C) A••lication 81 -23 SUB: Bel Crest Preliminar Plat - contd. Mr. Westlund stated his agreement, with regard to site access, that 54th Avenue South is a narrow street and that he would cooperate with the City in implementing its improvement in context with the 6 -Year Street Plan. David Morgan, audience, emphasized the hazards of winter travel on 59th Avenue, and urged attention to negative influences of underground springs in the plat area. Mr. Collins drew attention to the recommendation that drains be installed within the subdivision to handle any ground water encountered during construction. Darlene West, audience, expressed concern about tree preservation add building height restriction. Mr. Westlund replied that Item 7 of the Staff Report addresses the tree preservation issue, and that building height is restricted by the Zoning Code. Ms. West stated her agreement with the intent to provide single - family homes in this area. Mr. Sowinski suggested accessing the plat area through the site to the north rather than by way of 59th Avenue. Mr. Westlund indicated that the property owner is not willing to cooperate at this time. In response to Commissioner Arvidson, Mr. Satterstrom explained that the previously- approved Bel Crest preliminary plat expired prior to finalization and therefore a new application is required. Mr. Westlund added that the previous plat encompassed fifteen (15) lots; the current proposal has nineteen (19). Mr. Arvidson asked if all of the problems identified previously had been resolved. Mr. Collins replied that approval was subject to resolving certain issues with the Public Works, Fire and Water Departments of the City. Mr. Satterstrom explained that the applicable areas of concern are addressed in the seven recommended stipulations. Some of the information needed to satisfy the stipu- lations will be needed prior to Council review, and may require redesign of the final plat. Mr. Arvidson said he thought all Commissioners are in favor of more single - family homes in the City. Mr. James suggested placement of a barrier at the low end of the plat access road. Mr. Collins noted that the roadway may be realigned following more careful review by the Public Works staff. MOVED BY MR. SOWINSKI, WITH MR.

Requesting approval of site and architecture for a three -story office development on the .west side of Interurban at approximately South 147th St. Mr. Caughey presented the staff report, and Gary Nilsen, developer was present on behalf of the project. Mr. Nilsen stated his willingness to accept the proposed conditions of approval as described in the staff report. He noted, in regard to pro- posed condition #3, that they have already eliminated some parking in the immediate vicinity of the trail /parking aisle interface. It was the Board's concensus that further detail study of the material and layout concept of the realigned foot • trail should be included in the project landscape plan, and that the landscape plan should be returned to B.A.R. for approval.

MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. The Planning Commission adjourned at 10 :51 p.m. Tukwila Planning Commission Transcr by: Mark Caughey g Y Associate Planner Eileen Avery, Secretary A. Site AGENDA ITEM DISCUSSION PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT • INTRODUCTION The applicants are requesting approval of site and architecture for a 3 -story professional office building. Recently, the planning commission approved a grant of rezone for the westerly half of the site from R -4 to C -1. As a condition of zoning approval, BAR review of any subsequent development on the entire site is mandatory. CITY OF TUKWILA PLANNING DIVISION SCHNEIDER /NILSEN OFFICE PLAZA 1 1. Grading: Section 3 of Ordinance 1206 - rezoning the westerly portion of the r project site prohibits encroachment of development activity above elevation --- , '� �� -_ a--- . ) /...r., 30'. The p reliminary grading study I '° (Exhibit C) indicates that a portion of the southwest extremity of the parking area will encroach significantly above the 30' contour. As much as 15' of cutting at the southwest corner is indicated. Staff