Bauch, Mayor 2 April 1976 The Tukwila Board of Adjustment, at its regular meeting conducted 1 April 1976, held a Public Hearing to consider a request by N.C. Machinery for a variance from Section 19.32.140 (A) of the Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC) to allow the erection of an additional freestanding sign at the above address. It was the unanimous decision of the Board to deny the variance based upon the Findings and Conclusions of the Staff Report and because the granting of the variance request would constitute a grant of special privelege.

The regular April meeting of the Tukwila Board of Adjustment was called to order at 8:05 P.M. by Chairperson Altmayer. Other Board members present were: Mr. Hartong, Mr. Duffie and Mr. Dow. Gary Crutchfield represented the Planning Department and noted Mrs. Crain had informed him that she would be absent this evening. Motion by Mr. Duffie, seconded by Mr. Dow and carried to approve the minutes of the 4 March 1976 meeting as prepared. OLD BUSINESS Mr. Dow asked if any progress has been made regarding the Doce's signs. Mr. Crutchfield stated that what appeared to be a legal petition to amend the Sign Code has been received by the City Clerk and it is assumed the matter will be on the Council agenda Monday night, 5 April 1976. Chairperson Altmayer asked if it was appropriate to excuse Mrs. Crain by motion. Mr. Crutchfield noted it is desireable to do so. Motion by Mr. Duffie, seconded by Mr. Dow and carried to excuse the absence of Mrs. Crain. NEW BUSINESS PUBLIC HEARING - VARIANCE - Additional Freestanding Sign (N.C. Machinery) Chairperson Altmayer opened the Public Hearing at 8:20 P.M. Mr. Crutchfield explained the nature of the request as well as the specific restriction of Section 19.32.140 (A) as it relates to this request. Read entire Staff Report. Board of Adjustment Minutes C Page 2 1 April 1976 Mr. Bruce Miller, N.C. Machinery, explained the makings of the proposed sign, location and operation of the 'Used Machinery Center' and submitted a written rebuttal to the Conclusions presented in the Staff Report. Mr. Crutchfield read aloud both documents in their entirety. (Copy of both in Ping Dep M/F #76 -9 -V) Mr. Charles Baker, Executive Director of the Tukwila Industrial Council, recalled that several drafts of the Sign Code were labored over by the Plan- ning Commission over a period of many, many months. It became apparent through all the Public Hearings and work meetings that the Sign Code, regardless of the number of drafts and amount of work, would never be capable of addressing every possible situation. Also stated his recollection that at the time of Council action it was acknowledged that modifications would be necessary in the future but it was necessary at that time to effectuate a Sign Code. Mr. Baker referred to the two existing freestanding signs located at the Doubletree Inn which are not cluttering and are attractive and serve a purpose. Stated his desire to see the existing readerboard remain in addition to the proposed sign. Chairperson Aitmayer stated her opinion that a hardship has not been demon- strated and, in fact, the identification problem can be resolved within the restrictions of the Sign Code without a variance. It appears that the variance is simply desired by the applicant where a hardship has not been demonstrated. Suggested the use of miscellaneous informational signs to properly direct people within the property. Also noted that all other properties have the right to erect one freestanding sign and, unless there are special circumstances, any variance to allow more than one freestanding sign would be a special privelege. Mr. Dow asked if the "Used Machinery Center' is licensed separately from the N.C. Machinery Company. Mr. Miller stated it is not licensed separately. Mr. Hartong noted several miscellaneous informational signs exist within the property to identify the other supportive divisions of N.C. Machinery such as Service, Parts, Storage. Noted his desire to see the proposed sign due to its attractive design and better location but agrees that no hardship has been demonstrated to justify a variance. In response to an inquiry by Mr. Duffle, Mr. Miller explained that each division, i.e., Sales, Service, Parts, has its own management and staff. Mr. Dow referred to each of the proponent's rebuttal conclusions and noted his inability to agree with the proponent's assertion that N.C. Machinery is being denied a basic right to identification. Stated they are asking, in fact, for a special privelege since all other properties are limited to one freestanding sign. Board of Adjustment Minutes Page 3 1 April 1976 Mr. Dale Fox, Tube -Art Displays, noted the proposal would result in 2 free- standing signs over a total of 1088 lineal feet of highway frontage. If the property was subdivided and several individual businesses were to locate there, then several freestanding signs would be allowed. Thus, the proposal furthers the purpose of the Sign Code. There being no further comments, Chairperson Altmayer closed the Public Hearing at 9:25 P.M. Considerable discussion ensued regarding contents of any motion for approval/ denial. Mr. Crutchfield explained a.. motion resulting in a formal action pursuant to a quasi - judicial action must include a reference to Findings and Conclusions. Motion by Mr. Duffie to grant the variance request. Motion failed for lack of a second. Some discussion ensued regarding alternatives to signing. Motion by Mr. Dow to deny the variance request based upon the Findings and Conclusions contained in the Staff Report in that primarily the granting of the variance would constitute a special privelege. Motion seconded by Mr. Hartong and carried. Mr. Baker thanked the Board members for their deliberation on this matter. Considerable discussion ensued among Board members as to the procedures and amount of time required in the enforcement of the Sign Code. Motion by Mr. Duffie, seconded by Mr. Dow and carried to adjourn the meeting. Chairperson Altmayer adjourned the regular April meeting at 10:15 P.M. Gary Crutchfi: d, Secretary of Adjustment Tukwila Board ■ 1 April 1976 AGENDA ITEM CITY OF TUKWILA PLANNING DEPARTMENT BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT STAFF REPORT • PUBLIC HEARING - VARIANCE - Additional Sign (NC Machinery) REQUEST: Additional Freestanding Sign APPLICANT: N.C. Machinery Company LOCATION: 17025 West Valley Highway 8:00 P.M. N.C. Machinery Company, in January 1976, applied for a Sign Permit to erect a second freestanding sign at their facility