He showed samples of a composi- tion roofing material that gives the appearance of shake shingles. With respect to condition 5 he said they are talking about thermal pane glass in wood frames that are stained. Discussion followed about truck deliveries. Mr. Pugh stated the deliveries would be of the small type since the building will house offices. Kjell Stoknes, OCD Director, said his concern is that the building will be dominant on the size of the lot and effort should be made in the selection of exterior wall material should attempt to soften the effect and reduce the visual effect of the building.

CITY OF TUKWILA PLANNING DIVISION PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT REVISED PLANS: Hunti gton Building 8:00 P.M. INTRODUCTION: A revised development plan has been received from the Austin Company for the pro- posed Huntington Building to be located at 65th Avenue South and Southcenter Boule- vard on the northwest corner. The original development plans were reviewed by the Planning Commission at the meeting of 11 July 1979; the item was tabled at that time to allow for the submission of revised plans in keeping with Tukwila Municipal Code standards. REVIEW: Parking: The seventy parking stalls provided for in the development plan satisfy the require- ments of Title 18 of the TMC; the stalls are 19' by 9', with six compact stalls measuring 16' in length. Aisles in the parking areas are 24' wide, and are designed to accommodate two -way traffic. The driveway along the west building wall that connects the north and south parking lots is twenty feet wide, as is the parking lot entrance at the southwest corner. City standards require all two -way access points to be 24' wide. The 20' wide connecting driveway meets city standards. Elevations: The building exterior has not been changed from the plans as originally submitted. The three floor structure is to be finished with plywood siding and stucco; roofing material is shown to be composition shingles. The original development plans did not provide staff with detailed building dimensions showing compliance with TMC 18.28.030, limiting building height to two and one -half stories and thirty -five feet. However, City Ordinance #1055, passed on 17 April 1978, stipulated that the structure to be built on the subject parcel of land "shall not exceed three stories and 35 feet in height irrespective of adjacent zones or struc- tures." It is the opinion of staff that the three story height limitation is an error and that the intent of Ordinance #1055 was to obtain compliance with Title 18 requirements for the C -1 zone, i.e., the restriction of building height to two and one -half stories and 35 feet. The Director of Community Development consulted with the City Attorney regarding this matter; since the ordinance specifically cites the subject property, it is the opinion of the.City Attorney that the applicant has a substantive claim to errect a three -story structure on the site. However, the build- ing is not to exceed thirty -five feet in height as stated in both TMC 18.28.030 and Ordinance #1055. Planning Commission Staff Report Setbacks: The building is to be South; a fifteen foot Southcenter Boulevard the Tukwila Municipal set back 25' from the east property line along 65th Avenue wide landscape strip separates the south parking lot from . Both setbacks are in compliance with the requirements of Code. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the development plans for the Huntington Building be approved subject to the following conditions: t an •oint above T W Page 2 26 July 1979 2. Driveways at access points to be 24' wide; all site access subject to approval by the Public Works Department. Approval of this does not imply approval of access. '37 or wall materials to be cedar si•'•: •r higher grade; no stucco treatmen won ; xterior walls. 4. Roofing material to of -e ar shingles or better. 5. Windows be thermal pane glass set in an e d aluminum frames or r . 6. Submission of a detailed landscape plan to be approved by staff prior to issuance of building permit. Landscaping to be similar in character to developments to the west of subject site. 7. Underground irrigation system in all planting areas.

