L99 -0064 QUIK PARK 3610 So. 158t" St. PECIAL PERMISSION) October 21, 2002 City of Tukwila Steven M. Mullet, Mayor Department of Community Development Michael Aippersbach Michael Aippersbach & Associates P.O. Box 95429 Seattle, Washington 98145 VIA FAX 206 - 524 -0337 Re: Quik Park (aka Shuttle Park 2) 3610 South 158th L99 -0064 (Special Permission — Sign) Gentlemen: Shawn Bowen Tube Art P.O. Box 34333 Seattle, Washington 98124 VIA FAX 206 - 223 -1123 Steve Lancaster, Director Your October 10, 2002 submittal proposes the following changes to the design of the freestanding sign (which was previously approved by the Board of Architectural Review ( "BAR ") on February 22, 2001 under File L99- 0010): 1. The sign will be double -sided and oriented east -west. The west side of the sign face is facing away from residential uses and will contain one static LED readerboard that will occupy the bottom third of that sign face. No readerboard will be placed on the east side of the sign. The readerboard will use amber text and a black background. The message content on the readerboard will consist of the hours of operation (24 hours) and the hourly parking rate at the facility. The static LED readerboard message will not change more frequently than every 24 hours. 2. The top two- thirds of the west side of the sign and the entire face of the east side of the sign will be plastic. These plastic faces will use a blue background matching the color of the trim on the facility buildings. The facility name and associated logo appearing on the plastic sign faces will read "ShuttlePark2" and "SP2" respectively. The facility name "ShuttlePark2" will be yellow. Other text will be white. Based on your October 10th submittal, you have not changed the sign's location, height nor the size of the sign faces (as previously approved by the BAR). Approvals Based on your October 10th proposal described above and per the conditions of TMC 19.32.120, we do not believe that the monument sign design will "contribute to a cluttered or confusing condition nor would generally degrade the physical appearance or character of the street or neighborhood." Additionally, per TMC 18.60.030(D), the above - referenced design changes are approved as minor, insignificant modifications which will have no impact on the project design. Accordingly, review and consideration by the BAR is not required under L99 -0010. However, pertinent changes should be reflected in the plans of any pending or proposed sign permits. 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • Phone: 206 - 431 -3670 • Fax: 206 - 431 -3665 •z w e:2 • :V O 0: cn w' w w O; g- N = C1 o z1- ww O 0 H ww u' O _z iu o O z Yy Michael Aippersbach Shawn Bowen October 21, 2002 Page 2 Sion Permit Application Information Per our September 25th letter to you, your application for a freestanding (monument) sign permit is incomplete. You may now submit your application for a sign permit to the attention of Minnie Dhaliwal. She can be reached at 206 -431 -3685. The sign permit application must contain all of the following information: a. Permanent Sign Application. The application you submitted is outdated and no longer used by the City of Tukwila.

Three sets of plans, dimensioned and scaled, showing property lines, streets, buildings and the location of all proposed signs and setbacks to property lines. c. Application Fee. The application fee is $100. We returned your check for $50.00 to you on September 25th.

The proposed design modification will require the bottom third of the original design to be replaced with a static. (will not change) LED reader board. Said reader board will be located on the west panel of the sign, and away from residential uses. The color of the text will be amber and the background black. The message content will consist of the parking rate and hours of operation. The power consumption of the text message will be approximately 25watts. The sign in question will not move, rotate nor flash, however, will display a static message for 24 hours. The dimensions of said sign are less than 60 square feet per face and less than 16' 0" to grade, with a set back greater than 8' 0 ". In reviewing the City of Tukwila sign code, section 19.08.030, Animated Sign, the sign as proposed, is defined in the above stated code as a Non - Animated sign. Therefore, the sign as proposed, is not consistent with the definition of an Animated sign; due to the fact that the sign in question is not animated, said sign is not subject to section 19.28.010, item 3, Animated Signs, of the City of Tukwila's sign code. However, the sign in question is allowed under section 19.32.120, item C of the same code. We feel our proposal is consistent with the City of Tukwila sign code, therefore, Tube Art Displays, Inc. is requesting administrative approval of the altered design from the Director of Community Development. Please feel free to contact me at, 206.223.1122, if you should have any questions. Sincerely, TUBE ART DISPLAYS, INC.

Box 95429 Seattle, Washington 98145 VIA FAX 206 - 524 -0337 Re: Quik Park (aka Shuttle Park 2) 3610 South 158th L99 -0064 (Special Permission — Sign) Dear Michael and Shawn: Shawn Bowen Tube Art P.O. Box 34333 Seattle, Washington 98124 VIA FAX 206 - 223 -1123 Steve Lancaster, Director On September 13th, you submitted a sign permit application for the Shuttle Park 2 monument sign. As we discussed during our phone conversations on September 18th, your current proposal is different from the design that was approved by the Planning Commission on February 22, 2001. These differences include some changes in sign face color and, more importantly, the addition of a message center on the west side of the proposed sign. We have carefully reviewed your application packet and have the following comments. 1. Message Center The proposed message center must comply with TMC 19.08.030 regarding animated signage. TMC 19.08.030 defines an animated sign as "any sign or portion which physically moves, including rotation or on which lettering or figures appear to move due to flashing lights. However changes in background or border lighting which occur at a rate of no more than ten times per minute and which utilize lamps of no more than 15 watts are classified as non - animated portions of a sign ". PLEASE NOTE: the definition of animated signs draws a distinction between a change of a sign display and a border lighting and /or background change. A border lighting and /or background change is allowed as long as it meets the requirements for rate of change and illumination listed above. Changes of the sign display are considered animation and such changes are prohibited per TMC 19.28.010(3), unless approved under a Type 2 Special Permission - Sign permit application. The Special Permission application must adequately demonstrate that the proposed signage will meet the criteria provided in TMC 19.28.010(3), limiting sign display changes to time, date, temperature and business hours. 2. Special Permission - Sign The previous monument sign design was subject to the criteria provided in TMC 19.32.120, due to its proximity to a low- density residential zone ( "LDR "). Under that criteria, the sign could not "contribute to a cluttered or confusing condition nor would generally degrade the physical appearance or character of the street or neighborhood." 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • Phone: 206 - 431 -3670 • Fax: 206 - 431 -3665 I I- ,t_ w JV. • 0 0, co 0 cnw w =, J H.