located at 17025 West Valley High- way. The application was placed before the Planning Commission because Section 19.32.140 (TMC) states in part... "One freestanding sign per building shall be allowed, except when buildings are supportive to the principle activity of a business where signs are allowed only for the principle use, unless specifically permitted by the Planning Commission." The Planning Commission reviewed the application at their regular meeting conducted 29 January 1976 and unanimously agreed the new freestanding sign could be permitted only if the existing free- standing sign was removed. N.C. Machinery Company has applied for a variance in accordance with Section 19.12.060 (TMC) and the public hearing has been duly advertised. FINDINGS 1. A freestanding sign, erected long before the effective date of the Sign Code, exists near the southern portion of the property. It consists of 160 square feet of sign area which states "N.C. Used Machinery Center" and includes a readerboard with which to advertise. 2. The applicant desires to erect a additional freestanding sign consisting of 288 square feet of sign area to identify their facility as N.C. Machi- nery Company. 3. Section 19.32.140 (A) states "One freestanding sign per building shall be allowed, except when buildings are supportive to the principle activity of a business where signs are allowed only for the principle use, unless specifically permitted by the Planning Commission." Board of Adjustment Staff Report Page 2 1 April 1976 4 4. The applicant deems the proposed freestanding sign necessary in addition to the existing freestanding sign due to the following: a. the N.C. Machinery property consists of 12 acres and includes more than 1000 feet of frontage along West Valley Highway; b. the Used Machinery Center portion of their facility is an autonomous operation and is merely related, not supportive, to the principle activity, that of N.C. Machinery Company 5 headquarters. ft c. a previously existing parapet wall sign which identified "N.C. Machinery Company" was removed last summer due to structural problems thus leaving that portion of their operation uniden- tified. 5. The proposed freestanding sign would be located approximately 280 feet north of the existing freestanding sign. 6. The purpose of the Sign Code is stated in Section 19.04.020 (1) as follows: "To establish standards and guidelines for the design, erection and installation of signs and visual communication devices so that the streets of Tukwila may appear orderly, and safety may be increased by reduction of clutter and distraction." CONCLUSIONS The following Conclusions are drawn from the Findings stated above as they relate to the criteria for variance consideration contained in Section 18.72.010 (1) - (6) and Section 19.12.080 (a) and (b). 1. The variance shall not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitation upon uses of other properties in the vicinity and in the zone in which the property on behalf of which the application was filed is located; All other properties in the vicinity of N.C. Machinery Company and located within the corporate limits of Tukwila are limited to one (1) freestanding sign as described in Section 19.32.140 (A). 2. That such variance is necessary because of special circumstances relating to the size, shape, topography, location or surrounding of the subject property, to provide it with use rights and privileges permitted to other properties in the vicinity and in the zone in which the subject property is located; The size of the property and the length of frontage along West Valley Highway do not constitute special circumstances which necessitate the granting of a variance. Identification of the supportive buildings or activities can be accomplished within the confines of the Sign Code such as the use of wall signs and miscellaneous informational signs. Thus, the variance is not necessary to provide the applicant use rights and priveleges permitted to other properties. Board of Adjustment Staff Report Page 3 1 April 1976 3. That the special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant; No special circumstances which necessitate a variance have been identi- fied; this criteria, therefore, is not applicable. 4. That the granting of such variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and in the zone in which the subject property is situated; The granting of this variance would neither be materially detrimental to the public welfare nor injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity. 5. The authorization of such variance will not adversely affect the implementation of the comprehensive land use plan; Implementation of the comprehensive land use plan would not be adversely affected by the granting of this variance. 6. That the granting of such a variance is necessary for the preserva- tion and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant possessed by the owners of other properties in the same zone or vicinity. As stated in Conclusion 1, the applicant maintains a substantial property right common to all other property owners without the granting of this variance. 7. (Section 19.12.080 (a)) All facts are presented and reviewed at an advertised public hearing, Consideration of this variance request has conformed to this requirement. 8. (Section 19.12.080 (b)) The proposed variance shall not interfere with the location and identification of adjacent business buildings or activities. The granting of this variance would not interfere with location and identification of adjacent business buildings or activities. SUMMARY It appears from the conclusions discussed above that a hardship which would allow the granting of the variance has not been demonstrated by the applicant. The underlying problem, with respect to the applicant, appears to be that the proposed identification scheme does not conform to the Sign Code. The characteristics of the total N.C. Machinery facility coupled with the expanse of their property con- stitute an identification problem which can be solved within the restrictions of the Sign Code. Board of Adjustment Staff Report Yl. Page 4 1 April 1976 RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Board of Adjustment find that the requested variance would constitute a grant of special privelege since a hardship has not been perceived and no special circumstances exist upon which to grant a variance, and the Board formally deny the variance request based upon the Findings and Conclusions con- tained in the Staff Report. :1 on_ 1,.: .. y461■4 Avs k ;; ,..

