1. Project Description: Please describe the project in detail. Indicate the major work to be
completed, any milestones that need to be overcome in order for the project to move forward,
and include a comparison of existing and proposed conditions.
The 2016 City of Roslyn grant request focuses on specific needs to improve tourist use and
accessibHity of forest trails, city parks, children's playground areas, dog areas, the historic Coal
Mine Trail, and the Roslyn welcome sign. The components of the project are:
1) Forest Trail Signs: Build, place and maintain directional trail signs in the forest for
both summer and winter access.
• Despite heavy use of the Roslyn Urban Forest by hikers, mountain bikers and
horse riders, there are no directional signs to indicate how the many trails
intersect. It is not unusual for tourists to enter the trail system in Roslyn and
unknowingly exit it in Cle Elum. The proposed correction is to provide directional
trail signs at the major junctures that would be visible in all seasons.
2) Improve the fa cilities of Slim Runje Field
2a) add interactive music structures in the Runje Field children's area:
• There are several major play structures in the park: a climb & slide structure for
children 4 and older; four mini-horse rides for toddlers, a swing set and some
interactive 'store'stations. The park is large and inviting and has Roslyn's only
permanent public restrooms rooms, so it is a frequent stop for visitors. An
interactive music structure would encourage families to linger longer. It also
speaks to Ros/yn's historic musical heritage and incorporates the school's
marimba culture into Roslyn.
2b) replace wood chips in the slide and climbing areas:
• The ground under all the major structures has wood chips to soften falls and
create a safe environment for play. However, they have been in place for over
five years. Because of the heavy use of the park, they are dirty and worn, and
one of the area collects water nearly all year long. A proposed correction is to
level and replace them so they will be good for another five years or more
2c) add pet waste-stations for visiting dogs in Runje and Firemen's Parks:
• Roslyn has a long-standing reputation as a dog-friendly town. Dogs are even
welcome in many businesses. While Ros/yn has no official dog park, tourists
frequently visit either Runje Field or Fireman's Park to run their dogs. Adding
dog-waste stations to each park would encourage more dog-owners to stop and
help maintain a clean environment for the human visitors.
3) Add tourist parking in Fireman's Park by modifying a portion of Fireman's Park to
allow diagonal parking along SR 903.
• On June 9, Roslyn held the first of several community meetings to access the
parking needs of the downtown core. The town has a population of just under
900 which swells to more than 3,000 during summer weekends. Tourists often
park in inappropriate or illegal areas such as in front of the Coal Miner's Memorial
and on private property. One immediate solution would be to create a couple
dozen diagonal parking areas at Fireman's park -a park three blocks from
downtown and right on SR 903.
2016 Roslyn Tourism-Related, Municipality Owned Grant
4) Historic Train tracks: funds to repaint the area where historic train tracks once ran
through the through the City of Roslyn. This project would connect the two portions
of the Coal Mines Trail-an area where people can walk from Cle Elum to Ronald
• The Northern Pacific Railway constructed a branch line between Cle Elum and
Roslyn in 1886 and on to Ronald in 1887 that transported coal as well as local
residents. This 4.7 mile trail is a popular destination for tourists in all seasons.
The train once ran directly through downtown Roslyn, so there is now a break in
the trail which makes it difficult to for tourists to discern where to go. In 2010,
Students from University of Washington in connection with the Roslyn Downtown
Association designed a painted 'tracks' on the roads to connect the two portions
of the trail. The paint has since faded; we would like to repaint this popular
access line.
5) Replace sign at city limits of Roslyn: funds to replace the "Welcome to Roslyn" sign
to indicate to tourists that they are entering a historic district
• The "Welcome to Ros/yn" sign is faded and structurally weak. We would like to
replace it with a new sign that includes text to show that Ros/yn is a vibrant
historical district.
There are no major obstacles to be overcome in any of these projects. All properties are owned
by the City of Roslyn, and the City will be carrying out the activities.
2. Kittitas County Tourism Infrastructure Plan: Please explain how the project meets the
goals and priorities in the Kittitas County Tourism Infrastructure Plan as adopted. Also, describe
the specific county tourism infrastructure needs the project addresses and how the project
directly increases tourism. Explain how the improvements will promote tourism in Kittitas County
and indicate specifically how the improvements will directly increase economic activity resulting
from tourists (see the definition of tourist on page 3 of this application).
These five projects will address the Park, Recreation and Open Space (PROS) Plan in three of
the major policy areas: #2, #5, #6 and #8. Following are description of the specific ways the
goals are met.
PROS Goal 2 -Recreation Programs
PROS Policy 2.1 Healthy lifestyle
Promote healthy eating and active lifestyle programs including walkable communities,
community gardens, and other recreational programs with education, awareness, enforcement,
and developmental partnerships for youth, teen, and senior age groups, and special populations
where these activities are of major interest and benefit to county residents of all ages.
PROS Policy 2.2 Active lifestyle
Facilitate development of a network of multipurpose parks, trails, facilities, and programs that
encourage an active lifestyle involving walking, hiking, biking, playing, swimming, exercising,

• Roslyn Projects # 1 & # 4: Adding trail sighs in the Ros/yn U.rban Forest ~md
clarifying the two connections of the Cbal Mine Trail with a painted 'tracks" woUld
encourage both individuals am;] families visiting Upper Kittitas County to take
time for short hikes. After seeing the beauty of the w;Jdemess, those short hikes
could easily lead to planning a longer hike and overnight stays. A big component
of the RUF trail signage is also public safety, so hikers, skiers or hors~ riders can
let emergency personnel know their location in an emergency.
PROS Goal 5 Historical resources
PROS Policy 5.1 Historical features and interests
5 .1.1 : Identify. preserve, and enhance Kittitas County's heritage , traditions, and cultural features
-Including historical sites , buildings , artworks, views, and monuments within park sites and
historical areas -especially Roslyn , Cle Elum, and Ellensburg historic downtowns.
• Roslyn project # 4: Coal mining was essential to the development of the towns
in the Upper County, and a huge part of the area's over 100 year history. The
Coal Mine Trail follows the path of the Northern Pacific Railroad branch line
developed in 1886 to transporf'ebal from the Ros/yn/Cle Elum Coal Field. In
1887, the· branch was extended to the #3 Mine where Ronald developed. The
Ros/ynlRonald line was operated until 1986, and then in 1994, it began to be
converted to an interlocal public recreational trail. When people hike the entire
trail, they become enmeshed in the history of the area.
• Ros/yn project # 5: The entire footprint of Roslyn is an historic district making it
very unique. Adding a new welcome sign to remind people of that as they enter
town will encourage them to visit the unique museums, structures, and sites that
showcase stories the area's history.
PROS Goal 6 Trail systems
PROS Policy 6.1 Winter trails Support a system of alpine skiing\ dog sledding. ice-skating,
Nordic skiing, sledd ;ng or snow tUbing , snowshoeing, and snowmoblle trailheads and trails for
access to Wenatchee National Forest and TeCinaway Community Forest attractions.
PROS Policy 6.4 Hike and bike t~alls Coord in ate and support a comprehensive system of off-
road hike and blk.e trails that access scenic, environmental, historiC, and open space attributes
throughout Kittitas County -expanding and linking existi ng trail systems into area-wide
networks especially including between the urban residential areas and public lands in the Alpine
Lakes Wilderness, Wenatchee National Forest, Teanaway Community Forest, LT Murray, Oak
Creek, Wenas, and Whiskey Dick Wildlife Area.
PROS Policy 6.8 All trail services and furnishings 6.8.1: Support development and
maintenance of a series of trails, trailheads , trailside rest stops, viewpoints, and trail signage
systems that integrate winter, water, horse. hike, bike, ORV, ATV, and dog trails with specific
historical, CUltural, environmental and SCenic points of interest.

