The proposed sign is approved. 2. The proposed bollard design is approved, however an additional two bollards are required to be evenly spaced along the east facade of Building A, north of the main entry, as generally shown on Attachment B -1. The staff proposed bollard on the east driveway area is not required. The building permit shall be revised to incorporate these decisions as soon as possible, to avoid unnecessary confusion. This decision will become final after November 6, 1995, unless appealed per TMC 18.90.020. Please call me at 431 -3684 if you have any questions.

The project was initially reviewed by the Board of Architectural Review (BAR) on November 17, 1994, and approved on December 15, 1994. Board of Architectural Review (BAR) approval for the sign and bollards was specifically deferred, pending finalization of designs. The final sign and bollard design is now presented for BAR review and approval. DECISION CRITERIA BAR review of the overall project design was required as part of the conditional use permit process. This approval was given except for approval of the primary entry sign and bollards. Consistency of sign and bollard design quality and their interaction with the overall project are the sole issues before the Board at this time. Board review criteria are shown below in bold, along with a staff discussion of relevant facts. 18.60.050: General Review Criteria. (1) Relationship of Structure to Site. (2) Relationship of Structure and Site to Adjoining Area. (3) Landscaping and Site Treatment (4) Building Design (5) Miscellaneous Structures and Street Furniture Sign and bollard designs are shown in Attachments Al - El. The sign is paired with a bollard and located to the west of the primary entry on S. 144th Street. A line of 5 additional bollards continues down the driveway and north half of the building to the central entry. Sign and bollard design details are presented below. The proposed concrete monument sign is 12 ft. long at its top, by 4 ft. high. Lettering will be recessed in a central panel and have a deep blue color. The sign would be painted a tan color on its perimeter and a beige on the lettering panel. Staff Report to the L94 -0074: Showalter Page 3 Board of Architectural Review The bollards are 4- sided, concrete pylons, which are 7.5 feet high and topped with a 1.5 ft. high, decorative metal fixture and lighted globe. The bollards are painted the same deep blue as the sign lettering, building accent striping and many doors. Two bollards are also sited at the central plaza. CONCLUSIONS 1. Sign. The proposed sign and bollard combination provides a high quality architectural element which is well integrated with the overall project design. Integration is enhanced by repeated building colors and the physically extended bollard line into the site. 2. Bollards. The proposed bollards are well proportioned and integrated with project design, but should be increased by three, as discussed below. The line of bollards seem to be artificially stopped at the building's entry. High quality integration of the bollards with the site and architectural design would be demonstrated by continuing the existing rhythm of bollards across the building face. This would mean adding two more bollards. The additional bollards would also "...promote safety and provide an inviting and stable appearance" (Criteria 3(B)) by increasing immediate area light, helping to guide users of "event parking spaces" to the primary entry and providing elements of pedestrian scale design quality. A final additional bollard across the driveway from the sign bollard, would create a clear, high quality gateway entry to guide users, sensitize the user to the bollard design and increase the impact of all bollards. RECOMMENDATIONS The Planning Division recommends approval of the proposed signage and bollards subject to the addition of two bollards on the north half of the main entry building, and one at the driveway entrance, opposite the sign's bollard.

Rants, Mayor Department of Community Development Rick Beeler, Dire 'ctor December 8, 1994 MEMORANDUM TO: BOARD OF ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW FROM: LIBBY HUDSON, ASSOCIATE PLANNER RE: SHOWALTER MIDDLE SCHOOL DESIGN REVIEW, #L94 -0074 Background The Board of Architectural Review held a public hearing on November 17, 1994, for the proposed remodel of Showalter Middle School. The design review . request was approved with conditions. Public Hearing Minutes A review of the minutes for the November 17, 1994, hearing for Showalter Middle School Design Review indicates that the motion to approve the application did not include Condition 1. B. of the staff report. [1. A revised set of elevations. B: To'achieve consistency,: use window and door details. such: as circles:'and rectangles' that reflectthe 1930'sstyle :.] In reviewing the discussion prior to the motion, I believe it was the intention of the Board to include the condition as part of the final approval for the proposal, and that the condition was inadvertently left out. Please clarify this matter when approving the minutes for the November 17, 1994 public hearing. Design Review Approval As part of the Design Review approval for the proposed remodel of Showalter Middle School the Board requested two conditions be met and brought back before the Board for review and approval. 1. A revised landscape plan. (formerly condition 4. A. & C. in the staff report) A. To enhance architectural features of the east facade of Building "A," install maples or other tall trees in a pattern that lines up with either the bays of the windows or with the columns between the windows. B. To moderate the visual impact of large paved areas, include perimeter landscaping of trees and shrubs between the eastern parking lot and the property line. This should extend from the north edge of the relocated portable approximately 260 feet to the point where the parking aisles turn and head northwest. 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • (206) 431-3670 • Fax (206) 431-3665 Staff Review The applicant submitted a revised landscape plan which shows additional trees included along the east facade of Building A and the addison of landscaping along the east property line where the parking abuts the residential property. The applicant also submitted a revised color board, showing the west and east elevation of Building A. The additional trees will enhance the east facade of the building. The tree species will be adequate to provide needed green, leafy vegetation along this lengthy facade. The only recommendation that I would suggest is to change the .tree species from maple to the same flowering cherry tree used along the walkways and front vehicular entrance of the school site. Planting Yoshino Flowing Cherries along this facade would add continuity to the landscape design and seasonal interest to the east facade. The proposed landscaping along the east property line, appears adequate to buffer the neighboring residential properties from the automobiles which will be parking near the property. Tall shrubs (from 6 -8 feet in height) are used with smaller shrubs to create a multi -level vegetative screen for this narrow landscape strip. Three evergreen trees have also been added near the portable building located on the south. 2. A revised set of color board(s) (formerly condition 1. A.) Provide revised colors that are consistently contrasting and bold for all facades, including those of the storage trailer and the work garage. Staff Review • The revised color scheme is a great improvement from the previous proposal. A lighter cream tone is use for the overall building facade. Vertical element between the bays of windows are accented in a tan color. Contrasting lines in medium -blue and reddish - brown are used to accent the horizontal elements of the building. The medium -blue is used for the main entry doors, while a lighter shade is used for the columns of the pedestrian arcade (located off the interior courtyard shown in the west facade), tying blue colors into the overall color scheme. Other doors are treated with a reddish -tan color. The same tan color is used for the new cafeteria (shown on the west elevation). with reddish -tan used for the window trim. A red - burgundy color is used for the two canopies of the main building entrances. These newly proposed colors enhance the remodeled school by accentuating the architectural elements of the existing building and tying the new additions to the 1930's architecture, creating a contrasting, distinctive connection. Colors for the storage trailer and work garage were not noted in the information provided by the applicant.

South Central School District proposes to remodel existing facilities, construct additions to the schools, and revise the parking and circulation. The information found m 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. CASCADE VIEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL EXISTING FACILITIES Cascade View Elementary School is located at 13601 32nd Avenue South, Tukwila Washington (see Figure 1). Listed below are pertinent characteristics regarding Cascade View Elementary School. 1) Hours of Operation: 9:00 a.m. - 3:10 p.m. 9:00 a.m. - 11:40 a.m. Kindergarten 12:30 p.m. - 3:10 p.m. Kindergarten 2) Student enrollment as of June 1994: 394 3) A total of 36 staff members currently work at Cascade View. There are approximately 10 itinerant staff that share their services with other schools who are not on -site on a daily basis. South Central School District 1 Perteet Engineering, Inc. 4) Approximately 150 students bussed everyday Average 60 students dropped off daily Average 180 students walk Faculty drive their own vehicles Figure 2 shows the School District boundary and Figure 3 shows the walking area for Cascade View students. Cascade View averages three to four nights per week usage of the gym from 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm with groups no larger than 15 -20. 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.

South Central School District 2 Perteet Engineering, Inc. 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 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). 1) Hours of operation 7:30 am - 2:30 pm 2) Student enrollment as of June 1994: 540 3) A total of 38 staff members currently work at Showalter Middle School, and 12 administrators for the district. 4) Approximately 150 students are bussed everyday Average 75 students dropped off daily Average 315 students walk Faculty drive their own vehicles South Central School District 4 Perteet Engineering, Inc. The School District boundary is the same as shown in Figure 2. Showalter Middle School offers after school sports five days a week from 2:30 to 4:15 pm; 45 to 50 students are usually in attendance. Parking is located on the east side of the school. Most of the parking during the day is located in the lot. Parking is prohibited on most of the adjacent streets. Following is a summary of our off /onstreet study and evening inventory, taken during.., June, 1994. The evening event was a dance for the eighth grade class.

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.

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).

Showalter Middle School Existing Parking Proposed Parking Code Requirements. Code Requirements: School Public Assembly 84 115 71 230 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.

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.