feels that this approach contravenes the intent of city council's rezone conditions and should be modi- fied. 2. Trail Interface: In May of this year, the applicant appeared before the Tukwila Park Commission to request official permission to route one of the main parking lot aisleways across an existing recreational foot trail. After considerable review of this approach, the commission noted its recommendation of acceptance to the City Council subject to the following conditions: - Developer should enter into an agreement to join a sidewalk L.I.D. for the building site. - Developer will re- establish a new trail according to City approved specifi- cations. - Developer agreed to maintain the trail section that falls within his property lines. - Developer is to re- establish the existing trail signs as directed by the City. SCHNEIDER /NILSEN OFFICE PLAZA Page 2 - "Speed bumps" or some type of architectural treatment of the trail area would be required and should be approved by the Board of Architectural review. - Eliminate from 2 to 6 parking stalls as necessary to prevent cars from back- ing into the trail area. - A physical separation, curb and landscaping, between the trail and parking area should be established. Exhibit "B" indicates the general intent of the developer in resolving the Park Commission's stipulation. In essence, the solution provided for a stamped con- crete pattern at the exact point of intersection with the trail, preceded on either side by an advance warning stripe. We do not find sufficient detail here to evaluate the solution in the full context of the Park Board's requirement. We suggest that the applicant return to the Board of Architectural Review with a more definitive concept as part of the project landscape plan. We discussed with the Park Board elimination of 4 parking stalls immediately south of the trail intersection point in order to eliminate backing - pedestrian accidents. The Park Board left this matter to the BAR's resolution. Staff urges deletion of these parking stalls, as the project well exceeds its mini- mum on -site parking requirement. B. Architecture 1. Height: The proposed building is 40' high in a 3 -story configuration. At this time, Draft #4 of the proposed zoning code, as recommended by the Plan- ning Commission restricts height in the C -1 district to 35'. If the zoning map accompanying Draft #4 is approved as it now exists, the Schneider /Nilsen site will be rezoned in its entirety to C -1, and the building may become non- conforming. 2. Material: While the proposed architectural concept is pleasing in style and proportion, there has been some indication in the past that the exterior glass material may be of the reflective surface type. We suggest that non - reflective glass material be considered; it is our belief that the aesthetic value of the building will be lessened by use of a surface texture which re- flects passing traffic. Instead, we suggest use of a dark, non - reflective surface treatment which causes the building's height and bulk to recede visually into the densely- wooded hillside to the west. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of site and architecture for the Schneider /Nilsen Office Building, according Exhibits A -D of the development plan file, subject to the following stipulations: 1. Revision of the grading plan to reflect compliance with Section 3 of Ordinance 1206. 2. Prior to issuance of building permits, the applicant shall present to the Board of Architectural Review a Comprehensive Landscape Plan and automatic irrigation system design. The landscape plan shall include a detailed description of the pavement surface interface between Tukwila Trail #1 and the parking lot aisle, as shown on Exhibit A of this application. SCHNEIDER /NILSEN OFFICE PLAZA Page 3 3. Elimination of the 4 parking stalls immediately south of the pedestrian trail/ parking lot aisle intersection. 4.

The Board stipulated at that time that the applicant return with a detailed graphic analysis of on -site land- scaping and the pedestrian trail/ parking lot. -- Southcenter Plaza II (Schneider/ ER ).i..:N. tA Mr1 or pm... ,1,...1 LFwI \i \�.

