This is to confirm our telephone conversation this past
week, wherein I described our intention to prevent any
occurrence of . night construction noises that would have
any impact on the adjacent neighborhoods.
Measures that are being taken to insure compliance by the
contractors involved in this renovation project are as
follows:
1. Included in the construction documents is a sound
insulated structure over the future roof skylight to
eliminate saw cutting, jack hammer and other construction
demolition noises during the removal of the existing
roof slab and construction of the new skylight opening.
2. Also included is a notation in the general demolition
notes "The General Contractor shall satisfy all
requirements of the city of Tukwila noise ordinance
as it relates to execution of this work."
3. During our pre- construction meeting with the contractors,
we will reiterate the measures called out in your noise
and nuisance ordinance with particular emphasis on the
areas relating to demolition and reconstruction work
at the roof. Discussion will also include the hauling
of debris, mechanically transferring of building
materials, the baffling of compressors and /or motor
driven welding machines and the need for ventilation

RE: EPIC- 18 -88: Bon at Southcenter Mall Remodel
Dear Mr. Polk,
I discussed the Bon remodel construction schedule with Guy
Overman on March 16, 1989. Based on Mr. Overman's March 8th
letter and this subsequent conversation, I have the following
understanding of your proposed project:
1. All construction will be done outside of store hours.
2. A roof cap will be first built over the atrium area;
generally sized to the atrium footprint. This will be a
structure with enough room for workers and equipment inside
to break through the roof. I assume that compressors will
be located on the roof, outside of this enclosed area.
3. The roofcap will be made of wood framing and plyboard. It
may be acoustically insulated later if noise becomes a
problem.
4. Construction will begin with breaking through the roof and
proceeding down floor by floor.
5. Debris will be removed via the store elevator to the
receiving area where it will be loaded and hauled out.
Debris may be hauled out during daylight hours.
6. No debris chutes will be used.
7. You would like the City to establish the mitigating measures
to be taken by the contractor to minimize noise impacts and
allow construction during the 10 P.M. to 7 A.M. period.

Tukwila Noise Standards
As stated in our February 22nd letter, conformance with the
Tukwila Noise and Nuisance Ordinances will be required. Tukwila
generally allows builders the flexibility to use the most
effective method to satisfy City standards. The City then
monitors for project compliance.
The Department requires that the following actions shall be taken
to help avoid construction noise problems:
A. roof -top jack hammering be done outside of the 10 P.M.
-- 7 A.M. period; possibly between 6 P.M. - -10 P.M. on
Saturday and Sunday,
B. the roof cap be acoustically insulated prior to
beginning demolition,
C. the roof -top compressor be enclosed in an acoustically
insulated structure, and
D. all debris be hauled away only during daylight hours.
Implementation of the above recommendations shall not release the
contractor from satisfying Tukwila noise standards.
Any construction activities which can be heard at the property
lines, or generate a complaint, shall cause a citation to be
issued and work stopped from 10 P.M. to 7 A.M. Generation of
noise impacts may cause an environmental impact statement to be
required before work resumes.
Applicant Action
The applicant needs to send me an agreement containing the
following elements in order to issue an SEPA DNS.
A. Specific agreement to satisfy the actions A through D
above.
B. Acknowledgement that any construction activities which
can be heard at the property lines, or generate a
complaint, shall cause a citation to be issued, work
stopped from 10 P.M. to 7 A.M., and may cause an
environmental impact statement to be required before
work resumes.
Actual implementation of these SEPA elements shall be
demonstrated in building permit application materials.

RE: PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES ON
THE BON MARCHE AT SOUTHCENTER
RELATIVE TO TUKWILA NOISE & NUISANCE
Dear Mr.. Umetsu:
ORDINANCE
It is our client's intention to fully comply with the City of
Tukwila's noise ordinance.
The store hours are 9:30 A.M. to 9:30 P.M. Monday through Friday,
9:30 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. Saturday, and 11:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M.
Sunday. That leaves a very limited window for heavy construction
during daylight hours. Some night shift activity may be necessary.
Unlike the Nordstrom project most of our construction activity is
indoors.
Our construction plan is as follows: A temporary watertight shed
roof . structure will be built at the proposed atrium. The skylight
will be erected around the temporary shed roof during daylight
hours. Temporary walls would be constructed around the proposed
atrium on each floor. Staging would be set up to lower sawcut
material out of the roof and subsequent floor levels of the atrium
and taken through the store by freight elevator to the receiving
area. Material could be hauled during daylight hours.

