The 'Commission approved the additional revisions, including the twelve (12) foot high screening fence, . and further delegated to staff responsibility and authority to review and approve any further revisions determined necessary during construction. We trust this will allow any revisions contemplated to be reviewed by this office prior to actual construction.

C. Poggi, OCF T. Bernard, Cabot, Cabot & Forbes Dear Mr. Baker:. Enclosed are the drawings and information prepared by Austin Engineers in response to the questions and requests made at the last meeting of the Architectural Control Committee. This reviews the reasons why the external duct work was constructed in the present manner and the possible alternatives. The three major roof mounted stacks will be reduced to a height of 38' as shown on the drawings. I have also included a photograph of the building taken from the hill overlooking Andover Industrial Park. The external • duct work is now relatively inconspicuous, having been painted to blend with the building. We will also be forwarding several other pictures • showing a close -up view as soon as the enlargements are available. We would like to present this information to the February meeting of the Architectural Control Committee. We hope that you will agree that the present installation has been handled in a practical and tasteful manner in accordance with our original understanding, after you have had a chance to review this material.

O. 74 -5071 In response to the request made by the members of the Architec- tural Control Committee at the January 14th meeting, we have reviewed the Styrene System exhaust ductwork and offer the following comments and explanatory statements. • The system serves to control the ambient level of styrene con- centration within the Fiberglass Reinforced Plastics portion of the plant, as required by OSHA and WISHA health standards. The air quantities handled are a function of production rates, working areas and established Threshold Limit Values. The re- quirement is not new, having been established in most states as part of their health standards and using as a guideline the Manual of Recommended Practice for Industrial Ventilation, as developed by the American Conference of Industrial Hygienists. Since OSHA has become effective, it supplements and in some instances supersedes the I. V. Manual. The published values are reviewed and modified regularly, usually to a more stringent Page Two Mr. J. E. Zakary Owens Corning Fiberglas February 5, 1975 . As you will recall, the design development of the FRP system and the materials used in the process caused the exhaust system to change in capacity several times, to its present size. In the recent past, a system such as the Styrene System would have.been discharged to atmodphere, relying on dilution and normal air currents to disperse the odor and noxious material.... Since the Environmental Protection Act has been in force, re- quirements have been established on a state -by -state basis regulating discharge of pollutants. In the case under review, removal of the styrene is required by the State agency, ne- cessitating the equipment located north of the building, con- sisting of carbon adsorption beds and associated ductwork. A further result of the styrene removal process is the require- ment for heavier construction of the connecting ductwork, due to the higher pressure drops across the carbon beds. The above requirements dictated several design decisions that are currently in question by the Architectural Review Commission. First, due to size and complexity, it became necessary to locate the adsorption units, the exhaust fans and the boiler outside of the building, along with, of course, the interconnecting ductwork. A second design decision involved the routing and support of the main exhaust duct. Due to its size and weight, and that it traversed a congested area housing the bun molding operation, it became apparent that running it over the roof was the safest and most practical arrangement. It could then be located so as to minimize the effect of its load to the building, and avoid , physical damage from operations within the building. We have reviewed possible alternatives to the present arrange- ment of ducting at the north wall, in line with the discussions that were held at the meeting with the ACC. The concept of revising the run of duct approaching the parapet so as to just clear the parapet has been illustrated on the accompanying sketch. A similar sketch showing the existing con- dition is adjacent for comparison. This modification can readily be made, but of course there is considerable cost in- volved. Operation of the system would also have to be sus- pended during the change. In my opinion, the net visual change is insignificant. .61 • Page Three Mr. J. E. Zakary Owens Corning Fiberglas Enclosure HGP:cmv February 5, 1975 . Other changes involving cutting into the parapet have been studied, and while achievable, represent substantially more work with little visual change. Further, repair of the para- pet at a later date may not result in a satisfactory appear- ance. With regard to other roof penetrations for exhaust systems, these are all predicated on meeting OSHA and WISHA require- ments for exhaust and make -up air at various operations. The proposed stack height modifications, while a design compro- mise, will provide satisfactory discharges. If•there are.further evaluations you wish made for the systems, . please advise and we will comply. Yours very truly,. THE AUSTIN COMPANY H. G. Person, P.E. District Engineer .OIf1.

District Engineer EE Re: Owens Corning Fiberglas EL Storage Yard Lighting i t Dear Mr. Person: In accordance with my past letter, the City of Tukwila can not authorize the utilization of wood poles without Owens Corning (jw Fiberglas proceeding through the variance requirements of the N City of Tukwila. As previously stated, cresote wood poles are • not considered ornamental lighting which is the only exception within the code to street lighting or parking lot lighting. W k- Prior to the. City of Tukwila even considering a variance, if 4 you wish to do so, approval must'be received from the private Architectural Control Commission who, has the protective covenants • and responsibilities of development within the Andover Industrial Park. You sight.your reasons within your letter, and I must sight another reason. This is not the first time that we have come to discussions Kt of these types after the fact. It would seem logical'and only ;, good business that a company working within a City would check . with the City entity prior to. any construction or installation located within the jurisdiction. z Ef LU LU tsl:lfr :o-t,w a ui 1•••■•• ..

I believe you would find yourself hard pressed to find an installation of this type within the Andover Industrial Park /Southcenter Area. The City has spent many long and arduous hours' in preparing these Ordinances for a definite purpose. F Mr. H. G.

We have analyzed costs and conditions involved in lighting the storage yard and feel that the requirements you are suggesting are excessively stringent. We are prepared to meet all of the conditions, except the actual replacement of the present wood poles with steel poles.' We feel strongly that making such a change at a cost in excess of $10,000 is an undue burden on our client. Let me cite the reasoning. The concern that has prompted the requirement for change is obviously one of aesthetics, since functionally, the present poles will adequately support the lights. With that concern in mind, we remind you that the area in question is away from all streets; further, the use will be limited to the two-year production program of the client, whereupon the lighting will Page Two Mr. Steven M. Hall Public Works Director • be removed; the area surrounding the storage yard will be in a state of construction during the next 18 months, as Cabot, Cabot & Forbes develop their remaining property fronting on ' Andover West. To summarize, we offer the following proposal, and request your consideration and approval. 1. All wiring will be placed underground; wiring • on the pole will be in conduit, run on the side away from view. 2. All poles will be painted to match the building (or a color recommended by you). 3. ..Maximum heights will be observed. 4. Light distribution will meet your requirements. 5. Necessary permits are acquired from the Railroad. Our client is not unmindful of the expressed desire of both the . City of Tukwila and the Architectural Control Commission to maintain an attractive environment and has aggreed to extensive screening, landscaping and painting for various outdoor areas. It does appear, however, that trading wood poles for metal is somewhat arbitrary. We will be available for further discussion, at your request, and would appreciate a meeting with you, Owens Corning and Austin for a review of our proposal. HGP:cmv cc: G.
