This permit was changed on December 20, 1978 to a temporary permit because the setback requirements were not met. The notation on the permit granted the temporary status until March 1, 1979. On March 1, 1979 the City received an application for a variance. This variance application was heard by the Board of Adjustment at the regular meeting on April 5, 1979. The Board of Adjustment took no action at that meeting and continued the application to the May meeting. You were notified of this action by letter, dated April 11, 1979. On May 3,1979 the Board reheard the request for variance. After lengthy dis- cussion the Board of Adjustment denied the variance. The Board also made and passed a motion to required the sign that had been installed by temporary permit to be removed by June 30, 1979. In addition to your attendance at that hearing, you were notified by letter dated May 7, 1979 of the action of the Board. On May 18, 1979 a letter dated May 11, 1979 was received from you requesting a rehearing. On May 17, 1979 a letter was received from you also dated May 11, 1979 requesting a study session prior to the meeting to discuss alternate solutions. On May 24, 1979, I sent a reply to your letter to the Board of Adjustment dated May 11, 1979. In my reply I informed you of the requirements necessary to qualify for a rehearing. The material mentioned in that letter was not received. July 20, 1979 On June 7, 1979 the Board of Adjustment at a regularly scheduled meeting dis- cussed with you various solutions and alternatives. Page 2 AP /dp C A letter was sent to you on June 11, 1979 informing you of that action and deadline dates for an application for variance submittal. On June 21, 1979 Roger Blaylock of the Planning Division sent you a letter that referred to the changing of the sign to a 24 foot high configuration. As of this date July 18, 1979 we have received no applications nor do we know of any attempt on your part to comply with the June 30, 1979 date for removal of the sign. The purpose of this letter is to remind you of a violation of the City of Tukwila Municipal Code Section 19, commonly referred to as the "Sign Code ". This violation exists at 16405 Southcenter Parkway and consists of a free- standing sign 35 feet plus or minus height. Section 19.32.070 requires a free - standing sign to be setback from all property lines a distance equal to its height. Section 19.12.010 of the Tukwila Municipal Code required permits for all signs of this type. The subject sign does not have a valid permit. As stated previously, the temporary permit expired on March 1, 1979. Section 19.32.140 (B) requires the support for a freestanding sign to be in a landscaped area. The subject sign is not landscaped at its base. The above listed items comprise three distinct violations of the Tukwila Municipal Code. Sections 19.36 of the .Tukwila Municipal Code provides for penalties and en- forcement of the "Sign Code ". (copy enclosed) You are herby notified that the violations cannot be allowed to. continue. The City has been more that generous in allowing the sign to remain. With this in mind the time allowed for compliance is. seven (7) days from the receipt of this letter. If any of the violations exist after that date, a citation will be issued per Section 19.36.020 and penalties will be levied per Section 19.36.010 (copy enclosed) If you have any questions or desire additional information you may call me at (206) 433 -1849.

