RE: Tri -plex Waiver Request Under Ordinance P1109
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Powers:
The Tukwila City Council considered your waiver request for a triplex
during their regular meeting of July 2, 1979. After considerable
deliberation they did vote to deny your waiver request.
After this denial, the Council did pass a motion authorizing a du-plex
waiver on your property should you wish to do so. They placed a height
limit of 25 feet on this waiver.
What this means is that should you choose to build a du -plex on that
lot at this time, you may do so without further review by the City Council.
The Construction must be of comparable quality to the Toltec Builders' du-
plex and tri -plex adjacent to you to the east, or better. The determina-
tion of what is equivalent quality will be made by myself at such time as
you apply for a building permit. Should the quality of exterior materials
be less than the adjacent Toltec Builders' development, these specific
items must go before the City Council for their authorization.
Should you plan on applying for a building permit, you will also be required
to submit the detailed construction drawings of your access easement road to
the Public Works Department in conjunction with your building permit applica-
tion. This road must be constructed to the specifications approved by the
Public Works Department prior to the City authorizing occupancy of the build-
ing.
If you have any further questions on this please don't hesitate to call me.
Very truly yours,

Wa'i ver request

Eby R. & A. Powers
/ for property
located in the
SW quadrant of
the intersection
of S. 151st &

in the area. Council President Bohrer asked if there was discussion
at the Planning Commission level about the areas known as neighborhood
businesses. Kjell Stoknes, OCD Director, said the Planning Commission
felt that under the "grandfather" clause they could continue to exist
as they are under single family, but they could not expand. Fred
Satterstrom, Office Supervisor (OCD), said the Planning Commission fel
the businesses in the Allentown area were declining and there was no
need for commercial zoning. Mayor Bauch said he would like to point
out that at the Planning Commission Public Hearing there was consider-
able input by the people of the area. Most of the people felt the
Planning Commission gave them what they were looking for and that
is the reason they have not come back for additional comment.
MOVED BY SAUL, SECONDED BY HILL, THAT STAFF PREPARE A ZONING ORDINANCE
WHICH RATIFIES THE PROPOSED ZONING CLASSIFICATION TO BECOME
EFFECTIVE IF THE UNINCORPORATED AREA KNOWN AS ALLENTOWN IS ANNEXED
TO THE CITY OF TUKWILA. CARRIED.
Mr. Stoknes stated the proposed zoning ordinance would be considered
at the Committee of the Whole Meeting on July 9, 1979.
Kjell Stoknes, OCD director, explained the location of the property
involved in the waiver request. He said a short plat had recently
divided Lots 7 and 8 of Young's Half Acre Tracts into three lots. The
Powers' development is proposed on Lot 2 of the short plat. Developme
on this site requires a waiver from Section 3.1 of Ordinance No. 1109
because of the inconsistency between the proposed construction of a
triplex and the Low Density Residential land use designation of the
Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map. He said the size of the property is
9,450 square feet, presently zoned RMH, whereas the Comprehensive
Land Use Plan Map indicates it to be low density residential. The
development proposed is a triplex covering 23% of the lot; height of
structure would be 35 feet, built with a wood frame with cedar siding
and cedar shake roof. The recreation area provided is 526 square
feet of covered area and 540 square feet of open area, totalling
1,066 square feet. Required recreation area would be 1,000 square
feet. Mr. Stoknes said this building is similar to that built by
Toltec Builders, although the lot area is 3,000 square feet less. He
said the proposed use meets the open space requirements, it is consis-
tent with the parking requirements and meets the setback requirements.
Mrs. Annabelle Powers said the recreation room is included in the
recreation space and will be used by all three units. She said it
is planned to have it fitted similar to a gym with a jaccuzi and
sauna. Councilman Van Dusen asked what would prevent them from lockir
the doors of the recreation room to the tenants. Mrs. Powers replies
that the recreation facilities would enhance the rentability of the
property. She said they planned to live there. Councilman Saul
asked if the glass being used would be thermopane? Mrs. Powers
replies yes, and it would be bronze toned. She said the units would
be abutting each other and they are considering sound proofing materi.
they will be town house style, double wall construction with masonary
fireplaces and hot water heat.
Mr. Stoknes said there had been no recommendation by Staff on this
waiver request. On the Toltec project there was a public hearing.
This is slightly denser than the Toltec building. He said there is
presently a duplex on Lot 1, the proposed building is for Lot 2,
and there is nothing on Lot 3. The proposed building has been
approved by the Fire Chief. He said there is a 302' road easement
on the east side that will be blacktopped.

following actions shall require a waiver and approval thereof by the City Council
prior to processing of the applicable land use permit by the City:
I. Land Use actions, which are inconsistent with the new Comprehen-
sive Land Use Plan Map.'
2. Proposals for building, grading, clearing, excavation or filling

Section 4. Application Requirements. The City Administration shall

parking area configuration, access points, landscape
areas, and the amount of necessary grading involved.
(2) Renderings of the proposed structure showing the height,
width, and the materials used to finish the exterior of
the building.
(3) A complete waiver application form completely filled in
and signed by the applicant.

ordinance to determine the merits of a waiver request and in their
decision process determining whether to approve or deny said pre-
liminary waiver application. Tentative approval of the City
Council at the preliminary stage does not commit the Council to

Ordinance and Map.

FROM: Kjell Stoknes
DATE: July 2, 1979
SUBJECT: Powers Waiver Request
MEMORANDUM
This memo is to replace the memo to you from Roger Blaylock on the
above subject dated 20 June 1979.
This memo will compare the former Toltec Waiver approved several
years ago by the City Council. The main differences are:
1. Toltec Builders did not come under the recreation open
space ordinance. (They applied prior to its adoption.)
2. Powers makes use of an easement road. (This is interpreted
not to count in the total lot area.)
Attachment: Vicinity Map
Memorandum Page 2
Mayor Bauch July 2, 1979
The preceding chart points out the following items:
1. The density proposed by Powers is significantly higher than Toltec.
2. The quality of exterior finish is better on Powers proposal.
3. The Powers structure is approximately twice as high.
4. The recreation space provided by Powers is significantly less than
the Toltec triplex, but more than the Toltec duplex.
The primary difference between this memo and the one dated 20 June 1979 from
Roger is that this memo does not allow the access road to be counted as part
of the lot area, the other memo does. It should not be counted as lot area.
