Updates on Construction and Budget from Kelly Goold, Seattle Parks Department
Timeline: still expect punchlist to be done in early June.
Park Budget: The park will be over budget. Four items may or may not be done. Listed below in order of likelihood of completion by 6/15/12:
- Lights (1st priority due to safety) - 90% likely to be installed
- Trellis (second due to main feature and ease of installation prior to grand opening) - 50% or better chance
- Rain Garden (can be done after main construction) - unlikely in first phase

While waiting for construction to start, another movie night was held in the park in July. In preparation for the anticipated fall construction start, some large trunks were donated and delivered to the site, to be used as part of the adventure trail.

Kirke Park Update, May 2011 |
|
|
|
Kelly Goold joined us and provided an update on the park’s construction. Construction will not begin until late August, at the earliest for the following reasons:
-
A fourth review for ADA requirements revealed they had to follow stricter interpretation than in projects past.
-
Play area ramp ratio slope changed. Path was graded to a gentler slope.
-
One set of benches/tables that could not be made ADA compliant was removed.
-
DPD – Parks has an exemption for grading in general, and did not apply for grading permit. Two levels of review confirmed the exemption, third review required grading permit, stating it was outside Park’s normal exemption. Parks appealed and lost.
-
Yardage for grading with new ADA changes requires a permit from the State, so additional review was needed.
Delay summary:
ADA changes +2 wks (already done)
DPD changes/new permits/review +2 wks (partially done)
Construction/bid review +6-8 wks
Safety note: Walls in the Secret Garden to be dropped to 3’ in most places – some full height left along east and south side
P-Patch Update: Residents living near the park and those on a P-Patch wait list should be receiving a post card soon with meeting dates (see this KOMO Ballard article for more info). The first date is 6/8 at 6:30pm in the park. Another meeting will be held on 6/18 at 11am in the park, rain or shine.
