THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BAINBRIDGE ISLAND, WASHINGTON
DO ORDAIN, AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Chapter 1 of the Winslow Master Plan, "Introduction and Summary," is amended
as follows:
CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY
WHY A MASTER PLAN FOR WINSLOW?
The Comprehensive Plan establishes the vision and overall framework for the future of Winslow. It is
designated as the major area of urban concentration -the commercial, cultural and commuter hub of the
Island. The Comprehensive Plan provides three major goals for Winslow:
Strengthen the vitality of downtown Winslow as a place for people to live, shop and work.
Encourage a lively community by having a strong residential component.
Accommodate 50% (3,715 people) of the projected population growth of Bainbridge Island
through the year 2012.
Higher intensity of residential and commercial activity is recommended for Winslow to 1) encourage
development where public facilities and services exist or can be efficiently expanded, 2) provide choice of
housing for all economic segments of the population, 3) reduce sprawl elsewhere on the Island, 4)
encourage efficient multimodal transportation, and 5) encourage economic development within Winslow.
While the Comprehensive Plan establishes the overall framework for the city, including_Winslow, the
Winslow Master Plan is needed to:

1. Refine the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan as they relate to Winslow;
2. Develop a detailed facilities and amenities plan, including
• pedestrian and bicycle facilities
• an open space and trails plan
• a transportation circulation system;
3. Prioritize funding to ensure implementation of the Master Plan;
4. Identify impacts and mitigation measures at the planning level that will allow for more streamlined
approval of permit applications;
5. Identify implementation strategies; and
6. Develop a monitoring program to ensure that the Master Plan is implemented.
There are -be impacts on Winslow from additional population, both on- and off-Island, and from
additional ferry traffic, resulting in increased pressure on the character and vitality of Winslow. The
challenge of the Master Plan is to accommodate the anticipated additional growth and development
and maintain and enhance the character and vitality of Winslow as the Island's
economic and community center.
The Master Plan was developed to be consistent with the goals and requirements of the Growth
Management Act (GMA), Multi-County Policies, and the Kitsap County-Wide Planning Policies.
VISIONS FOR WINSLOW -KEY CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PLAN
The overall goal of the Master Plan is to strengthen the vitality of Winslow as the town center in which
we live, shop and work, b~promotin~ connections between sustainability, livability and downtown
business vitality, and also by enhancing_pedestrian accessibility in Winslow. The Master Plan focuses on
the creation of an enhanced, continuous pedestrian and bicycle experience within Winslow, linking access
to retail shopping, the ferry, major public facilities, open space and residential areas throu an integrated
multi-modal transportation system that supports Winslow as the commercial, cultural and community
center for the Island. B~g_pedestrian circulation easy and enjoyable, a vibrant retail core and strong
residential community can be sustained and enhanced. The Plan promotes policies that encourage
residential and mixed use development in the Town Center and High School Road Districts, rather than
commercial-only development.

^ The Island is a complete community: Winslow develops as a sustainable, affordable diverse livable
and economically vital downtown. Development is allowed in a manner that encourages
environmentally and economically sound growth, and also protects and conserves resources and
lifestyles that would otherwise be impacted in outl~g areas of the Island.
^ Winslow Way is the Centerpiece of Downtown: Pedestrians Gather on a street with vibrant retail and
attractive places. A simple streetscape retains small-town character and a "sense of place."
^ The Town Grows "Green": Downtown grows softer, greener, taller and more vibrant.
^ The Town Center Remains Vital: People choose to live in apedestrian-supportive town center where
they find a range of housing choices and convenient services.
^ Transportation Choices are Available: Visitors travel to town on foot, on bicycles, in boats, using
transit or in cars. Drivers are encoura eg d to `park once" and become pedestrians.
^ The Walk-About Experience Invites Discovery: An organic grid of eclectic lanes, alleys, paths and
trails encoura eg s exploration. Visitors discover diverse businesses and unique neighborhoods where
culture, history and the natural environment are celebrated.
^ The Cultural & Civic Campus is Alive: People are drawn downtown to env events and performances
at City Hall, theatres, museums, Galleries and the market.
^ The Ravine is Celebrated: Crossing the ravine recalls the bridle that once connected the historic towns
of Hawley and Madrone. Trails along the ravine link neighborhoods to town and the waterfront.
^ Greenwavs are Established: A series of egr en spaces connect the community, define character and
protect resources.
^ The Harbor is Connected: Winslow is experienced as a waterfront town: well-connected to Eagle
Harbor by activities, trails, views, lanes and design details.
^ The Waterfront is Engaging: People are drawn to waterfront parks, restored shorelines and beaches by
activities and attractive lanes, pathways and watercourses. Pritchard Park, Waterfront Park and the Hall
Property are linked by land and the Waterfront Trail.
^ History is Preserved: Our awareness of history is increased throu interpretive and preservation
programs.
WINSLOW TOMORROW PROJECT
In 2004, the community embarked on a planning process to further define the plan for downtown
Winslow, with a focus on Winslow Way and the Core. This planning effort, known as Winslow
Tomorrow, focused on sustaining Winslow as the Island's center of culture, commerce and community,
with the challenge of envisioning the ideal downtown of today and the future.
The Winslow Tomorrow plan strengthens the vision of apedestrian-oriented mixed-use town center as
provided in the Winslow Master Plan, focusing on Winslow Way and the Core by identifying locations
for new streets, ,green spaces and development, and proposing~olicies and projects that encourage higher
density/intensity development, a mix of uses, more downtown residences and expanded services for a
rg owin island population.
PROCESS USED TO DEVELOP THE WINSLOW MASTER PLAN
Winslow Master Plan Committee
The Winslow Master Plan Committee (composed of representatives of the business community,
neighborhood groups, and the design and development community) developed the draft Winslow Master
Plan with assistance from urban design, transportation, market analysis and planning consultants and City
staff.
Ordinance 2006-20 Third Reading
November 8, 2006
The Committee began its work by reviewing the goals and policies of the adopted Comprehensive Plan.
The Committee also considered the results of a Design Workshop held in February 1994 to examine the
viability of the Comprehensive Plan for Winslow. (The Workshop was conducted by a group of local
design professionals, members of the local business community and representatives of neighborhood
groups.)
The Committee then began to develop a list of issues which needed to be addressed in the Master Plan
(Issues Identified by the Winslow Master Plan Committee, February, 1996). The Committee conducted a
public meeting in February, 1996 to obtain community comments on the issues (Issues Raised at the
Winslow Master Plan Public Workshop, February 26, 1996, revised March 15, 1996).
Next, the Committee examined the different ways to meet the goals and policies of the Comprehensive
Plan and to address the issues identified by the Committee and the community. Alternative solutions
were explored which involved tradeoffs, prioritizing of funding of capital improvements and developing
creative solutions. A second public meeting was held in April, 1996 to obtain community input on
possible alternatives.
After that meeting, the Committee worked with the consultants and City staff to develop a draft Master
Plan. This draft Plan presented three alternatives to address future development and growth in the
Winslow Study Area: 1) a preferred alternative, the Sanctuary Plan; 2) the Dispersed Alternative; and 3)
an analysis of the existing Comprehensive Plan recommendations, the "No Action" Alternative.
Washington State Ferries (WSF) and Kitsap Transit, with community input, developed the October, 1995
draft Ferry Terminal Zone Master Plan to address WSF proposed future plans for the ferry terminal in
Winslow. WSF, Kitsap Transit and the City have worked together and with the Winslow Master Plan
Committee, the Planning Commission and the City Council to integrate the WSF/Kitsap Transit draft Plan
into the Winslow Master Plan in order to have one integrated plan for Winslow's future that addresses the
needs and goals of WSF and the Bainbridge Island community.
On January 30, 1997 the Winslow Master Plan Committee and the Bainbridge Island Planning
Commission held a joint public hearing on the draft Winslow Master Plan and EIS. The draft Ferry
Terminal Plan prepared by Washington State Ferries was also included in the Winslow Master Plan. The
public hearing was attended by approximately 300 citizens. In addition to the oral public comment taken
at that hearing, written comment was accepted through February 28, 1997. Based on a review of those
comments, the Winslow Master Plan Committee then made revisions to the January draft Winslow
Master Plan, and forwarded the revised document to the Planning Commission for review. The Planning
Commission also received copies of all public comments.
Planning Commission
The Planning Commission held several study sessions to review the revised draft Winslow Master Plan.
The Commission then convened a public hearing on May 22, 1997 in order to elicit further oral and
written public comment on the revised Plan. This public hearing was followed by a number of Planning
Commission study sessions to review the Plan in response to public comment and then revise the Plan.
City Council
Upon completion of this process, the Planning Commission forwarded the document to City Council for
review in the fall of 1997. During a number of study sessions the Council reviewed the draft Plan and the
Planning Commission's recommended changes. Issues requiring additional analysis were referred to the
Land Use and Public Works committees of the Council. The Council also appointed a special Capital
Facilities Task Force composed of the chairs of the Public Works and Finance committees and a City
Ordinance 2006-20 Third Reading
November 8, 2006

