FINDINGS
1
VICINITY /SITE INFORMATION
1. Project Description: The Tukwila Fire Department is proposing an addition
and remodeling of Station No. 51. This project will increase space for Fire
Department personnel living and day -room quarters for the facility and expand
administrative office space to accommodate Fire Department administrative
personnel and fire marshal office and staff support space.
2. Surrounding Land Use: The existing land use in the north and south of the
Fire Station consist of warehouse and office space..
3. Terrain: The proposed project site is generally flat with less than 1/2% slope on
Andover park East which matches the surrounding flat topography.
4. Vegetation: A number of existing trees will be transplanted to new locations,
additional trees will be planted. Additional turf will be planted. Additional
landscaping shrubs at the building entrance will be provided.
DECISION CRITERIA
In reviewing the design request, the BAR must use the following Zoning Code
guidelines in making their decision. The Design Review guidelines are printed in
bold, following by pertinent findings of facts.
18.60.050: GENERAL REVIEW CRITERIA,
(1) Relationship of Structure to Site.
89 -2 -DR: Fire Station No. 51
Page 2
As shown by the site plan, with the addition and remodeling, the building
setbacks, streetscape and pedestrian patterns remain unchanged. The landscape
plan provides an increase of vegetation on the north side of the building. The
height of the Fire Station will not exceed two stories. The highest point of
elevation is 44 feet which refers to the tower. The remaining portions of the
building are 30 feet.
Currently, the site has 30 parking spaces which exceeds the parking
requirements. With the addition and remodeling, two additional parking
spaces will be provided.

to the BAR
(2) Relationship of Structure and Site to Adjoining Area.
(3) Landscaping and Site Treatment
Page 3
In addressing this guideline, the applicant has stated:
"The proposed additions are 2,423 gross square feet as a first floor wing at
the north side of the building at the extreme setback from Andover Park
East. The Addition will be designed to match the form and profile and the
height of the existing 1 -story north wing of the building. The 2nd floor
Addition will be at the back of the building matching in height and
existing 2 -story central element of the building.The exterior will match the
current form and profile of the building. As a part of the project, the new
and existing exterior surface of the building will be repainted for the a
consistent and new appearance. As mention earlier the parking
supercedes the Zoning requirements. However, two additional parking
spaces will be provided. The egress /ingress access will remain the same."
The abutting structures range from one to two stories. Upon completion of the
addition and remodeling, the entire building will be painted beige.
The applicant has noted that:
"The new first floor north wing addition will create an enlarged area for
exterior landscape space to be used by the building occupants. This area
will provide an improved landscape buffer between the fire station and
the adjacent office /warehouse structures.Adjacent space and landscaping
at the south of the building and the relationship with the adjacent
structures will be unchanged. Access from Andover Park East will be
unchanged. Entrance landscaping and appearance will be improved in the
relationship to public parking and access from Andover Park East."
The "Conceptual Landscape Planting Plan "(Attachment 1) provides a general
indication of the type of plant material to be used.
The applicant has stated:
"The first floor addition,- along with the repainting of the exterior of the
building in total, will provide a more distinctive and easily identifiable
entrance for the public to the facility.,The building will be improved in its
exterior appearance by a uniform light neutral color eliminating the
current two -tone painted concrete color scheme of the building. The
building identification graphics will be removed from the building and
improved in aesthetic appearance. The landscaping and exterior lighting
to emphasize the front entrance of the building and transition from public
parking will be improved from thirty parking spaces to thirty -two parking
space which supercedes the parking requirements. The landscaping
STAFF REPORT

89 -2 -DR: Fire Station No. 51
Page 4
adjacent to the north wing will. provide an increase landscape buffer to
obscure the paved equipment maneuvering area at the east and behind
the building as viewed from Andover Park East."
(4) Building Design
In developing the design for this project, the applicant has used a model for the
proposed addition and remodeling.
The applicant has stated;
"The first and 2nd floor addition to the building will be completed with
exterior wall heights matching the existing boiling height massing and
with windows and doors treatment profiles matching the existing
building. The existing exposed aggregate surfaces with extreme variation
and mottling to their appearance. Along with the color painted surface
accent on the building will be changed by a uniform light neutral color
exterior painting of the building surfaces, for a more monolithic and clean
appearance to the building. The building entrance will be emphasized by
the use of glass entrance vestibule and exterior lighting and landscaping
bringing focus to the entrance."
(5) Miscellaneous Structures and Street Furniture
No miscellaneous structures or street furniture are proposed as part of this
project.
CONCLUSIONS
1. The applicant has done several design changes to improve the appearance of
the fire station. The appearance of the building will be improved by:
a. Structural offsets.
b. Glass atrium which connects the two structures.
c. Better defining the public entrance into the building.
d. Repainting the entire building.
2. The landscaping will be rearranged and increased on the north side of the
complex.
