The landscaping on the site was approved in 2010 as part of the parking lot redevelopment. The only new <br />landscaping on the site is trellises used to screen blank wall surfaces. It is not feasible to add foundation <br />landscaping due to the existing basement and the location of the sidewalks. The basement of the building is day - <br />lit at the building corners with the sidewalks cantilevered over the basement windows. <br />The trellises are shown on the elevations but are not shown on the site plan or landscape plan. The architect has <br />proposed adding planters with Clematis fasciculiflora, variegated evergreen clematis to grow on a trellis. The <br />design details of the planters and trellis were not included. <br />c. Walkways, parking spaces, terraces, and other paved areas shall promote safety and provide an inviting and <br />stable appearance. Direct pedestrian linkages to the public street, to on -site recreation areas, and to adjacent <br />public recreation areas shall be provided. <br />There are no changes to the site design. Pedestrian connections including a sidewalk along the main entrance <br />from Andover Park West and pedestrian connections from the building across the main entrance drive were <br />created during the parking lot redevelopment. A sidewalk has been added to the south side of the building which <br />completes a pedestrian connection from the south to the north and from the main Mall building to the new <br />restaurant. <br />d. Appropriate landscape transition to adjoining properties shall be provided. <br />The site design is pre- existing. The redevelopment of the parking lot area in 2010 resulted in a parking lot design <br />that preserved the existing mature trees on the site. <br />4. MISCELLANEOUS STRUCTURES. <br />a. Miscellaneous structures shall be designed as an integral part of the architectural concept and landscape. <br />Materials shall be compatible with buildings, scale shall be appropriate, colors shall be in harmony with <br />buildings and surroundings, and structure proportions shall be to scale. <br />Miscellaneous structures consist of an attached trash collection area and a bike rack for five bikes. <br />Wall signs are allowed on wall faces that have an exterior public entrance. The only exterior public entrance is to <br />the north and one wall sign will be allowed on the north face. Incentive signage is allowed on walls without an <br />exterior public entrance provided certain architectural features are included on the walls. Incentive signage is <br />allowed on the west elevation because at least 50% of the wall area between two and seven feet is transparent. <br />The south elevation has been redesigned to include false windows and planted trellises. The east side of the <br />building also has trellises and the canopy has been extended over a portion of the sidewalk to the accessible stalls. <br />These additional features allow the building to qualify for incentive signage on these faces. The size of the wall <br />signs was not reviewed under design review. The allowed sign size is a proportional to the wall size and the <br />details of the sign will be reviewed under a separate sign permit application. <br />nuari <br />u <br />III <br />O <br />���I�If <br />IIVII <br />�uuprN��7Y�11�fY{ P��IYi �JhSSw�rYJIhWU�l�ri�ri���u��uuuoundnm�o � �l�% <br />rr <br />SM Page 6 of 9 <br />Z:ADCD n C1erk's\PC Laserfiche Packet L13 -012 Buffalo WW DR SR.docx <br />This photo depicts <br />false window used on <br />a different restaurant. <br />The false windows <br />will be a different <br />shape and orientation <br />in Tukwila See <br />Attachment C. <br />07/17/2013 <br />
