PLANNING COMMISSION PAGE 2
MAY 16, 1991
With regard to the "Development Standards" section, the Planning Commission
recommended the following changes:
Page 21, "Maximum Density (units per acre)" section; have staff conduct research to
possibly change the RMH density either to a higher or lower density.
The Planning Commission public hearing was opened at 8:10 P.M.
MR. FLESHER MOVED TO EXCUSE MR. GOMEZ FROM THE MEETING. MR.
MAUNA SECONDED THE MOTION; MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.
Darren Wilson presented the staff report. He noted this was a continuance from the April
25, 1991 public hearing. The meeting was continued to answer remaining questions. At the
last meeting, the Commission only evaluated the project based on Conditional Use Permit
criteria, and this time they would be also evaluating the project for Design Review and
Conditional Use criteria. With regard to the question of the site's correct address, the
address is 12228 51st Pl. S. Secondly, with regard to the availability of water, the Public
Works Dept. has submitted a letter indicating that there is a water line and water is
available. Thirdly, with regard to the status of the property once the lease expires, Cellular
One will return the property to its present state once they vacate the property. Next, with
regard to the question of who will maintain the landscaping, Cellular One has submitted an
agreement between the owner of the property and Cellular One which indicates that Cellular
One will maintain their landscaping twice a month, and the owner will maintain the
remaining open area as needed. Finally, with regard to the question of placing a security
fence across the front of the property, the applicant has proposed to put up a chainlink
fence across the front of the property and the only people with access to a key for the lock
will be the owner and Cellular One.
Darren Wilson went on to say that he was recommending something other than a chainlink
fence for security. His recommendation would be a three foot barrier with landscaping both
in front and behind the barrier with large trees placed in front of the two barrier posts. Mr.
Wilson noted that the applicant was willing to construct the pole of metal if the Board
wished.
Mr. Malina stated that he would like to see, in writing, the owner's landscape maintenance
schedule.
Carol Rohde, Cellular One, 617 East Lake Ave., Seattle:
She stated that they would like to propose that the entrance to the site be slightly moved
to the south and landscaping placed across the entire front of the property so that
neighboring houses in the area would have a visual buffer. Ms. Rohde went on to say that
PLANNING COMMISSION PAGE 3
MAY 16, 1991
once they vacate the site, the fence, building and pole would be removed. (Ms. Rohde then
handed out another air - brushed photo of the site).
Mr. Hamilton asked if there would be a gate in front of the driveway.
Staff stated that there would be a locked chain across the driveway.
Carol Rohde stated that Cellular One would be willing to put up a steel pole versus a
wooden pole.
Mr. Flesher asked who would be paying the water bill for the irrigation.
Ms. Rohde said that Cellular One would be paying the water bill.
Mr. Hamilton asked if Cellular Once would allow the owner, Mr. Burke, to have access to
the water.
Ms. Rohde said that they would.
Mr. Haggerton asked if any citizens responded to the public notice, with the new address.
Darren Wilson stated that there was no response from citizens.
The public hearing was closed at 8:45 P.M.

