RE: SEPA Determinations for Showalter Middle School and Cascade
View Elementary School.
I appreciate you forwarding the SEPA determinations for the schools
which the City had not previously received. We received the two
Determinations of Nonsignificance's on October 19, 1994.
As discussed on the phone today, the School District, as lead
agency, has extended the comment period to November 2, 1994.
Because the City is not the lead agency but rather an agency of
jurisdiction, the. City is required to be notified by the lead
agency upon SEPA determination.
I will forward the SEPA comments as soon as possible. Thank you
for your assistance in this matter.

RE: Cascade View Elementary and Showalter Middle School Traffic Impact Study
Dear Ron and Vernon:
I received a call from Ralph Rohwer with Heery International Inc. who is working for the
South Central School District on the remodel and additions to the above referenced schools.
He informed me that the staff from Tukwila Planning has stated in their review of the traffic
impact analysis that they have found the study to be incomplete.
I have reviewed my notes in our project file and found that, based on phone conversations with
you, existing and future parking demands during the day and the evening were of major
concern. Traffic flows were not identified as a potential problem. Therefore, the study
focused on existing parking and future parking increases which could resulttfrom the proposed
projects. Parking surveys were made, future trip increases identified, andtparking impacts
identified based on input from the School District and our limited survey of on and off street
parking at these two locations. Showalter Middle School was estimated to have 108 additional
vehicular staff trips and Cascade View Elementary School did not anticipate any increase in
staff or student trips. Traffic level -of- service analyses were not made. School trips do not
coincide with peak trips. The reports were then submitted to the City.

d. Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the immediate vicinity? If so,
describe.
There is no history of unstable soils on the site.
e. Describe the purpose, type, and approximate quantities of any filling or grading proposed.
Indicate source of fill.
There will be grading necessary for the new addition and paved areas. It is estimated that
there will be 7,110 c.y. of cut and 55 c.y. of fill need for this project.
f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? If so, generally describe.
Short term increase in potential for on site erosion is always possible during site
preparation & development activity.
Yes, erosion could occur especially in regraded area west of the new building addition.
About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after project
construction (for example, asphalt or buildings)?
The existing impervious area is approximately 83,292 SF (1.91 acres) acres. The new
addition and paved parking areas will have 58,119 SF (1.33 acres) acres of impervious
surface. The impervious area for the total site is 141,411 SF (3.25 acres), or 36.4 %.
h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth, if any:
Prior to site work a grading permit shall have been obtained for any on -site grading which is
not exempted by section 7003 UBC. A temporary erosion and sedimentation control plan
(TESCP) shall have been submitted and approved.
g.
2. Air
a. What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal (i.e., dust, automobile
odors, industrial wood smoke) during construction and when the project is completed? If
any, generally describe and give approximate quantities if known.
Short term emissions and odors would be from construction equipment and site preparation.
These impacts would be minimal. There will be no significant long -term impacts. The
main generator of emissions is from vehicles coming to and from the school. Automobile
emissions consists mainly of carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons and photochemical
oxidants. There will be a minimal increase in traffic to the site.
b. Are there any off -site sources of emissions or odor that may affect your proposal? If so,
generally describe.
The main off -site sources of emissions are from automobiles travelling along the adjacent
roadways.
c. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to air, if any:
The Washington Clean Air Act requires the use of all known, available, and reasonable means
of controlling air pollution including dust. Construction impacts will not be significant and
can be controlled by watering or using dust suppressants on areas of exposed soils and washing
truck wheels before they leave the site.

Temporary and permanent drainage facilities will be used to control surface runoff during
construction and after development (as required by the city). The existing storm drainage system
will be modified to accept the new drainage system. No open space ponding is proposed and all
detention will be contained in underground pipe or vault systems. Run off is collected in storm
drain system piped to a detention pipe. Once water leaves detention system it enters a 130' bio-
filtration swale, then goes off site into a side road ditch system.
Construction impacts could be minimized by the following:
- schedule construction during the drier months of the year.
-provide temporary cover for any exposed areas: and
-keep runoff velocities low.

The new classroom space is needed to meet the current enrollment for the district.
1. Proposed measures to ensure the proposal is compatible with existing and projected land
uses and plans, if any:
A school facility is allowed as a conditional use in the R Zone. Conditional use requires special
review to ensure that the proposed use is compatible with uses allowed in the same zone. The
new school will allow additional classrooms to house the existing and projected enrollment for
Cascade View Elementary School. This will be a state -of -the -art school which will allow the
District to provide special programs that currently are unable to be housed in the existing school
facility. The site can be adequately served by utilities. There are provisions for adequate
parking, access and circulation. There will be a minimal increase in traffic and noise as a result
of the expansion. The new school will generally be compatible with the existing buildings in
height and exterior appearance. There should be minimal impacts to the surrounding residential
community.
9. Housing
a. Approximately how many units would be provided, if any? Indicated whether high, middle,
or low- income housing?
None.
b. Approximately how many units, if any, would be eliminated? Indicated whether high,
middle, or low - income housing?
None.
c. Proposed measures to reduce or control housing impacts, if any:
There are no housing impacts. School expansion is necessary to meet student population that
exists in the school service boundary.
10. Aesthetics
a. What is the tallest height of any proposed structure(s), not including antennas: what is the
principal exterior building material(s) proposed?
The tallest structure will be the ridge line of the new gymnasium at 32' above the ground. The
principal building materials will be brick and stucco.
b. What views in the immediate vicinity would be altered or obstructed?
Views across the back of the site will be altered by the new addition.

11. Light and Glare
a. What type of light or glare will the proposal produce? What time of day would it mainly
occur?

lighting. Also, light will be produced from vehicle headlights. This will be minimal due to the
limited usage of the school during the nighttime hours. There will be security lighting during
this time.
b. Could light or glare from the finished project be a safety hazard with views?
No.
c. What existing off-site sources of light or glare may affect your proposal?
Main off site sources of light and glare are from vehicles using adjacent streets and the
surrounding land uses.
d. Proposed measures to reduce of control light and glare impacts, if any

surrounding residential uses. Classroom usage is mainly during daytime hours with minimal
building lighting during the evening hours. Any additional lighting will be shielded as to not
increase the ambient light level to an unacceptable level.

