We discussed his situation: MEMORANDUM To: File No. 89 -15 -DR (Mikami /Schofield Design Review) From: Vernon Umetsu, Associate Planner Department of Community Development Date: 3/11/91 RE: Modify B.A.R. Design Decision. I met with Mr. Robert Schofield (RS) today from 3:45 to 4:30 p.m. and discussed the following issues: 1. RS requests to be allowed to paint the accent bands on the (front) Building A north and west elevations, and the (rear) Building B north elevation; instead of providing prefinished metal accent bands as shown on the BAR approved drawings. 2. RS also wondered if there were any way at all that he could go before the BAR to modify the design approval without paying the $900 fee. 3. RS recognized that the fees were effective on 5/1/90, well before his 10/30/90 request to appear before the BAR for a design modification (see Item 2). I informed him that the need for the BAR fee was an administrative decision and that he could appeal it; but that it would only cover the fee requirement and not affect the design decision. • • a. his high cost estimates for accent strip installation, b. his assertion that the drawings are unclear because the drawings read "to match exist'g (sic)" when the previously existing Phase I building accent strips were not placed in areas without exterior lights, as are the areas now in dispute, c. he knows the design best since he designed the building with Lance Mueller only doing the drawing and the proposed accent strips would violate the intended design theme, and d. he is willing to paint the building accent strips as a compromise. 5. I explained that Rick Beeler, Jack Pace and I discussed this extensively months ago and determined that staff did not have the authority to make the a major design change from metal to paint, and that. BAR approval would be required. RS had been worked within this informal decision process and agreed to its terms. 6. I did not see anything in the present that was not considered in the initial decision. RS was told that his next option would be to formally request an administrative design modification as shown on building elevations and detailing the justification for such action to be submitted. Rick Beeler would make a formal determination and RS could then appeal this decision. 7. I confirmed that RS always had the right to meet with Rick Beeler or Jack Pace to discuss the situation. 8. RS is meeting with another metal fabricator . this week and will call me by Friday as to his actions. . S. TAP?

AIi, or Dear Mr. Schofield, Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue. Yesterday you, Steve Bacon and Vernon Umetsu of my staff met in the field and resolved the outstanding issues. The following is my understanding of this resolution. 1. The 4 foot cut was a result of a minor slope failure brought on by recent rains. You have raised the surrounding grade, bermed this cut with clean sand, and emplaced straw to prevent further erosion and slope failure. 2. Existing steep slopes in the truck loading area are the result of stockpiling excavated materials from the drainage lines. Regrading this slope from the current edge of vegetation in a maximum 2:1 slope will not cut into the native hillside and allow construction of the proposed truck loading area without need for a rockery or retaining wall. No further cuts into the existing vegetation line will be made. These findings were substantiated by level and tape data generated during your field meeting with Steve Bacon and Vernon Umetsu. Based on the above, the project is being constructed in compliance with approved plans and SAO Waiver conditions. I therefore withdraw my earlier letter of May 22, 1990 with the understanding that: i. no cuts into the native hillside shall be permitted and ii. adding that no further cuts into the existing vegetation shall be allowed.

Dear Mr. Schofield, Findings Required Actions Prn).VIi a (206) •l3 .1,4011 Gar). L. t ,nDrrsrn, dlurur A field investigation of your site on May 21, 1990 has raised significant concerns in the City. My findings and required actions based on this investigation are listed below: A. A cut in the native hillside on the southern half of the project approximately 4 feet in height. This is in violation of the SAO Waiver condition not to cut into native slopes; a condition which you have previously agreed to. B. Further cuts in this south slope area may be necessary to provide the five foot wide sidewalk and footings for a structural retaining wall under the existing development design. Such cuts would further violate the SAO Waiver condition and require City Council approval. C. The truck loading area was located by S. Bacon of R.W. Huff. Grading for this area would result in a retaining wall approximately 8 feet in height. This wall is not in any approved plans and would be a very serious violation of the SAO Waiver condition. D. All remaining native slopes are over 15% and cannot be cut into without City Council approval. E. Mr. Bacon, Field Superintendent for R.W. Huff was instructed by Vernon Umetsu on May 21st, to make no further cuts into the hillside. 1. Contractors are hereby notified that no further cuts into the hillside shall be permitted without specific written City approval of plans which have been updated from the 4/26/90 approved set. 2. The City requires that the following information be submitted by June 1, 1990 at 8:30 A.M.: a. A licensed survey shall be submitted showing (i) the current western edge of Building B with spot elevations of the western corners and center point, and (ii) existing hillside topography. b. Should grading for the truck loading areas result in cuts into the slope (Finding C), the loading area shall be relocated. A possible relocation site is on the north side of Building B. A site plan with relocated truck loading zone shall be submitted if necessary. c. Stamped civil engineering plans shall be submitted showing proposed building, sidewalk, retaining walls, and extent of any over excavation into the hillside. d. The Washington State Dept. of Transportation shall approve any modifications which affect hillside drainage and stability prior to submitting engineering plans to the City per Item 2c. Failure to submit all required information by Friday, June 1, 1990 at 8:30 A.M. will result in the immediate issuance of a stop work order until all required items have been completed.

