchase land, develop, operate, and maintain a specialized facility under a negotiated contract agreement where a special interest group agrees to defray all costs in addition to or in lieu of a user fee as a means of meeting user benefit/cost objectives. The agreements can be quite flexible and could contract the city, school district, the user group, another public agency or a private operator to be developer/operator. Contract agreements could accommodate a range of more expensive special purpose facility developments including high quality athletic competition facilities for league organizations; and specialized facility developments like shooting ranges and OHV trail systems, or historical or children’s museums, or railroad train excursions when and where the user organization can provide financial commitments. PRMP funding strategies Using the strategies described above, PRMP funding sources should generally be matched to specific needs to avoid duplication and take advantage of each fund's specific possibilities. For example: Program services Fees and charges should be used to finance program services to the maximum extent possible and practical to provide cost/benefit equities and efficiencies. Property tax levy funds should be used to cover shortages where fees cannot be readily collected, as in most special events, or where fees may not be easily raised to cover all operating costs for programs Arlington deems to have special social benefits to the public. Facility operation, maintenance, and minor construction Property tax levy funds should be used to pay operation and maintenance costs for facilities and activities that cannot be financed with fees and charges or financed with other funding methods. Property tax levy funds are flexible and can be adjusted to meet annual programming variations or priorities. F-12 Arlington PRMP Plan Where appropriate, maintenance and operation funds for facilities that are impacted by urban growth should be reimbursed or provided by Arlington and the Arlington School District subject to the pending resolution of an inter-local agreement on planning and services. The funds collected from the excise tax on real estate sales (REET) should be used to finance minor construction improvements to existing properties. The money should also be used to help purchase sites when opportunities arise that cannot await other, less flexible funding methods. Like property tax levy funds, the monies collected from REET are flexible and can be adjusted to meet annual programming needs or sudden changes in priorities or opportunities. Recreational facility development Recreational facilities and athletic fields are important to Arlington's programs but satisfy relatively small proportions of the population compared with parks and trails. Bonds, levies, and other fixed forms of financing should be used to pay for the development of parks, trails, and other facilities that residents assign as high priorities. Recreational facilities with low to moderate priorities should be financed with property tax levy funds, REET, and other more flexible sources of financing. Arlington should investigate the possibility of implementing a wide range of joint recreational facility developments with the Arlington School District. Such ventures could finance acquisition and development costs using open space and school facility development bonds, or conservation futures and REET - and Arlington could finance operating and maintenance using service charges and property tax levy funds. Joint venture agreements could better match costs/benefits with users, avoid duplication, save cost, increase service, and allow each agency to make the best use of funds. Parks, natural areas and trail development Parks and trails benefit the largest percentage of the population and will probably be easier to obtain voted bond or property tax levy issues for than other more specialized uses. General obligation bond or special property tax levy packages could finance the high priority conservancies and trail acquisition and development proposals contained within the development plan chapter of this document. When necessary and appropriate, Councilmanic bonds could be used to purchase sites when opportunities require fast action, or to match possible Washington State RCO state or federal grants for park and trail developments. Special developments Some proposed projects represent unique facilities that may not be easily financed with conventional funding methods. Arlington should explore the opportunities that may be available for the development and funding of joint public/private facilities with private property owners or developers. Joint ventures could save costs, reduce program requirements, and provide city residents with services and facilities not available otherwise. Growth impact fee mitigation Continued residential development within Arlington's service area will severely stress existing Arlington facilities and services. Consequently, Arlington should institute growth impact fee mitigation measures in accordance with the Washington Growth Management Act to preserve unique sites and require land developers to help finance facility developments offsetting project impacts. Financial strategies 2022-2028 An Arlington financial strategy for the next 6-year period (2022- 2028) must generate sufficient revenue to provide recreational program services, maintain and renovate facilities, and implement priority projects chosen from the 20-year (CFP) capital facility program. Three alternative financial strategies illustrate the choices available Arlington under an integrated funding strategy. The strategies combine possible scenarios concerning general funds from property taxes, recreation program cost recovery, residential and industrial Arlington PRMP Plan F-13 growth impact fees, REET, and approval of a property tax levy lid lift. The forecasts are conservative, based on the average trends indicated in capital facility program fund expenditures by Arlington during the 2022-2028 budgeted year but are adjusted to account for expected inflationary increases in the tax and revenue base valuations over the 6-year period. All alternatives would finance $20,047,512 in combined park administration, recreation programs, maintenance, deferred repairs and replacements, and proposed level-of-service (PLOS) facility improvements over the 6-year period with: Proposed 6-yr expenditures Administration $ 680,191 Recreation and public arts 241,468 Parks maintenance 459,129 Repair & replacement (R&R) 4,347,634 PLOS additions/enhancements (17% of total) 8,114,151 Total $ 13,842,573 Alternative 1 proposed 6-year revenues General Fund allocation $ 4,978,051 REET 1&2 (0%) 0 Property tax levy 853,607 Total $ 13,842,573 Annual cost for tax levy Per median $323,200 value $ 2.38  Alternative 1 would generate revenues as follows:  General Funds property tax – if the annual revenue per year because of proposition 747 or the 1% tax limitation would remain relatively constant,  Recreation program cost recovery – would recover an average 50% of all program costs,  Residential park impact fee – would capture 40% of $3,813 cost per person of maintaining Arlington’s existing level-of-service (ELOS) standards through additional population increases,  Industrial park impact fee – would capture 40% of $4,187 cost per non-resident CIC employee of maintaining Arlington’s existing level-of-service (ELOS) standards through