MR. NEISS MOVED TO APPROVE THE MINUTES OF JANUARY 25, 1996. MR. MERYHEW SECONDED THE MOTION AND THE MOTION WAS UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED. With regard to the minutes of February 22, 1996, Mr. Marvin noted there was a typographical error on the bottom of page 2 which stated "Mr. Henry" and should have read "Mr. Marvin ". MR. MALINA MOVED TO APPROVE THE MINUTES OF FEBRUARY 22,1996 AS AMENDED. MR. NEISS SECONDED THE MOTION AND THE MOTION WAS UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED. -L96 -0008 USA Baby Jack Pace presented the staff report. He noted the applicant is proposing to increase the size of their wall sign from approximately 64 sq. ft. to 89 sq. ft. The maximum allowed per the Sign Code would be 89.3 sq. ft. Staff recommends approval of the sign increase based on the following reasons: 1. The distance set back from the street. 2. The size of the sign fits with the shape of the building. 3. Other signs in the area have been increased per the Planning Commission. Steve Zamberlin, National Sign Corp., 1255 Westlake Ave., Seattle, Wa 98109: He stated the sign channel lettering, and the sign is U.L. approved. Mr. Marvin closed the public hearing. Planning Commission /BAR Minutes - 3/28/96 Page 2 MR. LIVERMORE MOVED TO APPROVE L96 -0008: USA BABY, BASED ON STAFF'S FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS. MR. MALINA SECONDED THE MOTION AND THE MOTION WAS UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED. L95 -0063: Extended Stay Inn Alexa Berlow presented the staff report. This project was delayed from February 22nd and has undergone numerous changes from then. This project was subject to the multi- family design guidelines. The number of units have been increased by 6 and the number of parking spaces have been increased by 12. The landscaping has been augmented. Easements for a shared parking lot have been obtained. There have been changes to the entrance. There have also been revisions to the design and lighting plan. 53rd Ave. S. is now the new entrance to the site. Mr. Livermore asked if the applicant pushed for the access change. Ms. Berlow stated she believed it to be a negotiation between the applicant and the Department of Public Works due to the 51st St. bridge alteration. She added that the entry has been redefined with a small courtyard in the front. In the revised design, the roofline has been modulated and the entryways have been reduced in scale. Twelve additional parking spaces are proposed in a separate, shared lot. Access to the lot would be from a walkway and the sidewalk. Mr. Livermore expressed his concern for the safety of the remote parking lot. Ms. Berlow stated the employees would be parking there. Mr. Livermore said there are not enough parking spaces on -site. There are 12 parking spaces off :site, 89 parking spaces on -site and 96 units. Ms. Berlow clarified that there are 102 units, but six of those are used for staff only therefore 96 units are rentable. She added that the applicant has submitted a lighting plan and a proposal for five signs. There is one pole sign, one wall sign /canopy and three directional signs. Mr. Neiss asked if impervious surface calculations would be required for this project per the Multi- Family Design Standards? Mr. Pace clarified that staff is only required to use the "Guidelines" and not the "Standards" in applying them to hotels /motels.

