ATTACHMENT B ARCHITECTS Design Review Board — Project Narrative Project: Family Fun Center — Route 66 Addition & Alterations 7300 Fun Center Way Tukwila, Washington 98188 Date: Sunday, April 19, 2015 General: TEL 425- 885 -4300 FAX 425 - 885-4303 8383 158th Ave. NE, 1i.784J Redmond WA 98052 magelkanna.mch1te ts,.c om The proposed 12,386 s.f. addition to the Family Fun Center will be a visually cohesive addition to the existing building. The concept of the elevation is for the addition to provide the appearance of a new "wing" to the building. Relationship of Structure to Site: a) The location of the new addition was previously planned in the original schematic design of the building. The new additional will create clear demarcation /buffer between the parking areas and the outdoor amusement areas behind (Northwest) the building. The addition will be clearly seen as a secondary portion of the building and thus direct pedestrian movement along the existing sidewalk to the main entrance of the existing building. b) All existing parking areas as previously permitted will remain. c) The scale of the building addition is appropriate to the site and will step down lower than the existing building since it is closer to the riverfront buffer. Relationship of Structure and Site to Adjoining Area: a) The new building addition will use similar materials, color, and finishes where it abuts the existing building at the appropriate elevations to create a cohesive connection between the existing building and new addition. b) All existing landscaping will remain, keeping the appropriate mature landscape buffer between the outdoor amusement areas and the adjacent properties. c) The new addition will provide a consistent unified look and theme to the existing building and will appear as one structure. d) The existing vehicular and pedestrian circulation routes will remain unaltered. e) The existing vehicular circulation pattern will provide clear access from the street to both the addition and the existing building. Landscape and Site Treatment: a) No new landscaping or changes to landscaping are proposed. All existing plants and landscaped areas will be maintained to preserve the existing appearance of the site. Building Design: a) The new building will have an appropriate scale as a secondary portion of the existing structure. The new building will be a light framed pre - fabricated metal building structure similar to the existing building. The exterior materials of stucco and corrugated metal panel will be continued on the new addition.
