This recommenda- tion was based on my error with respect to the status of your landscape plan approvals by the Board of. Architectural Review -- their review was conducted on 26 July 1979 and a planting plan was approved. Accordingly, I have asked the Building Official to proceed with a temporary occupancy certificate (see attachment). According to our conversation this afternoon with Mr. Crumbaugh, the london plane trees on the 180th Street frontage of the site cannot be installed before mid- october; if you will notify us when these trees are placed, we can then follow- through with a clear certifi- cate of occupancy. Please disregard my letter of 29 August 1979, and accept my apologies for any inconveniences which it may have caused.

Existing street trees are relocated behind the sidewalk, . and street trees are installed on the 180th Street frontage of the site. 2. Applicants must submit landscape plan for B.A.R. approval prior to occupancy. The foregoing are conditions of the Planning Commission, imposed at the . time of project approval. April 12, 1979 Mr. Dick Kirsop, Chairman Tukwila Planning Commission 6200 Southcenter Blvd. Tukwila, Washington 98188 SUBJECT: Segale Project #791T Dear Dick: In accordance with your recommendations as presented at the regular meeting March 22, 1979, we are furnishing to you a revised site plan which conforms to our verbal presentation. We have not included landscaping along the south and west perimeters of this temporary facility as both Mr. Blaylock and ourselves feel that additional queing area for drive -up window traffic may be required on site, thus necessitating additional site expansion. By eliminating any landscaping restriction, we will be in a position to provide a more timely response to additional queing area should it become necessary. We trust this proposal will meet with your approval. Very truly yours, SEGALE BUSS SEGALE BU PARK S PARK B:lmp Enclosure cc: Mr. Roger Blaylock P.O.

JIN Planning Commissio .5 nutes 26 April 1979 Page 4 unused streets have been used for trails and various parts of the City have been connected by the trails. The area of Allentown would be in the 6 year street program. The City regards Allentown as a residential area. Chairman Kirsop said the commitment of the City to improve the residential environment has been evidenced by the purchase of the Foster Golf Course. Mr. Wills asked if the improvements spoken of would be paid by L.I.D.s or by the City of Tukwila? Fred Satterstrom said the 6 year street program is at City expense, also the trails and recreation. He said the zoning will not involve the property owner in any money. He said he could not speak for other improvements the community might demand. Wayne Matthews, audience, said because he has a vacant lot he is in favor of sewers. He asked how soon could they anticipate sewers in the area? Chairman Kirsop said he would guess in five years or so the area will be largely sewers. Mr. Matthews asked about the City feeling toward sewers. Chairman Kirsop said the City is tied to King County Health Department. Mr. Garnett asked if the federal governmnet proposed financing for the sewers? Chairman Kirsop said federal funds are not as available as they used to be. Mr. Swanson, audience, asked about the radish patch that is owned by King County. He asked what will happen to that, will it be annexed? Fred Satterstrom said it is in the annexation area, King County will own it but Tukwila will maintain it as a park. Chairman Kirsop said since there were no further questions, the Public Hearing would be closed at 9:36 p.m. MOVED BY RICHARDS, SECONDED BY SOWINSKI, THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMEND THE CITY COUNCIL ADOPT THE PROPOSED ZONING PATTERN FOR THE ALLENTOWN AREA AS GENERALLY SHOWN IN EXHIBIT I OF THE STAFF REPORT AND AS MORE SPECIFICALLY ILLUSTRATED IN THE MAP ENTITLED "PROPOSED ZONING FOR THE POTENTIAL ALLENTOWN ANNEXATION AREA" INCLUDED IN PLANNING DIVISION FILE MF 79- 11 -CA, SAID ZONING TO BECOME EFFECTIVE UPON ANNEXATION TO THE CITY OF TUKWILA. * Mr. Richards remarked that most of the questions asked by the residents of Allentown were about the sewer rather than the zoning. He stated the annexation will not cause any difference in sewage. Chairman Kirsop remarked there were no objections to the zoning plan map as proposed and the majority of the discussion was related to the sewer problems. Mr. Richards remarked that the truck traffic was discussed. He said it seemed to him the Burlington- Northern trucks should be rerouted as suggested. *MOTION CARRIED.