Approximately 4 -6 trees will be removed and replaced. There is 40% impervious surface. He noted there is existing lighting at the off -site parking lot from the adjacent commercial property. However, if the Board feels the lighting is inadequate, they will add lighting. Mr. Berg added that there are 96 rental units and 6 units for staff. Three employees will remain on site. Mr. Meryhew asked about the roof shingles. Mr. Berg said it is a shingle which gives the appearance of a shake. Mr. Livermore asked if they considered using an underground water detention system. Mr. Berg said they considered it, but it was expensive and contributes to the pervious surface. Mr. Marvin asked if semi - trucks would have adequate access to the property. Mr. Pace noted that the Fire Department didn't see a problem with fire truck access. Mr. Marvin asked if an irrigation system with moisture sensors is proposed. Mr. Berg said there would be and it is a requirement of the City. Ray Frey, ESA Development, 1611 116 Ave NE, Bellevue, WA 98004: Mr. Frey said they have mostly business clientele and are roughly half the cost of the residence inns. The rooms are smaller, with a kitchenette. They are typically 70 -75% occupied. They close at approximately 7:00 p.m. There is no room service or restaurant. 10 -15% of their clients stay nightly, with rest staying on a weekly basis. They generate half of the traffic of a typical hotel. They usually have a rental car and drive to where they need to go. It is very rare that families would stay there. Mr. Meryhew asked if they offered a meeting room. Mr. Frey said they did not. Ms. Stetson asked if they offered shuttle service to the airport. Mr. Frey said they do not due to the cost. Mr. Livermore asked if they had daily maid service. z 1 ~w re 00 CO r cn W Wz W 0 u- Q. co �= W Z �. 1- O z� W 2 Di O N: ;0 I- 0, 0 iu H =. 0 �. z Planning Commission /BAR Page 4 Minutes - 3/28/96 Mr. Frey said they offered maid service once a week. Mr. Livermore asked how they would ensure that the trash is taken out properly. Mr. Frey said their clients would keep the trash in their rooms and the staff police the area carefully. The rooms are checked every 2 -3 days. He continued by saying that he didn't think they would even have to use the off -site parking lot. Ms. Berlow stated to the Board that the applicant cannot rely on other properties for lighting. Mr. Livermore asked if there was the possibility of providing access to the remote lot. Ms. Berlow said that the location is fairly steep, and there is a bio -swale and detention pond. Dan Sterns, Construction Manager: Mr. Sterns said they can look into moving the remote parking lot or adding a walkway. They also do not have a problem with adding additional lighting to the off -site parking lot. Mr. Marvin closed the public hearing. The Planning Commissioners agreed to let staff work with the applicant to provide adequate lighting to the off -site employee parking lot or explore relocating the parking lot. They also agreed that the lack of a sidewalk is not an issue. MR. NEISS MOVED TO APPROVE L95 -0063: EXTENDED STAY INN, BASED UPON STAFFS FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS, AND THE CONDITION THAT THE APPLICANT ENSURE ADEQUATE LIGHTING FOR ADDITIONAL PARKING IN THE COOPERATIVE PARKING AREA. MR. MERYHEW SECONDED THE MOTION AND THE MOTION WAS UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED. During the Director's Report reviewed proposed changes to the Fire Station #53 project. The Planning Commission was agreeable to these changes. The Commissioners also agreed to hold a work session on HB 1724 on May 2nd and an open house on May 9th. Mr. Marvin adjourned the meeting.

However, in no case may the proposed sign exceed 6% of the wall area or 500 s.f., whichever is less. The Planning Commission is also authorized to grant less than the proposed increase in the sign area or no increase. The 1,488 s.f. tenant wall on which the sign is to be located is 225 feet back from the front property line. This compares with the required 15 foot building setback. The proposed 89 s.f. sign is the maximum which may be authorized by the Planning Commission in this case under the 6% maximum limit. CONCLUSIONS The Planning Division concludes the following: 1. The proposed 89 s.f. sign exceeds the maximum basic 64.5 s.f. sign area. However, it is within the maximum 89.3 s.f. sign which could be authorized by the Planning Commission per TMC 19.32.140(A). 2. The proposed sign is visually in scale with the building and is consistent with the overall project design. RECOMMENDATIONS The Planning Division recommends approval of the proposed sign area increase from 64.5 s.f to 89 s.f. z • • • _ �! z • ' u1 .

We are requesting that the allowable sign area be increased by the doubling of the required minimum setback from the property line to the building wall which supports the sign display, per the City of Tukwila Sign Code (19.32.140). USA Baby's current permitted sign area is 64.52 sq.ft., and the addition of 50% would increase the area to 96.78 sq.ft. However, the sign area may not exceed that allowed for shopping malls (19.32.150), which is 6% of the exposed building face area. Six percent of USA Baby's building face is 89.28 sq.ft. maximum allowable sign area. We are proposing a sign of 89.15 sq.ft. total display area. Also, the actual setback to the store is 225 ft. USA Baby requests this increase as all of it's tenant space is virtually blocked by the Chec Medical and Applebee's Restaurant buildings in Parkway Plaza, and the setback of 225 ft. is very sizeable compared with many surrounding businesses in the immediate vicinity. This unique location has very, very poor visibility from Southcenter Parkway and the permitted sign area of 64.52 sq.ft. is not sufficient for proper identification We appreciate your prompt review and acceptance of this application as March 13th is the opening date for business. I hope this information is helpful in your review. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