Representing the staff were Jack Pace, Libby Hudson and Sylvia Schnug. Approval of 10 -27 -94 work session minutes Mr. Flesher: On page 11, the comment I made needs to be changed from "We are ready to sign off' to "I am ready to sign off'. Mr. Neiss: On page 6 I made a response to a comment that Mr. Beeler had made. At the meeting, Mr. Beeler had referenced that at the Comp Plan meeting on November 19th, there would be an analysis of the urban center. In his statement he made a comment that it would be a pro -con format, and that is what I responded to. The minutes do not reflect Mr. Beeler making those statements. Initially he said it was a pro - con format, but then he came back and said it was not. MR. MALINA MOVED TO APPROVE THE 10 -27 -94 WORK SESSION MINUTES AS AMENDED. MR. NEISS SECONDED THE MOTION AND THE MOTION WAS UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED. L94 -0069 Cascade View Planning Commission Conditional Use Permit: Mr. Haggerton: Case number L94 -0069 is a Planning Commission public hearing for a conditional use. Case number L94 -0071 is a Board of Architectural Review design review hearing. Mr. Meryhew: I have been involved with the school district as a part of the Facilities Advisory Committee that looked at Cascade View and Showalter. I made a recommendation, along with the rest of the committee, to go ahead with the remodeling of these two schools and I was a part of the architect selection team providing input to the school board. I also had some input in the design as one of the Facilities Committee members. I believe that I can still be objective during this Planning Commission hearing, but if anyone objects I would be willing to excuse myself from the hearing. Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 November 17, 1994 Mr. Haggerton:' matter. I don't think that you should voice your opinion or vote on the Mr. Malina: I think that if you want to address us with some of the background or pros -or -cons you should have that option. Mr. Meryhew: I feel that if I'm not allowed to vote, I shouldn't be making input either. MR. HAGGERTON MOVED THAT VERN MERYHEW BE EXCUSED FROM PARTICIPATING IN THE HEARINGS BEFORE THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND BOARD OF ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW ON CASCADE VIEW AND SHOWALTER DUE TO HIS INVOLVEMENT IN THE EARLY STAGES OF ARCHITECT SELECTION AND INPUT REGARDING THE DESIGN AND /OR DEVELOPMENT OF THE REMODELING OF THE SCHOOLS. MS. STETSON SECONDED THE MOTION AND THE MOTION WAS UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED. Libby Hudson gave the Staff report for Cascade View conditional use and design review. A SEPA determination was issued on this in September by the school district. The proposal tonight deals with an existing elementary school located in Tukwila off 32nd Avenue. The proposal is to expand and double the size of the elementary school to a total square footage of 55,564 sq. ft. The expansion is intended to serve the same number of students but to allow more room and to update the spaces. Parking will also be increased from 47 to 100 spaces. In addition, the proposal covers additional landscaping for the nine acre site and new playground areas. The site is surrounded by single family zoning and uses. The public review for this project goes through a conditional use permit because it is a conditional use within the single family zoning district, and design review due to the square footage of the addition. Regarding the conditional use five criteria: Criteria #1: The appearance of the building will not be changed dramatically in scale. Security will be increased by enclosing an interior courtyard with gates on the areas accessed by pedestrians between the existing and proposed buildings. Mr. Malina: How high is the gate? Ms. Hudson: We have not received a detail on the gates. The perimeter fencing is six feet. Criteria #2: The proposal meets and exceeds the performance standards for this zoning district. Current number of staff is 34 and future expectation is 39, that requires Planning Commission Minutes November 17, 1994 Page 3 59 parking spaces by the zoning code. (Showed parking areas on site plan.) In addition, the zoning code requires events parking which is generally after school hours. That requirement is an additional 24 spaces. (Additional parking shown on site plan.) Mr. Malina: Is there on- street parking available? Ms. Hudson: The school district will be installing a sidewalk from the corner to 137th street. We can't count that as part of our required parking through the zoning code. Mr. Flesher: How will people know to park back on the playground area? Mr. Malina: Currently there is no signage and none is proposed at this time. Ms. Hudson: There will need to be signs during events that direct people to this other area. Mr. Flesher: What about turf parking? Ms. Hudson: The zoning code does not permit parking which is not on a paved surface. The applicant is proposing parking on the grass area sports field, but that would not be needed in the parking calculations. Mr. Flesher: I wouldn't want to approve on -turf parking because it would ruin the surface. You are saying that there will be an overflow of parking that will impact the neighborhood. If that's a mitigation, then that turf parking needs to be paved. Ms. Hudson: Landscaping is proposed to buffer the residential properties to the north. (Landscaping shown on site plan.) In conclusion, the staff recommends that the conditional use permit be approved with one condition. Gary Goltz - Heary International - representing school district: We would prefer to not pave the grass area. There are two reasons: by increasing the impervious surface we get more run -off, and two, we would like to keep as large of play field as possible. The cost is also an issue. We would be willing to pave the area if there is a need demonstrated as staff has recommended. We support the condition that is being proposed. Mr. Haggerton: How often are there special events on the soccer field? Mr. Goltz: The field is used quite a bit during the summer by the community and parks department. We are currently in contact with the Parks and Recreation Planning Commission Minutes Page 4 November 17, 1994 Department to jointly do some improvement to the field. Nancy Kaynor, Bassetti Architects - project manager The fields will be used not only for special events, but also by the city park and recreation department for soccer games. The parking that is generated for those events is not great. The regular proposed parking spaces will accommodate that need. There is a three -foot grade change in the grass area where we are showing overflow parking. Ms. Stetson: Wouldn't that special event parking generally consist of the annual winter concert and large PTA meetings? Will they be directing people to park on the asphalt basketball area during special events? Mr. Goltz: The whole play area is asphalt except for the two pilings in the center. Mr. Malina: There seems to be an indecision about adequate signage. Drop -off spaces are also going to be used for special event parking. There needs to be signage to let the general public know that after hours parking is available. Ms. Kaynor: We will be striping that parking area so it looks like parking spaces. The signage and redirection of traffic needs to occur during school hours when those two areas are being used for drop -off. Mr. Malina: I would like to see signage in the bus area and also on the street so that during an event there is no parking within the residential neighborhood. This needs to be done from the beginning so bad relations don't occur with the neighbors. Mr. Haggerton: There is a handwritten change on this application stating that the address of the school is 13535. All the other information says 13601. Ms. Kaynor: The correct address is 1360132 Ave. S., Tukwila. Mr. Goltz: I question the usage of the street for street parking. I think only 6 houses actually face the school along the street. If were being asked to make street improvements and put in sidewalks, why wouldn't we as residents of the community be able to park on the street? Mr. Malina: I was referring to the special events. Ms. Stetson: How would you use signs to show that parking was restricted for only special events? Planning Commission Minutes Page 5 November 17, 1994 Mr. Malina: During a special event at other schools such as Thorndike, there were the portable fold -up signs and people directing traffic. Ms. Stetson: I don't have a problem with overflow parking occurring on the street. Mr. Goltz: In the past we have had complaints about people parking but it wasn't the school district parking, it was for a soccer game during the weekend. Kirsten Whisler - Director of Business and Support Services, School District I have been there for four years managing the facilities. I have not had one parking complaint from Cascade View in all that time. The complaints I have gotten in the community have been for vandalism. We only have two or three special events a year and unfortunately we don't usually fill up our parking spaces. I don't think street parking would be disruptive to the community because the events only last for approximately an hour - and -a -half and are over by 8:30. Ms. Hudson: The final revised site plan will ensure that field parking is not included because it does not meet code requirements. Mr. Haggerton closed the conditional use permit public hearing at 7:40 p.m. Ms. Stetson: I think this is a long overdue improvement for Cascade View and I am impressed with the proposed changes. The parking seems adequate the way it is laid out, I wouldn't like to see further restrictions placed upon it. I think it could be handled without a formal policy from the Planning Commission. Mr. Malina: When you start reading the background information, the basis for this remodel is because of an additional 400 students, which means 800 more parents. Ms. Hudson: That number of 400 is the total enrollment, not 400 new students. Mr. Malina: I think we need to have a determination of the height of the gate and fence from staff or make one ourselves. I also have a concern about the 32 overflow parking spots on the grass field, it needs to be paved. Mr. Haggerton: The staff report says that if there is a demonstrated consistent after hours parking demand which exceeds the 80 stall capacity for the school, it shall be reviewed at a public hearing before the Planning Commission. I think that covers it. Mr. Malina: I would like a determination on the height of the gate because it is a criteria for the conditional use. Planning Commission Minutes Page 6 November 17, 1994 Mr. Haggerton re- opened the public hearing at 7:45pm Mr. Goltz: The opening for the two gates has a clearance of ten feet, and the gates are eight feet high. Mr. Haggerton closed the public hearing at 7:46p.m. MS. STETSON MOVED TO APPROVE L94- 0069 - CASCADE VIEW CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, BASED ON STAFF'S FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS AND. WITH ONE CONDITION: 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. MR. NEISS SECONDED THE MOTION AND THE MOTION WAS UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED. L94 -0071 Cascade View BAR Design Review Libby Hudson provided the staff report. The criteria for design review deals with five specific criteria. (Pointed out parts of school on site plan.) The interior courtyard has a stream with boulders, rocks, and landscaping with seating areas. The new building will house class rooms, music room, and library. Landscaping along perimeter will have a mix of deciduous and evergreen trees, shrubs and ground cover. Some existing madrona trees will be removed because they are diseased. There are sidewalks along all the parking and drop -off areas and into the courtyard. Existing adjoining properties are residential and are currently screened with large madrona trees. The height of the structure will maintain the 30 foot height limitation of a single family zoning district. There will be brick columns located at the entry court by the office but the interior columns do not repeat the brick face design. Our recommendation is that the brick columns be continued in the interior. The relationship of the structure to the site and the streetscape is improved with this proposal. We propose that additional landscaping be added to buffer the adjoining residential properties. The building design fits well with the architectural character of the neighborhood with sloped roofs throughout. Staff recommends approval with three conditions. We would like to alter condition 1B Planning Commission Minutes Page 7 November 17, 1994 as stated in the staff report. We have had further discussions with the applicant and they plan to do an irrigation system that is not automatic which will meet our specifications. Mr. Malina: Where does the stream come from and end up? Ms. Hudson: It is a stream scape for the courtyard, it is not actual water. It is a dry stream bed made with textured materials. Mr. Haggerton: Has the city been part of the approval process for this landscaping? Ms. Hudson: certain areas. We have approved and have recommended increased landscaping in Mr. Flesher: How many of the 35 trees to be taken out will be put back in? Ms. Hudson: We feel that the landscaping should be increased. The tree ordinance does not actually apply to this project. Mr. Flesher: But we don't know if the transitional buffering that has been there is to be retained. They have not given us numbers at this time. Ms. Hudson: Staff didn't recommend numbers, we recommended a revised landscape plan which included increased landscaping. Mr. Flesher: In the report it talks about an alternative roofing. Has that type of roofing been decided upon? Ms. Hudson: The sample that we received was for composition. The alternative is for a metal roof. The proposal is for asphalt. Mr. Haggerton: Are there any external HVAC units on the roof? Ms. Hudson: I believe they are all interior. Ms. Kaynor: I would like to clarify a couple issues. First, the brick columns that are on the exterior are arcades that mark the entries to the buildings along the front between the gymnasium and administration building. And in the back at the car drop -off loop,- they do not continue into the interior court. We have not selected a specific metal roof yet. If there is enough money the school district may select a metal roof as an alternate. It would be a neutral color, not too different from the asphalt shingles that are proposed Planning Commission Minutes Page 8 November 17, 1994 at this time. There are some HVAC units on the roof over the entries on the low roof portions. Mr. Haggerton: What will they be screened with? Ms. Kaynor: We have proposed a dense wire mesh perhaps painted the same color as the roof. Mr. Haggerton: Has the bond been voted on to fund these projects? Ms. Kaynor: Yes, but there is a very tight budget for this project. Mr. Haggerton: I feel that we cannot approve a project without all the information on roofing and landscaping. Mr. Pace: You could approve this project and have them come back if they decide to change the roof type. Mr. Flesher: I think I could deal with that, but landscaping is still a big question. Mr. Goltz: Concerning landscaping, what you see is the plan that was most recently drawn. This plan contains more trees then we had a month ago. The reason the plan has not been revised to reflect the department of community development's comments is because we just recently received them. We are willing to add the trees to the west that has been requested. We are not skimping on landscaping on this project. Mr. Malina: What irrigation system are you planning to put in? Mr. Goltz: We propose to install a coupler system. We'd like to put lower maintenance landscaping which takes less water, using an underground less expensive system. When it comes up through the ground there is a coupler which the hose is inserted into. We would also like to use soaker hoses during the first few years when the plants are becoming established. Mr. Malina: Have you thought about a drip system? Mr. Goltz: We feel that this system is more efficient. Ms. Hudson: I would like to clarify that on condition 1B, the second sentence will be stricken. On condition 1D a specific number of trees for the buffer area on the west should be identified. Planning Commission Minutes Page 9 November 17, 1994 Mr. Flesher: Or I can take the exhibit as shown along with the agreements staff and the applicant come to regarding the west border. Mr. Haggerton: We need specifics so we can be assured that it gets done. Mr. Goltz: We will be willing to put back 35 or 40 trees. You give us a number and we'll put them in. Ms. Hudson: Staff recommends that they put in 9 additional trees, a mix of 2 inch caliper deciduous and evergreen, on the western boundary in addition to what is proposed. Another item that was brought to my attention is that the gymnasium has been changed from stucco to brick. Mr. Malina: Is it the same color brick as the columns? Ms. Kaynor: The columns are the darkest color brick and the gymnasium is slightly lighter colored so that the colonnade stands out as a separate entrance. The building was changed from stucco to brick quite awhile ago and I believe it came from the school boards discussion about the permanence of stucco on the face of the building, the durability of the stucco in a high traffic location. Mr. Haggerton closed the public hearing at 8:15p.m. Mr. Haggerton: I don't want to give a blank check approval, I want to know specifics, concrete information. Mr. Neiss: It is important to remember that every developer that comes in here has a budget constraint. Mr. Haggerton: I am sympathetic to the school district, we're all tax payers that support the school district. We don't want to demand things that will run the price up, but we can't be too sensitive to that criteria. 1. Revised Landscape Plan Mr. Haggerton: On item B we will strike that second sentence. I would also like to specify a coupler irrigation system in that item. On item C the content is fine but it needs to be reworded. It can be changed to read, "To preserve views of the Cascades on the easterly views, specify deciduous trees for the area adjacent to the street frontage." Item D, we have talked about requesting an additional 9 trees. It should read, "To buffer new structures and parking areas from the westerly neighbors, provide nine Planning Commission Minutes November 17, 1994 Page 10 additional trees, a mix of evergreen and deciduous of at least 2 inch caliper." 2. Revised Building Elevation Mr. Haggerton: We had a concern about the columns. Staff recommend that the brick on the columns be continued on the inside. Ms. Stetson: the brick. I like the architects explanation as to why they decided not to continue Mr. Haggerton: This specifically tells people that it is a entrance. I agree with the applicant's proposal. We can just delete item 2A. Item 2B talks about the roof design. We can't approve two different kinds of roofs. Ms. Stetson: Let's approve the composition roof and request that they come back with a sample of the metal if that's what they chose. Mr. Haggerton: We will delete item 2A and 2B as written. We will rewrite item 2A specifying that we are approving the project with the composition roof as submitted and if they elect to change to a metal roof they must come back before the BAR. 3. Revised Site Lighting Plan Mr. Malina: I am concerned about spillage into the residential neighborhood but I would assume that staff is specifying what type of nighttime illumination on the walkways. 4. Rooftop Mechanical Equipment Mr. Neiss: Where are we going to address the subject of the screening for the HVAC? Mr. Haggerton: In the past we have approved the project stating that the screening will be satisfactory with the director of community development based on our past requirements. I think that a wire mesh may not be adequate. 5. Brick Exterior on Gymnasium Mr. Haggerton: It surprised me that the gymnasium had been changed from stucco to brick. Ms. Stetson: In the staff report on page 14 it says that the gym will have a terra cotta color with dark green trim. Mr. Haggerton: We better put in our conditions that the project has been approved Planning Commission Minutes Page 11 November 17, 1994 with a brick exterior on the gymnasium. We should state that the brick exterior on the gymnasium should be compatible with the color on the columns and let DCD take it from there. Mr. Malina: I have not seen anything in the utilities and drainage plan addressing the oil separator for the parking area. Mr. Haggerton: I think the drainage they have up there will be satisfactory for the way its redesigned. Ms. Stetson: Wouldn't that be a condition of a utility permit? It wouldn't be necessary for us to put it in a motion. MR. HAGGERTON MOVED THAT BASED ON STAFF'S FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS, L94 -0071 DESIGN REVIEW FOR CASCADE VIEW BE APPROVED WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: 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. INSTALL A SECOND BENCH TO PROTECT THE OTHER OAK TREE NEAR THE BUS LOADING AREA. C. TO PRESERVE VIEW OF THE CASCADES, SPECIFY DECIDUOUS TREES FOR THE AREA ADJACENT TO THE STREET FRONTAGE. D. TO BUFFER NEW STRUCTURES AND PARKING AREAS FROM THE WESTERLY NEIGHBORS, PROVIDE AN ADDITIONAL 9 TREES (MIXED EVERGREEN AND DECIDUOUS AT 2" CALIPER) AND SHRUBS ALONG THE WESTERLY END OF THE PROPERTY. 