Council member who had served on the Winslow Master Plan Committee to review the capital facilities
portion of the Master Plan. On January 29, 1998 the City Council held a public meeting to obtain further
comment on the draft Plan, with particular emphasis on transportation and WSF-related issues. The
Council then held several more meetings to study and discuss the Plan. A second public meeting that
focused on land use and capital facilities issues was held on April 16, 1998.
Extensive efforts were taken at each stage of the Master Plan process to inform and involve the public.
Public workshops and meetings were publicized as much as possible. Articles and announcements
appeared in the newspapers, and posters and displays were placed in prominent public locations such as
the local grocery stores, the public library and the ferry terminal. Flyers were mailed out to community
organizations, citizen committees, business owners, architects, builders and developers, and residents
living within the study area. Announcements for two of the public meetings were inserted in City utility
bills. Flyers were also distributed to drivers and passengers waiting in Seattle to board the Bainbridge-
bound ferry during the peak p.m. commute hours.
City staff and consultants and WSF representatives also gave presentations and answered questions at a
number of smaller meetings organized by the Chamber of Commerce, Team Winslow and the Municipal
League. All of these efforts were aimed at communicating information on the Master Plan to as wide an
audience as possible.
RANGE OF ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Three alternatives to implement the Comprehensive Plan goals and policies for Winslow and to address
the identified issues were considered in developing this Plan: (a) the No Action Alternative, (b) the
preferred Sanctuary Alternative and (c) the Dispersed Alternative.
No Action
The No Action alternative relied on the vision of the Comprehensive Plan and implementing ordinances
that have been enacted since Plan adoption. Because the Comprehensive Plan provided for base density
increases and pursued a population goal in Winslow of 3,700 new residents, it is possible that some of the
Comprehensive Plan vision could be achieved. It is less likely that the vision of a vibrant town center,
high level of pedestrian circulation or interesting mix of uses would be met. The No Action Alternative
was retained for further evaluation, partly to act as a benchmark to test other alternatives and partly
because other alternatives considered would require amendments to policies contained in the
Comprehensive Plan.
The Sanctuary Plan (The Preferred Alternative)
This approach, which was identified by the Committee as its preferred alternative, seeks to maximize
pedestrian circulation in the Core through provision of a comprehensive pedestrian system of sidewalks
and trails while de-emphasizing vehicular circulation through the use of traffic calming techniques and
the reduction of impacts from ferry-related traffic. Residential development densities in the Core are
promoted as a means of assuring an active and vibrant village center. Transit is relied upon to aid in
circulation throughout the Core.
The Dispersed Alternative
This alternative proposed a certain accommodation of vehicular needs while also providing for basic
pedestrian circulation. It would ease vehicular circulation through the provision of additional vehicular
access (both north-south and east-west) but would also pursue some traffic calming goals. Overall
density in the Mixed Use Town Center and High School Road Districts would be similar to the
Ordinance 2006-20 Third Reading

"Sanctuary" Plan but could be more dispersed. Transit would be a key component in aiding circulation in
the Core.
PLANNING PROCESS FOR WINSLOW TOMORROW PROJECT
Community Congress
For more than a year be ig nning in 2004, a group of over one hundred members of the Community
Congress collaborated on a flan for downtown Winslow, known as Winslow Tomorrow. Appointed by the
Mayor, the volunteer Con eg~• ss represented a diverse group -- new and long-time residents from all parts
of the Island, business and property owners, those who commute berry and those who work on-Island,
retirees and teens, and members of many of the community's numerous commissions, organizations and
interest groups. Challenged to "envision the ideal downtown of today and the future", the first Convention
of the Winslow Tomorrow Community Congress was held in September 2004. Together the Community
Congress worked, learned and crafted a unique plan and set of recommended actions focused on
sustaining~Winslow as the Island's center of culture, commerce and community.
Working with the community and staff, the Congress developed the Winslow Tomorrow Mission: the
Ci , will partner with the Bainbridge Island community to:
• Achieve Council adoption of a Downtown Urban Design Plan that supports and encourages
private and public reinvestment and investment in downtown development.
• Implement an exemplar improvement project along and near Winslow Wav that addresses
infrastructure needs and incorporates place-making elements.
• Increase Islander awareness and understanding of the significance of downtown as a cultural,
social, and economic hub of the island.
The community-based planning effort of Winslow Tomorrow provided a unique opportunity for the
community to be visionary and to promote the Island's economic, environmental and social sustainability
by creating an integrated, long-term vision that could guide this Growth, includins:
• Illuminating the connection between sustainability, livability and downtown vitality, helping the
community to understand environmentally and economically sound growth in Winslow as a way
to protect the lifestyle and conserve resources on the rest of the Island.
• Promoting multi-modal transportation choices that are inte argr ted systems linking Island and
neighborhood residences to the business core.
• Recommending innovative and sustainable buildin teg_ chniques.
• Interrelating land use tran~ortation, place-making; and environmental issues and solutions rather
than dealing with them in isolation and one issue at a time.
The planning~rocess involved four phases• Inquiry Options Development and Evaluation of
Alternatives and Recommendations with periodic updates to the community and the Citv Council. The
process was facilitated bxa team of citizen volunteers and supported by City staff, including afull-time
project manager The Communi Congress was involved in crafting_the problem statement and
developing decision criteria The specific recommendations were developed in smaller working
committees comprised of staff members of the Congress consultants and citizen facilitators. The entire
community was invited to Community Congress conventions, Council presentations and a speaker series,
"Envision Tomorrow."
Ordinance 2006-20 Third Reading
November 8, 2006
Inquiry Phase
This phase focused on exploring the qualities of a successful downtown considering character
transportation, parking, sustainability, economics, business and development.
Darin this phase the community learned that retaining_small businesses independent retailers and
relevant businesses on our main street is a priority and a challenge for the Island. Sustainabili emerged
as a shared value; however, throu out the process it was challenging to reconcile differing definitions of
sustainability. Although there was acreement that sustainable solutions must address economic social
and ecological concerns, each community member views sustainability throuch different lenses and
places emphasis on different aspects influenced by~ersonal values and experiences. The Committees
worked together toward balanced solutions.
Option Phase
In the previous 30 years, the Island has grown by almost 10,000 people. Population projections indicate a
similar rate of growth can be expected over the next 30 years. Darin this phase, challenges to sustaining
a vital downtown and explored alternative futures were identified, including~utting in place policX
changes, infrastructure and amenities to allow Winslow to evolve and yet retain a strong sense of
community well-being and the desirable qualities of a small town and a green island. It was reco ized
that the community is challenged with finding the best solution, given the growth pressure and the
changes underway on Bainbridge and in the greater Puget Sound region.
Development and Evaluation of Alternatives
During this phase, the community be ag n exploring where we might build most responsibly and what form
new downtown development should take. Preliminary alternatives were developed in a design charrette
and community workshop where volunteer urban desigaiers, architects and artists worked beside
developers, environmentalists and citesplanners, ultimately fmding broad agreement on eight aiding
principles. There was agreement on the need for a flexible "blueprint" of what to build, as well as a
"greenprint" of what to preserve and the importance of the natural landscape informing urban design_It
was agreed that the plan for Winslow should be flexible, allowing the downtown to evolve or~ly
over time rather than promoting immediate wholesale change. Urban design, transportation and finance
consultants were retained to further develop and evaluate alternatives.
Recommendation Phase
Recommendations were developed by smaller committees working_with professional consultants. The
recommendations respond to the challenges and ug iding.,principles endorsed by the Communit,~Congress
and the City Council. These recommendations were reviewed by internal and external leadership teams
comprised of City staff and Communi , Congress participants. The draft recommendations were
presented and reviewed by the Congress and the community in a 5th Congress Convention.
Winslow Tomorrow Recommendations
The Winslow Tomorrow plan recommends apedestrian-oriented mixed-use town center, focusing on
Winslow Way and the Core, and identifies locations for new streets, green spaces and development.
Recommended policies and projects encourage hi er density, a mix of uses, more downtown residences
and expanded services to serve the Cowin isg land population. The plan describes the amenities and
infrastructure needed to keep downtown vital, improve livability and retain character.
