AGENDA ITEM VII A: PRELIMINARY PLAT: BEL CREST HEIGHTS REQUEST: APPLICANT: LOCATION: SIZE: • COMPREHENSIVE PLAN': FINDINGS: PRELIMINARY PLAT of Bel Crest Heights C & H Partnership West of 54th Avenue South and between South 164th Street and South 166th Street. Approximately 4.05 acres Low - Density Residential 1. C & H Partnership has initiated platting procedures to subdivide the land area depicted in Exhibit A to facilitate development of the plan- ned Bel Crest Heights Development. 2. The proposed development is 4.05 acres in total size. The site is pro- posed to be divided into 15 lots with the smallest lot size 9,600 square feet. The average lot size is roughly 9,800 square feet. 3. As shown on the preliminary plat application, the subject site slopes upward from 54th Avenue South with some slopes in excess of 20 percent. Proposed lots 1, 2, 3 and 15 have such slopes. Proposed lots 4 and 14 have approximately 16 to 19 percent grades. The rear portion of the site levels off to approximately a 7 percent grade. As noted by the applicant on the preliminary plat, "based on recent site reconnaissance, the aerial topography seems to be different from actual •ground slope." 4. The Tukwila Data Inventory indicates that this area has poor slope stability. Small landslides occurred near this site during the construction of I -5. A soils report has been requested by the City but was not available at the time of writing of the staff report. 5. The vegetation is predominantly deciduous trees with interspersed con- ifers. The proposal will eliminate approximately 50% of the existing trees and about 75% of the existing shrubs and groundcover. 6. The City of Tukwila Comprehensive Land Use Policy Plan, Natural Environ- ment, Objective 3, Policy 1 states: "Discourage development on slopes in excess of 20 percent." Planning Commission Page 2 Staff Report 25 January 1979 7. The City of Tukwila Comprehensive Land Use Policy Plan, Natural Environment, Objective 6 Policy 1 states: "In aras where the stability of slopes is questionable, allow development only after a qualified professional can demonstrate that slopes will be stable even after site modification." 8. The 15 lots are proposed to be served by a 40' -wide cul -de -sac running east -west extending from 54th Avenue South. 9. Val -Vue Sewer District has submitted comments regarding the proposed pre- liminary plat. They are.included in the staff report as Exhibit B. 10. The Public Works Department has submitted comments regarding the proposed preliminary plat. They are included in the staff report as Exhibit C. 11. The Building Department has submitted comments regarding the proposed preliminary plat. They are included in the staff report as Exhibit D. 12. Goal 1, Policy 5 of the Sidewalk Plan, under Residential Goals and Policies, states: "New subdivisions should be required to construct sidewalks on new streets." 13. It is not indicated on the preliminary plat whether the proposed cul -de -sac is to be dedicated to the City. 14. As noted by the Public Works Department, the existing pavement on 54th Avenue South has eroded and settled. Also, located directly west of the intersection of the proposed cul -de -sac and 54th Avenue is the I -5 free- way right -of -way. A severe slope exists between the east edge of 54th Avenue and the south -bound lanes of I -5. 15. A final survey, including contours, has not been done for the subject site. CONCLUSIONS: 1. As stated in the Comprehensive Land Use Policy Plan, it is generally not desirable to develop on slopes in excess of 20 percent due to the problems of construction, access, and the degree to which grading activities disturb the natural landform. 2. As stated in the Comprehensive Land Use Policy Plan, development should avoid slide prone areas or areas of questionable soil stability caused by severe slope, soil characteristics, or surface and groundwater drainage. 3. The Subdivision Code generally encourages the dedication of roads to the public when serving more than four (4) lots. 4. Due to the steepness of the subject site and the projected alignment of the proposed cul -de -sac, the grading activities associated with street improvement will eliminate a majority of the existing vegetation. Removal of this amount of vegetation will tend to enhance the importance of the remaining vegetation. Page 3 Staff Report 25 January 1979 Planning Commission 5. Th. proposed cul -de -sac appears to meet design standards of the Subdivision Code. 6. Additional traffic on 54th Avenue may cause increased pavement erosion and settlement, (SEE, Exhibit C). Also, a potential hazard may exist if no barrier is constructed opposite the intersection of the proposed cul- de-sac and 54th Avenue South. 7. Since a final survey has not been conducted, the contour lines on the preliminary plat should not be considered as refecting actual, existing grades. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Planning Commission approve the Preliminary Plat for Bel Crest Heights with the following conditions: 1. Existing 54th Avenue South shall be resurfaced to accommodate the new plat, plans to be approved by the Public Works Department. 2. A retaining wall or other approved device be constructed on the west right -of way line of 54th Avenue South, plans to be approved by the Public Works Department. 