The sensus of opinion was that you may, if you desire, submit an for a variance from the Sign Code, for a full hearing before There are no guarantees as to the outcome of a hearing. The requirements for a hearing are contained in my letter to May 24, 1979. If you desire a variance application be heard 5 (tentative) hearing date, the submittal should reach me on June 18, 1979. Tukwila Building Department general con - application the Board. you dated on the July or before Board of Adjustment Minutes Page 2 7 June 1979 Mrs. Regel and Mrs. Altmayer felt Mr. Locke should have applied for the exception. Mr. Blaylock explained the property is not subdivided so Mr. Quackenbush cannot purchase it because Mr. Locke cannot legally sell it. MOTION BY MR. GOE AND SECONDED BY MRS. ALTMAYER THAT CONSIDERING THAT THE LANDOWNER HAS NOT REQUESTED THE APPLICATION THAT THE BOARD DISCONTINUE ANY FURTHER CONSIDERATION OF THE APPLICATION. MOTION BY MRS. ALTMAYER AND SECONDED BY MISS MORGAN TO RECONSIDER THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED. Discussion continued regarding who should make the application and the subdivision of the property. Mr. Blaylock was asked to get a legal opinion and inform the applicant of the decision. Mr. Blaylock said another alternative would be to have Mr. Locke cosign the application. Mr. Goe explained the intent of the motion he made that the legal owner should be represented by application. MOTION CARRIED. At this time the Board recessed for a quick break. OTHER BUSINESS CUSSION: TERRANOMICS CORPORATION: Mr. Pieper explained that the applicant requested the Board discuss their pre- vious variance request. Mel Peterson, Terranomics Corp., explained that he had talked to the City Attorney, Larry Hard, and that due to the voting procedure, Mr. Hard said that the Terranomics Corp. would be granted another hearing. He mentioned he requested a discussion prior to the new hearing so that he and. the Board could come up with a solution that is acceptable to all. He also mentioned.that they will apply for a B.S.I.P. Mr. Peterson displayed and explained the new site plans. He said they would like to place a sign in the landscaped area that would identify both tenants. Mr. Peterson mentioned that Pacific Stereo would like the sign to be as close to 35 feet tall as legally possible. Mr. Peterson asked for the Board's feelings on: a. What is your feelings on the Binding Site Improvement Plan? b. If we go to a Binding Site Improvement Plan would the Board accept a sign that is of the square footage compatible with the ordinance with two (2) signs on one pole? At this time there was a short recess. General discussion followed. Board of Adjustment Page 3 Minutes 7 June 1979 c. We would like some indication of the height and location of the sign in that general vicinity. Mr. Blaylock and Mr. Pieper explained the purpose of a Binding Site Improvement Plan. Mr. Peterson explained the history of the sign variance application. There was a discussion regarding elevations in the parking lot and the location and size of the sign. Mr. Pieper explained where the sign could go and Mr. Peterson explained where they would like the sign to be located. Mr. Goe mentioned his concerns regarding nonconforming signs. He said the sign ordinance states that all nonconforming signs would have to come down in 1980. Mr. Pieper explained that he felt the intent of the sign code was that the non- conforming signs that are suppose to come down in 1980 alluded to signs that were nonconforming at that time (1973), and that any signs that have variances granted for them after the adoption of the sign code are legal because they have a variance. There was a discussion regarding on premise signs, plus the location and size of the sign. Miss Morgan said that on behalf of the citizens we cannot give you (Mr. Peterson) the information you are asking for. We have an obligation to go through a due process which involves your making a new application with a description of what it is you want to do, we get a staff report on the situation and what is involved and that we have another meeting and make a decision at that time. MOTION BY MRS. ALTMAYER AND SECONDED BY MR. GOE THAT THE DISCUSSION ON THIS SUB- JECT BE CLOSED. MOTION CARRIED. It was suggested that Mr. Blaylock write a letter to the Mayor concerning noncon- forming signs that have to come down in 1980. Mr. Pieper said a list had been made of all the nonconforming signs. OTHER BUSINESS: Mr. and Mrs. Reid Johanson presented a site plan of their residence at 6425 South 153rd requesting an exception from the front yard setback under TMC 18.60.80. Miss Morgan stated she was uncomfortable with not going through the normal pro- cedure.

The form that the City of Tukwila uses to inform applicants of the require- ments necessary to file an application for a variance to the Board of Ad- justment, lists several conditions that must be met. The City of Tukwila will require the applicant to comply with items "B ", "C" and "D" before we can schedule a rehearing. Any drawings submitted should show specific conditions such as: exact loca- tion of proposed sign, exact setback dimensions, exact sign design including size and height.

We will also require the names and addresses of the surrounding property owners per item "D ". Upon receipt of the foregoing material we will sched- ule a rehearing at the earliest possible date. This application is being treated as a new application and therefore all re- quirements must be met including the payment of fees ($150.00). All appli- cable code sections are enclosed.