Be- -� cause the scale of this building, in terms of height and mass, is greater than that of most other development �n Interurban Avenue, we encourage the developer to utilize strategic siting of significantly -sized trees at the streetside building corners to reduce and soften visual impacts. This approach was used quite effectively at the Schneider /Nilsen office building across Interurban Avenue to counteract the influence of a narrow front setback relative to adjacent height. Much the same height -to- setback relationship exists in. the present case, requiring aesthetic mitigation. A specific concern raised at the last meeting was the degree to which the applicant has complied with the standards of acceptability prescribed by the Parks Board for interfacing Tawila Trail #1 with the project's inter- nal circulation system. Exhibit D describes in greater visual detail the proposed solution, and appears to have satisfied the Park Board's require- ments, with one exception: Adequacy of the advance warning stripes. Originally, the Board advocated use of speed -bumps as a warning device; staff discourages the speed -bump concept in that they can actually increase driving hazard potential when ignored or overlooked. Instead, we suggest that the yellow- warning stripes. proposed by the applicant be made of raised reflective highway lane markers. These devices udll produce a gentler shaking motion to warn approaching vehicles than will speed bumps, thus averting drivers to the possible presence of pedestrians. We also suggest that the warning stripes on the north edge of the crosswalk be moved farther away to provide more driver reaction time. Page -2- - Southcenter Plaza I RECOMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the landscape plan for the Schneider /Nilsen Southcenter Plaza II project, according to Exhibits C & D of the applica- tion, subject to the following conditions: 1) Applicant shall install specimen evergreen trees of 20' - 25' initial height at the southeast and at the northwest corners of the building, or at other strategic locations adjacent to the building as mutually - acceptable to the applicant and staff. 2) Crosswalk advance - warning stripes as shown on Exhibit "C" ^ shall be made of reflective highway markers and shall be located subject to Public Works Department specifications. 3) All plans and specs, in detail, must be approved by the City before any trail work is to be done. Construction of the new trail is subject to City inspections and required corrections. li southcenter plaza ii CITY OF iTUKWILA OFFICE OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROPOSED /FINAL DECLARATION OF /i1ON —S I GU I F I CA dCE Description of proposal Rezone from R -4 to C -1 Proponent Schneider /Nilsen Development Inc.

Apparently, some misunderstandings exist between our two offices, and it is critical that you take no action in the field until all regular steps in the permit - processing sequence are completed: 1) When the Planning Department approved a foundation permit for this project in late August, we stipulated that a complete grading, utility and site - layout plan set, drawn accurately and internally- consistent in content, would have to be reviewed and approved by this office before construction begins. After meeting with Mark Caughey last week, I understand that you and your consultants are working on the revised plan set; however, it has not yet been reviewed by this office for signature. 2) Another stipulation of starting field construction is that the City be given at least seven (7) working days notice before field work begins to remove the boardwalk and post trail closure. Your letter of 10 September effectively gives us one (1) day's notice; not only is this condition at odds with the letter of our prior agreement, but seems inconsistent with the spirit of extraordinary cooperation which we have extended to you since the inception of this project. 3) Because of our interest in reopening the trail for public use as quickly as possible, it seems appropriate that we reach agreement on a schedule for completing the trail improvements. As an alternative it may be desirable to give a performance bond to the City to insure that the trail will be restored for safe, efficient public usage even if, for any reason, the building project is not completed. To: Schneider /Nilsen Development Attn: Gary Nilsen Page: 2 BC:nb xc: M. Caughey A. Pieper. D. Williams T. Uomoto Beginning any work in the field on this development would be premature until: 1) The construction plan set is approved; 2) The City has had ample time to remove the boardwalk; 3) A schedule or performance bond -for trail restoration is arranged with the City. If you wish to discuss these matters further, please call me at your convenience.