additional employment increases,  Arlington Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) – which captures REET 1 and 2 of $0.00125 per $1.00 of sales value for each REET would be utilized 0% for park and recreation purposes,  Supplemental special purpose (limited duration) or property tax levy lid lift – would be sought to finance remaining costs necessary to realize Arlington’s portion of the combined proposed level-of-service (PLOS) standard equal to an annual property tax levy assessment of $2.38 per year for 6 years for a median house value of $323,200. F-14 Arlington PRMP Plan Alternative 2 proposed 6-year revenues General Fund allocation $ 4,978,051 REET 1&2 (0%) 0 Property tax levy (131,051) Total $ 13,842,573 Annual cost for tax levy Per median $323,200 value $ (0.37) Alternative 2 would retain recreation cost recovery at 50%, increase the residential and industrial growth impact fees to 45%, allocate 0% of REET 1&2 over the 6-year period to reduce the balance remaining to $131,051 meaning the other options would generate more money than necessary to fund the proposed level of service (PLOS) without a levy requirement. Alternative 3 proposed 6-year revenues General Fund allocation $ 4,978,051 Rentals 12,924 Recreation cost recovery (50%) 120,734 Residential Growth Impact Fee (50%) 7,884,544 Total $ 13,842,573 Annual cost for tax levy Alternative 3 would retain recreation cost recovery at 50%, increase the residential and industrial growth impact fees to 50%, allocate 0% of REET 1&2 over the 6-year period to reduce the balance remaining to $1,115,708 meaning the other options would generate more money than necessary to fund the proposed level of service (PLOS) without a levy requirement. Financial strategies 2022-2042 An Arlington financial strategy for the next 20-year period (2022- 2042) must generate sufficient revenue to provide administration, recreation programs, park maintenance, renovate facilities, and implement priority projects chosen from the 20-year (CFP) capital facility program. The same 3 alternative financial strategies defined under the 6-year, or 2022-2028 strategy illustrate the choices available Arlington under an integrated funding strategy. The 20-year strategies combine the same possible scenarios concerning recreation program cost recovery, residential and industrial growth impact fees, REET, and approval of a property tax levy lid lift. Total expenditures for the 20-year or 2022-2042 time periods would be $97,456,426 of the proposed level-of-service (PLOS). All alternatives would finance $97,456,426 in combined park administration, recreation programs, park maintenance, park deferred repairs and replacements, and Arlington’s share of proposed composite level-of-service (PLOS) facility improvements over the 20-year period with: Proposed 20-yr expenditures PLOS additions/enhancements 69,609,003 Total $ 97,456,426 Alternative 1 proposed 20-year revenues General Fund allocation $ 79,533,440 Recreation cost recovery (50%) 586,921 Residential park impact fee (40%) 21,025,452 Total $ 97,456,426 Annual cost for tax levy Arlington PRMP Plan F-15 Alternative 1 would generate revenues as follows:  General Funds property tax – if the annual revenue per year as a result of proposition 747 or the 1% tax limitation would remain relatively constant,  Recreation program cost recovery – would retain an average 50% of all programs costs,  Residential park impact fee – would capture 40% of $3,813 cost per person of maintaining Arlington’s existing level-of-service (ELOS) standards through additional population increases,  Industrial park impact fee – would capture 40% of $4,187 cost per non-resident CIC employee of maintaining Arlington’s existing level-of-service (ELOS) standards through additional employment increases,  Arlington Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) – which captures REET 1 and 2 of $0.00125 per $1.00 of sales value for each REET would continue to be utilized 0% for park and recreation purposes,  Supplemental special purpose (limited duration) or property tax levy lid lift – would not have to be sought to finance remaining costs necessary to realize Arlington’s portion of the combined proposed level-of-service (PLOS) standard since the other options would generate $8,920,541 more than necessary to meet the proposed level of service (PLOS) requirement. Alternative 2 proposed 20-year revenues General Fund allocation $ 79,533,440 Recreation cost recovery (50%) 586,921 Residential park impact fee (45%) 23,653,633 Industrial park impact fee (45%) 5,885,048 REET 1&2 allocation (0%) 0 Property tax levy (12,202,616) Total $ 97,456,426 Annual cost for tax levy Per median $323,200 value $ (2.18) Alternative 2 would retain recreation cost recovery at 50%, increase the residential and industrial growth impact fees to 45%, allocate 0% of REET 1&2 over the 6-year period to generate a surplus of $12,202,616 more than necessary to finance the proposed level-of- service (PLOS) requirement. Alternative 3 proposed 20-year revenues General Fund allocation $ 79,533,440 Property tax levy (15,484,692) Total $ 97,456,426 Per median $323,200 value $ (2.76) Alternative 3 would retain recreation cost recovery at 50%, increase the residential and industrial growth impact fees to 50%, allocate 0% of REET 1&2 over the 6-year period to generate a surplus of $15,484,692 more than necessary to finance the proposed level-of- service (PLOS) requirement. Implications Alternatives 1-3 are all feasible for a 6 and 20-year Arlington financial strategy to realize the combined administration, programs, maintenance, repair and replacement (R&R), and proposed level of service (PLOS) projects outlined in this plan. A choice between the alternatives depends on how the City Council would prefer to balance allocations between the General Fund, recreation cost recovery, residential and industrial park impact fees, REET 1&2, and a property tax levy or levy lid lift.

The information provided herein has been carefully considered and is accurate to the best of our knowledge. A. BACKGROUND 1. Name of proposed project, if applicable: Parks, Recreation & Open Space Element and Arlington Parks & Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) and Comprehensive Plan Chapter 7 Update 2. Date checklist prepared: January 2022 3. Agency requesting checklist: City of Arlington Department of Parks & Recreation 238 North Olympic Avenue Arlington, WA 98223 4. Proposed timing or schedule (including phasing, if applicable): The Arlington Parks & Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) provides the foundation for the acquisition and development of park and recreation facilities within and recreation programming for the city of Arlington. It includes a discussion of facility needs over the next 20 years and presents a 6-year capital facilities program. The 6-year CFP identifies the costs for implementation and the potential source(s) of funding. Individual projects will undergo additional SEPA review as necessary prior to master planning, design, and construction. 5. Do you have any plans for future additions, expansions, or further activity related to or connected with this proposal? If yes, explain. Yes. The PRMP will be reviewed and adopted as an element of the overall city Comprehensive Land Use Plan. In addition, the PRMP will likely be updated every 5 to 6 years in conjunction with updates to the City Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The Capital Facilities Plan (CFP) will likely be updated annually and guide future budget discussions. Specific proposals will be developed for individual planned park projects. 