Ordinance 2006-20 Third Reading
November 8, 2006
Implementation of the Winslow Tomorrow recommendations were processed by the Planning
Department, converting these into amendments to the Comprehensive Plan, Winslow Master Plan or
Bainbridge Island Municipal Code.
Planning Commission
The Planning Commission held several study sessions to review the proposed revisions to the Winslow
Master Plan related to implementation of Winslow Tomorrow. The Commission then held a public
hearin own Ju_ly__13, 2006, in order to elicit further oral and written public comment on the Plan revisions.
This public hearing was followed by a Planning Commission study session to review the amendments in
response to public comment. The Commission then forwarded their recommendation to the City Council.
City Council
At five public meetings the Council reviewed and discussed the proposed Winslow Tomorrow
amendments to the Winslow Master Plan.
Ordinance 2006-20 Third Reading
November 8, 2006
Section 2. Chapter 2 of the Winslow Master Plan, "Land Use," is amended as follows:
CHAPTER 2
LAND USE
EXISTING CONDITIONS
(See Appendix A for a More Detailed Discussion)
General Land Use Pattern
Winslow has the land use pattern of a small-scale town which was established during the eazly
decades of the twentieth century and overlaid with post-waz development patterns. The original,
tightly configured variety of shops, workplaces, and housing began to be replaced with lazger
buildings surrounded by pazking, structures set back from the street and residential subdivisions.
In more recent years, with the development of major convenience retail along High School Road,
the role of the original town center along Winslow Way has been altered. Figure ~ 2_1 depicts
the azrangement of land uses.
Previously, people who lived in Winslow were concentrated within fairly close proximity to the
ferry terminal. Indeed, most of the rest of Bainbridge Island was rural and agricultural.
Residents could meet most of their needs in the town's commercial center. Over the yeazs, the
center has become as much a social center of the community as an economic one. This role still
exists today, as neighbors can run into one another on the streets and in the stores, and enjoy the
intimacy, cordiality, and personal relationships of a small town. Fortunately, the land use pattern
in the older part of Winslow still reinforces this behavior, although it too has been affected by the
amount of space consumed by the moving and parking of autos. Although much of its character
remains relatively intact, the town has seen its finely grained arrangement of land uses pulled
apart by standards which govern parking and streets.
The land use portion of this Master Plan focuses on those azeas referred to in the 1994
Comprehensive Plan as the Mixed-Use Town Center and High School Road Districts. These
areas contain most of the retail and office activities of old Winslow and a relatively dense
population. The limits of this azea are shown as the Primary Study Area on Figure ~ 2_l. For
context and connectivity,
r~-es the Secondary Study Area ~~ir.~-~n~~~.-which is tar eta
receive 25% of the Island's future growth-is also included in the Master Plan. (See Fi urg e 2.2)
Total acreage within the study area is estimated at 1,527, of which approximately X99 120 acres
aze currently vacant. Total acreage within the Mixed-Use Town Center portion of the study azea
is estimated at 258 acres, of which approximately ~ 28 acres aze currently vacant.
Within Winslow, there are a number of distinct areas. The original town center along Winslow
Way and lower Madison Avenue contains numerous small uses -convenience stores, specialty
Ordinance 2006-20 Third Reading
November 8, 2006
10
shops, banks, services, and cafes largely located within one-story buildings. The major
exception is the Town and Country Supermarket, which has a large footprint building and an
expansive parking lot. One of the attributes of the retail uses along Winslow Way West is that
there has been some degree of turnover, resulting in occasionally vacant storefronts. However,
there is still a strong concentration of retail uses -both convenience and specialty stores -
along Winslow Way and Madison. Parfitt Way is lined with small commercial uses next to the
marinas. Surrounding the commercial uses that are concentrated in the core are a number of
multi-story buildings containing apartments and condominiums. "
sig~Fdse-s~et~~=°~es--~~-~lce k~ w.~ ,~~~~~1~
„~~~~°••'~~~'~~ +''° °'a°M'=° As the Master Plan process began, there were only two examples of
"vertical" mixed use: the Winslow Green and Wyatt's Corner. o~w-t~~ti~i~m~
. The adoption of the Master Plan
in 1998 has encouraged the development of a number of mixed-use projects, which have
provided more residential units within walking distance of the downtown.
Ericksen Avenue contains a number of historic houses
These are built almost in the form of a New England village. They are close to the street, close
to each other and have front porches and relatively consistent architectural character. Virtually
all of the older houses now contain commercial uses. This presents a strong image for lower
Ericksen that infuses the rest of the town center with a sense of longevity and stability. Upper
Ericksen has seen some development that is more suburban in nature, breaking the previous
pattern, although very recent development has begun to reflect the more traditional physical
relationships. Certainly, the loss of any of the older structures along Ericksen would damage the
image of Winslow as a small town with a distinct heritage.
Madison Avenue, in contrast to Winslow Way West, has a more diverse mix of post-war and pre-
war development patterns. Buildings are not set close to the street. There is much more of a
pattern of separation between buildings, with trees, yards, and parking areas more prevalent. A
number of historic structures have been identified on Madison Avenue. {~;ee-4~~ Recent
development along Madison Avenue has included the new City Hall, a movie theatre complex
and several condominium projects. The intersection of Madison Avenue and High School Road
is marked by two very important public buildings: the high school, which has a large campus of
structures and spaces, and the public library.
.The
other two corners of this intersection are occupied by churches. A roundabout was constructed
in 2001 to facilitate traffic flow in the intersection.
The land use pattern along High School Road is not unlike that found in many North American
suburban communities. Its pattern is largely the product of contemporary zoning regulations,
street design standards, and market trends. Large, linear buildings, set back from the street
behind parking lots, dominate the area. Individual developments are also pulled apart from each
other, with few obvious connections for people on foot. This is exacerbated by the fact that both
blocks and parcels are relatively large and have few intervening streets, none of which go
through the blocks. Although actual distances are not very great, they seem so due to expanses
of asphalt, fast-moving vehicles, and broad streets. Most of the commercial uses are located
Ordinance 2006-20 Third Reading
November 8, 2006
11
between SR 305 and Madison Avenue, which is the same length as the concentration along
Winslow Way West. tThis
commercial nodes is accessed principally by automobile. In 2006, sixty residential units were
added to High School Road as part of a mixed-use project that includes a hotel.
The SR 305 corridor has significant green space, with mature vegetation associated with a
steeply sloping ravine meandering along its alignment between High School Road and Winslow
Way. Vegetation in this corridor has diminished over the yeazs as a result of adjacent
development. ~13@r$~S a A commercial winery located within the vegetated portion of the
corridor has relocated to east Dap Road, and the site has been developed with amixed-use
project that includes forty-five condominiums. In the vicinity of High School Road, there is less
vegetation; commercial land uses and pazking lots are visually prominent. While these uses aze
visible from the highway, they aze accessible only from High School Road. The limited access
highway is lazgely a greenway dividing Winslow rather than tying it together.
The Ferry Terminal end of the SR 305 Corridor also divides uses along Winslow Way. Virtually
all of the commercial activity is located along Winslow Way west of SR 305. Winslow Way east
of SR 305 contains several office structures ,but none of these
have the pedestrian-oriented characteristics of the uses west of SR 305. A lazge mixed-use
project on a 4.33 acre parcel on the north side of Winslow Way, across from the ferry terminal, is
scheduled for completion in 2007. This project includes 180 residential units and small-scale
commercial development intended to serve ferry riders. The parking lots associated with the
ferry terminal constitute a major use of land east of SR 305. Although there are a number of
privately-owned lots, they abut one another and present a lazge expanse of surface area devoted
exclusively to ferry commuter pazking. Policies in the Comprehensive Plan suggest the
desirability of transforming this area into a new, small neighborhood of multiple family housing,
office use, retail uses aimed at commuter traffic, and a new street network that would break up
the lazge tracts.
The edges of the town center quickly graduate downwazd in intensity from medium density
multiple-family housing to single-family detached residential. No commercial uses aze found
azound the perimeter. Residents use both the older azea azound the center of Winslow and the
new area along High School Road for goods and services. These two concentrations of
commercial land use, while somewhat competitive, offer residents many choices within close
proximity to where they live. Moreover, they serve a social function in that people can easily
maintain contacts with friends and other residents. For the most part, this social activity occurs
during the daytime; only grocery stores and a few restaurants remain open during the evening.
A number of historical structures and sites in Winslow have been identified and, since adoption
of the Winslow Master Plan, the City has established a Historic Preservation Commission which

