Phone :. 206- 431 -3670 _ •: Fax: 206- 431 -3665 ;; City of Tukwila Department of Community Development October 24, 1994 Mr. Bob Fadden • •• Lance Mueller & Associates 130 Lakeside, Suite 250 Seattle, Washington 98122 Dear Bob: • John W. Rants, Mayor Rick Beeler, Director The following is an outline of what we need from you, and some things you should be aware of, if we are to keep this project application active. I have noted the status of applications and permits that require planning approval. For the status of applications that require Public Works Department approval, you need to check with Phil Fraser or John Pierog of the Public Works Department. . 1. You have received a Mitigated Determination of Non - significance for this project under. the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). You have also received approval for the project by Tukwila Board of Architectural Review. Please note that if you intend to alter the site plan significantly, you will need to re -visit these processes. 2. You have not been issued a Shoreline Substantial Development Permit by the City. In response to your question of August 19, 1994, a street vacation is necessary before your shoreline permit can be issued. This is because the shoreline permit application assumes a site plan that, in turn, assumes a street vacation.. If you want to revise your site plan such that you aren't using the vacated street for circulation, parking, flood storage and a bioswale, you could do that and receive your shoreline permit before the street vacation is complete, provided you fulfill all other applicable code. requirements. 3. The status of the street vacation is that an ordinance for the vacation must be written and approved by,the City Council. Please provide awritten request to the City Cleark that indicatesyour . intent to continue or terminate the pending street vacation. • 4. You must have your Flood Control Zone Permit (FCZP) before.you can receive your building permit. The FCZP can be issued in two phases; Phase One FCZP for shoreline improvements and Phase Two FCZP at the time of building permit application. 5. You must have your Substantial Shoreline Development Permit before you can receive your building permit. In addition to the street vacation, you must have your Phase One Flood Control Zone Permit before you can receive this permit. The following information must be complete and the drawings reflect these conditions where applicable before the shoreline permit can be issued. Please contact Phil Fraser if you have any questions on these items. a. Plans must include riverbank stabilization measures to assure riverbank protection. We have received your letter from Earth Consultants Inc. It addresses erosion control measures during construction, and says that, "If possible, the ground surface at the top of slope should be • sloped away from the bank in order to further reduce surface flow over the slope." In addition to these safeguards, the slope on the water side of the levy needs to be altered to 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • (206) 431-3670 • •Fax (206) 431-3665 reflect a 2:1 slope. We look forward to seeing the landscape plan for the bank. Finally, we need a statement from your geotech that bank stabilization measures will provide protection for the development for the life of the project, with normal maintenance. b. The landscape and planting plan must be completed in accordance with King County Riverbank Stabilization Guidelines. c. The trail/dike maintenance /fire access easement must extend from the catch point original ground to easterly property line. d. An access easement from S. 144th Street to trail/levy for public use must be shown. e. Flood storage calculations for a 7 day /100 year flood must be included in re- submittal. f. Provide a hydraulic analysis that assumes that the capacity of down stream pipes (to river), used by the development, is not exceeded for 25 year/24 hour storm, in accordance with King County Surface Water Design Manual. g. You must obtain Hydraulic Permit Approval from Washington State Fish and Wildlife. 6. A lot consolidation needs to be completed before a building permit can be issued. 7. It is possible for you to submit your utility permit applications shortly before you start construction, as they do not take long to process. 8. The building requires a certificate of elevation. Once your Shoreline Substantial Development permit is approved it can be revised under the conditions outlined in the attached (WAC 173 -14 -064). Please note that these revisions must meet the following criteria: o They cannot result in greater than a 10% increase in ground area coverage or the height of the building from the original submittal; o They cannot exceed height, lot coverage or setbacks or other provisions of the master permit . authorized under the original permit; o Landscaping must be consistent with conditions of original permit; and, o No adverse environmental impact can result from changes. In response to your question in our meeting of August 18, 1994, it would appear that a building permit will not vest your shoreline permit (see attached WAC 173 -14 -060), although there are other actions you could take that would demonstrate "substantial progress We would like you to provide us with a plan of action for this project that includes the permits you intend to apply for, in what sequence, and in what time frames. This will assure us that you have an understanding of the requirements, and allow us to anticipate when we need to respond to your requests. Please give me a call if you have any questions.

The following are our specific comments: I. TRAFFIC: Interurban /I405. The improvement costs at this location total over $13,000,000 and complexity of weaving traffic would result in prorated shares exceeding $5,000 /trip. It has been previously determined to use a "fair share" of $1,000 /trip with increase traffic at this location. GT Development's 16 peak hour trips mitigation is $16,000. III. PUBLIC WORKS PERMITS: A. Land Altering - earthwork quantities for cut/ excavation, fill /backfill and haul need to be indicated on the development plans. B. Flood Control Zone 1.] Riverbank stabilization study required 2.] Use NGV datum; show lowest floor elevations 3.] All lowest floor elevations to be minimum of 2 •feet higher than standard project flood if levee /dike system does not protect the property; if a levee /dike system does protect the property minimum lowest floor elevation is one foot above standard project flood elevation. 4.] Provide trail/riverbank/dike easement in accordance with agreement with Department of Parks and Recreation. Page 2 C C C. Drainage (Analysis) The May 5, 1994 faxed GT Development revised storm drainage narrative (attached), Page 1, "Proposed Drainage System ", last sentence - identifies "storage" based on 100 yr /24 hour storm event. Request drainage design applies criteria identified in King County Surface Water Design Manual under CORE REQUIREMENT #3 (Section 1.2.3 - Peak Rate Runoff Control Performance) and includes consideration of 100 yr /7 day event for all new impervious surfaces (roofs as well as vehicular) - for river storage calculations. Also, compensatory storage to be provided as part of the GT development design in accordance with King County's Flood Hazard Reduction Plan Policy FP -4 which states: "For structures and fill placed in the floodplain should be compensated for by excavation of equivalent volumes at equivalent elevations" (See Figure 10 attached). D. Utilities - 1.] Water - Improvements will need to be in compliance with the city's adopted Comprehensive Water Plan (1993) & will require installation of a new 10" main in Interurban /Maule Ave S R /W's replacing the existing 2" main. 2.] Sewer - Improvements will need to be in compliance with the city's adopted Comprehensive Sewer Plan (1993). 3.] Street Use - o Channelization required on Interurban Ave S. in accordinance with the Interurban Ave Plan. o Frontal improvements required on both Interurban Ave S and S 144 St in accordinance with the Ordinance #1516 and the Interurban Ave Plan (Entranco). o Private driveways (25' - 35'maximum) E. Landscape Irrigation - drought tolerant plantings are encouraged. If permanent irrigation plumbing is installed, a conservation system shall be. utilized. Please let me know if you have any questions concerning the above. cf: Ron Cameron, City Engineer John Pierog, PW Development Engineer Brian Shelton, PW Transportation Engineer Pat Broden, PW Sewer and Water Engineer Development File PF /prf �r`lla i_'Gi /� .1.. .ti:.�hlr M•r 1•. �.'i11tMi.77� ': Compensatory z: stora excavated f V w ^: •'� e�3.r.::c orxrpc.v. �' /\ 1 Mn,.•...`'•RMw�lj• (.1.�:1yIrj..i�iw«�: Y�w hww.1 t] .