3. The vehicular and pedestrian circulation patterns will remain unchanged.

The enclosed narrative information and drawings reflect the
Preliminary Design Report for the Station No. 51 Remodel
project. As a part of preparing this document, we have met with
Chief Tom Keefe and his staff to review their specific
requirements and review in detail the existing conditions of the
current facility. We further have reviewed the available
construction documents of the original construction phase for
the building.
This document includes the identification of our charge as
design consultants for the City of Tukwila, a review of the
existing conditions of the Station No. 51 facility, an overview
of design alternatives developed in the design process, and a
recommended remodel and addition design along with attendant
evaluation and cost data for the project. Drawings of the
proposed scheme and a proposed Project Schedule are also
included for your review and review by other members of City
staff and Council.
Edberg /Christiansen Architects has enjoyed establishing a
working relationship with you and Chief Keefe and his staff in
the initial phase of the remodel and addition project. We are
hopeful the design recommendation contained herein is responsive
to both depicting and meeting the requirements to upgrade the
facility to a more efficient and serviceable facility for their

INTRODUCTION
Scope of Work
The purpose of this report is to document the proposed scope of
Fire Station No. 51 remodeling and additions to provide improved
and expanded space to accommodate operations for station
personnel and the Fire Prevention Bureau which is accommodated
within the facility. The report represents the Preliminary
Design Phase intended to be the basis for establishing the
specific project scope and the subsequent phases of detailed
design and preparation of construction documents for the
construction of the facility improvements.
Edberg /Christiansen Architects was retained by the City of
Tukwila to carry out the Preliminary Design and the final PS &E
for the Tukwila Fire Station No. 51 remodel with authorization
to proceed with work on 4 November 1988. As a part of the
investigation and Preliminary Design effort, led by Gordon
Edberg of Edberg /Christiansen Architects, engineering sub -
consultants were employed including James Harris of Robert
Fossatti Associates - Structural Engineers; Dan Chase of
Sparling & Associates - Electrical Engineers; Lee Fleming of
Notkin Engineering - Mechanical Engineers; and Ray Wetherholt
of Wetherholt & Associates - Roofing Consultants, to investigate
and make recommendations with regard to the existing facility.
Existing drawings of the building construction, dated July 1973,
were utilized to review the existing conditions for purposes of
developing design alternatives and for recommendations toward
appropriate building upgrades and improvements which should be
completed as a part of the project.
Regular meetings were conducted with Chief Thomas Keefe and
Assistant Chief Michael Alderson, and Assistant Chief /Fire
Marshal Nick Olivas. These meetings were the basis for
establishing a detailed understanding of the current and
projected space and functional needs for the facility and the
specific facility upgrade and addition requirements to meet
those needs. Phil Fraser, Senior Engineer with the Public Works
Department, attended review meetings to provide input and
ascertain progress of the work. The representatives of the
-4-
engineering firms independently toured the facility and met with
facility personnel in the interest of developing more detailed
insight regarding the particular disciplines and the facility's
systems in preparation for their recommendations. These
investigations included examinations of detailed conditions
within the building interior, mechanical and electrical systems,
structural system, and building roofs.
The Preliminary Design phase of the project is scheduled to be
completed within a 45 -day time period from initiation of the
work, therefore projecting completion during the week of 19
December. The Preliminary Phase of the project with its design
report is intended to depict the existing conditions of the
facility and recommended solutions for providing remodeling and
additional space to meet the current and projected operations
requirements. The report is intended to be the basis for review
and approval of the project scope for the future phases of
detailed design and construction.
EXISTING BUILDING CONDITIONS
Existing Building Description
The facility is located on a 300 ft. x 297 ft. generally square
site of 89,100 sq. ft., or 2.04 acres in size.
The site is located at 444 Andover Park East.
The building facility is generally located in the center of the
site providing for parking spaces on both sides of the facility
and a large, paved, maneuvering area at the back side, or east
side, of the facility.
The facility is arranged so that there is an administrative
offices wing and a kitchen and training wing flanking a central
4 -bay wide apparatus bay with sleeping and toilet room and
dayroom facilities for the station personnel at a second floor
over the apparatus bays. This second floor level is
approximately one -half the total area of the apparatus bays.
Fifteen stalls of parking in each, in separate parking lots,
accessible off of Andover Park East provide for visitor parking
and administrative personnel parking at the administrative wing
side and employee parking and visitor parking utilizing the
training facility at the training wing side. This parking lot
also provides access to the maneuvering area at the rear of the
facility and the means for apparatus to circulate on the site
and enter the apparatus bay, accomplishing a drive -thru bay
capability.
The gross building area is 13,108 SF.