However, if the Director of Community Development determines that the changes are minor and insignificant modifications, the changes may be approved administratively. Therefor, if you wish to forego a second review by the BAR under your existing Special Permission approval, you must now provide additional information. This information must be reviewed and approved administratively prior to the issuance of any sign permit for the proposed monument sign. Please provide the following: a. A letter containing the following: 1) a description of the proposed design changes and how they will differ from the previously approved design; 2) a narrative demonstrating that the proposed changes are minor and insignificant and how they satisfy the requirements of TMC 19.08.030, 19.28.010 and 19.32.120; and 3) a request for administrative approval of the new design by the Director of Community Development. Your description should contain specifics about the message center such as chosen colors for text and background, brightness and illumination levels and the actual text that will be displayed (i.e., time, date, temperature and /or business hours). Please also specify that the message center will be placed on the west side of the sign, away from residential uses. b. Four color copies (dimensioned and scaled) that accurately illustrate the design and colors of the monument sign as it is now being proposed. Separate elevations for the west and east faces of the sign must be provided and clearly labeled. 3. Sign Permit — Monument Sign Your application for a freestanding (monument) sign permit is incomplete. Once you have obtained administrative approval as described in Item 2 above, you may submit your application for a sign permit. This application must contain all of the following information: a. Permanent Sign Application. The application you submitted is outdated and no longer used by the City of Tukwila. We have supplied a copy of the current application for your convenience. b. Three sets of plans, dimensioned and scaled, showing property lines, streets, buildings and the location of all proposed signs and setbacks to property lines. c. Sign elevations for both sides of the proposed sign, labeled "east" and "west'. The elevations shall include area calculations and dimensions. The sign elevations shall match those administratively approved under Item 2 above. d. Supporting structure and method of illumination. The information regarding illumination shall match that administratively approved under Item 2 above. e. Application Fee. The application fee is $100.

We have completed our detailed review of that documentation. However, certain additional information is still needed from you to ensure that the project meets the substantive requirements of the City and to complete our review process. We have the following comments: GENERAL COMMENTS: We recommend that you update and consolidate the various sets of plans that have been submitted since your original application in February, 1999. That resulting plan set should respond to the following technical review comments. Please provide five copies of the plan set for routing to affected departments. 1. To aid our review, please identify the locations of the latest revisions on each plan sheet. This can be accomplished by surrounding each revised area with a circle or similar visual cue. 2. There are a number of inconsistencies between the information provided in the revised SEPA checklist and the revised plan set (both submitted to this office on May 30, 2000). They are as follows: SEPA Checklist Plans Size of Project Site 396,900 s.f. (9.11 acres) 410,500 s.f. (9.42 acres) Size of Office Building 360 s.f. and 976 s.f. 1,120 s.f.

However, the following points are emphasized: SENSITIVE AREAS ORDINANCE: Urban Environmentalist's comments z CY i_ W 3. The wetland located on the south side of the site is exempt from regulation due to its z F small size (less than 1,000 s.f.) and its rating as a Type 3. Please include this wetland's f- O boundary and size on the site plan and label it "Type 3 - Exempt ". w w 4. A wetland analysis was prepared by B- twelve Associates (dated September 26, 2000) 0 N SS regarding the wetland located on the north portion of the project site. The analysis Op H concluded the area does not meet the criteria for hydric soils and will not be considered a W w. wetland. However, the analysis must be revised to include more accurate soil data and a 1 2 discussion explaining how this relates to the 1987 Army Corp of Engineers Manual u- 0: wetland determination methodology. :•• ti Z 0 N: 0 ~' z 5. To date, your consultants' information pertaining to the watercourse corridor (Gilliam Creek) on the western portion of the site has been conflicting and inconsistent. Revisions and changes are required to resolve sensitive area issues and mapping problems and to make this information consistent. These revisions and changes should be addressed in one wetland evaluation report. The revised information must be submitted by one wetland consultant verifying or re- delineating all of the watercourse and wetland areas in this portion of the site. Please label the wetland and watercourse with the appropriate ratings. Planning Department comments 6. Sheet 13 provides a listing of the trees to be removed from sensitive areas (Le., located outside of the right -of -way and on slopes 20% and higher). However, per our April 28th letter, a tree replacement table (meeting the criteria of TMC 18.54.130(3)(B)) is still required. Please add the replacement table to Sheet 13. SPECIAL PERMISSION - WETLAND BUFFER REDUCTION: Planning Department comments 7. Based upon your evaluation of the wetland, you have requested that the required 25 -foot wetland buffer be reduced by 50% to 12.5 feet. Per TMC18.45.040(C)(4)(a), the wetland buffer may only be reduced to 15 feet. As stated above, please revise all affected plans to reflect the proposed 15 -foot wide wetland buffer and relocate all fencing and hard surfaces Michael Aippersbach October 31, 2000 Page 3 outside the buffer. PLEASE NOTE: You may wish to re- evaluate the need to reduce the buffer setback before resubmitting your revised plan sets. DESIGN REVIEW: Planning Department comments 8. The Design Review Application, Exhibit A, contains numerous blanks that must be completed. 9. Sheets 8, 9 and 15 are inconsistent with Sheets L1 and L2. We have the following comments: • The area from south of the maintenance building to the area north of the propane tank is inconsistent in these five plan sheets (parking areas versus landscaped areas). • The parking spaces on the east side of the maintenance building appear on some plan sheets and not on others. In any case, they should be eliminated as they create a conflict with the parking spaces directly south of the maintenance building. The required fencing around the propane tank must be shown (inside of, and in addition to, the bollards) on all plan sheets. • In some plans, the bus parking is shown in front of, and blocking, passenger spaces. In other plans, bus parking is shown as a separate, striped area. 10. On Sheet 7, the number of compact stalls in the second row of cars from the north property line should be shown as 57 cars, not 47 cars. Of the total 1,038 parking spaces, please break out the number of regular, compact and handicap spaces on this sheet. 11. You have indicated that a 10 foot utility easement lies outside the north property line, running through a portion of the existing stand of trees. Please provide a copy of this easement and also locate the easement dimensions on the site plan. 12. The east elevation on Sheet 2/3 should contain the same "sunburst" architectural detail as shown on the other elevations. 13. Landscaping, where it occurs, should be reflected in the applicable elevation views on Sheets 1/3, 2/3 and 3/3. Building Official- Senior Plans Examiner comments 14.