• Ros/yn projects # 1, and # 3, In 2004, a Roslyn nonprofit organization, RIDGE,
reached a settlement with adjacent resort Mountainstar (now Suncadia) for the
City of Roslyn to acquire forested lands on the ridge surrounding the city and
adjacent to Roslyn's historical cemeteries, making more than 62 percent of the
City of Roslyn forested.
• The Roslyn Urban Forest (RUF) is a working forest. It is an outdoor classroom for
students from around the region. It's a protected habitat for species that need
maturing pine forests to thriv.e. It is a tourist destina tion for hikers, m o untain
bikers, eques trians, natura lists, birders, families j and his tory buffs. It con nects
outdoor enthusiasts to 600 miles of groomed recreationa l trail. These trail
systems incl ude: Crystal Sp rings , Lake Easton, Salmon La Sac, Easton
Reload, Gold Cre ek, Ka chess, Price Creek We stbound, Bleweit Pass, Elk
Heights, Manastash, Mineral Sp rings, Reecer Creek, Last
Re sort, Taneum, Teanaway / 29 Pines, and Woods and Steel.
PROS Policy 6.6.2 -On and off leash dog areas Where appropriate, support development of
off~leash dog parks that provide controlled and convenient exercise and social area
opportunities for dog owners near major Kittitas County destinations including the Roslyn, Cle
Elum, and Ellensburg historic
• Ros/yn project # 2: Although the Roslyn Forest in an off-leash area, Roslyn is
too small to designate a city park as an off-leash area. However both Runje Park
and Fireman's Park are large enough that they fulfill that need -many visitors
run their dogs off-leash in those areas. Adding dog-waste stations to two major
parks as well as to the two entrances to the forest in Roslyn would encourage the
many, many travelers with dogs to linger longer and also help maintain a healthy
landscape. It encourages multi-use of the facilities.
PROS Goal 8 Playgrounds and fields
PROS policy 8 -Playgrounds and tot lots Support development and designation of a network
of play sites and facilities that meet playing standards and requirements for all age groups and
skill levels within convenient walking distances of residential neighborhoods.
• Many tourists to Upper Kittitas County travel as family units. The unique beauty
of the forests and lakes in Upper Kittitas County draw people to relax and enjoy
one another. Family travel promotes health and wellness and fosters human
development. Adding a dditi9nal play structures, especially those that involve
music, will draw people to these local assets such as Runje Field and therefore
encourage longer stays. Runje Field is only two blocks from Ros/yn's downtown
core, and people who stop there for play often walk to town for meals .

To: Kittitas County Lodging Tax Committee
From: Roslyn Planning and Historical Preservation Commission
Re: Lodging Tax grant application
The City of Roslyn Comprehensive Plan states that the City seeks to maintain Roslyn's historic character while main-
taining economic viability. Due to a shortage of large scale businesses in the immediate region, economic viability
rests heavily on tourist trade to the City's food, retail and recreational businesses.
The Roslyn Planning and Historical Preservation Commission supports the components of this grant application.
Augmenting the facilities at our trails and parks will encourage people to visit Roslyn and extend their stays. Adding
directional trail signs, wood chips, musical play stations and pet -waste stations are relatively small projects that can
have a big impact.
The current "Welcome to Roslyn" sign has been useful for many years, but it is is fatiguing. A new sign which in-
cludes a reference to Roslyn's historical designation would both welcome and educate visitors. Roslyn is a unique
historical site in the state for many reasons; one reason is that the entire footprint of town is the site, rather than
one small portion.
A scarcity of parking is a major problem during the summer months. Adding parking at Fireman's Park would help
alleviate the problem faced by private citizens and downtown businesses.
Finally, painting replicas of the former railroad tracks on the Coal Mine would be very useful. When visitors walk
from Cle Elem or Ronald to Roslyn, the trail ends without a clear indication of where it begins again on the other side
of town. We once had tracks painted in, and visitors were often seen walking through town on them. Again, this is a
small project that can have a big impact.
Thank you for our consideration.

Dear Kittitas County Lodging Tax Committee,
This opportunity for the City of Roslyn to apply for a grant will support some of the plans from
the University of Washington Storefront Studio, developed with the Roslyn Downtown
Association, (RDA).
The RDA is excited that funds may be available to repaint the area where Roslyn's historic train
tracks once ran through the city and re-connect the two parts of Roslyn's Coal Mine Trail. Also,
there is the need to replace signage at the city limits of Roslyn to indicate to tourists that they
are entering an historic district.
This is a perfect match: Capital Project Tourism lodging Tax application and the City of Roslyn
who needs funds to support tourism-related activities.
Thank you so much for your consideration. Please fund this grant request.
Sincerely,
Cheri Marusa,
President

To: Kittitas County Lodging Tax Committee
This 2016 Lodging Tax application by the City of Roslyn for Tourism-Related, Small-
Scale Municipality-Owned Capital Projects is consistent and compatible with the goals
and objectives of the Citizens Advisory Committee for the Roslyn Urban Forest and
supports the trail system adopted by the Roslyn City Council.
We understand that the Capital Project category is for applications from cities like Roslyn
who need funds to support tourism-related facilities owned or operated by the
municipality. The Roslyn Urban Forest is comprised of over 300 acres. It is heavily used
by tourists as evidenced by spring and summer mountain bike events which may draw
upward of 200 out-of-town mountain bike riders and their families and supporters.
We have some funding for directional trail signage, and more is needed due to the regular
use of the Roslyn Urban Forest by hikers, birders, skiers, mountain bikers and, to a lesser
extent, horseback riders. Our funding is not sufficient to continue the implementation of
our plan. Please fund this grant so that we might continue to more fully address the needs
of seasonal use on the trails and further develop this valuable resource in support of our
regional tourist industry.
Respectfully,