3. Widening of the proposed intersection shall be required to accommodate left -turn movement, plans to be approved by the Public Works Department. 4. Storm drain control (detention /retention) facilities and connection to existing storm drain system shall be required, plans to be approved by the Public Works Department. 5. The cul -de -sac on the subject property shall be named South 165th Street. 6. A detailed surface water drainage plan shall be submitted to and approved by the Public Works Department. 7. There shall be no unnecessary removal of existing trees (conifer 4 inches in diameter or greater, deciduous trees 8 inches or greater measured 2 feet from the ground) during construction of required improvements. 8. A 20 -foot wide greenbelt easement shall be designated along the entirety of the site's north, west, and south property lines. There shall be no cutting of major trees (SEE, Condition #7) or shrubs in this greenbelt area except for public safety and welfare purposes. 9. The proposed cul -de -sac shall be constructed according to City of Tukwila standards and dedicated to the public. 10. On the final plat, and after a final topographic survey has been completed, no lot with an average slope over 20 percent shall be less than 20,000 square feet in size; no lots with an average slope between 16 -19 percent shall be less than 12,000 square feet; and lots with an average slope of 1S percent or less shall be noless than 9600square feet.

Bauch, Mayor 5 December 1978 City of Tukwila Planning Department 6200 Southcenter Boulevard Tukwila, Washington 98188 ATTN: Roger J. Blaylock, Assistant Planner It is possible that some of the lots in the preliminary plat of. Bel Crest Heights may be in a swampy area or an area of underground water and peat soils. A condition of plat approval should be that if any of the above conditions are met during the construction phase, special foun- dation design may be required and drainage of excess water away from buildings may be necessary. AP /ch Al Piep Building Official EXHIBIT D BEL CREST HEIGITS: BUILDING DIVISION COMMENTS Planning Commission Page 2 Minutes 25 January 1979 NEW BUSINESS PUBLIC HEARING: BEL CREST HEIGHTS PRELIMINARY PLAT Mr. Satterstrom read the staff report along with letters from the Val -Vue Sewer District, the Department of Public Works, and the Building Division. Acting Chairman Avery opened the hearing to the public.' Proponents of the project were asked to speak. Mr. Chan Chou of Sephan Associates spoke as the engineer and as part owner. He disputed points 1, 2 and 10 of the staff report. He stated that point one should be specifically limited to improving that portion of 54th Avenue South abutting the plat and that it should be resurfaced and not rebuilt. Point 2 should be eliminated; a retaining wall off the subdivision site should not be the responsi- bility of the developer. Regarding point 10, Mr. Chou suggested that the average slope should only be considered for the building site area, not the entire lot. Mr. Bowen asked Mr. Chou if the intersection could be slightly realigned. Mr. Chou responded realignment would create the need for construction of a retaining wall to protect a lot. Chairman.Avery then asked for opponents to speak. Mr. Satterstrom read a letter from Mr. George Z. Abbott, 16605 - 53rd Avenue South, opposing the preliminary plat unless access was provided from . 53rd Avenue South. Mrs. Darlene West asked, "What happens to the greenbelt ?" Mr. Satterstrom responded that it would be an easement which would limit the property owner from cutting cer- tain sized trees within the easement. In addition any trees that had to be cut down for safety reasons would be the responsibility of the individual property owner. Mrs. Ethel Bauch expressed her concern about the traffic demands on 54th Avenue South and the pedestrian traffic. She stated that the pavement was very narrow and that the construction of 15 new houses would increase the traffic hazards. She felt that the developer should be required to improve the road and provide a sidewalk for pedestrians. Mr. Satterstrom responded that 54th Avenue South was scheduled for improvement by the City in 1980- 1981. The typical road section on the 60 foot right -of -way would be a finished 35 -foot wide surfaced section. He stated that development of the entire road and sidewalk should not be the sole responsibility of the developer. The development could result in the City Council rating the road improvement project higher and consider construction at an earlier date. Mrs. West stated that she was also concerned with the pedestrian problem and the present condition of the street. Mr. Mel Hogsett, part owner in the development, stated that they would be happy to participate in a road improvement project for 54th Avenue South according to their appropriate portion. Chairman Avery closed the public hearing. Planning Commission Page 3 Minutes 25 January 1979 Mr. William Gorjance, 16604 - 53rd Avenue South, stated his concern with the access. In severe weather, the proposed finished grade of the cul -de -sac would cause a serious access problem and traffic hazard. At the present time when there is snow or ice, 54th Avenue South is blocked off. He asked, "Why access could not be provided to Slade Way ?" Mr. Hogsett responded that he had attempted to acquire additional property to the north so that they could have access onto Slade Way, but the property owners were not interested in selling at this time. Planning Commission discussion continued on items #1, 2, and 10 of the staff report. Mr. Bowen asked Mr. Chou to explain again what he had suggested on item #10. Mr. Chou clarified his position by stating that the slope should be limited to the building site area and not the entire lot. MOTION BY MR. SOWINSKI AND SECONDED BY MR. BOWEN TO TABLE (THE PRELIMINARY PLAT OF BEL CREST HEIGHTS) UNTIL THE NEXT REGULAR MEETING TO ALLOW THE APPLICANT TIME TO PROVIDE THE PLANNING COMMISSION WITH A MORE COMPREHENSIVE SITE PLAN TO EVALUATE THE LOT LAYOUT AND SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSING A CLEARER DEFINITION OF THE CONTOUR LINES FOR LOTS 1, 2, 3, 4, 14, AND 15 AND INDICATING ON AN OVERLAY WHERE THE BUILD- ING SITES FOR THESE LOTS WOULD BE. MOTION CARRIED. Chairman Avery then returned to the items under the Board of Architectural Review section of the agenda.

Attachment 1. Max. Units Per ACC Comp. Plan NEW BUSINESS Chairman.Avery then asked for opponents to speak. Planning Commission 47 Page 2 Minutes 25 January 1979 ✓ PUBLIC HEARING: BEL CREST HEIGHTS PRELIMINARY PLAT Mr. Satterstrom read the staff report along with letters from the Val -Vue Sewer District, the Department of Public Works, and the Building Division. Acting Chairman Avery opened the hearing to the public. Proponents of the project were asked to speak. Mr. Chan Chou of Sephan Associates spoke as the engineer and as part owner. He disputed points 1, 2 and 10 of the staff report. He stated that point one should be specifically limited to improving that portion of 54th Avenue South abutting the plat and that it should be resurfaced and not rebuilt. Point 2 should be eliminated; a retaining wall off the subdivision site should not be the responsi- bility of the developer. Regarding point 10, Mr. Chou suggested that the average slope should only be considered for the building site area, not the entire lot. Mr. Bowen asked Mr. Chou if the intersection could be slightly realigned. Mr. Chou responded realignment would create the need for construction of a retaining wall to protect a lot. Mr. Satterstrom read a letter from Mr. George Z. Abbott, 16605 - 53rd Avenue South, opposing the preliminary plat unless access was provided from 53rd Avenue South. Mrs. Darlene West asked, "What happens to the greenbelt ?" Mr. Satterstrom responded that it would be an easement which would limit the property owner from cutting cer- tain sized trees within the easement. In addition any trees that had to be cut down for safety reasons would be the responsibility of the individual property owner. Mrs. Ethel Bauch expressed her concern about the traffic demands on 54th Avenue South and the pedestrian traffic. She stated that the pavement was very narrow and that the construction of 15 new houses would increase the traffic hazards. ' She felt that the developer should be required to improve the road and provide a sidewalk for pedestrians. Mr. Satterstrom responded that 54th Avenue South was scheduled for improvement by the City in 1980 - 1981. The typical road section on the 60 foot right -of -way would be a finished 35 -foot wide surfaced section. He stated that development of the entire road and sidewalk should not be the sole responsibility of the developer. The development could result in the City Council rating the road improvement project higher and consider construction at an earlier date. Mrs. West stated that she was also concerned with the pedestrian problem and the present condition of the street. Mr. Mel Hogsett, part owner in the development, stated that they would be happy to participate in a road improvement project for 54th Avenue South according to their appropriate portion. r Planning Commission 'l Page 3 Minutes 25 January 1979 Mr. William Gorjance, 16604 - 53rd Avenue South, stated his concern with the access. In severe weather, the proposed finished grade of the cul -de -sac would cause a serious access problem and traffic hazard. At the present time when there is snow or ice, 54th Avenue South is blocked off. He asked, "Why access could not be provided to Slade Way ?" Mr. Hogsett responded that he had attempted to acquire additional property to the north so that they could have access onto Slade Way, but the property owners were not interested in selling at this time. Chairman Avery closed the public hearing. Planning Commission discussion continued on items #1, 2, and 10 of the staff report. Mr. Bowen asked Mr. Chou to explain again what he had suggested on item #10. Mr. Chou clarified his position by stating that the slope should be limited to the building site area and not the entire lot. MOTION BY MR. SOWINSKI AND SECONDED BY MR. BOWEN TO TABLE (THE PRELIMINARY PLAT OF BEL CREST HEIGHTS) UNTIL THE NEXT REGULAR MEETING TO ALLOW THE APPLICANT TIME TO PROVIDE THE PLANNING COMMISSION WITH A MORE COMPREHENSIVE SITE PLAN TO EVALUATE THE LOT LAYOUT AND SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSING A CLEARER DEFINITION OF THE CONTOUR LINES FOR LOTS 1, 2, 3, 4, 14, AND 15 AND INDICATING ON AN OVERLAY WHERE THE BUILD- ING SITES FOR THESE LOTS WOULD BE.