RE: EPIC - 18 -88: Bon at Southcenter Mall Remodel
Dear Mr. Polk,
As I discussed with Guy Overman of your office on February 7th,
no SEPA issues stand in the way of immediately issuing a
Determination of Non - Significance except adequate assurances that
night construction noise impacts will be avoided. This has been
a source of several complaints on other projects, and the City
wants to prevent any reoccurrences.
At a minimum, conformance with the Tukwila Noise and Nuisance
Ordinances (attached) will be required. The provisions of these
ordinances will be very strictly enforced between 10 P.M. and 7
A.M. All construction activity noises that can be heard at the
property line are prohibited by these standards during this
period. Construction activities generally prohibited during this
period by these ordinances include, but are not limited to
loading or hauling debris, jack hammering, mechanically
transferring building materials, and running compressors.
Any construction activities which can be heard at the property
lines shown on the attached map, or generate a complaint, shall
cause a citation to be issued and work stopped from 10 P.M. to
7 A.M.
Please send me a letter describing your project construction
activities in accordance with the above provisions. Feel free to
call me at 433 -1858 if I can be of further assistance.

the applicant or holder thereof, but shall be at the reasonable
discretion of the administrator.
(c) No variance shall be granted pursuant to this chapter
until the administrator has considered the relative interests
of the applicant, other owners or possessors or property
likely to be affected by the noise, and the general public.
A technical or economic variance may be granted only after a
public hearing on due notice. The administrator may grant a
variance, if he finds that:
(1) The noise occurring or proposed to occur does
not endanger public health or safety;
(2) The applicant demonstrates that the criteria
required for a temporary, technical or economic variance
under Section 8.22.190 are met.
(d) Variances, except temporary variances, granted
pursuant to this chapter may be renewed on terms and conditions
and for periods which would be appropriate on the initial
granting of a variance. No renewal shall be granted except
on application made at least sixty days prior to the expiration
of the variance.
(e) Any person aggrieved by the denial, grant, or the
terms and conditions on the grant of an application for a
variance or renewal of a variance by the administrator may
appeal such decision to the board of adjustment under pro-
cedures contained in Section 8.22.290.
(f) Any person or source granted a variance pursuant
to the procedures of this section or on appeal shall be
exempt from the maximum permissible sound levels established
by this chapter to the extent provided in the variance. (Ord.
1363 §1(part), 1985).
98 (Tukwila 6/86)
8.22.190 -- 8.22.210
8.22.190 Types of variances. (a) Temporary Variance.
The administrator may grant a temporary variance, not to
exceed fourteen days, for any activity, use, process or equip-
ment which the administrator determines, in accordance with
rules and regulations, does not annoy a substantial number
of the people and does not endanger public health or safety.
(b) Technical Variance. A technical variance may be
granted by the administrator on the grounds that there is not
practical means known or available for the adequate prevention,
abatement or control of the noise involved. Any technical
variance shall be subject to the holder's taking of any alter-
native measures that the administrator may prescribe. The
duration of each technical variance shall be until such
practical means for prevention, abatement or control become
known or available. The holder of a technical variance, as
required by the administrator, shall make reports to the
administrator detailing actions taken to develop a means of
noise control or to reduce the noise involved and must relate
these actions to pertinent current technology.
(c) Economic Variance. An economic variance may be
granted by the administrator on the grounds that compliance
with the particular requirement or requirements from which
the variance is sought will require the taking of measures
which, because of their extent or cost, must be spread over
a period of time. The duration of an economic variance shall
be for a period not to exceed such reasonable time as is
required in the view of the administrator for the taking of
the necessary measures. An economic variance shall contain
a timetable for the taking of action in an expeditious manner
and shall be conditioned on adherence to the timetable. (Ord.
1363 §1(part), 1985).
8.22.200 Authority of administrator. The administrator
is authorized and directed to administer and enforce the pro-
visions of this chapter; provided, that the chief of police
is directed to enforce Sections 8.22.060 through 8.22.110,
motor vehicle sound levels, and Section 8.22.130, public
disturbance noises. Upon request by the administrator or
the chief of police, all other city departments and divisions
are authorized to assist them in enforcing this chapter.