Where practical, the accessible route of travel shall not cross lanes of vehicular traffic. 15. Although your proposed accommodation plan for disabled customers is probably in the best interest of Quik Park, it will not be required. The parking lot is not related to, or in support of, any building. Therefore, under Table 11f of the Uniform Building Code, handicapped parking for customers is not required. It is the responsibility of the owner to provide or not provide for customers with disabilities as it relates to the parking lot. Public Works Department comments None. Fire Department comments • None. SPECIAL PERMISSION -SIGN: Planning Department comments 16. As we discussed, your Special Permission Sign application will be processed by the Director of Community Development, contingent upon the Planning Commission's review and approval of your design review application. 17. As required under the Special Permission Sign Application, please provide four color copies of the proposed freestanding sign. 18. The . L- shaped portion of the site located at South 160th (the proposed location of the freestanding sign) should be redesigned to eliminate the irregular shape created by the 90° angle in the property line. A rectangular shape will create a more viable parcel. This can be achieved by extending a straight line from South 160th northward to the outlanes at the project entrance. This line may run at a slight angle to achieve an average width of 50 to 60 feet from the western property line to the western right -of -way boundary along South 158th. Please make this adjustment and revise all affected plans. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: As a courtesy, we are providing you with additional information. Although this information is not required at this time, you may wish to obtain this information prior to applying for land altering and building permits. 19. The Public Works Department has identified a number of deficiencies in the plans that must be addressed prior to the issuance of the construction permits. Please contact Dave McPherson, Associate Engineer at 206 -433 -0179 to discuss these deficiencies. •z JU; .0 O', .Ci) 0 cow:.

As we indicated in our April 28, 2000 letter, required fire hydrants shall be approved for location by the Fire Department, approved for purity by Water District #125 and fully in service prior to the start of construction. By line of vehicular travel, a fire hydrant must be no further than 150 feet from a structure and no portion of a structure shall be over 300 feet from a fire hydrant. If water lines are to be extended to accommodate fire hydrants, please contact Water District #125 regarding associated fees. All water lines must meet Tukwila Public Works Department standards. If you have any questions concerning this item, please contact Mike Alderson, Assistant Fire Chief at 206 - 575 -4404 or Mike Cusick in the Public Works Department. 21. As we indicated in our September 9, 1999 and April 28, 2000 letters, the approval and recording of any lot consolidation(s) and /or boundary line adjustment(s) will be required after issuance of the Design Review and SEPA permits and prior to the issuance of the land altering permit. Upon receipt of the items referenced in Items 1 through 18 above, we will continue processing your applications. Due to the application deficiencies stated above, public notice requirements and the Planning Commission's current schedule, a public hearing on the matter will not be held until next year. As you know, our ability to arrange for a hearing date before the Planning Commission is dependent upon the timing of your resubmission, its contents and responsiveness to the technical review comments provided in this letter, as well as availability on the Commission's agenda. At the point that your plans and associated documentation have been approved for submission to the Planning Commission, you will be advised of the number of additional copies that will be required.

Mullet, Mayor Department of Community Development Steve Lancaster, Director MEMORANDUM TO: Steve Lancaster, DCD Director Deborah Ritter, Assistant Planner FROM: Gary Schulz, Urban Environmentalist DATE: October 30, 2000 RE: Quik Park #E99 -0005, #L99 -0010 — Sensitive Areas Technical Review. This memo is a re- review of wetland information combined with the recently submitted study by B- twelve Associates, Inc. (SRO/Republic Parking-Quick Park, Wetland Analysis Report 9/26/2000). In addition, a wetland buffer enhancement plan was provided by B- twelve Associates to request approval of buffer reduction adjacent to the watercourse corridor (Gilliam Creek). The buffer enhancement plan, date - stamped Received 10/09/00, was not thoroughly reviewed due to probable changes to the wetland boundary within the Gilliam Creek corridor. As a result of the recently submitted information, I performed a site visit on 10/20/00 and met with B- twelve Associates staff on 10 /23/00. Revisions to wetland site planning are being recommended because of past wetland determination changes and mapping inconsistencies. A summary of the wetland status and sequence of events is provided as follows. This memo will update many of my review comments provided in memos dated 7/10/00 and 4/24/00. Wetland Areas Three wetland reports (10/10/97, 7/17/98, & 9/20/99) were submitted with the related investigations conducted by Shapiro & Associates, Inc. Three distinct wetland areas were identified on the site. The First wetland located on the south side of the site is exempt from regulation due to its small size (< 1,000 square feet) and rating as Type 3. It is recommended that this wetland's boundary and size be included on the site plan and labeled as Type 3 - Exempt. • ! • • R. ter_Boulevard Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • Phone: 206 - 431 -3670 • Fax: 206 - 431 -3665 �s _—. ms.µ UHF.• a .4 - 4—w 2. • J U 00 ' w Wm' J H-, CO Fjj O' �Q = d:.