The building construction is comprised mainly of concrete slab
on compacted fill with perimeter wall footings and interior
spread footings. The foundation system supports a perimeter
wall system comprised of precast reinforced concrete wall panels
and structural floor and roof framing systems comprised of steel
columns and steel main beam members supporting 5/8" plywood deck
over wood joists. The building's north wing, which accommodates
the administrative offices, is approximately 2,400 gross sq. ft.
of area. The building's south wing, which is the setting for
-6-
. ifPn. . .,a... •.r r��.umkw..
storage and training, is 1,860 gross sq. ft. The apparatus bay
area is approximately 5,600 gross sq. ft. incorporating four
apparatus bays, three of which are continuous with overhead door
access at both the west (front) side of the building, and the
east (back) side of the building. There is a 145 sq. ft. hose
tower located at the southeast corner of the apparatus bay.
Within the apparatus bays, a separately partitioned Aid Car
stall currently exists.
The second floor'of the facility, accommodating an activity
room, dormitory, storage rooms and toilet facilities, and the
two main access stairs and fire pole, includes 3,390 gross sq.
ft. area. The floor area accommodates the western, or front
half, of the area over the apparatus bays. The configuration
of the building results in the creation of five separate roof
areas.
Design alternatives developed as a part of the study effort, and
discussed later in this report, suggest both additions to the
first floor wings . of the building, minor partition relocation
and remodeling within the building first floor spaces, and an
addition expanding the second floor area over the east half of
the apparatus bays.
Structural Systems
A general review of the plans and "walk -thru" inspection showed
some inconsistencies where the present day code has been revised
since the building was erected. Even though a total upgrade may
not be required by the Building Department, two items should be
rectified in the remodel.
1. The first code change is the result of several building
failures during seismic events of buildings similar to
the Fire Station. At present, there is no direct
positive tie between the roof and floor sheathing and the
concrete walls. This can be rectified by adding tension
ties bolted to the walls and nailed to the existing roof
and floor diaphragms. Per U.B.C. (1985) Section 2310.
2. The second code change involves increasing the seismic
resistance 50% greater than normal for essential
facilities such as fire stations and communication
centers. It appears that with or without the increased
seismic requirements, the existing concrete walls will
-7-
be adequate to resist the lateral forces, however, the
existing plywood roof and floor diaphragms will require
blocking at some panel edges to increase the strength of
the diaphragm sufficiently to resist required loads.
U.B.C. (1985) Section 2312(k) and Table No. 23 -K.
The first floor addition near the administrative offices,
potential training storage and toilet room remodels, all appear
to be feasible with minimal structural alterations.
The second floor addition is feasible. The following are
observations and required structural modifications:
1. Additional floor joists will need to be added to
accommodate the additional loading requirements of the
new floor, or as an option, a new floor joist system
could be utilized if the existing joists are reused at
the new roof.
Floor Live Load 50 psf + 20 psf Partition Load.
Roof Deck Live Load 50 psf.
2. The existing W16x31 beam between grids A and C along
grids 3, 4, and 5 will need to be strengthened with
coverplates, or replaced. Some field welding may be
required at the connections to accommodate the additional
loading.
3. The existing 6 ", diameter pipe columns located at Grids
C3, 4 and C5 and their footings are adequate to support
the additional loading requirements assuming a soil
bearing capacity of 3000 PSF as shown on the original
drawings.
Soil investigation information utilized as a part of the
original facility design has not been located. The soil bearing
capacities and foundation design, as indicated on the drawings
and constructed, are the basis for the recommendations within
the report. As a part of proceeding with detailed design,
additional soils investigation should be conducted to determine
actual soil conditions and load bearing :capacities for any
proposed additions to the building.

HVAC Systems
The HVAC, plumbing and fire protection systems for the building
will require revisions and extensions with the proposed
additions and remodels within the building. The original
building design incorporated electric resistance heat and
ventilation only for the building spaces. A previous upgrade
incorporated the installation of HVAC system heat pumps with
ducted service to the south wing training and kitchen areas and
the north wing administrative office areas and the second floor
areas. The electric resistance heating has been disconnected.
New space created by the building addition and remodels will be
accommodated by the addition and /or relocation of heat pumps and
new duct systems. The current heat pump system serving the
south training and kitchen areas is inadequate to accommodate
the loads generated with the south exposure and the maximum
occupancy which can be accommodated within the spaces. Regular
over - heating of this space to uncomfortable levels occurs,
particularly the summer months of the year. The heat pump
system serving the north administrative wing is a single -zone
system with single thermostatic control. This system is
inadequate to provide consistent and controlled conditions
within the variety of spaces. Major fluctuations from warm to
cool conditions occur from the public entrance to the Fire
Prevention Bureau office end of this wing. Proposed additions
to this will require additional heat pump capacity provided by
new systems.