Tube -Art was aware of an existing sign on the south part of our property which serves our used machinery division. They cited section 19.32.140 of the Tukwila Sign Code which allows one free standing sign per building as the basis for approval of the application. We were surprised and disappointed to hear that the Planning Commission at its January 29th meeting would approve the application only if the existing "Used Machinery" sign was removed. I feel strongly that what we seek to do in this case would not in any way violate the intent of the Sign Code. Rather, it would enhance the appear- ance of our complex and provide much needed company identification which we have been totally without since removal last summer of the large signs on our building because of structural considerations (see photos). If you will consider the following facts and make an inspection of the site, I'm sure you will agree that installing the proposed sign and leaving the "Used Machinery" sign as is will work to no one's detriment. 1. Our Used Machinery division occupies a separate section of our property and has its own building. The activity at that operation is independent of our company head- quarters and, except that we have the space, might be located miles away. 2. The site of the proposed sign is approximately 280 feet north of the "Used Machinery" sign so that there will be no effect of "too many signs ".

TUKWILA, WASHINGTON 98067 PLANNING COMMISSION Minutes of the Meeting, 29 January 1976.. The regular January 1976 meeting, postponed from 22 January 1976, was called to order at 8:05 P.M. by Chairman Mettler. Members present were: Mr. Mettler, Mr. Link, Mr. West and Mr. Kirsop. Planning Department was represented by Fred Satterstrom and Gary Crutchfield. • Motion by Mr. Link, seconded by Mr. West and carried to approve the minutes of 18 December 1975 as prepared. Motion by Mr. Kirsop, seconded by Mr. Link and carried to postpone annual election of officers until the next regular meeting. Mr. Crutchfield read the Staff Report regarding City Council actions with respect to planning-related matters during the past month... PUBLIC HEARING REZONE from R -12 to R -7.2 (Homeco Realty) Mr. Crutchfield informed the Commission that a complete application had not been received as yet and that Staff recommends the matter not be heard or considered until such time as a complete application is received. General concensus of the Commission to not consider the application until complete. PUBLIC HEARING - PRELIMINARY PLAT (Todd) Mr. Crutchfield explained where the subject property is located, briefly described the proposed plat and read entire Staff Report including Findings, Conclusions and Recommendations. Chairman Mettler opened the Public Hearing at 8:25 P.M. and asked for comments from audience. Planning Commission Page 2 Minutes of the Meeting 29 January 1976 Frank Todd, 14446 - 59th Avenue South, proponent of the action, pointed out the Staff Report had been revised from what it contained a week ago. Noted the entire plat is intended to remain in private ownership and not for sale. Agreed that the private internal roads should serve all lots within the plat. Disagreed with Staff's recommendation for a wider roadway since no standards exist in the Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC) for private roads. Noted several examples of private roads which do not meet the recommendation of staff — 48th Avenue, Industry Drive and others. Disagreed with need for execution of Developer's Agreement for L.I.D. regarding 62nd Avenue since he will be putting in all necessary utilities and will agree to dedicate five (5) feet additional right - of -way along 62nd Avenue. Will not provide public access to the properties lying to the west since those properties can gain access from Southcenter Boulevard. Lastly noted the City Council had denied three rezone applications on this property in the past year which would have allowed a much better use of the property than the present zoning. Joseph Johanson, 6425 South 153rd Street, asked if the property will be used for a trailer park? Mr. Todd stated it could be. Mr. Johanson stated this property has an excellent view, both from it and to it, and the sight of a trailer park on this property would not be in the best interest of the community as a whole. Further noted his concern that South 153rd Street may be used as access to this property which would disrupt the single - family character of his neighborhood. Reiterated his objection to a trailer park in this location. Mr. Todd made reference to the Washington State