KCHA located at the southeast corner of the site, accessed from the adjacent KCHA <br />property. <br />The guidelines specify 12 foot wide setback between street curb and building front. This 12 <br />foot area is for sidewalk and landscaping. 8 feet is the minimum setback on all other streets. <br />The TIB frontage along Building D's west side is already improved with a 10 foot wide <br />sidewalk. The proponent is providing an eight foot wide landscape bed between the <br />sidewalk and the building windows; thereby ensuring a safe corner sight triangle. On the S. <br />144th Street side, the section between street curb and building is a five foot planted edge <br />paralleling the street curb and then an 8.6 foot wide sidewalk. The Building's edge varies <br />with a narrow planted edge of 8 feet to 18 inches or building column. There is a pinch <br />point at the corner of four feet between the handicap ramp landing and the steel edging <br />enclosing the planting bed on the south side of the Building D. A sidewalk continues <br />around the south and east sides of the building. <br />Building E's frontage will have on- street parallel stalls and a five foot wide planted edge, 10 <br />foot wide sidewalk that will have plant pots are regular intervals along the building's front. <br />The canopies extend approximately 4 feet over the sidewalk along S. 144th Street, thereby <br />providing some rain and sun protection for pedestrians. The break in the canopies at the <br />masonry columns somewhat minimizes the effect. In addition, landscaping in pots and <br />behind the sidewalk, entry doors and transparent windows behind the sidewalk, all create an <br />interesting experience for the pedestrian. <br />c. Street Corners <br />Building D occupies the southeast corner of S. 144th Street and TIB. The driveway <br />between Riverton Terraces complex and Building E will become a defacto street corner <br />because of the alignment of the driveways into the north half of Tukwila Village and into the <br />south through the Riverton Terraces complex. Entries to both Building D and E are located <br />at these corners. A perspective view looking east on S 144 Street is on Sheet P2.13, <br />Attachment A, shows the entire corner along S. 144th Street. Sheet P3.13, Attachment A, <br />shows the corners created by the site layout and building architecture. <br />d. Continuity of Site with Adjacent Sites. <br />Phase 2 is situated in the north half of a block bounded by S. 144th Street, 42 Avenue S., S. <br />146th Street and TIB. The two proposed buildings sit closer to the back of sidewalk than <br />either of their adjacent neighbors and will provide more amenities to pedestrians on the <br />sidewalk. There are four adjacent properties along the subject site's south and east sides. <br />L13 -0044 — Tukwila Village Phase 2 Page 114 <br />18 <br />