FROM: DATE: A • 190S City of Tukwila 6200 Southcenter Boulevard Tukwila Washington 98188 5 August 1981 - 7 August 1981 - Frank Todd, Mayor 13 August 1981 - 17 August 1981 18 August 1981 MEMORANDUM .TO: Mayor Todd Brad Collins, Planning Director ac/ 19 August 1981 SUBJECT: Schneider /Nilsen Building Permit The purpose of this memo is to acquaint you with the process which was fol- lowed by staff in reviewing the Foundation Permit for the Southcenter Plaza II /Green River Office building on Interurban Avenue, and to share with you some of the problems and insights experienced as a result of following that process. First, here is a chronology of the steps taken by staff following the Board of Architectural Review's approval decision of 23 July 1981: Preliminary utility /site layout, foundation detail drawings, and application submitted for foundation permit. Public Works Department preliminary review and written comments mailed to Schneider /Nilsen. 11 -- Schneider /Nilsen met with Public Works and Planning staff to review letter of 8/7/81 and trail construc- tion specification sheets. Revised plan set resubmitted and found incomplete by Planning and Public Works - applicant notified. - Schneider /Nilsen met after 5:00 p.m. with Public Works, Planning, Recreation staff and applicant's engineer , to review deficiencies in resubmittal plans. - Schneider /Nilsen met again after 5:00 p.m. with staff to review plan set difficulties - most issues resolved and Foundation Permit was issued. While the preceding process description may appear orderly, it does not adequately suggest the frustrations.which staff experienced in attempting to provide Mr. Nilsen with expedited permit review services. The system broke down at several points, largely through inept management by the applicant of his design team. Several times in spite of our best efforts to expeditiously Page -2- ° Mayor Todd 19 August 1981 BC /MC /blk cc: Ted Uomoto, Public Works Director "turn- around" plan -site analyses with concise written comment, the informa- tion we asked for was not provided. While vacation- schedule "shorthandedness" in the Public Works Department did contribute to the frustration level, we feel that staff was pressured throughout to reduce the quality of our plan review effort largely in response to the applicant's inadequate data. As a result of this experimental run through thecentral permit counter procedures, we have discovered some insights which will be incorporated into the final design of the system before it is formally- instituted: 1) Above all else, it is the applicant's responsibility to comply with City permit approval requirements. It is our responsibility to state those requirements as clearly as possible; however, the appli- cant must be fully aware that if he ignores our direction, he may imperil the swift processing of his permit and must accept liability for delays. 2) We cannot expend the hours and energy which characterized this par- ticular application as a typical commitment to all projects which come before us. Henceforth, staff will not assume the burden of time and coordination which results from the developer's failure to manage his resources toward resolution of the City's stated concerns. 3) The Schneider /Nilsen foundation permit processing points up the need for a crucial element of the central permit processing system which we have already anticipated -- that of the pre - application review sequence. It is imperative that we identify early -on for the appli- cant as many topics of concern as possible so that inter - departmental requirements may be reviewed for consistency and so that the resulting plan set is complete. This will help avoid the need for tedious and delaying resubmittals, such as we experienced in the Schneider /Nilsen case. In conclusion, Mr. Nilsen's plans were plagued by inconsistencies and incom- pleteness which will necessitate a complete new set of working drawings before we can adequately inspect construction performance and before he can apply for a Building Permit on the rest of the proposed structure. If an applicant does not give his design team adequate instructions and /or time to complete plan requirements per City code, then the processing will be delayed, and the permit denied until compliance is shown.

Tukwila, WA 98003 Subject: Green River Plaza 22 April 1981 As you requested, our office has reviewed the preliminary development plan set for your proposed three -story office project on the west side of Interurban Avenue. Our comments follow: 1) Special setback requirement: Per TMC 18.56.055, a fifteen foot wide landscaped setback must be maintained along the entire Interurban Avenue frontage of the site, since you are developing adjacent to R -4 zone properties. The southerly parking area does not comply at this time with the aforementioned setback requirements. 2) Recreation trail alignment: Since you propose to cross the existing pedestrian trail with automobile traffic, this concept will have to be approved by the Tukwila Park Board. Please call Don Williams at your convenience to arrange for an appearance be- fore the Board. 