ILf O: LL.z` U 0' z Quik Park Memo October 30, 2000 Paget A Second small and isolated wetland was delineated on the north portion of the project site and rated a Type 2 because of a forested wetland class (Shapiro & Assoc. 9/20/99). Type 2 wetlands cannot be permanently altered unless the Tukwila Planning Commission approves an application through the Reasonable Use Exception process. Subsequently, this area was re- reviewed by B- twelve Associates (Wetland Analysis — 9/26/00). They concluded this area does not have wetland hydric soils and it is assumed the wetland hydrology criteria would not be present. The B- twelve Associates' analysis includes some soil data that was not confirmed during the field visit. The soil profiles and conditions observed indicate the area has some seasonal drainage and is a marginal situation. Hydric soil indicators are present at depths just below the wetland determination criteria for soil. Therefore, the area will not be considered wetland. It is recommended the analysis be revised to include more accurate soil data and a discussion to explain how the data relates to the 1987 Corps manual's wetland determination methodology. This information will be included in an overall wetland report for the project site. The Third wetland area is a non - isolated condition that is part of the watercourse corridor (Gilliam Creek) located on the western portion of the site. The wetland area, flagged by Shapiro & Associates, is located near the middle of the watercourse corridor. The boundary of the Creek and associated wetland were revised and two different flagging surveys of these areas are included in the current submittal. The watercourse rating for this portion of Gilliam Creek (# 22 -3) is a Type 3. Type 3 watercourses have a standard buffer setback of 15 feet. The associated wetland, connected with Gilliam Creek, also appears to have a Type 3 rating. Type 3 wetlands have a standard buffer setback of 25 feet. There is no indication of the type of watercourse or associated wetland on the project plan sheets; however, a wetland buffer of 25 feet is shown with some encroachment into the buffer. A buffer reduction request with a buffer enhancement plan was submitted for review. The wetland buffer area in question has dominant Himalayan blackberry and is an appropriate area to reduce the buffer provided no native vegetation is removed. The current site plan must be adjusted to allow at least 15 feet of wetland buffer setback adjacent to the proposed parking lot developments. The on -site meeting with B- twelve Associates confirmed the most recent wetland/watercourse survey has an error that could affect the buffer setback zone and the proposed buffer enhancement. The buffer enhancement plan also shows a parking design revision that is not the current plan submittal. Quik Park Memo October 30, 2000 Page 3 To resolve 'sensitive area issues and mapping problems, I recommend revisions /changes be addressed by one wetland evaluation report. The revised information will be submitted by one wetland consultant that will verify or re- delineate all of the wetland/watercourse areas. This complete evaluation will assist in preparing for design review and the approval of related permits. Also, please label the wetland and watercourse (Gilliam Creek) with the appropriate ratings.

We have completed our detailed review of that documentation. However, certain additional information is needed from you to ensure that the project meets the substantive requirements of the City and to complete our review process. We have the following comments: GENERAL COMMENTS: 1. To aid our review, please identify the locations of the revisions on each plan sheet. This can be accomplished by surrounding each revised area with a circle or similar visual cue. 2. There are number of inconsistencies between the information provided in the revised SEPA checklist and the revised plan set (both submitted to this office on May 30, 2000). They are as follows: SEPA Checklist Plans Size of Project Site 396,900 s.f. (9.11 acres) 410,500 s.f. (9.42 acres) Size of Office Building 360 s.f. and 976 s.f. 1,120 s.f.

Urban Environmentalists comments 3. Technical review comments from Gary Schulz, Urban Environmentalist will be provided to you under separate cover. If you should have any questions regarding his comments, please contact Gary at 206 -431 -3662. Planning Department comments 4. Sheet 13 provides a listing of the trees to be removed from sensitive areas (i.e., located outside of the right -of -way and on slopes 20% and higher). However, per our April 28th letter, a tree replacement table (meeting the criteria of TMC 18.54.130(3)(B)) is still required. Please add the replacement table to Sheet 13. SPECIAL PERMISSION WETLAND BUFFER REDUCTION: Planning Department comments 5. Based upon your evaluation of the wetland, you have requested that the required 25 -foot wetland buffer be reduced by 50% to 12.5 feet. Per TMC18.45.040(C)(4)(a), the wetland buffer may only be reduced to 15 feet. If you wish to pursue a reduction in the required wetland buffer, please revise all affected plans to reflect the proposed 15 -foot wide wetland buffer and relocate all fencing and hard surfaces outside the buffer. DESIGN REVIEW: Planning Department comments 6. 7. The Design Review Application, Exhibit A, contains numerous blanks that must be completed. Sheets 8, 9 and 15 are inconsistent with Sheets L1 and L2. We have the following comments: The area from south of the maintenance building to the area north of the propane tank is inconsistent in these five plan sheets (parking areas versus landscaped areas). Michael Aippersbach June 28, 2000 Page 3 • The parking spaces on the east side of the maintenance building appear on some plan sheets and not on others. in any case, they should be eliminated as they create a conflict with the parking spaces directly south of the maintenance building. • The required fencing around the propane tank must be shown (inside of, and in addition to, the bollards) on all plan sheets. • In some plans, the bus parking is shown in front of, and blocking, passenger spaces. In other plans, bus parking is shown as a separate, striped area. z �w r, • 0 0; W= • JF- u- w 8.