6. List any environmental information you know about that has been prepared, or will be prepared, directly related to this proposal. The PRMP relies on previous, community-based plans to ensure consistency and avoid duplication. Recent plans include the 2019 Arlington Comprehensive Plan and Capital Facilities Plan (currently being updated) and the 2016 Arlington Parks & Recreation Master Plan (PRMP). Additional environmental studies will be conducted on various projects as they are proposed for development. These additional environmental studies could include wetland assessments and/or delineations, archaeological site surveys, slope stability studies, and project specific SEPA compliance. 7. Do you know whether applications are pending for governmental approvals of other proposals directly affecting the property covered by your proposal? If yes, explain. The PRMP’s 6-Year Capital Facilities Plan (CFP) identifies projects that have received budget appropriations but that have not been fully implemented. These are mostly neighborhood and community parks enhancements that are funded or will be funded by the local general fund and/or grants. Arlington Parks &, Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) SEPA Checklist: Page 2 of 15 8. List any government approvals or permits that will be needed for your proposal, if known. The PRMP must be reviewed and adopted by the Arlington City Council by ordinance. In addition, various approvals or permits could be required for individual park projects at the time of implementation. These may include federal, state, and local fisheries hydraulics, grading, shoreline, floodplain, endangered species act, and/or wetlands permits and approvals. Some projects may involve the submittal of grant applications and similar documents that would be approved by the Arlington City Council. 9. Give a brief, complete description of your proposal, including the proposed uses and the size of the project and site. There are several questions later in this checklist that ask you to describe certain aspects of your proposal. You do not need to repeat those answers on this page. (Lead agencies may modify this form to include additional specific information on project description.) This project involves adoption of the PRMP by the Arlington City Council. The PRMP gives an overview of parks and recreation planning in the Arlington urban growth area - identifying a system of parks, open spaces, trails, and special facilities. The plan identifies benefits of the parks system, lists park goals, objectives, and policies, and proposes a 6-20-year schedule of park projects. The purpose of the plan is to identify a park system throughout the Arlington area that addresses citizens’ needs and interests and environmental concerns. The plan focuses on providing urban parks and facilities within walkable distances of residential areas. The PRMP requires minor updates to Chapter 7 – Parks, Recreation and Open Space Element of the Comprehensive Plan to utilize the new master plan. B. ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS 1. SOILS a. General description of the site (underline one): flat, rolling, hilly, steep slopes, mountainous, other . The planning area for this project covers the City of Arlington, located in the northwestern part of Snohomish County, Washington. The Arlington urban growth area has moderate topographic changes with steep bluffs overlooking the Stillaguamish River and rolling hills on plateaus 100 to 200 feet above sea level. Flood plains and riparian areas associated with Portage, Prairie, Kruger, Quilceda, Eagle, and March Creeks occupy a portion of the UGA. b. What is the steepest slope on the site (approximate percent slope)? Since the plan identifies general locations for many projects rather than specific park locations, the steepness of specific park projects cannot be identified at this time. c. What general types of soils are found on the site (for example, clay, sand, gravel, peat, muck)? If you know the classification of agricultural soils, specify them, and note any prime farmland. The USDA soils classification system identifies a wide variety of soil types for Snohomish County. These soil types may be classified under two major associations for the Arlington area. These are Alderwood and Everett. Since the plan identifies general locations for many projects rather than specific park locations, soil type(s) of specific projects cannot be identified at this time. d. Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the immediate vicinity? If so, describe. Since the plan identifies general locations for many projects rather than specific park locations, soil stability of particular projects cannot be identified at this time. Arlington Parks &, Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) SEPA Checklist: Page 3 of 15 e. Describe the purpose, type, and approximate quantities of any filling or grading proposed. Indicate source of fill. Specific plans for earthmoving and fill will be developed as individual parks or trails are proposed. f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? If so, generally describe. The development of parks or trails could cause some amount of erosion during clearing and/or construction. Detailed engineering plans will be prepared to avoid and/or minimize impacts to potentially unstable slopes, and erosion control plans will be submitted when construction of the specific projects are proposed. g. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after project construc- tion (for example, asphalt or buildings)? Park improvements may include some impervious surfaces. Fully developed parks typically have hard-surface paths and play areas, as well as parking areas and restroom structures. Trail corridors may be paved or built with a compacted, impervious surface. Specific areas affected will be determined during master planning and design of specific sites. h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth, if any: Detailed design plans will be submitted when specific parks are proposed, including drainage and erosion control plans. Geotechnical studies will be completed for projects within potentially unstable slope areas. All designs will comply with or exceed the standards of the city erosion control ordinances. 2. AIR a. What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal (i.e., dust, automobile, odors, industrial wood smoke) during construction and when the project is completed? If any, generally describe and give approximate quantities, if known. Dust and automotive exhaust would likely be released during construction of parks. However, emissions will be temporary, lasting only for the duration of construction. Dust is expected to be minimal and localized at the point of active construction. b. Are there any off-site sources of emissions or odor that may affect your proposal? If so, generally describe. Since the plan identifies general locations for many projects rather than specific projects, off- site sources of emissions or odor cannot be identified. c. