MOTION CARRIED 4 -0. • ! r5 19e0 AGENDA ITEM 1 ITEM 2. VI C CITY OF TUKWILA PLANNING DIVISION PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT 8:00 P.M. DEVELOPMENT PLAN - ATTON OFFTCF RIITI nTNG 41 INTRODUCTION The applicants are requesting approval of site, architecture, and landscaping for a 9,300 sq.ft. + office building. The pro - ject is located on a portion of a 3 -lot short subdivision approved in October, 1978. Access to the project is provided through a 40' -wide private roadway easement at the south edge of the site. ANALYSIS - At the Planning Commission meeting of 20 December 1979, the B.A.R. elected not to consider the subject application since the proponent thereof could not be present at that time. Your direction to the applicant was to revise the project site layout (Ex. A) to mitigate concerns expressed in the staff report of 20 December 1979. Exhibit A - 1st revision represents the applicant's response to those matters raised in the staff report. • C-PR The following discussion compares the staff report excerpt with our perception of the adequacy of the applicant's proposed solution: ITEM 1. INADEQUATE. SOUTH ELEVATION SETBACK: TMC 17.28.050 (Subdivision Ordinance) provides "when private access roads are authorized...zoning setbacks (shall) be required as though the easement were a public right -of- way ". The project's C -2 zoning requires a 30' setback from the centerline of the above - mentioned private roadway easement (TMC 18.30.040). Measurement of the required setback would be from street centerline to the nearest point of the roof (TMC 18.06.780); therefore, the building must be shifted northward about 10' from its designated position on Exhibit A. RESPONSE: No redesign proposed on Exhibit A - 1st revision. The applicant indi- cates that he does not agree with staff's interpretation of Title 17, and wishes to debate this matter with the Board. BUILDING ORIENTATION CONFLICT: To conform with the above - described minimum setback requirement. it will be necessary to either reorient the building location on site, or to reesign the parking lot layout once t tomaintain de uate a widths. The proposed "one - way ".traffic flow concept is acceptable to tie Fire ana Pubic Works Departments, subject to resolution of the setback problem. Planning Commission Staff Report RESPONSE: No redesign of Exhibit A - 1st revision, proposed. ITEM 3. INCOMPLETE IMPROVEMENTS TO, AND PROJECT UTILIZATION OF THE PRIVATE ROADWAY EASEMENT: Exhibit A does not indicate completion of the turning radius at the west end of the private access roadway. Simultaneous completion of this facility with the project is imperative for adequate traffic management of the total Aiton Development, and for efficient maneuvering of emergency service vehicles. RESPONSE: ITEM 4. The angled parking stall layout at the S/W corner of the site does not provide sufficient back -up space in certain instances and makes inefficient use of what seems to be an excess amount of paved surface. RESPONSE: The applicants have deleted some of the angled parking spaces and added a small planter in this area. However, inadequate aisle distances, chaotic traffic flow patterns and much unused asphalt surfacing still remain on Exhibit A - 1st revision. The proposed solution is inadequate. ITEM 5. Page 2 20 December 1980 The applicants have added a planter strip at the lower right edge of the cul -de -sac; however, the minimal turning radius and curve - return radius have not been held, continuous curb and gutter are not indicated, and the Public Works Department objects to the presence of two curb -cuts in close proximity. The proposed solution is, therefore, inadequate. LANDSCAPE PROPOSAL GENERALLY INADEQUATE: The amount of site area given over to ornamental planting does not seem to conform to the traditionally -high standards of development in the City of Tukwila. For example numerous odd - spaces in the parking area which could accommodate small planters have been left as pavement. No perimeter plantings are proposed, nor are there any plantings adjacent to the building. Attention to these details could measurably enhance the appearance of this project. RESPONSE: The applicants have added some additional planter space to the parking area, and an incorrectly- configured planter within the private roadway turning radius. No intent to landscape the peripheries of the site nor building are suggested on Exhibit A - 1st revision. RECOMMENDATION In general, staff concludes that the proposed revisions are inadequate to the scope of problems indentified in the December 20 report; reacting to the project as depicted Planning Commission Staff Report Page 3 20 December 1980 on Exhibit A - 1st revision, therefore, staff recommends denial of the subject application. '/908 RECUVENDATION MC /mkb City of Tukwila 6200 Southcenter Boulevard Tukwila Washington 98188 ' Frank Todd, Mayor Enclosure: Exhibit A - 2nd Rev. MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Architectural Review FROM: Mark Caughey, Acting Planning Director DATE: 28 February 1980 SUBJECT: AITON OFFICE BUILDING #3 In response to criticisms contained in the staff report on this matter which appeared in your packet for tonight's meeting, the applicants have prepared Exhibit A - 2nd Rev. (attached). The revised plot plan was received at approximately 4:00 P.M. yesterday; thus, there was not sufficient time to distribute copies of the plan to you prior to the public meeting. I believe that Exhibit A - 2nd Rev. satisfies the following points of concern: ITEM 1: South elevation setback is corrected, allowing for a 36" overhang in the setback area. ITEM 2: Building orientation conflict tied to correction of the setback relationship described in Item 1 has been resolved by reducing the width of the alley at the north end of the building by one foot. ITEM 3: Minimum radius of the cul -de -sac is now shown correctly. ITEM 4: Angled parking at the southwest- .corner of the site has been eliminated. ITEM 5: Quantity has been improved through reconfiguration of the private roadway turning radius. However, the applicants now propose to create an off- street loading area at the southeast corner of the building. Staff suggests that additional planting could be placed here to clarify and direct traffic movements and to soften hard textures surrounding the building. Staff recommends approval of Alton Office Building #3 as depicted on Exhibits A - 2nd Revision, B, C, D according to the following condition: 1) Exhibits A - 2nd revision, C and D shall be modified to include additional landscaping in the general vicinity of the south elevation of the building, subject to staff approval prior to issuance of an occupancy certificate for the building.
