Ms. Bradshaw asked the appearance of <br />fairness questions of all Commissioners. No one declared a conflict or ex -parte contact <br />and no objections were heard from the audience. <br />Moira Bradshaw, Senior Planner with the Department of Community Development, <br />gave the staff presentation. She described the location of the permanent station to be <br />constructed between Longacres Way and Strander Bl /SW 27th St extension. Access to the <br />site will be from the NW and SE corners. As an essential public facility the station meets <br />the requirements to apply for a master sign program. The only buildings on site are the <br />bus shelters, the canopies over the platforms, the canopy over the stairs and the Amtrak <br />service building. <br />Sound Transit is requesting installation of two grand monument signs under the Master <br />Sign Program provisions near the site entrance at Longacres Way. One other <br />freestanding sign is proposed that is not regulated because it is not visible off -site. There <br />are over a hundred directional signs that do not require BAR approval. <br />NG Page 1 of 5 06/20/2013 <br />Z: \DCD \PC minutes - -5.21 & 5.23 \ 4-25-13PC_Hearing_Minutes.docx <br />
