Vau!usca, Mayo December 13, 1989 Planning Department City of Tukwila 6200 Southcenter Blvd. Tukwila, Washington 98188 Attention: Darren Wilson mi ed, an °enn-sy, BSS Plant Engineer Boeing Support Services P.O. Box 3707 Seattle, WA 98124 -2207 Subject: Plan for Restriping Parking Lot, Plaza One The attached drawing shows the latest proposed layout for parking at the property Boeing Support Services is leasing at 14675 Interurban Avenue. This layout shows changes in sizes and quantities of parking stalls based on the comments and corrections covered in your review. This plan provides the maximum number of parking stalls that we can arrange on the available property and existing paved area being leased to us in full, starting early next year. As discussed earlier with you and others in the planning department, our intention is to arrange the full size stalls in the number required by building code along the outer perimeter of the parking area, and then increase the numbers of compact stalls elsewhere to a maximum. This will increase the lot capacity and accommodate today's ratio of compact to full -size vehicles which we observe to be 50% or more compact size. The 8' -6" width for full size stalls will be retained as advised by your department since we have 25 foot aisles. All other dimensions and amenities stay the same as existing when the parking reverts to 100% use by Boeing as tenant. We expect this new arrangement will alleviate many of the problems we have today, especially the frequent blocking of fire lanes by some tenants. RECEIVED CITY OF TUKWILA DEC 1 3 1989 PERMIT CENTER tiM 8 1989 November 7 189 To Whom It May Concern: P , Dean Hennesy, P.E. BSS Plant Engineer REVISED PARKING LOT LAYOUT FOR PLAZA I (7 -30) 14675 Interurban Ave. South, Tukwila The existing parking on this property has 226 stalls including two (2) handicapped, with the majority configured for full -size vehicles (8' -6" width). At present there are several tenants besides BE &C Engineers, with some stalls marked for designated tenants. Plans are underway for Boeing (BSS) to take over a lease for full custody of the building next year. At the same time, we have been experiencing parking problems at times, with the congestion leading to parking along curbs in fire lanes, double parking, etc. In negotiations with the owner, we have been unable to secure extra parking on adjacent properties, or to expand the existing paved lot. However, we have taken several informal surveys of Boeing employee vehicles, and find that compacts and sub- compacts outnumber the full -size by ratio of 2 or 3 to 1. We have also checked the layout against other Boeing parking areas where we can now accommodate compact stalls at 7' -6" widths for up to 70% or 80% of total without problems. In rearranging the lot to gain at least 20 more spaces with no special designations except for handicapped, and with all parking limited to BE &C Engineers; we feel that we can eliminate the potential for parking in fire lanes and other violations of the Boeing Fire Marshall standards. Confining the "full- size" stalls to the exterior of the lot should encourage the drivers of compact vehicles to utilize smaller stalls adjacent to the building exclusively. The tentative plan we have sketched has 61 to 76 full -size stalls 8' -6" to 9' -0" wide (counting some existing), two handicapped stalls, and 174 reconfigured full - length spaces in widths from 7' -7" to 8' -2 ", for a total of 252. These 26 additional stalls should provide enough legitimate parking spaces for our maximum building use, including the frequent large conference meetings. , 0-04rC • • tzir ' LANDSr;s■Fe..
