conjunction with overall design review approval." To assist in meeting the intent of providing <br />interactive facades that create visual interest, the project includes window walls on the south facade, <br />a continuous band of window along the west facade, a window wall that faces the outdoor terrace <br />and an art piece for the corner. This is also discussed in Section 1.B above. <br />Design Criterion D2: NA — There are no large blank walls proposed. <br />Design Criterion D3: Building entry is discussed in Section 1.B above. <br />e. Mechanical Equipment <br />There is no roof - mounted mechanical equipment on the building. An electrical vault is to be <br />relocated closer to the building just to the north of the "children's window." <br />3. Landscape Design <br />a. Landscape Design <br />Four landscape areas are arrayed around the building. A planting bed separates the library's outdoor <br />terrace from the Tukwila Village outdoor plaza. The south and west beds provide transition between <br />the building and the public sidewalk, provide views for library patrons inside the library sitting along <br />the window along these edges, and highlight features of the building — the children's window seat <br />and the site's corner location. Landscape features frame pedestrian walkways to the entry as well as <br />highlight the entry itself. <br />b. Planting Design <br />Four different ground cover plantings are proposed, which reinforce the function for the different <br />areas of the site. The second story plant layer provides color, depth and seasonal change and <br />variety. The plant variety provides flowers and berries throughout the year. The upper layer <br />includes multi- trunked small trees — vine maple and hazelnut that can act as screens, <br />The Empire Ash for the parking stall edge duplicates the plant chosen for the internal driveway within <br />Tukwila Village. <br />The Northern Red Oak at the entry reflects the tree planted along TIB behind the sidewalk and will is <br />sized such that it will be a significant site feature. <br />4. Signs <br />a. Sign Concept <br />Two signs are proposed for the project — a monument sign along TIB and a wall sign along the east <br />facade facing the Plaza. See pages 22 -23 for sign elevations and page 21 for location, Attachment <br />A. These signs are uniform to the KCLS, which provides continuity for the public. The monument <br />sign is internally illuminated and no more than 4.5 feet in height, 7.25 feet in width and approximately <br />30 square feet per side. The wall sign is individual painted letters affixed to the building wall and then <br />illuminated from below. <br />L13 -017 — Tukwila Library Page 1 13 <br />