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to air, if any: The use of dust suppressants, such as periodic watering or watering of traveled areas, will occur on a routine basis to minimize particulate matter during construction. In addition, equipment not in use will be shut off, and all trucks transporting materials capable of producing fugitive dust will use appropriate covers. Disturbed soil areas with the potential for generating fugitive dust will be stabilized with mulch and vegetation cover following construction. Specifications will be included in the proposed project construction contract provisions to ensure all regulations related to the control of fugitive dust will be met. In addition, dust control measures will be implemented in conformance with appropriate erosion control measures and other applicable regulations. Arlington Parks &, Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) SEPA Checklist: Page 4 of 15 3. WATER a. Surface: (1) Is there any surface water body on or in the immediate vicinity of the site (including year- round and seasonal streams, saltwater, lakes, ponds, wetlands)? If yes, describe the type and provide names. If appropriate, state what stream or river it flows into. The plan proposes park improvements, trails, natural areas, and greenspaces, and/or habitat areas along water bodies in the Arlington urban area including portions of Portage, Prairie, Kruger, Quilceda, Eagle, and March Creeks. In addition, wetland areas that might be impacted by proposed parks will be identified when specific park locations are proposed. Wetland assessments and/or delineations will be conducted within these areas prior to site-specific planning as appropriate. (2) Will the project require any work over, in, or adjacent to (within 200 feet) the described waters? If yes, please describe and attach available plans. Several projects identified in the PRMP are located adjacent to or in close proximity to water features, such as the proposed Portage, Kruger, Quilceda, and March Creek trails. Park and trail improvements will be designed to minimize impacts to water features, shorelines, and other sensitive resources. Final design for specific projects would be subject to review under SEPA, Shoreline Management, and other federal, state, and local permit and approval/review processes. (3) Estimate the amount of fill and dredge material that would be placed in or removed from surface water or wetlands and indicate the area of the site that would be affected. Indicate the source of fill material. Individual trail segments or other park improvements could require grading, leveling, filling, and related activities. Detailed engineering plans, including quantities, will be prepared at the time of site-specific planning. (4) Will the proposal require surface water withdrawals or diversions? Give general description, purpose, and approximate quantities, if known. The development of individual trail segments or other park improvements may involve some level of surface water diversion. Detailed engineering plans will be prepared at the time of site-specific planning, and efforts will be made to minimize impacts to surface water resources. (5) Does the proposal lie within a 100-year flood plain? If so, note the location on the site plan. The plan identifies trail corridors and parks with segments that will likely lie within the 100- year flood plain. Detailed locations will be identified when specific parks or trail segments are proposed for development. Most parks and trail segments will not involve structures or fill that would cause flood plain impacts; however, where park or trail development might cause impacts, all federal, state and local flood plain provisions will be met. (6) Does the proposal involve any discharges of waste materials to surface waters? If so, describe the type of waste and anticipated volume of discharge. None anticipated, other than surface water runoff. b. Ground: (1) Will ground water be withdrawn, or will water be discharged to ground water? Give general description, purpose, and approximate quantities, if known. Since the plan identifies general locations for many projects rather than specific projects, the withdrawal or discharge of groundwater cannot be identified at this time. Arlington Parks &, Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) SEPA Checklist: Page 5 of 15 (2) Describe waste material that will be discharged into the ground from septic tanks or other sources, if any (for example: domestic sewage; industrial, containing the following chemicals…; agricultural; etc.). Describe the general size of the system, the number of such systems, the number of houses to be served (if applicable), or the number of animals or humans the system(s) are expected to serve. Public restrooms may be constructed within parks and at trail entry points in some unserved locations. Portable/pumped and self-composting facilities for human waste are two alternatives, along with permanent/ pumped, septic, or sewer facilities. c. Water Runoff (including storm water): (1) Describe the source of runoff (including storm water) and method of collection and disposal, if any (include quantities, if known). Where will this water flow? Will this water flow into other waters? If so, describe. Surface water runoff will be generated from impervious parking areas, trail surfaces, restroom facilities, and shelters. Detailed drainage plans will be submitted at the time of site- specific planning. (2) Could waste materials enter ground or surface waters? If so, generally describe. No specific development plans exist that would facilitate wastewater entering ground or surface waters. The future use of septic systems would require extraordinary circumstances and would be regulated by the Snohomish County Public Health Department. d. Proposed measures to reduce or control surface, ground, and runoff water impacts, if any: Detailed drainage plans will be submitted at the time of site-specific planning. Public restroom facilities will comply with all local and state requirements. 4. PLANTS a. Check or circle types of vegetation found on the site:  Deciduous tree: alder, maple, cottonwood, other  Evergreen tree: fir, cedar, other  Shrubs  Grass  Pasture  Crop or grain  Wet soil plants  Water plants  Other types of vegetation b. What kind and amount of vegetation will be removed or altered? Since the PRMP proposes development of park and trail facilities, vegetation is likely to be removed, but detailed plans are unavailable at this time. Clearing, grading, construction, and landscaping details will be addressed in the site plan design. c. List threatened or endangered species known to be on or near the site. The identification of threatened or endangered plant species will occur through site-specific development proposals. d. Proposed landscaping, use of native plants, or other measures to preserve or enhance vegetation on the site, if any. The PRMP proposes acquisition and development of parks and urban trails. Site plans developed at the time of facility design will consider planting programs and mitigation requirements. Special consideration will be given to the enhancement of the natural shoreline, water quality protection/enhancement, wetlands, and habitat enhancement. State and federal agencies will be consulted to identify and protect threatened and/or endangered species. Arlington Parks &, Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) SEPA Checklist: Page 6 of 15 5. ANIMALS a. Circle any birds and animals which have been observed on or near the site or are known to be on or near the site: birds: hawk, heron, eagle, songbirds, other: mammals: deer, bear, elk, beaver, other: fish: bass, salmon, trout, herring, shellfish, other: b. List any threatened or endangered species known to be on or near the site. There are currently several threatened or endangered species that may be found in Snohomish County and in the Arlington UGA. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) Species of Concern (SOC) List identifies animal species designated by the State as Endangered, Threatened, Sensitive, or Candidates for listing including bald eagle, chinook salmon, chum salmon, coho salmon, and steelhead trout. The presence of any endangered, threatened, or sensitive species will be confirmed during the planning and design phase of each individual project. Projects developed under the PRMP will be designed to avoid and minimize impacts to state and federally listed species to the greatest extent practicable. Projects involving unavoidable impacts to listed species or habitat will be permitted in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. c. Is the site part of a migration route? If so, explain. Yes, the planned area is part of migration routes for the following species: Anadromous Fish. The Puget Sound provides highly important habitat for a variety of migratory fish species including salmon and steelhead populations. Snohomish County contains numerous rivers and streams that have historically supported these species. Each of these waterways continues to provide habitat to these species and the continued health and/or recovery of these waterways will be an important factor in the recovery of these species. Migratory Birds. Snohomish County is located along an avian migratory corridor known as the Pacific Flyway, which extends from the Bering Sea in Alaska along the Pacific Coast to South America. Snohomish County provides significant habitat (e.g., lakes, wetlands, floodplain, and forests) for migrating and wintering waterfowl, neotropical migrant birds, and others. Terrestrial Wildlife. Snohomish County contains numerous important wildlife corridors. These areas provide a means for wildlife movement and migration patterns between breeding and wintering areas. Primary wildlife corridors within the Arlington UGA are located within the riparian corridors associated with the area’s creeks and river. These corridors are important in that they maintain connectivity between habitat and open space areas that are located throughout the city. These corridors also often provide the only means for terrestrial wildlife to move through urban areas and other areas disturbed by development activities. d. Proposed measures to preserve or enhance wildlife, if any: Implementation of the plan will have positive long-term beneficial effects on wildlife. The PRMP proposes projects that involve acquisition of parcels for management as natural areas and open space. Acquisition and designation of such areas will act to protect and conserve environmentally sensitive areas, including habitat for sensitive plant, fish, and terrestrial wildlife species. There could be short term impacts because of the construction of some park/facility development projects. Project impacts will be assessed on a project specific basis. Construction practices best suited to minimize impacts to plant and animal species will be specified. Projects identified in the PRMP will be constructed in a manner that limits disturbance and minimizes impacts to riparian and stream habitat as much as possible. For example, construction limits will be clearly marked in the field to minimize unnecessary disturbance; in- water work will be performed during the WDFW-approved in-water work window; and areas of ground disturbance will be replanted with native species following construction. Arlington Parks &, Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) SEPA Checklist: Page 7 of 15 6. ENERGY AND NATURAL RESOURCES a. What kinds of energy (electric, natural gas, oil, wood stove, solar) will be used to meet the completed project's energy needs? Describe whether it will be used for heating, manufacturing, etc. Electrical service will typically be provided to parks, trailheads, and urban trail corridors where restrooms and safety lighting are required. Electrical service will also be provided for heating, lighting, and operating recreation facilities, such as swimming pools and activity centers. Gas, oil, and electricity will be used during construction of parks and recreation facilities. b. Would your project affect the potential use of solar energy by adjacent properties? If so, generally describe. The PRMP recommends park and trail improvements that are not anticipated to affect the potential use of solar energy by adjacent properties. c. What kinds of energy conservation features are included in the plans of this proposal? List other proposed measures to reduce or control energy impacts, if any: Not applicable. 7. ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH a. Are there any environmental health hazards, including exposure to toxic chemicals, risk of fire and explosion, spill, or hazardous waste, that could occur as a result of this proposal? If so, describe. Since the proposal is for urban parks, recreation, and open space plan, environmental health hazards associated with the proposal are not anticipated. (1) Describe special emergency services that might be required. The acquisition and development of parks, trails, and recreation facilities could affect the need for emergency services. Several factors need to be considered, including location of parks and trails, neighboring properties, number of users, user hours, types of activities, transportation systems, parking, and other support facilities. Vehicle patrol would serve parks and trails located along roadways. A trail located away from a transportation corridor may require a specialized program of patrol, such as mountain bike patrols. Park, trail, trailhead, and recreation facility design will consider provisions for emergency services and crime prevention, such as security lighting, emergency phone service, fencing, and access for emergency vehicles. (2) Proposed measures to reduce or control environmental health hazards, if any: Since environmental health hazards are not anticipated, mitigation measures are not proposed. b. Noise (1) What types of noise exist in the area which may affect your project (for example: traffic, equip- ment, operation, other)? Road systems are located throughout the urban area and will be close to many of the proposed project areas. In addition, equipment noise and truck traffic from various commercial and industrial operations and traffic and railroad noise will affect the proposed parks and trail corridors to varying degrees depending on location. Arlington Parks &, Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) SEPA Checklist: Page 8 of 15 (2) What types and levels of noise would be created by or associated with the project on a short- term or a long-term basis (for example: traffic, construction, operation, other)? Indicate what hours noise would come from the site. The PRMP recommends new park projects. Minimal temporary noise would be created at the time of construction, during normal working hours. Use of trails may trigger low level, pedestrian type noise, the frequency and level of which is difficult to predict but is anticipated to be in the same category found in any area frequented by walkers, hikers, and bike riders. Proposed parks may produce higher noise levels associated with recreation activities such as ball games. Noise impacts will be addressed in detail at the time of development review of individual park projects or trail segments to insure compatibility with adjacent land uses. (3) Proposed measures to reduce or control noise impacts, if any: Restricted hours of construction and use, along with open space buffers, landscaping, and grade changes between the parks and trail routes and adjacent property owners would be some of the measures considered to reduce or control noise impacts and will be presented in detail at the time of development review of individual parks or trail segments. 