CONDITIONAL USE APPLICATION
CITY OF TUKWILA, DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Project name: Cascade View Elementary School
Project Application No: L94 - 0069
Additional information
Date: October 17, 1994
8. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED USE
The proposed Project consists of additions and modernization of an existing
elementary school.
The original Cascade View Elementary School was built as four buildings connected
by covered walkways in 1957. Additions and modernization are planned to meet the current
and projected program needs for 400 students, Kindergarten through Fifth Grade, plus
Preschool. Two four -room portable buildings currently on site are used as instructional space
and will be removed. Their uses will be incorporated into the new school building.
The 29,589 square feet existing school plus covered walkways will be modernized.
The existing structure will receive seismic upgrades, new insulation, window and doors
replacement, and a new pitched roofs. All spaces will receive new mechanical and electrical
systems, new finishes and new equipment.
Additions of 31,041 square feet are planned in several areas. A 4200 sf Gymnasium
will be built on the northeast corner of the existing facility, adjacent to the existing Multi-
purpose Room. A 20,256 sf classroom addition will be located on the west side of the
existing school, consisting of new Library, Preschool, Kindergarten and First Grade
classrooms and Music Room. The classroom addition has been configured with the existing
buildings to enclose a large central outdoor courtyard, meant to focus the whole school
toward a new "heart", and create a clear organization of the whole facility. New covered
walkways are planned for the front (east) side and at the junctions between buildings.
Sitework includes a reconfiguration of the existing driveway, additional driveways and
parking, new fire lane, utility upgrades, storm drainage, landscaping, new sidewalks and new
playgrounds. The current small parking lot will be revised. The bus and car driveways will
be separated so as to provide order and safety to the traffic flow on a very limited and
congested existing street access. Busses will travel a new one way loop at the present main
entry to the school. The new car driveway will weave along the north side of the site to a
turn- around near the new Library, thus defining a second entrance to the school. A new paved
playground and play equipment area is planned to the south of the building, and may include
a covered play structure.
Architectural form, revised traffic patterns, and landscape have been carefuly
considered in order to improve the clarity of the movement through the campus, and to
enhance the identity of the school both as a vital civic landmark and as an inviting place for
learning.
10 A. The proposed use will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious
to the property or improvements in the vicinity of the proposed use or in the district in
which the subject property is situated
The proposal will not be materially detrimental to the property or improvements in the
vicinity. Many aspects of the new project will in fact improve upon existing conditions.
Security will be enhansed by fencing off of the interior courtyards of the school, and with
improved lighting throughout the site. Lighting has been designed so as to provide adequate
light for security, but not to spill on to neighboring property. Landscape planting provides
buffers to residential roperties on the north, west and south sides of the school.
10 B. The proposed use shall meet or exceed the performance standards that are required in
the district it will occupy.
All aspects of the proposed use will meet current code. With respect to Fire and Life Safety
Issues, the modernization will be brought up to current Building Codes, along with the new
additions. For example, structural improvements are planned to meet current seismic
regulations; all kitchen and toilet facilities will be replaced and reconfigured to meet Health
Department and ADA regulations; new fire lane, improved water service meet Fire
Department requirements and a new automatic fire sprinkler system throughout exceed the
Fire District minimum requirements.
City of Tukwila Title 18 Zoning Code regulations will be met and exceeded. The building
Yard and Area Regulations have been met. The height for all buildings, including the new
gymnasium is under the 30 foot limitation. Parking on site has been increased to meet Code.
Planned landscape exceeds the Code requirements by providing a buffer along perimeters
bounded by nearby residences.
IOC. The proposed development shall be compatible generally with the surrounding land
uses in terms of traffic and pedestrian circulation, building and site design.
Although the project does propose an increase in building area, the proposal in not a change
in use, nor is it an increase in number of users. The school population will remain the same.
The current traffic and pedestrian circulation demands will not change or increase as a result
of the proposed use. A "Traffic Impact Analysis" has been prepared for use in planning this
proposal by Perteet Engineering. The proposed site layout will make the existing traffic and
pedestrian patterns function more clearly and more safely. Bus and auto traffic will be
separated in the new scheme, thus avoiding confusion that now exists. Parking will be
distributed so as not to conflict with traffic flow, and the number of stalls increased to meet
current code. Pedestrian routes will be clearly marked. Students will wait for busses in a
protected area, out of traffic, and walkways will cross as few driveways as possible. New
sidewalks along the street are proposed, where none now exist, and crosswalks will be clearly
marked.
Cascade View Elementary School
The proposed building and site design is compatible with surrounding uses. The surrounding
properties are small, single family residences. The building additions have been planned as
one storey, and building massing has been screened and set back so as not to be incompatible
with the scale of neighboring residences. Materials and colors have been selected to blend
with the scale and character of the neighborhood.
10D. The proposed use shall be in keeping with the goals and policies of the
Comprehensive Land Use Policy Plan.
The following responses refer to relevant policies of the Comprehensive Land Use Policy
Plan:
Natural Environment, Objective 1, Policy 1: There is an area of steep slope, class 2, on the
west edge of the site. No new development will occur in this area.
N.E., 01, P2: There is an abundance of live vegetation in the proposed landscape plan.
N.E., 01, P3: There are existing madrona and fir trees on the site, many of which must be
removed for the new addition. As many trees as possible are to be saved, but many of the
Madrona trees are in very poor condition. These trees will be removed or trimmed so as not
to pose a danger from falling limbs.
N.E., 03, P2: The proposal has been planned for one storey, so as to preserve the views from
the neighbors.
N.E., 03, P4: Considerable excavation must occur to accommodate the new building. The
fill material will be reused on site where practicable, and the excess disposed off site.
N.E., 06, P1: A Geotechnical Engineer has tested the site and prepared a report outlining
precautions to be taken in site modification. The Contractor will submit an erosion control
plan for use during construction to the Building Official prior to permitting.
Open Space, Objective 1, Policy 3: Active recreation areas (two softball fields, one soccer
field, two play structures, and paved playgrounds) are existing and will be upgraded. The
Tukwila Parks and Recreation Department has agreed to participate in the upgrading of these
facilities for community use. Additionally, a new gymnasium has been incorporated into the
Projet for school use, and also for community use.
O.S., 01, P4 &5: the Tukwila Parks and Recreation Department may locate a picnic area at
this site. (At present an Alternate, depending on Bid costs)
O.S., 01, P6: The open space will be buffered from neighboring residences with some new
plantings.
Cascade View Elementary School
O.S., 02 & 3, General: A walking trail is planned for the entire perimeter of the site, linking
already established pathways from off site on to the site. This trail will be an Alternate in the
Bid Documents for this project, and will be constructed if funding allows.
Residence, Objective 1, Policy 1 &2: Though not an "incompatible" use, the proposal will be
buffered from close neighbors with landscaping, and will be minimal in height so as to
minimize impact off site. The play fields buffer the proposal from other surrounding
neighbors.
R, 01, P4: Though traffic will not increase, the proposal circulates traffic more on site than
is currently being done.
R, 01, P6: New perimeter trail and new sidewalks at the street will improve pedestrian safe
passage between residences and the proposal.
R, 04, General: The new proposal will improve the security of the existing school by adding
adequate light to parking areas and the immediate building site ( while not adversely affecting
the neighbors). The proposal also contains an ornamental gate system which will prevent
access into the middle of the school building cluster off hours.
Transportation/Utilities, Objective 1, Policy 1: As stated above, traffic routing has been
revised in the proposal to minimize conflict between traffic and parked vehicles.
T., 01, P2: Maneuvering of vehicles will occur on site.
T., 01, P4: Design of roads will be designed to current standards.
T., 01, P12: In early planning a fire lane was proposed to circle the new building around the
east side. Still meeting Fire Department requirements, this road was deleted because of the
detrimental effect of the added grading on the existing natural environment in that area of the
site.
T, 06,P1: An interconnected network of sidewalks is proposed around the school site,
connected with a pathway system that continues around the play fields.
T.,06,P2: As described above, the new plan separates car, bus, pedestrian traffic and allows
for safe staging of pedestrians at bus and car drop off zones.
T.,06,P3: New sidewalks are proposed along the street and pathways are proposed which
better link residences to the school.
T.,06,P4: New walkways will meet accessibility standards.
T.,06,P8: Lighting, signage, proper setbacks, and ample staging areas for pedestrians have
Cascade View Elementary School
been incorporated into the design.
T, 03,4,5, General: Water and sanitary sewer will be connected to existing systems. All will
meet the criteria of the water and sewer districts.
T.,O6,General: Storm water will be handled by a combination pipe and non - structural (bio-
filtration swale) system, and will meet all jurisdictional requirements.
T., 08, General: Electrical and Communications systems will be undergrounded from the
street. Design must be cost effective.
10E. All measures have been taken to minimize the possible adverse impacts which the
proposed use may have on the area in which it is located.
The proposal has addressed adverse impacts that exist in the area now, and mitigated them.
Such impacts are the congestion of car, bus and pedestrian parking and drop -off, and the
general run -down nature of all the existing building, landscape, and play facilities. The
proposal includes a significant increase in area of new buildings and the proposal applies the
same principles relative to minimizing adverse impacts to the new addition as to the existing.