The project consists of two parcels. Parcel No. 1 is bounded to the north by South 144th Street, to the east by the Green River, to the south by existing undeveloped area and to the west by Mimic Street. This parcel eontaiDa an existing building with asphalt parking and a storm drainage system. The drainage system from the existing paved area to connected a.) am cusaug w.ubolc e1ona tarot % 144th Str at. Art existing 36..in,-}i concrete storm drainage system conveys the storm drainage runoff from this project and upstream tributary area and discharges to the Green. River at the end of South 144th Street. The second parcel is bounded on the northeast by Msaule Street, on the southwest by Interurban Avenue South, on the southeast by the existing right -of -way, and on the northwest by South 144th Street. An existing storm drainage ditch along the west portion of this parcel conveys storm drainage from the upstream tributary area via a 36 -inch concrete storm drainage system along South 144th Street which discharges to the Green River. A portion of this parcel is within the floodplain according to FEMA. The flood elevation in this area has been determined by FEMA to have an elevation of 18. The proposed development consists of two new building additions to the existing building along with proposal asphalt parking and drive area. PROPOSED. S.TORM DRAINAGE aTEM The proposed project consists of one drainage basin which discharges to the existing 36 -inch concrete pipe along South 144th Street and is tributary to the Green River. Due to the fact that storm drainage runoff for this project'dlrectly discharges to the Green River, in accordance with The King County Surface Water .Design Manual, a storm drainage detention system is not required (see King County Storm Drainage Manual 1.2.3). The total existing impervious area subject to vehicular use for this project bas_bmn calculated to be approximately 30,875 square feet. The total proposed impervious area subject to vehicular Use for the project has been calculated to be 64 ,490 square feet. A n_ct increase of 0.77 acre of impervious area, subject to vehicular use, has been proposed for ties project. In accordance wtri- cegtuuetK�tut No. 5 of The King County Drainage Manual which states that, if a'proposed project contains more than' 1 acre of new impervious surface that will be subject to vehicular use or the storage of chemicals and proposes direct discharge of the neuroff to a regional facility receiving water, lake, wetland or closed depression, then a wet pond, shall be required for treatment of the storm drain runoff prior to discharge. As shown, the project does not increase the impervious area subject to vehicular use by more than 1 acre. Therefore, no wet pond treatment shall be required for this project. The project proposes to collect all of the storm drainage rung ia_a._storin drainage tightiine sygtctn and dlsc?rarge to a pr po_s d_g'ssallaed Ewalt prior to discharge to the existing storm drainage system in South 144th Street. The project has been designed to provide flood storage on parking area. Grading fora new parking area has been designed not to displace any flood storage volume available at existing condition. The proposed parking otl shall be graded to accommodate storage volume of 10 feet over rev impervious area for. 100- year/24 -hour storm event. - •. £ l3 3Syd Page 1 of 1 5035.001 (A I dc) JN3 SN00 N3Sf1 14.023VS Z8L8 -TSZ -993 E :ET b6ST /2T /SG► MEETING NOTES * ** Please note any changes and /or comments and return * ** Project: Date: Attendees: GT Development August 18, 1994 Duane Griffin, Building Official Bob Benedicto, Plans Checker Ron Cameron, City Engineer Phil Fraser, Engineer Brian Shelton, Engineer Diana Painter, Planner Bob McGarvey, GT Development Bob Fadden, Lance Mueller & Associates Bob M. - GT will eventually require 60 building space, to be occupied now. The current schedule is Permits complete - Construction start Occupy - fall 1997 ,000 sq. ft. of additional approximately 3 years from fall 1996 - spring 1997 Duane - 1994 building code will be in effect when project actually is going to be built, so will have to re- design current submittal. A building permit application is good for 6 months. Once the building permit is issued, construction must start in 6 months. The department can grant a 6 month extension, but this is discretionary. Bob F. - We are interested in going ahead on our shoreline permit. It is our understanding that, if the shoreline permit is good for two years, we can 'vest' the shoreline permit by applying for a building permit within that two year time frame. Then we won't have to go through the shoreline permit process again. Diana - I will have to check on how long a shoreline permit is good for, and whether or not you can vest it with a building permit application. I would like to understand why it is important for you to take the risk of having to start over again on your shoreline permit if your project is delayed beyond the two year time frame or the project is significantly changed. Why not just do the shoreline permit six months before you start your project, when you 1 { know what you want to do? Bob F. - You can never be sure if shoreline regulations will change. We would like to vest this project under current shoreline regulations. Diana - I would like to make it clear that you are committed at . this time to this site plan, building footprint and landscape scheme because you have already obtained approvals from the Board of Architectural Review. You have also already gone through the SEPA process with this proposal. Bob B. - The current building permit application expires January 7, 1995. At that point you will have to re -file. * * * Diana - Status of street vacation is that the council held a public hearing. The next step is to write a resolution for the vacation and have the council vote on it. Phil - There is a timing issue on the street vacation. Owners of the neighboring property to the south are interested in going ahead with development and vacation of their portion of the Maule r -o -w. If GT is going to delay their project, this may mean an access problem for these owners. A joint vacation with other property owners may be desirable. Bob F. - This would mean re- writing the easements and description of vacation. Brian - If the vacation is done now but the project doesn't go ahead, we have to have language in the resolution saying that Sanft still has access through Maule Ave. His access cannot be blocked by a gate, etc. Ques. - Is the building tied to the street vacation? problem if the building is changed? Brian - Can you condition the street vacation to the permit? Bob F. - Setbacks are adequate even without the street vacation. * * * Is this a shoreline Bob F. - The reason the shoreline permit has not been processed is because we can't come to an agreement on the shoreline plantings. 2 Phil - We rely on King County standards for riverbank planting. The last time we reviewed the shoreline application, we were missing the hydraulic calculations, complete easements in shoreline area, and shoreline cross sections. Another permits tied to the shoreline permit is the Flood Zone Control Permit. Diana - Historically, we have had trouble getting all the information we need for the shoreline permit. Because of the complexity of this project, we need assurance that the site plan, and therefore the landscaping, won't change with future grading plans for flood control, etc. It is not that these things can't be worked out, but that we haven't had all the information. In a recent submittal your geotech said you were going to leave the blackberry bushes in the riverbank. It has been agreed ever since the pre -app that the river bank would be landscaped. Phil - We don't consider blackberries an acceptable planting for a landscaped riverbank area. Ques. - Is the building tied to the shoreline permit? Diana - The entire project is considered in the shoreline zone, because part of the parcel is in the shoreline zone. Duane - You can't tie the building to the shoreline permit, because the building permit application is null and void [if it is cancelled]. Phil - It is possible to divide the Flood Control Zone permit in two, one for the shoreline improvements and one for the building itself. The building requires a certificate of elevation. Bob F. - Technically, the r -o -w parcels are separate parcels and could therefore be considered outside the shoreline zone. Diana - Even though the vacation and Boundary Line Adjustment has not been completed, the project has been approved as a whole by the Board of Architectural Review and been considered as a whole in the SEPA process. Phil - It is possible to do the utility permits shortly before you start construction. They don't take very long. * * * Ques. - Are frontal improvements tied to SEPA? Has a developer's agreement been drawn up? 3 Bob F. - They are required by ordinance. Brian - We obtain r -o -w on Interurban when we vacate Maule Ave. Ques. - What is drainage tied to? Phil - Drainage is tied to street use and Flood Control Zone permit. Ques. - What is access easement tied to? Brian - I suggest that the street vacation go through now, with corresponding frontal improvements and the access easement. The more things that are taken care of up front, the more time is saved later in sorting the project out when building permits are applied for. Ron C. - Whoever goes forward with this project first (GT or neighbors) will be responsible for improving access easement to neighboring property. If neighboring property goes ahead with project first, they will be responsible for their fair share of the frontal improvements along Interurban. Diana - How are you determining 'who has started first'? Ron C. - That can be figured out later. We have precedent to cover this type of situation. Bob F. - We have not gone forward with the Boundary Line Consolidation yet because it's complicated because different parcels are held by different banks. Duane - The building permit will not be issued before a Boundary Line Consolidation is complete. This is another item that would be easy to take care of now, possibly saving some time later. Duane - I need a letter from Bob Fadden requesting that the building permit be cancelled. Diana - I want to be assured that the applicants know that if there are significant changes to the project, that they will have to go through the BAR, SERA and shoreline process again. Bob F. - Permit amendments are easy. It is easy to go through the process again because we have all the drawings. 4 Z,T2i."�-i+tVAV:TV gr+tyaMMVII 17,M, 7,za +aa: . ACTION ITEMS: o Diana to check time limitations on shoreline permit, to see if shoreline permit can be vested with building permit application, and if street vacation can be tied to shoreline permit as a condition. o Phil and Diana to review latest shoreline drawings and get back to applicant on status of application. o Bob F. to formally request withdrawal of building permit application. cc John Pierog Jack Pace. �r City of .Tukwila Department of Community Development John W..

The BAR also adopted the findings and conclusions contained in the Staff Report dated May 19, 1994. Any changes to the specific design approved by the BAR will require further BAR approval. Minor, incidental changes maybe administratively approved by the Director of Community Development. The appeal period for the BAR decision will be fulfilled on June 5, 1994. If no appeal of the Board's decision is filed by that date, the decision will be final. Please note that the local Shoreline Substantial Development Permit can be issued on June 20, 1994 if revisions are complete. At that point, the state appeal period begins, which is 30 days. As you are aware, we need drawings that illustrate all the points listed in the shoreline permit application, including an updated landscape plan. I've included here a permit application.for your information in updating the drawings. I've also included a memo to the file from Phil Fraser, which documents conversations between Mr. Fraser and your civil engineer regarding studies required by the Public Works Department whose outcome may affect your shoreline permit application.