He said specific plans have been presented for the treatment of South 180th Street and the location of the sidewalk and the landscaping. Chris Crumbaugh, representing the M. A. Segale Company, said he had no conflict with the Staff Report. Mr. Richards said this site plan shows two signs that are apparently free standing, • Planning Commission Minutes 26 April 1979 Page 5 Roger Blaylock said they should not be approved in this site plan. They will have to be approved by the sign code. He said the curb cuts will have to be reviewed by the Public Works Department. Mr. Sowinski noted the trees are spaced 40 feet apart. Roger Blaylock said the Segale landscaping has been 40 feet apart for trees. Mrs. Avery said in walking the area she thought 30 feet spacing would be much too close. She said the trees are over the sidewalks and she likes the way they are planted. They are quite large trees and if they were 30 feet apart they would be too close. MOVED BY RICHARDS, SECONDED BY SOWINSKI, THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVE THE DEVELOPMENT PLANS WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: (1) THAT THE TREES BE RELOCATED TO THE BACKSIDE OF THE SIDEWALK. (2) THAT IN THE CASE OF A TRAFFIC PROBLEM ON PUBLIC RIGHT -OF -WAY RESULTING FROM THE QUEING OF AUTOMOBILES FOR THE DRIVE -IN TELLER, THE DEVELOPER WILL PROVIDE AN ADDITIONAL DRIVE -IN TELLER WINDOW AND QUEING LANE, IF DETERMINED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS AS A POSSIBLE SOLUTION.

(2) THAT THE REQUIRED NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES FOR EACH BUILDING BE USEABLE. THE PLANNING DIVISION IS GIVEN THE AUTHORITY TO ADJUST THE LOCATION OF THE PARKING BETWEEN THE BUILDING DEPENDING UPON INDIVIDUAL TENANT IMPROVEMENTS. MOTION CARRIED. Mr. Blaylock suggested two or three additional items on the agenda be considered at this time, although the Staff Reports were not included in the agenda package. Mr. Sowinski and Mrs. Avery felt it was unfair to consider the items at this time since the Commissioners did not have the material. CITY OF TUKWILA PLANNING DIVISION PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT 26 April 1979 8:00 P.M. AGENDA ITEM VI A DEVELOPMENT PLANS: Segale Project #791 -T Development plans have been submitted by the Mario A. Segale Company for a temporary bank building to be located on the southwest corner of the intersection of Andover Park West and South 180th Street. A permanent structure will be constructed on the southeast corner of the same intersection. FINDINGS: 1. The plans call for the construction of a 1,344 square foot building with parking for 16 cars to be used for a bank. 2. A design of the drive up teller window in the bank allows for the stacking of nine (9) cars. 3. Access is proposed to both Andover Park West and South 180th Street. The curb - cut on Andover Park West is 250 feet from the intersection. The 45 angled 17 -foot wide access lanes on South 180th Street eliminate left turn traffic movements. The entrance is located west of traffic controler so it will not trip the signals, while the exit is located east of the first traffic controler assuring that the timing of the signal is correct. 4. The property is zoned M -2. Across South 180th Street to the north the property is zoned C -M. To the east, west and south the property is zoned M -2. 5. The development plans forthe bank (Exhibit A) show the existing raised landscap- ing on the northeast corner of the site at the main entrance to the Segale Business Park. A landscaping strip of fifteen (15) feet in width is shown along both Andover Park West and South 180th Street. Five (5) to six (6) feet of the landscaping is located on the public right -of -way for South 180th Street. 6. The development plans (Exhibit C) for the sidewalk and landscaping along South 180th Street west of the immediate bank site call for six (6) feet of land- scaping (lawn) on public right -of -way, a five (5) foot wide washed aggregate sidewalk, and a five (5) foot landscaped strip behind the sidewalk. 7. The sidewalk along Andover Park West is completed. It is similar to the proposed sidewalk along South 180th Street. 8. The development plans show trees placed on approximately 40 foot centers along both Andover Park West and South 180th Street. The trees are shown located in the sidewalk along the front edge. The existing landscaping along Andover Park West has utilized London Plane Trees of approximately 21 to 3 inches in diameter and 12 to 15 feet in heighth. It is anticipated that similar trees will be used along South 180th Street. h Planning Commission Page 2 Staff Report 26 April 1979 9. Landscaping is not shown on the south and west sides of the bank. CONCLUSIONS: 1. The bank is an allowed use in the M-2 district and parking is provided in excess of that required by TMC. 2 Any drive -up window can result in the possible back up of traffic. In most cases it would appear that nine (9) spaces proposed for queuing would be adequate. However, the 1st and 15th days of the month may create an enormous demand on the bank's facilities where traffic may back up and block the entrance on South 180th Street. The lack of landscaping on the west and south sides of the site was discussed in response to the possible addition of a second drive -in window if demand exceeded capacity. 3. The points of access onto both Andover Park West and South 180th Street have been carefully reviewed by both the Public Works Department and our traffic consultant. They are satisfied with the locations and design. 4. TMC 18.56.055 requires a special landscaping strip of fifteen (15) feet when M -2 property is across a public wa- from C -M property. The applicant has provided sixteen (16) feet of landscaping and sidewalk of which six (6) feet is on the public right. -of -way for South 180th Street. The right -of -way for South 180th Street is seventy -two (72) feet and the present paving of sixty (60) Would allow five (5) 'twelve (12) foot lanes. Therefore, we do not anti- cipate any immediate widdening of South 180th Street. 5. Eventhough South 180th Street will probably not be widdened, the landscaping could be dramatically affected if wideening did occur. The London Plane trees placed on the street side of the sidewalk might have to be replaced. Their location could also create a sight clearance problem. The same boule- vard affect could be obtained by placing the trees on the backside of the sidewalk. RECOMMENDATION: The staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the development plans with the following conditions: 1. That the trees be relocated to the backside of the sidewalk. ?, That in the case of a traffic problem on public right -of -way resulting from the queuing of automobiles for the drive =in teller, the developer will pro- vide an additional drive -in teller window and queuing lane, if determined by the Department of Public Works as a possible solution. 3. That a detailed landscape plan be approved by the Board of Architectural Review prior to occupancy.

