Reference is made to my letter to you dated March 21, 1979 and to the minutes
of the Short Subdivision Committee meeting on April 19, 1979 regarding the
necessary steps required of you to obtain a certificate of occupancy for the
building now constructed and final approval of the Short Plat (MF ;#78- 29 -55)
presently before us and a building permit for the property on the northwest
corner of Southcenter Blvd. and 53rd Avenue South.
1. From the Public Works Department point of view, we are authorizing
the Building Department to issue a certificate of occupancy for the
building constructed under Permit No. 1540. You should be aware,
however, that the storm sewer damage referenced in my March 21 letter
to you has not been repaired and this facility is not acceptable to
the City. We note that the remedy agreed to in order to repair the
damaged storm drain is to completely replace it in conjunction with
the required street improvement of the west side of 53rd Avenue South
adjacent to and for the full length of the property this building is
situated upon.
2. Final approval of the Short Plat which is presently before the Short
Subdivision Committee has been extended.six months per the attached
minutes. This extension is to allow you to develop engineered con-
struction plans for approval by the City for improvement, to City
standards, of the west side of 53rd Avenue South as stated above in
paragraph 1 and also to complete construction to acceptance by the
City witin the six -month extension period or post a bond in the amount
of one hundred fifty percent (150 %) of the estimated construction cost
stating that construction of the road improvements will be started .
within six months from the date of filing of the Short Plat and be
completed within one year of same date. The bond will be to the City
of Tukwila and provide that the City shall commence and /or complete
the work if either the specified commencement or completion dates

are not met. Also included under _the .requirements of this item is
the completion of the private access road north of 53rd Avenue South.
3. From the point of view of the Public Works Department,engineering
plans must be prepared and approved for the improvement of the west
side of 53rd Avenue South adjacent to and for the full length of the .
parcel of property on the northwest corner of 53rd Avenue South and
Southcenter Blvd. before a building permit is issued for the building
on this parcel. The required improvements must be completed before
any building on this parcel is occupied.
I trust this summarizes and agrees with the understanding you .have = .regarding the
certificate of occupancy for the existing development and any future development.
If there are any questions or if I may of further assistance, please do not
hesitate to call me.

Dear Mr. Aiton:
March 21; 1979
Yesterday, March 20, I had occasion to visit your office building
project on 53rd Avenue South.
Your subcontractor, Valley Cement, was in the process of resinstalling
a 12" culvert, which ran across the front of your property. This
damaged culvert, which was previously installed, was exposed and quite
heavily damaged. Valley Cement was in the process of reinstalling
the culvert in its damaged condition. It was explained to me that
this was being done as a temporary measure, to allow drainage to
take place while they placed a rock working surface off the travel
right -of -way to allow them to build a wall.
• They assured me that the damaged culvert would be replaced in its
total length across the front of your property when their work was
finished. I agreed to this temporary condition, but please aware
that this culvert is substandard and only temporary, and must be
replaced before a certificate of occupancy is issued for the office
building presently under construction.
If there are any questions regarding this, please do not hesitate .
to call.

DING AND DEVELOPMENT PLANS:( AI OT N OFFICE BUILDING #2
--
Mr. Blaylock read the staff report, a letter from Mr. Carl Dummann of Caveness
Engineers, and eight possible conditions if the Planning Commission wanted to
consider approving the project.
Mr. Dummann objected to two points of the recommended eight staff conditions.
First, the crushed rock should not be put on parking area until just before the
parking lot is paved. Secondly he did not understand the references to 5 and
12% slopes in the parking area.
Mrs. Avery asked how will trucks use the loading zone. Mr. Dummann responded
that the trucks will maneuver to parallel the long access and the double glass
service doors and dock will be elevated about four feet; thus, it will be a dock
high arrangement.
Discussion of the development plans centered on the triangular piece of property
to the north and slope of the parking lot.
MOTION BY MR. RICHARDS AND SECONDED BY MRS. AVERY TO APPROVE THE PLAN AS SUBMITTED
TONIGHT (22 MARCH 1979) WITH THE CONDITION THAT THE BUILDING ELEVATIONS CONFORM TO
THE PLANS ORIGINALLY SUBMITTED WITH MINOR ADJUSTMENTS.
1. THE BUILDING SHALL BE SPRINKLERED FOR FIRE PROTECTION.
2. AN ENGINEERED FILL AND DRAINAGE PLAN SHALL BE SUBMITTED TO THE CITY OF
TUKWILA FOR APPROVAL PRIOR TO THE ISSUANCE OF THE BUILDING PERMIT.