Finally, Winslow is a waterfront community. A good measure of its history and image has been
tied to uses along the waterfront. Although types of uses along the waterfront have changed over
the yeazs, for the most pazt the community is still cut off from its primary amenity. The

waterfront park provides some degree of access, but the trees and structures within it cut off
visual access from locations upland. There are still some industrial uses such as the ferry
maintenance facility that prevent access. The marinas offer some degree of access, but present a
largely private enclave along the water.
Population and Market Background
In order for a vibrant mixed use town center to succeed as envisioned in the Comprehensive
Plan, there must be an underlying source of demand for both the residential and commercial
uses. The Master Plan process required an understanding of the trends affecting development of
various uses in Winslow, an evaluation of site-specific development opportunities, and an
identification of regulatory approaches and incentives that could increase the likelihood of
success. To this end, the City contracted with Property Counselors, an economic consulting
firm, to prepare a market analysis. The resulting study, "Winslow Master Plan Economic
Analysis" (Property Counselors, 1996--Appendix A(1), p~e~ides ,provided detailed information
on ~ local conditions, an analysis and comparison of conditions in other communities in
the region, and projections for potential demand by use. In 2005, Property Counselors updated
this study as part of the Winslow Tomorrow planning_process, in order to determine how recent
development has compared to the 1996 projections, and whether opportunities identified then
still exist. ("Winslow Tomorrow Update of Market and Economic Findin sg Property
Counselors, January 2005, Appendix A (4). A summary of these updated findings is discussed
below:
Regional Context
Winslow is located in Kitsap County in the Central Puget Sound region, which comprises Kitsap,
King, Pierce, and Snohomish Counties. King County is the dominant county of the four with
55% of the regional population in 1990 and 67% of the jobs. The region is projected to grow by
46,000 persons per year between 1990 and 2020. Kitsap County's share of regional population
is projected to increase from 7% to 8% by 2020. The county will continue to be a net exporter of
residents to jobs. As the major employment center in the area, downtown Seattle represents a
daily destination for residents throughout the region.
Winslow can be compared to other communities in the region. Beyond the first tier of areas
around the Seattle Central Business District, existing communities are mature and largely built-
out; Winslow can compete effectively in terms of commute time with these areas. Winslow has
a small and specialized downtown by regional standards, but it is similar to other waterfront
communities in terms of level of employment and scope of its businesses. Winslow offers an
opportunity to provide a more balanced distribution of incomes than either the close-in Seattle
communities or the other waterfront communities in the region.
Residential
There are two obvious segments of potential demand for residential growth in Winslow:
households with one or more members working in downtown Seattle (often younger families just
getting started), and current residents of the Island looking for smaller, lower maintenance
dwelling units (often empty nesters). Within these groups there is a clear need for affordable
housing.
Ordinance 2006-20 Third Reading
November 8, 2006
13
The segments described above aze the two most obvious ones. In addition, there will be interest
by young families attracted to the local schools and Island lifestyle. While many of them will be
attracted to single-family units, there will certainly be a percentage who will be interested in
higher density alternatives in Winslow prior to starting their families.
In all cases, the demand for housing in Winslow will be related to the azea's ability to maintain
and enhance an active and attractive physical setting. In addition, the demand will depend on
housing opporhanities in the Seattle Central Business District, Denny Regrade and South Lake
Union. If Seattle's proposed urban villages aze slow to realize their visions, Winslow will offer a
particulazly strong alternative.
Multifamily development was strong in Winslow between 1996-2004, with approximately 300
new units built during this period. Close to 400 new units were underway as of mid-2006. Most
of the recent multifamily development has been condominiums many of which aze designed to
have the appeazance of cottages or stand-alone residences. There has not been much apartment
development.
Office
Office-type uses on the Island fall into one of two categories: businesses serving Island
residents, and businesses serving a lazger mazket azea but choosing to locate on the Island,
perhaps because the owner lives here. The demand for office space for the former businesses
will grow as the Island population grows; the demand for the latter will depend on whether
businesses continue to choose Winslow over alternative locations, and also on the impact of
home-based businesses. Enhancement of Winslow as an active, pedestrian-oriented district
would increase its attractiveness somewhat for such businesses.
Approximately 78,000 square feet of new office space was added to Winslow during. the period
1996-2004, most of which was built outside of the Core District. At the time of the 2005
Property Counselors update, office vacancies were high as a result of recent construction and
loss of major tenants. However, actual absorption exceeded previous projections.
Retail
Winslow has the potential to serve in three roles as a retail center:
• for residents in the immediate azea,
• for residents of the Island-wide market azea, and
• as a specialty destination for visitors from elsewhere in the region.
New residents in Winslow will spend relatively more of their income in Winslow than residents
elsewhere. Population growth in the rest of the Island over the next 20 yeazs will also result in
increased demand for retail trade and services. The potential demand for new retail space to
service visitors is somewhat speculative. (The d Economic Element of the Comprehensive
Plan addresses the role of tourism in the Island's economy.)
Total commercial potential (office and retail) is estimated at 520,000 squaze feet through the year
2012. The ability to achieve this number may be limited by available vacant parcels and/or
parcels with redevelopment potential. A review of land availability and zoning limitations
Ordinance 2006-20 Third Reading
November 8, 2006
14
conducted as part of the 1998 Master Plan effort suggests that approximately 440,000 square feet
of new commercial use could actually develop. {e~~}}
During the period 1996-2004, almost 66,000 square feet of new retail development was added to
Winslow, most of which is located outside of the Core District. The limited amount of new retail
in the Core is due in part to the fact that new development in this area requires the redevelopment
of existing improved sites, the economics of which presents special challenges.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FRAMEWORK
The Comprehensive Plan policies identify the Mixed-Use Town Center as the commercial and
civic core of the community, with a wide variety of residential choices. New development would
be encouraged in the Winslow town center as one strategy to preserve the character of the Island.
In addition, planning policies seek to create a core that is active, pedestrian-oriented, and filled
with new housing choices to reduce sprawl and encourage multi-modal transportation.
Furthermore, Winslow would be the focus of new commercial development.
The Plan recognizes that considerable growth will occur simply due to natural market forces but
suggests that improvements and strategies will be required to direct the location, intensity, and
quality of development. Civic facilities and recreation would be provided within Winslow, while
development standards would guide the form and character of new development. There would be
more parking available which would be managed more efficiently. A fundamental concept in the
Plan is to achieve increased density in the Town Center
through three mechanisms: transferring development rights from outlying agricultural and
environmentally "sensitive" lands, density bonuses for providing affordable housing, and density
bonuses for contributing to public infrastructure or public amenities beyond what might be
required to mitigate the impacts of a development.
The Mined-Use Town Center establishes five overlay districts with policies intended to reflect
different existing conditions and goals for each district. (See Figure ~
The Central Core Overlay District is the most intense, with both single purpose commercial
development and mixed use development. Design standards would recognize the more urban
character of this area.
The Ericksen Avenue Overlay District is intended to preserve the unique, small-scale historic
character provided by the older single-family houses. Conversion to non-residential use is
allowed, but any additions would have to be made to the rear. New development would need to
maintain the overall character of the street. The portion of this district between Winslow and
Wyatt Way would not be eligible to receive bonus density.
The Madison Avenue Overlay District allows for a mix of residential and small-scale
nonresidential development. However, single-purpose commercial development is not allowed;
the intent is to emphasize higher density residential use in this area.
Ordinance 2006-20 Third Reading
November 8, 2006
15
The Gateway Overlay District principally addresses the desire to protect the ravine through
designation of appropriate land uses and/or acquisition of land or easements. The SR 305
corridor is recognized as an important visual gateway to the Island and as a potential passive
open space.
The Ferry Terminal Overlay District contains policies that recognize its potential as a new,
higher density residentiaUoffice neighborhood. Policies indicate the need to accommodate the
functional requirements of this regional transportation hub while enhancing it through means
such as underground parking, landscaping, signage, and buffers. Language in the plan indicates
the need for coordination between the State, the City, Kitsap Transit, and the owners of property
both within the Ferry Terminal District and the Gateway District.
The Commercial High School Road Districts contain policies that promote the provision of
goods and services for residents. While some uses may be automobile-oriented, the overall
pattern of uses should promote pedestrian access and movement. Development standards would
address the form, orientation, and bulk of buildings, as well as landscaping, open space,
circulation, and signage.
A policy regarding the Water-Dependent Industrial District calls for new and expanded
development to provide physical and/or visual access to shorelines and visual access to the
facilities. This suggests the need for better relationships between activities along the shoreline
and those that are upland.
Another policy calls for retaining the current allowable densities for the Urban Multi-Family
District, but there is a suggestion that this district might be eligible to receive additional density
through Transfer of Development Rights (TDRs). Policies for this district also call for landscape
buffers between multiple family and single-family development and indicate a list of possible
design standards.
Other policies contained within the section addressing Winslow are relevant to the master plan.
Policies call for retaining the pattern of single family development around the edges of Winslow.

MASTER PLAN LAND USE POLICIES
Overview
The Master Plan builds on the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. Producing the
effects called for in the Master Plan will require relatively minor adjustments and refinements to
the current land use policies and map for Winslow. This is due to the extent of work that was
~ese~y accomplished during the development of the City's Comprehensive Plan. The
Comprehensive Plan has defined the parameters into which the Master Plan should fit.
The Plan recognizes and emphasizes the vitality and importance of Winslow and its retail core.
The area defined as the Winslow Master Plan study area Esee~re-~ is designated to receive
50% of the allocation of future growth for the Island. The Master Plan assumes that asub-target
of up to 50% of this new residential development-or 25% of the Island's total growth__will be
concentrated within the Mixed-Use Town Center and the High School Road Districts (wee
Based on the City of Bainbridge Island population growth of 7,430 over the period ending
2012, and Winslow's portion thereof at 3,715 people, the associated growth in Winslow housing
units would be approximately 1,500 dwelling units.
Discussion: Achieving the population projections, and the associated 1,500 dwelling units,
involves some denser single family (on smaller lots) and multiple family developments. This
new development, whether in stacked flats, row houses, duplexes, small lot single family or other
forms, is expected to be built on both vacant lots and lots that are not developed to the intensity
allowed by the existing zoning. The location, intensity, mix and connections between
developments would be done in a way that is conducive to walking, biking and transit and that is
supported by the availability of public infrastructure -streets, utilities, and public open space.
° With the strategies contained in the
Master Plan, it should be possible for Winslow to absorb this additional increment without
producing a dramatic change in the pattern, intensity or appearance of development. ~e
.However, the focus and form of development will be somewhat
different. The land use policies; s
described below address the issues of focus and form in each of the districts.