(9) Instituting a public education program on noise;
(10) Reviewing at least every three years the provisions
of this chapter and recommending revisions consistent with
technology to reduce noise. (Ord. 1363 §1(part), 1985).
8.22.220 Measurement of sound. If the measurement of
sound is made with a sound level meter, it shall be an in-
strument in good operating condition and shall meet the re-
quirement for a Type I or Type II instrument, as described
in American National Standards Institute Specifications,
Section 1.4 -1971. If the measurements are made with other
instruments, or assemblages of instruments, the procedure
must be carried out in such manner that the overall accuracy
shall be at least that called for in Section 1.4 -1971 for
Type II. instruments. (Ord. 1363 §1(part), 1985).
8.22.230 Measurement -- Technical correction. When the
location, distance or technique prescribed in this chapter
for measurement of sound is impractical or would yield mis-
leading or inaccurate results, measurements shall be taken
at other locations or distances using appropriate correction
factors, as specified in the rules promulgated by the adminis-
trator. (Ord. 1363 §1(part), 1985).
8.22.240 Receiving properties within more than one
district. Where a receiving property lies within more than
one district, the maximum permissible sound level shall be
determined by the district within which the measurement is
made. (Ord. 1363 §1(part), 1985).
8.22.250 Enforcement - -Right of entry. Upon presentation
of proper credentials, the administrator, with the consent
of the occupant, or with the consent of the owner of any un-
occupied building, structure, property or portion thereof, or
pursuant to a lawfully issued warrant, may enter at all
reasonable times, any building, structure, property or portion
thereof to inspect the same whenever necessary to make an
inspection to enforce or determine compliance with the pro-
visions of this chapter or whenever he has cause to believe
98 -2 (Tukwila 6/86)
8.22.260 -- 8.22.270
that a violation of this chapter has been or is being com-
mitted; provided, if the building, structure, property or
portion thereof is unoccupied, the administrator shall first
make a reasonable effort to locate the owner or other persons
having charge or control of the building, structure, property
or portion thereof and demand entry. If the administrator
is unable to locate the owner or such other persons and he
has reason to believe that conditions therein create an
immediate health hazard or a public disturbance, then he
shall make entry. (Ord. 1363 §1(part), 1985).
8.22.260 Enforcement -- Administrative proceedings.
Whenever the administrator has reason to believe that an
unlawful act under this chapter has been committed, he shall
initiate an administrative proceeding as provided by Section
8.22.270, or initiate an enforcement action under Section
8.22.290; provided, however, that in the event the unlawful
act constitutes a violation of the environmental sound levels
established in Sections 8.22.060 through 8.22.110, and the
same type of unlawful act has not been committed previously
by the offender, then the administrator shall initiate only
an administrative proceeding as provided by Section 8.22.070.
(Ord. 1363 §1(part), 1985).
8.22.270 Enforcement -- Administrative procedure. (a)
Notice and Order. Whenever the administrator has reason
to believe that a noise will be most promptly and equitably
reduced by an administrative proceeding, that a public
nuisance noise is being emitted, or that the terms of a
variance have not been met, he may serve a written notice
and order directed to the owner or operator of the source,
the person in possession of the property where the sound
originates, or the holder of the variance. One copy shall
also be posted on the property or source, if reasonably
possible, and another copy shall be mailed to each complainant
(if any) about the noise; additional copies may be mailed
by the administrator to such other interested or affected
persons as the administrator deems appropriate.
(1) The notice shall contain a brief and concise
description of the conditions alleged to be in violation or
to be a public nuisance noise, the provision(s) of this
chapter alleged to have been violated, and sound level read-
ings, if taken, including the time and place of their record-
ing.
(2) The order shall contain a statement of the
corrective action required and shall specify a reasonable
time within which the action must be accomplished.

