SEPA STATE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Frank Todd, Mayor CITY OF TUKWILA 6230 SOUTHCENTER BLVD. TUKWILA, WASHINGTON 98067 PLANNING DEPARTMENT Minutes of Adjourned Regular Meeting, 11 July 1974 The regular meeting of the Tukwila Planning Commis- sion had been adjourned to this evening to further consider the proposed Oak Harbor Truck Terminal for which a Public Hearing was conducted at the regular meeting. Chairman Mettler called the adjourned meeting to order at 8 :10 p.m. with Mr. Zepp, Mr. Sneva, Mr. Lamb, Mr. Link and Mr. West present. Public Hearing - Oak Harbor Truck Terminal Staff read the Staff Report on this matter including the Environmental Impact summary and reports from Public Works, Police and Fire Department. Commissioners noted the major problems regarding the proposal include the street . and circulation. The. minimum right -of -way recommended by Steve Hall, Public Works Director, would be 50 feet with a minimum curb radius of 55 feet at Interurban Avenue. Mr. Sneva pointed out the code requires the Commission find that the streets serving the proposed facility be adequate and that the proposed facility will not , affect adversely the present character or future development of the surrounding area. Mr. Lamb felt if the street problem were solved the development could be approved. Considerable discussion ensued regarding alternative methods for improving the existing 40 foot right -of- way to a minimum of 50 feet with a cul -de -sac. Alter- natives discussed included L.I.D.' method for_ street, (or) improving to 50 feet from Interurban to Minutes, Planning Commission 11 July 1974 Adjourned Regular Meeting Page 2 east property line of Oak Harbor, (or) require dedication of necessary additional right -of -way and recommend the City Council order improvement of entire street by L.I.D. Discussion regarding anticipated noise levels resulted in concerns that noise will not present any problem with the exception of noticeable increase during the night and early morning operations. Gary Kucinski, Planning Director, pointed out the Commission had two alternatives regarding this proposal. One, the request be approved subject to appropriate • stipulations or two, deny the request due to inadequacy of street and adverse effect on surrounding area. Motion by Mr. Zepp, seconded by Mr. Sneva and. carried to recommend the City Council order, by resolution, the improvement of South 143rd Street, by Local Improvement District method, to meet minimum standards recommended by the Director of Public Works. Motion by Mr. Zepp, seconded by Mr. Lamb and carried to approve the proposed truck terminal use provided the developer and City enter into a Developer's Agreement to improve South 143rd Street, per . recommendation of Public Works Director, to include, but not be limited . to, a late- comers agreement. Motion by Mr. Sneva, seconded by Mr. Lamb and carried to adjourn. Chairman Mettler adjourned the meeting at 9 :50 p.m. Herb Lamb, Sec etary Tukwila Plan 'n- Commission . The Commission found that: Minutes, 27. June 1974 Page 3 P1r. Zepp stated the deficiency could probably best be handled by the compact -car designations,. since nearly a third of the cars are compact. Mr. Sneva pointed out the annual Christmas season saturation which will increase due to the additional retail space; thus, some positive program should be established to help alleviate this seasonal peak. Mr. Boys promised a solution to that problem will be given the Commission prior to 11 July 1974. 1. The study completed by the National Urban Land Institute indicates an adequate parking ratio of 5.5/1000 for shopping centers, and 2. The deficiency of stalls created by the 5/1000 standard can be adequately made up by designating a portion of stalls for compact cars only, and 3. The seasonal peak of parking saturation must be accommodated by circulation revisions as well as additional off -site parking programs, and 4. METRO transit will continue to provide increasing public transportation oppor- tunities for both shoppers and employees; Motion by Mr. Link, seconded by Mr. Lamb and carried to recommend the City Council amend Section 18.34..210 of the Tukwila Municipal Code to establish a standard parking ratio, for regional shopping. centers, of 5 spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross leasable area.. . B. Public Hearing - Oak Harbor Truck Terminal Staff explained that Section 18.40.010 (41) of the Tukwila Municipal Code requires a Public Hearing be held by the Planning Commission to determine the pro- visional granting or denial of a truck terminal use in the M -1 zone. Chairman Mettler opened the hearing at 9:25 