Parks & Recreation Plan
Section 1: Introduction
Roslyn is located 80 miles east of Seattle near Interstate 90 in sunny central Washington. Incorporated in
1886, the coal-mining town of Roslyn played an important role in Washington State History. The
extensive coal fields in the area fueled the Northern Pacific Railroad's trains during construction and
early operation of a direct rail line through the Cascade Mountains.
The City of Roslyn Recreation Plan is the culmination of many years and dedicated volunteer hours of
work since the City of Roslyn acquired the Roslyn Urban Forest (RUF) in 2007 and established the RUF
Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) which began meeting bimonthly in 2008. This work was completed
by the City of Roslyn CAC, Staff, Elected Officials, local volunteers, and stakeholder groups. The City and
the CAC have partnered with other organizations, such as the Wilderness Society, the National Parks
Service (Rivers, Trails, Conservation Assistance Program), the Washington Chapter of the American
Society of Landscape Architects, Kittitas Conservation Trust, Forterra, Mountains to Sound Greenway,
The Nature Conservancy, the Roslyn Downtown Association, and University of Washington to help
effectively organize and strategize the best way to engage citizens and stakeholders to create this plan.
Vision for the City of Roslyn Recreation Plan:
A recreation plan that has recommendations that fit with Roslyn's community needs, fosters a sense of
place, promotes health and well-being of residents, aligns with Roslyn's comprehensive plan goals, and
enhances the quality of life for local citizens. This includes non-motorized public access to open space in
and adjacent to the City of Roslyn, sustainable recreational opportunities, flexible and adaptive to local
needs, connected and integrated into the Wildlife and recreation networks in the region, embraced by the
City and the local citizens and users, and provides educational opportunities for the community. (Roslyn
Urban Forest CAC -Design Charrette Summary Report, 2012)
Goals of the City of Roslyn Recreation Plan:
-Provide a range of recreational opportunities within Roslyn's parks, forest, and open-spaces
~ Balance recreational amenities to minimize negative impacts to forest health, wildlife habitat
and local residents and businesses
Identify and enhance regional recreational opportunities and public access
Integrate the needs of the town center (downtown), including visitor parking and other ancillary
services (Le. Stormwater management, etc.)
Celebrate Roslyn's history and community

access to large, undeveloped landscapes in both public and private ownership. Connections to a wide
range of outdoor recreational opportunities have, and continue to be, a primary factor for people to
choose to live and recreate in our community.
Roslyn Urban Forest (RUF)
The City of Roslyn owns 324.5 acres of open space forest land surrounding the developed footprint of
the City, including;
• 300 acres, the North half of section 17, Township 20, Range 15 that lies to the north and east of

recreation within the RUF (Roslyn Forest Land Stewardship Plan 2008 & Forest Land Stewardship Plan -
Roslyn Urban Forest -Adjacent to Roslyn Historic Cemeteries 2008). The RUF Citizens Advisory
Committee (CAC) was created pursuant to the Roslyn Urban Forest Land Stewardship Plan. Its role is the
City of Roslyn and make management recommendations to the City Council regarding implementation
of the lSP's. The CAC holds two public meetings on the first and third Wednesdays of the month, from
6:30 -8:30 pm. The CAC was founded in 2008.
Existing Recreation Opportunities (Roslyn Urban Forest -Land Stewardship Plan, Begley, 2008):
The Roslyn (Urban) Forest serves as a regional recreational amenity because its proximity to the
City of Roslyn, an outdoor tourism destination. There are over 5 [now 9, with user-built
additions1 miles of identified trails/roads in the RUF that are used for many different recreational
purposes. Most of these trails follow road beds built originally for timber harvest and mining
purposes. Another widely used trail follows a modern fiber optic line up a steep grade.
Additionally, there are approximately 1.6 [41 miles of recently constructed user-built trails
throughout the RF primorily used by local mountain bikers.
Existing Capital Facilities:
The Roslyn Urban Forest is an undeveloped forest that buffers the City of Roslyn from a large master
planned resort to the south and private parcels and development to the west, north, and east. The
eXisting trail system contains single-and double-track (old road beds) for non-motorized recreational
uses. There is currently over nine (9) miles within the 324.5 acre footprint of the RUF with four season
non-motorized recreation access.

information about the Roslyn Urban Forest. One is located at the public restrooms near downtown, on
the Coal Mines Trail and adjacent to Runje Park. The other is located on the Coal Mines Trail at a major
access point to the southeast end of the RUF. The City of Roslyn rents two port-a-potties at two major
trail heads during the spring/summer/fall seasons.

Section 3: Public Involvement
The City of Roslyn has a diverse community with ample community input to developing this recreation
plan. Public involvement is key component of the planning efforts to balance recreational opportunities
that promote quality of life for local residents and promote economic development through increased
recreational tourism in our area. Efforts include decades of work by elected and appointed
representatives of the City, local volunteers, non-profit partners, local businesses, and institutions of
higher learning.
2009, 2010, 2011, & 2014: Roslyn Downtown Association in partnership with the University of
Washington, Department of Architecture, Design Studio -Storefront Studio Program
The Roslyn Downtown Association has held a series of community workshops in partnership with the
University of Washington's Department of Architecture to develop conceptual designs and plans for
parks, open-space, and trails. The goal ofthe design proposals were to link and enhance parks and
open-spaces to form a "green heart of Roslyn". Storefront Studio is a program lead by Jim Nicholls
from the University of Washington, Dept. of Architecture to engage students to work with small local
communities to enact community involvement and promote positive change. It provides an opportunity
for students to gain experience and helps communities with limited resources through visioning and
conceptual design processes. Included in these workshops were designs for capital projects for parks,
trailheads, and non-motorized linkages through downtown to parks and open-spaces.
HOW WE GOT HERE: DEVELOPING THE NEW TRAIL PLAN
The trail plan for the Roslyn Urban Forest was developed in accordance with the Land Stewardship Plan
(LSP). The main goals ofthat Plan are to protect and enhance wildlife habitat and to provide a quality non -
motorized recreational experience that minimizes impacts to wildlife and wildlife habitat. (LSP, page 6).
The new trail plan makes use of both local and professional expertise. Public input was essential to the
process. The new trail plan incorporates information received at regular bi-monthly Citizens Advisory
Committee for the Roslyn Urban Forest (CAC RUF) meetings and at the following events:
November 16,2010: Regional Assessment and Stakeholder Workshop
The CAC RUF partnered with The Wilderness Society in reaching out to the community and potential
regional stakeholders to discuss and gather information to shape the Roslyn Urban Forest (RUF) Trail and
Recreation Plan, identify opportunities to connect the RUF with regional trail and conservation corridors,
identify collaborative opportunities to fund collective ideas, and foster the conversation about an upper
county regional recreational plan.