Supreme Court Decisions making any trailer which meets Uniform Building Code requirements a lawful residence. Mr. Johanson stated his primary contention was that a trailer park at this site would not enhance the integrity of the Tukwila residential neighborhood. Mr. Todd noted that Mr. Johanson had voted against all three rezone applications when he was a council member and if he wanted a better use of the property then he should have voted for a rezone. Mr. Johanson pointed out that R -3 zoning allows a better development then a trailer park -- such as fourplexes. Mr. Link asked if the existing fire hydrants were adequate? Mr. Todd stated the existing hydrants meet Fire Code requirements. Mr. Link asked if 153rd Street could be extended westerly to provide access to the westerly properties? ( Planning Commission Page 3 Minutes of the Meeting 29 January 1976 Mr. Todd stated 153rd Street is a private road and reiterated that the property lying to the west of his property does not need access through his property. Mr. Frank Kriedler, 14734 - 59th Avenue South, asked if these lots will be sold? Mr. Todd stated he will build on the lots himself and they will not be sold. Mr. Kirsop asked if Mr. Todd had a typical plot plan. Mr. Todd stated no. Mr. West asked if the lot sizes conform to the zoning restrictions? Mr. Crutchfield stated they do. There being no further audience comments, Chairman Mettler closed the Public Hearing at 8:50 P.M. Mr. Link asked why Staff had recommended a 34 feet wide roadway easement? Mr. Crutchfield explained that the Planning Director, Public Works Director and Fire Chief had conferred and deemed the standards set forth in the sub- division title of the Tukwila Municipal Code to be the minimum roadway standard in a subdivision. Mr. Todd stated his belief that this was an illegal interpretation on the part of Staff — that a single - family home would need a 34 foot wide driveway. Mr. Link asked if 153rd Street can physically be extended. Mr. Crutchfield explained the extension would be difficult at best and that the State Highway Department owns right -of -way along the north line of South - center Boulevard and is intended to inhibit access to those properties originally abutting Southcenter Boulevard. Mr. Link asked if the loop system and dedication of utilities was really necessary? Mr. Todd stated the entire development will be private and there is no need for dedication of the utilities or design of a loop system. Motion by Mr. Kirsop that since the City Council will have the final say on this matter, the Commission recommends City Council approval of the preliminary plat subject to the following conditions: 1. A ditch section be designed in accordance with Tukwila Municipal Code standards for storm water runoff. 2. Monumentation of each corner of the subdivision and each lot line as it intersects with any of the road easements. Planning Commission Page 4 Minutes of the Meeting 29 January 1976 3. Dedication of five (5) feet of additional public right -of -way along the entire east property line adjacent to 62nd Avenue South. Motion seconded by Mr. Link and CARRIED. Mr. Crutchfield suggested the Commission hear Agenda items VII and VIII prior to conducting the remainder of new business. Motion by Mr. Link, seconded by Mr. Kirsop and carried to consider Agenda items VII and VIII next. SIGN - NC Machinery Mr. Crutchfield read the Staff Report explaining NC Machinery desired to erect a freestanding sign in addition to an existing freestanding sign located in the southern portion of the property. In accordance with Section 19.32.140 (A), Staff recommended approval of the proposed sign only if the existing sign was removed. Dale Box, Tube -Art Displays, stated he was told over the phone last week that the sign would be approved and the existing sign allowed to remain. Mr. Crutchfield stated he had no knowledge of any such telephone conversation and that he was the only one familiar with the application. Mr. Link noted that if the Commission allowed two signs here, Cal -Ore Machinery could do the same as well as any other business that claimed supportive buildings need seperate identification. Mr. Crutchfield stated the property is under one ownership and the Used Machinery Center is supportive to the principal activity; therefore the property is limited to:.one freestanding sign in accordance with Section 19.32.140 (A) unless specifically approved by the Planning Commission. Motion by Mr. Kirsop, seconded by Mr. West to approve the proposed freestanding sign subject to removal of the existing freestanding sign