The conditions involved revisions of the landscape plan and screening of rooftop mechanical equipment, and must be done in conjunction with applying for a building permit. There were no comments on the environmental checklist for the project. They still have to obtain their Substantial Development Permit, under the auspices of the Shoreline Management Act, for the project. This will require revisions of the drawings for landscape treatment of the shoreline, and may require that they complete their riverbank stabilization study, Flood Control Zone permit, and final drainage plan and hydraulic calculations in order to finalize shoreline permit drawings. The comment period for the local shoreline permit process expires on June 20, 1994 and the state appeal period will be 30 days after approval of the permit. So GT will not be able to obtain their shoreline permit until late July. Please let me know if I can provide you with any additional . information.

SEPA Determination & conditions Staff Report to the Board of Architectural Review FINDINGS OF FACT VICINITY /SITE INFORMATION L94 -0013: G.T. Development Page 3 Project description: The project consists of the addition of744600 :4q ft. of office, production, and warehouse space to an existing 116400A; ft. office and production space. A portion of the original building will be demolished and new building areas added on as wings to the existing shop area. Total building area will be 61,000 sq. ft., with one story to the west and two stories to the east. The total lot area, including the former Puget Sound Electric Railroad right -of -way and a portion of Maule Avenue, is approximately 170,000 sq. ft. Site description: The site is bounded by Maule Avenue and Interurban Avenue to the west, South 144th Street to the north, the Green River and its shoreline to the west, and a vacant parcel to the south. The site is relatively flat except in the shoreline area and on the west side of the site, where there is a drainage ditch. The site currently contains a number of mature specimen trees planted prior to the development of GT Development, as well as mature landscaping planted at the time of construction of the existing building. The proposal requires removal of these trees and their replacement with new landscaping. Surrounding land use: Businesses north of the site, across South 144th Street, include one and two story offices, warehouse and light industrial uses, and one residence. To the south are two vacant parcels that are being proposed for commercial development at this time. To the west is Interurban Avenue South, and the Green River bounds the site to the east. Site development: The percentage of impervious surface proposed in conjunction with this project is approximately 70 %, including the structure and paved areas. The parking lot area within the Puget Sound Electric Railway right -of -way is to accommodate flood storage, and drainage is to be handled with an underground storm water system and a grass -lined swale. A link in the Green River Trail will be provided on the east boundary of the site. Direct access from the structure to the trail is provided, as well as a small picnic area. The following studies, agreements and approvals related to development of the site must be completed before building permits can be issued. If, as a result of the conclusions of any one of these studies, the site plan is substantially altered, the project must be revised and re- submitted to the Board for their approval. Staff Report to the. Board of Architectural Review L940013: G.T. Development Page 4 • o Vacation of Maule Street as indicated on the site plan; o Location and width of access easement across Puget Sound Electric Railway right -of -way; o Riverbank stabilization study; o Flood control plan, in conjunction with Flood Control Zone permits; o Final drainage plan and hydraulic calculations; and o A revised tree replacement and landscape plan. Access and circulation: Access to the main entrance of the development is via South 144th Street, and access to the main parking area is via Interurban Avenue. The project requires vacation of approximately 250 ft. of Maule Avenue on the northern portion of the site. This removes one access driveway. This access to the property is replaced slightly east of the existing entry. Access via Maule to the property to the south of this. project has been replaced with an access easement through the parking lot on the Puget Sound Electric Railroad property. Fire access is accommodated via an existing drive serving the south side of the structure, utilizes the Green River trail bed, and parking lot access on the east side of the site. Signs: New signs for the site will be developed at a future date. The applicant has indicated that he can present this proposal to the Board of Architectural Review in the future, at their request. BACKGROUND The original structure at this site was constructed in 1975 and an addition was added in 1978. At this point in time, the owner wishes to consolidate his operations in one structure (they currently lease sites across the street). The proposed expansion would accommodate all their operations, from offices to production and shipping. DECISION CRITERIA In the following discussion, the Board of Architectural Review criteria per Section 18.60.050 of the Zoning Code is shown below in bold, followed by the applicant's and staff's response. Review Guidelines 1. Relationship of Structure to Site. A. The site should be planned to accomplish a desirable transition with the streetscape and to provide for adequate landscaping, and pedestrian movement. B. Parking and service areas should be located, designed, and screened to moderate the visual Staff Report to the Board of Architectural Review L94 -0013: G.T. Development Page 5 impact of large paved areas. C. The height and scale of each building should be considered in relation to its site. Applicant's Response: "The fact that the site is angular to Interurban Avenue and the building is set back over 150' from the front property line helps lessen any visual impacts and allows additional opportunity for interior landscaping among and around interior parking and loading dock area. The height of the building varies and the elevation plays on mass/void with glass areas, recesses and jogs, yet is tied together with reveals and color." Staff's Response: A. The front facade and the main entrance to the structure faces South 144th Street at the east end of the street. In terms of site design, this entry is marked by a crosswalk through the parking lot from the public sidewalk, and planters that flank the main entry. The facade fronting the public river trail is faceted, with horizontal fenestration on both floors and in each bay. The facade facing Interurban Avenue South is also stepped back to a degree. The portion of the facade that is most visible from Interurban Avenue contains a secondary entry, and is marked by horizontal fenestration. The portion of the facade that relates to the loading dock and entrance to the outdoor storage areas is stepped back and framed with overhangs and other architectural elements. Parking and circulation elements surround the structure and necessarily are the elements by which a transition can be made from the structure to the site and public areas. This transition is softened by landscaping at both the periphery of the site and between the structure and the parking lots and /or driveways. B. Parking and circulation areas are broken down into three lots on the north, west and southern portions of the site. The parking areas are screened with landscaping, primarily deciduous street trees. The outdoor storage, recycling and trash collection area is screened with an architectural element, gate and landscaping. The truck loading area, as viewed from Interurban Avenue South, is screened with landscaping. C. The structure makes maximum use of the site, with minimal transition between the structure and public areas and neighboring land uses. The setback of the structure from Interurban Avenue will improve this situation Staff Report to the Board of Architectural Review on the west side of the site. L94 -0013: G.T. Development Page 6 2. Relationship of Structure and Site to Adjoining Area. A. Harmony in texture, lines, and masses is encouraged. • B. Appropriate landscape transition to adjoining properties should be provided. C. Public buildings and structures should be consistent with the established neighborhood character. D. Compatibility of vehicular pedestrian circulation patterns and loading facilities in terms of safety, efficiency and convenience should be encouraged. E. Compatibility of on -site vehicular circulation with street circulation should be encouraged. Applicant's Response: "All vehicular access points are away from the intersection of Interurban Avenue and South 144th which is where the Metro bus stop is located. The building faces South 144th Street and the main entry allows for three handicap parking areas to enter without crossing vehicular traffic and is located as far as possible from the loading and outdoor storage areas. Landscaping or site obscuring fence surrounds the site." Staff's Response: A. The height and scale of the proposed structure is in keeping with the long term vision for this area, the Interurban Special Review District standards, and with similar projects within the corridor. Use of materials, color and texture is also compatible with similar projects in the Interurban corridor. B. The landscape transition to the shoreline is minimal due to the siting of the structure at the 40' setback line. There is no landscape transition from the site to the property to the south because the original structure to be retained is approximately 15 ft. from the southern boundary of the site. Landscape transitions from the site to the surrounding public streets are provided. C. Not applicable D. Flexibility in pedestrian and vehicular circulation patterns is limited due to the density of the building proposal on the site. Within this limitation, safety, efficiency and convenience has been provided for. Pedestrian movement is provided for between Interurban and South 144th Avenue, and between South 144th Avenue and the structure. Staff Report to the Board of Architectural Review L94 -0013: G.T. Development Page 7 E. Compatibility of on -site vehicular circulation and street circulation is provided for, in that curb cuts are limited on Interurban Avenue and vehicular access to the site on the north side is set back from the intersection of Interurban and South 144th. Existing parking lot access from South 144th, with the exception of the Maule Avenue access, is to be retained. These access points are aligned with access drives to properties to the north. 