Implement landscape modifications to increase the number of trees and complete landscape design at the southern driveway as discussed in the staff report. 5. Maximum light standard height is 20 feet. -4- , 89- 15 -DR: MIKAMI DESIGN VIEW - Request for approval to co n struct 28,000 square feet of retail space in two, 20 -foot tall buildings with 82 parking spaces. Vernon Umetsu, Associate Planner, reviewed the proposal recommending approval of the request subject to conditions that the building be redesigned to eliminate the blind curve per SEPA requirements. The design change must be submitted to the Community Development Director for approval. Some landscaping modifications must be incorporated and light standards shall have a maximum height of 20' and glare diagrams shall be provided to demonstrate no off -site light spill -over. Mr. Knudson asked if this is a replica of the first application. Vernon Umetsu answered the first application was L- shaped and this is a redesign. There will be sidewalks. The SAO moratorium was triggered because there is a slope of over 15 %. The owner had a permit to fill prior to the moratorium. City Council has concurred it was reasonable for the applicant to develop as long as they did not develop any 15% slopes in the areas. All development would be feathered in. There will be some retaining walls. There will be no cuts into the original hillside. Mr. Hamilton asked if the slope is stable. Vernon Umetsu answered that geotechnical reports submitted stated the slope would be enhanced by the site preparation. The development cannot cut into the slope at all. Mr. Kirsop stated it seems instead of cutting off the corner of the building a traffic signal would be better. Vernon Umetsu said it will be up to the developer to submit a plan that will eliminate the blind curve. We will be dealing with a SEPA requirement. It will be subject to BAR review. The Fire Department is also concerned about the blind corner and they require a solution. Bob Schofield, developer of the property, stated the parking is important. If land- scaping is done in front of the trash dumpster you would not be able to see it because of the parked cars. With respect to the corner setbacks -- on the second building the jog is not practical. He said he would like to consider not having the jog modulation and omit the landscaping on the parking lot. The blind corner can be resolved with the engineering department. There will be a memorial placed in front of the building to the Mikami family, original owners of the property. Chairman Haggerton asked about the hanging baskets. They had impressed him in the original design. Mr. Schofield replied the hanging baskets were in the original plan. When staff wanted another plan it did not include the hanging baskets. Vernon Umetsu said the project was approved with the hanging baskets if they could get them in the plan. When the project is approved they go out before final approval and occupancy and check to be sure all requirements have been met. Mr. Schofield said the building would be concrete, steel and wood. Chairman Haggerton closed the Public Hearing at 9:55 p.m. Mr. Flesher said with respect to staggering the building he agreed with the applicant that another approach would be better. Vernon Umetsu said the form and detail would be visible from the road. It helps make a link between Buildings A and B. The Director felt strongly about this. C -5- Mr. Cagle stated he would like to support the project as recommended by staff. He said he could not see the setback on the west building will give much to appearance. Mr. Hamilton said it is expensive to build. The back building is tilt -up concrete rectangle and he does not like that type of building. He felt the back building could be handled differently. Mr. Schofield said there is no concrete in front. The windows were put in at the request of staff. Chairman Haggerton reopened the Public Hearing to admit testimony of the architect. Lance Mueller, architect, stated the back is the only part that is concrete. There is a canopy in front that will cast shadows. Chairman Haggerton closed the Public Hearing at 10:14 P.M. MR.KNUDSON MOVED AND MR. FLESHER SECONDED A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE DESIGN WITH THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF BUILDING B SQUARED TO ALTERNATE 2 AND SUBJECT TO SUITABLE TRAFFIC CONTROL TO MINIMIZE THE IMPACT OF THE BLIND CORNER AT THE REAR OF BUILDING A, A STOP SIGN OR STRIPING CAN SOLVE PROBLEM AND DELETE ITEM 2(a) FROM STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS IN THAT AT THAT POINT LANDSCAPING IN FRONT OF DUMPSTER ENCLOSURE IS NOT WORTH DELETION OF AN EMPLOYEE PARKING SPACE STALL; STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS 2(b) AND 2(c) AND 3 WOULD BE RETAINED. MOTION CARRIED, WITH MR. HAMILTON VOTING NO. Chairman Haggerton called for a 5- minute recess. 