3) Architectural concept: Frankly, we're a little uncomfortable at this point with the mass and reflective material of the building; it is a significant departure from the more traditional built -. forms so characteristic of the Southcenter /Interurban business area. Final determination as to the acceptability of this design approach will have to be made by the Tukwila Board of • Architectural Review. 4) Grading: As part of the submittal to the B.A.R., we will require a grading plan depicting existing and modified contours, drainage pattern and "spot" elevations. MEMORANDUM City of Tukwila 6200 Southcenter Boulevard Tukwila Washington 98188 TO: Brad Collins, Planning Director FROM: Don Williams, Parks and Recreation Director DATE: July 16, 1981 SUBJECT: Comments on B.A.R. review of Southcenter Plaza II project I have reviewed the staff report regarding this project and am pleased to see both the Park Commission and my concerns were addressed. Further, I agree with the staffs recommendation to "advance the warning stripes" away from the crosswalk /trail and to use raised highway lane markers instead of paint stripes. The use of "Bomanite" concrete pavers is also acceptable. Regarding the architectural design;the items indentified in the report and attached drawings are acceptable. However, several concerns the Park Commission were not mentioned and I should point these out. I recognize the B.A.R. staff repor_t_may not have...been the..docimient_..to identify these needs and perhaps- the. Planning Commission can consider these items. - Developer should construct as part of his project or enter into an agreement for future sidewalk construction along Interurban Avenue. - Existing trail identification posts and sign shall be located on Inter- urban Avenue. - Access to maintain all of our trail must be available to City crews. -)A11 plans and specs, in detail, must be approved by the City before any trail work is to be done. - All of the existing walkway planks and railroad ties should be removed in a usable condition for the City to pick up and remove to the City Shops. -.Construction of the new trail is subject to City inspections and required corrections. This week I have forwarded to the City Attorney's office a request that he prepare an agreement that the developer and City .could sign identifying the maintenance and legal concerns that must be addressed in such a joint usage situation. You should have this by June 22, 1981. DW /blk 1908 City of Tukwila 6200 Southcenter Boulevard Tukwila Washington 98188 Frank Todd, Mayor Larry Hard Lesourd, Patten, Fleming, Hartung & Emory Attorneys -at -Law 3900 Seattle First National Bank Building Seattle, WA 98154 July 16, 1981 Dear Larry, Per our phone conversation of July 14th I am concerned that a develop- ment, Southcenter Plaza II, by utilizing some area of a 20 foot wide right - a -way may cause the City some legal problems. Specifically the developer wants to use the right -a -way as part of his parking /access area and incorporate the area into his landscaping. If this is allowed how can the City insure that we can maintain all of the trail and what liabilities should we be trying to avoid. I am writing this letter on the behalf of the Planning and Public Works Departments. Planning will need a response by June 22nd as the Planning Commission will be reviewing this project and I will be out of town next week on vacation. Some of the specifics are as follows, but first review the two attached drawings: - The City, thus far, has no objections of the developer to use the 20 foot.right -a -way for his intended purposes, however, the trail must be re- established to City specifications within the right -a -way. - The City does not want to give up any rights to maintain the trail, any sections, or any ownership of the land or any rights to get the trail. - The developer has to be told and he must agree to what can be done and how it is to be done. - The new trail must be built to specifications approved by the Public Works Department and consideration given to the use of the trail during the new construction.

Tukwila, WA. 98168 Attn: Gary. Nilsen SUBJECT: Southcenter Plaza II Office Bldg. 5 May 1982 After.prelimi review of the plan set dated 15. April. . 1982 which was submitted in support of your application for building permit, we request that you respond to the following concerns: Al Environmental Assessment In order to issue'the building permit, a Declaration of Non - Significance must be issued for•the project itself. The Attached DNS was issued for the western portion of your site, and did not pertain to the building itself. We ask, therefore, that you complete and return the enclosed SEPA checklist. B) SITE PLAN (sheet 11 The following corrections should be made to the site plan: Al Eliminate the four parking stalls depicted at the south edge of the internal driveway /pedestrian trail interface per stipulation 3 of the Board of Architectural Review approval decision of 25 June 1981. bi. Modify the "stamped concrete" warning stripes to indicate use of reflective highway dots as shown on the drawing of 8 -17 -81 by Baylis Architects and as stipulated by the B.A.R. on 23 July 1981. c) Add a note stating that a sidewalk eight