3. Landscape and Site Treatment A. Where existing topographic patterns contribute to beauty and utility of a development, they should be recognized and preserved and enhanced. B. Grades of walks, parking spaces, terraces, and other paved areas should promote safety and provide an inviting and stable appearance. C. Landscape treatment should enhance architectural features, strengthen vistas and important axes, and provide shade. D. In locations where plants will be susceptible to injury by pedestrian or motor trqffic, mitigating steps should be taken. E. Where building sites limit planting, the placement of trees or shrubs in paved areas is encouraged. F. Screening of service yards, and other places which tend to be unsightly, should be accomplished by use of walls, fencing, planting or combinations of these. Screening should be effective in winter and summer. G. In areas where general planting will not prosper, other materials such as fences, walls, and pavings of wood, brick, stone, or gravel may be used. H. Exterior lighting, when used, should enhance the building design and the adjoining landscape. Lighting standards and futures should be of a design and size compatible with the building and adjacent area. Lighting should be shielded, and restrained in design. Excessive brightness and brilliant colors should be avoided. Applicant's Response: 'The use of street trees and landscaping along Interurban Avenue were used to screen the parking area, from the street. Shade trees throughout the • parking area are for shade and also to break up . the parking area. Smaller scale planting is used in more people -like spaces, for example entry, riverside and patio. Cleaning up the river bank to enhance its scenic value. Landscaping is used against the building facade to break up wall areas and soften surfaces." Staff Report to the L94-0013: G.T. Development Board of Architectural Review Staff's Response: A. Topographic features of the site are limited to the shoreline area. Page 8 B. Grades and treatment of walkways, parking areas, and other paved areas appear to be adequate for safety and aesthetic purposes. Handicap ramps from parking areas to entries may be revised in conjunction with referenced site development studies and requirements. C. Landscape treatment does not enhance architectural features. For example, "parking lot shade trees" are provided in an irregular pattern along the length of the facade of the structure, with little relationship between this pattern and the bays of the building, fenestration patterns, or entry features. In general, landscaping is provided where possible, and will help soften the appearance of the structure from public rights -of -way. D. Plants are separated from walkways and vehicular circulation areas with raised curbs and planters. E. Not applicable. F. See paragraphs 1A and 1B. G. Not applicable. H. Exterior lighting is provided on the site. Compatibility of fixture design and 1.rG� placement with overall project design will be confirmed at the time the project is submitted for building permits. 4. Building Design A. Architectural style is not restricted, evaluation of a project should be based on quality of its design and relationship to surroundings. B. Buildings should be to appropriate scale and be in harmony with permanent neighboring developments. • C. Building components - such as windows, doors, eaves, and parapets - should have good proportions and relationship to one another. Building components and ancillary parts shall be consistent with anticipated life of the structure. D. Colors should be harmonious, with bright or brilliant colors used only for accent. E. Mechanical equipment or other utility hardware on roof, ground or buildings should be screened from view. F. Exterior lighting should be part of the architectural concept. Fixtures, standards and all exposed accessories should be harmonious with building design. G. Monotony of design in single or multiple buildings projects should be avoided. Variety of detail, form, and siting should be used to provide visual interest. Staff Report to the Board of Architectural Review L94 -0013: G.T. Development Page 9 Applicant's Response: "All building components are of industry standard and consistent with other similar projects in the area, painted, rusticated concrete, textured dryvit and color glass. Design quality is comparable with Fairway Center, the only recent project in this area. Neighboring projects have no architectural relationship to each other or significant design feature worth repeating." Staff's Response: A. The style of this structure is appropriate to the function of the structure, as well as long term plans for the character of this Special Review District. The structure has the appearance of a low scale, suburban office structure, with industrial elements. Detailing is simple and appropriate to the scale of the structure and its method of construction. The concrete is to be painted in a soft green and shades of beige. Some dryvit is used and will contribute a slightly contrasting texture to the painted concrete. Windows at the entries are to be clear with aluminum frames. Horizontal window bands are to be black tinted glass with black anodized aluminum frames. B. The proposed structure is compatible in scale with structures in the, vicinity of the site. C. Building components are appropriate to the type of structure and method of construction (tilt -up concrete). They express the desired character of the building, which is, in *turn, in keeping with long range plans and policies for this area. Horizontal window bands are consistent in scale and proportion with the bays of the structure and its horizontal emphasis. Horizontal reveals reinforce this pattern. The main entry features a two -story glass bay that displays interior circulation elements. Materials and finishes are good quality and should be consistent with the life of the structure, given normal maintenance. D. Colors consist of earth tones. An exception is the dark tinted windows, which will contrast with the soft tones of the facade treatment. See Note A above. E. Mechanical equipment will be screened in accordance with City of Tukwila standards when the project is submitted for building permit. F. Compatibility of exterior light standards and fixtures with the structure and the site will be checked and confirmed when the project is submitted for building permits. Staff Report to the L94 -0013: G.T. Development Page 10 Board of Architectural Review G. Despite the utilitarian aspects of this structure and the horizontal emphasis in design, variety is provided by the vertical emphasis of the entry bay, by the faceting of certain facades, and by architectural screens and overhangs that are features of the building. Detailing also provides interest, with reveals and window frame details. 5. Miscellaneous structures and street furniture A. Miscellaneous structures and street furniture should be designed to be part of the architectural concept of design and landscape. Materials should be compatible with buildings, scale should be appropriate, colors should be in harmony with buildings and surroundings, and proportions should be to scale. B. Lighting in connection with miscellaneous structures and street furniture should meet the guidelines applicable to site, landscape and buildings. Applicant's Response: "New sidewalks along Interurban South and install a new Metro bus stop to Metro standards. A lighted walk for Interurban Avenue is proposed to the river, for public and private use." Staff's Response: A. Miscellaneous site structures include site furniture in the patio area of the structure next to the river trail and bus stop fixtures near the entrance to South 144th Street. Site furniture can be checked for appropriateness when the project is submitted for building permits. Metro will provide a bus shelter and additional furniture if and when ridership warrants it. B. Lighting will be checked for location, glare, and design compatibility at the time the project is submitted for building permits. INTERURBAN SPECIAL REVIEW DISTRICT The following six criteria are used in the special review of the Interurban area in order to manage the development of this area, to upgrade its general appearance, to provide incentives for compatible uses, to recognize and to capitalize on the benefits to the area of the amenities including the green River and nearby recreational facilities, to encourage development of more people - oriented use, and to provide for development incentives that will help spur growth. Staff Report to the L94 -0013: G.T. Development Board of Architectural Review Page 11 1. The proposed development design should e sensitive to the natural amenities of the area. Applicant's response: "The natural amenity of the are ; is the Green River.

