Dear Mr. Hosseini;
The property at 15200 So. 151st Street is zoned R -4. 8 -unit
apartment buildings would be permitted in this zone, provided the
specific building design meets all the requirements for height,
yard, area, parking, recreation space,landscaping etc. as
provided for in the Tukwila Municipal Code /Zoning Code. Since
your property lies in a sensitive area, you will also be
responsible for meeting any additional buffer or setback
requirements designated in the Critical Area Sensitive Areas Ordinance.
sure that anything you submit meets these
discussions, you may reapply for a waiver
You must, however, provide plans in
address the Code's stipulations for each
Please note that Tukwila's planning fee structure will be revised
effective August 1, 1990 and there may be a charge associated
with applying for a waiver.
For your convenience, I have copied pertinent portions of the
Zoning Code and have included a Moratorium waiver procedure.

TO: City Council S
FROM: Rick Beeler, Director DCD� /
DATE: July 19, 1990
SUBJECT: A & H petition for waiver from
Ordinance No.s 1544 and 1550.
On July 16, 1990 action on this petition was postponed
until July 23, 1990 so that staff could review the
petitioner's building plans submitted at the public
hearing. Those plans consist of a site plan and building
construction details for an 8 -plex building prepared in
1984.
The waiver petition is for two 8 -plex buildings, not the
single 8 -plex in the submitted plans. A definitive site
plan and site development details are not in the plans.
The impact of the development on the steep slope portion
of the property and compliance with City development
regulations can not be determined in the plans submitted.
Based upon the above the staff continues to recommend that
the waiver petition be denied because of the speculative
nature and unclear development plans of the petition.

MOVED BY MORIWAKI, SECONDED BY DUFFLE, TO
FORWARD THIS ISSUE TO THE SPECIAL MEETING ON
JULY 23. MOTION CARRIED.
Mayor VanDusen opened the hearing at 7:33 p.m. Rick Beeler,
Director of DCD, explained that Sharley Development is requesting
the waiver to be able to proceed with and complete the Shoreline
Review, SEPA, Design Review and Building Permit process to
develop an 111 unit motel on property located at the southwest
corner of 1-405 and the West Valley Highway, 15635 West Valley
Highway. The property adjacent to Wetland #17 and would require
a 50 foot buffer; otherwise, the property is essentially flat.
Larry Sharley, Sharley Development Co., expressed hardship because
he is paying $8,000 per month on undeveloped land. He is willing to
file an agreement to conform to the adopted Sensitive Areas
Ordinance and to process the application at his own risk and expense.
Councilman Duffle commented that he is not in favor of granting the
waiver because the final SAO may change the requirements in the
area.
MOVED BY RANTS, SECONDED BY ROBERTSON, THAT THE
WAIVER BE GRANTED TO ALLOW THE APPLICANT TO
CONTINUE WITH ALL PERMIT PROCESSES UP TO THE
POINT OF CONSTRUCTION. MOTION CARRIED WITH
DUFFLE VOTING NO.
The hearing was declared open at 7:55 p.m. Rick Beeler explained
that the applicant's property is located at 15200 S. 151st Street. He
needs a waiver in order to proceed with and complete the EIS and
design review for two 8 unit apartment buildings. There are steep
slopes on the western portion of the property. Staff is recommending
the request be denied based upon the speculative nature of the
proposal. No definite development plan is proposed.
Amir Husseini, A & H Corporation, informed the Council that the
purchase price of the property included the design of the 8 unit
buildings which were drawn up in 1985.
It was determined that site plans were available but had not been
given to the Planning Department for review. At Councilman
Robertson's suggestion, the applicant agreed to return to the Planning
Department and amend his waiver to ii't..10P t..hn site plans. Mr
Beeler noted he could review the plans prior to next week's meeting.
MOVED BY ROBERTSON, SECONDED BY MORIWAKI, TO
POSTPONE A DECISION ON THIS MATTER AND CONTINUE
THE PUBLIC HEARING AT THE SPECIAL MEETING ON
JULY 23. MOTION CARRIED.
The hearing was opened at 8:05 p.m. According to Rick Beeler, the
applicant is seeking a waiver in order to expand the existing data
center with computer room and mechanical room expansions.
Security Pacific Automation Company has a facility in operation at this
time at 12400 East Marginal Way So.

mid -year budget change and be forwarded to the 1991 budget.

Tukwila We, 98188
Dear Councilmembers,
W respectfully request an exemption to the new construction
moratorium (ordinance No. 1544, 1550 and 1566) in the city of Tukwila
for the purpose cunstruction 2 -8 unite apartment buildinga.
The property in question is at 15200 So. 151 at St. The west
portion of the property has grades in excess of 13%, but leas than
•
40%. Our intention is to build on the eastern portion and leave the
steeper grade basically intact.
The lot contains no wetland area, watercourses, slide areas, or
grades in excess of 40x. It is in the midst of well - established area
of single- family, multi family and office buildings. Therefore does
not encroch upon any wildlife habitat.
Therefore ws respectfully request a hearing with the Tukwila City
Council to revi.w this petition at the earliest possible meeting.
Sincerely yours,
A-frofc

CITY OF TUKW ILA
CITY CI,ERK
EFFECT OF THE MORATORIUM:
DECISION CRITERIA:
1. Intent of the moratorium;
STAFF REPORT
TO THE
CITY COUNCIL
APPENDIX 2
PETITIONER: A & H Corporation
PROPERTY LOCATION: 15200 S. 151st Street, Tukwila
PROPOSAL DESCRIPTION: The petitioner seeks to develop two 8-
unit apartment buildings.
The moratorium Ordinance No. 1544 precludes filing of new
development- related applications in sensitive areas, including
multi - family units, without a waiver. The property in question
contains steep slopes on the western portion. Without a waiver,
the applicant is prevented from developing any part of the
property.
The applicant desires a waiver from the moratorium in order to
ascertain the feasibility of developing the property prior to
proceeding with its purchase. No specific application is intended
at this time. No definite development plan is proposed. The
waiver request is speculative.
IMPACT OF THE SENSITIVE AREAS ORDINANCE:
The property is located in an area with slopes between 15% and
40 %. The applicant plans to develop the more level eastern
portion of the lot and leave untouched the steeper western
portion.
Any development would be need to meet the requirements of the
Sensitive Areas Ordinance once it is finalized and adopted.
Ordinance No. 1550 states that the City Council shall use the
following criteria to review waiver requests:
2. Best interests of the City weighed against, the interests of
the individual;
3. Circumstances and hardship caused by the moratorium;
4. Damage that could result from strict adherence to the
moratorium.
Because of the lack of a specific development plan and the clear .
speculative intent of the waiver, the request should be denied.
The City Council's intent of the waiver process is for applicants
with specific development proposals experiencing hardship created
by the moratorium. The speculative nature of the request is not .
in the best interests of the City.
ATTACHMENTS:
1. Vicinity and zoning map;
2. Proposed site plan with existing property contours.