Plumbing
Plumbing systems within the building are generally adequate,
however, the remodeling of the facility requires the upgrading
of existing toilet facilities to accommodate handicapped. The
handicapped accessibility upgrade of the toilet facilities in
meeting code requirements will necessitate a total re-
construction of the toilet facilities due to clearance
requirements.
Fire Protection
The fire protection system for the building is a fire sprinkler
system monitored by ADT to give automatic notification upon
water flow. This system should be extended to any additional
areas added to the building and . to any areas remodelled
within the building. All new spaces and mechanical systems will
comply with Washington State Energy Codes.

. construction.
Emergency standby power is obtained by a 60 KW, 480Y/277
Katolight diesel generator set with automatic transfer switch.
_. New emergency lighting and exit signs will be added as required
by current electrical code and where desired for lighting during
power outage conditions.
-10-
The building does not contain a fire alarm system. However, the
sprinkler system is monitored by ADT to give automatic
notification upon water flow.
The condition of underground and in -slab raceways cannot be
determined. Some buildings of this age have begun to experience
corrosion failure of underground raceways.
Exterior lighting will be modified to accommodate the changes
to the building entrance and site conditions surrounding any
additions to the building.
Roof
The building roof areas have experienced extensive leakage
problems over the approximate 15 years of service. A roofing
repair project was completed a number of years ago which has
minimized, in some areas, roof leakage problems, however,
leakage problems still exist. A review of the conditions of the
existing roof membrane was conducted on December 15 which
included a visual inspection of all of the roof levels and a
test cut /sample taken on the lower roof over the apparatus bay
on the east side of the building. The roofing plies of the test
sample were then submitted to Northwest Testing Laboratories to
determine if any asbestos was contained in the plies that make
up part of the roof membrane.
The roof structure itself appears to be plywood placed upon roof
trusses overlaid by a nailed basesheet, 1/2 inch wood fiberboard
mopped to the basesheet, 3/4 inch fiberglass insulation set in
hot asphalt, and a three or four ply built -up hot asphalt roof
with organic plysheets covered with embedded gravel. The
original roof was then covered with another hot asphalt built -
up roof consisting of three plies of fiberglass plysheet which
was in turn overlaid by one ply of fiberglass and a maintenance
coating. Perimeter edges have been coated with emulsion into
which a fiberglass webbing has been pressed in place and coated
again with emulsion. The emulsion and webbing extend as a base
flashing from the roof membrane surface to the top of the
parapet and across the top of the concrete parapet wall.
Roof drainage appears to be adequate, although not steep, on all
of the roofs except the hose tower which presently holds at
least 1 inch of water before roof drainage.
The satellite dish on the lower roof, south side, will require
new mounting brackets in order to be properly flashed with the
new roof membrane. It is . presently mounted on curbs bolted
directly through the membrane and into the roof deck.
Metal counterflashing details are lacking at parapet walls and
at HVAC unit curbs.
Because of the need for connection upgrades to improve
structural conditions between the roof plane and the exterior
building walls, a substantial portion of the perimeter of the
roof must be opened to facilitate connections work. Along with
the general deficiencies within the roof and this required work,
a new roof system appears to be the appropriate improvement to
be made as a part of the project.
FUNCTIONAL SPACE NEEDS and DESIGN ALTERNATIVES
As a part of the identified original project scope provided with
the Consultant Agreement, various potential additions and areas
of remodeling were identified. These included an anticipated
addition to accommodate increased administrative office area,
internal remodeling of the administrative wing to adjust
entrance location and provide storage space, changes within the
apparatus bay to provide for additional storage space, and
removal of an enclosed Aid Car bay, potential additions to
increase training room capacity and storage, potential second
floor additions to provide increased area to accommodate
improved day room, kitchen, dining areas, along with exercise
space, storage space and improved toilet and shower facilities.
Detailed discussions with Fire Department personnel defined more
specifically the functional and space needs as follows:
Administration Wing
Provide increased area to accommodate space requirements for the
Fire Prevention Bureau. The spaces should include a private
office for the Fire Marshal, a private office for the Battalion
Commander, a small conference room used for plan review and
meetings with the public and staff meetings, space for four open
work stations, a lockable storage room for plans and evidence,
a layout area for plan review, a lockable storage room to
accommodate a minimum of 14 four - drawer legal files for
submittal and document storage, and a Fire Prevention Bureau
secretary work station.
Additional requirements identified for the administrative wing
include the provision of a larger office for the administrative
assistant to the Fire Chief. This space must accommodate file
cabinet storage and word processing equipment in addition to the
work station.
Provide a conference room to accommodate 18 to 20 with flexible
table arrangement capabilities, storage space, and small counter
area. The current conditions of the facility include no
-13-
t_
conference space, requiring the Chief's office to serve as
conference room.
Provide space for a serviceable copier work station and general
storage for office supplies.
Provide a staff break area for both the Fire Department
administration and Fire Prevention Bureau personnel.