DEVELOPMENT PLANS: SEGALE PROJECT #791 -T
Mr. Blaylock read the staff report and explained that the site plan on the wall
was different from that reviewed in the staff report.
Mr. Crumbaugh, speaking for the M. A. Segale Company, began a presentation asking
a question of staff whether a sidewalk had to be put in along 180th Street.
Mr. Blaylock responded that the Sidewalk Plan adopted in 1977 required a sidewalk
along South 180th Street.
Mr. Crumbaugh asked which side of 180th Street is the sidewalk supposed to go on?
Mr. Richards objected to the presentation of Mr. Crumbaugh and he stated that the
Planning Commission was given an exhibit, which we are supposed to be dealing
with tonight and it appears to indicate a sidewalk. Therefore, the question is
kind of asinine. The discussion should center on the proposed plan as submitted
and not on the legal question.
Mr. Crumbaugh stated that a sidewalk has been shown and it is intended to place
a sidewlak in that area aong 180th Street. The question is that the staff report
tells us to put the sidewalk in a certain place. We are trying to give things
that we do not feel are required and I do not like the attitude of the report
that tells us to give more than what is required.
Mr. Richards asked Mr. Crumbaugh which site plan are we discussing, this one
that was originally submitted or some other one?
Mr. Crumbaugh stated that he wanted to propose another site plan to the Commission.
Mr. Richards objected to the policy of last minute presentation of plans. He wanted
a specific plan to review not three or four possible plans.
Mr. Crumbaugh presented an ammended plan for review. The plan showed a revised
access onto Andover Park West.

CITY OF TUKWILA
PLANNING DIVISION
PLANNING COMMISSION
STAFF REPORT
22 March 1979 8:00 P.M.
VELOPMENT PLANS: Aiton Office Building #
A site plan has been submitted by Mr. Tom Aiton • ocated
on the southwest corner of 53rd Avenue South and Southcenter Boulevard. Building
#2 contains approximately 10,000 square feet of floor space to be utilized for
offices. The building will be built on two levels. The finished elevation for
the lower level will be the same level as the first building constructed.
FINDINGS:
1. Offices are an allowed use in the C -2 District.
2. Thirty -seven (37) parking spaces are being provided on site.
3. The plans of the parking lot show the parking spaces at 9 feet by 20 feet with
25 -foot wide, one -way aisles. The average grade is twelve (12) percent.
4. Access is provided around the building to service doors on the south and west.
5. A loading zone is provided adjacent to the first level in the event a commercial
use occupies the building.
6. A landscape strip of five (5) feet is provided around the perimeter of the lot,
except on the east side where it is 10 feet.
7. The lower portion of the lot is swamp; it has been used as a garden for decades
and the soils have a very high proportion of organic matter. Fill will be
required to raise the parking lot.
8. The curb -cut is designed as 30 -feet wide and 40 feet from the intersection.
9. The plans show a ten (10) foot widening of 53rd Avenue South.
10. Along the eastern boundary of the lot are several large trees, including firs
and birches.
11. Development of Building #1 has resulted in major problem of using the street
for a construction staging area.
12. On -site inspection of Building #1 revealed possible construction problems
related to soil stability.
13. The property immediately north of site, but south of Southcenter Boulevard is
zoned unclassified; thus, R -1 restrictions apply.
Planning Commission Page 2
Staff Report 22 March 1979
CONCLUSIONS:
1. Ordinance #809 which rezoned the property in 1973 allows office as does the C -2
zoning; however, other commercial uses are specifically delineated. Any business
license is reviewed for compliance at the time of application.
2. Parking provided exceeds what is required by TMC 18.56 for both commercial and
office uses. Thirty -one (31) spaces would be required for an office and twenty -
five (25) spaces for commercial uses.
3. The loading zone is not necessary, but it complies in case the building is used
for retail per TMC 18.56.210.
4. The landscaping complies with the requiremets of Ordinance #809 except for that
portion at the northeast corner of the property where a ten (10) foot wide strip
is required along Southcenter Boulevard. In addition, a solid screen planting
or decorative obscuring fence will be required along the lot's northern property
line adjacent to the R -1 property.
5. The thirty (30) foot curb cut is too wide per TMC 18.56.040 (maximum 24 feet)
eventhough Ordinance #809 suggests that it can be up to thirty (30) feet in
width. The most stringent requirement applies, plus it should relocate as far
south as possible to increase the distance between the curb -cut and intersection.
6. The dedication of ten.(10) feet is complied with as required by Ordinance #809.
7. The swampy portion of the site will require a large amount of fill. The use
demands that it be able to support the weight of moving and parked automobiles
and trucks. Therefore, an engineered fill.should be required.
8. The depth of the parking stalls do not comply with proposed standards. They
would have to be increased to 21 feet. On the other hand, the aisles are wider
than necessary. Therefore, the aisle can be reduced and the stall depth increased.
However, the major problem is the 12% slope of the parking lot. Proposed maximum
grade for off - street parking in the City of Tukwila is 5%. The grade is created
because the developer plans to place an access road around the building.
9. Eventhough the access drive around the building allows for traffic circulation
and emergency access, it eliminates all the natural vegetation on the site. Soil
stability and the aesthetics of buffering are negatively impacted. The necessity
of the access drive is questionable. An alternative would be to require the
building to be sprinklered. This would in turn save the natural vegetation and
reduce the slope of the parking lot.
10. In general the development proposed for the site does not consider all the environ-
mental- and site characteristics. The vegetation is entirely removed with no con-
cern of soil erosion and stability. The developer is attempting to bend the site
to a specific building design type.