and that the script on the proposed sign be limited to: NC Machinery Company and CATERPILLAR. Motion CARRIED. Mr. Norm Summers, NC Machinery, stated the business per se has no identification at the present time and they simply want to attractively identify the business as NC Machinery. Chairman Mettler informed Mr. Summers of the variance procedure available to him should he desire to pursue the matter further. The Commission feels the Code should be adhered to unless there is a hardship — that is to be determined by the Board of Adjustment through the variance procedure. Planning Commission Page 5 Minutes of the Meeting 29 January 1976 SITE PLAN - McCann Project #300 Mr. Crutchfield read the Staff Report explaining the location, design and general information of the proposed building. Noted several deficiencies on the site plan and recommended compliance with all stipulations recommended in the Staff Report. Motion by Mr. Link, seconded by Mr. West and carried to approve the site plan subject to the following conditions: 1. The site plan be revised to indicate provision of 93 parking spaces. 2. That all 90 degree parking spaces be a minimum width of 9 feet. 3. The curb cut at the south end of the property not exceed 40 feet. 4. That a detailed landscape plan be reviewed and approved prior to issuance of occupancy permit. 5. That all of the above, except #4, be approved by the Planning Department piror to issuance of a Building Permit. PUBLIC HEARING - OPEN SPACE ELEMENT Mr. Satterstrom briefly outlined the progress to date on the Comprehensive Plan noting the Staff is keeping up with the schedule and the City Council is falling a little behind. Mr. Kirsop introduced those Committee members present -- Mr. and Mrs. Bud Bohrer, Mrs. Avery and Mrs. Walker. Noted their enthusiastic participation and thanked them for their input. Chairman Mettler opened the Public Hearing at 9:40 P.M. Mr. Satterstrom rioted the Committee members present would be best - suited to answer any questions. The entire Open Space Element was read aloud by Staff and Commissioners. Chairman Mettler asked for any comments from the audience. - Mr. Bud Bohrer, 14731 - 59th Avenue South, noted there are a number of people interested in the community and who want to help maintain the rather unique and pleasant environment in which they live. Strongly feels these policies need to be adopted and implemented ensure the protection of that environment. Expressed his appreciation for the opportunity to participate in the committee. There being no further audience comments, Chairman Mettler closed the Public Hearing at 10:15 P.M. No changes were proposed by the Planning Commission, audience or staff. Planning Commission Page 6 Minutes of the Meeting 29 January 1976 Motion by Mr. Link, seconded by Mr. West and carried to forward the Open Space Element with the recommendation for adoption by the City Council as an Element of the Comprehensive Plan. PUBLIC HEARING - Park and Open Space Program Chairman Mettler opened the Public Hearing at 10:25 P.M. Carl Stixrood, Park Program consultant, explained the process employed in the development of the Program draft submitted to the Commission this evening. Explained the general purpose and noted meetings were conducted with the Park Board and an open citizens meeting was conducted to receive input regarding priorities. Briefly described the proposed Capital Improvement Program, funding sources and priorities. Generally described and explained drawings of each project proposed within the Program. General discussion of some of the projects ensued. Motion by Mr. Link, seconded by Mr. West and carried that due to the late hour and the need to go over this more thoroughly to recess this Public Hearing'until the next regular meeting. Motion by Mr. Link, seconded by Mr. West and carried to adjourn the regular January meeting. Chairman Mettler adjourned the meeting at 10:55 P.M. Richard Kirsop, Vice- Chairman Tukwila Planning Commission CITY OF TUKWILA PLANNING DEPARTMENT PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT 29 January 1976 8:00 P.M. AGENDA ITEM VII A : Additional Freestanding Sign (N.C. Machinery) N.C. Machinery has proposed the erection of a freestanding sign to be located in their landscape area near West Valley Highway and perpendicular to the street as depicted in Exhibit "A ". Staff has assembled the following information with regard to their application for sign permit. FINDINGS: 1. A double -face, freestanding sign exists in a perpendicular location 80 feet south of the south entrance to the N.C. Machinery parking lot. This sign constitutes 160 square feet of sign area. 2. The proposed double -face, freestanding sign would be located approx- imately 160 feet north of the south entrance to the N.C. Machinery parking lot. This sign would constitute an additional 288 square feet of sign area. 3. Section 19.32.140 (A) states "One freestanding sign per building shall be allowed, except when buildings are supportive to the principle activity of a business where signs are allowed only for the principle use, unless specifically permitted by the Planning Commission." 