November 2010: Regional Assessment Workshop
(From the Executive Summary)
In order to inform the ongoing efforts of a comprehensive Trail and Recreation plan for the Roslyn Urban
Forest, the Roslyn Urban Forest Citizens Advisory Committee Partnered with The Wilderness Society to
outreach to the community and potential stakeholders in advance of and during a Regional Assessment
Workshop.
The Goals of this outreach were to:
1. Gather information to shape the Roslyn Urban Forest Trail and Recreations Plan -Specifically
where to maintain and develop connections between existing conservation and recreation in the
region and define the niche of the Roslyn Urban Forest;
2. Identify opportunities to connect the Roslyn Urban Forest with regional trail and conservation
corridors;
3. Identify collaborative opportunities to fund our collective ideas; and
4. Foster the conversation among the community interested in working toward an upper Kittitas
County regional recreation plan.
Surveys were sent to all Roslyn residents through their water bills with twenty-six responses, direct
outreach was conducted with fourteen individuals representing locol, regional and state recreation and
conservation organizations, and thirty-eight stake holders and citizens attended the workshop.
Results indicate that a wide variety of recreation and conservation activities take place in Upper Kittitas
County. The majority take place in three main watersheds (Yakima, Cle Elum, and Teanaway). Hikers,
mountain bikers, horse riders, motorcyclists, ORV riders, snowmobilers and dog sledders are active in
the region and many of the users are also involved in conservation activities. The need for connectivity
-maintaining and restoring adjacency for both habitat and recreational opportunities -was a clear
priority for 011. Residents and other users alike are interested in connectivity (recreational and
conservation) between the Roslyn Urban Forest from the "ridgetop to the river" with a vision of
connecting the Teanaway Valley up and over the ridge, down through the Roslyn Urban Forest,
Suncadia, to the Cle Elum River.
Participants value the conservation values of Wildlife, plants and biodiversity as well as watersheds,
clean water, open space, undeveloped land, forests, the Alpine Lakes Wilderness, the Teanaway valley
and migration corridors and connectivity. The top conservation needs in Upper Kittitas County were
identifies as Wildlife corridors and a network of open space as well as a sustainable ecological
management approach, stewardship ethic, and political support from county commissioners.
Trails, from those on US Forest Service Lands to specific trails such as the Iron Horse Trail and Rat Pac
trial were the number one recreation value identified followed by hiking, access, the Alpine Lakes

Wilderness and wildlife and plant viewing. Connecting trails and creating a trail network was by far the
hig he s t iden tified recreational need fo r Uppe r Kittitas county. Quiet pla ces to re creote and infrastructure
for parkin g, trailheads, hitch ing pos ts, horse neec(s, trails, interpretive signs and mops also
were identified.
The diverse recreationists represented indicated similar pathways and pinch-points of interest for
maintaining or creating ac cess. Th es'e locatio ns exist due to lack of public access, Impin ging
development, or natural land and water features . These same path ways are also priorities fo r
conservation con necti vity, thus ap prop riate planning mus t ad dress these dua l needs .
Specific to the future Trails and Recre ati on Plan for the Roslyn Urban Forest, results indicate a clear need
and des ire to connect the RUF up ove r the Cle Elum mdge into the Teanaway and down through
Suncadia to the Cle Elum River. There is a need and desire to accomplish these connections through
easements on private lands and connecting to USFS trails. The possibility exists, depending on the
public's stared desire for quiet and avoidance of user conflict, for a regional snowmobile route from the
Teanoway, whic h travels th rough the RUF, the Coal Mines Trail and up toward Salmon la Sac.
Connectivity for non -motorized use bet ween the Coa l Mines Trail ond the RUF is desired while
snowmobile use from the Coal Mines Tra il into the RUF should be deterred. Identified wildlife corridors
should be incorporated into the trails and recreation planning for the RUF in order to maintain these
critical pathways.
The report concludes with the identification of a three-fold niche for the future of the Roslyn Urban
Forest in terms of Trails and Recreation:
1. Embrace both the education opportunities and needs/desires for interpretation and learn
from the natural and restoring forest; also offer a more rugged, unstructured opportunity to
explore and adventure without direction.
2. Maintain the habitat quality of the forest for connectivity.
3. Ensure the future sustain ability of the town of Roslyn in the face of large storm and run-off
events in which large amounts of water can flow down through and from the RUF.
Future work of the RUF Trails and Recreation Plan will incorporate these results, combined with a
Community Vision Workshop in May of 2011, into a design charrette in October 2011 through a
partnersh ip with the Na tional Park Se rvice's Rivers Trails and Conser vation Assistance Program and the
Washington Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architec:ts.

May 2011: Community Vision Workshop
(From the Executive Summary)
For more than a year, the Roslyn Urban Forest (RUF) Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC) has worked with
The Wilderness Society and the National Park Service Rivers, Trails, and Conservation Assistance Program
to develop a comprehensive trail and recreation plan for the Roslyn Urban Forest. The plan will identify a
long-term vision and goals for recreation in the forest that are in concert with the forest health goals set
forth in the community's land stewardship plan. The plan will also broaden community and visitor
awareness of the forest, help foster a sense of place, and strive to maintain the vitality of the forest with
which we live. This report summarizes results from the May 2010 Vision Workshop and Community
Survey and will inform the next steps in the development of the RUF comprehensive trail and recreation
plan as well as related efforts throughout the region.
Major findings from the workshop include:
• Residents appreciate a healthy forest and the natural environment
• Residents want a safe, accessible, and easy-to-understand system of trails that is still "wild" with
minimal development
• Residents appreciate the wilderness character of the forest as well as the non-motorized
recreational setting
• Residents want connections within and around the forest (e.g., the "Ridge to River" concept,
connector trail across SR903 from the NW corner near Alaska Alley)
• Residents want trail maintenance needs addressed (such as dog-waste stations)
• Residents want the forest to accommodate a variety of non-motorized uses such as horses; there
is a desire to retain the no snowmobile/non-motorized status of the forest
• Residents want recreational use to be respectful of the natural environment
• Residents want trails designed to accommodate hiking, biking, and snowshoeing as priority
activities and provide for quality experiences for relaxation, exercise, dog walking, and Wildlife
viewing
• Youth are interested in the outdoors and the use of the forest for recreational and educational
learning opportunities
Needs, Wants, and Desires for Recreation and Trails
Participants offered several specific needs, wants, and desires for the future recreation and trails system,
including:
• Off-leash policy for dogs (23 comments)
• Non-motorized policy (10 comments)
• Limited trail signoge to maintain "wild" nature (6 comments), with signage (and way finding map)
at key entry points
• Dog-waste bags at the most-used troilheads (6 comments)
14
CITY OF ROSLYN
National Historic District and Preserve America Community
• Horsejriendly policy, with the suggestion of keeping the forest open to horses and developing
horse-friendly trails from the Coal Mine trail to the ridge and from the Horse Park.
• A trail system that accommodates the diverse recreation needs and allows for wildlife, habitat, and
ecological sustainability while providing for activities of minimal impact (allowing hiking and local
pack animals at a minimal impact scale, providing for winter activities)
Other comments identified the importance of water bars, the need for trail maintenance parties, the
opportunity to utilize forest resources (especially firewood), more trail connections (e.g., connector across
SR903), and limited snowmobile access along the edge of the forest or connecting to the ridge.
Current Use Patterns
The survey distributed at this station identified the areas most used by the community. From the 20
surveys completed at this station, it is evident that the main forest and the cemetery are the areas used
most by the community_ People use all or most of the community's inventoried trails, with the Crooked
Tree Trail being the most used. Other trails such as Slickrock and #8 Rai/grade are also frequently used.

