will be related to site planning and predicting various kinds of needs and deciding on the best
locations for those needs at the Terminal. He commented on the importance of addressing support
to the business of existing businesses there, as well as new businesses which may exist there in
the future. He also pointed out that another critical area within the study will be to address the cost
of developing the site, noting that 3-5 options will be developed and provided to the Commission
before moving forward with development of the facility. 
Commissioner Albro commented on the importance of stating early in the process, assumptions
including that we will continue to plan for industrial use and that transportation improvements
necessary to sustain industrial use are going to be built, and that we will receive support from the
City of Seattle related to zoning issues in order to achieve what is planned. 
Commissioner Bryant agreed with the importance of working with the City, and stated that he
would like to see a commitment that the City is going to deal with issues related to West Mercer
and an assurance that West Nickerson will be able to service the area being discussed.
Commissioner Creighton also voiced his concerns raised by the other Commissioners and noted
that his preference is for industrial use of the site, and agreed that it will be important to work with
the City from the beginning. He also noted that once the proposed study is completed, if the
numbers do not pencil out, we should remain open to the possibility of looking at other options. 
Commissioner Holland noted that he is not open to using the property for anything other than
industrial use. 
Commissioner Tarleton raised a question regarding the possibility of a formal way for the
consultant to be engaged with the City to look at how recent stormwater and drainage public utility
increases might impact infrastructure costs associated with the development of the property. Mr.
Hanson responded that part of the study will include cost estimating, and that the new codes would
either be met or exceeded.
Mr. Griffin assured the Commission that during the process, staff hopes to be working closely with
a number of City departments, with environmental staff, and with the consultant which is retained,
to address issues mentioned by the Commissioners, as well as a number of other issues which
implicate how the proper utility infrastructure is created.

be more of the norm in the future, which will require deeper water and therefore it is a strong
advantage to dredge deeply. 
Responding to Commissioner Albro's question about contaminated dredged material, and where
that material comes from, Mr. Burke stated that it is from a number of sources, which would include
all materials that come down the Duwamish River as well as materials that come off our slopes.