4. The existing sign identifies the "Used Machinery Center" of N.C. Machinery. 5. The "Used Machinery Center" of the N.C. Machinery development appears to be a supportive use to the principle activity in consideration of the relation to each of the buildings and the fact both uses are under one ownership. 6. The proposed sign is requested to be in addition to the existing freestanding sign. CONCLUSION: Staff concludes that the "Used Machinery Center" located in the southern portion of the N.C. Machinery property is an activity supportive to the principle use and can be identified by a wall sign in conformance with the Sign Code. Planning Commission Staff Report fr Page 2 29 January 1976 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Planning Commission not allow an additional freestanding sign in conflict with the Sign Code. Should the existing freestanding sign be removed, the proposed sign would conform to the Sign Code and be approved. h ' • int civ iER pi LL UCI LiFT TRUCI - USED MACHINERY CENTER M -- r 81(808 f RECEIPT Date;�i2.:�c.�' mil'•; C 19 � 0 593 Received From ,7 .

PAID CHECK DU,. O ?DE4 \ -- r 81(808 N C's STATEMENT TO THE CRD MR. CHAIRMAN: MANY YEARS AGO, N C MACHINERY CONSTRUCTED ITS FACILITY AT 17025 WEST VALLEY HIGHWAY. AS PART OF THE ORIGINAL DESIGN, A HIGH PARAPET WALL WAS.BUILT ON TOP OF THE MAIN BUILDING TO CARRY THE N C MACHINERY CO, SIGN, THE SOLE PURPOSE OF THE WALL WAS TO CARRY THIS SIGN, THE WALL AND ITS SIGN SERVED AS OUR IDENTIFICATION FOR APPROXIMATELY ELEVEN YEARS UNTIL LAST SUMMER WHEN ITS REMOVAL WAS NECESSARY DUE TO A SEVERELY WEAKENED STRUCTURAL CONDITION, SINCE THAT TIME N C MACHINERY CO. HAS BEEN TOTALLY WITHOUT COMPANY IDENTIFICATION, AS WITH MOST BUSINESSES, A MAJOR PORTION OF THE BUSINESS IS DEPENDENT UPON THE CUSTOMER BEING ABLE TO READILY LOCATE THE BUSINESS PREMISES. OUR LACK OF COMPANY IDENFICATION VERY EFFECTIVELY PREVENTS OUR CUSTOMERS FROM LOCATING OUR PREMISES, N C IS CURRENTLY LAUNCHING A MAJOR ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN INVOLVING ALL OF THE MEDIA COVERING WESTERN WASHINGTON, ALASKA AND THE YUKON TERRITORY OF CANADA WHICH IS EXPECTED TO REACH IN EXCESS OF EIGHT MILLION PEOPLE, EACH OF THESE ADS CARRIES THE ADDRESS OF THE LOCAL N C STORE AS WELL AS THE ADDRESS OF THE MAIN STORE ON WEST VALLEY HIGHWAY IN TUKWILA. EASH OF THESE ADS IS ASKING PEOPLE TO COME TO N C FOR THEIR EQUIPMENT, PARTS AND SERVICE NEEDS, IN OUR PRESENT SITUATION,'. THERE IS NO WAY FOR POTENTIAL CUSTOMER TO LOCATE THE N C PREMISES, OUR PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN SUCH A MANNER THAT DUE TO THE VAGARIES OF NATURE AND THE. ORGINAL ROAD BUILDERS, THE ONLY WAY WE CAN ADEQUATELY PROVIDE THIS IDENFICATION IS THROUGH THE USE OF A SIGN AT THE FRONT OF OUR BUILDING, THE DESIGN OF THE STRUCTURE IN ITS PRESENT CONFORMATION DICTATES THE USE OF A FREE STAND — ING SIGN. THE EXISTING SIGN CANNOT BE USED IN ANY MANNER AS COMPANY IDENTIFICATION, IT IS A READERBOARD USED TO ADVERTISE SPECIAL 'BUYS IN USED EQUIPMENT AND ,.IS LOCATED TO THE SOUTH OF THE SOUTHERNMOST ENTRANCE TO OUR PREMISES, IT ... PAGE 2, IS 280 FEET SOUTH OF THE SITE FOR THE PROPOSED NEW SIGN. PLEASE REFER TO THE SITE PLANS AND PHOTOGRAPHS AND YOU CAN READILY SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, N C HAS SPENT CONSIDERABLE TIME IN DEVELOPING A BASIC SIGN CONCEPT WHICH REFLECTS THE AREA WE LIVE IN, OUR MAJOR MARKETS AND THE QUALITY OF • OUR PRODUCT LINE. MANY DESIGNS WERE EVALUATED IN AN ATTEMPT TO FIND THE ONE WHICH WOULD BEST FIT OUR BASIC CONCEPT AND BE IN AGREEMENT WITH SECTION 19.04.020 (1) OF THE SIGN CODE WHICH STATES THE PURPOSE OF THE • CODE. WE ARE IN FULL AGREEMENT WITH THE. PURPOSE OF THE SIGN CODE AND DESIRE TUKWILA TO BE AS ATTRACTIVE AS POSSIBLE. WE REALIZE THAT WHAT IS GOOD FOR THE CITY IS GOOD FOR US AND WHAT IS GOOD FOR US IS, OF COURSE, GOOD FOR THE CITY IN THE FORM OF ADDITIONAL TAX REVENUE. WE ALSO REALIZE THAT THERE ARE TIMES WHEN IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF • BOTH PARTIES, THAT PROVISIONS OF THE CODE MUST BE SET ASIDE OR MODIFIED TO ALLOW FOR THE CONTINUED PROGRESS OF BOTH THE COMMUNITY AND ITS BUSINESS AREA. WE AT N C FEEL VERY STRONGLY THAT WE HAVE BEEN DENIED OUR BASIC RIGHT TO BUSINESS IDENTIFICATION AND THAT WITHOUT THIS IDENTIFICATION, OUR BUSI- NESS HAS AND WILL CONTINUE TO SUFFER. WE FEEL THAT WE HAVE VERY ADEQUATELY DEMONSTRATED A NEED FOR VARIANCE TO THE SIGN CODE AND ASK THAT THE BOARD RULE IN OUR FAVOR. • (l REBUTTA 0 T i CO" C USIOP S OF IE S POR CONCLUSLoi THE FOLLOWING CONCLUSIONS ARE DRAWN FROM THE F I N D I N G S STATED ABOVE AS THEY RELATE TO THE CRITERIA FOR VARIANCE CONSIDERATION CONTAINED I11 SECTION 1 '4.72.010 (1) — (6) AND SECTION 19.12.080 (A) AND (B). 