RECOMMENDATION:
Evidence indicates that alternative solutions are possible and that the applicant
should be advised of the alternatives, particularly where some course of action
apparently unknwon to the applicant might be more advantageous to all concerned.
Therefore, the staff recommends that item be TABLED until the April regular meeting .
to allow the applicant time to submit a revised set of site plans to conform to the
additional following standards:
1. The elimination of the access road around the building, which will require
that the building be sprinklered.
2. The location of trees to be retained along the western property line.
3. Screening of R -1 property to the north.
4. Reduction of curb -cut to 24 feet and relocation at least 80 feet south
of the intersection.
5. That the parking surface be redesigned to a maximum slope of 5 %.

Mr. Tom Aiton has retained Cavness Engineers, Inc. to design
the site and grading plan for his proposed office building
located at the Southwest corner of 53rd Avenue South and South -
center Boulevard. The purpose of this letter is to present the
results of the survey and soils investigation done on the site
and to propose solutions to the problems expected during the
construction of this project.
The site slopes up to the West from 53rd Avenue South at an
existing slope of thirteen percent and is primarily covered
with grass. Several large conifers are located along the West
and North property lines. Three test holes were dug on the site,
one in the building area and two in the proposed parking area.
An Engineering Geologist supervised the test hole digging and
recorded the soil classifications and ground water levels.
Twenty -four hours later, the ground water levels were observed
again.
The results of this investigation indicate that the site is
suitable for the proposed use. The specific engineering re-
quirements for the development of this site include removing
the topsoil to a depth of one -to -two feet, design and installa-
tion of subsurface interceptor drains, and design and supervi-
sion of an engineered fill under the proposed parking lot.
A part of the Developer Extension Agreement requires Mr. Aiton
to widen and improve 53rd Avenue South to City of Tukwila stan-
dards. This street will be designed in conjunction with the
site design.
During construction of the first building, a number of local
citizens voiced complaints concerning construction equipment
and mud in the street. While these problems normally occur
Planning Commission
March 22, 1979
Page 2
during the course of any construction project, it is recommended
that site work be accomplished in phases. The first phase would
entail stabilizing the parking lot area by installing the required
subsurface drains, removing unsuitable soils and filling to sub-
grade. If weather permits, the building footings could also be
installed at this time. During this phase, all of the required
equipment has off -road capability so little congestion will be
expected. During actual building construction, this parking area
will serve as a staging area and again limit congestion on the
roadway. A suitable method of temporary erosion control should
be installed to prevent soil and silt from entering the existing
drainage system. This can be accomplished with the installation
of straw bale filters and /or temporary siltation ponds. This
should be maintained until all possibility of on -site erosion
is past and the permanent landscaping is installed.
The planning staff has recommended a maximum grade of five percent
in the parking lot. In our experience, parking lot grades have
been acceptable at fourteen percent and grades to twelve percent
are not uncommon.
Subject to the above considerations, it is suggested that the
Planning Commission approve Mr. Aiton's application. We will be
happy to work with the Planning and Building Department staff
regarding actual implementation of the design and construction
of this project. ._ -__)