I appreciate you forwarding the SEPA determinations for the schools .
which the City had not previously received. We received the two
Determinations of Nonsignificance's on October 19, 1994.
As discussed on the phone today, the School District, as lead
agency, has extended the comment period to November 2, 1994.
Because the City is not the lead agency but . rather an agency of
jurisdiction, the City is required to be notified by the lead
agency upon SEPA determination.
I will forward the SEPA comments as soon as possible.. Thank you

RE: Cascade View. Elementary and Showalter Middle School Traffic Impact Study
Dear Ron and Vernon:
I received a call from Ralph Rohwer with Heery International Inc. who is working for the
South Central School District on the remodel and additions to the above referenced schools.
He informed me that the staff from Tukwila Planning has stated in their review of the traffic
impact analysis that they have found the study to be incomplete.
I have reviewed my notes in our project file and found that, based on phone conversations with
you, existing and future parking demands during the day and the evening were of major
concern. Traffic flows were not identified as a potential problem. Therefore, the study
focused on existing parking and future parking increases which could result from the proposed
projects. Parking surveys were made, future trip increases identified, and parking impacts
identified based on input from the School District and our limited survey of on and off street
parking at these two locations. Showalter Middle School was estimated to have 108 additional
vehicular staff trips and Cascade View Elementary School did not anticipate any increase in
staff or student trips. Traffic level -of- service analyses were not made. School trips do not
coincide with peak trips. The reports were then submitted to the City.

FINDINGS
BACKGROUND
L94 -0069 & L94 -0071: Cascade View
Page 3
1. Project description: This project entails the renovation and substantial additions to an
existing elementary school in order to meet current and projected needs for 400 kindergarten
through fifth grade students. Additions comprise approximately 31,041 square feet, some
of which replace four portable structures. A 4,200 square foot gymnasium will be added to
Building "B." Most of the additions will be in an entirely new structure, Building "E." This
will house music rooms, classrooms, kindergarten and a 'resource center. The new structure
forms a U- shaped end to a courtyard, one that extends from the main entrance between
Buildings "A" and "B." Exterior finish will be a stucco system for the additions, because of
the unavailability of the block veneer used in the original buildings. When completed, the
project will contain approximately 55,564 square feet, which more than doubles its present
24,523 square feet. The height of the complex will be less than 30 feet.
Parking will be increased from its present 47 spaces to a total of 100. Of these, 56 will be
permanent stalls on site. There will be an additional 45 "event" spaces. Of them 32 will be
on turf, 8 will use the bus loop, and 5 will be in the "car drop" area. The main parking lot
will be substantially relocated as part of this program. New driveway entrances will be 34
feet wide, to allow for bus and truck movements. There will also be a separate 20 foot wide
fire lane to serve the south side of the complex. The current staff of 36 full time people will
increase to 39 in the near future.
With the exception of the kindergarten play area, all playground equipment will be relocated
to the south of the complex. They will be installed on the northern edge of the present
playfields. Thirty five of the 41 mature trees on the site will be removed by the proposed
renovation project; many of these are diseased, especially the madronas. A combination
of tulip trees and red oaks are proposed as a replacement. One of two existing ball fields
will be removed in order to accommodate both Building "E" and the relocated playground
equipment. A shelter is proposed to cover a set of basketball courts in this new play area.
A gravel wallcing path will surround the playfields. It will also provide access to 32nd Ave
at the southeast corner. A similar path will cross the western side of the site adjacent to the
Kindergarten tot -lot.
New signs for the school will be submitted as a separate application at a later date. Loading
and dumpster areas will be screened, as well as any rooftop mechanical equipment. The
Tukwila Parks Department is considering the installation of a Picnic Shelter on the site as
a cooperative facility for serving the playfields in off - school hours.
Staff Report to the
BAR and Planning Commission
L94 -0069 & L94 -0071: Cascade View
Page 4
2. Site Description: The 9 -acre site consists of two terraces, one for playfields, the other
for school structures and parking. There are prominent views of the Cascades to the east
of the site.
3. Surrounding Land Uses: Single family residences.
4. Terrain: The proposed improvements will be located in an area graded for the existing
facilities. Land here slopes at a modest one per cent grade up approximately six feet from
east to west, and two feet from north to south. Playfields have a similar slope, and are
about 10 feet above the level where the school buildings are located. Even with this slight
change in grade, excavation will be needed to accommodate the footprint of Building "E."
Plans show lowering the grade at this point approximately 10 feet, which is low enough to
permit the new structure to connect by ramps to buildings "C" and "D."
5. Access is from 32nd Avenue, a two lane asphalt street having neither curbs, gutters, or
sidewalks along its entire length. Three new access points will replace the existing pair of
driveways. New sidewalks will be installed along the entire street frontage. Striped
crosswalks are shown across the drives and across 32nd Ave. Grades of walkways
throughout the campus are designed to promote accessibility for people with disabilities.
6. Public Facilities include the nearby Riverton Methodist Church, the Riverton Crest
Cemetery, and the extension campus for Central Washington University. This latter campus
used to be the Glacier High School. Overhead utility lines provide service to the elementary
school complex.
7. Public Review is required for the proposed project in two parts. A conditional use
permit review will address the issues of a significant expansion of an existing public school
located within a residential zone. Design review will address the site and architectural
impact of the proposed site renovations and additions. Both of the review criteria are
included in this combined report.
I. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT

Review Criteria (Tukwila Municipal Code 18.64.050)
Criteria 1. The proposed use will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property
or improvements in the vicinity of the proposed use or in the district in which the subject property is situated.
An elementary school is permitted in residential zones subject to approval of a
Conditional Use Permit. Although Cascade View's size (55,500+ square feet) exceeds
those of adjoining residential structures, the proposed additions are customary ones for
such schools. The 4,200 square foot gym has been set back 85 feet from 32nd Avenue.
The major new structure (20,256 sf) will be located over 300 feet from the public right of
way, behind the existing structures. It is also located over 60 feet from the nearest
property line.
The original four structures and their covered walkways were built in 1957 and are in
need of substantial modernization, including removal of hazardous materials such as
asbestos. Security will be enhanced by fencing off the interior courtyard, and by
providing nighttime lighting in the parking areas. Additional landscape planting will
screen residential properties on the north and south sides of the school.
Criteria 2. The proposed use shall meet or exceed the performance standards that are required in the district it
will occupy.
The proposed development plans for the school, plus the attached conditions meet the
performance standards in the R -1 - 7200 zoning district. This includes designing to
seismic standards, abating hazardous materials complying with Disability Act
requirements, and meeting Fire Code specifications. Proposed perimeter landscaping will
exceed those required by the zoning code. Overhead utility lines will be undergrounded,
thus reducing visual clutter.
The site plan shows 56 permanent stalls for the 55,564 square foot facility. The
standards in the zoning code require 59, based on the calculation of 1.5 spaces per staff
member, assuming a future full -time staff of 39. There will be a shortage of 3 spaces
from that required by the zoning code. Parking studies by Perteet Engineering
(Attachment M) indicate that .peak usage of the existing 47 spaces at the present school
is 83 %. That rate of usage is based on an existing full-time staff of 36 plus an additional
10 itinerant staff. The Perteet report notes, "There is no spill-over parking from the
school onto the surrounding streets during normal school hours." Attachment M, p.3.
Site plans provide an additional 45 parking spaces for "public assembly." The basis for
this requirement is that there will be a total of 7,990 square feet of Public Assembly
space created by this modernization program. About half of this will be the
multi- purpose rooms and the other half will be gymnasium space. Zoning requires 1
space for each 100 square feet, such that a total of (7,990 / 100 =) 80 spaces will be
required. Of this figure (80), 56 are already provided in the parking lot at the north side
Staff Report to the
BAR and Planning Commission Page 6
of the school. The balance (80 -56 = ) 24 will be located in two areas. Ten (10) would
be located out of the fire lanes on the asphalt play area. An additional 14 spaces would
be provided in the bus drop -off area (9) and the car drop -off area (5). The zoning code
requires striping and wheel stops for these spaces. Technically there will be a shortage of
10 on -site parking spaces because those proposed for the asphalt playground would be
unstriped. Perteet notes, It is expected that [during] after - school events, parking will
spill over into the adjacent neighborhood." Attachment M, p.4.
L94 -0069 & L94 -0071: Cascade View
Criteria 3. The proposed development shall be compatible generally with the surrounding land uses in terms of
traffic and pedestrian circulation, building and site design.
Circulation will be enhanced by separating bus and car traffic. Students will have new
covered walkways. Security access will be improved by installation of an asphalt fire lane
to the south side of the building. There will be both car and bus drop -off zones in the
parking areas. New sidewalks will be added along the entire street frontage. Striped
crosswalks will be provided at the driveway entrances and at the intersection with 136th
Street.
Site design will also feature the installation of a new storm drainage system and
automatic irrigation system. These two features should enhance water quality, and
protect planting areas.
The proposed building design will transform a set of flat - roofed structures to ones with
gabled roofs, bay windows and bright colors. These and the new classroom/library/
structure will be organized around a new 200+ foot central courtyard. Views of the
Cascades from the existing structures will be maintained. The major addition (Building
"E ") will be set into the ground such that its height and mass will be diminished when
seen from its neighbors to the west.
Criteria 4. The proposed use shall be in keeping with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Land Use
Policy Plan.
The proposed modernization is supported by many goals in the Land Use Policy Plan.
These include:
Natural Environment Goals 1 (Gauge development of the land in a manner suitable to
the natural environment) and 2 (Use and preserve the natural features and resources of
the physical environment in a wise and posterity- oriented manner.)
Open Space Goal 3 (provide meaningful recreational opportunity for all people of
Tukwila regardless of sex, age, color, or socioeconomic status
Residence Goal 1 (Preserve the pleasantness and integrity of viable single -family areas.)
The applicant has noted specific objectives and policies within the Plan's sections that
address Natural Environment, Open Space, and Residence. See Attachment A, reply to
Staff Report to the
BAR and Planning Commission
question 10D.
L94 -0069 & L94 -0071: Cascade View
Page 7
Criteria 5. All measures have been taken to minimize the possible adverse impacts which the proposed use may
have on the area in which it is located.
The proposal includes measures to remedy a series of impacts, such as seismic, fire
safety, aesthetics. These were mentioned in the responses to criteria 1, 2, and 3, above.
Perimeter landscaping along the parking lot will screen this area from adjacent
residences. New trees along the west and south sides are intended to filter and moderate
views of the structures. Perimeter landscaping along the 20 fire access road will buffer
views from adjoining residences. Spill-over parking is likely to occur during off -hour
events, and may require additional improvements to the site.
CONCLUSIONS
Conclusions are grouped under the review criteria.
Criteria 1. Reconstruction of this school is a public benefit. The proposal creates no
material injury to public welfare or nearby property. The proposed gym, library, music
rooms and other features are necessary for the functioning of a school.
Criteria 2. The proposal conforms to height and set -back standards in the zoning district.
Buildings are below the 30 foot height limit New additions are generously set back from
property lines. Even the major facility (the west U- shaped structure) will be built some
11 feet below the grade of the nearest property line, making it relatively unobtrusive
from its western neighbors.
The zoning code's requirement of 1.5 parking spaces per staff member is adequate for
day -time use of the facility. Even if the number (56) is short three (3) from required by
the code, the plan contains 14 drop -off spaces, which is a safety factor to provide
enough extra spaces for part-time staff, visitors, and service people. Further, the
consultant's report on parking demand demonstrates that the present parking lot has
nearly 20% excess capacity.
Provisions for event -type parking, however, may be inadequate to prevent spill -over
impacts in the neighborhood. Eighty (80) stalls are required for event parking, and this
number is partly met by the 56 stalls in the parking lot. That number (56,) plus 5
drop -off and 9 bus -load spaces would create 56 +5 +9 = 70 spaces on site. The zoning
code requires an additional 80 -70 = 10 spaces. Vehicles could be parked on the nearby
asphalt playground area, using the 20' wide fire road for access. If adequate signs and
other improvements are installed this appears to be sufficient for such high- demand
events.

