Mark Travers Appeal of Code interpretation and setback variances, File No. L97 -0035 Dear Mr. Kaufman; This is to request reconsideration of your decisions on the above matters and to request an extension of time for Mr. Travers to make a proper request himself.. My wife and I are the owners of the subject property and signed an earnest money agreement with Mr. Travers on May 9, 1997 in which he agreed to buy the property contingent on being able to obtain a building permit. He has expended considerable time and money on this effort. He and his wife are in Europe and have not received your decision yet. He is expected back April 7th. I have no way of reaching him and have had no discussion with him since his original application last June. Since he has put so much effort into it I am willing to go along with him as long as necessary and would appreciate a 30 day extension until April 26, 1998 to allow him a chance to work out another solution. My son Patrick Stark, my agent on the sale, has given me a copy of your decision and I have been checking on the situation with the City. Since the City has sent me no notices of any kind since this application was started, I have had to start from scratch and review the files. I found a survey in the City's file done by Arnett Inc. in July 1997 showing larger dimensions than their report stated. This survey shows the property to be a right triangle, 61.62 feet on the northwest, 57.06 feet on the northeast and 84.07 along the arc on South 133rd Street, making a total size of about 1821 square feet not 1528. Your findings in paragraphs 4 and 5 for both the Variance and the Appeal seem to be based on erroneous measurements. The City's reports and therefore your findings, refer to a sensitive area and class 2 watercourse along the northeast line in S. 131st Street. This is actually just a ditch, which appears to have been dug by the County years ago. The Arnett survey shows the bottom of this ditch is level opposite our property line and a little lower near our southeast and northeast property corners. On Monday evening , March 23rd, after two days of heavy rain there was no flow of water in this ditch. Although this ditch was designated a type 3 (not a type 2) watercourse in the City commissioned Jones & Stokes Watercourse Study and Rating Data Sheets, it does not appear to be a watercourse at all by the 18.06.920 Watercourse definition of the 1997 City Zoning Code. It is evident from your findings there is confusion as to exactly where the parking is proposed. The plans were confusing as to the precise location of a stall, inside or outside parallel to the curb and because the traffic consultant showed a "U" turn in the street, someone seems to have assumed a "U" turn is necessary. Surely a left turn could be prohibited when leaving , as it frequently is on busy streets. A more detailed parking diagram showing 35 -foot curb cuts and parking stalls at the extreme southeast and southwest comers should allow ample room to maneuver entirely on the property. If this won't meet the city's requirements it will be necessary to have access from south 131st street. The neighbor to the west, Mr. Gayther, has a wide driveway. from .South I3Ist across the ditch. I don't have the expertise to address the 0 lot line problem. That will have to wait for Mr. Travers return. Please allow a 30 -day extension so Mr. Travers can work these problems out.

The official record is recorded on tape. The hearing opened on Tuesday, February 23, 1998, at 7:00 p.m. in conference room #3 at the Tukwila City Hall. Parties wishing to testify were affirmed by the Examiner. The following exhibits were entered into the record: JExhibit No. l: File containing the subject citation and letter of appeal, and report to Examiner Exhibit No. 2: Memorandum to Michael Jenkins from Gary Barnett dated February 18, 1998 This hearing is an appeal from provisions and interpretation by the Director of Public Works of TMC 18.56.040(5)(b) regarding maneuvering under the Parking and Loading Ordinance for the City of Tukwila. A further item is approval of three variances: to reduce a front yard setback from 25 feet to 10 feet; to reduce the front yard landscaping from 12.5 feet to 10 feet; and reduce a side yard setback from the required 5 feet to zero lot line. Michael Jenkins, City Planner, City of Tukwila, 6200 Southcenter Boulevard, Tukwila, Washington 98188, stated that the City received from applicant an appeal of the Director of Public Works code interpretation. The City does not support the request by the applicant and believes that the code interpretation was reasonable given the numerous safety concerns based upon the application materials presented. Staff believes the applicant is attempting to utilize public right -of -way to complete required turning and maneuvering movements that violate the code. The determination of the Director is based upon a number of factors including the applicant's own traffic analysis, the site plan, and numerous other factors including posted speed of the road, the angle, and the use of a public right of way to complete required on -site turning movements. If this appeal is denied, the applicant would have to redesign their access to the parcel to maintain all turning movements on the parcel in support of the code. The only other access to this parcel would require a crossing of a Type 2 water course. tl..',Ai.:......�+, •` *.: ssLi :::..c::sti�l;':.ri:iY¢+:::LU;ca ....J� ,;:.�y..4C;v ;nrr:.va +., .v„ #i.2�:iw�s iiru:• .)is�:.,::•x•.; rist+.trt.,;.n':,4:;xt;W41e4;.

The Public Works Department is interpreting maneuvering and parking to mean something that he interpreted in a different way and that this ordinance is pretty broad and vague. In looking at access off 133rd, the applicant did some title investigation. At the time that this parcel was legally established, there was some thought as to how the access would be preserved. Mr. Travers' interpretation of the code was that parallel parking on the site next to the building met the minimum required standards. A traffic study was then prepared which indicated sight distances and safety of access. A diagram in the study illustrates that the turning movements in any direction would be initiated on site and not completed in the right of way. A vehicle could enter the right of way heading westbound alongside the building with very little turning radius involved; it would be a shallow S- shaped maneuver to get onto the right of way. A U -turn, which is indicated as being a safe maneuver according to the traffic consultant, is also possible. The conclusion in the traffic study clearly says the project site can be safely accessed from S.133rd from the perspective of entering sight distance and from that of turning vehicle paths. There could either be a rolled curb or some sort of barrier so vehicles could not back out onto the roadway. A discussion ensued regarding the angle at which a driver would have to check for approaching traffic, both east and westbound. Mr. Travers stated that the code does not specifically call out a 90 degree attitude for the vehicles in this instance. Patrick Stark, 8826 2nd Avenue S, Seattle, Washington 98108, representing petitioners herein, expressed his confusion over the contradictions between the City and the traffic study. He also questioned whether making a U -turn in mid -block was an illegal act. He also suggested that a sign be posted stating no left turn. Gary Barnett, Senior Engineer, Public Works, City of Tukwila, 6200 Southcenter Boulevard, Tukwila, Washington 98188, responded that a U -turn is illegal mid -block under most motor vehicle codes. He stated that the access from this site is structured as being a U -turn, originating on private property and completing that turn in the traveled right of way. The difficulty here is the driver has to look fully over his shoulder, 180 degrees, to see traffic even to pull out and just move ahead without making a U -turn to go back eastbound. The other difficulty is not coming away from the curb and pulling out into traffic, but crossing a sidewalk and/or shoulder. The more normal direction is approximately 90 degrees to traffic where one is able to turn and look left and right, to see clearly in both directions, not only vehicles but pedestrians. Staff concurs that the site does have a legal access as granted through the deed, but conversely, it must be safe. In most cases it is presumed and expected that a vehicle is starting at a 90 degree position. If the car can be oriented about 90 degrees to the traffic, then the traffic studies show there is adequate sight distance. Regarding the variance portion of the hearing, Mr. Jenkins reported that the zero lot line would be on the northwesterly portion. The northeasterly portion of the building also shows 17 feet 6 inches measured between the external wall and the property line which may or may not include the ordinary high water mark for the Type 2 water course that runs along the property line. The parcel in question is 1,528 square feet and is triangular in shape. In terms of the size and shape in relation to the other parcels in the surrounding area and the zone, it is quite small. There is a limited access on the parcel. The Type 2 water course which is located along the east property line also impacts development proposal. In this Commercial/Light Industrial zone, there is no minimum lot size requirement. The property is affected by the City's sensitive area ordinance that limits the developable area of the parcel, leaving the applicant with Little or no developable area. The proposed use which Mark Travers Appeal of Setback Variance File No.: L97 -0035 March 12, 1998 Page 3 is an office /warehouse is a permitted use in this zone and does support Comprehensive Plan policies towards development of the Interurban corridor. The lot appears to be an artifact of a larger lot that was created through development and realignment of adjacent transportation routes which has limited development possibilities for the parcel; hence its previous undeveloped status. In conclusion, staff supports approval of the three variances requested by this applicant. The adjacent parcel has a few buildings on it and is currently under - developed. It is currently a non- conforming but legal use in the zone. The Examiner inquired if the adjacent neighbor would be constrained by this zero lot line clearance. Mr. Travers responded that it would not necessarily impact that parcel. This applicant is required to put in a • special fire wall and that the exterior siding planned is metal, which would require no or low maintenance. Jim Gayther, 4410 S. 133rd, Tukwila, Washington 98168, adjacent landowner, stated this his main concern is the removal of the vegetation which currently acts as a screen. He was also concerned about the impact of the zero lot line clearance to any future development on his parcel, and objected to the granting of the variance. Jack Pace, Planning Manager, City of Tukwila, 6200 Southcenter Boulevard, Tukwila, Washington 98188, responded that there are many variables to be considered, particularly regarding proposed uses for the building, the materials and construction techniques to be used on the neighboring site. Further discussion ensued regarding the location of a parking stall inside the building, as well as the tandem stalls indicated parallel to the street. Betty Gully, 13017 Macadam Road S, Tukwila, Washington 98168, a resident in the area, stated her concerns regarding the necessity of granting variances. She stated that City codes and City planning studied these spaces that need to be saved, and when one variance is granted a precedent is set and eventually everything is mitigated away. Brian Shelton, City Engineer, Public Works, City of Tukwila, 6200 Southcenter Boulevard, Tukwila, Washington 98188, stated that future street improvements and access to the property are considerations to be taken into account. Mr. Travers responded that it is the present circumstances under which this variance is requested. Progress occurs all the time and there are all sorts of existing circumstances that come up that no engineer would like to deal with in the present or in the future. The Examiner called for further testimony regarding this project. There was no one else wishing to speak, and no further comments from staff.