One barrier -free van - accessible handicapped parking space will be required for both the office building and the maintenance building. In each case, the space must be located on the shortest accessible route of travel to the main entrance of the building it serves. Where practical, the accessible route of travel shall not cross lanes of vehicular traffic. 13. Although your proposed accommodation plan for disabled customers is probably in the best interest of Quik Park, it will not be required. The parking lot is not related to, or in support of, any building. Therefore, under Table 11f of the Uniform Building Code, handicapped parking for customers is not required. It is the responsibility of the owner to provide or not provide for customers with disabilities as it relates to the parking lot. Public Works Department comments • None. Fire Department comments • None. Michael Aippersbach June 28, 2000 Page 4 SPECIAL PERMISSION -SIGN: Planning Department comments 14. As we discussed, your Special Permission Sign application will be processed by the Director of Community Development, contingent upon the Planning Commission's review and approval of your design review application. 15. As required under the Special Permission Sign Application, please provide four color copies of the proposed freestanding sign. 16. The L- shaped portion of the site located at South 160th (the proposed location of the freestanding sign) should be redesigned to eliminate the irregular shape created by the 90° angle in the property line. A rectangular shape will create a more viable parcel. This can be achieved by extending a straight line from South 160th northward to the outlanes at the project entrance. This line may run at a slight angle to achieve an average width of 50 to 60 feet from the western property line to the western right -of -way boundary along South 158th. Please make this adjustment and revise all affected plans. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: As a courtesy, we are providing you with additional information. Although this information is not required at this time, you may wish to obtain this information prior to applying for land altering and building permits. 17. The Public Works Department has identified a number of deficiencies in the plans that must be addressed prior to the issuance of the construction permits. The enclosed Public Works' memo dated June 7, 2000 addresses these deficiencies. We also enclose one set of plans and the April 2000 Perteet Technical Information Report showing Public Works' red -line comments. Please contact Mike Cusick, Associate Engineer at 206 -433 -0179 with any questions you may have. 18. As we indicated in our April 28, 2000 letter, required fire hydrants shall be approved for location by the Fire Department, approved for purity by Water District #125 and fully in service prior to the start of construction. By line of vehicular travel, a fire-hydrant must be no further than 150 feet from a structure and no portion of a structure shall be over 300 feet from a fire hydrant. If water lines are to be extended to accommodate fire hydrants, please contact Water District #125 regarding associated fees. All water lines must meet Tukwila Public Works Department standards. If you have any questions concerning this item, please contact Mike Alderson, Assistant Fire Chief at 206 - 575 -4404 or Mike Cusick in the Public Works Department. 19. As we indicated in our.September 9, 1999 and April 28, 2000 letters, the approval and recording of any lot consolidation(s) and /or boundary line adjustment(s) will be required after issuance of the Design Review and SEPA permits and prior to the issuance of the land altering permit.

Mullet, Mayor Steve Lancaster, Director RE: Quik Park #E99 -0005, #L99 -0010 — Sensitive Areas Technical Review. I have reviewed the current plan set, date stamped Received 3/14/00, including the related project information for the Quik Park development. The project is subject to sensitive area regulations and proposes a wetland alteration. My review is focused on identified wetland areas and comments are listed below: A. Wetland Areas Three wetland reports (10/10/97, 7/17/98, & 9/20/99) have been submitted with the related investigations that were conducted by Shapiro & Associates, Inc. Three distinct wetland areas have been identified. The small wetland located on the south portion of the site is exempt from regulation because it is less than 1,000 square feet in size and isolated (Shapiro & Assoc. 7/17/98). The small and isolated wetland located on the north portion of the project site is only 2,000 square feet but is rated a Type 2 because of a forested wetland class (Shapiro & Assoc. 9/20/99). Trees that are at least 20 feet in height and rooted in the wetland constitute a forested class (US Fish and Wildlife Service 1979). Because the wetland has more than 20 percent coverage of trees, it is rated Type 2 (TMC 18.45.020). Type 2 wetlands cannot be permanently altered unless an application for the Reasonable Use Exception is granted by the Tukwila Planning Commission. A Reasonable Use application is required. At a minimum, a conceptual mitigation plan must be presented as feasible to replace wetland area at a ratio of 1.5 to 1.0 and the associated wetland functions. 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • Phone: 206- 431 -3670 • Fax: 206 - 431 -3665 z 1 ti- n_ G wwc QQ.

'o =0 z UN O z i Quik Park Memo April 24, 2000 Page 2 The third wetland area is a non - isolated condition that is part of the watercourse corridor (Gilliam Creek) located on the western portion of the site. The wetland area associated with the watercourse was flagged by Shapiro & Associates; however, the actual flagging survey of these areas is not included in the submittal (Shapiro & Assoc. 10/10/97). The watercourse rating for this portion of Gilliam Creek (# 22 -3) is a Type 3. Type 3 watercourses have a standard buffer setback of 15 feet. However, Type 3 wetlands have a standard buffer setback of 25 feet. There is no indication of the type of watercourse or associated wetland on the plan sheets that I reviewed. It appears that the entire watercourse corridor has been delineated as wetland. Please provide the professional land survey of wetland and watercourse boundaries as flagged by Shapiro Associates. In addition, the site plan sheets that include the watercourse will have the watercourse /wetland edges and appropriate buffers labelled to show that the code standard is being provided. The Shapiro report indicates the associated wetland has trees as a forested class and that the entire perimeter of the drainage (creek) is Wetland A. This indicates the corridor to be rated at least a Type 3 wetland with a standard buffer of 25 feet. B. Tree Replacement Per the tree regulations (TMC 18.54), trees removed from sensitive areas, except black cottonwood, are subject to replacement standards. These standards are found in TMC 18.54.130 3. The ordinance does exempt tree removal within City- approved rights -of -way and easements. In reviewing Sheet 8 (Survey- Slopes - Trees) there is no indication of the trees that will be removed from slopes 20 percent and greater as a result of building the new roadway. Please identify the trees that will be removed from sensitive area slopes outside the approved right - of -way. Also, show the replacement table that determines the number of new trees to meet the requirement (TMC 18.54.130 3.). This information could be shown on Sheet 8. A detail of the tree planting can be provided after the numbers and proposed locations are approved. Please let me know if there are questions.