p.m. Mr. Henry Vanderpol, Oak Harbor Freight Lines, stated he desired to develop a truck terminal on S. 143rd Street of Interurban Avenue. Minutes, 27 June 1974 Page 4 Mr. Carl Jonson, Attorney, stated the same facility operates currently in the Georgetown area and will simply relocate here. It consists of approximately 40 -50 trucks operating 24 hours daily. The largest concentration of movement will probably be in the early morning hours. Frank Todd, Mayor, indicated the bulk of the trucks would be turning right, onto Interurban Avenue and heading north to 1 -5, and returning southbound on Interurban Avenue turning left onto 143rd. Mr. Saul noted the exceptionally poor vision at the southbound 1 -5 off -ramp at Interurban Avenue, especially for left turning trucks heading south on Interurban Avenue. Mr. Sneva noted the elevations of the site and presumed the street would have to be considerably improved, to include widening as well as increasing the elevation. Mr. Ernie Patti, Grubb & Ellis Realty, indicated that Mr. Vanderpol would be willing to dedicate ten (10) feet along north line of South 143rd Street for widening. Mayor Todd asked minimum street widths for this type of development. Staff noted that Code requirements are a sixty (60) foot right -of -way for industrial uses. Mr. Sneva stated he could not attempt to arrive at a rational decision without thoroughly reviewing the Environmental Impact Assessment Summary, as well as a report from the Public Works Director regarding street improvements, utilities, traffic circulation, etc. There was no one present to speak against the request and Chairman Mettler closed the Public Hearing at 10:02 p.m. Motion by Mr. Lamb, seconded by Mr. Sneva and carried to table this matter until 11 July 1974. C. Sign Review - Doce's ' Staff noted the proposed sign meets all requirements of the Sign Code and considers it not to be a unique sign because of the fountain. Staff Report, 27 June 1974 Page 4 Approximate figures regarding employees range, according to seasonal fluctuations, from a low of 2,100 to a peak of 2,700. However, due to the hours of operation, it is estimated that approximately no more than 70% of those numbers would be present at any given time. Southcenter made an attempt, of sorts, to encourage employee car - pooling by collecting questionnaires regarding zip codes. Each zip code number received the names of all employees who resided within that area and the appropriate information was returned to the employees for their action, if so desired. Southcenter also .designated the Theater parking for car -pool parking. The manner of encouragement and the distance from the parking area to the Center may be the reasons the car -pool program h&s not achieved a noticeable level of success. B. Public Hearing - Oak Harbor. Truck Terminal As required by Section 18.40.010 (41) of the Tukwila Municipal Code, comments regarding police and fire protection are attached from the respective municipal departments. Beyond the fact the land is zoned for such a provisional use, the Commission must evaluate the impact the develop- ment will have on the surrounding vicinity. Without the opportunity to review an adequate Environmental Impact Assessment Summary the Staff is incapable of providing the Commission with a sound recommendation. amirmis C. Sign Review - Doce's Doce's has applied for a freestanding sign which will be approximately 95 square feet per face atop three curved concrete pylons, under which a fountain, approximately 20 feet in height, will exist. Staff recommends approval unless the Commission considers the location of the fountain to qualify the application of a Unique Sign. BOARD OF ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW: A. Site Plan Review - McCann #247 Staff recommends approval subject to the following con- ditions: 1. Removal of the two (2) parking spaces indicated at the northeast corner of the building.

It is a anticipated the construction will start the first week in December IS and continue for approximately forty five calender days. The 1. final assessment roll for this project has been confirmed, and the costs as presented to you will be the final cost for this project. in Within this Local Improvement District, South 143rd Street will i'• be paved to a width of 24 feet as required by present City LI of Tukwila'code. As you develop your property, you will be NJ required to develop an eight foot shoulder of suitable class B Et ballast and crushed rock to City standards plus dedicating an additional ten foot right -of -way plus a ten foot utility corridor. If you have any further questions, do not hesitate to contact me at my office. n z Ei m m ac Q O.