Goal WMP 2-5: Determine density and intensity of development in the Mixed Use Town
Center and High School Road Districts through the Floor Area Ratio (FAR method.
an~eril}1--le~e~e~ii~tei~Si~3~i~-set-fc~-~t~ ~",+ +t,o o ,.+ ~ ..,,t.e,. „~,,,,;+~ : „+ ~ ,.;boa
Discussion: Floor area ratio refers to a figure that expresses the total allowable floor area in
relation to the total lot area. This figure is determined by dividing the floor area of all buildings
on a lot by the lot area. For example, if a lot is 25,000 square feet and the FAR is 1.0, then the
total square footage allowed would be: 25,000 x 1 = 25,000 sq. ft. A development of 1 FAR
could have up to 25,000 sq. ft. of development that could be commercial or residential.
~~;~e~ Although density is frequently defined by dwelling units per acre in suburban
communities that are comprised of single-use districts, it is less useful in areas where a mixture
of uses is desired. Using FARs provides flexibility to design a project to address a particular
site. The use of FAR allows the market to determine the number and size of units and the mix in
the type of development. (Conventional density limits can discourage affordability since
smaller, less expensive units count the same as larger, more expensive ones.)
Ordinance 2006-20 Third Reading
November 8, 2006
24
It is possible to relate FAR to a range of achievable units per acre, as follows:
0.4 FAR would produce 8-20 units per acre
0.8 FAR would produce 16-40 units per acre
1.5 FAR would produce 24-60 units per acre
The unit range results from the variety of unit sizes that can occur.
Parking requirements also influence the number of units that a site could accommodate. The
form of parking also affects the extent to which a development actually reaches the densities
suggested by each range. Surface parking coupled with larger average unit sizes would tend to
produce the lower end of the range, while structured parking coupled with smaller average unit
sizes would allow the higher end to be possible.
FAR allows uses to be weighted according to the characteristics of a particular district. For
example, one district might allow an FAR of 0.4 for commercial and 0.4 for residential, while
another might allow 0.4 for commercial and 0.8 for residential. Each development would be a
unique blend of uses and unit sizes.
Policy WMP 2-5.1: Establish l~base floor area ratio levels e€ for commercial, residential and
mixed-use development (FAR) for the each of the five overlay districts in the
MLTTC and the High School Road Districts, in coordination with a study of the necessary
infrastructure, particularly transportation.
Policv WMP 2-5.2: Establish z4-maximum FAR levels of development beyond #~is the base is
~ for each of the districts through the use of bonus FAR provisions. The bonus FAR
provisions are a means of advancing specific Comprehensive Plan policies and community

Priorities among the bonus FAR provisions may be established in the zoning code throu the
level of bonus that can be achieved through each of the provisions, and by phasing

Ferry Terminal Overlay District
Discussion: The Ferry Terminal area -currently dominated by parking -could witness the greatest
amount of change as it transforms from surface parking lots for commuters to residential with small
amounts of service retail and office development. It is not envisioned to be an extension of the core,
but rather a new neighborhood. Higher density housing is appropriate for this area because of its
proximity to the ferry and downtown and because it is a prime view location. Higher density housing
would also be used as an incentive to offset the cost of placing commuter parking in structures. New
housing would be developed at higher densities ranging from an equivalent of 24 units per acre up to
60 units per acre with maximum use of bonus density provisions for locating existing parking under
buildings or underground. Parking for both commuters and new development may be integrated
within (or under) housing or in adjacent garages.

Policy WMP 2-10.2: All development shall include at least 10% of landscaped or naturally vegetated
open space (parking may be located under the open space.)
Policy WMP 2-10.3: Commuter parking located in the Ferry Terminal District shall be limited in
number and/or area to achieve the following objectives:
• Protect the character of the district from being further dominated by parking;
• Encourage the redevelopment of the district;
• Limit traffic impacts within the Ferry Terminal District, Winslow, and Island-wide;
and
• Encourage transit, non-motorized, and other travel methods as alternatives to low-
occupancy vehicles.
Policy WMP 2-10.4: Allow additional parking spaces in structured parking in the Ferry Terminal
District for use by non-commuter ferry passengers in off-peak hours (e.g., after 9:00 a.m.), when
constructed in conjunction with placement of an equivalent amount of existing surface ferry parking
in structure.
Ferry Terminal -North of Winslow Way
Policy WMP 2-10.5: Non-residential uses are permitted as follows: 1) Commuter-oriented retail and
commuter-oriented services may be located only along Winslow Way, within 100' north of Winslow
Way, with no single use larger than 2,000 square feet. Buildings shall have customer entrances on
Winslow Way. 2) Personal and professional services may be located only along Winslow Way,
within 100' north of Winslow Way. Buildings shall have customer entrances on Winslow Way. 3)
There is no restriction on the location of daycare. 4) Government, educational, cultural and religious
institutions are not permitted north of Winslow Way.
Policy WMP 2-10.6: A one hundred foot wide transition area establishing standards for landscaped
buffers and lower height limits shall be applied as follows: along the west side of Ferncliff Avenue;
the north boundary of the district, east of Cave Avenue; and along both sides of Cave Avenue,
starting approximately 300 feet north of Winslow Way. The purpose of these transition standards is
to protect adjacent residential neighborhoods from adverse impacts of development.
Policy WMP 2-10.7: Should parking needed to serve commercial development not be fully utilized
by a development, then the unused parking may be converted to non-commuter ferry parking. The
property owner would need to demonstrate that the parking was not needed for the commercial uses.
(Allowing unused parking spaces designated for commercial use to be converted to non-commuter
ferry parking could encourage commercial uses that generate minimal traffic.)
Ferry Terminal -South of Winslow Way
Policy WMP 2-10.8: Permit only commuter-oriented retail services, with no single use larger than
2,000 square feet.
Policy WMP 2-10.9: A hotel or inn is permitted south of Winslow Way, with public access to
exterior open space and limited parking.

Ordinance 2006-20 Third Reading
November 8, 2006

Section 3. Chapter 3 of the Winslow Master Plan, "Housing," is amended as follows:
CHAPTER 3
HOUSING
EXISTING CONDITIONS
Winslow contains a broad mix of housing types, from manufactured homes to single-family
detached dwellings to higher density, multi-story apartments and condominiums. ~'~'~
Most of the City's multiple family housing is found within Winslow. This is due to the
availability of appropriate zoning, the prevalence of goods and services and the close proximity
to the ferry terminal, which allows people to commute easily to jobs in Seattle. As the lifestyle
opportunities offered by Bainbridge Island have become increasingly more popular, various
forms of new and less conventional housing have been developed. In recent years, a co-housing
development has been built, duplexes and other attached housing have been developed, a project
containing very small houses tightly arranged around narrow alleys has been completed, and twe
a number of projects that mix residential and commercial uses have been developed. Recent
projects are averaging_ 15 units per acre, with the highest density residential project at 44 units
ep r acre.
While single-family detached housing has been the most prevalent form of residential use, rising
land prices and diminishing land supply have caused property values to increase. Much of the
new housing has attempted to reflect the established character of the Island, with stands of
mature trees preserved, new landscaping added, and small scale proportions used in buildings.
Winslow has seen only some of the large-sized, repetitive multiple family development that has
been occurring elsewhere in the region.
Typically, denser forms of housing are developed where there are amenities close by. The town
center contains many positive attributes, such as proximity to regional transportation, a
waterfront, a friendly, small-town atmosphere, cultural facilities, good schools, and a sense of
being an active, lively community. Nonetheless, it is relatively difficult and takes some extra
effort to develop housing mixed (especially vertically mixed) with other uses because of the
complexities of construction and operational impacts, parking, ownership, building codes, and
financing. Accordingly, initial forms of higher density housing will likely be on sites where
housing is the only use. As land values further increase and property is even more scarce,
developers will begin to look at sites that can accommodate both housing and commercial.
Winslow already has some examples of mixed use development that provide excellent models
for this form of development.
As Winslow becomes a more mature community, it will need to accommodate a range of
household types and incomes. Seniors, singles, and single-parent households all constitute the
fastest growing segments of the population in the region. Many of these households cannot
afford median-priced single-family housing. Fortunately, new forms of housing are being
developed around the region, ~~a ~„ ~I''~"'^•'°, that san m~meet the more modest incomes of
Ordinance 2006-20 Third Reading
November 8, 2006
35
these households, and the City continues to work on new housingprograms and initiatives.
However, left to its own, the mazket will tend to offer choices first to households with higher
incomes.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FRAMEWORK
The Comprehensive Plan contains policies that address the supply, type, and affordability of
housing. Policies also indicate the role that Winslow will play in accommodating new growth.
Policies call for the city to provide a fair shaze of affordable housing in the county, using its
regulatory process and ability to bring together a combination of public and private resources.
Policies also recognize the need to maintain the existing stock of affordable housing, a portion of
which consists of mobile homes that may be subject to redevelopment pressures. The
Comprehensive Plan makes a commitment to increasing the supply of multiple family housing,
both market-rate and rent-assisted, and indicates that affordable housing should be dispersed
throughout the community. Policies also indicate that the City will streamline its regulatory
process and facilitate the provision of housing for populations with special needs.
Within Winslow outside the Mixed-Use Town Center and High School Road Districts in the
azeas that aze zoned for single family development, new housing will likely take the form of
additional single family units and accessory dwelling units.
In theory, the amount of vacant and underdeveloped land should be sufficiently large to
accommodate the projected growth in housing units, assuming that development will be built to
the maximum permitted under City zoning. However, it is not certain that new development or
redevelopment will be using the maximum densities permitted. Some developers may not wish
to participate in the ~BR FAR bonusina system or provide additional affordable units. If most
individual projects in the MUTC and High School Road Districts were built only to the basic
allowable densities, then all vacant and underdeveloped land would have to be used to meet
projected housing needs; this is not a likely prospect. To meet the demand for housing over the
next fifteen yeazs, there will need to be development that exceeds the base densities for those
districts.
In order to facilitate this, the City has recognized the need to allow increased density within the
Mixed-Use Town Center. This is accomplished by allowing density bonuses for various
combinations of mss, density transfers, provision of affordable housing, a~ provision of
infrastructure beyond what is required to miti ag to a project's impacts, and provision of public
amenities. The current TDR program focuses on preservation of farmlands and sensitive azeas;
the emphasis of the first ~e several yeazs of the program is on farmland preservation. £i~se~ke