BAR and Planning Commission

Page 8
Criteria 3. Provisions for landscaping, height and setbacks already meet or exceed the
performance standards in the R -1 zoning district. The proposal's design features will be
compatible once they have been given Board of Architectural Review approval. The
one -story buildings, their colors and materials blend well with the neighborhood.
Criteria 4. The proposal complies with the Comprehensive Plan. It provides meaningful
recreation opportunities and adds to the integrity of single family areas.
Criteria 5. With the exception of over -flow parking, the proposal minimizes adverse
impacts on nearby property. As noted under Criteria 2 above, on -site parking is short 10
spaces from that required by code. Some of this conceivably could be accommodated on
an informal basis within the asphalt portions of the playground, and out of the striped
fire lanes. One alternative is to provide additional asphalt parking to the south of the
play area; the other is to use the turf areas adjacent to the play area for this same
purpose.
Other possible impacts on adjoining areas have been evaluated and addressed in the
Staff Report for the Design Review application.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The Department of Community Development recommends approval of the proposed
project, subject to the following conditions:
1. If there is a demonstrated, consistent after -hours parking demand which exceeds the
80 stall capacity for the school, the matter shall be reviewed at a public hearing before
the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission may at that time require the
School District to construct, to zoning code standards and within a reasonable period of
time, additional on -site parking as determined necessary to accommodate school events.
These spaces shall be in a location as shown on the site plan as "event overflow parking,"
or as determined by the Commission.

II DESIGN REVIEW
FINDINGS
DISCUSSION
The zoning code also requires the Board of Architectural Review to consider the specific
design of the proposed school complex and its landscaping.
GENERAL REVIEW CRITERIA
Board of Architectural Review Criteria are shown in bold type along with a staff
discussion. The Applicant's response to the criteria is contained in Attachment A.
Review Guidelines (Tukwila Municipal Code 18.60.050)
1. Relationship of Structure to Site.
(A) The site should be planned to accomplish a desirable transition with the streetscape and to provide for
adequate landscaping and pedestrian movement;
(B) Parking and service areas should be located, designed and screened to moderate the visual impact of large
paved areas;
(C) The height and scale of each building should be considered in relation to its site.
A. Transition consists of maintaining most existing grades. The site contains essentially
two benches of land, each of which are nearly level, but are separated by a 10 foot
difference in elevation. The northerly bench, fronting on 32nd Street, contains all the
buildings. The southerly bench contains the playfields and playgrounds. Transition
between the two is proposed to be at a maximum 4:1 slope, and can be reached by either
an asphalt fire access road or by a set of stepped walkways.
B. Most parking will be moved to the north side of the buildings, moderating their visual
impact as seen from the street. The new parking area will have an 8' wide landscaped
area located along the north property line. This will be planted with Japanese pines,
shore pines, and red cedars to screen and buffer views from adjoining private residences.
Along 32nd Avenue a bus turnaround and 12 stalls will be located behind a wide (25')
planter area. The planter will contain seven scarlet oaks to provide modest screening,
but to still allow views of the Cascades.
C. New structures are located a minimum of 70 feet from the nearest property line.
This is at least 40 feet more than required by zoning. The large U- shaped Building "E"
will be set at an elevation approximately 11 feet below the grade at the nearest (West)
property line, thus minimizing its impact on views.
Staff Report to the
BAR and Planning Commission
L94 -0069 & L94 -0071: Cascade View
Page 10
Proposed heights of all structures are within the 30 foot height limit allowed by the
zoning code. This is because the code calculates height from average finished grade to
the mid -point of any sloped roof. The top of the roof of the Gym addition to Building
"B" is shown at 31' -8," and the top of the roof to the Music/Library complex of Building .
"E" is shown at 23' -6." Midpoints for the roofs to these two buildings are thus under the
30 -foot height limit.
2. Relationship of Structure and Site to Adjoining Area.
(A) Harmony in texture, lines and masses is encouraged.
(B) Appropriate landscape transition to adjoining properties should be provided;
(C) Public buildings and structures should be consistent with the established neighborhood character,
(D) Compatibility of vehicular and pedestrian circulation patterns and loading facilities in terms of safety,
efficiency and convenience should be encouraged;
(E) Compatibility of on site vehicular circulation with street circulation should be encouraged.
A. All existing and proposed buildings will have new roofs installed at a 4/12 slope,
giving a consistent silhouette to the complex. Roofing materials may be either asphalt
composition or metal. If asphalt shingles are used, an all-black roof will be used for the
Gym and the Resource Center. All other roofs will be a reddish brown interspersed with
individual black shingles. The design also uses a common fascia with a common color to
help unify the appearance of the buildings. Stucco is proposed for the exterior walls of
all new buildings, while existing structures will retain their block veneer. Facades to the
new structures are not intended to express their stucco joints as score -marks for visual
interest and unity. The resulting smooth wall texture will be in contrast to the existing
rough appearance given by the block masonry veneer of the existing set of four
structures. Columns at the bus -load walkway and at other entrances to the facility will
have a dark red brick cladding above a grey concrete base. In contrast, all other
columns, such as those found in the interior courtyard, are intended to have a smooth
stucco appearance, and will be painted in colors to harmonize with adjacent facades.
B. The proposed landscape transition will change from what is presently on the site.
Most grades remain essentially the same, but prominent trees and vegetation will be
dramatically different. Of the 41 mature trees on site, only six will be retained. The
most obvious impact will be on views from private residences to the west of the site, not
from the public right of way along 32nd Avenue. The planting plan (attachment G)
proposes a line of tulip trees and two clusters of oaks as substitutes in the areas between
the buildings and the west property line. To the north, the design shows a line of
Japanese pines, red cedars, shore pines and shrubs along the north perimeter of the site.
To the south, between the 20 foot asphalt fire lane and an existing residence, there will a
line of shore pines and red cedars as a screen. Plantings are not proposed along the
west or south property lines, which currently have grass and cyclone fencing.
C. Established neighborhood character reflects a quality of styles found in any older

