Tukwil�j l,nning Department M Caughey Associate Planner MC /blk CITY OF TUKWILA PLANNING DIVISION PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT AGENDA ITEM Tukwila Square Habitat -- Reconsideration of Stipu- lations At the Board's November, 1981 meeting, the Tukwila Square Habitat 28 -unit condominium project was reviewed and approved. Certain stipulations were imposed on that approval decision, among them a requirement that the carport areas be enclosed. In the attached letter from the project developer, the Board is asked to reconsider this requirement and to eliminate it from the record. In paragraph two of the letter, the developer cites two arguments in favor of leaving the carports open both of which concern public safety. These arguments have been reviewed by the Fire Marshal and found by him to be irrelevent, as the carport areas will be fitted with automatic sprinklers whether they are enclosed or open. In their discussions of this matter with staff, the applicants have indicated their concern with the temptation which an enclosed carport presents to the individual resident to use such space as a "junk storage" area or as an auto repair bay. Both of these conditions are undesirable in their view. We suggest, however, that both situations can be controlled through the covenants and restrictions of the comdominium owner's association, rather than through the elimination of garage doors. For example, it is not uncommon for condominium restriction documents to forbid mechanical work in parking and carport areas, or to require that carport areas be kept clear of all materials which inhibit their use as parking areas. Additional incentive to actually use enclosed carports as parking areas, rather than leaving vehicles outside in the driveway, can be provided by equipping each unit with an automatic garage door opener -- a relatively inexpensive and very positive selling point which will aid the developer in marketing the project. Staff believes that retention of the carport enclosure stipulation will enhance the visual quality of the project as observed from the Terrace Apartments and 56th Avenue South. Our intent in this report is not, however, to argue for or against the Board's prior decision, but to suggest that other factors and alternatives should be investigated before the garage door requirement is eliminated. Cedarwood Habitat AGENDA ITEM INTRODUCTION Cedarwood Habitat is a proposed multiple -use development on the west side of Interurban Avenue across from Foster Golf Course which includes seven 4 plex condominiums and three 3 -story office buildings. The appli- cants are requesting B.A.R. approval of site and architecture for both the residential and office portions of the project, and landscape approval for the residence area only. Board of Architectural Review for this project is required as a condition of environmental assessment. DISCUSSION A) Site Plan (Exhibit 'A') CITY OF TUKWILA PLANNING DIVISION PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT The subject property was rezoned to the C -2 classification by Ordinance No. 432 adopted in July, 1965. We have checked the setback relationships of each building and find them to meet or exceed minimum standards specified in the C -2 zone. We have also compared the posi- tioning of each building relative to the site's topography and find substantial compliance with the City Council's grant of waiver approval on 20 April 1981. Building heights in both the residential and office portions of the site to comply with TMC 18.30.030. Parking for the office site is calculated at 4 spaces /1000 sq. ft. of net rentable area. Each building isestimated to contain 16000 of rentable floor area, equaling 192 required spaces. 82 open -air spaces are depicted on Exhibit "A ", although the "zero- degree" stalls parallel to Interurban Avenue are too short (23' length required). Thus, the actual number of open -air spaces may have to be reduced to comply with dimensional requirements. Thirty -eight spaces will be provided beneath each building with cars to be stacked three -deep in each bay. Page -2- Cedarwood Habitat Driveway openings for the residential area must be relocated at least twenty feet from property corners to satisfy TMC 18.56.040. The Board must also interpret TMC 18.56.055 (2) to determine if the applicant has complied with the required 15' wide special land- scaped setback on 56th Ave. So. Note that a portion of the landscaped area falls within the public right -of -way. Generally, it has been the Board's policy to measure landscape setback minimum requirements inward from the property line. Should this policy remain for the Cedarwood proposal, additional landscape depth on theh56th Ave. frontage will be needed, but should not be accomodated by allowing reduction of the rear setback dimensions shown on Exhibit A. Final site drawings for building permit approval should depict location of all trash enclosures on the project grounds. B) Architecture Both the office and residential portions of the project will coordinate in exterior appearance by common useage of diagonal 1" x 4" cedar siding. A color.-keyed metal roofing material will be used on the office buildings, and cedar shingles will be used on the 4 -plex units. The applicants will be prepared to present a formal materials board for your review at the meeting, and staff has no concern about the projects proposed architectural concept. C) Landscaping (Exhibit E) Landscaping approval is requested only for the residential area at this time. Note that Exhibit "E" indicates the designer's intent to retain significant native trees at the southwest corner of the site. This intent may be compromised to some degree, .however, by the need to relocate the driveway opening as discussed earlier. Generally, the plant materials proposed reflect a great deal of variety in seasonal color, leaf textures and growth habit; we have no concerns with the landscape plan. Sidewalks RECOMMENDATION Staff recommend that the development plans for Cedarwood Habitat be approved according to exhibits A,B,C, & E of the application with the fol- lowing conditions: It should be noted that the site and landscape plans do not depict a public sidewalk on either the Interurban Avenue or 56th Avenue So. street frontages. Unless a City Council waiver relieves the applicant from this requirement, sidewalks will be needed on both frontages. The Board should evaluate the proposed planter -area depths at streetside for adequacy in light of their probable reduction in width for sidewalk construction purposes.

It is our position the enclosure of the carports adversly affect the appearance of the units, creates a potential fire hazard by concealing the improper storage of flammable products and, curtails access to firefighters in the event of an auto fire in any of the units. We believe the foregoing concerns are of serious significance and request reversal of the Boards position regarding the subject carports. We understand the next meeting of the BAR is scheduled for 28 January. If the agenda Derails, may be heard at that time. Th:.ou for y6ur attention to this request. FMC : sd R. R.
