The following answers are provided in response to commermh in1994 your memo dated April 27, 1994: COMiviuN■ a` DEVELOPMENT 1. Yes, a draft soils study has been completed. 2. No evidence of unstable soils is based on field observation. 3a. The planter strip is not specifically called out on the plans or sections; however, it is located between the proposed curb and sidewalk. Revised sections reflecting this location are attached. b. The additional landscape strip reduces the overall impervious surface from 99% to 95 %. c. Revegetation will typically be erosion control or lanscaping with trees, shrubs, etc in the planter strip. There is no work proposed on the river bank so no new trees or shrubs are proposed for this area. eo Mod s i,1 1m iL Ned & �k -s►�l� , 4. No.stormwater treatment is needed in shoreline area due to adding less than 5000 sq feet of impervious surface. Other areas will utilize oil water separators based on King County design. 5. Portions of sidewalk fall outside existing right -of- way in easements being acquired. 5. This concept was considered and eliminated in a mini value engineering study because the landscape areas do not offer adequate width or slope to accomodate biofiltration swales. 6. Northwest Auto Wrecking, Randy's Diner, and Kidder - Matthews have parking which will be impacted by the project. The owners have been contacted and invited to public meetings held at the Museum of Flight. 7. The word industrial should be removed so the sentence reads " urban design standards." 8. The answer to this question should be changed to read as follows: Approximately 53 spaces, 47 marked and 6 unmarked, will be affected by this project. Approximately 9 to 24 spaces can be saved by reconfiguration depending on results of discussions currently in progress with property owners. Location Spaces Restored Northwest Auto Wrecking Randy's Diner Kidder- Matthews 0 -15 0 9 9. This section does not lie within the shoreline area. The south end of this area is the signalized intersection of South 96th which is the primary access to the Museum of Flight. 10. The back of the proposed sidewalk is at or very close to the top of river bank. The sidewalk is basically the limit of public access. S 104 St is outside the project limits, however, the roadway has a narrow shoulder to the top of bank thus severely limiting public access. 11. East Marginal Way is not an established or designated bike route. Bikes will have to use the outside lanes. 12. Landscaping of intersection will constraints allowed pedestrian pole crossings. raised channelized islands be provided within the by sight distance, signal and locations, and pedestrian I apologize for taking so long to respond to your memo.

To: From:` John A. Pierog, PW Development Engineer Denni Shefrin, Planning Division Date: June 30, 1994 Subject: Muth (Bonsai NW) Greenhouse 14427 51st Avenue South Project No. P93 -0150 Activity No. L94 -0038 Design (BAR) Review Application Review Comments The above application was reviewed at the June 21st Public Works plan review meeting. Since this project involves 3,600 square feet of new impervious area in a. confined space, it was felt that a storm drainage analysis and design, in accordance with the King County Surface Water Design Manual, should be provided as part of the above application submittal. In this way, site preparation and construction to accommodate storm drainage would be reviewed and approved early in the process. This would minimize or eliminate the need for changes in the site design at a later date. For your information, it appears that the existing water line in 51st Avenue South is substandard with regard to size. Therefore, prior to approval of the building and irrigation permits, the property owner will be required to sign a Water No- Protest Agreement for future upgrade of the line. If you do not feel that storm drainage design is necessary at this point in time, we have no objections. It will be required prior to the approval of development permits in any event. If you have questions about this, please let me know. Tnx.X JAP /jap cf: Development File RECEIVED JUL 0 11994 COIVIIVILJNi'I Y DEVELOPMENT M E M O R A N D U M TO: ij FROM: Ann Denn �/ RE: Eas arginal Way Shoreline Permit DATE: A. it 8, 1994 rt ! 1;)�/ Vvwuvw,v, Y DEVELOPMENT Denni, I have some comments and questions on the East Marginal shoreline project. You've probably already considered these things, but.... Application doesn't give a clear picture of the existing vegetation along the river. For example, text indicates there are existing trees within the project area, and I know there are some; however, permit drawings don't show any. Also, it's not clear on drawings how much "existing vegetation" is to be removed by improvements, how much is to be retained, and what exactly the vegetation is. Application should probably include an enlarged plan view of areal extent of vegetation, and construction limit line (note: the construction limit line is always more extensive than the edge of improvements). If construction, fill or equipment will be within 10' of dripline of any tree, the Tree Ordinance will require tree replacement. If any areas of vegetation are to be protected, we should require, as shoreline permit condition, that a construction barrier be installed prior to beginning work. Can we get additional tree or shrub plantings along the river, to enhance river environment and public access? The stretch of EMWS next to river bend could provide really nice public access to the river, especially where 104th Street intersects EMWS. (In fact, I envision dead end 104th might eventually be closed to auto, & could be nice river access area). How will the EMWS project enhance public access? The flowering pear recommended by consultant is OK street tree, but doesn't provide the shade or wildlife value important in the river environment. Can we get something else? Are the street improvements consistent with Boeing EIS' design guidelines? Are we getting room for bike lane? cc: Jack Pace April 6, 1994 City of Tukwila Department of Community Development Ms. Liz Gotterer METRO Exchange Building 812 Second Ave., M.S. 64 Seattle, WA 98104 -1598 Subject: East Marginal Way Proposed Improvements Dear Ms. Gotterer: John W. Rants, Mayor Rick Beeler, Director Please find enclosed a copy of the SEPA Checklist for proposed right -of -way improvements along East Marginal Way South. Improvements include the addition of two 12 -foot wide drive lanes: one north and one southbound lane, curb; gutter, sidewalk, planting strips, signalization and transit facilities as necessary. The project location extends from Boeing Access Road northward to approximately S. 87th Place. Improvements would be constructed by the City of Tukwila A Shorelines Permit is also required for this project. Any comments you may have should be forwarded to me by May 6, 1994.