After considerable discussion of landscaping requirements, setback requirements, height requirements, and parking lot lay- out, the Planning Commission tabled the proposed development plans to their regular July meeting to be held on July 26, 1979. The Planning Commission tabled the item for two reasons. The first was to allow staff an opportunity to review your revised development plans. Secondly, the Planning Commission has requested a legal opinion from the City Attorney as to which height limitation applies to this proposal. By 19 July 1979, please submit three full -sized sets, of all drawings plus reductions to 8h" x 11" of each drawing to the planning staff. Should you have any questions regarding this matter please con- tact me. tfuLly, /, 'red N. atters m lanning Supervisor FNS /ckh cc: OCD Dir. Mayor City of Tukwila Planning Division 6200 Southcenter Boulevard Tukwila, Washington 98188 433 -1845 Office of Community Development - The Huntington Buildi Planning Commission Page 6 Minutes of Cont. June 28, 1979 Meeting July 11, 1979 proposed buildings, in conjunction with the existing buildings, should be adequate for the needs of the tenants. The dimensions of the parking stalls meet the stan- dards applied by the City; the number of parking spaces provided exceeds the City minimum by 59 stalls and parking should be sufficient. Mr. Satterstrom said that staff recommends approval of the. development plans for Building #13 with the condition that architectural screening of all roof - mounted equipment; submission of a detailed landscape plan in conjunction with building permit application, to be approved by planning staff. Landscaping to conform to existing planting scheme in Corporate Square Complex; installation of underground irrigation system in all planting areas. Mr. James said if Boeing is to occupy the building, they can pack a lot of people in a building. Mr. Kirsop asked if Boeing would have desks or equipment type occupations in the building. The architect said there would be a combination of both desk and equipment. There would be a high concentration of executive personnel, there will be meeting rooms and many of them would be travelling most of the time. He said it has been their experience to plan 150 square foot per man and they are planning on the basis of about 200 square feet per man. He said the next building will be Building #11. The lot for that building is being used right now for parking. If Boeing moves out there will not be so much space needed for parking.. Mr. Kirsop asked what Bellevue has done as far as parking is concerned? The archi- tect said Bellevue is looking at parking requirements and they are encouraging car pooling, there is more parking for compact cars. In downtown Bellevue the parking is inadequate. MOVED BY MR. SOWINSKI, SECONDED BY MR. WELSH, THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVE DEVELOPMENT PLANS FOR BUILDING #13 IN SOUTHCENTER CORPORATE SQUARE WITH THE FOLLOW- ING CONDITIONS: (1) ARCHITECTURAL SCREENING OF ALL ROOF - MOUNTED EQUIPMENT; (2) SUB- MISSION OF A DETAILED. LANDSCAPE PLAN IN CONJUNCTION WITH BUILDING PERMIT APPLICA- TION, TO BE APPROVED BY PLANNING STAFF. LANDSCAPING TO CONFORM TO EXISTING PLANTING SCHEME IN CORPORATE SQUARE COMPLEX; (3) INSTALLATION OF UNDERGROUND IRRIGATION SYSTEM IN ALL PLANTING AREAS. MOTION .CA1 DEVELOPMENT PLANS: THE HUNTINGTON BUILDING: Fred Satterstrom, P1..,in• S p isor; ie d he Staff Report, stating plans have been submitted by the Austin Company for the Huntington Office Building to be located on the northwest corner of 65th Avenue South and Southcenter Boulevard. The three floor structure will have a total area of 19,930 square feet. The ex- terior treatment is to be plywood siding and stucco with shingle roofing (type unspecified). Landscaping will border the parking areas along 65th Avenue South and Southcenter Boulevard, with a 7 -foot wide planting strip along Southcenter Boulevard. Parking for the building is shown to be provided for 67 cars to the north and south of the building, the TMC standard requires that a minimum of 65 stalls be provided. The building, as proposed, will be a three floor structure. The eleva- tion drawings submitted indicate that the bottom floor is to be considered a base- ment as defined by the TMC. Building height in the C -1 district is limited to two Planning Commission Page 7 Minutes of Cont. June 28, 1979 Meeting July 11, 1979 and one -half stories or 35 feet. The drawings do not accurately detail