8. LAND AND SHORELINE USE a. What is the current use of the site and adjacent properties? Proposed projects in the PRMP are distributed widely throughout the city. Current use within project areas also varies. Proposed parks are, by design, located in residential areas. Trails and open space are within or near a wide range of land uses including residential, commercial, and industrial. Recreation facilities, such as swimming pools and community centers, are typically located in commercial areas, although they may also be found in residential and industrial areas. b. Has the site been used for agriculture? If so, describe. The PRMP calls for parks, trails, open space, and recreation facilities in urban areas. Most of this urban land was used historically for agricultural activities but has long since been converted to urban designations and/or uses. In a few areas, farm-related activities continue. c. Describe any structures on the site. Since the parks projects have not been designed, specific on-site structures are not known at this time. d. Will any structures be demolished? If so, what? Since the parks projects have not been designed, requirements for demolition of structures are unknown at this time. e. What is the current zoning classification of the site? Parks, open spaces, trail corridors, and recreation facilities proposed in the PRMP are located within a wide range of zoning areas, including residential and commercial. f. What is the current comprehensive plan designation of the site? Parks, open spaces, trail corridors, and recreation facilities proposed in the PRMP are located within a wide range of comprehensive plan designations. The most common designation is residential for neighborhood and community parks. g. If applicable, what is the current shoreline master program designation of the site? Shorelines-of-the-state include portions of Portage, Kruger, Quilceda, and March Creeks. Arlington Parks &, Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) SEPA Checklist: Page 9 of 15 h. Has any part of the site been classified as an "environmentally sensitive" area? If so, specify. Yes, potential parks, urban open space, greenways, and trail corridors may cover areas with various environmentally sensitive designations. These include: 100-year floodplain, Shoreline Master Program jurisdiction areas, and designated wetlands under SEPA ordinance. i. Approximately how many people would reside or work in the completed project? Not applicable. j. Approximately how many people would the completed project displace? No displacement is anticipated because of this plan. k. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce displacement impacts, if any: Not applicable. l. Proposed measures to ensure the proposal is compatible with existing and projected land uses and plans, if any: The proposed PRMP is consistent with the provisions of the existing Arlington Comprehensive Plan. The proposed plan also supports goals, objectives, and programs that have been identified in preceding updates. 9. HOUSING a. Approximately how many units would be provided, if any? Indicate whether high, middle, or low-income housing. The PRMP will not result in new housing units. b. Approximately how many units, if any, would be eliminated? Indicate whether high, middle, or low-income housing. Specific park plans have not been developed; however, no housing units have been identified for elimination in implementing the plan’s 6-year Capital Facilities Plan (CFP). c. Proposed measures to reduce or control housing impacts, if any: Since no impacts to housing are anticipated, mitigation measures are not proposed. 10. AESTHETICS a. What is the tallest height of any proposed structure(s), not including antennas; what is the principal exterior building material(s) proposed? Restrooms are typically constructed in developed parks and are considered during the design of trailheads and some special facilities. Picnic shelters are also found in parks. Fencing and interpretive signage may be planned for parks and along specific trail segments. Restrooms would be of concrete block construction, with a maximum height of 15 to 18 feet. Picnic shelters would be constructed of wood/steel and be of similar height. Fences would likely be chain link (or wood, where appropriate), up to 6 feet high. Fencing may be higher if associated with ballfields. b. What views in the immediate vicinity would be altered or obstructed? View impacts will be analyzed when specific park or trail alignments are proposed for development. Detailed plans will be prepared at the time of site-specific planning. Proposed parks and trails could offer the public greater view and access opportunities where there is currently limited or no access. Arlington Parks &, Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) SEPA Checklist: Page 10 of 15 c. Proposed measures to reduce or control aesthetic impacts, if any: With proper and sensitive design relating to landscaping, changes in grade and other mitigation measures, aesthetic impacts will be minimized. Park and trail design will minimize impacts to adjacent residents and ensure privacy with the possible use of fencing, planting, native rock, and grade changes. 11. LIGHT AND GLARE a. What type of light or glare will the proposal produce? What time of day would it mainly occur? Lighting for safety and security will be addressed in the site plan design. Lighting for evening use of athletic fields will be addressed during future site design. Use restrictions on evening use will reduce impacts to residential areas near sports facilities. b. Could light or glare from the finished project be a safety hazard or interfere with views? Lighting features will be designed to not obstruct views or interfere with traffic safety. c. What existing off-site sources of light or glare may affect your proposal? There are no off-site sources of light or glare that are anticipated to affect this proposal. d. Proposed measures to reduce or control light and glare impacts, if any: Lighting impacts will be addressed at the time of site-specific planning. Lighting systems and hardware will be designed to minimize or eliminate impacts to adjacent residential uses or transportation corridors. 