BAR and Planning Commission

Page 11
single- family detached residential area: pitched roofs, clapboard siding, occasional two
story structures, a variety of gardens and front yards. Cascade View School's design,
being single -story, containing somewhat sloped roofs, has some of these. features. Given
its use as a public facility, however, the size and scale of the complex are necessarily
larger than abutting residences.
D, E. The site plan creates compatible patterns of vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
Overall, the concept is to keep most pedestrian movements either in the courtyard or to
the south, where the play areas are located. Most vehicular movements will be contained
within the north parking lot, including service vehicles for the cafeteria. This traffic will
use two new driveways located approximately 170 feet apart. One is principally for bus
drop -offs; the other is principally for service, staff and car use.
The new bus drop -off area will have a covered walkway to protect pedestrians from rain.
This walkway will lead through gates into a new central courtyard, which in turn provides
the major pedestrian access to all buildings on the campus. All other entrances to this
courtyard will have gates for security. New sidewalks along the street will have striping at
the site's driveways. Similar striping will cross 32nd Avenue at the intersection with 136th
Street. A third driveway into the site will be located along the south side of Building "A."
It provides necessary emergency access, and it serves both the turf playfields and the
asphalt play ground.
3. Landscape and Site Treatment.
(A) Were existing topographic patterns contribute to beauty and utility of a development, they should be
recognized, preserved and enhanced;
(B) Grades of walks, parking spaces, terraces and other paved areas should promote safety and provide an
inviting and stable appearance;
(C) Landscape treatment should enhance architectural features, strengthen vistas and important axes, and
provide shade.
(D) In locations where plants will be susceptible to injury by pedestrian or motor tragic, mitigating steps should
be taken;
(E) Where building sites limit planting, the placement of trees or shrubs in paved areas is encouraged;
(F) Screening of service yards and other places which tend to be unsightly should be accomplished by the use of
walls, fencing, planting or combinations of these. Screening should be effective in winter and summer;
(G) In areas where general planting will not prosper, other materials such as fences, walls, and pavings of wood,
brick, stone or gravel may be used;
(H) Exterior lighting, when used, should enhance the building design and the adjoining landscape. Lighting
standards and fixtures should be of re design and size compatible with the building and adjacent area. Lighting
should be shielded, and restrained in design. Excessive brightness and brilliant colors should be avoided.
A. The site's topography is proposed to remain essentially the same. Where grading
occurs, it will be at a maximum 4:1 slope. See comments in section 4 of the Background
section. A line of tulip trees will be located at the top of the southerly and westerly
embankments, in order to provide shade for Buildings "A," "C," and "E."
Staff Report to the
BAR and Planning Commission Page 12
B. Grades of walkways are proposed to remain essentially the same around the present
buildings. However, there will be a three -foot transition between existing structures ( "A,
B, C, and D ") and the new addition. The transition will be achieved by a set of ramps on
both sides of the U- shaped courtyard. The courtyard itself will contain a meandering -•
"stream" of rocks that climb up this gentle grade. Shrubs, trees and some groundcover
are proposed for this courtyard area, and are intended to make the "stream - scape" an •'• •
inviting feature. Outside the complex of buildings, a handicap - accessible ramp will cross
the 10 foot slope between the buildings and the outdoor play areas.
L94 -0069 & L94 -0071: Cascade View
C. Enhancements include creation of the above - mentioned linear "stream - scaped"
courtyard. This visual axis extends approximately 280 feet through the center of the
complex, visually connecting the entry walkway to the most western component of the
new complex. Significant vistas of the Cascades exist, especially in the winter, when
deciduous trees drop their leaves. These views are principally available from the covered
walkway at the bus loading area.
D. The "stream- scaped" courtyard displays a curving pattern of concrete and rocks:
clusters, pavers, benches. This design feature should prevent injury to plants, leaving
root areas relatively protected from pedestrian traffic. Elsewhere, adjacent to the
exterior of the buildings, trees and shrubs are generally bounded by concrete walks and
curbs. At the northeast corner of Building "B," one of two proposed oak trees will be
protected by benches. The other is not protected even though both are located within
the sidewalk at a high traffic area.
Most other trees are relatively removed from an active traffic zone. The proposed row
of tulip trees on the south side of the school will be located on the embankment between
the play areas and the school buildings. West of the new building "E," the Planting Plan
• (Attachment G) shows other tulip trees located uphill and above the retaining wall for
the tot play area. The only mention of an irrigation system for the project is for a quick
coupling hose bibb system for the shrub /ground cover planting areas. Grass areas will be
unirrigated. There is no discussion of the use of drought - tolerant plants for the planting
plan.
• E. The turnaround for the parking lot will contain a central planting area. This will be
marked by a cluster of six Japanese black pines, set in a bed of Kinnikinnick, and flanked
by cotoneaster and strawberry bushes. .
F. The site plan (attachment I) shows a screened dumpster area between the new
addition of Building "B" and existing building "D." Details are shown in attachment K.
G. See 3D above.
Staff Report to the
BAR and Planning Commission
L94 -0069 & L94 -0071: Cascade View
Page 13
H. The applicant has provided details on two types of proposed exterior lighting for the
area. These are shown in attachment K. Walkways will have Kim "SAR" fixtures.
Parking areas will have 30 foot high Kim "AR" fixtures. No lights are proposed for the
south side of the complex. In the parking areas, two pairs of lights will be located at the
bus drop -off zone, while six individual lights are proposed along the north property line.
The Kim AR and SAR fixtures are designed to be used together. They have the same
general profile, and their lamp housings are shielded, in order to minimize glare from the
bulbs. Optics for these cut -offs will be adjusted when the fixtures are installed, to ensure
the light is distributed properly, and away from adjoining property. The applicant
indicates that the front entry arcade along with the other entry areas will be downlit to
create a welcoming pool of light for nighttime users.
4. Building Design.
(A) Architectural style is not restricted; evaluation of a project should be based on quality of its design and
relationship to surroundings;
(B) Buildings should be to appropriate scale and be in harmony with permanent neighboring developments;
(C) Building components, such as windows, doors, eaves, and parapets, should have good proportions and
relationship to one another. Building components and ancillary parts shall be consistent with anticipated life of
the structure;
(D) Colors should be harmonious, with bright or brilliant colors used only for accent;
(E) Mechanical equipment or other utility hardware on roof, ground or buildings should be screened from view;
(F) Exterior lighting should be part of the architectural concept. Fixtures, standards and all exposed accessories
should be harmonious with building design;
(G) Monotony of design in single or multiple building projects should be avoided. Variety of detail, form and
siting should be used to provide visual interest.
A, B. The scale of these structures is achieved by a combination of similar- sloped roofs,
single -story character, and frequent variations to the walls. Harmony is further achieved
by set -backs of over 70 feet from the nearest residence. With the exception of the
common treatment of the fascia and roofs, colors and materials vary between the five
structures. See comments in 2A, above. The applicant identifies the resulting style as
"northwest modern."
C. The applicant indicates the facility is designed for a 50 -year life. (Attachment A, p. 3,
item 4C). Components include common window materials, common door details, and
common exterior light fixtures. See attachment K. Columns to walkways, however, will
be treated differently. .See Comment in 2A above.
D. Proposed colors are identified in attachment L. The applicant has a detailed
description of the exterior color palette in Attachment A page 3. The challenge is to
work with the extensive amount of pinkish -gray brick veneer which forms the walls of all
four existing structures. Taupe color was chosen here to blend with the existing brick.
Three new buildings (Music Room, Resource Center and Gym) will be given special
colors to emphasize their prominence as gathering spots. One will have gray- green,
Staff Report to the
BAR and Planning Commission Page 14
another will have a soft gold color, while the Gym will have a terra -cotta color; all will
share the same dark green trim. Accents will be in the white windows and in the deep
red fascia. Greatest contrast will occur between the white of window trim and the
generally dark colors selected for the walls. The applicant has identified only the colors 7L-
if composition shingles are used; colors for the metal roof alternative are not addressed.
Roofs will express a similar concept as expressed in the facades. The three primary
places (eg., gym, resource center) will have black composition shingles, while the others
will have a dark brown appearance with mottled black accents.
L94 -0069 & L94 -0071: Cascade View
E. Mechanical equipment will be contained within the roofs of most buildings. There
will be some roof -top mounted HVAC units, although drawings do not show location of
this mechanical equipment. Details for their screening are shown in Attachment K.
F. Harmony in fixture design is intended by using a common set of lighting designs, and
a common set of bench/ trash receptacle designs. See comment to 3 H, above.
G. This complex of buildings is varied in bulk, in height, and in wall materials. Common
colors and roof slopes are proposed as a unifying element. Contrasting colors are used
selectively to identify structures of importance (music room, resource center and gym.)
Staff's Response
5. Miscellaneous Structures & Street Furniture
(A) Miscellaneous structures and street furniture should be designed to be part of the architectural concept of
design and landscape. Materials should be compatible wish buildings, scale should be appropriate, colors should
be in harmony with buildings and surroundings, and proportions should be to scale.
(B) Lighting in connection with miscellaneous structures and street furniture should meet the guidelines
applicable to site, landscape and buildings.
A. Exterior signs are not being requested for this project at this time. The covered play
area is shown as a separate feature in the applicant's submittal, and uses same 4/12 roof
slopes and asphalt composition materials in the nearby buildings. Other common details
are shown in attachment K, and relate to benches, receptacles, bike racks, and so on. A
picnic structure may be needed by the City in the future to serve users of the playfields
in off- school hours.
B. Lighting design is shown in attachment K.
Staff Report to the
BAR and Planning Commission Page 15