Provide an improved means of public entrance and control for the
building. The current conditions within the building require
the public to move through the administration wing to access
Fire Prevention Bureau personnel.
At the exterior of the building, east end behind the
administrative wing, provide identified parking stalls within
the large paved maneuvering area for convenient access to the
building.
Provide a roof structure covering parking stalls at the building
to provide protection for Fire Department vehicles.
Improvements within the apparatus bay include the need to remove
existing partitioning which separate the existing aid car bay
to facilitate a more open and useable area. Also, additional
storage space envisioned to be an enclosed two -level storage
room within the high bay areas adjacent to the existing storage
and electrical room. Relocate hose storage racks and other '
items within the general area of the new storage room. Modify
existing door hardware providing access at the south and east
of the apparatus bay to ensure automatic lock operation to
improve building security.
The south wing of the building includes the storage room and
electrical equipment space, also used as a small work bench and
repair shop area, a small kitchen area in a separate room, and
a single training room accommodating approximately 25 -28 people
with a small storage closet for AV equipment. Specific
requirements identified the need to increase the capacity of the
training room to accommodate 40 to 45 people. The increased
size will accommodate both Fire and Police personnel training
settings. Provide additional storage space to accommodate AV
equipment and other items utilized in training. Provide a
flexible seating arrangement to allow variation in the
instructional settings within the space. Correct an inadequate
-14-
ventilating and air conditioning system currently unable to
adequately cool the space.
At the second floor, the dorm space accommodating 8 to 10
sleeping, along with a storage room, men's toilet room and
shower room, a janitor's closet, and a combined dayroom- exercise
area, currently is provided for in the space occupying the west
half of the apparatus bay structure. Specific needs identified
include the provision for an improved exercise area separate
from other spaces, a kitchen area accommodating cooking
facilities and individual food and personal storage for staff,
the adjacent dining spaces for station personnel (currently
separate from the dorm area at the second floor), an improved
dayroom area providing for passive activities (separate from
exercise and dining activity). Increased men's showers capacity
to total 3 showers within the existing men's toilet room, the
addition of a women's toilet and shower room currently not
provided for, a separate storage room for Fire Department
storage separate from storage related to the apparatus bay and
the Fire Prevention Bureau, a separate sleeping room for a
Battalion Commander who would respond to calls separate from the
station personnel.
In accommodating the above more specifically defined
requirements to improve the functional use and spaces within the
facility, a number of design alternatives were developed. The
following schemes and brief description identify the thought
process that evolved from discussions and preliminary planning,
and the basis for the eventual selection of a recommended scheme
for improvements to the facility more specifically identified
in the following section of this report. The following schemes
A, B, C, and D, were specifically discussed in the meetings with
Fire Department personnel:
Scheme 'A', identified on the enclosed drawings, envisioned on
the first floor an addition to the building in three locations.
These additions include a 450 gross sq. ft. extension of the
administration wing to the west to accommodate a new conference
room and new storage space, an 1,872 gross sq. ft. addition to
the east end of the administra ion wing to accommodate new
office space and secretarial space for the Fire Prevention
Bureau, along with storage room and new public entrance and
waiting area for the building. Internal to the administration
wing, is the modification to accommodate toilet rooms for
handicapped access, a lunch -break area, and reorganization of
-15-
the administrative offices. The third extension is an expansion
of the training room at the south wing to the west of 775 gross
sq. ft. area. This addition suggests a divisible large training
room along with elimination of the kitchen which would be
accommodated at the second floor. Within the apparatus bay, the
elimination of partitions enclosing the existing aid car bay is
indicated along with a two -level storage room providing for
approximately 260 sq. ft. per level of storage. Expansion at
the second floor of approximately 1,300 gross sq. ft. to
accommodate new dining, kitchen, storage areas along with
improved exercise areas and shower facilities generated a total
gross area increase of approximately 4,400 gross sq. ft. area.
Scheme 'B' represents a variation accommodating the required
functional relationships and space needs similar to Scheme 'A'
with an attempt at a reduction of the required new building area
to be constructed. Scheme 'B' envisions three areas of addition
at the ground floor similar to Scheme 'A' with the reduction in
area to the addition at the east end of the administration wing.
The Fire Prevention Bureau area is reduced by means of
eliminating an expansion office space depicted in Scheme 'A' and
eliminating the lockable file cabinet storage area providing for
files open and accessible to the secretary work station. The
Fire Prevention Bureau lockable storage room is smaller than in
Scheme 'A'. The additions to the west and front ends of the
administration wing depicts simply a different configuration for
accommodating a conference room and storage area along with
adjustments to the administrative offices. The revised public
entrance is minimal in size. The addition to the south wing to
enlarge the training facility is similar to Scheme 'A',
depicting a different training arrangement for seating requiring
a modification to the storage room in the space. Apparatus bay
modifications are similar to Scheme 'A' with a similar area of
expansion at the second floor. The overall expansion of new
building area approximates 4,200 gross sq. ft.