VICINITY /SITE INFORMATION
4. Terrain: The site is flat.
BACKGROUND
FINDINGS
2. Existing Development: The site is vacant.
1. Project Description: To install a cell base site consisting of a 100 foot telephone
pole (tower) with 12 directional antennas, and 12 by 28 foot concrete shelter to
house electronic equipment and a 6 foot high chain link fence with perimeter
landscaping.
3. Surrounding Land Use: The site is located directly east of Burlington Northern
Railroad's right -of -way. Riverton Construction is located north of the site. Single
family residence are located north, south and west of the site.
The Interstate Mobile Phone Company is proposing to construct a cellular radio base
station (cell site). The height of the proposed structure is 100 feet. The structure would
be a treated wooden telephone pole with 12 directional antennas attached to the top of
the pole on an amps platform. The antennas would not exceed the top of the telephone
pole. A one story 12'x 28' electronic equipment vault would be constructed of concrete
with a washed aggregate finish. To provide security, the telephone pole and electronic
equipment vault will be enclosed with a 6' chainlink fence with 2' or 3' strand barbed
wire on top. The vault and pole are alarmed and monitored 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week, by an operations center.
STAFF REPORT PAGE 3
91 -2 -CUP
The proposed Allentown site would be the second telecommunication tower located
within the City's boundaries. The first site was approved in March of 1990, this site is
located off of Longacres Way.
The Planning Commission continued the public hearing on April 25, 1991 to obtain
additional information they had requested. That additional information is incorporated
in this revised staff report.
DECISION CRITERIA: CONDITIONAL USE
The Conditional Use criteria are shown below in bold.
18.64.050: General Review Criteria.
(1) The proposed use will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or
injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity of the proposed use or
in the district in which the subject property is situated;
This site lies on an existing 15 -foot high embankment with some existing vegetation,
which will help to minimize the visual impacts of the site. Landscaping will be added to
the perimeter of the site to help buffer and screen the electronic equipment vault and
the base of the telephone pole. The proposed structure will be a treated wooden
telephone pole. Wooden telephone poles used for telephone service presently exist in
the area (see pictorial). The cellular telephone pole will be largely indistinguishable from
the existing telephone poles.
Cellular radio power density levels are regulated by government as a potential
environmental concern. Radio frequency emissions from the Allentown "cell site" facility
will be at 869 to 880 megahertz and 18 gigahertz for the radio link transmissions will be
low power with less than 45 watts for cellular radios and 0.1 watts for the 18 gigahertz
radio link. As such, the radio frequency power density levels near the cellular telephone
pole (10 feet above ground below the telephone pole) will be extremely low several
magnitudes below existing maximum permissible human exposure standards.
The maximum cellular radio transmission radio frequency power density will be 1.3
microwatts per square centimeter at the telephone pole base while the maximum 18
gigahertz radio link radio frequency power density would be less than 0.0014
microwatts per square centimeter. By comparison the recommended maximum exposure
levels by the federal Communications Commission and (ANSI) American National
Standards Institute are 2,800 microwatts per square centimeter.
STAFF REPORT PAGE 4
91 -2 -CUP
King County, for instance, has proposed a much more conservative standard of 200
microwatts per square centimeter which still exceeds the highest level emitted by the
proposed Allentown cell site by a factor of 154. These very low power levels and ultra
high frequencies at which the cell site transmissions occur also eliminate any potential for
interference to other electronic devices such as radio, telephone, VCR's, telephone and
medical devices such as pacemakers.
(2) The proposed use shall meet or exceed the performance standards that are
required in the district it will occupy;
Under the M -2 (Heavy Industrial) the required landscaping is 15 feet in the front yard
only. The applicant has included 15 feet of landscaping in the front and 5 feet around
the rest of the development. The applicant has provided a maintenance agreement with
the property owner, which states that the property owner will maintain the lawn area
which is not leased by Cellular One. Cellular One will maintain the landscaping in their
leased area on a quarterly basis. The owner has also agreed to let Cellular One erect a
six foot chainlink fence across the front line of the property.
The front yard setback for this zone is 25 feet. The applicant has a distance of 70 feet in
the front yard. The applicant has provided one parking stall for the service vehicle inside
the cell base station. In the event that the property is vacated, both the electronic
equipment, vault, and the telephone pole will be removed and the foundation for both
structures would be removed to a depth of two feet below grade.
With regard to water availability on the proposed property, the Public Works
Department has considered those connections to be vested and adequate for domestic
residential use. In turn, Cellular One will provide an underground sprinkler system to
their landscaping plan. In the event that the water system is inadequate, Cellular One
will provide vegetation that will grow with natural weather conditions.
(3) The proposed development shall be compatible generally with the surrounding
land uses in terms of traffic and pedestrian circulation, building and site design;
The proposed cell site is an unmanned facility. The major traffic will occur during
construction. The construction period should be 4- 5 weeks. The hours of construction
