BAR Public Hearing Minutes <br />May 22, 2014 <br />testimony will not go into the record for the public hearing, which is the legal limitation. Therefore, the <br />additional comments from the applicant are not included in the minutes. <br />Commissioner Maestas asked staff for some clarification on whether the language will allow staff to <br />make further decisions between themselves and the applicant regarding the vegetation on the garage's <br />vertical surfaces. Staff said both parties will try to figure out a solution, and they agreed to consider <br />maximizing opportunities. <br />Commissioner Alford said that there are more opportunities to add vegetation on the parking structure <br />that would not only be on the metal screen. She said that thorough consideration should be given to all <br />possible opportunities to add vegetation. <br />Commissioner Nguyen commented that the language should not be so loose, but it should give clear <br />direction and empower staff to make their decision. He also, requested to go on the record stating, "The <br />fact the developer chose to bring the project to the City of Tukwila is great and that we want more <br />developments like this in the City." <br />Commissioner Hansen said he can support the language for the added condition number nine based on <br />Commissioner Maestas's clarification with staff. Commissioner McLeod was also supportive of <br />condition number nine. <br />Commissioner Hansen asked the Commission if they were ok with condition number eight, everyone <br />answered yes. <br />Commissioner McLeod made a motion to approve Case Number L14 -0015 and E14 -003 with staff's <br />findings, recommendations, and eight conditions, including the additional condition number nine added <br />by the Commission.