2. REVISED SITE LIGHTING PLAN A. TO ENSURE COMPATIBILITY WITH THE SURROUNDING RESIDENCES, REDUCE THE WATTAGE OF FIXTURES FOR THE PARKING LOT LIGHTING TO 250 WATTS OR LESS, UNLESS THERE IS SATISFACTORY EVIDENCE 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. B. FOR SAFETY AND SECURITY, PROVIDE NIGHTTIME ILLUMINATION OF WALKWAYS AND SOUTHERN PARKING AREAS. Planning Commission Minutes November 17, 1994 Page 12 3. MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT PROVIDE ROOFTOP SCREENING OF HVAC EQUIPMENT WHICH IS DESIGNED TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH BUILDING ARCHITECTURE TO THE SATISFACTION OF THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT. 4. GYMNASIUM EXTERIOR THE BRICK REPLACING THE STUCCO EXTERIOR ON THE GYMNASIUM MUST BE OF A COMPATIBLE COLOR WITH THE ENTIRE PROJECT AND THE BRICK -WORK ON THE COLUMNS. MS. STETSON SECONDED THE MOTION AND THE MOTION WAS UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED. L94=0074 Showalter Middle School Libby Hudson gave the staff report. The proposal before you is to renovate portions of the existing middle school, the demolition of the cafeteria, and an additional structure for a library and classrooms. In addition they are proposing new parking and entry plaza near the new addition. The 14 acre site is located near Foster High School and is surrounded by single family on the east side, soccer fields to the south and the County swimming pool to the west. The variance application was reviewed before the Board of Adjustment on November 3rd and approval was granted for a nine foot height variance for building A which is the 1935 structure. That existing building already exceeds the height limitations for the single family residential area. A sloped roof is placed on building A to enclose the mechanical equipment underneath the roof. This project is not going through conditional use because the actual foot print of the building is not being altered. (Showed details of buildings on site plans.) Criteria #1 The parking area is being moved so the streetscape is improving, the parking has less of an impact to the street. The buildings are set back 100 feet from the streets and are quite a distance from the residents. Criteria #2 A new walkway is proposed in addition to new landscaping. The portables are being moved off -site with the exception of one which will be screened. No landscaping is proposed along this east property line. Ms. Stetson: I believe there is a driveway on the east side of the other building. Is there any change proposed for that? Planning Commission Minutes November 17, 1994 Page 13 Ms. Hudson: This is the property boundary (shown on map). The color is chosen for the unifying effect of this collection of buildings. The roofs will remain the same with the exception of building A. The bus traffic is separated from other staff parking. The main entry to building A will have a canopy. Criteria #3 Grades will primarily remain the same on the property. (Specific landscaping shown on site plan.) Lighting fixtures are similar to the Cascade View and are proposed at 15 -18 feet high in the walkway area and 30 feet high in the parking area. The recommendation is that additional trees are provided that enhance the architecture of the building as well as to not impair the cascade view. Criteria #4 The scale of the buildings are institutional in scale, two story. There are no windows or doors proposed on the north end of building A. The color scheme for the building is in browns and beiges and the parapet is in a darker brick red. The mechanical equipment is under the roof for building A and on the roof for the other buildings. It's Staffs opinion that the color choice should be "jazzed up ". Mr. Haggerton: school? Is it your opinion that the colors should be similar to the high Ms. Hudson: No necessarily similar but compatible with more contrasting colors. Criteria #5 There are some bollards proposed although a detail was not provided. The applicant intends to come before you again with the bollards and signs at a later date. On condition number 2 on the revised landscape plan, it is our understanding that the intention is to move the existing maintenance building off -site which would allow access to the bus turn around to align with the roadway which would be safer. Staffs recommendation would be approval with condition that the applicant revise the color board to something more in harmony with Foster High School, and also that the detailing of the doors and windows be consistent on the elevation on the west side of building A. Mr. Malina: Some parts of the buildings have canopies and some don't. Do you feel there needs to be consistency? Ms. Hudson: Yes, I think it would be a good idea to carry that detail throughout. We Planning Commission Minutes Page 14 November 17, 1994 have revised the landscape plan to require landscaping along the eastern property that screens the parking from the neighboring residential uses. Mr. Malina: What are they proposing for an irrigation system? Ms. Hudson: Any new landscaped areas are required by the zoning code to have irrigation systems. It doesn't have to be automatic, it could be a coupler system like they are proposing for Cascade View. Mr. Haggerton: What about the columns on the west elevation, what are those? Ms. Hudson: That is the entry. There is an arcade there and those columns speak to that. We did not receive a detail for that courtyard area. Mr. Malina: Have they explained why they want to use stucco for this project when they changed the stucco to brick at Cascade View? Ms. Hudson: This is a large complex and you're dealing with a hodge -podge of buildings. Stucco is an easy way to unify the structures. Lauren McConecky, Bassetti Architects: I would like to go through some corrections to the staff report. - Item 1B: I wish to point out that there is fairly extensive screening on the private property owner's side of that entire fence. - Item 2A states there will be no groove lines or other embellishments in stucco. In fact, a number of expansion drawings and architectural reveals occur throughout the new stucco walls. (Pointed out examples on drawings.) - Item 2B talks about the landscape transition to adjoining properties. We feel that the landscape transition along the south is significantly different from the current layout. Currently it is fronted by an asphalt bus zone and a bus shelter. Both of those are to be removed and the proposed design provides a new lawn and significant planting. The intent of the change is to improve the streetscape. - Item 2C speaks of the roof, having a more residential character. The sloped roof on roof "A" was provided as a response of citizen input regarding positive drainage at all roof areas. We believe that a strong sloping roof would be damaging to the character of the existing building. A low slope roof profile is more important for the maintenance of this stylistic building. - Item 2E says that what is missing is a careful consideration of lining up the driveway with 46th Avenue to allow coherent turning movements. We believe that is a good idea but unfortunately is not within the scope of our project. The district is looking into moving the maintenance building, providing an appropriate site and source of funds is Planning Commission Minutes November 17, 1994 available. Page 15 Mr. Goltz: When we went to the voters we did not ask for funds for moving the maintenance area and building, therefore, the design has moved forward with the location of the driveways as is currently shown. The problems are 1) we don't have a location for the maintenance building, and 2) it would probably cost $200,000 for an additional building. In the staff report, item 4D asks for us to screen those buildings. We can do that and will continue to pursue any avenue we can to remove that maintenance building. In addition, we have had trouble finding property zoned for a maintenance facility. We are improving the situation we currently have. As proposed we will provide two entrances and are moving the entrance away from the hill. It will be a safer site. Mr. Haggerton: What are the hours of operation for that maintenance facility? Mr. Goltz: 8:OOam to 4:30pm Mr. McConecky: - Item 4C: it is not unusual that the detailing on a building shifts, depending on major or minor entry, vertical or horizontally oriented facade. We feel that the vertical orientation is significant at the commons doors. The idea of placing round windows at major entries was good. We should change the west facade major entry to port hole windows. - Conclusion #3 says there are few new green areas being proposed. We believe the school lawn and planting areas form a significant new green area along the street facade. We have intentionally avoided a simplistic row of trees because the vertical rhythm would conflict with the horizontally layered building. I feel quite strongly that a simple rhythm in a vertical matter is opposite from what an art-modeme style is calling for. Mr. McConecky: - Conclusion #4 states that the intent is to visually simplify the complex using stucco walls and common color themes, using a box -like complex to mimic an austere art - moderne style. The building design intent is neither to simplify the campus or mimic the art - moderne style. The design objectives of that style were efficiency, economy and appearance. A citizens' group recommended that building A be saved and the voters approved that recommendation. The design intent is to unify the existing chaotic group of structures. A secondary aspect of the design is the recognition of the stewardship of public funds inherent in the design of schools. We believe the objectives of art - moderne parallel the school board's charge. It is important for clarification of the canopies that the main entry canopy over the east and southeast entry has been repeated over the Planning Commission Minutes Page 16 November 17, 1994 major west entry and the semi - circular entry arcade off the court yard. We believe that a prominently sloped roof is inappropriate for the style and would seriously compromise the integrity of the historic building. The color in the art - modern style was used primarily as an accent rather than a base color. The muted tones have been proposed for major wall areas and a saturated red hue is proposed for all of the entry canopies. That is a change from what the designs show. - Conclusion #5: The revised design does include sitting areas at the major east and west entries. - Recommendation #1 talks about using colors contrasting and bold. Some of the ancillary structures are not part of this design effort so we don't have much to say about what color those are. There is a concern I have about replicating Foster High School colors in this structure, they are very different in design. This design is more streamlined and subdued in its nature. We would be willing to take a look at using blues at the major doors east and west as part of the signage. The circular entry arcade could become a darker hue similar to the major entry on the east facade. The red canopy would then stand out. 1B talks about achieving consistency using window and door details. We have tried to represent horizontal windows where the massing is stretched out and allow the square and vertically oriented fenestration occur in the more prominent zones where there is vertical massing. I would suggest that the minor entry doors such as service doors, and back entries to shops and music rooms do not need to have the port hole windows as on the major doors. - Recommendation #3, we have no problem using 250 watt lights in the parking area. - Recommendation #4A says to enhance architectural features of the east facade on building A, install trees in a pattern. We have tried to group the tree plantings toward the center to reinforce that center vertical piece as well as out in the edges. Trees on a regular basis will get big and eventually block the views that are currently enjoyed. 4B talks about protecting plantings. (Referenced drawings.) Mr. Goltz: Regarding item 4C, I will show a series of pictures that I took at the site just yesterday showing the current landscaping. We feel it would be a redundancy to put plantings in front of other plantings. In the area of the horse pasture, I agree with Mr. McConecky's point of that area connecting us to the ruralness that was once Tukwila. Mr. Malina: You're not concerned about the liability of that? Mr. Goltz: No, not at all. Regarding 4D, as I mentioned before, that is something we could do within budget. Mr. Malina: How about the color of those two buildings? Planning Commission Minutes November 17, 1994 Mr. Goltz: We could paint them to match the color. Page 17 Kirsten Whisler: We had a committee made up of 18 members of the community who went and got parents and students and other residents to participate in the planning of these two school projects. We never talked to the public about moving the shed. Our priorities were for what was best for the students. When we went to the voters we wanted to go for what was in the best interest of the tax payers, what was most reasonable, what we thought would pass. The point of lining up the street with the entrance is a good one but we have no property to move those maintenance buildings onto. Mr. Malina: What is the portable that has been moved next to the district office? Isn't is a district office? Ms. Whisler: It will be an administration office for human and support services, Special Ed. staff, CDS, nursing staff, counselors, to do fingerprinting of volunteers and employees, and other services we need to provide to students. Both of the remodels at Cascade View and Showalter are adding more office space for CDS and speech therapist and psychologists. There will still be a need to house those people some place in the future. Mr. McConecky: - Item 4E, our intent was to underground power lines to the school. - Item 4F, I propose the drawings on your left as the solution to that east entry with seating and stairway as well. There was mention of a mechanical screen around the roof of the building. That involves mechanical units on top of the kitchen area as well as over the linkage between the locker rooms and the school. Both of these areas will be screened with higher parapets or a stucco screen. There was also a mention of brick as a base material for the school. Currently the walls and foundation are concrete, so in order to use brick at the base we would be putting in an entire new foundation system around the perimeter of the school. Mr. Malina: The concern I had was that the reason for getting away from a stucco gymnasium at Cascade View was the cleanliness and so forth. I was surprised that you were recommending stucco on this project. Mr. McConecky: Our recommendation was stucco at the gymnasium of Cascade View. The school district felt strongly that it should be brick as a prominent public facade with a most lasting look. Planning Commission Minutes Page 18 November 17, 1994 Mr. Malina: I don't see a proposal here for new signage. Mr. McConecky: That will be part of what will be coming back to you in the future. It will be integrated to a series of entry bollards that march the street to the major facade. Mr. Neiss: You said you shrunk down the height of the windows due to the energy code. My understanding of the code residentially is that aluminum windows will no longer meet code. Can you address to that in terms of a commercial building? Mr. McConecky: I can't address it in terms of the changes in the energy code. There would be a gasketed break between exterior and interior in the kind of windows that we would be using. Mr. Neiss: That code may change what you do with your windows because aluminum may not meet code. Mr. McConecky: I would be amazed if they ruled against aluminum windows in commercial structures. I will be glad to look into it and verify. Mr. Neiss: Regarding the windows on the west elevation, are they mullions? Mr. McConecky: Yes, there are horizontal mullions within the basic vertical window of that facade. Ms. Hudson: Readdressing condition 1A, the staff feels strongly that although the color scheme proposed here may be 1930's style, it is the 90's, and updating it would be more in keeping with the liveliness of the middle school. Under 1B, on the west elevation on building "A ", although this faces a different direction it is the same building and the continuation of the grid windows system would continue that design. Condition 4A, there are alternatives to horizontal trees which would be in keeping with the architectural style. Using columnar trees would maintain the views to the east. They could be placed in some relationship to the columns and windows and reflect the architecture. Mr. McConecky: We're not trying to make this look like Foster High School. We are trying to make it look like a 1938 building. I don't think it's appropriate to change colors when you do a restoration. Concerning the issue of the landscaping trees, I don't think it does justice to the building to have a soldier row of trees. It doesn't seem to have a flow like a clump of trees which more closely resembles how trees in a natural setting Planning Commission Minutes Page 19 November 17, 1994 are. Mr. Neiss: Do you know the distance of this area? (Referenced on site plan) Mr. Neiss: This area is the only area that doesn't have any contrasting colors and I was wondering why. Mr. McConecky: It is a new piece on an old facade. We were trying to give it the lightest color so it would read as a predominant piece. We have tried to make a strong landscape statement out of the courtyard and give it a strong center. Mr. Neiss: I think the color band should have been carried across there. Mr. McConecky: We could have, but the issue was that the whole facade became vertical. Mr. Haggerton closed the public hearing at 9:47pm. Mr. Malina: I think all in all the project is a good project, however, I have to concur with staff as far as the color. I also concur with staying with the consistency of the windows. As far as the east portion of the property, they are trying to sell the idea of a natural buffer between the school and the residential neighborhood. The neighbor will sell some day, so it does need to be buffered. We have done that with Cascade View on the western side. I have a concern that the staff is seeing kids going over the fence to feed the horses. I believe the canopies over the doorways need to be continued. They are designed to provide shelter as well as aesthetics. I would definitely like to see landscaping around the two maintenance buildings as well as having them painted to be consistent with the school color. Mr. Haggerton: I have the personal opinion that because of the extent of the bond that the public approved, I expected more. I like the drive -in and west areas and the landscaping along 144th, but something is missing on the east side. I don't agree with staff on the columnar trees, perhaps a few clustered trees would look more natural. Regarding the colors, I'm not sure that the taxpayers will understand that the colors are from the art- moderne style. They will relate it to what looks nice and fresh to justify the expense of what went into the building. I have mixed emotions as to what those colors should be. Mr. Malina: The problem I had is that the courtyard area is the 1990's but yet on the other side of the building they are trying to keep the 1930's. Planning Commission Minutes Page 20 November 17, 1994 Mr. Haggerton: I agree. Mr. Neiss: I also would have liked to see something different. I don't necessarily agree that we need to keep harmony with Foster, but I think we need bolder colors to accent the building itself. Mr. Haggerton: I agree that it should have its own identity. Do you feel comfortable having the staff work with the applicant to come up with a different color scheme? Mr. Flesher: I would like to see it before it's approved. Mr. Haggerton: Items 3A, 4B, 4D, 4E, and 4F are in agreement with both staff and applicant. We need to work on items 1A, 1B, 2A, 4A, and 4C. Mr. Malina: It's my recommendation that we add verbage about the additional canopies over the west entrance and moving the maintenance buildings. Mr. Neiss: I think we need to continue the contrasting band on that large area. Mr. Haggerton: that. The total exterior color scheme is suspect, I think we all agree on Ms. Stetson: I don't mind the color combination that is presented. I could see perhaps a touch more of deeper reds along window bands. Mr. Haggerton: Let's just turn it back to the architect and let the staff work with him to come up with something better. To keep those colors because they are indicative of the 1930's style is not a good reason, they should be pleasing to look at. Mr. Neiss: I like the idea of using the circle windows at the doors, that will definitely give it the 1930's feel. I'm not excited about the windows on the west elevation. I don't know why they were even put in that way, but they have existing openings they have to work with. Mr. Malina: Should we even have item 2A in here since we cannot move the maintenance buildings? Ms. Stetson: building. I would like to see them do whatever landscaping is possible around the Planning Commission Minutes Page 21 November 17, 1994 Mr. Haggerton: Staff and the applicant are at odds on item 4A. Mr. Neiss: I think I would like to see more of the clumping as opposed to the columnar trees, but I would like to see more then what's being proposed. Mr. Haggerton: Let's specify that they need to come back to us with the landscaping on the east side (4A) and the color scheme (1A). What about 4C? Mr. Malina: I think perimeter landscaping is needed. The resident can take out that ivy at any time. Mr. Haggerton: So we agree with staff on item 4C. Then we will add item 5 to paint the shop and service buildings to be harmonious with the school colors. We will have to wait until they come back with the color scheme. We can make a recommendation to approve the project with the exception of the items they need to come back to us on. MR. NEISS MOVED TO APPROVE L94 -0074 BASED ON STAFF'S FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS : COME BACK TO THE BAR WITH A NEW COLOR SCHEME ADDRESSING BOLDER COLORS FOR ITEM 1A; DELETE ITEM 2; ACCEPT ITEM 3; ACCEPT ITEM 4B, 4D, 4E, AND 4F; COME BACK TO THE BAR WITH ON THE EAST FACADE WITH THE TREES AND TO COME BACK ON THE PAINTING OF THE MAINTENANCE BUILDINGS TO BE HARMONIOUS WITH THE SCHOOL, WITH ADDITIONAL SCREENING; ITEM 4C ALSO BE BROUGHT BACK TO THE BOARD; AND TO ENSURE THAT THERE IS A CANOPY ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE BUILDING. MR. MALINA SECONDED THE MOTION AND THE MOTION WAS UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED. L93 -0083 Sears Home Life Jack Pace gave staff report. This is a project that when presented before, the Board had asked for the applicant to come back for approval on the signage. (couldn't hear remainder of staff report) Mr. Neiss: There were two options, one that has some detail and one that is more square in design, is that correct? Mr. Pace: That's correct. The question the Board had was what would be in keeping with the surrounding signage. As noted in the staff report, is putting the peak on the sign really necessary, does it add anything to the sign as opposed to the original proposal that staff supports? Planning Commission Minutes November 17, 1994 Page 22 Bob Wiley, Managing Partner of Fidelity Associates, developer of project: The design which the staff has recommended is the standard Sears design. We would appreciate it if we could keep that standard appearance by putting the box around the words. Mr. Haggerton closed the public hearing at 10:16pm. Mr. Malina: I think the design of the sign goes with the structure and is nice looking. MR. MALINA MOVED TO APPROVE L93 -0083 BASED ON STAFF'S FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS. MR. NEISS SECONDED THE MOTION AND THE MOTION WAS UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED. Director's Report: The Planning Commission agreed to meet on December 3rd and 10th to review the draft Comp Plan. Mr. Haggerton: This relates to the minutes of that City Council minutes regarding the Comp Plan and specifically the urban center. There is fragmented opinion about whether the Comp Plan should or should not include an urban center. We were contacted to join a task force consisting of members from the Council, Planning Commission, Tukwila Tomorrow, staff, and the Mayor. The decision was made to turn the subject of the urban center back to the Tukwila Tomorrow Committee (at least as many members as possible). They will actively work on three different proposals for an urban center. Those choices are the 1) full blown urban center model, 2) a modified urban center model and 3) no urban center and the ramifications of all those alternatives on the Comp Plan. That will set our schedule back somewhat but we all agreed that it was in the best interest of the City. Mr. Malina: I question the legality of that. Grant made a motion that night that there would be a parallel study. Mr. Pace: What was agreed upon was that we would look at the other alternatives for the urban center. The tentative schedule was to have that meeting on November 30th then have a package of material reviewed by December 19th. Tukwila Tomorrow will not make a recommendation, they will come back to us with the alternatives for us to debate. ? ?: We made an agreement with Rick Beeler and members of the City Council that Planning Commission Minutes November 17, 1994 Page 23 staff would be given the money to conduct this parallel study and bring it back to us. There was a big doubt that it could be accomplished by December 10th. Mr. Pace: The agreement was that we would prepare the material for staff and they would review and make comments and /or modifications to the two other alternatives that Tukwila Tomorrow prepares. Mr. Haggerton: I think the Mayor handled it this way to pacify as many people as possible internally and to look as clean as possible to the public and the State. He did not want the staff to come up with alternatives to something that the Tukwila Tomorrow Committee came up with originally. Mr. Malina: Will there still be an EIS on that? Mr. Pace: Yes. We are trying to package the material so we can use it not only for the citizen's committee but for the SEPA requirements as well. Mr. Haggerton: We will continue working on the other areas of the Comp Plan until we receive those urban center alternatives. • Meeting Adjourned. Prepared By, Diane Medler i.