will range from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00p.m. Monday through Friday. Once the construction has
been completed, the site will be visited semi - monthly for maintenance by one individual.
There are no pedestrian facilities along 51st Place South. The surrounding land uses are
residential to the north, south and west, while on the east there is commercial uses. The
STAFF REPORT PAGE 5
91 -2 -CUP
treated wooden pole will blend in with the existing treated wooden poles for utility uses
adjacent to the development.
(4) The proposed use shall be in keeping with the goals and policies of the
Comprehensive Land Use Policy Plan;
There are no specific policies of the Tukwila Comprehensive Plan which address this type
of utility. Under the Comprehensive Policy Plan; Transportation/Utilities, Goal 3 Page
19, states " Assure a public service level consistent with the needs and desires of the
community."
(5) All measures have been taken to minimize the possible adverse impacts which the
proposed use may have on the area in which it is located;
The cellular telephone pole with be constructed of treated wood and will blend with the
existing wooden telephone poles in the area. The monopole and base station will be
located toward the rear of the parcel to locate it as far as possible from adjacent
residential uses. Behind the site (to the east) is an existing 15 -foot high embankment
with some existing vegetation which will help to minimize the visual impacts of the
wooden telephone pole.
In addition, landscaping will be placed around the perimeter of the site to mitigate the
visual impacts of the base of the telephone pole and the vault in the future. The small
(12'x28') one -story concrete electronic equipment vault includes an attractive exposed
aggregated finished.
CONCLUSIONS
1. Criteria 1: Due to the location and type of proposed use, this will not be
materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or
improvements in the vicinity.
2. Criteria 2: The applicant has exceeded the requirements for the landscaping,
setbacks and the parking per City's standards. The applicant and owner have
provided a maintenance agreement for the landscaping. Public Works has
indicated that water is available at the proposed site. The applicant has stated tht
if the lease is terminated, the site will return to its present state.
STAFF REPORT
91 -2 -CUP
3. Criteria 3: Since the proposed facility is a unmanned, it should be compatible
with the surrounding land uses in terms of traffic and pedestrian circulation.
However, there is concern as to the quality of the appearance of the site. There
are opportunities to improve the cover around the site and add trees along the
street which would improve the appearance of the site. Some type of barrier may
be needed to minimize people from driving on to the lawn area.
4. Criteria 4: Since there are no applicable policies that deal with the specific
request, the request for a conditional use permit would not adversely affect the
implementation of the Comprehensive Land Use Policy Plan.
5. Criteria 5: The applicant has addressed all measures in minimizing any adverse
impacts for this area. The applicant has proposed a treated wooden telephone
pole to match the surrounding poles.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The Planning Division recommends approval with the following conditions:
1) The applicant shall provide a finished lawn around the entire site with a
sprinkler system;
PAGE 6
2) The applicant shall provide a three foot barrier along the front of the property
which shall be set back 15 feet from the property line;
3) The applicant shall provide two 2" caliper, large stature trees in front of the
barrier to minimize any visual impacts. The applicant has stated that if the lease
is terminated, the site will return to its present state.
DESIGN CRITERIA - DESIGN REVIEW
18.60.050: General Review Criteria.
Please refer back to Criteria #3 of the Conditional Use.
STAFF REPORT PAGE 7
91 -2 -CUP
Since the proposed site is located within 300 feet of a residential zone, Board of
Architectural Review approval is necessary.
(1) Relationship of Structure to Site.
a. The site should be planned to accomplish a desirable transition with
streetscape and to provide for adequate landscaping and pedestrian
movements.
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
the site.
The site will be located at the rear center of the parcel to locate it as far as possible
from adjacent residential uses. The cellular telephone pole will be constructed of treated
wood and will be virtually indistinguishable from existing telephone poles in the area. An
existing 15' high embankment with some vegetation is located directly behind to the east
of the site which will help to minimize the visual impacts of the wooden telephone pole.
The landscaping will be provided around the perimeter of the pole and vault to further
mitigate any visual impacts of the vault or the base of the pole. The exterior finish of
the concrete electronic equipment vault will be aggregated rock.
(2) Relationship of Structure and Site to Adjoining Area.
a. Harmony of 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 patters 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.
STAFF REPORT PAGE 8
91 -2 -CUP
(3)
Landscaping and Site Treatment
a. Where existing topographic patterns contribute to beauty and utility of a
development, they should be recognized, 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 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 combination.
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 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.
Please refer back to Criteria #2 of the Conditional Use.
(4) Building Design
a. Architectural style is not restricted, evaluation of a project should be based
on quality of its design and relationship to its surroundings.
b. buildings should be to appropriate scale and 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 building projects should be
avoided. Variety of detail, form and sitting should be used to provide
visual interest.