8.22.280
requested, to each person at his last known address. If the
whereabouts of the persons is unknown and cannot be ascertained
by the administrator in the exercise of reasonable diligence,
the administrator shall make affidavit to that effect, then
the service of the notice and order upon the persons may be
made by publishing them once each week for two consecutive
weeks in the city official newspaper. The failure of any
such person to receive the notice and order shall not affect
the validity of any proceedings taken under this chapter.
Service by certified mail in the manner provided in this
section shall be effective on . the date of mailing.
(c) Final Orders. Any order issued by the administrator
pursuant to this chapter shall become final unless, no later
than ten days after the order is served, a person named in
the notice and order requests a hearing before the board of
adjustment in accordance with subsection (a) of Section
8.22.280.
(d) Administrative Conferences. An informal adminis-
trative conference may be conducted any time by the adminis-
trator for the purpose of bringing out all the facts and cir-
cumstances relating to an alleged violation, promoting
communication between concerned parties, and providing a
forum for efficient resolution of a violation. The adminis-
trator may call a conference in response to a request from
any person aggrieved by an order of the administrator or
the administrator may call a conference on his own motion.
Attendance at the conferences shall be determined by the
administrator and need not be limited to those named in a
notice and order. As a result of information developed at
the conference, the administrator may affirm, modify or
revoke his order. The holding of an administrative conference
shall not be a prerequisite to use of any other enforcement
provisions contained in this chapter. (Ord. 1363 §1(part),
1985) .
8.22.280 Appeals. (a) Right to Appeal. Any person
aggrieved by an order issued by the administrator, including
a variance decision, may file an appeal in writing with the
city clerk, who shall accept service on behalf of the board
of adjustment within a period extending to five p.m. of the
tenth day following the date of service of the order. The
appeal shall be accompanied by a receipt from the finance
director showing payment by the appellant of a filing fee
of ten dollars.
(b) Content of Appeal. The written appeal shall contain
the following information:
(1) A brief statement setting forth any legal in-
terest of each of the appellants in the property or equipment
involved in the order or variance decision;
(2) A brief statement in concise language of the spe-
cific action protested, together with any material facts
claimed to support the contentions of the appellant;
98 -4 (Tukwila 6/86)
8.22.290
(3) A brief statement of the relief sought, and the
reason why it is claimed the protested action should be
reversed, modified, or otherwise set aside;
(4) The signatures of all parties named as appellants
and their mailing addresses;
(5) The verification (by declaration under the
penalty of perjury) of at least one appellant as to the truth
of the matters stated in the appeal.
(c) Board of Adjustment's Consideration. The board
of adjustment shall consider the appeal and within thirty
days of the conclusion of the hearing, shall render its
decision and mail its final order to the administrator and
the appellant. The ruling or interpretation of the adminis-
trator may be affirmed, reversed or modified in the board
of adjustment's final order. If the ruling or interpretation
of the administrator is reversed or substantially modified,
the board of adjustment shall direct that the filing fee
be returned to the appellant. The decision of the board of
adjustment shall be final, and the appellant and administrator
bound thereby. (Ord. 1363 §1(part), 1985).
8.22.290 Penalties. A. Any person convicted of an
offense defined by this chapter or made unlawful thereby
shall be punished as provided in Section 8.01.050 of this
code.
B. In addition to any other sanction or remedial in-
junctive procedure which may otherwise be available, any
person failing to comply with a final order issued by the
administrator or board of adjustment shall be subject to a
civil penalty in an amount not to exceed one hundred dollars
per day from the date set for compliance until such order
is complied with. The civil penalty shall be collected by
civil action, brought in the name of the city. The adminis-
trator shall notify the city attorney in writing of the name
of any person subject to the penalty and the amount thereof;
and the city attorney shall with the assistance of the
administrator, take appropriate action to collect the penalty.
The defendant in any such action may show, in mitigation of
liability:
(1) That the failure to comply was caused by the
wilful act, or negelect or abuse of another; or
(2) That action to comply with the order was com-
menced promptly upon receipt of notice thereof, but that
full compliance within the time specified was prevented by
inability to obtain necessary materials or labor, inability
to gain access to the subject building, or other condition
or circumstance beyond the control of defendant, and upon
such a showing the court may remit all or part of the ac-
cumulated penalty as justice may require. (Ord. 1363 §1
(part), 1985).

RE: SEPA Environmental Checklist
Bon Southcenter Remodel
Dear Mr. Umetsu:
kti
JUL121988.
c n l
Enclosed you will find four preliminary floor plans which show
the extent of the proposed renovation at the Bon - Southcenter
and a location map showing the project location.
All changes to the building are internal except the skylight .
at the top of the atrium.
The square footage of the building will be affected in the
following way: the removal of floor area (shown as cross
hatched) at the atrium is approximately -2,225 sq.ft. x 3
floors = minus 6,750 sq.ft. and moving the mall entrance out
will add approximately 3,850 sq.ft.
I hope this clarifies the project and that the environmental
check list can now be completed. Should you wish any
additional information please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Susan Kelleher