This concept of increasing housing density is intended to be a part of an overall set of techniques
to encourage forms of housing that can provide options for various households in the town
center. Other techniques ~ese~y permitted by the City include accessory dwellings, flexible lot
design development, cluster development and mixed use.
MASTER PLAN HOUSING POLICIES
Housing Distribution
The Master Plan assumes the Comprehensive Plan target -that the Winslow study area will
accommodate approximately 1,500 new housing units and the Master Plan establishes a
subtarget that up to 50% of this new residential development will be concentrated within the
Mixed-Use Town Center and the High School Road Districts. The change from dwelling units
per acre to FAR could result in additional housing. The MUTC and High School Road Districts
would be more dense than at present. The outer portions of Winslow would receive only modest
increases through the affordable housing program and would not be likely to be perceived much
differently than now since the increases would be distributed over a wider area.
As discussed in the Land Use Chapter, density bonuses will be offered in return for wing

Goal WMP 3-1: Promote and facilitate the provision of diverse and affordable housing

smaller units suitable for small families, single individuals and senior citizens. (WT)
Policy WMP 3-1.2: The bonus FAR program established for the Mixed Use Town Center and
High School Road districts may include a provision that allows bonus FAR to be achieved in
exchange for providing for-rental and for-purchase income-qualified housing_
Policy WMP 3-1.3: Recognizing that rental and homeownership opportunities are important
components of a diverse community and healthy residential market, develop programs and
incentives to encourage a healthy balance between and rental and owner-occupied units.(WT)

Mobile Home Park
Policy WMP 3-1.4: The existing mobile home park situated to the north of the BPA provides
an existing source of affordable housing. Because the site is zoned for higher intensity
residential/commercial use, it is possible that the housing could be lost. Several mechanisms
should be established to encourage the preservation of affordable housing
on the site: (1) the unused development potential from the parcels on which the mobile home
park is located may be transferred to another parcel within the MUTC and (2) allow the
permanent preservation of the mobile homes to be used as an affordable housing bonus on
another parcel within the MUTC.
Navy Housing Site
Policy WMP 3-1.5: If the existing Naval housing area is surplused, that area should be
considered as an additional appropriate site for affordable housing.

EXISTING CONDITIONS
~:,.,._e o ~~.,...,~ .,.~ ,,.,..,~:,.., .,,.a e..+e.,+ ,.~ ..,...,.~~ ,. e e .,a ~e ,.:+;.,e ., a The Winslow area,
though relatively well-developed, contains mature stands of vegetation that are woven through and around
development. However, Winslow contains very little open space that is publicly owned and therefore
protected from development. Waterfront Park and the Winslow Ravine are the two largest open space
areas within the Winslow area. Waterfront Park is approximately 8 acres in size and is the principal
public open space in the town center. .The Ravine
extends north from the waterfront to Hi~,h School Road and provides a substantial corridor of green
. ;however, the Ravine is entirely privately owned. ~kese
While there are numerous parks and recreational open spaces outside of Winslow that
disk are used by residents, visitors, shoppers and office workers, it is often necessary to drive to make
use of them.
. Open space areas in Winslow include, the Ravine, Waterfront Park, the
Farmer's Market area at City Hall, Winslow Green, aone-acre open space at Harbour Square, atot-lot off
of Madison Avenue, a 2.5 -acre nei borhood park along Grow Avenue, a 10-acre park along Weaver
and a 3-acre home-owner controlled park along_Grand Avenue.
As additional development occurs,
residents and workers in the town center will desire access to park and recreation facilities, both active
and passive. While some of this can be provided as part of a development, it is not possible to meet these
needs on an incremental, project-by-project basis.
Figure 4.1 shows the location and extent of parks, open space and environmentally sensitive areas. Figure
4.2 shows the location of existing
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FRAMEWORK
The Comprehensive Plan lees offers sere policy guidance specifically aimed at providing additional
open space within Winslow. The Comprehensive Plan states that design standards should contain
provisions for green space for the Mixed Use Town Center, High School Road and Urban Multi-Family
districts. There are also policies that address the need for open space on the Island as a whole. A network
of greenways is envisioned to lace throughout the community, offering views, wildlife habitat, and

recreational connections and storm detention. Within Winslow, both the waterfront and the Ravine are
viewed as a part of this expansive network. Furthermore, portions of SR 305 are considered to have
scenic value.
Within Winslow, opportunities for large aggregations of open space are very limited. Furthermore,
Winslow is viewed as receiving a considerable amount of commercial and residential intensity over the
next twenty years. Accordingly, open space needs would have to be met at smaller scale through
neighborhood and community parks, boulevards, squares, plazas, pathways, and even sidewalks. Se~xe
Trails should serve a number of functions that encourage passive and active pursuits such as recreation,
shopping and commuting to work or school. Linkages should be provided between residential areas,
public transportation and commercial and recreational areas. The Plan encourages the retention of
existing informal or private pathways and the creation of new pathways.

MASTER PLAN OPEN SPACE/TRAILS POLICIES
Overview
In order to create a sustainable community in Winslow ecological connections must be strengthened and
enhanced. Development of Winslow will include e an open space network consisting of a
combination of small pocket parks and larger parks, private open space and portions of the natural
systems such as the Ravine and drainage facilities that would be used for passive recreation and trails
to provide for the needs of the residents of Bainbridge Island in the
future, and for those who live, work or shop in Winslow.

Goal WMP 4-2: As new growth is concentrated in the Winslow area. there will be a need for
z--~-ttsr~s~:.entrally-located parks and gatherinE places for passive recreation; therefore, usable
parks throughout the Winslow area should be created or enhanced.
WMP 4-2.1 Improve and enhance existing arks in the downtown area. (WT)
Waterfront Park
WMP 4-2.2: Winslow should be experienced as a waterfront town well-connected to Eagle Harbor bX
activity, trails, views, lanes and design details. An attractive Waterfront Park will connect Winslow to the
waterfront, drawing people from the central retail area to the harbor and showcasing the waterfront

character of the community. To achieve this connection, the Waterfront Park Master Plan should be
dated and implemented.
WMP 4-2.3: New parks should be acquired ranging from pocket parks (approx. 10,000 sf.) to sites up to
1 acre, for a total of up to 2 to 3 acres.
Discussion: These parks could be either an acre or more in size or pocket parks, depending on site
availability and distribution. ,
The final
configuration of these parks would be based in part on opportunities, such as future private development
and City capital improvements.
Trails
Goal 4-3: Encourage maintenance and use of existing trails and development of additional trail
connections to complement sidewalk and roadway connections.
MUTC/Sigh School Road Trails
WMP 4-3.1: Develop mid-block north south and east/west trail systems that complement the proposed
sidewalk and roadway improvements program. ActivelXwork to develop the trails identified in the Non-
motorized Transportation Plan and z4acquire land, ri is-of--way, r easements as necessary,
to develop the €ellewi~g trails:
• Two major north/south connections between Winslow Way and High School Road: the area between
SR 305 and Ferncliff to John Nelson Park and a trail from Waterfront Park to the High School Road
area.
• An east-west pedestrian connection at Knechtel and a pedestrian overpass of SR 305. Consider
paving this trail.
• Amid-block trail system from lower Grow Avenue and the Navy site to the Winslow retail core,
including the new street adjacent to the B.P.A., continuing onto and connecting with the ferry
terminal area. This path would be more urban in character and would be integrated into future retail
or mixed-use activities.
• Connect to trail system to be developed from Madison Avenue to Grow Avenue through to Weaver
Way, using Shepherd Way right-of--way.
• An east/west connection from Nakata Avenue to Madison Avenue at Wallace Way.
WMP 4.3.2: Work with Washington State Ferries to ensure preservation of open space and trail
connections in Winslow throughout redevelopment of the ferry terminal.
Trails Outside MUTC/High School Road Districts
WMP 4-3 3• Encourage additional neighborhood trails that offer mid-block connections in residential
areas of Winslow and that provide connections to destinations such as schools, waterfront access points,
parks and surrounding residential neighborhoods.

Many public buildings are located along Madison Avenue,
which is beginning to emerge as a civic corridor .Afire station
anchors the north end. The ublic library, school district offices and h~Iigh sSchool flank the intersection
of High School Road and Madison Avenue.
~"~~ City Hall and the
Bainbridge Performing Arts Center BPA is are also
accessed from Madison Avenue, immediately north of Winslow WaX. In between City Hall
and BPA there is an oven pedestrian space that hosts the Farmers Market throu the owing season
The Bambridse Island Historical Society and Museum is adjacent to BPA on Ericksen Avenue The
Commons on Bjune Drive provides space for community meetings and senior citizen services and
activities. The primary post offices on the island is located between Winslow Way and
Biune Drive. East of the retail corridor of Winslow the police department occupies the corner of
Winslow Way and Hi lg_iwa~ 305. ,
The Washington State Ferry Terminal generates major activity in Winslow and provides a vital link to
Seattle and the east side of Puget Sound. The terminal is a regional facility that serves Bainbridge Island
and the rest of Kitsap County. It serves auto, pedestrian and bicycle modes of travel and often operates
beyond capacity during peak hour periods and on summer and holiday weekends.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FRAMEWORK
Beyond the facilities identified above, a 'T'~'°'''°~~-~°'-°~~~-~° ni°~ ~a +'~' a a ~i~' ~ +~_
pie€e~e~Ieeati9n fe~t139 ei~kall~4 specific need for other types of public buildings was not identified
in the plan. However, inherent in the concept of the Mixed-Use Town Center is the notion that a range of
public facilities could be available over time to add to the existing variety.
The installation of works of art along streets, in parks, and in public buildings would strengthen the image
of the community. The City has a "One Percent for Art" program that applies to public projects, but
techniques could be used to encourage privately provided public art.