AGENDA ITEM VI I A • PRELIMINARY PLAT: BEL CREST HEIGHTS REQUEST: PRELIMINARY PLAT of Bel Crest Heights APPLICANT: C E H Partnership LOCATION: West of 54th Avenue South and between South 164th Street and South 166th Street. SIZE: Approximately 4.05 acres COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Low- Density Residential 1. C $ H Partnership has initiated platting procedures to subdivide the land area depicted in Exhibit A to facilitate development of the plan- ned Bel Crest Heights Development. 2. The proposed development is 4.05 acres in total size. The site is pro- posed to be divided into 15 lots with the smallest lot size 9,600 square feet. The average lot size is roughly 9,800 square feet. 3. As shown on the preliminary plat application, the subject site slopes upward from 54th Avenue South with some slopes in excess of 20 percent. Proposed lots 1, 2, 3 and 15 have such slopes. Proposed lots 4 and 14 have approximately 16 to 19 percent grades. The rear portion of the site levels off to approximately a 7 percent grade. As noted by the applicant on the preliminary plat, "based on recent site reconnaissance, the aerial topography seems to be different from actual ground slope." 4. The Tukwila Data Inventory indicates that this area has poor slope stability. Small landslides occurred near this site during the construction of I -5. A soils report has been requested by the City but was not available at the time of writing of the staff report. 5. The vegetation is predominantly deciduous trees with interspersed con - ifers. The proposal will eliminate approximately 50% of the existing trees and about 75% of the existing shrubs and groundcover. 6. The City of Tukwila Comprehensive Land Use Policy Plan, Natural Environ- ment, Objective 3, Policy 1 states: "Discourage development on slopes in excess of 20 percent." Planning Commission Page 2 Staff Report 25 January 1979 7. The City of Tukwila Comprehensive Land Use Policy Plan, Natural Environment, Objective 6 Policy 1 states: "In aras where the stability of slopes is questionable, allow development only after a qualified professional can demonstrate that slopes will be stable even after site modification." 8. The 15 lots are proposed to be served by a 40' -wide cul -de -sac running east -west extending from 54th Avenue South. 9. Val -Vue Sewer District has submitted comments regarding the proposed pre- liminary plat. They are included in the staff report as Exhibit B. 10. The Public Works Department has submitted comments regarding the proposed preliminary plat. They are included in the staff report as Exhibit C. 11. The Building Department has submitted comments regarding the proposed preliminary plat. They are included in the staff report as Exhibit D. 12. Goal 1, Policy 5'of the Sidewalk Plan, under Residential Goals and Policies, states: "New subdivisions should be required to construct sidewalks on new streets." 13. It is not indicated on the preliminary plat whether the proposed cul -de -sac is to be dedicated to the City. 14. As noted by the Public Works Department, the existing pavement on 54th Avenue South has eroded and settled. Also, located directly west of the intersection of the proposed cul -de -sac and 54th Avenue is the I -5 free- way right -of -way. A severe slope exists between the east edge of 54th Avenue and the south -bound lanes of I -5. 15. A final survey, including contours, has not been done for the subject site. CONCLUSIONS: 1. As stated in the Comprehensive Land Use Policy Plan, it is generally not desirable to develop on slopes in excess of 20 percent due to the problems of construction, access, and the degree to which grading activities disturb the natural landform. 2. As stated in the Comprehensive Land Use Policy Plan, development should avoid slide prone areas or areas of questionable soil stability caused by severe slope, soil characteristics, or surface and groundwater drainage. 3. The Subdivision Code generally encourages the dedication of roads to the public when serving more than four (4) lots. 4. Due to the steepness of the subject site and the projected alignment of the proposed cul -de -sac, the grading activities associated with street improvement will eliminate a majority of the existing, vegetation. Removal of this amount of vegetation will tend to enhance the importance of the remaining vegetation. Planning Commission Staff Report 5. Th1 proposed cul -de -sac appears to meet design standards of the Subdivision Code. 6. Additional traffic on 54th Avenue may cause increased pavement erosion and settlement, (SEE, Exhibit C). Also, a potential hazard may exist if no barrier is constructed opposite the intersection of the proposed cul- de -sac and 54th Avenue South. 