Handicap ramps may be altered as a result of site development studies and requirements listed under. Site Development. Staff Report to the L94 -0013: G.T. Development Page 12 Board of Architectural Review 4. The proposed property use should be compatible with neighboring uses and complementary to the district in which U is located. Applicant's response: "The business of the project is compatible with neighborhood zoning and designed to upgrade the physical appearance of the site." Staff's response: Use of the property is compatible with the character of this District as it exists, as well as the long term vision for the District. 5. The proposed development should seek to minimize significant adverse environmental impacts. Applicant's response: "All reasonable precautions will be taken such as preventing runoff, minimizing paving areas, etc." Staff's response: Protection against significant adverse environmental impacts on the site is provided under the auspices of the State Environmental Policy Act and the codes and standards of the City of Tukwila. Environmental benefits of the project as proposed is greater control of water quality as .a result of proposed treatment, and possible improvements in riverbank stability. Impacts of the project such as increased runoff due to increased impervious surfaces and the removal of mature specimen trees is mitigated.with landscape plans and drainage plans, and the addition of a bioswale. Traffic impacts are mitigated as noted in the SEPA Mitigated Determination of Non- significance. 6. The proposed development should demonstrate due regard for significant historical features in the area. Applicant's response: 'The only historical feature is the Green River and the park across the river. Setback from and access to the river for viewing is provided." Staff Report to the Board of Architectural Review Staff's response: L94 -0013: G.T. Development Page 13 The primary historical feature of the site is the Green River. This feature will be enhanced by this project, as noted above. CONCLUSIONS 1. Melatioiisllip `of-Structue ":to; Site: The program for this structure and the cow, rat io f the site are such that there is little flexibili in the site plan, and little opportunity to address transitional relations ps between the structure ure and the site. As a result of this and the project's location within the shoreline and floodway of the River, there is very little flexibility in the site plan. The studies and requirements listed under Site Development may therefore result in site plan modifications. If substantial alteration is necessary, this project must be re- submitted to the Board of Architectural Review. 2. teRelationship- of;Structure and. Site ao'Adjoiriin� }Area• The project responds in a satisfactory way to its immediate context, and makes a positive contribution in terms of design and use to the Interurban Corridor as a whole. 3. itaildsdape .and .Site,Treatment:,. Both the tree replacement plan and landscape plan must be revised to the satisfaction of staff before a building permit can be issued. Revisions are to include the following: A. The inventory of existing mature trees on site must be revised to accurately reflect existing conditions, and include information on the species and caliper of existing trees, as well as the dripline. The applicant must provide an evaluation of existing trees on the site, prepared by a professional, to substantiate the tree replacement plan (ie an explanation of why no existing trees can be saved). And the tree replacement plan must meet the provisions of the Tree Regulations ordinance in terms of replacing canopy cover. B. Street trees along Interurban Avenue must reflect the Interurban Street Tree Plan. C. Screening must be adequately addressed in the landscape plan, including screening of the structure from the Green River Trail. D. Landscape design must complement architectural design; an example is reflecting the symmetry of the main entry with corresponding planting design. i Staff Report to the L940013: G.T. Development Page 14 The landscape design should respond to the purpose of the various elements of the landscape plan; for example, trees along South 144th Street are shown as ornamental trees rather than street trees. And finally, landscape elements should complement and reinforce each other and the site plan; for example, interior parking lot landscaping should complement the street tree plantings. E. Plantings within the 40' shoreline of the Green River must meet City of Tukwila standards in terms of species and location, and must be located far enough from the Green River Trail shoulder to allow for the, safety of trail users and trail maintenance. F. The applicant must submit a landscape plan prepared by and stamped by a licensed landscape architect. Board of Architectural Review 4. Biiildin yDesi :^ Building materials, colors, texture and design is appropriate to the building type, and will be a positive contribution to the Interurban Corridor. The dark windows and window frames may provide more contrast than is desirable with the soft colors and subtle textures of the rest of the building. 5. Interurban Special_'Review:,District The project as proposed addresses the intent of the Interurban Special Review District standards. RECOMMENDATIONS Approval of this project is recommended, with conditions. 1. Applicant must submit a revised tree replacement an_ d landscape plan that addresses the issues outlined in Item 3, including: a. Accurate tree inventory b. Accordance with Interurban Street Tree Plan c. Adequate landscape screening d. Design that complements architectural design and site e. Design that meets shoreline policies f.

Parking compact standard handicapped parking screening loading screening Rooftop, trash & recycling screening It would be helpful if the drawings showed how rooftop mechanical equipment was to be screened. At minimum, the design review application needs to say that screening will be shown on building permit drawings, and will be adequate to accomplish screening from public roadways. .. Trail improvements Trail improvements need to be shown per conversation on April 11, 1994 with Don Williams of the Parks Department. They also need to satisfy the Fire Department's concerns if the trail is also to be used for emergency access (see attached memo from Mike Alderson). Street improvements Street improvements and necessary easements must be provided per the Public Works Department. Access The number and location of access points to the site need to reflect Public Works Department's requirements, to be determined after reviewing the traffic study.

Geotechnical Engineers, Geologists V Environmental Scientists January 15, 1988 E -3693 GT Development Corporation 6437 South 144th Street Tukwila, Washington 98188 Attention: Mr. Robert McGarvey Gentlemen: We are pleased to submit our report titled "Geotechnical Engineering Study, Proposed Single -Story Office /Warehouse Structure, South 144th Street, Tukwila, Washington ". This report presents the results of our field exploration, selective laboratory tests, and engineering analyses. The purpose and scope of our study was to explore the subsurface soil conditions within the proposed development area, and to provide geotechnical recommendations for foundation design, site preparation criteria and other geotechnical considerations. The results of our field study indicate that the subject site is underlain with a thin layer of topsoil overlying native soils. The native soils consist of very loose to loose silts and silty sands overlying loose to dense sands which extend to the maximum depth of our borings. The proposed structure may derive support from either conventional continuous and spread footings bearing on at least two feet of structural fill or on driven timber piles. Due to the consistency of the upper soils, structures supported by conventional footings may experience settlement, and bearing pressures should be low to reduce the magnitude of settlements. The native soils are moisture sensitive and will be difficult to work if the in -place moisture content exceeds the optimum moisture content. Consequently, special considerations should be given to design and construction practices relating to the prevention of moisture accumulation and construction disturbance of the exposed subgrade surfaces. This report has been prepared for specific application to this project in a manner consistent with that level of care and skill ordinarily exercised by other members of the profession currently practicing under similar conditions in this area for the exclusive use of GT Development Corporation and their representatives. No other warranty, expressed or implied, is made.

The following sections of this report describe our study and contain geotechnical recommendations regarding foundation design criteria, earthwork considerations, and site drainage. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project site is located approximately as shown on the Vicinity Map, Plate 1. At the time our study was performed, the site, proposed building locations and our approximat.:. exploratory • locations were approxi- mately as shown on the Boring Location Plan, Plate 2. We understand that it is planned to construct a single -story office /warehouse structure at the subject site. Building plans were not available for the preparation of this report; however, prelimi- nary concepts for the proposed structure indicate that the building will be constructed of concrete tilt -wall design with a concrete slab -on- grade. The finish floor elevation will be at or near the existing site grade. The structure will be approximately twenty - five (25) feet high and will contain large areal loading bays. Preliminary design loads for the proposed structure are estimated not to exceed one hundred (100) kips for the column loads, twenty - five hundred (2500) pounds per lineal foot (plf) for the wall loads, and two hundred fifty (250) pounds per square foot (psf) for the slab loads. The remaining portions of the site will be developed with parking facilities and landscaping. If any of the above design criteria change, we should be consulted to review the recommendations contained in this report. In any case, it is recommended that Earth Consultants, Inc. (ECI) be retained to perform a general review of the final design. SITE CONDITIONS Surface The site is located northeast of the intersection of South 144th Street and Maule Avenue in Tukwila, Washington. It is bordered on the north by South 144th Street and on the west by an existing GT Commercial Development structure. The parcel is bounded by wooded undeveloped property to the south; the Green River borders adjoining property to the east. Earth Consultants, Inc. GT Development Corporation January 15, 1988 E -3693 Page 3 The property is relatively level with a topographic relief of approximately two feet. The southeast corner of the property encompasses a portion of the steeply sloping