HARD RODNEY J. WALDBAUM BRUCE G. HANSON RICHARD P. MATTHEWS D. WILLIAM TOONE M. COLLEEN WEULE DANIEL D. WOO CARL J. CARLSON ROBERT L. PALMER COUNSEL Late Friday afternoon, May 11, 1979, I had a series of telephone conversations with you, Ed Bauch and Mel Peterson of Terranomics, Inc., in San Francisco, California. As the result of those conversations, I orally advised Mr. Peterson that he should write a letter to the City of Tukwila Board of Adjustment, requesting that they reconsider the vote which was taken by the Board of Adjustment with respect to the application for a variance filed by Terranomics, Inc. Mr. Peterson did submit a letter pursuant to my.instructions and I have received a copy. I will try to explain my under- standing of the discussions which I had during the Friday in question and why, in my opinion, the proposed procedure is a desirable course of action. On Friday, May 11, Terranomics was faced with the alterna- tive of filing a lawsuit in the King County Superior Court to challenge the action taken by the Board of Adjustment or to request that the Board of Adjustment reconsider its vote. If Terranomics had filed the lawsuit, which they had the right to do under the provisions of the TMC, the basis of the action would have been that the vote of the Board of Adjustment was void because it did not comply with the procedural requirements of Roberts' Rules of Order. It was the position of Terranomics that, at the meeting in question, four of the five members of the Board of Adjust- ment were present. When the vote was taken to deny the Mr. Kjell Stoknes City of Tukwila May 21, 1979 Page Two variance, only two of the four persons present voted. Those two persons voted in favor of the motion to deny the variance. As a result, the motion failed for a lack of a majority voting in its favor. It is the position of the City that the vote taken at the Board of Adjustment meeting was valid in that there was a quorum and that under the provisions of Roberts' Rules of Order when a person does not vote on a matter, without formally abstaining or removing himself from the proceeding, then the silence is construed to be a vote in favor of the motion. In any event, if we were to have this matter heard before a Superior Court, we would be faced with a court proceeding involving hundreds of dollars in attorney fees and the hours of time of City personnel involved in pre- paring for the hearing and attending it. The net effect of the court proceeding would be either that the court would rule in favor of Terranomics and send the whole matter back to the Board of Adjustment to take another vote, or the court would have upheld the vote taken by the Board of Adjustment and denying the variance. If the court ruled in favor of upholding the Board of Adjustment, then Terranomics would be required by the City to take down the existing sign which was erected pursuant to a temporary sign permit. Needless to say, any action by the City to require the removal of the sign would have been met by resistance by Terranomics and would have resulted in a second lawsuit. It was my impression after having discussed the facts of this matter with you and with Mr. Peterson, that a court might be confused as to what action had been taken by the Board of Adjustment. There appeared to be some question about the actual vote taken and whether, in fact, the Board of Adjustment had adopted the provisions of Roberts' Rules of Order as those which guide its deliberations. In any event, it was apparent that the actual application being considered by the Board of Adjustment was somewhat confused in that the proposal orally presented by Terranomics was different from the proposal set forth in the written vari- ance application. Based on these impressions, it was my opinion that the most prudent course of action would be to ' Mr. Kjell Stoknes City of Tukwila May 21, 1979 Page Three avoid a court hearing at this time by allowing Terranomics to present again its application for variance before the Board of Adjustment. By so doing, Terranomics, Inc., should be required to file the necessary written application and follow all applicable rules so that a complete variance application is before the Board of Adjustment. When the Board takes its vote, after considering the application, the record should clearly reflect whether a commissioner has abstained, voted for, or voted against the variance application. If the Board of Adjustment votes in favor of the application, then the entire sign problem should be solved. If the Board of Adjustment votes to deny the application, then Terranomics must appeal that decision to the King County Superior Court or be required to take down the sign. In my opinion, if the Board of Adjustment does deny the variance application after having before it a proper application and taking a vote about which there can be no doubt, the City will be in a much stronger position to defend the actions of the Board of Adjustment in the event of a lawsuit. As a result, it is my opinion that the Board of Adjust- ment should notify the applicant that the matter will be set for rehearing before the Board of Adjustment on some given date. The City should also be sure that the applicant has submitted