south property line around Building E. The project will occupy one lot; as such, there are <br />two front yards β€”one on TIB and one on S. 144th Street. <br />Ten (10) feet of side yard landscaping is required along the east and south property <br />lines because the project is within 50 feet of residentially (LDR, MDR, and HDR) <br />zoned property. The Urban Renewal Overlay District Basic Development <br />Standards, further state: <br />"If a project requires a Type 4 approval process, certain setbacks and <br />landscaping may be waived by the BAR when a proponent can <br />demonstrate that the number of driveways is reduced, efficiency of the site <br />is increased, joint use of parking facilities is allowed, or pedestrian space <br />is provided. Landscaping and setback standards may not be waived on <br />commercial property sides adjacent to residential districts." <br />The proposal includes a minimum of 10 feet of pedestrian amenity along the south and east <br />sides with a variety of improvements - sidewalk, semi- private residential entry /stoops, <br />landscaping and parking for the adjacent owner /use. <br />e. Shared Facilities <br />All three phases of the project, that is, the five buildings of Tukwila Village (plus the <br />library) will be sharing the site improvements: parking, access, and the pedestrian system. <br />The Tukwila Fire Marshall indicates that Building E (Phase 2) requires a fire access <br />easement from the KCHA, on which the proponent is working. <br />f Site Design for Safety <br />Vehicular access to the site is consolidated and shared between the two buildings. <br />No on -site directional signage has been proposed. <br />There will be several opportunities for crossings S. 144th Street within the boundaries of the <br />Tukwila Village site. One will occur adjacent to the driveway between Buildings D and E. <br />This crossing connects to the west side of the Community Plaza and is enhanced with a <br />center median with low plantings adjacent to the crossing. The center median provides a <br />small refuge midway across the street. The remainder of the median is to be paved in order <br />to allow police and fire vehicles to drive over the median. The other crossing is at the <br />unsignalized four way intersection which is located at the intersection of the Riverton <br />Terrace driveway and the Tukwila Village driveway off of S. 144th Street.