In my opinion, a fifty foot right -of -way would be sufficient for this particular road. I would recommend a final road cross section which would include two twelve foot lanes, two eight foot parking lanes and a five foot sidewalk to be located on either the North or South side. This would result in a overall width of approximately forty -five feet. I would anticipate that within this fifty foot right -of -way of leaving a planter strip between the sidewalk and the curb to allow a buffer zone for pedestrian traffic. In my opinion, the on street parking will be necessary because the widening of the road will eliminate present on site parking for several of the industries in the area. I have particular reference to Bert Well Industries. The elevation of the street will have to be raised to King County Flood Control Standard elevation for this site. Circulation and traffic congestion will always be a problem on a dead end street serving industrial /commercial development. In this case, this can- not be eliminated without additional purchase of right -of -way for the ten foot section now owned by the City of Tukwila located imme- diately east of Bert Well Industries. An eighty foot diameter cul- de -sac at the terminus of the street near the Green River would be a definite requirement in this case. At our meeting with Mr. Ernie Patty of Grubb and Ellis (representing Oak Harbor Freight Lines) a double semi-rig was used to indicate any traffic movement problems we may have at the intersection of South Mr. Gary Kucinski Planning Director 143rd and Interurban Avenue. My only recommendation at this time would be to increase the radius for the west bound left turn traffic from South 143rd to north bound Interurban to be increased to a minimum radius of fifty —five feet. As the truck approached this turn point, it had to swing into the left or east bound lane on South 143rd to make . a turn into the north bound lane of Interurban Avenue South. All other turning movements were of, no consequence as far as traffic problems or interference with other lanes of traffic in this vicinity. The fifth turn lane on Interurban provides the necessary storage to allow trucks to pull out of the, main flow of traffic in order to make their movement onto South 143rd east bound. If so desired by the Planning Commission, I recommend increasing the street standards from Interurban Avenue east to the access point to Oak Harbor Freight Lines. This recommendation would be to complete this roadway to the aforementioned standards. However, I feel at this time if the radius as previously mentioned, could be accomplished, that this would be a satisfactory solution until such time as the City could put together a complete package for an LID completing the entire street. As I have also previously mentioned, through the construction of LID #19 for sewer installation in this area, all streets will be torn up and completely overlaid this summer. Bid opening for this project will be on July 11, 1974 (Thursday) and construction to follow within a month. I hope that this satisfies your questions in the letter dated July 2, 1974 in reference to this project. If you so desire,.I can furnish more detailed information, or appear at the Planning Commission Meeting. of July 11, 1974. Sancerely yours, teven M. Hall, P.E.

Sheets, .Chief of Police Tukwila Police Department Dear Sir: Re: Traffic Hazards So. 143rd St., & Interurban Ave. So. E. School aged children living in area would also be an additional hazard. Children must walk to Inter- urban to catch a bus. F. Sidewalks would be an added safety feature for all pedestrian traffic. I have contacted several officers and visually inspected the proposed area. It is difficult to predict many of the problems which Mill accur after completion of the project, however I have listed some of these, along suggestions on elimin- ating or curbing same. A. The parking situation on the street at this time is inadequate. Possibly if roadway was widened or off street parking was made available, this would suffice. B. Vision obscurements at the entrances and exits (trees, schrubs, etc.) would have to be considered. C. At present the roadway at the east end of South 143rd has no turn around area and it would be impossible to turn across onto South 143rd Place with present road conditions. (Refer also to Pedestrian hazard) D. Left turn exiting onto Interurban and possibly the right turn could became problems with traffic flow. Also the left turn onto South 143rd creates a poten- tial problem. A suggestion would be pressure plates on South 143rd and the left turn lane of Interurban to activate traffic light. John A. Sheets, Chief of Police Page 2. G. Signs, such as speed control, and caution. signs would • be needed both to yarn drivers of pedestrians and to warn pedestrians of truck and vehicular traffic. As I mentioned it is hard to predict a lot of the problems, how— ever I hope •this information will assist you. • Mr. Gary Crutchfield Tukwila Planning Dept.

TUKWILA, WASHINGTON 98067 Fire Prevention Bureau June 25, 1974 Re: Oak Harbor Truck Terminal Proposal In reviewing the above mentioned project plans, please note the following items: 1. Hose stations are required per City Ordinance #730. 2. Fire hydrants are required as detailed in City Ordinance #729. (one hydrant at the North- east corner of the loading -dock area). 3• Due to the anticipated fire hazards and unpredict- able building contents, it is strongly suggested that the complex be provided with an automatic fire - sprinkler system. If, at any time, it is anticipated to store over 240 gallons of flamm- able or combustible liquids, an automatic sprinkler system will be required. 4. Fire extinguishers shall be provided per NFPA #10, as a minimum requirement. When, in the opinion of the Fire Prevention Bureau, building contents or operations therein are of a hazardous nature, additional extinguishers (in excess of NFPA requirements) may be required. Please include these comments in your review of the above mentioned project.