CONCLUSIONS & DECISION Having reviewed the record in this matter, the Examiner now makes and enters the following: FINDINGS: z ~ • w; g • J U. U O. 1. The appellant, Mark Travers for Ben and Darryl Stark, filed an appeal of an administrative LU determination that barred developing parking that required maneuvering on the public right -of -way. 2 u- w O; g Q. d:. • w, z� o 4. The south property line, the 133rd frontage, is approximately 78.42 feet long. The northeast angled w property line is approximately 52.78 feet in length.

The subject property is located at 4350 South 133rd Street in the City of Tukwila. 3. The parcel is a triangular shaped parcel. It has frontage along S. 133rd Street, an open public street. It also has a frontage along S. 131st Street. The parcel apparently does not have access to S. 131st Street due to a water course which is designated a sensitive area. 6. The record reveals that the parcel is a remainder parcel created when a street was aligned across a larger parcel segregating the subject site from the much larger parcel. It appears that the then owners did reserve "the right of reasonable access to Relocated South 133rd Street" when the right of way was conveyed. The development proposal is the subject of a separate public hearing to determine whether a series of variances from the setback requirements are appropriate. 8. It appears that the proposal requires two parking stalls for the proposed building. 9. The record reveals that the full nature of the proposed parking was not clearly understood from the plans that were submitted for the proposal. The floor plans reveal a parking stall located immediately parallel to the street frontage along S. 133rd Street and another area that appears to be interior to the building labeled "8' X 20' STALL." (A second floor plan shows this as "9' X 20' STALL. ") It would appear that this stall was interior or under the building and contained within the building footprint. 10. The City through Ross A. Earnst, P.E. determined that the parking stall located adjacent to S. 133rd did not comply with the provisions of Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC) Section 15.56.040(5)(b). 11. TMC 15.56.040(5)(b) states: Turning and maneuvering space shall be located entirely on private property unless specifically approve by the Public Works Director and the Board of Architectural Review. Mark Travers Appeal of Setback Variance File No.: L97 -0035 March 12, 1998 Page 5 (c) 015.56.040(5) All parking spaces shall be internally accessible to one another without reentering adjoining public streets. 12. During the course of the two hearings, it became clear that there was a misunderstanding of some aspects of the proposed plans, particularly the location of the two required parking stalls. Questions were raised regarding the access to the "interior" stall and its access since it did not appear to meet maneuvering requirements either. It was then noted that this was not the proposed required, second parking stall. Instead it was noted that the two required stalls were both aligned immediately adjacent to S. 133rd. 13. The two stalls located along S. 133rd Street can best be described as two parking spaces that might be found on a street which allowed parallel parking; that is, the two stalls are aligned with the curb line. One or both of them would require the normal parallel parking maneuvers which entail pulling forward or adjacent to already parked vehicles and backing and turning to maneuver the vehicle into the space adjacent to the curb line. In this case, the stalls themselves are not located on the public street. They are located on the private parcel but immediately interior to the normal "curb" line. So vehicles would stop on S. 133rd, a public street, and proceed to maneuver into the off - street parking stalls. 14. The City maintains that this type of maneuvering on the public street is prohibited by the noted Code provisions. In addition to the prohibition, the City also maintains that such parking would not give a driver leaving one of these spaces a clear view up and down (west and east) the street as would a parking stall that had its access from a more normal driveway set at 90 degrees to the street. 15. The applicant's traffic engineer disputes the sight clearance issue maintaining that it would be reasonable and safe. CONCLUSIONS: 1. The appellant has the burden of demonstrating that the decision was either in error, or was otherwise contrary to law or constitutional provisions, or was arbitrary and capricious (Section 4- 3011(B)(1)(b). The appellant has failed to demonstrate that the action of the City should be modified or reversed. The decision is affirmed. 2. Arbitrary and capricious action has been defined as willful and unreasoning action in disregard of the facts and circumstances. A decision, when exercised honestly and upon due consideration of the facts and circumstances, is not arbitrary or capricious (Northern Pacific Transport Co, v Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission, 69 Wn. 2d 472, 478 (1966). 3. An action is likewise clearly erroneous when, although there is evidence to support it, the reviewing body, on the entire evidence, is left with the definite and firm conviction that a mistake has been committed. (Ancheta v Daly, 77 Wn. 2d 255, 259 (1969). 4. The appellant has failed to demonstrate that the decision was founded upon anything but a fair review of the Code provision as it pertains to the proposed parking. The appellant has failed to demonstrate with cogent evidence that a mistake was made. 5. It does not appear that either side understood all of the issues involved in this application and how City law affected it. The plans are not clear as to the location of the second required stall. It appears from a reasonable reading of the plans that one stall was along the street and a second was interior to the site, either in or under a part of the building. ."A,M ......,,r,x,,wrr,, per+,meo4 ..41.raT'ze.O. ?1 .V. �; t9r4rft. Mark Travers Appeal of Setback Variance File No.: L97 -0035 March 12, 1998 Page 6 6. City law is clear. Unless approved by the Public Works Director, parking and the maneuvering necessary to access the parking must be completely off the public right -of -way. It must be contained on the principal lot. The two parking stalls located along the frontage adjacent or nearly adjacent to the property line do not satisfy the Code requirements. If one of the stalls is in use, maneuvering will occur on the street. It is not even clear that one stall can be accessed without some maneuvering occurring on the right -of -way. 7. It is not clear that the use of these stalls would be as safe as if they were configured as required with maneuvering on the parcel. Since the safety of the access is fairly debatable, it cannot be shown that a mistake was made. If one is to err on one side or the other, going with the City determination provides a margin of safety inherent in keeping maneuvering off of the arterial street. 8. Since the burden of demonstrating error is on the appellant, this office can reach no other conclusion but that staff made the correct determination. The decision below must be affirmed. DECISION: The appeal is denied. VARIANCE 1. The applicants, Ben and Darryl Stark, filed an application for three variances from setback and landscape requirements to construct a combination office and warehouse building. 2. The subject property is located at 4350 South 133rd Street in the City of Tukwila. 3. The parcel is a triangular shaped parcel. It has frontage along S. 133rd Street, an open public street. It also has a frontage along S. 131st Street. The parcel apparently does not have access to S. 131st Street due to a water course which is designated a sensitive area. 4. The south property line, the 133rd frontage, is approximately 78.42 feet long. The northeast angled property line is approximately 52.78 feet in length. The northwest angled property line is approximately 57.92 feet in length. 5. The parcel is approximately 1,528 square feet or 0.03 acres in area. 6. The record reveals that the parcel is a remainder parcel created when a street was aligned across a larger parcel segregating the subject site from the much larger parcel. It appears that the then owners did reserve "the right of reasonable access to Relocated South 133rd Street" when the right of way was conveyed. 7. Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC) 18.30.080 requires a 25 foot front yard setback. The applicant has requested that it be reduced to 10 feet. 8. TMC 18.30.080 also requires 12.5 feet of landscaping along the frontage. The applicant has asked that this be reduced to 10 feet.