Project description: This project entails the substantial renovation and minor additions to a 93,924 square foot middle school in order to meet current and projected needs for 720 students. Additions comprise approximately 12,486 square feet, most of which replace portable structures. There will also be demolition of approximately 4,000 square feet of obsolete cafeteria space, and removal of the prominent brick chimney to the building. Parking will be increased from the present 84 stalls to a total of 177 spaces. Driveways, parking lots, and general road circulation will be altered as part of this program. A new entry plaza is proposed for the west side of the complex, as well as the addition of a mechanical room to the roof area of the two -story classroom building. Common colors and a similar stucco wall treatment are proposed as a unifying element for the entire complex. The present complex was built in stages. The two -story classroom wing is Building "A," built in 1936 and 1945, followed by Building B (performing arts) in 1969, C and D (gym and locker rooms) in 1963. The site contains several portable buildings, all of which will be removed or relocated. The one portable that will be relocated on site will be moved to the site's southeast corner, approximately 10 feet from a single -family residence and adjacent to the District's administrative building. New signs for the school will be submitted as a separate application at a later date. Details for bollard -type pedestrian lighting will accompany this sign application. 2. Site Description: The site is approximately 14 acres in size. In addition to the Middle School's facilities, it contains the administrative offices of the South Central School District. 3. Surrounding Land Uses: To the North are the aforementioned playfields, bordered by single family residences. To the West are the King County Pool and the Foster High School stadium. Foster High School was rebuilt in 1989; its approval contained substantial design features related to height, to parking, to facades and to details of landscaping. To the South and East are single family residences. Staff Report to the Board of Architectural Review L94 -0074: Showalter Middle School Page 4 4. Terrain: The area of the proposed improvements is essentially level, which reflects the grading work done over its long history as a school. Land slopes at a 1 % grade approximately eight feet from west to east, and the same amounts from south to north. Playfields occupy the north half of the site; to the east the land slopes through a densely -treed area to Macadam Road. 5. Access: is from 144th Street, where two new access points will replace existing ones. One of these is offset approximately 50 feet from the centerline of the terminus of 46th Avenue. This entrance will be 25 feet wide and will be used primarily for bus and service vehicle access. The other entrance will be a 3 -lane, 35' wide driveway, and will provide the principal access to the facility, including access to the School District's administrative offices. Also the present front yard contains an existing "work storage garage" and "storage trailer." These two features sit at the southwest corner of the site, immediately adjacent to 144th Street, and directly in line with the terminus of 46th Avenue. 6. Public Facilities within one block include this middle school, an adjoining King County swimming pool, Foster High, Foster Library, a fire station, and St. Thomas Catholic Church. 7. Public Review A 9' -0" height variance for Building "A" was granted on November 3, 1994 by the Board of Adjustment. The affected structure, which was built nearly 50 years ago, already exceeds the 30 foot height limit for the zone. The proposed building alterations are substantially within the existing footprint of the structure. The Department of Community Development has determined that conditional use permit review is not required. However, because the building facade will be altered in excess of 10% of the value of the structure, architectural design review is required. DECISION 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. C.. Staff Report to the Board of Architectural Review L94 -0074: Showalter Middle School Page 5 A. Transition consists of maintaining existing grades, which are nearly level. Existing street trees are maintained, and the former parking area in front of the building will be replaced with grass. Twelve cherry trees will flank a new curved walkway to provide a visual connection between the street and Buildings "A" and B. Parking will be moved from the front yard to both the east and west sides of the buildings. No landscape screening is proposed along the margin of the extensive asphalt areas of the main (East) parking lot. Screening is shown between the relocated portable and the adjacent residence at the southeast corner of the site. C. Building "A ", which received the 9' -0" height variance, will stand approximately 3' higher when renovated. However, this classroom wing is set back 100 feet from the street, 80 feet more than required by the city's zoning code. The height variance permits construction of a mechanical room with a sloped roof. 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 Way, efciency and convenience should be encouraged; (E) Compatibility of on -site vehicular circulation with street circulation should be encouraged. A. The application proposes using a common color scheme to unify the buildings. Stucco treatment is proposed for all exterior walls. It will be left smooth to create a semblance of visual unity. There will be no grooves, score lines or other embellishments to this material. B. Landscape transition to adjoining properties remains essentially the same as present. The landscape plan proposes planting 12 arbutus and two service -berry shrubs at the southeast corner of the site, between the relocated portable and the adjoining residence to the east. No new plantings are proposed on the west or north property lines. An existing chain link fence is proposed to be moved to the top of a bank at the northwest corner of the complex, adjacent to the Gymnasium. No new perimeter planting is shown between the east parking lot and the east parking area. C. Established neighborhood character includes the relatively massive public structures such as the King County Pool and Foster High School. The proposal adds a sloped roof to Building "A, " which is a block -like, rectangular, "art- moderne" structure. This feature was requested by neighbors to give the 40+ Staff Report to the Board of Architectural Review Page 6 foot high building a more residential character. No other roof silhouette changes are proposed. Other structures in the complex have roof planes which are essentially level. L94 -0074: Showalter Middle School D. The site plan separates bus and utility traffic from other types of movement, by providing a westerly service entrance to a central courtyard. This courtyard feature will serve as their primary access point for many students. Amenities include benches and a new covered area adjacent to the bus turnaround, and new walkways from 144th Street along the east side of the facility. A fire lane 20 feet wide travels around the entire complex, providing necessary emergency access. The east parking lot will contain a two -way set of lanes and a drop off zone in front of the major east entrance to the classroom wing. This entrance will have a new canopy which will be prominent and colorful. E. The new plan separates bus from other vehicular traffic by providing two driveways approximately 300 feet apart. As noted above, the westerly one for buses will be 24 feet wide, while the easterly one will be 35 feet wide, allowing for a left turn out onto 144th Street. What is missing is a careful consideration of lining up the westerly driveway with the terminus of 46th Avenue, to allow coherent turning movements between these points and 144th Street. 3. Landscape and Site Treatment. (A) Where 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 trqffic, 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 a 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. B. Grades of walkways are proposed to remain essentially the same, except at the plaza area where there will be a curving ramp. Staff Report to the L94 -0074: Showalter Middle School Page 7 Board of Architectural Review C. Enhancements include removing the existing parking area which sits between Buildings "A" and "B" and 144th Street. The former parking lot will be replaced with lawn and a walkway flanked by 12 flowering cherry trees. Proposed landscape features here include two groups of Japanese black pines on the south side of Building "B," and existing trees and shrubs along the south side of the 38+ foot high Building "A." A total of 10 new maples are proposed to screen or otherwise interrupt a view of the 360+ foot long east facade. These maples do not line up with the vertical elements in the facade, although they do flank the east entrance and they provide some visual emphasis at both the south and north ends of the structure. There are no significant vistas or important axes to be enhanced. D. Three tulip trees are proposed between the bus drop -off point and the grassy area of the central plaza /courtyard. They will be protected by a 40 foot long bench adjacent to the turnaround. Another planter area is directly opposite the exit doors on the west side of Building "A." It contains two Japanese black pines and many "hardy" fuchsias. Protective measures for this area consists of railings along the planter. Turf and three Japanese pines are also planned along the 290+ foot long north facade of Buildings "A," "C," and "D," replacing the area where "portables" stood for years. This grass area is proposed for 32 "event" parking spaces. E. The revised parking lot to the east of the complex will have a relatively large central lawn area, marked by clusters of Japanese Pines in planters. With the exception of 13 Strawberry trees and two serviceberries between the relocated portable and a nearby residence, a border of grass constitutes the landscape design for the area adjacent to the east property line. The area along to the west property line is proposed to remain similarly endowed with grass and cyclone fencing. F. Two new 8' -0" Japanese black pines are proposed to screen the storage and loading area which sits at the north side of Building "B." Low shrubs include Pacific wax myrtle and two Oydama magnolias. Thirteen strawberry trees are proposed to screen the existing storage area at the southwest corner of the site, immediately adjacent to the new driveway access from 144th Street. G. The new plaza contains concrete paving stones set in the grass area. Ramps will surround this central green area. H. The existing complex has at least one cobra - headed light fixture mounted on the parapet of Building "A." The applicant has provided details on three types of proposed exterior lighting for the area. Walkways will have 15 -18 foot high Kim Staff Report to the Board of Architectural Review L94 -0074: Showalter Middle School Page 8 SAR fixtures, while parking areas will have two pairs of 30 foot high Kim AR fixtures. These fixtures are designed to be used together, as they have the same general profile. 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. Four bollard (column- shaped) lights are proposed along the east side of Building "A." Details of their design will be submitted for review and approval at the time of submittal of a sign application. 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. The Middle School complex contains buildings designed over several decades, from the 1930s to the late 1960s. The result is a hodgepodge that ranges from Bauhaus to industrial. This institutional character of tilt -up concrete style prevails and is mirrored by the nearby King County Pool building. These facilities have a contrasting design relationship to the adjoining single - family residences, which is one of different function, greater mass and different materials. B. The scale of these structures is driven by functionality; two -story classroom buildings do not look or work like two -story homes. Their scale is appropriate to their function. Harmony is achieved by set -backs of 100 feet from the nearest residence. C. The components proposed here are part of additions and modifications to a wide range of designs. Stucco is being applied to exterior surfaces on all buildings, and these will be smooth, without shadow lines or other contrasting details. All rooftop drainage will be conveyed by internal pipes, in order to maintain the smooth appearance of the facade. No windows will face north. All windows will use silver aluminum mullions and frames to repeat the "art moderne" look of the late 1930s. The new roof to building "A" will be sloped back at a 2/12 angle to minimize its inconsistency with the structure's 1930s blocky and rectangular design Staff Report to the Board of Architectural Review L94 -0074: Showalter Middle School Page 9 theme. Only two sets of doors to the buildings will have a common circular window that reflects this late - Thirties design. Doors elsewhere will be quite different. Those for the new addition will display long, narrow rectangles on a vertical axis. Doors to Building "B" are blank. D. Proposed colors are browns, beiges, and creams. New buildings are to be an off white. Parapet coping (metal trim at the top of Building "A ") will be a reddish brown. The fascia (vertical band) at the east entrance to Building "A" will be a dark red. Colors for the rest of the structures are shown on the reduced -scale perspectives, attachment I. E. Mechanical equipment on the roof of the tallest building, Building "A" will be enclosed. Other roofs will have exterior mounted mechanical equipment that will be shielded. Their details are included in attachment H. F. See comment to 4 E, above. G. This complex of buildings is varied in bulk, in height, in architectural style, in details, and in age of construction. Common stucco treatment and common colors are proposed as a unifying element. 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 with 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. Street furniture and miscellaneous structures are addressed in attachment H. These include lighting, benches, bike racks, and mechanical equipment enclosures. There will be built -in concrete benches around the central courtyard, designed to reflect the curving nature of this area. B. There will be several "bollard" type lights associated with the principal sign for the school. Details for this light and for the signs will be the subject of a separate application. Board of Architectural Review Staff Report to thE94 -0074: Showalter Middle School Page '10 CONCLUSIONS The conclusions are grouped under the five principal design review guidelines. 1. Relationship of Structure to Site. As a remodel /renovation, only the additions to these buildings affect the relationship of the structure to the site. Removing the portable structures on the north end, and constructing the additions ends up with an approximate balance. 2. Relationship of Structure and Site to Adjoining Area. Most additions will not be visible from beyond the property lines. The new roof to Building "A" will be barely perceptible from the residences on the east and south because the roof is designed at a 2/12 slope to be unobtrusive, and because the angle of view from these residences is relatively steep. No homes are on the west side of the complex, and there are several hundred feet of playfields that buffer the view from houses on the north. Access to the site is improved, especially with the easterly, principal drive into the site. The westerly access does not line up with 46th Avenue, being offset approximately 50 feet, which appears to cause a hazardous situation. 3. Landscaping and Site Treatment. There is little in the way of "new green areas" being proposed for this school. Given the intensive nature of the use of this facility, live landscaping has been restricted to relatively protected areas. This includes the planters along the south sides of Buildings "A" and "B", and in portions of the plaza that sit to the north of Building "B" and west of Building "A." The use of trees is notably lacking, especially to diminish the appearance of the 360 + -foot long east facade of "A," either as seen from the parking lot or from the residences to the east. 4. Building Design. The intent is clear to visually simplify the middle school complex by using stucco walls and common color themes. This modernization purports to integrate this box -like complex by mimicking an austere "art- moderne" style, one that is expressed in the prominent 50+ year old Building "A." This results in stucco -clad walls without windows, making a smooth but dreary appearance to the north and west. The north facade is completely devoid of detail. Not even a painted mural is proposed to add visual interest and reduce monotony of this blank, 30+ feet high facade. Building details, such as a common doorway motifs, are missing. Canopies over doorways are a hit -or -miss phenomena: one is proposed for the east entrance to building "A ", but not over the west one. Opportunities to provide a prominent sloped roof to Building "A" have been discarded in a vision to not compromise the structure's 1930s big -box style. This is in dramatic contrast to the triangular rooftop design of the mechanical space at Foster High School, which is visually successful, albeit in a new structure rather than in a remodelled one. Colors for facades are weak rather than vigorous, tones bland rather than contrasting. Staff Report to the Board of Architectural Review L94 -0074: Showalter Middle School Page 11 Proposed windows on the west facade to Building "A" repeat a motif of squares within squares, rather than the 1930's motif of rectangles within rectangles. Entry doors on the west facade to Building "A" consist of a series of stacked horizontal rectangles, rather than the circular doors found on the east side. These window and door features have little relationship to their counterparts in the parent (original 1930s) structure. Attention that was lavished to keep the roof from conflicting with this 1930s design somehow was forgotten when designing features like doors and windows, which are the obvious ones that one walks up to and sees at eye level. Overall, the design being proposed is bleak and uninviting. An occasional Queen Elizabeth Maple or Japanese pine will not soften this austere "modernization." 5. Miscellaneous structures and street furniture. Benches, bike racks, trash receptacles and lighting fixtures will provide a design consistency with this intended program of modernization. The prominent east entrance, for all its "art moderne" red canopy and silver doors lacks some very pedestrian features, such as a set of benches for the comfort of the students waiting for rides. RECOMMENDATIONS The Department of Community Development recommends approval of the proposed project subject to the following conditions: Prior to issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall submit for review and approval of the Community Development Department the following: 1. A revised set of elevations and color board(s). A. To achieve harmony with the nearby Foster High School, use colors that are consistently contrasting and bold for all facades, including those of the storage trailer and the work garage. B. To achieve consistency, use window and door details such as circles and rectangles that reflect the 1930's style. 2. A revised site plan. A. To achieve compatibility of vehicular circulation provide a revised westerly access drive that lines up with 46th Avenue, unless such alignment can not be successfully achieved in the judgment of the Tukwila Public Works Department. Staff Report to the Board of Architectural Review L94 -0074: Showalter Middle School Page 12 3. site lighting details. A. To provide lighting compatible with the adjacent area, use reduced wattage of the fixtures. In the parking lot, restrict lighting to 250 watts or less unless there is satisfactory evidence provided that the 400 watt fixtures are necessary for public safety. Restrict the lighting distribution to 0 -5 lumens at the property line. 4. A revised landscape plan. A. To enhance architectural features of the east facade of Building "A," install maples or other tall trees in a pattern that lines up with either the bays of the windows or with the columns between the windows. B. To protect plantings from injury provide details which show how the planter areas will be protected from high pedestrian traffic in the vicinity of the plaza, notably the planter immediately outside the west student entry, and the planter area outside the south side of Building "D." C. To moderate the visual impact of large paved areas, include perimeter landscaping of trees and shrubs between the eastern parking lot and the property line. This should extend from the north edge of the relocated portable approximately 260 feet to the point where the parking aisles turn and head northwest. D. To screen the service yard and work garage area, provide a screen of materials acceptable to the Department of Community Development, to be located where it will moderate views from 144th Street. E. To enhance the building design and the adjoining landscape, remove or underground overhead power lines. These include power lines along the north side of Buildings "A" "C" and "D," and along the northeast side of the parking lot. Substitute consistently designed (eg., Kim) lighting fixtures for any present exterior cobra - headed lights. F. To provide an inviting and stable appearance, provide benches under the canopy of the east entry to Building "A."