1. THE VARIANCE SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE A GRANT OF SPECIAL PRIVILEGES INCONSISTENT WITH THE LIMITATION UPON USES OF OTHER PROPERTIES IN THE VICINITY AND IN THE. ZONE IN WHICH THE PROPERTY ON BEHALF OF WHICH THE APPLICATION WAS FILED IS LOCATED; . ALL OTHER PROPERTIES IN THE VICINITY OF N C MACHINERY CO. AND LOCATED WITHIN THE CORPORATE LIMITS OF TUKWILA ARE LIMITED TO ONE (1) FREESTANDING SIGN AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 19.32.140 (A). ALL OF THE BUSINESSES IN THE VICINITY DO NOT HAVE FREE STANDING SIGNS. THE ONLY OTHER ONES ARE CAL —ORE EQUIPMENT AND THE USED MACHINERY CENTER. ALL OF THE OTHERS HAVE WALL SIGNS. IF STAFF WOULD CONSIDER THE USED EQUIP — MEdT CENTER AS A SEPARATE BUSINESS, WHICH IT IS, WE SHOULDN'T EVEN BE HERE. SINCE ALL OF THE OTHER BUSINESSES IN OUR IM['1EDIATE VICINITY DO NOT HAVE FREE STANDING SIGNS, WE FEEL THAT THE GRANTING OF THIS VARIANCE WOULD NOT BE A GRANT OF SPECIAL PRIVILEGE AND THAT THE STAFF COMMENT IS THUS NULL AND VOID. 2. THAT SUCH VARIANCE IS NECESSARY BECAUSE OF SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES RELATING TO THE SIZE, SHAPE, TOPOGRAPHY, LOCATION OR SURROUNDING OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, TO PROVIDE IT WITH USE RIGHTS.AND PRIVI LEGES PERMITTED TO OTHER PROPERTIES IN THE VICINITY AND IN THE ZONE IN WHICH THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED; • THE SIZE OF THE PROPERTY AND THE LENGTH OF FRONTAGE ALONG WEST VALLEY HIGHWAY DO NOT CONSTITUTE SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH NECESSITATE THE GRANTING OF A VARIANCE. IDENTIFICATION OF THE SUPPORTIVE BUILDINGS OR ACTIVITIES •CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED WITHIN THE CONFINES OF THE SIGN CODE SUCH AS THE USE OF WALL SIGNS AND MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATIONAL SIGNS., THUS, THE VARIANCE IS NOT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE THE APPLICANT USE RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES PERMITTED TO OTHER PROPERTIES. PAGE 2. C •IDENTIFICATION OF THE USED EQUIPMENT BUILDING, BY CODE, WOULD BE LIMITED TO 16 SQUARE FEET. THIS BUILDING IS BLOCKED FROM A VIEW FROM THE HIGHWAY BY OUR MAIN B U I L D I N G AND BY THE USED EQUIPMENT I N THAT YARD. THIS MEANS THAT THE EXISTING READERBOARD IS NECESSARY TO THE OPERATION OF THAT BUSINESS AND THAT THE VARIANCE IS NECESSARY TO PROPERLY IDENTIFY THE BUSI- NESS. HERE AGAIN, IF THE USED EQUIPMENT CENTER WERE CONSIDERED BY STAFF IN ITS TRUE LIGHT, WE WOULDN'T BE ASKING FOR .VARIANCE. THE CONCLUSION BY STAFF THAT THIS B U I L D I N G CAN BE IDENTIFIED BY OTHER MEANS I S ERRONEOUS. 3. THAT THE SPECIAL CONDITIONS AND CIRCUMSTANCES DO NOT RESULT FROM THE ACTIONS OF THE APPLICANT; No SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH NECESSITATE A VARIANCE HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED; THIS CRITERIA, THEREFORE, IS NOT APPLICABLE. • N C MACHINERY FEELS THAT THE SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING THIS CASE ARE THE FAILURE OF THE PREVIOUSLY EXISTING SIGN WALL AND THAT THIS CONDITION WAS BROUGHT ABOUT BY CONDITIONS BEYOND.OUR CONTROL. 4. THAT THE GRANTING OF SUCH VARIANCE WILL NOT BE MATERIALLY DETRI- MENTAL TO THE PUBLIC WELFARE OR INJURIOUS TO THE PROPERTY OR IMPROVEMENTS IN THE VICINITY AND IN THE ZONE IN WHICH THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS SITUATED; THE GRANTING OF THIS VARIANCE WOULD NEITHER BE MATERIALLY DETRI MENTAL TO THE PUBLIC WELFARE NOR INJURIOUS TO THE PROPERTY OR IMPROVEMENTS IN THE VICINITY. N C AGREES WITH THE STAFF CONCLUSION AND WISHES TO STATE THAT ERECTION OF THE PROPOSED SIGN WOULD BE OF DEFINITE IMPROVEMENT TO THE AREA WHERE WE ARE LOCATED. THE GRANTING OF THIS VARIANCE WOULD, THEREFORE, BE IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST. 5. THE AUTHORIZATION OF SUCH VARIANCE WILL NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN; IMPLEMENTATION OF THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN WOULD NOT BE' ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY THE GRANTING OF THIS VARIANCE. WE AGREE AND HAVE NO FURTHER COMMENT. PAGE 3. 