It appears that the minutes are not a verbatum transcript but rather a paraphrasing of major points of discussion. This is a standard practice of bodies which hold lengthy and involved meetings. There are several points which I ask to be included in the record of the review of development plans for Segale Project 791 -T. 1. Mr. Segale was offering on his own initiative to install sidewalks and large trees all the way along the east side of South 180th Street from Andover Park West to his western property line near Southcenter Parkway. That Mr. Segale made this offer at no cost to the city and that installation would be without regard to timing of development. 2. That we indicated in other locations throughout the city public right -of -ways are being used for sidewalks and that we were proposing instead putting a grass landscape strip on the street right -of -way and then a sidewalk behind the grass strip. 3. That we indicated we were attempting to work these installations out with the city within the requirements and intent of the T.M.C. P.O.

The Commission has been fair and equitable with applicants in the past, and these comments were directed to the specific occurrence and atmosphere of the evening, and not intended to reflect on the Commission as a whole or its performance, which has been superior.

VELOPMENT PLANS: SEGALE PROJECT #791 -TT" 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. Planning Commission Page 4 Minutes 22 March 1979 Mr. Richards objected again because the plan did not comply with the landscaping requirement of TMC. Mr. Crumbaugh stated that this was an oversite of the architect. Mr. Crumbaugh continued discussing the proposed placement of the sidewalk and land- scaping along South 180th Street. The method used is to place five feet of land- scaping on each side of a five foot wide sidewalk. The Planning Commission does not need to consider the width of the landscape area; it only needs to consider where the sidewalk is going to be. Mr. Richards stated that Mr. Crumbaugh was wrong, the developments included the area of the landscaping. Mr. Crumbaugh stated that he was not trying to take an advisary position. He con- tinued stating that in other locations throughout the City public right -of -way is being used for landscaping. Planning Commission discussed the site plan in more detail. Mrs. Avery asked about the location of the drive up window. She expressed her concern about traffic problems and congestion resulting from a banking facility. MOTION BY MR. RICHARDS, SECONDED BY MR. ORRICO TO TABLE THE DEVELOPMENT PLANS TO THE NEXT REGULAR MEETING TO INCLUDE THE LOCATION OF THE SIDEWALK AND LANDSCAPING STRIPS THAT WERE PROPOSED IN THE VERBAL PRESENTATION. IT WAS TO ALSO INCLUDE THE PROPOSED LANDSCAPING ALONG THE SOUTH AND WEST PERIMETERS OF THE SITE AND THAT A SECOND SET OF PLANS BE SUBMITTED TO SHOW THE TOTAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE SIDEWALK AND LANDSCAPING ALONG SOUTH 180TH STREET. MOTION CARRIED. MR. JAMES, MR. ORRICO AND MR. RICHARDS VOTED YES. MRS. AVERY AND MR. SOWINSKI VOTED NO. Mr. Crumbaugh wanted the record to show that, "I did not come up here to make an advisary position, I just made some requests at clarification of the staff. I totally resent what was done to me here tonight. I did not deserve that." DEVELOPMENT PLANS: McCANN PROJECT #464 Mr. Blaylock informed the Planning Commission that the architect, Tom Croonquist, had requested that the item be tabled for revisions until the next meeting.