Date: SHOWALTER MIDDLE SCHOOL - 94475.00 BOARD OF ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW DESIGN REVIEW APPLICATION 1. Relationship of Structure to Site: August 16, 1994 1A. Thc additions, alterations and rehabilitation of Showalter Middle School has been designed to significantly improve relationships and linkages between the building and its surroundings. Currently an asphalt bus drop -off zone provides the transition between the street and the building. Thc proposed plan provides a landscaped, lawn arca in place of the bus loop. Transition from South 144th Street to the school accommodates pedestrian and bicycle traffic only. The new lawn area maintains the existing street trees as well as accommodates the planting • of additional trees to reinforce the pedestrian entry patterns. Vehicular and pedestrian access will be shifted to reinforce the existing main entry to the school (midway along the east facade) and. the new entry plaza at the west side of the school. Automobile traffic entering the site has been rerouted from the eastern edge of the property to a more centralized location. This shift offers numerous advantages: entry and egress onto South 144th Street is safer because the driveway will be further from the steep hill at the east edge of the site (thereby improving traffic site lines); traffic impacts on neighbors living on the east edge of the property will be mitigated; on -site parking will be significantly increased (current: 84 spaces, proposed: 161 spaces); an enlarged automobile drop -off and pickup zone will improve student safety and decrease congestion on the 'v street. Also, we are proposing that bus traffic be routed off the street onto the west side of the site. This arrangement also offers numerous advantages: the street front of the school will be less congested and far more gracious; bus drop -off will occur within the site, segregated from automobile areas, thereby increasing safety for students; the adjacency of the bus drop -off zone to the exterior student plaza increases the vitality of this important amenity within the campus. 1B. Proposed parking areas are located off the street and are well screened by landscaping. Parking has been split into two lots to further reduce the impact of large paved areas. We have also proposed that parking for after school and weekend events will occur in the bus drop -off area thereby providing double utilization of this paved area. 1C. The design proposes no significant change to the current height and scale of most components of the building. We propose a low slope roof on the 1938 building in order to improve drainage. This slope will have a minimal visual impact from the street in front of the school. The major addition to the west side of the school is scaled to fit within the massing of the existing building. 2. Relationship of Structure and Site to Adjoining Area: 2A. Showalter Middle School is surrounded by residential structures to. the south and cast, playfields and woods to the north, and the stadium, football field and track to the west. Significant nearby structures include Foster High School, Saint Thomas Church and the Community Pool. The proposed design for Showalter will significantly unify the cxisting and new campus structures by emphasizing the original Arc Moderne style of the 1938 building and by providing new finishes and colors that reinforce this style. Characteristics of the style include horizontal massing punctuated with vertical masses at the entry, simple detailing and subtle color banding within the straight- forward massing. While none of the adjacent structures are designed in the Art Moderne style the simple, straight- forward lines and massing of Showalter have provided the contextual history from which the surrounding buildings were designed. wp002.sms /amd 1 2B. Additional landscaping is proposed along the south, east and, to a lesser degree, the west sides of the site. As discussed previously (1A), the new lawn and planting on the south side enrich the street facade of the school. The private houses to the cast are buffered by a series of shrubs and low conifers. Splashes of fall color in the proposed maple trees on the west side of the site will provide a colorful transition between the school and the stadium. The playfields to the north will also be improved. 2C. Showalter Middle School is the oldest large building in thc neighborhood and therefore established the context from which more recent buildings have emerged. We propose to restore and reinforce the character of the original Showalter structure. 2D. Please reference 1A for discussion of vehicular, pedestrian and service circulation patterns relative to safety, efficiency, convenience and design integration. 2E. On site vehicular circulation is compatible with street circulation. Right hand driving lanes are typical; a left turn lane is proposed at thc auto egress point; the drop -off zones for buses and cars are on the right hand side; adequate space is provided for auto, bus and truck maneuvering. 3. Landscape and Site Treatment: 3A. Existing topographic patterns are not being impacted by the proposed design. 3B. Paved areas throughout the site are designed for a minimum 50 year life. The proposal also gives clear separation between vehicular and pedestrian circulation to insure safety. By reinforcing the existing style of the building in both landscape and architectural design, we will provide a uniform, inviting appearance. The new west plaza will incorporate an informal amphitheater, sitting height walls and lawn areas to facilitate large, intermediate and small group gatherings. The semi - circular shape is literally an invitation to enter the plaza from the bus drop -off zone to join in the activities. The covered play area provides for outdoor recreation during inclement weather. 3C. New trees at the south side of the campus are formed to reinforce entry paths as well as provide an entry lawn to the site. New trees along the cast side of 1934 building both provide shade for thc facade as well as establish a linear rhythm leading to the main entry. New planting at the wcst side plaza provides shade and signals entry as well. 3D. Landscaping near vehicular traffic is typically protected by curbs. Plantings adjacent to pedestrian paths receive various treatments including raised planting areas, tree grates and curbs. The proposed design has taken particular care to insure easy pedestrian lines of travel 'rather than expecting middle school age young adults to "go around" a planting area. 3E. Significant landscape areas are proposed in predominantly paved areas such as thc parking lots, the bus drop -off circle and the plaza. The dense wooded area surrounding the playfields will remain intact. 3F. The service yard at Showalter will be screened by a series of pines and Pacific Wax Myrtle. 3G. Primary exterior activity zones including the main entry, the southeast entry, the covered play area and the plaza will be hard surfaces such as multi - colored concrete and asphalt. 3H. The main cast side entry path will be marked by a series of lighted bollards marching from the street to the entry doors. The plaza entry screen will be back lit to enhance the'entry path and to provide a soft glow to the area. General parking lot lighting and security lighting around the school will be shielded to insurc the lit areas does not spill into adjacent residential areas. wp002.sms/amd 2 • 4. Building Design:. 4A.. Please reference 2A for outline of the architectural style of Showalter and its relationship to the surrounding neighborhood. • 4B. ,The .proposed design does not alter the scale of Showalter Middle School. By removing the existing covered walkway and the horizontal enhancement of the 1938 building as well as the later 1960 additions we will begin to unite the disparate buildings. The new plaza and plaza entrance arcade also serve to unify the main building with the gymnasium and locker room buildings. 4C. Building components shall be designed for a 50 year life as mandated by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Building component design will seek to enhance the Art Moderne style of the original structure. 4D. The concept for color selection of Showalter Middle School is to give recognition and dignity to its Art Modernc beginnings and, secondarily, to unify by color the disparate architectural styles of later additions to the school. It is our expectation this may be accomplished in the following manner. 1. The Main Building (Building A) We will restore the original 1938 building to a look which typified the architecture of the late depression ycars born from financial expediency and the continuing development of aviation and aero - dynamics. We propose to do this by emphasizing the building's long horizontal lines with subtle color- banding in warm neutral hues of off -white and soft tan. To outline the simple lines of the building's geometry a dark brown on the coping will define the angles and provide a color cap to the roof. To further simplify and restore dignity to the main building, the covered walkway will be removed, and a new main approach will be created. It will be defined by a path of lighted bollards leading to the entrance which will be given prominence by creation of a new window facade and canopy. The fascia of the canopy will be painted a sienna color. To reinforce the importance of the main entrance, this is the only place the sienna color will be used. The double doors will either be restored or recreated in their moderne style. .The spotlight over the main entrance will be removed and replaced by lighting more compatible with the renovation. 2. The Latcr Additions Our main goal for the later additions to the middle school campus is to achieve a more unified look -- one building to another. We propose to do this by adding a skim coat of stucco to the aggregate surfaces of the existing later buildings which will soften their exterior texture to one more similar to the main building. Once that has been done the same colors used on the main building will be continued in a single band around these buildings. To further the sense of continuity the heavy concrete awnings over the windows will be removed from Building B, and the roof overhangs will be simplified to a single depth. wp002.sms /amd 3. The Proposed Newest Addition Creation of a school bus turnaround, library and cafeteria additions, and covered walkway on the west side of thc campus will be done in a spirit of respect and re- interpretation of the moderne iconography found on the east side of the main building. The paint color of the new stucco finish will be of the same hue as the east facade of the main building, but to denote that the west side is the new addition, a lighter value of that hue will be used. The subtle color banding will be continucd in the design of the concrete. amphitheater courtyard. The horizontal lines of the windows of the main building will be expressed again in the shape of the openings in the covered walkway encircling the new courtyard. New lighting will dramatize the effects of the new building's geometry, and landscaping will compliment and soften the grounds. It is our hope the renovation and addition to Showalter Middle School will be considered a leading example of historic renovation and vision of the future for thc South Central School District and the City of Tukwila. 4E. Mechanical equipment is primarily located in the attic, thc basement and the boiler room. Outdoor units will be roof mounted and screened from public view. 4F. Please reference 3H and 4D for an outline of exterior lighting. 4G. The existing Showalter campus is composed of a disparate variety of architectural styles. While our intent is to unify the buildings on the campus, the final result will not be monotonous. As previously discussed, the Art Moderne style draws on strong horizontality punctuated by vertical masses. Detailing emphasizes "streamlined" or "aerodynamic" imagery, typically juxtaposing circular geometries on the,linear characteristics of overall massing. These are some of the tools we propose to employ to give variety and interest to thc Showalter design. 5. . Miscellaneous Structures and Street Furniture: 5A. We do not propose any new miscellaneous structures or street furniture at the Showalter campus. 5B. Not applicable. wp002.sms/amd 35 0.4 0 AC 11 e.5•0 760 3 !4Sij CD ./07 . .4006 C) 0 ) E.4 AC.