an application which is correct in all respects and which outlines the actual variance application being proposed by Terranomics. It is essential that the record before the Board of Adjustment be complete. I hope this letter explains the basis for my decision, which was made late on a Friday afternoon without having looked at a single document, in attempting to advise both the City and a property owner with respect to their legal rights. I believe the decision was the right one and I continue to hold that opinion. It was my understanding that Mayor Bauch concurred in the decision to allow the applicant to request that the Board of Adjustment meet again to take another vote on the variance application. I Mr. Kjell Stoknes City of Tukwila May 21, 1979 Page Four LEH:dvab would not have given that advice to Mr. Peterson if I believed that Mayor Bauch had not approved of that course of action. Very truly yours, LeSOURD, PATTEN, FLEMING, HARTUNG & EMORY Lawrence E. Hard City ' of Tukwila 6200 Southcenter Boulevard Tukwila Washington 98188 MEMORANDUM TO: File FROM: Al Pieper a. -? DATE: May 14, 1979 SUBJECT: Pacific Stereo variance application On October 3, 1978 an application was received for a free standing sign at 16405 Southcenter Parkway Tukwila. The application was received from the Campbell Sign Company. Basic review of the site plan and drawings was done by Linda Stansfield. It was noted that the location of the pro- posed sign did not meet setback requirements but did comply in all other aspects. A sign permit number 78 -OOls was issued with the drawing corrected to read in correction note number 1 "sign must be setback from all property lines at least 35' ". The date of the permit was November 28,1978. On or about December 19,1978 the sign company proceeded to install the free standing sign without inspection at approximately 1:00 P.M. During the installation of the sign it was noted that the setback was not as required and the sign was removed. After several discussions with Mr. Frank Hanes of the sign company a notation was made on the permit "temporary permit, expires March 1,1979, signed and dated. The substance of . the discussions were that a variance to the sign code would be applied for and that if the variance was denied the sign would be removed. The meeting date of the Board of Adjustment being February 1 and March 1, would give the applicant sufficient time to file the application and the notation on the permit reclassifying it from a permanent permit to a temporary permit was based on those dates for possible action by the Board of Adjustment. No other agreements were made or implied. The next action that occurred was on or about January 15, 1979 when the parties involved were notified that in order to meet the February 1 meeting date agenda deadline, I would have to have the application two weeks ahead of time. The two weeks is to allow for advertising and staff report to the Board of Adjustment. AP /dp Page 2 Apparently (an assumption) the parties involved either forgot or were depending on someone else to make the application. The ap- plication was not received in time to be place on the February 1,1979 Board of Adjustment meeting agenda. I received a letter dated February 6,1979 from a Rob Scafe, account manager for Electrical Products Corporation asking for a 30 day exten- sion due to site changes etc. On February 13,1979 I sent a reply de- nying the extension and explaining the provisions of the Code that does not authorize that type of temporary sign. On March 1,1979 we received an application for a variance. The fee of $150.00 was receipted on receipt number 13512. The variance application was placed on the agenda for the April 5,1979 meeting and duly adver- tised on March 21,1979 in the Renton Record Chronicle. I had not heard from the applicant so I placed a phone call to Mel Peterson to inquire if he intended to represent his interest at the meeting. He stated that due to the airline strike he would be unable to attend and requested me to delay the meeting. I explained that I could not do that due to the fact that the meeting date and subject had been advertised and could not be changed. He then suggested that if the Board of Adjustment had trouble approving the variance would I request them to continue the meeting until next month. During the meeting of April 5, 1979 after a lengthy discussion the Board did move to continue the meeting to the May 3,1979 regularly scheduled meeting. On May 3,1979 the Board of Adjustment, after a lengthy discussion and consideration of all the facts presented by Mel Peterson and the Building Department staff, denied the variance application. The substance of the meeting are contained in the minutes as prepared by staff secretaries. Several letters relating to the subject are contained in the variance application file.

We feel that the alternativesleft to our tenants under ordinance should we be denied are not in our best interest or the City of Tukwila's. We would therefore like a study session prior to the meeting to discuss alternate solutions (Binding Site Plan, lower sign, location, compromise, setback, etc.) I am sure you will find this mutually beneficial. Please advise me when we can schedule a meeting.