If the variances are not approved, the applicant would be left with a very small developable footprint. v - 18. Staff was not sure what, if any, additional development requirements might be imposed on the adjacent z parcel if the zero setback were approved. Approval of a zero setback would place the applicant's building directly on the common property line. A zero setback could require cooperation from the adjacent property owner for maintenance and construction although it may be possible to work around these constraints. A Type 2 water course along the northeast property line requires a 35 foot buffer from the Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM) and a 15 foot setback requirement from the buffer's edge. A separate request to reduce the 35 foot buffer to 17.5 feet and reduce the 15 foot setback to zero (0.0) is subject to review by the Director of Community Development. That review has not been completed. Staff has assumed the buffer reductions will be approved. . 19. The adjacent property owner objected to the approval of the variance for the zero setback adjacent to his parcel. 20. The project requires two parking stalls. A separate administrative determination found that the proposed parking stalls did not meet the code. The stalls necessitated maneuvering on the public right- of -way which is prohibited. 21. A separate administrative appeal was heard in conjunction with this request for variance relief. That appeal was denied. The denial could mean that the project be redesigned to accommodate parking in some other location. CONCLUSIONS: 1. Variances may be granted when the property generally satisfies all the conditions described in part below: a. The approval will not constitute a special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other property in the vicinity; Mark Travers Appeal of Setback Variance File No.: L97 -0035 March 12, 1998 Page 8 z , b.

The approval will not adversely affect the implementation of the Comprehensive Plan; and CO u-' w0 e. The approval is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right. g' J The applicant's property appears ripe for the front yard setback and landscaping variances requested. N d The variance from a zero setback on the northwest is inappropriate. H w z z H;. 2. As noted above, variances have been issued for the placement of vaults in the front yard setbacks on Z O: nearby property. In addition, the unique character of the subject site indicates that similar variances w w would need similar justifications. A special privilege is not being granted. .2 m U� 3. The parcel begins as a fairly small parcel and is then further constrained by its triangular shape and the 'p Co C2` location of a protected water course. This reduces the developable portions of the subject site. The w w applicant does suffer undue hardship. i c2;' u_0 4. The approval of the front yard variances for both setback and landscaping will not materially harm tii Z: other property in the vicinity or the public welfare. Clearly, the reduction in setback and landscaping is U Sn- not welcome in normal circumstances but the unique character of the site supports those reductions. ~O 1- 5. On the other hand, approving a zero setback from other privately owned property is not appropriate. The construction of a warehouse on the property line will crowd the adjoining parcel and reduce the amount of light and air that can reach that adjacent parcel. It could create additional burdens on the adjacent property. It is unclear if additional requirements would be imposed due to having the applicant's building immediately abutting the neighboring parcel. It would reduce the combined minimum setback of 10 feet to 5 feet. 6. Development of the site would be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's commercial and industrial goals for this areas. 7. Due to the nature of the parcel it appears that some variance relief is necessary to allow this parcel to be developed in some compatible manner. 8. In conclusion, the site presents some unique constraints, and although variance relief seems justified for some aspects of the site but not others, this decision coupled with the determination on the appeal of the parking stall configuration probably does not conclude that development of the site is practical at this time. DECISION: The Variance for zero (0.0 feet) side yard setback is denied. ,.