Briefly describe your proposal: Install a free- standing sign (1) abutting single family zoning and (2) facing (City of SeaTac) multifamily zoning at the intersection noted below. Paragraph D of Section IV - Commercial Zones, 19.32.120 of Tukwila's Sign Code (Where signs will face or abut single family zones) requires that freestanding signs under this subsection must be approved as a Type 2 (Special Permission) decision. The section states that "Permits may be approved if the effect of the proposed sign would not contribute to a cluttered or confusing condition nor would generally degrade the physical appearance of the street or neighborhood." Paragraph D of Section IV - Commercial Zones, 19.32.130 of Tukwila's Sign Code (Where signs will face or abut multiple - family zones or public facilities) requires that freestanding signs under this subsection must be approved as a Type 2 (Special Permission) decision. The section states that "Permits may be approved if the effect of the proposed sign would not contribute to a cluttered or confusing condition nor would generally degrade the physical appearance of the street or neighborhood." The proposed illuminated freestanding sign would not contribute to a cluttered or confusing condition nor would generally degrade the physical appearance of the street or neighborhood. The proposed sign: (1) functions as a directional sign at the entrance to the proposed use during day or evening; (2) is similar to other off - airport parking facility signs at their entrances and (3) is consistent with other similar types of signs on S. 160th Street in the vicinity such as The Fellowship Bible Church (unlighted), Dollar Rent a Car (including the neon signs on the canopy), the Lewis & Clark Bowl & Theater, Birchwood Apartments, and the Sutton Suites for Extended Stays. c/projects/republic /desgnrev.dsk:tukcpap4.doc Page 1 Prepared by Michael Aippersbach & Associates PO Box 95429 - Seattle WA 98145 -2429 - (206) 523- 3764/Fax: (206) 524 -0337 virteAlris �Z. �W. 2.. 6 • 00 U) I, • w o gal is - U.1: Z I- - o Z 1`, D N` w W: H V', Li" ~O _ Z" w P _; o z City of Tukwila Steven M.

Box 95429 Seattle, Washington 98145 VIA FAX 206 - 524 -0337 Re: Quik Park 3610 South 158th L99 -0064 (Special Permission — Sign) E99 -0005 (SEPA) L99 -0010 (Design Review) Dear Michael: This letter is in response to your December 8, 1999 memo regarding your proposed freestanding sign. As we discussed earlier, a freestanding sign must be located on the same property as the business it is advertising. Signs may not be located on easements. For this reason, we are proposing that you consider expanding the boundaries of the Quik Park project to include frontage on South 160th, your desired location for a freestanding sign. The following information is based on your assumption that the proposed sign will be approximately 8 feet high and 5 feet wide. Of this area, approximately 16 square feet (of each side of the sign) will be devoted to actual message area and the remainder will serve as the sign base. You have asked for clarification regarding the amount of street frontage required for such a freestanding sign as well as the associated setbacks. Calculation of Required Street Frontage on South 160th Per TMC 19.32.060, no freestanding sign may be located within 100 feet of a multiple - family or single - family zone. The following describes how this distance will be measured. Upon realignment of South 158th, a triangular shaped area will be created. This area is situated immediately north of South 160th and east of realigned South 158th. At realignment, It is my understanding that this old right -of -way. will be vacated and donated to the Fellowship Bible Church (the adjacent property owner). As a result, the boundary line of the Low Density Residential ( "LDR ") zone will move to the eastern edge of South 158th's new right -of -way boundary. This is per TMC 18.08.040, as follows: Where a public street or alley is officially vacated or abandoned, the regulations applicable to the abutting property to which the vacated portion reverts shall apply to such vacated or abandoned street or alley. The 100 foot sign setback distance referenced above, would be measured from the boundary line of the LDR, westward. As the South 158th right -of -way is 50 feet in width, the freestanding sign must be setback an additional 50 feet to the west. Additionally, given the sign height of 8 feet, the sign must be setback 8 feet from the south and west property lines of the project. 6300 Southcenter Boulevards Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • (206) 431-3670 • Fax (206) 431-3665 5 Michael Aippersbach Michael Aippersbach & Associates December 8, 1999 Page 2 The frontage distance along 160th must incorporate these distance requirements. Assuming that the sign will be 1 to 2 feet deep, the total frontage would have to be at least 60 feet in length. This represents the sum of 50 feet from your eastem property line at realigned South 158, plus 2 feet of actual sign width, plus 8 feet from your western property line. This minimum 60 foot width should be retained from the south property line northward to create a more viable parcel. Sion Size and Design Any business with less than 200 feet of linear frontage on a dedicated street may have a freestanding sign face up to 50 square feet in size (per sign face). You have estimated that the message area of the sign will be 16 square feet. However, if you choose to illuminate the sign base as well as the message area, the entire 40 square feet of area will be considered to be the sign face. Per TMC 19.32.120(D), all freestanding signs in commercial zones facing single - family zones must be approved as a Type 2, Special Permission application. You have indicated an interest in having the Planning Commission review this application at the same time they hold the Design Review hearing. Under TMC 19.32.120(D) these type of "permits may be approved if the effect of the proposed sign would not contribute to a cluttered or confusing condition nor would generally degrade the physical appearance or character of the street or neighborhood." The Commission will review the sign's design, color and brightness, its relationship to the project's building design and its impact on the adjacent residential areas. Public Notification If you wish to propose an adjustment in the project boundaries to include frontage on 160th, this adjustment would be formalized via a Boundary Line Adjustment ( "BLA ") application. As we have indicated to you earlier, the approval and recording of any BLA will be required after issuance of the Design Review and SEPA permits and prior to the issuance of the land altering permit. Revision of the project boundaries will affect the geographic area that receives public notification. For this reason, once the revised project boundaries have been determined, you will need to submit additional items. Please be advised that these items are formal amendments to my September 9, 1999 letter of incompleteness for the Design Review, SEPA and Special Permission Sign files. Please provide these items when you submit the other items required in that letter. 1. King County Assessors Maps showing the location of each property within 500 feet of the subject property. 2. Mailing labels listing the owners of record for all property within 500 feet of the boundaries of the site. 3. Mailing labels listing the residents and businesses of any property within 500 feet of the boundaries of the site if they are different from the landowners. 1 IZ ea- 5; 6 00 co 0 w =; J I-. • w0 §a=1 =a 1--w z I- 0 w~` w UC w w' =U LL O; .z- U N' 0 z.. n Michael Aippersbach Michael Aippersbach & Associates December 8, 1999 Page 3 • As you will be on vacation soon, please contact me at your earliest convenience so we may discuss these requirements.

