Berger Landscapers, said the alternates have been approved and they will be installed. He said they would work with the City staff on the screen on the east site. Mr. James asked why they were required to plant down to Southcenter Boulevard when the Schneider Building and the City Hall were not required to do so. Al Pieper, Building Official, said the Public Works Department originally planned to develop Southcenter Boulevard in 1979 and by widening the street, the ings of the Schneider Building and City Hall would come to the edge of the improved street. The improvement will not take place until 1980 and when it is done the planting will be to the edge of Southcenter Boulevard. Mr. Kirsop said all of the alternatives have been approved and will be taken care of which will include all of recommendations 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7.

The location and screening of the dumpster was discussed. W. Simpson said the dumping of the dumpster is done at night so it does not interfere with traffic in the parking lot.

CI T Y OF TUKWILA PLANNING DIVISION PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT 23 August 1979 8:00 P.M. AGENDA ITEM . VI A LANDSCAPE PLANS: Xerox Building A detailed landscape and irrigation plan prepared by Thomas L. Berger, Landscape Architect, has been submitted for the Xerox Building located at 6400 Southcenter Boulevard. The proposed landscape plan is very complicated and consists of one group of plants to be installed initially and 5 "additive alternates" to be installed if or when the development budget allows. There are also 4 "additive alternates" to the irrigation plan. More information regarding the inclusion of "additive alternates" will be available from the Landscape Architect when the B.A.R. meets, as project bids will have been received by then. The planting to be installed initially includes 7 Norway Maple trees and a ground cover of barren strawberry plants to be located in a parking island in the upper parking lot at the north end of the site. To the west of the entrance to the site, a planting area is proposed to contain a sawleaf zelkova tree with rhododendrons and doublefile viburnums around it and a barren strawberry groundcover. To the south and east of the building, planting areas are proposed which will con- sist mainly of lawn areas and flowering cherry trees. A landscape area on the west side of the building is to be planted with Western Hemlock trees, cut leaf sumac bushes and a barren strawberry ground cover. The largest variety of planting is to occur on the north side of the building where such plants as western hemlock, rhododendron, azalea, vine maple, yoshino cherry, viburnum, and ground covers of dwarf periwinkle or barren strawberry are proposed. A groundcover of English ivy is proposed for a landscape strip on the east site boundary and no planting is proposed for the strip along the south site edge which faces Southcenter Boulevard. The proposed irrigation plan covers all planting areas except along Southcenter Boulevard. However, some parts of the irrigation plan are additive alternates and may or may not be installed depending on the budget. The location of the dumpster was not approved with the site plan. It has now been moved from the previous location in the northwest corner of the site to just south of the upper parking lot along the west site edge. A list of the additive alternates follows: RECOMMENDATION: Planning Commission Page 2 Staff Report 23 August 1979 1. A grouping just north of the building. Includes 3 winterhazel, 12 rhododen- dron, 41 azalea, 5 double file viburnum. 2. A landscape strip along the southwest edge of the site. Includes 6 rhododen- dron, 12 azalea, 14 staghorn sumac, 77 rock rose. (Alt. 6is irrigation for this area.) 3. A landscape strip that runs along the entire northern edge of the site.