Date: 171 (91f SHOWALTER MIDDLE SCHOOL - 94475.00 August 16, 1994 BOARD OF ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW DESIGN REVIEW APPLICATION 1. Relationship of Structure to Site: 1A. The additions, alterations and rehabilitation of Showalter Middle School has been designed to significantly improve relationships and linkages between the building and its surroundings. Currently an asphalt bus drop -off zone provides the transition between the street and the building. The proposcd plan provides a landscaped, lawn arca in place of the bus loop. Transition from South 144th Street to the school accommodates pedestrian and bicycle traffic only. The new lawn area maintains the existing street trees as well as accommodates the planting of additional trees to reinforce the pedestrian entry patterns. Vehicular and pedestrian access will be shifted to reinforce the existing main entry to the school (midway along the east facade) and the new entry plaza at the west side of the school. Automobile traffic entering the site has been rerouted from the eastern edge of the property to a more centralized location. This shift offers numerous advantages: entry and egress onto South 144th Street is safer because the driveway will be further from the steep hill at the east edge of the site (thereby improving traffic site lines); traffic impacts on neighbors living on the east edge of the property will be mitigated; on -site parking will be significantly increased (current: 84 spaces, proposed: 161 spaces); an enlarged automobile drop -off' and pickup zone will improve student safety and decrease congestion on the street. Also, we are proposing that bus traffic be routed off the street onto the west side of the sire. This arrangement also offers numerous advantages: the street front of the school will be less congested and far more gracious; bus drop -off will occur within the site, segregated from automobile areas, thereby increasing safety for students; the adjacency of the bus drop -off zone to the exterior student plaza increases the vitality of this important amenity within the campus. 1 B. Proposed parking areas are located off thc street and are well screened by landscaping. Parking has been split into two lots to further reduce the impact of large paved areas. We have also proposed that parking for after school and weekend events will occur in the bus drop -off area thereby providing double utilization of this paved area. 1 C. The design proposes no significant change to the. current height and scale of most .components of the building. We propose a low slope roof on the 1938 building in order to improve drainage. This slope will have a minimal visual impact from the street in front of the school. The major addition to the west side of the school is scaled to fit within the massing of the existing building. 2. Relationship of Structure and Site to Adjoining Area: 2A. Showalter Middle School is surrounded by residential structures to thc south and cast, playfields and woods to the north, and the stadium, football field and track to the west. Significant nearby structures include Foster High School, Saint Thomas Church and the Community Pool. The proposed design for Showalter will significantly unify the existing and new campus structures by emphasizing the original Art Modcrne style of the 1938 building and by providing new finishes and colors that reinforce this style. Characteristics of the style include horizontal massing punctuated with vertical masses at the entry, simple detailing and subtle color banding within the straight- forward massing. While none of the adjacent structures are designed in the Art Moderne style the simple, straight- forward lines and massing of Showalter have provided the contextual history from which the surrounding buildings were designed. wp002.sms/arnd 1 2B. Additional landscaping is proposed along the south, cast and, to a lesser degree, the west sides of the site. As discusscd previously (1A), the new lawn and planting on the south side enrich the street facade of the school. The private houses to the east arc buffered by a series of shrubs and low conifers. Splashes of fall color in the proposed maple trees on the west side of the site will provide a colorful transition between the school and the stadium. The playfields to the north will also be improved. 2C. Showalter Middle School is the oldest large building in the neighborhood and therefore established the context from which more recent buildings have emerged. We propose to restore and reinforce the character of the original Showalter structure. 2D. Please reference IA for discussion of vehicular, pedestrian and service circulation patterns relative to safety, efficiency, convenience and design integration. 2E. On site vehicular circulation is compatible with street circulation. Right hand driving lanes are typical; a left turn lane is proposed at the auto egress point; the drop -off zones for buses and cars are on the right hand side; adequate space is provided for auto, bus and truck maneuvering. 3. Landscape and Site Treatment: 3A. Existing topographic patterns are not being impacted by the proposed design. 3B. Paved areas throughout the site are designed for a minimum 50 year life. The proposal also gives clear separation between vehicular and pedestrian circulation to insure safety. By reinforcing the existing style of the building in both landscape and architectural design, we will provide a uniform, inviting appearance. The new west plaza will incorporate an informal amphitheater, sitting height walls and lawn areas to facilitate large, intermediate and small group gatherings. The semi - circular shape is literally an invitation to enter the plaza from the bus drop -off zone to join in the activities. The covered play area provides for outdoor recreation during inclement weather. 3C. New trees at the south side of the campus are formed to reinforce entry paths as well as provide an entry lawn to the site. New trees along the east side of 1934 building both provide shade for the facade as well as establish a linear rhythm leading to the main entry. New planting at the west side plaza provides shade and signals entry as well. 3D. Landscaping near vehicular traffic is typically protected by curbs. Plantings adjacent to pedestrian paths receive various treatments including raised planting areas, tree grates and curbs. The proposed design has taken particular care to insure easy pedestrian lines of travel rather than expecting middle school age young adults to "go around" a planting area. 3E. Significant landscape areas are proposed in predominantly paved areas such as the parking lots, the bus drop -off circle and the plaza. The dense wooded area surrounding the playfields will remain intact. 3F. The service yard at Showalter will be screened by a series of pines and Pacific Wax Myrtle. 3G. Primary exterior activity zones including the main entry, the southeast entry, the covered play area and the plaza will be hard surfaces such as multi - colored concrete and asphalt. 3H. The main east side entry path will be marked by a series of lighted bollards marching from the street to the entry doors. The plaza entry screen will be back lit to enhance the cntry path and to provide a soft glow to the area. General parking lot lighting and security lighting around the school will be shielded to insure the lit areas does not spill into adjacent residential areas. wp002.sms/aind 2 4. Building Design: 4A. Please reference 2A for outline of the architectural style of Showalter and its relationship to the surrounding neighborhood. 4B. The proposed design does not alter the scale of Showalter Middle School. By removing the existing covered walkway and the horizontal enhancement of the 1938 building as well as the later 1960 additions we will begin to unite the disparate buildings. The new plaza and plaza entrance arcade also serve to unify the main building with the gymnasium and locker room buildings. 4C. Building components shall be designed for a 50 year life as mandated by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Building component design will seek to enhance the Art Moderne style of the original structure. 4D. The concept for color selection of Showalter Middle School is to give recognition and dignity to its Art Moderne beginnings and, secondarily, to unify by color the disparate architectural styles of later additions to the school. It is our expectation this may be accomplished in the following manner. 1. The Main Building (Building A) We will restore the original 1938 building to a look which typified the architecture of the late depression years born from financial expediency and the continuing development of aviation and aero - dynamics. We propose to do this by emphasizing the building's long horizontal lines with subtle color- banding in warm neutral hues of off -white and soft tan. To outline the simple lines of the building's geometry a dark brown on the coping will define the angles and provide a color cap to the roof. To further simplify and restore dignity to the main building, the covered walkway will be removed, and a new main approach will be created. It will be defined by a path of lighted bollards leading to the entrance which will be given prominence by creation of a new window facade and canopy. The fascia of the canopy will be painted a sienna color. To reinforce the importance of the main entrance, this is the only place the sienna color will be used. The double doors will either be restored or recreated in their moderne style. The spotlight over the main entrance will be removed and replaced by lighting more compatible with the renovation. 2. The Later Additions Our main goal for the later additions to the middle school campus is to achieve a more unified look -- one building to another. We propose to do this by adding a skim coat of stucco to the aggregate surfaces of the existing later buildings which will soften their exterior texture to one more similar to the main building. Once that has been done the same colors used on the main building will be continued in a single band around these buildings. To further the sense of continuity the heavy concrete awnings over the windows will be removed from Building B, and the roof overhangs will be simplified to a single depth. wp002.sms/arnd 3 3. The Proposed Ncwcst Addition Creation of a school bus turnaround, library and cafeteria additions, and covered walkway on the west side of the campus will be done in a spirit of respect and re- interpretation of the moderne iconography found on the east side of the main building. The paint color of the new stucco finish will be of the same hue as the east facade of the main building, but to denote that the west side is the new addition, a lighter value of that hue will be used. The subtle color banding will be continued in the design of the concrete. amphitheater courtyard. The horizontal lines of the windows of the main building will be expressed again in the shape of the openings in the covered walkway encircling the new courtyard. New lighting will dramatize the effects of the new building's geometry, and landscaping will compliment and soften the grounds. It is our hope the renovation and addition to Showalter Middle School will be considered a leading example of historic renovation and vision of the future for the South Central School District and the City of Tukwila. 4E. Mechanical equipment is primarily located in the attic, the basement and the boiler room. Outdoor units will be roof mounted and screened from public view. 4F. Please reference 3H and 4D for an outline of exterior lighting. 4G. The existing Showalter campus is composed of a disparate variety of architectural styles. While our intent is to unify the buildings on the campus, the final result will not be monotonous. As previously discussed, the Art Moderne style draws on strong horizontality punctuated by vertical masses. Detailing emphasizes "streamlined" or "aerodynamic" imagery, typically juxtaposing circular geometries on the linear characteristics of overall massing. These are some of the tools we propose to employ to give variety and interest to the Showalter design. 5. Miscellaneous Structures and Street Furniture: 5A. We do not propose any new miscellaneous structures or street furniture at the Showalter campus. 5B.

PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT The Parks and Recreation Department is working with the South Central•School District to improve existing ballfields and field play areas. The depart- ment is not directly involved with building construction. It is the desire of the department to add a 12 x 20' picnic shelter to the southern; field area;near the parking. area. The number of parking stalls the City will require will be based on building and outdoor recreation area needs. This will be done because there are existing outdoor areas (ballfield and a practice game soccer area). If the City parks and Recreation Department joins as a partner with the South Central . School District . to improve the outdoor field areas, there may be a need to add additional parking spaces to serve the sports fields. Soccer and baseball softball are played at different times of the year and should not be played at the same time. Past experience of the Parks and Recreation Department has resulted in a need for a minimum of 35`'stalls for one field and up to 65 for fields. The ,Planning Commission sets the number of .stalls for: public outdoor recreation /park: areas and has applied the.above figures. The . park and Recreation Department will continue to meet and be available to discuss field and parking areas.

Doors: Doors should have quality locking mechanisms with minimum one inch deadbolt locks. All exit doors shall be operable from the interior without the use of a key or. any special knowledge or effort. The Crime Prevention Unit should be contacted for information regarding correct hardware usage at 433 -1823. 2. Security Alarm: Recommend installing a security alarm system during construction that would report a burglary in progress when the school is closed. 3. Graffiti Prevention Program: It is important to win the war .., against the graffiti ' "artist" and keep your building attractive. New non -stick anti - graffiti water -based or wax like coatings are now available to make an effective barrier against graffiti or other potentially staining substances. Contact the crime prevention unit for further information. 4. Windows: Consideration should be given to providing hardened coverings (such as security film, etc.) for ground level windows where glass breakage would allow for access to building interiors by burglars. 5. Landscaping: Plant materials should be placed and maintained so to provide visibility and prohibit hiding places for unauthorized people around ground level door and window areas. Sticker shrubs may discourage crime activities. Low shrubs and umbrella trees (where the canopy is maintained above five(5) feet from the ground) will allow surveillance opportunities, hence reducing the potential for criminal behavior. 6. Lighting: Energy efficient'security lighting is a relatively low -cost, yet extremely effective way to protect the school and its visitors. By providing sufficient lighting in the parking lot and around your building you will discourage burglars and vandals who don't like light, preferring the cover of darkness for their dirty work. Also the lighting will provide a legitimate sense of security for employees, students, and visitors. Checklist prepared by T. Kilburg (433 - 1823) 5/19/94 At ilk.