Scheme 'C' represents a further attempt to reduce the overall
increase in building area by reducing the number of locations
for additions. Scheme 'C' proposes the addition of space at the
ground floor in one location at the east end of the
administration wing. This addition includes new space to meet
the requirements of the Fire Prevention Bureau, an adequate new
public entrance, and reading /reception area, plus the addition
of a large conference room envisioned to be at the front of the
-16-
building in Schemes 'A' and 'B'. Modifications to the
administrative office areas and the inclusion of a new
lounge /break area, copy area, and handicapped accessible toilets
are a part of remodeling within the administration wing.
Revisions within the apparatus bay are the same as defined in
Schemes 'A' and 'B'. Remodeling within the south wing to
accommodate an increased training room capacity is proposed as
a part of interior remodeling only. No addition is proposed for
the south wing, however, the elimination of a separate kitchen
room and arrangements for training room seating will accommodate
42 in a lecture setting. With the removal of the kitchen and
dining area to a part of the second floor dorm and dayroom
complex, this training room will meet the requirements for
increased capacity. Additional storage space is incorporated
within the room to supplement the existing AV storage room.
With a 1,300 gross sq. ft. second floor addition, as previously
envisioned in Schemes 'A' and 'B', the overall gross building
area increase to the facility would total 3,765 gross sq. ft.
of area.
Second floor addition and remodeling, as depicted on the
enclosed drawings, explored schemes which proposed a small 670
sq. ft. addition to accommodate a dining and small capacity
kitchen /cooking area, along with the rearrangement of the
existing dayroom /exercise room into a dayroom area, an enlarged
addition of a new increased kitchen size and dining area with
a more active space for use as a part of the dayroom. Both
approaches envision the opportunity to utilize remaining roof
area at the second floor for an outdoor deck. Adding an
additional shower to the men's toilet /shower room, along with
a second entrance from an exercise room converted from the
existing storage room, is suggested remodeling within the
existing area. The revision of the existing janitor's closet
to a women's toilet room and shower is explored in this Scheme.
The third scheme for the second floor addition envisions a
reduction of the area allocated to kitchen and dining within the
rectangular 1,300 sq. ft. addition to accommodate a storage room
and additional sleeping room for Battalion Commander. Also, the
women's toilet room /shower is proposed as a new space remodeled
from an existing storage room to provide a more adequate
facility. The existing janitor's closet remains.
-17-
.�, �....,.� ......� .........
Scheme 'D' for the proposed additions and remodelings at both
the first and second floors is the recommended Scheme which is
discussed in more detail in the next section of the report.

RECOMMENDED REMODEL and ADDITION
As a part of the development of design alternatives, the
following Scheme resulted in a solution which is considered to
best meet the expanded needs of the Fire Department and Fire
Prevention Bureau, along with accomplishing necessary
improvements to the facility.
As a part of the building evaluation and review, and the
development of the design solution, the additions and facility
improvements involved were determined to fall into two general
categories. The first category relates to work which is
required in improving the facility regardless of specific
operational and functional deficiencies currently being
experienced by station personnel. These improvements are a
matter of code improvements or improvements to correct
deficiencies in the building along with changes which result
because of functional and space improvements to meet the
expanded needs. The improvements required in this category
include:
The demolition and reconstruction of men's and women's toilet
rooms within the administration wing of the building to
provide facilities for handicapped access.
The upgrade of the building structure to meet current seismic
codes by requiring the improved structural connections between
the existing wood roof framework and the concrete building
walls.
The structural improvements to increase load carrying capacity
for the second floor addition. During the original building
design and construction period, the future expandability of
the second floor of the building was eliminated, presumably
as a cost saving measure at that time, to a lighter roof
framework in lieu of a framework adequate to provide floor
load capabilities.
Roof replacement for the facility. This recommendation is the
result of the above mentioned structural upgrade improvements
at the roof diaphragm and the general condition of the 15 -year
old roof.
-19-
Improvements to existing heating and ventilation systems
within the existing administration wing and training wing
areas.
With the planned first floor addition at the administration
wing, the necessary rerouting of an existing storm sewer line
which runs immediately adjacent to the existing building
requiring a relocation in the event of any addition to the
north of the existing facility.
The second general area of improvements relate to the
construction of additional space to accommodate the expanded
operational space needs and functional relationships, along with
remodeling within the existing facility to improve space
arrangements and conditions. Upgrades to existing finishes and
exterior site improvements relating to additions fall within
this area as well.