The applicant is seeking a Variance from three development standards in the QQ D D. Commercial /Light Industrial (C /LI) zone. The applicant proposes to construct a v of two- story, 992 square foot building designed for a combination office and 3 'w w. warehouse /storage uses. The applicant seeks the following: co LL, w O, • Reduce Front Yard setback from 25 foot minimum to a 10 foot maximum 2 setback g • Reduce Side Yard setback from 5 foot minimum to zero lot line N d • Reduce Front yard landscape requirement from 12.5 feet to 10 feet _ z�:. I- o`. Z �- ILI al U 0; co or ww a_ P` — O: Cu z; U N. z Existing Development The existing parcel is vacant. Surrounding Land Uses All of the properties surrounding the subject parcel are zoned C /LI BACKGROUND The applicant attended a pre - application meeting with department representatives on May 29,1997. At the meeting, applicant was informed by the Planning Division of several issues concerning development of the site and the need for a variance from several standards. Applicant was informed of the following issues that are the basis of their application: • Site has a sensitive area (watercourse) • SEPA checklist would be required where work occurs in a watercourse • Minimum setback requirements, maximum building height, minimum parking and minimum landscaping requirements The city's Urban Environmentalist assessed the watercourse for this application and determined that the watercourse has a Type 2 rating on the embankment interior to the lot. This rating was determined by review and application of Tukwila's 1990 Watercourse Rating Data Sheets. Thus, there is a 35 foot buffer required from the Ordinary High Water mark (OHWM) with a 15 foot setback requirement from the buffer's edge. 3 iv • Staff Report to the L97 -0035 Hearing Examiner 4350 S. 133rd Place The applicant has applied for a 50% reduction in the buffer from 35 feet to 17.5 feet and the waiver of the setback requirement from 15 feet to zero feet. This buffer reduction and setback waiver is made by the Director of Community Development independent of this action. The buffer reduction/ setback waiver request was submitted by the applicant on October 15, 1997, and is currently under review by the Director. The plans included with this staff report assumes approval of the reduction /waiver. VARIANCE CRITERIA z 2 -' .J U UO U) W =. The proposed project must conform with criteria detailed in Tukwila 2 O Municipal Code (TMC) 18.72.020: ga co D (1) The variance shall not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitation = Ci upon uses of other properties in the vicinity and in the zone in which the property on behalf of the application was filed is located. Z '— Z0: 2 uj o; o N. 0 I- 111 W` FU'. co 0 z Attachment A is the site plan for the project and Attachment B is the application submitted by Mr. Travers. As indicated in Attachment C, the applicant's property is 1,528 square feet and is of a triangular shape. The neighboring parcels indicated on Attachment C are more uniform in shape and larger in size than the applicant's parcel. The property is located in the Commercial /Light Industrial (C /LI) zone and the proposed use is permitted in this zone. Two separate variances were granted for adjacent developments at 4385 S. 133rd in 1986 under Case 86 -V -36, to allow placement of utility vaults in a required front yard setback area. (2) The variance is necessary because of special circumstances relating to size, shape, topography, location or surrounding of the subject property in order 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. Attachment D is a copy of a warranty deed approved by the State of Washington Department of Highways dated March 13,1964 creating a limited access point on S. 133rd to this parcel. The parcel is generally flat, although there is a type 2 watercourse located along the east property line. The watercourse runs in a generally north -south direction and affects other properties in the area. Attachment E is a map created by staff that shows the developable area based on strict application of the city's zoning code. There are no development standards in the C /LI zone that pertain to minimum lot size. As previously indicated, surrounding properties are of a more uniform shape and size to accommodate development. The proposed use is similar to other uses in the area. 4 Staff Report to the L97 -0035 Hearing Examiner 4350 S. 133rd Place (3) The granting of such variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the properh, j or improvements in the vicinity and in the zone in which the subject is situated. The property is affected by the city's Sensitive Area Ordinance (TMC 18.45) that limits the developable area of the parcel, as referenced in Attachment E. This applicant is concurrently appealing a code interpretation requiring all turning movements to be maintained on the parcel, under TMC 18.56.040(5)(b). Attachment A includes a 10 foot by 45 foot drive sited parallel to the building and includes a parking space. The parking space is needed to give the project its required two parking spaces. If the code interpretation is upheld, staff will have concerns about safe access to the parcel if any required parking is located off -site. The site plan may have to be altered to ensure safe access pending the outcome of an appeal of a code interpretation by the Director of Public Works. (4) The authorization of such variance will not adversely affect the implementation of the Comprehensive Land Use Policy Plan. Comprehensive Plan Policy 8.3.1 provides direction towards the development of the Interurban Corridor where the subject property is located. This policy states that the city shall "Develop the north section as an area of regional commercial or light industrial uses... ". The proposed use, which includes office and storage, is a permitted use in the C /LI zone. Properties immediately adjacent to the subject parcel are currently underdeveloped in this zone. (5) The granting of such variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant possessed by the owners of other properties in the same zone or vicinity. The 1,528 sq. ft lot, created by the establishment of a right -of -way as represented in the Attachment C, is a remnant of a previous, larger lot. The lot is one of the smallest within the City of Tukwila. The lot appears to be an artifact of a larger lot, created through the development and re- alignment of adjacent transportation routes. The size of the lot, coupled with the shape and other manmade and natural features, severely limits development possibilities. The property has never been developed although surrounding properties are either developed for permitted uses or under underdeveloped and include non - conforming uses. 5 z • z. ry ea. 21 JU. 0 0: ,moo.

(1) The variance shall not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitation... A small sized lot does not in and of itself preclude development of a parcel. However, staff has determined that the developable area of the lot, through strict application of setback requirements and the impact of the watercourse, would leave a lot too small to reasonably and economically develop. Other variances to accommodate new development have been granted in relation to required setback areas. (2) The variance is necessary because of special circumstances relating to... Applicant's maintain that the shape and size of the parcel limits reasonable use of the property which has been exacerbated by the division of the parcel at some time to accommodate a right -of -way. The unusual size and shape of the parcel and regulations requiring adherence to sensitive areas limits development. The proposed project does respond to these limitations through the shape, size and siting of the building. (3) The granting of such variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare... The project responds to regulations under the City's sensitive area ordinance. No views will be obstructed by the development. The project will not adversely impact the access to other parcels. The project may need to change their access to the parcel, pending the outcome of an appeal of a code interpretation. (4) The authorization of such variance will not adversely affect the implementation... Applicants indicate that the proposed project complies with Comprehensive Plan policy 8.3.1, which supports a mix of commercial, residential and light industrial uses along the Interurban Ave Corridor. The project is consistent with this policy, as implemented in the Zoning Code in its permitted uses for the C /LI zone. Staff Report to the Hearing Examiner L97 -0035 4350 S. 133rd Place (5) The granting of such variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment... While there are other uses that may be accommodated without the number and scope of the variances sought by this applicant, the applicant has proposed a use for the lot that is permitted in its zone, responds to development limitations and may be a catalyst for redevelopment of surrounding underdeveloped lots. In addition, the parcel has been undeveloped since its creation over 70 years ago. RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends the following: 1. Approval of a variance from front yard setback from 25 feet to 10 feet (TMC 18.30.080). Approval of a variance from front yard landscape requirement from 12.5 feet to 10 feet (TMC 18.30.080) Approval of a variance from side yard setback from 5 feet to zero lot line (TMC 18.30.080). 1 U..

Staff Report to the Appeal of a Code Interpretation Hearing Examiner 4350 S. 133rd Place FINDINGS Vicinity /Site Information Description of Action The applicant is appealing a decision by the Public Works Director concerning the application of TMC 18.56.040(5)(b). This code section reads "Turning and maneuvering space shall be located entirely on private property unless specifically approved by the Public Works Director and the Board of Architectural Review ". Existing Development The existing parcel is vacant. Attachment A is a highlighted copy of a King County Assessor's Map that shows the subject property. Surrounding Land Uses All of the properties surrounding the subject parcel are zoned C /LI BACKGROUND On August 20,1997 the applicant submitted a Site Plan (Attachment B) for a proposed two -story office /warehouse building. The proposal included frontal access to the building from S. 133rd St. While the parcel also fronts another street, S. 131st Street, this frontage is located along a Type Two watercourse, as defined in the City's Sensitive Area Ordinance (TMC 18.45). The crossing of the watercourse would negatively impact a watercourse that contained salmonid fingerlings and would also interrupt an existing buffer through the crossing of the watercourse. In addition, part of the parcel frontage along S. 133rd includes a limited access easement by the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT). The August 20,1997 site plan was reviewed by the Public Works Department. As indicated in Attachment C, a letter was sent to the applicant on September 17, 1997 requiring that a traffic analysis be submitted to ensure that the proposed access was safe. These issues were reiterated in a September 29, 1997 letter to the applicant, included as Attachment D. ... x, &Am y-so, k 5rluvrArszfsty ail: ieW '41:Vsi + • w' • JU U O: ,mow J H' N LL• w 0; u. a: a.

The study supported applicant's proposed access from S. 133d, given the posted speed on this route, the site's distance from an adjacent freeway off -ramp and the sight distance afforded to east and west traffic. Accordingly, the applicant submitted a revised site plan on October 9,1997 (Attachment F). This plan was revised from the August 20 submittal to include a 10 foot by 45 foot maneuvering area and an additional parking space within the maneuvering area. Staff reviewed the October 9,1997 site plan and determined that the proposal did not meet the requirements under Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC) 18.56.040(5)(b). This code interpretation was made by Ross Earnst, Director of Public Works (Attachment G). Under TMC 18.104.010, an appeal of a code interpretation is made to the City's Hearing Examiner. APPEAL REQUEST Attachment H is a letter dated December 2,1997 requesting an appeal of the Director of Public Works code interpretation. In their request for an appeal, the applicant has submitted an analysis addressing "driveway entering site distance" and "site vehicle turning path" hand - labeled as Exhibit B to their request. While this December 1, 1997 analysis was not submitted to City staff as part of the original materials to be considered by the Public Works Department, the conclusions are still not supported by staff. This analysis also includes a previously undisclosed chart labeled "Passenger Vehicle Exiting Site ". The City cannot support the request and believes that the interpretation was reasonable given the safety concerns based on the application materials presented by the applicant and staff's review. As indicated on their plans and through their appeal materials, the applicant is still attempting to utilize public right -of -way to complete required turning and maneuvering movements that violate the intent of TMC 18.56.040(5)(b). The applicant has failed to provide staff, either as part of their application or any subsequent materials, adequate justification to support their conclusions that the decision by the Director of Public Works was not valid.