10:20 - 10:26 p.m. 90 -4 -DR: CITY OF TUKWILA PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT - Request for design review approval to improve and widen roadway /bridge at the intersection of West Valley Highway (SR181) and South 180th Street. Jack Pace, Senior Planner, presented the staff report, stating the Planning Division recommends approval of the SR181 /South 180th Street road and bridge widening project, with one condition: (1) Detailed landscape plan to be submitted prior to finalized construction plans for proposed project for approval by Planning Division. Mr.Hamilton asked about the timing of the project. Ron Cameron, City Engineer, stated it would be early 1991. Chairman Haggerton closed the Public Hearing at 10:32 p.m. MR. KNUDSON MOVED AND MR. HAMILILTON SECONDED AT MOTION TO APPROVE THE SR181 /SOUTH 180th STREET ROAD AND BRIDGE WIDENING PROJECT WITH THE CONDITION RECOMMENDED BY STAFF THAT DETAILED LANDSCAPE PLAN BE SUBMITTED PRIOR TO FINALIZED CONSTRUCTION PLANS FOR PROPOSED PROJECT FOR APPROVAL BY PLANNING DIVISION. MOTION UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED. DIRECTOR'S REPORT Jack Pace, Senior Planner, stated his report had already been covered in the discussion regarding the proposed City Council Ordinance recreating the Planning Commission. Mr. Gomez stated the Planning Commission should ask for a meeting with the City Council. Mr. Hamilton stated the City Council can change the terms of tenure but they are wrong in changing the make up of the Commissioners.

FINDINGS VICINITY /SITE INFORMATION 89 -15-DR Mikami Design Review Page 2 1. Project Description: To construct 28,000 s.f. of retail space in two, 20 foot tall buildings with 82 parking spaces as shown in Attachments A through E. 2. Existing Land Use: Vacant. 3. Surrounding Land Use: The site is generally surrounded by commercial uses in one and two story structures to the north, south and east. 1-5 lies to the west. 4. Terrain: Existing and finished grades are generally shown in Attachment A. The eastern 9 /10ths is flat with the remaining western area being a rapidly rising vegetated slope. 5. Vegetation: Vegetation is generally an alder -maple mix with underbrush. 6. Access: The site is accessed via Southcenter Parkway. BACKGROUND The proposed project is Phase II of the Southcenter Retail commercial development. Phase I is located to the immediate south and is shown on Attachment B as "Existing Retail Building and Parking." Phase I was approved by the Board in 1988 and has been constructed. This project is being processed based on a waiver to the Sensitive Areas Moratorium granted by the City Council pursuant to Ord. 1550. An environmental threshold determination (SEPA) has not been completed as of this writing. However, staff anticipates completing SEPA review prior to the Board's meeting. DECISION CRITERIA This project is subject to Board review due to its location in a C -2 zone and its gross building area exceeding 10,000 s.f. pursuant to TMC 18.60.030. Board review criteria are shown below in bold, along with a staff discussion of relevant facts. 18.60.050: General Review Criteria. (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. STAFF REPORT to the B.A.R. C 89 -15-DR Mikami Design Review Page 3 Proposed buildings are sited to architecturally mirror the existing "L" shaped Phase I building to the south, with Building B set back against the hillside. Building A is sited with its nearest wall 20 feet from the property line and stepping back to 30 feet. The area in front of Building A is landscaped as shown in Attachment E. The remaining frontage landscape strip is 10 feet wide along parking areas facing Southcenter Parkway. The parking lot has been broken up into three areas whose paved surfaces are visually moderated with landscape islands and perimeter strips as shown in Attachment E. The Public Works Dept. has determined the internal circulation system to be generally acceptable subject to elimination of a blind curve at the northwest corner of Building A and providing survey data demonstrates the accurate coordination of the northern driveway location with the 168th St. improvement. Elimination of the blind corner and /or a southward shift of the northern driveway will require some building redesign. The landscape strip in front of the trash dumpster is necessary to provide the side dearance to open car doors. This clearance area is normally provided by adjacent parking stalls, but is not available when adjacent to an eight foot tall wall. (2) Relationship of Structure and Site to Adjoining Area. a. Harmony on 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 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. Elements of site design harmony between Phase I and the adjacent areas include: (a) coordination of vehicular access driveways --the southern access is proposed to be relocated and enlarged to better serve both phases while the northern access is designed in coordination with the 168th St. improvement project; (b) design of the proposed building masses and materials echo the existing "L" shaped Phase I structure, as well as the building lines and 20 ft. commercial building heights in the surrounding area; and (c) coordinated landscape design and materials with Phase I as shown in Attachment E and discussed further in Criteria No. 3. (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, puking spaces, terraces and other paved areas should promote safety and provide an inviting and stable appearance. STAFF REPORT to the B.A.R. t 89 -15 -UR Mikami Design Review Page 4 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. Landscaping and site treatment are shown in attachment A, B, and E. The proposed street trees are spaced 75 apart. This is greater than the 30 ft. spacing normally