Mr. Peterson said the permit was issued in error and Mr. Pieper explained that the permit was not issued in error. The permit was issued with the stipulation that the sign be setback from all property lines a distance equal to its height or 35 feet. Mr. Peterson explained the new set of drawings he had submitted and that there were going to be two buildings on the lot and they felt one sign for both buildings would be better than two separate signs. He also explained alternative locations of the sign. Discussion ensued regarding the height and location of the sign in both alternatives. Mr. Peterson mentioned they would prefer approval of alternative P.R.2. There was a discussion regarding the status of the property in regards to subdivision. It was mentioned that the property was not subdivided at the present time. Board of Adjustment Minutes The public hearing was closed by Chairman Duffie. Page 2 3 May 1979 Mr. Pieper explained the issuance of a temporary sign permit for Pacific Stereo and the stipulations attached to it. Discussion ensued regarding the sign and proposed locations. MOTION BY MR. GOE AND SECONDED BY MISS MORGAN THAT THE PUBLIC HEARING BE CLOSED. MOTION CARRIED. There was a discussion on the size and setback requirements of the sign. Mr. Blaylock mentioned that the present sign would comply to the setback require- ments if it were parallel to Southcenter Parkway. Miss Morgan mentioned her concern regarding limiting the second sign in scope to be in line with the ordinance. She also mentioned another issue to include in a motion that no other free standing sign be allowed on the property either as subdivided or Binding Site Improvement. Also that at no time can this sign be added to or become a shared directional sign. Mr. Pieper explained the sign code only allows one free standing sign per build- ing and if there are two signs on one post, each building is considered to have one free standing sign. Mr. Goe mentioned he did not care for what they were being asked to approve in the variance. He preferred the sign(s) to be shorter. The Board members discussed variance criteria as it related to the Pacific Stereo Sign. MOTION BY MR. GOE AND SECONDED BY MRS. REGEL TO REJECT THE GRANTING OF THE VARIANCE BASED ON THE REASON IT DOESN'T MEET THE VARIANCE CRITERIA. MOTION CARRIED. Mr. Blaylock explained to Mr. Peterson that the action of the Board of Adjustment is final and conclusive unless within ten (10) days from the date of the action the adverse party makes application to the King County Superior Court for a writ of certiorari, a writ of prohibition, or a writ of mandamus per section 18.72.060 of the Tukwila Municipal Code. McLESTER /EXPANSION OF RESIDENCE Mr. Blaylock presented the staff report explaining that special permission was needed from the Board of Adjustment to expand a non - conforming building. Chairman Duffie opened the discussion and asked if there were any members of the public wishing to speak for the project. Bob and Jean Davidson spoke in favor of the proposal. Mrs. Elanor McLester presented a model of the residence and proposed expansion.

The locations shown do not meet the setback requirements of the Code and may or may not meet the size restrictions depending on the face area of the proposed building. The Board of Adjustment will need to know which proposal to consider and do you intend to be present at the meeting to represent your interest? The request for variance as applied for.is for setback only and the Board of Adjustment will probably not consider such items as size and /or adver- tising material.