The determination by the Director of Public Works that the solutions proposed in the site plan do not comply with TMC 18.56.040(5)(b) are based on a combination of the factors including: 1. The applicant's traffic analysis 2. The site plan 3. The posted speed of the road 4. The angle of the road 5. The area of vision 6. The use of public right -of -way to complete required on -site turning movements RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that applicant's appeal of the application of TMC 18.56.040(5)(b) be denied. 5 ,s!ezxra{wzS+nrH,ta,r. is+uun •M'avN)1.'�C:tr:P- a�'XT+:":f Mark Travers Architect, ACA Tel 206-763-8496 Fax 206- 767 -0302 6253 13th Avenue Seattle WA 98108. . U A. This variance is being requested to allow the owner an opportunity to make reasonable use of the property within the spirit of the current zoning designation. Specifically: 18.30.080 Basic Development Standards C /LI. Reduce setbacks as follows: Front ( S. 133rd, 25 feet required to a proposed 10 feet) and second front yard ( S. 131st PL., 35 feet required buffer to 17.5 feet). The West side yard setback is requested to be reduced from 5 feet to Zero feet. The 12.5 foot landscape buffer is requested to be reduced to 10 feet along S.133rd. The required parking for the proposed building is 1.24 spaces for office space and .496 for the warehouse (storage area) for a total of 1.73 required. Two spaces are provided. Allow the development to reduce it's setback at the type 2 watercourse, with mitigation to be determined at the time of building permit application. B. Variance Criteria: 1. The intended use does not constitute a special privilege based on use or existing zone. Adjacent properties enjoy, on average larger parcels of land which can more effectively absorb the setback requirements dictated for the zone. The proposed parking is reasonable for the intended use. Two people will be using the office. The shop space is intended for material and tool storage and parking. 2. The request for a reasonable use of this small parcel does not constitute a special privilege. Adjacent parcels enjoy the same zoning, however this particular parcel is unique because of it's triangular shape with the hypotenuse and adjacent side subject to the 25 foot front yard setback, which combined with the side yard setback of 5 feet conspires to leave the owner with about 125 sq.ft. of buildable area. Historically the subject parcel was part of lot 3 which is now separated by a Right of Way. 3. The granting of the proposed variance would not be detrimental to the health safety and welfare of the public. The only private landowner is to the West. The required setback to the West is 5 feet and the proposed setback to the West is 5 feet. There are no views to speak of in this area. The access proposed is from the North along a minor dead end right of way, which will minimize any traffic impacts. 4. The proposed project complies with the comprehensive plan and in some instances strongly supports it. Clearly, the proposed commercial use will support section 8.3.1 which states that the Northern portion of the Interurban Ave. corridor should be developed with a mix of commercial residential and light industrial uses.

As it stands currently there is not much demand for a 125 sq.ft. building footprint that is allowed to extend vertically for 45 feet. Adjacent property owners are using their parcels for various commercial purposes. Many of the buildings are non - conforming. There are no altematives regarding the use of this property, except perhaps to make a gift of it to the City of Tukwila. A reasonable approach to development will allow the adjacent property owners, and the local jurisdiction to benefit from the granting of this application. The proposed development would clean up the vacant parcel, the new business would contribute to the local tax base and the public would receive the benefit of both. 5712570 WARRANTY DEED • AttESS Q In the Matter of Prisry State Highway No. 1, roister Interchange to South t` u 118th Street. t- KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, That the Grantors William Wilkins and Ruth Wilkins, husband and wife N LND for and in consideration of the turn of and other valnabl�eon0eideration Dollars, hereby convey and warrant to the State of Washington, the following described real estate situ- ated in King County, in the State of Washington: That portion of the following Parcel "A" lying southerly of n line drawn parallel with and 30 feet northerly of the Center Line of Relocated South 133rd °treat.

The driver's eye location was set 10' behind the painted edgeline at the centerline of the proposed driveway. The sight line for eastbound and westbound traffic on S 133rd was then measured from the center of the driveway with the following results: Eastbound: 716' (beyond Macadam bridge) Westbound: 548' (west of freeway bridge) The posed speed limit is 30 MPH. At the project site the roadway is two lanes wide. A design speed of 35 MPH is appropriate for this roadway. Using AASHTO Figure IX -27, case B -2b and case Cb, which are on the same curve (see attached), we find the following intersection sight distances: 30 MPH 35 MPH 40 MPH 45 MPH 410' 530' 660' 840' Thus we can conclude that the eastbound sight distance exceeds 40 MPH and the westbound sight distance exceeds 35 MPH.

John W. Rants, Mayor ,a)(7t l"Ross A. Earnst, P. E., Director MEMORANDUM TO: Michael Jenkins, Associate Planner FROM: Gary Barnett, P.E., Senior Engineer - Development / DATE: February 18, 1998 SUBJECT: Mark Travers' Appeal of Access Restrictions at 4350 South 133rd Street (File No. L97 -0035) The Public Works Department has reviewed the appeal letter from Mr. Travers and the attached sight distance study prepared by Transportation Consultants Northwest. The Public Works Department recommends that access to this parcel be modified to comply with City Code provisions. The appellant's information does not provide compelling evidence that safe access is available to the site. The Public Works Department has previously evaluated the site access for this parcel. Based upon a variety of safety and right -of -way use requirements, the Public Works Department denied the applicant's request for variance. We continue to recommend that the proposed access be revised to meet City Code criteria for the following reasons: 1. Vehicular safety is compromised as discussed below. 2. Pedestrian safety is compromised due to poor sight lines from the U- turning vehicle. Pedestrians expect cars entering the roadway to yield to pedestrians. The State Motor Vehicle Department requires vehicles to yield to pedestrians on a shoulder or sidewalk. The sight lines are awkward and will place pedestrians at risk. 3. The application relies on full use of the right -of -way from edge to edge to make a U -turn. While the maneuver is physically possible at this time, when the roadway is upgraded to minor arterial standards with curb, gutter and sidewalk, planter strip, street trees, etc. (in either a three or four - lane configuration), the U -turn movement will become much more awkward. A very wide driveway (wider than normal standards) would be needed to physically make the U -turn. Such a wide driveway and necessary elimination of plantings and street trees to keep the U -turn path viable after street improvements are problematic. The appellant raises two new issues that have not been addressed in previous review of this application. 1. The language of the deed allowing access from engineered station point 20 + 75 West is applicable. The City is not prohibiting access from this parcel, merely requiring that access comply with City Code and sound traffic engineering principles. The City will grant a reasonable and safe access to the parcel. The proposed access is not demonstrated to be safe. 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • Phone: (206) 433 -0179 • Fax (206) 431 -3665 :kFIYyT�r.H.4�1�+�� +n Michael Jenkins Page 2 February 18, 1998 2. The appellant's traffic engineer, Transportation Consultants Northwest, has submitted a turning movement diagram entitled "Passenger Vehicle Exiting Site" dated 11- 28 -97. This diagram shows that a vehicle exiting the site can make a U -turn across two lanes of traffic and proceed in an easterly direction. Further, the report indicates that there is adequate sight distance to the west for a 40 mile -an -hour approach speed and to the east for a 35 mile -an -hour approach speed. The report concludes to say, "the project site can be safety accessed from South 133rd from the perspective of entering sight distance and from that of turning vehicle path." (emphasis added) The appellant's traffic engineer does not say, "the access is safe." Consider the site line that will be needed for the exiting vehicle to determine whether or not it is safe to make a complete U -turn across two lanes of traffic to proceed easterly. The driver must either turn their head 180 degrees and look back over their shoulder and then see around the curve in the roadway to determine that it is clear of eastbound vehicles. Alternatively, if the driver is not able to turn their neck and field the vision 180 degrees, they will need to use the outside rear view mirror to determine if no vehicles are approaching from the east. The difficulty of physically seeing clearly to the east, coupled from the need to check traffic critically from both directions (east and west) necessitates an atypical and most unlikely action on the part of a driver. In conclusion, the Public Works Department does not believe that the appellant's traffic analysis shows that the access is safe. We recommend that the appeal be denied and that the appellant be given the opportunity to redesign the site so that a vehicle may exit the site with the car oriented perpendicular to the lane of travel, so that a 90 degree turn or field of vision left and right (east and west) can be used to safety check for traffic. Then, and only then, will the Public Works Department concur that the sight distance analysis provides acceptable evidence of a safe access point for this parcel.