The Ros{yn Urban Forest (RUF) Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) was awarded the National Parks
Ser'vi ce (NPS) Rivers, Tralfs, C!)nsetvatlon'A$slstance Program (RTCAP) grant to help move the City of
Roslyn forward in determination of a comprehensive trails and recreation plan and program. The CAC
has held two previous workshops to better inform our efforts and the Charrette was a columniation of
them. The first was a Regional Assessment, and brought stakeholder groups from around Upper Kittitas
County to determine how the RUF fits regionaf/y for recreation and habitat. The second was a Visioning
Workshop that brought more localstakeholders to determine what a community vision of the future of
trails, recreation and habitat for the RUF.
The Design Charrette was a more extensive planning event that took place over the course of a Friday
evening and the entire day of Saturday. Participants in this charrette were determined because of local
involvement, knowledge, and willingness to participate in the entire event. There were also 10-12
landscape architects who participated. Folks were then split up into five working groups that focused on
the areas of the natural environment, access and infrastructure, regional connectivity, education. and
human corridors. Groups then pooled their information together to draft a comprehensive vision from
the weekend's worth of work. This was then presented to the public at an open house on Saturday
evening.

Volunteers combine their expertise in a two-day workshop to explore options for non-motorized
recreation and trails in Roslyn's forest while protecting the habitat, wildlife and a working forest.
Desired Outcome:
To create visuals and specific design proposals, including an overall map and summary notations of
proposals & rationales, of the future recreation and trails network and infrastructure for the Roslyn
Urban Forest (RUFj that is in keeping with the following vision of the RUF Recreation and Trails Plan:
Vision Statement for the RUF Recreation and Trails Plan: A plan that has recommendations that are non-
motorized, sustainable, able to adapt to new information from monitoring and unforeseen
circumstances, connected and integrated into the wildlife and recreation networks in the region,
embraced by the City and the local citizen's and users, provides educational opportunities for the
community, and enhances the quality of life in Roslyn.
General Design Program

Population Trends
The City of Roslyn had a net decrease in the last decennial census (Washington State Office of Financial
Management) from 1,017 in 2000 to 893 in 2010. This decrease has been attributed to a number of
factors including, the financial and housing market collapse of 2008, the rise of 2nd home ownership
within the city limits, and natural population decline due to deaths of older residents. Currently Roslyn
is witnessing a resurgence of new home construction within the incorporated limits of the City and in
adjacent unincorporated Kittitas County for the last 4 - 5 years. The information provided below was
taken from the Kittitas County Park, Recreation, & Open Space Plan, 2016, which is a similar trend
witnessed by the City of Roslyn on a more local scale.

Kittitas County is located straddling 4 of the SCORPT regions for the diary surveys
Kittitas County participation rates and frequencies reflect the North Cascade region that has higher
participation rates for picnicking, Wildlife viewing, sightseeing, and hiking than the Seattle-King County
region, for example, but lower walking without a pet.
Kittitas County frequencies are higher overall for all 5 top tourist attractions than Seattle-King region .
3.4 Kittitas County annual recreation volumes
The potential annual activity volume or occurrence that would result were the entire population of
Kittitas County to engage in these activities in Kittitas County is determined by multiplying the
participation rate by the frequency rate by the number of persons expected to reside in Kittitas County
from 2015-2040.
The total number of activity occurrences that could result if all activity were to occur in Kittitas County
programs and facilities would be 17,210,388 in 2015 increasing to 22,400,335 by 2040 or by 5,189,947 or
30%.
Activities that would generate the greatest potential annual volume in 2040 were all activity to happen
in Kittitas County would be:
• Walking without a pet -3,833,665 occurrences
• Walking with a pet -3,198,502

2016-2021 Capital Facilities Plan
INTRODUCTION
To comply with State and Federal mandates, maintain, or improve City services to citizens, and protect
the City's unique character and quality of life, the City of Roslyn anticipates the need for steady
investment in its Capital Facilities.
These projects include improvements to water supply and treatment, streets, sidewalks, sanitary and
storm sewers and routine replacement of worn -out City equipment. The City is also planning to improve
its public buildings, parks, and historic cemeteries. Improving the area behind City Hall to accommodate
visitors is a priority.
To approach these projects in a coordinated and cost effective way, the City has developed this Capital
Facilities Plan ("CFP") for 2015 through 2021. This plan also provides an inventory of existing capital
facilities, describes needed projects, and establishes a construction chronology, including possible
funding sources for meeting the City's goals. One possible funding source is revenue generated from
the collection of impact fees.
CAPITAL FACILllY PROJECTS GUIDELINES AND CRITERIA
The CFP addresses each element required by RCW 36.70A.070 (3). The CFP includes an inventory of all
existing capital facilities showing the locations and capacities of the capital facilities, including City
equipment and City properties identified on the historic register1 . Appendix A, which maps City
properties and facilities, is attached. The CFP also provides a forecast for future needs exceeding
$300.00 and lists those projects in order of priority. Z The CFP requires the City to reassess the land use
element if probable funding falls short of meeting existing needs and to ensure that the land use
element are coordinated and consistent.3 Finally, the City has not identified a need for expanded or
new capital facilities. As a result, the CFP does not address the proposed locations and capacities of
expanded or new capital facilities. 4