12. RECREATION a. What designated and informal recreational opportunities are in the immediate vicinity? The PRMP identifies acquisition, expansion, and/or development of parks, trails, and natural areas adequate to serve the urban growth area at the standard established in the plan. b. Would the proposed project displace any existing recreational uses? If so, describe. The proposed park system will enhance and create additional recreational opportunities and provide linkages via a system of trails. Federal, state, and local regulations will require management plans to ensure protection of resources, especially in areas that support threatened, endangered, or at-risk species. For example, water-contact activities in these areas may be replaced by interpretative and viewing activities. In some cases, resource protection may require prohibiting access. c. Proposed measures to reduce or control impacts on recreation, including recreation opportunities to be provided by the project or applicant, if any: The proposed PRMP provides park facilities and recreation opportunities that help meet the public’s need to recreate. Focusing recreation activities in appropriate areas reduces the use of and potential threat to sensitive wildlife habitat. 13. HISTORIC AND CULTURAL PRESERVATION a. Are there any places or objects listed on, or proposed for, national, state, or local preservation registers known to be on or next to the site? If so, generally describe. No sites located in Arlington are on the National Register of Historic Places or the Washington State Heritage Register. However, historic preservation officials emphasize that comprehensive field investigations of archaeological sites have not been conducted, and that artifacts are probably not confined to sites already identified. b. Generally, describe any landmarks or evidence of historic, archaeological, scientific, or cultural importance known to be on or next to the site. Not applicable. Arlington Parks &, Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) SEPA Checklist: Page 11 of 15 c. Proposed measures to reduce or control impacts, if any: Preservation officials have emphasized the need for cultural resource evaluations and inventories on sites that have a greater potential for historic significance. Such surveys will be performed, as appropriate, with avoidance and/or mitigation measures to be identified and implemented on a site-specific basis. SEPA policy addressing archaeological resources would likely require an archaeological survey prior to development of most of the proposed park and trail sites. 14. TRANSPORTATION a. Identify public streets and highways serving the site and describe proposed access to the existing street system. Show on site plans, if any. The PRMP includes projects that are generally accessible from public streets and roadways. Proposed parks anticipate pedestrian access and accommodate both pedestrian and automobile access. Some facilities, such as trail corridors, have limited access points, which is desirable based on the intended use of the amenity. b. Is the site currently served by public transit? If not, what is the approximate distance to the nearest transit stop? The city is currently served by Community Transit route 220 between Arlington and Mount Vernon and Arlington and Everett. c. How many parking spaces would the completed project have? How many would the project eliminate? Parking will be provided at parks and special facilities. Limited parking may be provided at trail entry points. Natural areas will have little or no parking, except for areas intended for interpretation or that provide another amenity. d. Will the proposal require any new roads or streets, or improvements to existing roads or streets, not including driveways? If so, generally describe (indicate whether public or private). Parks and special facilities developed in the urban area may require local road improvements, such as half-street improvements on road frontage and ingress/egress improvements. These issues will be resolved during individual planning processes for each site, and through development and transportation review by public agencies. e. Will the project use (or occur in the immediate vicinity of) water, rail, or air transportation? If so, generally describe. The PRMP identifies trails along or near Portage, Kruger, March, and Quilceda Creeks, adjacent to portions of the rail corridor extending south to Marysville, and around the Arlington Municipal Airport. f. How many vehicular trips per day would be generated by the completed project? If known, indicate when peak volumes would occur. Vehicular trips will vary with site type, amenities, location, design, use policies, weather, and other factors. Site-specific vehicle trips are unknown at this time but will be assessed during site plan preparation. g. Proposed measures to reduce or control transportation impacts, if any: Implementation of the trails component of the plan will provide improved non-motorized vehicular access to employment, residential, and recreational facilities. Arlington Parks &, Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) SEPA Checklist: Page 12 of 15 15. PUBLIC SERVICES a. Would the project result in an increased need for public services (for example: fire protection, police protection, health care, schools, other)? If so, generally describe. Developing new parks and special facilities with active recreational uses will attract patrons. This will increase the likelihood that fire, police, and emergency medical services may be needed. b. Proposed measures to reduce or control direct impacts on public services, if any. The greatest sense of safety comes from the presence of public patrons utilizing the parks and trails, and from public stewardship of the parks and trails. Several measures will be considered in the planning stages of an individual project that may reduce or control perceived or potential impacts such as: hours of operation, access gates, emergency service access requirements, and environmental designs utilized for crime prevention. 16. UTILITIES a. Underline utilities currently available in the site: electricity, natural gas, water, refuse service, telephone, sanitary sewer, septic system, other. These services are generally available throughout the Arlington UGA. b. Describe the utilities that are proposed for the project, the utility providing the service, and the general construction activities on the site or in the immediate vicinity which might be needed. Trails generally require none of these services; however, portable restrooms may be used at times when trail use reaches high levels. Parks may require electricity for safety lighting and/or irrigation. Parks need water, electricity, and sewage services to operate restrooms. The service needs of recreation facilities, such as swimming pools and community centers, may vary slightly, but will typically need water, electricity, refuse, and sewage services. Specific utility needs will be addressed as individual parks, recreation facilities, or trail segments are designed and engineered. C.

SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (do not use this sheet for project actions) Because these questions are very general, it may be helpful to read them in conjunction with the list of the elements of the environment. When answering these questions, be aware of the extent the proposal, or the types of activities likely to result from the proposal, would affect the item at a greater intensity or at a faster rate than if the proposal were not implemented. Respond briefly and in general terms. 1. How would the proposal be likely to increase discharge to water; emissions to air; production, storage, or release of toxic or hazardous substances; or production of noise? The proposed PRMP identifies acquisition, development, and improvement of various types of park facilities. Among these facilities, community parks and recreation facilities have the greatest potential to cause the listed conditions. These facilities may have roadways, parking lots, and buildings with impervious surfaces that concentrate water runoff. Automobile traffic and parking may increase emissions into the air and increase noise levels. Based on facility design and vegetation, fertilizers, and other chemicals may be used during maintenance activity. Dust and automotive exhaust would likely be released during park construction. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce such increases are: Auto emissions and demand for parking at community parks and recreation facilities could be reduced through increased use of nonmotorized transportation. Implementing the proposed trail systems is a measure to reduce use of automobiles to access park facilities 2. How would the proposal be likely to affect plants, animals, fish, or marine life? The PRMP calls for the protection of the area’s most significant natural corridors as greenspace, natural areas, and/or wildlife habitat. These natural corridors include areas that provide important habitat for a variety of plants, animals, and fish, and are found both inside and outside the Arlington UGA. Construction of parks or trails in these areas would increase public access and use. Without proper facility design and management, public use and overuse can harm the value of wildlife habitat. Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants, animals, fish, or marine life are: The PRMP identifies as one of its goals the statement to “Preserve and protect significant environmental features.” Acquisition and designation of such areas will act to protect and conserve environmentally sensitive areas, including habitat for sensitive plant, fish, and terrestrial wildlife species. Short-term impacts to plants, fish, and wildlife may be avoided or reduced through appropriate design and construction practices, and through adherence to applicable local, state, and federal environmental regulations. Projects developed under the parks plan will be designed to avoid and minimize impacts to federally and state listed species to the greatest extent practicable, and projects involving unavoidable impacts to listed species or habitat will be permitted in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. The potential for impacts resulting from increased public access and overuse may be avoided by routing access away from the most sensitive areas, utilizing vegetative buffer to protect sensitive habitat, and restricting access to nesting or breeding locations during certain periods. 3. How would the proposal be likely to deplete energy or natural resources? The proposal is not expected to deplete energy or natural resources. Arlington Parks &, Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) SEPA Checklist: Page 14 of 15 Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy and natural resources are: The PRMP encourages nonmotorized transportation, which will minimize consumption of petroleum resources. In addition, the proposal encourages the preservation, appreciation, and accessibility of natural resource corridors within the Arlington UGA. 4. How would the proposal be likely to use or affect environmentally sensitive areas or areas designated (or eligible or under study) for governmental protection; such as parks, wilderness, wild and scenic rivers, threatened or endangered species habitat, historic or cultural sites, wetlands, floodplains, or prime farmlands? As noted earlier, parks and trails may be within or adjacent to areas designated as 100-year floodplain, potentially unstable slopes, wetlands, shorelines as governed by the Shoreline Management Act, archaeological or historical resources, and habitat for threatened or endangered species. The PRMP identifies acquisition and designation of these areas as greenspace, natural areas, wildlife habitat and, where appropriate, trail corridors. Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid or reduce impacts are: A thorough inventory and analysis of alternative sites will precede final park, trail and/or facility placement. This analysis will consider restrictions resulting from government regulation of wetlands, floodplains, grading, shorelines, hydraulics, and other pertinent government programs and regulations. Individual parks and trail segments will be designed to protect environmentally sensitive areas and will be subject to additional SEPA review. Methods to be used include, but will not be limited to, routing parks and trails away from the most sensitive environmental areas, providing vegetative and earth buffers to screen park and trail users from sensitive habitat features, and incorporating habitat restoration work into the overall park and trail design. Site specific details will be evaluated when individual park and trail segments are proposed for development. 5. How would the proposal be likely to affect land and shoreline use, including whether it would allow or encourage land or shoreline uses incompatible with existing plans? The PRMP supports continued public acquisition of shoreline areas for appropriate recreational uses and development of these sites in a manner that will preserve the natural characteristics of the shoreline. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce shoreline and land use impacts are: Projects proposed and implemented under the PRMP will be subject to further environmental and land use review, as appropriate, to ensure consistency with all local, state, and federal laws and regulations. 6. How would the proposal be likely to increase demands on transportation or public services and utilities? The PRMP calls for a system of neighborhood parks, community parks, trails, and recreation facilities that is designed to accommodate alternative modes of transportation. If successful, there would be a decreasing reliance on the automobile and a corresponding decline in the demands on the existing transportation system. If transportation patterns and modes do not change, new parks and facilities could increase traffic demands on existing transportation facilities. Arlington Parks &, Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) SEPA Checklist: Page 15 of 15 Implementing the PRMP may increase the need for law enforcement services. The type of law enforcement service needs are influenced by several factors, including type, size, and location of parks and trails, levels of development, neighboring properties, number of users, hours of use, transportation systems, parking, and other support facilities. Vehicle patrol would serve parks and trails located along roadways. Parks and trails located away from transportation corridors may require specialized patrols, such as the mountain bike patrols. Park, trail, and trailhead design will consider provisions for crime prevention, such as security lighting, emergency phone service, clearing and pruning landscaping, fencing, a neighborhood watch program and access for emergency vehicles. Proposed measures to reduce or respond to such demand(s) are: Proposed neighborhood parks are distributed throughout the UGA to enable walking or bicycling to them as a means to reduce demands on the transportation system. 7. Identify, if possible, whether the proposal may conflict with local, state, or federal laws or requirements for the protection of the environment. The proposed PRMP is in compliance with local, state and federal regulations, and all development of future parks and trail segments shall also comply with all local, state, and federal regulations.
