Minutes 24 March 1977
Mr. Ken Long, architect, requested action on the site plan tonight and he
will provide elevations at a later date.
Chairman Kirsop noted previous reviews within this project area had brought
out the potential problem of signing.
Mrs. Avery questioned the safety of providing parking across the rail ser-
vice line.
Mr. Richards noted the higher potential for crime in that particular parking
area.
Mr. Long stated the crime potential had not been a consideration in the
site design and preferred not to commit to signing provisions beyond the
Sign Code restrictions.
Motion by Mr. Richards, seconded by Mr. Hartong and carried to table the
item until the next regular meeting due to lack of adequate information
regarding:
1. fencing of rail service line in vicinity of parking area;
2. exterior architectural treatment of elevations;
3. building identification.
Mr. Long asked if this matter could be considered next Thursday.
Mr. Crutchfield noted that this meeting will likely need to be recessed to
31 March 1977 and that this matter could be adequately reviewed by Staff if
all necessary information is submitted by Tuesday afternoon. Chairman Kirsop
agreed.

LAndscape Plan for Bow Lake Transfer Station (King County)
Mr. Crutchfield read the Staff Report recommending evergreen screen along
the north property line to prevent view of trailer storage area from future
residential development.
Mr. Bob Nixon, landscape architect, stated such screening had not been .
included due to adjacent property being State right -of -way for I -5.
Mr. Crutchfield explained that such right -of -way can be and often is
declared surplus by the State and sold to private parties for development.
Current zoning and proposed Comprehensive Plan indicates residential develop-
ment on all land lying north of and reasonably close to this facility.
Acknowledging these factors, Mr. Nixon explained operation of the newly -
designed facility.
Motion by Mr. Richards, seconded by Mr. Bowen and carried to approve the
landscape plan with the stipulation that the trailer storage area be effec-

subject to landscape of the parking lot to correspond with neighboring landscape.

Forbes. (Copy of letter attached as a part of these minutes.)
Mr. Dave Urich, Upland Industries, responded to each point of the Staff
recommendation as follows:
1. Agreed to include that portion not conveyed to Mr. Ivy by deed or
contract purchase.
2. Stated combination of lots 5 and 9 into one lot and combination
of lots 6 and 10 into one will satisfy intent of this stipulation.
3. Effect of #2 above will satisfy this stipulation.

as required by #1 above and is added to lot 8.
Chairman Kirsop questioned the logic of closing vehicular access on a portion
of the easement originally intended for extension of Minkler Boulevard.
Mr. Crutchfield explained that the Public Works Department and Planning Divi-
sion, in view of several factors including existing construction and rail lo-
cations, had concluded that extension of Minkler Boulevard is not in the best
interest of public.

SUBJECT: Tukwila Planning Commission Meeting, January 31, 1974
Tukwila City Hall
Richard Southworth and I represented King County at two con-
secutive meetings held to discuss the application for rezone
of the Bow Lake Transfer Station site from R.A. District -
Agricultural zone to an M -2 zone.
The first meeting concerned the change in land use and the
second meeting concerned the rezone application. Mr. Dick
Hansen, Planner for the City of Tukwila, had placed the
application drawings on a display wall and introduced the
problem by presentation of slides of the site. Speaking for
the County, I explained the project and the intended uses and
improvements. Mr. Southworth explained. in detail the actual
operations of the proposed installation.•
The second meeting concerning the rezone from R.A. to M -2.
Both Mr. Southworth and I continued the explaination for the
project need for rezone and the expected benefits to the
City of Tukwila anf the adjacent. areas. The council discussed
'the merits of rezone to M -1 vs M-2. It was concluded that M -2
was the desirable zone for the Transfer Station.
Both meetings found, for the change in land use and the re -zone
passed to the City of Tukwila's Council for their action and
implementation if they concur. Mr. Hansen will notify both
Mr. Southworth and me of the City of Tukuila action.
Mr. Hansen requested that I send to him as soon as possible,
the legal description separating the Transfer Station site
itself from the balance of the King County land at the site f nd dif-
'ferentiated from the site by virtue that it is the unbuildable
site . t o the east of the' Transfer Station plateau. The Flanning
Council asked that it have a presentation of the project documents
prior to going to bid and d I coy ,niti e 1 the County to such a pre-.
sentatiori. Recommendations were made for tree plating on the
' i 4..
State Highway property to the west and north of the site as well
as planting along the entry fence.