provided and inconsistent with the 40 ft. spacing provided in Phase I. A 75 ft. spacing might be appropriate in front of Building A to frame the structure's architecture and recognize the 3 to 5 birch trees at each building frontage corner. The applicant has agreed to provide three additional trees to increase streetscape design harmony and better moderate the affects of paved areas. The modified landscape plan will be presented at the Board meeting. No landscaping has been shown for the newly - designed south arm of the southern driveway. The applicant has agreed to provide landscaping to match the northern driveway arm. Light standards are to be of the same design as used in Phase I (Patrick Kerr, Lance Mueller Arch., 3/15/90). No data on height was firmly established as of this writing. Glare diagrams to demonstrate no off -site light spill -over have as yet not been submitted. (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 antidpated 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 front 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 buildings projects should be avoided. Variety of detail, form and siting should be used to provide visual interest. The central importance of architectural harmony between Phase I and Phase II has been generally discussed in Criteria No. 2. The architect has used building location (. STAFF REPORT to the B.A.R. (5) Miscellaneous Structures and Street Furniture ( , 89 -15-DR Mikami Design Review Page 5 and shapes to echo the "L" structure of Phase I. This architectural harmony is reinforced by using similar materials, window proportions, colors, and accents. A colors and materials board will be presented at the Board meeting. The trash enclosure at the northwest corner of the site is the only miscellaneous structure proposed. This is a stand alone structure measuring 12 ft. by 19 ft. by eight foot tall screen walls. Walls will be concrete with reveal strips which divide the wall in thirds. It is appropriate that this enclosure be fronted with a landscape strip as discussed in Criteria No. 2. 1 CONCLUSIONS 1 Staff condudes the following based on the findings specific to each design criteria and the inter - relationships between these criteria. 1. Criteria No. 1: Relationship of Structure to Site, would be satisfied under the following conditions: a. site or building should be redesigned to eliminate the blind curve. Staff considers this to be a minor design change since it is to the rear of the building and not a visible part of the streetscape. Staff administrative approval for such a change would be appropriate; b. assuming that the northern driveway is properly aligned with the 168th St. improvement design; and c additional landscaping is provided to satisfy the design assumptions inherent in the minimum compact stall dimensions. 2. Criteria No. 2: Relationship of Structure and Site to Adjoining Area is satisfied. Data provided to date indicates that the site design and building architecture is harmonious with the surrounding area. 3. Criteria No. 3: Landscaping and Site Treatment, would be satisfied under the following conditions: a. landscape modification to increase the number of trees in front of and within the parking area as agreed to by the applicant and to be presented at the Board meeting, b. specifying landscape treatment at the newly modified southern driveway, c. maximum light standard height should not exceed 20 feet which is the building height, and STAFF REPORT to the B.A.R. 89 -15-DR Mikami Design Review Page 6 d. glare diagrams should be submitted to demonstrate no off -site light spill over. 4. Criteria No. 4: Building Design, is satisfied, based on the architectural design harmony between Phases I and II, and the combination of building off -sets, glass windows, and tile accents. 5. Criteria No. 5: Miscellaneous Structures and Street Furniture, is satisfied based on the trash screen wall materials being the same as the building and assuming identical colors. RECOMMENDATIONS 1 The Planning Division recommends approval subject to the following conditions. 1. The site or building shall be redesigned to eliminate the blind curve per SEPA requirements. The applicant shall submit the design change to the Community Development Director for approval. A typical design modification will be presented at the Board meeting. A major design change would require further Board review. 2. The following landscape modifications shall be incorporated: a. Provide additional landscaping in front of the trash dumpster to satisfy the design assumptions inherent in the minimum compact stall dimensions. b. Provide landscape modifications to increase the number of trees in front of and within the parking area, as agreed to by Applicant and Staff. Modifications will be presented at the time of Board review. c. Provide a landscape treatment at the newly modified southern arm of the south driveway. Landscaping should be consistent with that provided on the northern side of this driveway as determined by the Community Development Director. 3. Light standards shall have a maximum height of 20 feet and glare diagrams shall be provided to demonstrate no off -site light spill over. bush roed & hitchings grading storm sewer sanitary sewer and water lines southcenter retail building II robert schofield SOUTHCENTER PARKWAY R/W AND UTILITY.

