Page 2 <br />Public Hearing Minutes <br />March 8, 2018 <br />Variance and Design Review are usually conducted separately. However, due to the project's need <br />for a zoning variance for the district in which the site is located the BAR have requested review of <br />both together. <br />Staff also addressed questions for the Commission. <br />RECOMMENDATIONS: <br />• Approval of the three Zoning Variance Permit requests, with the following condition; <br />• Approval of the Design Review application with the following condition: <br />Condition: If the agreement between Seattle City Light and Peterson's 76 expires and is not <br />renewed, landscaping on SCL property and the drive-through coffee kiosk will <br />need to be relocated to meet the landscape and setback requirements of the <br />Tukwila Municipal Code at the time of expiration. (This condition applies to <br />both the Zoning Variance and Design Review approvals) <br />Duncan Wallace, PM Design Group, for the applicant, responded to questions from the <br />Commission. He noted that the applicant felt they could improve the phase facing 48th street. <br />Therefore, they are proposing adding some glazing on the second floor above the tree. He said he <br />spoke to the applicant regarding the landscape issues that came up, and they are concerned with <br />security in the truck area. Due to problems in the past they feel it would be better to keep the area <br />open to help with loitering. However, they are open to the idea of adding a significant conifer tree <br />to the landscaping for the proposed development. <br />Suggestions the Commission would like the applicant to consider: <br />• Commissioner Mann is interested in a tall tree or screening by the truck fueling on 48th. <br />• Commissioner Watters said she encourages the applicant to plant one large native conifer <br />tree. <br />• Commissioner Watters said she would like to see a wider vegetation buffer by the coffee <br />kiosk and less grass. <br />• Commissioner Hansen suggested some landscaping on the triangular parcel with the one <br />tree on Tukwila International Blvd. <br />• Commissioner Watters suggested minor pruning for attractiveness. <br />There was no public testimony. <br />The public hearing was closed. <br />3 <br />