Objective. To obtain approval for a freestanding sign on S. 160th Street. Sign Needs. We envision needing a sign sitting on a base (or two posts), the total height of which would be approximately 7 -8 feet and 4 to 5 -feet wide. This sign would be similar to the Master Park identification sign used at the entrance to their facility at the SE corner of S. 170th Street and International Boulevard. The sign would be placed 90 degrees to S. 160th Street so that it can be read by drivers traveling along S. 160th Street. The actual sign (message portion) would be approximately 16 s.f.(per side). The lower portion of the structure would be the base of the sign. If posts not used, the base could be solid with color only (illuminated or not illuminated). The sign would be illuminated internally with the copy shown on the (attached) file memo. Requested Clarification. Front setback - 8 feet (or what ever the height of sign)? Side setback - 8 feet (or what ever the height of sign)? How much frontage along S. 160th Street would we need to obtain approval for the type of sign shown in the attached memo? I will be out of town beginning on Friday, December 17 through Thursday, December 30. You can reach me at (206) 523 -3764, e-mail me at aipp@cwix.com, or by fax at (206) 524 -0337.

We are getting to the point in our proposed development where we would like to draw some fixed boundary lines. After a brief conversation with Deb Ritter, she suggested I contact you for some guidance. As you probably know the BLA is part of the proposed Quik Park development and is an important integral part of the project. Here are some brief facts: • Sterling Realty Organization (SRO) is the underlying property owner for both the theater /bowl and the proposed Quik Park project. • The proposed re- alignment of S. 158th Street will leave two smaller unusable parcels of land isolated from the main portion of the existing vacant land (on the south side of the new roadway). • The zoning on the two parcels is Regional - Commercial (R -C) with no minimum lot size. • The larger parcel (apx. 11,531 s.f.) which directly abuts the Sunnydale apartment and the church properties although of suitable size for development is unusable because of it's steep topography and difficult (perhaps even improbable) access to the new revised S. 158th Street. • The smaller parcel (5,531 s.f.) while topographically better related to S. 158th Street for access purposes, is nonetheless too small and badly configured for any future development and thus unusable. • The re- alignment of S. 158th Street will provide a transition between the commercial land use designation on the SRO property and that of the residential designation to the east (Sunnydale apartments) and south (Fellowship Bible Church). The Sunnydale apartment owners are in favor of that proposed separation and the church also supports our request. • To provide a free right turn at the intersection of Old Military road and S. 158th Street, the existing Old Military Road roadway will need to be moved to the west.

Pace, City of Tukwila/11 -10 -99 The shifting of the roadway is necessary to minimize the impacts to the existing driveway from the manse (garage) to Old Military Road. The accompanying map shows our preliminary layout for the BLA. In addition to the shift to the west of the existing ROW for Old Military Road, some frontage on S. 160th Street for the Quik Park development is essential. It is also our desire to combine the two triangular lots as a separate tax parcel. At least one of the criteria for the BLA appears to be in conflict with some of our intent. Do you have any suggestions or guidance? I have a second question regarding BLA approval criteria (which I did not discuss with Deb Ritter). The handout I received for a BLA (or Lot Consolidation) lists some specific criteria which the application must address. The criteria on the first page of the information handout appear to be similar in some respects to the criteria contained in Paragraph C, Section 17.08.030 Preliminary Approval of the City's Title 17, Subdivision and Plats (page 17 -4). Similar, but not the same. Are we expected in our application to respond to both sets of criteria? Jack, I look forward to talking with you regarding these questions. If you need me to come to the City and meet with you or other staff I would be happy to do so. Also I have other information (e.g., a site plan, an aerial photo, etc.) which could be of assistance. You can reach me at (206) 523 -3764 or by Fax at (206) 524 -0337. Thanks! Sincerely, Michael Aippersbach encl.

The landscape perimeter may be averaged if the total required square footage is achieved, unless the landscaping requirement has been increased due to proximity to LDR, MDR .or HDR. Landscape perimeter averaging may be allowed as a Type 2 special permission decision if all.of the following criteria are met: 1. Plant material can be clustered fo more effectively screen parking areas and blank building walls. 2. Perimeter averaging enables significant trees or existing built features to be retained. 3. Perimeter averaging is used to reduce the number of driveways and curb cuts and allow joint use of parking facilities between neighboring businesses. 4. Width of the perimeter landscaping is not reduced to the point that activities on the site become a nuisance to neighbors. 5. Averaging does not diminish the quality of the site landscape as a whole. 18.52.030 'Perimeter landscape types. A. Type I landscape perimeter. 1.