The following is a summary and expansion of staff comments. 1. The proposed rezone is scheduled for Planning Commission review on January 25, 1989. 2. Design review by the B.A.R. is anticipated on April 26th; assuming that the City Council approves a waiver per Ord. 1550. The waiver must be granted no later than 30 days prior to the date for B.A.R. review. All SERA review must be completed no less than 25 days prior to B.A.R. review to provide for a 15 day comment period and 10 day appeal period. 3. A building permit application cannot be accepted without an Ord. 1550 waiver. Staff advises that the earliest possible issuance of a building permit is May 7th due to the 10 day B.A.R. appeal period during which no affected permits can be issued. A May 7th building permit issuance assumes the following: a. All building permit review has been completed, b. There have been no changes which require building permit revision (such changes will require additional review time and permit fees), c. All legal instruments have been executed, d. All impact fees have been satisfied, and e. There is no B.A.R. appeal. Site Design Review 4. The southern driveway should be shifted to the north to provide a clearly defined access corridor and eliminate the need for weaving movements immediately upon entering the parking area from the street. 5. The buildings are sited in an acceptable manner in order to provide harmony between Phase I and this Phase II. Building Design Review 6. Staff considers the basic building form and materials acceptable primarily due to the need for harmony with the existing Phase I building. 7. Building A is very prominently sited and serves as a transitional building to the main building. The perceived height and mass needs to be reduced. One way to reduce this perceived bulk would be to modulate the NE and SE thirds by 12 to 15 feet; incorporate high quality architectural accents (i.e. forms, color and contrasting materials) at break points; eliminate the roof peak; and improving the quality of landscaping (i.e. with a water feature and tiled planters). 8. Building A should be designed for 360 degree presentation with as much attention to quality detail given to the rear and sides as to the front. Additional modulating quality architectural accents (see No. 7) are needed on the north, south and west to echo the increased building design quality on the street face. 9. All modulation and architectural accents provided in Building A should be carried through in Building B. 10. Glass windows and architectural accents should be carried through on at least the northeast and southeast halves of Building B since they will be visible. 11. There are otherwise no significant comments on Building B. Landscape Design 12. Parking lot landscape islands should have a tree at each end. 13. Large stature trees should be placed to the rear of the southern entry (behind flowers) to emphasize its location. A similar treatment should be designed at the northern entry. 14. The two parallel parking spaces in the northeast should be replaced with landscaping. 15. The parking space adjacent to the dumpster should be eliminated in favor of landscaping to help soften the prominent 8 ft. wall. 16. The northwest rockery will be prominent to entering cars and should be fronted with a min. 4 ft. landscape strip of shrubs to provide a finished, yet softened, project boundary. Materials should match the dumpster wall plantings. 17. Live ground cover shall be maximized to provide a 90% coverage in 2 years. This generally means sod or ground cover planted at 18" o.c. with a good growth medium. cc: Beeler, Pace, File. rnF Vi-16--DR W <•• Re•••••• 2 s esi Sr394 / . 1 <W feie J.0n /I 5O.A+ 053. 4 I ve l 4s N Id es 3.