EXISTING CAPITAL FACILITIES & FORECAST FUTURE NEEDS
WATER SYSTEM PLAN
The City owns, operates, and manages a Group A community water system. The City obtains its drinking
water supply from Domerie Creek, a tributary of the Cle Elum River, and has an agreement with Kittitas
County Water District No. 2 to provide wholesale water to the community of Ronald. The water
distribution system was constructed in the City between 1890 and 1920, consisting of }'z-inch to 8-inch
steel and galvanized pipe. In 1968, roughly 11,560 feet of 10-inch tar-lined steel pipe was installed to
serve the High School. In 1992, a water system improvement project was funded by a Farmers Home
Administration grant and loan package and a Public Works Trust Fund loan. The water system
improvement project included replacement of the entire distribution system, with the exception of the
10-inch piped described above, and installation of source, residential and commercial meters.
The City's existing water service area consisted of approximately 430 acres, including area within the
City's corporate limits, and some areas outside the City limits along SR 903 to the High School, Horvatt
Road, and Nelson Dairy Road. The City serves approximately 754 customers.
The City has a water rights claim to Domerie Creek dating back to 1908. In 2005, with the assistance of a
Department of Ecology grant, the City purchased 238 acre-feet of water rights from a private seller,
whoever those rights have not yet been transferred to the City.
The City's Water Reservoir consists of a one-million gallon poly-propylene lines and covered reservoir
located above the City to the West at an elevation of 2,460 feet. The highest water service site points in
Roslyn are at an elevation of approximately 2,100 feet. The reservoir was built in the early 1920s, re-
lined in 1939, lined with poly-propylene in 1998, and covered in 1999. The reservoir has a 12-inch intake
pipe, a 16-inch outlet pipe serving the City and two overflow pipes. The reservoir is considered
adequate for fire suppression needs. The reservoir was completely re-fenced with 6-foot high chain link
fencing in 2000, paid for by grant monies from USDA Rural Development. Each two to three years, the
City hires a scuba diver to clean the reservoir.
The water system area includes Kittitas County Water District #2 (Ronald) the entire City of Roslyn and
the Cle Elum-Roslyn school complex. The school has its own lO-inch line that was installed in 1968. The
City parks and cemeteries are also served. The entire in-town distribution system was replaced in 1992,
solving many problems of chronic leaks, low pressure, poor fire flow and outdated hydrants.
Approximately 11 miles of new PVC and ductile iron were installed.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS:
In the future other projects may arise that are not identified as part ofthe City's water system CIP. Such
projects may be deemed necessary for ensuring water quality, preserving emergency water supply,
accommodating transportation improvements proposed by other agencies, or addressing unforeseen
problems with the City's water system. Due to budgetary constraints, the completion of these projects
may require that the proposed completion date for the projects in the CIP be rescheduled. The City
retains the flexibility to reschedule proposed projects and to expand or reduce the scope of proposed
projects, as best determined by the City when new information becomes available for evaluation.
The CIP is categorized into five categories:
• Transmission Projects (T)
• Distribution System Projects (D)
• Water Treatment Plant Projects (WTP)
• Miscellaneous Projects (M), and
• Operation and Maintenance Projects (O&M)
Each category is further divided into a detailed list of projects presented chronologically over the 6-year
and 20-year planning periods. Projects after the 6-year planning period are described along with a cost
estimate, but are not scheduled for a specific year.
PROJECT T -2: TRANSMISSION MAIN REPLACEMENT WEST OF RIVER CROSSING PHASE 1
Schedule: 2017
Estimated Cost: $368,900
This project would replace the existing steel transmission main through the Pearson, Schneringer, and
Freeman private properties west of the river crossing. The project entails 1,800 linear feet of 12-inch
ductile iron transmission main, valves, and appurtenances. The line would replace the existing leaking
line to reduce leakage and increase system reliability.
PROJECT T -3: TRANSMISSION MAIN REPLACEMENT WEST OF RIVER CROSSING PHASE 2
Schedule: 2017
Estimated Cost: $857,300
This project would replace the portions of the existing steel transmission main through the private
properties west of the river crossing not replaced in Phase 1. The project entails 3,800 linear feet of 12-
inch ductile iron transmission main, valves, and appurtenances. The line would replace the existing
leaking line to reduce leakage and increase system reliability.
PROJECT T-4: TRANSMISSION MAIN REPLACEMENT EAST OF RIVER CROSSING
Schedule: 2019
Estimated Cost: $1,322,400
This project would replace existing steel transmission main from the river crossing to the portion
replaced by Suncadia. The project entails 6,100 linear feet of 12-inch ductile iron transmission main,
valves, and appurtenances. The line would replace the existing leaking line to reduce leakage and
increase system reliability.
PROJECTT-5: TRANSMISSION MAIN REPLACEMENT BETWEEN WTPAND RESERVOIR
Schedule: 2019
June 15, 2016
Estimated Cost: $769,500
This project would replace existing steel transmission main along Nelson Dairy Road to the City's
reservoir. The project would entail 3,500 linear feet of 12-inch ductile iron transmission main, valves,
and appurtenances. The line would replace the existing leaking line to reduce leakage and increase
system reliability.
PROJECT 0-2: SOUTH THIRD STREET AND SR 903 WATER MAIN TO HIGH
SCHOOL REPLACEMENT
Schedule: 2018
Estimated Cost: $1,231,600
The City plans to replace 6,000 LF of the existing coal tar-lined steel 10-inch pipe that supplies the
schools in the southeast part of the system. The lO-inch water main will be replaced with 12-inch PVC
from South 3rd Street and West California Avenue to the schools. The remaining 2,500 LF of the pipe
that continues from South 3rd Street and West California Avenue to South Pennsylvania Street will be
abandoned in place.
PROJECT 0-3: HORVATT ROAD 4-INCH WATERLlNE REPLACEMENT
Schedule: 2020
Estimated Cost: $457,000
This project would replace approximately 2,600 linear feet of 4-inch waterline on Horvatt Road with 8-
inch PVC pipe to increase fire flow to the area.
PROJECT WTP-1: WATER TREATMENT PLANT EXPANSION
Schedule: 2020
Estimated Cost: $968,500
This project would upgrade the existing slow sand facility from 1.0 mgd to 1.5 mgd by adding a third
slow sand filter bed . The project would include the third bed, filter media, site piping and
appurtenances, site work, and instrumentation and electrical .
PROJECT M-1: RESERVOIR COVER REPLACEMENT/REHABILITATION
Schedule: 2017
Estimated Cost: $81,300
Although still in good condition, the existing reservoir cover will likely require replacement or
rehabilitation within the 6-year planning period.
PROJECT M-2: BRIDGE MAINTENANCE AND PAINTING
Schedule: 2017
Estimated Cost: $384,000
With the transmission main being replaced on the bridge, the bridge requires on-going maintenance to
ensure reliability and reduce the risk of bridge failure. Minor structural repairs will be completed,
including replacing approximately 100 corroded rivets with high strength bolts. Additionally, spot paint
repairs will be made to prevent further corrosion. Due to the sensitive nature of the Cle Elum River, the
bridge will be fully contained during painting.
PROJECT O&M-1: SERVICE METER REPLACEMENT
Schedule: 2017
Estimated Cost: $10,000 annually
June 15, 2016
As part of their Water Use Efficiency Program, the City is committed to accurately metering and billing
for water used by customers. Service meters normally have a life of approximately 10 to 20 years. The
existing service meters were mostly installed during the 1992 project. Consequently, they are near the
end of their expected life. The amount budgeted should allow for the City to replace approximately 120
meters annually.
PROJECT O&M-2: FINISHED WATER METER
Schedule: 2016
Estimated Cost: $7,100
The City has experienced decreased demand during the winter, resulting in flows outside of the ideal
flow range for the 12-inch finished water meter. The City plans to replace the existing meter with a
smaller mag-meter to increase meter accuracy.
PROJECT O&M-6: TURBIDIMETER REPLACEMENT
Schedule: 2016
Estimated Cost: $25,000
By 2018 the treatment plant will have been online for 20 years, which is the typical life span of
turbidimeters. As a result the City plans to replace three turbidimeters with newer models.
PROJECT O&M-9: CLEAN INTAKE POND
Schedule: 2019
Estimated Cost: $71,300
The City plans to clean and rehabilitate the intake pond in Domerie Creek within the 20-year planning
period to ensure adequate storage and withdrawal capacity.
6-YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
Table 1 summarizes the proposed capital improvement projects for the 6-year planning period. Each
project is discussed further in the paragraphs above. Detailed cost estimates for the capital
improvement projects are included in Appendix K. The transmission and distribution system project
costs in Table 1 include 20 percent contingency and 25 percent engineering and administration. O&M
costs include 20 percent contingency and 10 percent engineering and administration unless otherwise
noted. Project costs are projected forward with 3 percent inflation annually as well.
WASTEWATER (SEWER) SYSTEM PLAN
The original sewer system for the City of Roslyn was constructed in the early 1900s as a combined storm
and sewer system with direct discharges to Crystal Creek. Currently, the sewer system serves
approximately 754 customers. In 1973, the City constructed a two-cell facultative lagoon system and