Date: af1 G� f7 l 9s%f SHOWALTER MIDDLE SCHOOL - 94475.00 BOARD OF ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW DESIGN REVIEW APPLICATION 1. Relationship of Structure to Site: August 16, 1994 1A. The additions, alterations and rehabilitation of Showalter Middle School has been designed to significantly improve relationships and linkages between the building and its surroundings. Currently an asphalt bus drop -off zone provides the transition between the street and the building. The proposed plan provides a landscaped, lawn area in place of the bus loop. Transition from South 144th Street to the school accommodates pedestrian and bicycle traffic only. The new lawn area maintains the existing street trees as well as accommodates the planting of additional trees to reinforce the pedestrian entry patterns. Vehicular and pedestrian access will be shifted to reinforce the existing main entry to the school (midway along the east facade) and the new entry plaza at the west side of the school. Automobile traffic entering the site has been rerouted from the eastern edge of the property to a more centralized location. This shift offers numerous advantages: entry and egress onto South 144th Street is safer because the driveway will be further from the steep hill at the east edge of the site (thereby improving traffic site lines); traffic impacts on neighbors living on the east edge of the property will be mitigated; on -site parking will be significantly increased (current: 84 spaces, proposed: 161 spaces); an enlarged automobile drop -off and pickup zone will improve student safety and decrease congestion on the \r street. Also, we are proposing that bus traffic be routed off the street onto the west side of the site. This arrangement also offers numerous advantages: the street front of the school will be less congested and far more gracious; bus drop -off will occur within the site, segregated from automobile areas, thereby increasing safety for students; the adjacency of the bus drop -off zone to the exterior student plaza increases the vitality of this important amenity within the campus. 1B. Proposed parking areas are located off the street and are well screened by landscaping. Parking has been split into two lots to further reduce the impact of large paved areas. We have also proposed that parking for after school and weekend events will occur in the bus drop -off area thereby providing double utilization of this paved area. 1C. The design proposes no significant change to the current height and scale of most components of the building. We propose a low slope roof on the 1938 building in order to improve drainage. This slope will have a minimal visual impact from the street in front of the school. The major addition to the west side of the school is scaled to fit within the massing of the existing building. 2. Relationship of Structure and Site to Adjoining Area: 2A. Showalter Middle School is surrounded by residential structures to the south and east, playfields and woods to the north, and the stadium, football field and track to the west. Significant nearby structures include Foster High School, Saint Thomas Church and the Community Pool. The proposed design for Showalter will significantly unify the existing and new campus structures by emphasizing the original Art Moderne style of the 1938 building and by providing new finishes and colors that reinforce this style. Characteristics of the style include horizontal massing punctuated with vertical masses at the entry, simple detailing and subtle color banding within the straight- forward massing. While none of the adjacent structures are designed in the Art Moderne style the simple, straight - forward lines and massing of Showalter have provided the contextual history from which the surrounding buildings were designed. wp002.sms/amd 1 2B. Additional landscaping is proposed along the south, east and, to a lesser degree, the west sides of the site. As discussed previously (1A), the new lawn and planting on the south side enrich the street facade of the school. The private houses to the east are buffered by a series of shrubs and low conifers. Splashes of fall color in the proposed maple trees on the west side of the site will provide a colorful transition between the school and the stadium. The playfields to the north will also be improved. 2C. Showalter Middle School is the oldest large building in the neighborhood and therefore established the context from which more recent buildings have emerged. We propose to restore and reinforce the character of the original Showalter structure. 2D. Please reference lA for discussion of vehicular, pedestrian and service circulation patterns relative to safety, efficiency, convenience and design integration. 2E. On site vehicular circulation is compatible with street circulation. Right hand driving lanes are typical; a left turn lane is proposed at the auto egress point; the drop -off zones for buses and cars are on the right hand side; adequate space is provided for auto, bus and truck maneuvering. 3. Landscape and Site Treatment: 3A. Existing topographic patterns are not being impacted by the proposed design. 3B. Paved areas throughout the site are designed for a minimum 50 year life. The proposal also gives clear separation between vehicular and pedestrian circulation to insure safety. By reinforcing the existing style of the building in both landscape and architectural design, we will provide a uniform, inviting appearance. The new west plaza will incorporate an informal amphitheater, sitting height walls and lawn areas to facilitate large, intermediate and small group gatherings. The semi - circular shape is literally an invitation to enter the plaza from the bus drop -off zone to join in the activities. The covered play area provides for outdoor recreation during inclement weather. 3C. New trees at the south side of the campus are formed to reinforce entry paths as well as provide an entry lawn to the site. New trees along the east side of 1934 building both provide shade for the facade as well as establish a linear rhythm leading to the main entry. New planting at the west side plaza provides shade and signals entry as well. 3D. Landscaping near vehicular traffic is typically protected by curbs. Plantings adjacent to pedestrian paths receive various treatments including raised planting areas, tree grates and curbs. The proposed design has taken particular care to insure easy pedestrian lines of travel rather than expecting middle school age young adults to "go around" a planting area. 3E. Significant landscape areas are proposed in predominantly paved areas such as the parking lots, the bus drop -off circle and the plaza. The dense wooded area surrounding the playfields will remain intact. 3F. The service yard at Showalter will be screened by a series of pines and Pacific Wax Myrtle. 3G. Primary exterior activity zones including the main entry, the southeast entry, the covered play area and the plaza will be hard surfaces such as multi- colored concrete and asphalt. 3H. The main east side entry path will be marked by a series of lighted bollards marching from the street to the entry doors. The plaza entry screen will be back lit to enhance the entry path and to provide a soft glow to the area. General parking lot lighting and security lighting around the school will be shielded to insure the lit areas does not spill into adjacent residential areas. wp002.sms/amd 2 4. Building Design: 4A. Please reference 2A for outline of the architectural style of Showalter and its relationship to the surrounding neighborhood. 4B. The proposed design does not alter the scale of Showalter Middle School. By removing the existing covered walkway and the horizontal enhancement of the 1938 building as well as the later 1960 additions we will begin to unite the disparate buildings. The new plaza and plaza entrance arcade also serve to unify the main building with the gymnasium and locker room buildings. 4C. Building components shall be designed for a 50 year life as mandated by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Building component design will seek to enhance the Art Moderne style of the original structure. 4D. The concept for color selection of Showalter Middle School is to give recognition and dignity to its Art Moderne beginnings and, secondarily, to unify by color the disparate architectural styles of later additions to the school. It is our expectation this may be accomplished in the following manner: 1. The Main Building (Building A) We will restore the original 1938 building to a look which typified the architecture of the late depression years born from financial expediency and the continuing development of aviation and aero - dynamics. We propose to do this by emphasizing the building's long horizontal lines with subtle color- banding in warm neutral hues of off -white and soft tan. To outline the simple lines of the building's geometry a dark brown on the coping will define the angles and provide a color cap to the roof. To further simplify and restore dignity to the main building, the covered walkway will be removed, and a new main approach will be created. It will be defined by a path of lighted bollards leading to the entrance which will be given prominence by creation of a new window facade and canopy. The fascia of the canopy will be painted a sienna color. To reinforce the importance of the main entrance, this is the only place the sienna color will be used. The double doors will either be restored or recreated in their moderne style. The spotlight over the main entrance will be removed and replaced by lighting more compatible with the renovation. 2. The Later Additions Our main goal for the later additions to the middle school campus is to achieve a more unified look -- one building to another. We propose to do this by adding a skim coat of stucco to the aggregate surfaces of the existing later buildings which will soften their exterior texture to one more similar to the main building. Once that has been done the same colors used on the main building will be continued in a single band around these buildings. To further the sense of continuity the heavy concrete awnings over the windows will be removed from Building B, and the roof overhangs will be simplified to a single depth. wp002.sms/amd 3 3. The Proposed Newest Addition Creation of a school bus turnaround, library and cafeteria additions, and covered walkway on the west side of the campus will be done in a spirit of respect and re- interpretation of the moderne iconography found on the east side of the main building. The paint color of the new stucco finish will be of the same hue as the east facade of the main building, but to denote that the west side is the new addition, a lighter value of that hue will be used. The subtle color banding will be continued in the design of the concrete. amphitheater courtyard. The horizontal lines of the windows of the main building will be expressed again in the shape of the openings in the covered walkway encircling the new courtyard. New lighting will dramatize the effects of the new building's geometry, and landscaping will compliment and soften the grounds. It is our hope the renovation and addition to Showalter Middle School will be considered a leading example of historic renovation and vision of the future for the South Central School District and the City of Tukwila. 4E. Mechanical equipment is primarily located in the attic, the basement and the boiler room. Outdoor units will be roof mounted and screened from public view. 4F. Please reference 3H and 4D for an outline of exterior lighting. 4G. The existing Showalter campus is composed of a disparate variety of architectural styles. While our intent is to unify the buildings on the campus, the final result will not be monotonous. As previously discussed, the Art Moderne style draws on strong horizontality punctuated by vertical masses. Detailing emphasizes "streamlined" or "aerodynamic" imagery, typically juxtaposing circular geometries on the linear characteristics of overall massing. These are some of the tools we propose to employ to give variety and interest to the Showalter design. 5. Miscellaneous Structures and Street Furniture: 5A.