Re: Interstate Mobilephone, d /b /a Cellular One Proposed
Project Located at 12228 51st Place S, Allentown, WA.
This letter is to clarify several questions which arose during the
April 25, 1991 hearing on Cellular One's proposed project at the
above referenced address.
One of those questions asked was what would become of the
electronic equipment vault and the cellular telephone pole if
Cellular One were to vacate the property. In that event the property
is vacated, both the electonic equipment vault and the telephone pole
would be removed, and the foundation for both structures would be
removed to a depth of 2' below grade.
Another concern was the maintenance of the lawn of the property.
Mr. Robert M. Burke, the owner of the above referenced property, has
agreed to maintain the lawn on a regular basis as is needed.
There was also a question as to whether or not water is available to
the site. If water is available to the site, Cellular One will provide
an underground sprinkler system to their landscaping plan to

maintain adequate moisture to the proposed plant selections. If, .
however, water is not available to the site, vegetation will be
selected that will grow adequately with natural weather conditions
and will not require a sprinkler system. Routine maintenance to the
landscaped portion of the project site will be performed quarterly.
Construction of this site is extremely important to the integrity of
the system. As quickly as all approvals and permits can be obtained,
construction will begin, and will take approximately 4 to 6 weeks.

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.

or motor traffic, 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 un-
sightly, 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 fixtures should be of
a design and size compatible with the building and adjacent area.

Attachment to Tukwila Board of Architectural Review Application for
Proposed Cellular One Cell Site (1 -5-60. 51st Place S, Allentown
January 1, 1991 12224
5. The site will be located at the rear center of the parcel to
locate it as far as possible from adjacent residential uses.
The cellular telephone pole will be constructed of treated
wood and will be virtually indistinguishable from existing
telephone poles in the area. An existing 15' high embankment
with some vegetation is located directly behind (to the east)
of the site which will help to minimize the visual impacts of
the wooden telephone pole. Landscaping will be provided
around the perimeter of the pole and vault to further mitigate
any visual impacts of the vault or the base of the pole. The
exterior finish of the concrete electronic equipment vault
will be aggregate rock.
The proposed site will require only one parking space and will
have no more visual impact than the existing driveways of the
adjacent residential uses. The electronic equipment vault
will be one story tall and will be consistent with the height
of the surrounding single family homes in the area. The
wooden telephone pole will be 100' tall and will be nearly
indistinguishable with the existing wooden telephone poles in
the area.
The proposed structures have been selected to be as compatible
with surrounding properties as possible. The wooden telephone
pole is compatible with existing wooden telephone poles in the
area. The concrete vault will have a aggregate rock finish
which is attractive and visually unobtrusive. Landscaping is
proposed to surround the site, and will help to mitigate the
visual impacts of the base of the pole and the electronic
equipment vault. Access to the site will be a graveled
driveway which will be harmonious with existing driveways of
adjacent residential uses. The site is an unmanned site and
will not generate significant amounts of traffic to compete
with the other uses in the area, nor generate noise or odors
which would impact any of the adjoining properties.
7. A 15' high embankment is located to the east (directly behind)
the site. Some existing vegetation is located on the
embankment and will help minimize the visual impacts of the
pole. Additionally a large tree is located on the street side
of the site and will remain to help shield the proposed site.
Landscaping will be added around the perimeter of the site to
screen the base of the pole and the vault.
An FAA form has been filed and is pending. Unless required by
a state or federal agency the site will not be lighted.

8. The proposed electronic equipment vault has an attractive rock
aggregate finish (see attached photo). Air conditioning units
are located at either end of the vault and are painted a
complementary color to the rock aggregate finish. The
building has a steel door (for security) painted to match the
air conditioning units.
9. There will be no miscellaneous structures or street furniture
associated with the proposed site.