embankment to the river. The top of the riverbank was approximately twenty (20) feet above the water level at the time of our field study. The upper portion of the bank slopes down at approximately 3:1 (Horizon - tal:Vertical) for a vertical distance of about eight feet, then a near - vertical drop of approximately twelve (12) feet to the water's edge. The upper slope area was covered with dense blackberry and other assorted bushes at the time of our study. Partially buried logs and other debris from earlier floods was exposed in the lower portion of the embankment. Two residences are located in the northeast and northwest corners of the subject site. The house in the northeast corner, adjacent to the river, is vacated and has two outbuildings. The home located in the northwest corner is currently occupied. Vegetation consists of large old- growth firs, fruit trees and thick hedges around the houses. The south end is covered with scattered fruit and other deciduous trees along with thick patches of blackberry brush. The top of the embankment adjacent to the river is cleared and covered with tall grass. An access road runs through this clearing from South 144th Street to the northeast property corner. The road ends on the bordering lot south of the study site. Subsurface The site was explored by drilling two borings at the approximate locations shown on Plate 2. A more detailed description of the conditions encountered at each boring location is presented on the Boring Logs, Plates 4 and 5 of this submittal. A description of the field exploration methods and laboratory testing program is included in this report following the Discussion and Recommendations section. Our exploratory borings encountered a surficial mantle of topsoil, and sod, consisting of loose sandy silt mixed with roots and. organics. The topsoil and sod layer is about three inches thick. Beneath the topsoil layer are native soils consisting of very loose to loose silts and silty sands to depths of between about ten (10) and sixteen (16) feet below the existing grade. The silty soils were encountered predominantly in the northwest corner of the property with the more granular sand soils being encountered in the southeast corner of the site. Grain size distribution tests performed on selected near - surface samples indicate that these soils contain from 38 to 93 percent of fine - grained soils. Below the silts and silty sands,• loose to dense, fine to medium grained sands extend to the maximum depth explored. Earth Consultants, Inc. GT Development Corporation. January 15, 1988 Groundwater E -3693 Page 4 The groundwater seepage levels observed while drilling varied from about sixteen (16) to nineteen and one -half (19 -1/2) feet below the existing grade in Borings B -1 and B -2, respectively. The ground- water levels are indicated on the boring logs. The groundwater seepage level is not static, and fluctuations in the level may occur depending on the amount of rainfall, surface water runoff, and other factors. Generally, the water level is higher in the wetter winter months. DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS General The site is underlain with native granular soils consisting of very loose to loose silts and fine - grained silty sands extending to about sixteen (16) feet below the existing grade. Beneath this stratum, loose to dense sands extend to the a depth of about forty (40) feet or more below the ground surface. The proposed structure may be supported by conventional continuous and spread footings bearing on at least two feet of structural fill placed over recompacted native soils. Footing pressures of twelve hundred (1200) psf will induce ap- proximately one and one -half inch of total settlement, and about one inches of differential settlement. Greater footing pressures will result in larger total and differential settlements. Most of the settlement will occur during construction. If the proposed struc- ture cannot tolerate the above settlements, foundation support can be attained from a deep foundation system of piles or piers bearing on the medium dense to dense sands beneath the upper loose layers. Total settlements for timber piles driven ten feet into the medium dense to dense sands and supporting an axial load of twenty (20) tons are estimated at one -half inch. The manageability of the upper soil layer during wet weather construction is also a concern for the proposed development. The silts and silty sands contain a high percentage of fines and are moisture sensitive. Moisture from rainfall combined with construc- tion disturbance could further weaken the loose subgrade soils and reduce their workability. Soils which cannot be recompacted to structural fill specifications will have to be removed from the building area and replaced with a suitable wet weather material. Therefore, we recommend that special considerations be given to design and construction practices relating to the prevention of moisture accumulation and to provide a working surface during wet ,weather construction. Earth Consultants, Inc. GT Development Corporation January 15, 1988 E -3693 Page 5 The following sections of this report present the results of our study in further detail. Our recommendations for various geotech- nical aspects of the development are based on the information from the field, limited laboratory testing, analyses, and our experience and engineering judgement. Riverbank Concerns We have discussed the issue of river bank stabilization with Mr. Andrew LeVesque of the King County Office of Surface Water Manage- ment and with Mr. Phil Fraser of the City of Tukwila. King County has a goal of improving riverbanks along the Green River in regard to both bank stability and erosion. We understand that the subject site will be governed by the requirements of the City of Tukwila. The City of Tukwila generally follows King County's goals for river- bank stabilization. For preliminary planning purposes, we anticipate that the following requirements may be made at the time you apply for a building permit: (1) Provide a thirty (30) foot wide easement along the top of the bank with a fifteen (15) foot wide gravel surfaced roadway; (2) Trim the oversteepened bank back to an inclination of 2H:1V and revegetate disturbed areas; and (3) Place coarse riprap, including several large rocks up to fifteen hundred (1500) pounds in weight, on the portion of the riverbank below the vegetation line. Included in these requirements will be a detailed on -site survey of the actual bank configuration, river bottom profile, and a riverbank stabilization report. Requirements for riverbank stabilization may change in the next few years and the goals of the regulating agencies - City of Tukwila, King County, Washington State Department of Fisheries, and the Army Corps of Engineers - are-being applied on a case -by -case basis. It may also be necessary to provide an on -site storage facility for .storage of a one - hundred -year rainstorm for seven days. Earth Consultants, Inc, 1 GT Development Corporation January 15, 1988 Foundations Conventional Footings E -3693 Page 6 The proposed structure may be supported on conventional continuous and spread footings bearing on at least two feet of structural fill placed over the native soils. Prior to placement of the structural fill, the exposed surface of the native soils should be densified in -place to at least 90 percent of the maximum dry density. Fill placed under footings should extend outward from the edge of the footings for a lateral distance equal to or greater than the depth of fill placed beneath the footings. Exterior footings should be bottomed at a minimum depth of twelve (12) inches below the lowest adjacent outside finish grade. Interior footings may be at a depth of twelve (12) inches below the top of the slab. Footings bearing on structural fill should be designed for a maximum allowable soil bearing pressure of twelve hundred (1200) psf. Continuous and individual spread footings should have minimum widths of fifteen (15) and twenty -four (24) inches, respectively. A one -third increase in the above bearing pressures may be used when considering short term wind or seismic loads. Lateral loads due to wind or seismic forces may be resisted by friction between the foundation and the supporting compacted fill subgrade or by passive earth pressure on the foundations. For the latter, the foundations must be poured "neat" against the existing soil or backfilled with a compacted fill meeting the requirements of structural fill. A coefficient of friction of 0.35 may be used between the structural foundation concrete and the supporting subgrade. The passive resistance of undisturbed natural soils and well compacted fill may be taken as equal to the pressure of a fluid having a density of three hundred (300) pounds per cubic foot (pcf). We recommend that drains be placed around all perimeter footings. The drains should be constructed using a four -inch diameter per- forated pipe bedded and covered with free - draining gravel. The drains should have a positive gradient towards suitable discharge facilities. The footing drainage system should not be tied into the roof drainage system. The footing excavation should be backfilled with granular soil except for the top foot which should be back - filled with a relatively impermeable soil such as silt, clay or topsoil. Alternatively, the surface can be sealed with asphalt or concrete pavements. Earth Consultants, Inc. GT Development Corporation January 15, 1988 E -3693 Page 7 Driven Timber Piles Alternatively, the proposed structure may be supported on sound pressure- treated Class B timber piles driven into the medium dense to dense sands underlying the very loose to loose silts and silty sands at a depth of about sixteen (16) feet below existing ground surface. The piles should conform to the specifications outlined in the Uniform Building Code Standard 25 -12 for friction and end bearing piles. Timber piles should have a minimum butt diameter of twelve (12) inches and a minimum tip diameter of ten (10) inches. Timber piles should be placed no closer than three pile diameters, center -to- center. A maximum compression load capacity of twenty (20) tons can be used for piles driven to the recommended criteria. For a hammer having a rated energy of fifteen thousand (15,000) foot - pounds, the recom- mended driving criteria is twenty (20) blows per foot for the last one foot of driving, and a final set of one -half inch or less. Similar driving criteria can be developed for other hammer energies, if needed. A portion of the compression load capacity will be developed by side friction in the bearing stratum. However, virtually all of the tension (uplift) and lateral load capacity will be dependent upon embedment in the bearing stratum. A timber pile penetrating five feet into the bearing sands is estimated to have an• allowable uplift capacity of four. tons. Similarly, we estimate a one -ton lateral load applied at the ground