feet in width shall extend the length of the site's Interurban Avenue frontage as depicted on sheet L -1 prepared by Baylis Architects. d) The parking area'at the west end of the site appears to be in con- flict with the grading plan. Which was approved at the time the foun- dation permit was issued. Stipulation 1 of the B.A.R. approval ac- tion requires compliance with section 3 of ordinance 1206. That reg- ulation states that no disturbance of existing'contour orvegetation above elevation 30' is permitted as a result of development activity. The grading and utility plan revised 10-23-81 by Leonard Schroeter, P.E. as approved by this office for your foundation permit reflects compliance with this requirement; please revise sheet 1 accordingly. Page Two GAN Enterprises 5 May 1982 e) In April, 1981, the staff conducted a preliminary review of your project plan and noted that a 15' wide setback must be provided behind the property line on the site's Interurban Avenue frontage. The southerly parking area does not comply at this time with the setback standard. C) LANDSCAPING Landscaping as depicted on Sheet L -1 was approved by the,B.A.R. on 23 July 1981. However, stipulation one of their decision requires place- ment of specimen trees not shown on the drawing. These items should be added to sheet L -1. Also, the B.A:R. stipulated on 25 June 1981 that an automatic irrigation system plan for the landscapedareas must be reviewed as part of the building permit submittal. Please provide this material. D} TRAIL SYSTEM Your letter of 24 April 1982 to Al Pieper indicates your willingness to install temporary recreation trail routing, but does not illustrate the route that the trail will follow. A diagram of the temporary trail route whoch directs pedestrian traffic as far away as, possible from ` construction activity should be provided. We appreciate your prompt attention to resolving these.. matters so that our office can expedite release of your construction permits. encl: B.A.R. min. 25 June 81 B.A.R. min. 23 July 81 D.N.S. 22 Jan 81 Ord. 1206 Letter of 22 Apr 81 SEPA Checklist xc: Ping.

I have been involved in negotiations involving matters relating to access to Interurban Avenue and location of the right -of -way for South 149th Street. I am aware that there are concerns about the construction of the trail and about a fire lane. I believe that we should meet to discuss this project and to enumerate all of the concerns of the City. Once we have formulated a comprehensive and coherent . position from the City's point of view, at least as far as the administration is concerned, then we may find it advisable to advise the City Council Ad Hoc Committee Mr. Don Williams, et al. June 5, 1981 Page Two I look forward to hearing from you. LEH:sk cc: Mayor Frank Todd regarding the status of this project. On the other hand, it may be possible to negotiate directly with the owner - developer to solve these problems so that it will not be necessary to take the matter back to the City Council. I would appreciate your consideration of this matter. If necessary, perhaps we can schedule a meeting at City Hall to discuss the various concerns.

All five Commissioners were present and spent about an hour reviewing his request. The purpose of this memo is to pass on to the Planning Department, a list of conditions they would like to see established before the developer is allowed to use the City property.as he has requested. During the course of the discussions,Gary Nilsen agreed to several concerns with the Park Commission and in addition to these,the Park Commission passed a motion identifying several specific conditions. These are ex- plained below: - Developer should enter into an agreement to join a sidewalk L.I.D. for the building site. - Developer will re- establish a new trail according to City approved speci- fications. (Gary Nilsen was specifically advised not to construct any- thing until the City, mainly the Public Works Department, had approved his trail specs in writing.) - Developer agreed to maintain the trail section that fall within his property lines. (We must yet address liability problems and legal access to the remainder of the trail for our park crews.) - Developer is to re- establish the existing trail signs as directed by the City. In addition to the above items,, the Park Commission approved a motion to allow the developer to use the right -of -way with certain conditions the developer must abide to, and he agreed. - ';Speed bumps" or some type of architectural treatment of the trail area would be required and should be approved by the Board of Architectural re- view. Page -2- Mark Caughey " June 3, 1981 - Eliminate from 2 to 6 parking stalls as necessary to prevent cars from backing into the trail area. - A physical separation, curb and landscaping, between the trail and parking area should be established. - Keep current trail signing. In general the Park Commission was in +'favor of the developer's proposal, but only under the conditions identified. If any of the conditions are eliminated, their support would be lost unless a very reasonable trade- off is obtained. Please keep me advised of the projects progress.