constructed a sewer trunk line to Roslyn. Around this time sewer collections systems were expanded to
include low lying areas in the southeast portions of town. In 1984, the City replaced much of the system,
including side sewers, in the northwest portion of the City. In 1988, the City completed sewer
improvements intended to decrease inflow and infiltration problems at select locations in the central
portion of the City. In 1989, an eight-inch PVC sewer main was extended from 3rd Avenue along alleys
between Montana Avenue and West Oregon Avenue. In addition, the main trunk line was extended at
the wastewater treatment plan with sixteen-inch ductile iron pipe and twenty-one-inch concrete pipe as
part of wastewater treatment plant improvements. A sewer project was completed in 2004 at East
June 15, 2016
Pennsylvania A, B, C, D Streets, and Colorado. The equalization basin and the coal mine trail interceptor
projects were started and completed in 2006.
NO PROJECTS FORECASTED:
WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLAN & OPERATIONS BUILDING - N 5 RD
The original two-lagoon system was built in 1973 and updated with an addition of a third lagoon and the
building that contains the chlorine contact tank and aeration basin in 1989. In 2006/2007 when the City
joins the regional sewer system it will be converted to an attenuation basin.
STORM SYSTEM PLAN
The Storm water system is made up of the old sewer system. The sewer system was upgraded in 1973
allowing the City of Roslyn to separate sewer and storm water. The storm water utility was created in
1996 and the system designed in 1997. The construction ofthe facility was done with a grant. Much of
the work has been done already to separate the storm water and sewer system .
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS:
The hydraulic model results identified locations where the conveyance system was under capacity and
required larger pipes. City staff identified sections of the existing stormwater system that require
maintenance or replacement. A goal of the City is to locate all drainage facilities in right-of-way or City
owned property. The projects identified in the CIP plan support this goal.
The projects described below are developed based on the hydraulic model results and input from City
staff. Survey should be conducted as part of the design of any recommended capital improvement
project to ensure the most accurate and effective design for the project. All recommended projects
assume that the existing slope will be utilized in the future.
CIP 1-PENNSYLVANIA PLACE BOTILENECK
Schedule: 2016
Estimated Cost: $230,000
City staff has identified the pipe section south of Washington Avenue as the highest priority for
replacement in the stormwater system because of the bottleneck that occurs at this location. The
hydraulic model results indicate that this section has capacity to convey less than 15 percent of the flow
from the 2-year storm event. To convey the 10-year peak flow of 186 cfs 325 feet of 24-inch-diameter
pipe should be replaced with 48-inch-diameter pipe.
CIP 2 -SOUTH A STREET CULVERT
Schedule: 2016
Estimated Cost: $220,000
City staff has identified the culvert at South A Street, north of West Hoffmanville Avenue as a priority for
replacement. The existing parallel 30-inch-diameter pipes do not have sufficient capacity to convey the
10-year peak flow of over 350 cfs. This culvert conveys flow for Crystal Creek and must meet the design
guidelines in "Design of Road Culverts for Fish Passage," from Washington Department of Fish and
Wildlife. The cost estimates here use the Stream Simulation Design Option resulting in a box culvert of
dimensions 5-feet tall, 8-feet wide and 60-feet long.
June 15, 2016
CIP 3 -NORTH B STREET HEADWALL
Schedule: 2017
Estimated Cost: $400,000
Surface water from forested areas to the northeast of the City and development within the County
enters the stormwater system north of the intersection of North B Street and Utah Avenue. Currently,
the system downstream of the headwatl crosses several private properties before entering public
stormwater conveyance that is located entirely within rights-of-way. This project will install a new
headwall and 1,370 feet of 24-inch-diameter pipe. The project will provide capacity for the 10-year peak
flow of between 10 and 28 cfs as well as reroute the stormwater conveyance system to locate it entirely
within the City right-of-way.
CIP 4-NORTH 1ST STREET HEADWALL
Schedule: 2017
Estimated Cost: $270,000
A large surface water flow from forested areas to the north of the City and development within the
County enters the stormwater system to the east of the intersection of North 1st Street and West
Nevada Avenue Alley. The pipe downstream of the headwall crosses a private property. This proje'ct will
install a new headwall and 650 feet of 36-inch-diameter pipe to provide capacity for the 10-year peak
flow of 168 cfs and will reroute the stormwater conveyance system to locate it entirely within the City
right-of-way. According to the hydraulic model the capacity of the downstream system to which CIPs 2
and 5 connect should be increased to convey modeled flows from the upstream basins. Improvement of
the downstream system is a part of CIP 10. Completion of CIP 10 is recommended either in conjunction
with or prior to construction of CIPs 2 and 5 .
CIP 5 -NORTH C STREET HEADWALL
Schedule: 2017
Estimated Cost: $190,000
Surface water from forested areas to the east of the City and development within the County enters the
stormwater system south of the intersection of North C Street and Arizona Avenue. The pipe
downstream of the headwall does not currently have capacity for the lO-year peak flow of 8.9 cfs. This
project will install a new headwall and 760 feet of 12 -inch-diameter pipe between the headwall and CIP
3 in North A Street.
CIP 6 -REROUTE NORTH 3RD STREET
Schedule : 2017
Estimated Cost: $930,000
Surface water from forested areas to the west of the City and development in the County enters the
stormwater system west ofthe intersection of North 4th Street and Washington Avenue. Much of the
conveyance system downstream ofthis intersection is both undersized and located on private property.
City staff recommends that a new creek entrance and new 24-inch-diameter pipe be installed in the City
park to the alley between West Washington Avenue and West Pennsylvania Avenue, to connect to the
existing system. New pipe would be installed from the alley between West Pennsylvania Avenue and
West Dakota Avenue within City right-of-way or City-owned property to the storm sewer trunk line. This
project will install 500 feet of 24-inch, 200 feet of 36-inch, 155 feet of 42-inch, 415 feet of 48-inch and
900 feet of 54-inch-diameter pipe . The system will provide capacity for the lO-year peak flow of 178 cfs
and will reroute storm water conveyance to locate it within the City right-of-way. Approximately half of
the area tributary to this project is from outside the City limits.
June 15, 2016
CIP 7A-STORM SEWER TRUNK LINE, SOUTH OF MONTANA
Schedule: 2017
Estimated Cost: $1,720,000
This project will replace the existing storm sewer trunk line parallel to South 1st Street south of
approximately Montana Avenue. The existing storm sewer trunk line is a 42-inch x 48-inch box culvert.
This system is immediately downstream of CIP 6 and additional capacity will be required following
completion of CIP 6. This project will install 1,140 feet of 4-feet-deep and 5-feet-wide box culvert to
provide capacity for the 10-year peak flow of 354 cfs. Because portions of this project are located
outside right-of-way, an easement will be required.
CIP 78 -STORM SEWER TRUNK LINE, SOUTH OF MONTANA -PARALLEL PIPE
Schedule: 2017
Estimated Cost: $520,000
An alternative to replacing the existing 42-inch-wide by 48-inch-high box culvert is to install a parallel
48-inch-diameter pipe. This project would install approximately 1,150 feet of 48-inch pipe, with an
upstream connection to the existing system and discharge to the open ditch downstream of the box
culvert. Because portions of this project are located outside of City right-of-way, an easement will be
required.
CIP 8 -STORM TRUNK LINE, MONTANA TO PENNSYLVANIA
Schedule: 2017
Estimated Cost: $470,000
This project will replace the existing stormwater conveyance parallel to South 1st Street between
Montana and Pennsylvania Avenues. This system is immediately downstream of CIP 1 and also
downstream of CIPs 2, 4 and s. Following completion of these upstream projects, this section of the
stormwater system will need to have increased capacity for the 10-year peak flow of 186 cfs. This
project will install 1,050 feet of 48-inch-diameter pipe. Because portions of this project are located
outside right-of-way, an easement will be required.
CIP 9 -HOFFMANVILLE CONVEYANCE
Schedule: 2017
Estimated Cost: $300,000
Currently no stormwater conveyance exists in South 2nd Street between West Hoffmanville and West
Wyoming Avenues. This project would construct 600 feet of 12-inch-diameter pipe in S 2nd Street and
the alley north of West Hoffmanville Avenue, and 600 feet of 24-inch-diameter pipe in South 1st Street
and East Hoffmanville Avenue.
CIP 10 -NORTH 1ST STREET, WASHINGTON TO NEVADA
Schedule: 2017
Estimated Cost: $430,000
This project will replace the existing stormwater conveyance parallel to and within North 1st Street
between Washington and approximately East Arizona Avenues. The new pipe will connect to the
existing 36-inch pipe installed in 2005. This system is immediately downstream of the connection of CIP
4 and CIPs 2 and 5 connect to this section of the stormwater system. Following completion of the
upstream projects, this section of pipe will need to have additional capacity for the 10-year peak flow of
approximately 170 cfs. This project will install 900 feet of 42-inch-diameter pipe. Because portions of
this project are located outside right-of-way, an easement will be required.