For the record Mark Travers, Architect, a sole proprietor will be the appealing party and contact person; the office address and phone number are included in the form of the letterhead. Decision: The Public Works Department has taken the position that a parallel parking space does not meet the requirements of (TCM) 18.56.040 (5)(b) 'turning and maneuvering space shall be located entirely on private property unless specifically approved by the Public Works Director and the Board of Architectural Review.' The decision also mentions' loading' which is not part of the code citation in question. Appeal: The cited ordinance does not specifically preclude the proposed parking location and configuration. The ordinance is vague and inconclusive with regard to the proposal. (see exhibit 'A' ) The loading requirement will not be addressed due to it's erroneous inclusion. In an effort to cooperate with the Public Works Department a traffic study was commissioned to evaluate the safety issue of the proposal. The study is enclosed for your review (exhibit B). Transportation Consulting Northwest prepared an analysis addressing Driveway Entering Site Distance and Site Vehicle Tuming Path. The salient points within this study include driveway entering sight distance values that are well within the recommended safety limits.

In a meeting at the City of Tukwila on November 3rd, Brian Shelton expressed a concern for safety, which is certainly valid. Clearly, the content of the traffic report adequately addresses this issue. In conclusion, relief is being sought to allow this piece of property to be modestly developed. Access is not allowed on S.131 st due to the stream designation. Historically the access problem was anticipated during the right of way alignment for S. 133rd. Evidence of this is contained in title information (exhibit' C' ) which grants access from Engineer's Station Point 20 +75 West, obviously this can be considered a legal precedent. If access and parallel parking are not granted by the City of Tukwila then the proposed project will certainly not proceed. This will cause the owners financial hardship in costs to date and the Toss of potential income from the rental or sale of the proposed development. will look forward to your response.

Per our last discussion, I am summarizing our findings regarding both entering sight distance and vehicle turning movements at the driveway. Driveway Entering Sight Distance On October 6, 1997, TCN performed a field inspection of the project site to determine the entering sight distance at the proposed driveway. The driver's eye location was set 10' behind the existing painted edge line at the center of the driveway. The available sight lines to the east and west were then measured with the following results: Table 1 Direction of View Available Sight Distance (Ft.) Vicinity To the West 716 West of Macadam bridge To the East 548 East of freeway bridge At the project site the roadway is two lanes wide. East of the site the roadway widens to three lanes wide to provide an eastbound left turn lane at the adjacent freeway off ramp terminal intersection. The posted speed limit for S. 133`d is 30 MPH. A design speed of 35 MPH is appropriate for this roadway. Using AASHTO Figure IX -27, case B -2B and case Cb (see attached copy), we find the intersection sight distances listed in Table 2: z a s 1- w. 00 CO CV CO w' uJ=' r J E, w0 • u.� Y2 d. m z 1._ . z o' M 0: 'O -. 0E-! 111 u H Ur O: Z 0 z Triangle Building Project December 1, 1997 Table 2 Design Speed (MPH) Required Sight Distance (Ft.) 30 410 35 530 40 660 45 840 By comparing the data in Table 2 with that in Table 1 we can conclude that the sight distance to the west exceeds 40 MPH and to the east exceeds 35 MPH. Site Vehicle Turning Path Due to the constrained nature of the site, vehicle parking on the site is limited to being parallel to the curb and between the building and the ROW. The attached figure shows the site and the adjacent street at a 1" = 20' scale. The vehicle depicted represents a passenger vehicle or light truck. Vehicles entering the site would pull forward to the far end of the building. They could either park at that location or back up to the opposite end of the building depending on their needs. A vehicle legally parked on the site could exit the site to enter S. 133` directly as in a merging maneuver to continue in the same direction the vehicle entered the site. This would be an easy maneuver. For this vehicle to exit the site and travel westbound would be an easy maneuver. However the same vehicle would have to execute the equivalent of a full U -turn to head eastbound on S. 133`d However note this turn would begin on private property and at the point the vehicle crosses the edge line, the vehicle is oriented at right angles to the roadway, in essence making a normal left turn. The full turn can be made easily within the paved street width as shown on the figure. It should be noted that vehicles parked facing east that exit the site to the west will necessarily cross the centerline for a short distance to negotiate this turn. Such vehicles would have to wait for a gap in traffic to complete their turn. However, since the freeway and commercial areas of Tukwila are located east of the site, most traffic entering and exiting the site will be from/to the east. Conclusions The project site can be safely accessed from S. 133` from the perspective of entering sight distance and from that of turning vehicle paths. TRANSPORTATION CONSULTING NORTHWEST Page 2 Triangle Building Project December 1, 1997 Finally, if a less constrained turning movement and parking combination were desired, the City could approve alternate access to the site from the old 131s` ROW that would eliminate the need for a driveway onto S 133`x.

Seattle, WA 98115 Re: 4350 S. 133rd St. - access to /from parcel File: L97 -0035 Dear Mr. Travers: To confirm our discussions at our November 3 meeting regarding the access to and from the parcel, the Public Works Department cannot approve the proposed parcel access. This access, as indicated in plans submitted on October 9, shows that the off - street parking is located on the site but lies parallel between the proposed building and S. 133rd St. This proposal does not meet the requirements indicated in off -street parking and loading requirements, Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC) 18.56.040 (5)(b), requiring all turning movements be maintained on the parcel. To resolve this issue you must either revise the plans to keep all turning and maneuvering movements on the parcel or request a waiver from this standard. A waiver from this standard will require filing an appeal from the decision requiring you to comply with TMC 18.56.040(5)(b). To proceed, you must file an appeal within 14 days of the date of this letter with the City Clerk. • An appeal of this decision will be heard by the City Council at a date to be confirmed later. The contents of the appeal must adhere to requirements in TMC 18.116.030, a copy of which is attached. Sincerely, . Ross A.

It is my understanding that Public Works may need some of the information you submitted clarified. I would be happy to arrange a meeting with JoAnna Spencer to discuss their concerns about these materials. It is our understanding, based on the materials you submitted on October 9, that you are requesting the following: • A variance from front yard setback requirement (25 feet to 10 feet) • A variance from side yard setback requirement (5 feet to zero lot line) A variance from front yard landscape requirements from 12.5 feet to 10 feet) In regard to the 50% reduction in the required 35 foot buffer and 15 foot setback . requirements from a Type 2 watercourse, we received your October 15, 1997 - letter requesting this waiver.