Section 6. Chapter 6 of the Winslow Master Plan, "Transportation," is amended as follows:
CHAPTER 6
TRANSPORTATION
EXISTING CONDITIONS
Unlike the rest of the Island, where traffic is isolated to a few locations, Winslow's urban nature attracts
the majority of the traffic and congestion. The businesses, government buildings, schools and ferry
terminal attract not only the residents of the area, but persons from throughout the region.
The residents of Winslow tend to be less dependent on their automobiles than other Island residents due
to their proximity to the ferry terminal and shopping. Many residents hold jobs in downtown Seattle,
making driving to work unnecessary. Two retail areas, on Winslow Way and High School Road, provide
the opportunity for residents of Winslow to walk to shopping.

Traffic Circulation
Traffic conditions in the Winslow area can be described through understandine his smoke
two major elements of a transportation system: circulation and parking. The Island-Wide Transportation
Study (IWTS), February 2004, and the Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan describe the
existinu conditions of the road system for the Island and the circulation system for Winslow (Cha ter 4 of
thethe IWTS). ,
The circulation system describes the travel patterns of residents, employees and visitors within and
passing through the Winslow area. A variety of elements are considered to evaluate the circulation
system, including traffic volumes, roadway classification, roadway conditions, ~ levels of
service, travel times and accident data.
According to the Circulation and Access Recommendations report (Januarti 20061 developed for the
Winslow Tomorrow project, Winslow has only fair circulation with a poorly connected street network
numerous discontinuities concentrating traffic on a few primary routes and limited transit service except
during Weak hours, oriented to ferry service only
Traffic Volumes: Weekday
Traffic is normally measured using volumes, the number of vehicles over a specified length of time.
Volumes can be defined either by daily or peak (highest) hourly use. Although daily volumes are helpful
in identifying primary travel routes, peak hour volumes better identify whether a roadway or intersection
has sufficient capacity to handle traffic.. The roads with the highest weekday daily volumes are:
• the SR 305 corridor
• High School Road between Madison Avenue and SR 305
• Winslow Way between SR 305 and Ericksen Avenue
• Madison between Wyatt Way and High School Road
• Wyatt Way east of Finch Road.
The impact of ferry terminal traffic on these routes is apparent.
Traffic Volumes: Weekend
Ordinance 2006-20 Third Reading
November 8, 2006

Weekend traffic can vary considerably depending on the season. Typically, dDuring winter ~
weekends, daily traffic volumes within Winslow were are 10-15% lower than weekday traffic. During ~
peak summer weekday, traffic on SR 305 may queue beyond High School Road as waits for the ferry may
exceed two boats. Weekend peak hours tend to occur during the midday hours of 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. ~ke~e

Intersection Levels of Service
A level of service analysis was completed in 2002 as part of the Island-Wide Transpiration Study and the
resulting level of service for Winslow Sub Area intersections is indicated in Table 6-1, below.

The intersection and operating conditions are indicated by a
level of service (LOS) letter designation. LOS provides a measure of delay ranging from LOS A (free
flowing, minimal delay) to LOS F (extreme congestion, long delays). Level of service or LOS, standard
desig~tates the minimum operational performance of the roadway system that must be maintained. If
traffic volumes cause a roadway to fall below the minimum LOS standard. improvements or other
mitigation must be made to bring the facility back to the desi~xtated LOS standard. Level of service
' This date would most likely be characterized by a higher percentage of visitor traffic and general recreation traffic in the background
conditions but little or no school-related activities. A date during the school year would see a trade of visitor and general recreation for
higher school-related trips.

standards are normally prescribed for the p m peak hour (most congested hour) of the traffic s, sY tem
which ically occurs between 4:45 and 5.45 in the evening on Bainbridge Island
.Table 6-13
shows the existing LOS intersections within the Winslow study area. The City of Bainbridge Island has
set LOS DB as the minimum acceptable within the Winslow area for secondary arterials and collector
streets, and LOS C for streets designated as residential ~ All intersections operate at an acceptable LOS
under existing conditions; however, the intersection of Winslow Way/SR 305/Olympic Way Fb9S-~ is
rapidly approaching its maximum capacity. As traffic continues to grow, especially as a result of ferry
terminal expansion ~~ ° *~,:..a ~ -•~•~• ~~ °aa°a °* *~-° *°-~---~~°~, changes may be necessary at this intersection.
Changes will need to address ferry related traffic and transit as well as cross town vehicular and
pedestrian movements on Winslow Way.

In 2002 a license plate survey of the ferry terminal area was conducted as part of the Island-Wide
Transportation Study This study collected license plate data to classify the origins and destinations of the
traffic coming from the ferry and ferry terminal area during the afternoon peak period. This study
indicated that approximately 44% of the traffic originated from the Island, approximately 40% on ig n
from off-Island and 17% had home origins in King_County or other areas outside the region. In
addition, the survey indicated that 60% of the off-Island destinations were from Poulsbo and other North
Kitsap CountXlocations.
Figure 6.1 44shows the roads that experience the most impact from ferry traffic. Winslow Way east of
SR 305 is the most affected since it is the primary access point for ferry terminal parking and passenger
pick-up/drop-off. Other roads, such as Ferncliff Avenue, Winslow Way west of SR 305, Madison
Avenue, Grow, Ericksen and High School Road also carry large portions of the ferry-related traffic.
The Washington State Ferries System is presently developins a master elan for the ferry terminal
including addressing the circulation issues associated with expansion of the ferry terminal. Analysis is
underway of traffic data collected in June 2005 and February 2006 for four intersections near the
terminal• 1) Winslow Way and Madison Avenue• 2) Winslow Wav and Olympic Drive; 3) Winslow Wav
and Ferncliff Avenue• and 4L~n~ic Drive and Harborview Drive. Results of this analysis will inform
the Washington State Ferr~ystem and Ci in planning for circulation for the growing ferry-related
traffic .

SR 305
State Route 305 (SR 305) provides a primary link from Winslow and the ferry terminal to the rest of the
City and the Kitsap Peninsula. The route intersects the local street system in three locations in the study
area: at Winslow Way, at High School Road and at Madison Avenue. The intersections at Winslow Way
and High School Road are signalized and have left turn pockets. SR 305 begins (or terminates) at the
ferry terminal with 26% of the trips being ferry-related traffic in the section from Winslow Way to High
School Road.
The level of service standard for SR 305 is set by the Washington State Department of Transportations
(WSDOT). The traffic analysis in the Island-Wide Transportation Study shows that current conditions of
SR 305 are below the WSDOT minimum LOS of "D-miti ag te" planning standard.

Roadway Classification
The City of Bainbridge Island classifies roads to describe their use and to set standards for future
improvements. Roads can be principal or secondary arterials, collectors or ~sea~ residential streets.
Arterials, such as Wyatt Items Wav, Madison Avenue, High School Road and Winslow Way are the
primary roads for moving people in or through the Winslow s~ area. Collector streets, such as Bjune
Drive and Ericksen Avenue a~ ,feed the arterials. Residential streets serve
neighborhoods.
Roadway Conditions
The City of Bainbridge Island maintains an inventory of roadway conditions for all roads on the Island.
A ranking system from 0 (poor) to 100 (excellent) is used by the Public Works Department to prioritize
roadway repair funding. Most of the main roadways have been characterized as in good to excellent
condition.
Kitsap Transit Circulation
Kitsap Transit provides mainly peak hour service to commuters destined for the ferry terminal. A total of
twelve eigl3t routes currently serves the area. Most service is provided to meet peak demand related to

Pedestrian and Bicycle Circulation
Pedestrian and bicycle circulation is an important element in the transportation system. The Citv adopted
a Non-Motorized Transportation Plan (NMTP) in 2003 which identifies existing and planned bicycle and
pedestrian facilities for the Island, including the Winslow area. According to the Circulation and Access
Recommendations report (Januai ~ 2006_ developed for the Winslow Tomorrow project, the sidewalk
system is disconnected and inadequate in width in many locations of Winslow. Existing bicycle facilities
in Winslow are limited, but improving as the City provides connections as specified in the NMTP.
Madison Avenue between Winslow Way and High School Road has bicycle lanes on both sides. High
School Road has bicycle lanes between Hildebrand and Sportsman Club Rd.
Ferncliff Avenue has bike lanes on both sides between Winslow Way
and High School Road
The existing sidewalk network for Winslow is shown in Map X of the Non-Motorized Transportation
Plan.
> ,
Parking
Parking is a key issue in the downtown area of Winslow and near the ferry terminal. Too much parking
(non-commuter) encourages automobile trips and increases traffic, while not enough parking limits the
viability of downtown commercial establishments. The impact of the ferry terminal on downtown
parking is also a key issue.