CIP 11-CRYSTAL CREEK RESTORATION AND WETLAND CREATION DEMONSTRATION PROJECT
Schedule: 2017
Estimated Cost: $195,000
This project will involve restoring an 850 foot portion of Crystal Creek to a natural state and enhancing
its water quality by creating a wetland buffer around it. Currently the creek channel is highly incised and
the alignment is straight. The creek restoration will involve re-grading the creek channel so that its
alignment is more natural. A wetland area will be created to provide a creek buffer. Because portions of
this project are located outside right-of-way, an easement may be required.
Figure 1 shows the locations of recommended projects discussed below and Table 2 shows the cost for
each project. Projects are listed in order of priority. Detailed cost estimates are provided in Appendix C.
STREET SYSTEM PLAN
Roslyn has approximately thirteen miles of streets, which are mainly chip sealed; a few sections
are asphalted where needed. Most streets have a sixty-foot wide right-of-way. Pennsylvania
Avenue has an BO-foot wide right of way. Snow plowing in the winter months takes up most of
Roslyn's street budget. Repairingthe snow-plow equipment and fuel also consume many budget
dollars. Roslyn's plow equipment consists of two 1970's secondhand graders, a used State
Department of Transportation plow/sand/dump truck and a backhoe the City purchased new in
1988. Another grader was given to the City in 1999 by the Summit at Snoqualmie and is used for
parts.

SIDEWAlKS PLAN
Sidewalks in Roslyn are the responsibility ofthe abutting property owner to maintain and replace.
In 1995 Roslyn completed a downtown sidewalk project to replace and repair the commercial
core sidewalks. The property owners bore the cost except for the removal and disposal of the
old walks, which the City took responsibility for. Sidewalks are inspected each spring and notes
are kept to the condition. Where necessary, sidewalks are posted with "watch your step" signs.
In 1999 the City received grant monies from the State Department of Transportation to replace
sidewalks on the south side of State Route 903 from Dakota Avenue to Colorado Avenue, and
from Washington Alley to Idaho Avenue. This work was done at no cost to the property owner,
and the City was required to pay five percent of the total costs. Work was finished in the spring
of 2000.