The time limitation for establishing completeness, (TMC 18.104.070) has been suspended awaiting submission of the following items. As we discussed, it seemed to make sense to complete revisions upon a final decision on the street vacation by the City Council.

(It appears that there are trees that meet our criteria of 4" or greater on the site including the areas outside of the proposed future right of way.) *Your current site plan shows no internal property lines, which presumes that a lot consolidation will be proposed as shown. We prefer that you show existing lines as well as proposed lines. The existing.should be dashed if they are to be removed or changed.

Associate Planner, City of Tukwila (206- 431 -3651) From: Michael Aippershach Re: Off - Airport Parking racility - Quik Park Project Design Review File # L99- 0010/SEPA Review File# E99 -0005 Date: 6-28 -99 /Monday Via Fax: (206) 431-3662 Re: Proposed Free-standing sign for Design Review - Quik Park Project Moira, after carefully reviewing the site conditions along S. 160th Street, we will be revising the height of our proposed free- standing sign - lowering it and placing it closer to S ; 160th Street and.Old Military Road. The current architectural drawing (Sheet 1/3, ,'dated: 2/16/99) shows the free- standing sign as 18 feet in height and 8 feet wide. Although the; specific setback distance is not shown on the drawing we know that the sign code requires a one for one setback (one foot of setback for each foot of height). With the current drawing, an 18 -tot setback from the property line would be required by Tukwila's sign code. The 'revised sign will be approximately 8 feet in height and will contain the word "entrance "; in addition to the text already shown on the drawing. The 8 -foot height will allow the sign to be placed closer to the roadway.. Unless you need us to do so, we would prefer to revise the sign portion of tht-drawing (Sheet 1/3) after receiving a response back from the City on the revised set of plans (2nd set) so as to include with any other necessary' changes to any of the drawings. Just as a point of information, I noted on my evening trip to the site that one . of the apartment complexes on the south side of S. 160th Street (in the City of SeaTac) has converted to an extended stay facility. It is now called Sutton Suites for Extended Stays and includes a large illuminated sign facing the north side of S. 160th Street, almost directly across from our proposed facility. If you or staff have any questions, you can reach me at (206) 523 -3764 or by fax at (206) 524 -0337. Thanks, Moira! cc.

Rants, Mayor Steve Lancaster, Director Subject: Quik Park — L99 -0010 Dear Michael, I have reviewed the Design Review and SEPA applications and find the following items incomplete. • The design review site plans do not show the wetland and watercourse and their types identified in the Shapiro investigation, (October 1997.) The required buffer for the wetland and the watercourse is also required on the site plan. The sloped areas that exceed 20% should also be indicated. • The landscape plan should show existing trees over 4" in diameter, whether they are to be saved or not. • The new property line in the vicinity of the canopy is not shown on any of the plans. • There are numerous walls shown on the plan. These will all be required to be on the property and not in the public right -of -way unless approved by the Public Works Department. Any walls over four feet will require a building permit. A typical elevation of these should be provided as part of the design review application. • A dumpster /recycling area should be shown. • Letters of availability from Water District 125 and ValVue sewer. Substantively, I have the following preliminary comments on the project. Signage " proposed .does not meet the Sign Code. A type II review of your signage is required because the signs face/abut a single family zone. Per the Zoning Code, Consolidation of Permit Applications, (TMC 18.104.030) you have the right to request that all permit applications be processed as a consolidated application. Because the proposal is going before the Board of Architectural Review, I suggest that you consolidate`: to minimize effort and provide a seamless review. The wall sign currently exceeds the sign code maximum area by 20.5 square feet. The proposed easement to the south of the subject site does not meet the definition of "Premises" (TMC 19.08.175.) The definition, premise, means one or more contiguous lots of record (exclusive of any right -of -way) owned or managed by the same individual or entity. The freestanding sign must also be setback the height of the sign. The minimum front yard landscaping needs to be shown on your property. You are not allowed to include landscapingin the right -of -way. The Fire Department has requested a second entry point. If you have any questions, contact Fire Marshal Chief Olivas at 575 -1404. The design of the structures does not meet our standards for quality of materials or architectural design. The Port of Seattle has recently completed their north employee parking lot and installed several small structures on their site. I recommend that you view their designs and provide a similar level of quality in your proposal. The Public Works Department still has your proposal under review. 6300 Southcenter Boulevard Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • (206) 431 -3670 • Fax; (206) 431 -3665 z ' W. re UO (n w, W =; W• 0 1 W =. —• a 1- al 2 Z Z Off.

Briefly describe your proposal: Install a free - standing sign facing (City of SeaTac) multifamily zoning at the intersection noted below. Paragraph D of Section IV - Commercial Zones, 19.32.130 of Tukwila's Sign Code (Where signs will face or abut multiple - family zones or public facilities) requires that freestanding signs under this subsection must be approved as a Type 2 (Special Permission) decision. The section states that "Permits may be approved if the effect of the proposed sign would not contribute to a cluttered or confusing condition nor would generally degrade the physical appearance of the street or neighborhood." The proposed illuminated freestanding sign would not contribute to a cluttered or confusing condition nor would generally degrade the physical appearance of the street or neighborhood. The proposed sign (1) functions as a directional sign at the entrance to the proposed use during day or evening; (2) is similar to other off - airport parking facility signs at their entrances and (3) is consistent with other similar types of signs on S. 160th Street such as Dollar Rent a Car (including the neon signs on the canopy), the Lewis & Clark Bowl & Theater, Birchwood Apartments, and the Sutton Suites for Extended Stays. c/republic.dsk :tukcpap2.doc Page 1 Prepared by Michael Aippersbach & Associates PO Box 95429 - Seattle WA 98145 -2429 - (206) 523- 3764/Fax: (206) 524 -0337 • CITY OF TUKWILA DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SPECIAL PERMISSION.