The site has very little topography, and is well below 20% maximum slope. Photographs of the site are enclosed for your review. As per your request and the requirements of 18.45.040(4)a(2) I have included a copy of the landscape /enhancement plan and architectural site plan for your review, a larger scale version of the drawing is on file with variance application # L97 -0035 in your office. The buffer as proposed will not result in direct or indirect, short-term or long term adverse impacts to the watercourse. The proposed buffer will provide shade and input of organic debris that will provide uptake nutrients. The plant materials selected will help stabilize the bank adjacent to the North property line and absorb water during high water events. The proposed buffer as designed will also reduce erosion and increased surface runoff which could reduce potential damage to the adjacent right of way (131st). The accumulation of sediment will increase on site which will reduce downstream impacts. The proposed buffer will help protect the adjacent watercourse from human and domestic animal disturbance. Lastly the building design reflects a program that concentrates activity away from the buffer, thereby protecting it more than if the building were not built.

Unfortunately, I am unable to act on your request because it does not contain enough of the information outlined in Tukwila's Sensitive Areas Ordinance (TMC 18.45) to evaluate your request. TMC 18.45.040(4)(a) indicates "Any buffer reduction proposal must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Director that it will not result in direct or indirect, short-term or Tong -term adverse impacts to wetlands and watercourses... ". In regard to the waiving of the setback, TMC 18.45.040 also allows for a reduction "...when a site plan demonstrates that there will be no impacts to the buffer zone ". Your request provided neither the materials requested in these code sections nor other pertinent information to evaluate your request. I have included a copy of TMC 18.45 for your review. Once 1 have received information outlined in TMC 18.45 concerning waiving of both buffer and setback requirements from a Type .2 watercourse, as indicated in the code, 1 and my staff will be happy to review your request.

The driver's eye location was set 10' behind the painted edgeline at the centerline of the proposed driveway. The sight line for eastbound and westbound traffic on S 133rd was then rneasured from the center of the driveway with the following results: Eastbound: 716' (beyond Macadam bridge) Westbound: 548' (west of freeway bridge) The posed speed limit is 30 MPH. At the project site the roadway is two lanes wide. A design speed of 35 MPH is appropriate for this roadway. Using AASHTO Figure IX -27, case B -Zb and case Cb, which are cn the same curve (see attached), we find the following intersection sight distances: 30 MPH 35 MPH 40 MPH 45 MPH 410' 530' 660' 840' Thus we can conclude that the eastbound sight distance exceeds 40 MPH and the westbound sight distance exceeds 35 MPH.

DATE: September 25, 1 • • 7 • RE: Relief from Zoning Code standard concerning parking MEMORANDUM We have an application for a commercial building in the C /LI zone where the applicant's plan and the size of his lot limits his ability to maintain all of automobile turning movements on his parcel. TMC 18.56.040(5) states: Turning and maneuvering space shall be located entirely on private property unless specifically approved by the Public Works Director and the Board of Architectural Review. The applicant requested a decision from the Director of Public Works, who indicated that he would not allow any deviation from this standard. In his underlying application, the applicant needs a variance from front yard setback and minimum parking requirements for his commercial building, as well as approval from the Director of Community Development of a reduced buffer /setback area from a Type 2 watercourse. The actual building does not have to go through Design Review, so the application is only scheduled before the Hearing Examiner on the variance issue. I need your input about the following: • Does the Board of Architectural Review (BAR) need to decide on the turning movement issue, despite no underlying Design Review requirement. If not, who would hear an appeal /waiver from this code section. • If the BAR needs to hear the waiver request, would the variance also be heard with by the BAR I need to contact the applicant.to tell him that the Public Works Director denied his request and that he needs to request a waiver. I would appreciate a meeting with you on this issue by October 2. If you have any questions, please contact me at 431 -3685.

Rants, Mayor Steve Lancaster, Director Dear Mark: On review of your August 20, 1997 submittal, there have been concerns raised by Public Works Department staff regarding the safety of accessing the parcel on S. 133rd St. To ensure that these concerns are adequately addressed prior to the hearing, we are requesting that you prepare and submit a traffic analysis of the required sight distance in accordance with AASHTO standards for the proposed access. This analysis is requested to resolve the issue of access prior to the hearing, as the outcome may affect other aspects of your proposal. In regard to the actual plans you submitted on August 20, we would also request that minor revisions be made, including clearer delineation of the watercourse and an indication that all turning movements are confined to the parcel, in support of Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC) 18.56.040 (5)(b). If the Traffic Analysis is submitted by October 6, 1997, we should be able to proceed before the Hearing Examiner on November 6, 1997. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me at 431 -3685 or Joanna Spencer, the city's Development Engineer at 433 -0179. Joanna will be reviewing the Traffic Study on behalf of Public Works.

Rants, Mayor Department of Community Development Steve Lancaster, Director MEMORANDUM TO: Jack Pace FROM: Michael Jenkins DATE: September 8, 1997 RE: Triangle Building Variance, 4350 S. 133rd We are tentatively scheduled for a hearing on this application for October 2, 1997. Prior to finalizing the staff report and discussing recommendations with the applicant, there are 2 outstanding issues that must be resolved. ACCESS As you know, Steve Lancaster and Ross Earnst visited the site to determine the appropriate access point. The applicant's plan assumes access from S. 133rd, as a WSDOT limited access easement runs only on the easterly portion fronting S. 133rd. The other potential access point, on S. 131st, would require approval by Steve to cross a Type 2 watercourse. In a memo from Joanna Spencer, it was indicated that the City Engineer would only support access on S. 131st due to safety concerns. In discussions with Brian after Steve and Ross's meeting, he is still unwilling to support access on S. 133rd due to limited visibility for cars leaving the parcel. Either solution assumes that all turning movements are made on the property, in support of TMC 18.56.040 (5)(b). BUFFER ENHANCEMENT The applicant has requested that the buffer be reduced from 35 feet to 17.5 feet and that the 10 foot buffer setback be waived. ,While this reduced buffer will not be part of the decision at the time of the hearing, buffer enhancement is important to this project. Its importance turns on where access to the parcel is allowed. If access on S. 131st is the only option, it requires the buffer to be broken and the watercourse crossed. The applicant has submitted a landscaping plan that shows treatment of the buffer, however this has been determined to be substandard by Gary S. and will need to me modified. Needless to say, the outcome of the access issue will be of great import to the enhancement of this buffer. Given the complexity of these two issues, its effect on staffs recommendation, and the impending hearing date, I would like resolution on the access issue by Friday, September 13. I will be on vacation that day, but on my return on Monday it would be helpful if I can come back to a resolution to start framing the staff report. A copy of the site plan is attached. c: \msoffice...memo \9735accs.doc 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • (206) 431-3670 • Fax (206) 4313665 A`art,'i%pV"00kilViuk,H;,4ukiµ:*rbf ..si tiry iifi'041..

There are virtually no native plant species being used for the proposed watercourse buffer reduction from 35 feet to 17.5 feet. Per the Sensitive Areas Ordinance (TMC 18.45.040), the intent to enhance a buffer area is to restore or add habitat, protection, and function. All vegetation used for the enhancement must be native to western Washington. In addition, existing native and quality vegetation should not be removed within the buffer. Please forward this information and my August 12, 1997 Memo to the applicant.