VARIANCE TO SIGN CODE: TERRANOMICS CORPORATION Mr. Pieper read the staff report. Mr. Goe asked Mr. Pieper to go over setback requirements for sign size. How can we get the reduced height on that sign placed in an area that meets the setback requirements? Mr. Pieper explained different locations the sign could be placed and the required setbacks for each location. Required parking spaces, landscaping area and subdivision of property was dis- cussed. There was a discussion regarding a sign of similar height located within a few feet of the property line adjacent to the subject property. Discussion ensued regarding possible locations of sign. There was a discussion - regarding whether or not the sign may become a shared directional sign in the future. There was a discussion regarding whether or not the problem of where to place the sign was created by the applicant due to where they placed the building on the property. Miss Morgan mentioned her concern regarding sign clutter along Southcenter Park- way. There was a discussion regarding visual obstructions created by low standing signs and potential traffic problems. Board of Adjustment Minutes Page 2 5 April 1979 MOTION BY MISS MORGAN AND SECONDED BY MR. DUFFIE TO GRANT THE VARIANCE ON THE SIGN BASED ON THE FACT THAT THE PROPERTY IS UNUSUAL AND THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE WHERE THE SIGN FITS THE CONFIGURATION. There was a discussion on whether or not the McDonald sign was in violation of the Sign Code. Mr. Pieper said in his opinion it is in violation. The Board members and Mr. Pieper discussed variance criterias. Mr. Goe stated he was opposed to granting the variance. Mr. Pieper mentioned the applicant requested that if the Board had any problems with approving this variance that they would like the Board to table the applica- tion. MISS MORGAN WITHDREW THE MOTION TO GRANT THE VARIANCE AND MR. DUFFIE WITHDREW THE SECOND TO THE MOTION. MOTION BY MISS MORGAN AND SECONDED BY MR. GOE TO TABLE THIS VARIANCE APPLICATION UNTIL THE MAY MEETING. Miss Morgan requested Mr. Pieper measure the McDonald sign. Discussion ensued regarding the location of sign, setbacks and building location. MOTION CARRIED. Mr. Duffie mentioned the next meeting of the Board of Adjustment is scheduled for May 3, 1979 at 8:00 p.m. There was a discussion regarding the sign being used as a shared directional sign. There was a discussion on how the Pacific Stereo sign was put up without a variance. Mr. Pieper explained how the present Pacific Stereo sign was installed. He mentioned the sign was temporary until a variance was approved. Discussion ensued regarding the Pacific Stereo sign. Miss Morgan requested Mr. Pieper consult with legal counsel to determine City's position dealing with the history of the variance application. OTHER BUSINESS Mr. Goe mentioned there was a real estate sign on Southcenter Parkway that was not legal size. Mr. Pieper said no temporary sign permit was issued for it. He said he would ask the owner to take the sign down or to apply for a sign permit. Mr. Duffie requested Mr:Pieper ask the owner to remove the sign than he can apply for a sign permit.

CITY OF TUKWILA BUILDING DIVISION BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT STAFF REPORT : Variance to Sign Code CRITERIA FOR GRANTING VARIANCE /CONCLUSIONS: 5 April 1979 8:00 P.M. REQUEST: Variance from section 19.32.070 (setback) APPLICANT: Terranomics Corporation, 333 Pine Street, San Francisco, California 94104 LOCATION: 16425 Southcenter Parkway INTRODUCTION: The plans for the proposed free standing sign have been reviewed by the Building Division for compliance with Title 19 of the Tukwila Municipal Code. The pro- posed sign meets code requirements relative to design and size. The proposed location of the sign does not meet the setback requirements of Section 19.32.070 of the Tukwila Municipal Code. The applicant has applied for a variance from the setback requirements listed in Section 19.32.070 . FINDINGS: 1. The proposed sign is a double faced sign 7' x 14' or 98 square feet each face. The height of the proposed sign is 35' feet. I. The variance shall not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitation upon uses of other properties in the vicinity and in the zone in which the property on behalf of which the application was filed is located; Conclusion: A sign of similar height is located within a few feet of the property line adjacent to subject property. Therefore no special privilege would be granted by this variance. 2. That such variance is necessary because of special circumstances relating to the size, shape, topography, location or surrounding of the subject property, to provide it with use rights and privileges permitted to other properties in the vicinity and in the zone in which the subject property is located; Board of Adjustment (7 Staff Report Page 2 5 April 1979 Conclusion: The size and shape of the subject property does impose some difficulty in sign placement. A sign placed in a location meeting setback requirements would tend to obstruct the use of the property or increase visual clutter. 3. That the special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant; Conclusion: The conditions and circumstances have not resulted from the actions of the applicant as the narrow configuration of the lot was not caused by the land owner through subdivision or other land use action. 4. That the granting of such variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and in the zone in which the subject property is situated; Conclusion: The public welfare will not be affected and no injury to adjoining property is anticipated. 