CONCLUSIONS
The conclusions are grouped under the five principal design review guidelines.
1. Relationship of Structure to Site. The proposed additions to these buildings provides
a positive improvement to the relationship of the structure(s) to the site. The removal of
portable structures and the addition of common- pitched roofs contribute to a coherent
and tidy appearance.
2. Relationship of Structure and Site to Adjoining Area. Proposed improvements are
generally modest in appearance from the public street. New driveways, new landscaping
and a new covered walkways are complemented by the addition of the gym to building
"B" The gym itself is well located, making it easily accessible for the neighborhood. The
major new structure, Building "E," is tucked into the west end of the site, well away from
most views.
3. Landscaping and Site Treatment. Considering the vast amount of mature trees being
removed as part of this project, the proposed landscape design is modest one. Given the
intensive use of this facility, live landscaping has been restricted to relatively protected
areas, such as the planters along the north sides of Buildings "D" and "E ". Lastly, the
design for nighttime lighting needs to be detailed for the exterior areas that are on the
south side of the building complex.
4. Building Design. The proposal relies on common roof slopes and common roof
materials. It also relies on common color themes, although the metal roof alternative is
not detailed. Colors for facades are vigorous and contrasting. Proposed window
treatment is consistent, but walkway column treatment is not. Gutters and downspouts
are addressed. The covered play area expresses common features with the buildings.
5. Miscellaneous Structures. The proposed structure over the play area matches the
character of the buildings. Lighting fixtures remain consistent throughout the site, as do
proposed benches, trash receptacles, and screening of roof -top mechanical equipment.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The Department of Community Development recommends approval of the proposed
project subject to the following conditions:
Prior to the issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall submit for review and
approval of the Community Development Department the Following:
Staff Report to the
BAR and Planning Commission Page 16
L94 -0069 & L94 -0071: Cascade View
1. A revised landscape plan.
A. To provide an attractive appearance, require the removal and undergrounding of
overhead lines to the building.
B. To assure healthy vegetation, specify an irrigation plan for all new areas of trees
and /or shrubs. Specify installation of an auto - irrigation system and installation of
moisture sensors. Install a second bench to protect the other oak tree near the bus
loading area.
C. To preserve views of the Cascades, specify a tree species -eta for the area adjacent
to the street frontage that drop their leaves in the Fall, rather than retain dead ones until
the Spring.
D. To buffer new structures and parking areas from the westerly neighbors, provide
additional trees and shrubs along the westerly end of the property.
2.Revised building elevations.
A. To ensure a good relationship between building components, use a set of common
details for the columns of exterior walkways, especially a common color and style of
bricks.
B. For consistency in design, submit samples of metal roof materials, using similar
colors as proposed for the composition shingle alternative.
3.Revised site lighting plan.
V�'�r l- fixtures for the parking lot lighting to 250 watts or less, unless there is satisfactory
6,4 provided that the 400 watt fixtures are necessary for public safety. Regardless
of wattage, restrict the distribution of exterior lighting to 0 -5 lumens at the property line.
To ensure compatibility with the surrounding residences, reduce the wattage of
B. For safety and security, provide nighttime illumination of walkways and southern
parking areas.

INTRODUCTION
This report documents the existing and future parking demand for the Cascade View
Elementary School and the Showalter Middle School. South Central School District
proposes to remodel existing facilities, construct additions to the schools, and revise the
parking and circulation. The information found in this report is in response to questions
raised by City of Tukwila staff in reviewing the proposed actions. This report
identifies the existing school facilities, hours of operation, special activities and other
uses of the school. Travel characteristics of the teachers, administrators and students,.
are also identified.
A survey of the parking on the sites was conducted identifying parking supply and
utilization while school was in session. A survey recording the number of cars parked
on the street within 800 feet of the schools was also made when both of the schools
were in session and when the schools were closed for the summer. A parking survey
for an evening event was made at the Showalter Middle School.
Trip increases were projected based on information supplied by the school district.
Pedestrian and bicycle accident information was obtained from the City of Tukwila and
reviewed to determine if increased travel and the proposed improvements would result
in an increase of these types of accidents.
Impacts on existing parking, travel patterns and safety were identified and mitigation
measures recommended.