Mr. Bruce Morgan stated that he agreed with the staff report. 22 March 1979 CITY OF TUKWILA PLANNING DIVISION PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT AGENDA ITEM V C 1 LOPMENT LANS: Swale Pro'ect #791 -T Development plans have been submitted by e ega e Company for a temporary bank building to be located on the southwest corner of the intersection of Andover Park West and South 180th Street. A permanent structure will be constructed on the southeast corner of the same intersection. FACTS: 1. The plans call for the construction of a 1344 square foot building with parking for 16 cars to be used for a bank. 2. A design of the drive up teller window in the bank allows for the stacking of seven (7) cars. 3. Access is proposed to both Andover Park East and South 180th Street. Both curb - cuts would be approximately 120 feet of the intersection. 4. The property is zoned M -2. Across South 180th Street to the north the property is zoned C -M. To the east, west and south the property is zoned M -2. 5. The development plans show the existing raised landscaping on the northeast corner of the site at the main entrance to the Segale Business Park. A land- scaping strip of fifteen (15) in width is shown along both Andover Park West and South 180th Street. Five (5.) feet of the landscaping is located on the public right -of -way for South 180th Street. The southern and western boundaries of the site have a five (5) foot landscaping strip. 6. The sidewalk is located five (5) feet in from the edge of the curb on both Andover Park East and South 180th Street. It physically divides the fifteen (15) feet of landscaping into a five (5) foot wide strip along the curbs and a ten (10) foot strip behind the sidewalk. CONCLUSIONS: 1. The bank is an allowed use in the M -2 district and parking is provided in excess of that required by TMC. 2. Any drive -up window can result in the possible back up of traffic. In most cases it would appear that seven (7) spaces proposed for queuing would be adequate. However, the 1st and 15th days of the month may create an enormous demand on the bank's facilities where traffic may back up and block the entrance on South 180th Street. gre 8:00 P.M. c: Planning Commission Page 2 22 March 1979 Staff Report 3. The access onto South 180th Street will result in possible traffic congestion. A detailed traffic demand analysis has not be completed for the intersection; however, the Department of Public Works has stated that there is a possible conflict with the newly installed traffic light and east /west traffic flow. In all probability until a traffic study is completed, the proposed location of access onto South 180th Street will be denied. However, a 45 degree right - turn entrance -only could be used without creating left turn conflicts on South 180th Street. 4. TMC 18.56.055 requires a special landscaping strip of fifteen (15) feet when M -2 property is across a public way from C -M property. The applicant has provided fifteen (15) feet of landscaping; however, five (5) feet is on pub - lic right -of -way and at sometime in the future South 180th might have to be widened. Therefore, it seems logical that the fifteen (15) feet of landscap- ing be provided on the applicant's property. A question arises whether to consider the sidewalk as a portion of the required landscaping. A sidewalk when placed immediately adjacent to the curb adds to the visible starkness of most streets; however, when a sidewalk is setback from the curb the aesethic impact of the sidewalk is mitigated. In the particular case of Segale Business Park, it appears that sidewalk was to become part of the landscaping. The result has been to create more of a boulevard affect and spaciousness. If the applicant wishes to continue this development pattern, it would appear that the sidewalk be set -back ten (10) feet from the present curb of South 180th Street to allow for the possible future expansion of the street. RECOMMENDATION: The staff recommends, based upon the evidence, that the Planning Commission approve the development plans with the following conditions: 1. That a fifteen (15) foot wide landscaping strip be provided along South 180th Street off of the public right -of -way. (The sidewalk can be counted as part of the landscaping strip, if it is . set back at least five (5) feet off the public right -of -way. 2. That access onto South 180th Street be approved by Public Works. segale land mueller