the dimen- sions of the proposed building, so its compliance with TMC cannot be accurately determined at this time. Mr. Satterstrom said the site plan for the proposed building indicates that several of the TMC requirements are not fully complied with and the nature of the deficien- cies are such that the site plan will require some major revisions. Therefore, the staff recommends that the item be tabled until the July meeting to allow the appli- cant time to revise the plan so it will conform to the following standards: (1) A minimum width of 24 feet for all two -way driveways in parking area; (2) All parking stall dimensions to conform to third draft standards adopted by the Planning Commis- sion; (3) Graphic detailing of building elevations showing compliance with 211 story limitation; (4) Parking areas along Southcenter Boulevard and 65th Avenue South to be set back 15 feet from property lines; setback area to be landscaped; (5) Submis- sion of detailed landscape plan at time of building permit application, to be approved by planning staff. Landscaping to be similar in character to developments to the west of site. Warren Pugh, architect, said parking has been provided to meet the standards. He said conceptual landscaping plans would be submitted. Mr. Pugh submitted copies of a revised site plan. Mr. Kirsop asked if there was a particular issue about the 21/2 stories versus the 3 stories? Mr. Satterstrom said the TMC does not grant the property owner the right to build a three story building and the City Council cannot grant a variance through the passage of a rezone ordinance. He said he thought they would have no problem in complying with this requirement. It is a problem of detail, the 21/2 stories would be required above the finished grade.* MOVED BY MR. ORRICO, SECONDED BY MR. SOWINSKI, THAT THIS ITEM BE TABLED UNTIL THE REGULAR JULY MEETING TO GIVE STAFF THE OPPURTUNITY TO REVIEW THE REVISED SITE PLAN SUBMITTED AND REQUEST THE CITY ATTORNEY LEGAL OPINION AS TO WHICH OF THE TWO CON- FLICTING SECTIONS APPLY. MOTION CARRIED. *Mr. Pieper, Building Official, said there may be some confusion on the h story, the basement area, and the height. The basement will never get to be 11 story. It is either two stories with basement or three stories. Filling the basement half full would not make it one -half of a story. The total height measured from grade stays the same. LANDSCAPE PLANS: SOUTHCENTER CORPORATE SQUARE - BUILDING #11 - BCS OFFICE BUILDING: Fred Satterstrom read the Staff Report, stating a detailed landscape and irrigation plan prepared by Wilsey & Ham, Inc. has been submitted for Southcenter Corporate Square Building #11 located at 375 Corporate Drive South. He said the proposed landscape plan includes planting close to the building with parking surrounding it and some trees on the site perimeter. There will be two island planters. The plan appears to be in keeping with that of the rest of Southcenter Corporate Square. Mr. Satterstrom said the staff recommends the approval of the landscape plan with the conditions that additional planting be added on the east site edge as buffer and an underground irrigation system be installed. C 11 July 1979 AGENDA ITEM VI F CITY OF TUKWILA PLANNING DIVISION PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DEVELOPMENT PLANS: The Huntington Building 8:00 P.M. INTRODUCTION: Plans have been submitted by the Austin Company for the Huntington Office Building to be located on the Northwest corner of 65th Avenue South and Southcenter Boule- vard. REVIEW: The three floor structure will have a total area of 19,930 square feet. The exterior treatment is to be plywood siding and stucco with shingle roofing (type unspecified). Landscaping will border the parking areas along 65th Avenue South and Southcenter Boulevard, with a 7' wide planting strip along Southcenter Boulevard. Parking for the building is shown to be provided for 67 cars to the north and south of the building; the TMC standard requires that a minimum of 65 stalls be provided. Dimensions for the stalls are 9' x 17' along Southcenter Boulevard with a 2' over- hang at the planting strip; other stalls are 19' long. Driveways in the parking area are 28' wide and are planned to accommodate two -way traffic. Established standards require a 24' driveway for two way parking traffic. Access to the two parking areas will be located at the northeast corner of the site, off of 65th Avenue South, and at the southwest corner off of Southcenter Boulevard.