The upper fields are used five days per week for sports activities (for instance soccer or
baseball), seven months out of the school year from 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm. Some
weekend usage is included for special practices or tournaments.
90 percent of the parking during the day and early evening hours is located in the
parking lot north of the school building. Limited parking is available in front of the
school on 32nd Avenue South. For special all- school events, it was reported that
parking extends throughout the neighborhood, .thus causing increased traffic on
neighboring streets.
Following is a summary of the off- street and on- street parking study taken during June,
1994.

The off - street parking was 83 percent utilized during the day of the survey. Based on a
comparison of school day /non - school day parkers, it appears there is no spill -over
parking from the school onto the surrounding streets during normal school hours.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
It is not anticipated that there will be any increase in students or staff as a result in the
proposed revisions. The proposed program accommodates 400 students and 39 faculty
facility. The project purpose is to solve overcrowded conditions and provide additional
learning opportunities. '
The original Cascade View Elementary School was built as four buildings connected by
covered walkways in 1957. Additions and modernization are planned to meet the
current and projected program needs for 400 students; Kindergarten through Fifth
Grade, plus Preschool. Two four -room portable buildings currently on.site are used as
instructional space and will be removed. Their uses will be incorporated into the new
school building.
The 29,589 square feet existing school will be modernized, and the covered walkways
replaced. The existing structure will receive seismic upgrades, new insulation, window
and door replacements, and a new pitched roof. All spaces will receive new
mechanical and electrical systems, new finishes and new equipment.
Additions of 26,282 square feet are also planned for a total of 55,871 square feet.
Most of the new construction will be located on the west side of the existing school,
consisting of new Library, Preschool, Kindergarten and First Grade classrooms, and
Music Room. A new Gymnasium will be built on the northeast corner adjacent to the
existing Multi - purpose Room. The classroom addition has been configured with the
existing buildings to enclose a large central outdoor courtyard, meant to focus the
whole school toward a new "heart", and create a clear organization of the whole
facility.
Sitework includes a reconfiguration of the existing driveway, additional driveways and
parking, new fire lane, utility upgrades, storm drainage, landscaping and irrigation,
and new playgrounds. The current small parking lot will be revised. The bus and car
driveways will be separated in order to restore safety into the traffic flow.' Busses will
travel a new one way loop at the present main entry to the school. The new car
driveway will weave along the north side of the site to a turn- around near the new
Library, thus defining a second entrance to the school. A new playground and play
equipment area is planned for the middle of the site, and may include a covered play
structure. The playground and portion of the grass athletic fields will be regraded and
will utilize the excavated soil from the new building. See proposed site plan, Figure 4.
South Central School District 3 Perteet Engineering, Inc.
PROJECT IMPACTS
It is not anticipated that the proposed modernization and additions will result in . any
increase in traffic. The student and staff levels are to remain the same as present
operations. Based on our parking study, the existing parking supply was 83 percent
utilized during the normal school hours. The following table shows existing and
proposed parking compared to City of Tukwila code requirements:
Cascade Elementary School
Existing Parking Proposed Parking Code Requirement Code Requirements
Schools Public Assembly
47 57 0 59 80
The proposed parking should be adequate during the normal school hours. It is .
expected that after school events, parking will spillover into the adjacent neighborhood.
MITIGATION
Frontage improvements as planned should be implemented to provide additional on
street parking spaces. Concurrent school events such as musicals and sports should not
occur together to minimize spillover parking. The school should encourage parents to
carpool with other parents to reduce the volumes of vehicles at school events.
SHOWALTER MIDDLE SCHOOL
EXISTING FACILITIES
Showalter Middle School is located at 4628 South 144th Street Tukwila, Washington
(see Figure 5).

Showalter Middle School presently consists of four buildings connected by covered
walkways. Additions and modernization are planned to create more usable spaces to
meet the current and projected program needs for 720 students. Portable buildings
currently on site house daycare and special services support space and will be removed
or relocated.
Using the same travel characteristics, the following table summarizes the increase in
daily trips:

Demolition of 7223 square feet in the commons area will make way for an addition of
12,408 square feet of new construction on two floors for a total square footage of
90,864. The added space consists primarily of science labs, an art lab on the second
floor and a learning resource center on the first floor. New construction will also
include covered walkways and covered play shed.
All the existing buildings, (85,679 SF) will be modernized to different extents. In
Building A, a 1938 and 1945 classroom building, the entire interior will be demolished
leaving floor and roof structure only, and requiring complete new walls, mechanical
and electrical systems, finishes and equipment. Minimal alterations are proposed for
Building B, the music, technology, and home economics building built in 1969. Work
there entails some new partitions and some new floor and wall finishes.
Reconfiguration of the main gymnasium, Building C, and the locker rooms and
bathrooms in the auxiliary gym, Building D (both built in 1963) require new partitions,
plumbing, and. finishes.
Planned sitework involves reconfiguration of the existing driveways, parking and fire
lane, utility upgrades, and landscaping and irrigation. Bus and car driveways will be
revised to focus traffic toward the two main entrances to the building. Cars will be
routed in a new driveway from the street to the planned formal entry, which will be
restored to the historic main entrance of the old building. The current bus loading area
will be abandoned for lawn and landscaping, and the bus drive will be relocated to the
west side of the school, connecting bus loading with the new west plaza and new back
or student entrance, to the building (see Figure 6).

The proposed modernization and additions will result in a small increase in traffic
which is not expected to be significant. Based on our parking study, the existing
parking supply was 65 percent utilized during the normal school hours. 'The proposed
parking should be adequate during the normal school hours. It is expected that events
taking place after school may result in parking spilling over into the adjacent
neighborhood.
MITIGATION
Events should be scheduled so as not to occur concurrently. This will reduce the
amount of spillover traffic and parking on adjacent neighborhood streets. Programs to
encourage parents to carpool together with other families should also be implemented
to reduce the number of vehicles at after school functions. Opportunities to use
parking facilities at the high school or nearby lots should be arranged and
recommended.
ACCIDENTS
Pedestrian and bicycle accident information for the South Central School District was
obtained from the City of Tukwila. There were 27 pedestrian/bicycle accidents for the
time period from January 1, 1991 through June 20, 1994 (approximately 3 -1/2 years).
See Figure 7. Most of the accidents occurred along Pacific Highway South. It has
been recommended that the school district work with the City and the State to
encourage pedestrian and bicycle improvements along streets serving the schools.