Ferry Terminal Parking
Figure 6_2 shows the parking available at or near the ferry terminal, and the time restrictions. A
Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) study in 1989 found there were 1,265 spaces
available to ferry terminal patrons. A study done for the 1998 Winslow Master Plan ~} found that
two areas identified in WSDOT's study no longer existed, having been replaced by the Kitsap Transit bus
staging area. The current total, including ferrycommuter marking in the Core, Gateway, and Ferry
Terminal Districts is 1,147. ' , ' ,

parkingLnaces (i.e. permitted use of on-street spaces) and 11 spaces at the Police Station in the Core
District as well as the 173 spaces in the Gateway District shown in Table 6-3 are expected to eventually
be converted into regular on-street~arking, employee parking, or residential development, thereby
reducing the total ferry commuter parking supply to the 1,010 spaces in the Ferry Terminal District,
which could be further reduced due to future redevelopment in the Ferry Terminal District.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FRAMEWORK
Comprehensive Plan policies identify the need ~ to increase safety, encourage efficient multimodal
transportation and improve transit, and to promote opportunities to be physically active b~providing
transportation improvements and strategies that X11 maximize pedestrian circulation in the Core;-i~s~ease
' .Along range study addressing
the future transportation system of the Island was conducted as part of the 2004 update to the
Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan. This study, known as the Island-Wide
Transportation Study (FebruarY2004), addresses and provides a detailed analysis of a variety of
transportation issues affecting the community, and was used as the basis for adopting~olicy revisions and
establishing level of service for transportation systems as provided in the Transportation Element.
~~ The Plan promotes design guidelines to encourage on-street parking, more crosswalks, street
landscaping and trees, and slow moving vehicular traffic. Streets are considered es-part of the public
epe~rspace ~ and should reflect the more urban nature of the roadwa~ystem in Winslow bX
providin ag_ppropriate street amenities, and traffic calming techniques that would enhance pedestrian
safety.
The Plan also acknowledges the importance of safe bicycle travel in the overall transportation network,
and calls for safe bicycle travel from neighborhoods to Winslow, within Winslow and along roads in
Winslow (as identified in the Non-Motorized Transportation Plan )and along designated
school routes. Improvements would include signage, improving or adding bicycle lanes and public transit
accommodation for bicycles.
The Comprehensive Plan encourages the identification of small, public, non-commuter parking lots,
reduction of parking requirements within the MUTC and increased on-street and shared parking.
Landscape and signage standards for parking areas should be developed. Commuter parking would be
controlled ~. New parking facilities in the ferry district would be placed underbuilding. Carpools,
van pools and ridesharing would be promoted as alternatives to SOV use, and park-and-ride use would
increase through the development of more lots located near commuters' points of origin.
Improving transit efficiency and providing effective links between transit and other types of
transportation would encourage the use of transit over automobiles. An expansion of Island transit
services and transit-friendly building design would make transit use to and within Winslow easier.
SR 305 serves as a major thoroughfare at the local and the regional level. However, traffic on the
highway can physicall~~' °'~° ~°-~•°~ *° divide the Island community. The Comprehensive Plan
recognizes the importance of the route, but also aims to minimize its divisiveness. Improvements to SR
305 should be incremental and be intended to reduce congestion and improve
safety, minimize impacts to the road system, address multi-modal needs including improved connections
for bicycles and pedestrians, and preserve the ~ scenic character of the highway.
.Additional transit stops would be provided
on both sides of SR 305. Right-turn lanes, controlled local access, channelization and electronic
signalization would be used to reduce congestion from both through and local traffic. Tw° D~
State Route 305 ~ke~eac~ is designed to highway standards and has full shoulders throughout most of the
study area. Posted speeds range from 30 mph. near the ferry terminal to 55 mph. north of High School
Road. SR 305, both within the City and on the Peninsula, was studied in the 1990's #as

right-turn channelization at Winslow Way,
and 4) northbound queue

MASTER PLAN TRANSPORTATION POLICIES
Overview
The streets of Winslow shall be designed and constructed to reinforce an efficient, safe and interesting
pedestrian environment, provide for transit and bicycle use and the efficient use of streets for
automobiles. Traffic calming devices will be used e~ter3si annropriatelythroughout the Town Center
and High School Road Districts to create a more pedestrian-oriented environment supportive of walking,
biking and transit, and to de-emphasize free flowing automobile circulation as it exists at present. The
more often people use means of transportation other than the auto, the longer existing roads will have an
acceptable level of service (LOS). The Plan encourages people who live in the residential areas of
Winslow to walk or bicycle into town to reduce pollution and non-renewable resources use and promote
healthy lifestyles. Additional circulation and parking recommendations are referenced in the Winslow
Tomorrow Circulation and Access Recommendations Report (January 2006, Charlier Associates, Inc.),
which provides additional information for implementation of the goals and policies of the Master Plan.
Overall Transuortation Goal WMP 6 -1:
Provide an efficient transportation and circulations system that supports Winslow as the commercial,
cultural and community center and provides transportation choices that facilitate mobility and
accessibility, or "access for all" by
^ Creating a pedestrian environment
o Providingpedestrian facilities and amenities;
o Creating; a streetscape that provides pedestrian amenities;
o Providingpedestrian connections to Eaale Harbor, the Ravine and Ferry Terminal and
between neighborhoods;
o Preserving, expanding and promoting the existing network of sociaUinformal trails;
o Recognizing and developing Winslow Way as the centerpiece of downtown Winslow; and
o Managingpublic parking and encouraging_a "park-once district" that provides accessible
parking for downtown users.
^ Creatina a carefully designed grid of multi-modal street connections for improved access and
circulation by
o Improving street connectivity;
o Mana ing traffic & traffic calming;
o Promoting alternative modes of transportation;
Improving transit services and facilities.
Goal WMP 6 -2: Create A Pedestrian Environment for Winslow.
Pedestrian Circulation and Facilities
Policy WMP 6- 2.1: Provide an extensive interconnected Qedestrian system of sidewalks and trails in
Winslow in accordance with the Winslow Master Plan and the Non-Motorized Transportation Plan.
Discussion: Construction of this system could be in phases; initial focus would be on completion of
facilities in the Core area, with subsequent phases extendin tg_o adjacent districts. (See the Open

Policv WMP 6-8.6: Market Lane
Consider creating a narrow lane located north of and parallel to Winslow Wav, which connects Madrone
Lane with a new north/south lane that is linked to Winslow Wav. The new lane would include public
parking beneath it on land presently occupied b the city-owned gravel parking lot located south of the
Market Green. (WT)
Discussion: The south side of the new lane would be lined by new businesses or residences built by
private developers on land where the alley is presently located. Public land on the north side of the
lane could be developed near term as a terraced garden to screen underground parking. Future
development might include expanded cultural facilities a year-round farmer's market or other uses
the community determines are appropriate.
Policv WMP 6-8.: Harbor Wav
Consider creating a new north south lane located east of Winslow Drug to provide increased opportunities

Parking
Introduction: The most important access element for Winslow is convenient narking Many pedestrians
using Winslow's sidewalks originate from parked cars-without the availability of parking the pedestrian
environment and retail and commercial viability will suffer In support of the Winslow Tomorrow design
principles the City should find a balance between providing too much parking and not providing enough
Several parking issues threaten to reduce the city's livabili and regional viability including_
^ Lack of convenient narking maw revent people from using downtown to shoe dine work and
recreate.
^ Employees and ferry commuters are parkin ag 11 day in highly valued short-term parking
downtown -spaces that could be used by shoppers
^ Parking enforcement is understaffed to adequately enforce parkin regulations
^ Current on-site parking requirements are preventing reinvestment in downtown Winslow The
current continuous street fronta eg_along Winslow Way was developed before parking
reauirements were implemented. Today's requirements make this desirable form of development
almost impossible and act as a disincentive to reinvestment. (WTj
Goal 6-11: Develop Winslow as a "nark-once district" that provides plentiful and accessible narking for
downtown and allows residents and visitors to park vehicles and travel as a pedestrian within the
downtown core. (WTj
Policy WMP 6-11.1: Invest in parking in partnership with businesses property owners and the
community_(WT~

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FRAMEWORK
The Comprehensive Plan contains a separate Water Resources Element to highlight the importance of
water resources to the Island. Land use policies should be consistent with prudent use and protection of
those resources. New water sources/systems or expansion of existing systems should occur only if the
existing quantity or quality levels of existing water supplies is maintained at a sustainable level. Water
conservation, water re-use and reclamation should be pursued. Water system inftastructure which may
provide water supplies exceeding local needs should not be used to justify development counter to the
adopted Comprehensive Plan.
Ordinance 2006-20 Third Reading
November 8, 2006

Sewage should be collected, treated and disposed of in a manner that prevents public health hazards and
pollution of groundwater, surface water and promotes recharge of the waters of Puget Sound. Siting of
additional sewer facilities or the expansion of existing facilities should consider solutions to existing on-
site failure problems, as well as planned areas for increased density. Re-use of treated wastewater for
irrigation, fire flow and other non-potable uses should be encouraged.
Stormwater runoff should be managed to protect property from flooding and erosion; protect streams and
shorelines to avoid the degradation of environmental quality, ecolo~?ical functions, and natural system
aesthetics; protect the quality of groundwater, surface water and waters of Puget Sound. Development
should be designed and constructed to minimize disruption and/or degradation of natural drainage
systems, using both on-site and off-site improvements. Infiltration is preferred over surface discharge.
MASTER PLAN UTILITIES POLICIES
Overview
A clear vision for Winslow presents opportunities to encourage developers to build more sustainable
places One of the most sustainable actions the communes can take to preserve critical areas, forests,
working landscapes and the rural character of the island as well as control infrastructure costs is to use
land more efficiently and locate the growth in downtown Winslow where services and infrastructure are
available. If Bainbridge succeeds in implementing the goal of our Comprehensive Plan to accommodate
50% of the population growth in downtown we will require less investment in utilities consume less land
and have less impact on water resources and ecosystems. In exchange for allowing more development in
downtown we can require or provide incentives that reduce overall per capita demand on utilities
infrastructure costs and improves water quali ~ through preservation of open space, trees, creation and
enhancement of public parks or use of green buildin teg chniques and green development standards. (WT)