surface will create less than one - eighth (1/8) inch deflection. Based on the boring information, we expect that pile lengths will vary between twenty -one (21) and twenty -seven (27) feet below existing grade. Because soil conditions can be variable, we recommend that at least two indicator test piles be driven prior to ordering the production piles to obtain a more accurate estimate of pile lengths and to better determine driving characteristics. The piles and hammer used should be of the same size and type as will be used in production driving. ECI's representative should observe the installation of both thelindicator piles and production piles on a full -time basis. Lateral loads due to wind or seismic forces may be resisted by the piles and by passive pressure on the grade beams. Additional lateral loads can be resisted by battered piles and friction between the slab and the subgrade. A coefficient of 0.35 may be used between the concrete slab and subgrade. Passive earth pressures on the grade beams can be assumed to be equal to that exerted by a fluid having a density of three hundred (300) pcf. Earth Consultants, Inc. GT Development Corporation January 15, 1988 E -3693 Page 8 Slab -on -Grade Floors Slab -on -grade floors may be supported on the native soil subgrade after proofrolling or on structural fill. Any disturbed native soils which cannot be compacted to structural fill specifications should be replaced with structural fill. Four inches of free - draining sand or gravel should• be placed over the subgrade as a capillary break. We also recommend that a vapor barrier, such as a 6 mil plastic membrane, be placed between the slab and the capillary break material to reduce water vapor transmission through the slab and the resultant moisture - related damage to interior furnishings. Two inches of sand may be placed over the membrane for protection during construction, to aid in curing of the concrete, and to help prevent cement paste bleeding down into the underlying capillary break. Site Drainage Groundwater was encountered in our borings at depths ranging from approximately sixteen (16) to nineteen and one -half (19 -1/2) feet. However, it has been our experience that groundwater levels change significantly due to changes in rainfall amounts, surface drainage or other factors. If seepage is encountered during site prepara- tion, the water should be drained away from the site by use of drainage ditches, perforated pipes or French drains. We suggest that .appropriate locations of subsurface drains, if needed, be established during grading operations by ECI's represen- tative, at which time the seepage areas, if present, may be more clearly defined. The site should be graded so that surface water is directed off the site and away from the tops of slopes. Water should not be allowed to stand in any area where buildings, slabs, or pavements are to be constructed. During construction, loose surfaces should be sealed at night by compacting the surface soils to reduce the infiltration of rain into the soils. Final site grades should allow for drainage away from the building foundations. We suggest that the ground be sloped three percent for a distance of at least ten feet away from the buildings except in areas that are to be paved. Pavement Areas All parking and roadway areas may be supported on native soils provided those soils can be compacted to 95 percent density (ASTM D- 1557 -78) and are stable at the time of construction. Structural fill and/or geofabrics may be needed to stabilize soft, wet or Earth Consultants, Inc. GT Development Corporation January 15, 1988 E -3693 Page 9 unstable areas. In most instances, twelve (12) inches of granular fill will stabilize the subgrade except for very soft areas where greater thicknesses may be required. The upper twelve (12) inches of pavement subgrade should be compacted to at least 95 percent of the maximum density. Below this level a compactive effort of 90 percent will be adequate. The pavement section for lightly - loaded traffic and parking areas should consist of two inches of Asphalt Concrete (AC) over four inches of Crushed Rock Base (CRB) or three inches of Asphalt Treated Base (ATB). Heavier loaded areas will require thicker sections. We will be pleased to assist you in developing appropriate pavement sections or specifications for heavy traffic zones, if needed. Site Preparation and General Earthwork The building and pavement areas should be stripped and cleared of all slabs, trees, existing utilities, surface vegetation, all organic matter and any other deleterious material. It is an- ticipated that a stripping depth of up to six inches will be required. Stripped materials should not be mixed with any materials to be used as structural fill. Structural fill is defined as any fill placed under buildings, roadways, slabs, pavements, or any other load bearing areas. Ideally, but particularly in wet weather, structural fill should consist of a free - draining, organic -free granular material with a maximum size of three inches and no more than five percent fines (silt and clay -sized particles passing the No. 200 mesh sieve). During dry weather, any compactible non - organic soil meeting the above maximum size criteria can be used as structural fill. Following the stripping operation, the ground surface where struc- tural fill, foundations, or slabs are to be placed should be. proofrolled. All proofrolling should be performed under the full - time observation of ECI's representative. Soil in loose or soft areas should be either recompacted or removed and replaced with structural fill to a depth that will provide a stable base beneath the general structural fill. Structural fill under floor slabs and footings should be placed in thin horizontal lifts of not more than ten inches loose thickness, and compacted to a minimum 95 percent of the maximum dry density as determined by ASTM Test Designation D- 1557 -78 (Modified Proctor). The fill materials should be placed at or'near.the optimum moisture content. Fill under pavements and walks should also be placed in thin horizontal lifts and compacted to 90 percent of maximum density except for the top twelve (12) inches which should be compacted to 95 percent of maximum density. Earth Consultants, Inc. GT Development Corporation January 15, 1988 E -3693 Page 10 On -site soils at the time of our exploration were near the optimum moisture content and may be used as structural fill provided the grading operations are conducted during dry weather. However, the on -site soils have a significant amount of fines. Thus, compaction and grading will be difficult if the soil moisture increases above the optimum moisture content. The moisture content can be reduced by aeration in dry weather, or by intermixing lime or cement powder to absorb excess moisture. FIELD EXPLORATION AND LABORATORY TESTING Our field exploration was performed on December 4, 1987. Subsurface conditions at the site were explored by drilling two borings to a maximum depth of thirty -nine (39) feet below the existing grade. The borings were drilled by Drilling Unlimited, using a truck - mounted drill rig. Continuous flight, hollow stem augers'4ere used to advance and support the boreholes during sampling. The locations of the borings were approximately determined by taping the distances to an assumed property corner. Elevations of borings were approximately determined by hand level methods. The locations and elevations of the borings should be considered accurate only to the degree implied by the method used. These approximate locations are shown on the Boring Location Plan, Plate 2. The field exploration was continuously monitored by an engineering geologist from our firm who classified the soils encountered and maintained a log of each boring, obtained representative samples, measured groundwater levels, and observed pertinent site features. All samples were visually classified in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System which is presented on Plate 3, Legend. Logs of the borings are presented on Plates 4 and 5. The final logs represent our interpretations of the field logs and the results of the laboratory examination and selective tests of field samples. The stratification lines on the logs represent the approximate boundary between soil types. In actuality, the transition may be gradual. In each boring, Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) were performed at selected intervals in general accordance with ASTM Test Designation D -1586. The split spoon samples were driven with a one hundred forty (140) pound hammer freely falling thirty (30) inches. Representative soil samples were placed in closed containers and returned to our laboratory for further examination and testing. Visual classifications were supplemented by index tests such as sieve analyses on representative samples. Moisture contents were Earth Consultants, Inc. GT Development Corporation January 15, 1988 E -3693 Page 11 performed on all samples. Results of moisture determinations, together with classifications, are shown on the boring logs included in this report. The results of two sieve analyses are illustrated on Plate 6, Grain Size Analyses. LIMITATIONS Our recommendations and conclusions are based on the site materials observed, selective laboratory testing, analyses, and our experience and engineering judgement. The conclusions and recommendations are professional opinions derived in a manner consistent with that level of care and skill ordinarily exercised by other members of the profession currently practicing under similar conditions in the area. No warranty is expressed or implied. The recommendations submitted in this report are based upon the data obtained from the borings. Soil and groundwater conditions between borings may vary from those encountered. The nature and extent of variations between borings may not become evident until construc- tion. If variations then appear, ECI should be requested to reeval- uate the recommendations of this report and to verify or modify them in writing prior to proceeding with the construction. Additional Services It is recommended that ECI be retained to perform a_ general review of the final design and specifications to verify that the earthwork and foundation recommendations have been properly interpreted and implemented in the design and in the construction specifications.. It is also recommended that ECI be retained to provide geotechnical services during construction. Because of the nature of the soil conditions, we do not accept responsibility for the performance of the foundation or earthwork unless we are retained to review the construction drawings and specifications, and to provide construc- tion observation and testing services. This is to observe com- pliance with the design concepts, specifications or recommendations and to allow design changes in the event subsurface conditions differ from those anticipated prior to the start of construction.

