24 <br />Grading Permit <br />On April 29, 2011, the City issued a grading permit (PW10 -064) to Segale Properties, LLC for mass <br />grading of the Tukwila South project areal. The purpose of the grading permit was to prepare the area <br />for future development in accordance with the approved Master Plan and Development Agreement. The <br />applicant is still in the process of completing the work outlined in the approved grading plan. <br />State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) <br />In 2005, the City of Tukwila issued a Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) under SEPA for future <br />building out of Tukwila South. The Tukwila South FEIS analyzed the potential impacts associated with <br />the build out (including re- development of the existing Segale Business Park), assuming full build -out of <br />10.3 million square feet of various uses. <br />As part of this preliminary subdivision application the applicant submitted a SEPA checklist in order to <br />extend a utility through a sensitive area. City staff determined that a new SEPA checklist was not needed <br />and instead issued an addendum on December 14, 2012 for the proposed work. <br />Shoreline Substantial Development Permit <br />In conjunction with the above grading permit, the City of Tukwila issued a shoreline substantial <br />development permit (L10 -025) for grading within 200 feet of the Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM) <br />and to modify an existing flood levee. Like the grading permit, the shoreline substantial development <br />permit was to prepare for the future development of the Tukwila South area in accordance with the <br />approved Master Plan and Development Agreement. <br />Preliminary Subdivision <br />In 2013, the City's Hearing Examiner approved a preliminary 47 -plat for Tukwila South. The plat will allow <br />lots to be leased on an individual basis. Under State Law, Segale Properties has seven years to seek final <br />plat approval from the City. <br />11. Issues Summary <br />Many of the challenges and issues regarding the future development of Tukwila South have been <br />addressed in the last ten years. The following outlines some of the issues that have been resolved or are <br />likely to be resolved in the future. <br />A. Road Access <br />In 2010, a realigned Southcenter Parkway opened that links the Southcenter area to S. 200th Street <br />through Tukwila South. The new Parkway provides a four lane road, with sidewalks, capable of serving <br />the future build out of Tukwila South. Additionally, in 2013 Segale Properties, LLC realigned S. 178th <br />Street and traffic was moved to S. 184th Place. This new road provides a safer, more gradual access <br />than the old road alignment, which often times had to be closed due to inclement weather. <br />2 The grading work was originally under PW10 -063, but all work under this permit was transferred to PW10 -064. <br />6 <br />