7. Since a final survey has not been conducted, the contour lines on the preliminary plat should not be considered as refecting actual, existing grades. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Planning Commission approve the Preliminary Plat for Bel Crest Heights with the following conditions: 1. Existing 54th Avenue South shall be resurfaced to accommodate the new plat, plans to be approved by the Public Works Department. 2. A retaining wall or other approved device be constructed on the west right -of way line of 54th Avenue South, plans to be approved by the Public Works Department. 3. Widening of the proposed intersection shall be required to accommodate left -turn movement, plans to be approved by the Public Works Department. 4. Storm drain control (detention /retention) facilities and connection to existing storm drain system shall be required, plans to be approved by the Public Works Department. 5. The cul -de -sac on the subject property shall be named South 165th Street. 6. A detailed surface water drainage plan shall be submitted to and approved by the Public Works Department. 7. There shall be no unnecessary removal of existing trees (conifer 4 inches in diameter or greater, deciduous trees 8 inches or greater measured 2 feet from the ground) during construction of required improvements. 8. A 20 -foot wide greenbelt easement shall be designated along the entirety of the site's north, west, and south property lines. There shall be no cutting of major trees (SEE, Condition #7) or shrubs in this greenbelt area except for public safety and welfare purposes. 9. The proposed cul -de -sac shall be constructed according to City of Tukwila standards and dedicated to the public. 10. On the final plat, and after a final topographic survey has been completed, no lot with an average slope over 20 percent shall be less than 20,000 square feet in size; no lots with an average slope between 16 -19 percent shall be less than 12,000 square feet; and lots with an average slope of. 15 percent or less shall be no less than 9600 square feet.

S November 1978 M E M O R A N D U M TO: FROM: SUBJECT: Ordinance #1035 and Subdivisions ORDINANCE #1035 CITY of TUKWILA OFFICE of COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Kjel Stoknes, OCD Director Satterstrom, Planning Supervisor d el C Res - fi Svb cl �v�s�p v � w e ; f o s;7 1 ffrt-e-lie.4 /ileA As of late, there has been some question as to whether the subdivision of land is within the purview of Ordinance #1035 and, whether waivers might be required in certain circumstances. After a review of Ordinance #1035 and the subdivision ordinance, I believe that the subdivision of land is not within the scope of Ordinance #1035 and that in no case should a waiver be required. Ordinance #1035 requires a waiver to be granted by the City Council in two types of cases (SEE, Section 3): (1) "Land use actions which are inconsistent with the new Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map. (2) Proposals for building, grading, clearing, excavation or filling which are located in a geographical area generally identified by the Environmental Basemap of the Comprehensive Land Use Policy Plan as an area of constraint." It should also be noted that building permits for single - family homes are exempt from the provisions of Ordinance #1035. The subdivision of land is not, itself, a specific land use proposal. Lots within the subdivision, of course, need to be of the size required by the zoning code but, the City does not commit to a certain land use by virtue of subdivision approval. In addition, the act of subdivision itself does not involve grading, filling, excavation, etc. Only the subdivision improvements such as roads and utilities 6230 Southcenter Boulevard • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • (206) 242 -2177 A tit � Memorandum Kjell Stoknes Page 2 8 November 1978 require any physical manipulation of the earth, and these improvements are usually very minor and incidental to the eventual development. SUBDIVISION CODE (TITLE 17) In my opinion, the preliminary plat serves much the same function as a waiver application. The waiver application, if approved, grants permission to the applicant to apply for a building permit and ultimately build a specific develop- ment. Likewise, a preliminary plat application, if approved, grants the appli- cant permission to develop plans and ultimately construct s ecific improvements required by the City, (SEE, specifically TMC 17.12.030 5.c1'). The require- ment of a waiver, in this case, would be redundant. RECOMMENDATION: Based on the above analysis, I would recommend that as a matter of policy we exempt subdivisions from the requirements of Ordinance #1035. Please let me know how you feel about this. I anticipate an application will be made soon which will force us to make a decision. FNS /ch cc: Assist.