The enclosed drawings in this section represent the result of
the development of scheme alternatives to a final recommended
scheme. This scheme, previously indicated as Scheme 'D' in the
previous section, is depicted as the schematic design and the
more formalized drawings for the first floor plan, second floor
plan, site plan, and exterior elevation drawings. The scheme
recommends addition of new building area in the total of 3,783
gross sq. ft. comprised of one addition at the ground floor at
the east end of the administration wing of 2,423 sq. ft., and
a second floor addition of 1,360 gross sq. ft. adjacent to the
east wall of the existing second floor and east part of the
apparatus bay.
The first floor addition includes a Fire Prevention Bureau wing
as a separate new addition to the building, connected to the
existing building by a new entrance vestibule /waiting area with
reception counter and internal circulation corridor between what
becomes defined as a separate Fire Prevention Bureau area from
Fire Department administration. A related addition to the east
end of the administration wing provides an enlarged conference
room. The centrally located conference room, between the
administration areas and the Fire Prevention Bureau, provides
the best location for convenient use by both personnel. This
location also is closest to the entrance waiting area plus
minimizing the penetration of the public into the administration
areas of the building. The Fire Prevention Bureau area
accommodates space for four open work stations, a layout area,
a large evidence storage room, two offices and a small
-20-
conference room, administrative secretary area with a lockable
legal file storage room for the department record storage. The
location of the administrative secretary serves as a backup to
the main building public entry and reception. Remodeling within
the existing administrative office area includes the increase
in office space for the administrative assistant while the
reduction of the Chief's office now serving strictly as office
space due to the inclusion of the new conference room. A space
for the copy machine and related storage, a staff break area
using an existing sink and counter, and reconstruction of the
toilet rooms for handicapped accessibility is a part of this
area's remodeling. The existing entrance and reception area
will be converted to create a storage room and emergency means
of exit from that area of the building. The existing reception
and radio room will retain the radio console equipment operated
remotely from the new reception station, along with providing
space for a Lieutenant's office and direct access to the
apparatus bay. A small office space will be separately
partitioned to provide some storage and space for the Explorers.
Existing sink counter and storage space along the administrative
office wing will be modified to provide additional storage
space. A new storage space for office supplies and department
material will be created as a part of the entrance reception and
copy area.
As previously discussed, a two -level storage space will be
constructed within the apparatus bay and the existing partition
will be removed to open the aid car bay to the apparatus bay
space.
The south wing will be remodeled to create the enlarged training
room by elimination of the kitchen /dining area. The existing
sink and counter arrangement in that space will be modified to
provide for a coffee counter as a part of the training room.
Additional storage closet will be included within the resulting
enlarged training room to augment the existing AV storage space.
Improvements to the HVAC systems for this space will be a part
of the work.
The second floor addition requires structural improvements to
the existing roof structure over the east half of the apparatus
bay. These structural improvements can be accomplished by
removal of the existing suspended ceiling in the apparatus bay
and the inclusion of additional joist members within existing
framing systems. Stiffening of existing beams is also required
as a part of this improvement. Existing columns and foundations
-21-
C
are adequate to accommodate the second floor addition; no
additional column or structural members within the apparatus
bays will be required, although structural improvements to the
framework will require some scheduled interruption of use of the
space.
The second floor plan as depicted includes a new kitchen and
personal food storage locker area along with dining areas to
accommodate the 8 to 10 people on duty along with access to a
defined outdoor roof deck area. The additional area includes
a large storage room which replaces the existing storage area
with increased capacity and a new sleeping room separate from
the dorm area. Other improvements include the previously
discussed addition of a third shower stall for the men's toilet
room and access directly from the exercise area. A new women's
toilet /shower room is also a part of the remodeling at this
level. The existing dorm area is not envisioned to be
remodeled. Existing dayroom /exercise room would be remodeled
to provide a better dayroom area with a new skylight and the
removal of the existing sink counter within the space.
Exterior improvements include the addition of a light frame
structure over parking stalls at the east, back side, of the
administration wing and new addition. As a part of the design
for the new addition and new entrance to the facility, the
intent is to make the building appear as totally complete as a
new facility, not as an existing building with a new addition.
The new addition at the second floor and the new wing and
entrance at the first floor are planned to be constructed with
frame construction and painted stucco exteriors simulating the
shape and profile of the existing concrete building. To
accomplish the overall new building effect and provide for
improved appearance, the existing building would be repainted
to create a new appearance for the total building. The new
public entrance to the building is emphasized by a skylight roof
form and naturally lit area serving as a transparent linkage
between the existing building and the new addition. The plan
of the addition results in minimal modifications to the existing
concrete exterior walls of the building, generally only in the
entrance lobby and reception area. Site improvements include
new entrance walk paving and a reduction of the visitor parking
lot area from the 15 current stalls to a total of 9 stalls
including the handicapped parking stall. The area immediately
north of the new wing addition would be landscaped, converted
from existing parking and landscaped strip areas of the current
lot. The storm drain line located adjacent to this building wing
-22-
will be rerouted around the new office addition. A new
irrigation system will be installed for the existing landscaped
and lawn areas of the facility to replace the original system
no longer functional or serviceable.