5. The authorization of such variance will not adversely affect the imple- mentation of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan; Conclusion: The Comprehensive Land Use Plan will not be affected by this proposal. 6. That the granting of such a variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant possessed by the owners of other properties in the same zone or vicinity. Conclusion: The granting of this variance would help the property owner in the orderly developement of the property. ANALYSIS: Due to the relatively narrow dimension of the lot the location of a free stand- ing sign of any height meeting the setback requirements will either be ineffec- tive as an advertising medium or will decrease the visual attractiveness of the area. RECOMMENDATION: The evidence indicates that the request is borderline in nature and the granting or denial of the request should be based on whether or not the exact wording of the Code, or the intent of the Code, be followed. Example: The sign could be re- duced in height and placed in an area meeting setback requirements. A variance would then not be required. The sign would then meet the strict wording of the Code. However this would place the sign in a driveway area, building entrance area, between parking stalls or in the landscape area adjacent to the street. Any of the potential locations would tend to violate the intent and purpose of the Code namely Section 19.04.020 which states: The purposes of this code are: 1. To establish standards and guidelines for the design, erection and installa- tion of signs and visual communication devices so that the streets of Tukwila may appear orderly, and safety may be increased by reduction of clutter and distraction; Board of Adjustment Staff Report Page 3 5 April 1979 2. To establish administrative procedures for the implementation of this code; 3. The regulations of this code are not intended to permit any violation of the provisions of any other applicable federal, state or local regulations. (Ord. 773 S002, 1973). If the purpose and intent of the Code is the deciding factor the Board may wish to approve the variance based on the above criteria. If the strict wording of the Code is the deciding factor the Board may wish to deny the variance. Electrical Products Corporation Mr. Al Pieper Building Division City of Tukwila 6230 South Center Blvd. Tukwila, WA 98188 Dear Mr. Pieper: RS:ep c. c. Campbell Neon, Seattle, WA Terranomics, San Francisco, CA CBS Retail Stores, Emeryville, CA February 6, 1979 o-4 Pacific Stereon Variance / 64 Rob Scafe Account Manager 950 - 30th Street, Oakland, CA 94608 -- P. O. Box 23444, Oakland, CA 94623 -- Phone (415) 655 -9300 Attempting to comply with the variance application, I have had to work with the Developer to obtain the necessary information. He has informed me that there are some site changes being made and that the sign in question is to be moved. The site changes will require your review, as well as the sign variance. In an attempt to reduce the time involved to consider these changes, we would likeito be granted a 30 -day extension. This will allow us to submit all the new data to the Developer so he can submit the changes for approval at the same time. Your consideration would be most helpful. Best regards, C Bob Scafe Account Manager Electric Product Corp. 950 - 30th Street Oakland, California 94608 CITY of TUKWILA OFFICE of COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT February 13, 1979 1979 concerning the variance I have received your letter dated February for the Pacific Stereo sign. The Tukwila Municipal code section 19.24 does not have provisions for the type of sign presently installed as a temporary sign. The sign permit that was to authorize the sign stipulated a setback equal to the height of the sign. The present location of the sign does not allow the proper setback. In order to resolve the problem in time for opening day and to permit an advertising medium I allowed the sign on a temporary basis subject to either a variance being granted or removal of the sign. Recognizing the possible conflict with the time needed to put together a variance application and the meeting dates of the board of adjustment I' granted the temporary sign untill March 1,'1979. This would allow ample time to process a variance application for the March 1, 1979 board of adjustment meeting in case the February 1, 1979 meeting date could not be met. I see no need to grant a further extension as the existing temporary permit is not covered in the code. Temporary signs that are allowed by code are restricted to a 30 day period. As of March 1, 1979 the subject sign will have been in place well over 60 days. Therefore I have been more than generous in my efforts to find a solution to the setback requirements. As a result of the above data and to comply with section 19.21.010 of the Tukwila Municipal code the sign must be removed at the expiration of the temporary permit March 1. 1979 unless a variance granted by the board of adjustment. 6230 Southcenter Boulevard • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • (206) 242 -2277 AP /dp Based on information contained in your letter of February 6, 1979 I would not expect the board of adjustment to grant a variance. Recap: The 30 day extension requested in your letter of February 6, 1979 is denied and the sign is to be removed by March 1, 1979. Section 19.24.010 of the Tukwila Municipal code is enclosed for your convenience. TUKWILA BUILDING DEPARTMENT Al Piepe Building Official Pg. 2 V - APPLICATION FOR.