6. THAT THE GRANTING OF SUCH A VARIANCE IS NECESSARY FOR THE PRESER VATION AND ENJOYMENT OF A SUBSTANTIAL PROPERTY RIGHT OF THE APPLI CANT POSSESSED BY THE OWNERS OF OTHER PROPERTIES IN THE SAME ZONE OR VICINITY. As STATED IN CONCLUSION 1, THE APPLICANT MAINTAINS A SUBSTANTIAL . PROPERTY RIGHT COMMON TO ALL OTHER PROPERTY OWNERS WITHOUT THE GRANTING OF THIS VARIANCE. WE DEFINATELY DISAGREE WITH THE STAFF'S CONCLUSIONS. WE ARE BEING DENIED THE RIGHT AND PRIVILEGE TO ADEQUATELY IDENTIFY OUR BUSINESS. OUR NEIGHBORING BUSINESSES HAVE IDENTIFICATION BY THE MEANS OF THEIR CHOICE. WE DO NOT. A FREE STANDING SIGN IS THE ONLY WAY WE CAN IDENTIFY. THE CONFORMATION OF OUR MAIN BUILDINGS WILL NOT ALLOW USE OF WALL SIGNS. WE AGAIN STATE THAT THE USED EQUIPMENT CENTER IS A SEPARATE ENTITY AND HAD THIS. FACT BEEN RECOGNIZED AT THE OUTSET, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO NEED FOR ' A HEARING BY THE PLANNING COMMISSIOII -- LET ALONE A VARIANCE PROCEEDING. THE PHYSICAL''FACTS OF THE MATTER PRECLUDE ANY KIND OF SIGN EXCEPT THE FREE STANDING ONE. THE USED EQU I PMENT . S I GN I S 280 FEET FROM THE NEW S I G N . THERE WILL BE ABSOLUTELY NO EFFECT OF "TOO MANY SIGNS ". THE FACTS OF THE LONG FRONTAGE ALONE MEAN THAT THE GRANTING OF A VARIANCE WOULD IN NO WAY CONTRA- VENE THE MEANING OF THE SIGN CODE, "TO PREVENT CLUTTERED STREETS ". 7. (SECTION 19.12.080 (A)) ALL FACTS ARE PRESENTED AND REVIEWED AT AN ADVERTISED PUBLIC HEARING, CONSIDERATION OF THIS VARIANCE REQUEST HAS CONFORMED TO THIS REQUIREMENT. AGREE - NO COMMENT. 8. (SECTION 19.12.080 (B)) THE PROPOSED VARIANCE SHALL NOT INTERFERE WITH THE LOCATION AND IDENTIFICATION OF ADJACENT BUSINESS BUILD INGS OR ACTIVITIES. THE GRANTING OF THIS VARIANCE WOULD NOT INTERFERE WITH LOCATION AND IDENTIFICATION OF ADJACENT BUSINESS BUILDINGS OR ACTIVITIES. AGREE - NO COMMENT. 'PAGE 4, SUMMARY • IT APPEARS FROM THE CONCLUSIONS DISCUSSED ABOVE THAT A HARDSHIP WHICH WOULD ALLOW THE GRANTING OF THE VARIANCE HAS NOT BEEN DEMONSTRATED BY THE APPLICANT, THE UNDERLYING PROBLEM, WITH THE RESPECT TO THE APPLICANT, APPEARS TO BE THAT THE PROPOSED - IDENTIFICATION SCHEME DOES NOT CONFORM TO THE SIGN CODE, THE CHARACTERSITICS OF THE TOTAL N C MACHINERY FACILITY COUPLED WITH THE EXPANSE OF THEIR PROPERTY CONSTITUTE AN IDENTIFICATION PROBLEM WHICH BE SOLVED WITHIN THE RESTRICTIONS OF THE SIGN CODE, N C DOES NOT WISH TO TAKE UP FURTHER TIME ICJ A LENGTHY REBUTTAL OF THE STAFF'S SUMMARY, WE FEEL THAT WE HAVE ADEQUATELY AND DEFINITELY ESTABLISHED THAT A HARDSHIP EXISTS THAT CAN ONLY BE SOLVED THROUGH THE GRANTING OF A VARIANCE WHICH WILL ALLOW US TO ERECT OUR SIGN AS PLANNED, WE FEEL THAT WE DO MEET ALL OF THE CRITERIA FOR THE GRANTING OF AVARIANCE AS DEMONSTRATED IN OUR REBUTTAL OF STAFF'S CONCLUSIONS, WE ASK THAT THE REQUESTED VARIANCE BE GRANTED AND THAT, IN THE EVENT ANY OF THE BOARD MEMBERS ARE IN DOUBT AS TO ANY OF THE ISSUES THAT A RULING BE POSTPONED UNTIL THE BOARD, AS A GROUP, CAN COME TO OUR OFFICE TO VIEW THE SITUATION AS IT IS AND SEE WHAT WE ARE SPEAKING OF FIRST - HAND, • This variance, asking for permission to have more than one free standing sign is being made in accordance with Section 19.12.060 of the Tukwila Municipal Code. Our application for permit was rejected by the planning commission at its regular meeting on January 29, 1976, unless we remove the one free standing sign which identifies our Used Machinery operation. This existing sign in no way identifies the portion of our business known as N C Machinery Company, and, except that we have space, could be miles away. Since last summer when we were forced to remove the large signs on the parapet wall atop our building because of structural problems within that wall, we have been totally without company identification. This lack of identification is causing confusion and concern among our present customers and is detrimental to our business in that potential customers are unable to readily locate our premises. The sign we propose to erect is very low key and conveys an aire of quiet good taste and quality. This sign will be erected 280 feet to the north of the Used Machinery Center sign. On a highway frontage of over 1,000 feet there will absolutely not effect of too many signs. In order to alleviate this business hardship, we ask that variance be granted permitting us to erect our new sign as planned. I, FRFD B.
