Public Comment: <br />Recommendation: <br />Written comments were received at the joint informational meeting <br />for Tukwila Village and the Tukwila Library and are contained in <br />Attachment B. <br />Staff recommends that the Board of Architectural Review approve <br />the proposed project based on the findings and conclusions of the <br />Staff Report and the following conditions: <br />1. Prior to the issuance of the building permit, the KCLS must receive approval by the DCD <br />Director for a process for selecting and creating the public art at the northeast corner of S. <br />144th Street and Tukwila International Boulevard. That process shall include the following: <br />• The scope for the artist, which shall include the following objectives for the art work: <br />• Be publically engaging and interactive, <br />• have verticality, <br />• complement the overall style of the Library's design, <br />• sized to be in scale with the Library building and have sufficient mass to be <br />visible; and <br />• act as a focal point for the corner. <br />• The involvement of the Library's design team, the Tukwila Arts Commission and <br />Library Advisory Board in the selection of the artist and the artist's conceptual <br />development of the piece; and <br />• The involvement of the artist to some degree in the construction and installation of <br />the piece. <br />2. Along the west and south window walls: <br />• Landscape design shall be revised to maintain transparency and visibility between <br />the inside and adjacent sidewalks; and <br />• replace the small trees with canopy trees along Tukwila International Boulevard. <br />3. Substitute drought tolerant species for plants that require high amounts of water and <br />coordinate with Tukwila Village partners on a tree for internal driveway that is less columnar <br />than the Empire Ash. <br />4. Place another sign along the S. 144th Street wall in addition to a sign along the east/plaza <br />side and specify a paint color that will contrast with the brick background; and turn the <br />monument sign perpendicular to the street. <br />Staff: Moira Carr Bradshaw <br />Attachments: <br />A.