As a part of the remodel project we recommend a new roof be
installed after removal of the existing membrane and insulation.
A new roof membrane, using an insulation underlayment such as
Isocyanurate, expanded polystyrene or fiberglass board, would
be installed and overlaid with 3/4 inch perlite: a new built -up
roof membrane consisting of a 4 -ply with a reflected coating or
granulated cap sheet. Consideration should also be given to an
SBS modified bitumin membrane consisting of a lightweight
modified base ply, a heavy weight modified base ply, and a heavy
weight modified cap sheet. A 10 to 15 year "system warranty"
which includes labor and materials and repairs, and in some
cases, replacement of the roof membrane should be a part of the
specified system.
The existing insulated roof membrane assembly is due for
replacement. Remodeling of the building will provide the
opportunity to reroof this building and correct the deficiencies
which presently exist in the membrane and flashing details.
As a part of the addition and remodeling, new heat pumps to
provide adequate HVAC services to new and remodeled spaces would
be installed on the roof over the south wing to serve the
training area, on the roof at the second floor addition to serve
this expanded space, at the roof of both the new addition and
the existing administrative wing to serve the expanded space and
remodeled space inadequately served now.
The following estimated project cost is developed for the
recommended design with an indication of the approximate costs
related to the two general categories of improvements for the
project. We have included also, additional costs envisioned for
the project relating to additional site investigation costs,
fees, furnishings, and inspections, as a part of completing the
project.

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 cri-
terion (if appropriate), and describe how your plans and elevations meet the
criteria. If the space provided for response is insufficient, use extra space
on last page or use blank paper to complete response and attach to this form.
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 proposed Additions are 2,423 gross SF as a 1st Floor wing at the
north side of the building at the extreme setback from Andover Park East. The
Addition will be designed to match the form and profile and height of the existing
1 -story north wing of the building. The 2nd Floor Addition will be at the back of
the building matching in height the existing 2 -story central element of the building.
The exterior will match the current form and profile of the building. As a part of
tho project, the new anti existing exterior surface of the building will be repainted
for a consistent and new appearance. Parking capacity and access remain unchanged.
6. RELATIONSHIP OF STRUCTURE AND SITE TO ADJOI 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 estab-
lished 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: The new 1st Floor north wing addition will create an enlarged area for
exterior landscape space to be used by the building occupants. This area will
provide an improved landscape buffer between the Fire Station and the adjacent
office /warehouse structure. Adjacent space and landscaping at the south of the
building and the relationship with the adjacent structures will be unchanged. Acces
from Andover Park East will be unchanged. Entrance landscaping and appearance will
be improved in relationship to public parking and access from Andover Park East.

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 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.
Lighting should be shielded, and restrained in design. Excessive
brightness and brilliant colors should be avoided.
RESPONSE: The 1st Floor addition, along with the repainting of the exterior of
the building in total, will provide a more distinctive and easily identifiable
entrance for the public to the facility. The building will be improved in its
exterior appearance by a uniform light neutral color eliminating the current
two -tone painted concrete color scheme of the building. Building identification
graphics will be removed from the building and improved in aesthetic appearance.
Landscaping and exterior lighting to emphasize the front entrance of the building
and transition from public parking will be improved. Landscaping adjacent to the
north wing will provide an increased landscape buffer to obscure the paved equip-
ment maneuvering area at the east and behind the building as viewed from Andover
Park East.

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 per-
manent 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. Fix-
tures, 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.
RESPONSE: The 1st Floor addition and 2nd Floor additions to the building will be
completed with exterior wall heights matching the existing building height massing
and with window and door treatment and profiles matching the existing building.
The existing exposed aggregate surfaces with extreme variation and mottling to
their appearance, along with the bright color painted surface accent on the
building, will be changed by a uniform light neutral color exterior painting
of the building surfaces for a more monolithic and clean appearance to the
building. The building entrance will be emphasized by the use of a glass
entrance vestibule and exterior lighting and landscaping bringing focus to
the entrance.

vehicular traffic are expected to remain unchanged. The project is basically
intended to provide more adequate space for the continued operations at the
site by the Fire Department in carrying on its responsibilities as a Fire
Station, as a site for providing.training space for the Fire Department,
Police Department, and combined Police /Fire training activities within the
building, and for the public access point to the Fire Marshal and Fire
Inspection activities provided as services by the City of Tukwila.
Architecturally, the building will be improved by a repainting and consistent
light colored monolithic treatment to create a new building appearance.
Graphics will be removed from the building to improve the building identifica-
tion appearance. An improved building entrance and increased area for land-
scaping at the building entrance and adjacent to the building for employee
use will be provided as a part of the project. without change to the parking