Rants, Mayor Department of Community Development Steve Lancaster, Director MEMORANDUM TO: Michael Jenkins, Assistant Planner FROM: Gary Schulz, Urban Environmentalist DATE: August 12, 1997 RE: Proposed Triangle Variance project #L97 -0035. I have reviewed the watercourse aspect of this proposal and have the following comments and recommendations. Comments: The original rating for this segment of Watercourse #15 -1 was a Type 3. I have re- evaluated the rating based on reported fish use, and specifically the presence of salmonids. When using the rating system the presence of fish such as trout or salmon species add points to the overall total and changes the rating to a Type 2 watercourse. Type 2 watercourses have a standard buffer setback of 35 feet measured from the Ordinary High Water Mark in the channel. The Sensitive Areas Ordinance allows up to a 50% buffer reduction with approved enhancements. As we have discussed, the standard minimum buffer would be 17.5 feet. My observations include a dense blackberry and vine maple shrub cover along the drainage on the site. There is no vegetated buffer on the east side because of 131st Place. The drainage channel is currently well- vegetated and provides significant cover for juvenile fish. The buffer could be enhanced with native plantings for improvement. I was not able to determine the exact edge of the 131st Place right -of -way but a portion of the buffer is probably within the right-of- way. Recommendations: A reduced watercourse buffer with an approved enhancement plan is appropriate for this proposal. The DCD Director has determined that the maximum buffer reduction to 17.5 feet can be supported. Waiving the building setback can also be administratively approved. However, further buffer reduction requiring a Reasonable Use Exception is not appropriate and will not be supported for the proposed site plan. 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • (206) 431-3670 • Fax (206) 431-3665 _..; ~w, ug 0 O 0; ► moo; co Li_ IAW w o` moo. z a' �.. w. z z� uj o, ,w W; �t - o; z:.

At the time of the pre - application conference, the applicant (Mark Travers) was informed that there could be no access to the property in question along S. 133rd st, due to a limited access easement from WSDOT, in relation to SR 599. According to the applicant, the attached title report indicates that the limited access runs only over a portion of the parcel, which would allow him to have a driveway onto the parcel. I would like you to look at this and let me know if these documents indicate only a partial limited access. If this is the case, can they still proceed with access on S. 133rd or are they still required to have access on S. 131st. As you may remember, this issue is further complicated by a watercourse that runs along .the northern property line, parallel to S. 131st. It appears that this is a Type 2 watercourse, which we would prefer not be crossed for a driveway access. If I could get an answer back from you by Monday, August 18, it would be appreciated.

The reason that the hearing • has been postponed is to allow you time to meet with your client to discuss your project, upon staffs recommendation that the project be denied. Staffs recommendation is based on the amount of the variance requested from the Front and Second Front setbacks and because the project does not adequately address the setback issue from the watercourse along S 131st PI. On the issue of the watercourse along S. 131st, a question has also been raised about its rating under the city's watercourse rating system which may change the project. Since we will be meeting on August 1, we can discuss all of the issues, including the Watercourse issue, in detail. If you have any questions prior to the meeting, feel free to contact me at 431 -3685. Under requirements in TMC 18.104.130, the time clock for issuing a permit within 120 days has been stopped and will be started again when these issues have been resolved.

Rants, Mayor Department of Community Development Steve Lancaster, Director July 8, 1997 Mark Travers, AIA 6253 - 13th Ave S. Seattle, WA 98108 Re: L97 -0035, Application for a Variance at 4350 S. 133rd Dear Mr. Travers: As you know, your application was determined to be complete as of July 3, 1997. You have 14 days to have a Notice Board prepared and posted on the site, as well as obtaining laminated copies of the Notice of Application and Site Plan to post on the site. Prior to receiving laminated copies for your posting, the signed Affidavit of Posting must be returned to this office by July 17, 1997. If you need any assistance on this, feel free to contact me. In regard to the substantive portions of your application, I am concerned about the extent of the information provided to support your request. Based upon my review of the materials you have provided, I am unable to determine exactly what the variance is you are seeking. Your application does not fully state what code or development standard you are seeking a variance from, the amount of the variance or any substantive information to be used to evaluate you and your client's proposal. As you will recall, your application was originally 'determined to be incornplete, as no Landscaping Plan prepared by a registered Landscape Architect was provided. When you provided me with a plan, 1 indicated that the landscaping standard in this zone could not be maintained. However, your application does not specifically request a variance from this standard. Accordingly, staff will recommend denial of your application due to the lack of clear and concise information on the nature of the variance(s). If you can provide additional information on the exact variances you are seeking and any other information to support your request, 1 will be happy to accept these until July 18, 1997. Any supplemental information provided after this date may not be included in staff's report and may affect determination of your request.

MARK TRAVERS ARCHITECT 2067670302 P.02 ll A. This variance is being requested to allow the owner an opportunity to make reasonable use of the property within the spirit of the current zoning designation. Specifically: 18.30.080 Basic Development Standards C!LI. Reduce setbacks as follows: Front ( S. 133rd, 25 feet required to a proposed 2 feet irregular) and second front yard (S. 131st PL,, 12.5 feet required to zero feet). The 12.5 foot landscape buffer is requested to be reduced to 2 feet with an irregularly shaped landscaped area that is defined by two large triangular areas to the South and East of the proposed building. The required parking for the proposed building Is 1.6 spaces for office space and .41E for the warehouse (storage area) for a total of 2,216 required, based on 416 sq.ft. of warehouse /storage and 747 sq.ft. of office space. Reduce the required parking to 2 spaces. Allow the development to reduce it's setback at the type 3 watercourse, with mitigation to be determined at the time of building permit application. B. Variance Criteria: 1. The intended use does not constitute a special privilege based on use or existing zone. Adjacent properties enjoy, on average larger parcels of land which can more effectively absorb the setback requirements dictated for the zone. The proposed parking is reasonable for the intended use. Two people will be using the office, The shop space is intended for material and tool storage and parking. 2, The request for a reasonable use of this small parcel does not constitute a special privilege. Adjacent parcels enjoy the same zoning, however this particular parcel is unique because of it's triangular shape with the hypotenuse and adjacent side subject to the 25 foot front yard setback, which combined with the side yard setback of 5 feet conspires to leave the owner with about 125 sq.ft. of build able area. Historically the subject parcel was part of lot 3 which is now separated by a Right of Way. 3, The granting of the proposed variance would not be detrimental to the health safely and welfare of the public. The only private landowner is to the West. The required setback to the West is 6 feet and the proposed setback to the West is 5 feet. There are no views to speak of in this area. The access proposed is from the North along a minor dead end right of way, which will minimize any traffic impacts. 4. The proposed project complies with the comprehensive plan and in some instances strongly supports it, Clearly, the proposed commercial use will support section €3.3.'s which states that the Northern portion of the Interurban Ave. corridor should be developed with a mix of commercial residential and Tight industrial uses. 5. Clearly, this parcel cannot be developed without this variance request being granted. As it stands currently there Is not much demand for a 125 sq.ft. building footprint that is kiTh,ist .e;' 5NidiileA;zx^: eia;E44 i.

Clearly, this parcel cannot be developed without this variance request being granted. As it stands currently there is not much demand for a 125 sq.ft. building footprint that is allowed to extend vertically for 45 feet. Adjacent property owners are using their parcels for various commercial purposes. Many of the buildings are non - conforming. There are no alternatives regarding the use of this property, except perhaps to make a gift of it to the City of Tukwila. A reasonable approach to development will allow the adjacent property owners, and the local jurisdiction to benefit from the granting of this application.