Applicants are required to submit a mailing matrix and one photocopied set of labels which show: 1. The name and address of all owners of property lying within 300 feet of the boundaries of the property for which a permit is sought; and 2. The address of all residents of property within 300 feet of the boundaries of property. Property owner names and addresses cart be obtained from the King County Department of Assessments located on the 7th floor of the King County Administration Building, Room 700, 500 Fourth Avenue, Seattle. To compile the information: 1. Obtain the assessor's map(s), which contains your property and all abutting property within 300 feet. (See diagram.) You may use the maps on file in the Assessor's Office or they can be purchased from the King County Department of Public Works Map Counter on the 9th floor of the Administration Building. It is suggested that assessor's maps be ordered several hours in advance of the time you would like to pick them up. 2 Then, obtain a computer batch order form from the Department of Assessments, list on the batch order form the property tax account numbers shown on the assessor's map(s) and submit the batch order form to the Department of Assessments together with the required fee for a printout of the information. Assistance with the tax account numbers may be obtained through the Assessor's Office or the City of Tukwila Department of Community Development (DCD). King County labels are not acceptable because they cannot be duplicated. Resident names and addresses are researched by the applicant. Kroll maps located in the DCD have buildings and street names and addresses. The information on the mailing matrix may refer to "Resident" or "Tenant ", with the proper mailing address, if the specific name is unknown. 12/14/90 .BOARD OF ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW DESIGN REVIEW APPL( .TION ( Page 2 CRITERIA The following criteria will be used by the BAR in its decision - making on your proposed project. Please carefully review the criteria, respond to each criterion (if appropriate), and describe how your plans and elevations meet the criteria. If the space provided for response is insufficient, attach additional response to this form. 1. RELATIONSHIP OF STRUCTURE TO SITE A. The site should be planned to accomplish a desirable transition with the streetscape and to provide for adequate landscaping, and pedestrian movement. B. Parking and service areas should be located, designed, and screened.to moderate the visual impact of large paved areas. C. The height and scale of each building should be considered in relation to it site. RESPONSE: The fact that the site is angular to Interurban Avenue and the building is set back over 150' from the front property line helps lessen any visual impacts and allows additional opportunity for interior landscaping among and around interior parking and loading dock area. The height of the building varies and the elevation plays . on mass /void with glass areas, recesses and jogs yet is tied together with reveals and color. 2. RELATIONSHIP OF STRUCTURE.AND SITE TO ADJOINING AREA A. Harmony in texture, lines, and masses is encouraged. B. Appropriate landscape transition to adjoining properties should be provided. C. Public buildings and structures should be consistent with the established neighborhood character. D. Compatibility of vehicular pedestrian circulation patterns and loading facilities in terms of safety, efficiency and convenience should be encouraged. E. Compatibility of on -site vehicular circulation with street circulation should be encouraged. RESPONSE: All vehicular access points are away from the intersection of Interurban Avenue and South 144th which is where the Metro bus stop is located. The building faces So. 144th St. and the main entry allows for 3 handicap parking areas to enter without crossing vehicular traffic and is located as far as possible from the loading and outdoor storage areas. .Landscaping or site obscuring fence surrounds the site. ,BOARD OF ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW . DESIGN REVIEW APPLI( TION Page 3 3., LANDSCAPE AND SITE TREATMENT A. Where existing topographic patterns contribute to beauty and utility of a development, they should be recognized and preserved and enhanced. B. Grades of walks, parking spaces, terraces, and other paved areas should promote safety and provide an inviting and stable appearance. C: Landscape treatment should enhance architectural features, strengthen vistas and important axis, and provide shade. D. In locations where plants will be susceptible to injury by pedestrian or motor traffic, mitigating steps should be taken. E. Where building sites limit planting, the placement �f trees or shrubs in paved areas is encour- aged. • F. Screening of service yards, and other places which tend to be unsightly,should be accom- plished by use of walls, fencing, planting or combinations of these. Screening should be effective in winter and summer. G. In areas where general planting will not prosper, other materials such as fences, walls, and pavings of wood, brick, stone, or gravel may be used. H. Exterior lighting, when used, should enhance the building design and the adjoining land- scape. Lighting standards and fixtures should be of a design and size compatible with the building and adjacent area. Lighting should be shielded, and restrained in design. Excessive brightness and brilliant colors should be avoided. RESPONSE: • The use of street trees and landscaping along Interurban Avenue Were ,used to s.creen.the parking area from the street. Shade trees throughout the parking area are for shade and and also to break up the parking area. Smaller scale planting is used in more people like spaces, for example entry, riverside and patio. Cleaning up the river bank to enhance its scenic value. Landscaping is used against the building facade to break up wall areas and soften surfaces: 4. BUILDING DESIGN A. Architectural style is not restricted, evaluation of a project should be based on quality of its design and relationship to surroundings. B. Buildings should be to appropriate scale and be in harmony with permanent neighboring de- velopments. 1 BOARD OF ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW • . ,DESIGN REVIEW APPLI( TION Page 4 C. Building components - such as windows, doors, eaves, and parapets - should have good pro- portions and relationship to one another. Building components and ancillary parts shall be consistent with anticipated life of the structure. D. Colors should be harmonious, with bright or brilliant colors used only for accent. E. Mechanical equipment or other utility hardware on roof, ground or buildings should be screened from view. F. Exterior lighting should be part of the architectural concept. Fixtures, standards and all ex- posed accessories should be harmonious with building design. G. Monotony of design in single or multiple buildings projects should be avoided. Variety of detail, form, and siting should be used to provide visual interest. RESPONSE: All building componenets are of industry standards and consistent with other similar projects in the area, painted, rusticated concrete, te,xtured dryvit and colored glass. Design quality is comparable with Fairway Center, the only recent project in this area. Neighboring projects have no.architectual relationship to each other or significant design feature worth repeating. 5. MISCELLANEOUS STRUCTURES AND STREET FURNITURE A. Miscellaneous structures and street furniture should be designed to be part of the architec- tural concept of design and landscape. Materials should be compatible with buildings, scale should be appropriate, colors should be in harmony with buildings and surroundings, and proportions should be to scale. B. Lighting in connection with miscellaneous structures and street furniture should meet the guidelines applicable to site, landscape and buildings. RESPONSE: New sidewalk along Interurban South and install new Metro bus stop to Metro standards. A lighted walk for Interurban Avenue is provided to the river. for public and private use. .

CITY OF TUKWILA 6200 Southcenter Blvd. Tukwila, Washington 98188 Re: GT DEVELOPMENT Dear Rick: MAR 1 3 1994 COM;VIUNi j Y DEVELOPMENT On April 29, I spoke with you about GT Development hopes to expand their operation in Tukwila at the existing location. GT is a local manufacturing company that makes value added parts for the transportation industry. They are currently located at South 144th Street in a building of their own and lease space in another building across the street. They currently employ 80 people, who mostly work in assembly operations. Their 5 year business plan requires expansion into a 60,000* s.f. facility that will employ up to 150 people in two shifts. This growth is based on their steady increase in production of their products. In order for them to continue their business in Tukwila they must consolidate their operation and be able to expand those operations. This expansion work must be substantially complete prior to November 1994. A concentrated and accelerated construction program can meet this schedule if a building permit is issued no later than July 16, 1994. According to my phone conversation with Jack Pace of your staff, if we filed a complete application for shoreline permit, B.A.R., etc. February 25, we would be able to receive approvals on May 26. Forty five days after that it would be possible for a building permit to be issued. In Spring 1993 we met with planning staff and reviewed a conceptual development plan for the GT property and the Interurban property they proposed to purchase. This plan was developed based on shoreline development set back and goals, the parking required by code and other City of Tukwila requirements, along with site constraints. The governing criteria in laying out this plan was the need to keep the existing facility operational with a minimum of disruption during the new construction. After our initial meeting we prepared several site studies. Based on these, we proposed a site scheme that best addressed all concerns. Like all projects, this scheme represents compromises but will work in the best interest of the client and the community. 130 lakeside • suite 250 • ssattls, washington 98122 • 202 / 325.2553 • fax: X206) 328.0554 lance mueller ale, cal • senior essoclates: robart olschewsky, ellesn furney latest robart hidden, michael galbralth, rlchsrd hsrnish, robart walls a washington corporstlon furnishing architectural services by and under the supervision of registered architects lance mueller & associates architects March 10, 1994 Mr. Rick Beeler Dir. of Dept. of Community Dev. CITY OF TUKWILA Page Two In June 1993 we formally filed this plan with the City and had a preapplication meeting with the City staff. At this meeting the staff presented us with development criteria and other code requirements. Subsequent to that meeting we have prepared a transportation, report, river bank stability study and recommendation, soils report, level one study and code review. All of this information has been prepared by consultants that the City is familiar with and based on methods the City has accepted in the past. The plans that we have currently prepared reflect the previous input from the City at the preapplication. The architectural quality of this project is comparable with the Fairway Center project several blocks to the north that the City previously approved. This was designed by our firm. On Friday, March 1, 1994, we filed with the City an application for shoreline permit, design review and substantial development with supplemental materials previously requested. These were materials the City asked for prior to application to ensure a expedient review. According to check lists furnished by the City we believe this application is complete. It has now been 12 days since then and we have not received any phone calls from the City indicating any additional materials are necessary. Based on this, we must assume the application is complete and is being processed. It is imperative to GT that they be assured by the City that they can meet the permit dead line. If the City cannot meet this permit date, GT may need to look outside the City for a new location. I have told them, based on the high level of cooperation and staff attention that the City gave Emerald Racing at the Segale Business Park site, that the City does have the ability to perform in behalf of the community's best interest in the needed time frame. In order for the building, planning, and engineering departments to be able to complete their plan reviews prior to July 16th permit issue, they will need to receive permit drawings many weeks prior to that date. Based on past projects, a building permit application needs to be made by May first in order to insure sufficient processing time. This means that our firm will need to start final construction drawings on April first. In order for that to happen we need to receive any additional input from the planning department prior to April first along with a: letter from 130 lakeside • suite 260 • :wattle, washington 89122 • 208 / 325.2553 • fax: (2003 328.0554 lance mueller ale, cal • senior lateen robart olsehawaky, elleen furney latest robart faddism, mlchael palbralth, richard hernlah, robart walla a washington corporation furnishing architectural services by and under the supervision of registered architects lance mueller & associates architects March 10, 1994 Mr. Rick Beeler Dir. of Dept. of Community Dev.
